Chapter 385: The Overpowering Balance and the Overpowering Calamity

"But looking at it this way, this ice field battlefield can't stay for long."

As soon as he heard the news of Mourinho, Lin An could roughly guess the content of his summons - but this was not the most important thing, because it was impossible for the strong men represented by him to say anything too important to the interrogation mages in the interrogation, the real influence of this group of Merlin powerhouses was in the upper echelons of Merlin, and Lin An, who was suspected of how to resist the cursed trial, would definitely attract the attention of these strong men and the upper echelons of Merlin.

However, Lin An is very likely to have a close relationship with the legendary powerhouse, so those at the top of Merlin will not let the news spread at will until they are confirmed, so Lin An does not need to worry about this matter being "exposed" in a short time, but it is foreseeable that the real trouble has already been on the body.

In contrast, some of the small actions made by these family forces who were in the upper echelons of Merlin were not really troublesome.

What's more, Chamberlain's arrival and his analysis did make Lin An open up his mind and understand the stalemate under the calm of the past two days.

If it takes an external force to break this deadlocked equilibrium and tip the scales in her favor, there is no more straightforward and simple way than this—

"Want to upset the balance? It's very simple—"

Lin An's leisurely voice turned Chamberlain's attention back to her words.

As soon as he raised his hand, the effect of the magic trick evaporated the wine "liquid" on the ground, and the crystal cup with the shallow remnants of the wine "liquid" at the bottom was held in his hand and rotated slightly, his emerald green eyes were raised, and he looked at Lin An with a slight surprise, knowing that she would not be untargeted.

The slender hands folded gracefully, Lin An leaned slightly sideways, and his red lips hooked up a lazy smile, "It just so happens that the mana accumulation of my main demon pool has reached a bottleneck, and it should have been closed for a long time." ”

Pong!

The crystal cup touched the ground, making a crisp cracking sound.

The attendant's hurried footsteps came from far and near, and he walked to a large, solid igloo, his pace slowing slightly.

The guard outside the house glanced at the attendant, smiled slightly flatteringly at the hurried attendant, and announced the arrival of the attendant loudly at the door:

"Report! The Griffin Squire has arrived! ”

"Come in." The hoarse voices of the people in the room were heard.

The squire Griffin's face was cold, and he didn't look at the guard, lifted the curtain at the door, and walked in with his head bowed.

The guard watched his back disappear behind the curtain, the flattery on his face disappeared instantly, he spat on the ground, looked up and quietly looked around, made sure that no one saw his actions, and resumed the posture of standing guard just now.

The Griffin squire didn't know what was going on behind him, he walked into the igloo, two men of different ages were sitting in the two corners of the igloo, the younger one was lazily wiping the long sword in his hand, and the similar-looking older man was sitting behind the long table with his eyes closed, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the high-backed chair, and neither of them signaled the arrival of the acolyte.

Griffin had grown accustomed to the attitude of the two.

He has served in the Roxmu Legion for twenty years, and has also been the captain's attendant for nearly ten years, without the name of a retainer but a retainer, he is the real henchman of the old Roquemu Legion, if the Roquemu family can go further through this "hero plan" and go from a second-rate nobleman to the ranks of first-class wealthy families, then there must be a position for Griffin among the people who ascend to heaven with the chicken dog.

There is no commoner who does not want to enter the ranks of the nobility one day, and a family like Roxme is undoubtedly the best allegiance he can find, so Griffin undoubtedly has a positive attitude towards the Roxme family's struggle this time.

Unfortunately, the news he brought this time was not good news.

"My lord, there is news from the Mage Tower, Master James has just passed the application of Master Lin, and borrowed the second element balance room of the Mage Tower for half a month......"

Griffin's report was interrupted halfway, and the young man who was wiping his sword put down the burlap in his hand with some impatience, and jokingly said:

"Yo, the poor little beauty mage and the so-called master disciple, have they finally stopped the pressure and thought of seeking the protection of the mage tower?

Sure enough, what 'purple rose'? No matter how strong they are, they are just two new mages who have been promoted for less than a year, can they still be stronger than ** masters? I don't believe that two people who are single-handedly can really switch to most of the front-line battlefields, and create so much momentum and merit-

Hmph, it's nothing more than the exaggeration of those who were rescued and the fueling of some forces behind it! ”

Only those who have been on the battlefield will know the difficulty of fighting with the demons and necromancers, not to mention two new mages, even a hundred mages, without supplies, no backup and no protection, it is impossible to withstand the siege of thousands of troops, and even led to the pursuit of the demon ** division-

The appearance of the so-called "Purple Rose" in the eyes of young people is just the best time, and the appearance of heroic figures is just needed on the battlefield where morale is shaken, and the "Purple Rose" that saves people but does not leave a name is just sent to the door, so the overjoyed rear army propaganda department immediately set them up, and then with the progress of the war, the military command department probably tasted the sweetness, and indirectly led to the emergence of the "hero plan".

As for the real material of the "Purple Rose", there should indeed be it, but at most, it is only the best among mages of the same level, but the component of its strength that plays a role in its merits can reach thirty percent, and Xiao Luo Mu admires them very much.

As a soldier, what I hate the most are those "gilded" people who have empty names but have no actual achievements, and the "Purple Rose" took advantage of the east wind of the turning point of the war to be praised to the sky for a little merit, and also blocked the advancement of people who really fought for military merit with their "life", how could it not cause public indignation?

The thought of his uncle's military exploits being pressed down by such an empty and pompous person to block his brilliance, Xiao Luo Mu felt a pang of disgust.

"Ha, if they can explain clearly, why the two new mages who have not been 'showing' their strength in the back camp suddenly burst out with strength comparable to that of ** masters after going to the front line, I will believe them a little - even if it is to rely on the talisman or hole card given by His Excellency the ** Master in private, it is not a shame haha!"

"Shut up! **Your Excellency, Teacher, is not something you can comment on casually! Others can make such a big statement, even if there is moisture, there must be their real material - I have never seen the other party and judge lightly, how do I usually teach you? ”

Old Roxmu sneered and asked Griffin:

"You are in such a hurry to report, it must be more than just because of this news! …… Well, I remember as if the Burren mage had just visited them, and they offered to borrow the elemental balance chamber of the Mage Tower, was there any particular reason? "The net doesn't skip words.

Lin An and the others have been in the rear camp of the Chinese army for two days, and they have changed their posture of staying at home and suddenly proposed to borrow the mage tower, which must have a special motive.

Here's the point.

Griffin remembered his shocked mood when he heard the news specially released by the Mage Tower, and looked at Xiao Luomu, who was muttering in a low voice in some disbelief, with some complicated feelings, and said in a low voice:

"My lord, according to the news released by Master James, the reason why that Mage Lin proposed to borrow the Elemental Balance Room is that she is preparing to open up the Demon Splitting Pool."

There was silence in the room.

"Ha, what did you say, Griffin? It's the funniest joke I've heard this year! ”

A somewhat distorted voice broke the silence, and little Locke's face was a strange "color", and his face was red as if a smile was about to erupt in the next moment-

"The new mage, who has only been promoted for a year, declares that she is going to open up a demon splitting pool?

- Why didn't she say that she would be able to advance to the ** master within ten years, and she would become a newly baked legendary powerhouse within a hundred years, and she would become a new god after three hundred years! ”

Little Lok Mu slapped his thigh, and his upper body holding the sword tilted to the side in a gaffe, laughing heartily, "I really doubt if I'm dreaming, or if that Master Lin is dreaming himself-"

"-Shut up!!"

Old Roxmu suddenly burst into a loud shout, and little Rokemu sat up straight, and then saw that his father had stood up in shock, and his already stern face was solemn at this time, and asked in a deep voice:

"Griffin, you've always been thoughtful, and I'm most reassured...... Are you sure this news is true? ”

Griffin's face was full of solemnity, he knew the reason why old Roxmu had such a strict attitude, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, sir. The news was that Master Lin had personally informed Master James, and Master James had him go out of his way to publicize it, without any concealment—I had already confirmed this myself. ”

Xiao Luomu, who was listening, gradually faded into laughter, and was stunned:

In his mind, this news is most likely a fallacy, followed by the bluff of that Master Lin to cope with external pressure, after all, from the records of history, he has never heard of a mage who can open up a demon pool after advancing for a year - the fastest record in history is also more than eight years, and the average limit of the normal mage's main demon pool is generally around twenty years!

A year?

It's ridiculously funny!

But judging by the way his father and Griffin behaved, they seemed to believe the farce-like news—and little Roxmu realized that things were going more than he expected.

"One year, open up the ...... of the magic pool"

Old Roxmu took a deep breath and sat back in his high-backed chair, "It seems that we have greatly underestimated that Master Lin!" ”

He remembered the joke his son had just said—

If that Master Lin succeeds in opening up the Demon Splitting Pool after one year of promotion, even if ten years is not enough to advance to the ** master, then twenty years, thirty years, forty years...... Maybe in fifty years, before the family digests the benefits and fame they have grabbed from the "Hero Project", they will have to face the hostility of a genius ** division powerhouse-

Moreover, this genius ** division is still a monster who has advanced the lower age limit for promotion to ** division by at least thirty years, and even the chances of going further in the future are not out of the question, and how much weight will the royal family put in order to win over such a future powerhouse, and what kind of attitude will they have towards these families and forces that are hostile to such a monster?

Old Luo Mu thought of the families that fell and the blood souls that were trampled under their feet in the process of the rise of those ** divisions and the Golden Sword Saint powerhouses - the process of the rise of each strong man was like a sword that did not hide its sharpness, often facing enemies on all sides, and used fighting to climb the peak of the strong.

In the end, only a small number of swords were sharpened to reach the top, and along with the disappearance of most broken swords, there were many families that had lost their historical glory:

Often in the end, those fallen families face the dilemma of no one to inherit and are taken back by the royal family to the knighthood, eliminated from the ranks of the noble, and the sword that successfully reached the top is also due to the special status of the strong, and was pardoned by the royal family for past crimes, so it has established a relatively good relationship with the royal family, and even because of the magnanimity and grace of the royal family, it has become a supporter and guarantor of the royal family's dominance-

Is this really a coincidence?

Is it just a coincidence that over the past thousand years, countless aristocratic families have risen and fallen, and one after another power classes such as mages, sword saints, hidden inheritances, emerging military forces, scholars and even businessmen have stepped onto the stage to occupy the sphere of influence of hereditary traditional nobles, but the status of the Merlin royal family has been consolidating and majestic?

History is always directing one repetitive and monotonous drama after another, and the people in it laugh at history but turn a blind eye to its warnings!

"Monsters, always want to eat people!"

Old Rokemu muttered to himself, as if he had sensed a dark cloud representing a crisis that had loomed invisibly over his head, and he had not yet noticed it.

He leaned back in the high-backed chair, his pursed lips squeezing out deep nasolabial folds, and the ambition that had risen from that "heroic plan" suddenly faded a lot.

He shook his head, which was carried away by the fame and fortune of the revitalization family, took a deep breath, his bloodshot eyes regained his spirit, and ordered to his cronies and deputy:

"Continue to try your best to fight for the 'Hero Project', but don't participate in all the actions against that Mage Lin, and wait for the news from the Mage Tower."

Little Roxmund and Griffin were stunned at the same time.

Although he had tried to overestimate the importance that Old Roxmu attached to this news, he didn't expect Old Roxmu to make such a move to completely retreat from that Master Lin on the spot-

Little Locke hesitated, but when his father had already made a decision, he couldn't question it, and he did notice a little strangeness from his father's reaction - as a noble child, even if his military career faded his nerves in terms of intrigue and trickery, he still had a little instinct to observe words and "colors" to be alert to crises.

"Yes, sir,"

Although Griffin was disappointed, he was not surprised by this, after all, the Roquemu family was the basis of his hope for promotion, as long as the Roquemu family survived well, even if he could not be promoted to the ranks of the nobility in his lifetime, there was still hope for his descendants, and the birth of a noble family often required several generations and hundreds of years of operation, so Griffin was very patient.

"So, what if Lord Siris and they invite ...... again?"

Griffin's Ciris, who is also in the same position in dealing with the "Purple Rose", and is more active when the upper echelons exert pressure, the people supported by the other party have a similar reputation for merit and reputation as the commander of Lockmul who led the troops on the front line, but when it comes to family prestige, he is better than Lockmul.

"Let them continue to jump, we can just respond for a while, and wait for the news from the Mage Tower, as well as the wind direction from the Winter Palace."

Old Rokemu "rubbed" "rubbed" the wrinkled eyebrows, and said slowly, secretly glad in his heart, fortunately, he was not very positive before, and there was still room for maneuver.

He thought for a moment, and then said:

"Show me more information about that Master Lynn and Master Elvis, and besides, gather as much information as you can about them, no matter how big or small, and it would be better if you could find out what happened before they entered the ice field.

Also, keep an eye out for the Overseer and Mage Towers, I'll be the first to know! ”

"Yes, sir!"

For the second time in three days, Mage James broke into the Overseer's office.

Leaning against the wall by the doorway, Mage James crossed his chest and looked at Rheinthal behind his desk. Bencent's chic and casual posture "revealed" a trace of triumph that he could not hide.

"If you're only here to tell me about the reason for the retreat, then I can tell you that the Overseer's office has received the news as soon as you go.

Also, in view of your second unsolicited attempt, the Overseer's Office will submit a list of the damage to utilities caused by these two trespasses. ”

Reinthal, buried in the pile of briefcases, said without looking up.

James snorted unhappily, feeling that he had the upper hand this time, but the lukewarm reaction of the guy in front of him made him have no pleasure of gaining the upper hand.

"I'm here to tell you that when Master Lin applied for the Second Elemental Balance Room, I personally tested her magical state-"

At the mention of the unexpected female mage, Master James's expression was a little more solemn:

"She's indeed had a mana overflow reaction, and she's obviously been doing it for quite some time - of course, the mana overflow state can be faked, not conclusive evidence of the overflowing pool, but to be honest, I don't think she's cheating, and there's no need."

Because Lin An's normal demon splitting pool is opened, it usually does not take more than half a month, she can hide in the mage tower for a while, but it will become a joke because of this, and the pressure from the outside world will be unscrupulous because of her weak inside, from the perspective of normal logic, Lin An is not exhausted now, and no one will make such an unwise decision.

What's more, Lin An also showed a piece of black crystal, the raw material for making zuò black ghosts, as long as she really had the bottleneck of the overflowing main demon pool, with that black crystal, there was basically eighty percent of the possibility that she could open up the second magic pool.

At that time, her weight will really have to be re-weighed by everyone.

James looked at his old friend and said:

Old friend, don't say that I always selfishly only care about my own mage future, this time I personally remind you that the Blue Lion and Bencent of the Deep Water River Plain are both prosperous, and as one of the pillars of the two families, you will make the right decision!

The ink-stained tip of the pen paused, and Rheinthal did not look up.

After a while.

"I see, when that Master Lin comes out, I'll ask her to meet immediately."

"You should have done this a long time ago, Melissa's words will not be untargeted!" James raised his eyebrows, "Did you send this matter back through the expedited channel?" ”

"What do you say?"

Rheinthal raised his head and asked lightly - as an overseer, some kind of Cheng dù is the eyes of the emperor's majesty, and he will give feedback on any important military affairs related to the empire as soon as possible.

"That's good, it's good that you didn't get involved in the grasshoppers jumping around."

James did not seem to have any inclination to leave, and Rheinthal was so disturbed by his "commotion" that he had to put down his pen, and he couldn't help but be curious about the object of James's mouth.

"It's just been one meeting, even if there is an appraisal under Melissa's crown, it is worth your attention?"

— or rather, jealousy?

Rheinthal is very clear about his old friend's personality, although he seems to be flamboyant and reckless, in fact, he is from the Blue Lion family, and he has no shortage of corresponding reserved arrogance, especially in the group of mages, there are very few people of the same rank who can be recognized or even feared by him.

"If a woman has absolute talent, and has the mental 'sex' will corresponding to this talent, then she is only one step away from mastering her own destiny, and it is only a matter of time before she transforms her talent into strength and power;

But if this woman, in addition to her talent, will, and strength, also possesses a peerless appearance that should never be seen in one person at the same time in this world, then she is a calamity from heaven—"

Master James looked at Rheinthal and said in a solemn tone that he had never felt before:

"The world is going crazy for her, really!"

The second element of the Mage Tower's Balance Chamber.

Lin An, known as the "catastrophe from heaven", had just put pen to paper in a notebook made of special magic paper.

On the table in front of her were two codexes that had been written all over the place, densely packed with square words, indicating that they were notes written by her own hand.

More than twenty such notes had been amassed, and since she had received the inheritance from Julian Sr. and began to study magic, she had inherited Julian Sr.'s habit of keeping a codex, and she had recorded her thoughts and doubts in the codex one after another.

At this time, while looking through the past codex records, she sorted out and recorded the matters and key points that needed to be paid attention to to in order to open up the demon splitting pool, and at the same time, in this way, she adjusted her mood and made her state of mind enter a state of concentration and calm.

Putting down the pen and transferring the folding desk and codex into the space, Lin sat quietly for a while, and took out an eighteen-sided black spinel pillar, the apex of the cylinder at both ends flickering with tiny and pure reflections.

Next to Sombra was a small piece of refined, fingernail-sized silver-blue metal, a product of a special meteorite that collided with the earth's surface, known as the Ersmoult meteorite, which was extremely rare, and was the only small piece of the material left to her by the Warden.

Not surprisingly, the black ghost refined with this meteorite iron will be an extremely rare top-level black ghost, and it will at least help her open up three demon pools before she can retire.

However, Lin An did not plan to destroy the heavenly things, except for the first opening of the Demon Splitting Pool, the subsequent opening of the Demon Splitting Pool was not very dangerous, so in addition to borrowing it to Sidney once, Lin An planned to keep the black ghost as the magic source of his future mage tower master's meditation room.

In short, it is foreseeable that in half a month, her experience codex will be full again.
