Imperial capital, imperial capital.

In this world, the imperial capital has a special meaning. Or it can be said that "empire" has a special meaning. And this special thing lies in one sentence -

Those who do not have a sanctuary do not have a country.

A country without saints can only be called a home, not a country.

This is the tradition and rule of this continent since ancient times.

But what if an empire's Sacred Domain can't inherit it, that is, there is a fault in the inheritance of power at this level?

This is rare, but not impossible. And when this happens, it means that the empire will automatically be downgraded to a "principality". This principality does not refer to the Grand Duchy, but to the "Public State".

What is a public state?

In the world of a certain children's shoes in the previous life, there was a saying in ancient China that could not be better used here, that is, "Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it!"

As for how to chase together, anyway, it is nothing more than external and internal cooperation. In short, all the big and small families have their own strategies to see who can grab the plate. And when the plate is grabbed, no matter what means are used, whether it is Huairou or iron blood, in short, after purging the internal forces, the country will get rid of the identity of the principality and become a "subject country".

A subject nominally subordinate to an empire.

This is the basic situation and the overall pattern of change.

But when it comes to reality, the situation is complicated. In fact, needless to say, the competition for power and power has always been treacherous. There are all kinds of strange things, and any kind of situation may occur, as the saying goes, only the unthinkable, nothing can be done.

Let's not go any further.

And having said so much, it is just to emphasize one point, that is, in this world, when the word "imperial capital" flashes, its focus is not the secret history of the emperor's family, nor the affairs of princes and princesses, nor is it some cats collectively running naked on the streets, but only one, and there will always be only one-

Sanctuary!

In this world, any empire, any cultivator of the empire, when mentioning and thinking about the imperial capital, the first thing that flashes in his mind is "Almighty!"

At this time, somewhere in the imperial capital of the Mauri Country, there were two powerful men sitting opposite each other.

Specifically, a mighty person and a quasi-mighty person.

At this time, there was a man named Sharjah in Redstone Town, and there was a teacher in Sharjah named Yeni. Yeni is this quasi-mighty one. And sitting opposite it was the person who would like to be called "Lord" by the Quasi-Almighty.

The expressions and demeanors of the two of them were very peaceful, and they did not look much different from ordinary old men on the street.

And if compared with the two, one of them is obviously more peaceful, and the other, although generally peaceful, but around his body, there is a faint oscillation of an inexplicable fluctuation, in the fluctuation, the four-color brilliance, from time to time flickering and disappearing.

The brilliance is like rain, like fog, like dew, like electricity.

At this time, if there were other magicians present, or even just nearby, whether they were magic apprentices, mages, or even archmages, they would be so frightened that they would be horrified to find that when that brilliance flashed, their elemental senses would be completely deprived of them silently.

"Yenny, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and you've already come this far, much faster than I thought. The peaceful old man said to the not-so-peaceful old man, Yeni.

"I wouldn't have been able to get this far without adults. Yeni said, not getting up and bowing, nor bowing his hands, but speaking calmly.

For those who have reached certain heights, many expressions have long been indispensable. ...,

"However, I didn't expect to take that step so quickly, and it wasn't something I expected. After a pause, Yeni said with a slight smile this time.

"Yes, the appearance of that little guy is something that no one expected. Of course, the peaceful old man knew what Yeni was referring to, so the topic naturally flowed, "Not only did we not expect it, but they definitely did not expect it either. ”

This "they", of course, Yeni also knows what they are referring to.

He didn't know before, or he knew something but wasn't sure for sure, but when the adult on the other side made a move, something could be determined. Besides, who on this land can be worthy of the solemn call "they" by the adult opposite?

When you go to the poor place of water and sit and watch the clouds rise, it is a kind of spiritual realm. Walking to the place where the water and clouds are exhausted, sitting and watching the sun and moon in the blue sky, it is a realistic ascending height.

When the water clouds disperse, the sky is clear, and there are three things in the sky: the sun, moon and stars.

If he is a star now, the adult opposite is the moon, and the "they" are the sun.

Xingzi didn't care about the sun and the moon, Ye Ni cautiously kept silent on the topic of "them", so he naturally passed by: "My chance is better than your original chance, my adult, but my disciple's chance is better than my teacher's chance." ”

"Yes, that's true, you little apprentice, I remember that this year seems to be less than a palm?"

"Forty-two!" added Yeni.

"A forty-year-old mage, or a mid-level mage, tsk!" the peaceful old man shook his head after nodding just now, "The afterlife is terrifying! Seeing you rise up one by one, I am relieved and emotional. When I saw you, I realized that I was really old. ”

"Your Excellency, this is not true at all. Yeni smiled, "Your Excellency, you are much younger than many people!"

Yeni was telling the truth, and there was no flattery.

But the next one is a little supportive: "If adults can take another step, it will not be young, but childish." ”

Only a quasi-powerful person can say that a powerful person is "childish" in this situation.

"One more step, hey, it's that simple. The peaceful old man also smiled, "Even you need to refer to this step, let alone the next step." It's up to our little friend when he can surprise us. ”

After saying this, after a pause, the peaceful old man said again: "Follow the waves, cut off the crowd, cover the heavens and the earth, hehe, cut off the crowd, the mainland will soon have another mage." ”

Although the mage is like the pillar of the country, in front of a powerful person, the so-called mage is just a "little mage", and generally speaking, he will never be put in his eyes. And now, when the Almighty said so, it meant that it was anything but "usual". Of course, this is also the case.

If you cut off the crowd, the mage may not be able to understand its meaning, but those who understand its meaning will definitely be promoted to the mage. In this regard, even Archmage Thaler had told Sharjah before, not to mention the two who were powerful and quasi-powerful.

Ye Ni said: "Fang Tian Xiaoyou's promotion to the mage is already in front of me, I don't know how the adults plan to arrange the next step?"

"Isn't there only eight cities in Linhai, there are already a lot of people in that redstone town now, and the town is a city. The peaceful old man said lightly, "Of course, they have to agree." But I don't think they're going to object. ”...,

"My lord, what do they mean, don't you let Fang Tian Xiaoyou return?" The topic turned back to "them" again, Ye Ni finally couldn't help it, and asked this question that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.

But as soon as he said this, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't find out.

Sure enough, when the peaceful old man heard this, he shook his head, and then smiled slightly: "Go back, where to return?"

That's enough! That's enough!

Ye Ni only felt a sudden shock in his body and mind, and in a short time, even the promotion process suddenly intensified a lot.

The vision determines the pattern, and the pattern determines the level.

Yeni's previous vision was only in the Empire, and it was only slightly outside. Later, because of the promotion of strength, the vision was naturally broadened. But it wasn't until now, with the reminder of the adult opposite, that he completely got rid of the trap of being an archmage, and truly advanced to the level where the water and clouds have dispersed and the talent is clear.

Yes, for "them", this whole continent is just a thing in the palm of their hands, where does it come from inside and outside, where does it come from, where does it come from, and where does it come from?

Speaking of inside and outside, far and near, and returning, that is only the vision of an archmage, not the vision of a Sacred Realmer.

"Alas!" said Yeni as he sat across from him, sighing faintly.

Then, he stood up and bowed to the person opposite.

After sitting down again, Ye Ni sighed again and said, "I originally wanted to be friends with adults, and it is because of this that I resisted the temptation to leave from adults twenty years ago. I don't want to be twenty years later, but I can't escape the friendship of adults in the end. My lord, your behavior is really unkind!"

"Haha!" The peaceful old man laughed loudly, and after a while, he stopped laughing and said: "Ye Ni, when I saw you, I wanted to accept you as a disciple, but you have another inheritance, so I can only give up this plan." At this time, I have a chance to give it to you, how can I let it go!"

"Well, from now on, my lord, you just declare that I am your student from the outside, and I will not object. Ye Ni pretended to be aggrieved and said, of course, it was also to show closeness and attitude, "Anyway, if you get a great sage as a teacher, the students will not lose no matter how you calculate it." ”

Hearing this, the peaceful old man just laughed, of course, it was inevitable to be proud, and after a long time, he turned calm and said lightly: "I am extremely relieved that you can enter the holy realm. In fact, your inheritance is very missing, and whether you can take this step is only half of the way. But twenty years ago, with your temperament, although I was a big person, it was not easy for me to speak, I only thought about it, and I would talk about it in the future. ”

After a pause, after Ye Ni digested the information, the peaceful old man continued: "After the matter, I won't say much about this, but in the future, I have inherited some good gadgets, but I can communicate with you." ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" said Yennie this time, standing up, bowing, and respectfully.

Respect for its affection, respect for its virtue.

Along the way, there was such an elder watching, although Ye Ni was about to enter the holy realm at this time, his feelings were still stirred.

Such an elder is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master.

In other words, his status as a student can actually be changed to the status of half a disciple...... ）
