Chapter 222: Set Off! Mage City!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were several generations of the Goddess of Magic in the lost continent. How many exactly, Li Cheng did not know, but this ring was obviously from an ancient Goddess of Magic. On top of that, it contained a portion of her divine power.
The effect of this ring was simply explosive. Every intelligence point provided an additional 10 points of magic attack power. The benefits of this attribute were just too high.
One had to know that intelligence usually provided two points of magic attack power. This attribute directly increased Li Cheng’s magic attack power by several times.
The spirit points gained would also increase Li Cheng’s mana. Moreover, the ring had an extremely terrifying mana regeneration effect. It was akin to having an unlimited amount of mana.
As for the fourth attribute, when Li Cheng saw it, his pupils constricted. Spells below the tenth circle did not need to be chanted. One had to know that the highest level spell in existence, which was a forbidden spell, was only a ninth circle spell.
In other words, no matter what skill Li Cheng used now, he did not need to chant them to cast them.
As for the last spell, Magic Imprisonment, Li Cheng could only sigh at the thought of how ridiculously powerful it was. The targeted would not be able to cast elemental magic skills. If any mage was targeted with this, it would be worse than death.
Was there anything more torturous than a mage being unable to cast spells?
After looking through the attributes of the three pieces of equipment, Li Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction. The harvest was not bad. As for the massive amount of resources in the national treasury, Li Cheng naturally had no interest in them.
He immediately ordered one of his troops to find all the blueprints and to learn them all. Unfortunately, they were all trash.
The only useful blueprint was of the Zerg’s research center, which was considered a useful research building. Its effect was to increase the troops’ damage to the Zergs. Adding that to the effect of the Ancient God of Science and Technology’s research journal would be impressive.
“What else do you need?”
Just as Li Cheng was browsing through the treasury, this sudden voice gave him a shock. Lena had appeared beside him without him knowing.
Lena had already changed out of the royal dress and into the princess dress from before.
Seeing Lena, the corners of Li Cheng’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself, as expected of Ella’s Saintess. She could be given full marks for her concealment ability.
“Why are you here?” Li Cheng asked.
“If I didn’t, you would’ve emptied the national treasury by now.” Lena rolled her eyes at him.
When Lena saw the ring on Li Cheng’s hand, she said, “This ring was found in the ruins of the Profound Empire by the late king. It’s always been the most secret item of our royal family, so…”
Without waiting for Lena to say anything, Li Cheng immediately put it on and waved it in front of her with a smile. “Don’t worry. I’ll protect it well
Seeing Li Cheng’s appearance, Lena’s delicate mouth twitched slightly.
She had only just remembered the ring and rushed over in a hurry. When she realized she had given Li Cheng complete authority over the national treasury, she was so upset that she had completely forgotten about the ring. When she remembered it, she was already a step too late.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Since Li Cheng already had it, she would not say anything. She also knew that no matter what she said, Li Cheng would not give it back to her. She might as well do him a favor.
Seeing that Lena did not say anything, Li Cheng said without being courteous, “I need some alchemy formulas as well.”
“The most powerful alchemists and the highest level of formulas in the continent are all in the Mage City. I only have some ordinary drawings here.”
After Lena finished speaking, she found a lot of goatskin scrolls in the treasury. Li Cheng did not hesitate to take them all and begin using them.
Then, the system’s notification sound rang in his ear.
“Ding, dong! You’ve learned the Epic-grade advanced life potion recipe!
“Ding, dong! You’ve learned the Epic-grade advanced magic potion recipe!
“Ding, dong! You’ve learned the Epic-grade advanced speed scroll recipe!
“Ding, dong…”
After a series of system notifications, Li Cheng instantly unlocked a number of alchemy recipes. Unfortunately, even after hundreds of years of accumulation by the Kingdom of Kent, they were at most Epic-grade recipes.

If he wanted to search for higher-level ones, he would have to go to the Mage City. As for the Mage City…
Li Cheng glanced at the expressionless Lena beside him and asked, “You seem to have a conflict with the Mage City at the borders?”
Lena immediately replied coldly, “We, Grand Duke Netherworld, not just us!”
Hearing this, Li Cheng rolled his eyes and gave it to her.
Lena ignored Li Cheng’s expression and continued, “That’s right. They’re invading our crystal resource points. However, brother originally intended to cede it to them with a signed agreement.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Cede? How embarrassing. Give me one day and I’ll handle it.”
Lena did not say anything to that. However, Li Cheng still heard her faint snort. Sensing that this queen did not believe his words, Li Cheng was too lazy to explain.
Mages were considered the richest people in any universe. With this opportunity, how could Li Cheng let it go?
Would he let go of the chance to make a fortune here? He had served the Goddess of Magic for more than five years in his previous life.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng did not hesitate. He immediately gathered his troops and prepared to visit Mage City.
..
Mage City was located southeast of the entire continent. It was connected to a part of the southernmost territory of the Kingdom of Kent.
Of course, the core conflict between the two sides was that there was a large crystal ore vein there. There were also a few Mythical-grade resource points and dozens of Legendary-grade resource points.
Naturally, Mage City was extremely greedy. Being the gathering place for mages, the daily consumption of crystal stones was definitely a terrifying number.
Moreover, the ore vein happened to be in a very awkward position. The two kingdoms each occupied half of it. When one of the Mythical-grade resource points was discovered, it happened to be on the border between the two kingdoms. This naturally caused a lot of disputes.
At this time, in the south of the continent, countless mages wearing azure robes were looking at the crystal resource point in front of them proudly.
“Hahaha, with this mine, our Mage City won’t be lacking in crystals!”
“Speaking of which, it’s time to talk about the Great Mages. The Great Mages are mighty. They defeated two infantry regiments of the Kingdom of Kent in an instant.”
“That’s right. The Great Mages’ blizzard completely destroyed the other party. When will we have such an ability!”
“I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up to the Great Mages in this lifetime.”
“Who says so? If it weren’t for the Great Mages here, we might not have been able to snatch this crystal ore vein.”
