In the autumn of the Empire, the weather has turned cooler, but fortunately the sun is shining, and there is not much cold in the mountains, and occasionally yellowing leaves fall from the treetops.

Two girls walked along the path.

"Climb over this mountain bag, and it's your territory." Lin Na laughed.

Not only the castle was given to the girl, but also several important places around the castle. A small town called Ansel, inhabited by thousands of inhabitants; a modest training ground for soldiers; Two farms, a mine and a small lumberyard. In terms of wealth alone, it is very good in the northern part of the empire.

"Xiaowei, how much do you know about managing the territory?" The girl asked.

"My mother has been pushing me to learn about territory, but my energy is mainly used in spells," Vivi said humbly through the Phantom Ring, "so I'm not good at it." ”

"I understand. I'll learn too. The girl said. She is confident in her ability to learn. With the far-sighted economic common sense of modern people, the girl also has the self-confidence to do better than most ordinary aristocrats. Unfortunately, she is not destined to spend most of her time on this kind of thing right now.

"You might as well start with your father...... I mean, my adoptive father hired some people to help you manage the territory," said Linna, "and it was under his direct jurisdiction for many years. You must know that our Duchy of Yangyan City is the richest among the four principalities in the north of the empire, and the law and order is also the best. There was pride in her tone.

Ha. It seems that in this little girl's heart, the duke is still closer...... In her heart, the girl lit a candle for Lin Na's own father, the emperor.

"Law and order...... The road is not closed, the road is not forgotten? ”

"That kind of imperial capital can't do it! Evil creatures such as goblins have not appeared in many years, and even the occasional small group of bandits who wander from outside the country are hiding in places like ravines and caves. ”

"That's ......"

The girl was thoughtful. The two of them slowly descended the mountain along a trail. At the foot of the mountain, the shadow of the lumberyard is already looming.

"Xiaowei, you can set up a teleportation beacon behind there," the girl pointed to a large rock in the distance, "I don't want to be watched." Linna, help me keep a sentry? ”

"Oh." Lin Na said happily, not putting on the shelf of the imperial princess at all.

……

The sky was clear, and the occasional nameless white bird skimmed the sky.

"It's finally done." Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Na glanced up at the sky. It's already sunday.

"For so long," she said, glancing suspiciously at the gray circle underground, which looked like a child's graffiti, "the beacon that teleports spells, that's it?" It feels like the next rain will be gone. ”

"You know what?" Xiaowei was particularly tough when it came to arcane-related questions, "You can try." Unless you pull out your secret weapon, don't try to burn it. ”

"I'm more concerned about where we go to rest than that," the girl's voice rang through the Phantom Ring, "I thought we'd be able to complete all the beacons today. Looks like I'm thinking too much. ”

"That's a lot of speed!" Xiaowei said.

"We can use the flying ones," Lin Na suddenly had an idea, "the two of us spread the wings of flames......

"Stop," the girl said to Linna's gushing, "First of all, I just didn't want to attract attention, so I chose to go on foot. And it's tiring to set this thing up. Xiaowei's spirit will not be able to bear it. ”

"Yes," Linna moved her ankle, "I'm a little numb just standing there." ”

"Besides, I don't want to camp," said the girl, "and we're not ready to camp at all." ”

"How about a rest at the lumberyard?" Lin Na sighed.

Actually, she likes camping......

Meanwhile.

Phoenix, the imperial capital of the Grecian Empire.

This is an ancient castle built on a hill. The silvery-white majestic city walls are gilded with a hazy gold at sunrise and sunset; The wide marble-paved pavement is filled with horse-drawn carriages and people, presenting a scene of prosperity.

If you climb up the trail and pass by the houses built at the foot and on the slopes of the mountain, you will find a splendid palace, the seat of the highest power of the Greccia Empire and the residence of His Majesty the Emperor.

It is said that the lord of the empire, who built the palace, had intended to name the palace after the first emperor, but in the end it was called the Heavenly Dome Palace.

The so-called "Sky Dome"...... It is the name of the first secret weapon ever found on the Cloud Continent, and it is also the secret weapon used by two of the greatest emperors in the history of the Empire. So far, there have only been three masters of the "Heavenly Dome", and in terms of the strictness of the selection of masters, only a few legendary secret weapons such as the "Bright World" can be compared with it.

It is said that in that hollow Phoenix Mountain, there are hidden endless wealth accumulated by successive emperors, as well as many secrets of the empire. But no one can confirm this.

The highest place in the Heavenly Dome Palace, the main hall.

A handsome man with long black hair and light blue pupils slowly walked into the majestic hall. Dressed in a red cloak embroidered with royal insignia, a white gown with a gold lining, and a long whip wrapped around his waist, he had a beautiful face and a detached demeanor, almost giving the impression that men and women were indistinguishable.

The man walked into the palace like this, and although the guards standing on both sides of the palace gate were all secret soldiers, no one seemed to notice his presence.

"Your Majesty." The man walked into the palace and saluted the golden-robed middle-aged man standing in the hall.

"Victor," the Emperor nodded, "you're here." No need to be polite. ”

Victor stood up. His temperament is soft, but not at all evil.

"Victor, I called you here this time to let you meet the 'Light World'." The emperor's expression was serious, but his tone was very gentle. On weekdays, the emperor is extremely majestic in the face of his subjects, and the only people who can make him kind and pleasant are Empress Liqinda, a few children, and a few people such as Duke Hewell, a friend of life and death.

The Victor in front of him is from a low-level aristocratic background, and among the young secret warriors of the current empire, he is the only one who can be compared to the "Prince Dimito, Princess Albina, and Princess Caterina", so His Majesty the Emperor also gave him the right to wear the royal insignia, and Prince Dimitio regarded him as a brother.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to entrust me." Victor said elegantly.

"Duke Hywell and Princess Katerina have returned to the Empire," said the Emperor, "and have brought back a new master of the Bright World." Duke Hywell had given her a barony as a domain, but it was only a personal gift from the duke...... You go to see her and convey the royal will. As the heir to the "Bright World", I will allow her to wear the royal insignia. Just awakened is a genius secret warrior of the blue sky level, and he must be befriended. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Victor himself could not help but feel a little complicated in his mind after his hard work to be given the privilege of wearing the royal insignia, "with all due respect, His Highnesses Dimiteao and Albina are better suited for this task than me. ”

"In terms of relationships, Lin Na is a good friend of the new 'Bright World', why don't you mention her name?"

"Just because we're friends, we shouldn't get too involved," Victor said, "what's more...... Her Royal Highness Katerina, she doesn't have much of the consciousness of an imperial princess. ”

"You're right," the Emperor nodded slightly, "but at the moment Dimiteo and Bina are not in the country, Victor, this is up to you." ”

"None of them are in the country?" Victor was a little surprised, he had seen His Royal Highness in the palace the day before yesterday.

But he reacted quickly.

"I see," he said, without asking more, "I'll get the job done." ”

"They went to the Elrios Legal, Victor," His Majesty the Emperor said, confirming Victor's guess, "the Legalist is the titular suzerainty of the Black Floating City after all. We are at peace with Palamedes, and we must give an account to Elrios. ”

"I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness Bina has 'private affairs'." Victor laughed. Her Highness Bina's lover is none other than the Elrios. There are only a few people in the world who can directly joke with His Majesty the Emperor, and Victor is one of them.

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor didn't care: "You might as well think more about yourself, Victor." Okay, you step aside...... Get ready and head out tonight. ”

Victor bowed to the Emperor again and stepped back. Suddenly, he stopped.

"How much autonomy do I have, Your Majesty?" He asked.

"As big as you think." His Majesty the Emperor remained silent.

"I understand, Your Majesty," Victor said softly, "I will convey your will, and I do not wish to question the judgment of the Duke or His Highness Linna. But can the 'Bright World' truly become one of us...... I'll draw my own conclusions. ”

"Very well," the Emperor smiled, "do what you want, and go now, Victor ...... the 'Serpent of the Void'." ”
