The sudden earthquake event of Black Swan Castle, after an inexplicable start, also ended in an equally inexplicable situation.

However, few people found that the whole castle suddenly had a pothole, of course, even if it was found, no one took it seriously, after all, this castle is also very old, although it has been rebuilt before, but many of the damage to the interior of the castle cannot be restored, because this kind of project is no longer a simple repair and maintenance, it can be regarded as a renovation and reconstruction.

But the servants and guards of the castle were a little surprised by the situation caused by the earthquake.

For example, in addition to the irreparable damage to the kitchen, another loss is the completely shattered desk in the room of Sean, the owner of the Black Swan Castle. Many people are curious, why is it that only the desk in Sean's room has been destroyed, while the rest of the things are undamaged?

In the end, everyone can only blame the poor quality of this desk.

Of course, there are still people who know the truth.

"So, this guy caused the earthquake in the entire castle?" Cecilia looked at the ball of light hovering beside Sean with some surprise, "How does it look like...... Looking a little frustrated? ”

At this time, it was already night, and the desk in Sean's room had just been replaced, and it was taken from the old room temporarily, so this desk looked a little shabby. Sean doesn't seem to mind this, though, as he reads a letter from Void City that has been sent urgently, and the fire paint is stamped with Asuna's seal, indicating that it was a letter from Tonis Fortress.

The letter was received by Cecilia, and it was precisely because of this that she came to Sean's room at this time, and naturally met Gollum because of this.

"Really?" Sean opened the letter. Hearing Cecilia say this, she raised her head in confusion and glanced at Gollum.

According to the afternoon's "experiment", Sean found that Gollum is indeed a creature, and it is obviously a high-IQ creature, after it has a resonant reaction with the host, it can not only communicate with the host, but even completely use the host as a template for a comprehensive replication, including wisdom, common sense, emotions, etc. So it's normal for Sean to be able to clearly feel Gollum's emotions without looking, and even what Gollum wants to express. In fact, Gollum was indeed a little frustrated at this time, but what Sean couldn't understand was. Why can Cecilia feel it, is the magician's perception really sensitive to this extent, or is this some kind of bloodline ability unique to Cecilia?

In the phoenix bloodline, there is indeed an ability to communicate with all demonic beasts and creatures.

But when Sean looked up at Gollum, he finally understood what it was for, even Cecilia would know that Gollum's mood was wrong.

Although the Gollum floating in mid-air at this time looks the same as before. But the glow was much dimmer than normal, and the space around it was noticeably a little blurry. It's like a normal person with the words "I'm lost" written on his face. So unless it's blind. Otherwise, no one would have thought this guy was happy when they saw Gollum's appearance.

"What's your attitude?" Sean raised an eyebrow and took out the letter casually.

"Goo...... Purr ......" Gollum replied weakly, which was an extremely stark contrast to the energetic appearance in the afternoon.

"Hey, it's too dark, turn up the highlights." Sean had already unfolded the letter. Hearing Gollum's weak voice, he glanced at Gollum again.

However, it was clear that Gollum was very unhappy with her master, and it began to shake up and down in mid-air - of course. It's not really jittering, but it's the purpose of shaking by vibrating the space at high frequencies, at least it looks like the guy is shaking - and then making gurgling and shouting, these sounds are naturally a murmur of completely unknown meaning in Cecilia's ears, just looking at Gollum's attitude so intense, it's obviously not a good thing to say.

"What is she talking about?" Cecilia couldn't resist her curiosity after all, and opened her mouth to ask.

"It says it's not a lighting appliance." Sean looked much kinder to Cecilia, but when Sean turned his head to face Gollum again, his face became impatient, "I think you haven't had enough fun in the afternoon, have you?" Why don't you fly a few more times? ”

As he said this, Sean raised his right hand as well.

Seeing Sean's movements, Gollum immediately stopped making those meaningless sounds and no longer shaking, but desperately emitted a golden light.

At this moment, the brilliance that erupted from Gollum's body was like a small sun. In Sean's room, he could even feel the rising heat, and the room, which was already somewhat sealed because of the closed windows, instantly made Sean feel like he was in a sea of fire, and he could completely feel that the water in his body was losing like crazy.

"Are you trying to blind me?" Sean roared a little angrily, "Let you turn up the light, not let you emit high temperatures, you are deliberately against me, right?" I think you're trying to get a taste of what it's like to be buried in a dung pit. ”

"Gollum! Grunt! ”

"Hmph, if you don't want it, give me realization." Sean pursed his lips, he couldn't see even if he looked up, it was like a grunt of the sun, the heat even made the ends of his hair burn a little, he felt like he was about to melt.

Perhaps the threat of being buried in a dung pit was so effective, Gollum let out a resigned wail, then re-brightened the light. This time, although the light he emitted was still very strong, it did not have that dazzling feeling, and there was no longer that feeling like being in a sea of fire, but there was a little more holiness in the light, which was both strange and familiar to Sean and made Sean feel a little puzzled.

Familiar, that's because Sean can be sure that he has definitely experienced it himself, but after coming to this world, he has not faced this feeling again, otherwise he can't remember it. And this is also the reason for the strangeness, because he can't remember it, Sean thinks that this should be something he should have felt in the game, and there should not be many times, and there is no impressive situation. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a stranger.

This illusion is only a momentary thing, and the lack of an impression means that it is not important. Since even the system directly rated Gollum as an "unknown creature", Sean didn't think there was any need to investigate Gollum's existence, anyway, this guy didn't seem to be worth much at the moment, so Sean refocused his attention on the letter sent by Asuna.

The content of the letter was not complicated, but it reminded Sean in a more subtle way that the emissaries from the Millennium Covenant Empire and the royal family had arrived at Tonys Fortress ahead of schedule, and they would probably depart from Tonys Fortress in a month, and they were expected to arrive in Void City in two and a half months. The letter also states that the Millennium Covenant Empire is aware of the verification of the ownership of the territory initiated by the Hastins of the Dabion Kingdom against the Panda Territory. The reason why they arrived in Void City in two months was to stagger with the executive of the Peace Association, and of course they didn't want to meet with people from other churches, so from the essence of the matter, this action of the Millennium Covenant Empire was probably a secret operation, and of course, it was not ruled out that the other party had the suspicion of taking advantage of the fire to rob.

The content of the letter is not long. So Sean finished reading it quickly.

"What did the Marquis say?" Cecilia saw Sean put the letter down and asked.

"The people of the Millennial Covenant Empire will arrive in Void City in about two months." For Cecilia. Sean has nothing to hide. And this matter had already been mentioned to Sean when Asuna visited secretly, so Sean said it very simply at this time, "They picked a good time, just when we finished solving the matter about the territory contract paperwork." ”

Hearing this, Cecilia's brows furrowed slightly: "They already know about this?" ”

"Never underestimate an empire's intelligence-gathering capabilities." Sean said in a deep voice, "Judging by Asuna's reminder. It is clear that the Millennium Covenant Empire is suspected of taking advantage of the fire to loot. Probably trying to pressure me to hand you over when we lose our territory, and in exchange I can probably get an official title and a more fertile territory, and even become a nobleman of the Millennium Covenant Empire. ”

Cecilia smiled, "Looks like I'm pretty valuable." ”

"yes. The standard white Fumi tweed. Sean also smiled, "The Millennium Covenant Empire is very calculating, pinching the time to come to us, if it weren't for Asuna's reminder to get the territory contract documents in my hands before, maybe we would still be a little desperate at this time." ”

Cecilia thought about it and realized that this was really the case.

At present, the situation in Pandaling is indeed chaotic.

The Dai Territory was semi-paralyzed due to the previous military movements, and the Chirav Territory, because of its proximity to the Gap Rift, was a military blockade from the beginning, and all roads were blocked, and the two territories were completely deprived of the possibility of development in a short period of time, and they would also be unable to develop in the near future because they would become the front lines of warfare.

In addition, there are two things that need to be dealt with in the current priority of the territory.

The first is that Sean has taken over the Great Rift. This is one of the important business routes of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, with the strength shown by Sean at present, it is absolutely impossible for them to let Sean dominate, although because of the demonic incident planned by Neil, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has no time and no energy to toss with Sean, but Enkos, the abyss demon, is obviously impossible to be caught, so the dispute between the major churches and the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will end sooner or later, and then they will naturally be able to free up their hands to deal with Sean. So as for what to do next, that's what Sean has to decide as soon as possible.

And the second thing is naturally the issue of fighting with the Hasteen family for the ownership of Panda's territory. This matter is because of the intervention of those madmen of the Peace Association, so the trickiness of the matter is more headache than the first thing - at least if Sean really occupies the Great Rift Valley and does not return it, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can only carry out some secret operations to compete with Sean, and eventually some kind of agreement will be reached, but the Peace Association is a well-known madman in the whole continent, if it is proved that Panda is not owned by Sean, and Sean still occupies it and does not leave, then the Peace Association will dare to kill him directly, When the time comes, even Asuna will definitely not be able to keep Sean.

According to Asuna's previous information, the people from the Peace Association will arrive in Void City in about a month and a half, and as soon as the assessment results come out, Sean will only have half a month to pack up his things and leave. And at this time. The people of the Millennium Covenant Empire arrived at the right time, and the envoys of the royal family of the United Principality of Ryan put pressure on Sean, as long as he is a normal person who has tasted the sweetness of lords and nobles, it is impossible for him to go back to being an obscure ordinary person, so Sean will definitely be forced to hand over Cecilia under pressure and interests. If the people of the Millennium Covenant Empire were more ruthless, and then they would put pressure together with the people of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and at the same time send troops from the Millennium Covenant area to advance to the Great Rift Valley region, then Sean would really have lost all his money, and it can even be said that all his efforts in the past two years have been in vain.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the ownership of Panda Ling does not belong to Sean.

It's just a pity. The people of the Millennium Covenant Empire did not know that the contract document of Panda Ling had fallen into Sean's hands, so this kind of pressure method could not be effective at all. And, in a strict sense, Sean is not a normal person at all. Even if Panda lost the territory, Sean would not be able to hand over Cecilia. After all, the reason why he took a fancy to Panda Ling, as well as Dayi Ling and Kiraf Ling. It's just a pretext for war with the kingdom of Dabion.

However, the current matter has been fully handled, and the pressure strategy of the Millennium Covenant Empire is unlikely to succeed from the beginning, so Sean didn't pay attention to it at all. His only fear was that the Millennial Covenant Empire, if it found out that the plot was unsuccessful, would turn to the use of force to kidnap Cecilia, if that happened. Sean really couldn't stop it.

So, after thinking about it carefully, Sean spoke: "Tomorrow you go back to Void City with me, and then you stay in Void City." Unless I allow you, you are not allowed to leave Void City for half a step. ”

"For what?"

"Void City is protected by Beth, and only there are you safe." Sean replied.

"Are you afraid that they will take me away by force?" Cecilia was also a little surprised.

"In addition to not underestimating an empire's intelligence-gathering capabilities, their strength should also not be underestimated." Sean said calmly, "Believe me, if the bloodline experiment is really reopened in the Millennium Covenant Empire, their desire to capture you back must be extremely strong, and they will even pay any price for it." …… I'm worried now about whether the bass will be able to stop those you have bad intentions for, no...... I'm going to go to Momiji Town tomorrow to ask Andrew. ”

As long as Cecilia is involved, Sean will always have a kind of panic, not at all as calm and wise as before. Although this behavior is indeed a bit funny, Cecilia always feels very sweet every time she sees such a Sean, so she doesn't want to object to anything, or Cecilia actually enjoys Sean's tenderness and attention.

"Hey, idiot, it's dark again, aren't you lazy?" Sean suddenly raised his head and snorted at Gollum.

Gollum made a somewhat aggrieved sound, and under Sean's obscene oppression, it had to readjust the level of light emanating from itself. But in fact, it's not lazy at all, it's just a little tired.

"Don't do that to Gollum, I always think it's so pathetic." Cecilia glanced at Gollum and said with some sympathy.

"Gollum!" Gollum, floating in mid-air, let out a well-timed cry that sounded like it was agreeing with Cecilia's words.

"What can this idiot do but be a lighting fixture and a heater?" Sean pursed his lips, a little disapproving, because after a whole afternoon of trying, in addition to being able to be used as lighting and heating, Sean didn't find any other value at all, even if it was used as a hidden weapon to throw, it was very limited, at least at night it was obviously ineffective, and it definitely didn't play a role in the face of those strong people above the Holy Domain.

"Gurgling ......"

As if arguing for himself, Gollum once again uttered a series of hurried statements of unknown meaning. Whenever Gollum utters such a hurried statement, even though it has telepathy with Sean, Sean still can't hear what Gollum is saying, and all he needs to endure is a double bombardment of his ears and brain. So in this case, Gollum got a slap in the face from Sean.

"Speak to me!" I saw a flash of golden light, and Gollum, which was slapped away by Sean, was already embedded in the wall, which naturally caused a vibration of the entire castle, but compared to the situation in the afternoon, this time the vibration was obviously much weaker, and it seemed that Gollum had begun to be able to control his strength.

"Sean!" There was a hint of reproach in Cecilia's tone, but she quickly ran to the side wall and reached for Gollum to pull it out.

"Don't!" Seeing Cecilia's actions, Sean directly let out an exclamation.

Gollum is born with a stance that affects the space around Gollum, allowing it to not only float in mid-air, but even cause damage to anyone who comes into contact with this spatial stance, the effect of which is equivalent to being directly in the void turbulence. As we all know, Void Turbulence is a natural air flow with annihilation properties, and anything that comes into contact with this air flow will be completely annihilated in an instant, and it is impossible to leave even a bit of residue.

The reason why Sean was able to make contact with Gollum was because there was a stronger rule between Gollum and Gollum that protected him.

But Cecilia didn't have this rule, and if she tried to make contact with Gollum, her entire right hand would be crushed and annihilated by the Void Turbulence in an instant.

However, an unexpected situation was staged at this moment.

Cecilia's right hand was not directly annihilated as imagined, but grabbed Gollum out through that layer of spatial stance, watching Cecilia take Gollum in her hand and rub it gently, Sean was also a little dazed.

"It's so soft!" Cecilia behaved like a child getting a new toy, with an indescribable surprise on her face, "a touch softer than a marshmallow......"

"It's ......," Sean blinked.

"Gollum!" Gollum made a sound similar to a chirp, and seemed to be a little smug.

However, Sean heard the meaning of his words clearly: "You mean that as long as you agree, people other than me can also contact you?" ”

"Gollum!"

"Hmph." Sean snorted coldly, but there was obviously a sense of relief.

Gollum was lying lazily in Cecilia's palm, but it didn't pay attention to Sean, but if Gollum could show his expression, then Sean could see that Gollum was also showing a relieved expression at this time. The other people want to have contact with Gollum, but it is not as simple and easy as what Gollum just said to Sean, the moment Cecilia comes into contact with Gollum, Gollum forcibly cuts off the protection of the stance from herself, and then re-modifies the adaptability of the stance so that Cecilia does no harm.

As a highly intelligent creature, and a reproduction of Sean as a template, Gollum certainly knows how important the woman in front of her is to Sean. If it hurts the magician named Cecilia, Gollum is confident that she won't be thrown into a dung pit. (To be continued......)
