Lord of War

Void Palace, as the inner city of Oasis City, is about four to five hours away from the central square of Oasis City.

Of course, this refers to the time consumption when a normal person moves with his feet.

If the carriage travels at a normal speed, it will only take about three hours without considering the congestion.

After all, this is not a straight line movement between two points.

And for a strong person like Xiao En, if he flies directly from the air, it probably only takes...

a minute or so.

If the flying speed were faster, it might not even take thirty seconds.

The powerhouse at the pinnacle of legend is no joke.

After experiencing a high-speed flight that may seem like a blink of an eye to outsiders, but for Xiao En, it has been equivalent to a year's long flight, Sean finally landed lightly on a On the exposed balcony on the third floor.

Against the backdrop of a large amount of greenery, the entire Void Palace is like floating on an island in a green ocean.

The construction of the Void Palace is a complex of buildings full of retro European style. The tallest of these buildings is no more than five floors, and the shortest is only two floors. Although it seems that these buildings have nothing to do with each other, in fact, there is a secret passage under all the buildings. The underground network built by the secret passages connects the entire Void Palace.

It is none other than Xina's Cold Spider Legion who is responsible for digging these secret passages.

Of course, this is actually where Hina's real underground palace is located - the "Hina's Labyrinth" under the Fortress of Xiadi, which is actually just a defense mechanism deployment. The Crypt Cold Spider Queen who actually signed a magic contract with Hina , has also been secretly transferred here from the Black Swan Castle.

After all, although Hina is the leader of the Cold Spider Legion, she cannot produce underground cold spiders, so the Crypt Cold Spider Queen, the most core value of the entire Cold Spider Legion, must be placed in the safest place.

And in the entire Void Empire, is there any place safer than the Void Palace?

The answer is no.

Almost all the most elite people of the entire void empire are gathered here - including but not limited to the four giants of the void, the four small giants of the void, the top core circle generals, the garrison of the void crusaders, the garrison of Cecilia's guards, etc. .

Being allowed to obtain a residence in the Void Palace is already the highest standard reward in the entire Void Empire, and it is also the ultimate goal of faith for countless Void Empire officials.

As the dormitory of Phoenix Queen Cecilia of the Void Empire, according to the Void Empire law formulated by Neil, its standard specification can reach the building standard of a maximum area of ​​50 acres and a floor height of five floors. It is worth mentioning that, as the first emperor of the Void Empire, the founder of the Void, and the spiritual leader of the Void Empire, Sean's palace building standard has an oversized 300 acres and a building standard of up to seven floors.

The entire Void Palace actually covers an area of ​​1.8 million square meters, or 2,700 acres.

As the owner of the Void Palace, which is second only to Sean, the founder of the empire, Cecilia's bedroom occupies an area of ​​only about 1,000 square meters, and the floor height of the building is 1,000 square meters. three floors. And even if it covers an area of ​​1,000 square meters, nearly 600 square meters of it are garden green areas. In fact, there are only seven real buildings, covering an area of ​​less than 400 square meters.

Especially the house Cecilia lived in was only a small house of about 100 square meters.

Others may not know the symbolic meaning of this very simple-looking house, but Sean knows it very well.

It was a house in the small town of Hadas in the Sivirland of the Serian Kingdom.

When Sean and Cecilia were just two little mercenaries, Cecilia's dream was to own such a house—it was the second largest house in the small town of Hadas after the mayor's house. It is said that the original owner listed the house for sale because of financial problems in the business. But it is a pity that the 400 Serian gold coins that were offered for the house at that time were an unattainable sky-high price for Sean and Cecilia, who were just struggling on the line of food and clothing.

Sean had just returned to the Void Empire, so he naturally wouldn't know where Cecilia actually lived.

But when he saw this house, he already knew that Cecilia must live here.

So he landed here without the slightest hesitation, and then pushed open the French window door leading to the room from the balcony.

The lighting in the room is excellent, and the bright sunlight shines in through the brightly polished windows, making the whole room look very bright.

There is a small bookcase in the corner of the room, on which are some books of a relatively private nature, most of which are various knight novels, some of which Sean seems to have read through in his impression. read. And at the position slightly in front of the bookcase, there is a small low table and a recliner-style sofa that looks very soft at first glance. On the low table is a set of tea sets that are relatively common in the Qinas Empire.

A little different from the whole bright and tidy room is a desk in the other corner of the room.

There are countless parchments and some bound books spread out on this desk, and there are even several empty ink bottles, and a few quills are randomly thrown on it. The sharp-eyed Sean just scanned, and found that one of the parchment papers was densely packed with data, which seemed to be some kind of calculation formula, but this has never been Sean's area of ​​expertise, so he didn't know. Whether the result of this calculation formula has been obtained.

And in the middle of this half-order, half-chaos, there is a big bed with a shape that is obviously a bit out of specification.

It is like a watershed, separating the two completely different temperaments of the entire room.

As if knowing the result already, Cecilia leaned against the bed board, then looked slightly sideways at Sean who opened the French window on the balcony——she just watched Sean land on the balcony, then opened the door, and stepped forward. enter.

No matter what Cecilia's thoughts and emotions were before, at this moment, when she saw Sean stepping in, her heart was instantly peaceful.

On Cecilia's pale face due to weakness, there was a sincere and sweet smile from the heart, like a rainbow after the rain: "I'm back."

It was just a simple sentence, and Sean's mood became calm because of it.

In the past three years, he has fought and killed in the underground world for a long time, and countless bloody and murderous auras have entangled him-in that dark, naked jungle law society, there are only life-and-death wars and killings, and there will be no Thoughts of sympathy. Friends one second and enemies the next are the most common things that happen in the underground world. Even family members can't trust each other, let alone others.

So no matter whether Sean is willing to admit it or not, in fact, his heart has inevitably been covered with a layer of haze during these three years.

And most importantly, Sean's temperament does not match his current strength.

To put it simply, Sean's strength has increased so fast that his foundation is unstable—he relies on devouring the souls of the strong to make him possess the combat power of the fifteenth-level legendary peak. Perhaps relying on the superb technology and vision in the game that surpasses the natives of this world, Sean can still win most of the legendary peak powerhouses who are also at the fifteenth level. If he is a brave fighting maniac, or a true genius like Cecilia and Angel, or a god-favored person like Cefanio, then the best ending for Sean is to severely injure the enemy before he dies.

From the beginning to the end, Sean was not a so-called genius.

He could barely catch up with the geniuses in this world by relying on other means, and without these means, Sean would be nothing more than a slightly gifted powerhouse—perhaps, he would eventually be able to become a genius. He is a legendary peak powerhouse, but that probably requires more than a hundred years of hard work from him.

So at this moment, after seeing Cecilia, the crack in Sean's unstable mood caused by the rapid increase in strength finally stopped expanding.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and completeness rose in Xiao En's heart.

He nodded slightly, with a sincere smile on his face, and said, "Well, I'm back."

The private conversation between the most powerful figures in the Void Empire was as simple as it was when the two were mercenaries more than ten years ago.

It's as if Sean hasn't disappeared for three years, but just went out to work for a day and then came home from get off work.

Sean walked quickly to Cecilia's bed, then sat on the edge of the bed, stopping Cecilia who was trying to get up: "Before the injury heals, just stay there."

"This injury can't be healed by lying quietly on the bed." Cecilia pouted and hummed softly in a slightly coquettish voice, "I'm a little hungry now, I want to get up and eat. "

"I'll cook it for you." Sean shook his head helplessly.

"No." Cecilia suddenly protested loudly, "You can do nothing but cook chowder!"

Hearing this, Xiao En showed a bit of embarrassment on his face: "I don't have much time to study cooking."

"I've been very free recently, and I've cooked some good dishes while reading the cookbook. Let me cook for you." Cecilia seemed to have known Sean's answer for a long time, and she was very happy. Slightly smiled triumphantly.

"Are you sure it's an edible dish? It's not something like lizards or toads?"

"I'm a magician! Not a witch in a storybook!" Cecilia protested, her little face looking puffy.

She knew that this was Sean fighting back against her first cooking: some time after Sean saved Cecilia, tired of the duo living on dry food, Sean asked Cecilia to try to cook. But at that time, the only thing that the little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old made was a weak energy potion made from magic materials such as dried toads, lizard powder, blue mushrooms, and so on.

Looking at Sean who had a very wonderful facial expression at the time, Cecilia replied: "This thing can maintain the nutrition that a normal adult man needs for a day, and it can keep energetic. Compared with the traditional food intake of nutrients It is faster and more effective to maintain vitality."

After that, Sean was in charge of cooking every day with Cecilia: Even if he could only make a simple chowder, in Sean's opinion, this method was better than "witch soup" too much.

Talking about a little secret that only each other knew, Cecilia and Sean, who looked at each other for a moment, both let out a burst of laughter.

After a while, Sean got up: "I'll cook for you."

"Spicier." Cecilia said with a smile.

"It's not good to eat too much spicy food." Sean typically doesn't like spicy food, but Cecilia prefers to eat spicy food.

"Hmph, the person you miss very much now wants to eat spicy food. Only in this way can I feel better, so!" Cecilia emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "very missed", and then she I appreciated Sean's hasty and embarrassed expression because of this, "I just want to eat spicy food now!"

"Did you hear that?" Sean blinked.

"It's not just me, everyone in the Void Empire can hear it." Cecilia's eyes were very bright. If it wasn't for her pale and bloodless face, she wouldn't look like a sick person. "I I also specially recorded it with the Magic Illusion Stone... But the time of your speech this time is too short, Neil originally wanted to record the whole process, and then sell it as a commodity, in a sense As far as you are concerned, you ruined Neil's money-making plan."

"Damn Neil, I will definitely deduct his salary later!" Sean yelled angrily, "I just came back from the underground, and this unscrupulous consul has already started to use me as a tool to make money !"

"Sean." Seeing Sean who was shouting angrily, Cecilia suddenly said, "Am I really the one you miss the most?"

Sean originally planned to answer "When did it become a term like 'most missed'", but seeing Cecilia's face, Sean sat back on the edge of the bed closer to Cecilia, and chuckled Nodded: "Of course. In the past few years in the underground world, I have been worried about you. After all, when I left, you were still sleeping late. I am really worried about your well-being..."

Before Sean could finish speaking, Cecilia suddenly leaned towards Sean and kissed him on the lips.

However, it may be because Cecilia's movements are too fast, or it may be because of other reasons.

In short, this was supposed to be a beautiful scene, but it ended with Cecilia's cry of pain.

Because Cecilia's teeth collided with Sean's teeth, but there is no doubt as to whose teeth are stronger, a mage or a warrior. Feeling the bloody smell in her mouth, Cecilia knew that her lips must have been cut—but this was not the most difficult thing for her to accept. What really made her wish to die like this was that her face was full of astonishment. Sean quickly recovered, and then looked at himself covering his lips with a gloating expression.

Shame and indignation!

If it wasn't for the fact that the current body is so weak that it can only condense weak flames, Cecilia swore that she would definitely summon Solomon's seventy-two flames, and then ruthlessly blasted the joking Sean out of the way Face the wall!

Seeing Cecilia's blushing face, Sean stretched out his hand and gently opened Cecilia's hands covering his lips, and then reached out and gently wiped the blood on Cecilia's lips . His movements were gentle and careful. Feeling the warmth of Sean's fingers, Cecilia, who was originally full of shame and anger, quickly calmed down again.

Perhaps Cecilia's "injury" was not serious, or Cecilia's resilience as a strong person still existed, in short, the blood on her lips was quickly stopped.

"Sean..." Cecilia called out softly.

"En?" Sean looked at Cecilia, with a gentle smile on his face, "What's wrong?"

"I...I..." Seemed to be a little anxious, Cecilia hit me many times, but still couldn't say a complete sentence.

Looking at Cecilia, who was anxious and embarrassed, Sean reached out and gently stroked Cecilia's delicate face, and then he finally leaned forward and kissed her lips. (To be continued.)
