In the year 253 of the imperial calendar, the third and fourth obelisks were discovered one after another.

In the same year, Taclou was promoted to the fifth level of Magister.

The fourth layer of the magic net was then perfected.

The strength of the mages has reached a higher level, and under the impetus of Iliya, magic academies have spread all over the continent, and all nobles and commoners, humans and orcs are proud to be magicians.

A large number of magic apprentices appeared, using the spiritual power of meditation to promote the development and perfection of the magic net.

However, the fifth layer of the magic net represents the 'forbidden spell' level, which is not so easy to build.

In the year 256 of the Imperial Calendar, a major breakthrough in archaeology was revealed.

After the efforts of a large number of people, the magicians finally found the capital of the Zerg, a city submerged in the shallow sea.

A few days later, the two great magisters took action, and they forced out 10,000 tons of seawater, bringing the vicissitudes of the city back to light.

The birth of this relic is of great significance to the establishment of the magic net.

Six obelisks have been excavated.

These treasures of magicians have directly become the best guide for constructing the fifth layer of magic nets.

In addition, the magicians also learned some incredible magic and alchemy techniques.

Like what...... Floating City!

"Powered by the fifth-layer magic net! The mages could build a giant mage tower that flew into the sky...... This will be a city of magicians! ”

Illia excitedly announced this at the Wizards' Conference, and was determined to put it into action.

In the year 260 of the Empire, the fifth layer of the magic web was established.

On the outskirts of the imperial capital, the huge floating city has entered the final stage of construction.

Its main body was a mountain, cut off by magic, and turned upside down, creating a magical city on top of a smooth cut.

At this point, of course, it was still on the ground, waiting for Illiyah to perform the final 'lift-off' ceremony.

Even so, its majestic and tall body, as well as the city towering above, still overlooks the nearby imperial capital.

The magicians rushed to tell each other, and they were all very excited.

The nobles and superstring warriors had gloomy faces, and they vaguely felt that a new era was coming!

……

Inside the Royal Palace.

Emperor Justinian was now gray-haired and old.

But today, he still wears a gorgeous robe, and his hair is meticulously combed.

"Honey, do I look good in this necklace?"

The Imperial Empress Lindsay walked in in a mage robe, her face still looking youthful and middle-aged due to the use of magical potions.

Being with Justinian the Great is like father and daughter.

"You're still so beautiful......"

Justinian looked at Lindsay with an unusually complicated gaze.

Immediately, he clapped his hands and was offered two glasses of wine: "Haven't you recently fallen in love with Maria's sigh, a kind of champagne from the south?" I've got a royal château built in particular, and you can taste the champagne from it. ”

"Oh?"

Lindsay's eyes lit up: "Maybe we can use this ...... for the banquet in the future"

She picked up her glass and took a sip: "Well, it tastes very good, I like it very much." ”

"If you like it......"

Justinian's gaze turned cold and he clapped his hands.

All around, a magic symbol suddenly lit up, representing 'isolation'.

"Huh?"

Lindsay's expression changed, and immediately she felt two lines of warmth flow down her nose, and she wiped it, it was blood.

"Poison can murder the first generation of heroes and kings, but it can't murder legends, thanks to magicians, this poisonous ...... against legends can be purified"

Justinian's gaze was cold: "A fourth-level magician, of course, is not a problem. ”

"Your Majesty...... Do you want to go to war with the magician? Lindsay's body was numb, but her strong spirit still supported her to speak.

She looked at the person next to her with disbelief in her eyes.

Justinian grimaced: "I don't want to start a war with the magician, but your teacher has been forcing me!" Now some people call her the Demon King...... If you want to build a city that only belongs to magicians, should you change the name to 'Magician Emperor'? Where did she place me and my empire, and the many nobles and superstring warriors? ”

"You will be destroyed......"

Lindsay couldn't hate it anymore and fell softly.

"If this is the fate of the Empire, I choose to accept it!"

Justinian looked at the dead Lindsay and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, it's time for us to act!"

At this time, two people appeared behind him, both of them were superstring warriors, and they were of the legendary level!

Since the last time he was forced to allow Ilia to see the first obelisk, Justinian the Great broke Jupiter's iron law and sent trusted heroes to observe the obelisk.

Now, there are finally two people who have broken through!

The support of the nobles, the support of the superstring warriors, and the two legendary warriors, these are all the confidence of Justinian to break with the magician!

"So, let's go according to plan!"

Justinian took a deep breath and commanded, "You ...... How sure are you? ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have also studied defensive magic, and have done experiments, maybe the legendary warrior is not as good as the forbidden spell in terms of simple destruction range, but it is difficult for the mage to resist the close attack!"

The two legendary warriors bowed and said.

"Very good...... You must act before the power of the mage becomes unstoppable! ”

Justinian said firmly.

He already smelled something bad.

Once the fifth-layer magic net is completely perfected, with the floating cities, then his empire will be a joke!

……

Floating inside the city.

"I see it...... Darkness is coming...... Blood and fire continue to spread in the imperial capital......"

Taclau had a crystal ball in front of him and muttered to himself.

"Sure enough...... The aristocrats are going to do it. ”

A sneer appeared on Iliya's face: "I have concealed the prophecy magic, and it really works!" ”

Silent Taclou, looking at the leader of all magicians, the Wizard King.

I knew in my heart that although the movements of the nobles were secret, they were actually forced by Iliya.

She deliberately did this in order to provoke the nobles to revolt, so as to have an excuse to completely purge and complete the transfer of power.

"Why do you want to do this, we have a good cooperation with the nobles, and magicians don't need fiefdoms......"

Tacloo asked his doubts.

"I used to think so, but the construction of the magic web is too slow...... In particular, the fifth and sixth layers...... And figuring out the obelisk, let me gradually grasp the key to it, the current extent, is already the limit of magicians, but there are still many people on this continent, and we must make full use of it in order to speed up the construction of the magic net, so that it can break away from the entity and become the rule. Illia replied, "And the key to that is faith!" ”

"Faith?"

Tacloo understands that the essence of mages is to trade with magic nets and extract spells, and if the civilians with the largest base can collect spiritual power, it will be a huge income, but there is no expenditure.

And to control this, it is necessary to violate the power of the Empire!

Between the two, the contradictions are irreconcilable and have become enemies!
