Chapter 404: A Sincere 'Return Gift'

When it comes to the character of Shane VII Cromville Queza, standing in the eyes of Levi, an outsider, there is still some appreciation and admiration.

Even in the various biographies and histories he read on his trip to the south, there were far more disparages than praise for Shane VII.

Especially in a book of "The Wild Words of Shane VII", it is extremely ridiculed about his life, and it is even labeled as the gravedigger of the Shane Dynasty and the king of the fallen country.

Evaluate him as a tyrant through and through, a madman who openly casts a massive undead scourge spell from the corpses of his own people to suppress a slave uprising...

But Levi has his own interpretation of the history of Shane's chronicles.

If you look at the history of the Shane dynasty, you will find that in fact, when this decaying dynasty fell into the hands of Shane VII, it was already a mess full of holes.

At that time, Shane had internal troubles such as Pasha secession, gate valve party disputes, mage rule, slave uprisings, etc., while externally it had been adhering to Shane's early 'great unification' policy, and the southern border had already crossed the lake of steam, and Char's border countries were inseparable.

Multi-line battlefields, ultra-long-distance supply lines, and constant internal encroachment all make the ancient kingdom of Shane like a behemoth riddled with serious illnesses, which can fall headlong at any time and never turn over.

At this time, Sean VI suddenly died, and Sean VII, who was only fourteen years old at the time, was lifted to the throne that was about to collapse by a group of court mages.

Just when the entire empire was in danger, the blue dragon Ivy Korazagran, who had accumulated strength for nearly a hundred years, saw the opportunity to take the first step in her revenge.

She openly landed in Piazza Queza in front of the Imperial Palace in Chanachi and demanded that Cromwell respond to her demands.

As a result, everyone knew that Sean VII at that time had lost the face of the Quesa royal family and chose to become the first emperor to openly bow to the blue dragon.

And let the blue dragon leave peacefully with a small part of the treasure house.

As a result, after paying such a price, he suddenly turned his face, brazenly tore up the compensation agreement, and launched three sharp tooth wars against Ivy Korazagran in succession, which also laid the groundwork for the fall of the Shane dynasty.

Although Sean VII was severely wounded and paralyzed in the final decisive battle with Ivy Korasagrand, he was stabbed to death by his own daughter Shah Ani and usurped the throne, and allowed the Shaun dynasty to survive for eighty-seven years.

However, later scholars still unanimously identified Shane VII as the last emperor of the Shane dynasty.

Because Shahani's usurpation was not unanimously recognized by all the Pasha in the country, this 'filial' female emperor in history was not called Shane VIII, but was given titles such as 'backstabber' and 'patricide'.

After the collapse of Shane VII, the entire Shane dynasty was essentially disintegrated and fell into an era of strife in which the Pasha were competing for war.

At that time, the Shane Dynasty had already existed in name only.

So sometimes, Levi felt that Sean VII was quite tragic.

Obviously born in the most shit era, but everyone placed the highest hopes on him, hoping that he could turn the tide when this edifice was about to collapse, but he also demanded that he should be perfect in all aspects.

Levi thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that the complicated situation when Shane VII ascended the throne was really not something that ordinary people could play, and it was like Corell's version of Chongzhen's hellish difficulty...

No, I'm afraid it's Tang Zhaozong's purgatory-level difficulty...

It's still the 'Steel Soul Mode' that must be cleared in one life.

And there are all kinds of magical 'superpowers' in this world, especially being targeted by a legendary blue dragon.

This is to be replaced by which traverser wears on the body of Shane VII at that time, and it is estimated that it is directly the rhythm of 'two eyes closed, the renegade emperor' died early and was born early.

It is precisely because of this reverse thinking mode that Levi can see clearly through the curtain of history the deep meaning behind some of the seeming 'blind operations' of this Sean VII.

On the first day of his ascension to the throne, he was asked for a debt by Ivy Korazagran, and if he chooses to go all out to harden steel, whether he wins or loses, the Shane dynasty will not be able to avoid the end of the 'Bad End' anyway.

It's like a chess endgame, as soon as you get started, you are 'general', if you don't move the commander first to avoid its edge, you can't take the next step at all."

So he chose to compromise, exchanging his treasure and dignity for precious time.

He needs time to 'develop', to gradually regain his rights as emperor from the court mages and from the Pashas, so that he can slowly use his will to 'save' his dying dynasty.

After completing this strategy, in order to prevent the insatiable blue dragon Ivy Korazagran from lying on the empire and continuing to suck blood, it is natural to 'turn the face' to solve this hidden danger.

It's a pity that he still underestimated the other party's cunning and difficulty, and steeled three times in a row, not only failed to succeed, but put himself in...

It can only be said that the tragedy is ruthless.

It's just that Levi was a little puzzled, with the high level of necromancy attainments of Shane VII Cromwell, he actually didn't arrange a backhand such as the 'Lich Transformation Ritual' for himself?

But such a result in history, he was stabbed in the back by his own daughter Shah Ani...

And then there was no then.

What a drama of father and daughter's filial piety...

Levi sighed regretfully, but for the primeval blue dragon Ivy Kolasagran mentioned by Iggy, he thought about it and said with relief:

"However, although Ivy Korazagran is powerful, she doesn't need to worry too much in a short time, I inquired about the news about the primeval blue dragon when I went to Karinshan, and the last time the other party appeared was more than forty years ago, so theoretically, based on her sleep cycle, the next time she woke up would be at least half a century later. ”

As the dragon aged, the longer the period of sleep required, and by the time of the primeval dragon, a hundred years of sleep became the norm.

Although there are cases where the dragon wakes up in the middle of the game due to an unexpected situation, this is rarely the case, and even affects the dragon's health.

This is also the reason why their family members will never easily disturb Levi's sleep when they are not in the last resort.

"Half a century later?"

Ig also calmed down when he heard this, he thought about it for a while, and reminded:

"However, we still have to be wary of her dependents who may intervene, and Ivy Korasagran's strength lies partly in her accumulation as an Archaeal Blue Dragon, and partly because she, as a gravedigger of the Shane dynasty, has gained too much benefit from Shane's wreckage.

"As a remnant of Nethariel, it is rumored that in his hands is at least the Ring of Arcal's Blade, the Desert Edge Garzer, the Fanged Shield of Shakkorit, the Demon Shield of Clotar, the control of Omar V, the lens of Barsarus, the Scepter of Shane, etc.

It was with these powerful magic tools that he founded the Shane dynasty in the south, and it is rumored that he put these magic tools in the treasury as a national heirloom, and after Shane IV killed the brilliant Rehemnasar, he obtained the artifact of the Silver Dragon Clanβ€”β€”β€” the Scroll of Jane Hair.

"With the fall of the Shane dynasty, there is a high probability that these powerful magic tools have fallen into her hands.

"If it were any other dragon, it would probably be possible to keep these tools in their treasure troves forever as battle weapons.

"But the style of the blue dragon Ivy Korazagran seems to be a little different..."

Saying this, Iggy looked at Fischer and asked:

"I heard that you bumped into two ogres in your quest for Tiberius in the Nrainthel Islands, and summoned two legendary elemental djinns using two bottle-like magic tools?"

Fischer shook his head and said, "Yes... A wind elemental djinn, a fire elemental djinn, looking at that posture is not an ordinary legend, it almost scared me to death at that time, if it weren't for Xia Lanwei Luosi's crown to find out in advance and interrupt the summoning process of the two ogre mages, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you now. ”

"That's right, it's in the hands of Omar V, or rather part of it, one of the masterpieces of the Grand Arcanist Connor. It's not actually an artifact, but because it can summon four legendary elemental djinns, it has always been regarded as a 'man-made artifact' by ordinary professionals. ”

Eagle shook his head to confirm, and then looked at Li Weidao:

"Tiberius, since Ivy Korazagran was able to bestow this magic device on her dependents, it meant that she might also give other magical tools to her dependents to protect her interests in the southern kingdom.

"So our next plan of action for Karinshan had to put this risk into the parameters. ”

Even though Levi had heard of this stubble from the mouth of Xia Lanwei Luosi, the nature of the dragon made his first reaction after hearing Iggy's words was not how to be guarded, but his eyes lit up:

"Doesn't that mean that I can get these treasures that once belonged to Shane from the families of Ivy Korasagran... No, it was once part of our Nethriel's legacy?"

At this moment, he took on the role of the younger brother of Netheril's last chief archon, Karthas, vowing to recover these treasures of arcane laurels in order to restore Netharil's glory.

In the face of Levi's 'righteous words', even Iger, who is accustomed to thinking with pure reason, can't help but be a little stuck...

And Fisher on the side was also led crooked by his own lord in an instant, and he was quite eager to seize these powerful magical creations.

But Iggy poured cold water on them:

"Tiberius, while I'm interested in these magical creations of Netheril's past, intellectually speaking, we're not fit to do so at this time.

"Powerful magical creations can often be anchored by magic or even souls, with the habits of a dragon, with the prudence of Ivy Korazagran, it is even possible to impose a chain on these magical creations.

"If it falls into our hands, she will most likely wake up early.

"That's... It's going to be a disaster. ”

Hearing these words, Levi, who was originally full of ambition, instantly wilted like a punctured balloon, smashed his mouth and said:

"Okay..."

Even the original interest in visiting the Zeellandia Magic Research Institute was mostly missing.

Levi thought for a moment and said to Ig:

"By the way, we also picked up a lich on our trip to Karinsan, and interestingly, she was able to keep her creature alive after 'resurrecting' from the corpse of a half-elf. ”

"This can't be!" Ig looked up in disbelief.

Levi's words seemed to be beyond Iggy's cognition.

The Lich Transformation Ritual was originally a near-permanent life at the expense of some sanity and perception, which became common knowledge and taboo for almost all mages.

That's why so many Grand Arcanists are happy to study other life-prolonging spells, and don't advocate using the Lich Transformation Ritual until they have to.

They are not afraid of being spurned by their gods, but they feel that the gains outweigh the losses.

Arcanists pride themselves on their rationality, and if rationality becomes chaotic over time, then what do they rely on to support their 'beliefs'?

That's why 'Iolem's Life Extension' is so sought after by all Arcanists.

If the creature could still be kept alive through the Lich Transformation Ritual as Levi said, then the Arcanists were still studying the life extension of an egg.

Levi knew that Iggy, a stereotypical old pedant, would not believe it, so he took out a modified version of the 'Lich Transformation Ritual' reproduced by the half-elf lich 'Messier' from his bosom and handed it to Iger:

"It's her own modified ritual, you can see. ”

Iggy took the parchment scroll codex, looked at the frontispiece of the codex, and muttered:

"The Book of Unicorns?"

Then he couldn't wait to open and study it in front of Levi, and his brows slowly opened from the original frown, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"To some extent, this can no longer be regarded as a lich transformation ritual, but a 'reincarnation ritual', I have to say, this arcanist is a genius...

"No wonder... The ritual is still fatally flawed, and if my guess is right, this Miss Lich should... Weak, isn't it?"

Li Wei raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a little metaphysical: "You can see this?"

The honest Ig pointed to the red writing on the parchment scroll:

She herself annotated here, and what needs to be improved, and according to this annotation, it is not difficult to derive results. ”

Saying that, Eagle looked at Levi seriously: "Master Tiberius, this... Where is the Arcanist at the moment? Can I meet her?"

Levi smiled noncommittally: "People are watching from Wren, if you want to see it, just send someone to call him and bring it over." ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Eagle bowed slightly.

"That's it for now. ”

Levi waved his hand, as if he suddenly remembered something before leaving:

"By the way, what's going on with Bethna's 'swimsuit'?

Originally, he had only borrowed a few days from Miss Frost Giant before leaving, but it had been almost a week, and he was afraid that he would delay it any longer, and if he ran into the other party one day, he was afraid that the other party would knock his dragon head up...

Fisher on the side looked at Levi's gaze, and suddenly became meaningful... I wonder if I can also ask the Drow technicians for two personal objects as a souvenir in the future...

"The technical difficulty of the 'diving suit' itself is not great, and it has been analyzed by Anthony, but how to increase the endurance time is still a problem that needs to be overcome, and in terms of current strength, it can only be used as a life-saving equipment for the Navy to fall into the water, rather than an active attack type equipment.

"However, its own properties change with Transfiguration, and the demand for raw materials is high, and we have created another set of scales and dead skin that have receded from your slumber, which should be enough to represent Tiberius's sincerity in crowning you. ”

After a while, Eagle asked Anthony to bring two 'clothes'.

Levi picked up one of the things, which was all silver and white and still had scales attached to it, and was slightly in a daze...

Nothing else, things are really beautiful...

It's just that... The material of this thing was actually faded by itself... What's that?

Put it on a girl again...

How does it feel... I'm a little panicked...

Sure enough, the Arcanist's brain circuit... It's just a little different from Changlong...
