I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 450: Chapter 353 Shy Risa_3

“Such an obvious wound, and you still claim a Mage did this?”

However, Baird and the others didn’t pay much attention, after all, it wasn’t a big deal.

Subsequently, Bevis arranged for someone to take away the body of the King of Bodici.

Directly killing the King would also serve to effectively deter the resolve of any remaining resistance in the Boditch Kingdom, making full use of the situation.

Of course, Lis’s contributions wouldn’t be overlooked.

Given Lis’s strength and status, the fact that he didn’t oppress others to snatch credit was already commendable, and nobody would dare to take advantage of him.

Bevis and the other two, along with Lis, were enjoying fine wines and dishes in the Boditch Royal Palace, waiting for the outcome regarding Luminous Stone City.

In fact, this meant little to Lis. Whether it was Luminous Stone City or the subsequent sweep operations within the Boditch Kingdom, he wasn’t interested and didn’t plan to participate.

If it weren’t for waiting on the collection of Magic Books, Lis would have already prepared to return to Bright City with Helen and the others.

In his boredom, Lis casually summoned the system panel to check it.

Earlier, when Helen killed John Bertic, the system had prompted him, but at the time, Lis didn’t have the chance to check it.

———–

[Through your planning, you have successfully assassinated the current King of Boditch Kingdom, John Bertic!]

Go to

[You have gained the specialty [assassin]!]

[Specialty [assassin]: Inflicts additional damage on enemies with the rank of Earl or higher, with a damage increase ranging from 5% to 15%]

…

[You have activated the milestone task [usurper]!]

[[usurper] Task requirement: Lead to the deaths of five highly esteemed individuals (King or higher)!]

[Current completion: 1/5]

———–

Lis raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

The [assassin] specialty seemed to be one exclusively for assassins; however, it was quite practical for Lis.

Normally, the stronger the enemy, the likelier they were to possess a noble title, so meeting the [assassin] condition wasn’t too difficult.

However, the [usurper] landmark was one Lis had never heard of before, not even in his past life.

But the demands of this landmark were somewhat preposterous; to fulfill it, Lis would need to kill at least four more Kings of Kingdoms…

When would that even be? In the distant future?

Lis closed the system panel, as he was not about to go assassinating Kings of various Kingdoms just for this landmark task.

The case of Boditch Kingdom could be considered a special circumstance. Committing such deeds frequently amounted to disturbing the order of the entire continent, with severe consequences.

Let alone the difficulty, if Lis really assassinated a few Kings without good reason, it wouldn’t be long before Legendary Strongmen would come after him.

This was something Mr. Stephens had mentioned to him inadvertently. Many Legendary Strongmen would not tolerate such reckless behavior.

Looking out the window, several places in Luminous Stone City were already shrouded in thick smoke, and faint sounds of shouting could be heard.

There were still some sporadic resistances in Luminous Stone City, but against the siege of Feis’s elite soldiers, they wouldn’t last long.

Lis shook his head, thinking that by tomorrow when the sun rose, the long-oppressed Luminous Stone City would embrace its Newborn.

He had great respect for the foresight and extraordinary tactics of King Morton of the Feis Kingdom.

It was time to return to Bright City!

———–

Bright City, Noble District.

No. 36 Feis Street, Kane Mansion.

The morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the deep brown wooden floor of the Library, and a few specks of Dust floated in the sunlight amidst the faint scent of books, tranquil and comforting.

Click~

Soft footsteps sounded, and delicate, fair little feet stepped past the bookshelf and onto the floor in front of the window, lightly pointing forward, with the tender pink toenails glistening in the sunlight’s glow.

Smooth curvatures climbed up like buttered cream along her slender calves, ultimately hidden under the girl’s white knee-length nightgown. Even the unshapely nightgown could not conceal the fullness of her graceful figure.

Carefully opening the window, the fresh air rushed in. The mild morning light of June bathed the girl’s long and soft silvery hair, casting an ethereal dreamy glow.

Risa leaned against the window, observing the gardener below in the mansion’s garden tending to the Angela roses that covered the walls and bloomed profusely, her right hand gently combing her lengthy hair reaching her hips, her lips pursed lightly, while her flawless, beautiful face wore a hint of worry.

“Young Master Lis has been away for nearly half a year now, and there hasn’t been any word from him lately…”

Risa felt some concern, wondering if the Young Master had encountered trouble on his journey, as he had been away for such a lengthy period.

“No, that can’t be. Lord Joyce has said that the Young Master caused quite a stir in the Dillon Kingdom. With his formidable abilities, how could anything happen to him?”

“Sigh~”

The girl turned around and leaned on the window sill, her head tilted, gaze unfocused as she stared at the clouds drifting in the sky.

Blushing slightly, Risa suddenly turned her head and buried her face in her arms.

What was she thinking, contemplating such silly things!

At this moment, Risa displayed none of the aura befitting a Gold-level Mage. Languidly leaning on the window, she embodied the winsome innocence of a young maiden.

Under normal circumstances, Risa would have concealed herself with utmost care, never allowing herself to relax and enjoy the morning’s beauty so openly.
