The rear camp of the Chinese army, the third floor of the Mage Tower.

In the dark room, the torch burned brightly, and the image of a red-robed mage appeared in the jumping red flames, the hot air made the image twist slightly, and the male voice of the statement echoed in the thin air of the room.

“…… That's how it happened, and I think it's necessary to send the message back as soon as possible. ”

"James, do you think her word is to be believed?"

Rheinthal stripped off his heavy robes and inner armor, and stood in front of the torch in a warrior's civilian clothes, his fair face shining brightly by the firelight, but his blue eyes were as calm as blue ice.

"Judging from her reactions after the avalanche, at least the avalanche has nothing to do with her - of course, I can't rule out the possibility of her acting, but it doesn't help me,"

The figure jumping in the firelight raised his chin slightly, and snorted, "You know, in front of people like us, it's more useful not to do more than to do more, I don't think my vision is so bad that I can't even tell the basic truth from the fake - if her acting skills are really good enough to be that kind of Cheng dù, then I will admit it!" ”

Reinthal chuckled, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and nodded: "Okay, I know, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will arrange it." ”

After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and added, "You people still have half a month to go, and they should be able to reach the Gunt line!" The second batch of honorees sent by my side to replenish the medalists had just set off ten days ago, and even if they traveled day and night, I am afraid that they would be about a month slower than you. ”

Most of the first batch of recipients were missing, and it was a tacit decision to replace the second batch of recipients in order to complete the long-arranged award ceremony.

James couldn't sway the decisions of the upper echelons, so he could only express his dissatisfaction in a faint and displeased tone, "A month? A month later, maybe those companions who stayed in the fortress. It's time to catch up! ”

"But what the nobles of the imperial capital and the people of Merlin want to see at the award ceremony are not a group of wounded, sick and disabled generals with crutches wrapped in injured legs." Rheinthal's answer was sensible and cold, not unexpected by James.

James snorted coldly, and the flames around him jumped violently, and the images in the flames disappeared without saying goodbye.

The torch is extinguished.

A moment ago, there was a hot and bright dark room, and the temperature dropped suddenly, only a puddle of ashes remained on the torch stand in the middle, and the warmth was slightly emanated.

The long-range communication was suddenly interrupted, and Rheinthal looked helpless. But he had long been accustomed to his friend's willfulness, so he just shook his head invisibly and turned to call the mage who was waiting outside to come in.

At this time. The flame in front of Rheinthal suddenly ignited, and this time it was not a red fire, but a dazzling golden flame, and powerful fluctuations forced people to come, domineering to expel a qiē color. In an instant, everything in the room is reflected into a piece of brilliant gold.

Rheinthal was slightly startled and turned to look, and at the same time, the mage who was outside and felt the abnormal fluctuations in the room also ignored Rheinthal's secret message, and slammed the door in, and the two of them happened to see the figure that gradually materialized in the golden flames.

The white robe of the man in the golden flame was like gold, and the strange gold patterns on the pendant of the robe danced like flames. He had a young and handsome face, a staff taller than a human in his hand, and features brown hair and blue eyes and peach blossom eyes. In a certain way, among all the parents who have young and suitable daughters in the imperial capital, it can be said that everyone knows it.

Rheinthal lived in the imperial capital for a long time in his early years, so naturally he would not have met this famous ** master in the imperial capital, and knew that although the Excellency in front of him looked younger than him. But in terms of age, he was already from his grandfather's generation - of course. In the case of His Excellency, age was not the main reason for his esteemed status.

The distance between the two places is more than 1,000 miles, and Mourinho has no communication props in his hand, so he casts a spell with his bare hands to cut into the communication torch of the mage tower, which makes the image a little delayed - Mourinho's image appeared in the golden flame for more than a dozen breaths, and the effect of this delay is transmitted to the other side, Mourinho turned his head and lowered his eyes, as if he saw Rheinthal in front of him.

"It's you Rhine! I said how come someone keeps occupying the torch passage and keeps me from cutting in! ”

Reinthal smiled wryly, raised his hand and waved, and the white-robed mage who had broken in before bowed to Mourinho in the forbidden golden flame and retreated consciously.

"Your Excellency Mourinho, if you want to find Master Lin, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, she has already joined the medal team returning to the imperial capital more than a month ago, and now I am afraid that she is about to arrive in Gaunt City."

Rheinthal bowed slightly and said calmly.

The image slowed for a moment, and then he saw Mourinho's pair of flying sword eyebrows slightly gathered in the middle, and his narrow peach blossom eyes looked Rheinthal up and down, as if to gauge the truth of his words, and after confirming it, a slightly strange and complicated expression passed on his face, and he seemed to whisper a sentence to himself, but Rheinthal couldn't hear it clearly through the flames.

After listening to Mourinho's muttering, his brows were lowered a little deeper, and his tone was not as pleasant and relaxed as before, and he resumed the condescending attitude that the master was accustomed to, and commanded in a light tone:

"Since she has returned, then you will send a word back to the imperial capital for me."

"Master, please speak." Rheinthal bowed slightly again and listened.

"'I hope that any decision related to Lin, the lords of the imperial capital, can think twice before making a decision'!"

Mourinho's tone is low, and there is a calmness in it that cannot be ignored by the high-ranking person.

"-'I hope that any decision related to Lin, the lords of the imperial capital, will think twice before making a decision'......"

Reinthal repeated this meaningful sentence, his blue eyes flickered slightly, but he did not immediately agree, but bowed down again and asked, "Master, is this sentence going to be sent back in your name?" ”

Rheinthal couldn't find a flaw in his attitude, but how could Mourinho fail to see his obvious temptation, but for a strong man of his level, they no longer needed to take into account the prying eyes of most of the rhetoric in the social situation - their lives were so long that even the highest people in the worldly power could not restrain them much most of the time, so he had long been accustomed to not taking such temptations seriously.

Therefore, Mourinho only glanced at Rheinthal and said calmly:

"No, that's what all of us, including Gabriel, meant, all this time. I've been in touch with all of them. ”

Shock flashed in Rheinthal's eyes.

The "everyone" Mourinho was referring to, of course, he knew who he was referring to, and since Mourinho was so specific that even Gabriel Sword Saint, who had always been cold and withdrawn and focused on cultivation, said it, then his words could not be false.

This also explains the reason why Mourinho has not been summoned back for a long time, so he missed Master Lin - the masters are distributed on the frontline battlefield, their whereabouts are uncertain, and they are hundreds of miles apart, even if Mourinho is a ** division, he wants to contact everyone one by one without a special communication tool, it is not something that can be done in a short time.

But Mourinho did it distracted by the stalemate. It also shows the importance of Venerable Lin in the minds of him and the masters.

"Master, are you sure you want to send this sentence back in the name of your masters?" Rheinthal confirms again. Countless thoughts crossed my mind.

"Do you have questions?" Mourinho's voice was cold.

"Don't dare,"

Reinthal saluted respectfully, with a perfect gesture, but not humble, "Since it is the meaning of the masters." In the next meeting, this sentence will be transmitted back to the imperial capital in its entirety. ”

***

Whew――

An invisible arc shot out from the green fingertips, drawing an invisible arc in space, but suddenly twisted halfway to the target, shooting diagonally towards the tent felt cloth.

The fur felt cloth, so thick that it could not even be blown by the wind and snow, groaned defenselessly. A large mouth half an arm's length was opened, and cold wind blew in through the breach.

There was a crackling sound outside the curtain, as if something had broken. Then from outside the felt cloth came a surprised question:

"Your Excellency?"

Lin An was undecided, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and found that because of this accident, that unpredictable inspiration disappeared from his mind, and the past few days of groping and casting spells were real. This situation has happened many times, and Lin An knows that it will be difficult for him to grasp that feeling in the future. I simply put it down for the time being, lifted the felt cloth and walked out.

Outside the felt curtain was John, who was guarding with a sword, and since that day of self-examination, he set out again, and without the guards on the road, Johnm began to fulfill his duty as a follower.

"Next time, you better stop standing outside the curtain."

The accident just now startled Lin An.

Since the glimmer of inspiration when he found out that he comprehended the law appeared again a few days ago, he has been closed for several days, this is the first time that Lin An has deviated so much from the empty spell, if this spell similar to space cutting directly hits the human body, the consequences can be terrifying enough, if the follower he has finally obtained replaced his enemy and becomes the first to receive it, it will really be a big oolong.

Lin An looked John's up and down, "Are you okay?" ”

John was a little uncomfortable, he didn't know that he had just passed by the mortal danger, and when the spell was activated just now, he didn't have a sense of crisis at all, but he suddenly lined up a large curtain and the food that fell from the hands of the attendant in front of him, which reminded him of the truth of the matter.

The waiter who delivered the meal was crying, looking at the plates and food that had fallen to the ground inexplicably in front of him, completely unaware of the cause of this unwarranted disaster, and was apologizing helplessly, while squatting down to clean up the mess on the ground.

Not many people saw this scene, but there were still some apprentices and attendants passing by nearby who cast curious glances, and when they saw a white-robed female mage standing there, they withdrew their gazes one after another.

Lin An waved his hand and said to the attendant: "Forget it, this has nothing to do with you, you just said that I accidentally broke it by casting a spell, and let someone send another one." ”

As if he had been pardoned, the attendant thanked him again and again, and neatly cleaned up the mess on the ground and retreated.

From the other side of the camp came the singing, the melody rather light, which was very rare on the ice field, and then the singing was drowned out in a cacophony of echoes, the sound of which was unusually lively.

Lin An didn't show up for a while, and he didn't know the source of the singing, and after listening to the sound for a while, he asked suspiciously: "Who is singing over there?" So natured! ”

"Didn't we come across a caravan coming out of the back slope of the canyon more than half a month ago? They followed our team for more than half a month, got into contact with some people in the team, and came in, and now it should be the people of the caravan who are giving the party a lively atmosphere! ”

John replied.
