Chapter 589: 487 Turbulent undercurrent_3
"The ’Coffin’ is a form of life suspension on oneself or others, akin to artificial hibernation. If one sleeps in it, even if thousands or tens of thousands of years pass by in the outside world, the person frozen inside will not undergo any changes. Theoretically, it could even evade the apocalypse."
As for the ’Tower’, it is even more of a trump card in Morgan’s hand, denoting an astoundingly powerful weapon. Its range is wide enough to cover the entire Fairy Country of Britain and can even target beyond its border, managing precise strikes across worlds."
From these amazingly effective feats of magic, one could see how profound Morgan’s ability as a magician was. She had continuously developed so many powerful spells on her own, including spacetime formulas, life suspension, and the reenactment of various ancient mysteries, which was simply unbelievable."
Yet, this was not the extent of Morgan’s abilities."
Morgan had also developed the ’Pile’, a powerful magic that even Reiger got drawn into, along with her ability to forcibly inscribe command spells on all elves in Fairy Country Britain and extract their Magic Power. Such methods were beyond the reach of any common magician or magic user."
If this library held the inheritance of great magic rites such as ’Mirror’, ’Tower’, ’Court’, ’Coffin’, even Reiger would be moved."
Regrettably, it did not."
However...
"Just because it’s not here now, doesn’t mean it can’t be here in the future, right?"
Reiger glanced at his own back and then touched his chest."
Then, he left the royal palace’s library and returned to his own room."
It is worth mentioning that in the past few days, Lancelot and Gawain had also repeatedly visited Reiger."
The two Elf Knights, who had just fought for their lives against Reiger, came to Camelot, and after meeting Reiger, they visited him numerous times as if they were old acquaintances, not treating Reiger as an outsider at all."
Their visits were simple, just casual chats."
"Are Elf Knights always this idle?"
Reiger had expressed quite impolitely."
However, the two Elf Knights were more candid than Reiger expected."
"His Majesty hasn’t sent me on a campaign, but instead has me stay in the palace, probably to prevent someone from breaking in to rescue you, right?"
Gawain was quite blunt in telling Reiger this."
Lancelot was even more direct."
"I am indeed very idle, is there a problem?"
As he said this, the Dragon Elf tilted his head, looking genuinely puzzled, which almost left Reiger at a loss for words."
"Forget it, as long as you’re happy."
Reiger no longer bothered with the two of them, serving them drinks whenever they liked to visit."
On the other hand, Morgan, the queen who was soon to be Reiger’s spouse, had not appeared since their parting in the Jade Throne Hall; it seemed as though she had completely forgotten Reiger. She stayed in the Jade Throne Hall around the clock, never leaving even for a moment."
"This is Queen Morgan’s style."
"She basically won’t leave the Jade Throne."
Gawain and Lancelot had mentioned this."
This was why, when Morgan suddenly left the Jade Throne to personally enter the battlefield in Salisbury, it shocked Lancelot, Gawain, and Woodworth immensely."
It was precisely because Morgan hardly ever left the Jade Throne, so her sudden appearance in Salisbury made Lancelot and the others uncontrollably shaken."
This also indicated one thing."
"You have the value that made Queen Morgan leave the Jade Throne."
"Although I don’t know why, it’s certain that Her Majesty holds you in high regard."
The two Elf Knights had once said such words in front of Reiger."
This left Reiger silent for a long time."
However, he did not go to the Jade Throne Hall to search for Morgan but continued to idly spend his days in the palace, treating Morgan as if she did not exist."
The fact that a couple about to be married in less than a month could live under the same roof yet act as if the other did not exist, doing their own things, would surely seem very strange to anyone who knew."
But indeed, Reiger and Morgan were ignoring each other just like that, one moving in and out of the palace, constantly wandering, the other cooped up in the Jade Throne Hall, always staying inside. It truly was a stark contrast."
Today was no different; Reiger, treating Morgan as if she didn’t exist, first wandered outside before returning to his room."
But, upon returning, Reiger’s foot, just as he was about to step into his room, suddenly paused."
——
In the familiar room he had been living in for several days, everything seemed as if seen for the first time, no changes had occurred."
Yet, Reiger stood silently for a while, then walked into the room and closed the door."
He walked forward in the ominously silent room, stopping only when he reached the exact center."
"This way?"
Suddenly, Reiger turned around, facing a mirror beside him, and extended a finger toward it."
There, in the mirror which should have reflected Reiger’s image, appeared another unfamiliar figure."
"Hehe..."
In a charming laugh, the girl in the mirror pointed her finger at Reiger, making a shooting gesture."
The next second, a dark magic bullet shot out from the mirror, heading towards Reiger."
Simultaneously, Reiger’s finger aimed at the girl also launched a fireball."
"Bang!"
The fireball and the magic bullet collided with each other, exploding upon impact."
