From Wild Mage to Wizard King

"But if you quit..."

Anna at the side raised her head slightly and said in a somewhat uneasy tone.

Manuel stared at everyone indifferently and spoke in a cold tone.

"Don't say such willful things, Anna. You are the one who needs exercise the most, but what have you been doing so far?"

Hearing Manuel's words, Anna lowered her head slightly, her face looking a little sad.

Haley, who was standing by, couldn't hold it anymore. She stood up, rushed over, grabbed Manuel and scolded him.

"Anna is waiting for you to come."

"You were the one who brought Anna in, weren't you? Anna has worked diligently in the past two years and has had less rest time than anyone else. You are a useless person hiding in your residence. What qualifications do you have to bark here?"

Nikephoros quickly pulled the two apart, standing between Manuel and Haley, and said.

"Wait, calm down and talk for a minute, okay?"

"We have all been working together as regents to maintain the Silver Empire for so long. There is no need to worry about such a small matter..."

After hearing Nikephoros' words, the other regent nobles in the parliament who had not spoken remained silent.

Before joining the Regency Council, they still had a filter when looking at Manuel, but during their time in the Regency Council, they had seen through Manuel's hypocrisy.

To be honest, they themselves don't want to stay in the Regency Council anymore.

Manuel himself is innocent, and not only do they get no benefits, they also have to take the blame.

If the agreement had not been made when the Regency Council was first established and they were unwilling to breach it, they would have exposed Manuel's true face long ago.

The Regency Council, which was once united and agreed to maintain the empire, has now become fragmented and has lost its vitality.

If the regent nobles had not still felt a sense of belonging to the empire, they would have withdrawn from the Regency Council long ago.

As the regent nobles ignored Nikephoros' situation, he turned his gaze to the silver noble who had stopped flipping through a book in the corner.

Sarah, the most special regent noble in the Regency Council, although she also holds a seat in the Regency Council, she has never interfered with any decision of the Regency Council.

Instead, he acted as a spectator and supervisor, silently watching everything that happened in the Regency Council.

It’s not that the other regent nobles discriminated against her. If they really did, there would be no need to bring her into the Regency Council.

In fact, Sarah is the oath keeper of this Silver Empire, responsible for managing the original version of the [Silver Agreement] which is the foundation of the Silver Empire.

Although she is not well-known and few people know her within the Silver Family, her status and power are extremely transcendent. However, she basically does not use the power of the Oath Keeper.

In addition, since each Oath Keeper is secretly raised from infancy to adulthood by the previous Oath Keeper, each Oath Keeper is very mysterious.

Even the regent nobles only knew her name. No one knew her strength or abilities.

However, one thing that is certain is that if she is angered, she, who has mastered the original power of the [Silver Agreement], can at least beat up any high-level transcendent.

This incident is also recorded in the Family History.

In short, Sarah's identity is very special and is also one of the core foundations for the normal operation of the Regency Council.

With her support and backing, other regent nobles would not say anything even if they had any objections.

Thinking of this, Nikephoros looked at her and spoke.

"Isn't that what Sarah thinks?"

"I."

Sarah said calmly with her eyes on the book in her lap.

"I never thought the Regent was happy..."

"Yes?"

Nikephoros was stunned for a moment, looked at Sarah, and said in confusion.

"Bang!"

Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the entire conference hall, and then thunder suddenly penetrated the walls and entered the ears of everyone in the conference hall.

The strange rainstorm still shrouds Ginza.

This city, known as the world's desired city and the brightest pearl of Sinnar, is now dimmed by heavy rain.

After the Oath Keepers of the Silver Covenant spoke like this, the Regency Council suddenly convened by Manuel ended in an unpleasant manner.

Not only did the Regency Council fail to ease the internal conflicts, but it completely exposed the internal conflicts. To outsiders, the Regency Council, which seemed united but wanted to seize power and cause trouble, was not so united.

Except for the first three months after the establishment of the Regency Council, when the decision to seize the power to mobilize troops was passed by a narrow margin of two votes, some negative voices had already appeared within the Regency Council.

It was not a big problem at first, until Manuel himself broke down and retreated, and then obvious cracks appeared in the Regency Council.

Although the Regency Council still maintained normal operations, the regent nobles no longer had much passion and just went about their business as usual.

But now, with the public falling out and Manuel hiding in his own residence again, the regent nobles were not even paying attention to the routine operations. While they were trying to maintain the Regency Council, they began to urge the Silver Families to quickly elect a Silver Emperor.

If no one is elected in a year at most, they will quit.

The regent nobles' laxity led to a decline in the efficiency of the Regency Council, which was also one of the reasons for the increasing chaos within the Silver Empire.

The entire Sinnar can be said to be in complete chaos.

The Inter Alliance lay dormant, quietly digesting the human kingdoms it had previously annexed, suppressing royal and aristocratic rebels that emerged in various places, and its borders were extremely conservative, with defense being the main focus.

Compared to the Inter Alliance, which was only suppressing the rebels, the Silver Empire was in far more chaos.

The lower-class nobles fought various small-scale wars over disputes over inheritance rights for their own interests.

The princes and great princes contacted each other, colluded with each other, formed alliances, and tried to preserve themselves in the chaotic times.

A large number of spellcasters walked out of the tower to promote and practice their ideas of governing the country, adding fuel to the fire of this already chaotic empire.

The seven major silver families were constantly quarreling over the throne, and the news of the quarrels among the families had spread almost throughout the entire empire. The regency council's corruption became more and more obvious, and the accumulated government affairs became more and more, just like before.

So, when the entire Silver Empire was almost in turmoil, there were still two forces maintaining calm and neutrality in this chaos.

The Pantheon and the Tower of Truth.

The former does not care about these political struggles. As a religious force, after being suppressed several times by the Silver Empire and secular forces in the past, the Pantheon rarely pays attention to these political struggles.

Even though they are fighting fiercely now, once the Pantheon shows any attempt to interfere, they will be able to reunite in minutes and suppress the Pantheon again.

Anyway, no matter who wins or loses in the political struggle, it is inseparable from Fang Temple.

If that's the case, then why does the Fang Temple want to get involved in these matters?

As for the latter, although the Tower of Truth is an academic territory, as mentioned before, they have long been secretly interfering in politics. In this chaotic situation, it is a bit strange that the Tower of Truth remains neutral.

"Still no news?"

In a study room in Ginza, a high-level transcendent was rubbing his temple. He had just argued with other high-level transcendents from the Silver Family over the throne, and now he spoke somewhat helplessly.

Opposite him, a mid-level transcendent nodded and said.

"Yes, according to intelligence, the Parliament of Truth is still operating normally, and most of the high-level transcendents are still in their respective wizard towers, with no intention of leaving the towers or holding any meetings."

Hearing his words, the high-level transcendent tapped the desk lightly and muttered to himself.

"They only released a few low- and mid-level spellcasters. What on earth do the Council of Truth want to do? Do they think that any of these spellcasters can really change the empire?"

He frowned and thought about the problem silently. With the help of Superman's memory, he recalled all the political theories that had appeared in the Tower of Truth.

Then he shook his head, but spoke hesitantly.

"Well, the Parliament of Truth probably only wants to expand its influence and won't do anything destructive.

Have your men pay attention to these spellcasters who have walked out of the tower. I want to see what the Parliament of Truth wants to do with them."

"clear."

The intermediate transcendent nodded and silently left the room.

Although the Tower of Truth released many spellcasters, they were all low- and mid-level transcendents after all. Not a single high-level transcendent showed any signs of moving. This was not at all consistent with the Silver Families' understanding of the Council of Truth.

Unfortunately, due to the chaos within the Silver Family, and the fact that the Tower of Truth had raised the threshold for entry and exit a few years ago, the Hundred Silver Family had no idea what they were trying to do.

We can only keep an eye on these spellcasters that come out.

Maybe there are some high-level spellcasters from the Parliament of Truth mixed in and escaped?

For example, Hess who suddenly disappeared with the queen and princess.

If it weren't for him, the team sent by the Silver Family and led by him personally to invite the Queen back would not have come away empty-handed.

Even if the empress was disheartened and had no interest in the throne anymore, the worst that could happen was that he would kneel down and beg her.

The Queen is soft-hearted. As an elder, he will force everyone to kneel for seven or eight days. He does not believe that the Queen will not come forward to clean up the mess.

Damn it, this must be a conspiracy of the Parliament of Truth. The Parliament of Truth must have asked Hess to take the Queen away. If I had known this, I should not have let the Queen find a teacher in the Tower of Truth.

Thinking back to the meaningless quarrel among the bosses of several major families this morning, the high-level transcendent felt a surge of anger in his heart again.

While the high-level transcendents were cursing the Parliament of Truth in their hearts, in a deep place of the Parliament of Truth where no one could find it, dozens of members of the Parliament of Truth, high-level transcendents who were nominally still in their respective wizard towers, were gathering together.

In front of them was a three-meter-high container made of mithril. In addition, densely packed spell runes covered the inner and outer layers of the container, restricting and protecting the entire container.

With the high-level extraordinary people sparing no expense or time to personally work on it, the mithril container in front of them was made extremely sturdy. Even if it was violently destroyed by a dozen high-level extraordinary people, it could at least last for a month.

Through the external magic circle, the highest quality life fluid that exudes a strong breath of life is also flowing into the container continuously.

The mithril container was like a bottomless abyss, continuously consuming the fluid of life.

These were obtained by the Council of Truth through trade with the Moon Elves. The amount of the highest quality life fluid that can be obtained each year is very limited. Even if they are injured, they are reluctant to use the highest quality ones.

But now, all the high-level extraordinary people present didn’t care about the so-called life fluid at all.

Although high-quality life fluid is very precious, the Parliament of Truth has praised it for so many years and has stored up a huge amount of it, enough for them to continue squandering for several years.

Over the years, the Tower of Truth has been able to obtain all the renewable resources except for the non-renewable extraordinary resources.

Even if you can only get a little bit of resources every year with a stable supply, after accumulating them for so many years, the amount will not be too small.

In addition to the liquid of life, another interface of the container is made of a large amount of light element extraordinary materials.

A thick, bright white liquid that exudes a strong scent of light element is also continuously poured into the silver container.

In addition, around the mithril container, there are more than a dozen statues of Lady Dawn placed around it.

Through the absorption of the magic circle, the strong power of faith is flowing out of the statue and slowly into the silver container.

These statues are not ordinary statues placed in temples for believers to pray only. Instead, they are made by high-level extraordinary people themselves. According to the research report left by Littorio, they are holy statues that can truly be used to store the power of faith.

In order to gain the power of faith, they also dispatched more than 30 mid-level extraordinary people to carry these holy statues to every place where there is faith in Lady Dawn.

Whether it's the Silver Empire, the Inter Alliance, or the independent human kingdom in the south, as long as you have faith, you have to make a trip there.

Even if it is a small village with a population of less than a hundred people hiding in the mountains, as long as the magic circle searching for the power of faith responds, it must be collected.

In order to gain more faith, they even disguised themselves as a caravan and went to the War Council to collect some.

Since the caravan was just passing by and did not enter or leave the city, and since no one on the committee knew about the power of faith except Roland, they were able to succeed.

After collecting the power of faith from almost all believers in Ms. Dawn, they concentrated on praising these dozen holy objects filled with the power of faith.

The high-level transcendents gathered together looked at the mithril container with some fiery eyes.

The mithril rings on their hands flickered slightly, helping them connect to the mithril container and clearly see the inside of the mithril container.

A petite one-year-old baby slowly curled up in the container of life fluid. Her cold, lifeless body was continuously absorbing the life fluid and bright white elemental concentrate around her. At the same time, the power of faith from all directions was also continuously flowing into her body.
