Chapter 0791 - Sending Off
Imperial calendar, 218 years.
Contrary to expectations, Jupiter did not go north to conquer the magicians, nor did he dispose of the nobles from the north, and seemed to have reached some compromise.
Gradually, bad news came out of the palace.
A generation of legends who have ruled the empire for more than two hundred years, the Mercenary Emperor, seems to have really come to the end of his life!
……
Sulu wears a white tunic and walks into a garden.
The yellow leaves laid a thick layer on the ground, and the sunlight shone on it, with a luster like broken gold.
On a recliner not far away, an old man was lying.
His hair was gray, his face was wrinkled, and his legs were covered with a thick blanket, which was none other than Jupiter, who knew how old he was.
Only the light in the eyes is still bright.
There should have been guards all around, but at this time, no one came out to stop Sulu from approaching.
Hearing the footsteps, Jupiter turned his head, and his eyes first appeared in disbelief, and then he suddenly became abrupt again, and whispered, "Teacher...... There you are? Are you here to see me off? ”
He smiled to himself: "I have long thought that you are a little strange, it seems that ...... Many doubts can be solved today...... I have a lot to ask you. ”
"Yes...... I'm here to see you off. ”
Sulu stood beside Jupiter, looked out at the garden with him, and sighed faintly.
"I'm going to die......" Jupiter seemed to say to an outsider.
"You suppress the contemporary, but you can't escape the passage of time...... After the legend, there is obviously a way, but you don't even have a few obelisks, and you don't try your best to collect them...... It is only now that the obelisk of the Zerg has been born for the second time......"
Sulu sighed.
"Extraordinary power should not be in the hands of mortals...... I used to think that my strength was enough, but I didn't expect that a magician would emerge in my later years, and at this time, even if I wanted to improve, it would be too late......"
Jupiter didn't have much regret either: "And ...... I am not afraid of death, but of loneliness...... Teacher, like me, you can feel the horror of people who know you dying of old age one by one......"
"You are a good emperor, you have given the mainland peace for two hundred years!" Sulu commented lightly.
"The only regret, or worry, is the magicians......" Jupiter smiled wryly.
Sulu knew that after defeating Phil, Jupiter had traveled to the North on his own, spying on Ilia and Taclou outside the Mage's Tower.
It's a pity that he didn't have the confidence to suppress the two people who had the mage tower amplification, so he didn't choose to do it.
In fact, if you launch an imperial army to attack the north at all costs, it is still possible to wipe out the magicians, but I don't know how long the battle will last, and I don't know how many people will die.
Jupiter was reluctant to do so.
"It's all your descendants......"
Sulu shook his head: "Anyway...... You've got it all arranged, haven't you? ”
Even if Jupiter no longer has feelings for those descendants, for the sake of the stability of the empire, he must still choose the most suitable one and become the emperor.
"Sure enough...... I can't hide anything from you, teacher! ”
Jupiter looked up with difficulty and stared at Sulu: "But...... I still have a lot of questions, like, who are you? What is the purpose? And why...... Chose me? And also...... Does the appearance of the magician have anything to do with you? ”
"Hehe......"
Sulu smiled but didn't answer.
"So...... You're ...... me Disappointed? Jupiter asked again.
"Everything, it's your choice, I've never been disappointed......" Sulu said calmly.
"That's good......"
Jupiter lowered his head, his voice deepening.
Sulu could clearly see that the flame of his life was getting dimmer and dimmer, and finally extinguished.
"Go ...... well"
Looking at his student, Sulu waved his hand: "And...... O Jupiter...... Death is not the end of everything, but perhaps just a new beginning......"
Two hundred years of governance, two hundred years of invincibility, two hundred years of legends!
At this time, the mercenary emperor is completely the faith of the whole empire!
There is no problem with this accumulated wish power, not to say that he has become a god, but at least to become a 'heroic spirit'.
The so-called 'Heroic Spirit', in Sulu's opinion, is a very powerful spirit, and it can even be said that the Divine Reserve, which is very similar to the 'Arcane Spirit' back then.
Under his gaze.
A new figure emerges from Jupiter.
In addition, all the old age has disappeared, and he has completely recovered the peak of his youth.
The 'Heroic Spirit' looked at Sulu and wanted to say something.
But before he could speak, he was sucked into the ground by a force.
"The establishment of the 'underworld', the sanctuary of the soul, needs to be put on the agenda...... I don't know what Jupiter's expression will be when he sees a barren underworld......"
Sulu chuckled and vanished.
At this time, some guards realized that something was wrong, and they came quickly, and a kind of noise suddenly spread throughout the palace.
……
In the year 218, the mercenary emperor Jupiter Morich ended his legendary life.
He arranged everything during his lifetime, and the succession of the new emperor did not have the slightest wave, and several careerists were quickly suppressed, and the end was miserable.
A new page has been turned in history.
……
North, Mage's Tower.
Illiya was wearing a mage robe, and her appearance had not changed much from before, but her temperament was more mature.
In front of her, images emerged of the Wizard Academy built in the surrounding area.
After several enrollments, there were more than 200 members at this time.
The apprentices of that year, such as Alexander, Lindsay, Damy, Ted, Rusoff, Richie, and others, had all completed their trials and became full-fledged magicians, and most of them remained in the academy to teach, except for a few who had left the academy.
At this point, it's time for another year to recruit new blood.
"The power of legends, it's terrifying......"
Ilia didn't know how long it had been since she had left the range of the Mage Tower.
But last time, the faint confrontation and Taclau's prophecy made her know that once they left the Mage Tower, something very bad would happen.
"Ilia!"
Taclou hurried in: "Something is wrong!" ”
"Phil found it?" Iliya hurriedly asked.
"No...... It was the mercenary Emperor Jupiter...... He...... Finally dead! ”
Takelau has a long exit airway.
"Your Majesty......"
Iliya's eyes became a little confused: "No one can deny the merits of the mercenary emperor's life, and his brilliant exploits will still be remembered by people and sung for bards thousands of years later......"
"But...... He's still dead...... Such a hero is still no match for the erosion of time......"
Taclau said, "This world ...... It's ours! ”
