The back garden of the castle.

An Nuo flashed to a huge rock and moved his fingers quickly on the stone.

In just a second, An Nuo flashed away again.

And on the stone, there was a complex pentagonal pattern.

"It seems that you have laid a good foundation before!"

Philomena walked over to the stone and observed the magic pattern of the [Mark] for a while, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Although the pattern is not perfect yet, it is already 100% complete. Let's try it out and see if it works!"

An Nuo looked at the seventh-level lich who was on standby beside him.

Without saying a word, the lich swung his staff and threw a [Undead Death Bullet] into the air.

And the next second after the [Undead Death Bullet] flew into the air, the magic pattern on the stone lit up.

Then the [Undead Death Bullet] turned in the air and flew towards the stone.

boom!

The two-meter-high stone was instantly blasted into pieces.

“Success!”

Liz and Sasier next to them high-fived excitedly.

"Don't be happy too soon, the enemy is not stone."

Philomena poured cold water on the two women and said, "If it's a large monster, it's not a big deal, but if it's a small target, it's not easy to carve magic patterns on a fast-moving object.

Moreover, you have a sixth-level [Mark], which can only attract the sixth-level ranged attacks of you and your summoned creatures.

You are currently at level seven. If you don't find a way to improve the quality of your skills, it won't be of much use in your current battle."

Annuo is also aware of the current problem.

"We can use shadows to test the actual combat use. As for the improvement of skill levels..."

An Nuo calculated carefully and found that he still needed to upgrade a lot of levels.

In addition to the newly learned [Marking], there are also a number of key sixth-level skills, such as the [Clarity] that restores magic power, the extremely powerful magic [Star Magic Bullet], the self-created melee skill [Horizontal Four-Direction Slash], etc.

Upgrading a level 6 skill to level 7 is different from before.

This requires ten red souls!

It only takes two red souls to upgrade a sixth-level summon to a seventh-level summon.

The previous Anno had no upgraded soul at all.

But An Nuo should not be short of seventh-level souls in the future.

All the souls obtained from hunting today had to be transformed into summoned creatures, but when Annuo came out of Hidden Dragon City, he still had 21 souls left.

Originally, these souls were planning to continue upgrading the sixth-level summoned creatures to the seventh level.

After all, there is only a soul, and there is no way to summon it without the corresponding sacrificial materials.

After the battle, although Annuo was out of danger, he did not use up all the souls immediately.

Now it is just right to be used to upgrade the summoner's skill level.

The first two skills Anno chose were [Mark] and [Clarity].

After obtaining the seventh-level [Mark], as long as Annuo successfully casts the magic pattern on the opponent, the opponent will basically be dead.

"You, the [Stand-In Straw Man], must also speed up the process."

Philomena reminded from the side: "For you, attacking is more than enough, and the next thing is to make sure you can survive on the battlefield.

Based on my understanding of you, under my guidance, you should be able to learn it in about a month.

Well, if it were Ruth, I think a week of teaching would be enough.

Ruth, why do you think there is such a big gap between people? "

"Well!"

Seeing An Nuo's face darken, Ruth quickly changed the subject and said, "President, you have been in Xuelong City for three days. The day after tomorrow is the date for the President's Council to be held. You should return to the Royal City to preside over the meeting."

"Oh, so soon?"

An Nuo recovered from the shock, then found Ella and asked, "How is the investigation going on the cultists?"

"Master, according to the information sent back by Andre, there is a church called Wisdom that is rapidly recruiting believers among the refugees in Sunset City.

According to the investigation, [Zhi] believes in a god called Okani!

Currently, Andre is following clues to find the person behind the church.

Andre sent back a message yesterday that the ruins of Sunset City are occupied by some monsters that escaped from Hidden Dragon City, as well as a small number of monsters that came from unknown sources."

"The Church, Oukani, and monsters?"

An Nuo thought for a while and said, "Give the adventurers in Xuelong City the task of defeating monsters and mark the difficulty of the task.

And synchronize it to the adventurer guilds throughout the East Territory. If there are no adventurers in the East Territory who can take the quest, then synchronize the quest to the King City Guild!"

The monsters in Hidden Dragon City are at least mid-level, and there are quite a few level six monsters.

The lowest mission level is gold (level 4).

However, there are currently no gold-level adventurers in Xuelong City.

However, there should be gold-level adventurers in Gray City where Viscount Renault is currently located.

After An Nuo continued to explain some things, he rode Adelaide and returned to the royal city with Lu Yan and other girls who were visiting Xuelong City.

As soon as he returned to the royal city, Annuo received two shocking news.

[Charles XI is preparing to abdicate, and Tester will be the next king of the Kingdom of Nergal and will be crowned in half a year]

Charles XI was already in poor health.

This time, Simmons hurt him again, and he felt like he had aged ten years.

Although it was postponed for half a year, Charles XI had already asked Tester to handle government affairs, and he became a supporting role.

Half a year was just enough time for Test to become a qualified king.

This news was just released yesterday.

As for the other news, the eighth-level archmage Priss who was on duty in Warrengel returned without permission.

Pulis is a supporter of Simmons.

His position in the aristocratic faction is equivalent to Troy's position in the kingdom faction.

Priss's purpose in returning was to oppose Tester's succession to the throne.

"The nobility is the heir, and the throne of king should be taken over by His Royal Highness Prince Simmons!"
