Early the next morning, Lin Xiao came to the manor of the ghost deputy leader.

On the hot tea table, Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and asked curiously:

"Where are you going on a business trip?"

"Yuzhou."

"Next door?" Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Yuzhou is the neighboring capital of Luzhou, bordering the pomelo area.

Moreover, Yuzhou was established much earlier than Luzhou, and its area is much larger than Luzhou, making it one of the megacities in Huaya.

"A few days ago, the hunter team in Yuzhou discovered a secret place in a wasted area."

The ghost took care of the coffee table and said lightly:

"Because the authority inside seems to involve the necromantic realm, the Yuzhou Hunters Association submitted assistance to the headquarters, and many spiritual realm hunters have been transferred."

"Hidden?" Lin Xiao blinked his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Is it the throne of a demigod?" ”

"No," the ghost shook his head, "this time it's just the Sovereign's domain." ”

"Yuzhou can still discover the Monarch's Secret Realm now?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly.

He vaguely remembered that the deputy head of the ghost had told him—

The throne of the demigods is on the outer side of the world, and the hidden realm will float for hundreds or thousands of years before it approaches the world and opens an entrance.

After the fall of the monarch, the secret realm will be directly exiled to reality.

It could be in a cave, at the bottom of a lake, in a forest, in the deep sea......

According to common sense, Yuzhou, as a city established in the early days of Huaya, should have experienced sufficient exploration in the barren area there, and the monarch's secret realm has long been stripped away.

…… It can't be found near the Forbidden Doom, right?

"I know you're wondering about something..."The ghost smiled faintly and explained, "That hidden world was found in a high-risk wasteland, not the core of the wasteland. ”

"The reason why it hasn't been explored by the Hunters' Guild before is because it's the Monarch's Secret Realm in the Abstract Realm."

"Will this be different from the normal Monarch's Secret Realm?"

"Yes..."The ghost looked at Lin Xiao and chuckled, "Actually, this is also related to what I want to teach you today." ”

"Lin Xiao, do you remember... How did I explain to you the power of abstraction before? ”

Lin Xiao pinched the teacup and replied, "They are located in the mezzanine of the world, derived from human cognition. ”

"That's right," the ghost took a sip of tea and said, "That monarch's secret realm is in the middle of the world. ”

"It's not like the throne on the outer side of the world, but it's quite inconspicuous compared to other monarchs' holy places."

"The hunters of Yuzhou discovered that secret realm on a piece of reflective ore."

“……！？”

Looking at the young man who opened his eyes slightly, the corners of the ghost's mouth turned up, and he said:

"The secret realm of the monarch in the realm of spirit and soul will descend on some abstract places, such as reflections, lakes, mirrors, and even dreams......"

"Moreover, because they are in the middle of the world, in the fragments, the coordinates of the arrival will deviate from the place where the monarch fell."

"This... It's a bit like a throne."

"In other words..."Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and asked, "That monarch is likely to be a foreigner?" Did he fall elsewhere in the Blue Star? ”

"No, no, no, the mezzanine of the world is very close to the real world...", the ghost waved his hand and denied it:

"The distance of one or two city-states at most will not be as big as the throne."

"It's just—" The ghost paused, and his expression showed a hint of strangeness: "That monarch is indeed not from Huaya......"

“…… Well? A question mark appeared on Lin Xiao's head.

"According to the speculation of the Yuzhou Hunters Association..."The ghost pulled his hood and said helplessly:

"That monarch may have come to Huaya for tourism before, and then he fell here."

“… Yes? Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"That'...... Does this secret realm need to be reported to other countries? ”

The demigods' quest for the secret realm requires the union of the five nations.

And this kind of foreign monarch, the secret realm has descended on Huaya, and Lin Xiao is a little puzzled how to distribute it.

"If it's the Huaya Sovereign, of course, it's entirely up to us...", the ghost tapped the table and sighed softly.

"But since it is the monarch of another country, it must not be determined by Hua Ya."

"After all," the ghost shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, "the five countries have eyeliner between each other, and it is impossible to completely hide from each other. ”

"We can't afford to make other countries find an excuse to condemn for the sake of a monarch's secret realm, and we will also destroy the cooperative relationship of the Federation."

"In other words, this is also a joint exploration of the five countries?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No," the ghost shook his head and said, "This time only the country of that monarch was notified, Europa. ”

"They sent some hunters over, and in addition to helping and assisting, they mainly played a monitoring role."

"Surveillance?"

"Hehe..."The ghost smiled and whispered, "Prevent us from finding treasures in the secret realm and hiding them from sharing them." ”

"I see......"

Sure enough, everyone is an old fox, talking about each other, but they don't fully trust each other.

Even if Lin Xiao was a student, he understood that there could not be such a naïve relationship between countries.

But... Hidden.

For this kind of legendary thing, Lin Xiao was still full of curiosity.

"Deputy Commander..."Looking at the ghost, Lin Xiao asked in a low voice, "... This kind of mission is led by the monarch, right? ”

"No..."The ghost chuckled and shook his head, negating Lin Xiao's speculation.

"After the fall of the monarch, if the territory is stepped into by an existence of the same level or above, this secret realm will automatically collapse and be destroyed."

"It's like... The territory that belonged to him was occupied by other kings. ”

"......" Lin Xiao's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help asking:

"Then the secret realm of the throne can accommodate the monarch, right?"

"Yes—" The ghost lowered his eyes and continued:

"But actually... Even if it is to explore the semi-mystical realm, the monarch is not allowed to enter in advance, but instead allows A-class hunters to be pioneers. ”

“…… Isn't that very dangerous? Lin Xiao frowned suspiciously.

If there is a forbidden doom in the throne, it will definitely be an extremely deadly threat to A-class hunters.

"Of course it's dangerous...", the corners of the ghost's mouth curled, and he smiled bitterly:

"But the sacrifice of the monarch is almost unbearable for the country, and the risk must be minimized."

"The joint exploration of the five countries is actually the meaning of risk sharing."

The ghost pointed to the black ring in Lin Xiao's hand and said:

"For hunters who are exploring, the official will provide a monarch-level Devouring Ring."

"Even... Some people will also be given the authority to become super A-level hunters in one fell swoop. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned.

For A-level hunters, exploring the secret realm is dangerous, but it is also a great opportunity to make a meritorious record.

Looking at the young man's purring eyes, the ghost raised his eyebrows and asked directly:

"Do you want to go to the secret realm too?"

“… Ha ha. ”

Lin Xiao smiled wryly, of course he also had a strong curiosity about the Monarch's Secret Realm.

Especially the seclusion of this realm of abstraction.

"It's a pity that I can't take you there..."The ghost looked directly into Lin Xiao's eyes and said solemnly:

"The risks inside are unknown, and they may go beyond the high-risk wilderness area, even if they are real A-level hunters, they have a high risk of sacrifice."

"I know you're strong, but... Let's refrain for a while. ”

"You're young and have unlimited time, so there's no need to take the plunge now."

"Okay..."Lin Xiao bowed slightly, and didn't mess around.

There will be opportunities in the future, and it is indeed a good thing to be able to develop steadily now.

After all, in case he encountered a group of high-risk natural disasters inside, or even super A-level monsters, Lin Xiao didn't know if the Demon Devouring Ring could keep him.

You can't stupidly run over and play for your life just because you have shelter.

Seeing that Lin Xiao accepted the admonition, the ghost's face slowed down, and he joked:

"If I really bring you over, the head of the regiment and Long Jun will definitely slaughter me."

“…… How could it be. Lin Xiao looked away with a weak heart.

"Let's not talk about that, let's get back to business...", the ghost clasped his hands and rested them on the table.

"What I'm going to teach you today is what I just said, the fragments and mezzanines of the world."

"Actually."

"It's not just the monarch's secret realm, we hunters can also walk in the abstract realm......"

In the ghost's eyes, pale flames lit up, ignited, and even... Engulfed his whole body.

The ghostly deputy head is gone, and even the power fluctuations are gone.

Lin Xiao looked around in amazement, but found no trace of the man.

At this moment, his eyes froze, and he moved down to look at the teacup on the table.

The clear tea water is filled with vague reflections.

It's normal, but ......

That reflection seems to have more "content".

In addition to the people and things outside, a small person wrapped in pale flames was standing quietly in the reflection, looking at Lin Xiao quietly.

"Deputy Commander?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, used the moon white particles, turned on the hunter mode, and completely sank his spiritual power into the tea noodles.

With the assistance of this abstract realm energy, Lin Xiao finally saw the scene inside the reflection completely.

It was a world of light and ghosts.

Countless pure white roads, crisscrossed and extended, some paved on the ground, some along the air.

At the end of the pure white road, there are patches of irregular color.

Some of them are full of water chestnuts or crept with cracks, and abstract colors are like ink, splashed on them at will.

Black, yellow, gray, pink......

Such as... The fragments of the world are so-so.

At this time, the deputy head of the ghost group was standing on a pale color block, and that color block was connected to the tea noodles of the outside world......

"As long as our whole body is covered with energy, we, who are capable in the spiritual realm, can wander in the abstract world."

The ghost, surrounded by pale flames, floated up and down the white path, moving to another gray patch.

And that color block represents ......

Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone, and saw the face of the ghost deputy head floating on the mirror.

"You must be aware of the concepts of the abstract realm, mirrors, water surfaces, shadows..."

Pale flames floated onto the pitch-black patches of color.

Lin Xiao looked at the ground, and next to his shadow, there was a black shadow of a man.

Subsequently, the man's shadow vanished.

Lin Xiao's pupils shrank suddenly.

There was obviously no one in front of him, but in his field of vision, the figure of a ghost directly appeared.

The spiritual power swept over, and Lin Xiao "looked" at his eyes.

I saw a figure reflected on the moon's white pupils, which was ...... Ghost Deputy Leader.

"If you want, you can also appear in other people's eyes, or even in dreams."

in a bizarre world.

The ghost stood on the moon-white patch, folded his hands around his chest, and looked up:

"This skill is not difficult, but if you want to walk in the abstract world, it will consume an extremely large amount of energy, and normal B-level hunters can hardly afford it."

"It shouldn't be too much of a problem for you, though......"

Lin Xiao blinked his eyes, and the moon-white block where the ghost was located was suddenly covered with cracks, and then returned to its original state.

"In this, isn't it impossible for the outside world to interfere?"

Lin Xiao's eyes were full of surprise, he felt invincible.

"Not really—" The ghost shook his head and smiled lightly:

"Although the energy will be weakened in half, it can still be transmitted through the medium."

"And the 'land' will disappear..."

The ghost pointed to the pitch-black patch in the distance, which was supposed to be a shadow, slowly getting smaller as the sun shifted.

"Once the medium is gone, we have to go back to the white road and find another place to land..."

The ghost left the moon-white "land" of the pupils that represented Lin Xiao.

He followed the pure white path, like foam, and threw himself into some shadow patch.

"On the white path, our energy will be consumed like crazy, and once we run out of energy, we will even be lost in the abstract realm forever."

On the shadow of the tea table on the ground, the figure of a man floated.

Wrapped in pale flames, translucent, he rose from within the shadows and gradually solidified.

The ghost, back in the real world.

Sitting in his original position, the deputy head of the regiment looked at Lin Xiao and warned:

"In the abstract realm, we can't recover our power, and the energy will never go in and out."

"10 million should pay attention to the loss, not careless."

Nodding nodding nod...

Lin Xiao looked at the deputy head with a bright smile on his face.

That's pretty cool too! He really wants to learn!

After 5 minutes......

Lin Xiao, who was wrapped in moon white, came out of the shadow and returned to reality from the abstract plane.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it already a success? ”

Looking at the other party's sullen expression, the ghost asked curiously.

"No..."Lin Xiao pursed his lips.

He was happy to be able to walk in the realm of abstraction.

But......

In the panel, no new skills have jumped out.

He was a little depressed again......

……

Night, Mingqiu Garden Community.

On the brightly lit streets, residents stroll or sit in the neighborhood storefronts.

It's like a wind blowing.

On the wide district road, street lamps, trees, and human shadows rippled one after another, and soon returned to calm.

Along the quiet community road, the wind blew into the commercial street.

Glass in the store, men's watches, women's mobile phones, children's juices, pets' pupils......

A moon-white figure, like a breeze, swept through it.

He was erratic, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes nearby, sometimes a kilometer away.

The white figure of that moon sometimes swirled in place, and sometimes broke into the home of one of the residents.

On the black screen of the TV, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, on the polished floor, in the lady's make-up mirror......

He seemed to be lost, like a headless fly, constantly flickering in the Mingqiu Garden Community.

Finally......

After half an hour of wandering, it was as if I had found my target.

The white figure of the moon broke straight into a residential building.

He seems to have arrived home......

……

Bathroom, in front of the sink.

Electric toothbrushes sizzle.

Lin Shanshan, who was wearing pink pajamas and had a mouth full of foam, froze.

Less.

She rinsed off the foam, wiped her mouth, and looked blankly at the mirror in front of her.

Over there.

There is a man with long moon-white hair and a white robe.

He had an awkward smile on his face.

Moreover, the facial features are very familiar......
