Chapter 213 Astrid
Chapter 213
After confirming the loyalty of the three third-level wizards Helen, Mona and Bodo.
Lin En gave orders without hesitation, giving the three people full responsibility for sorting out and integrating all the supernatural forces in the Kingdom of Eluria.
However, the original name "Spirit Eye Furnace" can no longer be used.
After all, the Spirit Eye Wizard had been jointly marked by the Wizard Council and the "Furnace Stone" and had long been a wanted target.
Under such circumstances, continuing to use the old name would undoubtedly be a dead end.
Therefore, Lin En made a prompt decision and gave the new organization a new name, the Hall of Life.
A force that sounds unfamiliar and has just been established, but its foundation is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The Red Lotus Party, the Sea Heart Palace, the Silver Moon Castle... These extraordinary organizations that were originally independent of each other and had solid foundations were all incorporated into Lin En's strong integration and became the core components of the Hall of Life.
As a result, this newborn Temple of Life rose from obscurity to become the most powerful supernatural force in the entire Kingdom of Eluria almost overnight.
Its momentum is no less than that of the "Spirit Eyes Furnace" back then.
The only difference is that the Soul Eye Furnace once had enough power to influence the situation in the surrounding countries, while the Temple of Life controlled by Lin En has not yet stepped out of the borders of this kingdom.
But it's only a matter of time.
While the three third-level wizards were busy reshaping his power empire and expanding the Palace of Life for him, Lin En himself always lived in seclusion in the core of the imperial capital, the imperial palace.
The imperial capital, deep inside the palace.
To ordinary people, the imperial palace is the pinnacle of power and a symbol of nobility.
However, in Lynn's eyes, it was just a slightly gorgeous back garden.
His Majesty the Emperor, who originally occupied the supreme position, had long been expelled by his order and squeezed into the most remote corner of the palace.
As for those mortal knights, guards, maids, etc., they were all dismissed without leaving a single one.
Today, the imperial palace, although still magnificent and paved with gold and jade, is already empty.
And in this empty symbol of power, only two people were left.
One is Lynn himself.
The other is the gorgeous Queen.
However, the queen, who was once extremely noble, is now filled with fear.
She didn't know what this powerful wizard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere was intending to do, so she could only be cautious and keep silent.
In the west wing of the palace, in an extremely luxurious golden hall.
The long table was spread out, filled with pearls and jade, and the lights were bright.
Lin En sat in the main seat with a calm demeanor. There was no sense of incongruity sitting here. He exuded even more supreme dominance of an emperor than that emperor.
Standing on his left and right were two completely different but equally stunning figures.
On the left, the woman in the white dress tightly wrapped around her body, outlining her enchanting curves, is his personal maid, Bephany.
She has a gentle look in her eyes and a smile on her lips, following you like a shadow.
On the right, a lady in a black dress as dark as the night, with long flowing hair and cold and captivating purple eyes, is none other than the princess of this kingdom, Astrid.
Lin En looked at Astrid's face, which was still as cold as a machine, his eyes narrowed slightly, and some thoughts emerged in his mind.
He already knew everything from the memories of the Spirit Eye Wizard.
This powerful wizard who once ruled the entire Kingdom of Eluria relied on the queen, his concubine whom he personally trained and who was also Astrid's biological mother.
With the prestige of the Queen, Lingmou was able to control the center of the empire and maintain the balance of all power.
Now, the real master of the kingdom has changed.
Lynn took over the position.
And he also knew that he would have to stay here for a long time in the future.
This kingdom will become an important source of resources for him, supporting him in embarking on the long and arduous Road to the Morning Star.
Therefore, a sufficiently reliable agent must be arranged to manage the Kingdom of Eluria.
This person must be loyal and controllable, and also have enough "legitimacy" to convince the kingdom's nobles, thereby stabilizing the situation and avoiding unnecessary turmoil.
"Should we continue to use Lingmou's identity to control the queen..."
Lynn tasted the food on her plate while weighing the pros and cons.
The thought only lasted for a few breaths before he rejected it himself.
He was suspicious by nature and would never trust a woman as easily as Lingmou.
What's more, the queen's loyalty was based on Lingmou's use of "forbidden techniques" to tamper with her consciousness. Lin En could not accept this uncertainty.
"perhaps……"
His eyes moved slightly, and suddenly fell on Estri's delicate face, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
He already knew clearly about the complicated relationship between Astrid, the Spirit Eye Wizard and the Queen.
He even obtained the mysterious witchcraft that was considered forbidden by the "Furnace Stone" from Lingmou's memory.
The idea gradually took shape.
"Since I can't trust others to do it, why not... let me do it myself?"
Lin En's eyes were deep, and he had a plan in mind.
Although Lynn's plans for his future are not yet detailed, they already have a clear outline.
One of the links is the treasure related to the spirit godhead of the blue sky.
He has tasted the sweetness of the power of faith, and he is also clearly aware that after leaving his original plane world, it will become extremely difficult to rely on naturally generated faith.
Because of this, Lin En has already made a grand plan: he wants to "create" the power of faith by himself! Of course, not in the wizarding world. In this world that hates gods, trying to become a god is tantamount to digging your own grave.
His goal is a pristine world in the endless plane that has not yet been touched by higher-level forces.
There, Lynn will cast his own "avatar" and establish a belief system.
Harvest the power of faith, and then with the help of the power of the "Spirit of the Blue Sky", feed back the spiritual power and divine construction of the main body.
Although this step can only be carried out after he truly steps into the realm of Morning Star Wizard.
But before that, it would be the most appropriate preparation to breed a "divine clone" in advance and polish the container that carries the will.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, it is nothing more than this.
Moreover, this clone can also serve as the ruler of his kingdom.
"Adapting to the integration of politics and religion in advance?"
Lynn smiled gently, but his eyes were always fixed on Astrid, deep as the abyss, with a bit of scrutiny.
There was no way he could choose Her Majesty the Queen.
Although she has an outstanding appearance and can be regarded as the most beautiful among mortals, she is, after all, the exclusive concubine of the Spirit Eye Wizard.
Lynn had no interest in things that had been "used by others", no matter how perfect they were.
Since the queen is ruled out, the most suitable candidate among the entire royal family and aristocracy is not some noble woman from a distant fiefdom.
But it was the beautiful woman in front of him, Astrid, who had a cold temperament and indifferent expression.
“But…” Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, “I don’t want to take advantage of others.”
"Before we officially begin, let this little princess of the former melting pot... wake up a little."
He raised his right hand, flicked his fingertips lightly, and a faint ray of light flowed out.
The power of the scales is coercive in nature.
Once refined by the Scales, one will become its slave.
However, this kind of slavery does not erase memory, but suppresses memory and blocks the self with absolute will.
Just like Bephny, she was loyal to Lynn, so Lynn didn't suppress her and she always remembered everything.
The reason why Astrid, Sonya, and even the Spirit Eye Wizard were like "puppets" was because when Lin En controlled the balance, he directly used it to suppress their self-will.
Now, what Lynn is doing is releasing the memories that Astrid had sealed away.
"call out!"
A ray of golden light quietly fell on Astrid's forehead. She stood on the right side of the dining table, her expression as cold as ice, as if she hadn't noticed it.
However, the next moment, a golden light suddenly flashed across that pretty face that seemed like a sculpture.
A hint of golden light also appeared in her deep purple eyes.
The light flashed and disappeared, but it was like a flood bursting through a dam. In an instant, dormant memories emerged wildly.
Astrid stood there, her purple eyes trembled suddenly and her pupils contracted violently.
When she became a slave of the Libra, she still had various memories, and naturally remembered the scenes of being ordered to be by Lynn's side.
She regained herself.
She remembered herself and every detail of the day she was ordered to come before Lynn.
At this moment, Astrid, who had her own will, had a blush on her beautiful face, and there was an indescribable emotion in her purple eyes.
This little wizard who came from the Crucible was originally just a minor character that she could destroy with a snap of her fingers.
But things change, the tides rise and fall, and this little wizard becomes his own master! During this period, although Astrid has no self-awareness, she has memories, such as Lin En ordering her to lift up her clothes, instructing the body-refining wizard, etc.
Not to mention other actions, when Lin En was with her, he treated her completely like a maid!
During the time that Astrid had been working as a maid, scene after scene of her memories came to her mind, and in her rage, her chest heaved.
Finally, Astrid's emotions broke through her calmness.
Astrid clenched her teeth, her purple eyes flickering with a complex mixture of shame and anger at the first moment she regained her will.
She took action!
Boom! A strange purple light suddenly burst out from Astrid's body, like a bolt of lightning, sweeping across the entire restaurant.
Her beautiful eyes, which seemed to be carved from purple gemstones, shone with dazzling brilliance at this moment, and there were mysterious ripples in her eyes like water waves, as if they could penetrate the soul.
The Spirit Eye Wizard, an existence that terrified countless wizards in the past, was most feared for his pair of pale eyes.
As his "biological" daughter, Astrid naturally inherited a powerful eye technique.
At this moment, her purple eyes widened angrily, and her pupil technique fully erupted. A purple light containing the will of destruction rushed straight towards Lin En's brow!
This attack was extremely ferocious, containing all the anger and mental strength of a late-stage second-level wizard, comparable to the attack of a third-level great wizard!
If it were anyone else, let alone a level two wizard, even an ordinary level three wizard would be in trouble.
If you are not prepared, you are likely to be broken and injured by this ray of light!
But in the face of such a violent and shocking attack, Lin En didn't even frown.
He was still sitting at the dining table with an elegant posture, without putting down the knife and fork in his hands, and was even cutting the freshly seasoned blood-fried steak on the plate.
He just uttered one word slowly:
"stop."
Brief, but extremely firm.
In an instant, a golden shadow of a scale slowly emerged from behind him, like a hammer of judgment from the gods, emitting a solemn aura of oppression.
The golden light shone down and quietly landed on Astrid.
Her figure suddenly trembled, her pupils paused slightly, and a golden light seemed to flash across the depths of her purple eyes.
In an instant, the surging murderous intent and the power of the pupil technique suddenly retreated like a tide! Astrid frowned and gritted her teeth, trying to break free, but in her spiritual realm, it seemed as if there was a scale that turned into a judge, lying across the top of her spirit, suppressing all thoughts.
She is still a slave to the scales after all.
"It will fall apart without any attack."
Lin En murmured lightly, not even bothering to raise her voice.
At this moment, Astrid's riot seemed like a ridiculous joke that was extinguished just as it started.
"You'd better stay at this level to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Lynn said, flicking her fingers again.
The pressure of the scales slowly loosened, but it stopped abruptly when it was released only to the level of wizard apprentices.
Estri only felt that the flow of mental energy in her body was blocked and almost locked. The originally powerful force was now as weak as a stream and barely detectable!
Her beautiful eyes opened wide, her whole body trembled with anger, her teeth were clenched tightly, and her shame and anger almost turned into reality.
"You! Kill me if you dare!"
She shouted angrily, her face flushed red, but it was not because of shyness, but because of extremely suppressed humiliation and resentment!
However, Lin En just shook his head and sighed, his eyes sneered:
"Tsk tsk... haven't you figured out the situation yet?"
"You can't die until I allow you to."
He spoke calmly, yet with an almost cold control.
Whether you can live or not is not up to Astrid; whether you can die or not is also not up to Astrid.
Then he turned his gaze to Bephantine, who had been silent beside him.
The elf girl in the white dress stood quietly in the corner, like a quiet and silent white butterfly.
Even though Astrid had just exploded like a mad tiger, she remained unmoved and her eyes were as calm as water.
After being refined by the scales, Bephny has become different from before, tougher and calmer.
"Bephny, I'll leave her to you from now on."
Lin En wiped the corner of his mouth, put down his knife and fork, and spoke in a calm but unquestionable tone.
"Let her fully understand her situation and learn to be a qualified maid before becoming the 'next queen'."
"Yes, Master."
Bephny smiled gently and bowed to Lynn gracefully.
She was wearing a white dress, and her snow-white chest was exposed unreservedly in front of Lin En, but she did not show any shyness at all.
Astrid, who was standing by, was slightly startled, and a hint of confusion quietly emerged in her purple eyes.
"Maid"? She could understand a little. But "Queen"? What did that mean? However, before she could ask any more questions, she was firmly grasped by Bethenny's slender but powerful wrist.
"Let's go, Your Highness."
Bephny had a smile on her face and her tone was gentle, but it carried an irresistible sense of oppression.
Before Astrid could recover from the humiliation and power loss, she was taken into the "maid training" that belonged only to her...
She used to be condescending, proud and cold, like a snow lotus on an iceberg.
Now, he has to experience humiliation and obedience in front of an elf girl of humble status.
But Lin En had already turned around and left at this time, as he had more important things to do.
In a short period of time, he must master the forbidden technique inherited from the "Furnace Stone".
"If it were me, I would never do what the Spirit Eye Wizard did and have a half-daughter."
As he was thinking, he disappeared into the corridor deep in the palace.
"My Shinto clone only needs my soul fragment to personally control the body. It is flawless and cannot be interfered with by others."
The night is like water and the moonlight is bright.
A snow lotus born in the royal family was taught by Estri who was born in the mud...
However, Lynn wasn't very interested in how Bephny trained Astrid.
He didn't care about the process, he just wanted the result, an Astrid who was obedient enough and completely surrendered.
