228: Compromise From the Goddess of Magic

Compromise From the Goddess of Magic

3At this moment, a vast and terrifying aura suddenly descended. Li Cheng's pupils shrunk as a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him.4

This figure looked extremely familiar to Li Chen. Who else could it be other than the Goddess of Magic?

"State your conditions." The Goddess of Magic's eyes were ice-cold.

Li Cheng shrugged. "Your Highness, I've been obsessed with alchemy recently, so I came here to ask for some alchemy formulas."

Hearing this, the Goddess of Magic's eyelids twitched. Li Cheng had killed tens of millions of her followers and even used the magic network to threaten her. He was making such a big fuss just to ask for a few alchemy formulas?

The Goddess of Magic took a deep breath and said, "In that case, let's sign a truce agreement."

Li Cheng was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he smiled and continued, "Apart from that, there are some things that I'd like to ask the Goddess for help with."

Knowing that Li Cheng was going to ask for too much, her expression turned icy cold. "Go ahead."

"I need a key to the Astral Cage!" Li Cheng said as his expression turned solemn.

Hearing this, the Goddess of Magic's eyes widened. The key to the Astral Cage was found on the corpse of the previous Goddess of Magic.

She knew very well what the Astral Cage was. However, she did not know where the cage corresponding to this key was, so she had not used it for thousands of years.

The Goddess of Magic quickly answered, "Impossible."

Seeing that the Goddess of Magic did not agree, Li Cheng was not surprised. He'd be extremely surprised if things went smoothly. Perhaps the Goddess of Magic had even set a trap for him somewhere.

Li Cheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Isn't it just a wooden box? Look, in this era, one would be embarrassed to come out without an Astral Cage."

After saying that, Li Cheng took out a complete Astral Cage from his backpack.

When the Goddess of Magic saw this, her eyes widened in shock. It really was an Astral Cage!!

The corner of her mouth twitched. 'In this era, one would be embarrassed to come out without an Astral Cage...'

One had to know that there were only four astral cages in the entire universe. Putting everything aside, if her real body was thrown in, she would not be able to escape without the corresponding key.

When she thought of this, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes. Where did this human get this thing?

He took this out to show it to her. Was he also trying to threaten her?

Seeing that the Goddess of Magic did not speak, Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders and continued, "You don't even know where the cage is. So why do you need the key? You might as well give it to me. In any case, it'll be very beneficial to you."

Hearing Li Cheng's words, the Goddess of Magic narrowed her eyes. She was sure that she had never told anyone about finding the Astral Cage key, not even her most pious oracle.

How did this human know?

When she thought of this, the Goddess of Magic also relented and asked, "What benefits will I gain?"

Li Cheng paused for a moment and said with a serious expression, "Well, no one will be trying to attack your magic network."

The Goddess of Magic was shocked speechless. 

..

A few minutes later, an ancient key appeared in Li Cheng's hand. It looked just like an ordinary branch that had been broken off from a tree's trunk.

This inconspicuous thing could unlock the most unsolvable Astral prison in the entire universe.

The system's rumbling notification then rang in Li Cheng's ears.

"Ding, dong! World Announcement. Mage City has surrendered to the Kingdom of Kent. The Kingdom of Kent has won the war!

"Ding, dong! World Announcement. Mage City has ceded all the southern mines to the Kingdom of Kent. The borders of both countries have changed. Please, pay attention."

"Ding, dong! You've obtained the Immortal-grade Supreme Life Potion Formula!

"Ding, dong! You've obtained the Immortal-grade Supreme Magic Potion Formula!

"Ding, dong! You've obtained the Immortal-grade Supreme Endurance Potion Formula!

"Ding, dong, you've obtained...

"Ding, dong..."

As the system's voice fell, Li Cheng's backpack was suddenly filled with a few hundred Immortal-grade alchemy formulas. These were all personally given to him by the Goddess of Magic. Even the mages in Mage City had never seen them before since they were all Immortal-grade.

If word of any of these formulas were to get out, it would be enough to cause a commotion in the entire mage world.

Li Cheng also clapped his hands in satisfaction. He had achieved his objective for this trip. He glanced at the time. Soon, the sun would be up, so he said, "Let's return to the territory."

..

The war between the Kingdom of Kent and Mage City ended in less than a few hours. This had shocked the surrounding kingdoms.

In the Kingdom of Modill, a man's eyes were wide open as he looked at the battle report sent by his subordinates in disbelief.

"One hour to attack Hindley City...

"All the crystals in Mage City have been consumed, completely paralyzing their defense systems...

"The Goddess of Magic personally appeared, and she had no choice but to surrender?!

"Who is this Netherworld?!"

After murmuring a few times, the man's eyes were filled with fear. Such strength was indeed a little ridiculous.

Soon, the man made a decision and said coldly, "No matter what, we can't let him continue to progress.

"It seems that I have to teach him a lesson, to let him know what it means to shoot the first bird that stands out!"

Li Cheng, on the other hand, did not care about the opinions of the others. If he knew what the Modill Kingdom was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. Was it not just an NPC kingdom that was 50-50 with the Kingdom of Kent? Were they that important?

At this time, he had already replaced the southern part of the Kingdom of Kent with Immortal-grade city walls. He had also given them over 100,000 Profound energy cannons. After that, he used the teleportation portal to return to his own territory.

As usual, he let his troops eat and recuperate. His colleagues had also recruited a new batch of troops.

Li Cheng went to his highest-level alchemy table and began to refine some items. The refining materials were naturally obtained from several large-scale events, along with other useless items which he casually threw into the Kingdom of Kent's national treasury.
