"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed. Makamund's gaze fell on Xu Jia's face, and he said with a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Jia turned his head to look at him, slightly puzzled.

Makamud is very familiar to him, but the other party knows him a little bizarrely, Xu Jia simply filtered it in his mind, and he didn't notice when the two met.

As if he saw Xu Jia's thoughts, Makamd continued to laugh and said, "Mr. Xu took away the ancestral inheritance of the Wasteland Star, do you remember?"

Xu Jia couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be that time, it was a long time." ”

When Xu Jia had just opened the training space and officially embarked on the road of martial arts, he started a inheritance of the ancient Marfa King in the Wasteland Star.

It was originally something left for Ah Yue, but Xu Jia didn't think that the inheritance of the magic realm had any meaning to Ah Yue, so he took it out in advance.

As a result, the inheritance itself had no effect, but the cane of the King of Marfa was taken away by him, and it became a means to strengthen the demons in advance.

When he first took the inheritance, he had a short contact with Acehor, but at that time, Xu Jia didn't want others to interfere in the affairs of the wasteland star, so he simply cut off the connection.

Although he had the impression that there was no Markamud at the beginning, it was not impossible for the old man to hide in the shadows.

Anyway, with such a statement that can barely be regarded as "friendship", the distance between Xu Jia and the Shadow Clan has narrowed a bit.

Although Xu Jia doesn't matter, the shadow clan is a particular person, even if it is to cooperate, it has to be said that affection is higher than profit.

Ni Shaohan just smiled lightly at this scene, and waited until the exchange between Xu Jia and Makamd was over, and she greeted a few people one by one.

After that, Xu Jia met the only person he didn't recognize among the four, this old man was called Derek, and he was really in charge of the daily affairs of the Shadow Clan.

Well, sure enough, Xu Jia didn't know the name when he heard it, and he probably wasn't a very important NPC in his previous life.

Ni Shaohan didn't say anything to the four of them, and after a brief meeting, he simply sat next to him.

Maybe the things she needs to communicate have already been said before, or before determining Xu Jia's intentions, Ni Shaohan doesn't plan to reveal more content.

Among the four people, Derek probably came to make up the numbers, and he didn't speak much after passing the name, while Zong Wu observed with interest, and only picked up two sentences from time to time.

The main force of chatting with Xu Jia has always been the old fox Makamud, and His Royal Highness Filia next to him.

Xu Jia couldn't see much of Markamund's intentions, but he could still feel that Filia, the Shadow Patriarch Princess, was probably really curious about himself.

She was more of a test of the political leanings of the Wasteland Star, as well as Xu Jia's own attitude towards the relationship between martial arts and the empire.

Under Xu Jia's teaching, the eldest princess of the moon embarked on a pure martial arts path, which was no secret among the upper echelons of the empire.

Many people even felt that Xu Jia had a strong anti-magic tendency, and that he should bring Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back as soon as possible, and could not continue to be taught by him.

But some people also pointed out that there are a large number of magical devices on the wasteland star, and Xu Jia's own emphasis on magic technology is far more than that of many planets, which is not true.

Her Royal Highness Filia belongs to the centrists, and she believes that Xu Jia is not averse to magic, but she is not as revered as Eshall's people, and is something to be fought for.

"Mr. Xu, the empire will soon complete the unification of the star field, you and ...... Has Ah Yue considered coming back to Golo Star?"

Filia seems to know a lot about Quinta, and she even knows the name "Ah Yue".

"Let's settle down later. Xu Jia said casually, and what he answered was basically the truth, his own true thoughts.

Xu Jia understood that this was his first on-the-ground contact with the top echelons of the empire, and it was not a purely transactional relationship, and both sides needed to have a certain understanding of each other.

He didn't mind taking the opportunity to let the Empire know some of his ideas — not including, of course, the more problematic parts.

When Filia heard this answer, she couldn't help but glance at Markham next to her.

They could hear that Xu Jia's words were not insincere, but that they really had this idea. It seems that this one has the idea of entering the imperial system, rather than wanting to set up his own door?

But Filia heard another meaning, thought about it and said, "Mr. Xu seems to think ...... Won't the unification of the empire go too smoothly?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Makamud, for the first time, uniformly set their eyes on Xu Jia's side, without any concealment.

The people present were all meticulous people, how could they not hear the subtext in Xu Jia's words? The same is true for Ni Shaohan, who had heard Xu Jia say similar things before.

Xu Jia thought for a while and said, "It may not be difficult for the empire to fully control the star field, but if you want to completely expand your influence, it is not something that can be done in one or two years. ”

To influence the entire star field, that is something that the Interstellar Alliance could not do before, otherwise the three ancient star fields would not be independent.

Filia couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course, influence can't be done in a while, but time is on our side, isn't it?"

Is time on the side of the Marfa Empire?

Considering the antagonistic relationship between the Interstellar Alliance and the Empire, there is indeed no problem in saying this, but at the moment, no one would have thought that the days of relative peace would only last for another two or three years at most.

The invasion of the Star Nest Legion is inevitable, and if it is not changed by anyone's will, then it will be the time for the Azure Realm to fight in full force.

If the Empire wants to be accepted by the Interstellar Alliance Headquarters and avoid the fate of the Queen's Reckoning, it must contribute to that battle.

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Jia to say these things, and probably few people will believe them when he says them, so he can only choose to talk about things in the other direction.

"Don't underestimate the power of the gods, they are growing fast, and this large-scale entry into the Three Ancient Star Fields may not be the help of the empire. ”

"God's people?!"

This answer greatly exceeded the expectations of several people, and Filia and the others even felt like they couldn't laugh or cry.

If it weren't for Xu Jia's serious appearance, which made it difficult for several people to refute for a while, they would probably have laughed out loud on the spot.

This is also understandable, after all, the strongest among the players is only about seven ranks at present, and it is simply impossible to say that they can threaten the Marfa Empire.

No matter how fast the gods and people grow, it is also in the middle and low ranks, and it is not surprising that many talented martial artists have made rapid progress before the sixth order.

But after reaching the advanced level, can they still grow at such a rate?

At least until they saw it with their own eyes, few people believed it.
