If I’m interested, I’ll take a look. Have someone send over the exploration records.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, everything is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mora nodded, having anticipated Lis might be interested upon acquiring this magic book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these things had already been prepared,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but honestly, this Mist Wilderness small world was quite mysteriously dangerous, and weaker exploration teams had suffered significant setbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had I known earlier, I would have arranged for the undead to explore there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for some unknown reason, the undead hadn’t accepted missions as before lately, instead gathering in a place called the Blue Sea Mini World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mora knew Lis was quite concerned about these undead, so he paid extra attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s leave it at that for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis stood up, and his figure disappeared from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mora unsurprisingly got up and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Lis broke through to the legendary level, Mora understood the gap between them had widened even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite less frequent communication, Mocha didn’t dwell on it too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lis still trusted him as before, entrusting the White Dove Guild to his management.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Dove Guild had now become a complete giant, far surpassing his family’s Golden Vine Flower Commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father had written many times urging him to return and take over the position of guild president, but Mora always refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, due to Mora’s connections, the development of Golden Vine Flower Commerce was fairly smooth, leaving only his father with some regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected to train his younger son more, only for Lis to poach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no arguing with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had to thank Lord Lis for his care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, holding the magic book, returned to the arcane workshop and placed it on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This magic book was incredibly precious in every aspect, but Lis was more concerned not about the book itself, but why it appeared in the Mist Wilderness small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Wilderness small world was a relatively special small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its area was about the same as the Blue Sea Mini World, but the small world was perpetually shrouded in dense gray fog, without any intelligent races living there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray fog enveloped the entire small world, with no distinction between day and night, allowing visibility of only a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world seemed to be slipping into death, with no signs of life, as desolate as a graveyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely the opposite of the Swamp Lizard Man Nest small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this small world had a considerable number of ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should have been left behind by people who once lived in this small world and still held many treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in previous times, the Mist Wilderness small world was quite popular among players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many players who liked such eerie and terrifying environments often explored this small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the fog creatures that emerged, there was nothing particularly dangerous in this small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was conceivable that finding some treasures in this small world was highly likely, but the presence of this magic book from the Magic Empire there was a bit strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, according to Mora, the exploration team obtained this magic book from a place suspected to be a Magic Empire ruin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was very odd indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In previous times, players hadn’t explored the Mist Wilderness small world completely, but the majority of regions had no remaining secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were no Magic Empire ruins among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What, then, was the issue with the ruin discovered by the White Dove Guild exploration team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis did not believe their luck was so good that they could discover a place overlooked by players just after the small world began to be explored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This felt more like something someone had planned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this purpose, even sacrificing a precious magic book?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person orchestrating these events was undoubtedly formidable, and the target was very likely himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there were not many things capable of attracting a legendary mage, and the relics of the Magic Empire were certainly among them.\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-06-03T10:58:51.595Z","2026-06-03T10:58:57.738Z",1,"novelbin.me","60be6ba1b56cdaccfa435f942a2d22b62d9326103ef4b4eca53ea2dd436f9c84","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1160","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1158",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
