[Essence identification begins, soul verification is in progress, and certification is completed]

In the gray space, the characters suspended in front of Huai Shi gradually changed, and finally turned into the emblem of the heavenly genealogy.

Even, a belated greeting——

——[Welcome to London, Your Excellency Huai Shi]

At that moment, outside the border, the layer of gray that blocked the eyes like a curtain was lifted, revealing the only passage, right in front of Huai Shi.

Cold rain fell from the sky.

Amidst the sound of rain, the hustle and bustle of the past could no longer be heard in the desolate city, and the station, which was once bustling with people, fell into silence and became empty.

Only a few tired staff members remained at their posts.

The leader who had been waiting at the entrance for a while held his chest and saluted: "Mr. Huai Shi, I am the secretary who was in contact with your assistant before. Welcome to London."

"Hello, I am Huai Shi."

Huaishi calmly stretched out her hands to hold each other.

"Are you the only one?" The secretary looked behind him, slightly confused: "Are there no other entourages?"

"In this special season, there are many affairs, and everyone is very busy." Huai Shi regretfully spread her hands: "I am the only one who is temporarily free. Don't worry, the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy has a station in London, and there will be civil servants to cooperate when the time comes.

My... if they are busy enough."

The secretary's expression twitched slightly, and he smiled helplessly. He didn't know whether he admired this unabashed sincerity, or felt the same busyness and exhaustion.

"The car is ready, please come with me."

He walked ahead and led the way.

A car had already driven out of the rain and stopped in front of the hall.

It drove them silently into the gray city in the rain. On both sides of the road, you could still see a few open shops, but basically there were no customers.

Only the teller leaned on his chair, blowing on the heater and yawning.

It is completely different from the prosperous appearance I saw before.

"It wasn't that dilapidated last time I came here." Huai Shi sighed softly.

"The reconstruction work has just begun. I'm afraid it will take a year or two to restore the old outlook," the secretary said.

"How long will it rain?"

"It will continue until tonight, and I'm afraid it will continue tomorrow."

The secretary replied: "The Environmental Management Bureau said that there are still too many deep sedimentation residues. Now that we have started to clean up, it is best to clean up more quickly. The initial rainfall phase will last for about two weeks, and outdoor operations during this period will be very troublesome."

He shrugged his shoulders and responded to Huai Shi's humor just now, "The only good news is that there are enough umbrellas."

"Yes, at least there is an umbrella. Huai Shi nodded.

Leaning on the chair, looking out at the city outside the window, the silent city seemed to be sleeping on the bed like a patient, breathing silently. Everything was shrouded in rain and dark clouds.

During the break between rain and strong wind, you can see the layers of dark clouds passing through the sky.

Even above the dark clouds... there are traces hidden behind the celestial phenomena.

That one, huge crack.

Like a broken glass ball, winding cracks crawl across the sky, like unhealed wounds, breaking the current blue sky.

And through the refraction of the fault, you can see the surging dark abyss.

The darkness has not gone away.

Step by step towards them with dancing steps.

This is the third day after the end of the War of All Realms. The whole realm meeting was held in London. It was so urgent and tense.

Even though it was expected, it was still caught off guard.

After the war ended as expected, the remaining status quo was so bad that even if it was only

Just looking at the decaying ruins and chaos in front of us almost makes people lose the courage to face tomorrow.

The reason why the meeting was held so intensely was not to celebrate victory or share the fruits.

Rather, we discuss the survival of the present situation tomorrow.

This is the first thing Huaishi faced when he became the master of the heavenly lineage.

There is no expected beautiful era with flowers and brocade cooking in flames, but only a devastated mess and an unprecedentedly bad situation.

Every time I had a headache and was anxious, I seemed to be able to hear that old guy Russell laughing happily at his misfortune.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance from the past time, he felt proud.

"What about the promise that the tool man will not harm the tool man?"

Huai Shi sighed helplessly, shook his head, and closed his eyes.

Until the car stopped in front of the hotel.

Along the way, the level of security I saw was extremely tight.

Since the last Rainbow Bridge attack, the suppression of the Grand Mysteries has been completely cancelled, but has been replaced by an almost outrageous level of surveillance in public places.

The secretary next to him seemed to have come out of his brief trance, shook his head slightly, regained his energy, opened the car door for him, and was about to say something, but Huai Shi pointed to a few people waiting in the lobby not far away.

Civilians of the Kingdom Lineage.

"Don't bother with the rest."

He said, "Just give me the room key and schedule, and go do the rest of the work first."

The secretary smiled gratefully and helped Huai Shi complete the check-in and registration with the usual fast efficiency. After connecting with his temporary secretary, he hurried to the station again.

"This is a speech written according to your wishes. You can familiarize yourself with it in advance. Here are some suggestions given by Mr. Isaac, and here are some precautions.

Now you can take a rest in your suite. Later at lunch time, I have made arrangements on my own initiative. There are a few friends of Mr. Russell who are eager to meet you. I mean, the real kind of friends-

—"

The London assistant who had served Russell for decades had already arranged everything in an orderly manner, and all documents and procedures had been processed.

"Thank you for your hard work." Huai Shi thanked her sincerely.

"It's your job."

The slightly older assistant smiled slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, there was a knock on the door outside the suite.

The assistant frowned slightly, but soon he heard Huai Shi's voice: "Don't be nervous, I'm just a visitor."

The assistant nodded in understanding: "Then go down and prepare tea."

The visitor did not conceal his breath or footsteps, nor could he have any hostility. On this floor, which was specially reserved for the masters of the major lineages, there were only a few people who could visit at will.

And I'm afraid not many people will come to see me at this juncture.

After the door opened, I saw that familiar face smiling.

"Mr. Huaishi, long time no see."

Huai Shi nodded and smiled equally sincerely: "Please come in, Your Excellency Xuanniiao."

There are no redundant politeness or procedures. Whether it is the cooperation between the Tianguo Genealogy and the Eastern Xia Genealogy, or the friendship between Huaishi and Xuanniao, these red tapes are enough to be skipped.

After the guests sat on the sofa, the assistant had served them tea and snacks, and then thoughtfully closed the door for them.

Huai Shi spoke straightforwardly and asked expectantly: "You came to visit me. Do you have any good news for me?"

"..."

Seeing that slightly joking smile, Xuanniao's eyes couldn't help but start to twitch: The people have obviously changed, why is this bastard still so familiar?

"There's no good news, there's a lot of bad news." Xuanniao said, "Otherwise I'm so old, why don't I just sit in my room and wait for you to come to my door?"

"Didn't I just arrive?" Huai Shi spread her hands.

"I didn't expect that in just a few days

With so much time, everything became so fast.”

Xuanniao sighed softly, looked at his appearance, and suddenly asked: "How is your condition?"

At this moment, any ascendant can see how weak the famous Sword of Disaster, the master of the heavenly lineage, really is.
