Chapter 1087 - Welcome Master
Dispatch a full-scale war mobilization!
Lin An didn't expect this day to come so soon.
She relayed Gucci's words to the Emperor, who appeared calm:
"It's okay, I'm almost ready."
After all, the emperor, who had a long life and had intended to seize the hegemony of the mainland, was much calmer than Lin An in the face of war.
Lin An also calmed down.
Modern people in peacetime have a great gap from war, but Lin An has already experienced the war on the northern front.
Wasn't most of the things she did after coming out of Babel just for this day?
In the final analysis, the sealing plan is only a glimmer of possibility to block the invasion of the demons, and the strategic purpose of this plan is actually to reduce the flowering of the demons and expand the battle line.
As for completely curbing the invasion of the demons, so that they could not enter the Muse Continent, neither the Guardian nor Lin An felt that the chances were very small.
After all, Lin An came from an era that believed in collective quantity.
When a race is united and blows the horn of war, Lin An doesn't think that anything can stop them.
Just like the two big wars that changed the world pattern in the previous life.
What's more, Gucci has now sued Lin An with another possibility:
This war is not only the needs of the demons, but also the needs of the demon gods, or the gods.
Indeed, if the goddess of nature has laid the groundwork for her resurrection, will the third generation of gods, who are her natural enemies, sit back and watch her resurrection?
This war seems to have been caused by Hades the Great, but who knows if Hades the Great was deliberately connived at by the Demon God to get an excuse to force the Demons to launch an all-out war?
This is an old trick of the gods.
The goddess of nature can interfere with the Crane plane, so can't the gods interfere with the demon realm?
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the war of aggression between the human and demon races against each other usually occurs at the lowest point of the elemental tide, and it should not be this time at all!
It is too much of a coincidence that the goddess of nature has just shown signs of divine resurrection, and the demonic calamity is about to befall.
Lin An's own fate was interfered with by the gods, wouldn't Hades the Great?
Ye Si's crossing and the various experiences behind it, how weird it looks!
Although it has long been speculated that the war between the two races is a game between the second and third generations of gods, and the fate of the two worlds has been interfered with by those great beings—
But speculating and actually being in it feel completely different.
Especially what happened to Ye Si, which made Lin An feel a kind of coldness of the rabbit and the fox.
Pursing her lips, Lin An thought coldly, she would never allow herself to fall into that situation!
……
The war mobilization had nothing to do with Lin An, the emperor's ancestors and grandsons were busy, but Lin An had nothing to do for a while, and returned to the Earl's Palace.
Having a sense of crisis that the gods were behind the war behind him, Lin An retreated and cultivated as soon as he returned, promoting the progress of spell deduction and the fusion of external demon sources.
["Ann! ”】
Finishing another meditation, Titi's voice sounded in her heart.
["What's the matter? ”】
"Those people are coming. ”】
The Hidden Inheritance is finally here!
In the darkness, Lin An's eyes became bright.
and William stayed outside the city, not only just in case and to avoid being served in a pot, but also for another purpose, which was to wait for the arrival of the hermitage.
["Don't show your face yet, and secretly observe their movements. ”】
["Hmm! ”】
The hermit inheritance is near and far, and the relationship is not completely harmonious, so it is impossible for them to arrive collectively, and those who come now should only be the vanguard.
Lin An naturally would not come forward to greet these people.
It's not the hermit that is taking the initiative now.
Lin An also did not contact Buyulai.
She had to maintain a certain sense of mystery in front of Biyulai, and too much contact was not in line with Lin An's purpose.
Lin Antong Guò Soul Contract, which confirmed that most of the people who had inherited the hermit had not yet arrived in the imperial capital, and that they had only come to a small hermit inheritance.
There are only two masters and apprentices left in this hermit inheritance, and they have long since declined, and there are not even archmages in the contemporary era, but the hermitage is close to the imperial capital, so it came early.
They didn't feel Lin An's prying eyes at all, and they didn't seem to know that the oath could allow Lin An to fully grasp their movements, and they didn't hide it at all in the conversation, and they didn't know much about the oath like the three major inheritances, and they had more scruples.
At the same time, Lin An also felt the convenience of the oath.
More than a hundred mages opened their souls, and Lin An could grasp their movements, thoughts, and even life and death at any time—a kind of Cheng dù, which was not much different from a god.
This feeling of being on top and in control of the fate of others can be addictive.
In particular, these more than 100 people are not weak, among them, there are strong people who are at the same level as Lin An, or even more powerful.
The contract has been reached, maybe it doesn't matter if the contract is not terminated at all?
This thought flashed through Lin An's mind.
Then she gave up on her luck.
If it weren't for the demigod fellow Yan Sù who had warned about the danger of the soul contract, this sharp weapon that could completely hold the hidden inheritance in the palm of his hand, Lin An was really reluctant to give up.
Another four days passed.
The people of the hidden inheritance have basically rushed to the imperial capital.
Lin An was the one who held their fate in his hands, and although a qiē happened suddenly, everyone did not dare to neglect her orders.
Those who did not arrive were mainly some young disciples who had traveled abroad, and they were too far away from the imperial capital to arrive in a short period of time.
By this time, the all-out war mobilization had been issued.
The heralds galloped on their horses, with flags on their backs, and loudly spread the news of the impending demon disaster to all the villages and towns, and the conscription order had begun to spread from parts of Merlin to the whole territory.
The entire imperial capital has entered the three-pole war alert, the price of food has risen rapidly, and the entry and exit at the city gate have become much stricter.
In this case, the appearance of a large group of strange mages can easily attract unnecessary attention.
Therefore, the hermit lineage did not enter the city, but sent a few people to the city to inquire about the current situation, and most of them were stationed in a small valley outside the city.
The valley is located deep in the mountains, inaccessible, with few specialties and few wild beasts, and even hunters will not set foot in it.
Moreover, this is not a strategic place, nor is it the territory of the Sword Saint Mountain or the Royal Secret Magic Order, and with the cover of the archmage's spells, the mages can even use the food making technique to conjure up, and they don't even need to go into the city to buy supplies, so naturally they won't leave a trace.
Therefore, in a short period of time, no one noticed that such a group of mages of unknown origin appeared near the imperial capital.
……
Lin An saw that the people were almost concentrated, so he entered the palace to see the emperor.
"The Hidden Inheritance?" The emperor was shocked, "How can you drive them?" ”
"You don't have to care about this, I just need your words, if the people of the hidden inheritance are willing to be born, do you want them?"
"How many of them are there?" Saxon asked.
His attitude towards Lin An has recovered, and even because of Michelle, he took the initiative to talk a little more.
"Sixty-two, of course, eleven of them are archmages." Lin Andao.
Both the emperor and the Saxon's breathing were slightly rapid.
Lin An can fully understand.
In terms of proportion, the proportion of masters of the hidden lineage, compared to the general level, is really shocking!
They are rarely born, and they have always been shrouded in a veil of mystery for thousands of years, and outsiders have vaguely deduced that the hidden inheritance is profound and should not be underestimated, but the real specific number is still shocking.
"They all volunteered? What does it cost the royal family? The Emperor asked.
"Most of them will be voluntary, but if the royal family and them have a history problem left behind, it's not within my guarantee."
Lin An added a proviso and continued:
"As for the price, it should be similar to the previous elder group, you can discuss it yourself, and I won't interfere."
"Hidden lineages are rarely born, and there is not much contact between the royal family and them."
The emperor said, hesitating.
The cake painted by Lin An is very large, and it is impossible not to covet it, but the price offered is too low, which always makes the emperor feel unstable.
But if Lin An is trying to install people, it is unlikely.
Merlin's current system has long been complete, even if a person from the hidden inheritance joins the Royal Secret Order, the influence is very limited, and no matter how high the status of the archmage is, it is impossible to interfere with the military headquarters and government decrees.
As for the garrison of the imperial capital, although the Amber Tower and the Emerald Tower are an important part of the protection of the imperial capital, the supreme authority of the two magic towers is in the hands of the royal family, and even the previous elder group only has the right to control and can be taken back at any time.
Therefore, no matter from which point of view, Lin An moved out so many archmages, except for the lack of manpower, there was no practical benefit at all.
Lin An naturally guessed the emperor's suspicions.
It's not about trust, it's about an imperial instinct.
If she catches a big pie out of thin air, she will first wonder if the pie is poisonous.
"You let me think about it first, or meet with them." The Emperor said.
"That's fine."
Lin An is not in a hurry.
Anyway, the emperor will definitely agree.
After Rice and the others left, most of the royal secret magic group and the court mage group were empty, and the archmage has now become Merlin's shortcoming, and it is impossible for the emperor to refuse the investment of the hidden inheritance.
When the emperor told her, it wasn't really possible to make a decision by meeting the two sides.
Those high-sounding diplomatic occasions are all done for others to see, and the real negotiation deal has actually been completed under the table.
Lin An speculated that the emperor must have consulted with Pentagram and the old sword saint and others, and he was just delaying time now.
Half of it was done on the emperor's side, and Lin An went to meet the people of the hidden inheritance.
In front of a group of old guys who have lived for hundreds of years, Lin An did not deliberately put on any shelf, or pretend to be mysterious.
She just made a call to the guò contract and then went straight to the valley.
In addition to Andre's old teacher Laipi, the ten archmages had already arrived and came out to greet them in person with their disciples to show their respect for Lin An.
At the head are, of course, the three masters of Beoulay, Brooke and Grant.
"'Sword Bearer' Bioulai. Friedrich; ”
"'Hermit' Brooke. Albrecht; ”
"'Scholar' Grant. Muller, with his disciples—"
The three masters put their hands on their hearts to show their devotion to the recipient, and their right hands are lower than their left hands, which are slightly higher on their abdomen, indicating their humility – a salute with more worldly meaning than the ritual of a mage.
Then all the hidden lineage disciples bowed down together and said in unison:
"Greetings to the master!"
