Chapter 57 - Great Mage Protector.
Chapter 57: Great Mage Protector.
Lei Luo’s gaze fell on Ling, who was lying on the soft couch. His hair was draped over his shoulders, and he was enjoying the dance.
“Senior, Sister, besides me, you’re the only ones who have seen Yali’s dance. How is it? Isn’t it exceptionally beautiful? You won’t find another one as good in the world!” Ling said with a smile.
“Ling, how did you become like this? Look at what you have done. Look at what you have done to the Faroe Kingdom. How disappointed would father be if he saw this scene?”
Tears rolled down Wei’s eyes as she looked at her brother, who she was extremely unfamiliar with, and sobbed.
“Sister, didn’t I do everything well? I believe that if father knew, he would be very happy because I will soon build a great foundation for the Faroe Kingdom that will last for ten thousand years!”
Ling smiled.
The dance ended.
The queen floated back to Ling’s side, her every move was filled with boundless charm.
“Your Majesty, is this gray-robed mage the invincible pseudo-ultimate mage?”
The queen’s beautiful eyes fell on Lei Luo and were incomparably charming. Just a slight smile was enough to bewitch mortals.
However, it was of no use to Lei Luo.
Because his magic power was much higher than hers.
“Princess, this should be him. I didn’t expect Senior to hide it so deeply.”
Ling smiled gently and said, “Senior, why did you and Wei barge into my palace? Although I respect you very much, there is still a difference between a king and a subject.”
“Your Majesty, what you have done has already caused the Faroe Kingdom to fall into chaos. In the future, the Faroe Kingdom and those innocent people will suffer, I had no choice but to appear,” Lei Luo said calmly.
“Senior, you don’t approve of my actions either?”
Ling was a little surprised.
“I am not opposed to your Majesty pushing for a ban on magic. As long as there are good legal restrictions, this matter can indeed help the Faroe Kingdom to become more stable. However, your Majesty is too radical. Without a comprehensive plan, without considering the current environment, forcefully pushing for it would be a tyranny,” Lei Luo said calmly.
“Senior is right. Under the circumstances, I should do this. However, how long will it take? It’s too long. I can’t wait for long.”
Ling shook his head and said, “Therefore, no one can stop my plan. Not mother, not sister, not Senior. If you leave now, I will pretend that nothing has happened.”
Wei wanted to speak but was stopped by Lei Luo.
“Your Majesty, do you know what the late king said when he summoned me before he died?” Lei Luo said calmly.
“Senior, I’m really curious.”
Ling smiled and said, “If I’m not wrong, father should have known that you were the invincible pseudo-ultimate mage, right?”
“The late king said this: I can’t do it anymore. I can only leave the rest of the road to Ling. His personality looks like mine, but I know that he is too arrogant. With me suppressing him, perhaps he won’t take the wrong path, but if I leave, he will be a runaway horse. No one can predict what kind of situation he will bring to the Faroe Kingdom. Great mage Lei Luo, I have one last request. If he goes in the wrong direction, please help me pull him.”
Lei Luo used an extremely calm tone to recount what the King had said before he had died a few years ago.
Even now, Lei Luo still remembered it well.
It had to be said that compared to Ling, the late king was really a good king.
Unfortunately, the good situation that he had built up after half a lifetime had been completely destroyed by Ling in just a few years.
Hearing Lei Luo’s words, the hall became extremely quiet.
Wei’s face was full of tears because she thought of her father.
Ling’s expression also froze. He stared at Lei Luo as he was mumbling to himself, “Senior, did father really say that?”
At this moment, Ling seemed to be reliving the past where his father was still alive. His originally cold and emotionless face revealed a gentle expression.
Suddenly, the queen who had been silent all this while spoke.
“How ridiculous. You are just a mere student. What right do you have to interfere in His Majesty’s matters?”
Ling seemed to have suddenly woken up, and his expression became gloomy.
“Senior, I’ll say it for the last time. Leave now and we’ll pretend that nothing has happened,” he said in a deep voice.
Even if the senior was an invincible pseudo-ultimate mage, he could not stop his plan.
Ling shook his head. Lei Luo took out a wooden box that he carried with him. He opened the lid and took out a scroll.
“Your Majesty, do you know what this is?”
This was the scroll that the king had given him back then.
Since he was going to interfere in this matter, Lei Luo had to definitely think of a way to stand at the highest point.
Although with his current strength, he could completely conquer everything, that would be meaningless.
He couldn’t let the king’s scroll be buried in dust, right? Now was a good time to bring it out and let Ling see how wise and farsighted his father had been.
“This… This is?”
Ling frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Father left an order for Senior? Could it be used to keep me in check?”
“Your Majesty will know when you see it.”
Lei Luo smiled calmly. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the scroll in his hand flew out.
In the process of flying out, the scroll was opened and the contents were revealed.
“I announce: Lei Luo has rendered great meritorious service to the Faroe Kingdom and is specially conferred the title of the country’s Great Mage Protector. With this scroll in hand, he has the right to supervise the new king. If the new king is corrupt, he can be reprimanded, flogged, or abolished…”
When Ling received the scroll and saw the contents, he was completely stunned.
“No wonder Senior has the confidence to interfere in my affairs. It turns out that he relied on the orders of the late king.”
Ling suddenly stood up, his eyes turning extremely terrifying, “Great mage to protect the kingdom, although the late king has granted you the right to supervise me, you must know that this world ultimately relies on strength to speak for itself. Even if you are an invincible pseudo-ultimate mage, if you want to berate me, flog me, or abolish me, then we will have to see if you have the ability to do so.”
“I know that His Majesty has many pseudo-ultimate mages by his side. Let them all come out.”
Lei Luo sighed.
From the way the king called him the great mage of the kingdom, he knew that the relationship between the two of them had completely disappeared.
However, he did not care.
He was just a little sad.
The little fellow who had followed him back then and called him Senior had finally grown up.
“Alright, I want to see if the great mage of the kingdom can be invincible!”
Ling sneered and clapped his hands.
Immediately, figures walked out.
There were five people in total.
They were all wearing black robes and masks, and their auras were terrifying.
The moment Lei Luo entered the hall, all five pseudo-ultimate mages had already locked onto him as if they had laid a huge net to trap him.
It was clear that from the very beginning, the five of them had no intention of letting Lei Luo go.
