"You're going to the Holy City?"

King Riemann still had a smile on his face, but the raised curve was no longer as natural as before.

In the past, when a family recommended themselves, he warmly welcomed them.

But a talent like Li Tianxiu is really reluctant to let him go to the Holy City King.

After all, if the whole country is not in chaos, it does not mean there are no foreign enemies.

Now that the Gareth family is gone, it is necessary to re-split the army and send her to the frontier, and put her into the army, which will be of great benefit to the empire.

"Going to the Holy City is the dream of every Oman people, and I also want to spy on the legendary realm." Li Tianxiu replied seriously with his face.

It's like he is unaware of the inside story of baptism.

"Okay, the courage is commendable!"

The king thought secretly for two seconds and praised happily: "Okay, I will approve you in advance so that you will be the chosen one and go to the Holy City in two days!"

"Um?"

Li Tianxiu was a little surprised, but bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Objectively, the king should keep him for a while and create an opportunity for a separate conversation.

Could it be that the king is still biased towards his identity?

This doubt was resolved after Li Tianxiu returned to the background.

He was summoned by the king.

...

After announcing the disposal of the Gasray family and the money obtained from the house search, the ceremony of the ban and award was finally coming to an end.

Li Tianxiu left the venue early and came to the king's conference room alone.

A long table is placed in the center of the conference room, and the map of Oman Continent is spread on it.

A maid in her early teens was working hard inside. When she saw someone coming, she skillfully served pastries and wine.

"Thanks."

He thanked the maid in habit, and the latter retreated in surprise.

Li Tianxiu touched the collection here everywhere, turned around and grabbed a piece of pastry, and looked at the map on the table.

The territory of the Oman Empire was in the shape of a boot, separated by three colors of colored pen lines from the inside to the outside, and was divided into yellow, red and black according to the threat level.

A white line extends out from the capital and draws all the way to the place called the Holy City.

Apart from this, there is no other country.

The foreign enemies mentioned earlier are not humans, but a group of monsters similar to White Walkers.

The land there is cursed, and dead creatures will mutate and attack all living creatures encountered.

Therefore, the empire needs to send people to guard the border for a long time and regularly clean up nearby wilderness.

"Quiet Tree."

Soon after, the king's voice rang at the door.

Turning his head, he had taken off the exaggerated cloak and came up with a smile.

"Is this old pervert trying to sneak into me, right?"

Such a friendly smile made Li Tianxiu have strange thoughts.

"Don't be so reserved."

The king walked to the opposite side of Li Tianxiu, looked down at the map on the table, and looked at him again: "You should also have some understanding of the situation in the empire."

"No."

Li Tianxiu shook his head and said, "I only focus on practicing sword skills with my teacher on weekdays, and I can't understand much about these."

"Haha, no wonder, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to practice such a good swordsmanship."

The king was not angry, but sat down and asked, "What do you think of the accusation against Shaya?"

"Accusation?"

Li Tianxiu pretends to be stupid.

The king actually needs to carry his own power forward and use any means to achieve his goal.

So they are not credible.

"What do you think about the baptism of the Holy City?" asked the king.

"oh……"

Li Tianxiu pretended to be skating and said, "I believe that Xia Ya's journey to the Holy City is long and difficult, and many people will die.

But... under the teacher's disciple, my performance has never been satisfactory to him.

So I have no objection to his decision.

I want to go to the Holy City!

Only by passing the trials of the secret church can I be recognized by my teacher!”

Lin Jingshu is very talented, so high that he can go to the Holy City instead of Reinhardt's heir.

So her adopted daughter was probably trained as a victim since childhood.

To avoid unnecessary feelings, Reinhardt will not feel real about her.

But even so, Lin Jingshu is still not arrogant or impatient when practicing swords, and is extremely respectful to his teacher.

Compared with this, Li Tianxiu's remarks made the king feel a little sympathy.

"Poor child..."

The king shook his head, drew the red dividing line on the table with his fingers, slowly extending outwards for three centimeters, and slowly drawing a circle: "Do you know? Ten years ago, this map was not like this, our border should be here."

"here?"

Li Tianxiu frowned.

Three centimeters are not long, but the whole map is only 1.6 meters long, and the length of the Oman Empire is about 30 centimeters.

According to the scale, the area of ​​the empire should not be too much if it shrinks.

"The evil land is spreading, and if we cannot find a cure, our empire will one day perish."

The king's expression suddenly became melancholy, and the wrinkles beside the corners of his eyebrows squeezed into pieces, saying, "So Xia is right, the baptism of the Holy City is a scam.

Except for some who can become secret envoys, I don’t know how the other people who go to the Holy City will end up.

All supreme laws and the mystery of eternal life are false.”

"Since it's fake, why don't you still..." Li Tianxiu frowned.

“This is the price of maintaining peace.”

The king sighed and said, "Do you know?

Going to the Holy City requires three thousand kilometers of wasteland. If a large army passes through it, it may be more than half of it.

But on the way to the Holy City, the dead will not attack the baptized troops."

"Is the evil land caused by the secret religion?" Li Tianxiu frowned.

All conspiracies to transfer to the church are too old-fashioned.

"This is not the case. The evil land appeared before the Tantric Buddhism. But only by baptism can it not cause a tide of beasts.

I said that, you probably understand, right?" the king explained.

"I see."

Li Tianxiu nodded.

The mainland plate is so large that the area of ​​evil land accounts for 80%. The active evil land beasts are probably not tens of millions.

What's even more terrible is that the corpses of these evil beasts will pollute the clean land, and even if the people of the Oman Empire can take over, their descendants will not be able to withstand it.

Just like those countries that have died.

As a king, Riemann must have his own people responsible.

"Elden believed that this was related to the Secretology, so he proposed to conquer the holy city and find out the secret of controlling the evil land, but I did not agree.

Unexpectedly…”

Upon receiving this, the king breathed a sigh of relief and felt very sad about it.

"In other words, every family knows about this?" Li Tian raised his eyebrows.

He thought that Eldon's rebellion was anger expressed after discovering the truth.

But if the king told them the matter at the beginning, the nature would be different.

No wonder most of the nobles present were descendants who were invincible.
