169. I'm fine
The man who received Imoku was Neil. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the fact that when this super powerhouse tore the spatial barrier and appeared near the Void Empire, he naturally received the news as soon as possible.
It's just that at that time, the Void Empire was in an almost defenseless state - the only one who could deal with the super strong was the super strong, and this wise saying was not a joke. And the only three super powerhouses in the Void Empire are not in the empire, so it is naturally difficult to determine whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for such a super powerhouse who does not know the relationship between friend and foe suddenly appears near the Void Empire.
This is something that other countries that have received the news are also happy to hear.
After all, the dignity of a super strong person is not allowed to be despised by anyone. And the reason why an empire dares to be called an empire is naturally not allowed to be underestimated by anyone, otherwise it will only cause damage and impact on the prestige of the empire.
Therefore, almost everyone in the whole continent felt that it was already an inevitable result for this super strong man to make a big fuss in the Void Empire.
In fact, thousands of years ago, there was indeed a super powerhouse who returned from the Outer Realm of the Void and had a conflict with a great empire at that time. As a result, this super strong man made a big fuss in the royal capital on the spot, although this empire also has three super strong people in charge, but compared to the super strong man who returned from the void without worry, these two super strong people are naturally tied.
In the end, although the super strong man was forcibly killed, the empire was also destroyed by nearly two-thirds, and two of the three super strong were seriously injured - after all, the super strong man's counterattack before death was not vegetarian.
Less than fifty years after that, the empire of one of the seven empires was replaced by another super-first-class kingdom.
Because there is a historical precedent, almost everyone in the whole continent is waiting to see a good show.
It's just a pity that their good show is destined to fail.
After Imoku descended to the main material realm, he immediately locked on the person closest to him and the person with the strongest Shaun aura. That is, Neil, who worked in the royal capital of the Void Empire, and then directly descended into the Void Palace.
It is said that at that time, the entire Void Palace was like a great enemy.
However, this also fully shows that William and Hela's training is extremely effective - even though these guards know that they will not be the opponents of the super strong, they still do not retreat, but put on a look of death, and stand in front of Imoku.
Even Neil, at that time, felt that this super strong man was here to find trouble with the Void Empire, and he was even ready to sacrifice.
It's just that the next moment he heard something very incredible.
Imoku said, "I am my lord, Sean. Connery brought a letter. ”
It wasn't just Neil who was stunned, but even the guards were stunned.
The point is not that Imoku said he brought a letter for Sean.
Rather, it was the two words that came out of his mouth.
My lord.
What is My Lord?
Only the orthodox knights who have sworn allegiance to a master will address their master as "my lord".
This is a super strong man who has sworn loyalty to Sean!?
This news spread throughout the entire Void Palace in an instant, and then spread throughout the royal capital of the entire Void Empire through the Void Palace. Then, in just a few days, the people of the entire Void Empire knew that their empire had a fourth super powerhouse.
This news that is not concealed, or it is impossible to conceal at all, since even the Void Empire knows about it, how can the other countries on the entire Miracle Continent not know about it?
Cecilia was the first to return to Oasis City from the Maggie Empire on the night Imoku arrived at the Void Palace, to be precise. Immediately afterwards, many generals, strong men, etc., who were fighting outside, also returned to Oasis City that night.
This day was the day when all the high-ranking people of the entire Void Empire gathered together once again after the establishment of the Void Empire.
……
In the middle of the night, the palace of the king was brightly lit.
With the heavy thud of the door being pushed open, Cecilia hurried into the hall.
Then she saw a bandaged freak in a black evening dress standing in the center of the royal hall, as if admiring the arrangement of the royal hall. Standing next to him was Neil, known as one of the four giants of the Void Empire.
Other than that, there was no one else in the entire royal hall.
As if hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Imoku turned his head and saw Cecilia and the three men following him. Although he couldn't see his specific appearance and demeanor because he was covered with bandages, the smile in his eyes still clearly infected the people around him.
"You must be Cecilia as my lord Sean said, she is indeed a very beautiful beauty." Imoku looked at Cecilia who was hurrying over, and then bowed slightly: a very standard ancient knightly etiquette, "Long time no see, my two brothers." ”
"Long time no see, my brother." Tungsten Ramo saw Imoku standing alive in front of him, and his face showed a look of joy.
And even Kokilei, who doesn't like to talk very much and has always given people a feeling of indifference, has a warm smile on his face at the moment: "Hah." ”
"You ...... Know? This time, it was Cecilia's turn to look surprised.
"Miss Cecilia, do you remember what I told you?" Tungsten Ramo smiled and leaned sideways, then spoke, "We are three brothers. ”
"Imoku!" Cecilia soon realized the key word she had just ignored because of her excitement, "You're Imrakul?" ”
"Yes, Miss Cecilia, I am Imoku." Imoku saluted again, but this time it was the etiquette of introducing himself.
Ancient knights and ancient nobles reached an inhuman degree of harshness in etiquette, and there were different corresponding etiquettes in different situations, such as saluting the high-ranking person, greeting the low-ranking person, introducing themselves to the high-ranking person, introducing the high-ranking person, and even making an audience, swearing allegiance, and self-introduction of the same person, etc., all have a completely different set of etiquette.
However, Cecilia didn't care about the difference between the two salutes before and after Imoku, she cared more about what Tungsten Ramo had said to her a long time ago: "Didn't you say that with Imoku here, he would be able to escort Sean back to the surface?" What about Sean? Where is he now? ”
Tungsten Ramo touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then looked up at Imoku, which obviously meant: I bragged about the cowhide at the beginning, and now the cowhide is broken, you have to carry this pot on my back.
"Ahem." For their own brothers, they don't need too many words to explain at all, often a glance can explain everything, so Imoku knew very well what Tungsten Ramo meant, so he could only cough lightly to create a buffer time for himself and Cecilia to calm down, "Because the underground world is not underground." ”
"What do you mean?" Cecilia was in a hurry, so she didn't figure out the meaning for a while.
However, compared to Cecilia's eagerness and ignorance, Tungsten Ramo, as a magician, understood in an instant: "Plane barrier? ”
Imraku nodded: "The underworld is said to be underground, but it is actually a half-plane projected in the shadow of this main material realm. It's still a half-plane that's basically formed, but it's dead. …… Originally, according to the law of change, the final result of this half-plane is to break away from the main plane, and then form a new plane, giving birth to a new species unique to this plane, but because his master died in Ragnarok, and this half-plane has been anchored in the main plane and cannot be separated, so after a long time, it was assimilated by the main plane. ”
"In other words, there is no way for us to enter the underworld other than the normal dimensional passages." Tungsten Ramo immediately understood the meaning of Imoku's words, "And the ability to tear through the spatial barrier must be at least the sixteenth order or above." …… If you don't reach the sixteenth order, even you can't guarantee Sean's safety, right? ”
"Yes, it's because we have spatial coordinates, just for a short time in the void." Imoku nodded again, and then spoke, "If it is a normal situation to directly tear apart the spatial barrier and convert between planes, even if Lord Sean has the strength of the sixteenth order, I dare not guarantee its safety. ”
Legendary powerhouses can teleport over long distances, but this is limited to the same plane, and the premise is to master the spatial coordinates.
If you want to directly tear through the spatial barrier for interdimensional teleportation and travel, you must at least be at the level of a super strong.
Although Tungsten Ramo's chaotic portal can directly teleport between the same planes regardless of the distance, in fact, it folds the two spatial coordinates and directly ignores the distance in between, unlike the traditional portal that directly forms a relatively stable channel between the two coordinate points. Therefore, although this technology of tungsten ramo can reach the target location in an instant, it will actually cause a rage between the spatial passages, and generally speaking, if it is not a truly strong person with outstanding strength, it will not be able to resist this violent air flow of the void at all.
In some ways, Tungsten Ramo's Chaos Portal is a lot like Void Travel.
"So, the problem is back to square one, we have to solve the problem of teleportation of the Abyss Path." Cecilia's eyes flashed with a hint of determination.
Different from the previous hopes, now Cecilia can really be sure that Sean is in the underworld, and as long as the teleportation problem of the Abyss Path is solved, then they can immediately welcome Sean back, which naturally greatly boosts Cecilia's confidence and belief.
"If you are also asked to participate in the analysis and development of the source energy of the magic core, can you speed up the progress?" Cecilia turned her head and looked at Tungsten Ramo, who knew it was too big to let Tungsten Ramo do such a thing, but she really wanted to see Sean.
"I've seen that drawing, it doesn't really mean much if I join or not, it's a difficult problem for the Maggie Empire, the Haytham Institute has already broken it, but it lacks some practical and feasible technology, so I never thought about the concept of 'combination'." "But if I join, I can save a few experiments, and I think the progress can be accelerated by about a month." ”
"A month is fine!" Cecilia didn't hesitate to say that for her, even one more day was worth it.
Looking at Cecilia's serious eyes, Tungsten Ramo nodded and didn't say anything more: "Then I won't accompany you back to the Maggie Empire in the future, we just happened to bring back the drawings, and I'll go and discuss with the people of the Haytham Institute later." ”
"I'm sorry for you. Lord Tungsten Ramo. Cecilia bowed to Tungsten Ramo very seriously.
"It's my business." Tungsten Ramo smiled, and then he saw that Imoku was winking at him.
Tungsten Ramo naturally understood this meaning, and Imoku was asking Cecilia if she was the identity of the hostess. However, on this topic, Tungsten Ramo really doesn't know how to answer, if not, but according to his observation that he has been in the Miracle Continent for so long, Cecilia is definitely the second person in Sean's group, and everyone is very convinced of Cecilia, and this convincing is obviously not only because of Cecilia's outstanding ability, but also because of Sean's factor.
But if you want to say it, Sean has never made it clear that Cecilia is their "hostess" relationship intention.
So in the end, Tungsten Ramo can only return a look of "what you think you think".
What Tungsten Ramo didn't expect was that this guy Imoku directly gave Cecilia a greeting gift to meet the hostess.
It's a pity.
Cecilia, a modern nobleman, was completely ignorant of the etiquette of those ancient nobles and ancient knights, so he didn't know why Imoku suddenly had to practice a completely different etiquette from the two just now. In the end, Cecilia can only regard this as a quirk of Imoku, after all, based on her contact with Tungsten Ramo and Kokire over the years, she basically knows that these two brothers have different quirks, and it seems that Imoku, as one of their brothers, has strange quirks.
Soon, as the followers of the group army with Sean as the core returned to Oasis City one after another, the originally empty royal hall was soon full.
Needless to say, the core followers of the first generation, such as Rena, Alfred, Neil, Hela, William, Croft, etc. The followers of the second and third generations, no matter how important the task they had at the moment, all of them temporarily put it aside and rushed back, and even some of the fourth-generation Void Empire talents who were valued by the Void Empire because of their "merits" were also qualified to participate in this royal hall meeting.
Among them, including the second most powerful person in the Cecilia Guard, Spayne.
He is the Demon Hunter that Sean brought back when he traveled to the Gray Shadow Black Market, and his uncle is the Barrier Paladin. Bannock, now the head of the Void Palace's Forbidden Guards, is responsible for protecting the safety of the Void Palace, and of course, more for protecting Neil.
Spayne's personal potential was squeezed out at an early age, and it was because he admired Cecilia that he joined the Cecilia Guard, becoming a knight determined to protect Cecilia. Under the dozens of fierce battles in succession, this young man not only did not die on the battlefield - although he repeatedly brushed shoulders with the Immortal Grim Reaper - but gradually became valued by Clove as he became proficient on the battlefield.
Later, after the establishment of the Void Empire, he enrolled in the military courses of the Void Empire Academy on the recommendation of Clov, studying under William and Hela. Later, in a series of battles in the expeditionary force, he began to rely on his years of battlefield career experience and the knowledge he learned from William and Hela, and became one of the few new generation commanders in the expeditionary force, and his personal reputation in the army was basically equal to that of Sheena and Orianna.
Basically, it can now be regarded as one of the pillars of the fourth generation of talents in the Void Empire.
And the reason why Clov admired this young man, or this young man, was naturally because of his almost fanatical loyalty to Cecilia.
Seeing that all the people in the palace had arrived, Cecilia did not hesitate, and directly stretched out her hand to introduce Imoku who was standing aside: "This one is Your Excellency Imochu." He is the brother of Kokirei and Tungsten Ramo, and he has sworn allegiance to our Emperor, Sean. Connery, so he's now also a family member of our Void Empire. ”
With Cecilia's introduction, the royal hall burst into applause, and Imoku bowed to everyone.
Of course, no one can understand his strange etiquette.
Cecilia looked at everyone standing in the royal hall, and she herself did not sit on that throne, but stood on the side of the throne - during the time when Sean disappeared, countless people fantasized about sitting on this throne, but these countless people definitely did not include these people standing in the royal hall at this moment.
It's not that they are not qualified to sit down, in fact, it should be said that the one who has contributed the most to this country should be Nier, because if there is no Neil, no matter how strong William and Hela's ability to lead the troops is, they will not be able to carry out such a large-scale attrition war one after another. But whether it was Neil, William and Hela, who supported the entire Void Empire all the way down without being defeated by any invaders, or Cecilia, who led everyone forward during Sean's disappearance, they never thought of sitting in this chair.
Yes, for others, this is the throne that symbolizes the supreme power of the entire Void Empire.
But for Neil, Hela, Cecilia, William, Diana, Alfred, Rena, and countless others, it was just a chair. A chair that is no different from the chair in your own home, at most a little larger and a little softer.
They are qualified to sit in this chair, but they will never sit in this chair.
There is only one reason.
They revered Sean.
"I know that for a long time, everyone has a question about whether Sean is still alive, even if we all say that he is still alive, but we have no evidence, we can't show for sure that he is still alive, we can only believe it." Cecilia spoke again, and the people in the royal hall gradually stopped applauding, "But now, I can tell you for sure, Sean is in the underworld!" He's thinking about a way back! ”
Speaking of this, the eyes of everyone in the royal hall became extremely bright.
Indeed, as Cecilia said, they could only believe that Sean was still alive all along. But there is ample evidence to show and there is no evidence to show that this is fundamentally a matter of two beliefs - and it is precisely because there is no evidence that the Void Empire began to have more people with intentions and power ambitions, so William chose to run to fight the army of the undead, and Hela and Diana launched an expeditionary plan together.
But now, there's ample evidence that Sean is alive and right in the Underworld.
Then all this is very different.
"This letter is Sean's handwritten letter that Master Imoku brought back today." Cecilia raised the unopened letter in her hand, and then spoke, "When I got this letter, I wanted to open it on the spot and see what that bastard Shaun had written. But I know I can't, because I'm not the only one who cares about him, so I have to be here until all of you are together before I can open it. ”
In the royal hall, someone let out a good-natured laugh, and this laughter quickly infected many people.
"Let's take it apart, Lord Cecilia, we're all here, we really can't wait."
"That's it, Lord Cecilia, take it apart and see what the king has written."
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Cecilia opened the letter under everyone's gaze, and then took out a piece of letter paper with the fragrance of grass and trees from inside: "Sean...... The first thing he wrote on this was, I'm fine. ”
"I'm fine."
The opening is just these three words, but the meaning expressed is very profound.
Its subtext is that there is no need to worry about Sean's disappearance.
Their king is still comforting them.
Just like the road that seemed to be desperate several times back then, it was Sean who gave them hope and a future.
Someone else let out a kind laugh.
But in the midst of the laughter, there were also many people with rosy eyes.
Especially Cecilia, her vision suddenly blurred, and she couldn't control it.
She reached out to wipe her face, completely unconcerned about how helpless and cowardly it looked, not at all as strong as she usually appeared. Cecilia at this moment seems to have returned to fifteen years ago, the little girl who was surrounded by a group of obviously ill-intentioned people on a rainy night, and then seemed very helpless.
"I'm sorry, my tears suddenly can't be stopped." Cecilia's voice was a little choked.
In fact, not only Cecilia, but also Alfred, Rena, William, Sheena, Oriana and others all seemed a little choked.
Of course, more people are red-eyed and desperately patient.
No one spoke, and perhaps some of the third and fourth generations couldn't understand the reason why so many people in the royal hall were red-eyed, but at least they were smart enough and clear enough "Sean. What kind of meaning does the five words "Connery" mean to these high-level leaders of the Void Empire?
"Second sentence......" Cecilia's voice, somewhat choppy, was obviously in a situation of extreme emotional fluctuations, "I just knocked all the dark elves down, and I know that the forest is already my territory, and the arrogant creatures of the blood elves don't dare to provoke me now." ”
In the royal hall, there was a sudden burst of cheers.
"Ha, it's really my king's style."
"I didn't expect the lord to go to the underworld, and he still didn't feel at ease at all."
"Unifying the entire Forest of Profound Knowledge, this is a big thing that no one has ever done before, worthy of Lord Sean."
"It looks like the animals of the underworld. Raw meets big. Hemp. Annoying. My king is not the kind of person who will be satisfied if he unifies the forest of deep understanding. ”
Looking at the cheering crowd in the royal hall, Imoku didn't say anything, because only he knew how dangerous it was to help Rrotikabas unify the Forest of Understanding. Not to mention the spider demon who can only avoid his interference and perception, let's just say that the several assassinations he encountered after that were all battles that almost killed Sean, and the hardships and dangers in this are not as simple as the letter says.
Imoku, it was Sean who watched the pain endure the severe pain to write this letter - on the eve of unifying the entire Forest of Knowledge, Sean was injured by a fanatical blood elf with a self-detonation magic, and he was in a coma for a week before waking up, and then he immediately wrote this letter, asking Imoku to return to the surface as soon as possible to report safety.
Cecilia glanced at the calm-looking Immoku, who knew that things were certainly not as easy as Sean had written. But she knew better that Sean just didn't want them to worry, after all, there was no difference between a dimensional barrier and two worlds, and it would be useless to say her predicament, because they in the surface world couldn't help at all.
"Our king is really as fearless and troublesome as ever." Cecilia resisted the urge to cry in her heart, and showed a smile, "I believe that those guys in the underground world must be very angry and unhappy right now. …… I don't know why, Your Majesty Sean is really good at making people angry. ”
"Hahaha."
In the royal hall, there was a burst of knowing laughter.
Those of them who have followed Sean for a long time know that Sean's ability to cause trouble is really not low at all.
"Lord Cecilia, what else is written behind the lord." Someone asked.
"yes, yes." A chorus of echo rang out.
"Let me see." Cecilia's gaze fell back on the letter, "The third sentence is...... There's a damn vampire who wants to mess with me, and to be honest, I wasn't interested in dealing with him, but I've heard he has an Abyssal Path on his hands, and that's what piqued my interest. ”
Someone whistled: "That vampire is finished." ”
"Yes, he must be finished, he has a fortune that Lord Sean has taken a fancy to, he is going to be unlucky."
The relaxed atmosphere permeated the royal hall, and no one thought that Sean would fail.
Because the history of the past ten years has taught them that they must not underestimate Sean, who is named the "Miracle Lord", he is always able to do something beyond anyone's imagination.
It's like no one thinks he can become a lord, but he has single-handedly overthrown almost the entire kingdom of Dabion and become a grand duke; In the same way, when almost everyone thought he was going to confess under the strong intervention of the Peace Council, the Grand Duke overthrew the entire Peace Council; And just when everyone thought that the Grand Duke should start to develop in peace, he was missing.
This is an arrogant Grand Duke.
This is a restless Grand Duke.
This is a troublesome Grand Duke.
But also a miracle-winning Grand Duke.
"One last word." Cecilia chanted softly, "When I return, I will be back soon." ”
In the royal hall, there was a silence.
Their king, their lord, and their emperor wrote this letter in their own handwriting, and then sent back by a super strong man who broke through the plane barrier, not to ask them for help, but to reassure them, let them calm their restlessness, uneasiness, and fear, and let them wait for his return.
At this moment, those generals who had never fought alongside Sean, and those third- and fourth-generation imperial talents who did not know Sean, suddenly understood why their elders and seniors would show their loyalty to this king.
Why would those super powerhouses, legendary powerhouses, top powerhouses, be willing to remain loyal to this missing emperor?
It's not because he's the Emperor of the Void Empire.
And not because they called him king, lord, emperor.
It's because of Sean's unique leadership temperament.
Even if you're alone.
Even if you're alone.
Even if you are helpless.
He still didn't give up, he still stood like a king, holding up the sky for them.
Cecilia gently folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, carefully tucking it away.
Her eyes were red, and tears poured silently from her sockets, blurring her vision, and then dripping to the ground. But she was still standing in front of everyone, "looking" at everyone present, a strange aura emanated from her body, Alexis and the others looked at Cecilia at this time with a little surprise, they could feel that Cecilia was undergoing a new transformation, she was getting stronger, getting stronger.
"Our king, he said let's wait for him to return." Cecilia's voice was soft, filled with a sense of serenity and peace, "Do you promise?" ”
"No!" In the royal hall, there was not the slightest hesitation and silence, and almost everyone let out the cry that they had been holding back in their hearts at this moment.
"yes, I don't say yes." Cecilia whispered, "How can our king come back alone?" So, tell me, what should we do? ”
"Welcome!"
"Let us personally go and welcome the return of the king!"
"Our king, we must go and welcome him back!"
"Yes." Cecilia nodded, "Sean is our king, our leader, our emperor, our lord. How could we let him come back alone? We must go and welcome him back, and tell him in front of him that he is now the emperor of the Void Empire, the emperor of the eighth empire of the Miracle Continent, and his return must be grand and grand! ”
Taking a deep breath, Cecilia vibrated her words with a huge amount of magical power, causing her words to reverberate throughout the Void Empire: "Our King, it must be up to us to welcome his return personally!" ”
"Our King must be greeted by us personally!"
"Our King! It must be up to us to welcome his return! ”
"Our King!"
"Our King ......"
Mixed with all kinds of negative emotions for a long time, finally vented completely under Cecilia's roar.
The people in the royal hall also let out bursts of roars and kept responding.
This roar passed through the main hall of the royal hall and spread to the entire Oasis City, to the entire Savage Land, and to the entire Void Empire.
King of the Void Empire, Sean. Connery, how can you walk home alone?
This is their king.
This is their emperor.
This is the leader who will lead them to a place to live.
They must go and greet him personally! (To be continued.) )
