During the ceremony, Abotanic handed him the wooden staff in his hand, which looked like an ordinary wooden stick but actually represented the authority of the Witch King's Tower. On the surface, this thing looked like a casually chopped wooden stick, but in essence it was a top-level magic weapon representing the identity of the Witch King.
The succession ceremony lasted for a full half month, during which he met with the leaders or representatives of the various forces in the ancient contract one by one.
Whether they recognized it or not, the fact that he became the Witch King was already an established fact. Whether they were willing to admit it or not, they had to show him that they were obeying the ancient covenant and accept any formal orders from him.
Most forces only recognized him according to the ancient contract, but there were also some forces that were optimistic about him and were willing to have closer contact with him. For example,
before the ceremony was over, more than a dozen forces urgently sent a group of stunning beauties over, claiming to be his attendants, and there were quite a few dawn wizards among them.
Lin Xiao accepted all of them, not because he really wanted these beauties, but because these were the forces willing to be close to him, and it was difficult to refuse them now.
Although he doesn't attach much importance to power, it cannot be said that he does not have obedient subordinates. After all, in the future he will take the initiative to push various forces to conquer other worlds, and many things will be difficult to do without some obedient subordinates.
After the ceremony, all the forces left one by one, and the old Witch King will live in seclusion in the Witch King Tower until the end of his life.
According to his own estimation, Abotanic only has a hundred years or so left to live, which means he could die at any time for a seventh-level wizard with a lifespan of more than 100,000 years.
As for the Emerald Queen Tishaer, she also left after the ceremony. However, when she left, she told him that according to the ancient agreement, he would need to go to the Emerald Dream in a dozen years to resolve something.
Originally, this was the old Witch King's task, and he needed to go to the Emerald Dream every thousand years, but this time he had happened to have inherited the throne of the Witch King, so this task naturally fell on him.
Neither the Old Witch King nor the Emerald Queen said what they were going to do specifically, only that they would know when the time came. The Old Witch King also told him that this would be a good thing for him.
Having said that, Lin Xiao didn't rush to urge him. He would know the answer when the time came.
In the following days, he returned to his original state, spending every day in the library reading various books, transforming the knowledge into his own power. He had no time to care about anything else, not even the Underworld Council.
The three leaders of the True Underworld Council had seen through his identity before, so how could he not know their identities as the sons of the Spirit Realm? It was just that he didn't have the right reason or method to deal with them now.
But there is still a long time, and there will always be an opportunity. Now I should first digest the vast amount of knowledge collected in the Witch King Tower.
Time passed day by day, and before he knew it, several years had passed, and he had only read about one-tenth of the books in the Witch King Tower.
This is because he has a photographic memory and was able to quickly scan it. If he looked at it normally, he might not be able to see even one percent of it.
After reading so many books, most of which were about the knowledge of witchcraft models at all levels, Lin Xiao's accumulation in this area had reached the limit. In the Tower of Truth in the Divine Realm, he had accumulated hundreds of thousands of books on the subject, and hundreds of thousands of star spirits had accepted divine revelations and began to study this knowledge.
They don't understand the wizard system, but they can use the mage and arcanist system to analyze witchcraft and try to combine the advantages of different systems.
Although the wizard system is powerful, it is too difficult to be promoted to a formal wizard.
The Mage and Arcanist are known for the difficulty of getting a job. The Wizard system is not only as difficult as the Arcanist, but also quite dangerous.
It is difficult to get a job as an arcanist, but at least failure will not cause any serious problems. Once a formal wizard fails to be promoted, he will directly lose a lot of life and damage his body. Some old wizard apprentices will die directly after a failure. The difficulty is too high and it is not suitable for the small number of Protoss. It has to be changed.
He planned to wait for the entire Protoss clan to try and accumulate more experience, and then feed this experience back to him through the Tower of Truth, and then conduct a deeper analysis through the Cube of Creation, and finally integrate all the advantages to derive a new profession that combines the advantages of the wizard system with other systems.
The most important thing is the extremely high upper limit of the wizard system, which allows him to reach the eighth-level peak wizard with super divine power in one step. This is what he wants most. Otherwise, the mage and arcane wizard professions are not weak, and their combat power is not weaker than that of wizards of the same level, but their upper limit is far lower than that of wizards.
After you finish reading most of the books related to the profession of wizard, you don't need to spend every day in the library. You can slowly read the remaining books when you have time, freeing up time to do other things.
For example, traveling around the wizarding world and learning about the situations of various races around the world.
By the way, take stock of your own property and look at your own assets.
As the owner of the Witch King's Tower, the property under his name is not only the Witch King's Tower, but also everything within the area of more than 100,000 square kilometers including the Witch King's Tower.
Well, there is nothing within the area of more than 100,000 square kilometers around the Witch King's Tower, only a plain with extremely rich energy particles, forests, lakes, rivers, and the scenery is beautiful, but there are no people and it has not been developed.
The Witch King's Tower does not need to make any money to maintain the tower. Instead, it is supported by the forces of the ancient contract, and logically there should be a powerful Witch King's Guard. However, the previous Witch King Abotanic has not continued to replenish the Witch King's Guard since the Nth member of the Witch King's Guard died of old age tens of thousands of years ago. All subsequent members died one by one, until now there are only twenty or so left alive, and they are continuing to serve in the Witch King's Tower.
In the wizarding world, a seventh-level wizard has a lifespan of over a hundred thousand years, while the lifespan of a sixth-level wizard is not tens of thousands of years, but no more than ten thousand years. No matter what race, even a long-lived race, if they do not advance to the seventh level, they cannot live past ten thousand years.
And these dozens of former Witch King's guards who have lived for tens of thousands of years are definitely not seventh-level powerhouses. The reason they can live for tens of thousands of years is that they have used special witchcraft to change the essence of their own lives to survive until now.
Lin Xiaote asked the old Witch King and learned that this special witchcraft could not be popularized and the success rate was extremely low. At the beginning, there were hundreds of members in the Guards Corps who were qualified to perform this witchcraft, but only about twenty of them succeeded, with a success rate of less than one in ten.
He inherited the Witch King Tower and all of these former sixth-rank members of the Guards Corps. As long as he wanted, he could use them as the foundation to quickly rebuild a Guards Corps.
Lin Xiao thought about it and decided that if he wanted to deal with the elves from the True Underworld Council, he would need at least an army to help.
Although their top-level strength crushes the True Underworld Council, which has only three sixth-level leaders, they have more than ten-digit regular expeditionary corps under their command, and it will be troublesome to fight them without subordinates.
Besides, they can still shake hands.
"Wait!"
Lin Xiao frowned suddenly, feeling that he had overlooked something.
His previous thought was that the True Underworld Council would abide by the rules. What if they didn't abide by the rules and transferred experts from other powerful worlds? Wouldn't that mean GG?
This is entirely possible. If one is smart enough to not follow the rules and invite experts from other worlds, then wouldn't he just kneel down? He wouldn't even be able to run away.
"Maybe I should prepare early!"
Looking back, he felt that rebuilding the Witch King's Guard was not a bad thing.
Anyway, there is no need for him to prepare and establish it personally. The people inherited from the old Witch King are all veterans with experience, and they can do a good job.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao, in the name of the Wizard King, issued a formal notice to all the forces of the Ancient Contract, asking them to select a group of wizards above level 2 as soldiers of the Guards Corps.
Coincidentally, not long after he issued this notice to all forces, the three main leaders of the Zhenming Council discussed matters concerning him through the Zhenming Treasure Mirror.
The three leaders of the True Underworld Council in this world are Martha representing the Qingcang School, Jacob representing the Garon School, and Eugene representing the Gesir School. Julian's wife is Martha, who represents the Qingcang School and is a sixth-level strongman.
When Lin Xiao's notice was given, the already sensitive inhabitants of the Spirit Realm immediately concluded that this was Lin Xiao's preparation to eliminate them, and began to have secret talks through the True Nether Mirror.
Compared to Julian's magic mirror which only had ordinary communication functions at that time, the magic mirrors of the three masters could project their consciousness into a safe and independent space.
Jacob, who represented the Garlon School, was a muscular man who looked extremely strong. He stated directly,
"I have decided to apply to my superiors to request that strong men from other worlds be transferred to kill this human descendant."
Eugene, who represented the Gesier School, was an old scholar wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He raised his glasses and said:
"From the perspective of the parliament being responsible for all members of this world, I agree with Jacob's proposal. However, if we ask for help directly from our superiors, it means that we are not capable enough, which will affect our superiors' evaluation of us. Someone needs to be held accountable for this."
He looked across and saw Jacob frowning and saying,
"You want me to be responsible?"
"You brought it up first."
"Didn't we agree to deal with him as soon as possible?"
"True, but it doesn't conflict with this."
"you"
"boom!"
Jacob slammed the table, stood up, suppressed his anger, pointed at Eugene and said loudly:
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're still plotting at this time. Fine. If you don't want to, then I'll give up. Let's face it together and see who suffers."
At this time, Martha, who represented the Qing Cang School, stood up and said,
"Stop arguing."
Julien's wife was a very pretty lady, and she said to Eugene calmly:
"This time is different from the past. This human descender named Lin Xiao has been promoted to the seventh level. Now he has inherited the Witch King Tower. It is legitimate and easy for him to gather strength that exceeds ours. With the support of the world's will, he will reach the level of the old Witch King in a few hundred years. By then, relying on the support of this world, even if we invite masters from other worlds, they will not be able to do anything to him. For the sake of our grand plan, we must eradicate him as soon as possible."
