Chapter 170 Grand Mage

Surprisingly, the most powerful force in the Empire, unlike what most commoners thought, wasn't the royal family. 

They were certainly among the most powerful, but if one was to take away their command over the subjects they ruled, they were only so powerful and, in fact, were weaker compared to some forces. .

One of such examples was the adventurer guild. 

Not only did it have its traces all around the empire, but it also had its traces beyond the empire. 

Then there were some families that also had powers that could compare to the empire's royal family and not lose out. 

These forces were so strong that some even had histories longer than the empire. 

And something that these forces were usually known for was their ability to birth monstrous geniuses or cultivate them.

What Michael didn't know was that the old mage had mistaken him as one of these monstrous geniuses.
