In a blink of an eye, more than three months have passed since Duke Weilan announced his identity as a legendary wizard.

Medasilin City.

For some reason, the Lord of Light, Misai, always felt something was wrong recently, as if there was a faint dark cloud covering his heart.

This is the unique premonition of danger possessed by powerful mages, and the more powerful they are, the more sensitive they are.

As a Lord of Light who has lived for more than three thousand years and experienced many crises, he naturally dare not underestimate them in the slightest.

He sent out shadow guards to carefully eliminate every potential danger in the palace, paying special attention to the actions of his granddaughter Zhuoya.

But the results showed that Zhuoya's life trajectory was exactly the same as in the past, and she had been conscientiously handling government affairs.

Misai was still worried, so he used the legendary eye to observe carefully.

After observing for several days, nothing unusual was found.

"It seems that the danger does not come from Zhuoya, so where does it come from?"

When there are no clues, every wizard will use a spell similar to comfort, that is, fate divination.

Messiah performed divination again and again.

The results all show that he will most likely encounter a strong enemy.

But where is the powerful enemy? What is his identity? We still don't know.

This made the dark clouds in his heart even thicker, so he began to practice desperately, hoping to gain more powerful strength.

But human energy is limited, and the body's ability to endure is also limited. No matter how much practice one does, the speed of improvement is still very slow.

Half a year has passed since Misai was promoted to Legend, and his Legend level is only 1.8.

On this day, when Misai was once again approaching the limit of his practice, he suddenly felt an abnormal fluctuation in the nearby magic circle.

It is very powerful and can only be caused by legendary mana, and it is not far away.

"Is it a legendary wizard invading?"

Misai was shocked and immediately wanted to investigate carefully.

Before I could take any action, a voice that was so familiar to me rang in my mind.

"Misai, you old bastard, do you still remember who I am?"

Misai felt like his whole body was shaken.

How could he not remember this voice? He had been dealing with the owner of this voice for nearly three thousand years, and he had no idea how many good things the other person had ruined, and he also had no idea how many good things he had ruined for the other person.

Once, he took advantage of the opponent's battle with the Iron Dragon and launched a sneak attack, and almost killed him, but this guy actually managed to come back to life.

This old guy's life is tougher than that of a rat in the sewer.

Although I was shocked, I had to keep my face.

"Gunther, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be still alive!"

When saying this, Misai felt a sense of relief.

"I was wondering what was going on recently? It turns out that this old guy is causing trouble for me!"

As he understood the source of the dark clouds, he gritted his teeth secretly: "This old guy has also been promoted to Legendary. Now he can't die again."

After a little thought, he knew why the other party was promoted to a legendary level. It must be Duke Weilan's doing.

The voice of my old rival came to my mind again: "I am outside your turtle shell now, do you dare to come out and see me?"

After saying that, he immediately added: "I bet you, a coward, don't dare, so I plan to take a good walk around your city, preach a little, and perform some miracles."

"I will let these mortals know that the Lord of Light they believe in is a coward. He allowed his old rival to preach in his city and dared not show his head. Hehe!"

The opponent did not hide anything, and through the legendary wizard's unique void perspective, Misai could "see" the opponent's position.

It was indeed just outside the palace wall of the Never-Night Palace, and the straight-line distance from him was no more than three kilometers.

What shocked him even more was that this old guy's legendary level was actually higher than his.

Not much taller, but taller than him.

A flame composed of 'anger, jealousy, and shock' rushed straight to Misai's head, so much so that his hair almost stood up.

If it were anyone else, he would not lose his composure like this, but not this old rival.

The grudge between the two of them is really too deep.

He remembered that 2,800 years ago, this old guy stole the woman he once loved most. Not only did he snatch her away, but he also held ceremonies every year to show off his love for her, and he did so for a full hundred years!

During those hundred years, he felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly every year, until he found an opportunity to catch that woman and tortured her to death in front of the old man, then he felt a little relieved.

But he did not lose his mind: "Otargunther, you are looking for death!"

As he spoke, he sent a message to the leader of the First Shadow Guard Regiment: "Send out 1,000 men with the best equipment to capture the man for me."

Although the legend is powerful, it is only limited to single combat.

In a head-on confrontation, 1,000 shadow guards equipped with high-powered rapid-fire muskets are enough to easily kill the enemy.

"I'll point him out anytime!"

"Yes, Master."

Immediately, 1,000 elite shadow guards left the Never-Night Palace.

Otargunther's voice once again rang in the Lord of Light's mind.

"Misa, after all these years, you still haven't changed your habit of being a coward. It's such a pity."

"Since you don't dare to come, I will go to nearby Nagsilin and have some fun with your hounds."

"Believe me, I will kill them all."

As he spoke, Misai saw the other party moving away quickly, much faster than the Shadow Guard warrior.

Nagsilin is about 200 kilometers away from Meidasilin. It is the largest port city in the Glorious Empire and the largest outlet to the Storm Ocean.

The key point is that 200 kilometers is too far away, far beyond his legendary vision, and naturally he cannot guide the actions of the Shadow Guard.

Without his guidance, the Shadow Guards were blind.

As long as the other party has enough patience, they can indeed cause great trouble to the Shadow Guard Corps, or even wipe it out completely.

Of course he could leave the palace and chase all the way to Nagsilin, but the Natural Alliance had more than one legendary wizard.

If Duke Weilan ambushed and attacked him halfway, he would most likely be doomed.

Therefore, he could never leave the palace.

But if he doesn't leave the palace, he won't be able to stop Otargunther from wreaking havoc or even preaching in other cities of the empire.

Although it was impossible for the other party to cause major damage to the empire with his own strength, Misai felt upset when he thought of this old guy making trouble in his own country.

I really want to catch this old guy and skin him alive!

For the first time, the Lord of Light truly felt that he needed a helper with legendary power.

But such a legendary strong man would never be willing to work for him, and with his current legendary magic power, he could not control the other party.

Although he was upset, he naturally would not forget to fight back.

"Gunther, I never thought that an old man like you would degenerate into a thug for a kid like Duke Weilan."

"Misa, that's a child, but he's also my grandson-in-law."

"He also spent a lot of effort to help me advance to Legendary status, allowing me to live for more than a hundred years. As an elder, it is my duty to do something for the children."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that my granddaughter Zigrellana is also a ninth-ring mage. In the future, she will be promoted to the tenth ring and even become a legend. She will be better than your granddaughter."

The Lord of Light became more and more annoyed as he listened, and saw that the fluctuations of Otargunther's magic power were getting farther and farther away and were about to leave his perception range.

He became more and more annoyed. "Hmph~ Gunther, that kid is the descendant of the Iron Dragon. Are you really willing to give him the alliance you fought for?"

"Besides, he is my granddaughter's husband, so at least half of the Natural Alliance is still mine."

"But you are still the same as before. You are so old now, and the younger generations have grown up, but you still want to take all the good things. I bet you will die a miserable death in the end!"

Misai didn't listen to these words at all. He was only thinking about how to sow discord.

"That kid's words are not credible at all. His ambitions are much greater than yours and mine. Your natural alliance is just a stepping stone for him to climb up."

"Once he completely controls the Natural Alliance, he will definitely kick you out!"

Otargunther laughed loudly: "Misai, stop provoking me. I know all the evil ideas you have in mind!"

"Okay, I'm going to Nagxilin to preach, and not just Nagxilin. I'll go to every big city, hahahaha~~"

As he spoke, Otargunther left the limit of the Lord of Light's perception.

Looking at its direction, it is indeed the direction of Nagxilin.

But he was free to go to any major city in the empire.

When Misai thought that his thousand-year-old rival would continue to cause trouble in his country in the coming period, he felt as sick as if he had swallowed a fly.

Of course, he is not completely helpless.

"L'Hôpital's Eye! Yes, I must speed up the construction of L'Hôpital's Eye and then distribute it to various parts of the empire to reduce the space for this old thing to move around!"

The Eye of L'Hôpital is a legendary detection device he obtained in his early years.

A single magic weapon is not very useful, but if it is aided by a legendary crystal, it can allow an ordinary mage to have partial legendary vision.

Although that perception was not as precise as his, it was enough to sense the approximate location of the legendary wizard.

The most frightening thing about the legendary wizard is his powerful hiding ability. Once he can no longer hide, the threat he poses is greatly reduced.

As for the legendary crystal, the Glorious Empire has also found a method to synthesize it, although the cost is very high and the quality of the final product is far inferior to the crystal given by Nawat.

But it can be used after all.

Thinking of this, the Lord of Light immediately contacted his granddaughter Zhuoya: "Come to my place, right away."

A quarter of an hour later, granddaughter Zhuoya arrived, as fast as ever.

The Lord of Glory handed over a book on refining equipment: "Give this to the Refining Department and have them start large-scale mass production as soon as possible."

Zhuoya nodded respectfully as always: "Yes, Grandfather, I will mass produce it as soon as possible."

She took the weapon refining book and prepared to leave.

"By the way, the synthesis of legendary crystals needs to be accelerated. There are too few finished products now. The quantity should be as large as possible, the more the better!"

"Yes, Grandfather. We are already trying our best to expand production capacity and improve the synthesis quality."

"It is expected that in another year, the output will be able to increase to ten kilograms a day."

"very good."

The Lord of Light suddenly had an idea in his mind: 'Perhaps I should let this granddaughter become my helper.'

But the thought flashed for a moment and then disappeared.

This granddaughter is very capable and currently controls most of the empire's political affairs. If she becomes a legendary wizard, I will definitely not be able to suppress her.

"Grandfather, is there anything else?"

"It's nothing, go ahead."

After Zhuoya left, the Lord of Light suddenly felt a little worried.

"There are still too few high-level mages in the empire. Zhuoya is the only one who has the potential to be promoted to a legendary master in a short period of time."

The bad news is that the Natural Alliance now has two legendary mages, which has put him in an extremely passive situation. In addition, the opponent will definitely have more and more legendary mages in the future.

The good news is that in the short term, the Natural Alliance should not see the emergence of a third legendary mage.

The number of high-level mages in the Natural Alliance is also limited, and you can’t reach the legendary realm just because you want to.

Even if a legendary wizard can upgrade a person to the tenth ring, there is still a huge threshold from the tenth ring to the legendary level. If one does not have enough talent, one will be stuck at the tenth ring forever.

But two against one made Misai feel very passive.

"What shall we do?"

After thinking about it, the Lord of Light actually thought of a solution: "Maybe, I can go to Nawat to find help!"

There are many ten-ring mages in Nawat, and at least forty or fifty of them have the talent to be promoted to legend.

Spend some money to hire two or three of them, use legendary crystals to help them become legendary, and they will become your perfect thugs.

Because these Nawat wizards are visitors from other dimensions and have no roots in the Wit Continent, there is no need to worry about them threatening his position.

Moreover, they can implement rotational employment to prevent them from staying in the Wit Continent for too long and building up a foundation.

The most important thing is that each of the Nahuatl wizards has never seen the world. If they are given a little luxury, they will be confused and lose their way.

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

All the worries in the Lord of Light's heart disappeared, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The other side.

Queen Zoya heaved a sigh of relief when she returned to her palace.

"Fortunately, I have the help of the Godly Father, otherwise I would have been discovered by my grandfather just now."

Just now, she successfully broke through to the eleventh magic ring, was promoted to legendary, and obtained legendary 1.2 mana.

Based on her understanding of her grandfather, if she was discovered, he would kill her without mercy.

But since no one discovered it, the victory basically belongs to her.

After calming down, Zhuo Ya secretly touched the legendary magic weapon hidden inside her dress.

There are two magical weapons, both sent by Duke Weilan, and they are carefully locked with magic locks.

It can only be used, difficult to imitate.

But it’s really powerful.

One of them, called the Void Ring by the Duke, can quickly and silently absorb magic power from the eleven rings.

A top-grade legendary crystal that can store more than 80 times the mana.

The effect of the Void Ring is amazing, but unfortunately it is a consumable and will break after absorbing 500 times the mana.

What shocked Zhuoya the most was the legendary crystal.

"The Duke is worthy of being the inventor of the legendary crystal. The quality of this crystal is so high that it doesn't seem real."

For legendary crystals of the same size, the mana capacity of the Weilan Crystal is twenty times that of the Imperial Crystal. It can even perform legendary focus on mana, gaining a +2 legendary effect.

With the assistance of these two powerful magic weapons, even if she does not have the supplement of her grandfather's power of faith, it is enough to far surpass her grandfather in legendary power.

The only difference is probably the understanding of legendary power.

This is her disadvantage, but it's not a big problem.

"In the Never-Night Palace, I am hiding in the dark while my grandfather is in the light. Now is the best time for me to seize power."

Zhuoya has always been a decisive person and will never hesitate once she makes a decision.

At this moment, she has successfully been promoted to Legend, and has essentially completely broken with her grandfather, with no room for retreat.

So, just move forward!
