This was Olivia's reply to Ilanan, and also the earnest expectations of a teacher for their student.
Afterwards, Elanna began following Olivia, embarking on her own trial journey.
When she ca to her senses, she had already traveled with Olivia through various dungeons, all with a single purpose — to et Kael at the end.
However, now Elanna seems to be a bit impatient.
...
[Location: Golden City · High platform in the district where the Mage Gala is held]
Olivia drank one mug of ale after another, lost in her thoughts about sothing.
The sound of nearly inaudible footsteps approached, Olivia's body responded faster than her mind, her fingers had already moved to the sword at her waist, before the sound.
But soon, she let go again, shaking her head, she said, "Oh, it's just Luxius!"
"Lady Olivia..."
In the darkness, a silhouette wrapped in shadows slowly stepped out.
It was indeed Kael's teacher, Luxius.
"Why, instead of accompanying my dear brother through important stages in life, did you co to the rooftop to chat with ?"
Olivia licked her lips, gently brushed away the silver hair scattered on her shoulders with the back of her hand, revealing a provocative smile.
Luxius was indifferent to this intensely competitive smile, he just shook his head and said:
"Sotis, I'm not quite sure of your intentions... What are you doing?
Or rather, what are the high-ranking officials of the Federation contemplating? Why let the child Elanna undertake the Dragon Blood Ceremony? We obviously have plenty of other options."
"There's no ti, Luxius, we really don't have much ti left... Consider this preparation in advance, letting Elanna beco one of the fallback options is a decent choice.
At least, it can help my dear brother patch up his greatest flaw, you know, with the way things are developing, I feel that child will face the sa predicant I did back then."
Luxius's expression darkened: "Kael is already a Magic Monarch, it's different from when you were young, yet he'll still be targeted?"
Olivia shook the wine bottle, drank another sip, smiling she said:
"Targeted indeed, why not, Luxius, I know what you want to say, yes, when I was targeted back then, I had just ascended to being a Legendary, and logically, there should be a significant gap between a Legend and a Magic Monarch."
"Then why..."
"Just because I'm Olivia, no other reason, even if I had just beco a Legendary at that ti, so what?"
A faint golden light emitted from her eyes, she snorted lightly and said: "In the circle of mages, there are also such freaks as Magic Monarchs, why would you think there couldn't be a monster like among the spell swordsn?
As for my strength among peers, I have a bit of confidence there."
Luxius fell silent.
"So do you understand? Why the Governor has never left the Royal Court all these years, it's not because the Royal Court is so wonderful, but because from the beginning, the Royal Court was established at the center of the Nine Duchies.
Once war breaks out, the Governor positioned at the center of the Royal Court can strike most regions of the Nine Duchies at the critical mont.
But if the Governor leaves, heading to any Duchy, it's equivalent to giving up certain territories that can't be struck, then if among the Nine Churches of Holy Briania, soone sends the Divine Favored, entering the state of Divine Descent...
He can't hold them, even if you go, it can't be held, even if you move your Mage Tower to the location, you can't win against a combination of Divine Favored and Divine Descent.
Of course, if you have the chance to strike first, destroying the bodies of the Divine Favored before they undergo Divine Descent, perhaps there's a slight chance, but I imagine, without the completion of the Floating City Project, you Magic Monarchs lack such mobility."
Olivia spoke coldly about the facts.
Luxius instantly understood her aning.
Not to ntion a Divine Favored undergoing Divine Descent, even a normal Divine Favored being descended upon by a deity, entering the Saint state, Governor Caesar can still decapitate them.
Apart from that Pope phiel, there are almost no Divine Favored with a real chance to threaten him.
But the problem is, he doesn't care about those Divine Favored, it doesn't an others don't care.
Holy Briania holds Nine Churches, even the strongest nine Orthodox Churches, theoretically each Church can produce 1-3 Divine Favored, and up to 10 Chosen, adding on the various professional classes within the Churches possessing Demigods and Legendary Strongn in numbers...
To put it harshly, if a single Church received the support of a deity, any of the Nine Churches would have the capability to eliminate the level of current frontline forces on the Continent such as in the supre forest.
Even with paper strength, Luxius along with the Federation's Magic Monarchs and other Demigod Mages put together, there is no possible way to contend with any Church.
The main frontline against the enemy, the top professionals, are not the mages of the Federation, but the Demigod ranks of divine swordsn born in the Yibel Federation since its establishnt...
Including all Demigod rank spellswords, alongside the Nine Dukes of the Duchy.
