Glorious Empire, Metasilin City.

A very distinguished and special guest came to the Never-Night Palace.

The person who came possessed the mana of the peak ten rings. In terms of strength, he was on par with the Lord of Light, and in terms of total mana, he was even stronger than the Lord of Light.

As soon as the guests arrived, they were welcomed into the Shadowless Palace, the core of the Never-Night Palace, which is the palace of the Lord of Light.

The current world situation is changing extremely rapidly. The Lord of Light knows that he will be awake for less than fifty years, but he dare not fall asleep easily.

Now that the distinguished guest has arrived, of course he will receive him personally.

In the garden pavilion of the Shadowless Palace, two mages at the peak of the Tenth Ring level sat opposite each other.

A man with silver hair and beard, simple face and tall stature, just like a vigorous and upright pine or cypress.

This person is none other than the Lord of Light, Master Misai.

The other person had dark red hair and dark red eyes, but he was Master Yastin, a member of the Nahuat High Ring Council.

For the past two hundred years, he has been in charge of liaison with the Glorious Empire.

What was unusual was that in the past it was the Lord of Light who visited Yasdin in Nahuat, but Yasdin rarely returned the visit.

Lord of Light Misai gently poured a cup of golden fire wine that he had treasured for five hundred years for Yastin. After the smooth wine filled up more than half of the cup, he smiled and said, "Master Yastin, what is the matter that requires you to come here in person?"

Yastin took a sip of his wine and said, "Of course it's a good thing."

As he spoke, he took out a box and placed it in front of the Lord of Light: "Take a look."

The Lord of Light opened the box and saw a round stone the size of a palm inside. It looked translucent and had some faint flaws inside.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary stone.

"What is this?"

He took it out, looked at it over and over again, and tried to inject magic power into it, but found nothing.

Yastin smiled slightly: "Master Misai, this is a legendary crystal."

"ah?"

The Lord of Light's hand trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the round stone.

Any ten-ring wizard yearns for legendary power, so he is very sensitive to the word "legend".

Yastin said: "This stone can store a large amount of legendary mana, and has a legendary +2 focusing effect."

"Using this crystal, along with some secret techniques, will allow you to possess legendary powers."

The Lord of Light had been pondering on how to advance to the legendary level for many years, so when he heard Yastin's words, he immediately knew that the other party's method was feasible.

Even this legendary crystal is particularly suitable for him.

Because the total number of the Glorious Nations is more than 900 million, of which more than 80% are Glorious believers. Although the power of their faith is much weaker than that of Nawat, it is still not small.

Then, as long as he uses the secret method of burning souls to reach the legendary realm, and then uses this crystal as a reservoir of legendary power, and then borrows the power of faith as a supplement, he can easily maintain the existence of the legendary soul.

And now that he has lived to this age, he has a very deep understanding of the legendary power and is not lacking in various legendary secrets.

He even used the Soul Burning Secret Technique to reach the legendary realm, but because it was not practical, he had to choose to retreat.

But now, the problem has been solved.

He looked at the round crystal, his face filled with genuine joy: "This is really a good thing!"

Can't wait to try it out.

Master Yasdin smiled slightly and said, "Master Misai, guess how did we Nawat get this crystal?"

"Oh? Is there any other interesting story?"

Yastin pointed to the northeast and said with a smile: "This legendary crystal was sent by Duke Weilan. It was almost given for free."

"Duke Weilan? For free? What does that mean?"

The Lord of Light felt that he did not quite understand what was being said, but he also felt that there was some very shocking information hidden in it.

Justin did not hide anything and told the story in detail about how Duke Veran visited Nawat, helped exorcise demons, gave him an alchemy manual, but ran away without getting paid.

Finally, he smiled and said, "We originally planned to copy the books from our collection to him as a reward, but he ran away in a panic and didn't ask for the books later, so we naturally gave up."

"Tell me, is this a free gift?"

The Lord of Light frowned upon hearing this: "Duke Weilan is actually a legendary wizard? He hid it so deeply?"

Yastin shrugged. "He is indeed a genius. It is natural for such a person to be more secretive."

"According to the wishes of our guardian wizard, we support the Glorious Empire's annexation of the Natural Alliance. This legendary crystal is part of our sincerity."

“There will be more support to come.”

"But, no matter what, please spare Duke Weilan's life, because we hope he can join Nawat and help us fight the demons."

The Lord of Light had a gloomy expression and stared at the legendary crystal without saying a word.

Yastin did not urge him, because he knew that it would be difficult for the other party to accept it, but he would definitely accept it in the end because he had no better choice.

Sure enough, the Lord of Light spoke: "I agree."

"But I have something to say."

He took a sip of wine and said, "You don't know Duke Weilan. You think he is giving you good things for free. But I want to tell you that this young duke never panics."

Yastin was stunned: "So?"

"So, he must have received sufficient compensation from you Nahuat. As for what kind of compensation, I don't know."

"Besides, even with the help of this legendary crystal, I may not be able to annex the Natural Alliance, nor am I sure I can defeat Duke Weilan, so I may not be able to force him to join Nawat."

Yastin frowned: "Can't do it?"

The Lord of Glory shook his head: "I just can't say it's 100% successful. After all, Duke Weilan is an extraordinary person."

He finished his drink and pointed at the legendary crystal: "We will synthesize this thing. This one is free, but if you need more, contact us and exchange it for the results of your magic."

The Lord of Glory said simply, "Then I'll change for three more."

"No problem, but it will take ten days before I can give it to you. After all, our production capacity is limited."

At this point, the business is almost over.

Yastin turned around and looked at the Shadowless Palace of the Lord of Light, and said with emotion: "Master Misai, I haven't seen you for decades. Your palace has become more and more magnificent~"

The Lord of Glory could of course hear the subconscious meaning of these words and laughed: "Although the palace has changed a bit, I am still as sincere as ever to my old friends."

"Master Yastin's favorite Happy Palace has always existed."

"If you are still interested, I will have someone take you there to have some fun."

Yastin showed an excitement that was hard to hide on his face, and nodded slightly: "Anyway, I won't be able to go back for more than ten days, so I'll trouble Master Misai."

The Lord of Light waved to the servant beside him and whispered a few words to him, and the servant left with Master Justin.

After waiting until Yastin disappeared from sight, the Lord of Light's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed through his heart.

"Good Duke Weilan, he hides himself so well!"

He closed his eyes and silently contacted his granddaughter Zhuoya, who was in charge of government affairs in the outer palace.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Queen of the Glorious Empire hurried to the Shadowless Palace.

"grandfather!"

The queen hurried so fast that her hair was a little messy, her clothes were untidy, and her breathing was a little rapid, but her expression was very solemn.

The Lord of Glory nodded and said, "I just received news that Duke Weilan has been promoted to Legend."

The queen felt her legs go weak and she felt like she couldn't stand. "Is this news reliable?"

"It's not certain yet, but no matter what, Duke Weilan cannot be kept."

The Queen was slightly surprised: "What does Grandfather mean?"

"Four things."

"First, send more troops to the Giant Fortress immediately and put pressure on the Natural Alliance on the ground to force Aaron and Kao to pay attention to the Giant Fortress."

"Second, at least two main fleets will sail eastward from the Storm Ocean and head for the Gilded Strait. Another main fleet will bypass Levender and enter the Golden Ocean to attract the attention of the navies of the Natural Alliance countries at sea."

"Third, detonate the pawns deployed south of Levender to cause Levender to fall into civil strife."

"Fourth, when everyone's attention is focused on the front battlefield, the Sky Shadow Guard will take advantage of the situation and attack Levender Swan Castle to kill Duke Weilan!"

After saying this, the Lord of Glory suddenly noticed a hint of hesitation on his granddaughter's face, and his brows furrowed immediately: "Are there any difficulties?"

The queen nodded, a hint of embarrassment showing on her face.

"Grandfather, most of the Empire's forces are fighting against the Holy Elf Empire. I'm afraid that in the short term, there won't be enough forces to fight the Natural Alliance."

The Holy Elf Empire is an opponent of the same level as the Glorious Empire, and may even be stronger.

In contrast, the loose Natural Alliance was not taken seriously by the Glorious Empire, and the Empire's main forces had been fighting against the Holy Elf Empire on the Western Front.

Although Duke Weilan has been rather agitated recently, after repeated investigations, it was confirmed that he posed no threat.

Unexpectedly, a legendary wizard suddenly appeared! Zhuo Ya did not expect it, she really did not expect it, and she even couldn't believe it.

The Lord of Light has not personally governed the country for many years, but he certainly knows the current situation on the continent, so when he heard his granddaughter's words, he knew that the empire would not be able to fully suppress the Natural Alliance for at least a year.

After all, the empire is made up of countless people, and the warships, troops, and various military supplies that have been sent to the western front cannot be transferred back to the eastern front overnight.

Many of the plans that have already been started are already more than halfway through and cannot be abandoned halfway.

In addition, it is also a very difficult operation to transfer troops back without attracting excessive attention from the Natural Alliance, while also having to guard against the counterattack of the Holy Elf Empire.

A country is like a ship.

The ship is naturally majestic, but its turning speed is inevitably slower.

After a long silence, the Lord of Light sighed and talked about the second plan.

"Expand the size of the Sky Shadow Guards with all our strength. We will double the size of the Sky Shadow Guards within a year. Then, we will launch a feint attack on the Giant Fortress to attract attention. The Sky Shadow Guards will then go to Weilan to behead them."

Queen Zhuoya was a little unsure: "Grandfather, Duke Weilan is a legendary wizard, can he succeed in the sneak attack?"

He was afraid that the sneak attack would fail and instead completely anger Duke Vilan, which would be troublesome. After all, there was no legendary wizard in the Glorious Empire.

The Lord of Light smiled coldly: "That's why I asked you to wait for a year. In a year, I will gain legendary power, and I will definitely be much stronger than Duke Weilan!"

He lived for more than three thousand years and was awake for more than six hundred years.

During the time he was sleeping, the Glorious Kingdoms had been developing, and his descendants and believers had been following his orders and collecting legendary knowledge everywhere.

He was confident that in terms of his mastery of legendary knowledge, he far surpassed Duke Weilan.

Now that he has obtained such a legendary gem, perhaps his strength in a head-on battle may be inferior to that of the opponent. After all, he is old.

But when it comes to the application of legendary power, he definitely has the upper hand.

That’s not the point.

The point is, he wouldn't be satisfied with just such a legendary gem.

After Yastin delivers the new gemstone, it will be handed over to the Empire's Alchemy Department for research and synthesis. Once the synthesis method is discovered, the Empire's huge production capacity advantage can be brought into play, and the Empire will be able to completely crush the legendary power.

Queen Zoya heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her grandfather could also master legendary power.

"Grandfather, I will make preparations now. I guarantee that in one year, the size of the Sky Shadow Guard will be expanded at least four times, and it will be equipped with a variety of powerful battlefield weapons."

"Well, you are really my good granddaughter. Go and get ready."
