Chapter 465: The Prince and Cinderella

"First of all, let's talk about your current ability, or your strength. Leitch looked at Sandro and smiled.

Hearing this, Sandro was silent for a while before he spoke: "Now this body of mine does not reach the level of the Skeleton Lord (Fifth Order) in terms of strength and strength, but once it is stained with my bone poison, even if it is a conqueror or a storm warrior with strong vitality, he will encounter great trouble, or even be poisoned to death!"

"As for magic, I can still use some of the psychic magic (master necromancy) that I used to master, but not much. ”

"In other words, your current strength is roughly equivalent to a low-end fifth-order?"

"So to speak. Sandro nodded, then added, "But as long as I am given enough resources and a certain amount of time, not only will I be able to master the magic I have learned again, but I will definitely be able to perfect the skeleton body without leaving any side effects!"

From Sandro's words, you can hear the strong confidence and intense enthusiasm contained in it.

But Leitch just smiled at this, noncommittal - he didn't doubt Sandro's talent, without talent, Sandro would not have achieved the current results, but many times, whether a thing can be done or not has nothing to do with his own talent, even if it is only a small step away from success, but can't, just can't! So for the vast majority of mages, only 100% can be called success!

"Tell me where you came from. Although in your bio, it is noted that you are from the Karachi Empire, but I feel that there is more I need to know. Leitch looked at Sandro and said meaningfully.

"I am indeed from the Karachi Empire, a native of Karachi, and once taught at Xinghai Academy-"

But before Sandro could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Reich: "Wait, you say you're a Karachi? But how do you look like you at all? As far as I know, for the Karachi, even if they become ghosts after death, their pupils are still their self-contained gold! But I don't see such a characteristic in you." ”

The characteristics in Leitch's words naturally refer to the dark cyan soul fire in Sandro's eyes.

Sandro didn't answer Richie's question directly, but suddenly asked, "Has the Viscount ever known about the Empire's marriage laws?"

"The marriage laws of the Karachi Empire?" Reich frowned and pondered for a while, "You know, it seems that the Karachi Empire strictly forbids Karachi awakened people to marry ordinary people, or foreigners, and violators will even be sentenced to death?"

"Yes, that's it. Sandro nodded, and then suddenly said, "I believe that with the erudition of the Viscount, I must know the love poem "The Prince and Cinderella"?"

"I did. Leitch nodded, "It's probably about a prince of noble birth and great talent who fell in love with a maid in a noble family. The maid was born lowly and was not an Awakened, but His Royal Highness the Prince resolutely came together with Cinderella. In the end, Cinderella was burned at the stake, and even His Royal Highness the Prince was given a cup of poisoned wine, which was poignant and heartbreaking. This poem is sought after by countless infatuated men and women, and the unswerving relationship between the prince and Cinderella is also regarded as a model of love. ”

But in fact, in Leitch's heart, he sneered at the hero of the poem, the almost perfect prince in the eyes of ordinary people - he chose to go against the world and get together with 'Cinderella', but he failed to completely abandon everything, and was still bound by the morality in his heart, showing his cowardice;

Like such a cowardly and incompetent man can become the perfect man and model of a man in the minds of many women, Leitch is really speechless......

Sandro could see that Leitch's face was a little strange, but he certainly couldn't guess what Leitch was thinking at this time, but that wasn't in his range of concern. After a pause, Sandro said: "Actually, it doesn't matter who the prince falls in love with, even if he decides to abandon everything and get together with a maid, it's just his own business, what really makes the Ashes Council can't let him go is because he is a Karachi mage, and that maid is just an ordinary person!"

"Oh, why is this happening?" Finding that there are many secrets hidden behind such a bloody love story, especially about the Karachi Empire, Leitch can't help but be intrigued.

Sandro suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he continued to speak: "Regarding the god-making plan, I think even if I don't need to explain it, I believe that the viscount knows what it is. ”

Hearing the words 'God-making Project', Leitch's face instinctively became a little dark, but he didn't interrupt Sandro out loud, and his expression became more serious.

"As the last glory and madness of the Fast Empire, the God-making Project brewed the Battle of Twilight, and also gave birth to the Karachi and Ankara people...... Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the god-making project, in terms of its purpose alone, it has undoubtedly succeeded in the eyes of countless hymnists, historians, and even ordinary people, and it has created an incredibly high rate of Karachi awakening to mages!"

"I thought so for a long time, and I was proud to be a Karachian. But—" Although Sandro didn't have the slightest emotion in his voice with the help of his enchanted teeth, Reich still heard a hint of bitterness in it, "It wasn't until I stumbled upon a dusty document that I realized that it was not without a price for us to become the 'Chosen One';

"Dusty literature?" Leitch said with his eyes narrowed slightly.

"That's right, as I said before, I used to teach at Xinghai Academy, and I also served as the administrator of Xinghai Academy's library for a while. But speaking of which, the time when I worked as a librarian at Xinghai Academy was the most memorable time in my life!" Sandro said with a slight sigh.

In the eyes of ordinary people, what is there to envy about a librarian? But Leitch nodded in agreement: "Your luck is really enviable!"

It can be heard that Leitch's tone is not fraudulent at all, as the Kuroshio Terminator, the Lord of Starfog Valley, and the Viscount of Black Wind of the Dawson Federation, he is stunned to envy the identity of a librarian?!

If this spreads outside, it will definitely make countless people's eyes drop, but Sandro naturally accepted Leqi's envy, and smiled a little proudly: "As a viscount, it should be impossible to be the administrator of the library of Xinghai Academy, but Tianshuang Academy, the Lord is very promising! And the idea of studying the undead battle mage originally originated from the time I was a librarian!"

Whether it is Leitch or Sandro, there is not the slightest element of hypocrisy and falsification between the words of the two, in their opinion, the opportunity to be the librarian of Xinghai Academy or Tianfrost Academy is indeed much more important than many things - because the library represents knowledge!

This is the difference between mages and ordinary people, in the eyes of ordinary people, most high-level mages seem a little unwilling, indifferent and ruthless, but sometimes for a magic experiment, a magic formula, they do not hesitate to pay any price, or commit any mistakes, even if it is to sell their country and soul!

But they are not without desires, on the contrary, they have far greater desires than ordinary people, and they are persistently walking alone on the path of desire - exploring the end of magic and seeing the nature of the world is their greatest pursuit!

"What the hell is written in that document you saw?" Seeing that Sandro seemed a little overexcited, Leitch couldn't help but remind him.

"Technically, it's just a piece of data, but I see something unusual in that data. As he spoke, the soul fire in Sandro's eyes became deeper and deeper, as if to show his solemn mood, "That data records the proportion of mages among the Karachi people from the time of the birth of the earliest 'Chosen People', and the proportion of mages among the Karachi people a thousand years ago. ”

"In the beginning, the first generation of 'Chosen People', that is, the earliest group of Karachins, were all mages!"

"But as time progressed, the percentage was decreasing, and it was declining at an alarming rate! It wasn't until two thousand years ago that the mage percentage began to wane. ”

"Two thousand years ago?" said Leitch suspiciously.

"That's right, it's 2,000 years ago, the era in which The Prince and Cinderella took place, and the time when the Imperial Marriage Law was enacted!"

"It's also a coincidence, when an administrator of the Xinghai Academy library was tidying up the library, he sorted out the data accumulated by some of the academy in various time periods, including the proportion of mages among the Karachi people in each time period of the empire!"

As for why Sandro only focuses on the proportion of mages in his discourse, and there are no other systems of awakened ones, it is because the god-making plan gives the Karachiians a high chance of awakening as mages, but also deprives them of the opportunity to awaken to other systems!

"In the entire data that came out, the administrator was surprised to find that for thousands of years, the proportion of mages of the Karachi people in the empire has been decreasing all the time!

"Eventually, the librarian handed over the data he had obtained to the Ashes Council, and it quickly attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Council, and even the Emperor!
