I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 293 The Empire's Plan 7

"Twenty years ago, Minus, the rebellious witch who brought endless war to the southern countries, was defeated by an unknown warrior in a small border country."

Mercenary Shulite spoke to street vendor Gazela.

"I heard they both died together, but that warrior might not have been Levi."

The street vendor looked at the Holy Scepter in his hand and said, "Nobody knows the specifics. It's impossible to say who it is. Without evidence, it's hard to believe."

"Even so, one of the three existing great mages has indeed disappeared from this world, and that fact will not change."

Mercenary Shulite knew that Gazela wouldn't believe it so quickly, but Minus was indeed dead.

“Although Minus is indeed dead, she wanted to die. Otherwise, do you think a human warrior could kill a great mage who has lived for thousands of years?”

Shi Yichen and Frilian appeared silently among the Shadow Warriors. She had met Minus a few times and knew him, so she knew some things about him.

"when!!!"

All the Shadow Warriors present were shocked; none of them had sensed the arrival of Shi Yichen and Frilian.

“Shuashuashua!!!”

The eight people present immediately drew their weapons and charged at Shi Yichen and Frilian.

"Clap clap clap! No need to be so enthusiastic."

Shi Yichen clapped his hands with a smile, and time seemed to freeze, freezing the movements of the eight people present.

"Is that really the case?"

The homeless man Varos understood as he watched this scene: Shi Yichen was the one who had accompanied the hero and his companions, and even after more than eighty years, he showed no signs of aging.

Although their movements are frozen, these people are still able to think.

"Unfortunately, there are only eight here."

Shi Yichen sighed. She had originally planned to catch them all in one fell swoop, but there were only eight left here.

What do you want to do?

Frillie looked at the eight people who were being controlled and asked.

"Of course it is..."

Shi Yichen smiled mysteriously.

"Domination Magic"

Shi Yichen cast a spell on the eight people.

At first, the eight people persevered, but as the magic was gradually increased, some of them could not hold on any longer, until finally only the nun and the priest remained.

"There are two left, that's interesting."

Shi Yichen smiled as he looked at the nun and priest who were still struggling, because these two were people who used goddess magic and had a higher resistance to magic.

"Goddess Magic: Purification"

Unfortunately, Shi Yichen also possesses the goddess's magic; one could say she is the goddess, and the goddess is her.

"Owner!"

The eight people knelt on the ground and respectfully addressed Shi Yichen.

"Is that all?"

Frilian was shocked by what she saw. This was even more unreasonable than Aura's magic, and it could control people without the need for scales.

"They're just small fry."

Shi Yichen waved his hand and said that controlling just a few people would be a piece of cake.

"Go on with your work."

Shi Yichen said to the eight people kneeling on the ground, "As for what I want them to do, we'll have to see what happens tomorrow."

"Yes, Master."

The eight people nodded and disappeared into the forest in a flash.

"Falshu has been following us for so long, come out now."

Shi Yichen turned his head and looked in a certain direction.

"Yes, Lord Shi Yichen."

Falshu appeared next to Shi Yichen in the next second.

"You all saw it, right?"

Shi Yichen looked at Falxiu and asked.

"I saw it."

Falshu nodded, utterly shocked; it was terrifying.

"We don't need to worry about them anymore."

Shi Yichen took Frilian's hand and left the forest, while Philon and Shutark were still waiting for them.

"I see."

Falshu adjusted his glasses and nodded respectfully. This reduced the number of people he and Jian Ze needed to be wary of by eight, easing the pressure on them considerably.

. . . . . .

In the capital city.

A man dressed in monk's robes and sporting a goatee saw someone holding a photo and began asking them questions.

But everyone was shaking their heads, which added a touch of sadness to the man with the goatee's eyes.

"You mean that's Zain?"

Frillie spotted a familiar figure from afar.

"The clothes are the same as Mr. Zain's, so it should be."

Philon also saw that figure from behind.

"It's not 'should be,' he is Zain. I didn't expect him to have sent people all the way here. Let's go over there."

Shi Yichen took Frilian's hand and led Philon and Shutark over.

"Zain, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, you're all here too!"

Zain had of course seen Shi Yichen and the others, but he never expected to meet them here.

"Mr. Zain, have you found the gorilla warrior yet?"

Philon looked at Zain and asked.

"I also followed the clues here, but it seems that no one in the capital knows him."

Zain looked at the photo in his hand and sighed.

"Yichen, I've noticed that the gorilla warrior looks a lot like the blacksmith Kress from the intelligence report."

Frilian whispered in Shi Yichen's ear.

"It looks like it's the same person."

Shi Yichen nodded secretly. He hadn't expected that Zain's childhood friend would mention the Shadow Warrior. Whether or not to kill him was a question.

"Then... should we tell Zain?"

Frilian glanced at Zain, who was chatting happily with Shutark, and asked Shi Yichen.

"Of course I want it, but he has to see it for himself."

. . . . . .

On the road to the capital.

"Flame is almost at the capital. What are your thoughts?"

Celia smiled as she looked at Flame sitting opposite her and said, "Flame developed the capital city, but now she's going to destroy it herself. Celia couldn't help but laugh at the thought."

"I thought things would get better and better, but I never expected it to end like this."

Flame sighed and said that she had dedicated all her time to enabling all humans to learn magic, but she never expected that it would turn out like this a thousand years later.

Without external threats, humanity has resumed its usual internal strife.

"I told you from the beginning that magic is a special thing, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you're even trying to assassinate me."

Celia looked at Flame with a teasing expression and said.

"My lifelong dream is to make magic accessible to everyone."

. . . . . .

In the outpost.

Shi Yichen and the other three returned to their base, bringing Zain back with them as well.

Falshu had already returned and told Jianze and the others what had happened in the forest. The eight people on the list who were under control had been marked with a red cross, indicating that they posed no threat.

Zain also saw a person on the list who looked exactly like the gorilla warrior when he was a child, named Klein.

"What's wrong, Zain?"

Standing next to Zain, Shutark looked at the unusual Zain and asked.

"No...it's nothing."

Zain put the list back, feeling conflicted. He knew what Shi Yichen and the others were doing here, but...
