extraordinary professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All strong individuals travel to the Kingdom of Raine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the reason the Kingdom of Raine has remained powerful and never fallen, is rumored to be because there is a hidden force within the Kingdom of Raine named the Morlock Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strong individuals in the Kingdom of Raine may receive an invitation from the Morlock Temple to join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Lis, this name suggests that this small world might be the domain of some extraordinary forces from the Gaia main world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, it might be a divine church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what puzzles Lis is that if it truly is the domain of a divine church, then why hasn’t the church’s faith spread to other kingdoms, instead merely recruiting extraordinary strong people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet to Lis, this is still somewhat good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he can confirm which divine church the Morlock Temple belongs to, Lis can find that force in the Gaia main world and gain the opportunity to enter the small world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hanna knows very little, and has limited knowledge about the Morlock Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Hanna’s description, it would seem that a legendary strong man exists in the Morlock Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That being the case, Lis feels he should be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he plans to begin with the Kingdom of Sallar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can be confirmed now is that the Kingdom of Sallar certainly does not have any legendary strong man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is believed the royal family of the Kingdom of Sallar would have more understanding of the Morlock Temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage Lis is in is currently heading towards Rekton City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore, who is driving the carriage, seems to want to say something but ultimately says nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the carriage advances, Rekton City is already vaguely visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they approach Rekton City, Theodore’s keen intuition suddenly captures a slight strange aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rekton City is a crucial transportation hub located at the border of the two countries, usually bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The caravans traveling between the two kingdoms are like shoals of fish, endlessly coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, when Theodore casts his gaze towards the familiar city, the sight makes his heart tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road before the city walls shows not a trace of any caravans, empty as if swept by an unseen storm, leaving only a deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the city gate, a team of soldiers in fine equipment is neatly arrayed, their posture erect, eyes stern, weapons flashing cold under the sunlight, seemingly ready for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore’s gaze moves upwards along the city walls, only to see the magic ballistae on the walls glowing with dazzling brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow is reminiscent of twinkling stars in the night sky, yet carrying a chilling killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These magic ballistae have clearly been activated; just a command away from unleashing deadly arrows like raindrops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a dreadful thought flashes through Theodore’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a trap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of crisis spreads through him like an electric current, prompting his body to react faster than his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sharply pulls the reins, letting out an urgent cry, steering the carriage into a sharp turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hooves kick up clouds of dust, the carriage wildly changes direction amidst the jolting, racing away from Rekton City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theodore knows deeply that they are in extreme danger at this moment; every second wasted might plunge him and Hanna, along with others, into an unforgivable abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis, witnessing this scene, sits up with interest, observing what unfolds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mentioned before that the other nobles of the kingdom teamed up to attack the Grant family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those nobles, can they command the troops of this border city?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember you said Rekton City isn’t the territory of any noble, but directly belongs to the royal family, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis smiles faintly, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, it seems like those wanting the Grant family gone aren’t just the nobles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lis’s words, Hanna barely manages to sit up in the abruptly redirected carriage, biting her lip, unsure of what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems, noticing Theodore’s urgent movements, the soldiers who were originally waiting in formation at the city wall suddenly became as startled as frightened birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their previously orderly formation instantly turns chaotic, each of them charging towards the carriage like fierce beasts, footsteps shaking the ground slightly, dust raised diffusing into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, Theodore and his group seem like prizes to fight over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the magic ballistae on the city walls begin to unleash their terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrows imbued with wind element and fire element scream through the ballistae, the wind element granting the arrows lightning speed, cutting through the air like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire element ignites the arrows with roaring flames, carrying a breath of destruction, lunging towards the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp whistling sound seems like the call of the Death God, sending chills down the spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, Lis who was leisurely sitting suddenly senses the burst of immense magic power fluctuations, narrowing his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he stands atop the carriage, standing amidst the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks up at the arrows raining down, his eyes showing no trace of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand slowly grasps forward, as if holding the space itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, time seems to freeze, all arrows aimed at the carriage suddenly stall in mid-air, as if tightly gripped by an invisible hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those originally aggressive arrows now look as if under an immobilization spell, hanging motionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lis gently pinches his hand, followed by a crisp crackling sound, all arrows shatter, turning into sparkling particles dissipating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors charging forth upon seeing this scene, their charging momentum instantly slows down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stare wide-eyed, faces full of fear and disbelief, as if witnessing the most unimaginable event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally thinking with their fine equipment and strong magic attack, they could easily capture this carriage, yet never expected their attacks to be so effortlessly neutralized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those on the Rekton city walls seeing this scene become even more panic-stricken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magic ballistae on the walls are their most powerful weapons, able to guard this city, hardly opposed by even extraordinary strong people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it seems everything before Lis is simply powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes are filled with fear, bodies involuntarily trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lis flashes like a phantom, appearing atop the city wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stands at the edge of the wall, looking down at everyone below with a smile of interest on his face, as if enjoying a fascinating performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldiers on the wall, who were previously aggressive, witnessing Lis seem to see a terrifying demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They retreat in fear, steps chaotic, some even accidentally falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis looking at their pathetic appearance lightly shakes his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can feel that the soldiers before him are quite ordinary in strength, far inferior to Theodore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably relying on the magic ballistae on the wall, they dared to launch an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis slightly turns his head, looking at another person nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the other soldiers, this person wears an opulent black outfit, each finger adorned with gemstone rings, his corpulence strikingly noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Lis’s gaze, this person hurriedly steps back, face as pale as if about to faint any second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you, you... who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This fat man speaks shakily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Third Prince of the Kingdom of Sallar, isn’t assisting those Sons of Demon a fear you’d be hunted by the entire kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a cliché tone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lis shakes his head, looking at the fat man before him and says:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you’re a prince, I happen to have some questions for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Behave yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1276,"2026-06-03T10:59:06.081Z","2026-06-03T10:59:12.836Z",1,"novelbin.me","9725f84dc6ca8cd3db389e5b56d46bda17152672aaec963cc0198998df5afbf5","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1301","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-1657","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
