Chapter Thirty-Four: One Hundred Million Scrolls

  This time, the absolute duel shocked everyone, and its impact was no less than a war. Because of a single scroll, a magician was left helpless, which was hard to imagine. As the ruling class, magicians had always presented themselves with a strong image in front of people. The prosperity of countries on the continent had always been linked to the number and level of magicians. The two most powerful military groups on the continent, the Papal State and the Elf Kingdom, were both intimidating other nations with their large numbers of magician troops. Once these magician troops lost their power under the threat of this scroll, it could be said that it would have a huge impact on the situation on the continent.

  His Majesty the King summoned me urgently, in a secret room behind the Great Arena, accompanied only by the great wizard Carah. The servants and guards were all driven out. I saw that the two of them looked extremely serious, with the great wizard Carah showing some depression, while the king was barely concealing his joy. After all, if he could really get something from me, he would undoubtedly have an astonishing gain!

  "Alright! My dear little fellow, now that we are alone, tell me, what scroll have you been using?" the king asked eagerly.

  "Ah! Secret, Your Majesty!" I didn't want to make it easy for him, and I hadn't thought of a good excuse yet, so I had to stall for time.

  "Oh! Don't be like this! I am the king, you should give me some face!"

  "Alright, what do you want to know?"

  "Everything about that scroll of yours!"

  "Really? But I don't know much either?"

  "Oh! How did he come?"

  "It's Grandma's fault!" The poor Taoist finally decided to let the old lady take the blame, after all, there aren't many people who dare to argue with her!

  "Oh! So that's how it is!" The king apparently didn't question the qualifications of the fairy queen, and instead turned his pleading gaze towards the great wizard Carla!

  "Did she tell you the name of this spell then?" asked the great sorceress Kara.

  "There's no need to deceive him on this matter"

  "Oh! Heaven! Are you certain?" The Great Mage Cara asked hastily

  "Of course!" The poor Taoist replied affirmatively.

  "Do you know this spell?" the king asked Raka

  "It's known that it only appeared once in the history of the continent, but the shockwaves it brought have been passed down to this day!" The great demon master Kara said with emotion.

  "What's going on?" the king asked curiously.

  "The accomplishment of this spell is the downfall of a great empire that once ruled the continent! It was the glorious dynasty 3,000 years ago!" said the Great Magician Kara.

  "Does this spell have such great power that it can destroy an empire?" The king was very skeptical about this.

  "It's just that the Empire's 10,000-man Magical Corps and special forces composed of 10,000 Golden Warriors were annihilated. Their leaders were two Law Gods, 12 Great Mages, a Sword God, and six Sword Saints. The loss of such an army would be enough to deal a devastating blow to the Empire, wouldn't it?" said Great Mage Carla

  "Impossible! What empire has such power? With such power, how can they be completely defeated?"

  "At that time, the brilliant dynasty controlled the entire continent and could naturally gather such a magnificent army. As for their destruction, it was because their opponent was too strong!"

  "Have they gone against the gods?"

  "No, the opponent is Elemental Spirit Empress!" said Great Mage Carla

  "Elemental Spirit Empress? What did they do to offend her?"

  "After conquering the entire continent, their gaze turned to the Elf Forest, where the products were rich and abundant, especially the beauty of the Elf tribe and the unparalleled power of the Elemental Spirits. To know that the wizards who signed a contract with the Elemental Spirits could obtain a large amount of magic power out of thin air, equivalent to decades of hard work and accumulation, which was too tempting for the wizards.

  However, the Elemental Spirits were not easy to mess with, and no one had ever been able to succeed by using violent means. Until the Crown Prince of the Radiant Dynasty, he boldly kidnapped a high-ranking elder of the Elf tribe, and used dark magic to forcibly take away the Elemental Spirit that was contracted to the elder. The consequence was that the elder died, the Elemental Spirit lost its consciousness, and became a puppet-like existence.

  This behavior enraged the Elf Queen at the time, who transformed into a human woman and personally went to the capital of the Radiant Empire to negotiate. She was ambushed by the troops lying in wait. According to later historical records, there were also 2 million troops on guard around the perimeter. The Crown Prince thought he had already won, and even dared to use language to tease the Queen.

  The enraged Queen showed her ferocious side to the world, and only a small part of the scene at that time was passed down. This magic spell appeared at that time, and it was the only time its power was displayed."

  "What is the effect of this spell?" the king asked

  "This is a super forbidden spell, at least level 14. The records from that time say this magic formed a huge golden domain, covering all the strongest armed forces on the continent, about 20,000 people. Anyone within the domain was unable to use any magic or martial energy. Even the gods of law and the sword saints were no exception, they could only be slaughtered at will. A magician who lost their magic is not even as good as an ordinary person, a warrior who lost their martial energy is slightly stronger than an ordinary person, how can they resist against such a powerful existence like the fairy queen? They were quickly eliminated by the queen's magic, only a very small number of people survived and left behind these records!"

  "Is that all?" asked the king: "Can't even the glorious dynasty withstand a blow?"

  "The Queen also instantaneously cast four 12th-level forbidden spells, namely the earth-type 'Earth Splitting Heaven Shattering', fire-type 'Doomsday Judgment', wind-type 'Dragon Tornado Assault' and water-type 'Flood of Ten Thousand Miles', annihilating the surrounding 200W troops. After casually visiting the imperial palace, she left, but all members of the royal family and the imperial palace itself were reduced to ashes by her wrath." - Great Mage Carla

  "Can she cast four 12th-level forbidden spells at once? Or are they of different systems? Even the God of Law can't do that!" The king asked.

  "The Law God can only instantaneously cast 9th-level spells, and the highest ability is to cast 12th or 13th-level forbidden spells! As for a great demon master like me, I can at most instantaneously cast 7th-level spells, and my highest ability is to cast 11th-level spells, which only applies to the wind system that I am proficient in. Other systems are even worse. Alas, people compare with people until they die, and goods compare with goods until they are discarded!" The great demon master Karla said dejectedly.

  "It seems like the Dragon Clan doesn't have this ability either?"

  "No, the Dragon Emperor can too, and is even more powerful than the Elf Queen!" The great demon commander Kalak declared.

  "Dragon Emperor? Isn't the Dragon Clan only ruled by the Dragon King?" the king asked

  "In the past, several tens of thousands of years ago, it went missing. Now, only the Dragon King can lead the dragon clan!"

  "Oh! So that's how it is! I've gained more knowledge again. Xiao Wu, do you still have your scroll?"

  "Just one more!" The poor monk was in the middle of his addiction, but he was interrupted by him changing the subject, and was unhappy!

  "Will you sell it to me?" The king asked cautiously

  "Your Majesty, as long as you buy at market price, I can sell it to you!" The poor Taoist said with a smile.

  "Of course, I absolutely cannot take advantage of you for your child!" The king said happily: "Name a price!"

  "Alright, let's put it this way. Currently, a 7th-level spell scroll is worth around 1 million, an 8th-level one is around 3 million, and a 9th-level one is around 10 million, right?"

  "Not bad!"

  "That's good, you see from level 7 to level 9 the difference is tenfold, then from level 9 to level 11 should also be tenfold, and from level 11 to level 13 it's another tenfold. As for the price difference between level 13 and level 14, I don't want it. Ten times 100W is 1,000W, and ten times 1,000W is 10 million. So, I'll give you a discount of 10 million gold coins, Your Majesty!" The poor Daoist smiled and quoted the price.

  "Oh! Heaven, my annual taxes aren't even this much, you really dare to ask for it! Who has ever seen a scroll worth 100 million gold coins?" The king smiled wryly: "I can't afford it, you'd better keep it yourself!"

  "This is clearly extortion!" The great demon master Kala said discontentedly.
