Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 1565: Chapter 539: The Final Say

After Hamadi left, Rein stayed at the mansion for just one night, then returned to the location of the Bixiu Mechanization School, found a quiet secret chamber, and began to study the Fifth Layer of the Meditation Method.

He hadn’t expected that shortly after obtaining the Fifth Layer, he would start studying it.

Originally, according to his estimation, it would take several years at the earliest to reach the minimum requirement for learning—90% spiritual power qualitative transformation.

Rein originally thought that the depiction of the 256 Will Runes in the Fourth Layer of the Steel Heart was difficult enough, but after seeing the Fifth Layer, he was a little speechless.

”512 Runes? This...”

”This level of difficulty is really...”

However, Rein never thought he could easily grasp the Fifth Layer of the Advanced Meditation Method, so his mood quickly settled down.

After studying for a while, he stood up and paced back and forth in the secret chamber, contemplating.

”I see, a Fifth-level wizard begins to change the source of their own bloodline, initially possessing the ability to pass down their transcendent lineage. Their body is no longer just mortal, but between human and divine, the so-called Demigod level.”

”Of course, the higher the difficulty, the more powerful the corresponding effect.”

”If the model for the Fifth Layer of Steel Heart Advanced Meditation Method is fully depicted, the effect is to form a ’Steel Heart’ in the mental sea, increasing the effect of Metal Series Witchcraft by five times, far exceeding the two times of the previous four layers.”

Rein felt yearning!

”Five times! Not to mention other improvements, just this point alone would be overwhelming.”

After contemplating for a while, Rein decided to start trying the depiction.

The first Will Rune.

...

One hundredth...

...

Two hundredth...

...

Three hundred fifty-fourth!

”Whew~” Rein let out a deep breath.

The first attempt ended at three hundred fifty-four!

”Hiss~ This difficulty! It can’t even be exaggerated!”

”The target is 512, and falling short by over a hundred... how come even I have barely reached Dawn Peak level...”

To be honest, Rein is not someone who gives up easily, but seeing this gap, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

”No wonder, even the Empire Emperor with no shortage of resources, knowledge, and secret techniques, most of them also halted at the Dawn Peak level.”

”If I remember correctly, it seems only three Emperor Emperors have reached the Fifth-level Full Moon Wizard level in the past two thousand years of the Empire.”

”The difficulty is really too much!” Rein shook his head helplessly.

However, the beginning is always difficult, and this setback did not shake Rein’s determination.

After all, without small steps, a thousand miles can’t be reached.

So Rein tried more than ten times again... until his spiritual power gradually ran out, and his temples throbbed with pain, only then did he stop.

Although the progress increased to three hundred sixty-six runes, there was still a huge gap to the 512 runes goal.

”Shall I add some recovery or...”

If the target was four hundred runes, Rein would decisively invest attribute points, but this...”

”Forget it, with the current progress, I’ll wait, because I only have ten remaining attribute points. I’ll consider adding them in a couple of days when the progress really gets stuck.”

...

Meanwhile.

Inside the Dragon Empire Palace.

In a magnificent meeting room, Menia, Second Prince Everton, the Grand Princess Renala, and several elderly members of the royal family were holding a meeting.

In principle, during the period when the Empire Emperor is unable to govern for special reasons, this serves as the highest authority of the Dragon Empire.

”... What’s happening in the Patagonia Highlands is very important, but we’re short-handed in Imperial Guardian personnel, struggling.”

”Yesterday, after the Elder Council review, a batch of young Empire strong contenders who reached Epic Level was reported as Guardian candidates. Here’s the final list, everyone take a look. If there’re no objections, we should approve it as soon as possible.”

Menia sitting in the main seat, while speaking, waved his hand.

Several female attendants from the documentation room stepped forward and placed a list on the table in front of each royal family member present.

And at this moment, Second Prince Everton’s heart had already ’thudded’.

Could it be...

As the attendant respectfully handed the list, Everton’s gaze quickly fell on the paper:

”Tide Sword Saint’s first disciple Lambert.... Participated in many top-secret Empire actions... Successfully reached Sword Saint a month ago...”

”Vice Chief of the Imperial Swordsmen Rein.... Possesses unknown Giant Dragon bloodline... Notable battle achievements...”

”...”

Indeed!

Second Prince Everton’s eyelids twitched instantly.

If Rein becomes an Imperial Guardian, he can then immediately proceed with mutual selection with the Giant Dragon, thus bypassing the Dragon Knight Reserve process and directly becoming a Dragon Knight.

More importantly, all Empire resources will be opened to him.

This means that his power might see another significant increase!

Even if father heals and returns, in the current turbulent environment, considering how to handle his influence would be quite prudently considered.

No, it must be stopped!

”I agree. The Empire’s situation is currently tumultuous, and Imperial Guardians are urgently in need of fresh blood, otherwise, relying on us old bones alone might not hold for long.” An elderly royal family member put down the list, smiled and nodded.

”Yes! Especially this Rein, with substantial strength, easily defeated Pantoscoke, should’ve been included in the Imperial Guardian team long ago.”
