【Nittelland Empire・Hale Family】

A huge square, in the center stands a giant sculpture tens of meters high, that is three people, the largest in the middle is the first holy lord, sacred and majestic, on the left is the first emperor of the Neterland Empire, on the right is the first head of the Hale family.

In the square are almost all the members of the Hale family, who have come together to celebrate the "blessing in disguise" of Esch Hale as one of the ten most powerful men on the road.

As the main character, Ash is absent-minded, and he knows that he is entangled in the matter of Qingying, "How could Qingying kill me? Ash held a wine glass in his hand and kept pouring red wine into his mouth, but he didn't taste anything, and he didn't know when he drank it, holding an empty glass, which looked funny.

Lancher hurried over, and after learning that Ash was not only not dead, but also became an apostle, he felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and Ash had grown up like his own child. Lancher looked stunned when he saw Esie leaning into the long dining table with an empty goblet in his mouth. Lancher walked quickly and patted Ash on the shoulder: "Stinky boy, scared me to death, I thought you were dead!" This sudden slap startled Ash, the wine glass in his hand slipped down, Ash was startled, a flash of light flashed in his pupils, the wine glass fell very slowly, as if it was still, Ash frowned, and when he looked back, Lancher actually seemed to be sluggish, still stretching out his hand and opening his mouth.

Suddenly, everything was restored again, and with a "snap", the glass shattered on the ground. Ash was stunned, and his heart was inexplicable: "What's going on?" Lan Che saw that Ash was stunned, and asked softly: "Ash, what's wrong with you? This kid can't be stupid, right?" Lan Che shook his hand in front of Ash. Ash shrank back and slapped Lancher's hand away: "Grandpa Lancher, what are you doing?" Lancher hugged him when he saw that Ash was fine, and said excitedly, "It's great to see that you're okay." ”

At this time, on the other side of the square, a young man dressed in black looked at Esch not far away with a gloomy face, "Ash Hale, why don't you die, if you die, I will inherit the family's property and become the next head of the family, but why!" His heart was full of hatred and jealousy. Saying that, he left alone.

The man in black walked to the river, looked at the sparkling water, became even more angry, picked up a stone, and threw it into the river with all his might, "Why! Why am I waiting below him!" At this time, a deep voice came: "The young man is coming, ......" The man in black was startled, and suddenly looked around, and finally saw a person wrapped in pitch black sitting in the bridge hole of a bridge not far away, and he couldn't see the appearance clearly.

He walked over and asked cautiously, "Are you calling me?" The man in the dark shadow suddenly came out with a hand, and rushed towards the man with a pitch-black light, tying him up and dragging him towards the black shadow. "Ahh

In the dark shadow, a man appeared, with a very powerful aura on his body, but he was covered in blood and seriously injured. "Young man, I see that you seem to have a strong hatred in your heart. Let's hear it. "The voice is weak, but there is no doubt about it. The man shuddered a little, and said, "My name is Loki Hale...... and then he told Eich that he had been assassinated and that he had been a blessing in disguise.

The man in the dark shadow smiled: "Yes, this is the person I am looking for." He stood up with difficulty, put one hand on Loki's shoulder, and said, "Loki, are you willing to accept the inheritance of the night, you will become a great apostle of the night......!"

Loki slowly opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings, the man had disappeared, Loki looked at his body and felt a powerful force tumbling in his body, "Haha, great!"

"Hey, Loki, what are you doing hiding here, why don't you go back soon!" Loki could hear the voice of a brother who had been having an unpleasant relationship with Loki. Loki walked out step by step, using the surging soul power in his body, "Count you unlucky, now you try." With that, with a wave of his hand, a stream of black energy erupted from under the man's feet, engulfing him in an instant, only to hear a piercing scream "Ah......" Loki laughed arrogantly: "Hahahaha...... Ash, you wait for me, taste my painful embrace!ahahaha......"

【Nittelland Empire・Imperial Arena】

It's another quadrennial Empire Youth Tournament, and every time the tournament is played, the entire empire boils.

The format of the competition is very simple, a single duel, one person for every two people will be selected, and finally the first place will be selected and the reward given by the emperor will be obtained.

After a few rounds, a tall young man caught people's attention, his name was Rengar, the young master of the Lei family, one of the four major families, he was extremely talented and powerful, and no matter who he met, he could always defeat him within a few rounds. Esch also participated in the tournament and was also in the spotlight.

There was not much suspense, and both of them rushed into the final with crushing momentum, and he was the only one in the huge arena. In Rengar's hand was the ancestral weapon, the Eternal Spear, a spear with lightning in its veins. Eschi, on the other hand, was empty-handed, and he didn't have the weapons he had at his disposal.

"Ash Hale, are you going to fight me like this, and don't rely on me to bully you if you lose. Rengar slung his spear over his shoulder and said arrogantly. Ash was also helpless, he didn't find a suitable weapon, and rushed to the finals with only one soul power, "Don't talk nonsense, come on!"

"Hehe, take it!" As he spoke, Reingar's luck and soul power, the electric light flowed on the surface of his body, and the momentum was compelling, and he swung his spear, jumped forward, and rushed towards Eshi. A golden light flashed in Eshy's eyes, and a blade made of only light flew towards Rengar. Rengar was startled and used his spear to resist the blow, but the blade was so powerful that Rengar's hands felt a little numb after he landed. "You kid is playing yin!" Rengar was angry, but still rushed over with a spear in hand.

Seeing that the blow had no effect, Esch stretched out his hands, and the brilliance in his palms flowed, and two transparent short swords appeared, forming weapons with soul power! Ash also rushed forward, dancing his twin swords, and fought with Rengar. Esie's speed was extremely fast, and the two swords danced impenetrable, and Rengar was so brave that the two couldn't tell the winner for a while.

"Bang!" the two bounced off each other, both deeply jealous of each other. "It seems that you can't do it without killing moves!" Reingar's eyes narrowed, and he roared with his soul power: "Thor's Fury!" Suddenly, the sky was dark, and there were bursts of lightning roars. Esch watched the thunder and lightning in the sky, and the wind whipped his robes in the hunt.

Reingar raised his spear and swung it fiercely, and a thick silver lightning bolt fell from the sky, and at that moment, he was the god of thunder, despising the common people. Eshy's golden eyes lit up, his body gradually glowed, and he shouted, "Dust light!" The whole world seemed to be covered in blinding light, and everyone lost their vision.

Gradually, people regained their sight, rubbed their eyes, and calmed the stinging pain in their eyes. "They're gone!" The people looked at the arena and saw that it was empty, and not only that, but even the arena was gone, leaving only the air.

"Ahh The armor on Rengar's body was shattered, and the corners of his mouth were overflowing with blood, which looked very miserable. Another figure landed slowly, looking elegant and calm compared to Rengar.

Esy quietly looked at Reingar who had fallen to the ground and stretched out his right hand. Reingar took a deep breath and also reached out his hand, and the two hands were clasped together, and Esch pulled him up. The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers: "Ash Hale, Ash Hale......" Esch smiled and was handsome.

"Hey, I said Eshy, why don't you have anything to do?

"Who said I'm fine. As he spoke, he turned around and saw that the clothes behind him had turned completely to ashes, leaking out of Eich's back......

【Nittelland Empire Far North・Silver Hunting Forest】

Located in the northernmost part of the empire, on the border with the Atlantic Empire, the Silver-Hunting Forest takes its name from the Emperor's near-success in capturing the Silver Fox in the early days of the Emperor's campaign. The silver fox is a powerful demon beast, different from the soul beast, the demon beast is a living creature with spiritual intelligence, and the soul beast is only the soul of the demon beast after death, which is much weaker.

Dozens of members of the Hale family entered the area to pick the flowers and leaves of a plant, which was of great value. The crowd walked through the forest, always on the lookout for wild beasts, and it was a very dangerous place. Ash led the tribe to search around, but there were so many plants here that the task of finding it was very difficult.

Esy used his soul power, his eyes lit up and shone with a scorching golden light. With this golden light, it is not an easy task. Suddenly, a melodious singing voice came, making people drowsy, and everyone except Esch fell to the ground and snored one after another. Seeing this, Eshy's heart was alert, and he walked towards the source of the song. But there was nothing, and the sound came from all directions, as if it had directly entered the soul, making Eshi's soul power unable to mobilize for a while. A powerful spiritual shock struck, and Eshi was caught off guard, was hit, and passed out.

I don't know how long it took, but Esch felt a burst of warmth and softness. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw a beautiful face only a few feet away from his face. A girl was actually in her arms! The girl blinked her eyes and asked softly, "Awake?"

Esch took a deep breath and shouted: "Ah......" The girl was startled with a kick on her back, turned over and stood up, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, no one shouted, what are you shouting!" Ash checked his body in a panic and found that his clothes were intact, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Although I am very handsome, I am also a conservative person, you like this, I am very worried!"

"Hey, who's so rare about you!" the girl was not to be outdone.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Ash, standing up and looking down at the girl.

When the girl saw that Esch was so close to her, she looked down at her, hurriedly covered her chest, and screamed: "You stinky rascal!"

Ash was speechless for a moment......

The girl tidied up her clothes and said slowly: "You can call me Xiaoxue, anyway, I don't have a name, you can call it however you like." Also, I'm not human. ”

Ash listened, and let out a faint "oh", but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he suddenly woke up: "You're not human!

Seeing his reaction so big, the girl couldn't help but roll her eyes: "I'm a silver fox, I'm so bored in the forest, I want to go out for a walk, but it's too dangerous to go out by myself." So......" The girl walked up to Eshy, grabbed his arm, and said coquettishly, "You can take the family away." ”

Ash was stunned, blinked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "That...... I...... Well...... All right. ”

The girl was very happy, put her arms around Eshy's neck, and kissed him on the face with a "pop".

Ash's face turned red and he was speechless for a while.

The girl turned into a white fox and flew towards Eshy, burrowing into Ash's clothes, revealing only a small head, which was extremely cute.

Ash complained angrily: "Who the hell is a hooligan!Hmph, hooligan!" After that, he turned around and went to look for the clansmen.
