Full-Time Magister: Super Mage

Chapter 553 Asha's Invitation

"It is quite a coincidence," Jiang Han said with a smile.

"Who is this?" Mu Nujiao asked Asha Ruya warily.

Jiang Shaoxu also curiously observed Jiang Han and the foreign beauty who had suddenly appeared. She had a feeling that the person in front of her would be a formidable opponent.

Having Mu Nujiao is troublesome enough; if a foreign girl comes along, how will we split things up?

"Her identity is no simple matter. She's not only the head of an intelligence organization, but also a candidate for sainthood at the Parthenon. She's probably here to represent Greece in the competition." Jiang Han smiled, then turned to say, "I guessed right, didn't I?"

"Mr. Jiang, did you do a thorough job of intelligence gathering?" Asha Ruya asked, feigning nonchalance.

She originally thought Jiang Han only knew that she was a saintess of the Parthenon, but she didn't expect that this guy had secretly investigated her and knew that she was selling information. So who exactly gave him the information? Those old guys in the organization, or did he have his own channels for obtaining information?

While Asha's brainstorming session was underway, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly asked, "Miss Asha, from the tone of your voice just now, it seemed like you knew a lot about this Sin Stone, and even seemed to be mocking someone."

Coming to her senses, Asha'ruya looked at the black stones in the shop window and gave a very contemptuous smile. "The Holy Tribunal judges people's guilt or innocence based on these stones. Black represents guilt, and white represents innocence."

"When the Holy Tribunal is to judge a very important person, it will convene the council of elders of the Holy Tribunal to conduct a Holy Trial on that person. If the result of the trial is that black is greater than white, the person is guilty and will be subject to the destruction of the Holy Tribunal; otherwise, the person is innocent."

"It was during a trial many years ago that the black stone was exactly equal to the white stone. Unexpectedly, the goddess of the Parthenon cast the black stone, convicting her own brother. This earned him the reputation of being impartial and incorruptible. Since then, this stone, representing impartiality, has been displayed here for people from all over the world to see on open days." Azharia's thoughts seemed to return to that day that made her so angry.

"Isn't your goddess a bit too..." Mu Nujiao was at a loss for words when it came to commenting on the goddess.

What kind of "putting righteousness before family" is this? It sounds better than it sounds. The two sides were already evenly matched, yet she still chose the black side on such an issue that so easily determines the life or death of her relatives. Using the lives of her relatives to demonstrate her "iron-fisted impartiality" is just plain sick.

"Let's not talk about things that affect our mood." Asha'ruya composed herself and said with a smile, "Interested in going on a mission with me? We'll split the bounty afterward."

"Okay, what kind of bounty?" Jiang Han asked after a moment's thought.

"A bounty on the legendary Black Dragon Emperor," Asha'ruya said with a serious expression.

"Black Dragon Emperor?" Mu Nujiao was somewhat confused, while Jiang Shaoxu seemed to be deep in thought.

"Legend has it that atop the Tyrant Mountains dwells a colossal dragon—not one of those pseudo-dragons from the Dragon-Riding Families, but a true dark dragon!"

"The bounty I accepted this time is to investigate whether a dark dragon really dwells in the Tyrant Mountains."

"Mr. Jiang, would you be interested?" Asha Ruya asked Jiang Han with a smile.

Jiang Han was well aware of Asha's purpose, but it was not worth making this trip just for that little bit of bounty. At most, he would get another soul seed from the Tyrant Mountain Range, but it was still not worth it.

Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu looked at Jiang Han curiously, wondering if he would accept the foreign woman's invitation.

Seeing that Jiang Han remained silent, Asha'ruya offered another condition, "I remember you seem to have awakened a lightning element, right? I wonder if you're interested in soul seeds?"

"The name of the Soul Thunder is Saladin's Soul Thunder, or in your Chinese terms, Tyrant's Desolate Thunder."

"In addition to the normal amplification, this kind of Soul Lightning also has a Tyrant Domain. Any energy related to the lightning element will be absorbed into the mage's body by the Tyrant Domain. Its carrying capacity is several times that of an ordinary lightning domain, and its lightning resistance is also the best among all Soul Lightning domains."

"The lightning magic of this soul species is 5 to 6 times more powerful than that of ordinary species. Any lightning magic it releases will be accompanied by the mark of desolate lightning upon hitting an enemy. If any lightning magic hits an enemy within the Tyrant's Domain, it will trigger Tyrant's Sanction! The power of Tyrant's Sanction is equivalent to a mid-level spell, Thunderstrike," Asha'ruya continued.

"A soul seed with so many characteristics, if it were auctioned off, it would be worth several times more than an ordinary lightning-type soul seed!" Mu Nujiao and Jiang Shaoxu were both surprised that Asha Ruya would offer such a top-quality soul seed as an invitation condition.

Jiang Han's current Soul Seed, Purple-Gold Profound Thunder, is already among the top Soul Seeds, with an amplification effect approximately 6.8 times that of ordinary Soul Seeds. Its special characteristic is that five levels of lightning continuously descend within the Profound Thunder Domain!

As long as the lightning magic energy doesn't run out, the thunder within the Xuanlei Domain will never stop—it's a veritable artillery turret!

It was at this moment that the long-silent system notification suddenly rang in my ears.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Special Quest Triggered: The Birth of a Celestial!"

"Accept Asha's invitation and successfully obtain the Tyrant Desolate Thunder, thus initiating a new round of transformation for the Purple Gold Profound Thunder."

"Task Reward: 10 System Points, and the Advancement Path for the Purple-Gold Profound Thunder Heavenly Seed."

Immediately afterward, Xiao Shi suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Han and showed him the advancement path of the Purple Gold Profound Lightning. One of the paths was to devour other soul lightning and retain the characteristics of the devoured soul seeds. If this were to be synthesized into a Heavenly Seed, it would be far superior to other Heavenly Seeds.
