Lolita decides to stay in the South, accompanying General Wellington and Master Sytie to help the exiled San Josens build a new home together. Although her feelings for San Jose are not too deep, Lolita understands that her current identity does not represent herself.

The people of San Jose suddenly lost their royal family and their homeland, and these ordinary people who have not awakened the elements are no different from slaves in the eyes of magicians. And Princess Lolita is still in the Shang League, and like the soldiers of the Guards around Lolita, these exiled San Josens have since regarded her as their most solid support.

Another particularly interesting thing is that the commander of the Royal Navy, Admiral Wellington, is surprisingly a natural elemental awakener. In his words, his family has always been a family of magicians, but he has little interest in it. After the establishment of the Magic Empire, General Wellington actually begged Master Sytie to teach him to learn magic, and at the same time, he also studied with the ordinary soldier named Bingxia.

"There's no way, look at the army of the Magic Empire, they all have magicians to help them fight, we are too bad. Since I have this talent, I can't waste it. General Wellington said.

Let's take our eyes off the Shang Alliance for a moment and return to the north of the continent, where, like General Wellington, there is also a group of people who are unwilling to submit to the power of the Magic Empire.

North of Desik, Auckland City, Nameless Castle.

"Teacher, there is another messenger from Baiyan City today, what did they say?" Elizabeth, dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, sat in the living room of the castle, holding a glass of crystal clear tequila in her hand.

Her teacher, Archduke Bazemore, did not answer her question, but walked over to her and reached out to take the glass of wine and drank it down. "You've drunk all my treasures these days, Elizabeth, I didn't know you were such a drinker. ”

"What else can you do if you don't drink, the Desik Empire is gone, those dark rising magicians are messing around in White Rock City, teacher, if you don't help me, I can't help it." ”

"Florian of Deathknell City, he has a lot of ideas, I didn't expect him to be such a short-sighted person, vainly trying to retain his power in the Shang Alliance, completely ignoring our Desic Empire. "A few days ago, Bazemore had just traveled to Deathknell to meet with General Florian. Although the Magic Empire's army and dispatch troops faced each other on both sides of the canyon, there was not much obstacle for a mage of Bazemore's level.

"If Florian doesn't want to, then we have very little to fight for. Elizabeth was a little frustrated.

"It's not that Florian is unwilling, he just doesn't want to submit to us, and the royal status of the two of us makes him a little concerned. Bazemore smiled helplessly.

"Teacher, you haven't answered my first question yet, the couriers from the Magic Empire, what do they want to do?"

It turned out that Bazemore, as the protector of the Dark Rising North~, although his relationship with the organization was close to the same, the Dark Rising still trusted him quite a lot. After White Rock was under Arthur's full control, he sent messengers several times to inquire about Bazemore's meaning. Bazemore's status is too special, he is both an important member of the Dark Rising and a member of the DeRec royal family. With his support, the expansion of the Magic Empire within Desik would be even more justified.

But Bazemore was unwilling, and he did not particularly agree with the political proposition of the rise of darkness from the heart. It's just that his teacher left him this identity, and for magicians who attach great importance to the inheritance of magic, they can't easily refuse.

However, Elizabeth understood that despite many disapprovals of Edward VI's actions, Bazemore still identified with the country in his heart. Elizabeth is very similar to him in this regard, she is also a member of the royal family, and she is also unhappy within the royal family.

Therefore, after the riots in White Rock City, Bazemore rushed to take Elizabeth away, and in the next six months, he traveled to various forces in Desik's country, and even went to the merchant alliance to meet with the part of the army that had already been separated from the empire.

So, when Arthur sent him multiple rounds of messengers, he still ignored Arthur's people.

"Elizabeth, in the past six months, I have contacted various forces in Desik's country, but I don't dare to act with great fanfare. Arthur must have understood my attitude, but he was still so tireless, I think he was afraid that we would raise a banner against them within Desik. But I've said a long time ago that between Desik and Dark Rising, I'm neutral. So it was, so it is now, and it will be so in the future. What I do is done for you, understand, Elizabeth. ”

So, the messenger who is here today, I asked him to bring a message to Arthur of White Rock.

"What message?" said Elizabeth, standing abruptly.

"I will not oppose the new Magic Emperor, I accept the title of Magic Duke of the Magic Empire. Bazemore said with a smile.

"Teacher, how can you do this!" Elizabeth couldn't believe her ears, "Florian can reject us, and the forces in Desik can reject us, but now, it's far from the time to give up! Elizabeth yelled hoarsely, she really couldn't believe that the teacher who had always respected her had really chosen to give up neutrality.

Unexpectedly, Bazemore laughed, "Elizabeth, didn't you understand what I said, I accepted the position of the new magic empire as the Duke of Magic, just like I have always been the protector of the north of the dark rising ~ Law, this does not mean that I will help them, I will always be neutral between you." And you, Elizabeth, depend on you for the rest. ”

"Rely on me?" Elizabeth did not understand.

"There's no point in you staying in Oakland any longer, Elizabeth, and I suggest you take the Sunset Mountains to the Merchant Alliance at once. There, there are also magicians in the Shangmeng, and they also need the help of magicians like you. Elizabeth, you can't find help in Desik anymore, your way out is in the business alliance!"

"But, Shang Alliance, will they believe me?"

"Trust me, yes, they'll trust every magician who goes to the Shangmeng to help. Bazemore, serious about the application, said solemnly.

"What are you going to do, teacher?"

Bazemore didn't speak, but raised his hand and waved, and Elizabeth felt the magical elements in the air suddenly boil, and black space appeared in front of her.

"This, magical space?" Elizabeth didn't quite understand what the teacher meant.

"Remember the story of Tanatos and Hypnos? From this day onwards, I will close the castle of Auckland, and I will retreat in the secret realm of space magic. Elizabeth, the future is your business, and I won't interfere anymore, but don't worry, the path I chose for you may already be the smoothest one, trust me. ”

Thinking back to the previous conversation, Elizabeth was a little depressed. Although Bazemore was his own teacher, what he had done over the years seemed to be fraught with contradictions.

When Edward VI staged a coup d'état, he chose to help himself and Earl Norton, but this help was limited, when Earl Norton turned to him for help, he persuaded Earl Norton to leave, and now, the Rise of Darkness has seized control of the countries of the continent, and he chooses to give up fighting against it, immersed in his own magical space.

"Teacher, what kind of person are you? I really don't understand!" Elizabeth thought inwardly, hoping to figure out a reasonable explanation for Bazemore's actions, "Will you help me, or Desik, or help the Magic Empire?"

But there is no way, the reason that can't be figured out will never be figured out. Elizabeth had already left Auckland City by this time. Following Bazemore's instructions, he is now heading to the last enemy of the Magic Empire on the continent, the Shang Alliance. There, the Shang Alliance is in dire need of excellent magicians to fight against the Magic Empire, but I don't know if the Shang Alliance will accept them?

Amid contradictions and worries, Elizabeth embarks on a journey south.

At the same time, in the Merchant Alliance's Mister City, Xiao Mu and Monica formed the Merchant Alliance's own team of magicians. Xiao Mu's statement is not wrong, in the territory of the Shang League, once there is a formal call, countless magicians hidden in the folk will naturally appear. This surprised the elders of the Adventurer's Guild.

"I didn't expect that there were so many magicians in our Shang Alliance, what were they doing before?" the chief elder asked Xiao Mu very depressedly.

"Elder, don't think about it so much. Magicians have their own way of survival, and it is easy for them to hide if they want to. Moreover, if you are not a magician, you naturally don't know that for an elemental awakener, the inheritance of his blood talent will be passed on forever, and the awakening of the elements does not require any conditions at all. When the time comes, it will naturally awaken. ”

"Duke Namu, how did you awaken your talent back then?" the Chief Elder was unwilling.

"Haha, you don't believe it, this guy got into a fight with someone else, broke someone's arm and then used healing to pick it up again. Then threaten others not to speak out, otherwise they will strip his family of the title of nobility. Monica on the side explained with a grin.

This time it was Xiao Mu's turn to be surprised, "Sister, how do you know? I didn't tell you about it!"

Monica laughed, "Because, this guy who broke his arm by you also broke his arm back then! He came to me and cried, hahahahaha!"

The chief elder looked at the pair of siblings helplessly, and had nothing to say. Indeed, as they say, the awakening of the magical element will not be suppressed by the so-called secular rules. Perhaps, the Continental Convention has been binding on magic for too long to cause this riot to break out.

However, I don't know if these so-called "magicians" recruited can cope with the invasion of the Magic Empire.
