When Bai Yi returned to the town with the unlucky but brave young man like luggage, enjoying the applause and cheers of the townspeople, several figures floating in the air appeared above the cottage in the distant forest.

The man who looked quite young, but his face was like a mahjong tile looked down at the mess below, frowned slightly, and raised his chin at several entourages around him who were also floating in the air.

These attendants were wearing a metal armor with some similarities to Bai Yi's current body, but it was much more delicate and gorgeous, all of them were in a glittering golden color, and there were two more domineering horns on the helmet, and a smooth mask covered the entire face, revealing only their unruly and cold gaze from a thin slit, and the weapon they held in their hands looked like a staff, but it was a bit like a spear, which was a special weapon called a ceremonial staff, and at the same time had the function of a regular staff. With the addition of a sturdy staff handle and a sharp staff, it looks like it can be used as a long-handled weapon.

This is the Royal Praetorian Mage of the Ruther Empire, that is, the most trusted and solid shield of the Emperor Rosser, compared to ordinary mages, they are physically strong, and have practiced a certain degree of talisman staff technique, even if the magic power is exhausted or cannot be used in the special environment of magic, they also have good combat effectiveness, from this point of view, it seems to be a bit like the group of battle mages represented by the little mage? It's just that these royal guards still rely on their own magic, and if they can use magic, they won't go up to hand-to-hand combat, unlike battle mages who regard hand-to-hand combat as the main means and put the cart before the horse.

Now that the glittering royal guards have appeared here, the guy with a face like mahjong is naturally the current ruling Emperor Rosser, who has only succeeded to the throne for a long time, and has not had time to obtain the domineering title of the Demon God Emperor, and is also Bai Yi's young teacher, an existence he has never wanted to meet.

The other two did not go down with the Praetorian Guard mage to search, but continued to stay by the Emperor's side, one of them was dressed in gorgeous and generous mage robes, and the other was dressed in the same way as the Praetorian Guard mage below, and the two of them did not seem to be ordinary? But even so, they didn't dare to ask rashly, even if their curiosity was about to explode, they could only look at their emperor with inquiring eyes.

The emperor also seemed to sense that the two of them had a stomach problem, so he casually circled a soundproof barrier beside him, and whispered: "Someone is coveting the Book of Surrender of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and it is here." ”

The emperor's tone was quite understated, as if it was a trivial matter, but the two people around him trembled slightly, as if they had heard a very terrible news.

Of course, this news is terrifying enough, even if it is small, it is someone who wants to steal the artifact of the Rother's Empire; In a serious direction, the Book of Submission of All Worlds also symbolizes the imperial power of the Ruther Empire, which is tantamount to coveting the position of the emperor.

But after hearing this shocking news that could make men cry and women silent, the two people around the emperor reacted completely differently:

"How is this possible? The Book of Submission of All Worlds represents the supreme imperial power, how can it be stolen? ”

"Who is it?"

The Emperor heard the different answers of the two courtiers, and glanced at them with some amusement, the man in the robes was the archmage Ben Toth, the head of the mage corps and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire; And the person in the mage armor is called Aegis, the newly promoted captain of the Praetorian Guard, this person is an orphan, and he has reached his current position step by step by relying on loyalty and military exploits, and his magic attainments are not very outstanding, and his cultivation is much lower than the archmage next to him.

That's why the words of the two are a little different.

The emperor did not answer the courtier's question, but floated silently in the air, waiting for the search results below, as if he was also thinking about something; Captain Aegis also remained silent after looking around, not saying a word; On the contrary, the archmage exuded his spiritual power and examined it for a while, and then he continued:

"The people who used to cast magic here seem to be of a pretty good level? And the means are extremely cruel, he should be flying in the air, using magic to kill these people who are fleeing around one by one, obviously he should have the strength to destroy everyone with one blow, but he chose such a means, which shows that he is extremely tyrannical, and enjoys the pleasure of abusing and killing the weak, maybe while killing, he is still smiling on his face, right? ”

Fortunately, the murderer, the next Emperor Rosser didn't hear these words, otherwise he really didn't know what expression to use to deal with, he could only say that these high-ranking and powerful people are very good at brain supplementation?

The Emperor did not comment on this inference, and continued to wait patiently until one of the Praetorian Mages flew back to him and reported: "Your Majesty, the search has been completed, and no murderers have been found, and these dead are all rogue from the surrounding area, and there are people from several countries and tribes, who must have fled to this vicinity from the border. ”

"Is there a live mouth?" The Emperor asked calmly.

"Found a... But—" said the Praetorian Mage with some wistfulness.

"Let's go down and have a look." With that, the emperor landed straight down and landed in the midst of a mess of murder.

Soon, the rogue who had escaped by hiding under the pile of corpses was brought to the emperor, but this person's mind was completely deranged, and it seemed that he had been stimulated too badly? His face was full of snot and tears, and he couldn't say anything, no matter how others asked, he could only cry out from his mouth: "Devil... The devil..."

But there was one thing that everyone present could see, he was very afraid of the Praetorian Mage in armor, not only pointing at them and shouting devils, but also always thinking about running away, not knowing what he was afraid of.

"With such a state of mind, you shouldn't be able to ask anything, even if you extract your memory, you can't see too much, but you should be able to find some clues, right?" The archmage asked at the emperor.

The Emperor nodded.

So a magic circle appeared in the archmage's hand, covering the rogue Ko's face, and the rogue convulsed like an electric shock, and soon fell to the ground softly, motionless, although he was still breathing, but because of the rough extraction of his memory, he had completely turned into a vegetative person.

The archmage withdrew his hand, and the words in his mouth were recited, and the magic circle floated in mid-air, erected, and turned into a magic light curtain, in which the most profound memory in this person's mind appeared - it was a figure that was pitch black, as if wrapped in black mist, was frantically casting magic in mid-air, slaughtering the rogues below one by one, all around was completely shrouded in raging flames, and the sky was also full of dark clouds, and it was splitting out thick lightning that was destroying the world, and it looked like the return of the demon king, The end of the world in general.

"It didn't work." The emperor read this memory very calmly and commented casually.

"His spirit has completely collapsed, and his memory will definitely be greatly skewed." The archmage explained a little embarrassed: "But I can see the general form of the murderer, the armor is pitch black, and the magic level is quite good. ”

"There are many such villains, and they are all on the wanted list." Captain Aegis added in a low voice.

The Ruther Empire is not a heavenly kingdom, there must be a lot of bad people in it, plus the remnants of the enemy country that have not been completely cleaned up, they naturally have a long wanted list, and it is impossible to lock on to the target just through this chaotic memory, and it is difficult to even narrow down the scope.

"There may also be more than one murderer." A Praetorian Mage next to him hurriedly added, "There is a corpse here that was not killed by magic, but a skull pierced by a sharp blade..."The mage said, pulling out a piece of Baijuan, which contained a severed dagger blade, and some red and white slime remained on it.

The emperor just glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and began to give orders: "Bring more people, seal off this area, carefully rummage through every inch of soil, as well as the nearby villages and towns, investigate them one by one, and don't miss any suspicious clues." ”

After that, a magic circle appeared under his feet, and he cast a teleportation spell, and a few seconds later, he returned to his magic laboratory far away in the imperial capital, and it seemed that there should be no Yaxing who triumphed with the soldiers.

In fact, when Bai Ye was browsing the magician's memory, he asked him, you like to have a good time, why don't you go home directly after every time you finish fighting? Instead, do you like to ride a carriage and follow the army slowly?

At that time, the magician, who had already degenerated from the domineering emperor to an old tease, did not answer this question directly, but said in a smiling and silent tone: "When you become the emperor, you will understand." ”

However, this time, the emperor did not seem to have the heart to return triumphantly, and after returning to the laboratory, he picked up the scepter beside him again, and his face showed a more solemn expression than before in front of the courtiers, and he said to himself words that were more likely to cause panic: "Why? Why did you fall asleep? I am right next to you, I am the current emperor, why don't you listen to my call? ”

"Or do you think there's someone better suited for the position than I am? More suitable to be your master? The emperor muttered in a low voice, his heart was actually very anxious, the Book of Surrender of the Ten Thousand Worlds that had changed into the form of a scepter was obviously in his hand, but why was it suddenly unusable?

This change occurred from the moment he sensed that another person was invoking the Book of Surrender of the Worlds.
