The capital of the Faun Empire, the city of Faliend, the royal palace and the imperial study.

The space of the study is not very large, but it is luxuriously and elegantly furnished. Statues of gods and angels have been carved out of the ceiling, and a large crystal chandelier hangs from the center of the ceiling. Under the crystal chandelier, there is a scarlet velvet carpet.

The supreme power of the Faun Empire, Emperor Bixia of Jax Faun, sat in a golden chair covered with velvet cushions. In front of him was a table carved from brown and yellow rosewood. On top of the table were stacks of folds and papers.

Jax Fahn is in his forties, but he looks much younger because of his proper maintenance, with brown slightly gray hair, sunken eye sockets, piercing eyes, and slashed lips and nose. And the pair of gold-rimmed glasses he wore added a bit of elegance to him.

"Murgohn, how about you come and take a look?" said to the Emperor Bixia in the Imperial Study, but the Emperor of Jax, Bixia, said to the empty front.

Wherever Yax's gaze looked, the space suddenly fluctuated violently, and then a crack opened, and boundless darkness surged out of the gap, the crystal chandelier lost its luster in an instant, and out of the crack in the space, there was also a magician shrouded in a black robe and holding a jet-black iron staff.

Murgohn stepped out of the gap in the space in mid-air, but his body did not sink in the slightest, and he floated from mid-air to the table where Yax was sitting.

The only people who can fly in the air without using magic are the strong people of the Holy Realm!

"What's the matter with summoning me, Bixia," Murgohn said coldly, his voice not showing much respect for the Emperor Bixia.

Yax didn't care either, the powerhouses of the Holy Realm would have some pride of their own, he handed a document in his hand to Mulgoun, and said, "Then remember the mission I asked you to carry out eight years ago?"

"Yes. ”

"In that mission, you made that genius nephew of mine run away, remember?"

"What do you want to say?" Murgohn's voice grew colder.

"Look at this information, Dick Hill, a fifteen-year-old space-time mage, defeated that stinky boy from the Theseus Empire. ”

"There are very few people who have the magical talent of the Plane and Time Spectrum, and even fewer of them can defeat McFarlane at the same age, but your nephew is one of them. You want to say that Dick Hill is Dick Fahn?"

"Pretty much. Yax said lightly.

"This can't be! I watched him fall for my 'Eternal Night', and if he didn't die, he should be gone. And that curse can only be lifted by a dark mage with twice as much magic as mine. Do you think this is possible?" Murgohn's voice sounded a little annoyed, "I'm the strongest dark mage in the whole continent!"

Although these words were arrogant, Yax did not doubt at all that the mage in front of him was powerful enough to be able to construct a "realm", and just now he broke through the space from the realm and came to him. With the "Domain", it is not far from the Divine Realm.

"I didn't say it had to be that kid," Jax hurriedly changed his words, "There are also inconsistencies in this information, for example, that Dick Hill is not only able to cast space-time magic, but also proficient in dark magic. ”

"Then you should find out before you come to me. Murgohn said coldly.

"I've tried everything, whether it's through the intelligence network in the Miro Empire, or other means, such as the snobbery of the Shadow Thorns. But to no avail. Yax said

"My Bixia, why are you so confused! Since you can't find out, there are only two choices, either leave this matter alone, or ...... Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!"

"Cut the grass and eradicate it...... "Cut the grass and eradicate it," Jax muttered, and then his eyes suddenly sharpened, as if he had already made a decision, "Mulgohn, you go down, and if you can, please call Shurfa to see me"

A few minutes later, Shurfa was already standing in front of Jax.

This is a man as cold as an ice cube, his face seems to be expressionless, and his gaze is also cold, because he is an assassin. An assassin whose men are stained with the blood of countless people.

In the face of such a person, Yax's words were succinct: "The target, the new lord of Orel City in the Miro Empire, Dick Hill. ”

"I obey your orders. Shurfa knelt down on one knee, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand raised in front of his chest, and performed an impeccable courtesy, and the next moment his figure flashed and disappeared into the imperial study.

Nearly twenty days had passed since Dick had established the Guard, and his cultivation as a ninth-level magic apprentice and trainee warrior had gradually stabilized.

The work in the territory is going well, the number of Demon Hunters has increased to 5,000, and at the same time, in addition to the strong men who have been incorporated into the personal guard, Klender has managed to recruit a group of powerful magicians and warriors. This also made it easy for the Demon Hunters to operate without much difficulty due to Dick's establishment of the Guard.

Of course, the most good news is that Sna has contacted the dwarven tribe in the mountains of Gultius, and the leader of the tribe is willing to talk to Dick about cooperation.

So, on a sunny morning, under the guidance of two dwarven warriors, Dick led his personal guard to visit the dwarven tribe hidden deep in the mountains.

Along the way, everyone rode horses, while laughing and talking about their strange things, the adventure journey, it was really pleasant, and before you knew it, the sun slowly climbed overhead, so the dwarves took out the liquor they carried and distributed it to everyone, and everyone also took out dry food and distributed it to the two dwarves.

When they reached the foot of the Gultius Mountains, they abandoned their horses and walked up the mountain. Climbing the mountain is not a difficult task for the dwarves and the warriors in the guards and Dick, but the mages in the guards can't bear it, so in desperation, Dick has to let a few warriors escort the mages down the mountain to rest, and he only takes Hawke and two other warriors to follow the two dwarves to climb the mountain.

The sun unconsciously began to set in the west, and the setting sun stained the cloudy sky.

Before night came, everyone finally saw curling smoke rising from the front. It's coming! Everyone was overjoyed and quickened their speeds.

A few minutes later, the group finally arrived at the destination of the trip. It was a medium-sized dwarven tribe of about 3,000 people, and hundreds of small houses made of thatch, earth and stone were scattered among the mountains, and the smoke from the chimneys of these low houses was the smoke that everyone had seen before. A small barrier was built on the perimeter of the village, with a gap in the middle as the entrance to the village.

At this time, a large group of dwarves were waiting at the entrance of the village. Seeing the crowd coming, an old dwarf stepped forward, surrounded by many dwarves. His beard, almost entirely white, was already hanging down to the ground. The swarthy face was also covered with weather-beaten nicks.

"Welcome, young human," the old dwarf said, "I am the patriarch of this tribe, Locke Stormhammer. ”

"It's an honor to meet you, respected Dwarven Patriarch. My name is Dick Hill and I am a viscount of the human shijie. Dick also saluted.

The old dwarf then invited Dick to the village. Since the dwarven houses were too low for humans to stand up straight when they entered them, everyone gathered in a clearing.

"I know what you're here for, young human, and you want our tribesmen to craft weapons and armor for you, and to join your army, but I wonder what good it will do for our tribe. The old dwarf asked, rubbing his white beard.

"We will give our dwarven allies the best possible treatment, a large amount of military pay, and an endless supply of good wine. More importantly, this will promote the development of dwarven tribes, as the dwarves who enter the human shijie will be able to learn about the civilization and knowledge of the human shijie. Dick said that he had prepared a haode statement, and he knew that the dwarves were addicted to alcohol, so he mentioned good wine in his speech.

"But joining the army means that there is a threat to life, and our warriors are not afraid of death, but they all have families. The old dwarf said again.

"Rest assured, Patriarch, that all the dwarven warriors who die in battle in our army will receive a generous pension to their families. ”

"Young man, will you be able to keep your promise?"

"I pledge with my life!"

"Okay!" the old dwarf Locke snorted, turned to face the dwarves standing behind him, some of them were warriors, some were foundries, and some were family members of the first two, "You all heard what this young man said just now, are you willing to go out of the tribe and follow this young man on a journey?"

"Yes!"

Locke, the old dwarf, turned around and said to Dick, "We all know where your territory is, so please give our warriors a day or two to take care of everything." Then they will get up with their families and go to your territory. ”

"Haode, according to the patriarch's arrangement. It's not too early, so we'll take our leave. Dick said.

"Why, aren't you going to stay and have dinner together?"

"I'm sorry, but I have a lot of business to attend to in my territory, so I won't bother. "Actually, Dick was in a hurry not because of the affairs of the territory, but because the divine charity potion he took yesterday still has a little effect, and Dick is reluctant to waste the sky-high price of 10,000 gold coins.

After saying goodbye to the dwarves, the group of four began to descend the mountain the same way they came. Dick walked in front, Hawke followed closely behind him, and the other two fighters hung from Zuihou.

The mountains and forests at dusk are particularly beautiful, the sunset in the clouds gilds the mountains with a layer of bright gold, and the shadows of the trees are stretched very long. The light and shadow in the forest are staggered, and the beauty is breathtaking.

"Dick, be careful!" Dimihera's voice sounded like thunder in Dick's head, and it instantly brought him back to his senses, almost subconsciously, and the magic sword Nether came out of its sheath and protected it in front of his chest.

A short sword stabbed out silently from the scattered light and shadow in the forest, and the target was directly aimed at Dick's heart! I only heard a "ding" sound, and the short sword stabbed on the dark sword body of the magic sword, but this sword was too fierce and too powerful, Dick was upside down by the liliang on the sword and flew out, and at the same time, the right hand holding the sword broke the tiger's mouth, and the sword body of the magic sword Netherworld smashed into his chest again, and he suddenly felt a sweetness in his throat.

"My lord!" Hawke exclaimed, and the fighting energy around his body surged out, like a real flame of light around his body, and like armor to protect his body. He slammed his right foot on the ground, and the solid ground immediately became a large hole with a bang, and Hawke's body was like an arrow from the string, shooting straight at the assassin who struck the sword.

One blow failed, and the assassin hidden in the shadows of the trees in the forest seemed to be slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that the other party was just a magic apprentice, but he could see through his disguise, and the sword in the other party's hand would not shatter in the stab that he poured into his whole body of fighting energy.

This hesitation had already caused him to lose the best chance to escape, and Hawke, the super powerhouse of the Dragon Knight Rank, had arrived in front of him in an instant!

The long knife at his waist burst out, and Hawke danced a stormy sword shadow over Shurfa. Shurfa was shocked and raised his short sword to meet him.

Dick, who fell to the ground, suddenly widened his eyes, a battle at the level of a dragon knight is not something that can be seen at any time.

In the battle circle between the two, the light of the fighting spirit was dazzling, the mountains and rocks were shattered, the trees burst, and the air was torn apart with a piercing scream, forming a whirlwind that carried the dust and sawdust in the sky. Occasionally, a trace or two of fighting energy escapes and a deep ravine will be plowed into the forest floor, or a bottomless cave will be left behind.

Is this the strength of the Dragon Knight? Dick was shocked. At the same time, he smiled bitterly, this uncle of his really looked up to himself, and actually sent an assassin of the Dragon Knight rank to kill him.

At this time, Hawke had the upper hand on the field, after all, what the assassin was good at was assassination in the shadows, and in terms of head-to-head confrontation, it was still difficult for Shuerfa to compete with Hawke.

But to be on the safe side, Dick recited the incantation, and a moment later he was seen pointing at the figure of Shurfa.

"Dark Curse: Sluggish!"

After all, Xiu Erfa is the strength of the dragon knight, even if he is hit by the curse of sluggishness strengthened by time magic, it is only a slight shock in his body, but in a duel between masters, this momentary flaw is enough to determine the victory! But seeing that Hawke's eyes widened, and his left palm infused with fighting qi was like a flame, the next moment, this full palm had already hit Xiu Erfa's chest with one palm.

Xiu Erfa's figure suddenly flew back under the force of his palm, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. He finally stopped his momentum after smashing a row of trees, and fell to the ground weakly.

"Say, who sent you?" said Hawke, with his knife as he approached, and shouted in a fierce voice.

"Ya...... ...... "Spit out these three words as if to drain the vitality of Xiu Erfa, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled and he fainted, Hawke stepped forward and carefully examined it, turned back to face Dick, and said with guilt: "The subordinates are incompetent, they failed to protect the adults, and they were too heavy just now, and they failed to leave a living mouth, please punish the adults." ”

"It's okay, it's not your fault, the master battle can't allow you to keep your hand," Dick waved his hand weakly, "You better help me up first." ”

Without waiting for Hawke to make a move, the two soldiers of the personal guard who came after him hurriedly stepped forward to help Dick, the battle between the two dragon knights was too fierce just now, they watched from the sidelines, their hearts were shocked but they couldn't intervene at all, and at this moment the battle was over, and the two came back to their senses.

"Your Excellency......," Hawke seemed to say something.

Dick waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back to Olel City." ”
