Chapter 15: The Magical Festival of Years Ago
Every word and every action of the teacher at that time, Saron still remembers it to this day. He also vividly remembers the reaction of the others who attended the festival at the time.
Of course, they wouldn't agree, because Salon's teacher was just a little-known mage at the time. No one knows who he is, what his name is, what exactly his purpose is, and why he is so arrogant.
But it didn't take long for Saron to understand that the teacher's approach at that time was not arrogant, he was just going to ask the empire for what he deserved.
The guards and the mages of the Imperial Academy of Magic poured up like a tidal wave, and they were ready to take down this megalomaniacal, and if necessary, it was not impossible to kill him on the spot, because he had offended the king of the empire.
But what shocked and frightened everyone happened, nearly a hundred elite mid-level warriors, plus dozens of magic academy magisters, failed to restrain their teachers. To put it more directly, the teacher was facing a siege of more than a hundred middle and high-level at that time, and he didn't even move his footsteps.
He lightly defused the tide of Stoke's royal guards, and then subdued them with devastating sheer force. The battle only lasted for ten minutes, and after ten minutes, the teacher still stood in place with the same expression as usual, and none of those who tried to capture him died, everyone was either unconscious or frozen, and there were not even a few injured!
There was silence for a minute, and finally the aged king stepped forward.
Kilron Stoker, the current king of the Stoke Empire, is now ninety-six years old. However, with the help of powerful magic and various potions, Kilron still maintains the appearance of a man in his forties.
Yes, Kilron was not only the king of the Stoke Empire. He is also a high-level mage with nineteenth-level strength, and was once known as a top powerhouse "under the legend". And the reason why he received this title was because Kilron was praised as an invincible existence after the Sanctuary and the legend at the time.
Of course, because he was the king of the Stoke Empire, sycophants and the like were always heard. What's more, he had already entered the nineteenth level when he was middle-aged, regardless of whether he was really invincible or not, but it was enough to be proud of the title of "under the legend".
Yes, forty years ago, Kiel Ron was so fond of the title "Under the Legend". But twenty years after the nineteenth card, it would be an affront to His Majesty the great King of Stoke, Kilroan. Quite a few people brought up the word "under the legend" in order to pat Kilron's ass, and they were all punished by the old king in a fit of rage.
Some were imprisoned and executed, while others were annihilated by a spell by an enraged Kilron. As for the family, the unfortunate family members of these poor ghosts were directly executed, and the better ones were reduced to slavery and stealing their lives.
Although Kilron's methods were a little more bloody, after several punishments, everyone forced themselves to forget the word. Today, it is only known that Kilrohn is not only the pinnacle of Stoke Empire's political circles, but also an authority in the wizarding world. As for words like "under the legend", no one mentions them anymore.
The old king and the teacher looked at each other for half a minute, and then he asked about the teacher's strength. And the teacher also answered truthfully at that time that he was a mage who had been cultivating for many years, and now he had entered the legendary realm.
This answer once again shocked the people attending the festival, but it was even more shocking. None of the wizarding authorities present, including Kilron, refuted the teacher's claims. That is, this statement is not boasting, but most likely the truth!
Legendary Mage: If you can add a Legendary Mage, it will be a huge change for the Stoke Empire!
Although in terms of mid-to-low-end combat power, the Stoke Empire has always been slightly stronger than the Hawk Empire. However, the Stoke Empire has a fatal shortcoming compared with the Hawke Empire, that is, the weakness of the top-level combat power.
Yes, before the appearance of the teacher, the Stoke Empire did not have the top-level personal force of the Sanctuary or Legend that could affect the continent.
Although neither the "Wind Swordmaster" Malloret nor the "Wandering Spear" Kevin have made it clear that they belong to the Hawke Empire, these two known Sanctuary warriors in the Chino Continent have good personal relationships with the royal family of the Hawke Empire.
Especially Malolet, who is old and uncultivated, eats and drinks with the royal family of the Hawke Empire all day long. Even though he once made it clear that he and Kevin were unwilling to use their own strength to influence the situation on the entire continent, even children understand the truth of eating people's short mouths. Idiots wouldn't believe that if one day the Hawk Empire was cornered by the Stokers, he Malolet wouldn't jump out and pull a hand.
Therefore, although Malolite and Kevin have not blatantly helped the Hawk Empire, in the eyes of the Stokers, these two Sanctuary warriors will be two time bombs that may explode at any time.
Because of this, not only the Stoke royal family has a headache about this matter, but even the people are quite uneasy about this situation. And what happened after that proved that the Southerners' fears were not unreasonable, because within a few years Malolet began to help the Yankees contact the indigenous guilds of the Eastern Continent. A few years later, Mallorite's daughter also blatantly joined the official institutions of the Hawke Empire.
Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that Stoke secretly has a legendary mage in charge now, the southern royal family would have wanted to be as anxious as an ant on a pot.
It can be seen from this that the people present at that time had a keen desire for a top powerhouse. After confirming the strength of the teacher, Kilron did not hesitate to agree to his first condition.
But Kilron was hesitant to hand over Saron, and he didn't know if he understood how terrible Salon's potential was or something else. In short, the young Salon, who was then young, could read the reluctance on the old king's face. But the temptation of legendary power and the hope of the crowd led the old king to make his own choice.
The teacher has no objection to this. All eyes were on Saron. So what did Saron think at the time when he was a teenager?
There is no doubt that the power that the teacher has shown before has conquered not only all the idiots who try to attack him, but also Saron, a frivolous teenager who has just realized his potential. Saron almost shouted and agreed to become the middle-aged man's disciple, and it was from that day that Salons learned the name of his teacher, Rogge.
Not many people know this name, he is one, Kilron is one, and as for the others, Saron is not so sure.
That's right, Rogge was so low-key at Stoke, even so low-key that it didn't exist. It may be that Rogge cast some unknown spell, and most of the people present at the time forgot about the episode that happened that day, and the protagonist of the episode, in the days that followed.
But there are still some people who remember Rogge, they are all at the top of the Stoke empire, the absolute henchmen of the royal family. These people paid unparalleled attention to Rogge for the first year, after all, this guy came from a strange way, and he could still do a lot with his ability if he wanted to do it against the Empire.
But after more than a year of observation, Kilron discovers that Rog is only doing some obscure magical research in addition to instructing Saron. He does not interfere in the politics of the Empire, nor does he affect the affairs of the Empire's military, and even appears very quiet in the Academy of Magic. This kind of behavior not only reassured the dean who felt that his position was in danger, but also reassured the high-ranking members of the Stoke Empire, who loved and hated Rogge.
Perhaps, this guy is really just a madman who has delved into magic to the point of madness, right? If he doesn't have this madness, he can't become a legendary mage. Kiel Rohn gradually developed such an opinion about Rogge.
Because of this, Kilron also understands Rogge's low profile. He didn't go into the nitty-gritty search for Rogge's identity - what if that angered the eccentric legendary mage? Kil-Ron didn't bother to find out why Rog didn't want others to know about his existence - maybe he was sick in the head? But there's nothing wrong with keeping a low profile, at least to surprise his opponent at a critical moment.
In this way, Rogian lived in the thousand-year-old capital of the Stoke Empire for several years.
And in the next few years, as Kiel Rohn expected, Rogge trained apprentices, and after the apprentices became masters, Rogge, who had leisurely settled, began to study magic equipment. That magic cannon is Rogge's best work in recent years.
Think of it, a legendary mage who does not interfere with the rule of the empire by his own power. Usually nothing more than burning money to do some magic research, and can also make outstanding results such as magic cannons. At the critical moment, he can still jump out and save the fate of the empire with his own strength. Such a person must be fragrant in the eyes of the royal family of the Stoke Empire.
Because of this, in the past few years, the royal family has become more and more respectful of Rogue and even Salon, which makes the young mage Saron from the grassroots can't help but feel a little fluttery. Unlike the low-key Rogge, he is in the limelight and attracts attention, which is Sarlon's favorite thing to do. And since you have such conditions, you might as well use these conveniences to serve the imperial military, and then it seems that it is not bad to mix with the status of a nobleman.
This was the original intention of Saron to join the battlefield at that time, and in the last six months, Saron has relied on his terrible personal ability to make a lot of achievements for the Stoke Empire. With these exploits, Saron finally gained some influence in the Imperial military. And the purpose of everything he did was to wash away the humiliation he suffered at Regner half a year ago!
And Salon's first stop for Regner's revenge is the Costa Fortress where Regner once stayed!
