The Submission of Southern Europe's Magical Societies (cont.)
The leaders of the Southern Europe Magic Society discussed among themselves, and after the flames on the island dissipated, they came to pay their respects to Ming Ge.
Defeating Salvatore Tony and letting them witness firsthand the terrifying destructive power of a Campione! would also serve as a deterrent.
"Welcome the new king!"
The seven leaders of the magic societies knelt on the ground and swore their loyalty to Ming Ge.
This is also different from Salvatore Tony, who, although revered as the leader of the Southern Europe magic societies, did not receive a formal oath of allegiance from them.
This is also due to Salvatore's personality; he has no interest in magic societies.
The idea that the Grand Masters of the Magic Society in the original work would arrange for him to be tested is utterly ridiculous. Don't they know the personality and destructive power of Campione!?
It's clearly the behavior of a domestic pig bullying a chicken.
In this world Campione! is the greatest, without exception.
Aside from those fools in Japan who rely on disobedient gods for support, no one dares to play tricks on Campione!.
To put it another way, that would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
Get up.
Ming Ge nodded and looked at the other person besides the seven chief commanders of the magic society.
"This child is Liliana Kranichal, a prodigy of our Bronze Black Cross, with a reputation equal to that of Erica Brantri."
An elderly woman introduced her prized student, saying, "This child is very capable; I think... she will become one of your greatest assets."
"Liliana Kranichal, I pledge my loyalty to you. "Liliana drew her sword, raised her hands, and knelt on one knee to swear her knighthood.
As a child prodigy in Milan, she received the best education, including moral education, and therefore, once she took the oath, she would forever dedicate herself to Ming Ge.
Even if the master's and knight's morals clash, the knight will grit his teeth and uphold his master's orders, which is the type Ming Ge likes.
I accept your loyalty.
Ming Ge accepted Liliana's allegiance according to the local ceremony, and the old woman could be clearly seen to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although both Erica and Liliana are child prodigies in Italy, Erica is the niece of the Grand Marshal of the Copper Black Cross, while Liliana is only the apprentice of the Grand Marshal of the Bronze Black Cross, so Erica's status is still a notch lower.
Offering two child prodigy-level girls as close attendants could influence this 'superior's' decisions to some extent, preventing greater losses to the local area.
"Besides that, it seems you have other gifts for me?"
Ming Ge smiled.
"As expected of a king, your wisdom is truly admirable."
Paul Brantley spoke respectfully, taking out a stone.
The yellowish-brown stone is engraved with Medusa's serpent head, which looks extremely ferocious.
"This is the latest unearthed artifact, the Gorgon's Stone."
Paul said, "Because it exudes divine power, it might attract disobedient gods, so we have decided to offer it up, hoping that the king will have mercy and not start a war in the city."
Although Paul had experience fighting the Black Prince, it was clearly just for fun. After all, the Black Prince considered himself "the smartest among the Campione!" and wouldn't get angry over something like that.
But Campione! truly unleashes his fury, the destructive power he can unleash is undoubtedly terrifying.
Judging from Ming Ge's fighting scenes, it's clear that if he were truly angry, the entire Italy could be wiped out.
Furthermore, since he's now my direct supervisor, it's impossible for me not to respect him.
"Erica should have told you that I can create battlefields for divine wars, so your doubts are not a problem."
Ming Ge nodded and said, "Besides, Southern Europe is already my territory, so naturally I won't let you lose it easily."
Ming Ge took the Gorgon's Stone and tossed it in his hand. He could feel a seal on it blocking the divine power fluctuations of Gorgon.
Instead of immediately breaking the seal, Ming Ge took out a thick stack of documents from the Starry World and handed them to Paul.
"Deploying this spell throughout Southern Europe is my first task for you. Don't let me down."
Ming Ge smiled.
"King..."
Paul stared at the enormous spell, momentarily stunned.
"What is this technique...?"
Paul asked tentatively.
"Don't worry, it won't affect Southern Europe."
Ming Ge said meaningfully, "But if I fail to set it up, I'll have to use my powers to forcibly control the ley lines throughout Southern Europe. I won't care what happens then~"
His extremely capricious words left everyone somewhat helpless.
They should have gotten used to it by now; one really shouldn't have any expectations of Campione!...
With this in mind, everyone made a pledge.
"We will use all our strength and resources to complete this mission, even at the cost of our lives."
Seeing that they had seriously agreed, Ming Ge nodded slightly.
"Since I've given you this task, I'll naturally pay you... Perhaps it will be much easier to obtain it in six months, but right now it's a one-of-a-kind opportunity."
Ming Ge snapped his fingers, forming several magical incantations that entered the backs of everyone present.
"Falna, this is a system from another world that can greatly increase your potential. At its peak, it can probably achieve a physical body at the level of Campione!, and possess 1 to 3 primal magic spells."
"In addition, Falna can elevate a person's essential life force; with a higher level, living hundreds of years longer is not a problem."
Magical spells are nothing special; the real core lies in divine blood and divine power.
In this respect Ming Ge uses the power of the 'youth' incarnation to replace it, and the power of the ten incarnations is quite versatile.
Without any restrictions on its use or activation conditions, it can develop many interesting abilities.
The boy doesn't necessarily have to kiss to achieve this. In the original story, Verethragna used this ability to force Erica to kneel down, which ultimately caused her to break her leg while trying to support herself.
The reason for using kissing to achieve this is actually... perhaps it's because the chicken itself has that kind of inclination.
After all, Verethragna bestows protection upon humans in mythology; they can't just kiss every single person they meet, can they?
