The usually silent patio was crowded with soldiers in black armor, cold blades pointed at anyone who approached without permission, and a pair of expressionless eyes under the cold armor.

The mages stood far away in a corridor outside the patio, talking to each other, angry expressions and words of rage on their faces, while the captain of the black-armored soldiers did not hear it, and looked at anyone who tried to come forward with a blank face.

The spears crossed, and Leng Feng looked at him, stopping the two mages who tried to step forward again, and the captain of the black-armored soldier said coldly in a dry voice:

"Sorry, you didn't get the instructions to pass, you can't go over."

One of the mages looked depressed and said angrily: "That's the residence of our companions, what do you mean by the unauthorized blockade of the fortress!" What happened to Mage Ravia? ”

"Sorry, military secrets, can't be revealed."

The arguing mage blushed angrily, and pointed at the captain of the black armor with one hand, if it wasn't for the spear blocking in front of him, I am afraid that he would directly poke the captain of the black armor in the face, but the captain of the black armor is like a puppet, as long as the mage in front of him does not try to break through the blockade, he will turn a blind eye to the gaffe behavior of the mage in front of him-

For the imminent conflict in front of them, the captain of the black armor and his subordinates were not without pressure, and while secretly complaining in their hearts, they did not dare to show a trace of compromise and weakness, otherwise the cold-eyed mages not far away, as well as the more and more other medalists who were slowly gathering, would immediately press up and tear their blockade.

In the middle of the confrontation, the black armor captain's eyes moved slightly, and the mage in the dispute was also aware of the movement behind him.

They looked behind the mage and saw a squire trotting ahead to lead the way, and a mage James in a fiery red robe strode towards him, the movement they noticed was caused by the mages and other recipients behind them when they noticed that Master James was coming.

The honorees, who had been blocked by the soldiers, finally met the leader of their side. With a smile on their faces, they greeted each other.

But the etiquette of the recipients did not stop Master James's footsteps, the fiery red flying robes stopped in front of the spear of the black armor soldier, the black armor captain waved his hand, the soldier removed the spear, James glanced at the black armor captain coldly, and walked in with a more indifferent demeanor than the black armor captain.

Captain Blackarmor sweated slightly on his forehead, and he didn't dare to look directly at James until James's figure walked into Ravia's room, and Captain Blackarmor slowly looked up. His stiff fingers clenched his fists, and he stopped at the checkpoint with a blank face, motioning for the soldier to put down his spear.

It didn't take long for Master James to enter. Another attendant ran out in small steps, but instead of taking the direction of the patio, he trotted to the checkpoint on the side of the cloister, showed his token, and pedaled up the stairs.

Soon. The footsteps of going downstairs sounded again, only this time it became a duet, and the other extra footsteps were light and agile, as if they were women.

The master who quickly sketched out the footsteps in people's minds, and only a moment later, a black-haired female mage in a white robe appeared at the top of the stairs to verify their guess.

Lin An didn't stop either. He hurriedly glanced at the patio through the soldiers, and then followed the squire's guide into Ravia's room.

The attendant did not follow. Lin An himself pushed open the heavy beech door.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw James in a striking red robe and several high-ranking members of the fortress with unfamiliar faces, looking at the titles on their chests and the golden tassels on their shoulders, it was obvious that the most powerful people in the fortress were gathered here.

But James and several of the top brass of the fortress had their own corners. There is a distance of about two or three zhang in the middle, and the atmosphere of confrontation is very obvious.

Lin An took a half step back. He tapped his fingers twice more on the door.

In fact, there was no need for her to knock on the door, and several people in the room already knew about her arrival, but these two prompts still made them look away from each other's eyes and look at the visitor.

Lin An walked two steps under their gaze, turned slightly sideways and closed the door with his backhand, blocking a glance that was trying to peep behind the door, and then looked back at them one by one fearlessly, although the powerful spiritual power did not release oppression, but made their gaze involuntarily retract.

The situation under control, Lin An slowly spoke: "You are looking for me here, is there something wrong?" ”

As she spoke, her eyes wandered over the empty room, the owner of the room was no longer here, and her deep black pupils hid all the feelings, and no second person could guess her mood at this time.

"Master Ravia's disappearance at his residence, we suspect that his disappearance is closely related to the Assassins, and Master Lin is friendly with Master Ravia, so we ask you to help investigate......"

After being in the army for a long time, the way of speaking has become straightforward, and the high-level of the fortress who explained out loud did not speak politely, but his tone slowed down a little because of Lin An's gender relationship, but before he could finish speaking, Master James had already interrupted.

"Ravia's disappearance, whether he was killed or absconded, it is not possible to make a conclusion at this time, Grand Knight Griffonor is still cautious!" James said coldly.

"Wizard James wants to cover up the crime?"

Another bearded fortress executive said coldly, "We have determined the remnants of the stolen items in this room, and the disappearance of Master Ravia's disappearance at this time, whether it is the assassination of the thief or even the avalanche a few days ago, it is likely that he is inseparable!" ”

If it weren't for the avalanche, the Medal Recipient team wouldn't have been stationed in the Fortress, and the Treasure Thieves wouldn't have had the opportunity to find out the Fortress's level environment, leading to the Fortress being infiltrated, and even the treasure being stolen and the Supreme Commander being stabbed and seriously injured.

It happened without warning, and after the supreme commander, General Karim, was unconscious and unable to take charge, they found out that they had taken over a mess, and the movement of the matter alarmed the entire fortress, which was difficult to hide, and even directly led to the serious injury of the supreme commander, and the whole fortress regarded this matter as a great shame, and when they found a suspicious suspect, it was difficult to hide their anger.

"You can report the suspicion against Ravia without being sure of the facts.

I hope that Your Majesty will keep your senses and not let you be angered by the fact that you have blamed the results of your incompetence and dereliction of duty to the meritorious person he deigned to meet without evidence, and ordered you to be sent to the front line from the imperial capital overnight! ”

James sneered, raised his chin slightly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a malicious arc, and looked at the few people in front of him from the slightly narrowed eyes with a cold gaze.

The color of several high-level fortresses changed, and two high-level green tendons burst out. It seemed that he was about to curse in disregard of his manners in the next moment, but the chief Knight of Griffondor, who was at the head, gritted his teeth and stopped his men.

James's words, though full of malice, are indeed possible-

The other opposite of Emperor Shangao is that he is far away from the center of power, and in terms of influence on the center of power, all the relationships between them in the entire fortress are probably not as good as the James mage who was born in the Blue Lion family in front of him, not to mention, the patio outside is still gathered by the group of surviving honorees. These people, whether in public or private, will not sit idly by and watch the honor of some of these laureates be tarnished.

Moreover, the imperial capital ordered the intention of welcoming back these honorees. They also saw very clearly that under such a political situation, His Majesty would never be happy to see that there was a demolition of the stage, especially when there was no direct evidence of the matter.

Otherwise, there are traitors among the recipients whom His Majesty personally deigned to meet, and this is a high-profile award. Hasn't it become a joke across the continent?

The Griffondor's face changed several times, he looked at James who was squinting and sneering, and asked in a pressed heart: "Then how does Lord James think this matter should be resolved?" ”

"Your Excellency!"

His men exclaimed in disbelief, only to be swept away by a Griffondor's glance, suggesting that they were calm and patient.

James turned a deaf ear to the objections of others. I looked at Griffondo twice, and I was a little impressed.

For James, who came from the Blue Lion family, judging the political situation has become an instinct. But Griffonor was able to suppress his anger under his poisonous tongue and figure it out, much to his surprise.

Therefore, his tone softened slightly, after all, Griffondor's existence of zài showed that there were still zài in this fortress with a clear mind, so that he would not feel that he was communicating with a group of stubborn pigs.

"Blocking messages. It is strictly forbidden to speak and minimize the impact of the matter. As for the recipients, I will try my best to appease their grievances,"

James said lightly in a businesslike manner, "You can report the details of this matter, but if you want to report it secretly, I will also personally meet His Majesty after the imperial capital to explain it in detail - of course, you can not do what I suggested, but you will be responsible for the consequences!" ”

In the last sentence, he sneered slightly in a nasal voice.

Gryffindor's fists tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, he finally knew why James, who had negotiated well in the past few days, suddenly changed his attitude and became cold, it turned out that in his eyes, since they pursued and searched with great fanfare last night, a series of actions that disturbed the entire fortress were stupid behaviors!

Gryffindor was depressed in his heart, but seeing James's fearless attitude, he had to admit in his heart that the other party's opinion was indeed right.

At this time, Lin An, who had been ignored for a long time, spoke out to break the embarrassment.

"So there's nothing to do with me now?" Lin An said lightly, "So, can I say goodbye?" ”

Her expression was faint, her fair and indifferent complexion reflected her white robe, and on the surface, she couldn't see what she felt about the inside story of the audit, and even when she mentioned Ravia, her expression did not fluctuate at all.

James glanced at her, his eyes flashed with different colors, he flicked his fingers on his robe, and glanced at Gryffindor and the others with a smile, "Since I have reached an agreement with you, then I will also retire, the convoy is about to start, and I still have a lot to prepare." ”

Gryffindor and the others didn't show any signs, and James ignored their reactions and left Ravia's room with Lin An.

Walking to the corner of the stairs where no one was around, Lin An suddenly heard James's voice in his ears, his voice was low, which was obviously different from Leng Rui when he was arguing with Griffondo and others before, but it was even more stressful:

"What the hell happened to Ravia?"

James felt Lin An's movements pause slightly, so small that he almost missed it, but a cold female voice came from his ear, "He's dead." ”

"You killed it." Declarative tone.

"It's me." The female voice is still faint.

"Why?"

"Avalanche."

Hearing this expected answer, James's eyes twinkled.

"I'll report this matter to Your Majesty."

"Whatever you want." Lin An said lightly.

In James's afterglow, during this short conversation, Lin An kept looking ahead, and didn't even leave him a trace of afterglow-

"But when I leave here, I won't admit that I said that."

Leaving these words, Lin An pushed open the door of his room, and the closed door panel blocked James's view.
