There are two study rooms in the Black Swan Castle - originally there was only one study room at the beginning, which was not large in scale and naturally did not have a rich collection of books, so it was not so much a study as a rest environment that could provide a relaxing reading environment.

The new study is large, occupying almost a third of the second floor, and was designed and furnished by Cecilia herself. And this room has a very wide view, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room can see the entire front courtyard of the Black Swan Castle and most of the mountain road. But what really was valuable to Cecilia was the rich scent of books and ink emanating from this study.

In terms of the number of books in total, it can be said to be a miniature library.

At this time, in this large study, there were seven people, including Sean, Cecilia, Diana, Andrew, Bes, Enkos, and Kokire.

"So, you've finally found information about Laice?" Sean asked.

"Yes." Cecilia nodded, "It's news from Hela. …… However, according to Hela's meaning, it seems that she doesn't want William to know about it. ”

Sean nodded slightly.

He knew Hela's concerns and thoughts, after all, the matter about Laice could be said to be a thorn in William's heart.

Laice was a contemporaneous student who studied with William at the Imperial Military Academy of the Millennium Covenant. It is said that the results of the academy at that time have always been much better than William, and I don't know how the two became friends. However, about fifteen years ago, the Millennium Covenant Empire was triggered by a coup d'état with the Battle of Pochilia as the fuse, and William was abandoned as an outcast, and later was able to leave the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire with the help of this classmate and friend in desperation.

It was only ten years ago. William's friend was arrested and sent to prison.

And William after learning the news. Sean also wanted to go to the Millennium Covenant Empire to save people, but he had to give up because he had never been able to find out the location of the prison where Laice was being held. Later, when the Void Realm had sufficient intelligence investigation capabilities. William sent a large number of intelligence officers into the Millennium Covenant Empire to investigate the whereabouts of Laice, and more than three years passed before he finally got the news today.

Ten years had passed since Reis's arrest.

No one can say for sure what will become of Laice now.

Therefore, telling Sù William about this at such an important moment will inevitably cause him to be distracted and worried - Sean has heard about the Void Empire plan from Cecilia, and he can't deny this plan, because he didn't think about it in the long run, but this is a plan made by Cecilia and William, Hela, Neil and others, and Sean can't pour cold water, so no matter how he thought about it before. It didn't matter anymore, he had to deal with it as if it were the most important thing.

However, William is the first member to follow Sean after all, and it can be said that Sean can have the power of today's scale, which is completely inseparable from William's dedication.

And Cecilia is also very aware of Sean's temperament - if it is Sean who receives this information, his choice will be the same as Cecilia, so Cecilia will let Spector pass that information to William, and he will decide for himself.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that at such a time, Hashas would actually come to the door to ask for help, which was like dozing off and someone sent a pillow. Therefore, while seeking the best interests for his own side, Cecilia also decided to take this opportunity to send personnel deep into the territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire to carry out the plan to rescue Laith.

However, this is a special rescue team, so the participants must have a lot of mobility and personal strength.

The best fit for you. It is undoubtedly a team composed of pure strong people.

Unfortunately, this is not practical in the Void Principalities.

Because this rescue mission was hidden under the deal with Hashas, except for William himself to command the battle. At least one strong man must be in charge to prevent raids from having a strong man in the target army. Therefore, Rena's retinue was an inevitable choice. As for Shephaño, she must take charge of the Void City. Because now the Void City can be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes, many nobles from other countries have come to visit the Black Swan Castle, and there are also many Sacred Domain powerhouses here, without the suppression of Shefanio, it is impossible to rely on the team of Void Shadow alone.

Therefore, the only people who can really act are Harding and Cecilia.

However, Harding's combat abilities are also limited, and he can only be used at night and in dark environments. Therefore, Cecilia also planned to draw personnel from other legions to form a special mobile force with a size of about ten to fifteen people, which she personally commanded, and formed a shadow force with William. After all, they had no information about the team that secretly escorted and transferred Laice.

Especially when it comes to rescuing the prisoners of the Millennium Covenant Empire, Cecilia has no way to negotiate with Hashas to obtain information.

After listening to Cecilia describe her thoughts, Sean nodded noncommittally. In fact, even if it were for him to deal with the matter, in the absence of sufficient intelligence and strength, the method would be the same as Cecilia's, and there would be no difference. If anything, it's probably that Sean will choose a more risky gambling method and means of taking advantage of the situation - he will definitely drag the tribes of the Wild Lands into the water as well, after all, the Wild Lands are geographically "near the water" type.

But now......

"I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this operation." Sean said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Cecilia and Diana were both stunned, and some didn't react.

But Diana was okay, after all, she had a deep fear of Sean, so she only showed a slight look of surprise and didn't make a sound. However, Cecilia showed a deep look of incomprehension, and even subconsciously made a puzzled voice because of surprise, after all, she also knew Andrew and Bes, and she was very impressed by the strength of these two, so Cecilia even wanted Sean to help intercede. Let's see if we can ask Andrew and Bess to help.

If you can, then the difficulty of this operation will instantly change from high risk to day trip.

"We're going to the Great Floating Library. This time, I deliberately wanted to take you with me to come back, otherwise I would have been in the Floating Library by now. Sean spoke. So William, neither I nor Andrew can help. …… But if you just need a strong man to take charge, then this is easy to solve, I can get Nolo back now, and this little guy can also help a little. ”

"This kid?" Cecilia looked at Kokire, who was sitting beside Sean, in surprise.

When she first saw this child, Cecilia thought it was Sean's illegitimate son, and this time she went out for so long to bring him back by the way, just like Alfred took Sheena. It's just that when I looked at the behavior patterns of Kokire and Sean, I realized that I might have thought too much. After all, with Sean's character, it is not impossible to pick an orphan with a little talent and potential from the road back, and this is how the original Ruby was brought back by Sean.

Later, when she entered the study, Cecilia also specially instructed the kitchen to bring more sweets that children liked, so that Corquirete could taste some more.

Hearing Sean say this at this time, Cecilia was naturally a little curious and surprised. She reached out and gently pinched Kokire's face, and was instantly shocked when she noticed that Kokire's skin was as smooth as a baby's. This made her a little lovely: "This child is still so young, what can he do to help." …… It's fine for you to have Noro come back to help, but the Great Floating Library...... I'm not going, William is too short of manpower. ”

Sean looked at Cecilia pinching his face. He was actually very good-tempered and didn't get angry, and he was a little surprised in his heart, could it be because Cecilia had fed him a lot of sweets just now? He'd heard that sweets are very nutritious. But it was really shocking to expect a completely unknown creature like Kokire to have such a sweet tooth. But if that's the case, Sean knows how to get rid of Kokire in the future.

"The strength of this child. I'm afraid that even if the powerhouses of the entire Void Principality join forces now, he can knock us down with one hand. Sean coughed lightly, "This guy ...... It's super strong. ”

Cecilia's hand stiffened instantly.

At this moment, Cecilia's heart was like thousands of grass and mud horses galloping by.

She's actually pinching the face of a super strong person!

What a faux pas!

In the Miracle Continent, where the strong are respected, generally speaking, the legendary strong can be honored as His Royal Highness, which is a kind of respect for the strong. Even some members of the royal family who don't have much strength have to call the legendary powerhouse His Royal Highness. And the super strong who are stronger than the legendary powerhouse, this is the existence of even the legendary powerhouse to lower their arrogant heads, basically there is no law in this world that can restrain these super powerhouses.

Because those who can deal with super strong people are only super strong people with the same strength realm.

"Right...... I'm sorry. Cecilia said weakly, and at the same time stretched out her hand back with an embarrassed and restrained expression, and suddenly felt embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

"Kokire wouldn't be angry over such a trivial matter." Sean said with a chuckle.

Koukire, on the other hand, squinted at Sean and said, "Sweet." ”

Cecilia looked at Sean with a confused expression.

"He said he wanted some sweets." Sean dutifully acts as a translator, "This guy has a sweet tooth. …… When the time comes, if you want him to help, get him more sweets, and he should be happy. The last sentence was Sean leaning over Cecilia's side and whispering, but even though Sean repeatedly paid attention to his volume, he still underestimated the other people in the room - except for Diana who is an ordinary person, Sean and Cecilia are both inferior saints, everyone else is at the level of super powerhouses, and if they want to hear it, Sean can't hide it at all unless it is a heart-to-heart communication.

But perhaps Kokire really has a sweet tooth, so he didn't react much to it.

More of course, of course, he does not resist fighting.

Because for him, fighting means killing, and killing can be exchanged for endless fire of life, which are his favorite things.

For Sean, he was able to understand what Kokire was saying. Cecilia was also deeply impressed - in fact, not only Cecilia. Even Andrew, who initially tried to communicate with Kokire, eventually gave up on this kind of thing. I'm afraid all over the world. Except for Andrew, no one knew what Okirai was talking about. So Cecilia suddenly fell into a tangle.

The tangled thing is that with the assistance of a super strong person like Kokilei, this is naturally a great thing, at least the fault tolerance rate has been greatly improved. But the distress is that she can't communicate and communicate with Kokilei at all, and when the time comes, in the ever-changing battlefield environment, if there is any accident, how can she make Kokilei understand her intentions?

Except, of course, this thing. Cecilia was still struggling with another thing.

Instinctively, of course, she hoped that she could go to the floating library with Sean. After all, for magicians, the three greatest holy places in the world are the Spire, Fort Solomon, and the Floating Library. However, on the other hand, William is indeed understaffed now, so Cecilia also wants to help William to thank William for helping Sean over the years.

Cecilia was smart, smart enough to see that wry smile on Sean's face just now, and she knew what it meant.

Sean also wanted to help William get Reis back in person. But he couldn't do that. Cecilia didn't know what the reason was, but she knew that the reason must be from Andrew, and since Sean didn't plan to say it, Cecilia naturally didn't want to ask. She just felt a little sorry. She had just met Sean, and she was going to be separated again, which made her a little lonely.

What is Sean's reason. Probably no one knows about it except himself.

He asked Andrew and the others to accompany him back to the Void Principality. The request itself was quite capricious, but Andrew clearly didn't mind. After all, he also needed time to gather those members scattered all over the Miracle Continent to return to the team. And Sean, after returning to the Void Duchy, finally felt the feeling of "home", which made him have a personal experience of Andrew: they have been wandering in this dimensional world for so many years, and they must miss their hometown very much.

Therefore, Sean did not ask Andrew and others to help solve Laice's matter.

Now he is the Grand Duke of a principality, and this principality is even beginning to secretly prepare for becoming an empire. The forces under his command can already be said to be strong enough to reach a certain level, so matters such as rescuing Laice must be solved by himself - after all, there are countless people in the entire Void Principality who depend on him, and if he, the king, still depends on others, then what qualifications does he have to guarantee a good future for his followers?

Sean had originally wanted to take Cecilia with him to the Great Floating Library, but now it seems that this is obviously unlikely. But summoning Nolo back, and at the same time leaving Kokire, Sean felt that this was enough to ensure the safety of Cecilia and the others, so he did not give random instructions for Cecilia's plan decision, but joined the discussion as a staff officer, just giving some of his own suggestions and opinions.

He still had to stay here in the Void Principality for a few more days, and only after Rena and the others had returned and arranged the two angelic outfits from the St. Joels Empire before he and Andrew and the others set off to return to the Northern Continent. However, this time when he returned, he would not waste any more time, but Andrew would directly open the ultra-long-distance portal at a fixed point - this kind of ultra-long-distance portal could not be opened at will, and it must be accurately fixed.

This is also the reason why Andrew and the others did not directly open the ultra-long-distance portal when they returned to the Void Principality this time.

And with Sean's appearance, the news of the return of the most legendary Grand Duke of the Void Principality quickly spread throughout the entire Void Principality, and then radiated out towards the surrounding territories at an extremely fast speed. In particular, the whereabouts of Rena, William, Harding, Hela, Shephaneo and others were exposed one after another, as well as the large-scale mobilization of legions such as the Thunder Lion and Steel Wings, and the surrounding lords sent envoys into the Void Duchy one after another.

After all, the Void Principality is the image of a mad dog, and it has been very deeply rooted in the hearts of the nobility in Lane.

Even the Marquis of Flores sent a letter of condolence from King Lane. (To be continued......)
