Following this artificially opened mountain road in the southwest Angroda Mountains, it is the Black Swan Castle, one of the five castles in the Southern Continent.

This castle is built on the hillside of the mountain range, with an altitude of more than 500 meters. The fortress is built on the mountain. Basically, more than two-thirds of the castle area are in the hillside. However, this castle is not famous for its defense, so it wasted a lot of geographical advantages that can be called unique. However, since the castle was built, in addition to being destroyed once at Asuna's hands, the Black Swan Castle was never destroyed due to war during the Dabiang Kingdom. Later, after Sean took over, he also invested a lot of materials and manpower to renovate it many times, which finally restored the castle to its former glory.

The mountain road leading to the castle is much flatter than when Sean left before, and even a stone staircase is built to facilitate the walking of passers-by.

Sean climbed up the stairs and observed silently.

He didn't expect that after only one year of leaving, the changes in the Black Swan Castle were so big.

If the Black Swan Castle has such changes, then there is no need to think that the entire Void Principality will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.

Along the way, there were many young and powerful children in other noble costumes going down the mountain from the direction of the Black Swan Castle. These people had followers of different strengths, but they were basically at the level of the golden realm. It seemed that the holy realm had never been encountered before except for the few people in the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain and the followers of the brunette young man just now.

It's hard for Sean to believe why these guys are so honest.

According to his understanding of the regional customs of the Southern Continent, the powerful people in the Sanctuary can basically walk sideways in the Southern Continent. Apart from those old powers and empires, the Southern Continent rarely encounters legendary strong people. After all, in the two wars of underground world invasions, the Southern Continent suffered the most heavy losses, so if they want to completely recover their vitality, they cannot develop overnight.

Of course, these situations are also closely related to the general preference of people in the Southern Mainland to enjoy.

At this time, Cecilia, located in the Black Swan Castle, was running out of the study with a panic look on her face, and then hurried to the gate of the Black Swan Castle. Behind her was Diana, who seemed a little restrained, and she dared to instigate Cecilia to open the Black Swan Castle, but she was too brave to face Sean.

After the negotiations with Hassas were completed, the two of them went back to the study to discuss some overall issues. Cecilia would be responsible for these transaction bottom lines, and other details will be handled by Diana when she negotiates with Hassas. However, the discussion has not long been long before. A person from the Void Dark Blade came to report that Sean was back, and there were three young men and a child accompanying him.

Although she didn't know the identities of the other three and the child, when she heard that Sean was back, Cecilia immediately gave up all the matter and rushed to the entrance of the castle. She originally wanted to clear the site and drive away all the visitors in the castle, but looking at the time, it was almost the end of the visit, so Cecilia did not do anything extra.

But judging from Cecilia's eagerness, the Void Shadow Guards who were not on duty in the castle were naturally nervous as if they were facing a great enemy and rushed out in one go.

Diana, a step behind Cecilia, clearly distinguishes the primary and secondary.

As a figure slowly appeared on the horizon of the mountain road ahead, Cecilia's originally slightly nervous expression gradually calmed down.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a happy smile appeared on Cecilia's face. She folded her hands and placed them lightly at the hem of her clothes, and she looked elegant and calm. A breeze blew gently, curling her hair and dress. At this moment, Cecilia looked particularly dazzling in the crowd, and almost all the eyes of the audience were focused on her. They had never seen Cecilia show such a charming smile from the bottom of her heart.

Everyone followed Cecilia's gaze and looked to the end of the mountain road ahead.

Sean was slowly stepping up the stone stairs.

His vision gradually widened. When Sean's vision finally stood at the same level as the horizon, the first thing he saw was Cecilia with a smile on her face, then Diana standing behind her and the shadow of the void on both sides. Then, there was the entire Black Swan Castle that was completely renewed, and other guards standing guard on the castle walls.

All of this was in Sean's eyes.

Sean, who was originally a little uneasy, finally disappeared completely when he saw Cecilia's smile and such a neat military appearance.

When Sean completely appeared from the end of the mountain road and began to walk towards the Black Swan Castle, a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart also appeared on his face. At this moment, he truly realized what home is, and finally realized that it was such a pleasant and happy thing for someone to wait for his return at home.

Andrew looked at everything in front of him, and his mouth also raised slightly, and then his pace slowed down a little.

He was already half behind Sean after a few steps.

Bass seemed to have a silent tacit understanding with Andrew. Because the speed of him and Andrew was actually the same. However, the one behind him was slightly behind Andrew, which was completely behind Sean. Only Encos looked stupid, but after Bass pulled his sleeve and signaled with his eyes, Encos realized that he was in the same position as Bass.

As for Koujile, his child's appearance at this time was a very good disguise. He pulled a corner of Sean's clothes, followed behind Sean with a confused and curious look on his face, and was looking around carefully. Of course, behind his curiosity and confusion, he was not full of curiosity, but a kind of *****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

As Sean gradually approached, without Cecilia's reminder, all the Void Shadow Guards reappeared the impact shield in their hands to the ground.

The sound of six or seventy-faced shocking shields hitting the ground made a loud roar like an earthquake and a strong vibration. This neat and consistent tacit understanding and concert immediately made all the nobles who stayed here feel a sense of shock: at this moment, the strong momentum emitted by these Void Shadow Guards made them feel that their hearts were held by an invisible giant hand, and they would be completely crushed with just a little force.

Everyone looked at Sean with horror, and they had already begun to guess the identity of the young man.

Of course, more people have already had some answers in their hearts when they see this scene in front of them. However, before it is confirmed by themselves, many people still cannot believe it, or they are subconsciously unwilling to believe the young man in front of them, the one in the rumor is just as no one is willing to admit that he is not as good as another peer, especially these arrogant and arrogant noble children.

But whether they will admit it, or have any other ideas, it is irrelevant to Sean.

His steps were always as firm as ever, and he did not show any other expressions because of the fallen shield of the Void Shadow Guard.

There is neither pride nor pride, nor even pride.

Only calm.

It seems that all this is so for granted.

Then, as Sean slowly approached, when he began to approach the guards standing on both sides, the two guards on the left and right began to kneel down on one knee. As Sean moved forward, all the guards began to kneel down one knee in front of Sean one by one. They did not pull out the knight sword tied to their waists, but the guards holding the tower shield in their left hand and the spear in their right hand all lowered their heads.

Andrew stopped when he was still two steps closer to the guards.

He knew that these people were kneeling down so solemnly to their kingdom, not to him. No matter how powerful his strength was, he could easily influence the life and death of a kingdom in every move, but he still did not follow Sean. This was not that he believed that he was not worth Sean, but to respect Sean, his achievements and this glory that belonged only to him.

Beth and Encos, both of them, also stood behind Andrew, quietly staring at everything in front of them.

As Sean got closer and closer to Cecilia, the guards, who seemed to have been rehearsing countless times, began to speed up their kneeling down. Soon they no longer maintained that when Sean approached two positions, they began to kneel down, but began to speed up to three positions, four positions, and even more positions.

When Sean walked three steps away from Cecilia, all the Void Shadow Guards on both sides finally fell to one knee. Then all the guards standing guard on the city wall, and they all fell to one knee at this time, followed by the guards on the sentry tower, and then the guards in other places in the castle were like the transmission of beacon towers, one ring after another. Whether they could see Sean or not, whether Sean could see them, they all knelt on one knee at this time.

To their king, they convey their respect, their faith, their glory.

This glory belongs not only to Sean, but also to them.

"Welcome the Grand Duke back."

A sound like thunder, accompanied by extremely strong cheers and excitement, echoed throughout the Black Swan Castle.

Cecilia took a step forward, shortening the distance between herself and Sean to only two steps left, and then looked at Sean with a smile: "Welcome back."
