The Void Palace, as the inner city of Oasis City, is about four to five hours away from the central square of Oasis City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, this refers to the time consumption of a normal person when moving with a foot.

If the carriage travels at a normal speed, it will only take about three hours without considering congestion.

After all, it's not a straight line between two points.

And a powerhouse of Sean's level, if he flies directly from the air, he probably only needs ......

A minute or so.

If the flight speed is faster, I am afraid it will not even be 30 seconds.

The powerhouse at the peak of the legend is not a joke.

After experiencing what may seem like a blink of an eye to outsiders, but it was only a short thirty seconds, but for Sean it was equivalent to a year-long high-speed flight, Sean finally landed gently on an exposed balcony on the third floor.

Against the backdrop of a lot of greenery, the entire Void Palace is like an island floating in a sea of green.

The construction of the Void Palace is a kind of building complex full of retro European style. The buildings are no taller than five stories tall or two stories at worst, and while they don't seem to have anything to do with each other, they actually have a secret passage underneath all of them, and this underground network of secret passages connects the entire Void Palace.

The person in charge of digging these secret passages is none other than Sheena's Spider Legion.

Of course, this is actually where Sheena's real underground palace is located - the "Sheena's Labyrinth" located under the Gorge Fortress is actually just a defense mechanism deployment, and the Crypt Spider Queen, who really signed a magic contract with Sheena, has long been secretly transferred here from the Black Swan Castle.

After all, although Sheena is the leader of the Chill Spider Legion, she can't produce underground Chill Spiders, so the Crypt Chill Queen, the most valuable of the entire Chill Spider Legion, naturally has to be placed in the safest place.

And in the entire Void Empire, is there any safer place than the Void Palace?

The answer is no.

Almost all the most elite people in the entire Void Empire have gathered here - including but not limited to the Four Giants of the Void, the Four Minor Giants of the Void, the generals of the highest inner circle, the Void Crusader Station, the Cecilia Guard Station, and so on. Being allowed to obtain a residence in the Void Palace was already the highest level of reward for the entire Void Empire, and it was also the ultimate goal of faith for countless Void Empire officials.

As the dormitory of Cecilia, the Empress of Phoenix of the Void Empire, according to the laws of the Void Empire formulated by Neil, its standard specifications can reach the maximum floor area of fifty acres, and the floor height can reach the building standard of the fifth floor. It is worth mentioning that as the first emperor of the Void Empire, the founder of the Void, and the spiritual leader of the Void Empire, Sean's palace building standard has an over-specification of 300 acres and a maximum of seven floors.

The entire Void Palace covers an area of 1.8 million square meters, that is, 2,700 acres.

As the second largest occupancy area of the Void Palace after Sean, the founder of the empire, Cecilia's dormitory covers an area of only about 1,000 square meters, and the building floor height is three floors. And even if it covers an area of 1,000 square meters, nearly 600 square meters of it is a garden green area, in fact, there are only seven real buildings, covering an area of less than 400 square meters.

In particular, Cecilia's own house is only a small house of only about 100 square meters.

Others may not know what the symbolism of this very modest looking house is, but Sean knows it very well.

It was a house in the small town of Hadas in the kingdom of Sivir, Serion.

When Sean and Cecilia were just two little mercenaries, Cecilia's dream was to own a house that was the second largest in the town of Hadas after the mayor's family, and it is said that the original owner put it up for sale due to financial problems in the business. But it's a pity that the 400 Serian gold coins that the house was priced at that time were an untouchable price for Sean and Cecilia, who were just struggling to make ends meet.

Sean had just returned to the Void Empire, and he naturally wouldn't know where Cecilia actually lived.

But when he saw the house, he already knew that Cecilia must have lived here.

So he landed here without the slightest hesitation, and then pushed open the floor-to-ceiling window door from the balcony to the room.

The room is very well lit, and the bright sunlight shines through the polished windows, making the whole room very bright.

In one corner of the room was a small bookcase, on which were some books of a more personal nature, and the most occupied were various knightly novels, several of which Sean seemed to have read in his impression. Slightly in front of the bookcase, there is a small low table and a chaise longue-style sofa that looks very soft at a glance, and on the low table is a set of tea sets that are more common in the Cinnas Empire.

A slight difference from the bright and tidy room is a desk in the other corner of the room.

Spread out on the desk were countless parchments and bound books, and even several empty inkwells, on which a few quills were thrown haphazardly. The sharp-eyed Sean just glanced at it, and he had already found that there was still dense data on one of the spread out parchments, which seemed to be a calculation formula, but this aspect has never been Sean's area of expertise, so he didn't know whether the results of this calculation formula had been achieved.

And in the middle of this half-orderly, half-chaotic bed, is a large bed that is obviously a little over-specified.

It's like a watershed, separating two very different temperaments in the room.

As if knowing the outcome, Cecilia leaned against the bed, then looked slightly sideways at Sean who opened the door to the balcony floor-to-ceiling window—she just watched Sean land on the balcony, then opened the door and stepped in.

No matter what Cecilia's thoughts and emotions were before, at this moment, the moment she saw Sean step in, her mind was instantly calm.

Cecilia's face, pale from weakness, revealed a sincere and sweet smile from the heart, like a rainbow after the rain: "I'm back." ”

With just a simple sentence, Sean's mind became calm.

In the past three years, he has been fighting and killing in the underground world for a long time, and countless bloody murderous aura has wrapped around his body. In the naked law of the jungle society, there are only life-and-death war killings, and there will be no sympathy at all. Friends one second, enemies the next, are the most common things that happen in the underworld, even if even family members can't trust each other, let alone anything else.

So whether Sean wants to admit it or not, in fact, his heart has inevitably been clouded with a layer of haze in the past three years.

And most importantly, Sean's heart also doesn't match his current strength.

To put it simply, Sean's strength has improved so quickly that his foundation is unstable - he relied on devouring the souls of the strong to make him have the combat power of the fifteenth-order legendary peak now. Perhaps with the game's superb skills and vision that surpass the natives of this world, Sean can still defeat most of the legendary peak powerhouses who are also fifteenth order, but if he faces more and more courageous battle maniacs such as Levi and Rena, or true geniuses such as Cecilia and Angel, and gods like Shephaneo, then Sean's best ending is only to severely damage the enemy before dying.

From beginning to end, Sean was not a genius.

He relied on other means to barely catch up with the geniuses of this world, and without these means, Sean would be a slightly gifted powerhouse at best - perhaps, he could eventually become a legend powerhouse, but that would probably take him more than a hundred years of hard work.

So at this moment, after meeting Cecilia, Sean's unstable mood crack due to his rapid increase in strength finally stopped expanding.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and fulfillment rose in Sean's heart.

He nodded slightly, and a sincere smile also appeared on his face, and said, "Well, I'm back." ”

The private conversation between the two most powerful figures in the Void Empire was as simple as the meeting between the two of them when they were mercenaries more than a decade ago.

It's as if Sean hadn't disappeared for three years, just went out for a day at work and then came home from work.

Sean walked quickly to Cecilia's bedside, then sat on the edge of the bed, stopping Cecilia who tried to get up: "Until the injury is healed, stay well." ”

"This injury can't be healed by lying quietly in bed." Cecilia pouted and hummed softly in a slightly coquettish voice, "I'm a little hungry now, and I want to get up and eat." ”

"I'll cook it for you." Sean shook his head helplessly.

"Don't." Cecilia suddenly let out a loud protest, "You don't know anything but cook a chowder!" ”

Hearing this, Sean's face showed a little embarrassment: "I don't have much time to study cooking." ”

"I've been very idle lately, and I've cooked some good dishes after reading the cookbook, so I'll cook for you." Cecilia seemed to know Sean's answer, and she chuckled happily and slightly.

"Are you sure it's a good meal?" Instead of lizards, toads and the like? ”

"I'm a magician! Not a storybook witch! Cecilia let out a protest, her little face puffing out.

She knew that this was Sean's first cooking attempt to fight back against her: some time after Sean had saved Cecilia, and tired of the duo eating dry food, Sean asked Cecilia to try to cook. But the only thing that the little girl, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, made was a weak energy potion made from magic materials such as dried toads, lizard powder, blue mushrooms, and so on.

Looking at Sean, whose facial expression was very wonderful at that time, Cecilia replied: "This thing can maintain the nutrients that a normal adult man needs for a day, and can maintain his energy, which is faster and more effective than the traditional method of taking nutrients through food to maintain vitality." ”

Later, every day with Cecilia, Sean was in charge of cooking: even if he could only make a simple chowder, but in Sean's opinion, this method was much better than "witch soup".

Talking about the little secret that only each other knows, Cecilia and Sean, who looked at each other for a moment, both let out a burst of laughter.

After a moment, Sean got up: "I'll cook for you." ”

"Be spicy." Cecilia said with a smile.

"It's not good to eat too much spicy." Sean is typically not fond of spicy food, while Cecilia prefers spicy food.

"Hmph, the person you miss very much wants to eat spicy food now, only in this way can I be in better spirits, so!" Cecilia accentuated the pronunciation of the words "very concerned", and then she appreciated Sean's slightly hurried and embarrassed look because of this, "I'm going to eat spicy food now!" ”

"Did you hear it all?" Sean blinked.

"It's not just me, it's everyone in the entire Void Empire who can hear it." Cecilia's eyes were very bright, and if it weren't for the fact that her face was indeed pale and bloodless, she wouldn't look like a sick person, "I also deliberately recorded it with a magic illusion stone." …… However, the time of your speech is too short, and Neil originally wanted to burn the whole process and sell it as some kind of commodity, in a sense, you ruined Neil's money-making plan. ”

"Damn Neil, I'm going to have to deduct his salary when I go back!" Sean exclaimed a little angrily, "I just came back from the underground, and this unscrupulous consul has already begun to want to use me as a money-making tool!" ”

"Sean." Looking at Sean, who was huffing and shouting, Cecilia suddenly spoke, "Am I really the one you miss the most?" ”

Originally, Sean was going to answer "When will it become a term like 'most concerned'", but looking at Cecilia's face, Sean sat back on the edge of the bed closer to Cecilia, and then chuckled and nodded: "Of course." I've been worried about you for the past few years in the Underworld. After all, you were still sleeping when I left, and I'm really worried about how you're doing......"

Before Sean could finish speaking, Cecilia suddenly leaned in on Sean and kissed him on the lips.

However, perhaps it was Cecilia's swift movements, or perhaps it was for other reasons.

In short, this should have been a beautiful scene, but it ended with Cecilia's cry of pain.

Because Cecilia's teeth collided with Sean's teeth, but a magician or a warrior, there is no doubt who has stronger teeth. Feeling the smell of blood in her mouth, Cecilia knew that her lips must have been cracked - but this was not the most difficult thing for her to accept, what really made her wish to die like this was that Sean, who had been stunned, quickly recovered, and then looked at herself who was covering her lips with a gloating expression.

Shame and indignation!

If it weren't for the fact that his current body was so weak that he could only condense a faint flame, Cecilia swore that she would summon Solomon's seventy-two flames, and then blast the banter-filled Sean straight out of the plane wall!

Looking at Cecilia, who was flushed, Sean reached out and gently broke Cecilia's hands that were covering his lips, and then reached out to gently wipe the blood from Cecilia's lips. His movements were gentle and careful, feeling the warmth on Sean's fingers, and Cecilia, who had been full of shame, quickly calmed down again.

Maybe Cecilia's "injury" was not serious, or Cecilia's recovery as a strong man was still there, in short, the blood on her lips was quickly stopped.

"Sean......" Cecilia called softly.

"Huh?" Sean looked at Cecilia, the smile on his face still gentle, "What's wrong?" ”

"I ...... I ......" seemed to be in a hurry, and Cecilia tried to tell me many times, but she still couldn't say a complete sentence.

Looking at Cecilia, who looked eager and embarrassed, Sean reached out and gently rubbed Cecilia's delicate face, and then he finally leaned over and kissed her lips. (To be continued.) )
