In the dimly lit corridor of the basement, Vega stared at the distinctive single eye on her forehead and looked around at Xi Zhou in surprise.

Every time Victor took a step deeper, the dark staircase on one side gradually lit up with his steps.

The faint candlelight flickered in the wide and deep darkness, dimly illuminating the stone walls on either side of the basement.

Even the well-informed Vega never expected that such a mysterious place was hidden under the throne of the palace.

Could it be that a certain emperor dug a grave for himself?

Victor seemed to sense Vega's confusion and explained:

"Strictly speaking, this should be the site known as the 'royal tomb.'"

"But it's a pity that there are no corpses of the emperors of the past in it."

Hearing Victor's explanation, Vega's expression became rather strange.

No, what's the pity?

Could it be that you still want to dig up the corpses of these emperors and use them?

But compared to this, it was more curious how Victor knew about such a hidden place.

Vega felt that compared to the evil god that had existed for an unknown number of years.

Victor seems to be the old thing who doesn't know how long he has lived.

It's like there's nothing in this world that he doesn't know.

And it had this question a long time ago.

And to its doubts, Victor's answer is also very simple.

"Dig before."

Vega's face was even more strange.

After holding it for a long time, it finally said a word.

"Victor, thanks to you being a mage in the end."

"Otherwise, I don't know what else you can contribute to the Empire."

Or why Victor fears the goddess of justice.

A person who doesn't even feel guilty about digging graves, can he not be weak when he meets the goddess of justice?

You're more of an evil god than I am.

But Victor remained expressionless and did not react.

It was as if he was only telling a trivial matter.

As he slowly descended, he eventually reached the deepest part of the basement.

"We're here."

In the dim light of the candle, a closed stone door appeared in front of them.

The moment Victor walked to the door, the originally closed stone door opened automatically, opening the way to the depths for him.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Vega wondered even more,

How does this work?

Looking at the open door in front of him, Victor explained again:

"Under normal means, only people from the royal family can enter this place."

Vega frowned and glanced at Victor,

Victor doesn't seem to be a member of the royal family.

Could it be that he was the illegitimate son of Oberly?

I, Cao, no wonder the old emperor is so fond of Victor, so it is!

"Because Empress Aurelian thinks I am her husband, I have promised her."

Vega: "......"

Not to mention, although the queen and the emperor are not related by blood, that means that the queen is not a member of the royal family?

Obviously impossible.

This door only wants people with royal status, not people with royal blood.

From an objective point of view, Empress Aurelian already regarded Victor as her own, so she was also considered a member of the royal family.

Promise to marry the empress and enter the royal mausoleum?

Damn, where the hell did he know about this strategy?

Victor did not answer.

In fact, even he wasn't sure if he would be able to really get in.

After all, it is impossible for a player in the game to become a member of the royal family, and it is impossible to marry an empress.

It's just that he had been here before when he came to the palace to rob the tomb.

And the door that can't be opened just tells Victor how to open the door:

[Only members of the royal family are allowed to pass]

However, even if it can't be opened, it will naturally not be difficult for Victor.

As the saying goes, there is no road in this world,

The more you walk, the more you go, the more you go.

It was one of the most dangerous tomb robberies he had ever experienced, and he was hunted down by almost the entire Imperial Army when he evacuated.

Even the Empress Aurelian at the time had a minimal affection for him.

Although the Imperial Mausoleum is heavily guarded, there isn't really much to see inside.

Then, Victor slowly walked into it along the open path.

He was greeted by eight huge statues lined up in the depths of the basement.

From left to right, each statue is engraved with the words "Saul I" to "Saul VIII".

The name of each emperor is engraved on the base.

Victor walked past each statue, his gaze slowly sweeping over the base,

It seems that every time he passes by a statue, he can feel the magnificence and nobility of that emperor when he was alive.

Victor finally came to the end, his eyes fixed on the nameplate of "Saul VIII".

The name of Oberly Saul is engraved in it.

On the base of the statue is his immensely majestic and tall figure.

The muscular body stood up, exuding an unshakable power.

Through this solid stone sculpture, you can still feel the deep and sharp momentum of this emperor.

This is an emperor who is still very influential even after his death,

He is also one of the emperors Victor is most familiar with.

Victor went on to say:

"When every emperor dies, their bodies are not kept."

"Because strictly speaking, they are not mortal except for their lifespan."

Why does the empire prohibit the belief in gods, because in fact the emperor of the empire is already equivalent to the existence of gods.

In the empire, imperial power reigned supreme, and all the people looked up only to the emperor.

Although the inhabitants worshipped the emperor differently from the belief in the gods, the extent of this worship even exceeded that of traditional beliefs.

"Therefore, in the empire, the emperor is undoubtedly the strongest."

However, once the emperor loses the hearts of the people, his combat power will plummet.

This is also the reason why successive emperors are not as good as Oberly.

Throughout the history of the Empire, no emperor has been like Aubery.

Before he became emperor, he became the world's number one warrior.

"Huh, so the actions of the Thor family are actually creating gods? But it didn't work out? ”

Vega asked in surprise, as this was very similar to the mechanics of the gods.

In a sense, the Emperor also strengthened himself by absorbing people's beliefs.

However, unlike the gods, no matter how powerful the emperors were, their lifespan was ultimately limited.

Oberly's life has proven this.

"There is no such thing as a god-maker."

Victor shook his head:

"All along, the Thor family never wanted to become gods."

Each generation of [Emperors] will divide the power they have accumulated in this life into two parts.

One will be used for oneself, and the remaining one will be passed on to the next generation.

This makes each generation of [Emperors] inherit the power of the previous generation and become more powerful.

At the same time, the heirs of the second generation of [Emperor] will also be gifted because they have inherited the great power of the first generation of [Emperor].

So much so that the Saul family has gradually become a special family.

The more power each generation inherits, the stronger it becomes.

First to 8th Oberly.

Oberly's talent was so strong that he was able to slay dragons alone at the age of seventeen.

And before he ascended the throne, he had become the most powerful warrior in the world.

"Oh, so Oberly isn't that good?"

Vega said with a little sarcasm,

"I thought he was completely on his own."

No wonder both of the children wanted to be emperors.

It turned out that it was because he was able to inherit the power of his ancestors and his father.

Vega couldn't help but tease.

In this way, the reason why Oberly is so strong is entirely because he is the eighth [Emperor].

In this regard, Victor squinted at Vega as if he was looking at a fool,

The crow standing on Victor's shoulder was slightly stunned.

"If he is really as mediocre as you say, how is it that in Aurelian's generation, she is not as good as Aurelian when she becomes the [Emperor]?"

When Vega heard this, she gradually thought about it.

"Hiss~"

It gasped and thought of a possibility.

The other [Emperors] all split the inherited power in two after ascending the throne and continued to pass it on.

Only Oberly, who chose to leave the power of the [Emperor] completely to the inheritance of future generations,

And he relied on the eighth-generation talent brought by the surname [Thor] to train this talent to the extreme.

"He tried to break the restrictions of [the emperor], and he no longer wanted to be bound by the fate of the Thor family."

"Because the position of [the emperor] is itself a pit."

The peculiarities of the Sol family dictate that only they could become emperors.

And the fact that they are passed down from generation to generation also means that they will not live very long.

Oberly realized this and trained himself to the fullest.

His strongest is to rely on his talent and himself, and he has never borrowed the power of the [Emperor].

However, he has been a member of the Thor family since birth.

Although he did not enjoy the power of the emperor, he still inherited the extraordinary talent in Thor's bloodline,

Eventually, Oberly, who realized that his fate could not escape,

Chose to pass on all the power he had accumulated as emperor to his daughter Aurelian.

Oberly hopes that his daughter, who has the talent of the ninth-generation Thor, will be able to break through the emperor's limitations.

Otherwise

"What Aurelian is ushering in will also be a short-lived ending."

Hearing this, Vega realized the seriousness of the matter.

According to the character of Victor, a calf protector, he would definitely not watch such a fatal hidden danger exist in his students.

So he will definitely try his best to solve it in time.

Thinking of this, Vega glanced at Victor and asked:

"That'...... So what are you going to do? ”

"Kill the dragon vein, take luck."

Vega was stunned, what does this mean?

As a result, the next second, it saw the expressionless Victor reach out, palm facing up, hanging in the air.

Then, a red flame burst out of his palm.

The fire was like a long, winding serpent, twitching wildly in the darkness.

The scorching glow of the fire burst out of the red, and the surrounding air was dry from the licking of the edges of the fireworks.

Flames swirled in the air, and the sinuous fiery serpent became more and more violent.

The flames flickered, driving the scorching air around them, and the red flames rushed to the top of the basement rock.

The darkness was swept away, and the rock cracked slightly in the heat, making a scalding sound.

Victor's deep eyes reflected the glittering flames, and he slowly spoke:

"Don't forget, our current profession."

"It's called [Evil God]."
