Lord Wizard

Chapter 207 Liquefaction

The Wizarding World.

The news that Lingding City had been swiftly and decisively captured by the army led by Lin Meng, the ruler of Zichen Kingdom, caused an immediate uproar.

Not only was the neighboring Frost Kingdom in a panic, but other small countries around it also sent people to inquire whether Lin Meng was simply seeking revenge for the Purple Emperor Kingdom or had the ambition to conquer the world.

Leaving aside the attitudes of the neighboring countries and the Frost Kingdom, many noble lords within the entire Kingdom of Aden were terrified of him.

As early as when Lin Meng invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Aden, these lords had already received orders from the Aden royal family to summon lords from all over the world to come to the aid of the king.

Each territory reinforced its army to varying degrees to assist the Aden royal family in resisting the invasion of Linmon.

Now that Lingding City has been breached and the Aden royal family has been wiped out by Lin Meng, they will probably be next.

But if they were asked to fight against Lin Meng, they wouldn't have the guts.

Even though there were one or two members of the royal family who managed to escape the net and called on the many lords in the country to rise up against Linmon's tyranny, very few people actually responded.

When the Aden royal family was still in power, they gathered an army of nearly 100,000 to guard Lingding City, but they still couldn't hold it, let alone now.

These lords are now hoping that Linmon will forget about them, so that they can get through this ordeal in peace.

However, this was clearly impossible. With the issuance of an edict by Lin Meng, all lords within the Kingdom of Aden were ordered to pay homage to Lingding City. Anyone who failed to arrive within half a month would be punished for treason.

Meanwhile, Eileen secretly spread the word that as long as the lords within Aden were willing to offer half of their property, they could keep their territories. All that was required was to nominally acknowledge the rule of the Zichen Kingdom over Aden.

If others spread these words, the lords would naturally not believe them, but since everyone mistakenly believes that Eileen is Lin Meng's woman, her words can be believed by many people.

Moreover, in their minds, wizards have always been high and mighty celestial beings, naturally having no time to manage such trivial matters.

And that was indeed the case. When the first lord near Lingding City offered half of his property to pay his respects, he did not see Lin Meng at all; he was only received by Eileen.

Because he was the most sensible, he was not only not stripped of his territory, but was also given a small piece of land that originally belonged to Prince Yaso to manage.

Only then were the surrounding lords relieved, and they went to Lingding City with generous gifts to pay their respects to Eileen.

At the same time, he looked down on Eileen for being so short-sighted, believing that she had only risen to power because of Lin Meng, and that she could accumulate half of her family's wealth again in less than ten years as long as the territory remained.

Little did they know that all of this was planned by Lin Meng according to the operating model in the real world.

If he were to directly order these lords to hand over half of their wealth, even if they did so out of fear of his power, they would still be unwilling and there was even a risk of them reneging.

However, since Eileen took the lead, they would only think she was greedy. And once one person successfully protected their territory, the other lords would naturally be willing to spend money to avoid trouble.

As for being incorporated into the Zichen Kingdom, it was simply a change of master to them.

Even though some people saw through Lin Meng's little trick, they were willing to play dumb for once in order to protect their territory.

Of course, not everyone is willing to serve Lin Meng and Zi Chen Kingdom as their masters. The Kingdom of Aden has ruled this land for hundreds of years, and there are still some loyal followers.

Lin Meng did not hesitate to send Zuo Qiu, along with several great knights who had come from various places, to their territory to conquer them.

Half a month later.

Lin Meng entered Winter City alone first, while Nero led several high knights who had surrendered from Aden, including Mien, and a mixed army of nearly 20,000 Aden surrendered soldiers and soldiers from the Zichen Kingdom, following behind.

The reason why one person arrived first was because the army was moving too slowly.

He had already reached Winterfell, but the army had not yet passed Carol City, and it would be at least a week before they arrived.

This wasn't Lin Meng's first time at the Lord's Mansion in Winter City. After simply greeting Noah, he immediately asked for a quiet room and plunged inside.

During his journey, Lin Meng discovered that as his strategy had taken effect, most of the lords in the Kingdom of Aden had chosen to pledge allegiance.

In his mind, this period of time had gradually increased his territory by nearly a million square kilometers. When the fiefdoms of the Aden royal family and the princes were included, his territory now amounted to more than 1.8 million square kilometers.

If he weren't on his way, he could have already gone into seclusion to try and break through to the Liquefaction Wizard level.

Now that he's in Winter City, why would he waste time on trivial matters? The sooner he breaks through to the Liquefaction Wizard level, the better his chances of winning will be.

After completing the task, Lin Meng felt the large patches of white fluorescence appearing on the fragments of the world. Overwhelmed with excitement, he quickly used his mental power to guide and integrate them into his own mind.

As the purest form of energy, the white fluorescent light caused Lin Meng's soul to rapidly condense as the mist formed from his spirit continuously poured in.

The mental energy also began to become increasingly dense, until it became so dense that it could no longer be refined.

The first drop of spiritual energy, like raindrops, was successfully condensed and merged into his soul.

This was the first time Lin Meng felt that his soul seemed to have some weight, and was no longer as ethereal as before.

As the teardrop-shaped spiritual energy continued to condense, Lin Meng was also able to clearly sense that he had a clearer feeling for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him.

If the speed at which you convert mana into spells using runes was 1 before, it has now reached 1.5 or even 2. And this is only an improvement in casting speed.

Furthermore, during meditation, one can clearly sense the presence of spiritual energy in the surroundings and absorb and transform it more effectively.

More importantly, his mental strength finally crossed the 15.0 mark and began to increase rapidly.

15.5!

16.0!

16.5!

16.7!

"It was just a hair's breadth away from reaching the pinnacle of liquefaction!"

Lin Meng felt it was a bit of a pity that even a full 1.8 million square kilometers only increased his mental attribute by 1.7.

The increase of less than 0.1 square kilometers is also his current mental attribute, which is much higher than before, causing an extreme imbalance in the various attributes of his body and wasting a lot of white fluorescence.

"Huh, what's going on here!"

As his mental strength increased, Lin Meng clearly felt a clearer understanding of the free-floating spiritual energy between heaven and earth, but the speed at which all his mental strength condensed into liquid in his mind actually slowed down.

At the current rate, it will take at least half a year, or even a year, for him to completely liquefy his mental energy.
