The time goes back ten days.

The capital of Levender, the Platinum City.

The underground chamber of the palace.

Lafeng stood in the center of the summoning circle and once again contacted the mysterious omniscient being.

But as soon as the silver eyes behind the black mist appeared, an angry voice came out.

"Lafengge, you idiot!"

"You revealed my existence too early!"

Lafengge looked a little frustrated: "Great Omniscient One, I underestimated the magical power of Duke Weilan. He actually also mastered the power of phase."

He originally wanted to kill Duke Weilan as well, but his plan went wrong.

"You have no idea how serious this is. Even now, you still greatly underestimate him."

After a pause, the silver eyes spoke again.

"Let me tell you now, Duke Weilan possesses the magical power of the Tenth Ring, and his achievements in the field of magic are much higher than yours!"

"You, a fool, actually brought my power into his hands. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

Lafeng's face was full of shock, he really didn't know what this meant.

"Forget it. The most important thing now is to stop Duke Weilan's magic exchange conference and prevent him from further expanding his power. At the same time, we must also find new enemies for him."

"A new enemy?"

"That's right."

"Let Duke Weilan deal with other enemies, and stop focusing on you, a fool!"

Lafeng was angry, but after personally experiencing the great power of the Omniscient One, he perfectly concealed his dissatisfaction.

After all, he was the guardian sage of a country, and after a little thought he came up with an idea: "Aaron is a good enemy, and so is the Glorious Empire."

The silver eyes were satisfied.

"Yes, especially the Glorious Empire."

"If the Queen of the Glorious Empire knew that Duke Weilan possessed the magical power of the Ten Rings Peak, she would definitely find ways to stop him from further expanding his power."

"Also, don't expose my presence anymore. To avoid that, I will take back my omniscience from you."

As he said this, Lafengge felt his body tremble slightly, and strands of ice-blue light continued to flow out from his body, rushing into the black fog and disappearing.

After losing the power of omniscience, Lafengge's ice-blue eyes suddenly became much dimmer, but other than that, there were no major changes.

"I know you are feeling lost right now. Don't worry. I will continue to tell you how to break through the Nine Rings."

"Of course, compared to the Eight Rings, the Nine Rings are much more difficult. You will need to sacrifice more mortals, and you will also need to have more patience."

"Hmm~~This will probably take about a year."

Lafengge was immediately excited: "Great Omniscient One, I not only want the Nine Rings, I also want the power of the Ten Rings."

"I will surpass Duke Weilan and then trample him under my feet!"

"Good, very ambitious!"

Silver eyes praised: "But don't rush, take it one step at a time, we have plenty of time."

Weilan ten days later.

The secret basement of a medical laboratory.

Rosen was holding a thick stack of experimental records and flipping through them page by page.

It records a large amount of data from soul experiments, a total of more than seventy experiments.

Most of the experiments were designed by Rosen himself, and a small number were designed by experimental mages, and the experimental results did not disappoint Rosen.

As these experiments progressed, his understanding of the soul, life, and the magic circle made great progress.

But it’s still not enough.

After reading it, Wen Yan encouraged the experimental mages and then clapped his hands.

"Go on, go on."

"Next, we will start the two most important experiments."

“One is to verify the phenomenon of soul self-sustaining under low ring pressure.”

"The second is to verify the soul vortex phenomenon."

Where did the knowledge for these two experiments come from?

Of course, it was discovered from the demonic power. The unexpected acquisition of the demonic power allowed Rosen's understanding of the eleven magic rings to advance by several great steps!

The verification experiment is very difficult, extremely tedious and precise, and extremely expensive, costing 10,000 Augers for one experiment.

Naturally, it was led by Rosen, assisted by various experimental mages.

While he was conducting experiments, his clone continued to work diligently as the Grand Duke.

At this moment, the Grand Duke was holding his biweekly routine cabinet meeting in the Golden Hall of Swan Castle.

The cabinet ministers reported on their respective work one after another.

Rosen sat in the main seat somewhat lazily, with one hand supporting his cheek, as if he was about to doze off at the next moment.

But whenever the ministers thought he was not listening carefully and started to be perfunctory, he would be sanctioned immediately.

"Nolan, I've heard three critical data errors. Don't let me hear it a fourth time."

The voice was calm, but it made the bank president Nolan smile awkwardly and quickly collect his thoughts.

The reports were given one after another, with a break every hour and a half, and it lasted for a whole morning before it came to an end.

The ministers were all middle-aged, the youngest was thirty-five or thirty-six, and they all suffered from back pain.

After that, I had lunch with the Duke. The food was delicious, but there were not many dishes, and everyone had a standard dish.

Three dishes, one meat and two vegetable dishes, plus white bread as the staple food.

No one had any complaints because the Duke strictly followed the rules.

After the afternoon, it was another boring meeting.

The meeting finally ended after three o'clock in the afternoon, and then it was time for the ministers' favorite afternoon tea.

Afternoon tea is the biggest benefit of the biweekly meetings.

In the spacious, bright and comfortable tea room, there is an unlimited supply of excellent quality fragrant tea and exquisite snacks from all over the alliance.

The Duke would not stay tense all the time. He would chat and laugh with everyone casually, but he would not stay too long. He would leave after chatting for a few minutes.

As soon as the Duke left, the ministers completely relaxed.

"That's right. Not to mention the biweekly meetings, I also work very hard every day, from morning till night, without a single day off. If it were me, I would probably go crazy."

The speaker was Parliamentary Secretary Kruber.

As a government minister, he works from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays except during special periods, and has one and a half days off per week.

The Duke, however, works from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., all year round, like an iron man, which makes him both admire and be amazed.

Foreign Secretary Tewwood was eating rose shortbread.

It's not that he has never seen the world, but because this is a snack specially provided to the royal family of Kaa. It is hard to eat on ordinary days and it is particularly to his taste.

After finally eating to his heart's content, he spoke: "Yes, this is the most diligent Duke Weilan I have ever seen, even more diligent than the Saint Duchess."

He added in his mind: 'My eldest nephew is really lucky to have a good father.'

With such a diligent and capable father, it would be hard for Weilan not to become rich and powerful.

If Reid's father had this ability, Reid wouldn't have to go to a deserted island to grow potatoes.

After eating another piece of shortbread, he said, "What do you think about the Lion King's plan to hold a magic conference?"

The Minister of Finance was called Rabin, a senior wizard with a big black beard. He was lying on a big leather chair in the tea room, sipping a cup of fragrant tea lazily.

"In my opinion, the Lion King probably doesn't recognize his own situation."

Minister of Magic Wei Ge said in a slightly teasing tone: "That's right, he is not a magician, so how can he hold a magic exchange conference? It's more like a warrior conference."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers all laughed and did not take Aaron's magic exchange conference seriously at all.

After all, their Duke is a seven-ring master of magic, and the Lion King was defeated by the Duke. There is no comparison at all.

"I think there will be some mages who will attend the meeting. After all, the Lion King has to save face. They will definitely spend a lot of money and make a lot of noise."

"Master Aaron is still forbidden to go north to attend the meeting. I wonder how he feels now?"

"I heard that they have a lot of opinions about the Lion King, saying that he is a tyrannical, ignorant and reckless man, and that he hasn't taken a bath for many years and his brain is dirty."

The first sentence is okay, but the second one is a real humiliation. If you say it in front of the lion king, you will definitely get a knife in the neck.

As we chatted and laughed, the pleasant afternoon tea time flowed by like a clear stream in spring.

But some people are happy, while others are naturally lost.

The Lion King was of course disappointed, because ever since the ban was issued, he had clearly felt the tremendous pressure coming from Aaron's magic world.

Even Sanchester, who had always stood by him and supported him, remained silent this time.

He just couldn't figure it out. It was just a magic exchange conference, was it that serious? Duke Weilan was such a shrewd person, did he really think he would reveal the real thing?

Besides, Aaron and Weilan just fought a battle, lost, and paid a large sum of money. Could it be that these mages couldn’t see it?

How dare he join in the fun? Don't he have any sense of shame? Danger couldn't understand.

I couldn't figure it out, so I subconsciously went to find Sanchester.

"Sage, why is this?"

Sanchester did not give a direct answer. After being silent for many days, he finally gave a suggestion.

"Your Majesty, I think the date of Aaron's magic conference should be postponed."

"Let Duke Weilan do it first. When he's done, you can do it next. Hold a conference that's bigger and more influential than his."

"After all, Duke Weilan has already done it. Even if he is outdone, he won't be able to do it again in a short period of time. In the next few years, people will only remember the best one, right?"

This suggestion was very good, and Danger was immediately convinced: "The sage is right, so let's do as the sage says."

Danger was very happy. First, he got some good advice. Second, Sanchester paid attention to him again, which made him feel that he was no longer alone.

After returning to the study, he had just sat for a while when he found that Levender's new envoy, Sir Mara, wanted to visit him.

He was in a good mood and summoned the other party immediately.

"What is it, Sir Mara?"

Sir Mara saluted respectfully and then presented a plan: "Your Majesty, this is the letter from His Majesty Sheila to you."

Dange took it and looked at it carefully, his eyes lighting up.

"Ahaha~~This is a really great idea."

He turned to look at Sir Mara and said, "I was wondering why the price of grain in the international market was rising so fast. So this is what's going on."

“Go and tell Silla that I am very satisfied with his plan and will do my best to cooperate with him. Give the Duke a severe lesson and let him know that he has offended the wrong person!”

Sir Mara bowed slightly: "I am glad to reach the same consensus with your majesty."

"In addition, we hope that His Majesty can persuade the khal to join the plan, so as to greatly suppress the arrogance of Duke Weilan."

Dange sighed, "Forget about Kao. The old King Kao doesn't manage things, and it's always been the Queen who has been in power."

"The queen is very kind to Weilan. It's almost like she's planning to make the duke her son-in-law."

Sir Mara smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a big deal. If the Queen can't convince you, you can still seek cooperation from the Sixth Princess and the Third Prince."

"After all, these two are very rich. If they take out a few million Oggs, it would be enough to increase the international grain price by a large margin."

“Will they listen?”

"Of course, after all, it's a profitable business, isn't it?"

Danger nodded in agreement: "That's not bad, let's do it."

Glorious Empire.

An important piece of information entered the Central Secretariat and within a quarter of an hour it went directly to the Queen's study and was placed on the desk.

The queen opened it and frowned. She immediately asked her assistant maid, "Where did the news come from?"

"Levinder, your majesty."

"Levinder is so far away from Weilan, how could he know about Weilan? Is this nonsense?"

The assistant maid shook her head: "Your Majesty, I don't know about that. I will check it out right away."

"Investigate! Make sure to investigate thoroughly!"

"Go to Leventcha!"

“Go to Vilancha too!”

"Notify Irene and ask her to find a way to get the Duke's blood. If blood is not available, other things will do."

The empress had a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows. When she was relaxed, they were willow-shaped eyebrows, and when she was focused, they were heroic sword-shaped eyebrows. At this moment, the pair of eyebrows became two sharp swords pointing obliquely to the sky.

Just as an undercurrent against Weilan was surging from all sides of the continent, in a secret basement in Swan Castle, a place specially designed for phase conversion, the air began to distort.

After a few seconds, the plane-traveling mage Medina, who had been gone for more than two months, reappeared.
