“…… Actually, I've seen you too! ”

Lin An said casually.

She seemed to be slightly drunk by the liquor in the barbecue, the rose-colored blush slowly creeping up her cheeks like the staining of flower petals, the blush on her face was particularly noticeable with its almost transparent skin, and her astonishingly bright black pupils were covered with a faint layer of water, so that the young man opposite could not determine whether the focus of her gaze was herself.

But the young man was just stunned, glanced at Lin An seriously, and smiled shallowly, "I think, I know when the meeting you are talking about." ”

Lin An's dark eyes brightened, and he looked at him with a slight raised eyebrow, "Oh? You know? ”

"I didn't see your true face at the time, so when we met this time, I wasn't completely sure that the person at that time was you." The young man replied that Wen Xu's voice was not uneasy because his true identity was revealed, and it seemed to be above board.

Of course, Lin An knew what he was referring to.

No matter the first time she met or this time, she wore the "Illusion of Aegis" on her face, and after a long interval of time, the current "Illusion of Aegis" has been recognized, and the young man can't be sure of the true face under the mask, so the reason for not daring to confirm that it is her is also very reasonable.

She didn't ask how the young man could see that he was still wearing a mask now, and there was no doubt about the first encounter, after all, the strong man who was sitting with the young man in the car at that time was very likely to be a ** master specializing in prophecy in Lin An's mental power perception, so the young man who was obviously close to the ** master of the prophecy department, what method could he detect the "illusion of Aegis" after recognizing the Lord did not surprise Lin An.

Seeing the young man so calmly admit that he was from the Holy Empire, Lin An let down half of his guard in his heart, thinking that the timing of the young man's appearance was indeed a coincidence with the signs shown by the "Prophet's Eye"?

But the characteristics of youth in all aspects. It's too much of a match--

The people of the Tower of Dolan are clearly suspiciously involved with Merlin's enemies, and this young man named Angus happens to be a member of the Holy Empire;

The temperament of the eyes seen in the "Eyes of the Prophet" is very similar to that of the man in front of him, and he appears here so coincidentally;

And if Lin An's object of snooping at that time was not a master-level powerhouse, the person below the master who had the ability to resist the "Prophet's Eye" that was eating her, and the young man in front of him, who was close to the ** master of the prophecy department, was indeed very likely to be on the list.

The above doubts made Lin An unable to let go of his suspicions about the young man in a short period of time, but the calmness of the young man could not help but shake Lin An a little:

After all, the other party's appearance was too coincidental. As soon as she had a suspicion, a person with the same characteristics in all aspects came out to verify her suspicions, as if she would not stop until the suspicion was placed on the young man's head. This made Lin An unable to confirm his guess so quickly.

In addition, the gentle temperament of young people and the calmness of their speech also played a great role in it.

"I was just starting to travel on my own, and I didn't have much to do. I thought I was covering it up properly, but I didn't expect so many people to see my clues along the way. Lin An shook his head and said, his shining eyes looking directly at each other.

The young man noticed that Lin An was slightly drunk, and seemed to be not very comfortable with Lin An's direct gaze, so he lowered his eyes slightly and avoided it, avoiding Lin An's overly bold gaze in an extremely elegant and polite way. At this time, Wen Yan gently raised his gaze to look at Lin An, and his voice was as soft as the wind sweeping through the treetops in spring.

"Actually, I didn't notice your lord in the crowd at the time. Only later did I find out who you were. ”

He followed etiquette and looked at the interlocutor as he spoke, but he didn't seem to be used to Lin An's gaze, his long white-gold eyebrows folded slightly, looked at her blushing cheeks, and lowered his eyes calmly. His gaze politely fell below the line of Lin An's nose.

Lin An put down the action of eating, and thought about it seriously with a twisted brow. After all, the memory that was not impressive two years ago was a long time ago for her, so after thinking for a while, she understood what the young man meant, and replied:

"Oh, the news of my appearance in the Principality at that time did make a lot of noise, but I didn't expect that even passers-by like you would hear about it!"

She shook her head, as if feeling a little ridiculous about the experience, and then asked the young man, "If I'm not mistaken, the man who was traveling with you in the car at the time was a master?" ”

The words of the conversation between the two had already attracted the slight attention of Johnmu on the side, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at them, but John's personality was steady, and he continued to eat without a trace of interruption, while quietly listening to the conversation between the two.

The young man smiled and said, "At that time, His Excellency the Master also said that you probably also noticed his existence!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his gaze again, and his gray-blue eyes revealed curiosity about Lin An, but when he noticed that Lin An was staring at his abnormally bright eyes, his brows folded again, and he hesitated for a moment, but still reminded:

"Your Excellency, are you drunk?"

"Although I don't drink alcohol often, the barbecue with most of the alcohol burned is not enough to make me drunk," Lin An said with a smile, "It's just that the mental power is too strong, as long as the nerves are excited, they will be exposed!" ”

She squinted her eyes vigorously, the brightness in her pupils dimmed, and the young man's slightly folded brows loosened, and he said apologetically, "I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter, with your appearance, I'm afraid that you will not be able to be disturbed in ordinary times, and a gentleman who is cautious and polite will be more liked than a wanderer at any time!"

Lin An looked the other party up and down in a joking tone, but since he had already said it, the young man seemed to be aware of Lin An's calmness, and this time he did not avoid her playful gaze, and looked back with a smile.

"By the way, now that you know each other, you don't have to use honorific titles all the time, and this is not a formal occasion." Lin An said.

The young man turned his head to look around, because the males accounted for the majority, the male hormones were roasted by the bonfire, the rough shouts were endless, and the noisy voices were like a civilian tavern in the downtown area, and he couldn't help but smile:

"Okay, Lynn."

Lin An raised his eyes and looked at the crowd whose atmosphere was in full swing.

They were located far from the center, not on the periphery, but in a non-crowded corner, and Johanm was separated from them by the crowd, so the conversation was not interrupted.

The singing in the crowd lasted for a long time, and the melodious and loud voices broke through the noisy vocals. As the red flames and the aroma of barbecue broke, most of the people's attention was focused on the performance in the center of the crowd, and the applause and cheers never ceased.

But there are also many people like them, ignoring the bustle next to them, hiding in the corner and whispering easily with their companions, enjoying this rare and cheerful night.

"Angus, aren't you going to join?"

At the last dinner, Lin An was deeply impressed by Angus's singing, this young nobleman of the Holy Empire probably had a complete and rigorous education, adhered to the tradition of the Holy Empire's literary and artistic holy land, and had profound attainments in art.

"Nope. In the past few days, I have collected most of the people's stories. The young man replied.

Lin An was dumbfounded.

"You trade songs for them to tell you stories?" She remembered the last time the youth sang songs.

The youth nodded.

The so-called stories, of course, are the experiences of the battlefield -- most of them should be rumors that are allowed to be circulated. It can be the narrator's own or someone else's, and after being collected and sorted out by scholars and included in book records, it may become a historical record.

Lin An thought of the prophecy master. "Looks like you're going to follow the path that the master has taken."

The young man pursed his lips slightly, and a deep glimmer crossed his eyes, "The teacher is the real witness of history." ”

Lin An couldn't help but be taken aback by the title in the young man's mouth, the number of prophecy mages has never been large, and even fewer have reached the level of ** master, and they have always been valued by the royal families of various countries.

But even so. The ** masters of the prophecy department have always rarely appeared in front of people, and their ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages makes them rarely involved in the entanglement and chaos of the state and the powerful, and they are independent of the world with a detached attitude. It's hard for ordinary people to see each other.

And the young man in front of him not only has a close relationship with the ** master of the prophecy department, but also can call the ** master of the prophecy department as a teacher as a martial artist, which shows the master's trust and love for him.

However, Lin An was only surprised for a while, and after thinking about it after being surprised, he was not surprised.

Because when the youth comes. She found that some kind of power in the young man blocked the perception of her spiritual power, presumably this was the protection that the ** master gave to the young man. Therefore, after the young man's words revealed his master-apprentice relationship with that master, Lin An was not very surprised.

What the young man will inherit is obviously not the master's achievements in the field of magic, but the retrospective and inheritance of history.

"It is really admirable to pursue the infinite historical truth with a limited life," the mage always pays tribute to the truly knowledgeable, and Lin An is naturally the same.

She looked at the barbecue in her hand and said regretfully: "It's a pity that there is no wine anymore, otherwise I can exchange it for a story." ”

"I don't mind if you trade your story for it." The young man's eyes lit up and he smiled and said.

After a pause, Lin An glanced at the young man who was half-squinting and tasting the food seriously, the faint pleasure revealed on the other party's soft face was very real, making it difficult for Lin An to connect the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, who had always made her uneasy, with the young man in front of her.

Therefore, Lin An decided to put aside his suspicions for the time being and observe the other party from a bystander perspective.

"I'm afraid I'll suffer a big loss, I only have my own story, and you have a lot of other people." She took over the topic of youth.

"So I trade my own? If you're not bored. ”

The young man said seriously, as soon as he raised his head, his gaze paused, and he looked over the top of Lin An's head, as if he had seen something, and his gray-blue eyes were slightly stunned.

Lin An seemed to be aware, turned around and looked back in surprise, and when his eyes swept over John, he also saw that he was showing a slightly surprised look, and the content contained in his expression was too complicated, Lin An didn't have time to think about it, followed the focus of his gaze, and happened to see the tall figure standing in the shadow of the tent in the distance.

The smile on Lin An's face was faint.

Most of the figure was shrouded in shadows, and it was impossible to see his expression clearly, but even Angus, who met for the first time, noticed the other party at once, because whoever saw the figure of that person would probably not mistake the focus of his gaze.

He looked at her.

--Just standing quietly, in the shadow away from the hustle and bustle, it was like being in another world.

And she saw him at first sight through most of the lively crowd.

Seeing Lin An's unusual look, John's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he sighed in his heart that something really went wrong with the two.

Angus had the acumen of a historical witness, and for a moment he sensed the unusual atmosphere from the brief glance between the two, and calmly picked up the tray.

“…… Then I'll leave first. ”

Lin An didn't hear what he said, and Angus didn't need Lin An's answer, so after speaking, he got up quietly and left.
