"There are only three Level 7 demonic tides in the world right now, which isn't many. I can handle them all by myself with a little effort... But this is only temporary. There will definitely be more and more Level 7 demonic tides in the future."
"So you must complete your studies as soon as possible, pass the assessment, become official members, and go to various places to guard the seals and share my burdens, understand?"
"Understood!"
The girls responded in unison once again.
"very good."
Amélie was very satisfied with the girls' attitude and spirit, and waved her hand:
"Bring them all up, Sisi."
"Yes, Miss."
Marcy, who had been standing behind Emerald, responded and then called over a dozen Scarlet Moon maids to carry things into the room.
They were metal boxes the size of suitcases. Each of the Scarlet Moon maids could carry three boxes at a time by holding them in both arms. It took several minutes to carry all 186 boxes over and place them in front of each girl.
"Open them all and take a look."
After all the boxes were arranged, Emery smiled and said to the girls:
"This is the Demon-Suppressing Armor I designed especially for you. It can also be considered the standard magical armor of the Demon-Suppressing Sisterhood. The performance of the Demon-Suppressing Armor will definitely be upgraded in the future, but the appearance will probably not change much."
Magical Mystic Code!?
The girls' eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
In the Allen Federation, magical artifacts are very common, and ordinary households have many of them. But magical costumes are different, especially custom-made magical costumes, which are a complete symbol of status and prestige.
Upon becoming disciples of Emerald, the girls knew they would definitely receive magical artifacts, but almost all of them assumed they would only receive them after completing their studies. They were pleasantly surprised to receive them so soon after joining the sect.
Upon opening the metal box, the girls immediately noticed that the style of these magical costumes was very similar to the clothes Emerald was wearing today.
These styles all resemble nuns' outfits, but incorporate a touch of knightly elements, allowing young women to exude charm while also gaining a dashing air.
After a curious girl put on the demon-suppressing armor, she immediately fell into a daze... Is this really something that can be made with current technology?
What is an augmented reality accessibility interface?
What is an AI-assisted module?
What is a fully managed model?
There are also multiple functional modules such as seal inspection, seal maintenance, lie detection, non-lethal and lethal damage... Does the teacher really need students to help her check the seal?
It feels like these devices can do all the work by themselves... Are we students just humanoid sources of magic?
"It seems you are all very happy with my little gift."
Emerald deliberately let the girls study their respective demon-suppressing weapons on their own for a while before clapping her hands again to make them look at her:
"Since that's the case, it means you've accepted this job... So don't waste another minute. Start training hard from this moment on. I will train you well."
Amelie did what she said she would do.
The girls who became her disciples immediately faced an extremely arduous training life.
The hardship here doesn't refer to material conditions; their material conditions are actually top-notch.
Each pair of partners has a luxuriously decorated suite in their dormitory, equipped with all kinds of the most advanced life-related magical circuits, with facilities comparable to a five-star hotel on Earth.
Other necessities such as food, clothing, and daily necessities are also top-notch. The material living conditions of these girls can be said to be better than when many of them were young ladies at home.
But they still felt that this spiritual practice was very difficult.
Because Emery arranged too much of a course for them.
The magic in this world is so useful that it can quickly eliminate all kinds of fatigue, so Amelie assigned more study tasks to her students than the college entrance exam candidates on her previous life's planet, Earth.
Students preparing for the college entrance exam can at least get some sleep at night, in addition to doing practice questions every day. But students in Emerald can't even get a night's sleep.
Emerald would use special magic to pull all the students into a dream, and make sure they could clearly remember the contents of the dream after waking up.
Using this spell, Amelie taught the girls in her dreams every day, teaching them the knowledge and skills of various sealing spells.
After the girls woke up from their dream-based theoretical learning, they would begin intensive practical training the next day, applying the knowledge they had gained in their dreams.
There's no need to worry about overworking yourself. Emerald is proficient in holy healing magic and has the entire Crimson Moon family by her side, making them arguably the strongest healing team at the time. Even if the girls were to die from exhaustion, they could be brought back to life. Not to mention, every day, Crimson Moon maids or Crimson Moon sisters would use the Flame of Life to eliminate fatigue and replenish energy for the girls, so they simply wouldn't get tired.
Under such intense study and training, the girls suffered a bit, but they also completed their studies very quickly.
In about half a year, the best-performing pair among all the girls, Awani from the wild tribe and Shirakawa In from Shangying Kingdom, completed all their studies and achieved quite good results in the final assessment.
Emerald personally held a graduation ceremony for Avani and Shirakawa In, and then couldn't wait to send them to a level 7 magic tide seal to officially take up their posts.
There's no way around it; in the past six months, the Level 7 magic tide has begun to erupt explosively. Currently, there are three Level 7 magic tide seals within the Allen Federation alone, and a total of 11 worldwide.
If the students don't graduate and start working soon, Emery will be too busy just patrolling the various sealing points every day.
In the past six months, besides being busy sealing the level 7 magic tide and teaching her students, Emerald has also been keeping an eye on intelligence from all sides.
On the other side of the fog-shrouded sea, the eerie fog had thinned considerably, and more than a kilometer of water near the coastline was no longer covered by the fog.
If this pace continues, according to Lily's calculations, the fog over the Sea of Fog should completely dissipate in about three more years, and the secret hidden for ten thousand years will be fully revealed.
On the other side, the Slater family, who had always been the riddle-solvers, finally began to take more significant action.
The news of the explosive outbreak of a level 7 demonic tide could not be kept secret. After all, every time a level 7 demonic tide occurs, nearby towns have to take temporary refuge, and hundreds of thousands of people are affected each time.
Although Amérite has sealed off each Level 7 demonic tide in time so far, causing almost no damage, people are still worried.
As everyone can see, the frequency of these level 7 demonic tides is too high, and each level 7 demonic tide cannot be completely eliminated; it can only be sealed and suppressed.
If something can be sealed and suppressed, then there is naturally a possibility of breaking the seal.
As more and more Level 7 demonic tide seals are placed across the country, where can people finally live a peaceful and safe life?
Furthermore, currently only Amelite is capable of sealing a level 7 demonic tide in the entire world. If something happens to her or she decides to quit, then...
In short, Saintess Emerald's reputation grew even stronger, but there were also many pessimists who believed that if a way to completely eliminate the Level 7 demonic tide could not be found, human civilization would most likely perish because of the demonic tide.
It was around this time that the Slater family began to operate, publicly declaring that the emergence of the magic tide was related to magic power... the more people used magic power, the more magic tides would appear.
The Slat family probably didn't know about Ji Yue's attainment of the Void Realm, so they blamed it on the top experts and the Federation's rapidly developing magical technology, saying that if the Federation continued to grow stronger, it would be doomed, and the only way to save itself was to give up using magic and return to nature.
To this end, the Slater family also created an organization called the Ark Salvation Society, which was frequently active throughout the Federation.
The Ark Salvation Society mainly does two things.
The first thing to do was to make public and amplify what the Slater family had done before.
They chose a basin in the northern part of the Federation, near the snowfields but where the climate wasn't too cold, with no other large towns around.
They built a new city in the basin, which took more than two years, and they did not use any magic or magical artifacts during the construction process. The workers built it entirely by physical strength.
This is a city specifically designed for those who reject magic. No magic-related technologies are used in the city, and all necessary resources, such as food, are obtained through natural farming and cultivation.
The Slater family had previously captured and kept magic-repelling people from several villages in order to research a technology that would allow magic-repelling people to build urban settlements and live there. Now they have succeeded.
The Slater family named this newly built city the City of the Ark, claiming that when magical civilization is destroyed by the reckoning of the magical tide, only the City of the Ark, which does not use magic at all, will be spared.
Currently, many magic rejecters in the Federation have already moved into Ark City, and even more magic rejecters are preparing to relocate.
The second thing is that the Ark Salvation Society also announced a new technology, developed by the Riddler Debbie Slater.
The Slater family had worked with Langdon before, and Debbie Slater had served as his research assistant for over a year. She greatly admired Langdon's talent and was suspected of having a crush on him.
But Debbie wasn't love-struck. During her time as Langdon's assistant, she learned a lot about his knowledge and research methods. After being fired by Langdon, she went on her own and never gave up on her dream.
Langdon's dream remains unfulfilled, but Debbie Slater has succeeded.
Debbie Slater successfully developed a magical potion, which she named the Magic Elixir. Its effect is that after taking the potion, the magic power in the body will disappear... As long as one stops cultivating, one will go from being a spellcaster to an ordinary person.
Of course, the effects of magic potions are limited. Magic-dispelling potions are currently only effective for first-stage cultivators and ordinary magic-affinity users, and have little effect on second-stage cultivators.
Even so, the Ark Salvation Society still made the formula for the antidote public and was willing to provide it to anyone free of charge, calling on those who could give up using magic to do so, saying that this was the only way to save themselves in the apocalypse of the magic tide.
Giving up magic... most people would definitely not be willing to give that up, after all, life with magic is too convenient.
For people who have used various everyday spells since childhood, giving up magic is almost like cutting off their limbs. Many people would become completely useless after losing their magic and would not even be able to support themselves.
Therefore, although the Ark Salvation Society set up mobile stalls in many cities to distribute magic-dispelling potions for free, most people just watched and observed. Even if someone took the magic-dispelling potion, they would take it back to do research and experimentation. Almost no one was truly willing to give up magic.
Moreover, many powerful individuals are also very dissatisfied with the Ark Salvation Society and the Slater family behind it.
Because in the propaganda of the Ark Salvation Association, it is as if the current outbreak of a level 7 magic tide in the world is entirely the fault of the strong, and of course the strong are unwilling to take the blame.
In this situation, it's inevitable that some powerful figures will have designs on the Slat family, especially those who are in the pharmaceutical business. Many of them have long wanted to bring down the Slat family so as to seize Slat Pharmaceuticals' market share.
However, even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily. Although the Slater family has declined somewhat, it was once a top conglomerate second only to Merson and Lohid, and it still has considerable power.
Taking action against the Slater family will inevitably cause great turmoil in the Allen Federation.
Now almost all the powerful figures know that the "Ai" in the Allen Federation is the same as the "Ai" in "Aimerite," and Aimerite is currently engrossed in playing the game of being a saintess, sealing off the demonic tides and putting out fires everywhere.
If a major conflict were to erupt at this time and cause chaos, it would anger Emerald... just look at those squid people who have already been erased from the history of the Federation.
However, the Slater family's propaganda did indeed disgust the powerful, and Emery was undoubtedly the strongest in the Federation at present, so she should also hate the Slater family.
Let's try to find out what she thinks... what if she really agrees?
But nowadays, Emerald is not someone that just anyone can see. Even a third-stage powerhouse needs to make an appointment and apply to see her, and in most cases, the application will fail.
Because Amelie is indeed too busy right now, dealing with the level 7 magic tide seals in various places, teaching the members of the Demon Suppression Sisterhood... Even if she really has free time, wouldn't it be better to use it to date and flirt with her wives? Why does she need to see other people?
Unable to meet with Emeryte, the ambitious and powerful individuals had no choice but to settle for meeting with Sulina instead.
Although Julia is nominally Mrs. Melson now, everyone knows Julia's personality all too well. If you tell her you have a conspiracy to harm others, she'll definitely beat you up first and forcibly correct your dangerous thoughts.
Therefore, those powerful figures could only try to get information from Su Lina. Although Su Lina still serves as a chair for Ameliete, she is the president's assistant of Blue Star Group and Melson Entertainment, and is definitely one of the top three most powerful figures in Ameliete's sphere of influence.
Sulina herself is a magic practitioner and has always wanted to go further, to gain more youth and lifespan through greater strength, so that she can stay by Amelie's side for longer.
Now that the Slater family is advocating that everyone should give up magic, Sulina is quite annoyed.
So, after Emerald had experienced the game of the tyrant again, Sulina, dressed in an oriental-style gauze dress, nestled obediently in Emerald's arms and asked her in a soft and seductive voice:
"What do you think of the Slater family, young lady? Quite a few people find their propaganda annoying and want to take action against them..."
"No."
Emerald remained entwined with Sulina, lost in her love for Messe, but her reply was firm and unquestionable:
"I will not allow anyone to lay a hand on the Slater family or the Ark Salvation Society. If anyone dares to do anything, I will make them disappear completely!"
"...Understood, your will."
Su Lina first obediently agreed, then continued playing the tyrant game, asking curiously in a very charming voice:
"Your Majesty, could you please enlighten me on why this is?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Emery glanced at Sulina, pinched her twice, then closed her eyes again and hummed twice:
"Tell your beloved concubine that you are fine, but you are not allowed to tell anyone else."
"Actually, what the Slat family is saying isn't wrong. The power of the magic tide is indeed closely related to magic power. The more magic power we use, the stronger the magic tide becomes... As for whether we are truly unafraid of the magic tide after giving up the use of magic power, that remains to be verified."
"But in any case, the Slater family's actions show that they truly want to save the world. Based on their own understanding, they have made their best efforts in their own way."
"I can still seal and suppress the current demonic tide, and I'm trying to find a way to completely resolve it... But what if one day I can't resolve it anymore, or what if I get tired and don't want to do it anymore?"
"I don't want to be the kind of hero who protects the world for the rest of my life, it's too tiring... So when I don't want to do it anymore, I'll run away at any time, and of course I'll take you guys with me."
"At that time, the world will inevitably face a huge crisis of civilization destruction, and the Slater family and the Ark Salvation Society, which seem ridiculous now, may be the last hope at that time."
Chapter 392 The Mist Dissipates, Ruins of a Pre-Era Civilization!
What Emery said to Sulina was truly from the bottom of her heart.
She's currently busy running around dealing with the Level 7 demonic tide, and it's not because she's a saint or a hero and therefore has to protect the world.
It's not that I've gone to great lengths to turn this world into my own garden, but these maggots from who-knows-where are disgusting me. So I definitely need to find a way to kill the pests and clean up my garden.
But if there are too many maggots and they can't be killed, then this lady is not incapable of abandoning this garden and going to play somewhere else.
This is Amelie's true thought, and she has the confidence to think this way.
If this world truly cannot be defended due to the overwhelming ferocity of the demonic tide, Emerald will definitely try to escape. At that time, whether she seeks refuge with the goddess who blesses her or with Ji Yue, who has become the carefree demon god, both would be good choices.
The women around Emerald would definitely not oppose her. The only one who might refuse to leave and choose to live or die with this world is probably Yulia... Even if Emerald defeats and seals Yulia first, she will still forcibly take her away.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. The situation is far from that point. What Emerald wants to do is turn this world into her garden, where flowers bloom for her and birds sing for her.
