The old prince urged the marriage to be completed as soon as possible, and refuted Zhou Ming's excuse speechlessly.

However, Zhou Ming still refused to get married immediately on the grounds that "it is not suitable now and I am not psychologically prepared".

It would take at least another year or two for him to start thinking about marrying a queen.

"Boy, you-"

The old prince was a little angry, his hair was all open, his eyes widened, and he showed an angry expression...... As the master of a land of more than 30 million square kilometers and the supreme ruler of hundreds of millions of people, the momentum of the old prince is still very sufficient, and when he gets angry, his opponents often tremble.

But Zhou Ming was still unmoved, he still insisted on his plan...... The old prince's "domineering spirit" is too pediatric for him.

"Okay, boy, give you another year, and in a year, you must marry Elsa!"

The old prince put down a sentence, and seeing that Zhou Ming still didn't nod, his old face rose, and finally he had to snort and leave.

The fuse of a contradiction was buried.

……

months later.

One day in July.

In the imperial capital, at the door of a trade union organization located on the busiest street, two men and a woman walked out.

These three people are none other than the "Blue Hand" union headquarters, the Xiute team sent to the Orunian Empire to carry out the task of "finding the self-connected".

At this moment, they had just walked out of the branch of the "Blue Hand" in Orunia, and they all had a gloomy expression on their faces, and they were in a very bad mood.

I found a tavern nearby, ordered a few side dishes, sat down at the table, and they drank sullenly.

"It's been three years, we've been looking for three years, and so far we still haven't found anything, there are no clues, there is a vast sea of people, I guess we can't find the self-connector, or the information provided by the president is wrong, the self-linker is not in this empire at all. Atrem said as he took a sip of ale.

"No, the information provided by the president cannot be wrong. ”

Xiut shook his head: "Maybe the self-linker left the Empire, or maybe he was deliberately hiding and going around in circles with us. ”

"Anyway, I don't want to go any further, I plan to recuperate in this city for two years before going back to the guild headquarters. ”

Atran directly chose to give up, he has run enough in the past three years, he doesn't want to continue to run, as for whether the task can be completed, he doesn't want to care anymore, after all, no team can guarantee a 100% success rate of the task, there are many tasks, failure is very normal.

"I'm sure I'm going to keep looking, but I agree with your idea of resting in this city for a while, so let's stay here together for half a year, and let the members of the club help us find it first. ”

Xiut said, in fact, he is almost on the verge of giving up searching, and the reason why he is still insisting is because of the sense of responsibility in his heart.

"We just need to take a break. ”

Illiath, who was sitting next to Shut, also said.

It can be seen that in the past three years of searching for the mysterious "self-connected", the three-person team has been tired, annoyed, and frustrated.

Why is this happening?

How come everyone, including the most responsible captain, Shut, be discouraged?

The reason is that in the past three years, the huge empire of Orunia, the three-person team has searched back and forth three times, and has not let go of any corner, but it has not found the target.

Looked for it three times?

With an empire of 180 million square kilometers, how can a three-person team search back and forth three times?

Blue Eyes.

The level 4 support skill Blue Eye, once opened for omnidirectional scanning, can be seen clearly by magic network walkers within a radius of thousands of miles.

Because the blue eye can not only see the amount of blue power in the warlocks' bodies, but also the "soul string" connected to the magic net on the demon net walker...... As long as he is connected to the magic net "Blue Power".

In addition, in addition to the skill "Blue Eye", in the Orunia Empire, there are thousands of magic network walkers under the management of the "Blue Hand" branch, and Xiute has basically added friends, established a contact channel in the magic network, and the task of finding the self-connected person was also released to these thousands of magic network walkers.

As soon as someone finds something, the discoverer can immediately notify Xiut through the magic net and report what he has discovered.

In other words, Xiut and the others are not just three people looking for the self-connected, but more than 1,000 people are "networked" to search.

The combination of these two factors is not an exaggeration to search back and forth for the Orunian Empire three times in three years.

Even then, they got nothing.

For three years, they didn't find any clues that saw hope and excitement...... And even if it did, it quickly turned out that it wasn't.

So Atran, who was still a virgin, felt very desperate.

Captain Xiute's search strategy has also changed from "active searching" to "passive waiting", and his work attitude is quite negative.

But this is understandable, after all, they have run hundreds of thousands of miles in three years, and they are already physically and mentally exhausted, and they need to rest and adjust their state.

So they slowed down, rented a high-end apartment, hired a few servants to serve them, put their tasks aside for the time being, and took a vacation to enjoy the cultural scenery of the city, taste the food in the streets and alleys, bring shopping baskets, go shopping in the business districts, sit in various leisure places, and listen to all kinds of stories in this empire.

And of all the stories, the story about the young emperor of the empire, Noctis, was the most, and they could hear at least two or three a day, and the most day, they heard fifteen.

Why do you hear so much?

Because many stories are closely related and inseparable from people's daily lives.

For example, for breakfast, Hut prefers to eat a delicacy called "steamed buns...... It was invented by the emperor of this empire.

Atran is particularly fond of "Chaos" and "churros" and orders them almost every day...... They were invented by the emperor of this empire.

Illyas's favorite dish is the sweetened "tofu brain", which she thinks is the most genius delicacy...... This was also invented by the emperor of this empire.

There are also hundreds of delicious foods such as "stir-fried vegetables" and "soups" in the Chinese food series, and "noodles" and "cakes" in the dinner series...... All invented by the emperors of this empire.

In addition, the "four-wheeled carriage" to be used for travel, the "hot air balloon" flying in the sky, and the "floating boat" that has just been successfully tested for a short time...... It was also invented by the emperor of this empire.

In his daily leisure and entertainment activities, Schutte's favorite "chess", Atram's poker that he has to try his luck in the casino every day, and Illyasi, who gradually became famous in the mahjong circle of the upper class lady of the imperial capital, is currently very outstanding in mahjong skills...... All three of them were playing these "little games" invented by His Majesty the Emperor, who was only 15 years old named "Noctis".

After hearing too many stories about this emperor, Xiute and the others gradually became numb and no longer questioned, and at the same time, they also asked themselves a few questions:

Is this really true?

In this world, is there really a person who is born to know and is omnipotent?

Can a 15-year-old boy really be so talented as to bring hundreds of revolutionary innovations in more than a dozen unrelated fields?

Is this really a game of foolishness, or an official organized lie to deify the supreme figures?

Countless questions popped up in their heads, and countless conjectures were proposed.

But after half a month or so.

After seeing and hearing with their own eyes, as well as inquiring and investigating from all sides, and eliminating all speculations about "conspiracy theories", Xiu Tete and them finally accepted a reality:

In this world, there really is a young genius who knows everything, is omnipotent, and is almost demonic!

served.

For the emperor of this empire, Xiute they were completely convinced.

In the various inventions created by this emperor, he lived the so-called "well-off life", accompanied by food every day, various infrastructures became more and more convenient, and spiritual life was constantly satisfied...... It's like living in a "paradise city".

In this way, in this "carefree" life, Xiute their weight increased by an average of 5 pounds, and gradually forgot about the tasks they undertook.

However, on August 5th.

The message sent by a friend in the magic net suddenly shocked Xiute and the others:

"Xiut, I think I've found the self-connector you're looking for. ”

"What? you've found it, are you sure?" asked Hut excitedly.

"Yes, I'm pretty sure, and I've found not just one, but a whole 100!" the message from the man sounded.

"What?"

Xiu Te was taken aback!
