Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Merlin Mage Challenges the Halls
When she heard the name Merlin Mage, Aya couldn’t help but tremble.
She looked at Fang Zhou, who had a white beard, with some shock. This image completely overlapped with that of the teacher in Aya’s memory.
After being stunned for a while, Aya was shocked and asked, “Why do you use this name?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Fang Zhou twirled the magic wand in his hand twice and laughed, “Since we have already become one of the Fire Stealers in history, why can’t we be the mysterious Merlin Mage? What we’re doing now is exactly the same as what he did in history, isn’t it?”
In history, the mysterious Merlin Mage developed a magic potion that allowed men to easily cultivate, completely changing the world’s culture of male subordination and female dominance.
Fang Zhou plans to popularize the Nine Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill here, perfectly matching what Merlin Mage did historically, just like how the two became Fire Stealers.
This reasoning is very compelling, but Aya still finds it hard to accept that the teacher she admired during her lifetime is actually Fang Zhou.
She is almost confused now, whether the two have changed history or created history.
Seeing her conflicted look, Fang Zhou reached out to embrace her and patted her shoulder; “Don’t think about these troublesome things anymore, as long as the historical trend doesn’t change, it’s fine.”
It’s very difficult for individual changes to affect the historical trend, unless this individual plays an extremely important role in history.
Merlin Mage used magic potion to change the world, eventually becoming a deeply buried historical legend.
Aya specifically formed an archaeological team to excavate this piece of history from old documents; even so, this history is only a narration.
How Merlin Mage researched and developed the magic potion, how he let men around the world consume it, these details have long become a mystery in history.
Since no one knows now, this is an area where Fang Zhou can exert his creativity.
Aya couldn’t refute Fang Zhou’s words and could only board the pirate ship, joining him in the effort to popularize the Nine Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Fang Zhou officially appeared as Merlin Mage, while Aya was pretending to be the mage’s assistant. At Fang Zhou’s strong request, she had no choice but to change her identity from an assistant to an assistant and wife.
Fang Zhou has already come up with a plan in advance. First, he needs to expand his fame, then gain power, and finally, use his power to popularize the Nine Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill.
The method to expand his name is simpler.
In this era, mages, though no longer the only rulers, still firmly occupy the upper echelons of society because they hold absolute power.
Fang Zhou and Aya are located in the northern part of a place called Baao Kingdom.
Fang Zhou traveled as a mage with his assistant, starting from the north and heading towards this country’s Royal Capital.
Along the way, he kept challenging well-known mages, first defeating them with strength and then persuading them with words.
In this way, before Fang Zhou reached the destination, the name of Merlin Mage had already spread to the Royal Capital, and had reached the ears of many well-established mages.
When Fang Zhou arrived at the Royal Capital, he was already the focus of attention. Not only the mages, but even the ruling class of this country were paying attention to this mysterious mage who suddenly appeared.
These days, male mages are already very rare, let alone one as high-profile as Fang Zhou.
After entering the Royal Capital, Fang Zhou directly challenged the renowned mages there. Simply put, he was going from door to door for challenges, defeating them one by one.
Some timid ones avoided battle with various excuses and reasons, but more for the sake of reputation had to accept the challenge, only to be easily defeated by Fang Zhou.
The nobles of Baao Kingdom initially watched for entertainment, but soon became tense.
Mages are a nation’s high-end strategic force, and now the mages of Baao Kingdom have been defeated by an outsider, which could seriously undermine the Kingdom’s prestige and embolden surrounding enemy nations.
Hence, the great nobles personally came forward to host him, hoping Fang Zhou would stop this harmful behavior. They were willing to make some concessions.
If they could, Baao nobles would rather tear Fang Zhou limb from limb, but this male mage was clearly not to be trifled with, so they aimed to win him over.
Fang Zhou took the hint and agreed, but he had a request: he hoped the Royal Capital could host a grand event for him, inviting all the men of the Royal Capital to attend. As a male mage, he prepared to give the men a blessing.
The nobles were puzzled by this bizarre request but readily agreed, as it seemingly posed no harm.
After nearly a month’s publicity, tens of thousands of men gathered at the largest square in the Royal Capital, wanting to see the male mage who has been making waves recently.
Even male relatives of other mages and nobles came to join the fun, eager to see what kind of blessing this mysterious and powerful mage intended to give to the fellow men.
As these men entered the venue, Fang Zhou had already hired people at the entrance to distribute a Nine Yang Marrow Cleansing Pill to each person.
The Nine Yang Pill looked like a glass bead; no one knew it was an elixir, thinking it was a gemstone, and kept it tightly hidden on themselves.
When Fang Zhou stepped onto the temporarily built high platform, every one of the tens of thousands of men had a Nine Yang Pill in hand.
Fang Zhou used his divine sense to transmit his voice clearly to everyone’s ears.
He held up a Nine Yang Pill in his hand and said, “The blessing I want to give you lies within this magic potion. That’s right, it’s not a gemstone but a magic potion. It can bring you unimaginable benefits, and what exactly these benefits are, you’ll know after you consume it.”
Having said this, to give these people some confidence, Fang Zhou directly threw the Nine Yang Pill in his hand into his mouth and swallowed it.
The entire venue immediately became buzzing with noise, what was thought to be a gemstone turned out to be a magic sermon.
Those nobles and mages watching were full of doubts, completely unaware of what Fang Zhou intended with this stunt.
With Fang Zhou taking the lead, many men swallowed the Nine Yang Pill, though a significant number remained skeptical, not daring to consume it easily.
Fang Zhou’s divine sense monitored every person present. He laughed and said only after over two-thirds had consumed the Nine Yang Pill: “The effect of this magic potion is that it allows you to easily feel magic power, and it can even be inherited by your descendants. You don’t have to be ordinary civilians all your life; you can be mages or nobles.”
The entire square fell silent; countless people were stunned by Fang Zhou’s words.
Those nobles and mages were even more furious, standing up in anger. Only then did they realize Fang Zhou’s “sinister intentions!”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense! It’s fake!”
A mage used the Feather Flying Technique, flying up to expose Fang Zhou’s “lies!”
However, before she could finish speaking, she crashed down from the air.
At this moment, the tens of thousands of men on the square finally reacted, causing an uproar.
