I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

"So, Mr. Stephens probably never mentioned me to you, after all, I am not really his true student yet."

Ludwig cut another piece of lamb leg, placed it in his mouth, and slowly savored it, seeming to really enjoy the taste of roasted lamb leg.

Thinking this, Lis also began to taste the fruits of his labor.

It couldn't be helped, if he was any more polite and didn't start eating, all the roasted meat would be devoured by the Golden Dragon before him.

Lis had no doubt about the Golden Dragon's appetite, even if he roasted ten more whole lambs, it would not be enough for this one to eat.

"The teacher only stayed on Dragon Island for a year, and that time was truly wonderful."

Ludwig, finding the knife too slow, directly grabbed the lamb leg and bit off a big chunk, excitedly expressing,

"At that time, I would squat next to the teacher, watching the process of him mastering Dragon Language Magic, it was really amazing!"

"It took the teacher a year to master Dragon Language Magic?"

Lis, who was brushing seasoning on three lamb legs, asked curiously upon hearing this.

According to Lis's knowledge from his previous life, Dragon Language Magic was basically exclusive to Dragon Clan and Dragon Descendant Creatures, and it was rare to hear of other races learning and mastering Dragon Language Magic.

As the name implies, Dragon Language Magic involves invoking elemental power using the Dragon Language, thereby casting specific spells, which is what differentiates Dragon Language Magic from the Magic used by Humans.

Dragon Language, being the most fundamental and essential heritage of the Dragon Clan, has a history stretching back before the appearance of Humans, allegedly created by the Nine-faced Dragon God, Io, and deeply rooted in the Dragon Clan's bloodlines. If a Giant Dragon did not awaken the heritage of Dragon Language in its bloodline and chant its true name at birth, it would just be a Dragon Beast without wisdom, abandoned by its dragon mother.

This illustrates the significance of Dragon Language to the Dragon Clan.

As a language containing Extraordinary Power, Dragon Language, like Ancient Elf and Titan languages, resonates with Nature's elements, granting the Dragon Clan their unique powers. The Magic Runes used by modern Humans to cast Magic have reportedly evolved from these Transcendent languages.

Dragon Language is an extremely ancient and primitive language, containing incredibly strong primordial Strength, and the ancestors of the Dragon Clan created many forms of Magic and established a system of Dragon Language Magic, bequeathed within the Dragon Clan's bloodlines.

But for this reason, when those Dragon Clan ancestors were creating Dragon Language Magic, they did not take into account whether the user's body was strong enough to meet the standard, as the body of the Dragon Clan could bear any Dragon Language Magic with ease.

Therefore, to learn Dragon Language Magic, one must not only learn the Dragon Language, but also possess a sufficiently powerful physical constitution.

Although Lis had not yet encountered the study of Dragon Language Magic, he figured these problems probably weren't much of an issue for Fran Stephens.

As one of the continent's top Legendary Arcanists, Lis never doubted Mr. Stephens's Wisdom. It probably wouldn't take him a whole year just to learn Dragon Language Magic.

"So, this is where the teacher is impressive!"

Talking about this, Ludwig's eyes sparkled, and he even put down the roasted lamb leg in his hand.

"The teacher mastered most of the Dragon Language Magic within a month, except for those with special restrictions, and he spent the rest of the time doing one thing."

"What was the teacher busy with?"

Lis played along at just the right moment, while taking out a crystal-clear crystal goblet, pouring some precious Naske Red Wine from the East Coast of the Fanor Continent for Ludwig.

This Golden Dragon big shot seemed to know many secrets, and Lis was enjoying the stories.

"Afterward, Mr. Stephens spent his time researching Body Enchantment, using Dragon Language Magic!"

Body Enchantment?

Lis was somewhat taken aback.

Body Enchantment was not an uncommon practice; it was also a relatively important and common area of study in the field of Magic Runes.

Just like Enchantment of weapons, it involved carving Magic Runes onto the body to invoke elemental power and enhance the body.

There are many common types of Body Enchantments, some that strengthen physical Strength, some that enhance Elemental Affinity, some that increase resistance to negative Status conditions, and even some that enhance a particular ability.

Body Enchantments are not without drawbacks. The difficulty of carving Magic Runes onto the body is much greater than weapon Enchantments, and the Magic Runes also place a burden on the body, with the Magic Power required to power the Runes provided by the user.

Under all these restrictions, basically, only the most naive warriors are the most suitable vessels for Body Enchantment.

That excludes players who like to run around covered in colorful tattoos.

As for engraving Dragon Language Magic on the body, this idea... is indeed feasible.

As a script with Extraordinary Power, Dragon Language certainly has the same effect as Magic Rune.

Can we say nothing but worthy of a Legendary Arcanist?

"So... what was the final result?"

Lis nodded and turned to ask Ludwig.

"The teacher engraved all the strength-enhancing Magic Runes on his body, and in the end, even the elder couldn't beat the teacher in arm wrestling."

Ludwig held his head high, looking proud.

No wonder your elder slapped you flying; you indeed have the potential to be a troublemaker.

Lis glanced at the triumphant Ludwig and shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

But to win arm wrestling against a Dragon Clan Elder, that's a lot of Strength enhancement!

"That strong, truly worthy of my teacher."

Lis could tell, this Golden Dragon held great admiration for Judgement Flame.

"Of course!"

Ludwig drained the cup of fine wine in one gulp and then gazed eagerly at the three lamb legs sizzling and oozing fat over the campfire.

The lamb leg from earlier didn't even fill the gap between his teeth.

"However, the teacher also said later that it wasn't of much use to him."

"Mainly because the teacher's physical strength indeed can't compare to ours in the Dragon Clan. If he wanted to engrave Dragon Language Magic on his body, the teacher would first have to expend a great deal of Magic Power to strengthen his body in advance, maintain his Strength while engraving the Magic Rune, and utilize the Rune's enhancing capabilities."

"According to the teacher, it can only serve as a kind of special strengthening technique, and it barely increases his power," Ludwig explained.

So, the physical Strength of a Legendary Giant Dragon isn't even considered an added bonus anymore?

Lis was somewhat silent; the strength of a Legendary Arcanist was truly unfathomable. Even as a former Golden Mage in his past life, he was nothing more than an ant before his teacher.

But, good!

Thinking of all the wonders that awaited him in the future, Lis found his thirst for power growing increasingly uncontrollable.

"Later, the teacher gave me this Ring before he left Dragon Island."

"Although the teacher didn't acknowledge me as his disciple, I believe that as long as I keep working hard, I will succeed one day."

"Keep it up!"

Lis said so and then suddenly realized something.

If the teacher really does take him as a disciple in the future, does that mean he will become my junior?

Lis's gaze shifted, looking warmly and kindly at Ludwig, handing over a freshly roasted lamb leg.

"Eat slowly, no rush!"

Ludwig took a big juicy bite of lamb meat and mumbled:

"I must say, your cooking skills are really good... What's with that look?"
