Chapter 402: Chapter 241: Someone Recites Its Holy Name_2
Jack returned home to find his wife looking twenty to thirty years younger. His wife also stared at her husband, now with a thick head of hair and a charming demeanor, and passion instantly ignited between them.
The next day, they paid, tears in their eyes.
…
Negris, seeing more and more magic carriages parked in the Goddess of Beauty City, curiously asked, “Why are there more and more wizards?”
Lisa explained, “We’ve opened up the market in the Republic of Stellaris, where there are the most wizards.”
“Oh? A country founded by wizards?” Negris asked, knowing very little about this Republic of Stellaris. When it was taken away, that country did not even exist.
During this period, more and more mages from the Republic of Stellaris arrived, most of them female mages and relatives of mages. You know, when women beautify themselves, they gossip a lot, talking about everything from family matters to weddings and funerals.
Now, Lisa was well versed in the Republic of Stellaris. She said, “Yes, it was about seven hundred years ago. A wizard established a place called the Stellaris Mage Tower on a peninsula at the other end of the desert. They rely mainly on ships for communicating with the outside world. The highest governing body is the Council, consisting of representatives elected or personally appointed by the masters of each Mage Tower.”
“At present, the Council has seven representatives who are all Truth Mages. …”
At this point, Negris gasped, “Seven Truth Mages?”
Among the tens of millions of elves, there were only three Truth Mages. The Republic of Stellaris, with less than 500,000 people, had seven. Were they wholesaling them?
Lisa nodded: “Seven, no more, no less. However, according to them, now there are only three councilors: Emperor Blue Star, Dead Star Auburnli, and Giant Star Thunder.”
“I know Emperor Tyrone, he is the one who presided over the dimensional security meeting, and my grandnephew has fought against him. He is very powerful. But these titles like Death Star and Giant Star, they are strange. Is there anyone really named Death Star?” Negris was surprised.
Lisa looked strange and said, “Because Auburnli is a witch.”
“What, a witch? A representative of the Republic of Stellaris is a witch? How is that possible? Can the Church of Light tolerate it?” Negris was shocked.
Lisa couldn’t answer this question, so Negris quickly looked for Ange and brought Anthony into the conversation.
“Of course they can’t stand it, but they can’t beat it, so they have to endure it.” Anthony said casually.
How could the Church of Light tolerate a government with heretics in the high ranks? From the establishment of the Republic of Stellaris, the church has launched countless expeditions, subversion, assassination plans against it, just none of them were successful.
The location of the Republic of Stellaris was too remote, requiring a desert crossing of several thousand kilometers or going by sea.
But the Republic of Stellaris is made up of wizards, good at long-range attacks, forbidden city-slaughter spells, Close quarter fighting. Whether it’s a land or sea invasion, the invaders are doomed to fail.
The larger the expedition, the faster they die. As soon as the grain supply line is cut off, everyone starves or dies of thirst.
The only effective method was to blockade it, no supplies allowed into the Republic of Stellaris.
This pissed off the mages of the Republic of Stellaris. Nine Truth Mages used a group teleportation technique, making long-distance war raids and burning down more than a dozen churches, which eventually forced the church to sit down for negotiations.
Since then, no one has dared to mess with the Republic of Stellaris, because of its open attitude towards non-human beings, as long as there are no egregious actions, they are welcome in the Republic of Stellaris. In the Stellaris Code, the first rule was: Stellaris should always shine brightly …
“Wait a minute, didn’t you say there were seven? How did it become nine? How many Truth Mages are there?” Negris asked.
Anthony glanced at it and slowly said, “People, they die.”
Throughout the seven hundred years of its history, the number of Truth Mages in the Republic of Stellaris has fluctuated, with the maximum being nine and the minimum as low as one or two. Most of them are Life Species, and when their life span is up, they die.
“The only one who has endured throughout history is Dead Star Auburnli. She is a witch. From the day the Republic of Stellaris was established, she has been a representative, supporting the entire republic during its darkest hours. She has single-handedly rebuilt many schools of magic whose lines of succession had been cut off. If anything, this Auburnli is the mother of Stellaris.”
Negris was stunned, this legend was too epic, right?
Just as he was about to ask something else, suddenly, the entire Goddess of Beauty City resounded with an eye-catching alarm.
The alarm wasn’t triggered by the city itself but by a Stellaris Mage. As the alarm sounded, everyone in the Goddess of Beauty City, regardless if they were bathing, washing feet, sand bathing, beautifying, or regrowing hair, as long as they were family members of the Stellaris Mage, they were all in a frenzy, running for their life.
“Hey, hey, hey, you haven’t paid yet!” Lisa yelled horrified.
“Put it on Hildi and Jack’s tab!” The escaping mages shouted without looking back, “Run fast, the old witch is coming!”
The Stellaris Mages who rushed onto the street showed their powers, some crushed rings, some ripped open scrolls, and some, in groups of three or two, activated the teleportation array together, fleeing in a flash. In just a few minutes, the streets were completely clear.
The speed astonished Negris. This must be special training, right? With such a fast redeployment speed, if these mages were trained as a raiding force, they could easily take a city. The speed of closing a large city’s gates might not even be as fast as their relocation speed.
