What if you ascend to the wrong world?

Before long, Ivia finally recovered from the blow of losing 500,000 gold coins.

After all, in her mind, no matter how much she wanted it, the 500,000 gold coins would never come back, so there was no need to waste her energy on something she could not have.

Like the classic half-full water problem in the desert, she always had the mindset of "I still have half a bottle of water left".

The most important thing in life is to be happy.

So after asking Ye Tu about the maid's whereabouts, she left with Irene Vitte.

The main interest was in the accommodation that the president had arranged for Irene Wett.

After all, the chairman is a legendary figure, and Irene Wet is his only blood relative, so the residence arranged for her must be very luxurious, right?

Ye Tu, however, stayed behind.

In half a month, he will be going to the border of the Saint Clu Empire with the Goddess of Light to deal with the church that has been corrupted by 'lust'. He plans to ask Daphne about the situation of the Saint Clu Empire.

As night deepened, the stars twinkled.

The spine of the 'Godslayer Sword', from Daphne's private workshop.

Because of its high elevation, one can see most of Skye Island through the windows.

Beneath the thin, wispy clouds, lights of various colors flickered, densely woven together, flowing as if alive.

Every now and then you can see creatures that only exist in mythology flapping their wings and flying by.

Compared to the overly quiet city of Loser at night, the night on the Isle of Skye is more like a never-ending stage, where many people want to find their place.

But in the end, very few of them were able to stay.

"When I was little, Ivia liked to stand by the window and look down."

Daphne handed a cup of tea to Ye Tu.

"But I don't come here much anymore after I grew up."

Perhaps it's because I assigned her too many potion lessons?

Ye Tu didn't reply, but instead looked at the huge boiler in the center of the workshop, where the medicinal liquid was churning and bubbles of all sizes were constantly rising.

"You're going to use this for 'alchemy'?"

Is there a problem?

"...I'll give you a blueprint later, and you can find someone to order a pill furnace."

Once one's mastery of Daoist alchemy reaches a certain level, one indeed need not care about these external things.

But hasn't she reached that level yet?

A suitable alchemy furnace is still very useful.

Daphne's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"So, the reason why the pills I refined before kept having problems was actually because the 'alchemy furnace' was wrong?"

"Part of the reason."

The strange and unusual effects of the finished pills should have nothing to do with the 'alchemy furnace'.

It mainly depends on the alchemist...

The alchemist himself.

Daphne completely ignored Ye Tu's last sentence.

I knew it!

How could none of the pills I refined myself be usable!

It turns out the problem was with the 'alchemy furnace'!

“…Tell me about the Saint-Kru Empire,” Ye Tu said. “How much do you know about this country?”

"The Saint-Kru Empire..."

Daphne shut down the magic circle that was heating the boiler.

"That was a kingdom dominated by 'divine blood nobles'."

"They call themselves 'descendants of gods,' are extremely arrogant, and are a very annoying bunch."

arrogant?

Ye Tu paused.

"However, their origins are indeed very mysterious, and they may really be connected with a certain deity."

As she spoke, Daphne walked to the workbench and took out a test tube filled with bright red liquid.

"Moreover, every 'divine blood noble' is a born extraordinary professional; they are born as first-tier extraordinary professionals."

"As they grow older, they will naturally grow to the second stage."

"The association has studied their blood and found that there is indeed a very high level of power deep in their blood."

She handed the test tube to Ye Tu.

Given this inherent difference in power, one can easily imagine the state of affairs within the Saint-Kru Empire.

The nobles of divine blood, relying on their innate power, indulged in extravagance and debauchery, solely for their own enjoyment.

The common people at the bottom of society are merely 'fuel,' spending their entire lives serving the nobles of divine blood.

Not all of them, but the vast majority live lives worse than death.

Ye Tu took the test tube filled with bright red liquid and observed it for a while.

Then Daphne continued:

"Recently, the Saint-Kru Empire has been in great chaos due to the uprising. Unless it is something particularly urgent, it is best not to go there..." She paused here.

"Of course, this applies to ordinary people."

For Ye Tu, even the most chaotic situation wouldn't change much.

"Rebel army?"

"Yes, according to information from within the association, the leader of this uprising is a third-tier extraordinary professional who has undergone three spiritual transformations."

The fact that nobles of divine blood are born as extraordinary professionals is indeed an advantage.

But this also limits their potential.

The Saint Kru Empire has no 'Sanctuary', and even its strongest emperor is only a third-tier transcendent professional.

Now, facing a rebel army with a third-tier peak extraordinary professional, the pressure is unimaginable.

"Because of this matter, the royal family of the Saint Kru Empire has sought help from the Mage Association and other forces many times."

After all, it is a third-order vertex.

Let's not even talk about whether we can win.

You expect those 'divine blood nobles' who crave pleasure and cower in the face of trouble to fight a superhuman of the same level?

In contrast, they would still prefer to hire a Saint from outside.

It may cost a lot of money, but it's still better than struggling on your own.

"What is the Mage Association's stance on this matter?"

“I was not involved in the decision-making process.” Daphne looked at the test tube in Ye Tu’s hand.

All I know is that the association refused.

"Compared to the royal family of the Saint Kru Empire, the guild master and several other Saint Magisters are more willing to aid the rebels."

It's not that I dislike the behavior of those nobles with divine blood...

Ok!

Actually, there is a little bit.

Others might not understand, but her mortal enemy had been loathing those noble bloodlines for a long time.

Four years ago, a prince of the Saint-Cru Empire publicly declared his desire to marry her arch-rival as his queen...

If that's all there is to it, then it's nothing.

Although he was her mortal enemy, she had to admit that he had a really good temper.

What truly escalated the conflict was that the prince, throughout his remarks, maintained an attitude of "it's your honor that I've taken a liking to you."

And there hasn't been a reply yet.

Meanwhile, the Saint-Cru Empire was already making a big fuss, with the wedding procession blocking their door.

The guy's student tried to stop him, but was whipped so badly by the prince's guard that his skin was torn and bleeding.

He's a seventh-tier Saint Magister, after all!

Although she has a good temper, she is not one to be bullied like this.

So, as soon as that guy came out, he used [Blood Vine Technique] to hang up the prince and the guard who had attacked him and whip them into dried-up corpses.

As a result, the Saint-Cru Empire even sent a letter condemning her behavior.

He was so angry that he almost attacked the Saint Kru Empire because he said she didn't respect the 'descendants of the gods'.

In the end, the guild leader intervened and forced the emperor of the Saint-Kru Empire to apologize in person, and only then was the matter considered closed.

But given what happened, you can imagine what that guy's attitude towards the Divine Blood Nobles was like.

Of course, while that guy's attitude is important, it only accounts for a part of the equation.

The main reason for deciding to aid the rebels was to test the royal family of the Saint-Kru Empire.

After all, even the dwarf race has a Saint-level professional!

These noble bloodlines don't even have a single Holy Domain, yet they're so arrogant all the time.

Either they're out of their minds, or they really have something to rely on.

This is in light of the fact that they are born as extraordinary professionals, and their usual behavior.

Obviously!

Both.

It's true that he has mental issues, but it's also true that he has a trump card up his sleeve.

Taking advantage of the uprising, we can test the waters.

It doesn't matter if we fail; at least we've found out the true nature of the Saint-Kru Empire's royal family.

If successful...

That's even better!

Using the pretext of avenging the royal family of the Saint-Kru Empire, he directly took control of the entire Saint-Kru Empire.

Regardless of the final outcome, the Mage Association will not lose out.

Other factions likely share the same idea as the Mage Association, which is why they haven't taken any action.

Apart from……

"To this day, only the Church of the God of Wealth has agreed to provide them with assistance."

Rather than waiting for everything to settle down before snatching food from the mouths of numerous powerful forces, they prefer to put what they can get into their pockets now.

"The first batch of reinforcements they send should arrive in the Saint-Kru Empire in ten days."

A battle group composed of ten Tier 3 commanders, one hundred Tier 2 commanders, and two thousand well-trained Tier 1 commanders.

Yes.

There is no sanctuary.

Testing the true nature of the Saint-Kru Empire's royal family is a shared aspiration among the Saint-level professionals, and the Church of the God of Wealth cannot afford to go against it.

In fact, if it weren't for the sudden change in the Dawn Empire, the reinforcements from the Church of the God of Wealth would have set off much earlier.

"Ask these questions... Ye Tu, are you planning to go to the Saint-Kluge Empire?"

"I made an appointment with someone to take care of some things."
