213 Hometown (continued)

The second largest city in the south of the Wright Empire, 'Cantinho', Auval Castle, is now the temporary residence of the Emperor of the Wright Empire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sophomandis, dressed in military uniform, sat in an unpretentious chair, his face was pale, obviously a little weak, but his expression was calm, his arm trembled slightly, he picked up a report from the table, looked at it a few times, and then gently put it back.

"So, you still don't get any information about the attackers in the Duchy of Havest?"

His deep voice echoed in the empty room, obviously mellow, but it made the attendant officer in charge of the report can't help but tighten his back, as if he had been slipped off by an invisible ice block, and just wanted to leave the emperor's sight as soon as possible...... But now he had to bite the bullet and continue to answer.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. ”

The attendant spoke quickly: "Despite the images provided by Master Merrak, all the attackers we have encountered in the Duchy of Havest have no trace at all, we don't know who they are, we don't know where they came from, we don't know how they left - they suddenly appeared out of thin air in the world as if they were specifically targeting your army. ”

"Ahem......"

Sophomandis coughed lightly, squinting in thought. Although the divine power of death was reversed and expelled, after all, his body had really died once, and it was impossible to be unaffected in the slightest, but he was only weak as if he was seriously ill for a few days, and he could not judge political affairs until today, which was much stronger than the miserable situation on Doug's side.

"We believe that there must be some god behind this group of people, and their actions are very consistent with the characteristics of divine magic. ”

The attendant plucked up the courage to add. He had mobilized all his forces, and several of the army's high-ranking mages and warlocks had been sent to assist in the investigation, and there were signs that it was very much like an operation that was secretly supported by some gods.

"Well, keep investigating. ”

Sopmandis replied simply, even in his illness, his long dark red hair was still meticulously combed behind him, "Master Merrak and Master Dubey, what are they doing now?"

"This ...... Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for the inability to do anything. ”

The acolyte smiled bitterly, "The residences of several masters are not close at all, not even from a distance, and the interior has been turned into a dead magic area. ”

β€œ...... Get your men out. ”

Sophomandis gave the order softly, not discerning joy or anger. Sophomandis maintained basic suspicion of these mysterious mages who suddenly appeared and claimed to be there to fulfill the agreement, but the other party's methods are strange and changeable, and there is no effective way to monitor them now - but as an emperor, Sopmandis actually doesn't care, no matter what intentions these mysterious mages have, the Sanin and the Cult of Radiance behind him are the biggest reliance, and any conspiracy is ridiculous in the face of absolute transcendent power...... Therefore, the right thing for him to do now is to take advantage of the arrival of many heretical gods to expand the power of the Cult of Radiant God as much as possible.

"Order, the follow-up troops to speed up their march, we must, within a month, 'retake the Duchy of Havest from the hands of evil heretics and restore order to the Duchy of Haveste'. ”

After thinking for a moment, Sophomandis gave new instructions in his calm and weak voice, and the attendant officer suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and quickly went to the desk to draft military orders according to Sopmandis's orders.

......

When the squire took the sealed documents from the hands of the future Crimson Emperor and galloped out of the castle, in the house of a luxurious aristocratic country house on the hillside not far away, several black-robed mages were clearly observing the scene of Thorpmandis's dormitory through a strange crystal.

"I can't find any sign of it. ”

Fikuda, who is good at healing, watched Sopmandis in amazement and sighed heartily, "It's the first time I've seen someone recover from the erosion of death's divine power without using 'Faharu's mercy'...... It's amazing!"

"Actually, he didn't. ”

Merrak, who was always cold-spoken, snorted, "He was dead by then, I'm pretty sure...... I guess the same is true for you, otherwise you would have drunk a few tubes of potions to cure your eyes. ”

"We're all pretty sure. ”

Dube, the most prestigious of the group, waved his hand to stop Fikuda's irony, "However, we have all seen that he has awakened from death for no reason, and even escaped the power of death altogether...... The only thing we have been able to do this in our long track record is toβ€”"

He didn't speak, and he and a few of his companions exchanged a few glances, and though they didn't say anything, they made sure that everyone was on the same page and knew what he meant.

"The Eternal Compass is indeed correct,"

The black-robed man named Okede spoke in a deep voice, "So, what should we do next? ”

He called the names of the gods without respect, seemingly unafraid of being sensed.

"We are De Kopilivo. ”

A hint of solemnity flashed across Dube's face, "Starting from our distant ancestors, we have abandoned everything to guard secrets and treasures that no one knows, just to fulfill that agreement, and ...... Escape from this cage together - and now we have finally waited for the harbingers of the eternal compass. ”

He glanced up, and several of his companions were slightly excited, after all, as a secret society that could only lurk silently until the promised omen appeared, after the death of the ancestors, the inheritors of the inheritance for a long time would face confidence problems, and now that the omen has finally appeared and some things have been confirmed on the side, it is a great encouragement for them.

"Since the Eternal Compass points the Eye of Death at the Emperor's enemy, let's go and destroy him once and for allβ€”even if it's Faharu!"

......

......

Meanwhile, looking down on Tafian's secret laboratory.

From the moment he learned about Doug's hometown, Fifian had always wanted to see it. In her daily communication, she already knew most of the things that happened to Doug after he went to Xi'an, including the years when he spent years in the underworld, but Doug never mentioned his hometown, until this time Fio 'accidentally' got a bacon sausage from his hometown, and learned the name of the town in the southern part of the Wright Empire: Monte.

Fifian wondered why Doug hadn't mentioned his hometown before, and what secret was there?

So Doug was very irritated by her these days, just a broken village, where is there any bullshit secret? It's just that when he came out of his hometown, he made a bold statement that he wanted to go to the Wangdu Martial Arts Academy to mix up his personal appearance, but he degenerated into a disgraceful violent element, and it was easy to get in touch with West, but before he could get any status, he was caught by Fifian and became a god directly...... Now it's really embarrassing to go back and meet those familiar people, and I will definitely ask myself very enthusiastically how I am doing in Xi'an, I can't tell the hunters and farmers in the village that I have become a god now, right?

- It would become the joke of the year, and it would be passed down for a hundred years in this small closed mountain village.

"Let's go, just go and stay for a few days~Okay~"

Fifian put her arm around Doug and coquettishly. For her at this moment, any redundant angels, dark territories, orc induction plans, etc., etc., are not as important as going back to his hometown with Doug. Although the relationship between Doug and her began with a series of inconsistencies, now that the two have developed into such a relationship, it is necessary to take this relationship and this man, especially his past, seriously - the best way to understand this person is to be familiar with a person's upbringing.

"Do we have that much to spare? There are still a lot of important things that need to be dealt with as soon as possible! Especially those De Kopiliwo around Sopmandis, they have all seen Sopmandis resurrected with their own eyes, and if Sanin knows about it when he prays, and then grabs my magic clues from Sopmandis, the situation will be very bad!"

Doug frowned and tried to divert the girl's attention, there are still many important things to deal with now, and not returning to his hometown is not something that should be considered now!

With the support of Linax's secret medicine, his body recovered quickly, but the slightly damaged divine soul made him temporarily unable to use the law of conservation as he wanted, fortunately, the Ray Aibet emblem, which was secretly attached to the conservation god system, has been developing well recently, and has accumulated a lot of energy through the 'commission' in the exchange, and can apply the conservation magic by consuming its own stored divine power, but the amount of energy and the scope of application are relatively limited.

"De Kopilivo won't pray to Sanin. ”

Fifian blurted out without thinking, and then was slightly stunned, and blinked a little puzzled: "Hey, why do I know...... Ah, by the way, I remember reading a document that said that even at the end of the Age of the Gods, after the identity of Dekopilivo was revealed, no one had ever seen them go to Baissanin!"

"What about Borg Fixer?"

Doug didn't notice the slightest confusion in Fifian's memory, and still tried to get the girl to focus on business, "I've been recuperating for several days, and all kinds of plans that were originally going to make a mess for it have been delayed, and Linax's side has carried out some of them, but what about you?

"It doesn't matter, it's enough to have you and Linax's plan......! That's it...... Experiment...... Hey, it's weird, why do you feel weird, like you've forgotten something?"

Fifian's big eyes flashed in confusion, and it felt as if something wasn't quite right.

"I said brother, at this time, Borg Fixer estimates that he has already sorted out most of the time clues that confuse judgments, so don't make any big moves for the time being. ”

Fio, who was originally playing a guessing game with his mechanical assistant Puff on the side, suddenly spoke loudly, interrupting Fifian's thoughts, secretly wiping a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and the extremely faint cyan light on the fingers behind his back was slowly dissipating: "Considering your current situation and current situation, the best choice is to carefully shrink your head and hide, and try to live like an ordinary person during this time, so as not to cause any fluctuations in divine power." ”

"Huh, why so fast?"

Doug's expression was cold, and he narrowed his eyes and stared at Fio. Remembering that the boy seemed to have said that their actions, especially the attack on Gasties, had greatly disrupted Borg Fixer's judgment and delayed his actions, and now told him that Borg Fixer had already looked up most of the leads...... If you report to the boss like this in Xi'an's gang, it is estimated that you will not have the next chance to see the boss, and if you are unlucky and meet a grumpy person, you will be beaten half to death directly.

"Don't you know?...... Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you about this - the reason that guy was so fast was because the notoriously naked Fettmaster among the gods of this plane took the initiative to meet him and act as his assistant,"

Fio said with an expression that he had just remembered something insignificant, "Because of the 'locals' to help sort out the relationship between cause and effect, Borg Fixer can find clues in time and space at least six times faster, and if we use magic involving cause and effect during this period, it will be very easy to expose." ”

"And you're only telling me now?"

Doug stared at Fio fiercely, his eyes unkind.

"Anyway, your soul is so badly injured, and your divine power is basically zero, you can't do anything, it's the same whether you know it or not. ”

Fio sat on the experimental table next to him with a volley, as if he didn't notice Doug's eyes: "Don't worry, I have a number, nothing will happen." ”

...... I really want to kick this stinky boy.

Doug rubbed his forehead, looking at Fio's grinning face, only to feel that his feet itched terribly. His mood is a little complicated now, on the one hand, Fio has unreservedly taught the top secrets of the law of conservation, which is definitely something that only the closest person can do, on the other hand, this kid has repeatedly provoked himself to be full of anger for some reason, even if he knows that he is a so-called sequence angel and has extremely strong power beyond the rules, he often can't help but want to punch his ass.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Doug secretly used the oracle to contact Linax to confirm that there were no important events that needed attention recently, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Among the few people in front of him, the one he trusted the most was the Dragon Lich, both in terms of ability and personality, which was very much in line with Doug's expectations.

"In that case, we should go to your hometown! Didn't you say that it was very closed?"

Fifian unreservedly believed Fio's assurance, and looked at Doug with big eyes flashing, "Fio said, live like an ordinary person!"

"With the tracking of Borg Fexer and the further development of events after the arrival of the gods, many places on the continent will no longer be peaceful, and places like the Tower of Overlook are destined to attract the attention of countless people, and this place is no longer suitable for us to station...... A small, calm and remote mountain village is a good choice to hide from the eyes of the gods and goddesses, and the closed nature of the living environment will greatly reduce the chance of tracing our causal line from other clues. ”

On the other side, Linax, who had received Fio's secret message, also spoke up, "At the same time, the quiet environment is also a good place to recuperate, my lord god. ”

"Then why don't you just find a remote city and nest for a few days?"

Linax's suggestion made Doug's brow furrow even more, he really didn't want to go back.

The time to become a god is too short, and the characteristics of a god in him at this moment are still very rare, and the characteristics of human beings still occupy the protagonist, so now he is not a god, but just an ordinary person who is afraid to return to his hometown because he is not famous, afraid of seeing the disappointed eyes of his relatives.

...... Or rather, the fame he has now mixed up with is so great that it is too big to play a role in this matter at all.

"Doug!"

Fifian was a little upset, of course she knew that her reasons were far-fetched, but this was not the point, the point was that she wanted to go to Doug's hometown, to get to know him, and to further deepen the relationship between the two......! Hey, could it be that there is another woman in his hometown?

The girl looked at Doug suspiciously, and her mind began to tilt in this direction involuntarily, and for a while countless similar plots in the novels she had read erupted, making her distracted for a short time.

"You can't eat such delicious bacon sausages anywhere else!"

Fio yelled to add to Doug's irritation. "And I haven't been back for so long, maybe there will be some surprises!"

Well, it's definitely a big 'surprise'...... The boy smirked to himself, suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and whispered a new order to his mechanical assistant: "Oh yes, poof, set the schedule, remember to remind me to run away before my mother finds out about that woman...... I don't want to relive her madness in a new plane......"

Bacon sausage......

Hearing this word, Doug's mind was slightly in a trance, and the nostalgic taste vaguely appeared on the tip of his tongue, and the memories in his mind also evoked the parts related to his hometown, and the joys of childhood and the warmth of family floated past his eyes, making his irritable mood gradually subside.

"Well, it's good to go back and take a look, it takes time to recover your divine power anyway, and it will be the same wherever you go. ”

Doug let out a rare sigh, finally agreed to Fifian's request, and then suddenly a trace of anticipation and excitement rose in his heart, as if something had suddenly broken in his heart.

Speaking of which, he hadn't been home once since he arrived in Xi'an, and the only communication was a few letters from traveling merchants...... I don't know what my relatives in my hometown look like now......

"Hey, that's great!"

Fifian came back to his senses, happily hugged Doug at once, pouted and kissed him several times, "That's right! We're going to have a great time there! And the air is fresh and quiet, it's perfect for learning, and your knowledge will improve rapidly!"

β€œ......”

Doug suddenly felt a little regretful.

"In what capacity are you going to appear in front of the people of your hometown, my lord?"

Linax, who has a lot of experience, understands Doug's current mood very well, and also understands what he is struggling with, "I have here four fiefdoms in the territory of the Wright Empire, all of which were collected when I lived in human society before, and the inheritance is clear, there will be no disputes, and it is sure that it is still valid...... You can choose one of them. ”

"Aristocrats?"

Doug's eyes flickered, a little moved. Linax was steady, he must have done it before he spoke, he said that the inheritance of the title in his hand was fine, then it must be so, as long as Doug took a random document and signed his name, he would immediately become a member of the aristocracy of the Wright Empire - just like those daydreams he had in the dark world of Xi'an.

However, using such an identity to face the people of your hometown is like cheating......

"Forget it,"

Doug finally shook his head. At this moment, Doug, who had been struggling to survive in Xi'an's underground world for several years, and even committed himself to being the thug of the 'Fly of the Royal Capital' West in order to get ahead, temporarily faded, and the once innocent and simple young man from the mountain village briefly appeared, "If we go back as a nobleman, I'm afraid no one will open the door for us...... You know, nobility is not a good word in our country...... The biggest imaginary enemy of a child playing a battle game is the aristocratic butler who comes to collect taxes......"

He seemed to remember something, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"And what kind of identity are you going to have?"

Linax didn't look surprised, and immediately came up with some other plans: "I have certificates of completion from major colleges here, as well as identity tokens for seven medium-sized organizations in different industries......"

β€œ...... No need. ”

Doug waved his hand lightly and turned his head to look at Fifian in his arms: "Just use my true identity." ”

"True identity, god of conservation?"

Fifian didn't understand what Doug meant.

"Nope. ”

Doug recalled the scene of the first encounter with Fifian, a trace of malice flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly reached out and slapped her bouncy little ass hard: "It's the bodyguard of the genius lady of the Tower of Tops!"

"Yikes...... Badass!"

......

"It's incredible,"

Looking at Doug and Fifian, who were stuck in the world of the two of them, Fio touched his smooth chin and looked thoughtful, "It's actually the 'bacon sausage' that works?...... In this way, the reason why I can't get rid of the temptation of food at this height is really because both the paternal and maternal lines are foodies?......" (To be continued.) )
