Chapter 205 A Self-Abusive Method of Strengthening
Is Wang Ting going to get involved in college affairs?
Hammond looked at Kane with a thoughtful expression and said, "You can divine this?"
Kane said, "I'm only somewhat confident."
"The academy had always maintained a detached position, independent of the royal court in all matters. But the attack on the academy gave the royal court a pretext to intervene."
"9
"My intelligence indicates that the Council of Nobles is currently constrained and has not yet clashed with Grayson."
"If the royal family realizes this, it would be perfectly reasonable to find a suitable opportunity to have the controlled King Susas appear at just the right moment, and then find a reason to interfere with the academy."
Hammond looked up, gazing intently at Kane, and said, "Mage Kane, your political acumen surprises me, but this isn't divination, is it?"
Kane said, "But this is just one direction, after all, just one possibility. The remaining problems can be solved by divination."
"Could I borrow paper and a pen?"
Hammond clapped his hands, and soon someone brought him paper and pen.
Kane nodded and wrote down the known clues he had just gathered.
Then he looked at Hammond and asked, "Do you have any tokens from that King Sussus?"
Hammond pondered for a moment, then took a short staff and a badge, placed them on the table, and said, "This short staff was a gift from the royal family; and this ancient tree badge is the royal emblem of Sussus."
Kane nodded, placed his short staff on the table, and then held up the dice: "The clues, the token, the clarity are all sufficient."
The clues were naturally what he had just mentioned.
The mage's staff and royal crest in the tokens could represent the royal family and the mage academy; as for clarity—
After a moment's thought, Kane briefly explained his divination principles to Hammond, and finally revealed the content of his prophecy: "Did King Sussas appear before everyone?"
The dice were rolled, and the results were 4, 5, and 6 three times.
It worked on the first try.
Kane's eyes flickered slightly. Sure enough, after the level increased, the difficulty of divination and prophecy decreased significantly. In addition, with the support of tokens and clues, the success rate also increased a lot.
Hammond frowned deeply.
Kane ignored him and went on to state his plans for the next position, asking, "Will there be any outside interference in the vacancies for the three deans?"
The dice were rolled again, and the results were 5, 5, and 4.
Hammond gave Kane a deep look.
Kane put away the dice, pretended to rub his eyes and brows, and acted as if he was a little tired.
Although the spiritual energy consumed by taking over can be recovered using his immortality, he didn't need to let Hammond know that.
Kane rubbed his temples, then looked at Hammond and said, "Dean Hammond, don't you suspect I'm a fraud?"
Hammond looked at Kane, shook his head, and said, "Your method of taking control was indeed very simple; I didn't even sense any fluctuations in the aether—"
Ultimately, however, whether divination is effective depends on whether the final prediction comes true.
I will decide whether to support your election as head of the Prophecy Chamber based on whether the prophecy comes true.
Kane smiled slightly and said, "Of course. If there's nothing else, please excuse me for leaving now."
Hammond nodded, and Kane smiled and turned to leave.
As he left, his gaze subtly drifted to the curtains on the other side, and he nodded slightly before pushing open the door and leaving.
After Kane left, a handsome young half-elf quietly appeared.
"My invisibility has been discovered."
The handsome young man in the red robe frowned as he spoke.
Hammond chuckled and said, "Simon Norman, my disciple, how could Mage Kane, who captured Bella single-handedly, not see through your shallow invisibility technique?"
Simon Norman frowned and said, "But you also said that before this, Dean Bone had already made a move, and there were several other second-tier mages present—"
"So you think he was just lucky?"
Hammond shook his head and said.
"Believe me, if that were really all there was to it, Flint wouldn't be treating him with such care."
He changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that for now. Did your brother Dylan go to the Council of Nobles today? Did he bring back any new information?"
""
Simon Norman's expression turned strange, and he took a letter out of his pocket.
Hammond frowned as he took the letter, opened it, and read it. His expression also turned serious.
The letter read: "The motion by the Council of Nobles to intervene in the internal affairs of the Royal Family has failed —"
King Susas attended the noble council, and His Highness Grayson spoke, participating in the election for the three vacant positions of headmaster of the Mage Academy.
Upon seeing this intelligence, Hammond's expression shifted between light and dark, indicating that Kane's previous attacks had all hit their mark.
Simon Norman frowned and said, "Does he have some special intelligence source?"
Hammond shook his head: "After news of the attack on the academy came, the academy was surrounded by various forces, including the military, making it difficult for him to obtain intelligence without going through these forces."
Besides, this is the latest meeting resolution.
Simon Norman frowned again and said, "So, teacher, you're going to vote for him to become the head of the Prophecy Sector?"
A second-tier Nord?
Hammond shook his head, neither confirming nor denying.
He paused for a moment and said, "I believe that Mage Kane has little motive to deceive me."
Moreover, rather than having the royal court directly appoint a mage of unknown background as the branch dean, I would rather have someone I know well serve as the dean, even if he is a Nord.
"As for those two royal third-tier mages—and the war mage that the noble council is planning to invite—"
Hammond's eyes turned cold.
Simon Norman was speechless.
His gaze unconsciously drifted to the window; beneath the mage tower, Kane's figure had already disappeared into the distance.
Back at Logan's residence, the maid opened the door, and Kane went in, nodding in acknowledgment.
Since the mission incident, security has been heightened both inside and outside the college.
In addition to the densely packed soldiers guarding the academy, there were also many more mages on duty in the mage towers of the various divisions and on the main roads inside the academy, vigilantly watching everyone who came and went.
Therefore, to avoid suspicion, he has been staying with Logan Susas for the time being.
Back in the hall, Logan Susas was engrossed in reading.
On the coffee table in front of her, a stiff, dead rat was spinning around in circles, trying to bite its own tail.
When Kane arrived, she put down her book, but the mouse continued its movements.
Noticing Kane's questioning gaze, she said coolly:
-
"The necromancer's abilities depend on manipulating corpse servants. The more corpse servants a necromancer can manipulate, and the more powerful those corpse servants are, the more powerful the necromancer usually is."
Of course, the level of precision in manipulating the corpse servants is also very important.
She looked at Kane and asked, "Have you met Dean Hammond?"
"You found out?"
Kane raised an eyebrow, surprised that the news had spread so quickly.
Logan Susas said, "After a meeting of the Academy, it was decided that, in order to avoid a recurrence of attacks like those suffered by Dean Irwin and Dean Flint."
Now, each dean is accompanied by the academy's best on-duty monk as a guard.
And report the situation to others using communication techniques to prevent any accidents.
"So that's how it is," Kane thought, recalling the invisible figure he had spotted next to Hammond.
After a moment's thought, Kane told her about his conversation with Hammond.
Logan Susas frowned.
"If Wang Ting dares to interfere with the selection of the three deans of the academy, they will be breaking the tacit understanding between the two sides."
1
Kane shook his head and said, "The tacit understanding was broken because the academy tried to interfere in the affairs of the royal court first, and the attack on the academy also gave them a reason to interfere."
However, I am currently only assessing the situation through predictions and observations; my partners are still gathering information.
If possible, I would appreciate it if you could lend me some resources to help me investigate those who are vying for the position of dean of the academy.
Logan Susas stared at Kane and said in a cold voice, "I don't have any connections."
"I know," Kane said with a smile.
Logan Susas lowered his head again, looking at his book, and said casually, "But I know about this."
Stubborn.
Kane thought to himself, but he didn't argue; there was no need to argue with a woman.
He simply took a plate of cakes and left the hall, heading straight for the private spell training room.
Watching his retreating figure, Logan gritted his teeth and looked down at the spinning corpse of the rat.
A thought suddenly occurred to me.
Inside the spell training room, Kane tapped on the table.
Although Logan Susas is a relative of the royal family and has no legal right to inherit the throne, she does possess royal blood and is therefore easily targeted by many with ulterior motives.
Therefore, to avoid disputes, she even smeared her identity to study necromancy after entering the academy.
This kind of magic, which is most taboo among ordinary people, has reduced a lot of outside attention to it to some extent.
But it seems that asking her to help with the investigation crossed a line.
Kane sighed inwardly, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.
If a subsequent crisis really occurs, this little thing will be meaningless.
He pondered for a moment, then took out a letter and began to write: "Dear Mistress, hello—I haven't received any proceeds from the sale of Dark Water for a long time—"
Alright—
If possible, I hope you can come to the Susas Royal Court. I have important matters to discuss with you.
As Zeya's older brother.
After Kane finished writing the letter, he carefully put it in an envelope.
Letters sent from Sussas to Nord could only be delivered by special messengers.
The vacancy of the three deans of the academy has made various forces eager to make their moves.
In that case, inviting Ms. Weaver would be perfect.
Her strength was just at the third tier, and she wasn't a Nord, so it couldn't be more suitable.
He vaguely remembered that even among third-tier mages, the other party possessed quite a few trump cards.
Of course, most importantly, a third-tier mage who is willing to die to protect civilians would certainly not betray others like Bella, who would do so for the sake of power.
"Next, we should consider further strengthening our capabilities."
Kane's eyes flickered slightly.
"After all, even if I wanted to be elected head of the Prophecy Division, and Flint, Hammond, Drybones and others would support me, there would still be many people eyeing this position."
"As long as I prove with my abilities that I'm no weaker than a third-tier cultivator, there will be far fewer doubts."
Kane looked at the spellbook on the table; it was a new spellbook he had acquired.
Electric claw.
He closed his eyes and began to recall some information he had heard in his previous life:
Long-term stimulation of the body with mild electric shocks can help improve muscles and physical condition.
After a moment's thought, he took out the obsidian dagger and used an engraving ritual to engrave the electric claw technique onto the inside of his wrist.
The immortality trait activates immediately, and the wounds quickly scab over and heal.
Soon, the spell model for the electric claw appeared on his body, and even the panel showed [Electric Claw (Temporary)].
The words.
"Let's give it a try next."
Kane didn't hesitate; a thought crossed his mind.
A shimmering ball of electricity appeared in the palm of the right hand where the spell model was attached, but this ball of electricity was extremely small.
"The power is very small. Even if it directly hits a first-level professional, it will probably only numb his body for a while."
Kane murmured.
"But for me right now, it's just right."
He then pressed the electric ball against his bare chest.
Near my heart, I immediately felt a tingling sensation mixed with slight pain.
Kane frowned slightly; this pain was nothing to him, and the panel had already begun to display a notification that he had been attacked.
He didn't speak, but simply closed his eyes and quietly felt it.
As time went on, the damage caused by the electric ball on his chest continued to accumulate, gradually bringing a burning sensation and filling the air with the smell of burning.
Kane suppressed his discomfort, his brow furrowed, and continued to wait.
But after a long time, he still didn't feel any changes, and there were no attribute changes on the panel.
"Am I wrong? Am I just torturing myself?"
He hesitated for a moment, not rashly using his immortality to recover.
Once it's used, it might mean all previous efforts have been wasted.
"Let's try again. If the electric shock stimulation still has no effect after these two days, then we'll abandon this experiment."
This proves my hypothesis was wrong; physical fitness cannot be enhanced through electric shocks.
Time passed slowly, and a day and a night went by.
Outside the door, Logan Susas frowned at the cold plates on the floor, then looked at the new plates the maid was carrying, and asked, "Didn't he eat?"
The maid shook her head and said, "Lord Kane hasn't eaten for two meals. He just said to leave the tray outside the door."
Logan Susas frowned, his expression growing increasingly grave as he caught a faint smell of burning in the air.
She thought for a moment and said, "Give me the food, and I'll take it in."
The maid naturally dared not disobey, and after handing over the food, she left.
Logan Susas, holding a tray, knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Kane, I know you're worried about the future changes at the academy, but you're only a second-tier mage, so don't be too impatient."
The study of magic is not something that can be effective in a short time; don't harm your health for such a small thing.
There was still no response from inside the door.
She frowned and said, "I'm coming in."
She pushed open the door and saw Kane sitting cross-legged on the floor.
He was shirtless, his body covered in dense, incantation-like markings.
Logan smelled a strong burning odor in the air.
As a necromancer, she knew very well that this was the smell produced by the Evocation spell striking a human body.
But there was no one else in front of him except Kane.
Kane lay on the ground, looking somewhat tired, but with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Logan Susas was puzzled, even wondering if the external pressure was too great, driving this formidable enemy she considered to be insane to the point of self-harm.
Kane looked at Logan, who was carrying a tray, and smiled slightly. "I've just become stronger."
