Chapter 1177: The Prince Asks to See
"What? You want me to send back the diplomatic ambassadors of the Holy Empire? ”
Lin An didn't expect that the Saxons were looking for her not for the Azure Spear, but for this.
Saxon asked: "Questions?" ”
Lin An thought for a while, "Of course not." But wouldn't it seem too diligent to be so proactive? ”
"Of course, it wasn't me who took the initiative, now the demon hunting list is already fermenting and expanding its influence, and it is we who have the initiative and moral upper hand."
Saxon laughed, and his clothes could not hide the vibration of his thick and strong chest muscles:
"However, Prince Stattu got the news from somewhere, knowing that you have the ability to teleport from a distance, and as a representative hero who actively fights against the demons, I don't think you would mind doing a small favor if you get enough pay, right? I think he's going to see you in a private capacity -- you know, in an official capacity, he's going to pay a lot of money. ”
...... "don't know where to get the news"?
Lin An raised his eyebrows.
She felt like she had understood.
With a thoughtful turn of his eyes, Lin An nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, I think I know what to do." ”
This matter is just an appetizer, and after saying that, Lin An is ready to be questioned.
Sure enough, the Saxons soon asked about the Azure Spear Oath.
“…… His Majesty Gucci told me in a summons that His Majesty had entered the spatial passage and asked me to keep an eye on his token's reaction. ”
"I don't think it's for nothing that the Azure Spear made such a sudden move, so. What is the cause and effect of the whole thing? ”
Sweeping away the slightly relaxed atmosphere before, Saxon crossed his hands and fingers, built an arched bridge on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked.
Lin An smiled bitterly and roughly recounted the conversation with the Azure Spear.
“…… In this way, the conversation with you is just a fuse, and before that, the Azure Spear Crown has already had a huge rift with other Crowns because of the Demon Clan's killing of prisoners? ”
Saxon didn't expect this to be the case.
He quickly realized the severity of the situation. His Majesty Gucci didn't mention it. If you sue me about this, it will not enter the ears of a third party. ”
This must not be preached.
Otherwise, the image of the legends as the pillars of the human race will immediately collapse.
This doesn't matter to the legends, and the reputation is for the powerhouses of their level. Insignificant. But for those below the legend. The psychological dam may collapse as a result, which is harmful to the overall situation.
In addition, legends will never like people who pass on the inside story between them.
Lin An knew that the Saxons were measured. Nodding slightly, "I won't sue a third person about this matter." ”
If it weren't for the identity of the Saxons, Lin An would not rashly tell him about the dispute between the legends.
After a pause, Lin An said: "Actually, from the other side, the departure under the crown of the Azure Spear is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
"Not bad." Saxon also happened to think of this aspect, and bowed slightly, "The departure of the Azure Spear Crown may not have the intention of actively avoiding strife - the ten divided legendary crowns may not be as important as the nine crowns with the same attitude. ”
"That's what you said." Lin An hooked his lips.
"That's what I said." Saxon said lightly.
Lin An looked at him and deeply felt the change of the throne to a person:
In just a few months, the Saxon has completed the transformation from crown prince to emperor, and the teenager who was provoked and enraged by her in the past is now completely a political animal.
In terms of the help of the Azure Spear to the Merlin Empire in the past, the Saxon commented like this, no matter how high-sounding it was, it couldn't hide the coldness;
But from Emperor Merlin's point of view, he did so quite right:
In the case that the Azure Spear went to the Demon Realm and had little hope of survival, the Saxons, as the Emperor of Merlin, could no longer express their dissatisfaction with this matter, and should take the initiative to change their attitude and maintain the same position with the Terran Legends, both internally and externally, to make people feel that the Legends are still closely related to the Merlin Empire, so as to avoid the subsequent impact of the Azure Spear's departure from this matter and transfer it to Merlin.
As for face, as for affection?
- No, that's not what a worthy Merlin Emperor should care about.
Lin An thought about the possible reaction of the Saxons and expected that the results would not deviate too much, but the fact that the Saxons changed so quickly still surprised Lin An.
Yes, Lin An understands the Saxon approach and transposes, and she will probably do the same.
But perhaps influenced by the generous and heroic oath of the Azure Spear before, Saxon's approach, which used to surprise her that "the collaborator is finally qualified", made Lin An feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.
However, Lin An was still very public and private, and did not expose her inner feelings in the slightest - she knew very well that her discomfort was greatly affected by the meaningful words of the Azure Spear before leaving, and had little to do with the Saxon approach.
“…… Pure mind? ”
Lin Anxin said:
"No wonder, most legends don't have much secular **, the more powerful the legend, the more they like to hide - it seems that too much contact with secular power and strife is really not much good for those who have advanced to a high level."
The Azure Spear's gift was like a heavy stick, freeing Lin An from the impetuous mentality of touting and becoming a hero of the Terran race from all sides.
It's not that Lin An was really moved by the restoration suggestions of Master Yu Lai and others.
But no matter what, Lin An is still a human being, with the vanity and desire for power that normal people have.
As much as possible, she can distinguish the pros and cons and help her restrain the pursuit of those **, but in this environment where the stars are surrounded and everyone is sought after, even the half-step legend who used to look up to her will respect and obey her, and the Merlin Emperor above the tens of thousands of people has to consult her about everything, and even the legend treats her differently, so that she can stand on a level close to them and look down on all beings - to say that in such a situation, there is no impetuousness and stupidity in the state of mind, that is a saint.
"The world's influence on the state of mind is like a scratch on the surface of a mirror. Although it cannot be seen, it will increasingly distort and change the image reflected in it, and it will be difficult to restore the past in the passage of time. ”
Back at the mansion, Lin An reflected on what she had done during this period of time, and while secretly frightened, she was also glad that she woke up not too late - although she was somewhat frightened, this was inevitable in her daily frequent contact with people, and she generally maintained her true heart and did not change fundamentally.
Thinking of this, Lin An took out a diary-like codex dedicated to recording mood changes. Write down this touch and the Azure Spear's parting words.
It's been her habit all along.
After writing. Lin An flipped through some of the previous notes, recalled the state of mind when he wrote down his feelings, and for a moment he thought about it, and fell into his own thinking space.
Doing so is the same as meditation. It's all about self-adjustment of the state of mind.
Get out of your contemplation. Lin An naturally obeyed his feelings. Start meditating.
It's just that unlike the silent thinking in an enclosed space before, meditation is a state in which one focuses on communicating with the elements of the outside world in a state of empty thinking. Forgetting external objects and even self-existence can achieve another effect of adjusting the mind. After most mages meditate, they have a feeling that their brains are exceptionally clear and their minds are extremely sharp.
In this sense, the group of mages is known for their intellect and wisdom, and the reason for this has to do with meditation.
When his spiritual power and magic power were restored to their full strength, Lin An did not continue to cultivate, but ended his meditation in obedience to his feelings, and took out several books such as "The Gate of Space", "A Thousand Rune Genealogy", and "The Bridge between the Arbitrary Gate and the Law of Space - The Twelve Twin Spiral Formulas of Keshubis", and began to deduce the structure of today's spells.
[Any Gate] This fourth-level spell is of great help to the battle, Lin An has been studying it since he mastered the portal, even if he went to the Red River Plateau later, he did not pause for a day, it has been more than a month.
Because studying this spell does not conflict with the mastery of the portal, but because of the deepening understanding of the laws of space, the proficiency of the portal is doubled.
In general, it is very nerve-wracking to master a new spell, especially a space-based spell, because the space spell model involves very delicate and tedious formula deduction and calculation.
After all, the so-called comprehension of the law is a very ethereal and uncontrollable thing - the law is there, it is real and imaginary, it constitutes all things, if it can get its favor, of course it is lucky, if it does not care about you, it is not careful, you can only play the role of a diligent and lame suitor, with flowers, money and sweet words to approach this beauty, all kinds of hooks, drops of water.
Otherwise, how can we say that man is an intelligent creature who makes good use of tools?
Of course, the various deduction formulas and theorems are not the laws themselves, but just tools, or ladders, developed by mages in order to pursue the "beauty" of the law.
As one of the higher laws, the law of space is the famous "tsundere beauty".
Although Lin An thinks that his talent is not bad, he is still tormented to death by various theories and formulas derived from the laws of space, which is still on the premise that he has deeply consolidated and refined the foundation of space geometry and mathematics in the previous task of composing and painting puzzles.
In all fairness, Lin An's progress is not very slow.
She had already mastered the sixth-level spell of the portal, and then went back to learn the relatively simple fourth-level spell of any gate, the difficulty was more than a step lower than that of other beginners, but due to factors such as time, Lin An's previous progress was only about a quarter.
But when the mage was studying magic, he always felt that there was not enough time, Lin An felt that his brain was very clear today, and there was no urgency in his body, so he did not set the time, and let himself be immersed in the ocean of spatial theories and formulas.
When he put down the pen again, Lin An rubbed his sore wrist, and when he inadvertently looked up, he found that the light leaking from the curtains was faintly bright, and he didn't realize that it was another day of dawn.
She waved her hand and released a magic clock, and it turned out that a day and a night had passed.
Lin An ate the pill in the middle of the study, and he didn't feel hungry, but his brain was a little swollen, and as soon as he returned to reality, his thoughts were withdrawn from the previous formula ocean, and he couldn't go back to the previous state.
The gain from this day and night of preoccupying oneself in the study of the spell model is certainly huge.
Instead of looking through the hundreds of paper drafts on the table, Lin An knew very well that the spell model structure of the Arbitrary Gate had taken a big step forward, and she had solved the three most difficult structural analyses in a row in one day and one night, and the efficiency was more than ten times that of the past.
According to the comparison of the learning progress of the portal, Lin An estimated that the model structure of any gate had advanced to five-sixths, and if she was given two or three days, Lin An estimated that she would be able to cast the first arbitrary door.
The previous state has disappeared, but the tiredness is surging.
This is mental fatigue, no matter how strong the body recovery is, it can't be avoided lin an didn t plan to continue his research, rubbed his eyebrows, and rattle called bedika.
After eating some cereal porridge and accompanying fruits, the goat's milk was freshly squeezed that day, and after being boiled, it was cooked by the cook's unique concoction, and some fresh almonds were put - Lin An drank the goat's milk, remembered one thing, and asked: "Did anyone or invite the invitation to the door yesterday?" ”
There are many kinds of invitations received by the Earl's Palace, Lin An never pays attention to them, he has seen them before, but now he basically doesn't look at them, and they are all rejected by Bedica's ghostwriting, for this reason, Bedicka's housekeeper has won the trust of Master Lin in the rumors, and she is quite dignified when she walks outside, and even many big nobles recognize her.
Bedika also lived up to Lin An's attention, knowing that there must be a reason why she suddenly asked for an invitation.
Bedika quickly searched for Lin An's whereabouts in the past two days, and compared with the content of yesterday's invitation, he replied without a pause:
"Yes. Most of them were ordinary invitations to the festive ball, with Prince Cyril, Prince Charles, and the Bencents being the heavier ones - in addition, Prince Stattu, the diplomatic envoy of the Holy Empire, sent to the door to ask for a private meeting with you in the near future. ”
Hearing the last sentence, Lin An shrugged his eyebrows, and Bedica knew that he had guessed correctly.
Sure enough, Lin An put down the cup and said, "The rest should reply as usual, as for Prince Statu...... Did he send someone to stuff you with money? ”
Bedika's heart jumped, "Take it." ”
"Look at the way you look, he doesn't give much?"
"That's half the way it is." Bedika said honestly, "I didn't think it was out of range, so I took it." ”
"Don't be afraid, I don't blame you." Lin An smiled, "He is worthy of being a diplomatic envoy, and he is well versed in this kind of 'money stuffing' rule." ”
This kind of "private income" of the aristocratic butler is the default unspoken rule, the aristocratic butler is attached to the master of the service, and is nothing after leaving the master, so as long as it is a sober housekeeper, how much bribes are given, the loyalty will not waver, but will cause the opposite effect because of the amount of money given.
As a diplomatic ambassador, Prince Stattu's housekeeper is the first threshold he must face in carrying out "political transactions", and "buying" the housekeeper has of course long been cultivated to the master level.
The thickened "red envelope" for Bedika still had an effect, otherwise, his private request would not have been handed to Lin An at all.
Because of his request to meet in private, it has long surpassed the friendship between Lin An and him.
