The First Magic World War-Chapter 647 - 612, Jade Book (Second effort in September, asking for monthly tickets)
Chapter 647: 612, Jade Book (Second effort in September, asking for monthly tickets) Chapter 647: 612, Jade Book (Second effort in September, asking for monthly tickets) In the Ducal Mansion of Mecklenburg, Belisa’s little hands gently spread open to the sides of her body, and with a slight lift, she took delicate steps in front of the group of maidens, walking several dozen paces with grace and lightness.
After her demonstration, she spoke softly, “You all are the first batch of maidservants in the Ducal Mansion of Mecklenburg, please be sure to maintain your etiquette.”
Belisa, having once served under three dukes, had automatically become the housekeeper Mama in the Mecklenburg after it was renamed.
She was instructing the new maidservants on their duties.
Although Mama Karen was also skilled at these matters, she served the Duchess Anne Brittany, not the Duke Mecklen’s household staff.
Belisa never thought that the authentic etiquette she had learned while training under the Duchess of Behemoth would one day be put to good use.
Being the most useless Transcendent under Charles…
Well, Miss Belisa actually quite enjoyed days like these, managing a Ducal Mansion, and being by the side of the Duchess…
...
Well, okay!
The Duchess of Mecklen was often away from Mecklenburg.
But indeed, she was the person Anne trusted the most when she was in Mecklenburg.
Because Miss Belisa posed no threat.
Belisa was very considerate of the maidservants; after just one hour of practice, she let them rest.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “Every day there’s war, when will it ever end?”
“It’s just a pity that I can no longer stay by Duke Mecklen’s side to help him.”
“I will manage the Ducal Mansion well.”
Belisa clenched her little fist as a sign of determination, when a maidservant hurriedly approached and said, “Taoles and Miss Anatasiya have arrived.”
Belisa quickly trotted out and soon met the two dear friends.
Taoles, Anatasiya, and Belisa formed a very close-knit group within the Westwind Knights.
Well, under normal circumstances, they might be called something like the Three Goddesses of the West Wind.
But all of Charles’s subordinates knew one thing—there was only one West Wind Goddess in this world, and that was Anne Brittany!
Even the University of Georgia, from which Anne graduated, had permanently discontinued the selection of the West Wind Goddess!

As Charles gained more and more people of Sacred level among his subordinates, he no longer took his old followers into battle, but instead distributed them to key departments to take charge of political administration and local management.
However, Charles had few old stalwarts he trusted, so these individuals were often transferred, continually moving from one place to another.
Charles had long since given up on Machu Picchu, sending the agile scribe Italo Calvino (the author of Charles’s biography) over to manage it, while summoning back Taoles and Anatasiya, who had been stationed at Machu Picchu for many years, to Mecklenburg.
Taoles would become the highest administrative official of Mecklenburg, and Anatasiya would become the supreme commander of the Mecklenburg Patrolling Army.
When the three girls met, they were overjoyed, calling upon the Duke’s Mansion kitchen to prepare afternoon tea and happily chatting for quite a while.
Anatasiya said, “The Duke is going to war, the Old Continent is at war, but our Mecklen Duchy has become quiet; I hope these peaceful days can continue.”
Ever since Charles returned and defeated the New World Conference, reclaiming the territory, the Mecklen Duchy had been peaceful, and life had been getting better and better.
However, this war involved the Evil God, and the three girls had no idea what the future held.
As they were chatting, suddenly a divine radiance descended from the sky and fell upon the city’s Temple of the Serpent of Destiny.
The three girls were startled, and Anatasiya said, “Let’s go have a look.”
Belisa immediately ordered the preparation of a carriage; with Charles away, she wielded the greatest power in the Ducal Mansion and could freely deploy resources.
They took the carriage and quickly arrived at the Temple, witnessing countless ethereal shadows dancing within the divine light above the Temple.
The divine glow lasted for half a day before dissipating, and after it vanished, the entire Temple was transformed, adorned with numerous sculptures, murals, and patterns.
Upon entering the Temple, one’s mood would become particularly serene, unlike before.
Belisa, astonished, said, “What is this all about?
Should we report this to His Grace?”
Taoles and Anatasiya were also at a loss as to what had happened but agreed with Belisa’s suggestion to report the matter to Charles.
Almost simultaneously, various omens, minor or significant, occurred throughout the Mecklen Duchy.
Although the local administrators of the Mecklen Duchy reported the incident, the response they received was nonchalant; Charles ordered everyone not to fuss over it and declared that nothing had happened.
Even among the higher-ups of the Modova Westwind Knights, not everyone understood what had transpired.
Only Charles himself knew that he seemed to have caused a major event.
Though he had lost the Emerald Tome and could no longer freely enter the Great Emerald Book Library, he had obtained the Jade Scroll, a definitely profitable exchange.
These days, Charles had been studying the Jade Scroll, which can be simply described as a “Divine Country” in its formative stage.
The Emerald Scroll truly imitated the Jade Scroll, with functionality and everything else very much alike, yet this time, the Serpent of Destiny favored the Emerald Scroll more, even abandoning the Jade Scroll.
The Jade Scroll contained an immensely vast space, albeit devoid of life and utterly vacant.
Although the Serpent of Destiny had created the Jade Scroll, it was evidently not sufficiently fleshed out in its concept, which is why it remained an incomplete model without fully developed features; this was the fundamental reason the Serpent of Destiny gifted it to Charles.
After studying the Jade Scroll for several days, Charles did grasp part of its functions.
He fundamentally differed from the Serpent of Destiny, and their lines of thought did not align.
The Serpent of Destiny sought to leverage the Jade Scroll to reach new heights, while Charles discovered that the location was perfect for establishing an alchemy workshop.
Inside the Jade Scroll, any attempt to forge an Extraordinary Object through alchemy would receive a luck probability bonus, increasing the rate of superior goods and reducing the rate of defects.
Being potable and of Divine level, the essence of the Jade Scroll rendered it nearly indestructible.
Furthermore, the space was vast enough to accommodate at least a few hundred production lines.
Even if all the alchemical workshops of the continent were placed inside, it would barely fill one or two percent.
In fact, the Jade Scroll had always been intended as a Divine Artifact for alchemy; it’s just that the Serpent of Destiny had not fully conceived its direction.
Now that it had landed in Charles’s hands, it would naturally be developed, unlocking functions that even the Serpent of Destiny had not imagined.
Since the establishment of the new calendar, Charles had an inkling that an era of the Evil God that was destined to appear would never come to pass.
