Chapter 44: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
When all the guests had seen it, William still looked out, as if someone else was coming, but then a hint of disappointment flashed across William's face.
Because it was William's birthday party, the whole was relatively loose, so this host was sure to greet guests, but William was still young, so Princess Ante naturally took over this responsibility.
Except for the occasional bite of food, William ignored other people's flattery. He was proud of his high status and directly ignored the people around him, but when he saw Lin Qian and Elena talking and laughing on the side, he wanted to go up and get close, and by the way, he asked Lin Qian for a few more gifts.
"William, are you satisfied with the gift you gave?" Elena already knew the answer when she saw the magic ring he was wearing.
"Satisfied. However, William was not in the mood to talk to his sister this time, he was bent on getting something from Lin Qian.
Lin ...... The king is also pleased with your gift. William said something that he thought was awkward, he had never had a good face towards others, and this time he made an exception to praise Lin Qian.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment. Lin Qian didn't seem to be flattered, and seemed quite perfunctory.
However, the prince who came with a purpose did not pay attention to this, and he continued to hint intentionally or unintentionally: "Your magic guild should have a lot of such treasures, right?"
Lin Qian was a little funny, the dignified prince was like a child, of course the prince himself was a child. These two gifts were already expensive, and Lin Qian didn't have the leisure to continue to please him.
"Well, tomorrow for His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday, I will definitely give you a better gift. β
William was slightly disappointed, and secretly said that this Lin was really ignorant, and he couldn't understand his words, and it seemed that the hint was more obvious.
"Hey, it's a pity that the three uncles didn't come, and they have received a lot of good things this year. William's words looked rather regretful.
"Didn't your uncle go back a long time ago?" interjected Elena.
"No, I saw them the other day, but none of them came tonight!" William said angrily, not knowing how much shocking content was revealed in his words.
Elena and Lin Qian glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of surprise and confusion in each other's eyes. It is said that after the magic competition, the group of Nanyang tribes has already returned, and there is no difference in number from when they came, if what William said is true, it will be a little unusual.
"Don't lie, where did you see your uncle?" Elena continued to test the truth of the sentence.
"I was seen in the palace when I was talking with the queen mother. They knew it was my birthday, but they didn't come to give them gifts. The innocent William was bent on proving that he was not deceiving people, but he didn't know how much information he was deceived by Elena.
Princess Ante had already noticed the situation here, and she frowned slightly, as if she had a sense of foreboding.
"Okay, go to me another day, I'll give your Highness a few more good things, now you better go back." Lin Qian saw Princess Ante looking over and reminded William.
"Also, don't tell your queen mother what you said this time. Elena added.
"Why?" said William, a little strange.
"No, you'll be scolded if you say it. Elena smiled mysteriously.
After the dinner, the guests dispersed and everything was calm again, but this dinner was destined to change events.
Three masters of natural magic entered the palace without a trace, but Elena's royal magicians did not notice it at all, and it seemed that it was time for the group to be renewed.
"Why has my palace been invaded twice and no one has found out?" said Elena, who had summoned all the royal magicians overnight, and began to speak.
"Princess, the people of the Nanyang tribe are good at natural magic, and they can easily hide their bodies with the help of anything, I am afraid that they are not Dacheng strong, and it is difficult to find them. An old magician who was almost full-fledged replied.
"Then we have to let them in and out?" said Elena, a little upset.
"This ...... There is a way to know at the first time, but it is much more troublesome. The old magician continued.
Natural magic, though it is also magic, is so mysterious that only the people of the Nanyang tribe understand its mysteries. The reason why they were able to enter the palace quietly was nothing more than because the palace's defenses were all man-made, and it was inevitable that there would be blind spots that could not be seen. And if an enchantment is established to protect the entire palace, as long as people enter and leave, they will be aware of it, but since they find out that there is an enchantment, they will definitely not break in again.
The old magician went on to recount his plan: "I know a secret magic circle that can quietly create an enchantment that outsiders can't find out, and this enchantment doesn't prevent anyone from entering or leaving, but it will convey everyone's information about entering and leaving. As long as we guard all the normal entrances, they will enter through the other entrances, and they will be able to spot them when the time comes. β
"Well, if you have something good, you have to share it. Elena suddenly remembered Lin Qian's truths, with a new discovery of magic, it seemed to be a big mistake to blindly hide it.
Elena was nervously preparing here, and Lin Qian was not idle.
"How many people did it the night Black was killed?"
Clausen thought that Lin Qian had found some clues, and hurriedly replied: "There are three people, but all of them are masters, and none of the people present are opponents." β
"Three? This is interesting......" Lin Qian smiled bitterly, could it be that they are the real backers, and if it is really them, what is the real purpose?
"You go and make arrangements, ask Charles to come here tomorrow, and say I have important information for him. Lin Qian sent Clausen away, rubbing his temples to himself, he found that sitting in this position, he would unconsciously feel sleepy.
A pair of small hands were placed on Lin Qian's shoulders at the right time, making Lin Qian relax for a while, and hurriedly leaned back, closing his eyes and enjoying it.
"Xiaoyi, thank you. Lin Qian was comfortable for a long time before handing out such a sentence.
Xiao Yi's hands stopped unconsciously, and then moved to Lin Qian's head as if nothing happened, and continued to rub gently. Lin Qian's tightly closed eyes were stretched into a thin strip for a while, and then a fold was squeezed out, as if the human skin was put on.
It didn't take long for Lin Qian to fall asleep, making an even breathing sound, as carefree as a child. Xiao Yi took out a blanket from the house, gently covered it for Lin Qian, and dutifully acted as a maid.
He found out.
Although Xiao Yi thought that she was well hidden, she still felt that Lin Qian was already suspicious. No, not just suspicion, but already convinced that she was involved.
knew that he would be found out sooner or later, but Xiao Yi couldn't help but help him. Her prophetic ability is more accurate than that of the gods, but she can't predict Lin Qian's psychology, is this also doomed?
"Don't interfere with the trajectory of his fate. You just do your part, don't mind his business, don't get involved, and more importantly, don't cross the line. Mother's words sounded in Xiao Yi's mind again, but she deliberately ignored them again and again.
The trajectory of his fate is mostly unpredictable, is everything he does to him interfering, or should his fate be his own involvement? This is the question that Xiao Yi has been thinking about recently, and she seems to regret that she insists on coming, but since things are already like this, she has to continue.
"Don't think about things you can't figure out. Lin Qian suddenly woke up, looked at Xiao Yi beside him and said with a smile.
This voice startled Xiao Yi, and quickly turned around and asked Lin Qian: "Why did Childe wake up?"
"Your blanket is too thick, and the scent is a little heavier. Lin Qian chuckled.
One sentence made Xiao Yi's face flushed, which was covered by Xiao Yi sometimes when she slept, and the fragrance on it was naturally Xiao Yi's body......
Lin Qian also lifted the blanket a little embarrassed, and said, "Don't worry, since someone is helping me, of course I'm happy to accept it." Merely...... I want to know whyβdon't tell me it's a family secret. β
"This ......" Xiao Yi hesitated, but she felt that she couldn't say it easily at this time, after all, anyone who knew about this kind of thing would be surprised.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, wait for me to find out for myself. Lin Qian got up and was about to go back to the room.
"Childe, Xiaoyi didn't deliberately hide it, but this matter is really a family ....... The more Xiao Yi spoke, the lower her voice became, and there was no sound behind her.
"Okay," Lin Qian, although extremely curious, still knew that it was difficult not to force others, "I just see that you are a little worried, so I remind you, sometimes there is no need to think about things so complicated." Have you been worried about this being useful? No, then don't worry. You see, I actually have less than five years to live, and I wonder every day that this is useful? No, then I don't want to. β
Xiao Yi nodded silently, said thank you and went back to the room, she didn't know that Lin Qian had calculated this time.
But Lin Qian, a cunning little fox, smiled in his heart: "She really knew about my being occupied by the old fox." β
Early the next morning, Lin Qian called Clawson and ordered something while Xiaoyi was washing.
"Senior, please arrange for someone to check the history books and the like, is there such a person in history who has the ability to prophesy!"
"Childe, what are you doing here?" Clausen was also confused.
"I'm useful, just send the book when you find it, and I'll do my own research. Lin Qian smiled mysteriously.
Clausen went down in confusion, and then Xiao Yi, who was kept in the dark, came in.
"Childe, do you have anything to do in the morning?" Xiao Yi was already in a much better mood after Lin Qian's enlightenment yesterday.
Lin Qian stretched his waist and said casually, "Yes." Charles is coming in a moment, do you think he'll take my word for it?"
