Being tossed around by Leo and Hughes like this, Caesar was in no mood to strike iron, and walked out of Earth Street, all the way out of Aoki City, and went directly back to his cabin on the beach by the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info After a rough cleaning, Caesar comfortably put himself in a familiar bed, and compared with a first-class hospital ward, it was better to be in his own humble but warm little home. Calculating the time, Nono should have already returned to the clan, and he didn't know what he was doing at this time.

Caesar listened to the sound of the waves outside the house, felt the gust of sea breeze blowing in through the window, and half-squinted his eyes comfortably, and lay down on the bed to enjoy the beauty of this moment. After a long while, Caesar sat up, took the ranking report from his storage necklace again, and stared at the name of Hughes Roy at the top, a little distracted.

To say that he doesn't care about Hughes's ranking is false.

It's just that after a few short contacts, Hughes really made Caesar feel difficult to see, strength is one thing, and character is another.

Caesar still remembers that at the dinner party on the Black Pearl, when everyone was at their worst, Hughes was the only one who sat on the sidelines, drinking his soup and eating his meal, completely oblivious to the movement around him. The contact at the blacksmith just now made Caesar completely confused about the other party's intentions.

I remember Wen Jing said before that Hughes's biggest characteristic is that no one can judge what he will do next, and no one knows what he wants.

Caesar really understood this time.

Another point, Caesar remembered Wen Jing mentioning once - the rumor that Hughes was not the blood of the Roy family was not a rumor, but true. And putting aside his origin and personality, if he only talks about strength, Hughes's real strength is probably far superior to Wataru, who has always regarded him as his opponent, and he may not be worse than Nono who has the power of his true name, and may even be stronger.

Caesar pondered silently for a moment, then put away the ranking report, and stopped thinking about Hughes.

He first made some food for himself and Xiaolong, and after Xiaolong finished eating, he lazily ran to sleep, Caesar smiled slightly, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to strengthen his soul with the basic exercises of soul magic.

Soul cultivation is to ascend the long ladder in the land of the dragon's awakening, which is only part of Caesar's daily cultivation plan, but Caesar has recently found that he has become more and more fond of such meditation and meditation.

Although this method is a bit out of place, it allows Caesar to forget all the troubles of the outside world, truly immerse himself in cultivation, and calm down.

Time passed quickly, and when Caesar opened his eyes again, it was already evening, and the last rays of the setting sun reflected the small half of the sky red.

Caesar looked at the red light outside the window, thinking to himself that at such a time, it seemed like a good choice to decide his future?

Then he turned his gaze, looked at the woman who appeared in his room at some point, bowed seriously, and said, "Teacher Lan, you are here." ”

Teacher Lan seems to be in good spirits, and judging from his face, he should have recovered from his injuries. She wore simple trousers and a short-sleeved blouse, and her supple hair was not tied in a ponytail as usual, but casually draped, looking misty, languid and charming in the light conditions of the room at this time.

"I'm sorry, when I came here, I found that you were cultivating, so I didn't call you. Teacher Lan winked playfully, and then said with some sighs, "I didn't expect you to really start the cultivation of soul magic, I didn't believe it." ”

From just one sentence, Caesar could hear that even though Teacher Lan had not come to see him during this time, he had been silently paying attention to himself through her channels.

Caesar got up and poured a glass of water for Mr. Lan, and then sat down in front of the other party.

"Oh, why is Caesar so serious?" Mr. Lan joked, but his eyes showed surprise, as if he wanted to get to know Caesar again.

Caesar did not laugh, but replied very seriously, "Because there is something very important to confirm with you." ”

Teacher Lan nodded and said, "That's right, I also have a question for you." Why don't you ask first? ”

She paused and smiled, "Let me guess, you're trying to ask if the Empire is using you to draw out my gray armor?"

Caesar grinned, and said, "That's not what I want to ask, but if you're willing to say a few words on the subject, I'm okay with that." ”

This time, Teacher Lan behaved very crisply and said, "On the imperial side, it probably does mean that you are used as bait to lure out the gray armor. When you came out of the Dragon Road, the Twelve Round Table Clan targeted you in every possible way, and no one at the top of the empire spoke for you, so it was probably intentional to let you return to Aoki City alone. However, I was not in the Empire at the time, so I am not sure. Later, the Roy family set their sights on you, and I guess it had something to do with the gray armor. ”

"That'...... Is it also related to the purpose of the empire that the Aoki hunting season is so grand?

The sudden unusual Aoki hunting season, in Caesar's opinion, may also be aimed at drawing out the gray armor.

Teacher Lan shook his head slowly: "That's not it, the empire won't joke about the safety of the lives of so many outstanding talents, this hunting season is just for the selection of people." In fact, I came to Aoki Castle to choose people. ”

"Pick someone?"

"Hmm. Teacher Lan's face turned grim and said, "Until now, I won't hide it from you, I am a school officer of the Imperial Military Department, if I remember correctly, I should be the youngest one." I'm sorry, but although I'm from the military department, I have a special background and don't know much about the affairs of the military department. I came to Aoki Castle this time to select people for next year's Dragon Dao Trial. For battle mages, the gray armor is a major uncertainty factor in next year's Dragon Dao Trial, so they planned this food island incident, wanting to erase all variables in advance. ”

It sounds like it's all about the so-called "Dragon Dao Trial next year". Caesar thought to himself.

Whether it's the Wind Thunder Empire's side or the Battle Mage's side, the reason why they have done so many things, and the reason why they all value the gray armor so much, in the final analysis, seems to be because of next year's Dragon Dao Trial.

Caesar couldn't help but ask curiously, "Next year's Dragon Dao Trial...... Is there anything special?"

Teacher Lan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Dragon Road is opened once a year, and the opening location is different each time. According to the previous practice, the Dragon Road will be opened in the territory of the Wind and Thunder Empire in the south one year, and the battle mage in the north will be opened in the next year. Therefore, the Dragon Dao Trial is not only a trial activity for our Wind and Thunder Mage, but also a similar activity on the side of the Battle Dynasty. ”

Caesar nodded, Caesar had heard about the appearance of the dragon in the empire the next year, and the fact that the dragon would also appear in the northern battle dynasty.

When the Dragon Path appears in the Wind and Thunder Empire, the Wind and Thunder Mage will enter, and when it appears in the Battle Dynasty, the Battle Mage will also enter.

As for the last Dragon Dao trial, the Battle Mage was mixed in, and the Wind Thunder Mage and the Battle Mage entered the Dragon Dao at the same time, which was only the only special case in the past hundred years.

I only listened to Teacher Lan and said: "Next year's Dragon Dao trial is very special, the opening location is not in the south, nor in the north, but in the ...... Between the north and the south. ”

(Guys, it's been a long time since I've said a word: ask for a ticket~!)
