This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 341 Arthur Solomon
The next day, everything in the territory and Madheart operated as usual. Isaac himself, along with Smith, Lorna, and Liuli, traveled directly to Solomon's Royal City via a teleportation array. He had some things to discuss with his elder brother Caesar.

"Uncle Isaac." As soon as they were teleported to Solomon's City, a handsome young man with blond hair and dressed in blue casual clothes was already waiting for them with several servants.

"Hmm." Isaac nodded casually, turned his head to look at the bright white teleportation hall, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Because he saw a trace of a fourth-order great arcane spell in it!

Isaac knew exactly what this meant. After all, he had some simple conversations with some arcane mages in the Wilderness Dungeon. This meant that his older sister was launching an attack on the fourth tier!
She's only been promoted a few years ago, why is she in such a hurry?
Arcanists are different from legendary wizards. Their advancement is not as simple as that of legendary wizards. It's like leveling up in a game. You need to accumulate enough experience to meet the requirements for job advancement.

Arcane mages value the accumulation and innovation of knowledge, so time and experience are very important!
Mensa Baros, a pillar of the empire, spent decades at the third tier, practically becoming accustomed to the knowledge of that tier, before finally advancing to the fourth tier.

Like legendary wizards, arcane mages also have "shortcuts," but few arcane mages do so, since the cost of taking shortcuts is much higher than that of legendary wizards.

But clearly, the eldest sister took the shortcut...

The shortcut to becoming an arcanist is to choose an existing fourth-order major arcane spell to learn and inscribe, rather than to research or create one's own.

It's important to understand that while arcane mages are powerful, their time in the field is relatively short compared to legendary wizards, and their foundation is relatively weak, especially in high-end combat. Starting from the fourth tier, the number of major arcane spells available to them is not large, as they need to consider not only future development but also compatibility with their own abilities.

While the learned arcane arts may be more perfect and powerful than those created by oneself, the difficulty of optimizing them in the future will be increased because they are not created by oneself, making them far less easy to use than those created by oneself.

Therefore, any arcane mage with a bit of ambition would never choose this path. So, is Solomon under that much pressure?
Thinking about it, Isaac sighed.

"Uncle Isaac?" Arthur Solomon looked at his uncle, who had inexplicably sighed after stepping out of the teleportation array, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's nothing, are you free, brother?" Isaac waved his hand and looked at his brother's eldest son.

“Grandpa and Father are already waiting for you in the palace.” With that, Arthur turned to the side, gestured for them to enter, and then led Isaac into the palace.

Isaac nodded, and led Smith and the others to follow Arthur, his nephew. He looked Arthur up and down, and shook his head helplessly.

Peak of a second-tier Grand Knight...

He was just one step away from the third level, just like his older brother back then.

This is one of the drawbacks of the Path of God Knights. Starting from the third rank, they need their own unique faith power, which cannot be shared. If others take more, they take less. And the higher they go on this path, the more faith power they need.

Therefore, although the knights of the God's Path are strong, they will basically switch to the Beast Path later on. The reason is simple: based on the special nature of the knights of the God, they are basically nobles, and nobles have to consider the matter of succession.

While knights' lifespans are not nearly endless like wizards', they are not short either. At least, high-ranking knights can easily live for three to five hundred years, so they are destined not to pass on their positions after death.

Even a crown prince who has been a prince for decades couldn't help but rebel, let alone one who has been a crown prince for hundreds of years.
Therefore, it is generally assumed that after a knight of the gods is promoted to the next rank, he or she must step down and switch to the path of magical beasts. The position of lord and the power of faith that he or she represents are inherited by his or her descendants.

However, this situation basically only occurs in the hands of established nobles. For emerging nobles, passing on the throne is not an option.

What a load of rubbish!
Now is the perfect time to strive!
Therefore, such territories usually have a "crown prince" who has lived for decades, or even for over a hundred years!
And without a doubt, Solomon's territory was such a place!
Furthermore, Arthur's situation was even more extreme. It should be noted that Solomon's territory had followed the same pattern before. His father Gaia was able to succeed him because his grandfather was a knight who followed the path of monsters. Originally, Caesar should not have had the right to inherit.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Caesar's talent, which was born with the "Supreme Bone," was too extraordinary, and even after his bones were "dug out," he was still incredibly powerful. This is why his father, Gaia, had the idea of ​​passing the throne to him.

Clearly, while Arthur's talent was not bad, it was still far inferior to Caesar's...

If he wants to advance further, he either needs to follow the path of magical beasts, or he needs to double the territory and population of the Kingdom of Solomon, and make enough contributions in the process to try the path of godhood, then quietly serve as the crown prince for a hundred or two hundred years before ascending the throne… But the latter…

Obviously impossible...

"Arthur, what are your thoughts on the future?" As they walked, Isaac suddenly asked Arthur, who was showing him around the royal city.

Upon hearing this, Arthur fell silent.

"I have no idea……"

Succession?

It's unlikely. His father, Caesar, was far more talented in both chivalry and politics than he could ever hope to achieve.

But should we follow the path of Warcraft?

He was still not entirely satisfied!

While the path of Warcraft is indeed a broad and promising road, this does not mean that the Solomon family's path of Warcraft is a smooth and promising road...

Their Solomon's knightly training method has its limits; the highest level one can reach is the third rank...

Grandpa was able to advance to the fourth rank because of the Path of Gods, and then switched to the Path of Monsters. If he had switched at the third rank, he definitely wouldn't be able to break through to the fourth rank now!
How could Arthur accept this?

but……

It seems he had no choice...

A powerful knightly legacy is not so easy to find.
"Don't you know? In that case, you can consider what I have to say. Don't misunderstand, I'm not asking you to inherit my territory." Looking at Arthur's suddenly bright blue eyes, Isaac mercilessly retorted, "I don't have the knight's legacy either, but I have a way to make you stronger. Whether it's not becoming human or a new path to transcendence, I can let you choose. Think it over first."

Upon hearing this, the light of hope that had shone in Arthur's eyes dimmed, but he quickly seemed to remember something, and suddenly looked at Smith behind Isaac, nodded after a moment of silence.

"Thank you, Uncle Isaac. I will seriously consider it!"

"Hmm." Isaac nodded casually, without saying anything more.

Although she made a promise to Arthur, in reality...

He didn't really have many options for him, except to become a pure-blooded dragon. The path to transcendence did have the option of a spellbreaker swordsman, but that was originally intended for Solomon, and its potential was limited, not to mention it didn't need to come to him.

But he wasn't lying to Arthur; could someone really die from holding in their pee?

There's no other way but to do the research.

It just so happens that his focus is now gradually shifting to exploring new worlds and new wizarding paths, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to also research the extraordinary paths of knights.
