Chloe looked at Mu En and was stunned, he spoke so quickly that she couldn't accept so much information for a while.

After doing it for a while, he forced a smile and reluctantly said, "You lied to me." ”

But in fact, she knows very well that Mu En is a person who never deceives and has a good sense of goodness so that he sometimes seems a little old-fashioned.

"I'm serious. Moreover, the teacher said that even if he used the best elixir that could nourish my soul to help me nourish my soul, I would stop before the high-level magistur. And as I believe you know, the most recent thing that can heal my soul was thousands of years ago. So—will you choose me and me?" Munn's voice was slightly muffled, and he looked directly into Chloe's eyes, as if trying to see the answer in her eyes.

Mu En's mental state has been because of Diaxun's methods, and he is no longer as sleepy or even faint as before, and his bright eyes no longer look sleepy like that, but reveal a brightness.

But there are gains and losses, although he seems to be much more energetic now, but he has lost the original sense of weakness that can make people protective.

So Chloe just looked at his serious and serious expression, and felt a lot of pressure. Her long eyelashes drooped, as if she was thinking about how to comfort the teenager in front of her...... It's like having something on your mind and making your heart cringe.

After making the opposing sides feel that it was a long time, Chloe finally raised her head and smiled at Mu En: "It's okay, I'm sure you can do it." ”

He stood up and took two steps back, smiling slightly, but there was a bit of sadness in his smile.

"You didn't answer my question head-on...... But it's okay, I already know the answer. Mu En looked to the side and saw that there was grass growing in the cracks of the floor tiles over there...... It's just that because of the arrival of autumn, it has withered.

Then he returned the realization to the person in front of him, still looking at each other with two pairs of beautiful eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were rippling.

"But this time I came to you, in addition to this matter, there is another thing. He said.

"You say. The girl's voice was a little interested, probably because there were still too many things on her mind hovering over Zhihai.

"Do you know where Simon is? I've been awake for days, but I haven't heard from him. Mu En asked in a calm tone, with a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"At that time, we waited until the end of the battle, and we didn't see Simon, and he didn't have a magic circuit. I think it may have been ......" In the end, Chloe didn't say any more, and she suddenly regretted it, thinking that saying such a thing in the current situation would definitely make Muen even more sad.

Sure enough, Mu En's eyebrows were furrowed, and he said in a loud voice, impossible.

Chloe stopped talking, her eyes flashing with mixed emotions, sadness, guilt, and many, many other emotions that could not be explained.

Mu En stood there and thought about it for a long time, and decided to go back to Vic Province to have a look.

He wasn't one of those people who would drag his feet after making a decision, so he turned around and left, and the emotions in his heart made him a little annoyed.

"Muen!" Chloe's voice came from behind him, the sound of a song but dyed with the color of an ape's cry.

He hesitated, but stopped and looked back.

Chloe didn't weep or cry, but the sadness in her eyes was as clear as lilac. Even people like Mu En, who thought that they were not too serious about this so-called relationship, suddenly felt a tightening in their hearts, as if they were infected by her emotions.

Perhaps every girl who shows all her fragility uncontrollably but tries her best to suppress it is the most beautiful, and that sad look is enough to leave a heavy scar in the hearts of everyone who has seen it.

But Mu En suppressed the urge to appease her, and just stood quietly waiting for her next words.

It took a long time for Chloe to calm down her emotions a little, but when she said the first words, she began to tremble again.

"Muen, I really believe that you can regain your talent because I really want to be with you and love being with you. ”

With that, she sat back on the bench as if she had lost all her strength, buried her face deep in her palms, propped herself up on her knees, and heard sobbing sounds.

It turns out that there are really people who cry for love.

Mu En thought like this, but he couldn't empathize with this emotion, because he had never been in love with anyone, so he couldn't even imagine what kind of rush that emotion would bring to him.

He lowered his head, thinking it would be too cruel to leave her here like this, but the autumn sun brought out a dim yellow hue, and he saw the withered plants in the cracks of the stone bricks.

Say that there is no resentment, then how is it possible?

So Mu En finally turned around and left quietly, leaving only a very lonely silhouette in this big autumn.

When the bell rang again, Chloe finally looked up, but the person she wanted to see had long since disappeared, and the tears naturally broke down again.

Many people can't understand why teenagers often burst into tears because of a "trivial matter", and feel that teenagers' poems are always worrying about new words. It's just that they forget the kind of beautiful and beautiful emotions that can only be possessed when they are teenagers, and that one thing in front of them is more important than the whole world, so that they will laugh at someone or their own slightly gratuitous tears when they were young.

Maybe everyone's growth is lost.

In the end, I don't even understand sadness.

It's something sadder than grief.

Sitting in the carriage, Mu En dreamed of the girl's parting look every night, which disturbed his mind and was chaotic.

In fact, no matter where they are placed, the Magister is an indispensable and respectable backbone. It's just that for an academic family as large as Chloe, it is impossible for them to let their most gifted offspring marry someone who is hopeless even for the rest of their lives.

It's an insurmountable pressure and resistance, for both sides. Maybe this difference was not obvious when I was young, but in the years after a hundred years, the huge gap in class and vision between the two sides is destined to make both people unhappy.

Keeping the vows that are commonly used at weddings will undoubtedly only make both of them suffer.

So it's understandable, so after all, I left so peacefully.

Returning to Vik Province, Muen finally found Mutu's temporary residence through many inquiries, but there were many twists and turns, but fortunately, the result did not disappoint Muen, Mutu received himself,

After knowing Mu En's intention, he invited Mu En to be a guest in his small garden, and retreated.

After making sure that no one was around, the host took the initiative to say to Mu En: "I understand your thoughts, but you'd better not talk about this matter outside, it may get you into trouble." ”

"I'm not afraid of any trouble, I just want to know if Simon is still alive. Mu En's speech was very fast, and it sounded a little rushed, but fortunately, Mu Tu was not a person with a hurry, and he didn't bother with Mu En.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that at least he didn't die on the spot, but the problem is that the situation is complicated right now. You also know that it is impossible for the magic circle to be invalid or even destroyed so easily, so there must be something going on here. ”

"You doubt him?!, a man who can be said to have no circuit, do you think he can do it?"

Mutu stretched out his hand, signaling Muen not to get excited, and let him speak slowly.

"That's right, the people in the orchestra were supposed to leave after us because they had to pack up their belongings and props that day. But at this time there was an explosion, and they didn't even get out of the door. And the people who were killed that night were all unscathed, except for the nobles who were the servants of the nobles, but they were all unscathed, but it has to be mentioned that their circuit level was not high. ”

Mu En Shen frowned and said, "Evil magicians like to kill and injure these people who have no ability to resist the most, why don't they kill them?"

Mutu slapped the back of his hand with his palm, "Yes, that's the problem, and what is especially important is the coincidental disappearance of one of the most striking musicians that day, and I don't need to say more about who believes it." After that, the owner of the orchestra and the official who hired the orchestra were all imprisoned. And the team leader said that Simon was mixed in, and constantly asked to change the time of the show, and sang a song that didn't seem to fit well with the holiday atmosphere. You see what I mean, right?"

"Then why didn't you arrest me? At the beginning, he made it very clear that his master was me. Mu En suddenly felt a hint of danger, and said tentatively.

"Because I know he's innocent, after all, I helped him get into the orchestra. ”

"Then the orchestra leader didn't confess to you?"

"Don't worry, I didn't come forward in person, but found the official who originally invited them to come forward, this person is my confidant, and the suspicion has been cleared. After all, none of them had the slightest trace of evil magic or infection. ”

"Are you really sure that Simon is not dead, not that he was directly corrupted by the evil arts?" Mu En suddenly thought of a point, and asked the core question again.

"Do you want him to die or do you want him to live?" Mu Tu scolded with a smile and poured Mu En a cup of tea, "Don't worry, this raid is very evil, and most of them are deterrent kills." Except for the daughter of an earl or a marquis, whose head disappeared and only the body remained, the stumps of the others could be put together in a human form, and no one was found to be so unlucky that there was not even a scum left. So I dare to conclude that he did not at least die on the spot. However, it has been more than half a month now, and the current situation is estimated to be hanging. ”

"The sorcerer has spent so much effort to kidnap so many people, don't you have the slightest idea of making a deal?" Mu En couldn't figure out the joints a little, after all, this time the incident was very different from the previous sorcerer's chaotic style.

Mutu also expressed puzzlement about this: "I don't understand this either, after all...... My grandfather has done a great job. They don't seem to have a reason to just come and kidnap. Besides, even the fortress circle has been broken, and they can completely entangle the army to take us down in one fell swoop. ”

"They didn't send any blackmail letters or anything like that?"

"It's a pity that there is no hair, they are like they have evaporated from the world, and they can't even find it. ”

Mu En hurriedly knocked his hand on the table, although the ideal must be to firmly believe that Simon Fu is still alive now, but he must also hurry up and think of a countermeasure, and he can't even find people anywhere like now and be too passive.

"Eh, can you show me the list of hostages and casualties?" Muen said to Mutu as he seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Of course. Mutu pointed to a stack of papers on the spacious round table and gestured that it was.

Mu En took the battle report, and suddenly smiled: "You have actually prepared all the materials, it should be something else, right?"

"Of course, there is no progress on our side right now, and there is a lot of external pressure, so I now want to gather all the people who can help us solve this problem. ”

"I'm not even fourteen years old. ”

"But I admire your deeds. Besides, intelligence and ambition seem to me to have little to do with age. ”

"Intelligence needs to be accumulated?"

"No, knowledge needs to be accumulated, and the ability to see small things depends more on talent. ”

"The young master has won the prize. Mu En said politely, looking at it to calm down and concentrate on reading the newspaper.

In less than half an hour, he had gone through all the documents he thought were relevant, and he probably had a clue in his mind. But there's one thing you don't understand.

"Why did they arrest Simon? I saw that the people who were taken away here were all the sons of nobles, and Simon was one of my sidekicks, and he was dressed like that, and he benefited too little from the kidnapping in that regard. Although Mu En is telling the truth, it makes people feel quite heartbroken when they say it, fortunately Simon is not around now, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have to fight with my own adults.

"Maybe sorcerers also have a need for spiritual entertainment?" said Mutu, teasing, who had no affection for Simon, so he didn't care about teasing.

"With your attitude towards things, it's no wonder you haven't made progress for so long. Mu En straightened up, his expression a little displeased.

Mu Tu shrugged and said: "That's the case, on our side, we directly put him in the category of inner ghosts, no way, the last evidence of all unusual things points to him, so we have stopped digging him." ”

"If you don't think like that, you shouldn't stop. Mu En stood up, trying to think about the doubts and loopholes that might arise.

But he found that he couldn't ignore the influence of these theories as if he had listened to the preconceived reasoning of the Vic family. After all, although this reasoning is intuitive and simple, it really sounds quite reasonable......

It feels like it's hard not to show the fox's tail to a clumsy first-time thief.

But after all, Mu En had been with Simon for a few months, and if he was really a sorcerer, he would not have been chased all over the world by a team of more than a dozen cavalry.

"Do you have any ideas?" asked Mutu, taking a sip of his tea.

"I also need a sheet of your relationship and correspondence with these missing noble families. Mu En suddenly thought of a breakthrough point, which was what Mu Tu had just said, "There is a lot of pressure in the family. ”

But I didn't expect Mutu to be very embarrassed about this matter.

"This is a relatively confidential matter, and I cannot show you the letter, which will involve some things that cannot be revealed. ”

Mu En thought about it, although he felt that the letter was important, but it didn't seem to be a decisive factor in the current position, so he gave up, but still asked to know what the relationship between the Vic family and the suffering family was.

This is an open secret, so Mutu has nothing to say, and takes Mu En to the study, where there is a map of the borders of the empire.

After listening to Mutu's rough explanation, Muen roughly understood the current situation and the pressure that the Vic family was under.

"What's the high idea?" Mu Tu's face was a little stupid, after all, in the process of explaining just now, Mu En occasionally asked a few embarrassing questions about the history of each family.

For example, the Vic family once killed and skinned the lord of a certain province a long time ago, why is it now a generational friend.

How do you say this makes people answer? The aristocracy wants to save face the most.

"I think it's obvious that your eyes are drawn by the ghosts, and I don't think we should look for traces of the process first, but focus on knowing each other's goals. ”

"How?"

"Obviously, I want to make your family lose friendship, hearts and courage. ”

"Heh! will our Vic family have no guts?"

"You may have, but the subordinates of the nobles are still ordinary people after all, and they have been clamoured like this, and I am afraid that many of your policies will be difficult to implement in the future. Because I have read the laws of the province of Vik, which is a more authoritarian system, and after this night attack, I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied with many high-pressure policies, and when they fight in the future, similar to the kind of thing you did in the Colosseum, future generations will inevitably beat the drum in their hearts if they want to do it again. ”

Insightful, continued. ”

"What's more, that's not the main thing, after all, fear will eventually be diluted by time. But the lack of interests is real, and the attitude of other nobles towards this matter will definitely be on the same side as the vast majority of the people. Think it's because of your brutality that you have provoked mad revenge. Although the sorcerers will make a little move every year, but this year, it is still unprecedented that the sorcerers of the entire empire are assisting your family. ”

"So?"

"Therefore, the other party's purpose is really to kill three birds with one stone, so that the feelings of the family that you have good friends with will be weakened, the family that wants to be good will turn evil, the family that has no relationship with you will be discouraged, and the family that has long had bad friends will make a big show of the seriousness of the matter. In this way, you are isolated in the Empire. ”
