In the Deze Palace, where the emperor of the Begret Empire entertained important envoys, everyone was waiting for them.

The emperor is on top of it, and the chief of the Praetorian Guard, the emperor Fu Jue, is on the right.

Compared to the worried expressions of the other people in the hall, the two of them were more nervous.

There are no denominational people here – at least not on the surface.

All they were worried about was the effect of the Pope's presence on the Emperor;

And the emperor and the emperor did not announce the plan to control the pope.

It's just that there are many henchmen and masters under Huangfu Jue in ambush inside and outside the main hall, turning this place into a tiger's den in Longtan with no entry and exit.

"The Pope has entered the inner city and said that he will come to the inner capital to meet His Majesty first. ”

When the emperor heard the news, he said to the emperor: "The Pope's visit to the appointment so cheerfully makes me a little uneasy. ”

When Huangfu Jue heard this, he immediately clasped his fists with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if Dai Wangjue comes, he can't escape this net." ”

"But I'm still a little worried. The power of the sect is too great in this imperial capital, and now even that fine work has not been found. ”

"Your Majesty is the one who pointed out the information about the appearance of the Great Magician to the Pope?"

"That's right. ”

The people who could investigate only arrested the other party and tortured him, but they didn't catch a single clue.

To this day, the emperor is still haunted by such a suspicious thing.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, is it possible that the prime minister, or the prime minister accidentally leaked it?"

"He has some prejudices against me, but he is not enough to upend the entire empire. ”

Everyone in the imperial capital knows that the emperor ascended the throne at the age of 16 and was the governor of the current prime minister.

But the prime minister's initial assistance was the emperor's eldest brother.

Therefore, although the prime minister is dedicated to state affairs, he will sometimes be too strict and harsh to the emperor.

But fortunately, the prime minister does not belong to the sect, but he does not belong to the pro-emperor faction, but belongs to the neutral faction with a small number of people.

"This is really an unsolved case, could it be related to the [Shadow Killer]?"

The emperor knew that Huang Fu Jue wanted to relax his mood, so he looked at him and smiled: "If that's the case, you have to ask my ancestor to come out." ”

"Even if it's that kind of enemy, I'll do my best to defeat it!"

"Worthy of being my Praetorian Guard!"

The emperor suddenly remembered: "After today, you are going to go to the Great Magician, I don't know how to feel." ”

"As long as it is for Your Majesty and for the Empire, no matter how dangerous the task is, I will do my best to complete it. ”

"That's not what I want to hear, Huangfu Jue, I want to know how sure you are. ”

Huang Fu Jue knew that the emperor was worried about his own safety, and after pondering for a while, he said solemnly:

"According to the information brought back by Captain Li, the ability mastered by the reincarnation of this great magician can be described as 'invincible for the living', and there is only one way to die in a head-to-head confrontation. ”

"Even if it is consumed from a long distance, if you don't know the scope of the opponent's ability, it is difficult to grasp the safe distance, and you may lose like a super elite like Gong Changhong. ”

"If it's just a lot of power, you can find a flaw in the battle, but it will cost a lot of people to try, but what really disturbs me is the caution of the other side. ”

"Under the vigorous investigation of the Demon Hunting Association, no trace has been found yet, and even the wanted warrant issued by His Majesty a few days ago is of no avail. ”

"Now no one knows when or where he will reappear. It's impossible for our demon hunting team to arrive in time. ”

"Overall, it's a very difficult and dangerous opponent. ”

The last time I got such an evaluation from Huangfu Jue's mouth, it was the [Sword of Divine Sense] Brans.

The latter was not injured in the head-to-head with Huang Fu Jue, but in the end, Huang Fu Jue took the initiative to admit defeat in three places in the sword.

That somewhat emaciated swordsmanship genius was also the first to defeat Huangfu Jue, even after the battle, his physical strength was almost at its limit.

Huang Fu Jue knew that the other party was naturally weak, so he took the initiative to admit defeat after being hit by the sword three times to ensure fairness.

But he knows that if he continues to fight, Brans will definitely not be his opponent.

However, the opponent to face this time is far from being comparable to ordinary humans.

Even Huangfu Jue, who was known as the sword of the empire, did not dare to confront it head-on.

That's the power of magic.

"Huh, why didn't Captain Li go to the Demon Hunting Team for training today?"

In the monster province, Tao Xinping saw Li Xuan, who came early to learn about the monster information over the years.

Li Xuan glanced at Tao Xinping, nodded, said hello, and then continued to read the literature.

"Today the Pope is coming, and His Majesty has found people in the Praetorian Guard who have not been ambushed for a long time. ”

Li Xuan said while reading: "As a result, the original Praetorian Guards, who accounted for half of our demon hunting team, were transferred back to borrow for a day. ”

"Aren't there still half of them?"

Tao Xinping also came to his place and looked at the mountain of documents: "When will these things be big!"

"Half a person? That's not enough. Everyone is cooperative, how to practice without people, I gave them a day off, which is considered to be a rest in front of the station. ”

After nearly ten days of getting along, coupled with the leap in Li Xuan's level, the two of them seemed to have become friends for the year.

Then Li Xuan glanced at the documents stacked in front of Tao Xinping: "This kind of thing, you have to ask the Immortal Emperor, right?"

"Are there so many incidents in your county-level monster bureau?"

"Didn't you start from the grassroots level, Governor Governor?"

Li Xuan didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically.

"I'm similar to Gongsun Wen, I started working directly in the Monster Province? Let me tell you, local members are generally not transferred to the central government, and only trusting relationships is possible. ”

"Is it some kind of political play? Really, alas. ”

Li Xuan shook his head and carefully read all the previous files.

Seeing Li Xuan's tireless appearance, Tao Xinping couldn't help but ask again: "I'm going to hunt down the Great Magician tomorrow, how do you see that you are still very leisurely?"

"Being nervous before the start of the operation is also one of the big taboos. ”

Li Xuan began to wonder if Tao Xinping had ever been to the front line.

"Have you ever encountered a [Sub-Origin] monster?"

"I've touched it, but now you see a bunch of files that are ordinary monsters?"

Tao Xinping reminded in a friendly manner.

Sub-origin monsters refer to monsters with magical abilities but no intelligence, usually formed by the transformation of racial monsters who are born with magic.

Due to the blockade of the magical race by the Demon Hunting Association and the Holy Emperor Church, Li Xuan had little knowledge of magic.

But this knowledge is crucial to the crusade against the Great Mage.

"And where are the files for these monsters?"

"In the basement, all the files that need to be dispatched [Demon Hunting Order] are kept in the basement. ”

Tao Xinping threw a bunch of keys at Li Xuan: "These threatening things are all extremely urgent. ”

"The youngest one, push the fifth and fourth level cabinets to both sides, and you can see the entrance. ”

"Thank you. ”

Li Xuan followed his instructions, opened the secret door, and entered the basement where the files related to the special monster were stored.

The request to consult the file of the sub-origin monster was not out of boredom, but because Li Xuan suddenly had a little idea.

Regarding Yu Dongshui's magic, it can now be roughly divided into two categories.

One is to manipulate people mentally or physically, and the other is to change the terrain.

If Yu Dongshui only has these two means, then these two can barely be grouped together, that is, to give orders to change objects.

Of course, it is impossible for the reincarnation of the Great Wizard to have only these two methods, but if that is the main way of attack, it is possible to prevent it in advance.

During the battle with the Demon Hunter, the reason why Yu Dongshui turned to change the terrain was most likely that the Demon Hunter was out of range or out of sight.

If you make use of this important information, you may really be able to compete with him.

As long as he doesn't expose his geographical coordinates, Yu Dongshui shouldn't have a way to take them.

In order to verify this, Li Xuan also thought of seeing if there were any sub-origin monsters similar to magic, which could provide some useful clues.

In my mind's eye, only in the early part of the Age of the Immortal Emperor, the story of the rise of the Origin Demon Race in the West mentioned magic with a relatively high degree of similarity.

It was the home of a forgotten hero, a knight of Immerry who later became a demon.

Among the heroes Tan who are generally glorious and beautiful heroes, he is a very special existence.

In the early stage, he led the human race to resist the attack of the Demon Emperor, and in the later stage, he was betrayed and degenerated into a demon who slaughtered a city.

This demon is not an adjective, but a real demon.

The reason for being betrayed by relatives and friends is the instigation of the Demon Emperor, and the implementation of the discord plan is a general-level demon clan under the Demon Emperor who can control monsters.

But this demon race, who can control monsters, seems to have died in the end.

Although the establishment of the Demon Province was after the Demon Rebellion, Li Xuan knew that there would be no relevant files here.

But with the hope that possibly, and some other monsters might also have such magical conjectures, Li Xuan came to the [Special] level dossier area.

With the help of the freshly lit fires around him, he began to check them one by one.

Roaring Beast, Red Flame Tiger, Chimera······

They are all familiar names, and Li Xuan doesn't want to look at them again.

It wasn't until he saw an unfamiliar name that he stopped and took out the file.

[Soul Abandoner], Li Xuan seems to have a little impression of this term, it should have appeared in the story of a hero.

This name is also supposed to be taken by the Great Magician, in fact, most of the races still use the name of the Great Magician.

Li Xuan opened the file, and at first glance saw the sensitive information needed to come down this time:

In the year 593 of the Imperial Era, the kingdom of Harmen was attacked by a large number of soul casters.

The time was more than thirty years ago, and it was no wonder that he was found by Li Xuan so quickly.

And the word "large number" is very likely to be related to Yu Dongshui's magic.

The so-called soul abandonment is a person whose consciousness is the one who renounces his soul. It is a monster formed by humans, including animals, after death, infected by a specific attribute magic source.

To put it simply, it's zombies.

As for what attribute magic power source, and the formation conditions or something, I didn't say anything about this, and Li Xuan didn't know.

However, the dossier makes it clear that on an individual level, the Soul Forsaken are not intelligent, and their actions are all driven by the obsession of life.

A large number of Soul Forsakens are attacking the city, unless it is true that so many people are demonized at the same time and have an obsession with Halmen, there are many suspicious points.

Li Xuan hoped to see the words in "mastermind" again, so that he could almost get a real hammer.

But in the end, there is no explanation of what caused this terrible event, only that there is a Divine Favor who has led the people to defeat the Soul Forsaken.

No further news.

Li Xuan was a little reluctant to put the file back and continued to search, but there were no more valuable clues.

Or can we only start with the Soul Forsaken incident?

Since it was the Divine Favor who defeated them, it was only thirty years, and at most they were powerful characters of the Council of Elders, right?

If it is a demon hunting association, there should be a detailed investigation of this matter and a record, and it may not even be possible to meet the person directly in person.

Li Xuan remembered the badge of the Demon Hunting Association that he got last night, and if what the other party said was correct, he could ask the Demon Hunting Association for some help.

After all, it is a clue that is beneficial to the pursuit of the great mage, and the Demon Hunting Association should also pay attention to this matter, right?

It's a bit of a bonus.

Li Xuan extinguished all the torches and left the basement.
