With the fairies gone, various races began to flourish, and even a race that made Maggie's heart tremble appeared: the succubus.
Strictly speaking, succubi should be classified as demons, but they only lust after human desires and do not pose much of a threat. This makes the survival of succubi quite unique, and some humans even like their existence.
At the same time, succubi were also a major target of slavery.
Maggie watched the entire process as the succubus's opponent was seduced by her and surrendered immediately, allowing the succubus to win without bloodshed.
"...."
Without a doubt, this succubus was also the work of the Silver Wheel.
"Ahem, Your Highness, this..."
Burvin looked somewhat embarrassed, clearly not expecting such a bold demon to dare to appear in the territory of Santa Fe City and even to openly participate in the magic competition.
"The demon's talent is truly remarkable, it's enviable."
Maggie, however, had no discriminatory thoughts whatsoever. Her tone carried a hint of admiration. Most demons wielded demonic power, not one of the seven elements. However, this succubus had clearly been on the continent of Coral for too long, and had actually managed to achieve elemental resonance.
It's important to know that most humans are born with the ability to resonate with the elements, and the possibility of acquiring such talents later in life is extremely low.
It's clear that this succubus has put a lot of effort into surviving in human society.
"You...don't mind?"
Surprise flashed in Burvin's eyes. Logically speaking, the Holy Maiden of Light should naturally hate and despise demons.
"I don't mind."
Maggie shook her head. If she had to say, she was still linked to a demon leader who had succubus blood, so the idea that she hated him was completely absurd.
"Your Highness, you are truly unexpectedly enlightened..."
Burvin scratched his head, seemingly ashamed of misunderstanding Maggie.
After chatting for a while, Burvin tentatively asked a question.
"Hmm... Your Highness, do you still remember the spell formula you traded with the Star Sage?"
As he finished speaking, Maggie's fingers twitched almost imperceptibly for a moment. After waiting for so long, acting as a chat companion and a Baidu Encyclopedia user, the fish had finally taken the bait.
"Of course I remember, what's wrong?"
Maggie said nonchalantly, without taking her eyes off the dueling arena.
"Oh, the tower didn't mean anything by it, it's just that if Your Highness has other formulas in your possession, could you...?"
Burvin seemed to find the suggestion impolite, his cheeks growing redder and redder until his voice became barely audible, barely audible unless you listened carefully.
"The tower will offer Your Highness a reward that satisfies you!"
With a death-defying air, Burvin closed his eyes, amplified his voice, and his voice trembled slightly.
It would obviously make him feel very guilty to reveal that he approached this matter with a purpose. Such a cultured and upright character is very rare in the Tower.
But he also possesses an almost naive cruelty, because his integrity and kindness seem to be directed only at humans; other races can be used as experimental subjects.
"It's nothing, and I certainly won't be stingy if the tower needs it."
Maggie slightly curled the corners of her lips, her tone revealing neither longing nor impatience, as if she were casually discussing the matter, yet she displayed utmost generosity, leaving no room for criticism.
"Phew, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Burvin breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to complete the task of delivering the tower, which made him feel much more relaxed.
"What's wrong? Has Gaota encountered any academic difficulties lately?"
Maggie asked casually.
"Hmm... Moon Sage... she..."
Just as Burvin was about to speak, his expression turned somewhat hesitant, as if he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Maggie understood immediately. She had heard some time ago that a tattered ancient scroll had been auctioned at the Tower, and it was said to contain a magical technique that was suspected to be a miracle.
It seems it has been handed over to the Moon Sage.
In the comics, the Moon Sage's strength has reached the peak of the Archmage level, and he is only one step away from becoming a god, but he is stuck at the Archmage level and has not made any progress.
Now, her lifespan has reached the limit of human life, and she will probably turn into a handful of dust in less than two years.
So eager to find information about miracles, and even targeting her as a mere figurehead saint, it seems they really can't wait any longer.
A high-level spell formula, which she used to analyze the effects of the ancient scroll, was ridiculously powerful.
"It was my fault for being so talkative and asking something I shouldn't have. Please don't take offense, Chief."
Maggie's mind raced, but she remained outwardly calm, pretending that she had just made a casual remark and seemed completely unconcerned about the situation inside the tower.
"No, no, no, it's not a secret. It's just that the Moon Sage has a rather bad temper."
Burvin looked troubled.
His teacher was the Star Sage, but being in the tower, he had to obey all the sages. If it weren't for the vested interests involved, he probably wouldn't want to take on such a task that would strain his personal relationships.
"It's okay, it's my fault."
Maggie said understandingly, "It seems that Burvin has a high opinion of her, even daring to say such things to her. Maybe we can take advantage of him."
"Actually, the level of the spell formulas I have may not be as high as the Moon Sage imagined, but there are only two Sun-level ones."
Her casual remark of "however" sounded insignificant, yet it caused Burvin's pupils to dilate in shock.
It should be noted that the Green Tower only possessed eight spell formulas in total, yet Maggie claimed to have two, which was enough to shock him beyond words.
"this...."
Then, Burvin showed some concern, perhaps worried about the overlap in formulas.
"I obtained it in a special space, and I can almost guarantee that what I have will not overlap with what yours has."
Maggie spoke with certainty.
"Ah, I didn't mean to doubt you, I just... um... for two Sun-level spell formulas, the Tower might need to offer some very precious treasures in exchange, so we should consult the Sage."
Burvin waved his hand hastily, denying Maggie's guess, and then added somewhat embarrassedly.
"Perhaps I don't need very precious treasures. Shouldn't knowledge be used to exchange for knowledge?"
Maggie winked at Burvin, her tone ambiguous and suggestive.
"Really?! The Tower has no shortage of knowledge. Ask the Tower any questions you may have!"
Burvin's face lit up with surprise. Knowledge was indeed invaluable and could be exchanged for great wealth, but wealth and treasures could not be obtained overnight.
If Maggie is willing to make an equal exchange, that would be wonderful.
