I really can't control myself

I quickly came upstairs, and what I saw was a terrible situation. The position where the light penetrates here happens to be in the center of the palace. If I remember correctly, it should be the front hall of the palace, where Yalan and the ministers usually hold court meetings.

At this time, a big hole was opened in the front hall from bottom to top, especially the ceiling part above was exploded.

I have to say that the palace of the Holy Empire of Yilan is indeed very grand. Linton was also surprised by this gorgeous building when he saw it for the first time. Since the original human empire was divided into three parts and this place began to be used as the imperial capital, the main city has never been donated, and naturally the imperial palace has not suffered any damage. Unexpectedly, when the three empires were reunited, the palace was actually bombed.

At this time, sporadic screams sounded. It was probably because what happened just now was too sudden, and only now did the people around them react.

Of course, Linton ignored them and immediately checked the breath of his wife and children. Linton soon breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that both of them were fine, because both of them were currently in the back hall, and the side that was bombed was the front hall.

To be honest, although the explosion in the front hall now feels very miserable, Linton said that he has already made up his mind. After all, if he is a little more serious now, there will definitely be no problem in razing a hundred miles square in an instant. The shadow clone's blow only swept out a large hole with a diameter of only five meters. The blast area was only part of the front hall, and even the building in the front hall had not collapsed.

Linton was a little surprised that the scope of the impact was so small. He didn't know whether this shadow clone couldn't exert its full strength, or it was already a more precise control. After all, his skills didn't come with instructions. , most of them rely on feeling.

Because the range was relatively small, Linton waved his hand directly and his body flashed with green light. While the guards below were still rushing towards the front hall, time had already begun to flow backwards.

The scattered stones, smoke and dust began to fly back, and the blasted roof miraculously reunited. After just a few seconds, the entire front hall returned to its original appearance.

Of course, such a miracle made the surrounding ministers and the arriving guards stay where they were. This was not the first time that Linton had used time retrieval. He had demonstrated it to several people from the Church of Light before, but he had never seen these ministers and guards before. This is like a miraculous operation that surprises many people every time.

Linton did not explain the situation to them, but looked at the few people standing in the middle who had just been transformed back from the vaporized form. Because the position where they were standing was the center point of the light strike, Linton probably knew that his shadow clone had launched an attack on these people, and that was why he blew up the palace.

Because the shadow clone had just been tested and had no sanity and would not blow up the palace without doing anything, according to Asuna's previous reasoning, this group of people may be the "hostile unit" judged by the shadow clone. So the question is, who are these people?

After looking at this group of people, Linton seemed to suddenly understand what was going on. Although Linton didn't know any of these people, he didn't need to know who they were, he just needed to recognize their race. Yes, except for one of the group of people who were blown up, they were human beings, and the others were all elves.

Then Linton suddenly understood what was going on. He almost forgot that the human empire was currently at war with the elves. These people were hostile, and it seemed that there was really no problem. But...how does this shadow clone determine that the other party is an enemy? He had never seen this group of people before, and he would not know their auras. After all, the auras of ordinary people were everywhere, and it was impossible for Linton to sense the differences between them one by one.

But the shadow clones can not only sense their position, but can also quickly determine that the other party is an enemy, which is very strange. Linton guessed, was it because these people were hostile to him?

It is certain that the elves hate me. Before, I was madly seeking hatred on the battlefield. At the same time, the war against the elves was originally initiated by Linton. He declared the war personally and only asked Yalan for approval later. It is not difficult to understand that these people are hostile to him, so it is correct to say that the shadow clone has a detection range and will directly attack anyone who is hostile to him within the range.

"Suddenly I felt that it was of some use." Linton said while touching his chin. Although this thing is not as obedient as I thought and can be used as a tool, I seem to have suddenly found a special use. If my guess is correct, then this skill can actually be used as a hostility detection device, right?

Although he didn't know if the shadow clone had retained his hand before, Linton didn't attach much importance to its strength. Wouldn't it be good to use it to automatically detect targets around him that are hostile to him?

"Linton..." Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone calling him next to him. Linton turned around and saw that it was the eldest sister Fulla. Linton had seen her before, and it seemed that she was on duty today.

Yes, because Yalan often misses work. As I said before, the emperor often hires someone to represent him. The eldest sister Fulla and the second sister Jorah are her two servants. It seemed that he had skipped work today to take care of his children. Linton could already feel the auras of Yalan and Lin Rui coming together, both in the back hall.

Because skipping work has gradually become a daily routine, in the front hall of the palace, there is another chair just below and to the left of the throne directly in front. Generally, this is the kind of chair that an underage king prepares for the regent. Now there are several people taking turns sitting here. The one sitting here today is Fulla.

"What happened?" Fulla's voice here seemed to be a little frightened. It should be that the situation just now was indeed a bit sudden. Currently, there are several royal guards standing in front of her. They don't know who blew up the palace just now, or who repaired it, or whether the danger has been eliminated. In short, they must protect Fulla first.

Fulla was slightly relieved when she saw Linton appearing. She was really frightened at first, but Linton felt an inexplicable sense of security. After all, no matter what happened before, she could settle it with Linton. of. It seems that most people in the palace think so.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. There was something wrong during the experiment, and it has been solved now." Linton said and looked directly at Asuna next to him, "I told you to be careful when doing the experiment, you Look, it almost blew up the palace, but luckily I'm here."

"..." Asuna looked at Linton and said nothing, but she didn't refute Linton.

"Doing experiments?" Fulla here was a little confused. She had heard Yalan mention it about the laboratory, but she had no idea what it was about. She had no interest in any experiment, and Yalan hadn't mentioned it in detail. Only now did she know that an experiment could make such a big difference.

"Speaking of which, what do these people do?" Linton quickly changed the subject and asked, pointing to the elves standing in the middle.

"Oh, they are envoys from the Kingdom of Varashi, here to discuss peace talks." Fulla was successfully attracted to the attention and replied.

"Oh? From the Elf Kingdom? They can't fight anymore?" Linton asked.

"We are not here to surrender." Before Fula could speak, a female elf in the elf envoy said anxiously, "The outcome of the war is still uncertain. I am here for our two countries. people, stop this senseless war."

"Oh? This is interesting, come on, come on, I'll come, I'll come, Fula, you go back and rest first." Linton said directly to Fulla above.

"Oh, okay." Fulla nodded. She was indeed startled before. After hearing what Linton said, she gave up her position smoothly. Linton walked directly to the chair above and sat down. .

"I'm sorry that there were some minor accidents before. Fortunately, there were no major problems. Let's just pretend that nothing happened and continue the meeting." Linton said casually while leaning on his chair. Although the ministers below also want to understand what happened just now, no one of them understands it yet, and they have no idea what happened. But after all, there are people from other countries here, and they are obviously not suitable to explain anything. They can only temporarily return to their original positions and continue the court meeting as if nothing happened.

"What did you just say?" Linton asked.

"Master Sword Master, before I started speaking, the envoy was interrupted as soon as he entered the palace." A minister next to him replied.

"Oh, okay, let's start talking now." Linton nodded, "You just said you are not here to surrender, but to negotiate, right?"

"Yes." The elf messenger here replied.

"This... I'm so sorry. Our human race is so weak. If we want to talk about peace talks, it should be us humans, right? Let your noble elves come here to talk about peace talks. Isn't this wronging you? I am a person before I have also said that even the elves cannot bear to see the elves being wronged in the slightest. This matter must be done by us humans, everyone agrees." Linton waved his hand and said.

"Huh?" After hearing Linton's words, everyone present was confused, including the members of the Elf Mission here.

"Well, Lord Sword Master, our army has now captured the main city of the elves. Their queen has retreated to Laitina Fortress with the remaining troops to make the final resistance. I think..." A minister next to him felt that Lin Linton may not know the current situation of the war. After all, Linton has not seen anyone all year round and does not know where he is, so he wants to briefly explain the current situation to him.

"I don't want you to think it, I want me to think it." Linton waved his hand and said, "Send the elf envoy back. We will organize an envoy to go to the elves. Remember to bring all the gifts. I will give you a year to collect gold. I will bring the silver treasure to the elves when I go on missions from now on, and I must satisfy the elves, do you understand?"
