Sure enough, the Emperor and Odin arrived not long after, accompanied by several great nobles.

As Lin An handed over the magic circle and was verified by the masters that the magic circle had the hope of saving Yorkyatan, the palace finally did not continue to block the news and released the matter of York's serious injury.

The upper-class nobles of the imperial capital had already noticed that the wind direction was abnormal in the past few days, and they had used various channels to listen to the news from those in the know.

But the door of the palace of Yorkiadan was not opened because of the arrival of the emperor, and the emperor was busy with government affairs, so he came to inquire about it, and took the courtiers back to the Champs, but left his sons behind.

There are more and more people gathered in the Maple Palace, without the queen's orders, they automatically and consciously divide the circle, and the big circle is divided into different small circles according to their status, the men gather around the prince to the smoking room or reception room, and the women mostly stay near the queen and princesses.

The mage apprentices in the dormitory occasionally came out, and each time they brought out good news:

"Elemental erosion began to weaken ......"

"Sixty percent of the elements have been repulsed, and Master Don Quixote has set out to remove the toxin......"

"There are still thirty percent left, Master Lin Jian yì awakens His Royal Highness Yorkiadan, and His Highness Yorknightan wakes up ......"

The news got better and better, and the queen was finally able to rest with peace of mind.

Victoria and Elizabeth went back to the side hall with the queen, and served the queen to strip and wash her face, and the queen kept smiling and chanting at most a magic to wake her up, and under Elizabeth's persuasion, they ate a few snacks and a glass of hot milk, and just lay down on the bed for a while, and their breathing was immediately smooth and soothing.

The dormitory gradually fell silent, and the two princesses and maids relaxed their movements and breathing, and the faint scent of benzoin permeated the air.

Elizabeth had something on her mind, wondering that Lenster was alienated and cold to her, and put down the hot towel in her hand. The blue eyes stared at the delicate pattern of the hollowing out of the bed curtain.

Victoria thought that she was going to guard the queen, and originally wanted to stay, but when she saw her personal maid behind the door gesturing to her, she moved slightly, pulled the sleeve of Elizabeth's skirt, and motioned for herself to go out first.

"Okay, you can go eat something first, sister, it's almost time for afternoon tea." Elizabeth whispered.

"You haven't eaten either, I'll ask the maid to bring you some later."

Victoria stroked Elizabeth's face, in a happy mood. The absent-mindedness of the latter was not perceived.

Victoria went out with the maid, and had just turned the first turn on the left side of the corridor when she saw Charles standing there. The heavy top was taken off and carried in his hand, and there were some stains under the straightened white collar.

Charles was wearing a white shirt inside, the close-fitting fabric outlined a tight and elegant body, and Victoria's face was slightly red when she saw the muscle lines showing under the thin shirt. The body's memory retraces the slenderness and strength of these arms.

Charles didn't have any thoughts now, and as soon as he saw Victoria, he asked directly:

"What did you and Elizabeth say when you met Archduke Stuart just now?"

Victoria is inexplicable.

"Aren't you just those social words, don't you watch them from beginning to end?" She thought that Charles was asking about the first time they had come to the meeting, and they were both with the queen at the time.

"It's not. I mean, before we came in, in the cloister outside the dormitory. ”

"At that time? We didn't see him, did we? ”

Victoria was wondering, and suddenly remembered something. His face became nervous, "What! You said that before you came in, Lord Stuart was near the cloister outside the dormitory? ”

Charles realized that there was indeed a problem and hurriedly asked.

Victoria took what she had said to Elizabeth, omitting of course some sarcastic remarks about Ranster's origins. “…… We—we didn't see Archduke Stuart at the time, he probably didn't hear it! ”

"Nope. I'm afraid he heard it from beginning to end. ”

Charles calculated the time, which coincided with the time when Lanster walked away alone, and immediately understood the reason for the change in Lanster's attitude.

He knew Victoria's character very well, and although Victoria only summarized the content of the sisters' conversation in a general way, he knew that when Victoria talked about Lancet behind her back, there would definitely not be many good things to say.

He carefully inquired about the conversation between Victoria and Elizabeth, and Victoria also knew the importance of the matter, and poured out the content of the conversation in detail, and after listening to it, Charles breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, Elizabeth's words, there is nothing out of the ordinary, Archduke Stuart is probably just expressing dissatisfaction, reassure him, this marriage should continue."

The Duchy of Stuart was the most insignificant of the Merlin subjects, but it involved the Meryl royal family and was an important pawn in the balance of the Empire's vassals.

Whether it is for the sake of maintaining stability or for the layout of the subject country, the emperor will carry out this marriage.

Charles knew the emperor's intentions for this marriage, and he also attached great importance to the task entrusted to him, and the situation that was originally in a good situation was disrupted by a few words from Victoria, and he couldn't help but be a little angry:

"The inner courtyard of the palace is full of eyes and ears, and you and Elizabeth talk privately, and you don't pay attention to it.

And what use do you say these things except to sow discord between Elizabeth and the Archduke Stuart? The affair between Grand Duke Stuart and Master Lynn is a rumor, and even if it is true, it is not good for Elizabeth if you say it! ……”

"Who knew that a big man would hide in the corner and eavesdrop on the lady's conversation, the man of the whole emperor has never heard of anyone doing such a thing...... Well, I know it's wrong, and I'll remind Elizabeth that I won't let her suffer in a daze. ”

Victoria was a little aggrieved and annoyed, but she knew that she was indeed wrong, and only after arguing strongly did she admit her mistake.

Charles's face softened slightly, but he didn't know that on the other side of the corner, Elizabeth was standing there, listening quietly for a while, bowing her head for a moment, and quietly walking away.

……

In the quiet of the bedroom, outside a shield filled with light elements, the sound of chewing was endless.

"Eat, you all eat!"

Master Don Quixote stuffed it into his mouth while not forgetting to share. Beckoned Lin An, Galileo and the two white-robed mages to eat together.

Knowing the temperament of Master Don Quixote, the two mages stood far away near the shield, asked the apprentice to fetch a plate of snacks, and ordered the apprentice to eat it, while they did not dare to stare at the situation inside the mask without the slightest slackness:

Master Don Quixote and Master Lynn can eat distractedly while the circle is running, but they can't.

Galileo, on the other hand, didn't seem to have heard Don Quixote at all.

In a corner of the dormitory, there is a set of afternoon tea tables and chairs.

After the two plates of nutty buns on the table were removed, Master Don Quixote tapped on the empty porcelain plate, on which another plate of matcha cake rolls and blueberry cream puffs appeared. The rich aroma can even smell a faint temperature, as if it has just been baked.

Master Don Quixote seemed to be hungry for a year and a half, and he kept eating.

His face was full of unshaven beard. His beard was covered with dim sum dregs, his skin was yellow, his eyes were so thick that he looked like he had painted smoky makeup, as if he hadn't taken a shower in years, and his greasy hair was tangled like a bird's nest. There was a certain smell coming from all over the body.

Sitting at the same table with this dignified diner, there is hardly anyone who will have an appetite.

But Lin An had been with him for a day, and he had become accustomed to his taste, and he had also understood the temperament of this master, this was a complete research maniac, if it weren't for Lin An's magic circle. Even if Yokjartan died, he couldn't be hooked out of the real room.

But this Master Don Quixote is second only to Master Rice in the ranking of the court archmage. Ranked 2nd:

If it weren't for his crazy character, with his status as a royal side, maybe he and Master Rice would have to switch positions.

There are many such research freaks in the mage community, and mages are the ones who are most adapted to this kind of character. Of course, Lin An didn't care, and sat leisurely on another chair and nibbled on cream hazelnuts. There was a pile of hazelnut shells piled up on the plate in front of him.

She didn't have anything to do in this hall, and those masters didn't worry about her coming to control the circle and help York Yadan to reject the elements in her body, but as the only person who had used this set of circles, she was asked to introduce her experience and monitor and assist, so she stayed in the hall.

But from beginning to end, she didn't have much to do except for the occasional move of her mouth according to the progress.

But she was not idle, the frequency of use of this set of magic circles was extremely low, could it be that once the real yàn was in front of him, Lin An also took out a real yàn codex, and according to the progress, from time to time to write down the number jù and changes.

"You're in good habits, hey, the table on here is interesting!"

Master Don Quixote stopped eating at some point, and at a glance he could see the simplicity and ease of understanding the form on Lin An's Codex, and said happily when he saw Hunting Heart, "Next time I will take you to be a real person, you will be my assistant!" ”

Lin An smiled.

The two white-robed mages and their apprentices on the side looked at Lin An strangely: they already knew that Lin An would be a member of the new court mage, and this was what the emperor himself said.

Master Don Quixote ignored the other people's reactions, and when Lin An agreed, he lowered his head and began to eat again.

He was eating some high-calorie foods such as cream and grease, and Lin An could already see that he was using a spell to store the nutrients of the food after eating a large amount of them in a special part of his body, and then these stored calories and nutrients could supply him for a long time to move—this master might not have eaten for a long time.

When the cream hazelnuts in front of Lin An were replaced with salted melon seeds, and then replaced with puff pastry peanuts, and half of the dishes were left, the shield in the middle of the dormitory buzzed.

The light element inside the shield suddenly condensed, emitting blazing light, Lin An had already prepared to put on a pair of sunglasses polished with black crystal, and Master Don Quixote reacted quickly to release an animal vision.

The other two mages and apprentices were caught off guard, and their eyes were stabbed by the sudden bright light, and their red eyes suddenly burst into tears, and they were temporarily blind, and only one of the apprentices let out a low cry.

The low cry was very short, and Lin An, who was wearing sunglasses, saw that while the apprentice was covering his eyes, he immediately bit his lip and closed it tightly.

Lin An is used to this.

Although she didn't have much contact with people in the palace, the palace was the place that best reflected the strict order of this civilized society.

Sometimes, there are many things that can be seen by others just from the order in which they enter, and there is always no shortage of people in the palace who have a clear eye and a heart to find the details.

Lin An stood up and observed the situation inside the shield without hurrying, nodded and said:

"It's over, a qiēshun lì."

"That's it?"

Master Don Quixote still looked dissatisfied, and didn't wait for the shield to completely darken. Having already come to the side of the shield, Lin An only felt a light wind sweeping her body, and then she also came to the side of the shield and was gently released.

Lin An was helpless, but he knew that Master Don Quixote was such a character.

Lin An sensed his motives when he cast the spell, so he didn't use his mental power to resist.

Otherwise, although the pendant has not yet arrived, the influence range of the pendant on Master Don Quixote is ten zhang, and Lin An's spiritual power is completely enough to protect her at such a short distance, and it is impossible to be swept away by a wind spirit hand of Master Don Quixote.

The light inside the shield was dimming, and the silhouette of Yokyadan was almost visible inside.

Master Don Quixote knocked on the shield. The shield disappeared silently, and the light element imprisoned inside escaped like countless starlight, revealing the Yorkiedans inside. Galileo immediately rushed over.

Yokoyadan was soaked in blood, as if most of the blood in his body had been lost, but in Lin An's sunglasses with the True Eye attached, his vitality was far stronger than before, and Lin An used his spiritual power to sense the concentration of elements in those bloods. Nodding with satisfaction:

"It's okay, those elements are basically excreted from the blood, and then it's a matter of blood replenishment and recuperation."

Master Don Quixote didn't hear it, and the mage beside him grabbed a huge crystal bottle in his hand, and the blood on the ground on York's body was being collected into the crystal bottle by an invisible force.

The two white-robed mages have a higher magic resistance. Having almost recovered from blindness, one pounced on Yokjadan to help Galileo deal with Yokjardan's injuries. One trembled and said to Master Don Quixote:

"Master, if you want this blood, I'm afraid you will have to report it to Your Majesty."

"Go, go!"

Master Don Quixote waved his hand impatiently, staring intently at the jug-sized crystal bottle, muttering something to himself. It seemed that no one could take the vial of blood away.

Lin An watched coldly.

She was not interested in the blood, and let Master Don Quixote collect not a single drop of blood from the ground. I thought that this master looked crazy, but in fact he was a person who understood in his heart.

The royal family valued the bloodline, the remnants of any bloodshed and wounds. As long as there are conditions, they will basically pack it back and not leave a single drop.

And although Lin An is not good at blood magic, he also knows that there are quite a few magic that need the assistance of blood, from the prophecy spell to find people, to the necromantic magic that curses and kills, not to mention that in memory, many witchcraft blood curse rituals are inseparable from blood at all.

Yokjadan was in a semi-comatose state, and the bleeding on his body was gathering on his fingers, and it looked like all ten fingers were bleeding.

Galileo on the side led people around him, smearing and infusing blood tonics, and after a while, Yokjardan's mind slowly came to his senses.

Although the nerves were invaded by severe pain all over his body, for the first time in so many days, Yokjadan felt that his life force was active again in his body.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the hem of a dark purple robe, and looking up at the hem of the robe, the beautiful black-haired girl was bowing down to look at him, and Galileo was standing beside her, staring at him.

When Yokjadan saw Lin An, his pupils first shrank, and then when he saw Galileo, he seemed to recall his situation, and his expression relaxed.

A slow female voice came into my ears.

"This magic circle, there will be a certain chance to change the affinity physique, increase the proportion of light elements in the magic pool, you look at your magic pool, there is no such sequelae, if it appears, I can only say that it is a pity."

Yokyadan didn't immediately go to see the magic pool, his voice was weak, but he said calmly: "...... I owe you my life. ”

"The two Majesties have already paid the price for you," Lin An said unhurriedly, "And I don't trade my life, you live, and it has nothing to do with me." ”

Yokyadan's gaze showed that Lin An's words had no effect on him, and what he believed in would not be changed by external objects.

Ridiculous royal pride.

Lin An didn't feel that Yokyadan was repaying the favor, maybe he meant it to be so, but Lin An didn't feel his respect for himself, and his reward was just a condescending return, without taking into account the thoughts and principles of the recipient.

Lin An ignored him anymore and nodded to the other white-robed mage and said:

"Alright, it's time to notify the people outside to come in. Also, I hope that by the time I go out, the forbidden pendant will be ready. ”

The white-robed man gave her a strange look, and had no objection to her envoy, and answered. Immediately walked to the door of the dormitory.

Forbidden pendants?

Yokotoan coughed a few times, Galileo hurriedly supported him, and said a few words in his ear, Lin An couldn't hear the content, but he could feel the change in Yokyadan's gaze behind him.

"An idiot who can't figure out who he is."

Master Don Quixote said coldly, "What's so good about this dog leash?" You like me to send you well. ”

He flew out of the sky to say a sentence, which was said to Lin An, and there was a lot of resentment in his words.

"It's not this falling chain that is holding you." Lin An refuted the ban on the pendant.

With the royal background of Master Don Quixote, where he went in this life. has cut off his connection with the Merlin royal family, and I am afraid that it is because of this that he hates this identity so much. It has become the appearance of today's research madman and sloppy king.

By the time the people outside the dormitory swarmed in, Yokoyadan had already been helped into the big bed.

As soon as the queen came to the bedside, she immediately took the upper half of his body into her arms, and struck him twice in anger on the back, remembering his weakness again. Hurriedly let go.

Yokojadan didn't struggle, let his mother, who was angry after being anxious, vent her anger, even if she was seen by many people, she didn't care about losing face:

In private, he can be rebellious and do everything, but in front of his mother. But it's an ordinary son.

Lin An was a little envious to see their mother-son affection revealed, but she didn't look at it for long, because the people who came in quickly blocked her view. Loud voices also filled her ears.

Master Don Quixote shook his hand and left, leaving two white-robed mages to explain the queen's condition.

He lived a long time, and his rank in the Merlin royal family, the one in the Sword Saint Mountain could compare with him, plus his own crazy character. Even in front of the emperor, he can say that he will shake his face.

"The Queen Mother. I hope to hire Master Lynn as my magical advisor. ”

Behind him, York's low but clear voice reached Lin An's ears through the chaotic questioning and speaking voices of everyone.

The people hugging around the luxurious bed immediately fell silent, and Lin An felt that she was being stared at, and she stopped.

"Can you tell me the reason?" The queen said kindly and gently.

"Master Lin saved me, and she is of the same rank as me, and her attainments are profound, so she must be an excellent advisor." Yokjardan said calmly, coughing lightly.

Lin An's face facing the door with his back to the big bed, a sneer floated, and he slowly turned his head back.

"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed, Jokjadan."

Odin's voice came from outside the door, and his figure also appeared at the door, his voice was low and steady, and there was an indescribable pressure in people's ears:

“…… In the days since you were injured, your father had canonized Master Lin as a court mage, and if you wanted to hire her as your magic advisor, you would probably need your father's consent. ”

The members of the court mage group can be called court mages outside, but the addition of ordinary white-robed mages will not reach the emperor's desk, let alone use the word "canonization", so although the name is vague, it is enough for people to understand the emperor's meaning.

Odin's words were well-reasoned, and it stands to reason that the reason for raising the emperor was enough to block Yokjardan's request.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and was about to echo or change the subject, but Yorkiadan spoke:

"Father, there are many masters as advisors, and Master Lin must have nothing to do. I think. Father wouldn't mind if I hired my lifesaver as an advisor—do you say yes, Mother?" ”

Although he was weak, his brain was not broken, and he did not question the actions of the emperor, who had never been canonized as a "court mage", but only transferred the decision to the empress.

The queen looked at York Yadan, her eyes shifted from York Yadan, to Lin An, and then to the face of the eldest son at the door, and she already smelled the subtle atmosphere.

The strangeness in her heart deepened, and she was thinking about how to answer, but she saw Rodiel, who was standing aside, suddenly wink at her.

"I'm sorry, Yokjadan, if you follow your life-saving reasons, I'm afraid that Master Lin will have to become my magic advisor first."

Rodiel's voice interjected lazily, and without waiting for everyone and Yokyadan to react, he quickly said, "In that case, I think that the wishes of Master Lin herself are the most important, so it is better for her to decide whose magical advisor she wants to be." ”

Everyone's eyes shifted again, gathering on Lin An to see what she would choose.

Unexpectedly, someone interjected again.

"If that's the case, then I'm afraid I'll have to step in. Ann is my best friend, and has helped me many times, and should be my court magic advisor—do you say, Ann? ”

Lancet nodded to the queen and spoke unhurriedly, calmly and with a smile on his face.

The queen smiled back, but her heart was already slightly relieved:

No matter why Odin and Yokjadan were fighting, but with Rodier and Lancet stirring up the situation, no matter what Master Lynn chosen, the atmosphere between the two sons faded.

(To be continued)
