Chapter Ninety-Nine: The King and the Thief
As shown by the stone gate of the main hall, which is about three feet high, the main color of the main hall is pure white. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The columns, which are strictly dimensionally carved with elaborate reliefs, are arranged in six columns like strict guards, each requiring six adults to hug each other.
The columns that reach the dome are five feet high, and the dome is made of transparent glazed material. Through the owner's adjustment, daylight can render the hall in a variety of colorful colors, and can also make the hall as bright and transparent as the outside.
Generally speaking, Emmanuel prefers the latter, and that aesthetic is probably due to his rigorous personality.
At this moment, a man as majestic as a warrior was reclining on the throne of the nine-story jade steps. Although he was as tall and mighty as a warrior as always, his mental state was relaxed and tired.
Those who know him well will find it strange, because this is not the usual style of this strict king.
On the side of the main hall, a beautiful piano comes with a melodious melody. Emmanuel squinted slightly, his left hand on the armrest of the throne beating to the melody, looking like some middle-aged uncle caught in the memories of his youth.
A gentle smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, a rare thing for a lord who had always been unsmiling.
However, he didn't care about his occasional outrageous behavior, because no matter how strong and serious a man is, there is a soft corner in his heart. And that corner is usually reserved for a woman who can't be replaced.
For example, the woman in front of her, who is still as delicate as a budding flower after thousands of years.
This woman is like a kaolin flower, and she can't be approached by anyone.
At the end of the song, Emmanuel applauded softly.
In fact, he is not a man with many artistic cells. How a piece of music is, as strong as Emmanuel, can only be seen lively, but this does not prevent him from making the most correct decision at this moment.
"It's perfect!" he said, standing up and applauding, "and you are the only one I have ever seen in my life who can perform this piece of music by His Majesty Eleni so beautifully!"
"Perhaps. The pleasant voice was as cold as ever, and Sylvia, dressed in red gauze, sat like a white peony, "But I'm not here to borrow Eleni's piano to play a tune. ”
Emmanuel nodded, and he slowly paced down the nine-story jade steps.
"Of course, I know why you're here. His face was still tired, but his voice was calm and confident, "It's because of Edwin. K. Ravensteft: Right? Obviously, the junior was on the verge of public outrage. ”
"Confuse the line of fate at will, so that the immortal cannot trace the slightest trace of fate. Emmanuel shook his head, "This arrogant trampling of the Steian instruments is nothing short of a declaration of war against the gods. ”
Sylvia nodded, "I don't think he's just declaring war on the gods, in fact I'm deeply troubled by his rudeness. ”
"But I don't understand. She stroked the keys with her left hand, "Why would he do that?"
"You really don't understand?" said Emmanuel, stunned.
He shook his head when he saw this beautiful woman who was as cold as a plum.
"It seems that you, the leader of the Alliance, are not really being taken seriously by the guys of the old days, or maybe you are paying so much attention to Charlotte that you are ignoring small but important information. ”
Emmanuel stood in front of the stone platform at the foot of the jade steps, where there was a multicolored ball suspended in mid-air. He lightly placed his hand on the orb, and in an instant, the entire city of arcane magic appeared on it.
It was the control center of the Arcane City. In other words, the entire City of Arcane Law is a giant mage tower.
"Go on. Sylvia urged coldly.
"Back when you were trapped in the Endless Corridor, that Abraham guy infiltrated Fort Sava. Emmanuel didn't sell him, "It's just that he was sent to Lucerne by Lawrence after you got out of trouble." ”
Sylvia tapped her moist lips with her index finger, and those who knew her well knew that it was a sign of her thinking, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, from the very beginning, I didn't expect the so-called leader of the alliance. ”
"I'm glad you always look at everything so sanely. Emmanuel smiled mockingly, "As you say, none of those old guys from the old days are convinced. Especially the eagle dog, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to think that he is loyal to someone other than the teacher. ”
"But what is the connection between Abraham and Edwin's confusing fate line?"
"Charlotte has a sibling brother, Evan, right?" asked Emmanuel.
Sylvia nodded, she vaguely remembered the gentlemanly and gentle young man.
"He was a disciple of Edwin. Emmanuel smiled at Sylvia's expression expectantly.
But it was clear that he was disappointed.
Sylvia's expression was as calm as ever, as unchanged as the surface of a frozen lake.
"Aren't you surprised?" Emanuel sighed in disappointment, but he quickly reacted, "Well, I seem to have asked a stupid question. ”
"Evan has a problem?" the ice-smart Sylvia instantly sensed the crux of the problem, "If Edwin is confusing the fate line for Aven, it means that Evan may have done something." That matter was serious enough to attract the attention of many immortals. ”
"Ah, you seem to be aware!" said Emmanuel, with a serious expression.
"Edwin thinks Evan could be Lusen. Sylvia stood up from her piano chair, "And it may have been Evan who had made me feel in a trance and reset time and space." ”
"No, it's not. But she quickly dismissed her conjectures, "In the Endless Corridor, Charlotte's performance was almost flawless. If he hadn't reset planes, I would never have believed that a mere 12-year-old could pass my test so perfectly. ”
"That's what bothers me. Emmanuel rubbed his brow in annoyance, "Sylvia, you can almost always think calmly about anything. As a comrade-in-arms, I absolutely trust your judgment. ”
"But it's the same. Emmanuel frowned in confusion, "As the Lord of the Stars, Edwin's prophetic abilities are unmatched. His judgment also made me very concerned. ”
"If our guess is correct, then where is Edwin, and what is his motive for protecting Mr. Lusen?" Sylvia remained expressionless, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
But Emmanuel, who knows her character well, knows that being able to ask Sylvia questions again and again proves that she takes this matter very seriously in her heart.
But Emmanuel was equally powerless about her question, "I don't know. That cunning junior hid all the information about Sky City and hid in some unknown corner of the multiverse. Finding the location of the Star Lord is an almost unsolvable puzzle. ”
"He's playing with fire. Sylvia said her thoughts, "Whatever he wants to hide, at least his actions have caught the attention of many immortals like candles in the night." Once the discontent of the gods reaches a certain level, once he is detected, a great war will be inevitable. ”
"You're right!" Emanuel nodded, smirking sarcastically, "but he had to." Because if our guess is correct, once he doesn't confuse the line of fate, sooner or later the gods will sense that the world line has changed, and their eyes will be the first to look at the Claydermans. ”
He spread his hands, "I don't know what that junior thinks about the teacher he has never met, and why he would help the teacher confuse the world at such a cost." But I have to say, he did us a big favor!"
"He's done a great job of drawing firepower for us!" Emanuel clutched the arcane city projected from the magic ball in his hand.
"But sooner or later, winter is coming. Sylvia asserted.
"You're right!" Emanuel stretched his palms flat, and the illusory city slowly swirled in his hands, "so we need to be well prepared for that day." ”
"Before winter comes, we need to determine who is the real teacher and who is the vile thief. He looked at the virtual city with a solemn expression, "If we get the wrong object and sacrifice the teacher's soul to the thief, then it is really unknown whether the teacher will be able to return to the throne." ”
"Of course!" Emmanuel smiled slightly, "I wish Charlotte was the real teacher! ”
Sylvia was silent for a while, and asked softly, "...... But what if he's not?"
