Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 192 The Parthenon

The battle for the Nationalist government has come to a perfect end.

This competition is destined to be sung by many people.

The National Government team is waiting for the organizers to distribute the awards. The awards for the bottom two teams are easy to arrange; they will be sent out within a few days after the competition ends.

The first place winner will face many more challenges, as they will have to go to the Parthenon in Greece to receive a divine blessing.

So the Chinese team is still waiting in Venice.

This is a good time to relax and enjoy the good times.

Two players on the Chinese team had no interest in celebrating or enjoying themselves.

Jiang Yuan was thinking about what to do after advancing to the Super Rank.

At that time, he will completely control the armor and become a true ancient king.

There are so many things to do next, and each one will be a world-shaking event.

This forced him to carefully consider all the arrangements.

The other is Zhao Manyan, who received news of his father's critical illness after the competition ended.

Zhao Manyan walked along the streets of Venice, his mind heavy with thoughts.

Until a sexy woman greeted him.

"Hey handsome, can you take a picture for us?"

There was a man next to the beautiful woman, and the two had already posed for a photo.

“Okay,” Zhao Manyan said.

The two men handed over the camera, and Zhao Man reached out to take it. The man's smile instantly turned extremely sinister.

A chilling killing intent shot from his eyes, but Zhao Manyan, preoccupied with his low spirits, paid no attention.

"Let me help you take the photos."

Just as the man was about to carry out the assassination, another hand reached out and took the camera.

"Old Jiang, what brings you here?"

Zhao Manyan turned his head.

Jiang Yuan was fiddling with the camera in his hand.

"If I don't come soon, you'll be assassinated."

"Assassination?!"

Zhao Manyan suddenly looked at the man who had just been about to take a group photo.

The two looked utterly horrified and remained motionless in their pose for the photo.

They couldn't move even if they wanted to; they had been controlled by Jiang Yuan, or more precisely, by the secret Nine Nether Empress.

After all, these two assassins were high-level mages, and with Jiang Yuan's current strength, killing them would be much easier than controlling them.

"You've come to assassinate me? Who sent you?" Zhao Manyan didn't doubt Jiang Yuan's words and immediately questioned the assassin.

"."

“They can’t speak,” Jiang Yuan said.

"Okay, I know who sent them even if they don't tell me."

Zhao Manyan looked around, then shouted, "Zhao Youqian, I know it's you! Get out here!"

Before he could finish shouting, Jiang Yuan had already appeared in front of him, dragging Zhao Youqian along.

It's quite efficient.

"He's your brother, right? What are you planning to do with him?" Jiang Yuan threw Zhao Youqian on the ground.

"I never expected anyone to help you. You can kill me, but I will never forget you and our biased father!" Zhao Youqian said resignedly, his voice trembling with emotion at the end.

"Don't you have any humanity at all?" Zhao Manyan questioned.

Zhao Youqian said angrily, "Talking to me about humanity? How naive! It's all because my father forced me to do this."

Several hundred words have been omitted above.

It's simply that Zhao's father wants to leave the company to Zhao Manyan, who spends all his time having fun, while leaving Zhao Youqian, who works diligently and conscientiously, aside.

This caused Zhao Youqian to suffer from severe psychological imbalance.

That's why the assassination happened.

"What a good father, what a good father! Am I just a servant? Am I not his biological daughter?" "Why are you doing this to me?!"

"I'm going to kill you before he takes his last breath, so he can hear the news of your death before he dies!!!"

Zhao Youqian suddenly went berserk, his voice filled with malice and rage!
Upon seeing this, Zhao Manyan suddenly fell silent.

After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go, I won't kill you. I don't want Mom to be sad."

"Not kill?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Don't kill him, let him go." Zhao Manyan looked at the two assassins: "As for these two assassins, Lao Jiang, you kill them for me."

"it is good."

Jiang Yuan nodded and took the life of the imprisoned assassin.

Looking at Zhao Youqian, who was panting heavily from anger and resentment, Jiang Yuan said coldly, "Given your current position, you should be very clear about what I represent. If you try to assassinate Old Zhao again, you will bear the consequences."

He then abandoned Zhao Youqian and took Zhao Manyan back to their hotel.

"After the celebration, I will live in anonymity for a while," Zhao Manyan suddenly said on the way.

"Ok?"

“His jealousy will eventually lead him to send assassins to kill me again. Only by going into hiding can I avoid it. After all, you can't keep showing up like this to help me get rid of those assassins,” Zhao Manyan continued.

"So what do you plan to do after you go into hiding?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"What else can I do but give it my all? Let Zhao Youqian know that Dad's decision was absolutely right! When I reappear, I'll definitely lead the Zhao Group to new heights!"

Zhao Manyan raised his fist, his tone very firm.

"it is good."

Jiang Yuan nodded.

He decided to contact Hua Junshou to put some pressure on Zhao Youqian, which would also make things much easier for Zhao.

........................

A few days later, the Chinese team arrived in Greece by chartered plane.

The journey leads directly to the Parthenon.

Upon arriving at the sacred mountain, the group, led by their instructors from the National Academy, proceeded to the Temple of Faith at the foot of the mountain.

People flock here in droves. Most people come here to pray for health and longevity, while those of higher status spend a great deal of money to obtain blessings from the Temple of the Goddess.

Of course, those who bestow blessings are only the maids inside, and mostly the trainee maids.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to receive the goddess's praise and blessing," Feng Li said on the way up the mountain.

“I know, the goddess hasn’t been elected yet,” Jiang Yuan nodded.

His gaze fell upon the Star River Mountain Path, which led directly to the Goddess Temple halfway up the mountain.

“I heard that only the blessing of the Goddess Temple’s Divine Seal Praise will be stronger. Wouldn’t our Divine Seal Praise be a waste? Can we wait until after the Goddess election to perform the blessing praise?” Zhao Manyan said.

“That probably won’t work. There’s been a problem with the election, and it won’t be over in a short time. Our ceremony should be conducted by the Temple Mother; that would be quite good,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

The election went wrong.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan subconsciously looked towards the towering Goddess Palace.

Xinxia was chosen as a candidate for Goddess and was one of the electors.

He always felt that the problem lay with Xin Xia.

"It's okay, don't overthink it."

A hand patted Mo Fan on the shoulder, and he turned around.

“You don’t need to worry about Xinxia’s safety. She calls me brother too, doesn’t she?” Jiang Yuan said.

"How did you know what I was thinking?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

"I can tell just by looking at your expression," Jiang Yuan shrugged.

Continue climbing the sacred mountain.

According to the long-standing tradition of the Parthenon, the only way to get up there is to climb the massive staircase.

However, the "Ten Thousand People Ladder" only goes up to the Knights' Hall. To go any further, one must use the Star River Mountain Path.
