Chapter 304: Luosen's Mundane Giant Eye (12)

If one does not draw power from the magic ring, where should one obtain power?

In the top-floor guest room of the manor, Naya and their spouse were tidying the room.

Luosen leaned against the observation balcony of the guest room, aimlessly watching the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside the garden.

The couple did it themselves, not because the manor lacked servants to attend to daily life, but because Luosen's identity needed to be kept secret temporarily.

The question was asked by Naya.

On the Black Stone carriage, she hadn't deeply pondered Luosen's words, but after witnessing his various magical means, she carefully reconsidered his earlier views, and the more she thought, the more profound they seemed.

Luosen grew tired of watching the street scene, shook his head, looked at the sun in the sky, and felt the sun was large, its diameter at least thirty percent greater than that of his plane.

This is only natural, because the Nawate Plane is much closer to the sun than their plane.

Facing Naya's question, he smiled: 'Of course one obtains it from the elements.'

Spinn Mage was casting a cleaning spell on the entire room, because they rarely had visitors, the guest room remained empty and had accumulated a lot of dust.

He was also very interested in this question and immediately followed up: 'Element acquisition? Is it through burning Black Stone?'

After saying that, he muttered to himself: 'That's actually not a bad method.'

But the various conversion arrays are immature. Moreover, the power from burning Black Stone is still not strong enough nor stable, far inferior to drawing from the magic ring.

Luosen laughed: 'The power of the magic ring is certainly good, but the power of the magic ring actually has an upper limit.'

If too much is drawn in a short time, the magic ring's protection of the mortal world will weaken, even producing a void in the magic ring.

Normally, this void does not persist long; it quickly heals, lasting no more than half a second, but powerful gods of Legendary rank above 12 are capable of seizing this loophole.

Having said that, Luosen turned his head to look at the busy couple in the guest room.

Have you two not noticed that, due to excessive drawing of magic ring power, the magic ring of Youlai City is noticeably weaker than elsewhere?

Naya was spreading fresh bedding on the bed, at this moment lifting her buttocks to smooth out the wrinkles on the sheet.

This sight made Luosen glance again, his heart warming slightly.

But right after, he felt an abnormal gaze from beside, accompanied by an extremely faint soul undulation.

It was Spinn Mage.

Laifu immediately detected this abnormal movement and inferred the truth behind that faint undulation.

Luosen glanced at Laifu's report, his heart slightly startled: '5% sadness, 5% pain, 90% anticipation?'

What is there to anticipate? Men all understand, it goes without saying.

Is this Spinn Mage someone who's been abused too much and developed a masochistic tendency?

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and immediately Luosen heard Naya's voice.

Has it become weaker?

Luosen gave her another look and countered: 'Isn't there?'

Before, Naya had only the soul strength of Legendary 3, but after acquiring the erudite adornment, she rose to Legendary 10, her perception becoming much sharper.

After she carefully sensed it, she exclaimed: 'It really does exist.'

Spinn Mage's strength is just under Legendary 7, and he also came back from his reverie.

After focusing his senses, he also had a vague realization: 'What should we do? We can't just not use magic, can we?'

Luosen smiled faintly: 'The best method is naturally to find a way to replenish power to the magic ring, of course, but this is difficult.'

Speaking of which, this really is somewhat ironic.

When mortals need to draw magical power from the plane's magic ring, there is no way to charge the magic ring.

But when mortals gain the ability to charge the plane's magic ring, they no longer need to draw power from it.

It's truly drought kills the drought-stricken, flood kills the flooded.

So, Luosen temporarily stopped delving into this topic and comforted the two.

Don't worry, the absolute strength of the plane's magic ring is still high; although it's slightly weaker here than elsewhere, it's sufficient to block the invasion of powerful gods.

He also added in his mind: 'A great god might not be stoppable.'

But Naya and her husband worrying about this is useless; he will himself think of a way to respond.

Thus, he immediately spoke of the matter: 'These three days, we cannot just wait idly; we must obtain an army loyal to us to control the situation.'

Do you have such an army?

Naya shook her head: 'The mobilization of the Sky Guard requires a joint decision of the Sky Council.'

That is to say, none.

Luosen didn't find this system laughable either, knowing its original intent was to prevent armies from being used for private purposes.

When fighting demons, this system can well reduce the harm caused by fallen councilors.

But there is no eternal order in the world; to cope with emergencies, any system leaves a backdoor for dealing with them.

He immediately asked: 'Is there a wartime exemption clause?'

Yes, if a demon invasion is detected, the Sky Guard can be urgently mobilized to expel the demons.

Luosen understood: 'The Light Divine Race are not demons, and are even friends. Thus it's difficult to mobilize the army against their saints and missionaries.'

Indeed, the Light Divine Race are too good at disguising themselves.

Luosen thought for a moment and said: 'Then we can only temporarily bypass the system; do you have any familiar Sky Guard officers? Preferably high-ranking, otherwise mid-level will do.'

Naya nodded: 'Although the regulations prohibit councilors from getting too close to officers, I have a distant cousin who is serving as a colonel in the Sky Guard.'

His regiment is stationed in the suburbs of the capital.

In the Sky Guard's organization, a colonel equals a colonel in the Natural Empire, counting as a high-ranking officer.

From the title it can be seen that such an officer commands about a thousand warriors.

That's more than enough.

Luosen then said: "Then bring him over and let's talk."

Na Ya nodded: "He has a day off tomorrow; I'll go find him."

Luosen looked at Master Si Bin again: "The Sky Guard's weapons are too weak; a single thousand‑man commander can't let us fully control the situation."

"Therefore, I still need a secret site to transport a batch of high‑end war supplies to arm the army brought by that thousand‑man commander."

Master Si Bin asked immediately: "How large does the site need to be?"

"A basement, the larger the better; it must not be smaller than 400 m²."

Si Bin said at once: "I'll immediately expand my underground alchemy chamber."

"Very good."

After a while, Na Ya asked again: "Your Majesty, how do you guarantee Azu Na's loyalty? Is it through the erudite head ornament?"

Hearing that, Luosen sensed the worry in Na Ya's heart.

Clearly, she feared that using this powerful artifact to control the wearer's soul would be problematic.

He could also feel that Master Si Bin shared the same concern.

It's human nature; no one likes to have their throat held while living. Luosen, of course, knows that.

He smiled lightly: "Of course not."

His gaze drifted emptily at the passing pedestrians on the street, and in a strange tone he said: "In fact, I'm watching Azu Na's every move."

"And the facts also prove that he is steadfastly following me, meticulously carrying out my orders."

Laifu's void sight ability, after nearly six years of constant training and augmented by supercomputing power, has reached an inconceivable pinnacle.

This ability narrows to perceive the subtlety of human hearts and expands to overlook the worldly panorama.

In panoramic scan, it can perceive void sight with a diameter of 500 km.

However, if scanning a single direction and combining the unique soul wave triggered by the erudite head ornament for positioning, it can "see" up to 5 000 km.

As long as Azu Na moves within this range, Luosen can see his every action clearly.

He could of course flee, even leave this plane, but Luosen has long observed Azu Na and knows he is a person out of touch with the times.

Running away is being a dog, staying is also being a dog; he would naturally be a dog for someone stronger.

Na Ya and her husband naturally don't know Luosen's ability limits, so they don't fully grasp his words, but they do know Luosen's might, and their awe deepens.

Master Si Bin, thinking about creating the secret site, saw that the guest room had been cleared, and he immediately went to the manor's underground alchemy chamber to begin the expansion spell.

Even if it were 9‑ring mana, it would be a very easy task; moreover, now that he possesses near‑Legendary 7 mana, it naturally proceeds quickly and well.

It is worth mentioning that before leaving, he casually glanced at Luosen and his own wife, and his inexplicable anticipation grew stronger.

Luosen saw it all clearly and thought to himself, "Hey—this guy is really interesting."

On the other side, once the husband left, Na Ya suddenly realized she was alone in a room with Luosen again, and she immediately felt uneasy.

"Your Majesty, I'll instruct the servants to prepare dinner."

Luosen raised an eyebrow: "No need; Mr. Si Bin has already gone to give the orders on his way."

As he spoke, he rose from the balcony into the room, closed the balcony door, hurried a few steps to Na Ya's side, lifted his hand to clasp her slender waist, and whispered into her ear.

"Master Na Ya, since we last partied, I've actually missed you a lot."

Na Ya had previously stayed at Swan Castle for five days and rested five days, and with her legendary mage's robust body she was already refreshed and radiant.

At that moment, being held by Luosen, her alabaster cheek flushed visibly, and she whispered, "Your Majesty, my husband is still downstairs."

Luosen chuckled: "Master Si Bin previously stated clearly that he doesn't mind."

Na Ya forced a bitter smile: "How can that be taken seriously? He will resent you."

"If you still wish to borrow his power, you must show him respect."

Na Ya spoke of human nature, but specific issues should be analyzed case by case.

Although Luosen had been here less than half a day, his understanding of Master Si Bin already surpassed Na Ya's.

Luosen chuckled and switched to a secret soul whisper.

"Na Ya, then you're mistaken; Master Si Bin is a very contradictory person."

"He indeed feels sad, but at the same time he worships me and even looks forward to me comforting his wife."

This is the conclusion he reached after observation and analysis; otherwise he wouldn't do such a ridiculous thing.

Na Ya was a bit confused: "Your Majesty, what strange words are those?"

Luosen smiled lightly: "It's mutual understanding between men."

As he spoke, he continued his actions, while Na Ya's mood was very conflicted, both resistant and expectant.

Half‑pushed, half‑pulled, a fierce storm began to brew in the guest room.

When the storm was halfway through, Na Ya suddenly sensed that her husband, busy in the basement, was eavesdropping and listening intently.

She blushed deeply and cooed, "Your Majesty, you're humiliating me!"

Luosen smiled, not answering but asking back, "Master Na Ya, is Master Si Bin a quick shooter?"

Na Ya paused, then lightly nodded: "Hmm."

Each time it is swift and never exceeds two minutes; the longest was one minute fifty‑nine seconds, so each time leaves her in a limbo.

If not for this, back at Swan Castle she wouldn't have betrayed her husband.

Luosen smiled: "No one likes being a quick shooter, but it's a talent, and there exists a peculiar experiential rule."

"What rule?"

"Those with sharper minds, higher concentration, and keener spirits—most intelligent people—tend to be fast‑and‑decisive quick shooters."

"Because they're so perceptive, they do everything quickly."

Na Ya thought the words made some sense, yet felt odd.

"Then why aren't you, Your Majesty?"

"It's an experiential rule; there will always be exceptions."

Luosen was plowing back and forth on the fertile land: "This matter is a man's dignity; Mage Sibin himself cannot do it, so he naturally feels inferior, and at the same time he greatly looks forward to being able to possess the mighty power to charge fiercely."

And I have fulfilled his wish.

Naya understood: "He wants you to do what he himself wanted?"

Exactly, he wants me to become the perfect self he imagines. Therefore, he will not only not hate me, but will admire me.

The Legendary 10-souled Naya felt her husband's current state, feeling extremely excited and exalted, as if immersed in a strange dream.

This situation is utterly absurd, but Naya is no ordinary woman; she once served as a Guardian Grand Mage.

Therefore, she knows Luosen is right, and this makes her feelings complex: she feels sympathy for her husband as well as admiration for Luosen.

Your Majesty, your eyes are truly too keen.

Luosen laughed heartily: "If I did not have this pair of giant eyes that perceive the mundane world, how could I govern the myriad people of the world and become the supreme sovereign of the empire?"

To govern over six hundred million mortals and turn their power to one's own use, relying solely on brute force is absolutely impossible.

Naya submitted, also releasing the pressure in her heart, and focused on enjoying.

Luosen felt elated, unleashing the eighteen martial arts, striking Naya Mage so hard she nearly lost her soul and spirit, and also causing the ever-watching Mage Sibin to almost exhaust his essence and blood.

When the storm finally subsided, Luosen walked to the wine cabinet, opened a bottle of Nawate's special amber honey wine, poured himself a cup, and also poured one for Naya.

Mage Naya, I'm going to the garden for a stroll; let your husband come up to help you clean your body.

Naya blushed greatly and snapped, "Your Majesty, you're really a bastard!"

You know he likes it.

Naya knows Luosen is right, so she had nothing to say and thus complied.

Luosen said it and did it, turning and heading to the garden.

But he was not truly indulging a vulgar taste; rather, it was because someone unexpected had contacted him.

He needed to talk alone with that guy.
