Chapter 998 275: Love and the Fickle Divine Favored—Kael's Starry Night
This is Olivia's reply to Ilanan, also a teacher's earnest expectation for their student.
And then, Elanna began to follow Olivia, embarking on her own trial journey.
When she came to her senses again, she had already toured many dungeons with Olivia, with only one goal—to meet Kael at the end.
But now, Elanna seems to be growing impatient.
...
[Location: Golden City · The platform in the Mage party area]
Olivia continued to drink in silence, lost in her thoughts.
A barely audible sound of footsteps approached, and Olivia's body reacted faster than her mind, her fingers clasping the sword at her waist before the sound even reached her.
But soon she relaxed again and shook her head, saying, "Oh, it's just Luxius!"
"Lady Olivia..."
A figure cloaked in shadows slowly emerged from the darkness.
It was Kael's teacher, Luxius.
"Why aren't you downstairs accompanying my dear brother through life's important stages, but instead come up here to chat with me?"
Olivia licked her lips and brushed away the silver hair draped over her shoulder with the back of her hand, revealing a provocative smile.
Luxius was indifferent to such a strong-willed smile, simply shook his head and said:
"Sometimes, I'm not quite clear about your thoughts... What are you doing?
Or rather, what are the top members of the Federation thinking? Why let Elanna undergo the Dragon Blood Ceremony? We obviously have many choices."
"There's no time, Luxius, we really don't have much time left... This is also considered an advance preparation, making Elanna one of the contingency plans, is indeed a good choice.
At least it will help my dear brother patch the biggest flaw he has; you must know, with things developing like this, I think the child will face the same predicament as I did back then."
Luxius's expression turned somber: "Kael is already a Magic Monarch, unlike your time, could this still attract attention?"
Olivia shook the wine bottle, took another sip, and said with a smile:
"Of course it can, why not, Luxius, I know what you want to say, yes, when I was targeted back then, I had just ascended to legendary status; theoretically speaking, Legendary is significantly different from Magic Monarch."
"Then why..."
"Just because I'm Olivia, without any other reason, even if at that time I had just become a legend, so what?"
Her eyes emitted a faint golden glow, she hummed lightly and said: "Among mages, there are always anomaly like Magic Monarchs, why would you think that among Curse Swordsmen, there wouldn't be a monster like me?
For my strength among peers, I have some confidence."
Luxius fell silent.
"So, do you understand? Why all these years the Governor has never left the Royal Court, not because the court is beautiful, but because it was surrounded by the Nine Duchies from the beginning.
Once war breaks out, the Governor in the center of the Royal Court can strike most places in the Nine Duchies when necessary.
But if the Governor leaves, going to any Duchy would mean giving up a part of territories that cannot be targeted. By that time, if one of the Nine Churches of Holy Briania sends Divine Favored and enters the state of Divine Descent...
It can't be protected, even if you go, it can't be protected, even if you move your Mage Tower there, you can't defeat the combination of Divine Favored paired with Divine Descent.
Of course, if you have a chance for a preemptive strike and smash the bodies of Divine Favored before Divine Descent, then maybe there's a tiny chance, but I think in the current unfinished Floating City Plan, you Magic Monarchs have no such mobility."
Olivia calmly spoke the cold truth.
Luxius instantly understood her meaning.
Not to mention Divine Favored undergoing Divine Descent, even normal Divine Favored receiving Divine Descent and entering the Saint state could be vanquished by Caesar Governor.
Apart from Pope Mephiel, there are hardly any Divine Favored who pose a real threat to him.
But the problem is, although he doesn't care about those Divine Favored, it doesn't mean others don't.
Holy Briania has nine major churches, just considering the strongest nine principal churches, theoretically, each church could bring forth 1-3 Divine Favored and nearly 10 Divine Chosen, plus the number of Demigod Strongmen and Legendary Strongmen in various church professions...
To put it bluntly, a single church, if supported by a deity, any of the nine churches could wipe out today's supreme forest level continental powerhouse.
In terms of paper strength alone, even if Luxius and the Magic Monarchs of the Federation together with other Demigod Mages were grouped, it would be impossible to confront any church.
The main force to combat enemies isn't the federation mages, but the Demigod professionals who have been numerous since the establishment of the Yibel Federation...
Including all the Demigod Rank Curse Swordsmen among the Nine Dukes.
