City Lord's Mansion, Bedroom
Standing at the window, looking at the "parade" below that looked like a demonstration, Rig said to Mary beside him:
"Ma'am, did you feel it just now?"
"Hmm. Same aura as the clan leader. Just slightly weaker."
Riger shook his head.
"It's hard to say."
"What do you mean? Could he be more powerful than the clan leader?"
"Putting everything else aside, he was promoted based on his own strength, not inherited from generation to generation."
"Strong is strong, it has nothing to do with self-creation or inheritance."
"Helin is not yet fifteen years old. Besides, he now has a lifespan of three thousand years."
"How is this possible! Isn't 150 the upper limit for human lifespan?"
"Do you remember the words on the gate of Wizard City?"
"Either reproduce or live forever."
"Wizards pursue truth and eternal life. This is the wizard system created by your youngest son! The soul pursues truth, and the body pursues eternal life. In eternal life, we pursue endless truth.
This is a profound and far-reaching path to heaven! Wizards may once again replace the original creatures of ancient times, and we knights may return to ancient times and become vassals of wizards.
"How is this possible?"
"The analysis I can get, others can get too. No one who can become a great knight is a fool. The age of knights, the age of knight rule, is disappearing."
"Then why didn't anyone stop it?"
Riger shook his head.
"Our son has mastered the rhythm so well. When we wanted to counterattack, it was already impossible. It has become the general trend. Think about it, what did Herlin do after becoming a wizard?
Tsk tsk, every step he took was against the Great Knight's bottom line, until now he began to show his power, once again leaping over the previous bottom line, stepping on the bottom line that now matches his strength. Tsk tsk... Mary, you really gave birth to an amazing son! "
"Bottom line! After becoming a wizard, I built a wizard city. This is something that every professional city in the Federation has, so this doesn't count!"
"Considering the circumstances at the time and Herlin's strength, this is the best he can get. This is the bottom line. Look at the Wizard City. It has gathered all the wizards in the Federation and has become a formidable force under the watchful eyes of the Knights. What's the next big move?"
"Thirty-eight wizards. Promoting cell phones."
"Yes! Thirty-eight wizards, what a wonderful number! It's written in the record Vivian gave me. Herlin murmured, "Thirty-five? That's enough."
"Indeed, it is enough. As long as there are not more than forty, he will be safe."
"Why? Forty."
"Because the number of known Grand Knights is forty. Nearly forty wizards, it could be said, was the bottom line for the Grand Knights at the time. Look, in the next two months, not a single wizard was born. And then what happened?"
"And then... it's now, I'm promoted to a great wizard and expanding the wizard city."
"No, Mary, there are three things you didn't tell me."
"Which three? There are only these two major things."
Riger stretched out his five fingers and said
"Promote to Great Wizard, expand the Wizard City, open the Wizard Tower, travel abroad, and accept Emma as a disciple."
"What's the big deal about the last three?"
"Oh, you think it's not a big deal? Let me analyze it for you.
What will happen if we open the Wizard Tower? No wizards have been born in two months. What do you think is the reason?"
"To advance to a wizard, do I need to be in the wizard tower?"
"Yes and no. According to Vivian, as long as you're in the Wizard City, you can advance. However, it's too difficult. No one has succeeded in two months. And where were the thirty-eight wizards born at that time? How long did it take?"
"Wizard Tower, within an hour. This corresponds exactly to the settlement method of opening the Wizard Tower and settling accounts once every hour."
"Also, the number, nine, the maximum value in the single digits, is also a bottom line!"
"What's the big deal about Herlin's travels?"
"Travel? Haha, a parade is more like a demonstration. Didn't it just start? At this stage, it's not just a matter of power, but also a contest of supreme combat power. Believe it or not, his travels will change the distribution and structure of power in the entire world."
"How is this possible?"
"Of course, this is just my guess, so let's wait and see!"
"And finally? That Emma, what's the big deal?"
"He Lin told me that every time he breaks through a major stage, an Origin Tower Seal is born! Whoever possesses it is his successor, just like his child. Do you know who these three Origin Tower Seals were given to?"
"What three? Shouldn't it be two? The original Doyle and the current Emma."
"They are the second and third. He gave the first one to the Wizard Tower. It caused a miraculous change in the Wizard Tower, giving it the magical powers and wisdom equivalent to a weakened version of Herin. Do you understand? The Wizard Tower is the core of the entire Wizard City. I still remember that Herin built the Wizard Tower first and then the Wizard City. He gave the first Origin Tower Seal to the Wizard Tower, which meant he gave it to the Wizard City and all the wizards. Wizards can quickly advance to wizards in the Wizard Tower! It's the same principle."
"His second Origin Tower Seal was given to Doyle. Doyle, what's so special about him?"
"A very ordinary person!"
"He was one of the gifted sorcerers who hadn't activated their magic at the time. He was the representative of this group. He was a huge potential force that Herlin urgently needed to absorb. So, Doyle became his first disciple. Are there any sorcerers who haven't activated their magic yet?"
"Aren't they Ham's grey robes?"
"Ham, what a pity. What Doyle couldn't do, Ham helped him achieve. However, as long as Doyle exists, he himself is a banner and a role model. No matter how well Ham does, he can't replace Doyle's position in the hearts of those unactivated sorcerers."
"Now, there are no unactivated gifted sorcerers. Everyone is proud to be a sorcerer. Herlin has also been promoted to a great wizard and can compete with legendary knights. Therefore, the timing of Emma's appearance is really perfect, so Herlin decisively accepted her as a disciple. He now has strength, influence, and the support of the federation. He has the conditions to reach out to ordinary people."
"Emma is the representative of ordinary wizards. She is a beacon for ordinary people to become extraordinary, a role model among ordinary people, and a banner for ordinary wizards in the Wizard City. She is Herlin's disciple. This identity alone is enough for her to escort ordinary wizards in the future."
"Hiss—Helin, is he really such a cunning person?"
"It's better. If not, that would be even more terrifying."
"What does that mean?"
“…” Riger didn’t say anything else.
