Cough, cough!

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Cervantes Kingdom is an old nation passed down for over two hundred years. When such a kingdom is willing to "approach with billions," they still have their foundations and standing.

Especially when Ganis declared, "His Majesty greatly admires your Master, Tesla, and is willing to offer the kingdom's treasury for Tesla to use as he wishes, in exchange for Tesla's protection," Downs was shocked, but then thought it was only natural.

Hmph! Don't you people look at who my Master is?

He's the man who once punched evil gods, kicked demons, and brought down divine kingdoms!

Downs proudly straightened his back, "To be honest, Master might not even care about your treasures. But if you show enough sincerity, I'm sure Master will approve."

"Oh, this, of course..." Ganis replied sheepishly.

Downs spoke with a bit of arrogance, but who could blame him? He had a good Master, a legendary figure who might even represent the great cause of magical revival.

This was the tragedy of small countries like Cervantes, unable to afford a Legendary Archmage, and with few bargaining chips.

Even if they offered all their treasures, the other party might still look down on them.

It was like a rural farmer offering treasures to a wealthy magnate, only to present local specialties – a truly awkward situation.

Yet, they had to put on a good show.

Ganis's mouth was filled with bitterness. He could only swallow his pride and continue inquiring about the great mage Tesla.

He didn't know that a certain legendary great mage had finally managed to escape the other party's entanglement.

"Damn it! I almost fell into the 'multicolored black'!"

Lein not only struck the opponent's dungeon with lightning but also abducted some dark elf warriors and threw them into Cervantes Royal City. This naturally angered the dark-skinned opponent named Xiangbala.

"You! Actually! Ignored my beauty--" The sharp voice, like glass scraping, coupled with the extremely high pitch, made Lein clearly feel the other party's immense rage.

But let alone the fact that Lein transmigrated at a time when the "simp economy had collapsed." Even if he hadn't, he genuinely wasn't attracted to that half-human, half-spider dark-skinned creature!

Please forgive my XP System for not being compatible!

That's right! The drow priestess appeared human, but her lower body was that of a spider.

This kind of "following the light into the deep sea only to encounter an anglerfish" scenario, Lein had seen plenty of.

It was just the dungeon version of "organ harvesting," wasn't it?

And just as the other party attempted to counterattack, the big moment arrived.

In the spider priestess's eyes, this detestable mage was completely toying with her.

As she frantically channeled dark magic to trace back, she could clearly feel the spatial portal emitting a low hum. The priestess dared not take her perception off the portal, as the other party's spatial coordinates gave her a sense of instability.

The light flowing through the magical patterns of the portal pointed east and west erratically. The priestess finally concentrated all her magic on one point, but as soon as the magic seeped into the portal, it immediately formed an extremely abrupt black nebula.

She realized her magic was incompatible with the other party's arcane energy.

A tremendous suction force was pulling her, and even the power bestowed by "that" deity, into it.

"A childish trick!" the priestess spat disdainfully.

This was a typical mistake made by spatial magic beginners. When they lose control of spatial power, they instinctively draw the opponent's power into what they believe to be a spacetime turbulence.

However, although Chaos World is vast, prolonged exploration has allowed experienced spatial powerhouses to map out most of the dangerous regions.

Just as the half-spider priestess was about to sneer at the opponent's clumsiness, she was shocked to find her perception severely distorted.

"Am I not in the temple?"

The astonished priestess found herself in a narrow corridor. Cold sweat poured down her face. She couldn't imagine her soul being pulled out of what she considered the most impregnable fortress and thrown into this world.

Stopping was not an option. The faint light emanating from the gap of the archway in the distance ahead attracted the priestess's gaze.

She couldn't help but move forward...

Gently pushing open the bronze door, a vast space suddenly appeared before her. It was a spherical hall. Like the 12 on a clock face, there were 12 identical archways.

However, from within each archway, an aura she was familiar with emanated, forming a mist that surged forward and began to entwine around her.

Her gaze suddenly turned extremely venomous, and from her thin lips, a name was uttered:

"Devil!"

This dark elf priestess had no idea what she had just seen.

In fact, even Lein, the instigator, didn't know what he had done.

Even after the System repeated it, Lein still didn't quite understand.

[Detected impure thoughts invading the campus. To prevent the 369-year-old hag from seducing innocent young men, the virtual dean of students, System, has been activated!]

[Matching opponent for the intruder...]

[Match successful.]

[The (High-level Illusion) magic of student Downs * Quijote has been officially upgraded to (True Illusion)!]

[Lisanthius * Xiangbala must either pass a Willpower check with a difficulty of 20 or meticulously study (Junior High Ideological and Political Education) and score over 95 in the assessment to escape the illusion.]

Seeing this, Lein bared his teeth and mourned for the old hag who dared to invade his mind for a second, squeezing out a crocodile tear from the corner of his eye.

This... after being educated by Iron Fist, could the chaotic evil Dark Elf priestess turn into lawful good?

Lein suddenly felt a little expectant.

Uh, isn't one of the things men love to do most trying to persuade XX to turn over a new leaf?

Here, after Lein escaped the priestess's mental invasion and dealt with the Dark Elves invading Cervantes Royal City using the Tesla Tower along the way, he felt a little guilty.

He had acted impulsively and caused trouble for them, and he felt a little bad about it.

Unexpectedly, he immediately sensed Downs, who had just left the tower, running back happily.

"Master! The King of Cervantes has sent an envoy, willing to appoint you as Imperial Tutor and hopes you can help guard the royal city with the Madela Mage Tower. In return, His Majesty the King is willing to open the royal treasury, and you can choose anything inside..." Downs excitedly chattered, relaying the message from Ganis.

Downs was genuinely excited.

Once upon a time, he had fantasized about how great legendary masters were.

One day, when he actually met one, under his Master's guidance, he grew stronger step by step, and witnessed his Master's legends come true again.

Master is too strong, too great!

So it turns out there are Kings who would not hesitate to give up their country's treasures accumulated over hundreds of years, just to gain a single favor from Master.
