Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 193 Selina, Rejection
The better ones can have five or six times the space, and the better ones can have more than ten times the space. They are also fully equipped with facilities, even including gardens and swimming pools, which is almost equivalent to an entire portable manor.

Of course, the price reached a level that even Ronan was shocked by.

Ronan finally bought a mid-level space tent. The price was quite reasonable, costing only 500 high-level magic stones.

The first-level wizard who was selling the space tent left a communication stone for Ronan after the deal was concluded, and politely stated that if there were any problems with the tent, he could ask them to repair and maintain it during the battle.

There are many such "wizard merchants" around the ruins of the ancient fairy city. They wear the same type of gray-green robes with a beautiful pattern of a gold coin surrounded by staffs, books and keys embroidered on their chests.

These people belong to an organization called "Hamet Chamber of Commerce". This organization even set up a large-scale trading market at the junction of the outer and middle layers of the ruins. Its powerful means are eye-catching.

After purchasing the space tent, Ronan walked through the crowd towards the inner layer of the ruins.

The area around the ruins of the ancient fairy city was occupied by people, divided into three distinct areas according to strength - the innermost layer was the residence of the third-level wizards, the middle layer was the second-level wizards, and the outermost layer was filled with the largest number of first-level official wizards.

Once there are more people, friction is inevitable.

Ronan witnessed no less than five conflicts as he walked the short distance from the outermost layer to the middle layer. However, both parties in the conflict were quite restrained and would stop after simply casting two spells. Those who could not hold back would go to the outermost layer to fight together.

The key point is "order in chaos".

More than ten thousand formal wizards above level one gathered in one place. Above the huge ruins of an ancient fairy city, a large number of free energy particles were attracted by the mental fluctuations naturally emitted by the wizards, forming colorful streams that could be observed by the naked eye, which was extremely strange.

Ronan used the [Eye of Truth] to observe, and he seemed to be in a vast and dazzling starry sky. Each twinkling light represented a formal wizard above level one. In the innermost part, there were circles representing the third-level "Bright Moon and Scorching Sun".

"call--"

Ronan stepped into the area of ​​the middle-level second-level wizards and found a relatively spacious and flat place near the edge of the periphery.

While he was setting up the space tent, people leaned out of several tents about twenty meters away from him.

Ronan glanced at them indifferently and dispersed his own mental power fluctuations of the late second level. Most of the people who showed up to investigate quickly shrank back, which was regarded as "recognition" of his qualifications to stay here.

A few others walked out of the tent directly and came straight towards him, and it seemed that they wanted to talk to him and make friends with him.

However, Ronan did not give them a chance. After putting up the tent, he walked straight in. At this stage, he really didn't want to waste his time and energy on making connections that did not have much meaning.

The space tent purchased with five hundred high-level magic stones has an internal space of only about forty-five square meters, but it is small but has all the necessary facilities.

In addition to the necessary rest bedroom and bathroom, there is also a small living room and meditation room.

All the daily necessities are available inside, even some clean water and food are provided.

The entire tent has a very good sound insulation effect, isolating most of the external noise, but it is not completely undetectable. In addition, it also has certain defense and early warning functions.

The biggest difference between a space tent and general space storage props is that it is not a completely independent private space. Taking into account ventilation and in case of external attacks, the space inside the tent is actually quite fragile. According to the wizard of the "Hamiett Chamber of Commerce" who sells the tent, even a first-level wizard can tear open the tent and escape in time when necessary.

It has to be said that the person who developed this magic item has taken almost every aspect into consideration.

Ronan washed his hands and face to get rid of the dust along the way, then took out a few communication stones from the space ring and sent messages to Costi and Benigo respectively, saying that he had arrived at the ruins of the ancient fairy city.

He checked the communication stones that had been sent before, but neither Orion nor Grace responded. However, another communication stone that the silver-haired witch in the Life Court of the Mechanical Heart gave him received a message.

In the message, the other party sent him an invitation on behalf of the Court of Life.

Ronan was quite curious about the Court of Life, a central wizarding force, but the message did not specify the specific location of the people from the Court of Life. Even if Ronan wanted to keep the appointment, he could not find where they were.

It is most likely in the innermost area, but the innermost area is the gathering place for the third-level wizards. Now no matter who enters, they will receive a unique "welcome ceremony", just like the third-level wizard riding a giant yellow bat that Ronan had seen before.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and I’m too lazy to reply.

Ronan had just put down the communication stone when he noticed that someone outside had triggered the "access control" of the space tent.

Ronan originally thought that it was the "neighbors" who had tried to make friends with him before, but after spreading his mental power to check, he found that it was the silver-haired female wizard from the Court of Life whom he had met before.

Ronan confirmed the identity of the visitor, his eyes flickered, and after considering for a moment, he walked out.

"It is a pleasure to meet you again, Your Excellency."

The silver-haired witch was standing five meters away from Ronan's tent and greeted Ronan indifferently.

Ronan looked at her calmly and said, "Good afternoon. Can I know how you found me?"

Less than five minutes after he decided on the location for his tent, people from the Court of Life showed up.

"This area is actually not that big, and we have the guidance of prophecy."

The silver-haired witch replied.

Ronan frowned. Even though this silver-haired wizard of the Court of Life seemed to have impeccable respect from all sides, he always inadvertently revealed a vague sense of superiority.

However, thinking that the other party is level three and he himself is level two, and the Life Court is a wizard empire from the central region, this inherent sense of superiority seems natural.

"Maybe I should practice the prophecy spell [Mystical Divination] I got from the Mechanical Heart."

Ronan thought about it and did not refuse the silver-haired witch's invitation. He followed her readily.

Just as he guessed, the silver-haired witch led him straight to the innermost area.

With the silver-haired female wizard leading the way, Ronan did not receive the same treatment as the yellow giant bat wizard before. However, as a second-level wizard, he suddenly broke into the activity area of ​​​​third-level wizards, and walked with the wizards of the Court of Life who were quite mysterious to most southern wizards. He was inevitably subject to the mental detection of many third-level southern wizards along the way.

It felt like a pair of eyes were staring at me.

Walking to the innermost part of the third-level wizard activity area, Ronan saw a beautiful meadow.

It was late autumn, and the grass and trees on the surrounding hills and plains had turned yellow, but the lawn in front of him was so lush that it seemed like the season between spring and summer.

Ronan could sense a strange force surrounding this area, like a huge and ancient mysterious magic circle. This magic circle constantly pulled the free energy particles in the sky down, as if it was accumulating some power, and the entire ancient magic circle was "awakening" bit by bit.
The residence of the Court of Life is at the edge of the magic circle. It is not a space tent, but a number of uniquely shaped cottages. In front of each cottage is guarded by a third-level wizard wearing the iconic moon-white robe of the Court of Life.

The silver-haired witch led Ronan to the largest and most beautiful cottage in the middle and stopped. She said to him, "Her Highness Selina is waiting for you inside."

Ronan nodded and pushed the door open to enter the cabin.

The moment he stepped into the cottage, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and what appeared before his eyes was an extremely huge and magnificent palace.

Sixteen platinum-colored metal pillars surround and support the entire hall. A beam of light falls from the dome painted with the sun, moon, stars, forests and rivers. Underfoot are beautiful and expensive translucent white crystal bricks. Directly opposite Ronan is a long red table. At the end of the table, ten steps up, a blonde woman in an elegant long dress is looking at him quietly.

Ronan stopped where he was, squinted his eyes, and looked at the legendary Princess Selina of the Court of Life in front of him.

This was a very beautiful woman, with blonde hair as beautiful as the morning glow and lake green eyes, and her skin was as white, delicate and sparkling as milky jade.

She seemed to have some kind of dazzling aura that made anyone who tried to look at her want to lower their head.

Among the people Ronan knew, Costi, the seventh ring master of the Silver Ring, was the most noble woman he had ever seen. But compared to the blonde woman in front of him, she was not even one-tenth as noble as her.

The blonde woman stood in the bright white light, exuding a holy and noble aura that could not be desecrated or violated, and she looked at Ronan calmly.

"Aren't you going to sit down, Lord Damien?"

Selina's voice came from the end of the hall, echoing with a pleasant and cold sound like the collision of ice crystals.

"No need."

Ronan shook his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. This woman was too strong. Standing there, he felt suppressed from the inside out.

Selina didn’t say anything about Ronan’s deliberate distance, and said directly: “Thank you for everything you have done for Grace.

Make your request and I will do my best to meet it.”

"Grace is my friend and I never thought of anything in return."

Ronan replied.

"It's not just because of Grace."

Selina seemed to have anticipated Ronan's rejection and said calmly, "And you, I am also very interested in you."

"Um?!"

Ronan was stunned when he heard Selina's words and subconsciously touched his cheek.

Selina on the steps noticed his little action and said lightly: "What I mean is to invite you to join the royal court."

"Join the Royal Court?!"

Ronan slowly lowered his hand, a gleam in his eyes.

"You are from the Silver Circle"

Selina said calmly: "You should know that the silver magic ring comes from the almighty magic ring in the middle.

Coincidentally, the Almighty Circle is one of the pillars of our Mara Empire. The royal court has always been on good terms with the wizards of the Almighty Circle. If you follow me to the central region, I can personally recommend you to join the Almighty Circle, at least as a core member."

Ronan didn't say anything, but lowered his head to think, and Selena just looked at him quietly.

After a moment, Ronan looked up and said thoughtfully, "Is it because of Grace?"

This sentence seemed like a meaningless repetition. Selena had just mentioned before that it was not just because of Grace. However, after Ronan mentioned Grace again, Selena nodded instead.

"You are a smart man."

Serena's tone seemed to soften a bit, "Grace is very important to me, and this kind of importance is beyond your understanding.

And you are very important to Grace, and she is very lonely. You should know what I mean."

"clear."

Ronan nodded, "Grace is responsible for accompanying you, and I am responsible for accompanying Grace, right?"

Selena seemed to hear something in Ronan's words that made her feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't tell what it was.

Serena frowned and said calmly: "You can understand it this way for now, but in fact, what I want to express is not as cold as you think.
I can help you and Grace become a couple, and at least guarantee that you can ascend to Dawn together in the future.

You have good talent. If your potential can be fully developed, you may be able to reach great heights in the future.

But in the south, I'm sure everything would be a lot worse."

".If you have the ambition to ascend to Dawn before you are 100 years old, with your current strength, identity and background, it is almost an impossible goal.

To walk out of the fog and grasp the dawn, the most important step is the deep purification of mental and soul power, but this step has blocked many third-level wizards with outstanding talents and wisdom.

It’s not that they are not good enough, but they lack the corresponding inheritance.”

Selina said as she stretched out her right hand. A soft white light bloomed between her fair and slender fingers, and a suspended rune stone could be seen in the light.

“And I have this kind of heritage here.

Break through the fog, achieve the dawn, and nurture the Yuanling. You will need to use this secret method of purifying your mental and soul power in every stage you will go through in the future."

"Isn't there a magic ring?"

Ronan suddenly interrupted Selina.

"Of course there is an omnipotent ring."

Selina glanced at Ronan and said calmly: "But that will require you to pay a greater price and work harder to prove your worth, and the secret method you get in the end may not be comparable to the one I have now."

“This is a decision about your future.

I can tell you clearly that the strength of a wizard after Dawn depends largely on the grade of his Yuanling. The grade of his Yuanling determines your potential for advancement, and the grade of his Yuanling is determined by the quality of his mental and soul power.
Maybe the threshold of promotion from level 3 to level 4 will not stop you, but after level 4, you will feel that something is missing, and every step forward becomes extremely difficult.
Think about it, Damien."

Ronan fell silent at Selina's words.

The empty and magnificent hall fell into a brief silence. Everything seemed to be still, except for the dust under the central beam of light floating silently in the air.

After a moment, Ronan spoke.

"I figured it out."

There was a hint of satisfaction in Selina's eyes.

Ten minutes later, Ronan walked out of the beautiful white cottage.

His expression was calm, without any trace of emotion on his face, just like when he entered before.

However, he had just walked out of the hut not far when he was blocked by a figure.

"If you think you can win the favor of Her Highness Serena by hooking up with Grace... then that's wishful thinking."

Donnie, a young wizard wearing a moon-white robe and with a gloomy face, stood in front of Ronan and spoke with a sneer on his face.

"Oh?"

Ronan stopped and looked at him, then said calmly, "Then I will give you this opportunity to rise to the top?"

The young wizard Donnie was stunned for a moment. After half a breath, an angry look appeared on his handsome face, as if something had been exposed by Ronan in front of him.

"You ignorant kid!"

Downey suddenly emanated a powerful mental fluctuation belonging to a third-level wizard, and the air around him seemed to be completely emptied in an instant. Ronan stood in front of him without moving, his hair on his forehead and the robe on his body were blown high up by the sudden gust of wind.

"Donnie!"

A rapid scolding came from not far away, and the aura around Donnie suddenly stagnated, and then slowly converged.

He looked at Ronan deeply and walked away quietly.

Ronan turned around and met the calm eyes of the silver-haired witch.

He nodded slightly at the other party, and without caring whether the other party responded or not, he walked forward and soon disappeared behind the outline of a mound in the distance.

The silver-haired witch watched Ronan go away. When she could no longer see Ronan's back, she opened the door and walked into the cabin.

It was still the same empty and magnificent palace. The noble and holy Selena stood on the steps, concentrating on looking at her right hand which was surrounded by golden light.

"Your Highness."

The silver-haired female wizard bowed respectfully to Serena, who nodded slightly. After a moment's hesitation, Serena whispered, "The southern wizard...refused?"

"Yes."

Selina nodded calmly, without a trace of emotion on her porcelain-like perfect face.

"His soul age is no more than 30 years old, and he is about to be promoted to level three. His foundation is also quite solid, and the means he has mastered can even withstand a casual attack from Molly. Such talent may not be worth mentioning in the central region, but in the south, it is indeed outstanding, and it is normal for him to be a little arrogant."

"He gave up the opportunity to go with us to the central region, join the royal court, and enter the Almighty Circle for further study. Instead, he chose to take a few things from me directly, which was considered to be a complete truce with us."

The silver-haired witch couldn't help but shake her head and sigh: "How stupid."

"Not stupid at all."

Selina shook her head and said, "Compared to those southern wizards who kept coming to flatter us after knowing our background, his rejection made me even happier."

"That's because his vision is too shallow, just like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the bright moon in the sky. Those who are closer to the well know the vastness of the world outside the well better than he does. He doesn't even know what he is rejecting..."

The silver-haired witch replied.

Serena didn't say anything else, but just asked, "Where's Grace?"

"Your Highness Grace is fine. Your Highness."

The silver-haired female wizard hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This southern wizard is unwilling to follow us. Will Her Highness Grace..."

"It doesn't matter. After returning to the Central Region, I will naturally make better arrangements for Grace."

Selina said calmly, and the two quickly ended the topic.

For both Selina and the silver-haired witch, Ronan's appearance and departure was a very small matter, perhaps not even a small splash. From then on, they would no longer have any intersection.

Anyway, the opportunity has been given. Refusal is Ronan's own choice, and he will have to pay for any regrets in the future.

Just as the two continued to talk about other things, suddenly at some point, Selena's expression changed slightly when she was standing on the steps.

A layer of frost instantly covered the noble, perfect and beautiful face.

A complex and mysterious golden rune appeared between her eyebrows, and dense golden threads accompanied by white light flowed out of her body.

The next moment, she seemed to be wearing an extremely luxurious and exquisite battle armor, transforming into the legendary war witch who hunts monsters, and suddenly broke through the skylight on the dome of the hall.

"Boom!"

As soon as it appeared outside, it collided violently with a red cane that was burning with flames and spinning at high speed.

The energy frenzy that was set off instantly alarmed the third-level wizards stationed in the surrounding area, and powerful mental forces rose into the sky one after another.
"It's Molly..."

Ronan stood on a towering earthen slope in the innermost layer near the middle area, using his hands as an umbrella, looking at the sudden battle that broke out in the distance at the residence of the Court of Life.

He saw Molly's iconic red lotus cane.

The Ash Witch Mollyl and Selina are both from the central region, and she and Selina are mortal enemies.

Ronan did not find it strange that Molly appeared in the ruins of the ancient fairy city. What surprised him was that Molly directly attacked the headquarters of the Court of Life without any scruples.

"It seems that her background and strength should be equally strong, and she is not afraid of the Royal Court of Life at all."

After all, no ordinary wizard would dare to cause trouble for the princess of a huge wizard empire.

If the third-level wizard riding on the giant yellow bat entering the innermost area was like throwing a small stone into the mud, causing a few small splashes of water, then the battle between the Ash Witch Mollyl and the Court of Life Selina was like directly throwing a huge stone into the mud, causing the entire mud to shake.

The battle between the two lasted almost a whole day and night, and most of the wizards around the ruins of the ancient fairy city were alarmed by the noise they made.
