The house of the Empiri family adopts a special design, no matter what happens in the wind, there will be a bright sound. This is a strange house known to everyone in the kingdom of swords.

Since there is such a structure that there will be a clear volume at any step, there will naturally be a completely opposite dead space.

No one knows about the underground secret room except those in the Empiri family. Whether you enter the inner corridor or the only door to enter and exit, there will be no sound. Even if you step on it hard or knock it deliberately, there will be no sound. .

In addition, there is an underground secret room without lights and windows, and only a few bookshelves are placed on the wooden floor. It is a space that is forcibly deprived of vision and hearing, leaving only a weak but clear sense of taste.

In the square dark space, there are a lot of bookshelves around which are too airtight to be dusty. There are important books that are not in the "National Library". Known "Secret Books" of most countries.

In the secret room, which can be called the treasure house of the Empiri family, there are two simple but very stable four-corner wooden chairs in the center, which are mobile furniture deliberately brought in from the outside.

There is no strange reason, it is purely that two people want to have a conversation in this "secret room where no one can eavesdrop".

One is the eldest lady of the Empiri family, Feng Ou, and the other is also a member of the Empiri family, but her seniority is far more authoritative than Feng Ou, and is respected and praised by everyone in the kingdom of swords as an "intelligence expert" Known as the owner of Empiri.

He is also the father of Feng Ao.

Put the sword on your body in the "Arsenal of Arms", and hand over the social clothing outside to the servants, and put on a more comfortable pair of shorts and short sleeves again.

Wearing leisurely and cool simple clothes, he sat quietly on the four-corner wooden chair, and looked directly at Feng Ao with no obvious meaning.

Even at home, he still looks like an "ordinary person". His appearance, mental state, and aura are not much different from ordinary people. Even if the title of "Information Master" is thrown on this middle-aged man It will only insult this title.

As a biological daughter, I can discover the difference between my father and ordinary people. Of course, it takes special attention to do so.

Feng Ao's understanding of his father can be said to be comprehensive, but relatively comprehensive.

He understands that his father has an extremely strong "disguise" ability, but he doesn't know how far this "almost natural" ability has been brought into play.

For example, the father in front of me, although he is the appearance in memory, familiarity and touch do emerge in his heart one by one, but it seems strange and strange.

At the beginning, if the house rules of "step code" were not specially ordered, it is very likely that the cleaning servant would ride a wild horse to drive away this "outsider who has never met before".

This kind of natural camouflage ability is so terrifying and abnormal. Perhaps it is because of this "curse" that ordinary people who hardly reveal information are unexpectedly qualified for the honor of "Information Master".

"I already know most of the relevant information from the council. Although I'm sorry to trouble you just after I got back, I would like to ask you to tell me some information you know."

As he spoke, Feng Ao's father let out an obvious yawn without any scruples about his face, the corners of his slightly wrinkled eyes squeezed out tears from exhaustion, and his seemingly calm posture completely exposed his own weakness, as if he had already Burnt residue.

Could it be another act this time?

Every move, sigh at the end of every speech, breathing, eyes, and even every word when speaking makes Feng Ao unbelievable, unconsciously falling into the quagmire of self-excessive thinking.

Of course, having already had experience in such a situation, it should be said that Feng Ao knew very well that what he had to worry about at this time was not how tired his father was, but to answer her questions.

"The captain of the hostage team, Jie Shi, his originally black left eye can turn into a dazzling golden color, and his stamina, speed, and endurance have all increased explosively. His mastery of the Excalibur is quite outstanding, and he can quickly recover from trauma, including loss of mobility. The limbs can also be restored immediately, and when using this power, the phantom of the paulownia tree will flash behind."

"Ugh."

After explaining all these things in one breath that even his younger sister and Tao Zi didn't tell, Feng Ao felt a relief-like comfort.

The reason why he didn't tell his sister and Tao Zi was purely to prevent them from being in danger because of getting too much information, these are situations that Feng Ao doesn't want to encounter.

Only facing the father is the need to report.

Of course it was not to put his father in danger, but as the patriarch of the Empiri family and a person with the title of intelligence expert, Feng Ao had the duty to report.

As for the danger, Fengao never worried about these improbable things.

Because even if there are assassins, it is very likely that they will not even be able to detect whether Patriarch Empiri is in his eyes.

The natural abnormal camouflage is very weird and terrifying, just like a "transparent person existing in the world".

"I've often heard about the true power of the rapier, but the so-called truth, the leader and the Ozakro family really hid this news. I'm afraid that the sword will never be used by anyone again."

"May I ask my lord father why?"

Faced with Feng Ao's question, the middle-aged man tilted his head slightly, changing from a meaningless gaze to a focused gaze that can see through everything and has a high degree of spirituality.

"Excessive power must be blocked and hidden to avoid over-reliance and the risk of being stolen by the enemy country. These two families understand this very well."

"Yes."

Sighing heavily again, the eyes that were originally full of high spirits returned to the weak state of narrowing slightly at the beginning, ready to fall asleep at any time.

Switching between the two, it is not clear whether it is really energetic or completely exhausted. Words such as vague and hazy are most suitable for this middle-aged man.

As an intelligence family, the head of the family is naturally best at all attitudes and actions that make people fail to catch information or produce wrong information, and what he has cultivated through hard work the day after tomorrow is the head that can accurately predict everything even if some information is missing.

Intelligence masters are not good at using skills or contacts to search for information, but using existing information for logical and reasonable analysis to extend more information.

It is even believed by the members of the family to have a brain that can predict the future.

"This time, the Magic Kingdom sent out a warning quickly and said that war will begin immediately. Such dangerous words prove that the Magic Kingdom is eager to get the target, even if hundreds of thousands of people are sacrificed."

Speaking of this, the Patriarch even closed his eyes completely and snored lightly for a while and fell asleep completely, but he stood up immediately in the next half a second and moved to one of the many bookshelves.

"Jieshe is a name, and a name is a code name, and this codename only represents common people and ordinary people. The leader's firm attitude, when Jieshi was promoted as the captain, the second family did not object, and the investigation of the Jieshi family showed no No results, now coupled with the eager attitude of the Magic Kingdom, it is obvious that the key lies in this masterpiece."

As he said that, the man took out a heavy book from the bookshelf that was "not the language of the kingdom of swords".

"funeral oration?"

Seeing the text on the cover, Feng Ao asked subconsciously.

There are gaps in the writing in the world. Not every country has its own writing. For example, the Kingdom of Swords, the Kingdom of Magic, and the Third Country. The three major countries all use the same writing. The main reason is that there are "giant mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to cross" around the three countries, which effectively cut off the connection and communication with other countries.

It is also because of this that the importance of books in these different languages ​​appears.

Feng Ao has no ability to write down all the words, at most it is limited to one-tenth of the words in this secret room.

The so-called sacrificial scriptures are the characters of a certain country that once flourished in the world for a while in history, but just as the fame spread to the "distant country of swords", the country that created the original "sacrificial scriptures" has been destroyed.

Feng Ao hasn't finished studying the sacrificial scriptures yet, each text has its own arrangement, totem, and shape, but if it's just the cover, he still has the ability to tell that what his father is holding is a book written by sacrificial scriptures.

"That's right, a book written by a country that has been extinct for at least 150 years. What's interesting is that the content of this book is the process of "recording the country that uses sacrificial texts" from prosperity to extinction."

Feng Ao was surprised when he heard this, and immediately nodded and responded to what his father wanted to express.

"This is the people of other countries deliberately using "sacrifice" to describe this country that uses sacrificial rites."

"I don't know if this is respect or full of malice, but the point is the people described by the author of this book. They love war and have a fighting personality. They specialize in plundering other countries' resources to keep themselves alive. The profession of mercenaries in the country accounts for almost 90.00% of them. % of the population."

"It's almost like a country that survives war."

People usually seek a carefree and peaceful life, able to coexist for themselves and help others, but this description is the opposite, as if people in that country are born for war and happy for annihilating others, almost the world heterogeneous existence.

Feng Ao's father gently flipped through the pages in the middle of the book, keeping each page for one second, and turning the pages quickly.

He continued in a state where he couldn't read it carefully.

"The people are weaker than humans in other countries, but they are good at copying the enemy's ability and then attacking it in reverse. They have the ability to learn and use it immediately. During the war, the pupils of the eyes will change color. As a result, many countries conspired to form a secret agreement. , destroying a country in one night."

Speaking of which, he closed the book and gently put it back on the bookshelf, and returned to his seat, squinting his eyes slightly and raised his right foot.

Compared with his father's ambiguous emotions, Feng Ao's eyes widened openly because of this description.

"The content of this story."

"The features in Jieshi's eyes are likely to be the clansman left behind after being slaughtered, but this is not enough to prove the reason why the leader values ​​it so much."

It is impossible to make Jieshi the captain of the hostage team just based on this unknown factor, and even sacrifice a lot of people to keep Jieshi.

"At the beginning, we helped the leader successfully defeat the various monarchs and reintegrate the fragmented territories into one country. On the surface, the Ouza Sakoro family played a major role in helping the leader. To be able to conquer the rest of the monarchs, there must be other factors, and it is widely spread in the Magic Kingdom that there is a "demon" in our country, and there must be reasons for this."

During the period of entering the Magic Kingdom, Feng Ao learned from the mouth of the nobles of the Magic Kingdom that there is a demon in the Kingdom of Swords several times. If it is completely opposite, it must be the hero of the Kingdom of Swords.

Back then, there were many heroes and nobles in the big and small wars where the kingdom of swords was split, so Feng Ao didn't take it to heart, and just wrote the relevant information to his father.

Now my father brings up such seemingly irrelevant things again.

"It's probably more complicated than expected."

He stretched out his finely wrinkled right hand to hold his drooping forehead, sweat slowly emerged from the slightly stiff skin.

"Father, should we go back to rest first?"

Out of health and safety concerns, it should be said that as the eldest daughter of the family, I couldn't help but remind me even though I really didn't want to interrupt the situation.

Intelligence experts, brains that predict the future, these seemingly beautiful and magical honorific titles are the curse of overpackaging.

To have power beyond balance necessarily sacrifices something else.

Feng Ao understands how great his father is, so he understands how heavy his father's hard work and pain are.

I just hope he can lie down comfortably in bed and sleep.

"The surname Citerno, Fengao, you must keep in mind. It's just my intuition, but I'm afraid it will be the key."

Seeing that my father is still "reluctantly" using his brain, the sweat beads on his body are like boiling steam, which suddenly appear in front of the naked eye but turn into white smoke - the body cannot bear such a high temperature state.

"Father, please rest well, it will be bad if someone finds out."

"Yeah, how can someone from the Empiri family reveal information on their own initiative?"

The reddened skin of the middle-aged man immediately became normal, and the white steam emitted instantly disappeared. He left the secret room as if he was fine, and walked in two steps as usual.

"My lord father."

Feng Ao knew that it was impossible to be okay like this, but because of the curse of being an intelligence expert, not only did his father have such thoughts consciously, even the cells had this "camouflage" cognition.

Whether to grasp the intelligence or be controlled by the so-called intelligence.

Feng Ao would have this question from time to time.
