He had light blue hair, and he looked quite muscular for a Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shang looked at him for a bit, he could tell that the man really looked quite similar to Jerald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're Jerald's son?\" Shang asked, almost unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I am Prince George. I'm asking again, why do you wish to talk to my father?\" Prince George answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Prince George?\" Shang repeated with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was more than obvious whom Jerald named his son after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's not a Prince Shang, is there?\" Shang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop with these irrelevant questions!\" Prince George shouted with authority. \"You have been found flying above a no-flying Zone. That I am not already asking for your arrest is already a kindness on my part. I don't want to retract that kindness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, Shang might shoot back with a passive-aggressive comment, but he was still perplexed that he was talking with Jerald's son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I wanted this to be a surprise,\" Shang said as he took out a Communication Crystal. \"But seems like I have to contact him the boring way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Shang contacted Jerald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald didn't accept the request from his Communication Crystal for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald had been talking with Sylvia while resting inside the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was until his Communication Crystal rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald took it out with practiced ease and felt the aura from the person that wanted to contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't recognize that aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it felt familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had felt that aura before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But where?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after two seconds, Jerald still couldn't tell whom that aura belonged to, and he decided to pick up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Jerald?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, Jerald's eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized that voice in an instant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Distant memories flooded his mind as the civil war from long ago reappeared inside his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Jerald's expression transformed to concern and a bit of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the side, Sylvia realized that something wasn't quite right with Jerald. His aura had suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on, honey?\" Sylvia asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald didn't immediately answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello?\" Shang repeated after Jerald didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Shang?\" Jerald answered awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, hi, George the Second isn't letting me into the Skythunder Zone,\" Shang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Skythunder Zone?\" Jerald repeated in confusion. \"Oh, the Storm Zone! Right, give me a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the connection was cut, and Shang only looked at his Communication Crystal with furrowed brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that's enough!\" Prince George shouted. This person had ignored him all this time after he was kind enough not to arrest him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Communication Crystal will ring soon,\" Shang only answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, his Communication Crystal rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George was quite surprised that Shang's prediction had come true, and when he felt the aura coming from his Communication Crystal, his eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father?\" Prince George asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang watched as Prince George remained silent for several seconds, probably listening to Jerald.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Prince George put away his Communication Crystal, he looked at Shang with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're Advisor Sword?\" he asked in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Last I remember, I was Duke Sword,\" Shang answered. \"I guess my title changed during my absence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George looked at Shang with a complex expression for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, father and mother told us a lot about you,\" Prince George said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Us?\" Shang asked. \"I guess Jerald has more than one child right now. Who's your mother? Is it Sylvia?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our mother is Sylvia Eternalfrost, yes,\" Prince George said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang looked towards the Storm Zone for a bit. \"Huh, she actually did it,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Advisor Sword, I-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call me Shang,\" Shang interrupted. \"I don't like titles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Shang,\" Prince George said. \"I just wanted to say that I am really thankful for your contributions in the civil war back then. Without you, I probably wouldn't exist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, this is Advisor Sword?\" one of the other people said from beside Prince George.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had only come to the realization now. After all, Shang was basically a legend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, this is Advisor Sword,\" Prince George said with a nod. \"Father just confirmed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others almost couldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang wasn't sure how he should answer these impressed gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing to thank for,\" Shang told Prince George. \"I fought the Mages also for my own freedom. Additionally, Jerald is the closest and probably only friend I have. It's only natural for me to help out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, when Prince George heard that, his expression became even more complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll deactivate the Magic Barrier,\" Prince George said as he turned to the barrier. \"Please, give me a second.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Prince George was opening the Magic Barrier, Shang only looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long have I been training in isolation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George looked at Shang, still with this weirdly complex expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like there was something that worried him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you go into isolation?\" Prince George asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About three months after the civil war ended.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George stopped for a second and turned to Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been in isolation for that long?\" he asked in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang nodded. \"I've been fully focused on my training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was difficult for Prince George to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone train for that long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was born about eight years after the civil war ended,\" Prince George said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I've just turned 67 this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's right eye widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"75 years?\" Shang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prince George nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've been in isolation for 75 years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang only looked forward for a while with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That means I'm 160 years old or so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recreating my Mana pathway framework took that long?\" Shang spoke to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had expected that he would have been in isolation for 30, maximum 40 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have never expected to have been in isolation for 75 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder so many things had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Shang had left, Jerald's shift had just started.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, it was nearly over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1044,"2026-06-06T04:07:15.357Z",1,"novelbin.me","365fabcb26efd4467752e9cd418c78480d2d8e498c4b289428da8c10fbdf9a3e","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-546","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-544",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
