Early in the morning, Li Xuan was woken up by the servants in Tao Xinping's mansion and went to the inner imperial capital with the governor.

Because the current Emperor Begret is very diligent and motivated to restore the legacy of the immortal emperor, the early dynasty time is very early.

And most of the officials' residences are in the outer imperial capital, so in order to arrive on time, they often have to leave before dawn.

The two sat in the carriage all the way, and they were speechless.

It wasn't until he got off the bus in the outer imperial capital that Tao Xinping spoke.

"Director Li, when the time comes, you will wait in the side hall first, and then you will go in when His Majesty summons you. ”

"Okay. ”

Coming to the main hall of the early dynasty, Tao Xinping asked a few more words before letting Li Xuan leave.

At this time, a young general with a delicate face dressed in the iron armor of the Praetorian Guard passed by them, and took the initiative to greet them after noticing that it was Tao Xinping.

"Master Tao, who is this?"

After Tao Xinping saw him, he also became a little respectful.

"This is the director of the county-level monster bureau in Rockshire, and I have come here to report something important to Your Majesty. ”

"Something important?"

The young general raised his eyebrows: "I have been in front of Your Majesty for so many years, and I have never heard that the affairs of the Monster Province must go through Your Majesty. ”

"This time is a little special, you will know when the time comes, General Huangfu. ”

Tao Xinping changed the subject: "Aren't you going to Your Majesty's side now?"

"Oh, sorry, then I'll go first. ”

The general surnamed Huangfu was reminded by Tao Xinping and quickened his pace to enter the main hall.

Li Xuan noticed that he was armed with a weapon at his waist.

"Master Tao, who is that?"

"Oh, it's the eldest son of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Jue. You've probably heard of it. ”

Then he added: "A young and promising genius general. ”

Huang Fu Jue, of course Li Xuan has heard of this name.

It can even be said that this name is not only resounding throughout the Beglie Empire, but even the Ris Alliance and the Lil Alliance are in awe of this name.

Nine years ago, on the second day of the Holy Emperor's Church, a festival established by the Holy Emperor Church to honor the Eternal Emperor, he won the championship in a nearly crushing manner.

He was promoted to Praetorian General less than three years after he was sent to the Imperial Palace, and later succeeded his father as the Governor of the Northern Front.

Until a few years ago, he returned to the inner imperial capital, and was promised by the emperor to be a general in peacetime and a governor of the army in wartime.

In the battles large and small in his life, in the duel, except for the regretful defeat in the face of the legendary Western swordsman [Sword of Divine Sense] Brans the year before last, there was no defeat.

Such a figure had just passed in front of him, and he couldn't help but make Li Xuan feel a lot of emotion.

Tao Xinping looked at Li Xuan's expression and said, "Don't be so surprised, you can see him again later." ”

With that, he walked into the main hall.

Li Xuan retracted his mind and went to the side hall in the direction that the governor had just instructed.

I have to say that the luxury of the Inner Imperial Capital is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Just the decoration of a side hall, Li Xuan felt that he could buy the Monster Bureau in Rock County.

It was already the ninth day of the Burning Demon Moon, and it had been a month since Yu Dongshui's first magic reaction.

didn't expect such a big change in such a short period of time, so that Li Xuan still hasn't reacted.

In retrospect, except for the time when he took the initiative, Yu Dongshui never caused any loss of personnel or property.

But his side has been chasing Dongshui.

This kind of thinking can be described as a great rebellion in front of the devout believers of the Holy Emperor Church.

But Li Xuan always believes that a person, no matter who he is, should be kind by nature.

If he wants to be wiped out just because he is the reincarnation of the Great Magician, it is too arrogant and unreasonable.

It is true that in the world of ordinary people, magic is almost just a legend.

Once you actually appear in front of you, you will definitely feel a sense of fear.

But this world is not only used by great magicians, I heard that there are many mysterious races that are born with magic.

In order to maintain the unique image of the Eternal Emperor, the Demon Hunting Society generally forbids these races from entering the human world.

In some ways, it's self-serving.

People are always afraid of the unfamiliar and do everything they can to maintain the status quo.

Even after the Emperor of Eternal Life unified the continent, he issued a rule prohibiting subhumans from living in human cities.

Comparatively speaking, the Grand Magician appears to be more rational and fair in his dealings with other races.

The Holy Emperor's Church is also very repulsive to subhumans because of this, which coincides with the Demon Hunting Society.

It was impossible to rely on Li Xuan's strength alone to turn the situation around, but he still wanted to try.

He didn't know when he started thinking this way, but if he had to say it, he learned it from that person.

Li Zijie.

Although this man is shown to be indifferent to society, and even somewhat disgusted, his pity for the weak is real.

Li Xuan also asked about his life experience, and Li Zijie just returned to "the same person who has fallen from the end of the world".

It's pretty much understood.

As for where he spent his childhood, Li Xuan didn't know very well.

But there is a hunch that he has been exposed to intelligent races other than humans.

In many conversations, Li Xuan was attracted by his ideas of racial equality and compassion for the weak;

Li Zijie was also moved by Li Xuan's life experience, words and deeds;

The two became close friends.

When he heard that Yu Dongshui was a great magician, he was not as surprised and angry as others;

It's as calm as if he's known it for a long time - maybe he doesn't care too much about it.

I pondered alone in this side hall for a long time before I was summoned by the emperor.

The early dynasty had probably dispersed, and Li Xuan saw the current emperor of Begret dressed in gorgeous imperial robes and wearing the [Fantian] crown on his head.

Legend has it that the Eternal Emperor received a gift in return after helping the Dwarven First King establish a country.

It is said to be made of the hardest and most beautiful material in the world.

According to the dwarven narrative, from the time the Immortal Emperor appeared, a small amount of new material began to appear in the mines.

These new substances are harder than diamonds, the hardest of all cast, and as clear as crystal.

But the Grand Mage still revealed their real names at a glance: Jade and Star Diamond.

The sky is made of star diamonds.

Today, this crown, which is pedestalized by a star diamond and adorned with countless jewels, is regarded as a symbol of Beglieth's imperial power.

There was no such thing as kneeling and saluting, and in fact, there were fewer other rituals.

Li Xuan was only allowed to step forward after bending down and bowing his head in respect.

At this time, the emperor sat in the middle, and Tao Xinping and an old man sat on his left and right.

Huang Fuqi, who met in front of the main hall at the beginning, stood a little farther away.

The one who can sit with the monster governor should be the prime minister.

"So, Director Li of the Rockshire Monster Bureau, say everything you want to say!"

The emperor's tone has the kingly air of a person who has been in the top position for a long time.

Li Xuan sorted out his thoughts and opened his mouth to tell what happened last month.

It wasn't until the emperor's face became more and more ugly that Li Xuan finished talking about the ins and outs of the appearance of the great magician.

The Emperor turned his head to Tao Xinping: "What I know is that no one, including me, can interfere with the actions of the Monster Province. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are already two factions in the Monster Province, so. ”

"So Aiqing wants to suppress opposition in the name of me?

"Your Majesty is wise. ”

"So what does Aiqing think?"

Tao Xinping replied: "Since the casualties of the people of the Demon Province have been caused, the minister believes that he should fully assist the Demon Hunting Association in the pursuit and give justice to the deceased." ”

The old man spoke: "Governor Tao should know that the Monster Province has not joined the pursuit of the Great Magician head-on in the past years. If you do this, you will kill or injure more good members. ”

After pondering for a moment, the Emperor asked, "Has the Demon Hunting Society of Iaul reacted?"

"No, the Monster Ministry has not received any information. ”

The emperor then said to the old man, "Prime Minister Yuwen, I think this is a good opportunity. ”

"Why did Your Majesty say that?"

"Now the power of the Holy Emperor Church is expanding, and its pope is showing great ambition. It is nothing more than because of the faith of the people as a backer. ”

The prime minister's eyes froze: "Your Majesty is ready to use the great magician as a tool?"

"That's right. If my men capture the Grand Mage, not only will the royal family of Berglie be raised among the people, but the authority of the Pope will also be dimmed by my light. ”

The Emperor continued, "The next step is to expand the influence of the Great Magi, so that the people can be saved in this situation, so that the faith can be maximized. ”

Li Xuan couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen thinks that the information about the reincarnation of the Great Magician should not be exaggerated. ”

The emperor frowned and said, "Why did Aiqing say this?"

"Your Majesty!"

Tao Xinping realized that the emperor was a little unhappy, and hurriedly explained to Li Xuan:

"The reason why the Great Magician didn't make a move now is because he didn't want to expose his actions to the world. If such an order were to be given now, it would undoubtedly force the Great Magician on the road, and by then it would cause immeasurable additional losses. ”

The prime minister was silent for a long time before he spoke: "That's right, Weichen also agrees with Governor Tao's opinion. ”

The emperor was obviously a little uncomfortable, but because both of them were opposed, he had to compromise:

"It's rare for the two Aiqing to stand on the same front, and I approved Li Xuan's request. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

The three of them said at the same time.

Huang Fu Jue, who had been standing next to him, also looked at Li Xuan with appreciative eyes.

But few such petty officials dare to speak against the emperor when he is in high spirits.

"So, how does Your Majesty plan to support the Demon Hunting Society?"

"Support? Why support?"

Seeing Tao Xinping's somewhat surprised expression, the emperor smiled proudly:

"I want Aiqing to organize a team dedicated to hunting down the Great Mage, equal in position and status with the Demon Hunting Association, and act in my name. ”

"Yes. Tao Xinping said: "The minister has the courage to ask His Majesty to name this team and send a holy decree." ”

"A name?"

The emperor had a bit of a headache, and asked him to handle government affairs, and it was okay to transfer officials, but he was really not good at naming or something.

"That, well, Tao Aiqing, I ask you, what is the token of your Monster Province's highest alert event?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's called the Demon Hunting Order. ”

"Okay!" the emperor said, "Good name! This squad is called the Demon Hunting Team!"

Then he turned his gaze to Li Xuan: "The Great Magician appeared in Roqueshire. You're more familiar with Rockshire, and I'd like you to be the Demon Slayer. ”

Li Xuan was startled at first, and then quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I will not fail in my mission!"

"Don't be too happy too soon. ”

The emperor said, "Give you a year, and if you can't complete the task after one year, I will punish you." ”

The tone was flat, but it revealed an unmistakable majesty.

"Of course, I can help you to the fullest, and you can also choose the right person from the Imperial Capital to join the Demon Hunting Team. ”

"Is this true?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.

"Really. ”

The Emperor nodded definitively.

Tao Xinping had some ominous premonitions at this time, Li Xuan, this kid didn't understand the rules of the imperial capital, and he wouldn't-

"I hope General Huangfu will join. ”

Li Xuan said in a confident tone.

This guy!

Tao Xinping never expected that Li Xuan would really dare to attack the chief of the guard.

What should the emperor do if he borrows the emperor's personal bodyguard?

Tao Xinping is ready to excuse Li Xuan at any time.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Okay! I promise you!"

He turned to Huangfu and said, "General Huangfu, what do you think?"

Huang Fu Jue himself was also a little unexpected, looking Li Xuan up and down, feeling that the emperor was not joking.

"It's okay to let you join in next, too. But let's try it first, whether Captain Li is qualified to be the leader of my Huangfu Jue. ”

The emperor looked at Li Xuan with satisfaction: "Li Xuan, I also want to see which genius in Governor Tao's mouth is stronger or weaker than the genius under me." ”

"Be your companion. ”
