"You're an archmage now, why do you suddenly want to be a priest of the temple? Siegel looked at Wendy, who was standing quietly in the room, and patiently persuaded her.

Red the Golem has left, and he welcomes like-minded fellow priests, so he's been enthusiastically preparing a place for Wendy. As a golem, it doesn't need to rest, it just needs to have a quiet corner to pray. Wendy has her own residence in the city, but she has indicated that she wants to stay in the temple for a while now.

There was nothing in the temple except for the reliefs on the walls and a few ever-bright lamps, like an empty warehouse, lifeless and lifeless. The dwarven runes on the walls absorb the sunlight from outside and transfer it indoors, casting a soft glow from the ceiling. But this light could not dispel the purity, order, and indifference of the temple.

Siegel is the second light source in the room - if you use psionic vision or detection magic to observe. The elemental power slowly emanated from him, and the spell and divine power were mixed in with it. Those who are sensitive to magic will feel close to some kind of heat source, which will make the skin sweat slightly, but it will never hurt.

Wendy was much quieter than him, her hands folded in front of her, her head bowed away from Siegel's eyes, and instead staring in the direction of his heart. Legend has it that staring at the gods will be controlled, or at least seduced or hypnotized. Wendy didn't know if her protective spells would have avoided that, but she was determined to do so.

"I chose to become a priest of the god of magic and was willing to give everything to the god of magic. It doesn't matter if there is magic or not, the important thing is that it is my own choice. In doing so, I can gain peace of mind and regain the vitality of life. ”

"It's not going to come to fruition. Siegel said in as soft a tone as he could, but there was always a cruel indifference in his voice.

"Yes, you can't give me a result anyway, so does it make a difference what I do?" Wendy clenched her fists hard, her nails digging into the skin of her palms. She raised her head vigorously and focused all her energy on looking directly into Siegel's eyes: "As a friend of the Federation, you are not qualified to stop me; as the lord of Heim Lord, you should be glad that there is an archmage in the temple; and as a god of magic, can you deny my determination and sincerity? What is the reason why you are stopping me here? Are you disguised your inner joy as guilt? Siegel, you are too much to control! I am going to be a priest, not rushing to give birth to you!" The boy in Myr who used paint to change the color of his hair and eyes...... I'm not even as good as her!"

"You...... I ......" Siegel hesitated, but finally didn't dwell on the topic. "Okay, in that case, you can be here if you want to be here, I'm really talking too much, and I'm too wide!"

He turned and walked away, leaving the temple without looking back. Wendy shouted out behind him, "Siegel, as a human being, you're a jerk!"

Siegel didn't have to look back to see Wendy's silent tears, he raised his hand, the spell to modify his memory was on his lips, it wasn't that hard to make things change the way he wanted. But if this spell is cast, the majesty of God overshadows the mortal nature of man.

He finally lowered his hand, sighed, and teleported out of his temple.

The news of the establishment of the Temple of Magic spread quickly, but it was far less amazing than the news that Marquis Siegel Squid had become the God of Magic. The polarized attitude towards this matter is unbelievable on the one hand, and on the other hand, it arouses the ambition of many people to become gods.

After all, in the entire history of the Thunder Wall Continent, this is the first time that it is clear that someone has become a god, overcoming an obstacle that everyone originally thought was insurmountable. Someone began to ask the priest about the location of the gods. Some people even delusionally believe that as long as they can stab the previous gods to death, they can automatically take over as new gods.

This made Siegel a little unexpected, he didn't expect that human ambition could be so big. The other gods are far away in their own kingdom, and they don't have the ability to travel in the plane, and it's all delusional to get close to them. However, everyone knows where the magic god is, so many people came to Myr City to assassinate Siegel.

This is an act of complete futility. One of the abilities of the gods is to perceive what is going to happen to them. This does not require the prophecy to support it, as soon as someone mentions their name or name, God immediately knows what that person is saying and what he is going to do. When the gods are immersed in this state, all information is not missed. But Siegel obviously didn't want to be bothered by this kind of thing all day, and since they wanted to assassinate him, let's try it.

People who are really capable weigh the pros and cons and at least make a plan for their actions. Those who crashed headlong into Myr were pure idiots. Heim's city defense forces were elite under Hum's training, and nearly a third of them had received basic magical training, and it was still difficult for them to cast simple spells with the spell staff. Simple stealth and stealth could not escape their detection, and the soldiers who were all equipped with firearms were amazingly combative. Most of the invaders were brushed down in this level, and their ending was relatively better, at least most of them survived.

Those "elites" who were able to avoid the soldiers found themselves confronted with the double barrier of elemental rune warriors and lamp gods. They easily saw through the disguise and pulled out all the enemies who had infiltrated Castle of Myr. All of them were eventually hanged on the execution ground, and their bodies were burned to ashes and sprinkled in the River of Shields.

Only one man infiltrated Siegel's side. He didn't come to Myr after Siegel became a god, but he started his stealth operation very early. She started as a washerwoman and went through almost all the work on the periphery of the castle before she was transferred to Janet to help take care of baby Meghan.

If it weren't for the occasional hostile gesture she showed at the mention of Siegel's name, she wouldn't have been detected. Siegel didn't focus on listening to mortal gossip, but the hostility at such a close distance caught his attention.

With just one look, she did it all. As one of the "cats" cultivated by Wikimed, she is tasked with spying on Siegel for any disobedient behavior. But it's hard to explain how the hostility came about, so Siegel didn't let her go, and directly dug up her memories with a spell.

Not only did he see Vikki, but he also saw Riel, and together they gave her a task. "Find out where I really are, and preferably keep me in Myr forever?" the female spy had a pain-twisted expression on her face, and her whole body was sweating as if she had been washed with water. Her heart was beating to the point of bursting, and her mind was already blurred. Siegel heals her and makes sure she doesn't die from torture, while continuing to strengthen the spell's power.

As far back as he recalls, Leel had given clear instructions not to harm Siegel's wife and children, lest it lead to a full-scale conflict. Rather than being a loyal nobleman of the kingdom, he was more concerned about where the dice were stored. He also instructed the spy to be close to Siegel and preferably his secret mistress.

In Myr City, there should be more than one person arranged by Liel, and now that Liel is gone, some people may abandon the mission, but maybe some will lose their restraints and threaten Janet, Isaac, and Meghan. Taking advantage of the opportunity to count the number of residents, Janet and Manna work together to clear out a lot of possible spies in Myr City.

There were more than 130 people, including special spies, and people who sold information for money and other purposes, including a few nobles. The men would spend at least a year in prison, and several craftsmen who had leaked blueprints for firearms were beheaded for public display.

It's all Siegel's lordship, but from the inhabitants' point of view, it's a murderous operation. Heim has always ruled more modestly, preferring to do things slower and more delicately to take care of as many people as possible. From the expulsion of the inhabitants of the rune walls, the authority of the lord must be enforced, and there must be no opposition within the realm.

"I decided to transfer the lord's power to Isaac within a year, and then ...... Then I'm going to concentrate on the Wall of Storms. Siegel convened a small council, and he did not hide this from his son. In fact, he looked at the surprised expression on Isaac's immature face, and he was actually quite happy in his heart. Perhaps the little one thought that his father would never die, and that he would never have to inherit the entire Heim Domain.

"My lord, Isaac is not yet eight years old, so maybe it would be better to give him a city or a job running some aspect of Myr City first. "Denis was dressed in a beautiful aristocratic attire, and his mustache was neatly trimmed. By managing and participating in the foreign trade of the Heim Domain, the former Bucktooth sailors are now the richest men in the Heim Domain. "I think it's better to start with business, which can greatly broaden your horizons. Otherwise, it is okay to start with Mana-sama's army, which is a very important link. ”

"No, there's no need to waste that time, I've made up my mind. Siegel looked at his son and said solemnly to him, "I know very well that this is a bit difficult, but you are not alone. My current status is not suitable for calling the shots as a lord for a long time, you must know that divine power can easily affect the thinking of ordinary people. I will hand over all the things that belong to mortals to avoid excessive interference from divine powers. But don't worry, I'm not leaving you, I'm just going to keep a distance from the trivia of Heim's collar. ”

"Heim has been developing very well, and as long as you don't rush it, this trend can be maintained. The Temple of Magic will be the guarantor of the vitality of the Heim Territory for a long time. Isaac, I don't require you to be a good warrior or a good mage, but as a lord, you need to know all these things. ”

"I'll try, father. Isaac's palms were sweaty, but his voice sounded confident.

Manna looked at Isaac, then turned to Siegel, "Lord Lord, will there be paladins in the magic temple?" I mean to pick some and send them to the temple and bind them with stricter doctrines. ”

Siegel thought for a moment, then nodded: "Paladins can have them, but they can't be cultivated as combat effectiveness, at most as ceremonial troops or guard troops, the number should not exceed thirty, choose which people to go to Mana and you will be responsible." There's no need to worry about this, after all, I don't even have a few priests, and the temple is just an empty shelf. ”

"With a true god in charge, how can it be an empty shelf?" Manna smiled and happily continued the task.

Manna had her own plan in mind, and she only dared to think about it secretly, and no one told her. After hearing that Mage Wendy had joined the Temple of Magic as a priest, she decided to take action. Siegel's Heim Territory was strong enough that she didn't need to continue to protect it. And as a female knight, although she is trusted by the squid family, she will still be subject to a lot of difficulties in her daily life.

Of course, this kind of obstacleism is never direct and obvious. Knights and nobles remained a man's world, and many privately believed that Mana's ability to become the battlefield commander of the Acting Lord and Heim's army was due to her earlier allegiance and prettier face. Although Manna has been trying, learning from experienced warriors, knights, and various book materials, prejudice has always followed her gender and will not disappear because of hard work.

This kind of life is very distressing for her, but the most uncomfortable thing for her is her feelings for Siegel. In fact, she is not sure if this is love, but it is based on absolute trust, which is definitely much higher than friendship. The part of her personality as a mercenary makes her want to love like a moth to a flame, but the part that belongs to a knight reminds her of honor and restraint.

It's not that no one pursues her, and many times Manna oscillates between being too lazy to say yes and too lazy to wait. Now she has a solution that will allow her to live a purer life. When it came time to choose a paladin for the Temple of Magic, she put herself in.

"How can this be?" Siegel still knew about this through the Golem Red, so he questioned him, "Manna is one of the knight lords of the Heim Realm, with fiefs and castles, how can you let her lose all this to become a paladin?"

"Manna gave it all up herself, I thought you knew. Red froze for a moment, clay hands scratching his head. "Isn't it you the lord she is loyal to, and she wouldn't have come to the temple if you hadn't approved all this?"

"Where's she? Forget it, I know. With a flick of his wrist, Siegel teleported himself.

Despite not having this feature, Golem Red wiped the muddy water from his forehead.

Dressed in the same sacrificial robes as the priest, Mana quietly gathered a pot of flowers. Siegel only built the main part of the temple, and the roads and vegetation on the periphery were complete, but there was no decoration in the temple. It was as empty as a tomb. Red was busy hosting the faithful and selecting the priests, so most of the odd and bits were left to the paladins.

Siegel was about to call Manna over, but saw Wendy also walking over with a pot of flowers. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and soon they were talking and laughing together. It's rare to see them outside of the temple, at least never with Wendy.

Now go out and get them away? Siegel knew he could do that, but he shouldn't. He sighed and hid away from his temple. (To be continued.) )
