"Little Irene, you're a step too late." DeWitt said, "Oteros broke through the hundred steps to the second order a month ago, and he is no longer able to enter the fifth courtyard. ”

Oterus has the bloodline of the Ancient Sky Splitting Beast, and is also extremely powerful at the boss level.

With his strength, there was naturally no problem in entering the Fifth Courtyard.

Over the past thousand years, the Fifth Courtyard has been opened many times. Of all the entrants, very few of those who reached the level of a high-level boss would fall inside. Originally, it seemed that in Polina's face, it was nothing to promise Erin. But now that Otross has entered the second order, there is no way.

"Breakthrough." Erin was also stunned after listening to it.

She had considered many situations, but she didn't expect Otross to advance at this time.

As far as she understands...

There were originally eight people who had the qualifications to enter the Fifth Courtyard this time, but the Sixteenth Prince went out privately some time ago and was killed by the Tiger Shark Pirate Group, so there will be seven people entering it this year.

There are two of the strongest of them.

The first was the youngest son of the Empress of the Empire, the fifteenth prince Rachel.

Rachel herself is just a gentleman, and her strength is not as good as her. However, he has a good mother, and the four followers invited this time have all reached the intermediate boss level, and among them is the genius of the lion people, Rupert.

Rupert was a mid-level leader five years ago, and after all these years of training outside, it is very likely that he has advanced to a high-level leader.

The other was Randolph, the second son of Duke Sock.

This Randolph was a genius in his own right, and at the age of seventeen he rose to the rank of chief.

Coupled with the heritage of the Duke's Palace, the strength is even more extraordinary. And among his followers there are also werewolf geniuses, and Rod, who has the strength of a high-level leader, may be stronger than the fifteenth prince Rachel in overall strength.

The others, including her, were much worse than these two.

"Senior Leader." Erin frowned secretly.

Compared to the level, the template has an amazing increase in personal strength, unless it is a rare race with extremely high basic attributes, otherwise the template is one level apart, and there will be a huge gap in strength.

However, it is very difficult to advance the template.

Only a few demon-level characters can reach the level of leader before the age of thirty.

In addition, the Fifth Courtyard can only be entered by those whose strength does not exceed the second order, and under the heavy restrictions, the high-level leader is almost the strongest combat power that all parties can find.

Her mother's Ona family, which she belonged to, was also one of the top twenty families in the empire, but at a huge cost due to her family connections, she only invited one mid-level leader and two low-level leaders to help.

Originally, he planned to rely on his mother's relationship with Duke DeWitt to ask Otross to help.

Unexpectedly...

"Don't be too disappointed, there are a few of the Minotaurs who are slightly weaker than Otros." DeWitt comforted, "I'll send someone to inform you in the past few days, and I believe that my old face still has some face." ”

"Thank you, Uncle DeWitt." Erin also had a little joy on her face after hearing this.

Since Devit said that it was slightly weaker, it should not be too weak, and the strength of ordinary senior leaders is always there, and after entering the fifth courtyard, it should not be a problem to protect her safety. And with DeWitt's influence, the chances of success in the invitation will be high.

......

Mermaid Bay.

Barr and John stood at the back of the crowd.

"My lord, in the past few days since you left, a new medicine garden and farm have been built in the town, and the city wall has been upgraded..."John said as he handed over a piece of information, "Also, there is an additional senior alchemist in the territory, and the material reserves are also sufficient, is it time to put the construction of the port on the agenda?" ”

"Well, Mermaid Bay has a natural deep-water port, and it's really time." Barr took the information and said with a smile, "I put the mobile armed port drawings I got last time in the warehouse, and you and Lao Tang are responsible for the construction of the port." ”

"Old Tang is very experienced, you can listen to his advice in this regard."

"Understood." John said respectfully.

The two walked slowly.

"That's right, sir." John suddenly thought of something, "Yesterday morning, the guards caught two strange human thieves in the herb plantation. According to the guards, the two men were dressed in strange costumes and spoke a different language than we had here. ”

"These two are in prison right now, do you need to go and see them for yourself?"

"Oh, thief, that sounds interesting." Barr said with interest, "Well, I'll go and see what kind of thief he stole into our Hailan Town." ”

Talking...

Baal's face moved, and he turned his head to look at the northern sky.

A silver-gray battleship was speeding towards this direction, and on the deck stood a line of Imperial soldiers.

"The Minotaur Legion, and the Imperial Royal Guard."

"How could someone from the royal family come here, is it just passing by?" With a sweep of his eyes, the information of the soldiers on the battleship was fully understood. The Royal Guard is the exclusive unit of the Imperial Royalty, and has traditionally only acted with members of the Imperial Family.

"My lord, what is this?" John followed Barr's gaze and found the battleship in the air.

Soon.

The ship flew over Sea Blue and turned around towards Baal before landing next to Mermaid Bay.

"Wow, look, it's an Imperial warship!"

"Here comes the big shot."

"Let's go, let's take a look."

The adventurers along the coast gathered around excitedly.

Unlike the adventurers, the aborigines immediately stopped what they were doing and stood respectfully aside. In the Orc Empire, except for a few elite commanders who have warships, only the royal family and the high-ranking people of various clans are left, and these are all absolute big shots.

"Boss, it's a battleship, it seems that some great person is coming, do you want to go over and have a look." On the coast, Wang Hu asked in a low voice.

"Let's go, let's go." Wang Ping nodded.

......

brush, several energy ladders quickly condensed and formed

Click...

Groups of Imperial soldiers stepped off the battleship, and then quickly lined up, keeping the gathered adventurers out.

Stomp and tread.

Several figures walked towards Baal, and at the foreground was a tall, burly middle-aged minotaur in armor.

"Uncle." Barr greeted him with a smile.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you've changed a lot enough." DeWitt was slightly surprised.

"Hey, who are you?" A small head came out from behind DeWitt, and looked curiously at Barr in front of him, this is Leda, the daughter of Duke DeWitt, that is, the little girl that Barr met at the gate of the Duke's Palace a few months ago.

"Shorty." Barr had a smile in his eyes.

"It turned out to be you." The little girl froze for a moment, then ran to Baal's feet in a huff, and tried to look up. Barr is now more than four meters tall, and she stands at Barr's feet like a little bean dice, "What do you eat every day, how do you grow so fast." ”

Barr smiled and touched Leda's head, he liked the little minotaur.

"I heard a few days ago that you fell into the spatial turbulence, and I was worried for a while, but I was relieved to see that you could come back safely." DeWitt smiled and walked over to Barr.

His nephew is really impressive.

It's only been a few months, but he has become the head of a town, and his territory has developed to a second-level town, and from what he has just seen and heard, the entire Hailan Town is a thriving scene. After coming back safely this time, even he couldn't see through the strength, and he thought it was a great opportunity.

"Damn, big news, it's the Minotaur patriarch!"

"It's really the patriarch."

"Why did I hear that Minotaur NPC called Uncle Patriarch just now? Did you hear that? ”

The adventurers outside are all looking this way.

"Thank you uncle for your concern, although I encountered some dangers, I finally came back." Barr smiled, "But, uncle, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”

"It's nothing, I just have something to rush to Blackstone City, so I'll stop by to take a look." DeWitt laughed.

At this moment, several more figures walked by the battleship.

"Uncle DeWitt, I don't know who this is?" A crisp voice came from behind.

Soon.

A lion-man girl in silver armor appeared in front of Baal.

Next to the girl were two cat-man women, dressed as maids, followed by an old lion man wearing a cyan mage robe and four lion soldiers of the royal guard.

"One third-order high-level leader-level elemental mage, and four third-order low-level leader-level warriors." Baal glanced at it, it was worthy of the royal guard, even ordinary soldiers had such strength.

"Baal, let me introduce you to the following, this is the eighteenth princess of the empire, Irene." DeWitt smiled and introduced, "This is Bal, the lord of Sea Blue Town, and my nephew. ”

"Lord Baal."

Erin looked at the tall figure in front of her with interest, the nephew of Duke DeWitt, this identity is not simple, "This bull head in front of me is so tall, and its physical characteristics are very different from ordinary minotaurs, does it have the blood of ancient or ancient creatures." ”

In the world of Rand, it is not uncommon for aboriginal professionals with high-level biological bloodlines to be found.

The most common of these is the dragon bloodline, and according to the concentration of the bloodline, the owner will also have some characteristics of the bloodline creatures to which they belong, such as scales, claws, etc., which is somewhat similar to Baal's situation.

Then.

An inaudible voice came from behind her: "Your Highness, this minotaur is a little strange, the latest energy detector I am carrying, can't detect any information about him. ”

Erin's face moved, and she quickly returned to normal.

"Humph!" Duke DeWitt on the side couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Erin's back, the old lion man standing behind Erin instantly turned pale, and a trace of cold sweat left from the corners of his forehead, as if he was suddenly seriously ill.
