In Olvis, the capital of the Langmu Empire, the Ralph family is in the mansion of Olvis, two people sit opposite each other, with a square table in between. One of them was a middle-aged man, with eagle-like eyebrows upside down, cold eyes, and a brown cloak with mountain patterns, and an irrefutable strength hidden in it. The other is a big boy who looks twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a delicate face, but there is a scar on his forehead, which makes him not look immature, but gives people a sense of maturity and perseverance.

"So, all I need to do is put these guys in the Praetorian Guard, right?"

"Yes," the boy nodded, "they are all my friends, and they are also very talented, and they will definitely occupy an important position in the Praetorian Guard in the future." ”

"I can do this," the middle-aged man's eyes stared at the boy, his gaze as sharp as a knife, "What about you? What are you going to do next?"

The boy met the middle-aged man's gaze without fear: "What I need to do now is to hide, not to let others know that you have planned to support me and wait for the opportunity to come." ”

"That makes sense," the middle-aged man showed a sneer, "Those other waste princes, I'm afraid they don't know that you're already a saint." ”

The boy's expression did not waver: "My mother is just a commoner, how can they pay attention to me? But it is because of this that I can hide myself, and by the time they finally react, it will be too late." ”

"Although you have the support of our Ralph family, and you are good enough, it does not mean that you can definitely become a king, after all, there is still a great prince. ”

"My eldest brother?" the boy shrugged, "Everyone knows that he is only obsessed with painting, and has no interest in these things at all, and my father knows that he will not let him inherit the throne." ”

"That's not necessarily," the middle-aged man said coldly, "Although those of you who often get along with the eldest prince can't see anything, but I can see that he is a very smart man, but he really has no interest in the throne, otherwise even with my help, you will not be able to overcome him, because his mother is from the Don Quixote family, and the Don Quixote family will definitely help him." ”

The boy was stunned: "Is that so?"

"I'm still very confident in my vision, otherwise I wouldn't have found you in the first place. If His Majesty really made him king, he would be just as competent. ”

"I see," the boy was silent for a moment, "but I am different from him, there are some things that he cannot do, but I will." ”

"What you want to do is big, let's wait until you become a king, even if you become a king, it will be very difficult to do, after all, it is not a good job, it will offend a lot of people. ”

"Is that you, too?"

"What do you say?" The middle-aged man did not give a clear answer: "What will happen depends on which step you can take." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and the middle-aged man frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The person who knocked on the door replied with a little trepidation: "Master, something is wrong. ”

The middle-aged man stood up: "Come in and speak." ”

"Yes. ”

The door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a guard walked in, holding a page of paper in his hand, and the middle-aged man took it in his hand and looked at it, then his face became ugly, and he scolded: "Waste." ”

The boy also stood up: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

The middle-aged man put the paper on the table: "It's a little accident in the family, I need to deal with it, you go back first." ”

"Okay, so be it, if there's anything else, I'll get to you according to the contact method agreed upon earlier. The boy walked outside, and before leaving, his eyes glanced over the piece of paper on the table, which was a report of Alison Ralph being killed in Tyson City of the Ralph family. He shook his head, and saw that someone was so bold as to kill the people of the Ralph family in the fief of the Ralph family. He knew that Alison, although it was impossible, but after all, he was also one of the candidates for the next heir of the Ralph family, and doing so was tantamount to openly provoking the Ralph family, no wonder the head of the Haggs family had such an expression.

As we all know, the northern part of the Sith Empire is a large desert, which is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive, only adventurers and desert monsters will haunt it, so although the Sith Empire is adjacent to the Orcs like the Langmu Empire, it has never been attacked, after all, the army cannot pass through this desert at all, and there is no way to talk about war. The great orcs in the north looked at this desert from afar, and seemed to be able to see the fertile land behind the desert, but they could not enter from here, and could only focus on the conquest of Griffith Xiongguan in the north of the Langmu Empire.

At this time, in this desert, there is a team of people who are fighting with demonic beasts, and the strength of this group of people is very strong among the adventurers who enter here, there are three ninth-level martial artists and one ninth-level mage, and the other nine also have eighth-level cultivation, such a lineup is already quite strong. However, these people are now at a disadvantage, even in jeopardy. They are being besieged by a group of Desert Demon Scorpions, a type of Desert Demon Scorpion that is a type of Desert Demon Beast that usually has an eight-level cultivation, and powerful individuals can reach the ninth, heaven, and even holy levels. They often act in the same group, their earthy yellow carapace makes it difficult to spot as long as they are hidden under the yellow sand, and it is also very hard, making it difficult for a samurai below level 9 to break through their carapace. In addition, they are also very poisonous, if there is no light mage to perform purification magic, a martial artist of less than level nine will be killed in a quarter of an hour, so the desert demon scorpion also has the title of desert killer, and ordinary adventurer teams can only die if they encounter it.

"Alan, what should I do?" the leader of the group shouted, "no matter what, protect the safety of Her Royal Highness." ”

The ninth-level mage in the team replied loudly, "I don't know, it is said that there should not be a Desert Demon Scorpion here, this kind of Demonic Beast is beyond our ability to deal with it. ”

"What's the use of you talking about this now?" shouted the captain, "You're a mage, think about it." ”

"I've done my best to maintain this ninth-level gravity magic, and I can't do anything else at all!" Allen replied, he is now releasing a ninth-level gravity magic, it is precisely because this magic has greatly slowed down the speed of these desert demon scorpions, and it is relatively easy to avoid the attacks of the desert demon scorpions, so that they can barely compete with the desert demon scorpions, otherwise just because of the poison of the desert demon scorpions, none of them below the ninth level will survive. In fact, just by releasing this ninth-level magic, his magic power wouldn't last long, after all, he only had a mid-ninth-level cultivation.

The captain dodged the spiked tail of a desert demon scorpion, and slashed it with a sword, after all, the captain had a late ninth level cultivation, this sword seriously injured the desert demon scorpion, but failed to kill it, and the captain could not chase it, because behind him was the princess he wanted to protect. Her Royal Highness was dressed in a white magic robe, and she was also unleashing light magic, relieving the fatigue of others and slowly healing their wounds. Her short pink hair was completely soaked with sweat, and the magic robe on her body was also attached to her body, and her smart eyes were full of tiredness and a hint of regret, if she hadn't been too curious to come here to see, it wouldn't have been.

The captain's fighting spirit is gradually running out, although they have killed dozens of desert demon scorpions, but the rest are still firmly surrounding them, and what's worse is that Eren's magic power is now exhausted, and he has to sit in the middle to meditate to recover his magic, and without Eren's gravity magic, the other team members can't deal with so many desert demon scorpions at all, and can only barely resist them with their own lives. Watching the others die in front of their eyes one by one, the captain's eyes were already bloodshot, and the despair that rose from his heart, their defeat was already doomed, and they couldn't even send Her Royal Highness the princess away.

Just as the seventh person also died, the desert demon scorpion that had been surrounding suddenly stopped, and then began to quickly retreat. The remaining five people were stunned, completely unable to believe their eyes, but those desert demon scorpions were indeed retreating quickly. The five people who survived the catastrophe sat heavily on the sand, panting for breath, and even Her Royal Highness the princess completely abandoned her reserve, after all, she was too tired. Alan gasped and asked, "How could these desert scorpions let us go?"

The captain also wondered: "I look like they are in a hurry to leave, is there something wrong?"

Suddenly, everyone's bodies froze, and they suddenly felt an inexplicable fear, which was a fear from the depths of their blood, making their bodies feel as if they were being pressed by a thousand pounds of weight, unable to move at all, and they couldn't even run their fighting qi and magic power, as if they had completely become an ordinary person. In this case, even an ordinary person with a little strength can kill them, which also makes them more and more afraid.

Suddenly, the princess's eyes widened, and from her angle, she could just see a man walking from the sand dunes in the distance. The man was wearing a black robe, and he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but he could see the long black hair floating up, and it should be a woman. Her steps were gentle, as if she were taking a walk, but inexplicably fast, as if each step had crossed a distance of dozens of steps. The woman seemed to glance at the princess, and then several people suddenly felt that the inexplicable fear disappeared, and the captain let out a long breath and asked, "What happened just now?"

Everyone shook their heads, and the princess hesitated for a moment and pointed in the direction of the woman just now: "There are people there." ”

The others turned to look in the direction the princess was pointing, and saw the figure and her strange walking. When the warrior marches quickly, he relies on the power brought by the fighting spirit, and he can cover a longer distance with one step, and the alternation between steps is also faster. However, this person is not like this, every step of her is no different from a normal walk, she looks very leisurely, but she takes a step and reaches a place dozens of steps away, and there is no sense of incongruity, as if it should have been.

The captain gasped: "It's the first time I've seen someone rushing like this, there is no doubt that she is a strong person, but I don't know how far she has reached." ”

By this time, the woman was very close to them, and soon walked in front of them, and they saw her appearance clearly. Judging from her appearance, this is a girl who is only about seventeen or eighteen years old, her dark blue eyes are as crystal as the most beautiful blue crystal, and her perfect facial features cannot find a single flaw. Her long black hair fluttered gently in the dry desert wind, looking so soft, and she could smell a little fresh fragrance. At this time, if someone said that the girl in front of them was the most beautiful girl in the world, these people would not have the slightest objection, even the princess.

The girl stopped in front of them and asked softly, "Who are you?" and her voice was as pleasant as the sound of gems colliding.

The princess was the first to come back to her senses, and subconsciously cleared her throat: "I am the seventh princess of the Sith Empire, Shelly Sheffield, they are my guards, can you tell me your name?"

"Shelly Sheffield?" the girl had a curious look in her eyes: "My name is Cang Qingyu." ”
