18 years of the eighth universe.

One day not long before the assassination of Southmendick in Springs, in the highest-ranking secret room in the palace of the Grand Duke of Carmen, the second highest ranking in the Montto Empire, the current Grand Duke of Carmen, the third prince of the empire, Doug, the youngest son of the Grand Duke of Carmen, Isaiah, and the sword saint Salah who they share are plotting for their own future and even the future of the empire.

The third prince Doug gave the nickname 'Mad Dog'. He is really worthy of the nickname of 'Mad Dog', but he has obtained such a sarcastic nickname like a treasure, and he is very useful.

Doug is 27 years old this year, Isaiah is 22 years old, both brothers are gifted, prodigies in martial arts, and the two studied under the sword saint Sara and became a swordsman.

Now both of them have broken through to the high-level swordsman, and they have become level 18 elite warriors at a young age.

The two are not only brothers, but both of them are extremely cruel and bloodthirsty, and most importantly, they are both solid supporters of the bloodline theory.

They believe that the bloodline as a family bond is not important, and the blood power that bursts out of their own is the key to judging the merits of a person, even a family and a country.

The current Grand Duke of Carmen is a son of a collateral branch of the Carmen family, and luckily at the age of 10, he was able to stimulate the power of the bloodline in the Carmen family.

This made him a legend at the age of 33, and now he has already reached the peak of legend, and even some of the strong men in Baikalmo believe that Grand Duke Carmen has broken through the legendary realm and become a god-level powerhouse.

Among the next generation, among the many children of the Carmen family, Isaiah's talent should be the strongest, but because Isaiah is the youngest, he is not the strongest heir of Carmen's generation at this stage.

So whether Carmen really thinks that Isaiah will grow up to be the strongest, or because Isaiah is his own son's selfishness, Grand Duke Carmen binds Isaiah and Doug together, so as to increase Isaiah's ability in the family, and the two can even plot the pattern of the Carmen family and even the Montor Empire.

Grand Duke Carmen said, "Doug, I heard from the chamberlain that His Majesty has not been in good health since he came back from the Blood Ring Bay. Therefore, the eldest prince has been staying in the palace and has never come out.

Don't go with you this time to the place where you are buried, to prevent the eldest prince from taking advantage of your absence in the imperial capital to think about anything and ask for people indiscriminately! But don't worry, the profits from this business will still be distributed as before, you get 40%! ”

"My nickname is 'Mad Dog', I'm afraid of the boss!? What a joke, if it weren't for the fact that the Montu family has always been a proponent of the theory of blood, he would have survived to this day? A great magician who hasn't reached Chuangqi in his 40s, I haven't taken it into account yet! "As soon as Doug hears anything about the Great Prince, he will instantly transform into a real mad dog.

Doug continued: "However, the Grand Duke is thinking about the big picture, so I can't ignore the big picture.

So I won't go this time, the meridians in my body have been abnormal recently, maybe I'm going to break through again, I have to seize this opportunity to break through the barrier of level 19. Only when you come to the peak of the elite can you charge towards the Sword Saint realm! ”

Although it seems that the mad dog Doug has not completely gone crazy, the other three know that Doug is still worried that if he leaves the imperial capital rashly, the eldest prince will make some moves in the emperor, so he said such a scene to save some face.

The three of them are all smart people, and they can't see through it, after all, Doug is quite knowledgeable, and he obeyed the advice of Grand Duke Carmen and made the right choice.

Although Doug was not directly involved in the operation, he still asked, "Where did you choose this operation?" ”

"On the northernmost side of the Boneyard, near the edge of Mount McGee, there are more than a dozen magic crystal mines."

"How did you choose such a remote place? The production of magic crystals there has always been low, and the population is so scattered that it is easy to leave a living. Doug had thought there was a better place to plunder, but when he asked, he realized that it wasn't like that at all.

So he didn't understand why Grand Duke Carmen would rather risk the exposure of his actions and take the risk of fighting those few not very valuable magic crystal mines.

Carmen picked up the glass in her hand, took a sip of it, and thought about how to answer Doug's question.

Doug was a little displeased when he saw that Grand Duke Carmen wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "We are already people on the same ship, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, what? Is there anything you need to hide from me? ”

"That's not it! As you said, we're already on our own! ”

"Then why does the Grand Duke want to stop talking like this?"

"Okay, since even the Third Highness treats each other so frankly, I won't have any reservations and confessions!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"Your Royal Highness, although you are a warrior, you should also know that legendary magicians can break through the barriers of the plane and establish a short-term portal. Through this portal, anyone can reach another place or another plane in an instant! ”

"I naturally know the plane passage of the legendary mage, although the existence of the alien plane has never been openly acknowledged by the various countries of Baikalmo, but this is all to deceive the ignorant lower people, for the ruling layer of the Monto Empire, this is basic common sense."

"That's true, but did you say that the flickering portal of the same nature as the portal?" Grand Duke Carmen asked.

"Although I am a warrior, I have also dabbled in magic books and popular science, but I have never said anything about the flickering door." Doug didn't pretend to understand, and answered truthfully.

After all, at this stage, Grand Duke Carmen's status in the Monto Empire and even in Baikalmo is much higher than that of him, the third prince.

The probability of growth of elite Baikalmo fighters is one in the hundreds of thousands, that is, in the entire Baikalmo population of more than 10 billion, there are only tens of thousands of elite fighters.

Therefore, any elite warrior is not something that can be reached by casually taking some big tonic pills and having a little adventure, they all have a strong heart.

Mad dog Doug is crazy and frightening, but in the face of knowledge that he has never dabbled in, he is like a sponge to absorb water, he puts away his barking fangs, full of desire to learn, and frantically ingests the same knowledge that is simply gold!

It was this quality that Archduke Carmen was so optimistic about him that he tied his youngest son, Isaiah, whom he also admired, to him.

Grand Duke Carmen said: "Although you are the prince of the Monto Empire, you do not have the strength to enter the core circle of Baikalmo at this stage.

So there are some secret knowledge within the plane that you haven't dabbled in yet. But you don't have to be presumptuous, when your strength and status are reached, someone will naturally tell you this secret knowledge. ”

"What you said intrigued me! But what I don't understand is that if I ascend the throne as emperor, will I have to wait until I become emperor to know this secret knowledge? At that time, my rights will control the entire Eastern Continent, and who will have a higher status than me, and who will tell me this!? ”
