Black Dragon Empire, within the palace’s gardens.

Black Dragon Empire’s Emperor Solomon was sitting on a chair while holding two pretty and flirtatious bare young women in his embrace. Several young woman stood beside him while peeling fruits, before putting them into his mouth.

A middle-aged man arrived before Solomon, before handing him a document: “Your Majesty, this is a petition handed in by Satsuma Marquisdom’s twenty eight Warlock families. They request Your Majesty to make a decree and strip Rex of his Viscount title as well as the ownership of his territories. Also, they want the magic stone veins returned to them.”

This middle-aged man was Black Dragon Empire’s manager of internal affairs Pennygoldo and he had the terrifying strength of a pinnacle level-3 Warlock. He was also Solomon’s trusted aid and had great power in Black Dragon Empire.

Solomon picked up the document and swept it with a glance, before casually tossing it aside and saying lightly: “Had Rex really occupied the magic stone veins of the twenty eight Warlock families?”

Pennygoldo’s eyes flashed with a touch of a peculiar radiance before saying in a somewhat fomenting manner: “He had! Although Rex acted under the disguised of dark elves and had handed over the bodies of several hundred dark elves, but his people quickly occupied those magic stone veins and started madly mining them. Based on the various signs, it’s very likely that those magic stone veins were occupied by him.”

Solomon said with a gentle laugh: “What’s very likely? Those magic stone veins were occupied by him, it’s as simple as that.”

Pennygoldo hesitated before saying: “Your Majesty, occupying magic stone veins of aristocrats is punishable by death!”

Satsuma Marquisdom was one of the Black Dragon Empire’s territories with large amounts of magic stone veins. But the majority of magic stone veins belonged to Warlock families. According to the laws of Black Dragon Empire, even Johan had no way of occupying them. Now that those magic stone veins were forcefully occupied by Yang Feng, then according to the law’s of Black Dragon empire, he would definitely be sentenced to death.

Solomon said lightly: “He’s very clever. He hadn’t brazenly invaded and occupied them, but rather used the dark elves as a pretext. The timing was also quite cleverly chosen. If we deprived him of his title and territorie, then who would want to go to Satsuma Marquisdom and fight against the dark elves?”

Pennygoldo became silent at once.

There were eight connections to the under world in Black Dragon Empire. One was blocked by Yang Feng. In the remaining seven connections, Black Dragon Empire’s Warlocks and dark elves were endlessly fighting and killing each other, with the casualties of both parties being disastrous. Unless a large number of experts were dispatched to Satsuma Marquisdom from the headquarters of the Black Dragon Tower; otherwise, there was no other mobile force that could be found elsewhere capable of suppressing the dark elves from the under world’s allied forces.

Solomon smiled and said: “He’s currently of great value and he’s aware of that! That’s the only reason why he was so fierce. Such young people really cannot be underestimated.”

Solomon said lightly: “Pennygoldo, send someone to deliver a message to Rex. Tell him that I want 40% of the mined magic stones.”

Although Solomon was the Emperor of Black Dragon Empire and had access to tremendous quantities of resources, but large portion of them belonged to Black Dragon Empire and technically didn’t belonged to him. Although he could use those tremendous resources of Black Dragon Empire to practice cultivation, but he still had never relaxed and stopped gathering his own resources.

When Solomon abdicates, he would have to use his own resources in order to continue practicing cultivation. Of course, Black Dragon Tower would allocate a portion of resources for his practice of cultivation; but when it came to resources, the more one had of them the better.

Pennygoldo complied respectfully: “Yes! Your Majesty!”

Fire Nation was one of the largest kingdoms in Turandot Subcontinent and was only second to the few kingdoms on the level of Black Dragon Empire. Fire Tower was the Warlock group controlling Fire Nation. The Master of the Fire Tower was the Great Warlock Traximus.

Fire Tower was only second to the six great forces of Turandot Subcontinent. Traximus was acknowledged as one of the strongest experts in Turandot Subcontinent and his terrifying power was extremely near that of a Starry Sky Warlock. If it were not for the fact that Fire Tower had only him as a Great Warlock, then Fire Tower might have already become the seventh great force of Turandot Subcontinent.

The headquarters of Fire Tower were located in Fire Nation’s Flaming Valley.

Flaming Valley was a volcanic valley formed of more than a dozen active volcanoes. Traximus, trough a terrifying spell, had assimilated the several dozen active volcanoes into the defensive setup of Flaming Valley and established a seven-storied Warlock Tower in the volcanic valley. Moreover, he had built a beautiful and enchanting city with that Warlock Tower as the center.

There were several hundred three-storied or higher Warlock Towers forming a group of Warlock Towers in Flaming Valley. There were at least 30,000 Apprentice Warlocks in Flaming Valley learning all kinds of knowledge as well as at least 200,000 mortals servicing the Apprentice Warlocks as well as the Warlocks.

Inside the seven-storied Warlock Tower. The entrance to the top most story opened slowly before an old man slowly came out. The old man was white-bearded and white-haired yet his eyes were bright and piercing, he was seemingly brimming with even more vigor than a young person. He was dressed in a robe adorned with a flame pattern and a golden thread on the cuffs. This old man was Fire Tower’s Master, Traximus.

After Traximus came out, his body at once turned into a cluster of firelight. He had vanished from where he had stood before strangely appearing in a private room.

Traximus’ eyebrows creased slightly before he said: “Anna, what happened? Hadn’t I instructed you not to disturb me if there’s nothing urgent?”

Anna looked worried as she said: “Teacher, the dark elves from the under world’s allied forces had already killed their way out of the under world.”

Traximus smiled coldly before saying with much disdain: “Dark elves? Trifling dark elves, they don’t amount to anything more than being our playthings.”

Turandot Subcontinent’s dark elves were playthings and pats captured by human Warlocks from other planes in ancient times. As a most pinnacle Great Warlock, Traximus naturally wouldn’t pay those trifling dark elves any heed.

“Teacher, since You’re certain that You can deal with them, then that’s for the best.”
