What Klea just witnessed was a glimpse of a Domain, a manifestation of power that stemd from a high comprehension of the Law of Sovereign. Such a manifestation could normally be seen from individuals at the grand magus level or above.
For Julian, however, his Law of Sovereign ca from a unique source.
"It cos from the power of faith. The more people worship , the more power I will be able to manifest. It will be more powerful and I will be able to use it for longer."
This talent was precisely the reason the Nephilims were fond of him, even to the point that during his ti at the faction, they lent him a small planet for him to test his talent. There, he beca the god of their kingdom for a few months.
Hence, the reason he beca so much more powerful when he returned to the academy.
After explaining his power, Julian quickly added his goal to Klea.
"I don't need to be the sole ruler of the Earth. What I do need is for my na and my statutes to be spread all over the world. With how vast the Earth is, when all is said and done, I am confident I will be able to win against any one of the Kronos magus. That is my plan… what do you think?"
As those words left Julian's mouth, he continued to observe Klea's reaction.
Klea had actually read about it in the academy before. It was indeed a rare talent sought by many and the Nephilims' attitude towards it proved exactly that. Furthermore, just like her being a ruler of Egypt, it was normal for kings and queens to be worshiped like gods. And the fact that her friend could receive power through faith was certainly a good thing.
After analyzing the matter, she realized why Julian decided to show it to her. Klea's lips subconsciously ford a faint smile.
"All right, I will help you… it will be very hard with Thrax, but I could give a try to Ery and Chumo."
Julian's expression instantly lit up. He was so elated that, without thinking, he even ran up to hug her.
"Yes! Thank you, Klea! Thank you! You are the best!"
At this mont, Julian felt especially lucky to have such a supportive and understanding friend.
On the other hand, Julian's sudden hug caught Klea off-guard. Such a joyful mont was sothing Klea greatly sought. After a series of despair-inducing events, she wanted to embrace the warmth for a bit.
Though, it quickly beca awkward after a few monts, so she finally let go.
Being able to read the atmosphere, Julian imdiately understood. Still with a bright smile and even a hint of mischievousness on his face, the Roman diverted the attention back to the main subject.
"All right, let's discuss the details. We don't have much ti to lose!"
Klea was flabbergasted. "Julian… we have 20 years."
"Exactly! Too soon for an immortal, don't you think?"
…
Klea stayed in Ro for a few weeks helping Julian improve the academy. Being the current queen of Egypt and a higher-up in the Alexandria library, she was able to arrange for hundreds of important scroll copies and dozens of scholars to be sent to Ro with ease.
With so of the knowledge she saw during her ti at the Magus Academy, she helped build an institution beyond just an academy, a study for the advancent of the Earth's civilization.
First, she arranged to get what the academy desperately needed, the creation of ways to make studying much easier. A creation of papers and books.
All the scroll materials started to be switched from using animal skin to material from a plant called papyrus and started to be used for the study.
Next, she started researching better recipes for cent and concrete, ones that were stronger and could work best when subrged under water. This ultimately led to the creation of better roads, highways, bridges and aqueducts. A construct that could deliver water, the most basic of human needs, throughout the entire city.
Six months passed by in an instant. At this point, the academy construction had beco much grander, with thousands of students receiving the best quality of education the Earth could offer.
Witnessing the fruits of everyone's labor and their impacts on the lives of others, Klea could not restrain the smile of satisfaction on her face. She was initially feeling a little anxious because there was still no news whatsoever from Britain, but the sight of everyone's smiles as their lives turned for the better sowhat relieved it.
She couldn't help but heave a deep sigh as she talked to the cat that was always by her side.
"What do you think, Tivali? Is he getting better? Should I go visit him?"
The human-cat pair made eye contact for a bit, but of course, the cat did not respond.
Klea sighed again. Although the cat could more or less understand what this human was talking about, it's not very sane of a human to talk to a cat.
At this mont, her thoughts were no longer filled with the reconstruction project, she realized she had not seen Julian for a bit. In fact, it had been a week since the two last t.
"Let's go visit him." She happily said to Tivali.
The sun was almost set when she heard of Julian's whereabouts. To her surprise, she found that Julian had his own project; a building was recently constructed thanks to the aqueduct project.
It was called the Roman Bath House.
As she walked through the place, she was quite srized by its wonder, but once again, Klea found Julian in an awkward predicant. At this mont, the Protector of Ro was naked with a beautiful woman who Klea's knew was not his wife.
He was drinking and enjoying the fulfillnt of his bodily needs.
"Ahh, Klea, you are here!"
Yet again, the sa situation unfolded. Only this ti, Julian introduces the beauty as his third wife.
Seeing what Julian was doing while she was busy doing their project, she couldn't help but frown.
"Seriously… which part of this building helps advance civilization?"
Julian sent his third wife away with a smile, before replying to the question casually.
"On the contrary, this is what the world needs. This is what we need…".
Facing the Egyptian Queen's silent look filled with judgnt, the Roman Protector quickly added, "If you don't believe , co enter and join ."
