Lord of War

  The sudden earthquake in the Black Swan Castle, after the start inexplicable, also ended in an equally inexplicable situation.

However, few people have discovered that the entire castle has suddenly added a pothole. Of course, no one will take it seriously even if it is discovered. After all, the castle is very old. Although it has been renovated before, the castle can be restored. Many of the internal damages in the city cannot be repaired, because this kind of project is no longer a simple repair and maintenance, it can be regarded as renovation and reconstruction.

  But the servants and guards in the castle were a little surprised by the circumstances brought about by this earthquake.

  For example, in addition to the irreparable loss of the kitchen, another loss is the desk in the room of Sean, the owner of the Black Swan Castle. Many people are very curious, why only the desk in Sean’s room was damaged, but the things in other places were intact?

  In the end, everyone can only blame the poor quality of this desk.

  Of course, some people still know the truth.

   "So, the earthquake in the entire castle was caused by this guy?" Cecilia looked at the ball of light floating beside Sean in a little surprise, "How does it look like... a little depressed?"

  It was nightfall, and the desk in Sean’s room had just changed. It was temporarily brought from the old room, so this desk looked a little shabby. However, Sean doesn’t seem to mind this depending on the situation. He is reading a letter sent urgently from Void City. The seal on the fire paint is Asuna’s seal, which indicates that it is from Tonis Fortress. letter.

  The letter was received by Cecilia, and it was precisely because of this that she came to Sean’s room at this time, and naturally saw Gollum because of this.

"Yes?". Sean opened the letter. Hearing Cecilia's words, she raised her head with some doubts and glanced at Guru.

According to the "experiment" in the afternoon, Sean found that Guru is indeed a creature, and it is clearly a creature with high intelligence. After it has a resonance with the host, it can not only communicate with the host, but also completely communicate with the host. Carry out a comprehensive re-engraving of the template, which includes wisdom, common sense, emotions, and so on. So it's normal for Sean to feel Gollum's emotions clearly without looking, even what Gollum wants to express. In fact, Gulu was a little frustrated at this time, but what Sean couldn't understand was. Why can Cecilia feel it too? Is the magician's perception really sensitive to this level, or is this a certain bloodline ability unique to Cecilia?

  In the Phoenix bloodline, there is indeed an ability to communicate with all monsters and creatures.

  But when Sean raised his head and looked at Gollum, he finally understood why even Cecilia knew that Gollum's mood was wrong.

  Although the Guru floating in the air at this time looks no different from what it was before. But the light emitted was much dimmer than normal, and the surrounding space was obviously a little shaky. It's like a normal person with the words "I'm very lost" written on the face. So unless it is blind. Otherwise, anyone who saw Gulu's appearance would not think this guy was very happy.

   "What's your attitude?" Sean raised his eyebrows and took out the letter casually.

   "Goo...Lu..." Gulu replied feebly, which was in sharp contrast to the fullness of Jing in the afternoon.

   "Hey, the light is too dim, adjust the bright spot." Sean has opened the letter. Hearing the feeble voice of Gulu, he glanced at Gulu again.

   But obviously, Gollum was very dissatisfied with his master, and it started shaking up and down in mid-air—of course. It is not a real shaking, but a high-frequency vibration to the space to achieve the purpose of shaking, at least it looks like this guy is shaking-and then gurgling shouts, these voices heard Cecilia's In the ears, there are naturally murmurs of completely unknown meaning, but it is obviously not a good thing to see Guru's attitude so intense.

   "What is she talking about?" After all, Cecilia couldn't resist curiosity and asked.

"It says it's not a lighting appliance." Sean faced Cecilia, but looked much amiable, but when Sean turned his head to face Gulu again, his face looked very impatient, "I See if you haven't played enough in the afternoon? Why don't you fly a few more times to see?"

  While saying so, Sean also raised his right hand.

   Seeing Sean’s movements, Gulu immediately stopped making those meaningless sounds and no longer shaking, but desperately exuding the light of golden se.

  At this moment, the brilliance that erupted from Gollum was like a small sun. In Sean’s room, I can even feel the rising high temperature. The room that was a little airtight due to the closing of the windows immediately gave Sean a feeling of being in a sea of ​​fire, and he could feel it in his body. The water is madly lost.

   "Are you trying to blind my eyes?". Sean snarled a little annoyed, "Let you turn the light up a bit, not to make you emit high temperatures, are you deliberately doing it right with me? I think you want to taste the taste of being buried in a cesspit."

   "Guru! Guru!"

"Huh, if you don't want it, just be aware of it." Sean curled his lips. Even if he looked up, he couldn't see that it was like a grunt of the sun at this moment. The high temperature even scorched the tips of his hair. He felt It was as if he was about to melt.

  Perhaps the threat of being buried in a cesspit was very effective. Gulu wailed his fate, and then readjusted the brightness of the light. This time, although the light he exudes is still very strong, it does not have that dazzling feeling, and there is no longer the feeling of being in a sea of ​​fire, but the light is a little more holy. This This strange and familiar feeling made Sean feel a little puzzled.

  Familiar, that is because Sean can be sure that he has definitely experienced it personally, but after coming into this world, he has never faced this feeling again, otherwise it is impossible for him to remember. And this is the reason for the unfamiliarity. Because he can't remember it, Sean thinks that this should have been felt in the game before, and the frequency should not be many, and there should be no impressive situations. Otherwise, it will not be unfamiliar.

  This kind of illusion is only a momentary thing, and a low impression means that this kind of thing is not important. Since even the system directly rated Guru as an "unknown creature", Sean thought that he did not need to pursue the existence of Guru. Anyway, this guy does not seem to be of high value at the moment, so Sean refocused his attention on Ya This letter from Sina.

The content of the letter is not complicated. It just reminds Sean in a relatively obscure way that the messengers from the Millennium Covenant Empire and the royal family have arrived at Tonis Fortress in advance, and they will depart from Tony Fortress in about a month. Arrived in Void City after two and a half months. The letter also pointed out that the Millennium Covenant Empire had already been aware of the territorial ownership verification initiated by the Hastings of the Kingdom of Darbion against Pandaling. The reason why they arrived in Void City two months later was to stagger with the executive officer of the Peace Association. Of course, they did not want to meet with people from other churches. So from the point of view of the nature of the matter, this action of the Millennium Covenant Empire probably belonged to The secret operation, of course, does not rule out the other party's suspicion of taking advantage of the fire.

  The content of the letter is not long. So Sean will finish it quickly.

   "What did the Lord Marquis say?" Cecilia asked after seeing Sean put the letter down.

  "The people of the Millennium Covenant Empire will probably arrive in the Void City in two months." For Cecilia. Sean has nothing to hide. And this matter had already been mentioned with Sean when Asuna visited secretly before, so at this time, Sean said very simply, "Their time was chosen well, it happened that we finished the settlement of the territory contract. The clerical thing."

   Hearing this, Cecilia's brows frowned slightly: "They already know about it?"

"Never underestimate the intelligence-gathering capabilities of an empire." Sean said in a deep voice, "From the reminder of Asuna. It is obvious that the Millennium Covenant Empire is suspected of taking advantage of the fire. Probably it is to take advantage of our loss of territory. I pressured me to surrender you. At the price, I might get an official title and a relatively fertile territory. It is even possible to become a nobleman of the Millennium Covenant Empire."

  Cecilia smiled: "It looks like I'm quite valuable."

"Yeah. The standard Bai Fumei." Sean also smiled, "The Millennium Covenant Empire is a good calculation, pinch the time to come to us, if it wasn't for Asuna's reminder to let me take the territory contract document If we get it, maybe we are really desperate at this time."

  Cecilia thought for a while, and found that it was really the case.

  The current situation of Pandaling is indeed chaotic.

Because of the previous military mobilizations, the Dai leader was in a semi-paralyzed state, while the Chiraff leader was close to the Isthmus Rift, so it was blocked from the beginning. All roads were blocked. These two territories were in a short period of time. The internal means completely loses the possibility of development, and in the near future, it will also be impossible to develop because of becoming the forefront of war.

  In addition, there are two things that need to be dealt with now that the territories are urgently concerned.

  The first thing is that Sean dominated the Great Rift Valley. This is one of the important business routes of the Pan-Continent Chamber of Commerce Alliance. With the current strength shown by Sean, it is absolutely impossible for them to let Sean dominate, although the demon event planned by Neal temporarily left the Chamber of Commerce Alliance out of time. There is no jing strength to toss with Sean, but the abyss demon of Enkos is obviously impossible to be caught, so the wrangling of the major churches and chambers of commerce will end sooner or later, and naturally they can free their hands to deal with Sean. So how to deal with the follow-up issues in the Great Rift Valley, this is what Sean must make a decision as soon as possible.

  The second one is naturally the issue of competing with the Hastings family for the ownership of Panda. Because of the intervention of the madmen of the Peace Association, the troublesomeness of the matter is more troublesome than the first thing-at least if Sean really dominates the Great Rift Valley and does not return it, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can only proceed. Some secret operations come to compete with Sean, and eventually some agreement will be reached, but the Peace Association is a famous lunatic in the whole continent. If it is proved that Pandaling is not owned by Sean, and Sean is still occupying it. If you don't leave, then the Peace Association will dare to come directly, and even Asuna will definitely not be able to keep Sean at that time.

  According to the previous Asuna’s information, the people of the Peace Association will arrive in the void city in about a month and a half. As soon as the assessment result comes out, Sean will only have half a month to pack his things and leave. And at this time. People from the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire arrived with a pinch of time, and the envoys of the royal family of the Principality of Lane put pressure on Sean. As long as he is a normal person who has tasted the sweetness of the lord and nobility, he will never return to be an ordinary and unknown person. , So Sean will definitely surrender Cecilia under pressure and interest. If the people of the Millennium Covenant Empire were even more ruthless, and then united with the people of the Chamber of Commerce to put pressure on them, and at the same time sent troops from the Millennium Covenant area to the Great Rift Valley, then Sean would really have lost his blood, and it could even be said. All the hard work in the past two years has been in vain.

  Of course, all of this is based on the situation that Pandaling’s ownership right does not belong to Sean.

  It's just a pity. People in the Millennium Covenant Empire didn't know that Pandaling's contract documents had already fallen into Sean's hands, so this pressure method could not be effective at all. Moreover, in a strict sense, Sean is not a normal person at all. Even if Panda loses this territory, Sean will not be able to surrender Cecilia. After all, the reason why he would like Panda collar, Dayi collar and Chiraf collar. It was just for the excuse of starting a war with the Kingdom of Darbion.

  However, everything at hand has been handled properly. The millennium covenant empire’s pressure strategy cannot be successful from the beginning, so Sean did not take it seriously. His only concern is that if the Millennium Covenant Empire finds that Yin's tricks cannot succeed, it will use force to steal Cecilia, if this happens. Sean really couldn't stop it.

  So, after thinking about it, Xiao En said, "Tomorrow you will return to Void City with me, and then you will stay at Void City. Unless I allow you, you are not allowed to leave Void City for half a step."

"Why?"

  "Void City is protected by bass, only there you are safe." Shaun replied.

  "Are you afraid that they will take me away by tough means?" Cecilia was also a little surprised.

"In addition to not underestimating the intelligence collection capabilities of an empire, you should also not underestimate their strength." Sean said calmly, "Believe me, if the bloodline experiment is really reopened in the Millennium Covenant Empire, they will arrest you. The thought of going back must be extremely strong, even at all costs for it.... What I am worried about now is whether Bass can stop those who have bad intentions, no... I am going to Hongye Town tomorrow to ask Andrew to ask ask."

  As long as things involve Cecilia, Sean will always have a panic, not at all as calm and wise as before. Although this behavior is indeed a bit funny, every time Cecilia sees such Sean, she always feels very sweet, so she doesn't want to oppose anything, or that Cecilia actually enjoys Sean very much. This kind of tenderness and attention.

   "Hey, idiot, the light is dimmed again, are you lazy." Sean suddenly raised his head and snorted to Guru.

  Guru made a somewhat aggrieved sound, and under the pressure of Sean’s Yin power, it had to readjust the level of light radiating from itself. But in fact, it is not lazy at all, it just feels a little tired.

   "Don't treat Guru like this, I always think it's so pitiful." Cecilia glanced at Guru, and said sympathetically.

   "Guru!" The Guru floating in mid-air made a cry in a timely manner, sounding like he was agreeing with Cecilia's words.

"What else can this idiot do besides lighting and heating?" Sean curled his lips, a little disapproving, because after an entire afternoon of trying, other than lighting and heating, Sean didn't find out at all. What other value does Guru have, even if it is used as a hidden weapon to throw, it is very limited, at least it is obviously ineffective at night, and it will definitely not be effective in the face of those powerhouses above the sanctuary.

   "Grumbling..."

   seemed to be arguing for herself, Guru once again issued a series of hurried sentences of unknown meaning. Whenever Gollum made such a rush statement, even if it had telepathy with Sean, but Sean still couldn't hear what Gollum was talking about. All he had to endure was the double bombardment of ears and brain. So in this case, Guru got Sean's slap in return.

"Speak to me!" I saw a golden light flashing, and the Gulu who was slapped flying by Sean was already embedded in the wall. This naturally caused another shock to the entire castle, but compared to In the afternoon, the vibration this time was obviously much weaker, and it seemed that Guru had already begun to control his strength.

   "Sean!" Cecilia's tone had a scent of blame, but she quickly ran to the side of the wall and reached out to get Gollum out.

   "Don't!" Seeing Cecilia's behavior, Sean screamed directly.

Gulu is born with a position, which will affect the space around Gulu, so that it can not only float in mid-air, but can even cause harm to anyone who comes into contact with the position of this space. The effect is equivalent to direct treatment. In the turbulence of the void. And as we all know, Void Turbulence is a kind of airflow that naturally comes with annihilation and belongs to xing. Anything that comes into contact with this airflow will be completely annihilated in an instant, and it is impossible to leave even a little residue.

  The reason why Shaun can come into contact with Gollum is because there is a stronger rule between Gollum and Shaun protecting him.

  But Cecilia does not have this kind of rule protection. If she tries to make contact with Gollum, then the whole right hand will be crushed and annihilated by the turbulence of the void in an instant.

   However, the unexpected situation was staged at this moment.

Cecilia's right hand did not directly annihilate as expected, but grabbed Gollum through that level of space and watched Cecilia hold Gollum in her hand and rubbed her face gently. With the suddenly glowing look, Sean was also a little at a loss.

   "It's so soft!" Cecilia's performance is almost like a child getting a new toy, with an unspeakable surprise on her face, "It's softer than cotton candy..."

   "This..." Sean blinked.

   "Guru Guru!" Guru made a sound similar to humming, which seemed to be a little triumphant.

   But what the words meant, Sean could understand clearly: "You mean, as long as you agree, people other than me can come into contact with you?"

   "Guru!"

   "Huh." Sean snorted coldly, but he was obviously relieved.

Gulu lay lazily in Cecilia's palm, but he ignored Sean, but if Gulu could show his expression, then Sean could see that Gulu was also relieved at this time. Expressions. Others want to get in touch with Guru, but it’s not as simple and easy as Guru said to Sean just now. At the moment Cecilia came into contact with Guru, Guru forcibly cut off the protection of her position, and then revised it. The adaptation of the position did not cause any harm to Cecilia.

  As a creature with high IQ, and it is a re-enactment with Sean as a template, Gulu certainly knows the importance of this female **** to Sean. If it hurts the magician named Cecilia, Gollum believes that he will never be thrown into a cesspool by then. (To be continued...)

  Ps: I encountered something particularly disgusting in the morning, and I almost had a fight with my uncle. To be honest, I always thought that the people around me shouldn't be so wonderful and wonderful, now I can be sure, except for my uncle, no one around me will be so wonderful and wonderful. ...Now I am in a bad mood, I'm in a state of violent walking, and I can't calm down my mood. Originally, this chapter was intended to be written as a big chapter. Now I will update the two chapters in one. ... Let me calm down first.
