Frostleaf City, Governor's Palace.

On the high tower on the north side of the governor's palace, the old man was half-kneeling on the ground, his head bowed.

"Please condemn your sin. "The old butler's old body looks extraordinarily thin.

"Uncle Liu, get up quickly. The King of the Southern Realm hurriedly helped the old man who was kneeling on the ground to his feet, "Aren't you tormenting me?"

"My subordinates have failed to live up to His Highness's expectations and trust, I ......" The old butler's expression was particularly gloomy.

"It's no wonder Uncle Liu for all this, the Dark Palace's actions this time are too sudden, even if I am in the Governor's Palace, I am as powerless as you. The King of the Southern Realm sighed.

"However, Frostleaf City has killed hundreds of thousands of people in this disaster, and there are countless injuries, and someone must be held responsible for this incident. The old butler's face was full of bitterness, "Please condemn your highness." ”

The King of the Southern Realm hesitated slightly for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, "Then Uncle Liu, you can retire with peace of mind." Blame me for not letting you, who are too old, take over this responsibility. ”

"The subordinates are guilty. ”

The King of the Southern Realm looked at the back of Xiao Suo, the old butler who was gradually moving away, but a smile was imperceptible on his face.

The punishment he gave to the old butler seemed insignificant, but in fact, it cut off the old butler's [control] over the Governor's Palace. The old butler is highly respected and has great authority in the current management of the Governor's Palace, and although he has retired, a [staff group] with him as the source has divided a lot of power, and this staff group can even threaten his position to a certain extent.

There is nothing wrong with the old steward's handling of this disaster, but when the disaster occurred, he was the highest decision-maker in the entire Governor's Palace, so most of the responsibility for this disaster rested with him.

Therefore, the authority of the old butler will be greatly reduced after this disaster, and the punishment of the king of the southern realm is to let the old butler [retire], this retirement is more comprehensive, that is, the old butler will not be allowed to meddle in the affairs of the governor's palace for any reason, so that the staff group headed by the old butler will be leaderless, and it will be easy to clean up after a while.

After the old butler left the tower, a black flame was equivalent to giving the King of the Southern Realm a good opportunity, and the crack opened slightly behind the King of the Southern Realm, and a man with a mask on his face stepped out of the crack.

"Your Highness. The person who came knelt down respectfully and saluted, "The person who escorted the Holy Son back to the imperial capital has already decided, and will be escorted by [Wind Lord] Han Long. ”

The eyes of the king of the southern realm were set to the north, the handsome and noble heavenly horse had already taken off, and if he was escorted by Han Long, he was not afraid that Su Qiran would escape halfway or have some accidents.

"Your Highness, do you want to send that Su Xiaoxiao back to Sword Mountain?" the masked man suddenly asked.

"Send it, we don't need to provoke Sword Mountain. The Southern Realm King's eyes were gloomy, "What's more, do you think that if you don't send Su Xiaoxiao back to Sword Mountain, the people of Sword Mountain will really not know about the return of the Holy Son?"

"The subordinates listen to the order. The masked man bowed slightly, and was just about to walk into the crack behind him that had not yet dissipated, when he suddenly turned around as if he remembered something and said, "Chu family Chu Qiu asks to see." ”

"......" The King of the Southern Realm looked at the subordinate who was writing a little speechlessly, "Can't you finish the report in one go?"

"I just remembered. The masked man said a little embarrassed.

“...... Ay. The King of the Southern Realm sighed helplessly, his subordinate was a low-level Shura, but he had an extremely terrifying talent for Void Stealth, but his brain was sometimes a little pumped.

"Bring him here. ”

"Yes!" the masked man turned and entered the crack behind him.

The spiraling staircase and the few windows that let in the light only bring a simple glow.

In this silent, closed tower, every step brings the sound of steady footsteps. "Knock, knock, knock......"

Chu Qiu had been gone for a long time, and his mood was becoming more and more depressed, and the dim environment made people a little uncomfortable. Suddenly, the staircase that had been repeating itself was suddenly replaced by a large door.

Without any effort, Chu Qiu pushed open the door in front of him.

The field of vision suddenly widened, with blue skies and floating white clouds...... A stone's throw away!

The previous depression suddenly dissipated without a trace, and Chu Qiu only felt a burst of comfort all over his body.

"Isn't that a great feeling?" said the King of the Southern Realm with a smile.

"Hmm. Chu Qiu took a deep breath, his brain was exceptionally clear, "Your Highness." He knelt down and saluted.

"No need to be polite, I have accepted the credit for the Vault Project for you, as you requested. The King of the Southern Realm waved his hand and said.

"Your Highness. ”

"Actually, I care a lot, aren't you really distressed? The reward given by Your Majesty is enough to raise your Chu family to a higher level. The King of the Southern Realm asked curiously.

"This reward is not [sugar] but [poison] for the current Chu family, and the Chu family does not have the strength to keep this reward. ”

"Hahaha, I like to associate with smart people. The King of the Southern Realm suddenly laughed.

Suddenly, the playful expression on the face of the King of the Southern Realm suddenly stopped, and he looked at Chu Qiu with an unusually serious look.

"I have a top-secret mission for you, do you dare to take it?"

Chu Qiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled.

"Your Highness refers to the war against the Cloud Empire?"

The King of the Southern Realm was stunned.

"Where did you get the news?"

"Guess. Chu Qiu said with a smile. The King of the Southern Realm was silent for a while, and his evaluation of Chu Qiu in his heart rose to another level.

"It's indeed a war against the Cloud Empire, and I would like to recommend you to become the general of a legion. Do you dare to take it?"

It took Chu Qiu a long time to calm down his excitement, "Why don't you dare!?"

This is what he was waiting for!

Land of Chaos, Kitashino Castle.

There are people coming and going on the street, but whether it is the decoration style of the buildings or the living customs of the people, they are different from the Xingzhu Empire.

The biggest feature here is that it can't.

There is no legal constraint, and some are just the simplest [the jungle eats the strong].

On the edge of a fruit stall, a handsome young man was not in a hurry to pick the fruits that were very popular in this season, and the little girl who set up the stall kept her eyes on this young man who had been picking fruits for a long time.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she wondered if this good-looking and temperamental young man had taken a fancy to her.

Otherwise, how could you pick fruits here like this?

The girl's heart was pounding, and her mind was already irrepressibly fantasizing......

A man with a hat suddenly approached the fruit stand. Stop in front of this young man with a dusty temperament.

"You are Qin Tian, a first-level sword god?"

"Hmm. Jian Ling Tian nodded slightly.

"Very good, escort me to [Youlan City]. ”

"What about the pay?"

"I have two of the white star grass you want. ”

"Deal. A smile bloomed on Jian Ling Tian's face.

"Good. The man in the hat looked relieved.

“...... Where's Youlan City?"

“......”
