NFBE Chapter 32 Imperial Capital
Chapter 32 Imperial Capital
The seemingly ordinary statue actually grew from half a person's height to a person's height after he bowed to it. Endless black aura appeared on the surface of the statue, and the diffuse black aura finally gathered in his mind. In just half an hour, he, who was originally a fourth-level magician, increased his strength at a visible speed, and finally stopped at the peak of the sixth-level magician!
To go from a level 4 magician to a peak level 6 magician, all it takes is this one bow!
Feeling this effect, Lord Lefen's attitude towards the statue changed 180 degrees. In addition, while the statue was injecting black energy into him, it also conveyed a lot of information to him. Among them were several kinds of dark magic and methods of human sacrifice.
This information also includes the sacrifice of people with pure souls and how to find such people. He made the bead according to this method.
Andrew glanced through Lord Lefen's notes and felt that the complexity of the matter exceeded his imagination.
This mysterious statue made him feel like a thorn in his throat, a sharp edge in his back. It could help people improve their strength through sacrifices, and it could also grow to the height of a person. This...
Andrew thought about it and it seemed that there was no such plot in the original book. Knowing nothing about it, he continued to flip through his notes.
After this worship, Lord Lefen became a true believer of the statue. According to the information sent by the statue, he called it "God of the Underworld". As his faith deepened, his strength gradually increased. In one year, he had crossed the bottleneck and became a seventh-level great magician.
At this point, simple worship lost its effect, and the Lord of Lefen City began to secretly sacrifice living people. He could not forget his enemy, the former Lord of Lefen City, and began to secretly capture his family. After the first sacrifice, his strength increased dramatically, and he became a magician in an instant. With such strength, he was no longer afraid of the enemy's pursuit, and he wiped out the former Lord of Lefen City.
He was not resigned to exterminating the entire clan, so he mummified the forty-plus members of the clan, letting them suffer the pain of their souls before he died!
This is the origin of more than forty mummies!
Seeing this, Andrew sighed a little. He couldn't comment on these. Who could explain the grudges? What he cared about most was the speed of the other party's improvement. You know, it is very difficult for a magician to advance, and because there are far fewer high-level magicians than high-level warriors. And the Lord of Lefen actually went from a fourth-level magician to an eighth-level magician in just one or two years. This speed is absolutely the best in the entire Yulan Continent!
You know, he is not an ordinary magician, but a dark magician known for his mystery and terror! This kind of magician's research on the soul is far beyond that of others, and his life span is greatly increased than that of ordinary people. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to practice!
After defeating his enemies, the Lord of Lefen City occupied Lefen City. In order to gain more power, he risked being strangled by the Yulan Empire and openly promoted sacrifices in the city. However, for some reason, the power he could gain from the statues became less and less, even if he sacrificed living people...
It took him nearly ten years to advance from an eighth-level magician to a ninth-level magician.
For ordinary people, this speed is already very fast, but he is not satisfied. In order to go further, Lord Lefen began to look for people with pure souls. The statue said that as long as he sacrificed this kind of people, he would be able to be granted the power of the gods immediately...
So, there is the next thing.
"Huh!" Andrew took a long breath. This incident made him fully realize that even though he knew the plot of the original book, he still didn't know enough about this world!
This is a real world after all, and its complexity is countless times greater than that in the book.
After thinking about it for half the night, Andrew still had no idea about the statue. He would definitely not go to worship it. He disdained to take such a shortcut, and he didn't dare to take it.
"If you gain something, you must lose something. Even if this statue can really help people improve their strength, it is impossible to tell what price it has paid."
In the end, there was really no other way, so Andrew had to put the statue away. This thing is very dangerous, but also very precious. At least, it is definitely not something from the material plane, it must have drifted from the supreme plane. I can't figure it out now, but when my strength increases and I enter the supreme plane, I will figure it out.
Putting away the statue, Andrew thought again, what is so special about people with pure souls?
In the original book, this type of people can be reincarnated as angels through light magic. The purer the soul, the stronger the reincarnated angel will be. The strongest can even rival Shura.
However, there are not many such angels. After countless years and endless sacrifices in the planes, their number can be counted on ten fingers.
Obviously, the souls of these people contain powerful power, or have great potential, otherwise, how could they be reincarnated as angels?
"Alas, it's useless for me to think about these things now. There must be many people who know the secret of soul purity, but in this universe, only the Angel Reincarnation Pool can transform angels."
Andrew laughed at himself. He suddenly realized that his mentality was very dangerous. He was too ambitious and always thought about things that had no limits.
Looking at the starry sky, he clenched his fists, a fire burning in his chest.
"This world is too dangerous. Without sufficient strength, I can't protect my family!" Thinking of the contempt of Viscount Frey and Kate, the shock of Bandani and Pollitt, and the strange magic of Lord Lefen...
"Within ten years, I must become a sanctuary!" Andrew vowed secretly, leaving everything behind and honing his fighting spirit.
After the incident in Lefen City, Bandani was no longer so jumpy. Everyone hurried on the road carefully and headed west. Millie and her daughter also joined the team, and the kind-hearted Janice took them in. Millie's mother was called Ada. According to her, her whole family sacrificed their lives for Hades. The originally happy family now only had mother and daughter left.
Andrew couldn't send the people back, so he had no choice but to take the two of them with him. In this way, the team's speed slowed down again.
A month later, the imperial capital was finally in sight!
Standing on a mountain, looking at the magnificent imperial capital, everyone felt excited. The grand imperial capital shocked everyone. Even Andrew couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Look, that's the capital of our Magnolia Empire!" Bandani pointed proudly to the front and said loudly.
The imperial capital is located on the banks of the Magnolia River, and the surrounding area should be the alluvial plain of the river, which is endless. The whole city is like a giant beast, lying there quietly. For some reason, Andrew can always feel that there seems to be a very strong power in this city!
"Andrew, your feeling is right!" Upon learning of his thoughts, Bandani's expression was somewhat complicated. "According to my teacher, there are countless magic circles in the imperial capital. Some of these were set up by the Holy Land magicians, and some were set up by the high priest himself. For countless years, the Yulan Empire has always stood firm, and the imperial capital has never been destroyed. It all depends on these magic circles."
He paused and said incredulously: "But, the teacher said that only Saint Domain strongmen can vaguely feel these, and you are only a seventh-level warrior, this..."
Andrew thought about it and could only attribute it to his own powerful soul.
"Maybe it's talent, Bandani. Let's go, we will be able to enter the imperial capital before this afternoon!"
The group set off again, following the broad road, slowly heading towards the imperial capital.
"As expected of the imperial capital, there are so many people here." Howard looked around and couldn't help but sigh. In the past month, they have been to many cities, some of which are county capitals, but no city has so many people.
Bandani smiled and said, "Of course, this is the center of the Magnolia Empire!"
Andrew asked: "Bandni, do you know how many people there are in the imperial capital?"
"Well, I really don't know, but I estimate it's at least one million." Bandani thought for a while and said.
One million? Andrew was a little surprised. Even in the industrial age, such a city was considered a big city. At that time, the total population of Yulan Continent was probably only hundreds of millions. It was incredible that the imperial capital could gather such a population.
In the afternoon, the group arrived at the east gate of the imperial capital.
"It's so high!" Ling'er and Millie looked up at the city wall with stunned expressions.
Andrew looked at them and found it a little funny. It was very interesting to see two little kids pretending to be adults. However, the city wall was really high, no less than a hundred meters, which was equivalent to a thirty-story building in the previous life. This height was deeply shocking.
"We are in the imperial capital, and Paulette and I are the guests. Come on, I'll take you to the best restaurant in the imperial capital for a good meal!"
Led by Bandani, the crowd walked into the imperial capital. The imperial capital was different. When the guards saw the golden tiger, they had no reaction at all. It was not like other cities where the appearance of the golden tiger would cause panic.
Bandani explained: "There are many masters in the imperial capital, including many high-level warriors and high-level magicians. Many of them own powerful magic beasts, so high-level magic beasts are not uncommon in the imperial capital."
