Chapter 588: 487 Turbulent undercurrent_2
Including the royal army under Morgan’s instruction, they too showed a tendency to increasingly intensify their actions, either sending envoys to negotiate marriage affairs with clan chiefs in various major clans’ cities, or deploying troops to patrol within the territories of Fairy Country Britannia, occasionally eliminating molluscs, giving off a sense of wanting to put out a warning or suppress something.
Morgan herself even made a declaration in front of diplomats and officials.
"I do not wish for my wedding to be hindered by any insignificant ripples."
This was a clear proclamation.
Many fairies understood the hidden meaning behind Morgan’s words.
Her Majesty the Queen’s message was simple: she was telling others that if anyone sought to hinder her wedding, she wouldn’t mind taking matters into her own hands and teaching the troublemakers a lesson they wouldn’t forget.
This indeed frightened many fairies who were eager to witness a spectacle.
After all, this was no benevolent ruler, but a witch who has reigned in terror at the very pinnacle of Britannia for two millennia, who had once crushed the six major clans single-handedly, and by the most brutish force pacified and unified Britannia.
Since becoming queen, she had almost never left her throne, but if she were to campaign again, how many would die?
No one dared to imagine!
Consequently, the diplomats and officials promptly became more subdued, and the royal army’s operations grew in intensity, causing the forces resisting the queen to seek cover upon realizing the unfavorable trend.
Under such circumstances, Reiger himself started to enjoy some rare leisure time within the palace.
Since he could not leave Camelot, Reiger was unable to engage in combat to accumulate experience, nor could he travel, so he simply wandered around.
Whether inside the palace or out, as long as it was in Camelot, Reiger had almost explored every nook and cranny.
Morgan seemed to have instructed her loyal followers to ignore Reiger, allowing him free movement, which meant that Reiger faced no obstructions anywhere he went, even the palace’s treasury was opened to him.
"Is she not afraid I’ll empty this place?"
Reiger actually wanted to take the opportunity to teach Morgan a profound lesson, to let her know that all this gold and silver treasure wouldn’t even fill a corner of the Dimensional Magic Cube’s storage space.
But after some thought, Reiger abandoned such a childish act of revenge.
"Even if I really did empty this place, that witch wouldn’t care, right?"
Indeed, a nation’s treasure vault is a critically important resource, but would Morgan care?
She would not.
Even if the treasure vault was compromised and plundered, it would be the nation and its fairies that would suffer the consequences.
As for whether the fairies lived or died, Morgan simply didn’t care.
So, even if Reiger were to empty the treasure vault, it would be of no consequence to Morgan; it wouldn’t make a difference.
With this realization, Reiger stopped paying attention to the so-called treasure vault and started browsing other places.
The library within the palace was what interested Reiger the most.
There, not only were many magic books stored, but there were also a variety of magic garments and equipment.
Reiger briefly skimmed through them and found that whether it was the magic books or the magic garments, the magic power they contained was considerable.
If one were to classify these items using the item grades of the Overlord’s world, from low to high: lower, middle, high, top, legacy, Divine Artifact, legendary, Divine Artifact level, and even world level, these magic books and magic garments would at least be classified as legacy, with some even reaching the legendary tier.
"Did Morgan craft all of these?"
Reiger had reason to suspect so.
In the entirety of Fairy Country Britannia, there were only two magicians, and even counting Altoria, only three, and among these three, only Morgan had the capability to create magic books and garments of such quality.
"Unfortunately, they’re of no use to me."
Reiger thought with some regret.
The magic books either contained some arcane magic or were items that could automatically engage enemies. However, their strength was just passable, and when it came to Reiger’s hands, they proved utterly useless.
For Reiger, who could directly memorize magic with "Omnipotent" and reproduce it, there was absolutely no need to learn magic on his own. If he needed help engaging enemies, he could summon magical creatures or dispatch automaton puppets, making these magic books pointless for him.
The magic garments were slightly useful, but Reiger didn’t find anything he needed among them.
In other words, although the library was impressive, it was of no use to Reiger.
"If Morgan’s ’Mirror’, ’Tower’, ’Court’, and ’Coffin’ were here, that might be worth seeing."
Morgan’s grand magic such as ’Mirror’, ’Tower’, ’Court’, and ’Coffin’, each one was a high-value mystery with powerful effects.
’Mirror’ was a space-time transfer magic that included but was not limited to the ability to exile modern objects to past eras with ’Water Mirror’ and the dimensional transfer at will through the connection of a main mirror with a subsidiary mirror in ’Combined Mirror,’ its practical level was almost comparable to Reiger’s teleportation and time magic.
’Court’ was an enchantment capable of imprisoning specific targets in corresponding cages, comprising several varieties such as "Dream," "Abyss," "Disappointment," "Innocent," each with their own distinct effects. For instance, the Court of the Innocent could imprison those burdened with deep sins, only those who were guiltless could escape; the Court of Disappointment would inflict repetitive psychological assaults on the trapped; and the solitary ’Court’ Reiger had encountered could seal off part of the world, preventing the manifestation of magic or magical powers.
