"Baron, you'd better come. Xia He said to Nietzsche: "In addition, I grant you the title of viscount, and you can raise your own army, which is three thousand people." There is no need to follow the Empire's staff, and if there is a lack of manpower, you can temporarily seconded it with Freya. You can also select talents in your family. ”

Nietzsche was overjoyed, he followed Xia He and did his best, not for the improvement of his personal strength.

For him, family is important.

Xia He asked him to raise an army of 3,000 people, which means that if he trusts him, his family will also be protected by the duke. In fact, the Duke has done a good job in this regard, and among his family, some of the more important bloodlines have gone to Cape Storm, some have come to Sun City, and some have gone to the underground world.

Even if someone targets him, the family's bloodline will definitely be preserved.

"Smith, you organize a second expeditionary force and go to Red Sea City to have a look, we have bled enough half-elves there to almost consolidate it. ”

Smith paused for a moment, then quickly reacted, stood up and saluted, and accepted orders.

Xia He successively named and assigned the tasks after he left, and when the assignment was almost over, he said: "If Freya is not there, all the affairs of the Duke's Palace will be taken over by Medirli." Medirli is not here, and Smith is in charge. In Smith's absence, Jack commanded temporarily. ”

Cotton Jack was about to speak, but Xia He stopped him and said, "I'm on the side of Storm Point, so naturally I have disciples, but there is no one who can be in charge of commanding yet." In the future, I will naturally go back to the authority of the Duke's Palace, and there is a hierarchy. I won't let me go out of many ways when I'm not there. ”

Xia He has absolute authority, and after he finished speaking, no one objected.

But then there are trivial matters, the upper echelons of Sun City, there are also things to ask Xia He, during this period of time he is in retreat and practice, and many things have been accumulated and not dealt with.

After everyone dispersed, Smith stayed behind and said to Xia Hedao: "Teacher, why give me permission, you know that I am not good at managing anything at all." ”

Xia He thought for a moment and said, "Do you know my relationship with Freya?"

Smith shook his head and said, "I know the teacher absolutely trusts her. ”

"Because if I die in the Atlas, she won't survive. Although Medirli is not good at commanding, she is the most powerful person in the Duke's Palace, and if she lives, she can take you down. If she's finished, I don't count on you. I just hope you'll take advantage of these resources. ”

"Teacher!"

"I mean, in case, who can guarantee immortality? I am now a legend, which is the Yang God Realm I told you, and under normal circumstances, a demigod mage cannot completely kill me, unless it is a true god or a place like Juno's City. ”

Smith closed his lips tightly, and forcefully removed the Yellow Spring Escape Talisman from his neck, and gave it to Xia He.

Xia He casually put it back on him, and said, "This is just the Five Elements Escape Technique, I have achieved the Yang God now, and I can go underground by myself, and I don't need this thing." ”

"What if I can use it?" said Smith again.

Xia He held his hand and said, "Smith, the trouble I will face in the future will be far greater than this time. If you really want your teacher to be immortal, then work hard to practice, and like your senior sister, you can help me. ”

Smith's eyes were red, all the while, he had been concentrating on practicing swordsmanship, and he didn't have to worry about anything else. Suddenly, the teacher was going on an expedition to arrange things behind him, leaving him at a loss and a little overwhelmed.

If Medirri was here, she wouldn't be like this, she wouldn't!

"Smith, don't be blinded by this kind of thing, your strength is enough, what I need is that you have a realm and can live forever, not a short-term explosion of combat power. If I need to, I can make a few legends right now. ”

"Yes, teacher!" Smith agreed, standing there like a sword.

Lonely, and sad.

Xia He is relieved that Smith will always grow up and will remember today. People can't live without goals, and they can't get by. Medirli knew what she wanted, but Smith was still young.

It's not a difference in age, in fact Medirri isn't that big.

But growing up among pirates since she was a child made her mature earlier.

"Smith, Shrek, if I live, he will have absolutely no problem. If I die, guess what will happen to him?"

Smith pursed his lips and said, "This person is ambitious, I don't recognize him as my fellow disciple." ”

"Yes, he has ambitions, but Medirli can hold him down. If I'm gone...... If Medirri isn't there......"

"I'll kill him. ”

"But he's still your classmate, you know?"

Smith thought for a moment and said, "I understand, I'm targeting things, not him. ”

"That's good. Do you have anything else to do?"

"It's gone. Smith was a little discouraged, he originally wanted to talk about his progress in swordsmanship, but Xia He's atmosphere made him unable to say anything. His little progress did not help the teacher in any way.

"Your swordsmanship is almost formed, after I leave, you go to Red Sea City, you don't have to leave your hands. I'll ask the people of Metatrin to take care of you and make sure that the Half-Elf Legend doesn't go against you. ”

"Yes. ”

"Then you go. Xia He saw that he didn't object, and knew that this kid was finally smart. It is worth investing in him now, provided that he does not fall.

"Teacher!"

"What else?" Xia He looked at Smith, the young man's eyes had regained their composure. He suddenly walked up, lowered his head, and hugged Xia He hard.

Xia He was taken aback, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"I will try to form an expeditionary force and defeat the half-elves...... Fight and disappear. ”

"I'll get Abigail back and do you a favor, and by the time you can go on the expedition, she'll be pretty much legendary. ”

Smith grimaced and said, "Why, all of them are legendary?"

"You're almost there, too. ”

"I'm not in a hurry, teacher, then you're busy, I'm going to practice swords. Smith retired, looking preoccupied.

Before Xia He could get busy, Freya came with another message: "My lord, you have to come over in person." ”

"Storm Horn in person?"

"Yes. ”

"How serious?"

"It's not serious, no matter how serious it is, I can fix it. I found a child, a baby to be exact. The qualifications are very good, you have to come and see them. ”

When Xia He heard this, he immediately ran to the teleportation array and teleported directly to Storm Corner.

Seeing Freya, she was holding a baby less than a year old in her arms, with a white and pure face, slightly large eyes, and looked down at Xia He curiously.

As soon as Xia He's divine sense was scanned, he found that this child's soul was extremely pure, and his physical qualifications were needless to say.

Sure enough, it is a seedling of cultivation, mainly because the soul is clean to this extent, and you can cultivate the Six Dao Divine Embers. But he's not even a year old!

"Where did it come from?"

"Inside the goblin ruins, a peasant couple gave birth. ”

"You can't snatch other people's children!"

"Didn't snatch it, the couple was accidentally poisoned and died, the child was left at home and no one cared about it, your student found it and wanted to adopt it, and I saw it. ”

"Poisoned? in the goblin ruins, how can it be?"

"It's said to be a relic, gold dug out of the ground, and it's poisonous. ”

Xia He remembered that in the beginning, many people buried their wealth here and came back to take it later. Someone still poisoned gold?

If it weren't for doing so many things themselves, this child's parents wouldn't have dug up this kind of thing.

Xia He sighed, the farmers in the underground world are all quite reliable, have good physical fitness, and are also professionals who think that they have been promoted, and they grow crops that are eaten by the Daomen.

Originally, this child would only be tested when he was three years old, and he would be sent to the Dao Palace to study when he was six years old.

Wretched......

"You personally take care of him, put him in the Dao Palace, and in terms of diet, it is according to the standards of the core disciples. Anyway, it's already like this, first cultivate his body well, and then become a Taoist priest and be my disciple. ”

"My lord, then give him a name. ”

"It's called...... Xia Shang. ”

"What about the names of the world?"

"Let's call him Asteria Xia. ”

"Asteria, I wish he could learn from you. Freya pinched the baby's face with her fingers, and Asteria giggled.

"That's good. Xia He admired that not every baby can judge whether the person facing him has malicious intentions towards him.

"It's very nice. Freya laughed.

Xia He nodded, took out a piece of chalcedony, and released the fire in his palm, with a trace of thunder, and the chalcedony was refined into a small jade plaque with a slight roar, pure and flawless, without any pattern.

So Freya took out a leather bag, stuffed the jade plaque into it, sealed it with a rope, and hung it around Asteria's neck.

Xia He stroked the baby's forehead with his fingers, and a little strength penetrated into it.

This power is mellow and gentle, and will steadily nourish the sea of the baby's soul, not the soul itself.

This is Xia He's chosen apprentice, who wants to inherit the mantle, and his soul must be independent. It's like Xia He's own soul, which has never been interfered with by human interference, and has grown up by his own cultivation.

Even if the Taiyin Immortal Mansion was about to perish, his teacher didn't do anything to pull out the seedlings and help them grow.

Xia He took out another jade bottle, handed it to Freya and said, "This, you often give him a rub in the dantian." ”

"Is it the Six Lives Talisman?"

"Well, so that he can practice for three years earlier, and he doesn't have to wait until he is six years old. ”

"Will it be promoted too quickly?" Freya asked worriedly.

"No, when he is almost the same, I will take him to the Broken Abyss, let him feel it, and then he will be able to practice honestly. ”

"Well, I'm not going to teach kids anything anyway. Freya shook her arms and looked at Asteria with a smile, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Daojun has a selected heir, and the Taiyin Immortal Mansion will have incense again.
