Ascension To Divine Throne - Chapter 115

Chapter 115: The Tragic Future of Julius

Is that the floating city silently resting in the eastern sea!!! William sat up from the bed, his expression grave.

To be honest, this exceeded his imagination a bit. That’s a floating city that can still function!

Owning a floating city is a temptation that legendary mages can’t resist, let alone others.

Although William had some expectations, he really didn’t expect the secret of the Cain family to be that Azela floating city.

Controlling a floating city requires at least one legendary-level mage, so when Lisa broke through to become a legend, did that floating city truly manifest itself in this world?

But then William suddenly remembered something.

After the legendary mage Azela and the Shadow Dancer repelled the invading legendary-level mages, these two legendary powerhouses didn’t immediately establish power; instead, they drove the floating city and headed towards the capital of the Fis Kingdom, Canlight City.

When the floating city was less than a hundred kilometers away from Canlight City, they were intercepted by the Fis Kingdom’s legendary warrior, “Blood Rose Princess” Brynhildr Fis, and the legendary brawler, “Broken Mountain” Aiven Den.

It’s unclear why there was a conflict between the two sides. The four legendary powerhouses fought fiercely in that mountainous area, with many players present, so there are recordings of the event circulating.

William had seen it. It was a rare melee among multiple legendary powerhouses in the early stages of the game, directly reducing the mountainous area where the battle took place to rubble.

Later, under the mediation of “Flame of Judgement” Apollo Stephens, both sides ceased fire and withdrew.

Although it’s not known how the battle ended, from some clues afterwards, it seemed that the Fis Kingdom suffered losses.

After all, after that battle, Azela floating city remained fixed near the eastern coast of the continent, which used to be the coastline of the former Bertrich Kingdom.

Of course, by that time, the main storyline “Total War” of version 2.0 had ended, and the Bertrich Kingdom had become a part of the Fis Kingdom’s history.

The Fis Kingdom did not restrict personnel from going to the Azela floating city, and the materials needed by the floating city were supplied at low prices by the Fis Kingdom.

Of course, after that battle, the relationship between Azela floating city and the Fis Kingdom was relatively harmonious, with no more tense atmosphere, which puzzled many players.

What exactly caused the two legendary powerhouses to clash like that? And what did the Fis Kingdom pay to resolve this conflict?

After all, with two legendary powerhouses and a floating city, this lineup is enough to overthrow some small countries!

The William of the past was somewhat puzzled, but now as someone involved, he seemed to vaguely guess something.

Could it be because the William of the past was assassinated by the second prince?

If that’s the case, many things could be explained!

Why did Joyce and Lisa, once they had enough power, directly oppose the Fis Kingdom?

Why did the second prince, Julius, rarely appear later, and there was no news of him afterwards?

Could it be that the price the Fis Kingdom paid later was…

Oh my, if that’s the case, Julius is in a bit of a miserable situation!

Lost his throne, and the ending doesn’t seem good.

Forget about all that. Anyway, William doesn’t have much affection for this second prince, and is even preparing to set him up.

On second thought, by setting him up, I’m also protecting him.

Otherwise, should I let Joyce negotiate with him?

Thinking like this,

‘I’m truly great! Julius should thank me! hmph’

William thought smugly, feeling most pleased with this justified deception.

As for Joyce and Lisa’s identities, as well as the secrets of the Cain family, William decided not to reveal his hand for now.

He didn’t plan to ask Joyce:

“Joyce, do we have a floating city in our family?”

But William couldn’t explain where this news came from at all. After all, the Cain family had been low-key for so long, perhaps to control this floating city.

If he really said it, compared to the possibility of Joyce truthfully confessing, the possibility of Joyce catching William and studying whether he had been invaded by other souls would be higher.

With most things sorted out, William felt relieved. There had been quite a few strange things happening to him recently, and he was feeling some pressure.

Now he could relax. As long as he was in Canlight City, he would have at least two legendary powerhouses backing him, and he was quite familiar with two future legendary powerhouses. It couldn’t be more secure.

Of course, now William’s desire to become a legendary mage was even stronger! In terms of talent, he was not weaker than Brynhildr and Lisa now, so naturally, he also had the ambition to become a legendary mage.

‘I need to plan carefully, I can’t just stay in Canlight City forever! A comfortable life is indeed pleasant, and the progress of a mage indeed requires spending a lot of time in closed-door research, but it doesn’t mean I should just blindly pursue seclusion.’

Theory cannot be applied to practice; that would be meaningless.

At the same time, there are still many buried treasures and opportunities on the continent that William doesn’t want to miss.

Take it slow, wait until the Feast of Saints is over! William got up from the bed, ignoring Angela who was still sleeping soundly, and headed towards the underground study.

I need to make every minute count!

—

Midnight, outside Canlight City.

A handsome man emerged from the darkness, quietly gazing at the brightly lit Canlight City in the night.

This man was Marion, a vampire who had traveled from the south, standing there quietly, as if sensing something?

“Weird, why is there no scent of my kind, but instead a few disgusting mongrels?”

Marion scratched his head in confusion, muttering to himself.

‘No, Lord Damon sent me to Canlight City to find a prophet named Angela. She must be a pure-blooded vampire, but why do I only sense the corrupt aura of fallen vampires?’

That dirty, lustful, and greedy disgusting aura made Marion furrow his brows.

This shouldn’t be. Lord Vlad’s prophecy wouldn’t be wrong; she must be hiding somewhere or concealed within some aura shield.

This is troublesome!

Marion, who thought the task would be easy, scratched his head again. He always did this when he was troubled.

“I guess I’ll have to search slowly. I can’t just go back like this.”

With that in mind, a peaceful smile appeared on Marion’s face.

“If I happen to encounter those fallen mongrels while searching for the prophet, I’ll have no choice but to act. Lord Damon shouldn’t blame me; after all, I’m just doing my job!”

Marion smiled and glanced at the direction of Canlight City ahead, slowly walking towards it.

In the night, Marion’s body turned into a dark shadow, flying towards Canlight City.

With the looming shadow of war, Canlight City was welcoming many guests, many indeed!
