I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Startled by the sudden noise beside him, Lis jerked, and his hair stood on end.

The magic model he was constructing in his hands almost failed to maintain its structure, and Lis hurriedly reorganized his control over the magic elements to stabilize the nearly out-of-control magic model and then slowly dissipated it.

Luckily, Lis now possessed elemental control that was quite outstanding, already on par with a typical Gold-level Mage. Otherwise, he would have certainly witnessed an explosion on the spot given such a fright.

"Not bad, your elemental control is quite outstanding already,"

the same voice sounded again from beside him, causing Lis to take a deep breath before turning to look.

A young man dressed in a black mage robe stood behind him, smiling kindly at him.

Although this young man was just standing there ordinarily, in Lis's eyes, he seemed like the center of the entire world.

Numerous magic elements spontaneously revolved around him, even the most explosive Fire Element and the most stable Earth Element behaved tamely like lambs in his presence.

This scene was familiar to Lis, and without any hesitation, he bowed deeply and said:

"Honored Lord Stephens, it is a great honor to meet you."

"Oh, you have seen me before?"

Fran asked with a smile, his demeanor very friendly yet imposing immense pressure on Lis.

Why was this big-shot back in Bright City at this time? In his previous life, this individual had returned only after the assassination at the Sacrificial Festival.

And to appear in his own laboratory?

Lis's brain was rapidly thinking, pondering all possibilities, yet he respectfully replied:

"Yes, I have seen a portrait of the Dean at the academy."

Lest to say about Lis having seen this "Judgment Flame" in his previous life, just the extraordinary situation around him—other than a Legendary-level Mage, who else could it be? And Bright City just so happened to be the residence of a Legendary Mage.

"Hehe."

Fran waved his hand, and two chairs leaning against the wall floated over.

"Sit," Fran said with a smile, seating himself in one of the chairs.

Even though it was Lis's house, Fran acted as if he naturally belonged there; however, Lis did not find anything inappropriate about it.

Are you kidding? This man was a Legendary Strongman. He behaved the same way even at the king's court, not to mention in front of a mere Viscount like himself.

Lis obediently sat down in the other chair, looking like he was waiting for the big shot to give orders.

Fran suddenly turned his head to glance at a shadow on the wall, then smilingly said to Lis:

"You're Lis, right? Audis told me you've already become an Arcanist?"

In fact, the moment Fran saw Lis, he knew that he was indeed a true Arcanist.

The phenomenon of magic elements gathering around Lis's body was very conspicuous in the eyes of another Arcanist.

"Yes, Dean,"

"Good," Fran nodded, then smilingly asked:

"I've been asked to take you as my disciple; would you be willing to?"

What is this situation?

Lis's brain was reeling, feeling as if you were lying comfortably at home in your previous life when suddenly a group of men in black burst in, and the leading man in a suit respectfully tells you that you are the illegitimate child of the nation's wealthiest man, asking you to inherit all his fortune.

Stunned somewhat by the news, Lis, however, did not hesitate in his response.

"I am willing, Dean!"

Joking aside, this was about becoming a disciple of a Legendary Mage!

Speaking seriously, merely by the status of a disciple of a Legendary Mage, his standing was not beneath that of Second Prince Yatean.

No need to worry about the Second Prince attempting to assassinate him; just by announcing his status, standing there would make the Second Prince dare not lay a finger on him.

However, it was strange, why did "Judgement Flame" suddenly take him as a disciple?

Did he find out from the Vice Chancellor Audis?

That shouldn't be, even if his successful transition to an Arcanist proved his talent, the Chancellor should still not be in the Royal Capital at this time; he couldn't have come back just because of him!

And what he just mentioned, entrusted by someone?

The elders of his own family should all be gone, could it be....

Lis suddenly had a vague guess, but he still needed to confirm some things.

"Hmm, just call me teacher from now on."

Fran was quite satisfied, taking such a genius as a disciple was much better than teaching a blockhead.

"Yes, Teacher."

Lis spoke very naturally, as if he had practiced it many times before.

"Haha!"

Fran laughed and said,

"I once had a disciple, but he didn't break through to Legendary and has passed away. So now, you are my only disciple."

"I don't have any special requirements, after all, learning and growth are your own matters, you have to be clear about this."

"I will be in the academy during this period, starting from now, come to the First Magic Workshop every morning."

"How much you can learn during my time at the academy depends on you."

"Now that you've become an Arcanist, I'll leave you with these words,"

"Knowledge is the true existence we should revere, not the gods."

Fran stood up, casually delivering this blasphemous statement to Lis in the eyes of the Church of the Gods.

"Oh, nearly forgot."

Fran moved his right hand, and a brass ring with an ancient design emitting a crystal-clear glow appeared in front of Lis.

Indicating Lis to take the ring, Fran winked and said with a smile,

"Since I've taken you as a disciple, as a teacher, I naturally won't be stingy, this ring is for you."

After speaking, Fran's figure vanished from the basement silently, just as when he had appeared.

At the same time, a white Identity Information Card appeared on the table.

Lis swallowed, took the floating brass ring in front of him, but instead of rushing to inspect it, he calmed his emotions and started to ponder his current situation.

So now I am the disciple of a Legendary Mage?

This sudden surprise made Lis somewhat unaccustomed, feeling like he was in a dream.

He pinched himself hard, Lis expressionlessly confirmed the situation again.

Yes, it hurt, not dreaming!

No wonder Lis was so excited, the situation was truly astonishing.

You see, it's still before the great tide of the Gaia World era, not yet the chaotic times when all demons ran amok.

Even by that time, a Legendary Mage was still among the strongest.

And now, his Highness at the Feis Royal Magic Academy, indeed, is the only Legendary Strongman publicly known in the Feis Kingdom.

This is truly a top-tier protective talisman!

This also means that Lis can now strut around within the Feis Kingdom territory, as long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, even the King would not dare touch him!

Truth be told, Lis felt a strong urge to rush up to the Second Prince and punch him in the face.
