Ojarvis was in a hurry to establish relations with Metatrin City, he had accepted ten magic chariots from Saleen . Even though these chariots were replicas their materials were genuine and their sizes were not any smaller than the real ones . Once the sorcerers in Holy Rock City refined the chariots further the magic chariots would be able to unleash their strongest abilities .
Ojarvis also wanted to prepare a valuable present . It had to be at least equal to the ten magic chariots, for Saleen . "Judging by the news Sister delivered, she values this person greatly and their relationship is very intimate . "
Ojarvis wanted to make Lex's strength great, he really did not want to become the emperor . If his sister could ascend the throne he was willing to be an idle prince . From a tender age Ojarvis had been fraught with illnesses, he only survived due to the long-term treatment provided by the palace's sorcerers . If Emperor Chanake did not die in battle Ojarvis might have died before him .
Other emperors might grow attached to authority, but Ojarvis craved life and health .
It was tough being an emperor, one would understand that just by looking at Safilos . Safilos was helping Ojarvis resolve almost eighty percent of affairs . Even so, Ojarvis still felt exhausted and it was not because he did not have enough intelligence, but because his body was frail .
He finally understood why he rarely saw his father . He already felt utterly exhausted managing twenty percent of the empire's affairs . Everything would be fine if the country was in peace, but the Holy See's holy war had erupted right after he ascended the throne . He faced more difficulties being the emperor than his father had .
Ojarvis felt that he was a pathetic character who was forced to stand in the middle of the stage while dying gradually .
"If I was given time to practice magic, I could surely become a sorcerer given the substantial resources of the imperial family . At the very least, I would have a healthy body like a normal human . "
Ojarvis dismissed Barde, then he suddenly coughed violently . In this colossal hall where Ojarvis was alone, the sounds of his coughs echoed endlessly . Sunlight descended from above, accurately landing at the corresponding spots in the hall, causing the surrounding humongous statues to appear like they had come to life . These sacred monarchs throughout the history of Qin surveilled Ojarvis . He coughed until blood was flowing out his nose as he used his yellowed fingers to cover his mouth .
To Ojarvis, coughing was a terrible affair . With a shudder, he rummaged for a bottle of magic medicine . Swallowing a portion of it slowly, he leaned against the chair and looked a little dazed .
After consuming the medicine, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood underneath his nose . This blood had a dim purple hue with a tinge of strange fragrance, some of it stained his fingers .

A tall and slender silhouette appeared beside Ojarvis . This black-robed mage lowered his head and looked at the emperor, then whispered, "Ojarvis, are you taking medicine again? Try not to take too much . "
The mage's voice was insipid, void of feeling . On his long black robe, there were three magic symbols .
"Whether I take it or not, I will still die . As the emperor, I have to help myself live more comfortably . " Ojarvis' voice was even more serene, as though he was narrating someone else's story .
The black-robed mage looked at the emperor, he and his comrades had joined forces to save this young emperor . Magic could not go against the laws of nature though . By nature, Ojarvis' body already had a great defect . It was almost impossible for him to live as long as a normal person .
Ojarvis tossed the handkerchief to the ground as his eyes regained some liveliness . Raising his head, he told the black-robed mage, "I heard that the Holy See has an immortality holy medicine . When every pope ascends the position they consume a serving of it . No matter the person, they can extend their life by one-hundred and twenty years as long as they consume it, is this true?"
"You are the Qin emperor, you cannot believe in the gods . " The mage's answer seemed to have acknowledged this legend .
"Yes, indeed . If I believe in a god, the rage of my people will burn me to death first . Mofeesto, I heard that Saleen has gained one fallen Red Archbishop . Do you think he will have a way to treat my illness?" There were a few hints of anticipation in Ojarvis' voice .
"Whatever a grade-9 holy master can achieve, we can as well . Ojarvis, I don't wish to deceive you," the black-robed mage answered .
Ojarvis laughed, then said, "Oh my, mages are always so boring . It would be great if I could learn magic, then we will be able to communicate normally . "
The black-robed mage called Mofeesto looked at the emperor with some sympathy, "The body of this emperor is so frail that it cannot contain magic chords or the Sword Aura . "

"Mofeesto, I am very envious of Sister, she has so much more freedom than me," Ojarvis said with a pant .
"The viscount doesn't have freedom either . " The mage finally responded with emotion . These few grade-9 sorcerers were very familiar with Lex . Regarding the conflict between Lex and the prince, the mages could not interfere, but it did not mean that they could not have their own opinions .
"Currently, she is a county queen, she can lead a nation and isn't tied up by parliament, how does she not have freedom?"
The black-robed mage did not respond . He simply stood in the darkness, looking at this emperor whose life was salvaged . He was a child who originally could only live to six years old .
"Mofeesto, you may be dismissed, I am fine now . " Ojarvis could not obtain an answer . Waving his hand with much effort, he then leaned against the chair once more .
The imperial capital of Qin was engulfed in rain . Tens of thousands of miles away in the Tanggulasi Empire, Siyuan City was also experiencing a frigid downpour . The emperor of the Tanggulasi Empire was in the palace, anxiously reviewing the documents his subordinates had delivered to him .
Twenty-five-thousand regular troops had been killed in the wilderness of northern Qin and the emperor could not accept such an outcome . Nevertheless, people from the Holy See would have reviewed this information, it could not be false . In the eyes of the Tanggulasi's emperor, all the other soldiers, with the exception of his twenty-five-thousand regular troops, were not human .
Standing beside the emperor was a holy master in a red robe . This holy master was very young, he was at least twenty years younger than the emperor .
"Vinny, can our army conquer Qin?" The emperor appeared to be about forty years old . He had a head of smooth golden hair and was healthy, but his voice sounded decadent .
"Of course, with the guidance of the god, we will be indomitable," the red-robed holy master answered indifferently .
"Nicholas has fallen . I heard that he was a staunch believer . "

"Before the god, everything will be humbled . Nicholas didn't manage to stave off the temptation from the monsters, Nicholas' betrayal will only cause the god to direct his rage on the Myers mainland, burning everything . "
"Vinny, stop lying to me, Theisio killed all of Nicholas' confidantes because of this matter . Tell me . . . has Theisio lost his composure in this manner before?"
"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" The red-robed holy master glanced out the window . The patrolling soldiers outside were all death warriors from the Tanggulasi imperial family, no one could get close to them .
"What can I do? If… if I can visit Sharjah, I might be able to think of something . " A tinge of hesitation appeared on the emperor's face .
"Your Majesty, even though this matter has dealt a blow to Theisio, Sharjah wouldn't take this chance to create trouble . The pope's power is immeasurable, we shouldn't trifle with him . "
"Vinny, you are useless!" The emperor flew into a rage abruptly, smacking the table with much force .
"Your Majesty, I am your son, I only speak the truth," the red-robed holy master answered calmly .
"I cannot take it anymore, Theisio has disseminated a holy decree, asking me to establish a navy to help him invade Metatrin City! How did he manage to find out that I already own a fleet!" The emperor's rage was not unfounded . He had built a fleet with great difficulty, yet Theisio had found out and was asking him to use that fleet to invade a faraway city .
To an ambitious Tanggulasi emperor, the Holy See was an enormous shackle that caused him to experience breathing difficulties . The fleet was a chance to destroy this shackle, but it was going to be deployed to the frontline now . Be that as it may, the emperor was not dumb . Metatrin City's navy was definitely mightier than its army, otherwise Lianyun City and Alchemy City would not have allowed this port city to exist .
"The pope is doing this to destroy my hopes!"
"Your Majesty, Sharjah isn't reliable . If you want to salvage the navy, I can recommend a person to you . "
"Who is it?"
"Fycro!"
"I am not meeting him!" The Tanggulasi emperor threw whatever he could find onto the ground in a moment of rage . "That scumbag, if I see him, I will not be able to stop myself from killing him!"
"Your Majesty, Fycro is the most modest man in this world, why are you angry with him?" the red-robed mage asked in bewilderment .
"Modest? I have never seen a person more arrogant than him!" The emperor's hand was still trembling, even Theisio did not insult him directly to his face . Fycro had done such a thing more than once . Only the emperor knew about this, but he did not dare disclose it to others . "The star of the Glorious Plains, the man who is closest to God, the first oracle… He can kill me without getting permission from the pope . "
"But Your Majesty, if this fleet is sent to Metatrin City, the outcome will not be good . Even if Metatrin City doesn't have a navy, we cannot resist Alchemy City . "
"So what do you suggest?" The emperor was not inflexible . Since he was in a fix he had to look for a breakthrough to loosen this shackle . That way he could achieve his own goals .
"Your Majesty, let's launch a second campaign in the name of the imperial family . That way, the pope will not have a reason to command you . He will instead have to cooperate with you . "
"If we organize a second expeditionary army, it will be winter by the time the army gets there!"
"Isn't that better? Since it will be winter, there will be a reason to guard the moat . Let the army build a city there . According to the law, whenever the empire builds a city, the Holy See will have to establish a church of corresponding size . If Your Majesty deploys a few hundred thousand slaves, Theisio will have to send a sufficient number of pastors too . "
"I get it now!" The emperor clapped his hands as he laughed boisterously, "My son is indeed cunning . "
