"Sir, Pike is back. m." A middle-aged man who looked like a butler pushed open the door of the study, came to the desk and whispered.

"Alone?" asked Kusin, scribbling earnestly on a map-like scroll, without looking up.

"Yes, I didn't see the eldest lady. The middle-aged man replied.

"Whew~" Kusin put down his pen when he heard this, leaned back in his chair and pinched his brows, and after a long exhale, he continued: "Let him in." ”

"Understood. The middle-aged man answered and withdrew.

"Your Excellency. After a while, Pike pushed open the door with the middle-aged man and walked in, his face looking a little paler than usual.

"Hurt?" asked Kusin, glancing at Pike.

"Thank you Lord Duke for your concern, it's just a minor injury, just take care of it for a few days. Pike replied with a forced smile.

"Do you need to recuperate for a few days, tell me, what's going on?" Kusin asked slowly, tapping lightly on his desk.

"It was originally quite smooth, but who would have thought that the boy actually broke through. Pike smiled wryly and recounted everything that had happened.

"Fiancé?, did Vivien tell you that?" asked Kusin after listening to Pike's story.

"That's right, but I think the eldest lady may have said that in a hurry to protect the boy. Pike replied.

"Did you just say that the boy was most likely a natural Saint Rank?" Kushin nodded, and then asked.

"It should be, otherwise his strength wouldn't have skyrocketed so much at once. Even if he was a genius, a warrior who had just been promoted to the Holy Rank, he couldn't defeat me so easily. Pike replied.

"Okay, got it. If you're hurt, I won't keep you any longer. When you get paid, go back and rest. Kusin said with a smile.

"But Lord Duke, my subordinates did not complete the task this time, and I really deserve it. Parker said with some trepidation.

"It's okay, it's not your responsibility for the failure of this mission, it's mainly that the information you were given was not accurate enough. Kusin said, waving his hand.

"The subordinates don't dare to shirk responsibility, it's just... Pike tried to say something more, but saw that Kushing had closed his eyes, so he had to shut up.

"Please come with me. The middle-aged man whispered beside Pike.

"Thank you, Steward Dean. Pike thanked the middle-aged man and followed him out of the study.

"Sir, Pike has already sent him away. After a while, the middle-aged man pushed open the study door again and walked in, saying.

"Hmm. Kushing replied vaguely, not opening his eyes.

"Master, do you still need to send someone over there?" the middle-aged man looked at Kusin and hesitated for a moment, but then spoke.

"Dean, Pike didn't succeed, who else can we send? If someone from that organization notices that a loophole has been exploited, then the matter is even more troublesome. Kusin said helplessly, opening his eyes.

"But sir, we can't just leave the eldest lady outside, can we?"

"Don't worry, it's not hard to hear from Pike's words that the kid is quite protective of Vivien. The saint-level warriors who can easily beat Pike, except for those old guys, I am afraid that there will be no one in the entire imperial capital. Vivien can have such a level of guard, what else do you have to worry about? Speaking of this, Kushin suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but laugh happily, "I didn't expect this girl to meet such a kid when she went out for the first time." Naturally break through to the Holy Rank, tsk, it seems that this Ai Jin Imperial Clan's qi is not exhausted!"

"Sir, what do you mean by this... Dean was puzzled by Kusin's abrupt words.

"It's nothing, go tell the kitchen and get me something to eat. After a busy day, I suddenly felt a little hungry. Kusin, who was suddenly in a good mood, stretched his waist and said with a smile to De'an.

"Understood, sir. Wait a minute, I'll go and inform the kitchen. Seeing Kusin like this, Dean stopped insisting and left the study in response.

"Otherwise, we'll have to go the other way. After breakfast, Vivien said with a bitter face, the news she had just heard from the inn was a little startled.

"Why? Didn't you say that taking it from the Heart of War was the closest way?" asked Ares, who was on the side.

"Didn't you just hear that? Those weirdos are really terrible, they don't say anything, they don't fear pain, they don't know every time, they are tireless, they are powerful. What if we encounter these weirdos after we enter the Battle Heart, so let's go another way, it won't be too far, I promise that we won't waste any time on the road after that, so we can still reach the Kosayse Mountains in no time. Vivien tugged at Ares' cuffs and said pleadingly.

"Didn't you swear yesterday that you wouldn't be afraid of any danger?" Ares asked with some amusement when he saw Vivien like this.

"Of course I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid. I just think those weirdos sound tricky, and if they get caught up in them, it will definitely take a lot of time. Instead of that, we might as well take a detour. Although this will increase the distance a little bit, it is better to have less trouble. As long as we hurry up and hurry, it will definitely be much faster than taking it from the heart of war. In the face of Ares's questioning, Vivien's mouth hardened.

"Since we are not afraid, let's take it from the heart of war. It's already here, and I'm too lazy to make any more detours. And I'm also interested in the organization called Adventism. Ares said with a smile.

"Why are you so stubborn, what are those Adventist guys interested in? If you really want to know anything about them, you can ask me. During this time, my father basically had information about them. My ears are almost calloused. So, let's take a detour, I happen to be on the way, I can tell you everything I know, so that the journey will not be too boring. Vivien glared at Ares and said.

"Forget it, I remember you said that you don't know much about the Adventistry. So I'll go and see for myself. Once again, Ares ruthlessly rejected Vivien's offer.

"Don't you believe me? I really don't know much about the Adventistry. But I know more than you see along the way. Besides, you heard the words of those who escaped from the Battle Heart Territory in the inn just now. The people of that organization seem to have mastered a way to create some kind of weirdos, so there must be a lot of weirdos. Your strength has increased dramatically now, but it is impossible for you to deal with so many Holy Ranks at the same time. Aren't you in a hurry to find your friends? How can you delay time in such a thing? In the face of Ares' repeated refusals, Vivien was really a little angry, and stopped in front of him and glared at him.
