Chapter 9: The Price of Power

What is Strength?

For the average person, strength usually represents a combination of endurance and explosiveness; For samurai, strength is the fighting spirit in their body; For magicians, power is the magic they can control; For the magician, the power comes from the magic... Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

What is the use of power?

Strength is not only useful, but it is also very useful. Power can keep you safe, it can take the lives of your enemies, it can help you succeed on the battlefield, and even if you have enough power, wealth and status will follow you like a fly chasing you. Take our magic apprentice Leo as an example, a magic apprentice like him has no identity or status to speak of, just an ordinary civilian. However, if he is promoted to a first-level mage, then as long as he swears allegiance to the Sbonny Empire or any other nation on the continent, he will be able to earn the title of baron, become a member of the nobility, and legally own his own domain, taxes, and a small army. When one day he was promoted to rank 4 and became a mid-level mage, what awaited him was a higher level of viscountdom, a larger territory and more taxes, and an army. By analogy, a Holy Demon Guide of the Sanctuary can obtain the title of Marquis, the territory of a county and the taxes of tens or even millions of people in the territory, and can also build a cavalry regiment of 20,000 people and an infantry army of 100,000 people. And the price to be paid by this holy demon guide is nothing more than a few painless oaths of allegiance in the name of God. Given that the mages of the Wizards' Guild have a reputation for being ungodly and ungodly, the credibility of the oaths made by these holy wizards in the name of the gods is questionable. But that's not the point, the point is-

"I heard there's a Holy See up ahead? Come on, let's bulldoze it with magic. Three hours after the words of the greatest magician of all time, Mojik Brichette, the seat of the Holy See at the time, the Shannilet Palace, was shattered into ruins by him and his twelve holy wizards with hundreds of forbidden spells.

"The radiance of the gods? In front of Lao Tzu's magic, that's a fart! β€”Mojik Brichette.

That's the benefit of power, and you can even use it to challenge the majesty of God.

It is precisely because of this that since the birth of life on this continent, people have been constantly chasing powerful forces. Whether it is a variety of cultivation techniques, magic spells that are kept secret by mages, or magic weapons with excellent texture and sturdy armor that can save people's lives in times of crisis, these are all things created by people in the process of pursuing power, and their function is to assist people to obtain greater power. Over the course of thousands of years, people have also discovered a simple and effective way to increase their strength, and that is the panacea.

There are so many benefits of a panacea, it can increase potential, strengthen the foundation, speed up recovery, save lives, etc., but the most popular point is of course the increase in strength. There are many kinds of elixirs that can increase strength, some are temporary, some are permanent, some have extremely strong side effects, and some have no side effects at all. The Angel Tears in the glass of wine that Anthony drank at his birthday party were recognized as one of the strongest elixirs on the mainland, and its effect was to directly raise the level of the person who took it by one level in a way that did no harm to the human body. It doesn't sound like it's too supernatural, but if you think about it carefully, it really doesn't have much effect if you raise a first-level cultivator to a second-level cultivator. But what if a ninth-level high-level peak cultivator who could not enter the gate of the Sacred Domain was promoted to a tenth-level realm that represented the Sacred Domain? Although it is only one step away, there is a well-known saying on the mainland that may explain something: "Under the holy land, all are - mole - ants!" "So now only one last question remains, can Angel Tears directly raise a ninth-level high-level peak powerhouse to the tenth-level realm of the Holy Domain? The answer is-

Yes.

"That's not right!" Leo suddenly spoke, "Since this Angel's Tear is so miraculous, then it must have cost your brother a great deal to obtain this thing, and why did he give it to you?" ”

"Humph! Hey! Ha! Anthony sneered heavily, the expression on his face kept changing like a marquee, his eyes sometimes flashed with monstrous anger, sometimes turned into incomparable resentment, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "That's because Angel Tears also has a well-known side effect - it converts all the power in the user's body into holy power!" ”

Holy power, or the power of the Holy Light, is usually only cultivated and mastered by cultivators from the Church of Light (such as magicians). "I know what you want to ask," Anthony raised his hand to interrupt Leo's words that were about to come out, and said, "Maybe for a ninth-level powerhouse, as long as he can enter the Holy Realm, even if he can transform his strength into a fallen dark power, it doesn't matter at all, but my great Lionheart King Ancestor once made a family rule, and that family rule said, 'No Golden Lion bloodline can cultivate holy power, violator-'" Anthony was silent for a short time, and a painful expression appeared in his eyes, In a voice as hoarse as a crow, he continued: "Evicted from the house! ”

"Thisβ€”" Leo's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't close it for a long time. Such a result was obviously too unexpected for him, and the young magic apprentice was simply a mess of admiration for the golden lion heir he had never met at this moment. "Sure enough, he is the wisest person in the genius Golden Lion Family. A drop of angelic tears can easily knock his biggest competitor from hell and make him never turn over, it's really worth it, it's worth it! ”

"Pretty unexpected, right?" The expression on Anthony's face suddenly regained his calmness, and the whole person suddenly turned into the handsome and dashing young student again, and said in a gentle and beautiful voice: "Angel tears are a gift from the gods, and mortals can't fight its effect at all, so I changed from a fourth-level magician to a fifth-level magician overnight, and then I was naturally expelled from the Golden Lion family, and the surname 'Li'an' was also deprived by my father, Duke Li'an. From that day on, there was no such person as Antonidas Prol Lean on the mainland, only Antonidas Prol. ”
