Ron ascended into the air using the abilities of a legendary professional.
The ground continued to shake.
A strong wind from the north whipped across Ron's face...
'Have our elven demon gods fallen?'
Ron seemed to sense the ancestral tree's sorrow from the strong winds.
Some children betrayed their parents, and some even perished because of them…
Sigh... After taking one last look at the north direction, Ron went down; he also needed to deal with things and make arrangements.
Apart from Ron, many more magic crystal vehicles and powerful individuals capable of levitation remained in the air.
Back at the old lord's mansion, Ron ordered, "It's time to go to the floating city. All stewards, assemble at the consulate building in the floating city."
Due to the strong tremors felt on the ground, Ron no longer insisted on keeping the old lord's mansion on the ground, and the new lord's mansion in the floating fortress was clearly adapted to the war.
With staff relocating, the managers couldn't even focus on dealing with the earthquake. One after another, the managers' magic crystal vehicles headed towards the floating city in the sky. They lacked a magic intelligence network, and the managers still didn't know the cause of the earthquake...
At this time, the lord has summoned us, and he will surely discuss this recent turn of events.
There are managers inside the sky where the floating city is located, and there are also managers of all sizes on the ground.
A single transfer order brought together the region's top brass.
After learning the location of his new home, Ron went to the consulate building.
In the council chamber of the building, Ron sat in the lord's seat, while Nika began to report on the impact of the earthquake.
"Number of houses affected...personnel casualties..."
After Nika finished her report, all the stewards from the surrounding area of the city arrived, while the stewards from the more distant scenic area would have to wait a long time.
Ron turned to Nika and said, "Okay, let's get started!"
Not everyone needs to be there; they will communicate with each other on their own. The magic crystal vehicles of the scenic area managers are still flying in the sky. While magic reports are quick to arrive, there are few direct teleportation arrays to various places. Magic report technology has made further breakthroughs and is in mass production, but miniaturized teleportation arrays are still under research, mainly due to a shortage of space mages.
Following Ron's order, Nika first explained the cause of the earthquake to the stewards. As the head steward, Nika had the authority to know the latest information. In fact, since Ron had not returned for so many years, Nika had contributed to the construction of the Demon News intelligence network.
"My God, the earthquake was caused by the World Tree?"
"The World Tree fell from the sky..."
"..."
Despite their disbelief, the managers chose to believe her out of trust in Head Manager Nika.
Nika then added, "Based on the reports from our personnel in the Elf Forest, the World Tree barrier no longer exists..."
After Nika finished speaking, Ron added, "The World Tree's calamity against the invading demons is also due to the Demon Abyss. It's very likely that the Demon Abyss Spirit God of our realm is in trouble."
Ron, as the Papal Lord, spoke up, and the stewards were even more surprised that there were still allies of my territory in the Abyss.
Regardless of what the stewards thought, after recounting these things that everyone would know sooner or later, Ron began issuing territorial arrangements: "Gather the people on the ground and bring them all up to the sky, but also retain necessary territories on the ground, such as the main city, etc..."
The main purpose of consolidating forces is to avoid being defeated one by one.
With the fall of the Abyss God, retaliation from the Abyss could come at any moment.
...
...
The meeting went on very late. Apart from Ron giving a brief outline of the strategy at the beginning, the rest of the time was spent making arrangements by Manager Nika.
Since she's rarely around, the managers have gotten used to listening to Head Manager Nika.
After stating his requirements, Ron was the first to leave, returning to the new lord's mansion in the floating city.
The new house was unfamiliar, yet it retained the layout of the old courtyard. When asked, his parents explained that they were worried Ron wouldn't be used to it when he returned. But what did it matter? Home is wherever family is.
After settling himself in, Ron ordered the guards again, "Bring Gray in..."
"Yes, my lord."
...
After a while, Gray was brought before Ron.
Ron had already mentioned Gray's situation last time, namely that Will's family representatives would come to the lord's manor.
Grey is Will's son, a descendant of heroes. After our last meeting, Ron gave Grey a task.
While Ron was discussing matters with Nicholas, Gray was also practicing diligently…
Gray's side.
This was his second visit to the lord's manor. His father had died fighting for Sandy, and he felt both honored and saddened…
Last time he came, Gray was at a loss for words when facing the lord.
I still remember the last time the lord solemnly took out the summoning scroll. It was the lord who gave Gray hope. Although Gray is not a summoner, he is a magician.
Gray can meet the mental strength requirements for a summoner.
Since then, Gray has focused all his efforts on minoring in summoning, and he still does so now...
Floating City, Lord's Hall.
Looking at the determined expression on the young man's face, Ron asked, "Well? Are you confident now?"
"My lord, Gray is confident." Gray's gaze was firm, and he clenched his fist tightly in secret.
"Alright, give it a try. Don't worry about anything else. I have plenty of those summoning scrolls you have!" Ron said, then took out several more summoning scrolls from his storage ring.
Gray had only been studying summoning for a short time, but that didn't matter. Magic scrolls existed in the world, and the current summoning magic—no, it should be called Summoning Source Magic—had been improved by Ron many times.
Gray only needed to have the ability to use the summoning scroll. After practicing for several days, it was clear from the changes in Gray's expression that he was very confident.
Following the lord's orders, Gray saw several scrolls in the lord's hands. He breathed a sigh of relief and then solemnly began the casting process.
Summon Heroic Spirits from the Scroll!
Summoner Gray, summoned creature... the fallen heroic spirit, Will.
Blood ties bear witness, family bonds bind us, and our church within the Fayuan region grants passage…
First attempt, failed!
Ron encouraged him, and Gray's confidence remained undiminished.
Before the second incident, Gray concluded that the reason was that he had used too much mental energy, resulting in insufficient mental energy to maintain his strength later.
After restoring his magical power and mental strength, Gray cast the scroll once again.
“A Heroic Spirit… Gray only knows… Father, you should come back, I miss you…”
This time, the elemental fluctuations around the Lord's Hall remained stable.
It's almost done.
Ron's relieved smile.
a long time……
The scroll spirit was successfully summoned, and the deceased Will returned to the material world once again.
How amazing! But Gray, oblivious to everything else, exclaimed excitedly, "Father, you're back..."
Ron watched quietly from the side, pondering the reasons for this success.
It's actually not complicated. Summoners in the material world can already summon beings from the surface source of magic. Currently, Will's soul is protected within the church of the surface source of magic.
Knowing the summoned creature's true name, having a direct bloodline connection, and receiving permission from the church, plus the power of the church's pastors if the energy is insufficient...
Despite the favorable conditions, the summoning of the Heroic Spirit was ultimately successful. After this, Will's Heroic Spirit established a connection with the material world. Even if he is forcibly attracted from the depths of the source of magic again in the future, it will be much easier to summon Will again.
Because Will is not a natural Heroic Spirit, he lacks the original strength of a natural Heroic Spirit. Strength can be improved, and the cultivation of Heroic Spirits has no life or death restrictions; it only requires the accumulation of time. Correspondingly, it is more difficult for non-natural Heroic Spirits to step onto the path of divinity.
Debating gains and losses too easily leads to mistakes. As long as the benefits outweigh the drawbacks at present, that's fine. Besides, turning skilled warriors into heroic spirits is a last resort.
After a while, the spirit Will also became aware of Ron's presence.
"My lord!"
"Greetings, Your Lordship!" Will instinctively saluted.
The lord himself is the highest-ranking official in wartime.
As a legendary figure, Ron's transformation into a Heroic Spirit made Will even more aware of Ron's terrifying power and incredibly strong soul aura...
Judging from Will's performance, it seems the Divine Robe's functionality is insufficient! The heroic spirits from the Source of Law are different from ordinary undead; their forms directly penetrate the soul, concealing only the soul's fluctuations…
Yes.
Ron used another magical artifact, the Twin Rings of Divine Magic, which he primarily used to disguise himself as a believer and further develop the function of concealing his spiritual fluctuations.
After achieving legendary status, his horizons broadened, and he easily utilized the hidden functions of his own equipment.
Will suddenly felt that the lord in front of him was like an ordinary living being, and felt that he was even more unfathomable. The legendary Ron was currently beyond soul perception, and the unknown meant that he was difficult to measure.
Will calmed down and began to accept the status quo. Fortunately, it was only his own son who was summoning him.
Seeing that the experiment was a success, Ron said, "You can all go down now!"
"Yes, my lord."
Inside the lord's manor, Ron took out a scroll, wrote out the order, and a guard rushed forward to deliver it to the printing department.
The ground tremors moved away from the floating city, and strong winds caused ripples to spread across the floating city's protective barrier...
On this day, the crowd was bustling with noise!
"The fallen heroes have returned!"
