The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 75, Section 72: The New Home of the Goddess of Knowledge

The two mages opened the prison and took Alamir, who was bound in chains and wore a magic-suppressing collar, away. As they walked along the streets of the floating city, they attracted the attention of many mages along the way.

"Hahaha, that must be the Sun Elf mage who threatened to kill us all."

"How did things end up like this?"

Alamir was trembling with anger.

A few minutes later, Alamir was transferred to a small house on the edge of a floating city.

Although the interior is not luxurious, it has all the necessary normal living facilities.

Meanwhile, the house has glass windows on all four sides, allowing Alamir inside to see the bustling street scene outside.

"This is near my palace, close to the edge of the floating city. When the floating city is hovering at a low altitude, you can even hear the sounds below."

"How is it? It's a good place to stay, isn't it?"

Elian laughed.

In any case, according to his plan, humans would still do business with elves, so there was no need to mistreat Alamir, who was being held hostage.

Immediately afterwards, El-Erian snapped his fingers.

With a clang, all the chains binding Alamir came off, allowing him to move freely and eat and drink.

After doing all this, Elian turned and closed the door, leaving.

"Huh? No more constraints, you're ignoring me now?"

"What's the difference between this and letting me go?!"

Alamir was startled.

He sat patiently in his seat and waited for more than ten minutes.

Once he was sure that Elian and the others were completely gone, he immediately ran to the window, opened it, and prepared to escape by climbing out.

The next moment, eerie blue runes lit up the edge of the house, accompanied by crackling electrical sounds.

"Ahhhh!"

A blue electric current coursed through Alamir's body, followed by an invisible, immense force that knocked him to the ground.

"Oh right, I forgot to remind you."

El-Erian's voice suddenly echoed in the empty room:
“I have set up a barrier in your room. If you try to escape or attempt to remove the magic-suppressing collar by any means, it will automatically stop your movements and release an electric current.”

"Of course, this barrier is easy to break. Any ninth-ring mage can break its rune sequence by spending some time adjusting the flow of magic. Although you are just a mediocre novice legend, this task will be a piece of cake for you."

"Oh, sorry, I forgot: you are currently wearing a magic-suppressing collar and have no magic power."

Alamir was so angry that he stomped his feet:
"Damn it!"

Looking at the small house where Alamir was being held captive from afar, Elian smiled contentedly.

"Your Majesty, I heard you were looking for me?"

Just then, Ian's voice came from behind.

The goddess of knowledge, in her guise, approached Elian and bowed to him.

Elian turned to Ain and said:

"Madam, I heard you're planning to settle down in Eldorlon?"

Ain nodded, a smile on her face:

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, your country loves knowledge and your people are full of potential, which has left me with an extremely deep and wonderful impression."

"I plan to stay in Your Majesty's kingdom for a few years before embarking on a new journey..."

As a deity, Aion's lifespan has no end; a few years is but a fleeting moment for her.

She wanted to take some time to observe this newly born human kingdom up close.

And he decided that, before leaving, based on his observations, he would present this knowledge-loving, potential-filled nation and its king with a divine gift!
At this moment, El-Erian politely asked:

"May I ask where you live now, madam?"

Ain answered truthfully:
"I sold a spell scroll, rented a random apartment room, and moved in."

Are there really gods living in apartments?
This is so frustrating...

Knowing the other party's true identity, Elian wanted to laugh nine-tenths of the time when he heard this answer.

Of course, he also knew that the God of Knowledge would not pursue any luxurious enjoyment, let alone that this was just an incarnation, equivalent to a model figurine of the true god.

"Ms. Aenelia, you are a mage guest from the human settlement outside Eldoron, and you are one of only about a hundred high-level mages in the entire Eldoron. You are proof of the infinite potential of mankind."

"How could I let you live in such a cramped place?"

“Well then, I happen to have a vacant mansion, which I will bestow upon you.” Elion pointed to a magnificent house in the distance:

"Madam, that will be your new home from now on."

Ain bowed deeply, her face showing gratitude.

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

By the way, this house is right next to Alamier!
After seeing Aion off, Elion looked at the small house where Alamir was being held captive and smiled faintly.

Compared to the heavily guarded dungeon, this house was not guarded at all.

Alamir was sealed off entirely by the barrier erected by Erian.

“Alamir, this prisoner, is quite useful. He’s not only a bargaining chip to blackmail the Elven court into maintaining diplomatic and trade relations, but also a decoy.”

"This way, the hook is set by itself, and all that's left is for the fish to take the bait..."

El-Erian whispered silently, gazing at the distant western sky.

The human emperor's sharp gaze seemed to pierce through the clouds.

Flowing clouds and a gentle breeze rushed towards us from the front.

This enormous floating city, under Elian's control, is slowly flying towards the western frontier.

"It's time to go and meet the army of the Sun Elves..."

"We must let the Elven Royal Court know that the newly reborn Eldoron also has an army with an iron will!"

……

The incarnation of the goddess of knowledge, Ion, moved into her new home in the floating city of Eldoron.

Meanwhile, in the divine realm of the outer plane, in the vast and endless library composed of scrolls.

At this moment, the true form of Aion, the God of Knowledge and Prophecy, raised both hands, and between them, pure white light gathered, with countless runes seemingly flashing within the radiance.

Ion is creating an avatar.

A brand new, more powerful incarnation.

She has decided to send out avatars to land on the demonic stars that Elian mentioned before, such as "Hada of Dark Desire".

Those celestial bodies contaminated by forces from beyond dimensions!

As a deity with the authority to foresee the future, Ain could vaguely sense that these celestial bodies might contain a great threat. Therefore, this reconnaissance must be carried out with utmost care and thorough preparation.

In this era, although the gods had not yet formally established a covenant forbidding interference in mortal affairs, even when they did interfere, it was only through divine pronouncements or incarnations, not their true forms.

—For unknown reasons, once a deity attempts to descend into the material plane in its physical form, it will encounter tremendous resistance from the will of the material plane and face the immense malice of the will of the entire universe.

As a deity who barely reached the level of intermediate divine power, the avatars that Ain normally created would have a level of intermediate legendary strength and possess some of the special authority of a deity.

It is far stronger than Elementary Legendary characters such as Elian, Alamir Goldfleur, and Lia Sunburst.

However, this level of incarnation is probably not enough to explore a planet that may have extradimensional pollution.

At this moment, an even more powerful incarnation is gradually taking shape!

"This is an avatar specifically prepared for this interstellar exploration. Its abilities are biased towards the positive, so we should design it more in this direction."

"The tendency of superhuman powers is towards exploration and self-preservation; combat and destroying enemies are secondary."

"The incarnation contains a part of my original divine power, and is essentially a part of my divine body, only separated into two places."

As she watched another, smaller version of herself gradually take shape between her hands, Ain smiled.

……

The next morning.

The elven army of 1 soldiers finally crossed the small mountain ahead and arrived at the western border of the human kingdom of Eldoron!
"Uh, so this is the western border of the human kingdom of Eldoron?"

"Wait, what's going on?"

When they saw the scene before them, the elven army was completely dumbfounded—

Along the border, on the hillsides and highlands, are numerous permanent defensive fortifications constructed using "stone wall" and "iron wall" techniques, including many bunkers and bunkers.

More than 7000 orc zombies and orc skeletons, armed with various weapons, patrol tirelessly back and forth on the hillsides and in front of the river.

Hundreds of human warriors and barbarians, armed with shields and spears, stood ready in the rear, prepared to replenish the undead forces at any moment.

—They are warriors born from villages throughout centuries of bloody battles between humans and orcs! They have undergone unified training in the new era of Eldoron and can be conscripted at any time during wartime.

More importantly, it's the spellcasters!

Mages and warlocks, wearing badges of different ranks, were either scattered among the undead or formed specialized legions, always on high alert.

High in the sky, the enormous floating city hung above everyone's heads, casting a huge shadow on the ground, making the elven warriors feel a tremendous sense of oppression!
The undead legions, battle mage corps, and floating cities together guard the borders of Eldoron!
