A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 276 On the Eve of the Coronation Ceremony

The imperial capital, Caesars, is nothing special. If anything, it's that it's very large and has a very down-to-earth, everyday feel.

Mervaux had absolutely no hint of smokiness, and Guedes was even less so; that place was purely sinister.

Caesars City is different; it's a giant city covering tens of thousands of square kilometers.

The imperial palace, consisting of the inner and outer city walls.

The city of Caesars is made up of individual districts.

"Please feel free to browse around. Take whatever you like; the Empire will cover the cost."

"That's what Zibel said politely."

However, despite saying that, Jiang Shuzhou could sense that there were countless eyes and ears all around him, watching him and his companions.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care. His purpose this time was just to come and take a look. Once the new emperor ascended the throne, he could just throw the contract away.

Jiang Shuzhou was also very annoyed by the attitude of the Ovi Empire.

However, the thought of the enthronement ceremony in two days, which might be quite a show, filled Jiang Shuzhou with anticipation.

However, we will need to wait during this period.

During this time, Jiang Shuzhou focused his energy back on his main body in the tower. He temporarily found a laboratory, not to conduct experiments, but to prepare to teach Denoz.

"Owner."

Denoz greeted her timidly; having learned her lesson, she understood her place.

"Good, it seems you've learned your lesson."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in agreement.

He then continued.

"I happen to be free these next couple of days, so I'll teach you."

Now that they've reached the tower, where security and other aspects have improved significantly, Jiang Shuzhou is ready to give Denuozhi some tough work.

"Come on, unleash a spell, and let me see your limits!"

Jiang Shuzhou gave the order without hesitation.

Denoz was silent for a moment, then began to unleash spells that slammed into the target.

And so, a whole day passed, and it was already dark when Denozzi knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

Throughout the day, she frantically drained every last bit of magic from her body, drinking magic potions to recover afterward. After a day, she was completely exhausted.

"You're like this after seven hours?"

Jiang Shuzhou was hoping that Denuozhi would act as a turret mage, but he only lasted seven hours before stopping.

"Write down your feelings and hand them in to me later."

"Yes, Master."

Denozhi struggled to get up, ready to write down his feelings.

"You're quite resilient," Jiang Shuzhou nodded, then buried himself in his book again.

Before long, it got dark.

Denoz had finished writing down her feelings long ago; she was going to sleep.

She was curled up in a ball, asleep at Jiang Shuzhou's feet.

"?"

This action left Jiang Shuzhou completely dumbfounded.

You're not a dog, what's the point of sleeping next to me?

Each lab has a study. Jiang Shuzhou carried the Denuozhi to the bed in the study and then prepared to leave.

"Don't go, Master."

De Nuozhi stared at Jiang Shuzhou with pitiful eyes, her tone full of pleading.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't budge, so he simply closed the door and left.

Throwing Denozzi onto the bed was his last act of tenderness.

"Study hard, and I'll give you what you want."

These were Jiang Shuzhou's last words before he left.

Denoz was silent for a while, then she curled up and fell asleep.

Time flew by, and five days soon passed, and the time for the coronation ceremony arrived.

During this period, Denozchi made remarkable progress and has become a formal mage.

congratulations.

"Master Navis, shouldn't we bring some gifts?"

Morris was a little nervous.

In any case, this is witnessing the birth of a legend.

"What's there to bring? Besides, isn't the gift we brought just that agreement?"

Jiang Shuzhou didn't bother bringing any gifts; the Ovi Empire wasn't exactly polite to them.

"Don't worry about that."

Trank's tone was stiff, and it was clear that he wasn't feeling well either.

"Let's go, let's go see this future emperor."

Jiang Shuzhou tidied his appearance and prepared to head to the imperial city.

Soon, Jiang Shuzhou and his group arrived at the city gate of the imperial city.

"Stop! Show me your identification!"

The guard shouted sternly.

Jiang Shuzhou presented his identification.

"No, you weren't invited. I don't have your information here, so you can't go in."

For the first time, Jiang Shuzhou almost laughed out of anger.

No, we were invited to the ceremony, and you're saying there's no information?

Just as Jiang Shuzhou was preparing to use illusion magic to deceive the person in front of him and teach them a lesson, Rosemary arrived.

"They are my guests, you don't need to stop them."

Rosemary said.

"Your Highness, but..."

"No buts, I will vouch for them."

Rosemary said in an unquestionable tone.

"Your will."

The guard looked conflicted, but still chose to let them pass.

"What's going on? Weren't we invited?"

Jiang Shuzhou was speechless. This empire seemed like a makeshift operation, completely unreliable.

"Court infighting."

Jiang Shuzhou understood immediately from Rosemary's single sentence.

It seems the electors aren't very united.

However, these were all internal affairs of the empire, and Jiang Shuzhou was too lazy to care; he was here to watch the show.

"Then there's Princess Laurosmarill."

Jiang Shuzhou made a gesture of invitation.

"You're still the same old you, grabbing anyone and fleecing them like crazy."

Rosemary rolled her eyes.

"Same to you."

Jiang Shuzhou responded.

"Shall we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?"

Upon hearing about the deal, Jiang Shuzhou immediately woke up from his sleepiness.

"The content is very simple: it's about the coronation ceremony that's about to take place, and you can't interfere."

Jiang Shuzhou smiled slightly and finally agreed.

"I hope you can perform well."

Jiang Shuzhou had already guessed Rosemary's plan, but he didn't care, since it was a matter of domestic politics.

"I will."

After Rosemary finished speaking, she waved her hand, signaling Jiang Shuzhou and the others to follow.

"Today is the grandest day in the history of our Ovi Empire. I, Midtas, the Crown Prince of the Ovi Empire, will officially inherit the empire from my father!"

Midtas's confident and flamboyant voice rang out.

The people around them were cheering and jumping for joy; they were about to witness the birth of a new legend.

The reason why the Ovi Empire has been able to last for ten thousand years is because of the ritual that can pass on legendary power.

This ritual can lead to a significant reduction in the lifespan of the person receiving the inheritance.

Legendary warriors could normally live for thousands of years, but after undergoing the ritual, emperors could only live for a little over 100 years.

But through this ritual, the Ovi Empire ensured that every emperor would be a legend, that they could effectively control the covenants, and that they could check and balance all the electors.

Midtas's confident and flamboyant voice continued to echo.

Soon after, Rosemary came on stage, and Jiang Shuzhou was eager to know what she would do next.
