"What?"
"The Meteor Shower the evening before last was one person's magic, not a natural phenomenon."
"What!"
The two exclamations showed just how much the Old Emperor's mood had changed.
The first "what" had been a casual question from the Old Emperor.
What could possibly matter more to him than the appearance of two Title Holders?
Title Holders were rare to begin with.
For two of them to appear in the Empire was Heaven's recognition of the Empire.
It was an auspicious sign, a blessing.
Nothing could be more welcome to the Old Emperor right now.
He had spent his whole life as emperor, working all three hundred and sixty-five days of every year without a break. In the end, wasn't all he wanted recognition from someone?
Well, now he had it.
Two "God's Envoys" had arrived all at once.
Wasn't that the greatest recognition Heaven could give him for a lifetime as emperor?
Of course,
if Heaven could give him a title directly, that would be even more perfect.
But he knew that although titles followed certain patterns,
they weren't something anyone could obtain just by doing the same things.
Otherwise, they would be worthless.
Who could have guessed that Nikola would say something so astonishing?
He had stunned the Old Emperor into silence right from the start.
"The Meteor Shower was magic? Lord Nikola, you've grown up. You know how to tell jokes now."
The Old Emperor laughed after recovering his composure.
After all, nothing like this had ever happened before.
He couldn't understand something he'd never seen.
"It's no joke..."
Nikola shook his head.
"From what I saw, the other person—no, both of them—had Magic Power at least on the level of an Orichalcum-ranked Archmage."
"Like Mentor Mela, and they might even have surpassed her."
What!?
Mentor
