Chapter 68: Secret (Today's Third Update)
Mai Ke's gaze swept over Lu Sen, Jing Yun, Sang Fei, and Ling Feng's faces one by one, and the ardent expectations contained in them shocked the hearts of the four of them, and they couldn't help but lower their heads and said in unison: "Listen to the teachings of the master!"
"Good, good, good!" Mai Ke smiled happily, he had long seen the vague contradictions between these apprentices: Lu Sen had been raised by himself since he was a child, he was the closest to him, and he had a natural rejection of the rest of his junior disciples; Jing Yun had always had a prejudice against Sang Fei, and he was the lowest in cultivation, although his talent in the source array was excellent, but there was always a deeply hidden sense of inferiority; Sang Fei was too aristocratic and arrogant; Ling Feng seemed to be gentle and had no quarrel with anyone, but in fact he was the most proud in his heart! Unexpectedly, through this accident, the four apprentices were truly united-
Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are golden!
"Okay, you guys stand down," Mai Ke waved his hand, pointed at Ling Feng again, and said, "Feng'er stays." ā
Jing Yun made a mischievous gesture towards Ling Feng, took the initiative to carry Sang Fei, and walked towards the quiet room. After the three apprentices left, Mai Ke quietly took out a jade flake-like item and handed it to Ling Feng: "Feng'er, you take this." ā
Ling Feng took it suspiciously, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it clearly, and looked at Mai Ke in disbelief: "This, this is-"
"Take it. Mai Ke closed his eyes slightly: "The shock caused by your injury this time is too great, with this magic seal, your safety in the future will be more or less guaranteed, and it is not so simple for anyone to assassinate you!"
What Mai Ke gave to Ling Feng turned out to be the French seal!
Feeling the vast fire system Yuan Force coming from the magic seal in his hand, Ling Feng easily guessed that this magic seal must have been condensed by Mai Ke himself. I thought that Lu Sen had said that only elemental Skywalkers above the nine-star level could condense the Law Seal, and they could only condense such a seal in their lifetime! Even if Mai Ke became a Sanctuary in the future, it would be impossible to condense the second one!
A complete magic seal contained the most powerful attack of the elemental Skywalker's life, and with this in hand, it was indeed as Mai Ke said, it would not be so simple for anyone to be unfavorable to Ling Feng.
"Master!" Ling Feng's lips trembled, and his expression changed slightly. At this moment, he felt Mai Ke's unreserved care, and he finally truly recognized this master.
Mai Ke heard the unprecedented sincerity in his call, Rao is life experience a lot, his heart has long been tempered with incomparable tenacity, and Mai Ke also found that he was a little out of breath. He wanted to say something, but he wasn't good at it. For a moment, the great joy clashed with his long-standing indifference, making McCo's expression look extremely strange.
"Apprentice can't accept it," At this moment, Ling Feng finally called himself "apprentice", and deep down he really accepted Mai Ke, he refused: "It is more appropriate for such a valuable thing to be handed over to the second senior brother." ā
Mai Ke smiled slightly: "Sen'er, they always like to talk behind their backs that they are very partial to you, in fact, they are really partial to you, do you know why?" Without waiting for Ling Feng to answer, he explained to himself: "Originally, I thought of accepting you as an apprentice because your talent in cultivating elemental true martial arts is really amazing, and for so many years, that little girl from the old lion family can compare to you! I once said when I was in Duobao Pavilion that it is possible for you to fulfill your wish on my behalf - to become a Sacred Realm Elemental Skywalker!"
Ling Feng was suddenly shocked, although the founder had said that he would definitely be able to win the Holy Domain in the future, but when he heard the expectations of himself from the mouths of others, Ling Feng still felt extremely shocked.
"Putting aside your terrifying talent in refining seals, this alone is enough to ensure that you have a lofty status in the Star Blue Principality!, do you understand?" Seeing Ling Feng nodding, Mai Ke smiled: "You don't really understand what it means to be a teacher, if you become a Sacred Realm Elemental Skywalker, it means more than just one more Zhenguo master to the Principality!"
Mai Ke didn't seem to see Ling Feng's doubts, but instead said something that seemed to be unrelated: "The Divine Death Continent can be roughly divided into four parts from the power to which it belongs, the Oro Empire and the Fashen Empire face off from the north and south, the north of the Fashen Empire is a vast and boundless endless wasteland, and the southern border with the Auror Empire is bordered by the Beast God Plain. ā
"You should also know that the major forces in the Oro Empire are intricate, in fact, no matter which side of the force, no matter how independent he is, he must accept the command of the Oro Empire, and he must pay taxes to the Empire on time!" Speaking of this, Mai Ke's eyes suddenly lit up.
Ling Feng was taken aback, it was the first time he had heard this kind of statement, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Since the Oro Empire doesn't have direct leadership over these forces, why doesn't anyone resist and don't pay?"
As if he had already guessed that Ling Feng had this question, Mai Ke said with a jealous expression: "It's not that no one has tried, but the forces that have tried have only one end - all the marks on this continent have been completely erased!"
Ling Feng gasped, and a chill filled his heart!
"Although I don't know why the Oro Empire allowed so many forces to exist instead of unifying them, after countless large and small struggles, all the forces began to learn to behave, and understood that they could not fight against the behemoth of the Oro Empire with their own strength, so they paid taxes according to the rules. Sometimes, the Oro Empire will issue some tasks down, and these forces will do their best to complete them. Over the years, the Oro Empire has accumulated incredible wealth!" Although Mai Ke's tone was indifferent, there was obviously an invisible resentment in it: "According to the rules of the empire, as long as there are two Sacred Domain powerhouses in a certain force at the same time, one is an elemental Skywalker and the other is a material Skywalker, you can apply to the empire for a large part of the tax reduction, and even raise the level to the 'kingdom' level!"
Ling Feng suddenly understood why with the scale of the power of the Star Blue Principality, it was still only a "principality", and it was not worthy of being listed among the four major kingdoms, it turned out that all of this had to rely on the Oro Empire to canonize it!
"Now you should understand your usefulness to the Principality of Star Blue, right?" A faint smile appeared on the corner of McKe's mouth, and he made a rare joke: "Your serious injury this time has scared many people, and the king would even rather exchange his life for your safety! So, in order not to give everyone the opportunity to hurt you again, you should keep this magic seal by your side." ā
"That'sāI thanked my master. After understanding the stakes, Ling Feng was not pretentious and directly reached out to take it.
"This time I really troubled a lot of people because of your assassination, and you will go to your senior sister later, and she will explain it to you in detail. There are some favors that can be paid off by Yuanli Pagoda for you, while others require you to run in person. ā
Ling Feng respectfully replied, what Mai Ke said belonged to "human debts", and when he thought of the black jade intermittent ointment of the Oro Chamber of Commerce, Ling Feng was a little big.
(I don't update a lot of words per chapter, and minus my love of bits and pieces at the end of the chapter, the actual word count is only in the early 2,000s.) If I want, I can inject water, describe the surrounding scenes during the battle, explain more about the composition of the moves, and further refine the tone and demeanor of the characters during the dialogue, so that there is no problem in adding a few hundred words per chapter to make up three thousand. But ā does it make sense?
I want every chapter I update to be a way for everyone to see the content, the real content!
I treat my book friends with sincerity, and you repay me with sincerity, so that's enough!)
