Rui Lai was shocked. "Father is really thoughtful. I will pay close attention to the construction of the main cities in various places. No, I will personally supervise the construction in various places and try to speed up the progress!"

"Well...thank you for your hard work." Rhett looked at Ruilai, his most sensible son, and smiled with relief.

"Nothing. If father has nothing else to say, I will leave first."

"Wait." Leiter called out to Ruilai again, "Kazelei's birthday is coming soon. As a father, you'd better accompany him in person."

Ruilai smiled and took out a music box. "I have prepared a gift for him. He likes music, so this should be just right."

"That's good... By the way, there is one last thing. After you go down, send someone to pay attention to whether there are any abnormal phenomena in various parts of the world. I suspect that the origin of the god of love has already appeared, but no one has noticed it." Rhett thought of this and frowned.

He still couldn't believe that something that cost more than a thousand fate points could disappear like air. It must be that the way he was observing was wrong! "Understood, I'll send someone to investigate." Rui Lai thought for a while and said.

Two days later, at night.

The sky is full of stars and the moon is in the sky.

There is an artificial lake in the back garden of the palace, with rippling water and sparkling silver light.

Various aquatic beasts enjoyed the coolness of the night, jumping out of the water from time to time, splashing messy water.

The palace was much quieter at night than during the day. Servants no longer worked around the palace. Only knights patrolled in groups.

A pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Rhett sat in the center, Mycroft and Viders sat on both sides, and Sveta stood opposite the stone table, waiting respectfully.

"King... Erret, I have to go back on patrol. I have been away from the team for too long..."

Vides felt inexplicably uncomfortable sitting here and wanted to get up and leave.

"There are only a few of us in private, so we can just call each other as before. But...what's wrong with less patrols? With me here, are you still worried about the palace being in danger?" Rhett smiled casually, and then patted Mycroft on the shoulder, "Old buddy, don't you agree?"

"Burp, is it... or isn't it? Give me another glass of wine and I'll tell you the answer." After a burp, with a slightly red face, Mycroft's arms were shaking, holding an empty bottle of wine, and he said drunkenly.

The air was filled with the strong aroma of wine, and it was obvious that a lot had been drunk.

"You're hopeless." A few black lines appeared on Rhett's forehead. He pointed at McCovey, shook his head and sighed.

Ever since this guy came back from the cold wave defense line and learned about the wonderful chemical reaction between blood power and alcohol, which not only improved the taste, but also made the aftereffect extremely strong, he couldn't stop after just one sip, and spent the entire day lingering in the various taverns in the royal city, living a life of drunkenness.

Having said that, this kind of alcohol that can even make extraordinary people drunk has indeed become much more popular than in the past.

Even Wids' nose twitched, he sniffed the wine, and there was a hint of desire in his eyes as he looked at the bottle. But thinking that he would have to patrol later, he could only restrain himself.

"Where's Vicky? Aren't you afraid that she will see you like this and beat you up?" Rhett sneered.

"Haha, I'm afraid of her? Are you kidding me? I'm the head of this family... hiccups..." Mycroft, drunk, leaned against the railing and began to speak boldly.

Rhett and Vides looked at each other, McCovey was so brave!

But... is this really the case? Just then, a loud roar sounded not far away.

"Mycroft, you drunkard, I was wondering why I couldn't find you. It turns out you were hiding and drinking again!"

The smell of extraordinary alcohol is quite strong.

Even a supernatural being could smell it from a hundred meters away. As Mycroft's bedmate, Vicky naturally knew what kind of drink Mycroft liked best.

Besides, who else could drink in the palace at this time except a few relatives of the king?

The roar of a Hedong lion quickly spread to the pavilion.

Mycroft, who was still drunk and dreaming like a salted fish just a moment ago, suddenly stood up like a carp, and said to himself in panic: "Oh no, how did Vicky find me here..."

As he spoke, he made a quick decision and waved his hand, "Excuse me, everyone. We'll meet again next time!"

Before he could finish his words, he quickly left the pavilion.

He planned to delay for a while and go find Vicky after the alcohol wore off. His main point was to be shameless and refuse to admit it!

Rhett laughed and looked at Mycroft's embarrassed back as he left, and said in admiration: "That's it? He's the head of the family, huh..."

Then he looked at Vaders again and asked mysteriously, "Brother, what is your family status? How does it compare to Mycroft?"

Upon hearing this, Vides looked very strange, "Mycroft still has family status? Is he worthy of being compared with me?"

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time in tacit understanding.

"What a shame, this guy McCovey left in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to take out the things prepared for him." Rhett seemed to remember something and complained. He took out two small packages from the space ring, threw one directly at Vides, and threw the other on the stone table.

"This, this is..." Vides sniffed the scent, shock flashing in his eyes, "Could this be the so-called blood source power?"

The news of the bloodstone has spread throughout the world, and almost everyone knows that such a thing exists, but at present, few people actually know what it looks like, what it smells like, and other specific information.

Wides just felt that the smell was a little similar to the faint smell mixed in the wine, and combined with the rumors that it was very beneficial to the human body and could make people want to eat just by smelling it, he made such a guess.

Lei Te was playing with a blood stone in his hand, and said with emotion: "Yes, this thing is the blood stone, the most influential cultivation item in the future, enough to influence the world situation. Our Green Kingdom started a little slower than other kingdoms, and we only refined a batch a few days ago. I'll give you some to try the effect."

"Is this thing of great use to me?" Vides looked at the blood stone curiously and asked doubtfully.

"To be honest, you should be a third-level knight now. The current blood stone will not have a significant effect in the short term, but if you take it for a long time, the effect is still quite obvious." Lei Te analyzed while looking at Sveta, "But for Sveta, the effect of this blood stone can be said to be immediate. Strengthening the body is just a small matter, and it can even have the effect of prolonging life."

Upon hearing this, Sveta burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, King, for the reward!"

"This is what you deserve." Rhett waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Vides on the side listened thoughtfully. Would it be more helpful to ordinary people? He had already planned to give it to his family...

But he still swallowed one himself to see the effect.

At first, the blood essence stone in the hand was extremely hard, but when it was about to be digested in the mouth, it melted into the mysterious blood source power effortlessly, flowing into the limbs and bones like blood, and did not need to be actively decomposed and absorbed by the body's digestive system.

In other words, the efficacy of the drug was fully utilized! Vides closed his eyes and felt it carefully, smacking his lips: "Interesting, in such a short time, the physical condition has been improved, which is much easier than exercise. There is no doubt that it is important to the army! It is worthy of being the world-famous blood essence stone..."

Speaking of exercise, Rhett seemed to remember something and took out a new small package and handed it to Sveta, "Pass this bag to Ellie for me. Tell her to stick to her dreams and she will be rewarded!"

Sveta bowed and responded, "I understand. The king is generous and kind. I believe Ellie will be overjoyed when she hears the news!"

The next morning.

Rhett, who was handling kingdom affairs in the room and reviewing development details documents for various places, suddenly frowned when he saw the date marked on the lower right corner of a document called "Extraordinary Ranch Development Plan".

"Today...it's already the beginning of November. According to the latest text simulation, Black Star will come to see me in a few days..."

This incident has been on his mind, and he has an indescribable weird feeling.

"The next trajectory... First, Black Star came to visit and told me about the strange phenomenon of the Strange Rock Volcano. Then I went to the Strange Rock Volcano and met the purple eyeball instead, that is, the Soul Demon Clan..."

"Another month later, Black Star came to me for the second time. He was even more out of character, saying that he wanted to join me. His behavior was also very abnormal..."

Lei Te's eyes flickered as he recalled the information he had learned during the simulation - Peace Dove said that the Soul Demon was best at manipulating the mind and playing with the soul...

Then think about Black Star’s abnormal behavior.

In an instant, a terrible association came to Rhett's mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

——Could it be that Black Star was controlled by the Soul Demon and became a "God of Other Worlds"? And the Soul Demon knew Black Star's memory and wanted to use this chess piece to deal with him?

The more Rhett thought about it, the more terrified he felt.

A feeling of uneasiness arose spontaneously.

He was not afraid of the millions of troops in public, but he was afraid of the conspiracies and arrows in secret, which were impossible to guard against.

Who knows what other cards this soul demon has hidden that have not been exposed...

"Whoosh!"

Throwing down the pen and paper, Rhett tapped the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic "dong dong" sound. After a moment, he decided to take the initiative!

Regardless of whether Black Star was truly possessed or not, he could not remain indifferent and leave his own safety to the fate of the illusory world.

I have to find out for myself before I can stop!

Strange rock volcano.

What was once the base camp of a holy domain monster has now disappeared without a trace.

Gray clouds and haze often float in the sky above this area, making the space dark and lifeless.

The rumbling volcanic eruption, coupled with the dark brown, uneven, mineral-filled volcanic rock ground, left no grass and no mosquitoes.

At first glance, it seems isolated from the world, like another world.

Tap tap tap

Tap tap tap

Tap tap tap

Three quick footsteps sounded at the foot of a volcano.

A thin, masked man in black, and a tall, beautiful woman with golden curly hair and long straight legs who ran like a phantom, were chasing a scarred and panic-stricken old man, one in front and one behind.

"Tarson, where are you running to? Today you have to pay the price for those thirteen children!"

A delicate cry came from the mouth of the long-legged beauty. Through the veil, one could see her anger and coldness.

The short man also cursed in a low voice, "I've been looking for you for three months, and finally found you in this godforsaken place. Don't even think about escaping today!"

"Please, forgive me, I won't do it again!"

"I've already hidden here, why won't you let me go!"

Cries and begging for mercy continued to be heard from the fleeing man, and he begged for mercy sincerely while fleeing.

"Let you go, but who will let those you have harmed?"

Black Star snorted coldly, and a ball of black mist gradually condensed at the tip of the magic wand in his hand. The next moment, a ripple-like wave quickly spread out.

The ripples were invisible and traceless. Perhaps the person running in front was exhausted and did not notice the spread of the death ripples. Until he was hit, his body suddenly paused, staggered, and almost fell.

Fortunately, he regained his composure in time, rolled over, thought to himself that this was a close call, and continued to run away.

But in the next moment, the whistling sound of a whip came into his ears.

The old man's heart tightened and he wanted to respond.

But the whip was faster than the sound. When the old man wanted to turn his head to look back, he found that the distance between him and the ground was getting farther and farther.

Moving my eyes downward, I saw another headless corpse running slowly.

The figure and outline are extremely familiar.

It seems... like me?

His thoughts quickly froze, and he died with his eyes open even when his head fell off.

A thick black corrosive fog drifted over, turning the corpse into powder and drifting into the air.

"Jinsha, your whip skills are getting more and more powerful. I feel like they are better than swords. I saw the wound on the neck just now. It is as smooth as a cut, just like it was made by a sword."

The short man was Black Star. He looked at Jinsha and said with a giggle.

Jinsha looked at the powder that was constantly spreading in the air and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally I got rid of this guy..."

Then she touched Black Star's head and said proudly: "That's it, don't you look at who I am!"

"Come, have something to eat. I just found it from his hiding place." Black Star didn't mind and took out a bag of dried meat from his arms.

"Ugh, I don't want to eat this guy's food. It makes me sick!" Jinsha looked at the dried meat with disgust, shook his head, and walked away.

Black Star curled his lips, picked up a piece of dried meat and put it into his mouth, "Tsk, eat it if you like..."

As a magician, I feel a little tired after chasing for so long.

He was not in as good of a physical condition as Jinsha, so he sat down where he was, relaxed his body and mind, had a good rest, and planned to wait for Jinsha to come back by himself.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Black Star had already finished eating the jerky, but not only did Golden Sand disappear from his sight, in the end, he could no longer sense the other party's presence.
