Combat Maid Harem

He didn\'t want to meet them when Ember urged him to return several years ago because he was too weak. He was already quite a powerful Earth Mage. However, he could still feel fear about them, especially after realizing they could create something this big.

No wonder this clan was one of the three great clans. Their homeland was great, their power was great, and their ancestors were great. How would they not be in their current position?

But of course, with all of these added together, they still made Lawrend proud. He had the bloodline of this powerful clan.

"Master, no flying in the city. Even Earth Mages are no exception. You will get us in trouble if you try," Ember said solemnly.

The change in her mood told Lawrend everything he knew. This place was not something to be underestimated. He was quite confident in himself, but it was another story if even Ember warned him.

"Bloodline test," the guard beside the gate said as he subtly glanced at them.

He seemed to be tired of his work, as he didn\'t even take it seriously. Lawrend scanned the guy with his elemental eyes.

An Earth Mage! Lawrend was taken aback. This was the first time he saw an Earth Mage as a guard in a city. They were seen as godly beings outside but were only guards inside the clan.

This situation explained to Lawrend why many opted to leave the clan and start their own branches. Living outside the clan was much more enjoyable than living such a life here.

Ember placed her hand on a small magic formation embedded in a stone post. The formation then glowed a faint red color before dimming again.

"Next."

Lawrend placed his hand, and it glowed a deep shade of red. The guard took a glance but quickly looked away after confirming it.

"Next."

Aleshia placed her hand this time. The magic formation glowed a pink color.

"Next."

"Huh?" Lawrend stared at Ember in confusion.

"That test is... a little perverted," Ember answered with a wry smile on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"It knows if someone had been inseminated by an Ignis Clan member. Thus, the guard knew that she was already a part of the clan even without being an official one."

Ember\'s face turned red. Talking about these kinds of things in public made her want to hide in shame, especially since someone could recognize her here. She didn\'t want to damage her reputation.

Decorum and etiquette were highly valued in the clan. It wasn\'t wrong to talk about the clan\'s magic formation, but it would still spark some nasty rumors.

"Wow! I wonder how it does that."

Lawrend became curious about this magic formation. He might have some use for it in the future. He took note of it in the back of his mind.

Soon, all of his maids and children were let through.

"How many Earth Mages are there in the city?" Lawrend asked.

"There are about a thousand Earth Mages. There are too many, so some of them take on the job of guarding the city gates. Besides, the clan pays everyone fairly. City guards are somewhat useless, but they were still highly paid because it was a show of strength to outsiders," Ember explained smugly.

No one would dare to invade the Ignis Clan. Even the two other great clans wouldn\'t dare to because this was their home turf. The Ignis Clan could defend very easily.

This was also one of the reasons why the three great clans had been the same for the past ten thousand years. No one was absurdly strong enough to invade them, and none of the three great clans suffered any decline.

For the other residents of the Primitus continent, they might as well be everlasting clans that wouldn\'t fall until the end of time.

"The Ignis Clan must be very rich then," Lawrend said.

He looked around, and the city stood out from every other city he had seen. Yes, that included the cities he had seen in his previous life.

The city was made with matte black obsidian and arranged in eye-catching structures. Some of them looked vaguely similar to Chinese pagodas and Japanese pagodas. The aesthetic was hard to explain as the buildings were unique.

"Wow. Where are we going next?" Lawrend asked.

"I will report to the clan that I\'m back. Let\'s leave them in a hotel," Ember said.

"There are even hotels here?"

"Yes. Sometimes clan members will bring outsiders, or some clan members simply want to live in another city," Ember answered.

"Sister Ember, what is that?" Aleshia asked and pointed at the burning fire high up above the city.

It was hard to spot as the dark clouds in the sky covered it. This fire had nothing to serve as its fuel while it floated in empty space. It burned a deep crimson red with a dot of white at the center.

Lawrend\'s other maids also looked up and stared at it curiously. It was hard to see from outside the city, but it was very obvious once inside.

"It acts as an artificial sun and a defensive magic formation. If the city is under attack, it will turn into a fiery dome than can absorb a Heaven Mage\'s full firepower."

The jaws of Lawrend, his maids, and his children fell wide open in shock. A magical defensive formation that could absorb a Heaven Mage\'s full firepower was unbelievable.

Even Lawrend only barely managed to make one and surround his Holy Sun Church with it. It took him a lot of hard work just to get it up and running.

"Come on. Let\'s go. There are plenty more interesting places in the city that you can explore later," Ember said as she urged them.
