Chapter 583: Early Stage
After thinking about the path forward and the fate of the temporary helplessness, the legendary mage must also clarify how his initial development will be.
As the so-called good start is half the success, even if the legendary strong man theoretically has no limit on lifespan, but the existence of the long river of fate still makes any self-motivated strong man have to seize all the time to become stronger, and punk of course also needs an excellent "start" to lay the foundation.
After all...... According to his decision not to obey the "interference of the long river of fate", I am afraid that there will be many times to develop peacefully, and it is really necessary to ensure that the best initial development is chosen!
Joining other legendary organizations is definitely not possible, punk can't look down on those "cowardly" groups where every legendary professional is required to be in a semi-secluded state, but even if they have the heart to create a legendary organization that can help themselves, punk, who has just been promoted to legend, does not have the corresponding capital and strength.
So, in the end, Punk decided to honestly control an imperial country step by step, and then make himself the protector of this imperial country - I believe that by absorbing the wealth of an imperial country, the initial development problem can be solved, and this ...... It is also the best choice for most legendary powerhouses with some ambitions.
Generally speaking, there are no more than three reasons why a legendary professional becomes the protector of a certain imperial country - faith, bonds, and wealth.
Most of the legendary priests are in response to the needs of their churches to spread their faith, after all, even if most of the gods who still have self-consciousness are not willing to spread their faith, but in the face of fate, it is still necessary to send their own church's "trump card" to behave.
Most of the fighters are because they have a deep relationship or even a bond with a certain country, and they become strong protectors of the country for their own feelings and spiritual sustenance.
In the end, the reason why legendary spellcasters, especially neutral casters like Punk, became protectors is basically for the wealth that an imperial kingdom provides.
Don't think that those countries with ordinary people as the main body can't provide wealth to a legendary powerhouse, maybe for most of the warriors, the country they protect not only can't return a cent of useful property to themselves, but as a strong protector of the country, they must also take out some property to stick to the country.
But for a spellcaster...... Especially for spellcasters who are good at alchemy, even a country composed of ordinary people can reap a lot of fruits, after all, the characteristics of alchemy spells that turn decay into magic can never be underestimated.
For example, gold, an ordinary metal, can be refined into Adamantite, which is a relatively high-end magical material that can be used even at the legendary level.
For example, the various emotions of various intelligent creatures can also be collected in the hands of legendary mages and then refined into legendary-level materials, and the initial accumulation of wealth cannot ignore these trickles.
And the greatest and most valuable wealth a royal state can provide...... It has the souls of intelligent beings that die every day!
As early as the time of Netheril, the great masters had confirmed that the soul of intelligent beings was definitely a mysterious thing, and even the most pinnacle of divine throne-level power had never succeeded in revealing the mystery of the soul of even the most ordinary intelligent beings, and the souls of intelligent beings could always bloom in the hands of alchemists of different levels!
One million ordinary souls can be crafted into one million worthless "soul dust" by a mage apprentice, or they can be refined into an out-and-out legendary-level material magic - arcane soul spirit by a legendary-level sunburst archmage.
It is precisely because of the reason that the soul of intelligent creatures "depends on the level of the alchemist", even in the legendary level, the souls of a very large number of ordinary intelligent creatures are still very precious, and a mage like Punk who has a good practice of alchemy-based spells can use a large number of ordinary level intelligent creature souls to make hundreds of precious legendary-level magic materials, and the value of these magic materials is naturally self-evident.
As a newly promoted Legendary Spellcaster, the only way for Punk to continuously obtain a large number of souls is to control an Imperial Kingdom.
An imperial kingdom has a population of one or two hundred million, and there is no need to deliberately kill and harvest, these populations can provide punk with a lot of soul income by natural birth, old age, sickness and death every day, and all the legendary mage needs to do is to spend a little time arranging a large legendary-level magic circle to secretly store souls, as long as it is not too blatant, this kind of thing that is tacitly approved in the circle of legendary powerhouses will not attract nosy good camp gods at all.
Even when the soul is urgently needed for experiments or transactions, the legendary "protector powerhouse" can also let the imperial kingdom under his rule launch a large-scale war to quickly increase the death toll, and if he is not afraid of being approached by the legendary adventurer of the good camp, it is no problem to directly ask the imperial kingdom to take out the population for "sacrifice", after all, as the nominal "protector of the country" and the actual absolute ruler, the strength of the legendary professional is completely unquestionable for an imperial country, as long as he is not afraid of his "farmland" Crash, if it's ridiculous, no one will be able to take care of it!
Of course, the imperial kingdom is basically equivalent to a gold mine, and now the imperial kingdom on the plane of Faeron must be occupied by legendary mages, legendary warriors, or some legendary organizations and the church of the gods, and even in a sense, the reason why an imperial kingdom can always exist as an "imperial country" is because he has a strong protector to sit in charge of the country, and it will not take long for the "gold mine" without a legendary strong man to fall apart by itself.
It is precisely because of this that it is impossible for punks to find an imperial kingdom directly and conveniently and then complete the occupation, so good luck punks don't think they can touch it.
And it is too dangerous to forcibly kill the strong protector of an imperial country, and then grab the "wealth" of the enemy, which of the strong protectors of the imperial kingdom is not a real legendary professional. Punk, a "newcomer" spellcaster who has just advanced to the legend, does not have the capital of a hard-bar old legend.
In the end, Punk, who had been kneading his temples and thinking for several seconds, could only come up with the only way:
"Since there is no ready-made cake to swallow in one bite...... Then let's just make the cake ourselves, find a well-developed kingdom, and then help it rise to the throne, now it seems that this is the only way to go."
So, for the initial "development", Punk's plan has been preliminarily completed - find a well-developed kingdom, then invest in it, and finally get a royal kingdom ruled by himself, this is his idea.
Nodding earnestly, with the final plan completed, the caster's thinking about the three aspects that he had to do in the early stage of the legend was finally over, and he didn't know if all his choices were correct, but ............
Silently adding a few legendary-level sturdy enchantments to his master-level robes, the punk in the dark alchemy workshop whispered to himself:
"Well, the new world is already calling, and no one knows if their future is going well...... Now I just need to "move forward" with determination...... That's enough"!
