What's more, with Lin An and Salin's inner thoughts, if Jacob didn't play an important role in the next shift of attention, both of them would have the urge to take advantage of each other's weakness and solve Jacob at once.

However, after the two changed their minds, they gave up this idea.

As the night wore on, everyone went back to their rooms.

But not long after the few people left, Lin An heard the door again, opened the door, and she saw Salin standing alone outside the door, so she thought he was moved.

No one in the aisle saw this scene, and Lin An turned sideways to let him in.

"He was just assassinated, and the guards are at their tightest, I'm afraid it's difficult to even get close, and there are so many people here, it's not the place to start." Lin An said lightly, made a pot of strong tea, and poured a cup for her and Salin.

Without the Andre siblings around, it was much easier for them to mention the matter.

"Indeed, and I suspect he may have guessed who was behind Paradise Island, if it wasn't the Supreme, then Yokjartan and them dog-eat-dog would be better than we would have dealt with it ourselves,"

Lin An's posture of pouring tea was graceful and elegant, Salin's eyes flashed slightly, took the teacup she handed over, and unconsciously lowered his head and took a sip, "...... There is nothing more beautiful in the world than two enemies who consume each other and never stop dying. ”

"You're so sure it has nothing to do with that Supreme?" Lin An raised her eyebrows, the white vapor in the teacup diluted the sharpness of her eyes, and the aroma of green tea added a bit of elegance.

Regarding the confrontation between Kress and Yokjaran at the auction and the subsequent assassination, Lin An only listened to the retelling, not saw it with his own eyes, so he still has reservations about Salin's judgment.

Salin nodded affirmatively, "The most suspicious are undoubtedly those four. If it is related to the Supreme. Then there is no reasonable explanation for Yokjardan's subsequent reaction, as well as being assassinated. ”

"Perhaps, it was indeed a spy lurking in the crowd?" Lin An raised his eyebrows lightly.

Saleen smirked, "We all know how those spies came from. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe there are fish that slipped through the net. What's more, in addition to those spies, there may not be no potential enemies of Yorkiatan present, aren't we just an example? ”

Lin An deliberately retorted, and then laughed as well, and the flowers bloomed. "The current situation is indeed just right, that is, even spoilers like us can't figure out the real situation. They have to fight and bite - especially after listening to your certainty, I have more confidence. ”

As long as it wasn't for that majesty to make a move personally, Lin An was not afraid of those highnesses, anyway, there was already a Jacob, and it didn't matter if there was one more.

Saleen smiled as well.

“…… But since it's not for him. What are you doing again? Lin An said strangely.

"I just suddenly remembered something, and I wanted to ask you if you had considered accepting some people from Paradise Island.

Those people have been strictly trained, if it weren't for the current situation, but many nobles are vying for servants, isn't your mansion also short of people? Compared to the people sent by the royal family, they are not as safe as those on Paradise Island. As long as you can detoxify them, hold them in your hands. ”

Salin said, his thumb running over the rim of the cup. Looking at the person in front of him, his eyes were slightly scattered, but he was well concealed and was not noticed by Lin An.

With Lin An's understanding of Salin, he wouldn't go out of his way to remind her just because her mansion was short of people.

Lin An's mind turned. Some know: "Do you think the Bedika sisters are a little too conspicuous?" ”

Sally laughed.

"If there is no such thing as tonight, I will casually ask for two people tomorrow. It's not too eye-catching, but with this little twist and turn tonight, I'm afraid that someone who cares will notice them. ”

He liked the feeling that the other party could understand without much explanation.

He has seen a few women who can keep up with him in terms of thought and ability, but only Lin An alone can make him feel so strongly attracted, and he can't help but want to capture this woman and make her feel the same as him.

Lin An didn't know what he was thinking, he was just seriously considering Salin's suggestion.

"Indeed, if you can't divert your attention, you can distract a little more,"

She nodded, agreed with Salin's suggestion, and smiled, "You're still careful." Then I'll go back to Bedika tomorrow and ask her who she knows better and who she is suitable. ”

……

The next day, when Lin An asked Andre to ask for someone, he ran into some trouble.

"All of them are going to be detained and imprisoned! Why? Didn't you stay in your room last night? ”

Andrei was very surprised, and looked at the soldiers in the courtyard in front of him, who were kicking and scolding people, and the steward who was watching alongside.

In the middle of the noisy courtyard in front of him, the group of maids and servants were either crying and mourning, or their faces were numb, and the feelings of all expressed a kind of despair of uncertain future, unknown life and death, and the sadness that the little people could not control their fate.

"I don't know, my honorable lord. This is an order from Your Excellency the Steward, let us take this group of soldiers into the fort and detain these people, but why do we do this, we should not ask,"

The steward smiled bitterly and said that he was not the steward who pulled people last night, and he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Andre, "Maybe it's to torture them, these lowly people are guilty, but they don't have the right to let a noble person like you bother more for them." ”

"But most of these people didn't know the inside story, and they weren't even there at the time......

Andre wanted to say something, but when he saw the steward in front of him with a blank face, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "Forget it, what are you doing with this!" ”

He flicked his sleeves, strode back, and told Lin An about the matter.

Lin An was slightly surprised, "Only then did I remember to go to prison, what did I do earlier?" ”

By the time they got off the boat, many of the more awake people had already run away, and it was even more impossible for those with ghosts to stay, and the remaining homeless and dazed people stayed here and were placed in the city lord's mansion.

Moreover, the City Lord's Mansion originally didn't pay attention to these people, and it didn't seem that there would be any assassin rebellion hidden in it, otherwise Lin An wouldn't have casually left Sister Bedika last night, and what young master ordered those people to serve that group of nobles because of lack of manpower.

But Lin An thought about it and said, "In this case, then forget it, I don't have to." ”

Saleen nodded as well. If this is done too bluntly, it is better not to do it.

Lin An then said to Sister Bedika, who was a little disappointed: "You wait here first, take care of John, don't show up casually, those people probably won't come to you on purpose." ”

They plan to return to the imperial capital today, preparing to ask the city lord for their resignation.

The Bedika sisters lifted their skirts obediently, and although they were slightly disappointed, they were very lucky compared to their other companions, and they could no longer trouble their new masters.

At this time, the waiter sent to inquire about the whereabouts of the city lord happened to come to report. said that the city lord had just returned to the study, and he happened to have time to see them.

Lin An immediately asked the waiter to lead the way, and the group immediately went to the study.

Halfway through a cloister. Lin An and his party happened to meet Galileo who was leading a few mage apprentices on a narrow road.

He looked pale and haggard, with deep bruises under his bloodshot eyes, a shaved chin covered with an iron blue, and his hair robe unfolded. But it gives people a feeling of exhaustion and lack of energy.

While rubbing his knotted brows, he turned his head sideways to explain something to the apprentices beside him, and he didn't even notice that Lin An and Andre passed diagonally in front of him, and Lin An's voice was hoarse and dry.

Seeing this, Lin An and Salin were both thoughtful, and Andre did not get a common reaction after passing sideways. He looked back twice more until Galileo and his party walked around the corner.

Before coming to the study, the city lord did not take the shelf. As soon as the housekeeper went in to inform him, he quickly invited Lin An and others to come in.

But the farewell of Lin An and the others was retained by the city lord, and the implication seemed to be that it was not convenient for them to leave at this time.

The city lord's side. The butler and the deputy officer of Salt Lake City were also on the side, saying that if there was something dissatisfied. Please feel free to drive your subordinates or send someone to inform them.

Of course Andre didn't want to, his heavy and heroic eyebrows were raised, and he just wanted to speak, but was pulled by Lin An behind his back, and then he didn't make a sound, letting Lin An continue to communicate.

"I also know that the master is embarrassed, but we came out this time to accept the task of Master Robinho, and the deadline is just around the corner, if we delay the master's important business, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the master."

When the city lord and the two officials heard this, their already wrinkled faces had a few more wrinkles, and Lin An didn't say much, but just said calmly as if he were blind:

“…… Therefore, if the lord of the castle thinks that he can let him go, please send someone to inform us immediately, and we will be waiting for your news in the room at any time. ”

After saying that, he said goodbye and left, the city lord was annoyed and helpless on his face, and sent Lin An and the others away with a wry smile, but in the end he didn't say to release them.

……

As soon as he returned to Lin An's suite, Andre crossed over to the Bedika sisters who greeted him, and after sitting down, he slapped the table:

"That old man is going too far, does he treat us all as prisoners?"

The city lord's actions seem to be abnormal, he wants to put so many people under house arrest, and even dares to ignore the majesty of the archmage, and in terms of identity, his title is slightly lower than Lin An's first-class earl.

Andrei's anger startled the Bedika sisters and they stiffened in the doorway, and Lin An and Salin walked in and waved their hands to let them go out first.

"He does this, naturally he has a reason to do it, and it's useless to argue with him angrily."

Lin An said, and after casting the spell, he found a place to sit down.

"The city lord's reaction is not normal, is it true that Yorkja is seriously ill with erysipelas?" From the reactions of Galileo and the city lord and others seen before, Lin An couldn't help but think so.

Andrei's brother and sister were stunned for a moment, and then thoughtfully, Andrei couldn't help but say: "It's very possible, otherwise Galileo wouldn't be so abnormal." ”

"I'll go out and have a look." Saleen Road.

Then Andrei also called "I'll go too", and the two went out together.

However, Lin An was a little surprised by Andrei's initiative, he had always disliked these communicators before, but when it came to Galileo, his old enemy, Andrei's concern was normal.

However, Shirille's eyes followed Andre's back and left, her blue eyes flashed with a hint of understanding, and she didn't say anything.

Soon after, the two returned.

Salin closed the door at the back, and as soon as Andrei sat down, he said, "The fifth prince seems to be really dying." ”

"Did you see him?" Lin An was surprised.

"No, now the southern part of the area has been fenced off, and no one else is allowed to visit the rooms of the five princes, only the nobles who have been serving by York's side can enter and leave.

However, Andrei met an apprentice, and the medicine in his hand seemed to be used to suppress organ failure. ”

Salin said as he walked towards his seat. "I also went to a few people I knew on the boat, and they all said that the atmosphere had become very strong, and I was afraid that the situation was not good. ”

"In just one day, how can it mutate so quickly?" Andre wondered, "Obviously, when I first got off the ship, I saw that His Highness Yokyadan's face was not bad. ”

Lin An was silent, one hand propped up, and thoughts flowed in his drooping eyes. The deep black pupils seemed to be soaked in mysteries, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Salin also lowered his eyes in thought, and tapped his right index finger twice on the smooth lacquer-coated surface of the low table. There is a crisp aggressive sound, and then the silence is broken.

"I think it's strange too, but there may be another interpretation of the current situation-"

Lin An raised his eyes and met Salin's golden eyes. There was amusement in the latter's smiling eyes:

"Perhaps, Yokjartan is starting to make a move."

……

The illness of the five princes was tightly sealed, but the nobles who were invisibly under house arrest couldn't help but talk about it in private.

This matter is related to their own personal safety, after the unwarranted disaster on Paradise Island, bad luck does not seem to have left them, and now no one does not care about the condition of the five princes. Even the nobles of different factions sincerely hope that the five princes can turn the corner at this time.

Fortunately, on the day when Lin An went to resign, the imperial capital received the news. The Emperor was furious and quickly sent a court archmage to arrive.

The archmage's galloping flying skills carved a long wake through the villages and towns along the way, and broke into the city lord's mansion with a sharp whistle, without even seeing the city lord. He had already arrived at the bedside of the Fifth Prince.

Although the nobles who were temporarily living in the city lord's mansion were woken up in the middle of the night, they learned that the archmage had come to take up the town. Still breathing a sigh of relief, I felt as if I could sleep peacefully for the night.

In the living room of Lin An's suite, sitting opposite Lin An, Salin said: "Such a big momentum, it really looks like what I expected." ”

If York's Yadan is dying, it is strange that their faction is afraid that they will not lock the rumors tightly, whitewash the peace, and then secretly frantically search for a panacea to bring the dead back to life!

Lin An also smiled and said: "Although it is an old trick, but Yokyadan's injury is real, and the archmage I heard about is the Archmage Rice?" ”

Saleen smiled knowingly.

The relationship between Jacob and Rice's lineage, they knew it in the ice field.

However, this relationship is very secret, and I am afraid that not many people know about it at present, especially that Archmage Rice, who is also one of the court archmages who are responsible for the safety of the court and the emperor, Jacob stretched out his hand so long, and he didn't dare to let his father know.

If Salin hadn't been lurking under Jacob's hands and had discovered the close connection between Jacob and Rice's disciples through guò clues, he would probably only think that the relationship between Jacob and Master Rice was just that of an ordinary prince and a court mage who taught magic.

"The main characters are here, and the big drama is about to start.

We shouldn't stay here for long, the longer we stay, the more time we have to prepare for the opponent's contingencies, the five princes will make mistakes, but the court archmage won't. Lin Andao.

Salin nodded.

"What do you mean, is that Archmage Rice supporting the Five Princes?"

Andre on the side was surprised, couldn't help but interject, and then said to himself, "But that's right, supporting a prince who has been trained by a mage and has a deep relationship is of course better than the eldest prince that the emperor currently wants, if it were us, under the same conditions, we might also choose the fifth prince." ”

Salin's eyes flashed, and he was surprised that Andre could perceive the subtlety of this relationship so lightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Lin An.

Lin An was not too surprised, although Andre does not like to figure out people's hearts and scheming, he has a pure personality, and sometimes he can often penetrate the disguise on the surface of things and go straight to the core.

And Andre himself, probably doesn't understand what he said, if he is a person who understands Merlin's domestic power and political situation, I'm afraid he will root this sentence and make many associations about the secret rivalry between Merlin's mage group and the imperial power and nobles.

"But for us, which prince succeeds to the throne has no deep impact on us, not to mention from what we have encountered this time, it is better not to get involved in the struggle for imperial power when our ability is low." Lin Andao.

Andrei's generation of mages, it is estimated that it will be decades before he is promoted to archmage. It doesn't matter who the next emperor will be - of course, Lin An's freak is an exception.

"That's right, Zhengzhì, it's something that can turn a sane and sober mage into a madman and a paranoia—that's what my old man said." Andrei said.

Lin An nodded, judging from this sentence, Andre's master seems to be the kind of hermit inheritance that prefers to live alone and does not pay attention to secular power, which is much quieter and inactive than the inheritance of Dolan's Tower.

The only thing that made Lin An a little strange was how Andre's division could get along with the Tower of Dolan, but from the last time Andre asked Lin An to say that the Tower of Dolan had almost betrayed Merlin, it was obvious that they were also kept in the dark.

Taking advantage of the time now, Lin An brought up this topic. He also elaborated on the relationship between the Tower of Dolan and Yorkiatan and the Holy Empire.

Of course, it is not involved in the affairs of Lin An and Salin when they were in the ice field, and Andre did not have the secret of the inheritance of the Cong Cheese Dynasty to the outside world. Lin An is willing to share this kind of information obtained from the division with him, which is already very good.

After listening to Lin An's words, Andre couldn't sit still, Shirlill was practicing swords on the training ground, and he didn't scream. Hurriedly went back to his room, probably using the Shimen method to contact the Shimen and send the news back.

Salin propped his face, watched Andre walk away, and couldn't help but say:

"Now it seems that you disciples who have a backstage of the master's sect. It's not as good as imagined, even a person like Andre who doesn't care about secular power, when it comes to the teacher. Nor can we stay out of the way. ”

"I have a deep relationship with my teacher, and I am a rational mage, and I can't mess up without caring about it." Lin Andao.

Saleen nodded, and laughed to himself, "Now that I think about it." I was stupid to want to join the Tower of Doran. ”

Lin An thought of Saleen from the Mage Tower to the Ice Field. He almost entered the Tower of Dolan from the ice field, and finally joined the Secret Magic Mission, but looking at his appearance, he just regarded the Secret Law Group as a temporary shelter, without any centripetal force and feelings, and he was floating around like rootless duckweed.

Thinking of himself again, even if Lin An knew that Salin was playing the emotional card to sympathize, he couldn't help but feel a little like he was a fallen person at the end of the world, sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head, and pulled away from this topic.

The two talked for a while, and Saleen went to look at John's and went back to his room to practice.

And Lin An went to talk to John, who woke up, for a while, called Sister Bedika to serve him, and then he would also close the door in his own room, planning to sort out what he had gained during this time, especially the things in the treasure house of Paradise Island, which should have a share of the brothers and sisters Saleen and Andre.

It's just that there are many mouths along the way, and there is no quiet time, plus some vague scruples in his heart, Lin An has not looked at the things in the "Ring of Artemis".

It wasn't until she waited for these two days that the mysterious Lord Remus never appeared again, and Lin An intuitively felt that the strong man who had met with her like a passerby had moved away, so she decided to open the "Ring of Artemis" to sort out the contents inside.

The eleven bracelets have different patterns, but they are actually connected to the same space.

Lin An picked up a bracelet with a lily of the valley pattern, attached his spiritual imprint to it, and then reached into the bracelet with his spiritual power, and was startled by the huge space connected inside:

There are two spaces the size of football fields, with a height of more than 20 zhang, and the things piled up in them occupy nearly half of the space volume, and are divided into two distinct halves.

Half of it is the assets of Paradise Island business looting.

The real bodies of those fakes that Lin An had seen in the treasure house were all in it, and there were a lot more types, Lin An swept it at a glance, and he couldn't count them one by one, but he felt that the value of all things added up, even if it was not comparable to half of the treasury, but it should be about the same.

The other half is much more uniform, neatly arranged in paulownia boxes of different sizes, lengths and widths.

Lin An thought and took out a boxy half-person tall wooden box, and the lid on the wooden box was locked with rivets.

But Lin An has been in the ice field for more than two years, and he has long been familiar with the standard of the military logistics warehouse, and after casting a spell and pulling out the rivets, he opened the lid and took a look, and sure enough, there was a neat set of armor inside, from all-inclusive helmets, cuirasses, knee pads, arm guards, gloves, to rivet chains for backup repair.

In the long wooden box, there are standard long swords, short spears, steel guns, sabers, meteor hammers, maces and other weapons, look at the shape and texture, you know that it is a group of blacksmiths of standard equipment, and each set is a thousand tempered quenched alloy steel, the edge of the blade oozing cold.

In the smaller boxes, there are all kinds of refined steel ingots, black iron and other metal ingots that were consumed in large quantities during wartime, as well as marching food such as butter, jerky, and food balls, as well as armor, horse chews, and shoes worn by war horses.

Lin An jumped out of each box of different sizes and opened it, then put it back as it was, and finally counted the capacity of those boxes, and finally came to a conclusion:

All the materials in this space add up, enough to immediately equip a five-hundred-person elite cavalry brigade with a rank at least above Black Iron, even if it is a long-distance attack and fighting, and there is food in the space, this brigade can be gathered immediately and set off immediately.

The most important thing is that Lin An clearly saw a long sword and a lion's head emblem on the surface of the box, as well as the handle or surface of the various materials contained in the box, and this emblem represents only one object:

The Royal Guard, the leader of Merlin's Ten Legions under the command of the Grand Prince Odin.

(To be continued)

Thank you for your big tip! o(n_n)o~

Well, so the inertia of the pit daughter attacked, and she got the material wealth of two football fields, but she could only see it and couldn't move, and it was followed by big trouble......
