This Legendary Mage shared a similar penchant with the Dragon Clan, fascinated by shiny jewels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his limited interactions with players, the rewards he provided were magic rings he crafted himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, the ability to utilize various magical equipment and artifacts was also a part of a mage’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Steven’s power wasn’t weak at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, not strong enough to match Risa and Joyce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy appearing suddenly, is he trying to seize the Floating City from me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlikely, in a past life, this [Magic Machinery Master] stealthily attempted to ambush Risa, clearly not someone with the dignity of a mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared outside the Floating City intending to negotiate; what’s his agenda?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis was somewhat puzzled, but now that he had revealed the Floating City, he naturally wouldn’t worry about the covetous eyes of these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside the Black Cat, Lis appeared here through space transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Cat was about to contact Lis but retracted its projection upon seeing his arrival, quietly observing from the control room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pleased to meet you, [Magic Machinery Master] Steven Kruger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis faced Steven with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that past life when he appeared, the players, including himself, were all Bronze Rank newbies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he stood face-to-face with this Legendary Mage as an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>",861,"2026-06-03T10:58:48.112Z","2026-06-03T10:58:54.021Z",1,"novelbin.me","add9057ebd9e1f08ef963d0a45beb014a5356884a8c477dddb8ec8b698178cda","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-951","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-850",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
