Gollum is a pet that Sean got when he was in the lottery.

But at that time, Sean didn't take this guy too seriously. Although Sean was not a powerhouse in the Sanctuary at that time, Gollum could also be used as a special killing weapon, and his combat effectiveness was still very guaranteed. It was only later when he fought Edward that Gollum fell into a deep sleep, and at that time Sean had not figured out the situation until he met with Beth and Enkos in the Mermaid Vault, and then went to find Hercules after following his advice, and finally learned the truth.

However, at that time, Hercules said that it would take about a year or two to cure Gollum.

Now that he has carefully calculated the time, it is not even a year, so Sean didn't think about it so much after returning to the Void Duchy, but planned to wait until he went to the Floating Library to ask Hercules about the situation. After all, according to Andrew, he had already asked all the people of the Dark Phoenix Mercenary Group to gather at the God of War Church, so it was only a matter of time before Sean and Hercules met.

But what Sean didn't expect was that Hercules would actually have someone send Gollum over.

So, Sean and Andrew soon left the Black Swan Castle and came to the forecourt square of the castle. Because it was Bess who went out to greet him, and the people in the castle also knew that Bess was an important guest invited by Sean, it was not a problem for him to bring people in, and naturally no one would ask.

It's just that when Sean saw someone coming, he was still a little surprised.

The people who sent Gollum back were the four mercenaries that Sean had seen in Hercules' courtyard before, and were receiving instructions from Hercules.

I haven't seen each other for a year, and these four women have obviously grown a lot of strength. The momentum exuded from them was very condensed and vigorous. And people like Sean who have a keen-eyed perception found that the momentum of these four women also contained a very obvious and strong bloody atmosphere. The momentum made the four women much more dangerous than they looked.

And the Void Shadow Guards happen to be the elite of the elite who have been honed in countless bloody battles. Therefore, they can naturally feel the breath of these four women, but since they are the people brought in by Bes, they are not easy to check anything, but they do not relax because of this, but show a faint encirclement trend, ensuring that in the event of a conflict, they can attack these four women as soon as possible.

However, compared to the surprise Sean showed when he saw these four people, the four women also showed shock in their eyes the first moment they saw Sean.

A year ago. They first met each other in Hercules' courtyard.

At that time, the four of them were also seeking to break through and become the powerhouses of the Sanctuary Realm, so they went to accept Hercules' guidance. In a sense, they used to be on the same starting line, and there was no such thing as who ran first and who jogged, and if they were to be investigated, they were the ones who had been instructed by Hercules for several days.

But now, a year has passed, and Sean has become a powerhouse in the Sanctuary. And no matter how you look at it, they don't look like the kind of people who have just entered the Holy Domain, but rather like veterans who have been precipitating in the realm of the lower Sacred Realm for a long time and are seeking to break through to the middle Sacred Realm realm - even though they have long heard that the breakthrough of the Sacred Realm is an epiphany. The best time to test your genius. And they were still hovering in the boundary between the upper golden peak and the lower holy realm, although they had already stepped into the lower holy realm with half a foot. But after all, he can't be regarded as a real low-level Sacred Domain powerhouse.

Now, the four finally know. Why did Hercules say those things to them when he was leaving?

"Hercules asked you to come?" Andrew glanced at the four. Then he said, "What about others?" ”

"Hercules has already left first, saying that he has something important to deal with." One of the four women was a petite woman who spoke, she had long pale blonde hair, and her appearance was sweet and lovely, if it weren't for the aura on her body with an extremely obvious bloody aura, in Sean's eyes, this woman was simply a child, and it was believed that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, "So ask us to send this thing." ”

The woman said as she lowered the backpack behind her, then took out a large wooden box that resembled a food box and handed it to Andrew.

Andrew didn't look at it, and handed the wooden box to Sean.

The wooden box is black with a golden vein painted on it, and the first impression of the whole wooden box is luxurious. However, there are several talismans that look like spirit runes on the wooden box, and the oriental fantasy color is too strong, so that Sean has a sense of disobedience - the Cyanas Empire has a special profession that uses spirit runes to fight, and is called a rune swordsmith, but the spirit runes they use are not the kind that Shaun sees now.

When Sean took the wooden box, it felt much lighter than he imagined, and it could even be said that there was no weight. Sean couldn't figure out if his strength had really increased, or if the wooden box was actually much lighter than it looked.

He tore the seal open with some eagerness.

In an instant, the originally calm wooden box instantly produced a strong fluctuation, and then a golden light broke through the box and flew towards the sky. The entire wooden box, at the same time as this golden light shot out, also exploded into countless sawdust and shot around, like a rain of arrows.

But at this moment, an invisible air flow suddenly shook in the air.

Immediately afterward, the sawdust, which had reached a lethal rate, came to a halt in the air, as if in a state of weightlessness - in fact, the sawdust did not stop in the air because of this, but its speed became so slow that it felt like it was hovering in the air. With a slight move, Sean pushed the sawdust away, and the others around him did the same to make sure that he was not in the flying path of the sawdust.

This is Sean's domain ability - time.

He named his realm "Void Degree", which means that every time in his realm is wasted. In fact. The formation of Sean's field was completely perfected in the course of this return trip after Sean had thought about it for a long time. There are four main abilities, two to strengthen oneself and two to weaken the enemy. Each of these four capabilities accounts for 25 percent.

This ability, which is similar to a volley pause, reduces the movement speed and attack speed of all hostile targets in the enemy effect. It just so happens that the burst of sawdust is both movement speed and attack speed, and under the effect of double superposition, these sawdust are truly equivalent to a volley pause.

Sean glanced around to make sure the sawdust didn't hurt anyone before nodding slightly and disarming the domain ability.

The next moment, the sawdust regained its original speed and shot out towards the surroundings, and in an instant, the surrounding land seemed to have been ravaged by a storm. Everywhere there were fine, sharp fragments of wood chips. However, except for a few people who were looking at the sawdust on the ground around them, most of them turned their eyes to the golden light that shot into the air.

Sean whistled.

The moment this golden light burst out of the air, Sean felt the fluctuating aura from Gollum in his soul. It's just that there is an extremely strong dissatisfaction in this breath, and it breaks through the air more just to vent this dissatisfaction - it is relieved to think about it carefully, after all, it has been locked up for so long.

If at this moment, Sean didn't know what the talismans on this wooden box were for, then he was really stupid.

As if hearing Sean's whistle, the golden light that shot straight into the sky suddenly turned. Then it fell like a meteorite towards Sean. Because it was so fast that wisps of fiery red flames rolled up next to the golden brilliance, Sean's face changed instantly, if it made Gollum bump into it like this. Even if he had a silver body, he couldn't hold it.

"Stop me, you two goods, you want to smash me to death so fast!" Sean shouted at Gollum in his heart.

Sean's roar is heard. Gollum, who was falling rapidly, was suddenly stunned, probably because he was afraid that he would really kill Sean. However, the speed of the landing has slowed down. But for many people, the speed of Gollum's landing still seemed to be very fast, especially the inexplicable terrifying coercion in this golden light. This surprised many people. Of course, the most surprising thing was the four women who transported Gollum back, but fortunately they didn't open the wooden box halfway, otherwise there would have been no casualties.

Even, in the eyes of these four women, perhaps transporting Gollum back from the beginning was already a test.

Soon, Gollum finally descended in front of Sean and began to circle around Sean, so fast that a golden halo of light encircled Sean's side. However, Sean was also surprised to find that the speed of Gollum seemed to be faster than before, and the sense of coercion emanating from his body was obviously much stronger, if he had to compare, Gollum was at least equivalent to the destructive power of the Median Sacred Domain.

Destructive power does not mean strength.

If in the past, when Sean threw Gollum out, it also played the role of a fragmentation grenade, then now throwing Gollum out is the effect of mortar bombardment. But it's a pity that this only represents the destructive power, that is, it is equivalent to the full force of the middle Sacred Domain powerhouse, and it can't really confront the middle Sacred Domain powerhouse, but if it is used in unexpected attacks, it can reap great miraculous effects.

"Alright, alright." Sean laughed, reaching out and grabbing Gollum.

Only Sean can hold Gollum with his bare hands without any scruples, and unless others are strong people above the Sacred Realm realm, they can't touch Gollum at all. Of course, even if he is a powerhouse in the Sanctuary Realm, if he wants to contact Gollum, he has to confront and compete with Gollum's own force field, and if he can't suppress Gollum's force field, he will also have nothing to do with Gollum. It's just that probably not many people can find this out when they first come into contact with Gollum, which is one of the reasons why Sean has always thought that Gollum can be used as some kind of miracle effect.

"Looks like that Hercules guy has made a little bit of a heavy investment." Andrew glanced at the grunt that Sean was holding in his hand, and then said with a smile, "This guy has officially passed his childhood and entered the growth period. …… Originally, this process may have taken more than ten years of effort, but now that it has been advanced, it can be regarded as a pros and cons. ”

"Pros and cons?" Sean asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"The advantage is that this thing is in the growth period, its strength increases rapidly, as long as you can maintain the same growth rate with it, then the higher the tacit understanding between it and you, the greater the power that can help each other." Andrew thought for a moment and replied in an easy-to-understand way that Sean could understand, "But the downside is that Hercules's approach is a bit of a sprout, and the foundation of this thing has not been completely laid, and when it enters the molding stage in the future, it will ...... You probably have to work harder, probably to put the shortened time of more than ten years into the future, and of course the time may be delayed to twenty years or more. ”

"Okay." Sean shrugged, he didn't particularly care about any of that, as long as Gollum was alive anyway.

As for the future, let's talk about it later, after all, it is too long ago to say twenty or thirty years to Sean now. Moreover, he didn't even know how many years Gollum's growth period would go through, and if you look at the growth urine of the original childhood, I'm afraid it would be another few decades of growth, so Sean decided not to think about it at all.

"Guys, thank you so much for sending Gollum back." Sean squeezed the grunt lightly, then let it go and let it roam freely before he said to the four women, "If you're all right, you might as well stay in the Void Principality for a few days." …… I'll arrange for someone to entertain you. ”

After the four women looked at each other, the petite blonde woman spoke: "Lord Sean, in fact, this time we will not only ...... Gollum sent back, there was another thing. ”

"Oh?" Sean was a little puzzled, he glanced at Andrew, but Andrew didn't seem to know, so he continued to ask, "I don't know what it is?" ”

"That's right." The blonde woman spoke, "We have been instructed by Mr. Hercules for a year, and we are quite satisfied with the speed of our own strength improvement, of course, it is not as fast as the speed of your strength promotion, but we are confident that we can break through to the realm of the Holy Realm in a short period of time." It's just that Mr. Hercules has something to do with him, so let's come to Master Sean, saying that we can continue to get a good opportunity to exercise on your side, so ......"

"So, you're planning to work under me for a while?" Sean asked.

"Yes." Another woman next to her suddenly took a step forward, and then said in a deep voice, "The four of us belong to the same mercenary group. We want to get you the next stage of your workout, and that's what Hercules is instructing. In return, we can help you with the tasks and actions assigned to you at no cost, but we expect you to provide us with three meals a day and accommodation. ”

Sean glanced at the woman.

It was a woman with medium-length black hair, her hair falling to her shoulders and her ends curling slightly. Her face looked a little delicate, her skin was fair, and the leather armor she wore also completely revealed her fiery figure without reservation. However, judging from these superficial outfits, this woman seems to be an assassin or something related to it, but the subtle thing is that Sean does not feel any shadow aura on her body that is unique to assassins.

But on the contrary, the momentum shown by this woman is the strongest among the four.

"What's your name?" Sean asked.

"Rilista. Yale. The delicate-looking black-haired woman said in a deep voice.

"Yale?" Sean was stunned for a moment, and then carefully observed the black-haired woman, "You...... Meet William. Yale? (To be continued......)
