After Princess Wei left, the king shook his head helplessly.
“This girl just can’t stay idle. She’s even closer to that student called Lei Luo than she is to us.” The queen complained.
“Let her be. As long as she doesn’t leave the capital again.”
The king shook his head and smiled.
“In my opinion, we have to find her a husband. Ling already has a few children,” the queen said.
“Mother, my sister is obsessed with magic, which is why she has such a high cultivation level. If we really force her to marry someone, I’m afraid it will have the opposite effect. It’s better not to interfere and let her develop naturally. Anyway, she’s a woman of the royal family, so there’s no need to worry about not being able to marry,” Prince Ling quickly said.
“The prince is right. Let her be.” The king nodded in agreement.
Only in her twenties, Princess Wei was already a fifth-level elemental mage. Such an achievement was rare even in the entire history of the Faroe Kingdom. She was definitely a stunning genius. In the future, in the developed kingdom, it would not necessarily be impossible for a female ultimate mage to be born.
It was precisely because of this that the king allowed Princess Wei to roam around.
The path in the future would ultimately be left for her to walk alone.
“Alright, I can’t win against you guys anyway.”
The queen was helpless. She could no longer control that wild girl.
…
Princess Wei went to the library and saw Ailo sweeping the floor.
“Ailo, Ailo!”
“Mommy!”
Ailo trembled when he heard the voice. A happy expression appeared on his face. He put down the broom in his hand and threw himself into Princess Wei’s arms.
“Ailo, how have you been recently?”
Princess Wei had a beautiful smile on her face as she gently stroked Ailo’s head.
“Mom, I’m doing very well,” Ailo said as he leaned on the princess.
“Where’s Senior Lei Luo?” Princess Wei asked.
“Senior may be practicing magic in the inner room,” Ailo said blankly.
“Ailo, let me ask you, has Senior gone out during this period of time?” Princess Wei suddenly asked.
“Mom, Senior hasn’t gone out. He has been staying in the library,” Ailo quickly said.
“Really? You didn’t lie to me? If I find out that you lied to me, you will be punished!”
Princess Wei pretended to be angry.
Ailo was a little guilty, but she still said carefully, “Mom, Ailo doesn’t dare to lie. He really hasn’t gone out. If I lie, ask him to take back the magic power in my body and turn me into a piece of paper again.”
He had been given wisdom by Lei Luo, so he wouldn’t betray him.
“Oh, I understand.”
Princess Wei knew what Ailo was thinking, so he would not lie to her. It seemed that senior Lei Luo really had not gone out.
Although it was possible that Ailo did not know that Lei Luo had left, the problem was that the distance between the two places was more than a thousand kilometers. A round trip would take at least six to seven days, and with the delay, perhaps ten days had pa.s.sed.
It was impossible for Ailo not to know that he had not been in the library for such a long time.
“Could it be that the mysterious mage is really not Senior?”
A hint of disappointment appeared in Wei’s heart. Although she liked Lei Luo very much and even firmly believed that the Senior was the mysterious mage if he really was, why didn’t he tell her?
Perhaps it really wasn’t him…
However, on second thought, she couldn’t see through Senior Lei Luo’s strength even though she was now a fifth-level elemental mage. It was enough to prove that Lei Luo was not an ordinary student sweeping the floor. Such a Senior was already outstanding enough.
Thinking of this, a hint of sweetness rose in Wei’s heart. She stepped lightly into the library.
…
It had now been more than a month since the destruction of the temple.
The kingdom had already made strict arrangements and carried out a large-scale purge of the immortals.
From time to time, the immortals would be exposed and then wiped out. However, there were also some who hid even deeper, or escaped from the Faroe Kingdom and entered other unknown places to hide.
The temple gate had long been completely sealed off by the Faroe Kingdom.
They had even sent an army of a thousand mages to guard it.
After all, this was the place where the immortal clan rose up. Even if the temple had been destroyed, there were still quite a number of them wandering outside. Perhaps some of them would return, and that way, they would be able to capture quite a number of them.
A group of twelve people appeared outside the temple ruins.
There were men and women among them, and each of them had an aura as deep as the sea. With one look, one could tell that they were not ordinary mages.
“This is the place. The temple, a branch of our Golden Cloud Temple Midway. This is the reason why Black robe fled to middle-earth.”
“Unfortunately, we were too late. Black robe is already dead, and the temple has been destroyed by the Faroe Kingdom. We don’t know where the No. 1 Golden Cloud Token and the immortal clan’s blood descendant are either.”
“If Black robe hadn’t set up the trap, we wouldn’t have wasted years of time and finally locked onto his whereabouts.”
“This Black robe deserves to die. He stole the No. 1 golden cloud token and even hid the blood descendants of the immortal clan. He betrayed the Golden Cloud Holy Temple. If he was still alive, he would have been punished by the Holy Fire Soul Refinement!”
“If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been on the road for so many years unable to return to the Golden Cloud Temple, the land of eternal frozen, or the Sea of death. Half of us died.”
“Let’s go in and take a look. Maybe we will leave some clues.”
These people whispered to each other and then walked into the temple without hiding anything.
Not long after, the intense sounds of fighting rang out.
In less than fifteen minutes, the temple became quiet again. Corpses were strewn all over the place, and the mage army garrisoned by the imperial court had all been killed.
Even the high-level elemental mages guarding the place had not escaped this ma.s.sacre.
This was because the twelve people in this group were all pseudo-ultimate mages.
The twelve people searched around, but they did not find anything. However, this was to be expected. The Faroe Kingdom had already searched every corner.
Then, they interrogated the surviving mages who had intentionally stayed behind. Using special methods, they finally acquired some valuable information.
“Gray-robed mages? Invincible pseudo-ultimate mages?”
“It seems that those two things might have landed on this person’s injuries.”
“We must find him at all costs.”
“We can’t make a big fuss. It’s best to investigate in secret, lest this person doesn’t dare to show his face.”
After a group of people discussed it, they made a decision.
The shocking news spread to the capital. The mage army stationed in the temple had been ma.s.sacred overnight. Not a single person had survived.
After the king received the news, he must be furious and order the entire country to investigate this matter.
The good situation of eliminating the immortals was suddenly overshadowed by this matter.
The Faroe Kingdom subconsciously blamed this on the immortals.
