Lord of War

In Cecilia's private boudoir, because the windows are made large enough, it has excellent lighting: in the morning, the whole room can be bathed in the morning light; at night, the moonlight can also shine Let the atmosphere of the whole room become very holy.

It is probably because the blood in Cecilia's body has awakened to the fifth stage, so her preferences and personality have also changed a lot—at least, in Sean's previous cognition, Cecilia did not Like someone who likes this kind of holy light. On the contrary, she prefers to hide in a dark environment to study her knowledge of magic, and she often stays in a dead house for several days.

But at this moment, although it was indeed midnight, the whole room was still bathed in light.

It's not that the weather is abnormal, but that the entire Oasis City is still caught in the carnival of Sean's return at this moment: those magical fireworks that continue to shoot into the sky reflect the entire Oasis City as if it were daytime.

Sean carefully tucked the quilt for Cecilia.

Seeing the sweet smile still on Cecilia's innocent face, the corners of Sean's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Today, he and Cecilia had a wonderful day together.

Perhaps it was because Sean kissed Cecilia, this little guy was in a dazed state of brain shutdown all day, no matter what Sean said, she would only nod. So, she still didn't complain after eating two meals of mixed stewed meat, and the taste was still a bit bland, not the spicy one she was longing for.

In the end, under Xiao En's soft coaxing, he went to bed early to rest.

And Sean also waited quietly in this room. He didn't put down the parchment in his hand until he was sure that Cecilia's breathing became stable and fell asleep completely.

These dense calculation formulas on the parchment, in today's conversation between Sean and Cecilia, he already knew the content recorded above.

It can be said that Sean's ability to return early has a great relationship with these calculation formulas.

When they first went on an expedition to the surface world in the underground world, they invested a considerable amount of man-made products on the surface—for example, today's cave demons, human-faced spiders, underground magic insects, and so on. However, after the failure of the expedition, these man-made products also escaped into the ground one after another, so in a long period of historical cognition, the residents of the surface world have always believed that these creatures emerged from the underground world.

Although in a sense, these products are indeed the vanguard of the underground world invading the surface world—in fact, these man-made products all have a positioning coordinate system.

The biggest function of this positioning coordinate system is to facilitate the people in the underground world to determine the coordinates of the surface, so that they can accurately open the portal of the abyss path and transport the army from the underground world.

From a certain known system, the biggest function of the cave devil is to build the path of the abyss; and the value of the underground devil is to dig out a space of sufficient scale to facilitate the path of the abyss to pass through the most difficult stable stage in the early stage .

But it is a pity that today's underground world seems to have lost the command ability of positioning and transmission, so these products left in the underground of the surface world are in a state of confusion: they have forgotten their mission , leaving only the purest survival instinct.

Cecilia discovered this secret by coincidence, and completed the reverse derivation of the portal of the Abyss Path based on the genetic coordinates carried by these creatures. Through this inverse calculation formula, Cecilia easily completed the power demand for the reverse control of the abyss path portal under the Fortress of the Canyon - at least saving more than 70% of the energy transmission demand.

If the Void Empire is given another two years, then if the portal is forcibly opened, it can directly transmit an entire army into it, or a super strong person—even if the upper limit force is forcibly increased, the A powerhouse of Kozilek's level would not let Cecilia pay such a heavy price if he teleported there.

However, Cecilia, who was extremely eager to find Sean, couldn't wait for another two years.

After understanding Cecilia's efforts over the years, Sean was naturally very moved.

If it wasn't for him, Cecilia wouldn't have fallen into such a state of serious injuries because of this—Cecilia's current strength is not as good as a tenth-level sanctuary powerhouse, let alone a legend realm. Although she has the amount of knowledge and related magic skills equivalent to that of a fourteenth-level legendary powerhouse, her magic power fluctuations are extremely unstable, and her current physique is even so fragile that she is not much stronger than a silver master.

After confirming that Cecilia had fallen into a deep sleep, Sean got up and left the small house.

A team of Cecilia's guards who happened to be patrolling past saluted Sean, but after the salute, the team continued to patrol and did not stop because of Sean's presence.

Sean didn't care much about this.

Because he knew that Cecilia's Guards were an army loyal only to Cecilia. Even if he was the emperor of the Void Empire, he didn't actually have the authority to order this army. Cecilia is the only one who can really command this legion, and whether it is Clover or the commander of Apollo who has now surrendered to the Void Empire, in fact, he only obeys Cecilia.

Heatley had been waiting outside the door for a while, and only after seeing Sean's appearance did she greet him.

"Levi's life is not in danger, but he is really not suitable for the battlefield in a short period of time. You leave him in the underground world... is it okay?" Heatley looked very tired, but given that she often had to Running on both sides of the underground world and the surface world, so this tired look is a normal reaction.

Rather, if Cecilia is not the saint of the goddess of life, I am afraid there is no way to have such a powerful life function that can support her to go back and forth between the two planes.

"Alexis is currently in the underground world, and those guys dare not make trouble. Levi's current role is more to maintain overall stability, and it is a spiritual symbol." Sean replied, "I have a heart Let him come back, but Alisa won't agree... She will never let Levi leave her sight for more than a minute."

Heather sighed helplessly.

Heatley was noncommittal about Sean's evaluation. In other words, she has known for a long time that the so-called high-level people in the Void Empire have various problems and problems, and even herself, including herself, has extremely peculiar mental problems. However, only Sean can tolerate their problems, and even trust them completely, instead of establishing a mutual surveillance and trial mechanism.

It is precisely because of this that Sean is the spiritual leader of everyone in the entire Void Empire.

"How is Cecilia?" Sean asked.

"The source is injured, and it is not so easy to recover." Heatley replied, and she has said this answer to countless people these days, "At least, I don't have any good solutions....Maybe, there are only legends Only the buds of the world tree in the tree can be completely restored in a short period of time."

The buds of the world tree, according to legend, when the world was born, nine hundred and ninety-nine seeds grew from the tree because it absorbed a lot of the world's original power. As long as these seeds are stimulated with a little vitality, they can germinate and grow immediately. After a series of careful cultivation, these germinated seeds can grow into a tree of life and become a shelter for the elves.

And these buds stimulated by vitality are the buds of the world tree.

A world tree can only produce up to nine hundred and ninety-nine seeds that are closely related to itself, that is, nine hundred and ninety-nine shoots of the world tree.

But at present, in the entire Miracle Continent, the tree of life with the best development trend is the fourth-order tree of life—whether it is the elf empire in the outback, or the wild land, or even the forest of deep knowledge in the underground world. If the tree of life wants to transform into the world tree, it must wait for the tree of life to progress to the fifth level and complete the entire stage of growth before it can initiate growth and transformation into the world tree.

Based on the current development trend, even the Tree of Life of the Outland Elf Empire will take at least a thousand years to develop into a World Tree.

After thousands of years, Cecilia has already recovered, so there is no need for the buds of the world tree.

"If you inject the power of the source..."

"I'm not sure." Heatley hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "After all, no one has ever tried this before....The trauma of the original power is not so easy to recover. But Cecilia is still very Young, so there is still a great chance to regain the top."

"What I need is not a big chance, but a more definite result." Sean sighed softly, "If it wasn't for me..."

"You'd better not show such an expression in front of Cecilia." Seeing Sean's expression, Heatley immediately interrupted him, "Your expression is denying Cecilia. Effort and value will only make her more sad."

"I see." Sean was stunned for a moment, but he nodded quickly, "It's true that I didn't think well."

Heatley didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

For some words, she only needs to be reminded once, and it is meaningless to say too much. And Hitley believes that if it wasn't because only Cecilia's Phoenix blood could interfere with the space ability, I am afraid that it would not be Cecilia who paid the price for maintaining the stability of the portal's space, but Cecilia. Others—whether voluntarily or forcedly, more than 20 legendary powerhouses gathered in the underground research institute at that time, and this combat power is no joke.

"So... what are your plans next?" Heatley asked.

"What plan?" Sean was a little puzzled.

"The development of the Void Empire has been completely stabilized, especially after your return, and now no one will be stupid enough to continue trying to overthrow the Void Empire." Hitley is now considered the core high-level personnel of the Void Empire, so about the Void Empire He is naturally very clear about the policy, "According to Neil's decision, it will take at least 30 years for the Void Empire to be fully developed and perfected. What he means is that it is best to spend these 30 years smoothly. Celia, William, and Hela are also very supportive of this decision, after all, the Void Empire is really not suitable for causing trouble everywhere."

"Does the tree attract the wind?" Sean nodded slightly.

According to the current situation, the development idea of ​​the Void Empire is indeed best to enter a period of peaceful development. After all, as long as the development period of 30 years has passed, the entire Void Empire will completely enter a state of rapid development, and then it will be considered completely. The entire Miracle Continent gained a firm foothold and became a real continental empire.

"But before that, there is one more trouble to be resolved." Sean said, "The last... trouble."

Heatri knew what Sean was talking about, she nodded, and said: "The priests are already ready and ready to go at any time."

Sean seemed to be planning to say something else, but his brows were raised slightly, and the words changed into: "I see. Thank you, Heathery... Although the carnival in Oasis City is still there, but the Void Palace It's relatively quiet here, so you should rest early."

"Okay." Heaterly nodded, "I've been living in this manor recently, if you need anything, just call me." Having said that, Heaterly snorted a little dissatisfied : "Originally, I was supposed to live with Cecilia, because you came back, so I had to move out."

Sean smiled and rubbed Heately's head lightly: "I will donate one million gold coins to your temple, are you satisfied?"

"That's about the same." Although Heatley is still not satisfied, but thinking that she is no longer just a saint now, she also needs to worry about the source of funds for her temple, so she can only give up.

After seeing Heatley turn and leave, the moment Sean turned around, the smile on his face completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a look of frost and killing intent.

He opened the door and stepped into Cecilia's house.

Cecilia's dormitory is on the third floor, and a few limited rooms are also on the third floor; the second floor has been transformed into a huge library, and the entire floor is filled with all kinds of magic books. On the first floor, there is a living room, which is also used as Cecilia's meeting place. In addition, there is a trigger and four maid bedrooms-these four maids have the strength of the golden level, It is a protector who is specially selected from the void and is proficient in assassination and anti-assassination methods.

But now, the four maids have fallen into a coma, and I'm afraid they won't wake up in a short time.

Sean stood in the living room, and he didn't turn on the lights—in fact, he didn't need to turn on the lights. Within the range of his perception, there was an extremely tyrannical person sitting in the living room. But the strange thing is that only he can feel the aura emanating from the other party. Even Heatri, who has also stepped into the legendary realm, is even standing at a distance of less than thirty meters from the other party. Also completely unaware of its existence.

"Who are you?" Sean asked in a deep voice.

He knew that the other party had let him find out on purpose, because when he was standing at the door just now, the imminent aura of the other party obviously carried a strong hint and warning. It was also because of this that Sean sent Heather away, and then faced the unknown visitor in front of him alone.

In view of the fact that the other party has such a powerful aura and stealth means that cannot be noticed by outsiders, it is naturally not surprising that the patrolling Cecilia Guards did not find this person.

It's just that what Sean can't forgive is that he didn't even find out how this person sneaked into Cecilia's house. If the other party wanted to harm Cecilia...

Thinking of this, Sean's heart shuddered.

"I'm not as nasty as you imagined." As if sensing Xiao En's thoughts, the other party smiled, "I'm just here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Sean frowned slightly, "Who the hell are you?"

Although I don't know why, but when the other party speaks, there is a very subtle aura. In this kind of aura, Xiao En could clearly perceive that the other party had no hostility, and his inner vigilance relaxed for some reason, and he seemed to have a slight friendly feeling towards the other party all of a sudden.

"My name is Xu Qing." (To be continued.)
