"Don't be too nervous. Winnie waved her hand. She had already noticed that the two in front of her seemed to be overreacting.

"You can see that you have undergone a metamorphosis. She was referring to the Light Sage's sudden increased comprehension of the light element during his previous battles.

"The priests of the Martin Empire said to the low-ranking citizens, 'God said, let there be light,...... and there was light in the world," Lin Li and the Light Sage both heard Winnie's disdain when she said this. Obviously, in the realm of Vinnie, she would never believe in the existence of gods. They prefer to believe in the power in their hands.

"The power of light has never been synonymous with power. And in your light, I feel pure grandeur and power...... "Don't get me wrong, this won't be a good adjective." Especially in front of a top-tier Heavenly Rank like Vinnie. No matter how strong the light power of the light sage is, can it surpass Vinnie's magic?

"If I'm not mistaken, you've even added the power of starlight to your magic, right?"

"That's right......" the Sage looked nervous.

"I'm not saying you're doing it wrong. I have also fallen into such a misunderstanding, which is also the root cause of many pseudo-heavenly problems. Winnie laughed a little.

"Pseudo-Heaven Order?"

"It's just that to a certain extent, he has mastered the power of the rules, but he can't command the elements like a true Heaven Rank powerhouse. The Light Sage explained to Lin Li in a whisper.

"I see......" Lin Li touched his nose, as if thoughtful.

"Well, that's not a problem. The rule rune in your hand now should contain the guidance you need to break through the Heavenly Order. You can use it in the White Tower and step on the threshold of the Heavenly Ladder as soon as possible. In addition, William the Kid ......" Winnie clapped her hands and suddenly called Lin Lidao.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?" Lin Li looked flattered. I didn't expect that this top-level heaven-level powerhouse was running specifically for himself, and he didn't hesitate to make a big fuss about the imperial family.

Winnie's old but unpalely old face was covered with black lines. There were a few people who dared to look like this in front of her, let alone let her personally take shelter...... "Your meditation rules, isn't it time to be determined?"

This sentence suddenly showed the eyesight of a heaven-level powerhouse. Even the Light Sage didn't see that Lin Li was so bold that he still didn't have his own meditation method! If this happened to ordinary people, he would definitely be ridiculed to the core: who would joke about his own magic path! What a fool!

......

As we all know, the establishment of the meditation method is the only way for a mage to break through the magic master and complete further cultivation, it can bring more powerful power, more elemental affinity, and most importantly, it establishes a general tone for the future direction of magic cultivation for mages.

Just like the Shadow of the Void and the Credge of Light mentioned earlier, these two are the top meditation methods in the Barton Continent, and they have even reached an astonishing sixteen formulas. Being able to give the mage a makeover is an earth-shattering change. In Lin Li's memory alone, there are two or three extremely striking examples......

Age of Magic at its peak.....

Gary, an ordinary archmage in the City of Light of the Vessian Empire. In this city where light forges rules, there are countless strong people, all of whom have their own special inheritances. Some are skilled in magnificent giant magic, some are known for their elemental purity, and some are only secondary spells and healings, but these are not enough to overshadow their excellence...... This is the City of Light!

And this year, Gary, who has not yet broken through the Magister, seems to have had a lot of luck today...... It was as if he had found a meditation rule in a corner of the family. Gary didn't even know the quality of this meditation method, but after thinking about it, the family before the decline should still be very strong, right?

The main thing is that for Gary, who is destitute but unwilling to accept those cheap bounty tasks, he simply cannot buy the orthodox powerful (i.e., more than thirteen formulas) meditation rules...... As long as it worked, it solved his urgent need!, so he was ecstatic to use this meditation method.

That's right, it's the famous Crucible of Light with sixteen formulas......

Gary couldn't even tell how powerful this meditation method really was, he only knew that he seemed to be a completely different person, and it only took a few spell combos to kill himself a few days ago...... It only took two years for a near-invincible Holy Light Mage to appear in everyone's field of vision...... When his almost pure and extreme powerful magic almost drowned a dark powerhouse at the peak of the title Magister, the attention to him never stopped.

Ten years later, the Heavenly Rank powerhouse ...... Even in the third era of the peak of magic, the heaven-level powerhouse did not come out as soon as he said it, it was a realm that could not be piled up with time, and in ten years, he had completed all the paths of the titled demon master...... Isn't this a normal human being?

Knowing that Gary had stepped on the pinnacle of the Heavenly Ladder, the truth was revealed: the meditation method he had obtained by chance was the Crucible of Light. That's right, it's such an almost anti-heaven effect, so that it only took a few decades for the impoverished mage who was nearly thirty years old to break through the Magister to become the peak powerhouse of the Heavenly Rank who dominated the Barton Continent.

Lin Li, on the other hand, now has several sets of sixteen formulas in his meditation method, but he doesn't know which one to choose...... It dragged on to this day.

If such an incredible thing is worn out, even Winnie will probably point at his nose and scold him...... It is really resentful to have this kind of treasure trove-like accumulation, but he doesn't use it, and he is still bothering about it! You know, even if Lin Li closed his eyes, casually found a set of them, and used them on himself, he would definitely not be the strength he is now...... I'm afraid that even the fifth-level titled demon master will give him three points.

"I happen to have a couple of meditation protocols here. I still have some collections of such things here. Winnie picked a few random sets of storage rings from her body and threw them to Lin Li. The handiwork of a top-level heaven-rank powerhouse, if it weren't for encountering a monster like Lin Li, it would be shocking enough......

This casually threw at Lin Li's meditation rules, which did not even have less than twelve formulas...... You must know that it is only the first era, and the understanding of magic and elements by magicians is far from reaching a normal level. These sets of meditation rules represent the highest research on meditation rules by the mages of the entire Barton Continent!

If Lin Li's heart is a little darker and he takes it out and sells it, hundreds of millions are less......

"Anyway, that old guy takes special care of him, if you mess too badly, I'm afraid my life won't be too good. Winnie looked arrogant and said coldly to Lin Li. Only the concern in her eyes revealed her current mood.

"Thank you, Lady Winnie. "That's right, for the Heavenly Rank powerhouse, ordinary mages generally use the title of adult to express their respect for each other. Lin Li said solemnly, being able to help him like Vinnie is enough to be worthy of this thanks. Lin Li doesn't like to say meaty things very much, but Vinnie is kind to him, and he will remember it deeply.

"However, I really don't need any of this......" Lin Li smiled wryly at the corner of his mouth.

"You're crazy!" was the exclamation of the Light Sage......

The things that a top-level Heaven Rank powerhouse like Vinnie came up with, even if it was taken out casually, was enough to greatly benefit the mages below the Heaven Rank. And apparently, it was carefully selected by Winnie...... Ice, fire, wind and thunder, the four major magic elements, have even helped Lin Li remove the two attributes of light and darkness, each of which is only possible for the core disciples of the top forces in the continent......

"You just say that, don't you want it?" the light sage looked at Lin Li with a complicated expression. He only felt that he really couldn't understand the young people now...... "Aren't you afraid that this Vennie-sama will find you desperately?"

According to what the Light Sage knew about Vinnie, this proud Heavenly Rank powerhouse had never accepted such an insult.

The Light Sage knows much more about Winnie than Lin Li!~ Before Lin Li was born and crossed over, the Light Sage had already comprehended the fiery temper of this top Heaven Rank powerhouse...... This is also the reason why the Light Sage would never dare to refute any of Vinnie's words. Even if Winnie asked the Light Sage to take the White Tower to challenge the Temple of Light, he would probably rush over without saying a word...... There's no way, compared to the one in front of you, the Temple of Light is simply a kind little rabbit.

The Light Sage didn't even dare to look up at Winnie's expression, and directly buried his proud head as a pinnacle titled magister, like an ostrich, not touching the terrifying moment that was about to be.

"Huh?" the light sage waited for a long time, but did not hear the angry scolding he imagined......

He looked up, only to see Winnie frowning, looking at Lin Li. And Lin Li smiled bitterly, and also looked directly at this Heavenly Rank powerhouse who took care of himself.

"Are you sure?" asked Winnie, suspicious.

"Thank you, Lady Winnie. Lin Li's tone was firm, obviously not counting on it.

"Okay. Winnie didn't insist.

Of course, she didn't think that Lin Li could do anything better than her own meditation methods...... There are only a few top-level meditation methods, and Winnie thinks she is quite proficient. When he realized how wrong his choice was, he would naturally regret his decision......

"Forget it. You have your own ideas, and it's not easy for my old man to stick to it...... Hmm....." she thought for a moment, frowning. "I have one more thing here...... though"

She took out another item from the storage ring and threw it to Lin Li casually.

"What can be compared to the previous meditation method?" was the thought of the Light Sage...... After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see how valuable those meditation methods are......

Lin Li picked it up.

A notebook, a treasure map-like parchment, even with the ancient Barton script on it......

Lin Li himself does not know the ancient language of Barton. Even if you look for Barton, there will be few people who can understand and interpret this passage. However, this is what Winnie took out...... As a Heavenly Rank powerhouse, there is no doubt about her strength. Notes and translations have even been written on the side of these ancient Barton sayings.

After only a few glances, Lin Li's eyes widened! This is ......

"This is what I found before. It seems to be the treasure map of the meditation method of a certain heaven-level powerhouse before, if you are interested, you can explore it, put it here with me, my old man is too lazy to look for it. Winnie thought for a moment and explained to Lin Li. It's not that she doesn't want to tell Lin Li the exact location, but she doesn't know either......

With that, she flew away. "Recently, the emperor has been unstable, you guys have a snack,"

The sage looked solemn, and performed the etiquette that only mages can do when facing their teachers...... And Lin Li seemed to be enshrined.

In fact, he really knew the owner of this treasure map....... Even, he knows where the treasure is hidden and the treasure......

Lionheart's, the Law of Balance!

For a moment, Lin Li was so excited that he didn't know what to do to express his excitement. Simply, this is: if you want to sleep, there are beautiful women to help warm up!

This treasure map was the last piece of the puzzle for him to break through the Magister...... Moreover, his breakthrough will be perfect, with three sets of meditation rules, including the Law of Balance and two sets of top-notch meditation rules of sixteen formulas!

King Lionheart, the king of a kingdom at the beginning of mankind, and the name of this kingdom ..... All mages are familiar with it.

That's right, it's the Weiss Empire.

At that time, this future magical empire was just a small land, and among the many kingdoms, there was nothing conspicuous. There is even a danger of being annexed at any time.

After all, even if the ancient gods and demons are gone, it will not be a sudden dominance of the human family. Elves, dwarves...... Even hork-living monsters, they can threaten humans.

Whereas, meditation is ..... It is also clearly still in the real initial stage of development. It can even be said that the meditation rules of the three formulas are extremely good. This also expresses the extreme vulnerability of the mages of this time to a large extent.

Lionheart, on the other hand, is completely different from other human leaders, he is always on the front line of battle, leading his people to defend their homeland with magic...... This was quite unusual for those days. Mages with only three formulas of meditation rules, even if they are titled Magisters, will be afraid of Magister-level magical beasts.

And the slightest carelessness is the death of the emperor......

And unlike other emperors..... Even if the Lionheart King rushed to the forefront every time, he did not suffer a few injuries, and even, his strength continued to grow by leaps and bounds. That combat power, even a mage of a higher rank than him is far away.

"Why?"

I'm afraid that the mages of the entire Barton Continent want to ask him. Could it be that it is really blessed by some kind of gods, and luck surpasses ordinary people?

Well, in the days of Lionheart's life, no one dared to challenge his majesty and ask him such provocative questions.

It wasn't until he passed away that everyone discovered the secret that belonged to King Lionheart.

It's the Law of Balance: a powerful, special set of meditation rules that can be compatible with other meditation practices. And with this, Lionheart has a total of three sets of meditation rules, which add up to thirteen formulas.....

What is this concept? Even in the First Age where Lin Li is now, the mages' research on meditation rules is only normal, and the best meditation rules, taking the White Pagoda as an example, are the Grip of Light with nine formulas. This is already one of the most powerful meditation methods in the Barton Continent.

And in that barbaric era with three formulas per capita, being able to have twelve formulas is simply a monster.

Always, the law of balance is one that has great power, giving the mage the power to surpass almost everything.

In fact, Lionheart was born in the wrong era...... If he was born at the peak of magic, only two sets of medium-performance meditation methods would be enough to make him astonishing......

Think about it, what is the potential of a magician with more than thirty magic formulas?

And now, Lin Li is about to experience ......

It can be said that the map that Master Winnie casually threw to Lin Li was an "opportunity" for Lin Li....... A chance to break through the Magister in a perfect stance!

Theoretically, when a mage has the meditation rules of the thirty formulas, he has already stepped into the path of the mage god, and as long as he does not die in the process, the heavenly stage is only the beginning...... When he comprehended the true meaning of magic, the peak of the Heavenly Rank was just a mortal at the feet of the gods.

Lin Li even hugged it tightly to his chest with some nervousness, and nervously put it into the ring on his hand......

"No, it's just a treasure map. The Light Sage looked at Lin Li's style and said with some amusement. "Is there anything special about this treasure map?"

"Nope. ”

“......”

Lin Li believed that no mage could reject the meditation rules of the Thirty Formulas. So, even the Light Sage and Enis, he didn't intend to tell them the secret.

"My old man didn't bother to ask. The sage looked arrogant and stretched his waist. After Winnie was gone, the pinnacle of the title Magister began to call himself an old man again. "By the way, such a big thing happened in the imperial capital this time, I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have the heart to let you go to the tomb of Witherus, I'm afraid, the emperor will have a big change. ”

When the Sage of Light said this, he was very relaxed.

The Lincoln family and the William family have suffered a lot of blows this time. Although the Light Sage was said to be useless by Vinnie, the power of the pseudo-Heaven Rank powerhouse was not fake. Just the loss of the Titled Magister this time is enough for the two families to feel distressed. Not to mention, they also need to have a headache about how to fight against the Light Sage.

"The majesty of the empire brooks no provocation. This is the criterion for the Guangxian to judge the situation in the imperial capital. Under this criterion, it is not even a big deal to cooperate with the two major families. It's really going too far this time......

With a weird smile on his face, the two of them returned to the White Tower together.

......

Compared with these two, the most magnificent palace in the empire, the atmosphere is quite solemn.

"Say, what's the situation in the imperial capital!"

His Majesty patted the sumptuous table in front of him vigorously.

Looking at the slaughter on His Majesty the Emperor's face, many courtiers knew that they would definitely not be good today...... I'm afraid it's not, I'm going to see blood?!

They kept their heads down, pretending to be ostriches, and guessed in their hearts.

"This ...... Heaven level powerhouse, who can stop it? People can come and leave when they want to, and this is not something we can control at all. What's more, even His Excellency the Sage was injured by this......"

Their inner complaints are endless, but of course they can't say it out loud.

As for His Excellency the Sage, it refers to Joey, the heavenly powerhouse of the royal family.

"Speak, I don't want you to be any more cowardly than I think. Vess's expression was grim, and he had even taken it with him.

"This, Your Majesty, the defense of the imperial capital has always been the top priority, and the elite of the Storm Legion has assembled outside the city. At least, in terms of the army, they can't make any big waves......" The general of the imperial capital defense stood up and said. He never said who was going to make the waves.

"Hmm. And what?" His Majesty the Emperor knocked on the table.

"Uh...... I am afraid that the Lincoln family and the William family will not make any move, they have greatly demoralized today, and they will not be able to organize effective action in the short term. In fact, I'm more worried......" The Imperial Capital Commander's voice suddenly fell silent.

"North!"

"Northern ......"

The cancer deeply rooted in the empire, hovering in the north of the empire at this moment, but in the center, whether it is the imperial capital or others, they have never put their eyes on that wild land......

What if you say all this...... There is also something that makes His Majesty the Emperors deeply hate: the sky is high and the emperor is far away!

The territory of the empire is not unbounded, and tens of millions of hectares of vast land are pieced together to form this great empire. Well...... Probably no one will deny the strength of this empire, the magic concept it promotes, its technology and luxury, has even penetrated deeply into the continent of Barton, in the eyes of those weaker countries, the Viss Empire is the model they want to develop.

Even the super empire next to the Weiss Empire, the Martin Empire, a religious empire that has made its fortune on the light since the beginning of human history, will be afraid of the power of magic.

It is inconceivable that in the north of the empire, there are so many vast worlds that belong to the territory of the empire but are self-contained...... Years of self-sufficiency, the peasant and soldier system, have given them the capital to support themselves.

Perhaps, economically, they are not as strong as the central part of the empire, not as powerful as the southern provinces, and they can even be said to be vulnerable, but no one can deny that even with the strength of the empire at its peak, if you want to pull out this nail, you need to pay the determination and price of cutting off your own arms. And for today's Imperial Center...... As long as this group of people does not make trouble and can follow the orders of the Imperial Central Committee in written documents, it is already a matter of peace of mind......

His Majesty the Emperor looked a little sad......

Who doesn't have the desire to master the world? But to watch his empire be corrupted little by little, becoming stormy day by day...... Like an old man who was seriously ill, he felt like a knife in the heart.

"Method. He said heavily.

It was the many courtiers present who were asked.

"Whew, whew, whew. ”

It was the heavy breathing of the courtier in front of him...... Among them, His Excellency the Prime Minister is the heaviest.

"I ask, the way!" roared Vis VIII.

His expression became more irritable, and his face flushed. The only strange thing was that the few strands of hair on his head, which had been left behind and were not dyed, seemed to become even paler.

No one dares to anger His Majesty the Emperor in this state.

It's going to kill your head!

"Patrol of the North!" His Majesty sat down heavily, calling the hapless fellow.

Because of the chaos in the north, coupled with the lack of economic and tax revenue, the wise and powerful Vis I was basically reluctant to meddle in the strife of this land. As long as you don't make a fuss, you still belong to the empire. Of course, His Majesty the Founding Emperor also knew that laissez-faire would naturally cause great problems. So he specially set up the strange official "Northern Patrol Envoy......

The whole empire, the north, what a vast piece of land! This is already the size of a few small countries. It stands to reason that being able to sit in this position and enjoy the treatment of a provincial-level official is already quite successful......

But in reality, no one wants to go. Even if it is an exceptional promotion, it is avoided by others.

According to the usual ridicule of the adults: a rich man in the south, tired of the patrol envoy in the north......

There was even a time when there was a riot in the north, the old inspector died tragically, and the empire found the entire official secretariat, coerced and enticed, but did not find a replacement candidate. It's a fundamental problem: no matter how well you give it, no one will ......

As for today's unlucky patrol envoy, he is actually a newcomer who has just sat in this position for a year. Even, because the relationship in the imperial capital is not strong, he also went to the northwest in person. I took a good breath of the rough air......

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. His steps trembled, and he moved out slowly.

It is said that because of that "publicly-funded tour", the inspection caused the adult's waist to fall into trouble...... All the adults present cast sympathetic glances at this tragic figure.

"How's the situation in the North now?"

"Uh...... Relying on His Majesty's Hongfu, now the north is crawling under His Majesty's domineering spirit, the market is peaceful, and the people's customs are still the same. This is all the result of the Empire's good governance of the North, and your Majesty's hard work day and night. "The patrol made the adults bite the bullet and make a lot of sycophants.

If you want to talk about this aspect, Weiss actually knows it in his heart. Since his own governance of the empire, he has resisted Martin in the west, except for William and Lincoln, except for ...... This northern realm was the place where he put the least amount of thought into it. To say that it is all about his great fortune is probably too far-fetched.

"I'm in the imperial capital. As for the things in the north, I have always been concerned about it, and there has been nothing major, so I have postponed it a little. Vis spoke, glancing at the prime minister beside him. "I am a little at a loss for what to do about the crimes committed by this ignorant man, but it is really disappointing that you, the northern patrol envoy, have avoided and concealed them at every turn. ”

The inspection made him understand in his heart that he was just a man who carried the blame, and the emperor's meaning was something he could never disobey...... So, he honestly lowered his head.

"In the place of government affairs, everywhere to protect the careless, and the people's livelihood, there is no achievement, so that the north is afraid of donations, if so, I am not easy to protect. His Majesty the Emperor denounced his crimes, and the more he spoke about them, the angrier he became, as if he were a sinner who had caused the empire to decay......

"Throw it to the court magician, and leave him a whole corpse. ”

The audience was shocked!

Only the patrol made the unwilling figure easily dragged away by the guards, and his face was full of despair......

"Prime Minister, I wonder if you agree with my handling of the matter?"

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and such imperial sinners can have a forgiving heart, and the old minister is also very respectful. ”

His Majesty the Emperor nodded with satisfaction. "In your opinion, the situation today is ....... What should I do?"

The old prime minister stood up tremblingly. In the eyes of young people, this is clearly a sudden change of old bones......

He was so old, so old that it would take nearly ten seconds for something as simple as "standing up......

"I believe you also know the current state of the Empire. ”

Even though he is old, as long as he can speak, no one dares to snub his will.

Almost everyone held their breath and listened to the old man's tone full of vicissitudes.

In fact, for Salumbonelli Sorom, this was his 40th year as an official in the court, and before that, he had served three emperors, including Weiss VIII's father, Weiss VII.......

It is unbelievable that this old man, who has gone through the change of dynasties but is as stable as Mount Tai, is actually just an ordinary person who has no cultivation! And as an ordinary person, his age represents the length of his life...... According to the doctors' expectations of his condition, I am afraid that in a few years, the great prime minister will be driving to the west.

"The Martin Empire, eyeing the tiger, but after all, it is also a first-class power, once the war starts, even they will not be able to withdraw, and the fate of the empire is in the north!" he deliberately did not mention the William family and the Lincoln family.

"...... of the North," Vis VIII closed his eyes and pondered.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is stupid. But if the northern plague is not eliminated, the cancer of the empire will only spread more and more. After a pause, the old man smiled wryly......

"Do you know what the situation is like in the north of the empire now?......"

North!

Even in the two ten-mile small cities, their lords dared to pull out a team of thousands of people! For the people south of the imperial capital, it was simply a hell on earth......

Even, once, tempted by the vast land of the north, a prominent Duke was ordered to personally purge those evil forces.

As he set out, looking around his neat phalanx, His Royal Highness the Duke uttered a famous sentence: "Rats of the North, bet on the name of Owen, it's time for you to be judged by justice!"

...... Don't get me wrong, it's not that it's going down in history, it's being ridiculed to this day.

In order to encourage the duke, and also to set up a banner to govern the north, the central empire at that time divided three provinces for His Excellency the Duke with a wave of his hand. That's one-fifth of the empire's land, ten times as much as His Royal Highness had before!

With the well-organized family guards, the initial action was smooth. Unfortunately, soon, the Duke could not laugh anymore.

The people came, and the family guards began to build castles in the territory. But the governor of the province never entrusted him with the affairs of government.

You know, as the person with the highest rank in that land, theoretically, even the governor of the province is his subordinate. But what the hell are the administrative directives that come into contact with all day long? Participating in an economic sale in a certain village???

"Hell!"

Finally, after being hit on the head by an apple, His Royal Highness finally broke out......

He wanted control of all the armies in the three provinces, and he had to look at all the expenses and funding terms.

Well, when this sentence comes out, it is a complete tear in the face. Those emperors simply greeted the duke's personal guards, which were three cavalry regiments......

Looking at the appearance of their own troops, I am afraid that if people rush a little, their own troops will immediately cry and cry in front of these high-headed horses and rough men......

And the duke's "reasonable request" was rightfully ignored...... Even the Emperor didn't dare to stand up and say a word, but just sent a circular criticizing it, reprimanding the arrogance of the Northern Legion and ordering them to rectify their military appearance.

has no power, his life is miserable, and he even has to face repeated blackmail from the Northern Legion, he really can't cry. And after one of his housekeepers and his family died tragically at the hands of horse bandits, he finally ran back to the imperial capital without regard for face......

“...... I know. Vis VIII let out a cloudy breath, a haze flashing across his face.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside!"

“......”

That's right, it's Jiang Guangtou's famous saying, but I didn't expect that in the Barton Continent, it was also the same.

"The Southern Corps is in full force. Tell them that they will be allowed to reach the imperial capital within five days. ”

"Your Majesty is going to do it for real? at this time?" almost looked at each other for this order, and the ministers even thought that they had misheard.

The Southern Legion, along with the Northern Legion, is the strongest main battle legion in the Empire, the only difference is that this is a force that is tightly grasped by the royal family. In terms of the degree of sincerity, in terms of the supply of resources, in addition to the Royal Guard Legion, the Southern Legion has the most......

Even, even when the empire's finances were so tight that it even began to default on military bills, the pensions and allowances of the Southern Legion were not touched at all......
