Four-Armed Divine Emperor

This is a story that ultimately makes the entire nation focus their passion and energy on learning, motivated by the desire to solve puzzles and rise to the top.

This sentence is a satire on the king's strategy by a folk wise man who has been unable to decipher the mystery for many years.

By the king's later years, he had solved the princess's riddle to fewer than ten people. The people of the capital, who had once threatened the royal rule, were no longer as unruly as before. The king's sons, grandsons, and even his descendants continued the king's policies, adhering to the princess's riddle as a national strategy. If the country had not been destroyed by a powerful neighbor several generations later, perhaps this situation might have continued to this day...

Grace didn't dare to think too much, didn't dare to think too much, for fear that one day...

But Ai

Chapter 81

Er's appearance, combined with the knowledge she had hidden deep in her heart for a long time and the current helpless situation of being at the mercy of others, opened Grace's mind in the dark future and she found a way out for herself, which she didn't know whether it could be considered a way out:

Cast a witch!

It can be said that she surrendered in order to save her life, because after she saw Elsa, she could not leave El completely no matter what. Needless to say, the appearance of a child who can control magic and grows up very fast means to the mortal world - what's more, she later discovered that all of El's descendants have this terrible power.

It can also be said that it is surrender in pursuit of power.

But in short, Grace took the initiative to come to the door, and after a few rounds of charades with Al, with whom she had established a basic relationship of mutual trust, she chose to reveal her cards:

Let’s speak frankly!

I know you are from "that side", and I know there must be a "big plan" behind you. Since you have taken the initiative to show it to me, I will not play dumb. You will definitely not be able to leave, so you might as well surrender. I am tired of staying in the Nine Rings White Tower!

Learn to learn!

What are you learning!

It took five years of apprenticeship, two years of working and doing experiments, and three years of doing exercises and reading books to go from apprentice to entry-level.

Grace arrived early, having spent nearly a decade in the floating city. She only reached the level of a third-ring mage by sheer luck, and further advancement would be even more difficult. As for returning to the mortal world to simply lie back and enjoy herself, Grace, having learned prophecy-related magic, could enjoy a delicious meal, but...

I feel unwilling!

Having seen the magnificent pure land in the sky and the garden of the stars, no wizard would be willing to "degenerate" and end up in the mortal world.

Those who are close to God, those who are like God, and even those who kill God!

Immortality, exploring the astral realms, and roaming the heavens—these are the dreams of every mage since their apprenticeship. Grace had only recently emerged from the floating city, and her aspirations hadn't been completely extinguished. However, because she knew too much, she felt a constant burden. She had endless fantasies about the summit of the White Tower, and she lamented her own future...

Falling into Al's hands, I can't leave unscathed anyway. Why not just pledge my loyalty and go to the mountain gate to ask for a position, hoping to find another way out and choose a path to transcendence?!

Al (and the people behind him) have a method that can allow ignorant cubs to master power and grow quickly, so that Grace can get some benefits... Even if it is just a little easier, it shouldn't be difficult to master higher-level power... right?

Chapter 65: One More Rival

Through his psychic perception, Al could also glimpse the sorceress's inner thoughts. Regarding the fact that both Ansuna and Grace saw him as connected to some ancient remnants, he was thinking:

I didn't, don't talk nonsense!

But on second thought, Ansuna was just suspicious. Although she was a high-ranking knight, she was still a mortal after all, and naturally knew less than the female mage. As long as he didn't lose miserably or be careless enough to let the female knight fall into the hands of others for interrogation, he didn't have to worry about Ansuna revealing his weirdness.

Moreover, even if it really came to that, Al had a vague intuition:

As the first female knight to follow him, the one who had been in contact with him the longest, and the one who had absorbed more El genetic material into her body than her own weight, it was impossible, or "unable", for Ansuna to betray him.

However, it would be much more difficult to fool the female mage Grace Mahta, not to mention that she already had a solid guess in her heart. Even if it was not verified, as long as he did not set up a guarantee, the secret that the female mage had left him would still be leaked and let the floating city know.

So he would never let the female mage leave, and how to make her serve him willingly...

Grace chose to surrender to El due to the situation, and El has been looking for a suitable method to control the female mage.

And he had found it.

......

Faced with the female mage's request, El did not respond immediately.

He took Grace out of the courtyard and strolled along the corridor, asking her questions.

"Are you sure you're mentally prepared?"

He had promised the other party that he would give him a response in about a year, that is, an increase in strength, but deep underground in the palace, in the dark dungeon cell, through continuous exploration and experimentation, Al has mastered a power in his body that is enough to subvert the world.

[Genetic Bloodline·Father of the Clan]: You are the father of the clan, the source of bloodline, and the master of all armies and heirs!

Your reproductive capacity has been greatly improved. Your bloodline offspring will inherit some of your talents and abilities and grow rapidly. You can transform other creatures, give them blood, and bring new life... establish a tribe and bring the world under the genealogy of a gene tree!

This genetic bloodline is the most critical of El's abilities. Among the three descriptions, it actually has only two functions.

Needless to say, reproductive ability is important in order to quickly spread and reproduce the population.

The last one is the ability that El discovered that can meet the current needs of the female mage. It is also a way for him to expand his power in addition to increasing troops and having children.

Transformation!

Give blood!

newborn!

In addition to internal reproduction and value-added, there is another way to expand a group... that is, to absorb other groups through expansion and diplomacy.

Chapter 82

Absorb, absorb and assimilate into one's own group.

Just like the Mongolian Plateau, a cancer of civilization, countless nomadic tribes rose from this place, becoming powerful at one time or another. When the Xiongnu were in power, they served the Chanyu; when the Xianbei rose, they followed the Xianbei royal court; when the Turks prospered, they belonged to the Turks; when the Mongols rose, they joined the Mongol nation...

The same principle applies to the later Eight Banners Jin Dynasty. During the rise of a group, a large amount of external blood will be absorbed. As long as victory and everyone's interests can be guaranteed, cohesion will be guaranteed, and they will be subtly assimilated into an ethnic group.

El has mastered a more efficient assimilation ability that is as terrifying as his reproductive ability, but...

It is not without cost to those who accept it.

......

"What's the price?"

The sorceress paused. She had asked this question before, but El had only been vague at the time. She didn't hold out much hope of being "accepted" immediately. Asking was just a way of expressing her feelings.

I want power so much, I want to join the Queen so much!

attitude, and it all comes down to self-preservation.

Grace didn't know what was behind Al and him, and she didn't dare to imagine that Al would let her go unharmed after knowing so much. Surrendering was the only way she could think of to avoid being silenced, and "gaining power" was actually more about psychological comfort for herself afterwards and finding a suitable reason for herself to surrender.

If her reason was simply fear of death, then she was also afraid of how she would be treated, like those slaves who lost everything on the battlefield.

Only if she shows her ambition and future value will she be treated better.

But when she heard the answer that El had given her, which seemed to be ready and could be given at any time, she couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

"all of these!"

Al really wanted to play this joke.

But saying this will definitely scare people.

After thinking about it again, it seemed that she had been scared enough. After all, a "little" three-ring mage suddenly ran into this super world copy of the ancient war and the return of the old gods. Now Grace can still hold herself up and not collapse, and is still racking her brains to find a way out for herself. It can be said that her mental strength is very strong.

So I thought about it carefully for a while and gave him a metaphor:

"In the long run, I'm not sure whether this will be good or bad for your future."

"But what you can gain immediately should be similar to what Devon Gale got from Adwin."

Al has always been upright and treats people with sincerity!

He carefully considered his words and told the female mage, "You and I both know that I can't let you go. But as long as you are willing to work for me and not flee, I can also swear to guarantee your safety."

"If you accept my power, what I carry, you will be free and stand with me, but..."

"I can't guarantee you whether your future will reach the heights you expect or be buried by time."

He and the female mage looked at each other with sincere eyes.

Grace's mind was also running at high speed.

Is he testing me?

Is what he said believable?

What if I really surrender and the people in the White Tower find out tomorrow? Can he take me away?

......

Although charm has little effect on the female mage and may even alert her, causing her favorability to plummet, El still has [Mental Infection]!

The latter is strong in that it has a wide radiation range and its influence is silent! No one will even notice that their cognition has been "affected"!

He didn't even need the power of psychic energy. Through the close connection between the two, he could see into the female mage's heart and subtly influence her decisions.

"strength"

"future"

"Above the Dome"

"The Power of the Sorcerer King"

"Mastering the Secret"

"Stars"

"Magnificent"

He didn't need to be too forceful. He only needed to leave some impressions in the female mage's mind so that she would be influenced by "his" thoughts.

And Al had already noticed that the female mage was greatly shaken at this moment.

"I......"

Sure enough, the female mage's lips trembled a few times, and she lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

“What exactly does it take?”

In response, Al smiled slightly, made an intimate gesture, patted the other person's shoulder, and signaled the latter to look up.

Then open your arms and make a hugging gesture.

"You wouldn't mind having two extra arms like me, right?"

Chapter 66: Don’t be afraid, this is a new life

"what do you mean?"

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the female mage. She looked at the pair of arms that were no different from those of an ordinary person. She would not remember it wrongly. Not long ago, on the battlefield, this pair of hands that looked like an ordinary man turned into a pair of pitch-black monster claws and clamped her head. The horror at that time still made Grace tremble. As long as Al exerted a little force, she had no doubt that her head would be crushed on the spot.

And now, the pair of claws that almost took Grace's life appeared before her in an ordinary disguise.

"It is power, power, that is it."

Al didn't explain, just said something casually, crossed his arms over his chest, put his palms together in front of his body, and made an upside-down heart shape.

Half of the peach heart is burning with flames, and the other half is condensed with frost.

Chapter 83

Two completely opposite elements began to rotate in Al's two palms, without any mutual restraint, and they were very harmonious.

Soon, in addition to flames and ice, whirlwinds, stones, and water were added... Several different elements were perfectly pieced together and spinning in El's palm, naturally and as if one.

This scene also shocked the female mage. With just this one move, El showed his terrifying control over the elements. She still remembered what the instructor said when she first learned to control the elements: "Energy transformation spells are the easiest magic to get started with, but also the hardest to master."

In the floating city, there is a popular game among mages called "Nine Rings Game", which is to control different elements to condense into rings at the same time and let them penetrate each other while maintaining stability.

This can effectively train the mage's control over the elements and is a compulsory course for mages. Almost all apprentices have been tortured by the "Water, Fire and Earth Three Rings" test. When Grace saw the strongest seven-ring mage teaching them, he could only do the multi-element nine-ring skipping rope juggling, but he also said that he could only do this at best.

And Al easily demonstrated a control over the elements that was no less than that of the seven-ring transcendent.

Grace was now almost transparent to El. El had at least a vague impression of everything she was thinking and knowing, so he continued to show off his skills. He closed his palms and then opened them. A string of universal language, each character composed of multiple elements, "You desire power, and it is right before your eyes" appeared in front of the female mage.

In the room next to them, a vase suddenly shook for no apparent reason. A maid quickly caught it and prevented it from falling to the ground.

While the female wizard was still thinking, Al clasped his hands together, and the words disappeared.

Al continued with that "enigmatic" smile, just like the one he had on his face when he was listening to the female mage "speaking frankly" and trying to understand her inner thoughts.

"Hmm, hmm, uh-huh, hmm, heh-huh."

Highlight a scam and a performance, and you will get the psychological control.
