"Haha, I, Maximian, have never put these things in my eyes, I only care about one thing, do you want to hear about it? Maybe you'll be interested. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info?huoran?text?? w?w?w?.?r?a?n?w?e?n'" The Grand Duke seemed to have known Xia Zhe's temperament for a long time, and brought him into his routine in just a few words.

"No, and I've never intended to return all the things I've won. Xia Zhe decisively interrupted the topic of the Grand Duke.

Facing Xia Zhe who didn't play according to the routine, the grand duke was not angry, he just turned around slowly, and his deep eyes pressed towards the otaku with endless power.

It's a pity that time passed minute by minute, and it wasn't until Xia Zhe was a little impatient that the Grand Duke stopped his meaningless behavior.

"Above the limit......" the Grand Duke said lightly.

However, Xia Zhe didn't understand what the other party meant at all, "What is above the boundary, does it have anything to do with this boundary stone?"

Xia Zhe took the transparent stone and looked at it over and over.

"Interesting...... Don't you even know what you've reached? Isn't it a good thing to live in a vague way? ”

"S-class, obviously. Xia Zhe replied as a matter of course.

Listening to the otaku's casual answer, the Grand Duke suddenly felt that all the previous investigations of Xia Zhe were still not detailed enough. This young man is not only lazy, but also very simple, with almost no superfluous thoughts. But maybe it's because it's simple and without impurities, so he can reach that state at such a young age.

"Above the threshold is a clear standard for all S-grades, and if you don't meet this standard, in fact, five years ago, you were not qualified to be called S-class. ”

"Therefore, a large part of the S-class that people are widely familiar with today are pseudo-S-class, or it is more appropriate to call them S-class. ”

Xia Zhe listened to the old man's words and didn't understand why the other party said this to him, but out of the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, Xia Zhe decided to listen to what the other party wanted to express first, after all, he had received such a valuable gift from others.

"Do you know why we've relaxed the definition of S-class?" the Grand Duke paused slightly.

Xia Zhe nodded, "Destroyer of the Realms." ”

"I think you heard about it five years ago. It's not quite, although it's an important trigger. The Grand Duke seemed to think of something, and closed his eyes a little tiredly, "Actually, the countries and major organizations on the continent now are in great need of strong people to continue their lives, and the only thing that can deter everything is the topmost title S-rank." ”

Saying this, the Grand Duke suddenly opened his eyes, and an indescribable aura of domineering even mixed with the wind blowing in his face.

"Today's human society seems to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact it is very weak on the inside...... And there will be even more decay in the future, which is almost an irreversible torrent at this stage. ”

According to records, as early as a hundred years ago, the number of strong people with names and surnames in human society began to decrease year by year, until now even those ridiculous B-level and C-level can be called strong, and this was an unimaginable scene a hundred years ago. ”

"Judging from the magic images left in the past, at that time, the preparation of the S-level could only be regarded as having just embarked on the path of the strong, and only above the limit could be qualified to be called a strong. ”

"And the main culprit of the decline of mankind is the war and division that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, so that countless talented young people have been sent to the battlefield by boring hatred, and before they have shown their light, they will become a cold corpse. ”

"Moreover, in the face of the increasingly terrible threat of calamity, humanity is still stuck in boring infighting, immersed in false glory, and has made no progress at all, which is really stupid. ”

Looking at the Grand Duke, who suddenly became angry, Xia Zhe seemed to understand something that could be seen by the old man in front of him.

"So, what you want is the whole world?"

"Heha, I like your guess very much, but are you sure you want to listen to me continue? I've heard the rest of the story, and you want to say no, but it's not so easy, although it's powerful above the boundary, it's not so rare that it's just you. "It's the first time the Grand Duke has been so patient with a person, and even he doesn't know why.

Is it because this young man has no ambition? I have never seen such a simple person.

The Grand Duke suddenly felt that only such a person was the one who could really be a friend, and if his own career had his help, then it should be no longer a problem to recreate the Empire in the magic guide image.

"Then forget it, if you know too much, you will be killed. Actually, I thought you were looking for me to understand the matter of Dani, after all, the princess of the empire who ran away from home and ran to the Duchy of Etis is more or less a big deal. But what you're saying now is beyond what I can accept, so the conversation can be over. It felt completely different from what he expected, so Xia Zhe took the initiative to end the topic and planned to go to Alwin and them.

However, just as Xia Zhe refused the other party again because of trouble, the old man suddenly walked in front of Xia Zhe and said to Xia Zhe very solemnly.

"Xia Zhe, come and help me, I need you. ”

"Huh?!...... What's the matter, I don't even know your name, how can I help you, besides, I'm very afraid of trouble, I know when I look at you, you must be busy with something earth-shattering, day and night, that kind of life is not suitable for me. So, I'm sorry. ”

Xia Zhe took a few steps back with a confused expression, the development of things was too abrupt, how could the Grand Duke who had only met once fall in love with him? Is it just because he has strength? And is this progress too fast?

Xia Zhe didn't know why this majestic grand duke suddenly said something like that, but this did not prevent him from having a good habit of running away when he encountered trouble.

Therefore, when he saw that the old man was still planning to get close to him, Xia Zhe shouted, "Look, there is a flying saucer." In an instant, only a vague afterimage remained in the same place.

For a long time, the solitary Grand Duke of the Pit Viper looked at the stars in the sky with an expressionless face, and called out a name faintly, "Tadimoch." ”

"What commands, my master? Suddenly, an old man dressed in a black butler's uniform appeared behind the Grand Duke with a bent over.

"From now on, you are responsible for all the information about Xia Zhe, and as for those useless intelligence officers, you can handle it yourself. ”

"Yes, my lord. "The old butler, bent over, disappeared behind the Grand Duke.

……

"Xia Zhe, I hope you don't let me down...... It's not just you, the Blood Successor girl, I really want to get it. (To be continued.) )
