The imperial palace of the empire, this place is solemn and majestic, symbolizing the existence of the core of the empire. If ordinary people walk here, they must go around in a big circle, because no other people are allowed to enter the periphery of the palace.
This seemingly majestic and gorgeous place is actually a beautiful paradise inside. In the center of the garden, in a pavilion, two middle-aged men enjoying the sun and rain seemed to be talking to each other at the moment.
something...
"General Rob! What do you think of Shaoyu?" Carlos kept tapping the table with one hand, dragging his chin with the other hand, casually looking at a location not far away, Carlos thought thoughtfully.
"I heard that the day before yesterday, Shaoyu defeated Hatlen, who was suspected to be a strong man in the Sanctuary, with just one move. With such amazing strength, I am afraid that even if I were to fight against him now, I would not have the slightest confidence in winning.
It can be seen that Shaoyu can be said to be a rare genius in the empire for thousands of years. Even Ji Yun is not as good as him." After thinking for a while, Rob gave such a high evaluation.
"Yeah! I think so too. But somehow in my heart, I always feel that this evil guy is not very reliable. In a vague way, I seem to have a slight fear of him. You and I both know that if we let this evil guy go,
When a genius grows up, one day he will surpass any of us." Carlos nodded slowly, with a solemn look on his face.
"Feeling?" Hearing this, Rob could not help but frown slightly. After all, feeling this almost ethereal thing is really unconvincing. "Your Majesty feels this way. It is completely normal. After all, this kid is too much."
It’s outrageous. But Your Majesty, you don’t have to trust the people you employ. Don’t worry about the people you have doubts! If Your Majesty is really not worried about Shaoyu, then sit down and make a decision as soon as possible while we still have the strength to deal with him!"
When Rob said this, he was actually hinting to Carlos. If he has decided not to reuse Shaoyu, he should get rid of him as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. After all, if he waits for Shaoyu to grow up, then he may have the intention.
There is no power left.
After hearing this, Carlos stood up slowly. With his hands heavy, he kept pacing back and forth in the pavilion. In Carlos' view, Shaoyu was like a double-edged sword. If used
If it goes well, it will make him invincible. But if he is a little careless, he may fall into an irreversible situation. Huge wealth always coexists with danger. At this time, Carlos really has a hard time making a choice.
"Double-edged sword! Haha. Interesting! I, Carlos, can be considered an old monster who has lived for more than two thousand years. Others have always been afraid of me, but I have never been so afraid of a person, even the two major unions.
The same is true for me, but now a young boy who is only a few decades old actually scares me like this? Haha, it’s really ridiculous! A sharp sword, yes, a sharp sword! Shaoyu is like a sharp sword in my hand
! It seems that there have been too many comforting days in the past thousand years, and even this kind of courage is gone. If this happened in the past, would I be afraid of others?" After pondering for a long time, Carlos laughed to himself.
"Then Your Majesty...has he decided to re-employ Shaoyu?" As if he heard the meaning of Carlos's words, Rob stepped forward slightly and asked softly.
"Well! First, I want to regain my previous self-confidence and inner passion. Second, if I want to complete my great cause, I have to have Shaoyu!" He nodded heavily, and Carlos suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
It feels like this is a release of mental pressure!
"Oh?" Slowly raising his head, Rob looked at Carlos in front of him with melancholy eyes. In front of his eyes, Carlos seemed to have obtained a valuable treasure, although he knew in his heart that this valuable treasure was extremely dangerous.
, but the greed and desire in his heart made him reluctant to give up. "Hey... I hope your majesty's decision is right!"
After sighing, Rob's slightly blurred eyes glanced at the sky not far away. After all, he was not the one who made the final decision, so all he could do now was to take a gamble. I have to say that this bet was somewhat
It's so big that even a strong Saint like him feels a little frightened. Because once he loses, everything will be lost and there will be no chance for him to stand up.
In fact, what allowed Carlos to finally sit down and make a decision was that various current signs showed that Shaoyu was still a member of the imperial royal family, and they had no reason to doubt Shaoyu.
"Your Majesty! Are you looking for me?" Shaoyu, who suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, bowed to Carlos and Rob.
"Huh? It's Shaoyu! Come on, sit here! Now that your strength is at the same level as ours, you don't have to be so reserved at all! Be casual... we are more like a family now!"
Hearing this, Carlos was slightly startled at first, and then his face was filled with a kind and kind smile.
Frowning slightly, Shaoyu didn't say much. These polite words to Carlos were undoubtedly intended to bring the relationship closer between the two intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, Shaoyu had long been accustomed to this.
.
"I wonder if there is anything important that your Majesty wants me to do this time?" Shaoyu accepted Carlos's warm invitation without politeness. After finding a place to sit down, he asked softly.
"Haha, there are indeed some things that I need to negotiate with you. But the day before yesterday, I got news that you killed Hatlen with one move, who has the strength of a strong man in the holy realm. It seems that I still underestimated you.
What strength!" His eyes were shining brightly, Carlos narrowed his eyes into a straight line and smiled slightly.
"It's true that I killed Hatlen with one move. But as far as I know, his strength is not a true saint at all, but a semi-saint! Otherwise, I wouldn't have won so easily." Shaoyu
First he nodded and admitted the fact, and then defended himself.
If there really was a strong man in the Holy Realm like Hart Bi at that time, then even if Shaoyu wanted to kill him, he would probably have to spend more effort. Precisely because Hatterun was not
The true Saint Realm powerhouse allowed Shaoyu to win so easily. It must be said that when Hatlen met Shaoyu, it was as if he had met his own natural enemy.
"Haha. No matter what! It's a fact that you killed him with one move. This shows that your true strength has far exceeded that of an ordinary holy warrior." After hearing Shaoyu's defense, Carlos said
He waved his hand. Facts are the most convincing thing, so no matter how much Shaoyu defends, it is just redundant. "But I heard that you didn't trouble the Hart family afterward. Haha, this
The Hart family has been against you many times. If you have any inconvenience, the empire can help you solve it!"
It turned out that Carlos believed that the reason why Shaoyu released a group of powerful warriors from the Hart family was because Shaoyu wanted to preserve his own reputation, so it was not convenient for him to take action.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! However, there is no deep hatred between me and the Hat family. My grudges only end with Hatlen and Hatby, these two old guys. Others are insignificant.
, so I don’t think it’s necessary to kill them all!” After thanking Carlos, Shaoyu said in a calm tone.
His magnanimous temperament made Carlos and Rob beside him couldn't help but be slightly startled. From Shaoyu, they seemed to see the temperament that a strong man on the road to the top should have!
"Haha, I didn't expect that the first commander-in-chief of our empire is not only admirable for his strength, but also admirable for his magnanimity!" After a faint smile, Carlos sighed sincerely.
Hearing this, Shaoyu frowned slightly. Immediately, he didn't say anything more. Because Shaoyu had already explained it. There was indeed no deep hatred between himself and other members of the Hart family.
It's useless to say more. As for that magnanimous mind, haha, Shaoyu doesn't think so. It's not like he has never done anything to kill everyone? It's just that what the Hart family has done has not touched his bottom line.
.Otherwise, their fate may be the second Wang family!
After all, Carlos still didn't get to the point. From the beginning to now, the other party has been praising himself. This is not Carlos's style. Thinking of this, Shaoyu also frowned.
.
"Haha, let's get down to business! But before that, I want to ask, Brother Shaoyu's strength has reached the peak of the Intermediate King of War?" After seeing a trace of displeasure on Shaoyu's face, Carlos also laughed repeatedly,
Then the conversation changed, his face moved forward slightly, and he asked with a smile.
After hearing this, Shaoyu's first reaction was curiosity and confusion? He didn't understand that when Carlos summoned him, was he just asking about his true strength?
"Haha, actually it's nothing. If Brother Shaoyu's strength has not reached the peak of the Intermediate War King, you can go to the Crystal Refining Pavilion and practice one or two!" Seeing the puzzled expression on Shaoyu's face, Carlos
Smiled slightly proudly.
"Jingjing Pavilion? Where is that place?" Hearing this, Shaoyu frowned and asked.
It has been a long time since I came to the imperial capital, and Shaoyu can enter and leave the palace freely. I have never heard of the existence of such a place in the palace or the imperial capital. What makes Shaoyu even more puzzled is that if you practice cultivation, why do you still have to do it?
How about going to a place like this? Is there any difference?
"Haha... To tell you the truth, this is actually not a secret. I believe that the three major families in the imperial capital, although they don't say anything, they are like a mirror in their hearts. This Crystal Refining Pavilion! As the name suggests,
, it is a place dedicated to accelerating the refining of various magic crystals. The energy around him inside is more than a hundred times that of the outside world, so people who practice there will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, the person who originally built this Crystal Refining Pavilion
Firstly, it saves a lot of practice time for myself and others, and secondly, it is also to create as many strong people as possible!" Seeing the confused expression on Shaoyu's face, Carlos seemed to have a sense of accomplishment.
He laughed and said. After all, being able to complete such a vast project is something to be proud of.
Try to create as many strong people as possible? Although a breakthrough in cultivation requires understanding the mysteries of the law, if the empire selects some talented people and trains them, it will indeed create some strong people in the long run.
Because these people do not need to spend a lot of time refining and absorbing energy, and the excessive time is spent on comprehending the laws of elements. Coupled with the fact that their talents are not weak, they can indeed achieve the ultimate goal of creating a strong person.
However, this is something that only the royal family of the empire may be able to accomplish. If it were any other force, they would probably be unable to do so. Of course, except for the two major trade unions.
"Haha, it seems that the power of the royal family of this empire is not what it seems on the surface!" After pondering for a long time, Shaoyu secretly sighed in his heart. Because Shaoyu didn't know at all that he, Carlos, relied on this
The miraculous effect of the Crystal Refining Pavilion is comparable to that of a clear water spring. How many powerful warriors have been created. I am afraid there are even some powerful ones in the holy realm?
"Oh? In that case, isn't it similar to Qijue Pagoda and Bishui Spring?" Shaoyu asked in surprise, and then said with a faint smile.
It's really interesting. I didn't expect that there are such magical places everywhere in the world. But it's right to think about it. After all, refining and absorbing the energy of the law is boring and boring. It is also a very time-consuming practice. No matter how patient you are,
People can't stand such torture! Shaoyu himself doesn't have a deep understanding of this. That's why they will try their best to solve this problem.
This gave Shaoyu a good inspiration. After all, Shaoyu himself requires a huge amount of energy, which will also increase with the growth of his cultivation level in the future. If he still relies on the stupid method he used to practice as a warrior, then Shaoyu
I don’t know when and what month I will reach the peak.
"Yeah! The theory is like this. But the effect is far from those two. But even so, this is a good way to speed up people's cultivation." Weiwei nodded. Carlos said undeniably.
After all, the pure energy in Qijue Pagoda and Bishui Spring is also a god-level powerhouse. How can the energy essence produced be comparable to ordinary magic crystals? No matter how large the quantity is, it will not work, because this is essentially
The huge gap cannot be filled with huge numbers.
"So, if you want to achieve that kind of acceleration effect, I'm afraid you need a lot of magic crystals and high-level magic cores?" Shaoyu asked casually as if he had thought of something.
"Haha. It's true! Just to maintain the rich legal energy of this Crystal Refining Pavilion every year requires tens of millions of magic crystals and high-level magic cores. But these are not the point. The point is as long as we can get as many as possible
Just cultivate some strong people!" It was as if he was used to this, so when he said this, Carlos showed such indifference.
"hiss…"
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After hearing such a huge set of astronomical figures, Shaoyu couldn't help but secretly marvel. However, Shaoyu believed that the royal family of the empire had the ability to build such a place that would amaze and envy the world.
.
"Then it must be that among the strong men created by the empire over the years, there should be more than just some strong warrior kings?" After being shocked, Shaoyu finally told the biggest question in his heart. Because the strong warrior kings and saints
Domain powerhouses, these are two different concepts. If even the saint domain powerhouses can be created, then how terrifying the power of the royal family must be now? You must know that they are the ones standing at the pinnacle of the continent!
"Haha, you will know this in the future!" Hearing this, Carlos did not answer Shaoyu directly, but smiled slightly at him.
Seeing that the other party didn't want to say anything, Shaoyu didn't ask any more questions. Immediately, he buried the question in his heart, which was also temporary. Since the other party has already said it, he will know it in the future, so he must not be himself now.
When you know.
"Actually, Shaoyu is still very curious about the Crystal Refining Pavilion, but now my strength has indeed reached the peak of the Intermediate War King, so next time!" Looking gratefully at Carlos, Shaoyu shook his head lightly and said.
"Well! I believe Shaoyu you will have the opportunity to use it." Carlos nodded and said.
Hearing this, Shaoyu smiled slightly. This is natural. If there is no chance to use it, doesn't it mean that Shaoyu will stop at the mid-level war king from now on? A rare thing in an empire for thousands of years,
If a monster-like existence were to stop at the peak of the Intermediate War King in this life, it would probably make everyone in the world laugh at him. And Shaoyu would also despise himself.
But when it comes to when it can be used, Shaoyu has no idea. It may be a few years, decades, or tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. This kind of breakthrough depends entirely on his own understanding and inspiration! Both are indispensable.
"Hehe... let's talk about the current war! Shaoyu, you, the intermediate war king, already have the strength of a strong man in the holy realm. This is a great weapon for us! You also know that war
The Holy Land powerhouse is not allowed to participate in the war. But you are not a Holy Land powerhouse now. And the strength of a Holy Land powerhouse like you is invincible on the battlefield. So I want you to lead the empire’s army and attack Caesar
Advance within the empire!" With an awkward smile, Carlos finally revealed his purpose.
It is conceivable that if one's own army has a strong man from the holy realm, but the enemy does not, then the war will be one-sided. Let's not talk about the prestige of a top strong man in the army.
Before the battle, kill the enemy leader, and then the war will be won without Shaoyu taking action. Therefore, Shaoyu, who has not become a strong man in the holy realm, but has the strength of a strong man in the holy realm, is indeed a member of the empire.
A sharp sword!
"If I advance towards the Caesar Empire, the other royal family will not sit idly by and they will probably send out the strong men from the Holy Domain." Shaoyu frowned slightly and said after analysis. After all, if a country is gone,
Then who will abide by the agreement?
Although Shaoyu is not afraid of the opponent's Saint Domain strongman, it is not Shaoyu's character to let others be the spearmen for no reason. And what if the opponent is like Carlos or Iliff, who is at the top of the Saint Domain?
Where is the existence? Or maybe a large group of powerful men from the holy realm came to besiege him, so Shaoyu would have no choice but to run away. (To be continued...)
