Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 554: Heirs

With things having come to this point, there seemed to be no more ripples.

One month later, Jiang Xinran left, but she left behind a full notebook of Magical Insight Notes, all intended for Hathaway.

Two months later, under Second Aunt's meticulous care and conditioning, the first batch of successfully enhanced 5-Star Warhorses passed with a 100% success rate.

Second Aunt's ability in this area was beyond doubt.

It is worth mentioning that before this, Jiang Xinran also requested Second Aunt to prepare a few types of high-level Magic Potions for her, exchanging them for Magical Insight Notes.

After Second Aunt asked Li Wei for instructions, he agreed.

Jiang Xinran still had some surplus value that could be squeezed out.

Three months later, the second batch of 5-Star Warhorses was successfully enhanced.

Four months later, the last batch of 5-Star Warhorses was successfully enhanced. At this point, Li Wei already had fifty-two 5-Star Warhorses in his hands. This was enough to form a true elite assault cluster, to display their divine might on the battlefield and pierce through enemy lines to their heart's content.

The power of a 5-Star Warhorse could be compared to the effect of Lord Guan obtaining the Red Hare; the bonus it provided to the Cavalry profession was immense.And regarding the distribution and use of these fifty-two 5-Star Warhorses, as well as the application of tactics, a massive discussion arose within the Blazing Legion.

Because the Blazing Legion currently consisted of 832 men, three Chiliarchs, and forty-two Centurions. Their combat power was truly maxed out. Next, they only needed to wait for Hathaway to wake up, and then they could start enhancing their Profession Cards, upgrading them from Common to Rare. This process didn't require Origin Particles or Clearance Tokens; it only required expending Destiny Grids and Mana.

Destiny Grids were not a problem, and Mana was no longer a problem now. What they lacked was a highly skilled Spellcaster.

If everyone in the Blazing Legion could complete a round of Profession Card enhancement, then basically everyone could upgrade to Dark Moon Knights, and the original Dark Moon Knights would have a very high chance of upgrading to Dawn Knights.

This was very tyrannical.

So it was no wonder that Tyrant William would suspect Li Wei of being Karl's illegitimate son; Karl had transferred all his trump cards to him.

He just didn't know if Tyrant William had figured it out by now.

But Li Wei didn't care. Anyway, he had no ambitions, and anyway, he wouldn't proactively betray. He could swear his loyalty upon Luo Mountain!

In the blink of an eye, another year passed. Hathaway woke up smoothly. It was also during this stage that Adai successfully advanced and became a 6-Star Hunting Pet.

Yes, a 6-Star Hunting Pet, not Level 6!

This point was very important.

A 6-Star Hunting Pet was almost equivalent to a 6-Star Professional, while Level 6 was only equivalent to a 5-Star Professional.

After Hathaway woke up, she immediately set about enhancing and upgrading Rare Profession Cards for the soldiers of the Blazing Legion, because the mana in the two Mage Towers in Liwei Fort was already overflowing.

She had to consume a portion of it as quickly as possible.

After Adai advanced successfully, it didn't turn into a great beauty. It still looked the same as before, lazy, habitually landing on Li Wei's shoulder every day, and ignoring everyone else.

Even Second Aunt and Li Yue couldn't get it to respond.

It even had a baffling hostility toward Hathaway. Not the kind of competitive hostility, but because Hathaway had once killed the Snow Mountain Witch Hathaway. Fortunately, hostility was just hostility; Adai didn't take any further aggressive action.

In addition, there was another piece of good news: Li Wei could finally cast Sequence 3 Ice Magic.

Paired with the Frost Ranger Bow, he could now shoot twenty-four Frost Bolts at once. The intensity of each Frost Bolt could support a range of two hundred meters. Beyond two hundred meters, the Frost Bolts would still shatter on their own due to insufficient intensity.

As for Adai itself, it seemed to have proficiently mastered Sequence 5 Ice Magic, so the Great Frost had no effect on it whatsoever. It would go out every few days and never return empty-handed.

Sometimes it would bring back a 4-Star magic beast, sometimes a 5-Star magic beast! As happy as a god.

Li Wei even felt that everything was too surreal.

But the truth was indeed so. The Comprehensive Strength of his territory was rapidly increasing at a snowballing speed, and it wasn't changing according to his own will.

Especially when Second Aunt also forged a Tier-3 Alchemy Card and officially became a branch of the 3rd-Tier Spellcaster—an Alchemist. He became completely numb.

A few months later, when Hathaway finally completed the Rare Card enhancements for all soldiers of the Blazing Legion, a portion of the Ice Legion, and all soldiers of the Ranger Legion, and when the Loyalty of all commoners further increased to 65 points, Li Wei gained back two of the three points of Collective Sanity he had lost previously, bringing it to 18 points.

Hearing Li Wei sigh with emotion, Hathaway smiled faintly.

"Actually, this is the norm; it's normal."

"Before this, the core of our territory was you. Any development had to rely on you. If we hadn't come to this Dimension-Ascending Continent, it would actually still have to rely on you. But now that you've laid a solid foundation, with ample time and an ample mana supply, comprehensive development is normal."

"You need to change your way of thinking. Because now is the time for your harvest. Isn't it good to fully enjoy the joy of harvesting?"

"Of course, I understand your constant mindset of being prepared for danger in times of peace. You always have a feeling of insecurity. Actually, it's unnecessary. Since we have such exponential improvement, others are the same."

"Additionally, I need your help with something. I need to ease my relationship with Adai. It looks at me with very unfriendly eyes."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you. It has already promised me."

Li Wei was still very certain of this, because he really had communicated with Adai about this matter. Although the current Adai felt weird, communication was quite smooth. It was no different from chatting with a normal person, and it even had its own little moods.

But since Adai had made a promise, it absolutely would not violate its promise.

"I know. That's not what I mean. I want to ask Adai to guide me with some insights on Sequence 5 Ice Magic."

"Wait, didn't Jiang Xinran leave you so many Magic Notes?"

"That's different. Moreover, the path of advancement for a Spellcaster is paved with knowledge, and it's not just knowledge, but also practical application of magic. Adai is an Ice Magic master in this regard. I want to upgrade my Codename. You know, my real name isn't actually Hathaway, although of course I am Hathaway now. Encountering a Great Frost that will last for ten years is an excellent opportunity for me."

Hathaway spoke very seriously.

Li Wei, however, wasn't sure if Adai would be willing to help.

"I'll try then. It's been too smart lately; I'm even a little intimidated by it."

Hathaway now showed a weird expression. After thinking for a bit, she finally said, "Actually, I didn't want to explain this to you, Li Wei. But perhaps you've been too idle lately and are always letting your imagination run wild. So, I have to make it clear to you."

"That is—it will agree, Li Wei. This is its destiny. There is no true hatred between it and me either. Its original destiny was a blank slate. It was you, and it was many of us together, who created its memories and created its past."

"Do you understand what I mean? Your Rookie Mission was a script. Missy, her sister, and her mother were all captured Magic Zombies. Originally, they had no past, no memories, just a blank slate. Let alone any blood relations. It was you, it was our storyline that constructed all of this."

"Its hostility toward me is caused by the memories of this storyline, but it can never become the real Missy, because there is no real Missy."

"Or rather, you don't need to be afraid of it either. Even if it is Missy, the meaning of its existence is anchored to you. This should be a type of ancient Nature Magic. No need for chanting, no need to construct Magic Runes. Between you and it, you naturally match the resonance of this Nature Magic. Without you, there is no Missy. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Not really."

"It's right that you don't understand. Anyway, call Adai out; we'll talk ourselves."

Hathaway rolled her eyes at Li Wei, too lazy to explain further.

And when Li Wei summoned Adai from the 6-Star Pet Card, he immediately felt Adai's hostility toward Hathaway intensify slightly.

However, when Hathaway hugged it and stroked its feathers, it indeed did not resist.

"Go, Li Wei. Adai will be with me for a while now. Based on the current situation, I advise you not to take the Guard Legion out to mess around anymore. You are already too dazzling. Even if you don't know how to hide your brilliance, you shouldn't make yourself even more dazzling."

"Take advantage of this time to properly grind your Destiny Grids. Leave the rest to us. With Adai and me joining forces, even if that Frost Duke comes personally, we can handle it!"

"By the way, Sister Yue and I are both pregnant. You need enough Heirs to inherit your territory, assuming you don't want to see—if one day we don't return—the territory suffering the same fate as Ah Qing's Territory."

"And, I forgot to tell you a secret: having Heirs helps increase your Collective Sanity."
