As he said this, Arnold's heart was thinking about what his grandfather had just said to him.

"Oh, aren't you going to go?" asked the old man with his eyelids open, and asked without emotion.

"Isn't there a grand ceremony...... I think maybe that's more important. "Strange to say, in fact, Arnold would not have been so restrained, but under the influence of some problems, he couldn't let go of his favorite great-ancestor here.

The old man nodded, as if he had suddenly realized, and did not say anything.

After saying this, Arnold was told that he could leave, and then Xuanzu was pushed away by the council, looking no different than usual.

But Arnold didn't know why, and felt that this matter should not be so simple.

After returning to the room and talking with Simon for a while, he said that he could still give him some people, after all, the west of the city is not small.

"How could he go to the west of the city, where the prosperous land is too far away. Simon accompanied Arnold out of the manor, and he didn't understand why Muen had run to that place.

Arnold was silent, and Simon didn't expect him to give a reason, so the two fell silent.

Since the young man from the Sleeping Lake family was the most favored in the family, he was sure that when he often had the opportunity to come to Vic Province, he had already engraved the map of the provincial capital in his heart, and he thought about it in his heart, and there was also a little uneasiness in his heart.

Suddenly, this is not something Mu En can do, which shows that something may really have happened to him......

At the moment of parting, Arnold instructed the steward to give Simon a few fast horses, and gave him eight people, all of whom were his own guards, and the lowest was at least the rank of a magician, and the female officer was also among them as the squad leader.

"I think these people should be able to cope with the danger that may arise, but you still have to be safe. Arnold may not really think of the troubadour that much, but at least because the troubadour is a friend for whom Muen is willing to argue, his words are very polite.

There is a cliché among the aristocratic elders of Atlantis that whether a person is an adult or not is not determined by whether he has reached the age prescribed by law, but whether he can choose the one that is most beneficial to him among many choices, and a good person never does things for a simple goal, and even the simplest decision he makes has multiple meanings.

This is almost already the accepted law of the "big guys", if you can only think of one of the benefits of doing one thing, then his achievements will definitely not be able to be taken away, there are too many conspiracy traps that taste sweet at first.

I can do no harm, but my decision must have many benefits, not just for simple gain, but also for the sake of my own ability. And ability is what the nobles value the most.

The bloodlines are just to control the foolish people who don't know it. Of course, they will also be careful not to let too many people understand this, otherwise the talent is not expensive, and they will not have so much energy to manage, and when the ability is to a certain extent plus a little luck, it will divide their rights.

This is also why the saints in history who established themselves on the path of universal life were actually those who dared to weaken their authority and enclose the land to imprison themselves.

Decision-makers' hobbies or preferences will never influence the decision, and they will do the things they hate, just for the ultimate purpose in their hearts.

Simon didn't have so many complicated thoughts, he just bowed his head and solemnly thanked the young man in front of him, then turned over and whipped away.

Arnold got into the carriage, but he didn't leave for a long time, he was still reviewing the decisions he had just made, dealing with personnel, experience was the most important asset, he was still young, so he always had to analyze and understand it carefully.

The greatest tenderness in the world for young people is to allow them time to repent of the less serious mistakes they have made.

He may not look down on the bard, but he certainly doesn't look down on him. The side of all people's hearts is like the part that is illuminated by the sun, but the other side is not non-existent, so people are often complex and will make many contradictory choices and appear many faces in many situations. Don't make directional biases, and don't be guided by hints.

He picked up the curtains, looked out the window at Simon's distant figure, and ignored the coachman's urging to go.

As we traveled westward, the surrounding scenery gradually became monotonous, and the houses began to become sparse and decorated with less luxurious decorations.

Suddenly Simon stopped, and he looked at the young man with the family crest of the Mianhu family pinned to the side of the road in surprise.

The dress Nanchuan is also difficult to take off, so it looks like he is not very convenient to move, and the waist and legs make it impossible for him to make too many movements.

"You ......" Simon didn't understand how Arnold could have come faster than he did.

"Fuck the ceremony. Arnold smiled at him, and then Spotted apologized.

"The west of the city is too far away from the Colosseum for him to run so far, I wanted to pretend I didn't know, but if something really happened to him, I couldn't lie to myself. ”

Simon looked happy, and anyway, it was a sentiment. People don't necessarily have to help themselves, and they still run the risk of angering the elders of the family, this kind of charcoal in the snow is undoubtedly the most heartwarming, especially when the charcoal fire is likely to burn the charcoal sender.

Arnold beckoned the female officer to follow him, and then let the three people behind him join the team and split into five groups to search, characterized by a young man with long pale blond hair and a cute face.

After arranging, he naturally sat down behind the female officer, and said to Simon, "Let them look here, and we'll go down." ”

"Are you...... How did it come so quickly. ”

"I've brought a magister, he'll be in charge of the search later, so we'll have to go out of the city to a place that isn't shown on the map. ”

"Didn't the old man say that it would be in the most unbelievable place? I think it is very likely to be inside the city, after all, if it is outside the city, it is not a sudden thought. ”

"The most unlikely place. They will search all the houses here, but I think it is more likely to be outside the city, because I know that although it is said to be outside the city, the boundary is still counted in the provincial capital, so that means there is a blank in the map, and I know that there is something there, but I don't know what it is. ”

"Let's hope we get a little luckier. Simon sighed and decided to listen to Arnold, it was really unreliable to speak without a loop.

At this time, it happened to be on the other side, when Mu En had just woken up from prison.

And when the quicksand moved, Mu En felt in the interrogation room that he was about to be strangled to death by the person in front of him, just when he felt that he was completely suffocated and about to lose consciousness, he suddenly felt his body falling in a trance, and the only little bit of consciousness that helped him judge that it might be that the other party let go of his hand, as if someone was shouting, but he could only hear a buzzing sound in his head, and his knees were kneeling heavily on the ground, which should be very painful, but the nerves were already difficult to respond due to lack of oxygen, and he just felt a simple compression.

He was about to fall straight to the ground in two steps, and both hands took him around and took him in his arms.

The vision was too blurry, as if sleepy, but I saw black and white, black should be hair, white should be skin.

Mu En didn't know who hugged him, but he felt that it should be softer than the hard ground, so he fell asleep like this, and in the last second before consciousness disappeared, his body seemed to ease up a little, and he could barely distinguish who the other party was calling his name, but he couldn't tell who it was, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a man or a woman, he could barely recognize the tone of his name in the tinnitus.

When he woke up, he was already lying in bed, looking at the rooftop as if he had been staying in a hotel for nearly a week, which couldn't help but make him feel very reassured, and then after a short blur, memories flooded into his mind, and the unreal feeling made him think he was dreaming.

"Simon!" he shouted.

"Are you awake, sir?" said Simon's voice with a hint of surprise.

"I just felt like I had a nightmare. ”

"What did you dream about?"

"Somebody was beating me up, pinning me against the wall and making it hard for me to breathe, and it felt so real that I still feel a little scared. ”

Mu En wanted to get up, but found that he was in pain all over his body, and couldn't help but snort a few times.

"My lord, it's late, Young Master Arnold has already come to urge, if you feel unwell, I will help you refuse. ”

"No, since I agreed, I will try to go to the appointment, otherwise it will damage my reputation, but why do I feel so much pain in my body?" Mu En sat up, trying to flip through his own memories, and found that it seemed that the story in the dream was quite complete.

"What outfit are you going to wear?" was thinking as Simon's voice came from there.

"Feel free, just be formal, by the way, you move the mirror directly here, I'm too lazy to move. ”

After a while, Mu En's clothes were already in his hand, he looked at himself in the mirror, there was no red and swollen wound on his body, no bruises on his throat, and it seemed that his discomfort was like the sensory inertia generated by his nerves after having a dream that was too real.

"How do I remember that I was taken away, Simon, you said the memory of my beating can't be true, right?"

"How is it possible, your identity is directly won without a fight. ”

"If that's the case, I have a very complete set of memories out of thin air. Could it be that I started dreaming when I was taken away, so when did I go to sleep?"

Simon was behind the door to prevent Mu En from being gone, so he leaned lazily against the door and replied with a smile: "No, you were indeed captured, you were sleeping when we arrived, as for the dream, it may be that it was too bumpy on the carriage, so there was some reaction in the dream." ”

Mu En hummed absentmindedly, it seemed that he still had palpitations, and walked out of the room after ten minutes.

At this time, the loud knock on the door happened to sound, and the sound of knocking made people feel that the other party didn't want to knock on the door or wanted to tear it down. Arnold's voice rang out from outside the door as there was a knock on the door.

"You won't wake up yet, Muen, we're going to be late, I'll be scolded!"

Mu En smiled, he felt like he was in a good mood at the moment, and he couldn't help but say in a good mood: "Noisy and noisy! ”

It was quiet outside, and Mu En asked Simon to open the door, and Simon had already walked behind the door and opened the door when he heard the command.

The door opened, and Arnold, dressed in a dark purple dress like the Milky Way, with colored gems and a sinister pose, struck a sassy pose that seemed to twist himself into a twist.

Normal people are facing the door, but he is facing the door on the outside of his left shoulder, and his chin is pressed against his shoulder, his left hand is straddling, his right hand pulls up the collar more than an inch, the lower body turns to the right, and the upper body turns to the left, with a blurred expression, revealing a strong narcissistic atmosphere.

Mu En was drinking water at this time, and when he saw this action, he choked and began to cough, and when he finally controlled it, he rolled his eyes at Arnold.

"You're so sassy. ”

"Man, it's just to be sassy. Arnold laughed, and then urged: "Hurry up, I've been waiting for a long time, do you know how many lovely girls there are at today's dinner, and the big event of a lifetime is today." ”

"You don't look like an infatuated lord. Mu En teased.

Arnold was anxious when he heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Why are you so innocent ......?"

"Sensitive, that is—sensitive. "Muen told a bad joke that only a magician could understand.

"Okay, okay, you can eat food indiscriminately and poison yourself at most, and you can't talk nonsense that will kill a group. Arnold came over, and without even taking off his shoes, he stepped on the precious carpet and turned Muen's hand.

It looked like it was still early in the day, and I didn't know why they started to prepare for drunkenness at this time.

It's better to read a book, isn't the ink fragrant?

Sitting in the carriage, Mu En suddenly knew why he had set off so early.

"It's not as fast as I'm going. After an hour of snail racing, Muen couldn't help but complain.

"That's not good, how can a decent person of the upper class walk by himself with sand and dust, and good shoes don't wear out all at once. ”

"Then I'll go down and go, anyway, my family doesn't have a title, and I'm not a high-class person, you give me the invitation. ”

"Joke, where do I have that kind of thing. It must be my face that will take you in. ”

"And you tear your face off?"

"Don't you want to be so scary!"

When he arrived at the manor, Muen was starting to feel a little hungry.

The Manor of the Vic family was lit up like daylight, separating the light and shadow like a dream, and there were many long tables and seats in the courtyard, and Arnold said that there were many people who came back today, and they would definitely not be able to put people in the castle alone, so some little-known nobles would be arranged in the compound.

"In other words, you don't need an invitation to enter the courtyard outside?" asked Muen.

Arnold nodded, "All you need is a good dress and a carriage with your own family crest." ”

“...... Then why didn't you let me come over. ”

"You can't get in without a family crest, and you're ...... Your clothes are a little lower-grade. ”

Mu En felt as if he had heard someone mocking his clothes in his dream, so he looked down again, and wanted to curse.

Although it is not made by the master, it is comfortable to wear and in line with the etiquette norms.

"Good clothes are the embodiment of the bride price, and many dresses are not comfortable to wear at all, such as me, but there is no way, people eat this set. Of course, you know me, I never judge people by their looks. ”

Simon burst out laughing when he heard this. Mu En also immediately understood and laughed, which made Arnold a little embarrassed.

But after laughing, there were other things to take care of, and Simon stopped consciously when he sent the two to the door of the castle.

Mu En turned his head and looked at Arnold again, the meaning was obvious.

"Try it. Arnold said, and the three of them came to the door and were stopped by the soldiers.

"This is my friend. Arnold showed his family crest, and the soldier was a little embarrassed after reading it: "Boy Mianhu, according to the rules, no matter who doesn't have an invitation, they can't enter, not to mention ......" The soldier's eyes glanced at Mu En's clothes, which made Mu En very unhappy.

"He's low-key, and he's afraid to scare you to death if he says his identity. After speaking, he added fuel and vinegar to Muen's family business and some hearsay experiences.

His hearsay approach is also quite interesting, because a lot of what he knows from Simon is definitely the secret of the secrets.

Besides, who is Arnold? Bard! That boasting is not a set of things, and when he added fuel to his fire, he said that Mu En is a ruthless person who is not difficult to kill a magic master as long as he thinks, and several guards were stunned when they heard this, looking at the cute little boy in front of them, they could hardly believe that this was the ruthless and murderous boss in the mouth of the young master of the Mianhu family.

Mu En couldn't listen to it, so he stabbed Arnold viciously in the back with his hand.

Arnold is also a drama master, and he can't be honest anymore, and even the flame internalized and forced out a little sweat.

This gives people a different new experience, Mu En's action of warning him not to talk nonsense is naturally considered to mean "I will kill you if I say it again", and the internalization of the elements is undoubtedly to use the circuit, so this situation is naturally thought to be that Mu En clearly has no magic fluctuations, and it is just a slight point to let the young master of Sleeping Lake, who is in the top eight, use magic to dissolve, he is even more terrifying than Arnold's words!

But rules are rules, so although a few guards were apprehensive in their hearts, they were still a little hesitant.

"Don't rub it off, anyway, it's not that many people can't sit down, so let your family master tell my ancestor to go. ”

The guard hesitated and agreed, but when he got to Simon, he refused to nod anyway.

"One can do the other, but the other?"

"This is really out of line, the lord wants every guest at the banquet to be known to him, you know, he is a very controlling person, we have to go too far, even a scribe, we really can't afford to blame it. ”

"What are you afraid of, with me. ”

"Adults will not be angry with you, and there is no need to be angry with us, how to arrange it is a matter of one sentence, I also have a family to support at home, so don't embarrass me, a laborer. ”

Arnold rubbed his hands, feeling that things were more difficult, so he asked Muen with his eyes, why Muen took a step back, meaning that if he couldn't get in, then I wouldn't go in; Arnold opened his mouth slightly and spread his palms, meaning don't, how bad is this.

The two of them are acting like mimes.

But in the end, Simon was understanding, and he leaned down and whispered to Muen, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm a bard, so naturally there is a way to get in, but I need you to do me a favor." ”

Say. ”

"I want five runes that can absorb and store non-attribute magic power to support the scene, after all, it's ...... now" After speaking, he smiled a little embarrassedly, it is really troublesome without magic power.

Mu En nodded, and suddenly said to Arnold, "Arnold, I'll lend you something." ”

"What?"

In the next second, Arnold felt his magic uncontrollably withdrawn from his body......
