On the Throne: The King of Black and White

After Lin Xiao agreed to the request, Captain Lake obviously felt much more relaxed.

She sent a message on her mobile phone, and the Legion staff came over with a bunch of afternoon tea.

Cake, pudding, macarons, cookies, chocolate, ice cream, egg tarts...

Colorful desserts filled the entire table.

Judging from this posture, it seemed that she wanted Lin Xiao and Yougui to drink tea and chat with her.

I really appreciate the hospitality of the group leader, but is this... a little too sweet?

After swallowing the cake with difficulty, Lin Xiao felt that his blood sugar had risen a lot today.

"Next, you will practice in the team step by step..."

Captain Lake stirred the coffee and whispered:

"The journey to the top of the human world is long and far away. You can target A-level hunters first. If you have any questions, you can directly consult the legion."

"Okay... may I ask who is Ren Dian?"

This sudden new term made Lin Xiao a little confused.

"The so-called human peak refers to the peak of human beings." Ghost said to Lin Xiao while chewing biscuits expressionlessly: "Generally, what we refer to are S-class monarchs."

Lin Xiao had guessed this, but that was not what he was questioning...

"Why is it said that the monarch is the pinnacle of man?"

If Director Ling Sen is right, then there should be someone higher than the monarch.

"Because the monarch can no longer be called a human being..."

After listening to Lin Xiao's question, Captain Lake took a sip of coffee, lowered his eyes and said:

"Have the true Star Throne and be recognized by the world."

"They are collectively called...demigods."

……Demi god?

Lin Xiao opened his eyes slightly.

Isn't this title too fantastic, too exaggerated, and a bit out of his scope of cognition?

"The life of a demigod has almost no end in sight, and no throne will be troubled by aging."

"Thousands of years before the disaster occurred, there were demigods all over Blue Star, but they all died one after another."

The ghost turned his head to look at the leader, as if he was asking her for instructions.

After seeing Ms. Lake nod slightly, he continued to talk to Lin Xiao:

"You should have learned about some terms such as hidden world and secret realm in school, right?"

"Yes."

A lot of human knowledge and secrets were discovered in the hidden world, including the refining of power and the weaponization of power.

"Then do you know where the secret realm exists?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Sealed by some kind of powerful barrier?"

"The most common secret realm is like this..."

Ghost nodded and did not deny his statement.

"They may be in a cave, forest, deep sea, or even underground..."

"This is the product of the fall of the monarch and the exile of the territory. In a sense, it cannot be called a hidden world or a secret realm."

Looking into Lin Xiao's eyes, a dangerous smile appeared on Ghost's face.

"There is only one true hidden world, and that is... the throne of the demigods."

"……throne?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's confused expression, Ghost understood it very well.

"You are a power user, so you should know what is going on with the throne, right?"

"That's right..." Lin Xiao considered his words and said, "They are not near Blue Star at all. How should we search them?"

"Not near Blue Star? What you said is still too conservative."

Ghost shook his head slightly and said calmly:

"They are located on the mezzanine and outside of the world. They are not even on the same plane as us."

This statement is consistent with Lin Xiao's conjecture.

"Then what's going on with exploring the secret realm?"

"After the demigods fall, their thrones will gradually settle and float to the world we live in."

"It could take hundreds, thousands, or even longer."

"After the precipitation is over, they will not directly integrate with the world, but will only open an entrance."

Ghost raised the cup in his hand and gestured:

"The entrance may be in a cup, box, mirror, lake, or even a leaf..."

"Although they are based on the location of the demigod's death, they are not that accurate. The throne of demigods from other countries may come to Huaya, and our hidden world will also appear outside the country."

"Even..." Ghost pointed upward and chuckled: "The entrance to the throne may come to a planet near Blue Star."

Lin Xiao nodded suddenly and asked the deputy captain:

"That's why...there are multi-national secret missions?"

"Haha... If possible, of course everyone would want to monopolize the resources of the hidden world, but this is only one of the reasons."

The ghost's eyes were filled with darkness, and he said in a solemn tone:

"Exploring the demigod's throne is very dangerous..."

"It's so dangerous that A-level hunters and even monarchs may fall."

"Multi-national joint exploration is actually a kind of risk sharing. No one will win big, but they won't lose so hard either..."

……

After chatting with the two group leaders for an entire afternoon, Lin Xiao's knowledge has grown a lot.

But now it’s time to say goodbye…

Lin Xiao stretched out his hand, held the cup, and prepared to drink most of the coffee in one gulp.

"Wait, Lin Xiao!"

The leader of the Blood Wolf, who had been silent since just now, suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao paused.

"Why...why do you want to drink pot water?"

Captain Lake frowned, his face full of confusion.

"……Um?"

Lin Xiao tilted his head, unable to understand her words.

"You can't drink coffee without sugar!"

The female leader picked up the sugar cube on the table and placed it in front of Lin Xiao.

"You should add at least 5 sugar cubes! Of course, I recommend you add 8 sugar cubes! It will be more delicious!"

"..."

Wouldn't that be too sweet?

And Lin Xiao thinks that the original coffee tastes pretty good...

"Ugh…"

Seeing that Lin Xiao seemed unmoved, the blond lady sighed.

"You should try it! You should try it...Lin Xiao!"

"Dogs won't drink coffee without sugar! It has no value at all!"

She is obviously a Westerner, but this woman said such "deviant" words.

Captain Lake grabbed his cup and began to add sugar and stir it skillfully.

Ghost came close to Lin Xiao's ear and whispered:

"The leader has a severe sweet tooth and can't stand those close to him drinking bitter coffee."

"In the beginning, did she keep hinting at you to add sugar?"

"..."

...Is this what it meant? ?

Lin Xiao remembered it. Indeed, every time he took a sip of coffee, the female group leader would move the sugar cube box towards him.

He thought it was just a common courtesy...

"Okay, Lin Xiao! Try it!"

Captain Lake handed him the cup with a serious and expectant expression, as if he was amusing some kind of treasure.

"This is definitely 10 times better than before! If it doesn't taste good, come to me and I'll chop up the ghost and give it to you!"

Ghost: "...?"

The deputy leader's expression was dull and his eyes were full of confusion.

Lin Xiao was very suspicious that this woman wanted to avenge the previous knife attack...
