Rise of an Empire

"Dad, why is there no one here?" Phoenix hugged Conrad's arm tightly, her little head constantly looking around, for fear that an innocent evil spirit or something might suddenly pop up.

"This is a cemetery, how could there be anyone?" The Duke glanced around and said calmly.

Unless it is an important festival, cemeteries anywhere are basically deserted.

I don't think many normal people would be bored and go to the cemetery to play.

"There is a sound," Phoenix moved her ears and said shiveringly.

"Someone comes to worship." Conrad also heard a faint voice, but he was not like the little Phoenix, but he listened carefully.

It was a vague murmur, and it sounded like a woman's voice.

The line of sight in the cemetery was not good. He and Phoenix's perception was far beyond the normal level of humans, so even though the woman who was worshiping was still far away from them, they could still vaguely hear each other's voices. .

It's just that although you can hear it, you can't turn your sight. The woman worshiping seems to be on the other side of the hillside, so she can't see her at all.

"Dad, let's go. Could this voice be a female ghost?" Phoenix's pretty face was already a little pale. She didn't know what kind of messy books Frost had read to her when she was a child, which made her so scared. ghost.

"Go and have a look." The Duke directly picked up Phoenix and walked directly towards the place where the sound came from, regardless of her struggle.

"I don't want it." Phoenix struggled hard, but with physical strength alone, how could she be the Duke's opponent.

The two of them walked to the opposite side of the hillside, but there was no one at all.

"Where are the people?" Conrad was a little surprised. You should know that just now he had just used normal speed and rushed over from the opposite side of the hillside, which only took a mere ten seconds.

No one could escape from his perception in such a short period of time, which made him stunned.

Is it true, as Phoenix said, that the voice just now was indeed the whisper of a female ghost?

"Dad, let's go quickly," Phoenix said with a slight cry as her legs became weak with fear.

"Well." Although it was a bit unpleasant to be tricked by a ghost, the current situation was obviously not the time for him to dig deep to find the mischievous female ghost.

It’s better to send Phoenix back first, and then come and take a look if you have time.

But when Conrad turned around, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a white rose that had just bloomed in front of a tombstone.

"This is" he quickly walked to the tombstone and picked up the rose.

There are still dewdrops on this flower, which shows that it was just picked.

Although he is not a living Sherlock Holmes or Conan, but such a bright white rose would appear here. It would be really stupid to say that there is no problem at all.

No matter judging from the brightness of the flowers or the placement of the flowers, the person who placed the flowers must have been here just now.

But based on his perception, he didn't even notice the other party, which is really a bit interesting.

With Conrad's current strength, although he cannot be said to be invincible, at least he is a rare opponent in the world.

It is almost impossible from a common sense point of view that the other party can escape his perception.

"Dad, leave quickly." Phoenix was still trying her best to persuade him to leave this eerie place quickly. The little Phoenix now dared not leave alone no matter what.

"Don't worry." The Duke put the white rose back and then looked up at the tombstone.

This is an old and simple tombstone. Judging from the birth and death dates on it, it should be more than sixty years old.

The epitaph briefly engraved the life of the deceased. The guy buried inside seemed to be a war hero. He died heroically in World War I and was posthumously awarded the title of Major of the Royal Air Force.

There is nothing strange about the regular tombstone. Although it has been exposed to wind and rain for more than sixty years, there is no sign of damage.

It can be seen that his descendants must come to worship and repair it every year.

"Steve Trevor"

Conrad recited the name on the tombstone and found that he had no memory of this person at all.

I guess he must be a nobody.

After shaking his head, Conrad took Phoenix and left the cemetery.

After all, if I don't leave, God knows if Little Phoenix will be able to go on a rampage and blow up the entire cemetery.

Watching the two dangerous guys leave, Diana Prince slowly walked out of the bushes.

As the darling blessed by Artemis, as long as she hides in nature, she can completely integrate with nature.

Today is the death anniversary of Steve Trevor, so Diana appeared in London to give him a flower on this day.

What she didn't expect was that she, who had always remained hidden, would be followed.

Originally, Diana thought it might be some slut who coveted her beauty because of her figure and appearance. This happened often in the past.

If it were Diana Prince who had just arrived in the human world seventy years ago, she might still be furious over such a thing, but she has been in contact with the outside world for decades and has long been accustomed to human life. Way.

So she just accelerated slightly, preparing to throw away the sneaky pursuer behind her.

Diana is the strongest female warrior on Paradise Island. She has been a demigod-like existence since her birth. She has received blessings from the six gods since she was a child. Even in the Olympus pantheon, she is comparable to the twelve main gods.

But what surprised her was that the pursuer behind her followed him like a tarsal gangrene.

Initially, Diana thought she had gotten rid of the other person, but unexpectedly, she just paused for a moment in front of Steve's tombstone, and the other person actually rushed over again.

If she hadn't felt that the two stalkers contained huge energy, she would have wanted to throw a shield at them to show off the opponent.

If I don’t show off my power, you really think I’m easy to mess with.

Although she was a little angry in her heart, after all, she had been in human society for so many years and knew that attacking him directly was the stupidest way.

So when Conrad ran over with Phoenix in his arms, she directly activated her divine power and merged with the surrounding trees.

Because Conrad and Phoenix had been arguing, she also heard that it seemed that the man had some evil thoughts towards her.
