That morning, Ye Li had no more snowflake stones. Just when he was about to get some demon pills to practice, Baron Mars and Wesley came to his residence together.
"Ye Li, we are ready to set off. I have already reported the matter of the Black Eyed King's treasure to the family truthfully. The family has accepted me as a core member again. I am no longer a marginal figure.
I will let Wesley take you back to the imperial capital, where the head of my Axi family, my uncle, the Duke of Wellington Axi, will meet you in person."
Baron Mars said to Ye Li excitedly that being able to become a core member of the family again made him feel happy.
Ye Li glanced at Baron Mars, then at Wesley beside him. He had no aversion to going to the capital of the Frant Empire, because he had discovered that if he stayed in Baron Mars' fiefdom, he would probably never be able to go to the southwest coast in his entire life.
If he wanted to have the opportunity to go to such a remote place, he must first figure out the route he had taken and then determine what kind of obstacles he would encounter along the way.
He must find ways to overcome these obstacles.
All of this depends on one prerequisite, which is sufficiently detailed intelligence.
Baron Mars' rank here is relatively low. He simply cannot get enough information if he stays here, and he is completely in the dark if he wants to go to the southwest.
Ye Li has figured out one thing. Since the Yaxi family is one of the three major families in the Farant Empire, when he goes to the imperial capital, he will be able to learn some useful information from the Yaxi family.
Of course, even if he couldn't get any information from the Yaxi family, he believed that as a core town of an empire, he would definitely be able to find what he needed.
Ye Li has been in the Miracle Continent for quite some time now, and he has gained a lot of understanding of the culture and customs of this continent.
He knew that there were three strongest empires on this continent: the Farant Empire, the Ikasi Empire, and the Jinde Empire.
The strength of the Farant Empire is similar to that of the Ikasi Empire, but the two combined can barely compete with the Jinde Empire. There have been some changes recently. The Jinde Empire has become stronger and seems to have plans to invade the two countries.
In addition to the three major empires, there are several small countries around them. These small countries are located in some marginal areas, where the three major empires are unwilling to control, and their strength is relatively weak.
This was the first time Ye Li heard of the concept of empire. After learning about it, Ye Li couldn't help but use some forces from his own continent for comparison.
The empire actually has certain similarities with the sects, but the power is much more concentrated than in the sects, and the scale is much larger.
An empire consists of a number of towns and regions, and the people in them are called citizens of the empire.
The divine masters and war masters here are either mercenaries or soldiers. There are also independent practitioners, but compared to the other continent across the sea, their number is pitifully small.
Ordinary people here can also practice, and generally as long as they can feel the spiritual energy, they are qualified.
Just like Ye Li's side, not everyone on this continent can awaken the sea of consciousness and the natal talisman. However, there is something called the God-summoning Stone, which can forcibly dig a hole in the closed sea of consciousness.
With such a hole, even ordinary people can awaken the power of spiritual consciousness and use attribute spiritual energy.
Afterwards, those who normally awaken the sea of spiritual consciousness and natal talismans will become spiritual masters, while others who forcibly open the sea of spiritual consciousness will become combat spiritual masters.
Ye Li and Wesley chatted while riding on their horses while hurrying on their way. Wesley said, "Ye Li, the imperial capital is a bit far from us. It may be a bit difficult along the way."
After hearing what Wesley said, Ye Li knew that the other party thought he was a young man who had left home for the first time, but in fact he didn't know that he was already a veteran who had been in the world for who knows how many years.
"It's okay, Captain. I don't care about that."
Hearing Ye Li's answer, Wesley nodded and said, "By the way, Ye Li, where are you from?"
Wesley didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and asked Ye Li.
Ye Li had already thought of an excuse for this question, and said, "I am from the Black Forest. My father and I lived there until he passed away."
Ye Li has read a lot of books these days and has a certain understanding of the geography and culture of the Miracle Continent, which also makes it easier for him to fabricate his own identity.
After hearing Ye Li's words, Wesley did not doubt him, but said with a look of understanding: "In fact, I have more or less guessed that you are from the Black Forest. After all, that is where your Black Eyed Clan lives in seclusion. Many Black Eyed Clan members live in the Black Forest and lead a peaceful life.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, that kind of life should be pretty good.”
Hearing Wesley’s words, Ye Li was stunned and said, “Captain, don’t you like to venture out
Are you going to marry Lena? I heard Wilson say that before. If you go to the imperial capital by yourself now, what will happen to her?"
Wesley smiled and said, “I really don’t like to go out and explore. When I was a kid, I also thought about going out and exploring, becoming a master, and then accidentally saving a beauty, spending the rest of my life with her, and leaving a legend on the continent.
But the reality is that I was saved by a girl, and finally I wanted to choose a quiet life in a corner. I no longer wanted to be a hero or a legend, I just wanted to live a simple life. "
Ye Li didn't expect Wesley to tell him these suddenly. It sounded like Wesley had some story.
"Did Lena save you?"
Ye Li asked curiously.
Wesley smiled and said, "Yes, she saved me, brought me out of the abyss of despair, and made me love my life again.
I am only going to the capital to be separated from her for a short time. After a while, when I have established myself there, I will bring her over. I don't feel comfortable with her fighting in the special forces alone."
Ye Li heard what Wesley said and asked, "Captain, did something happen to you in the past? How did you experience the abyss of despair?"
Wesley was silent for a moment after hearing Ye Li's question. Just when Ye Li was about to retract his question, he suddenly smiled and shook his head, saying, "Actually, there's nothing that can't be said. You'll hear about it sooner or later when you go to the imperial capital anyway.
You don't have to call me captain anymore. I'm no longer the captain of the special operations team, and you're no longer a member of the special operations team. The special operations team has been handed over to Wilson to lead. Although that guy is a little weaker, he has a pretty good brain."
