The Genius Mage Chapter 58
Advertisement
The head of the jury was the most authoritative presence in the entire Jones Empire. This position represented not only the existence of justice but also the majesty of the Jones Empire.
The jury had always been appointed by the king himself, just like the king's party. However, the jury was not subordinate to the king himself and became an independent faction.
Therefore, the king was very wary of the jury. But, over time, he planted the seed of the language of truth in the blood of all the jury leaders.
The so-called language of truth was a kind of slow-acting poison developed by alchemists. It could make people reveal the truth uncontrollably and at the same time, it would erode the lives of the people who were poisoned.
This seed was monopolized by the royal family and was planted in the body of the head of the jury for generations.
No one would challenge the head of the jury's impartiality.
Houston glanced at Kaki and continued, "I'm sorry, Grand Elder. I'll talk to her privately about matters related to etiquette. I've spoiled her too much."
Grand Elder Pierre's eyes flickered. He had not expected that Calder would still have such a trick up his sleeve.
He did not believe that Calder Davis, who adored Audrey, knew that his own daughter was a level-10 expert. The test stone of the Davis family would never be wrong. Then, there was only one Calder who could make a fuss about Audrey.
Elder Pierre snorted coldly. Calder, you have really done a good job to deal with the Davis family under the eyes of so many people! He would do anything to secure his position as the patriarch.
However, they could not go against the jury. Even if they wanted to talk to Audrey, they could only wait until Audrey returned to the Davis family.

Seeing that this matter was about to be settled, Audrey suddenly opened her mouth.
Her long golden hair was draped behind her back. Her blue eyes were as cold as ice. "Kaki, since you don't believe me, come and compete with me yourself."
Compete!?
Has Audrey Davis gone crazy!?
Everyone was shocked! Did Audrey dislike the fact that she had lived for too long?
Even if Audrey had become a level 10 fighter, Kaki had become a level 1 fighter at the age of five, a level 5 fighter at the age of ten, and a level 7 fighter at the age of eighteen!
Even if they had tacitly acknowledged Audrey as a peerless genius, she was definitely not as strong as the long-time hard-working Kaki.
There was no doubt about this battle.
Kaki was stunned for a moment before she said disdainfully, "Just you? Audrey, think carefully. If you were to lose to me, the title of genius that you have worked so hard to prove would lose its halo again."
In her heart, she kept praying that Audrey would insist on competing with her! Only in this way could she prove in front of everyone that she, Kaki Davis, was the favored daughter of the Davis family!
Calder looked at Audrey gently. There was a smile on his face as he absolutely trusted his daughter. "Audrey, are you really going to do this? Even if you can fail?"
Audrey did not know why, but she felt her body suddenly lighten up a little. It was as if a butterfly was living in her heart and was about to fly up.
She walked down the steps and ran to Calder in small steps. She looked directly at Calder boldly. "Father, if I fail, will I still be your daughter?"

Calder laughed and pulled Audrey into his arms. "Of course, my dearest Audrey. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, you have become my bravest and most determined little princess today."
Elder Pierre looked at Audrey and Calder with a strange expression. Finally, he asked in a low voice, "Kaki, are you confident that you can defeat Audrey?"
Flames burned in Kaki's eyes as she answered firmly, "Of course!"
She had figured out that there was another possibility for her to become a level 10 fighter in such a short period of time besides her own strength.
That was the alchemist potion that had disappeared from the auction!
How could a piece of trash that had been piled up with medicine really compete with the phoenix on the parasol tree?

War of Seasons
Dorothea Atlin is the young, apathetic leader of the neutral territory of Sirpo, a chilly land hovering above the continuously warring factions of Sacer and Ghuria, whose devastating magics have ravaged their people and lands time and time again. Following a shocking attack and a cruel deception, Dorothea grows her conscience and takes up arms, using her self-destructive ability to manipulate the flow of time to ensure Sacer’s victory. Her growing understanding of war and the two factions is guided by Iree Nobelis, the determined and enthralling commander of Sacer’s forces, Ariana Kingfisher, a steely swordswoman of mixed Ghurian and Sacerian descent, and Rhys Tamlin, a kind but haunted soldier who goes to challenge Dorothea’s self-imposed celibacy and join her on a mutual journey of healing from the tragic legacies of the Atlin family and wars between the nations. Meanwhile, Dorothea’s only friend and deserter from the Sacerian military, Shark Olyen, returns to their homeland to face the family that disowned them and finds more than they bargained for in meeting Cerid Creed, a noble whose duty to his people clashes with his desires in romance and in life, much like Shark’s did long before. As their developing or preexisting loves and differing convictions on how to achieve peace create rifts between these major players, Dorothea experiences a personal revolution that leads her to fight for what she believes is right, no matter the cost. A slow-burn story that takes time setting up the psychology and motivations of characters for explosive payoff later down the line. Cover by Ben Arisson, who is also a wonderful author on this website!
