"Hidden teleportation array?"
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow.
He had experienced the Wind Leaf City's invasion by the strange creatures in his previous life, and the damaged area was even larger. He certainly knew about the destruction of the teleportation array.
Back then, players needed to go to NPCs to receive a unique token, which was then transported to the imperial city via caravans.
This not only cost a lot of gold coins but also wasted time.
He didn't expect that there was such a hidden passage in the West District?
"Yes."
Aaron stroked his chin and pondered, "This hidden teleportation array was actually built more than ten years ago for some reason. It is exclusively for royal use, and even as the city lord, I don't have the right to activate it."
"Moreover, it won't be used unless it's an emergency."
"I see..." Jiang Han frowned, "Then this news doesn't seem very useful."
"For others, of course, it's like this."
Aaron changed to a comfortable position, leaned back on the backrest, and looked at Jiang Han meaningfully, "But for you, I think it's worth a try."
"What do you mean?"
"Unspeakable, unspeakable."
Aaron waved his hand, looking profound and unpredictable, "Figure it out slowly, young man. Life isn't just about fighting and killing. Becoming stronger is important, but the scenery along the way is beautiful. Don't forget to appreciate it..."
Before Jiang Han could speak, Aaron continued, "Alright, just go and ask. If it really fails, you won't lose anything, right?"
"That makes sense."
Jiang Han thought for a while, then turned and left.
"Alas..."
After his figure disappeared into the hall, Aaron slowly got up, his expression full of emotion, "It's true that young people don't know the value of a rich woman, and mistakenly treat struggle as treasure."
"If I had this treatment, why would I go to the imperial city? I would have a wife and children and a warm bed long ago."
"This eagerness to struggle is sometimes not a good thing."
......
Jiang Han went to the Duke's mansion.
But strangely, Sophia was not at the mansion.
Even Mona and Alice were not there.
Helpless, Jiang Han had to take out the communication token and contact Sophia.
"Ye Han? What's the matter?" Sophia's voice came through.
"I'm at the Duke's mansion..."
Jiang Han quickly explained his purpose.
"I see, wait for me at the mansion for a while, I'll be there right away," Sophia said, and then cut off the communication.
In less than ten minutes, she returned with Mona and Alice, covered in dust.
She was still as noble and elegant as always, but there was a bit more urgency on her pretty face.
"You're going to the imperial city?" As soon as she saw Jiang Han, she couldn't wait to ask, her beautiful eyes flashing with unknown light, "Then will you come back?"
"Of course."
Jiang Han smiled and nodded, "My territory is in Wind Leaf City after all, and... Thor and the others are still here, I'll have to come back sooner or later."
"That's good." Sophia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"That teleportation array..." Jiang Han scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Speaking of which, although they were friends, he really didn't visit without a purpose. Almost every time he came to the Duke's mansion, it was with a purpose.
And he couldn't talk about rewards, because mentioning that would make Sophia unhappy.
"No problem."
Fortunately, Sophia didn't mind these things and agreed very readily, "Just come with me."
Soon.
Jiang Han followed Sophia to the basement.
A teleportation array that wasn't too big appeared before his eyes.
"Speaking of which... this teleportation array hasn't been used for a long time." Sophia squatted on the ground, gently stroking the patterns of the magic array, her eyes full of nostalgia.
The last time it was activated, she was still a young girl.
Now, in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
She originally thought that it would be difficult to have the opportunity to use this array in her lifetime, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
However, compared to the last time, she was not unwilling.
"By the way, Ye Han."
While activating the teleportation array, Sophia suddenly spoke, "If you have the opportunity to meet His Majesty the King in the imperial city, please say hello to him for me."
"Just say... everything is in the past."
"Okay." Jiang Han nodded.
His heart stirred, he had previously guessed that Sophia's status in the royal family was unusual, but he didn't expect that she could directly talk to the current King of the Dragon Phoenix Empire.
Buzz!
At this moment, the teleportation array was activated, and the milky white light illuminated the basement brightly.
"Alright, go in quickly, this array is only temporary, it can't be maintained for long."
Sophia stared at Jiang Han, "I believe you will also make a name for yourself in the imperial capital."
"Thank you."
Jiang Han thanked her with a serious expression, and then took a step, his figure disappearing into the teleportation array.
For a long time, the teleportation array stopped running, and the light completely went out.
Sophia stared at the teleportation array and sighed softly.
"Madam, are you just going to watch Lord Ye Han leave like this?"
Alice, who was beside her, couldn't help but speak. She spent almost every day with the person beside her, so of course she knew Sophia's thoughts very well.
"What else can I do?" Sophia said lightly.
Alice thought for a while and said, "I think with Madam's charm, even Lord Ye Han, no man in the world can resist. Madam can be more direct."
Alice's eyes were full of sincerity, and these words were not flattery.
It was no exaggeration to say that even as a woman, she was often amazed by Sophia. In her eyes, the latter was indeed the most charming woman in the world.
"You're wrong, Alice."
Sophia just shook her head, "I can feel that Ye Han is different, he doesn't have any special thoughts about me... no one knows this better than me."
"But..."
Alice pursed her lips, "You can't just continue like this. Madam, you're the one who's been working so hard to manage Lord Ye Han's business, and he doesn't even know. You don't need to work so hard. If it's for gratitude, even if Lord Ye Han didn't take action during the strange invasion, the West District wouldn't..."
"Alice!"
Sophia suddenly interrupted Alice with a serious expression, "Don't say these meaningless things. You must understand that I have a good impression of him, not that he has a good impression of me. How can love be forced?"
"You must know that people can pursue love, but life can't only be about love. There are more things worth upholding and pursuing."
"He is like this, and so am I."
"And..."
Sophia's eyes were deep, as if crossing thousands of miles, falling somewhere, "I'm like a flower rooted in a crack in the stone, I can only hold on here in this life."
"And he is destined to soar in the sky and have a broader future."
"I can't keep him..."

There is a pit in this chapter, although it is not deep, but remember to take notes (knock on the blackboard)
