I really just want to be a big lord

After entering the Holy Blessing Palace, Kaios and Pan De were separated.

Pender was taken away by a punishment knight in the Holy Blessing Palace, while Kaios was led by Marcus himself.

"You don't seem to be worried at all?" Marcus, who was walking in front, slowed down a bit, and asked the same question that Pender had asked in the carriage.

"Do I need to worry?" Keos said casually.

Marcus was silent for a while, and then said again: "Whether you are pretending to be stupid or not, you persuaded Count Christina on the way and didn't let her mess around... I have to thank you."

Keos smiled, but said something that surprised him and made him puzzled: "You won't thank me soon."

Marcus couldn't help but stop and look back at Kaios. Seeing his relaxed and comfortable smile, he couldn't help feeling "Is there something wrong with this guy?"

Of course, when he thanked Kaios, he didn't really feel grateful, but used this excuse to think if he could learn something from him, and when he reported to Master Wally later, he could have more to say , to make the contribution of this westward mission a little more perfect.

He also wanted to see what kind of expression Kaios would have when he realized what he was really going to face when he came to Shengyou Palace in the Holy Capital this time.

The corridors began to become dark. The corridor they passed before had floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, but now, there are walls on both sides. Every ten meters or so, there are a pair of magic lamps, emitting a dim light, guiding the way forward, but they do not Prevent people from seeing all the details around them.

Walking in it, it is easy to feel that there are things lurking up, down, left, and right staring at you, and you may even lose your sense of direction—even if there is no fork in this corridor, just go all the way forward.

Although he has walked through it many times, Marcus still feels that something is wrong every time he passes this corridor.

He slowed down again, walking side by side with Kaios, looked at him from the corner of his eye, but saw that the count still had that calm smile on his face, and he was still very relaxed and casual.

Sensing the gaze cast by Marcus, Kaios said: "The end of this way is the 'Holy King Palace'."

Marcus said unexpectedly: "Have you been to Shengyou Palace?"

Kaios smiled: "Of course not, it's my first time visiting the Holy Capital."

"Then how do you know..."

"Guess."

Of course, Keos didn’t guess. Although he had never been to the holy capital, Shengyou Palace, he relied on the magic sense translation map of the child-mother floating formation, relied on Uller’s previous detailed investigation records, and... other methods, he I have already figured out the terrain and location of the Shengyou Palace in the Holy Capital, and even the core area of ​​the entire Holy Capital.

Marcus felt that he was pretending to be calm and didn't understand the situation, but in fact, from the moment he stepped into the holy capital, he was very excited. The finale of the last episode", "The food that took a month's salary to buy and prepared for a week in advance and then spent a whole day to make the food is finally ready to be cooked", "The game installation that has been waiting for several years and finally released It feels like you can play right after it's finished!"

To this step, he has laid the groundwork for a long time.

So now, he even has to suppress his excitement to prevent himself from running briskly.

Passing through that unbelievably long dark corridor, they have actually traversed the entire Shengyou Palace.As Keos said, he stood in front of the "Holy King Palace".

The three halls of Shengyou Palace, named after the "Three Kings" who founded the Shengyou Alliance, undertake the three important functions of Shengyou Palace, but only the Shengyou Palace in the Holy Capital has these three halls. There is no Shengyou Palace.

Moreover, the "Three Halls" of Shengyou Palace in the Holy Capital are themselves a group of buildings.

Like the Holy King Hall in front of them, there are also sub halls such as the "Holy Blessing Heart Hall", "Sacred Alchemy Hall", and "Sacred Training Hall".

Among them, the most important one should be the "Holy Blessing Heart Hall", after all, it is the place where copies of various soul subordination contracts and soul imprinted wills are stored.

Caios and Marcus are now standing on the corridor between the two buildings. After Marcus greets the punishment knight in front of the gate of the Holy King's Palace, the latter proceeds inside through a magic device on the gate. After reporting, it didn't take long for the two gates to move to both sides, driven by magical power.

Marcus continued to observe Kaios from the corner of his eye, and found that this guy was actually paying attention to the power source that drove the gate.

After the door opened, Marcus wanted to go in first, but was stopped by the punishment knight at the door: "Lord Wally only lets Baron Lee in."

Seeing that Kaios smiled at himself, he walked directly into the gate of the Holy King's Palace. Marcus narrowed his eyes and cursed inwardly:

Smile, laugh as much as you want, and see if you can still laugh later!
Behind the gate driven by the magic power of the Holy King Hall is an open-air courtyard with gardens on the left and right, and along the path in front, there is another hall.

Keos knew that this was the "Sacred Alchemy Hall", and the elders would sometimes be in this hall when dealing with matters, especially the question of the form of interrogation.

But when Kaios walked into the hall, there were no other elders inside, only an old man sitting on the top chair.

He knew that this was the "Leader" of the Holy Blessed Alliance, theoretically the most powerful person in the Holy Blessed Alliance.

It seems to be intentional. The Holy Blessed Alliance and the Holy Blessed Palace are promulgating various orders or regulations. When writing and producing various books on history or regulations, the existence of the "Leader" is rarely mentioned, so that many small Nobles and small lords can remember the names and resumes of the elders of the Presbyterian Church, but they cannot tell who the leader is.

Even when there is a change of leader, if you don't pay close attention to the regular briefings of Shengyou Palace, you may not know about it.

In previous years, the alliance leader really had no sense of presence, and basically would not have a substantive impact on any major resolutions.

And this year, Lord Wally has a strong sense of presence in Keos, and he denied his city-building plan, banned his child-mother floating formation, and communicated with him one-way through Glass to provide the Western Territory The suitable location option for building a city is now to send people to Valli City to test him, observe him, and bring him and Pender back to the holy capital to wait for disposal.

But for other lords and nobles, most of them still have no effect. Even those who know that the child-mother floating array was banned by Shengyou Palace just after it was released, most of them don't know that the ban came directly from the leader, Lord Wally.

"Count Keos, welcome to Shengyou Palace, do you know who I am?" the old man said with a warm smile.

Kaios nodded, also with a smile on his face: "You are probably Master Wally."

"Yes, I'm Wally Frederica, then, do you know why I invited you to the Holy Capital?"

"Didn't Marcus say that Lord Wally wants to hear me personally report on the plan to build a city in the west?"

Wally nodded with a smile, and said, "It really surprised me that you were able to reach a new agreement with the West Territory so quickly, and get permission to build a city in the three areas I designated."

Keos said: "The main reason is that the nine super-level investigation team of the Holy Blessing Palace suffered a setback in the Shelter Mountain, which frightened the people in the west, so in order to find a way to fight the black mist, they are willing to agree to any conditions."

"Can you tell them that building a city can fight against the black mist?"

"I just give them hope in this regard. They feel that the black mist will bring the result of the abyss. When the abyss demon god, abyss demon, and abyss monster wreak havoc on the western realm, only by defending the city can they have hope of survival. "Kios said, looking up at Wally: "You should also have heard Wusheng Glass and other surviving members of the investigation team report what they saw in the Shelter Mountain. Do you think the judgment of the people in the West is correct?"

"Is it correct? Of course it's hard to say, but in the black mist, it seems that there is an entrance to another space, and there is indeed a terrifying existence that can kill super-level powerhouses. So after figuring out the black mist, Before there is anything and how to deal with it, I tend to suspend the city construction plan of the western border." Wally said.

Kaios nodded: "Understood."

"Earl Keos seems to have a very special enthusiasm for the plan to build a city in the west?"

Keos laughed and said, "Didn't you ask Martial Saint Glass to tell me that as long as I successfully build a city in the designated area, my promotion to Marquis is almost certain, and if the hard conditions are met in the future, it is very possible to be promoted to Duke? "

"But according to my observation, Earl Keos doesn't seem to be that keen on the title? Otherwise, why hasn't there even been a super-level contracted servant?"

"In the past, I was really not very enthusiastic. After all, in Valli City, the earl is already very enough. Even if the Marquis comes over, I can't challenge my influence in Valli City. And super-level contract servants are indeed hard to come by. , like my top-level contracted servants, they were all bought from the two Marquises with favors. I don’t have that much favor, so I will ask someone to sell me the super-level contracted servants.” Kaios said, "However, I should change my mind now, and I will work hard to improve my title."

"Oh why?"

"Because I know that there are great benefits in being a Duke."

"What good do you know about the duke?" For the first time, Wally's face showed a hint of surprise.

Keos said: "The benefits after death, I know that the dukes can be sent to the holy capital before they die. The process of their death is secret. I used to think that this may be related to their huge assets and huge amount. It is related to the contracted servants of the princes, but after thinking about it, I know that it is wrong. If it is only for this reason, it will not make the dukes come to the holy capital so consciously before they die, and it will not make the marquises desire and pursue the duke so much. So I guess , Is there any way for Shengyou Palace to allow the Duke to continue to 'live' after his death, and become an 'eternal person' in some form. Therefore, the number of titles of the Duke has always been limited, so the Marquis is so eager Promote to the Duke, so after becoming a Duke, there is no motivation to improve your own entity."

"You came up with these yourself?" Wally looked at him thoughtfully and asked.

"It can be regarded as it. I didn't ask Lord Pender until I was on the way to the holy capital, but he didn't give me a clear answer." Kaios said.

"As expected of Earl Keos who can create the 'Magic Refining System', 'Magic Clothing Formation System' and 'Mother and Child Floating Formation', by the way, the 'Mother and Child Floating Formation' was recently launched over various places in the Holy Blessed Alliance ’, it must have been written by Earl Keos, right?”

As soon as Wally finished speaking, Keos knew that the entire "Holy Alchemy Hall" had entered a special domain mode, and multiple powerful forces oppressed his soul from all directions. If the words are spoken, the soul will definitely tremble and fluctuate, and the vibration will bring huge magic power fluctuation feedback.

Kaios raised his head to face Wally's gaze, and said with integrity: "Of course I didn't do it."

Obviously, Wally firmly believed that Kaios did it, even though all the evidence found by the investigators sent by the Holy Capital pointed to the Marquis of Steel Heart of Yulang City, Joey Steele.

But now after Kaios finished answering, there was no movement in the magic power feedback, which proved that Kaios was telling the truth. Could it be that he was really mistaken?

The magic circle in the Holy Alchemy Hall has many special functions for interrogation, and Wally is convinced of their effects, after all, it has been verified countless times.

But even if Kaios did not do the mother-child floating formation, it doesn't mean that Wally will let him go. There is another reason for bringing him back to the Holy Capital this time.

"Count Keos, what do you think of the soul subordination contract?" Wally asked suddenly.

"The soul subordination contract is the foundation of the Holy Blessed Alliance. It is the foundation for the Holy Blessed Alliance to maintain a large-scale peaceful and stable development for thousands of years. It is..."

"Stop, stop, Earl Keos, I'm asking for your opinion, not for you to recite the description in the book." Wally couldn't help but laugh.

"My opinion...of course it is very good!" Kaios said sincerely.

Wally looked at him: "However, in recent years, the number of contracted servants of Earl Keos has hardly increased."

"As I said before, good contracted servants are hard to come by. In my current situation, it doesn't make sense to have a bunch of contracted servants below the top level. It would be easier to add a few hundred more 'Magic Servants'. "

"Salvera, is that the name? This contracted servant is the one who defeated the contracted servant of the Marquis of Steelheart and the contracted servant of Earl Gale in Yulang City, right?"

"I didn't expect Master Wally to pay so much attention to me." Kaios smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, it is Vera."

"Is she still your contracted servant?" Wally's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

Kaios said frankly: "Of course it is."

Wally was startled and didn't speak for a few seconds.

He was sure that Salveira was no longer Caios' contracted servant, but judging from the "lie defense circle" in the Holy Alchemy Hall, Caios did not lie.

"You don't know that Salveira has canceled the soul subordination contract with you?" Wally asked in surprise.

For a moment, he even began to wonder if they had made a mistake in who they should pay attention to. Kaios Li actually didn't know anything. The real problem was the contracted servants around him.

Outside the Holy King's Hall, Marcus, who was still waiting by the gate, suddenly felt something, and looked up at the sky through the gap next to the corridor.

"Strange, why did the sky suddenly change?"

It was a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds just now, but now it is already covered with dark clouds, and the wind and rain are about to come.

And the dark cloud looked very strange, it seemed that while it was constantly thickening, it was pressing downwards, bringing him a strong sense of oppression.
