Chapter 134 The Patriarch William's Entrustment

The Patriarch William indeed had a very important matter that he wanted to speak to William Saul alone.

He had actually thought of this way before the meeting. However, after thinking about the possible implications of this matter, he decided to speak to William Saul alone.

“Patriarch, when are you going to talk to your younger brother?”

William Saul was sitting on the side of the Patriarch.

In private, he would always address himself as the younger brother.

After all, he and the Patriarch William were indeed blood brothers born from the same mother.

“Saul, the new Eastern Emperor was born, Gandalf fell, and all the seals he set up back then had been removed. This is our chance to head to the East. However, don't forget, this is our chance, and it's also someone else's chance…”

The Patriarch of William did not waste time on small talk and directly pointed out his own worries.

Saul was also a smart person and quickly understood the true meaning of the Patriarch.

“Brother, are you referring to… the Central Plain and the southernmost region?”

“To be more specific, the southernmost region.”

William frowned and said, “After all, you and I both know that the Central Plain has been trading with us all these years. The seals leading to the Central Plain have been loosened since many years ago, so we can clearly understand the situation in the Central Plain.”

“And according to my observation, the Central Plain has many countries coexisting and competing with each other. In these years, the strength of its magi has been very low, and no expert has appeared.”

“In fact, I see that the strongest person in the Molmo Empire, which is closest to us, is actually not a mage, but a great swordsman, and only has the strength of a Great Sage. And this is already considered the strongest combat strength of the Central Plain.”

“That's why I'm not worried about the Central Plain at all.”

The Patriarch William slowly a.n.a.lyzed the situation, and Saul nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

In the past few years, the Central Plain had coexisted with many countries. Countless small empires had appeared and attacked each other. The people in the entire Central Plain did not seem to be in the mood to cultivate in seclusion, therefore no experts had appeared.

Therefore, not to mention High Magus, even those at the Sage and Great Sage levels were only a few.

That's right.

There was one point that needed to be noted:

The advancement of a mage was: Magus Apprentice, Magus, Sage, Great Sage, and High Magus.

While the advancement of a swordsman was: Beginner Swordsman, Swordsmaster, Sage, Great Sage, and Swordsman!

Between the two, in the path of Sage and Great sage, both were having the same names.

This was because, originally, the highest realm of a mage was only up to the level of Magus. There was no such realm as Sage.

Subsequently, after Gandalf appeared, he relied on his genius to cultivate to the Sage level,

This had given the mages in the entire magic world a path: Mages could also cultivate to the Sage level!

At that time, because Gandalf did not think of any new names and had always considered himself a Sage, those who came later did not dare to name themselves, so they continued to call him the same.

This had resulted to the fact that swordsmen and mages now had the same names for the two levels.

As for the level after the Great Sage, why did they have their own names?

This was because, after Gandalf had advanced to the level of a High Magus, he suddenly realized that with his current strength, if he were to call himself a swordsman with the way swordsmen cultivated, it would be a little out of place.

Thus, he gave the mages a brand new name: High Magus!

Those who came later also considered themselves to be so.

As for the rank after the High Magus…

Currently, no one in the entire mainland had reached it.

Perhaps after that person appeared, he would give it a new name…

Coming back to Patriarch William…

When Patriarch William saw Saul nod, he continued.

“So, it's very likely that we're facing a potential opponent now, which is the South.”

The South.

This was an unfamiliar yet familiar name.

Patriarch William couldn't help but recall that the last time he and the South disbanded was 500 years ago.

At that time, Gandalf suddenly went crazy and sent out the 10 Shadow Guards to attack the North, Central Plain, and the South at the same time.

As a result, the three people from the uttermost regions had to form an alliance to defend against the attack.

In the end, the three regions were defeated.

However, it was also this battle that had allowed Patriarch William an opportunity to learn about the South for the first time.

This was a slightly backward Southern barbarian tribe that lived in the tropics.

They also cultivated the path of mage.

They also increased their cultivation according to the five levels of the Central Plain: Magus Apprentice, Magus, Sage, Great sage, and High Magus.

However, the very strange thing was that the Mystic Abilities they were cultivating were completely different from theirs.

Simply put, the North was cultivating the Ice Mageforce.

But this group of people from the South was cultivating… Fire Mageforce!

Take the most cla.s.sic move of theirs, the Black Fire Ultimate Kill, as an example.

They were actually able to mobilize their mageforce and resonate with the mageforce in the air.

Then, they summoned a ball of black flame out of thin air and attacked the enemy!

This kind of attack without any warning was indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Patriarch William had a deep impression.

This group of southerners had well-developed limbs and a simple mind.

When they used this spell in the battle back then, they would often miss the target and injured their allies by mistakes.

They, the people of the North, were often hit.

On the battlefield, many warriors of the northernmost would often find themselves in the midst of battle, and to their surprise:

A ball of fire had lit up on their backs.

And this fire had been set by the allies behind them, the Southerners.

Thinking of this, Patriarch William felt a headache.

These southerners had great strength, but they were simple-minded.

This meant that he might not be able to defeat them if he became their enemy.

But if he became their ally, he might even be injured.

This was truly a headache.

And now, there was another reason why Patriarch William suddenly mentioned this matter

“Saul, I don't know if you've noticed it recently. Ever since Gandalf's seal was lifted, over at the South…”

“The aura of a large number of experts has appeared.”

“This sign means that in the past 500 years, many experts have appeared in the South…”

Patriarch William said with worry.

And this was the true reason why he had made William Saul stay back alone today.

He wanted to tell Saul:

“I have a premonition that you will very likely meet those southern barbarians on this East journey.”

“In fact, I have a feeling that they will definitely send their experts there.”

“So, Saul, what I want to tell you is that if you really meet those people from the South…”

“You must remember that if they have no ill intentions, do not start a direct conflict with them.”

“Now that the East has changed and the Central Plain is weak, it is a good time for us to chase after the Central Plain.”

“As for the South, it is beyond our reach. We are wary of their conquests, and they do not have the desire to conquer us. Therefore, the people of the two places do not have too many conflicts of interest.”

“If possible, after meeting their leaders.h.i.+p, we can have a good talk.”

“If we can reach an alliance, it will also be a good thing.”

Patriarch William slowly told him the plan in his heart.

When Saul heard it, he looked thoughtful and nodded his head seriously.

The conversation between the two was almost over.

Looking at Saul who was about to leave, Patriarch William paused and said the last sentence to him.

“Remember, Saul, if we want to make our North bloom in glory in the magic mainland, we can't do it without these words:

“a.s.sociate with the distant countries and attack those nearby!”
