Come to extraordinary times

The ten days and half a month was actually not as slow as I imagined. Along the way, my father and the others seemed to be traveling in mountains and rivers. Because there were so many people, it was very relaxing and enjoyable.

The imperial capital of Shala is indeed a foreign country, and the people at this time are more well-dressed...how should I put it?nationality!

After entering the city gate, a group of officials specially came to welcome him. Grand Duke Boer naturally had a mansion in the imperial capital, but it was not as big and luxurious as the mansion in 'Pendershire'.

Of course, since we and the Rhodes family are on the same road to the capital of Shala, we will inevitably encounter them.However, Grand Duke Bohr acted in a low-key manner, but perhaps he was also unwilling to confront the Rhodes family head-on, so he deliberately slowed down the schedule for a day.

Knowing that we were in conflict with the Rhodes family, Grand Duke Boer could only smile wryly, "The Rhodes family is the strongest family among the four major families of Sharra. This is a fact recognized by everyone in the Sharra Empire. Since he was A marquis and I a duke can tell."

"Ah? Why is that?" I asked incomprehensibly.

Father shook his head helplessly, ashamed that as a prince I don't even know the most basic common sense.

"Although the duke is higher than the earl, it is usually awarded to nobles with little real power." The emperor explained to me on the spot. It was because he was too laissez-faire with me, which caused me to not understand the basic common sense in the officialdom. take responsibility.Of course, Grand Duke Bohr didn't dare to explain. It felt like educating children for others, which was also disrespectful to my father and me.

"Oh, but I still don't understand." I blushed and accepted it humbly. Since I was ashamed, of course I had to ask clearly.

"After being made a duke, it's a comfort to let him no longer have access to the real power of the empire." The emperor smiled and touched my head. To be honest, it was the first time to educate me in the officialdom like this. Father also seems to have a sense of accomplishment. Father never knew where my knowledge of officialdom came from. He always thought that I read it by myself. "But if you let him touch the real power after being made a duke, then what rewards do you have to reward for your meritorious deeds? Could it be that you give him the throne?"

"Oh." Only then did I realize that this has always been the unspoken rule of officialdom in history.Thinking about it, it turned out that the family of the Grand Duke of Boer had a great meritorious service, and the prosperity would inevitably decline. The emperor also tabooed him, and made him a duke, making his family a free and easy prince from now on, with a prominent position but no real power.So it was passed down from generation to generation, but the family of the Grand Duke of Boer was almost at the end of the four major families.

So Grand Duke Boer was given the surname Carrey, but the other three major families did not have such an honor.However, Grand Duke Bohr did not really control the lifeline of the economy in the name of the country since he started business.

I understand how low-key Grand Duke Boer had to be and how desperate he was to cooperate with us to keep Little Ba, but perhaps Enlin's behavior that day really shocked Patriarch Rhodes, and they also kept a low profile along the way.

Arriving at the capital of Shala, there is still one month before the opening of the "Illusory Land". In this last month, the old rules of the Shala royal family will test all those who are about to enter the "Illusory Land" under the age of 20 The participants gathered together to train for a month, and the top three with the most outstanding performance, the Shala royal family, would each give a treasure for self-defense.

Naturally, the royal family will not be stingy.Moreover, during this month, they might meet the queen and leave a good impression on the queen. This is also a great opportunity for these children.

Of course, the royal family also knows that it is easy to cause accidents when children of so many families gather together.

Therefore, the Xia La royal family made a rule that during this month, they will pay attention to the situation that no one who participates in the test will die or be seriously injured.Once an accident occurs, if it is found out which family member is responsible, the opportunity for the entire family to enter the 'Illusory Land' test will be cancelled.

Of course, if it is possible that they cannot be found out, then all suspects will be disqualified.

No one can guarantee that they can do things in a watertight way, so during this month, safety is completely guaranteed, and even the enemy will deliberately protect you from accidents.As far as this regulation is concerned, I have to admire the crystallization of the wisdom of the Sharra Empire over the years.

We have to separate again. To be honest, it is impossible for Chris and the others not to be depressed. Fortunately, I have assigned tasks for them.After coming out of the "Unreal Land" this time, Xiao Ba must be safe and sound under my protection, but in the other three families of the four major families, everyone must think that Xiao Ba must die, so they are here For a while, I must have made plans to force the palace.

According to Grand Duke Boer, the little princess's health has gotten worse recently, and it is very likely that she will not be able to survive for a few days. The situation during this period is bound to be chaotic. Chris and the others must help the royal father and Queen Shara to keep secrets. Get in touch, make a plan, and grasp the entire situation of the Sharra Empire.

The queen's interests are the same as ours, and it's time for Chris and the others to stand alone.

I discussed it with my father. After this experience is over, it is very likely that my father and I will leave this space. We have decided to take the sixth brother with us.Of course, Qinglong and the others must have followed their father, so Chris and the others are the only choices left.

I don't make decisions about the fate of my friends, their future path should be chosen by themselves.It is not the best choice to leave this space with us, because Chris and the others still have family, relatives and their own circle, which is different from Brother Six. After all, even if Brother Six leaves with us, he will not leave his relatives.

And the new space is unknown, even my father and I are not sure.

We may be superior and unparalleled in this world, but what about in the new space?

Can you continue to be high?

impossible!

At least not at first.

After all, Qinglong and the others also said that this place is just an abandoned space, so people yearn for the unknown, but are afraid of the unknown.

The abilities of my father and I may be able to protect ourselves in a new space, and Qinglong and the others may be able to protect themselves. One more Brother Six is ​​not much, but if Chris and the others are added, I am even worried that I will not be able to protect myself Their thoughtfulness.

Of course, when it comes to this issue, I believe Chris and the others will say without hesitation that they are not afraid of paying their lives for it.However, I'm afraid that I don't have enough strength to face the unknown, and I don't want to let any of my friends really leave.

So, I give them options, and I tell them the facts and my thoughts.If Chris and the others decide to follow us in the end, of course I will not object, but if they decide to stay, I will make arrangements for them.

It is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. This is the time to really train them.

I am relieved to have my father teaching them and helping them.

They took a brief tour of the Imperial Capital of Shala with their father, and on the third day, they entered the palace with the sixth brother, Grand Duke Bohr and Hayek.

The other seven children of the Peng De family entered the palace with us. They were not surprised that the sixth brother and I joined, because sometimes the four major families often go to the "Unreal Land" for the test every ten years. Some children with foreign surnames will be adopted as adopted sons, and they will be allowed to participate in the 'Unreal Land', maybe for the safety of the direct lineage, or maybe to get more treasures from the 'Unreal Land'.

The palace of the Shala Empire is not as majestic and resplendent as the Qingtian Empire and the Ama Empire, but it has enough characteristics that the Shala Palace actually has the shadow of elves.Could it be that the Xiala Empire has surrendered the elves in the Sapphire Forest?

impossible!

I remembered Nia, the only elf princess I ever met. She once swore loyalty to me because of the elf praise, and said that I would rejuvenate the family for them.

Could it be that they couldn't wait for me, so they came to the human world by themselves and chose a new reliance?

It's all a mystery, though, and maybe I'll find out in due time.

Shala's empress should not be too young now, she is of the same generation as grandma's mother and concubine.Although grandma is not very old, Queen Shala is at least over 100 years old.

The age of more than 100 years is equivalent to the age of 40 in the previous life, but the women in the palace are well maintained, and they may only look like [-] years old.

Of course, this is my guess, but I heard that Shala's queen is not in good health, and it seems that she will not live long.

Queen Shala was the chief culprit who forced my grandmother to death and forced her to flee to another country, but the court is like this, and I have no intention of avenging my grandmother and the others.

It's not that I'm cold-blooded, it's just that the grievances of the previous generation are too far away. I don't have such a strong family view, especially if I'm just my grandmother's concubine.As for the kindness my grandma gave me as the "Pearl of the Deep Sea", I had already repaid it when I went to find the Pirate King. I have never met my grandma, so naturally I can't say that I feel the same deeply.

But maybe grandma also took it lightly. The palace has never been a peaceful place, so even though grandma has been in the Xiao family for so many years, she never thought of going back to Shala.

It suddenly occurred to me that I would be able to see Xiao Ba soon, and now he is also eight years old, right?He's less than six years younger than me, and I'm approaching my 14th birthday.

How the days fly by!

There is a hall in the palace, this time all our "Unreal Land" testers will gather in the hall first, and arrange matters about this training camp.

When we entered the hall with Grand Duke Bohr, I recognized Xiao Ba at a glance.

Originally, as the prince of the Sharra Empire, he should be the last to appear on the stage, but he didn't, standing there alone, with a thin body of only eight years old, standing upright, with a kind of inherent arrogance and loneliness.

Suddenly, my eye sockets were a little red.
