Spellcasting Heavens

panic!

confusion!

Suspicion!

With the end of that actual test, the entire kingdom, both the ruling class and the ruled class, fell into a state of bewilderment.

All kinds of rumors spread throughout the streets in just a few days.

Some people say that the mages trained by the royal family have created a powerful strategic magic and intend to use it to regain the lost land.

Some people say that this is some kind of ancient artifact hidden by the royal family, and even make up a story to connect the royal bloodline with the heroes and gods in mythology to prove that they are born noble. , should become the supreme king.

However, for nobles who know a little bit of gossip, the nonsense of these low-level people is not worthy of attention at all.

As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world, especially since Villa had just ascended the throne not long ago, and there was no major purge. Many people in the palace were still loyal to the old king.

With their skilled political skills, the fallen nobles soon learned that the earth-shattering explosion was actually a weapon, a consumable item that could be produced with the help of a spellcaster.

After understanding this, even Wenger V, who was under semi-house arrest, couldn't help but start to take action, and his originally silent heart became like a blazing flame.

There is no doubt that he is not willing to withdraw from the political arena as a loser, let alone give up the rights of the king.

He desires revenge!

Eager to prove once again that he was still the wise and mighty great king who had brought decades of prosperity to the kingdom, rather than a mediocre king who had lost power and humiliated the country, resulting in the loss of more than half of the land.

…

Just as the undercurrent was surging in the kingdom's capital, Iseult quietly left the center of the whirlpool, returned to the top of the magic tower, bent down and bowed deeply to the person he was loyal to: Master, I have followed the instructions. At your command, the stage has been set.

Oh? So fast! Zhang Cheng asked casually.

Yes! The plan went much smoother than I imagined. As mentioned in a book in the library, mortals can never get rid of the control of greed and desire, even if they clearly know that these two things will have disastrous consequences. According to I know that there are at least three forces currently secretly trying to win over and bribe the people involved in the production. After the first war is over, the number will become more, and the temptation will become bigger and bigger. I don't I feel that those apprentices would give up a lot of wealth, power and status at their fingertips for the sake of illusory loyalty.

When saying these words, Iseult's tone was full of sarcasm and a little bit sad at the same time.

Because he is also one of the mortals and cannot withstand temptation, otherwise he would not have become the powerful servant in front of him like a god.

As a smart man, he knew very well that from the moment the agreement was reached, he would never have a chance to escape control, except to obey orders honestly.

Feeling the old man's complex psychological activities, Zhang Cheng nodded expressionlessly: You are right. But don't forget, there are some people among mortals who can do what everyone expected at certain special moments and occasions. They can refuse the temptation of beauty, ignore huge wealth, and give up their superior status, just for the strong sense of justice in their hearts.

Or things like mission, responsibility, love, family affection, friendship, etc. In my opinion, without them in a story, the whole story becomes dull.

So... you want a hero? Iseult subconsciously widened his eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.

Hahahaha! That's right! A hero! Someone who dares to stand up at a critical moment and save the world with unparalleled courage when everyone is in despair. How about, can you help me find such a hero? Zhang Cheng Laughing, he stood up and picked up a beautifully shaped sword from the shelf that exuded huge magical energy.

This sword is so beautiful, and the runes on its surface that no one else can read are constantly flashing. Even those who don't understand it will understand that its value cannot be measured in money.

Artifact!

A true artifact!

A self-aware artifact!

Iseult opened her mouth wide in surprise, and after a long time she asked with a wry smile: Is this the weapon you prepared for the hero?

Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking: Yes! Since he is a hero, of course he must have a weapon worthy of him. What do you think, have I thought carefully? Of course, this weapon cannot be handed over too easily. To get out, he needs to go through a series of cruel and dangerous trials. Spread the news for me, saying that an ancient ruins have been discovered in the forest, which exudes amazing magical energy and may contain powerful magical items.

Then, a large number of adventurers and various forces will send people for this news. Whoever successfully gets this sword among them will become your chosen hero? Iseult seemed to understand something and took the initiative to take it. The second half of the sentence.

At this moment, he finally understood that his master wanted to play a game, a classic game between a brave man and the devil.

Only this time, the Demon King's power is beyond imagination, and the brave man is just a chess piece, a chess piece that is manipulated and manipulated, and cannot escape the Demon King's control no matter what.

You're half right. What I want is not just a game, but also many interesting experiments. Whether it's data collection or testing of human nature. I like to see people's expressions when they are full of hope and fall into despair. I prefer to see the degradation or sublimation of the soul. Well, go and do your business. From today on, you, like Aarons, have the right to enter and exit the library at any time.

After saying that, Zhang Cheng put the sword back on the shelf and waved his hand gently, and began to think about what kind of ruins should be built, what kind of puzzles should be created, and what kind of monsters should be prevented to test these heroes .

It was a very fun way for him to pass the time.

After all, with an almost endless lifespan, he always has to find a way to pass the boring time.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity! I swear that I will never betray you or let you down. After getting what she had dreamed of, Iseult hurriedly knelt down excitedly, her old hands shaking constantly.

The endless magical knowledge in the library is the treasure he has longed for a long time ago, and now he can finally get his wish...
