The Celestial Being Mu Biji Lian didn't look much older than him … About six or seven years older.
Facing Peace Between Man And Nature who had the same characteristic mark as him, Ji Lian was startled at first, then he frowned and said, "This … what does this mean? Are you trying to say that you have something to do with my life? "
"You're still calm," Peace Between Man And Nature smiled and said, "You didn't make a fuss or become agitated, that's good."
"So?" Ji Lian frowned again.
Peace Between Man And Nature slowly rolled up his sleeves, "This mark is a good imitation. It comes from a very special bloodline, and only the people of a special tribe living in the highlands will have it."
"Highlands," Ji Lian carefully read the name of the place, "Where is the highlands?"
"In the west of the world, it's a place higher than the highlands. Legend has it that as long as it's night there, you can reach out and touch the stars," Peace Between Man And Nature chuckled and said, "Of course, it's just an exaggeration, don't take it seriously."
"I …" Ji Lian didn't want to joke. At his age, he had already tried his best to stay calm at this moment, "… from the highlands? Are you sure? It's just a mark. "
"You doubt it?" Peace Between Man And Nature looked at him. Ji Lian's reaction was a bit cold, which was the most negative of all his predictions.
Ji Lian shook his head and said subconsciously, "No … it's just that I don't know what to do."
He lowered his head, and then said in a low voice, "I've already gotten used to my current identity … Perhaps in the past, I had doubts and resentment about who I was, where I came from, whether I had any relatives in this world … Why did they abandon me and so on? But now, these are very far away from me, and they're very strange. In fact, they're so strange that I'm a bit resistant. "
Peace Between Man And Nature was silent for a while, "I'm telling you this not because you have to admit your identity … I'm just telling you where the origin of our people is and what kind of place it is. You don't have to look for it, but you can't not know its existence. This is our belief in the highlands. "
Ji Lian nodded subconsciously.
Peace Between Man And Nature had suddenly revealed his mark and told him that he was from the same race as him … From the death of his father Max to the recognition of Peace Between Man And Nature, everything had happened too quickly.
He felt as if his world was undergoing an earth-shattering change … It was so intense that he was at a loss for what to do. How did all this happen?
"You should stay here for the next few days," the Director of Peace Between Man And Nature said, "This is the safest place for you. Even the palace's imperial guards can't break through the gates of the guards division. When Max's case is over, I'll take you to the highlands. You don't have to call yourself a descendant of the highlands, but you have to go to the highlands at least once in your life. "
It seemed that Ji Lian could not find any other way to deal with it other than to accept it … He did not answer, and could only silently accept the arrangement of Peace Between Man And Nature.
But the young man still wanted to do something, perhaps to fight against his violently shaking world. "I … What else do I have to do? Dad's case, Uncle Zeheit's matter … and myself? "
"You don't have to do anything." The Director of Peace Between Man And Nature said indifferently, "Eat well here, sleep well … In the future, if you have the chance, maybe you can have a few more children."
"Wh … Why?" Ji Lian opened his mouth. This Director of Peace Between Man And Nature was actually quite difficult to grasp?
"Because the descendants of the highlands, perhaps only you and I are left." The Director of Peace Between Man And Nature smiled and said, "I probably won't be able to leave behind any descendants in this lifetime, so the responsibility of not letting the bloodline of the highlands fall on you."
Ji Lian did not have time to ask any more questions, such as whether Peace Between Man And Nature knew about his birth parents, before the Director of Peace Between Man And Nature had already left the room.
Ji Lian sat there in a daze. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. He suddenly rubbed his cheeks … He suddenly missed the old days. He remembered that Locke's Arms Shop hadn't been open for business for a few days.
… …
"My lord."
"My lord."
Along the way, the guards greeted the Director of Peace Between Man And Nature. In fact, other than the second-in-command, the Director of Peace Between Man And Nature had another identity in the guards division: Junior Commander.
The guards division was founded by the Blademaster of the kingdom, Yuro. From the beginning, it was completely independent of all the systems in the kingdom, and directly reported to King Amos.
As the Blademaster's only student and successor, Peace Between Man And Nature had long been regarded as the next Chief of Guards. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that the guards division was Peace Between Man And Nature's back garden.
However, this student of the Blademaster still liked to be called the second-in-command. He also liked to walk alone on the streets of the royal capital, strolling around when he had nothing to do, and catching small thieves when he was bored.
Peace Between Man And Nature returned to his office. Just as he was about to push the door open and enter, he suddenly paused … Then, he slowly exhaled, pushed the door open, and walked in. The first thing he saw was a familiar figure.
The Blademaster: Yuro
"Teacher, you have time to come back to the guards division?" Peace Between Man And Nature gently closed the office door.
At this time, the Blademaster was standing in front of the window, and from here, he could see most of the guards division. "I have resigned from His Majesty. From now on, I will take over the guards division again."
"This is a good thing." Peace Between Man And Nature said without batting an eyelid. "I have a bad temper, and I am not a talent for management. If the guards division is handed over to me, it will become a concentration camp for hooligans."
Sword Saint Youlo was clearly not the type to joke around, but he especially liked this student of his. He waved his hand and said, "I heard that you caught a few people for Max's case, but they ran away in the end."
Peace Between Man And Nature shrugged. "Teacher, there is a secret passage in the guards division prison that has been open for more than ten years. Just like how you can't imagine that the Hammer King, Max, would be killed and left on the streets of the royal capital."
"There is still one who is locked up." Blademaster Yuro suddenly asked.
Peace Between Man And Nature said, "This person is Max's adopted son. I was worried that the murderer might harm him, so I protected him … After all, we still don't know why Max was killed."
Blademaster Yuro gave Peace Between Man And Nature a deep look, and suddenly said, "How long has it been since we last practiced swordsmanship together?"
Peace Between Man And Nature said seriously, "It has been more than a year since teacher was summoned to the palace by His Majesty."
The Blademaster nodded, and then said, "Now that teacher has time, let's test your progress in the past year."
"Then I will have someone prepare the training hall." Peace Between Man And Nature said directly.
"No need." The Blademaster said indifferently, "Let's do it here … You have reached the edge of the Saint realm a long time ago, but breaking through is not something that can be done overnight. Let me see how sharp your sword has become. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp feeling, as if it could directly cut a person in half, instantly spread from Peace Between Man And Nature. Faced with the Blademaster's sudden test, the guard division's vice chairman couldn't help but sweat.
A moment later, Peace Between Man And Nature collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely.
"Teacher, you're still as … strict as ever." He panted heavily.
The Blademaster stood with his hands behind his back, but his expression unconsciously became stern. "Your sword is in disorder. You have the intention to kill, and this is something that happened in the past day. You haven't had the intention to kill for many years … In this world, there is only one person who can make you want to kill. "
Peace Between Man And Nature was silent, and only stared at the ceiling of the office with lifeless eyes.
Blademaster Yuro sighed at this time, and said softly, "It seems that I made the right choice in resigning."
He glanced at Peace Between Man And Nature, and saw that he had no intention of getting up, so he said indifferently, "I haven't been back for a long time. I want to see how the guards are lax."
Yuro left the office, and Peace Between Man And Nature suddenly sat up, but said to himself, "In the afternoon … let's eat buns?"
…
…
Royal Palace, Great Hall.
King Amos had been listening to the discussion on the throne for most of the morning. The attack on the palace last night could not be concealed, not to mention that the Dragon Queen Hilda's Dragon King Enchantment was still covering the whole King's City.
How could the lords and ministers sit still at home? They were already waiting outside the palace gate at dawn.
"It must be the remnants of the other countries! I have said before that we can't relax the pursuit of the remnants of the other countries! But look at the guys in the Military Department, they haven't fought for years, how lazy are they? "
"Your Majesty, the palace has been attacked one after another, isn't it the negligence of the intelligence department? These guys only know how to use the intelligence in their hands to secretly control the kingdom's economy? "
"I have said before that this national competition should not be held. Now that professionals from all over the world have gathered in the King's City, we don't know how many remnants of the other countries are hiding among them! If we don't expel these professionals, I'm afraid the assassinations will not stop … Your Majesty, are you going to let Her Highness do whatever she wants? Your Majesty —! "
This impassioned voice finally made King Amos move on the throne … He knocked his head a little and yawned lazily. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly … I really didn't sleep well last night. "
"Your Majesty, you were attacked by an assassin and should have been resting. Instead, we came to the palace to seek an audience, we really shouldn't have … But now that the situation in the King's City is changing, we really have no choice but to do so, Your Majesty, please forgive us." The one who spoke was a fair-minded old minister.
"I'm asking what you just said, I just didn't hear you clearly." King Amos rubbed between his eyebrows and yawned again. "Who wants to listen to you? If you really feel that you are disturbing me, you can go to the prison of the guards division and stop your salary for this year as a supplement to the kingdom's finances."
The old minister said excitedly, "Your Majesty, as long as we can stop this ridiculous competition and expel those professionals with ulterior motives, let alone the prison of the guards division and the suspension of my salary, even if you want me to die, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Then you can go to hell."
The head fell to the ground and blood splattered everywhere … The faces of the ministers were suddenly stained with a little bit of warm blood. They stared blankly at King Amos who was coldly watching all of this from the throne.
However, the one who made the move was obviously not King Amos … It was a figure who had appeared in the Conference Hall without anyone noticing.
The Dragon Queen … and the only Queen of the Kingdom of Elnis, Hilda.
Dragon Queen Hilda walked slowly into the Conference Hall … She walked past the head of the old minister and said calmly, "The National Competition is what Karo wants to see. If I say let it continue, then let it continue. If anyone has any objections, I'll make a necklace of human heads."
The ministers felt a chill down their spines and didn't dare to raise their heads to look at the Dragon Queen.
Queen Hilda looked at King Amos and said calmly, "Amos, it seems like you're not very good at managing your own kingdom … Is this what you mean by listening to the voice of the people?"
King Amos smiled and said, "Hilda, you have to know that they can't represent the voice of the people … Look, I've been dozing off for the whole morning, haven't I?"
Queen Hilda said calmly, "No matter what, the National Competition will continue as scheduled. Before that, as long as the Dragon King Enchantment still exists, no one is allowed to leave the Royal City, let alone expelling the professionals. I'll pay a visit to the nobles who have a lot of voices."
After saying that, the Dragon Empress turned around and left, leaving behind the officials who were all silent out of fear.
King Amos walked down from the throne and asked calmly, "Is there anyone else who wants to continue the meeting?"
The ministers looked at each other, and finally, the Conference Hall became silent … King Amos nodded and pointed at the corpse on the ground and said, "He's loyal, so he should be buried … Bury him. The National Competition will continue as scheduled, tomorrow. "
King Amos left the ministers.
In the end, the ministers felt that it was pointless to stay in the main hall, so they could only leave without making a sound.
… …
… …
"Mr. Luo?"
"What's the matter?"
On the streets of the Royal City, it was obviously livelier than yesterday, but there weren't many merchants shouting. Instead, there were more voices of discussion — They were discussing the Dragon King Enchantment that covered the Royal City.
The news of the Dragon Queen's arrival had already spread throughout the streets … Now, the whole Royal City was filled with an uneasy atmosphere.
Nan Xiaonan followed Boss Luo out and had been walking around for the whole morning … He said that he was looking for the truth behind Max's murder, but Nan Xiaonan felt that this Mr. Luo seemed to be … walking around aimlessly?
"We've been looking for the whole morning, do you have any leads?" Nan Xiaonan had to force herself to ask, "The case of Max's murder?"
"Not yet," Boss Luo smiled and said, "But the truth won't automatically fall to where you're sitting, right? If you walk around more, you should be able to find something … Probably. "
Ha … Haha?
Nan Xiaonan shook her head and sighed, but at this moment, her gaze suddenly froze, "Eh, Mr. Luo … Aren't they?"
She saw the trio from the castle walking towards her.
