Chapter 1077: Conspiracy Behind the Scenes
"I'd like to borrow your place, if you don't mind."
Hearing this, Master Amos immediately understood.
"Of course, you can. From the moment you open this scroll, you have truly become the co-master of our four great lineages, and every qiΔ of the roof of the Black Dragon is yours. β
Amos said respectfully, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.
"What's more, this is not a hermitage where the Black Dragon Roof has been inherited for thousands of years, there is not even a mage tower, and there is nothing that cannot be exposed, and the worst possibility is just to migrate again."
This is the beginning of the complaint.
Lin An knew it in his heart, but he also knew that it was inevitable.
The combination of grace and power, the combination of sticks and radishes, is the way to control people.
Since he intends to accept the hermit inheritance for his own use, if he uses Amos's merits, he can't get enough rewards from her, and no matter how strong the soul contract binding, it will only make those hermit inheritances deviate.
On the other hand, if the strength is weak and the talent is withered like the roof of the black dragon, they can stand on the hidden inheritance whose strength is far beyond their due diligence, and no matter how much those hidden inheritances do not obey the discipline, under the constraints of the soul contract, they will definitely be blushing.
Lin An is not afraid that the people of the hidden inheritance will not be convinced, what he is afraid of is that these people will huddle together, disobey her orders, and even empty her.
Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the true lifeblood of the hidden inheritance in order to make them bow down.
Amos took the initiative to serve in order to make a comeback and regain the glory of inheritance;
Other hidden inheritances do not lack heritage, strength, or resources, what do they value?
With a slight thought in his mind, Lin An had a belly case.
β¦β¦
The silver-white crystal ball is like a thin mist, reflecting a bright and bright light in the crystal ball.
The sound of the long spell was low and treacherous, two thin hands like chicken claws waved, palms downward, the wide sleeves of the robe were like open bat wings, and the complicated spell holding posture looked like the witch's summoning ceremony.
After a full quarter of an hour, the sound of the incantation finally stopped, and the six diamond-like gems on the silver crystal pedestal circle burst out with light that covered the entire observatory.
The high dome was dotted with stars, as if countless broken diamonds were sprinkled on the black velvet, and in the starry sky, a faint starlight cast down, enveloping the stargazing platform.
The voice of neither man nor woman was sharp and piercing, and he called sharply, "Brooke! Brooke! β
Soon, there was movement in the crystal ball, and the mist-like galaxy swayed faintly, and the influence of a short, fat, red-faced old man with a flat nose appeared in the crystal ball.
"Biyulai, you shemale old woman, why did you summon me at this time!"
The archmage who was called Brooke had a tense face and lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that this conversation would be overheard by a third party, "If that person knows about us and thinks that we are connected in private, neither the underground castle nor the Tower of Dolan will end well!" β
"Of course I'm not that stupid, before I summoned you, I had drawn the starlight to help keep me out from prying eyes, even if the soul was peeping, she couldn't see anything."
"However, I don't have many star diamonds in my hand, and we have two quarters of an hour at most now. β
"You even used the Astral Diamond!"
When Brooke heard this, he knew that Beulai had made a lot of money, and hurriedly said, "Then why don't you summon that old face quickly!" β
Not long after, a long-faced old man with a clear face and gray temples appeared in the crystal ball.
Instead of wearing a mage's robe, he was dressed in a half-worn scholar's attire, with a pair of crystal glasses on his high, narrow hooked nose, just like an ordinary old scholar, but anyone who really regarded him as an old scholar who would only work behind closed doors would have to pay a huge price.
His image and the chunky red-faced old man each occupy half of the territory, splitting the crystal ball in half.
"Needless to say, we should all be aware of the current situation."
The short, fat, red-faced old man said in a deep voice, "Whether it's for ourselves or for the sake of those children under the door, we'd better negotiate a result." β
The long-faced old man said, "I don't see anything to discuss. β
"This doesn't look like your character, Grant, could it be that the thousand-year-old inheritance of the Star Sea Cliff is just to become someone else's slave and be driven by others?" Biyurasha said.
"Don't be agitated, Biyulai." Grant shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to accept my fate, but we don't have any bargaining chips, our lives are in each other's hands, and we can't even disobey the idea of rebelling against her, what else can we do but be obedient?" β
"Slaves are also hierarchical." "We're all right, old fellows, at least we're of some use, and we shouldn't be neglectedβbut what about our children?" β
Grant's face tightened.
The obvious twitching tendons around his neck clearly revealed his true feelings.
For them, in addition to the advanced legend, the most important thing in their minds is the thousand-year-old inheritance of the master.
No matter how ruthless a person is, who has spent hundreds of years of effort on one thing, this matter will become an inseparable part of life.
If it was just himself, in the face of this situation of life and death in the hands of others, with the pride of the archmage, the three masters would rather die than compromise.
But they all have a inheritance burden behind them, and the lives of the entire inheritance are in the hands of each other.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid that the inheritance of the master is like the roof of the black dragon, and the talents will wither, and they will fall to the point where they have to serve Lin An in order to rise again.
In the final analysis, if the Black Dragon Roof did not fall into that situation, just because of the duties of the Oath Protector, the Black Dragon Roof might not be so persistent in finding Lin An's whereabouts.
Although it was a coincidence that Lin An inadvertently came to the newly opened hermitage of Amos, on the other hand, if the hermitage of the Black Dragon's Roof had not been breached, they had been living under the protection of many prohibitions and magic circles, and Lin An would not have been able to be sensed by the runes at all.
It is sad to be trapped in keeping the oath, but they are even more reluctant to let the master become a slave to one person.
Because of this, even though Lin An had not yet shown any malicious intent, the three masters were all like great enemies, and they were even more nervous than the legend in person.
"It's not necessarily as bad as we think...... When the oath is triggered, you'll all recognize her! β
The topic was at an impasse, and Beyolai suddenly interjected.
"Of course, if it's another one, I may not recognize it."
Grant said, "But 'that one' is in the limelight at Pompeii, just promoted just over a month ago, and for the first time in thousands of years, a perfect promotion, even I, an old fellow who has lived in the wilderness for a long time, have heard of 'her' reputation." β
All three of them had been involved in the Returning Land, had direct or indirect contact with Lin An, and had already heard about her.
What's more, Lin An has been famous all over the world in the past two years, almost everyone knows it, and the characteristics of black hair and black eyes, and stunning appearance are enough for people to confirm her identity.
Fearing that directly mentioning Lin An's name would make the other party feel it, they both referred to Lin An as "that" or a third person in the conversation.
Brooke says, not without irony:
"That old man is lucky, with his half-undead disciple, I'm afraid he will become the celebrity in front of 'that' in the future!"
"Your message is out of date, Brooke."
Beoulai raised his voice:
"You don't think you know about the expulsion of Rice and Larry's old guys, right?"
"When, how don't I know!" Brooke was surprised, "Their little group's plan failed?" β
At a certain level, archmages have their own information channels, and exclusive secret methods are emerging in an endless stream, and many high-level insiders are not secrets in the circle.
The Merlin royal family has controlled the pentagram secret method for thousands of years, in order to divide the mage group, and I don't know how many undercurrents and struggles have been caused by thousands of years.
From the standpoint of not directly benefiting, most archmages are happy to see this secret method being dismantled by the exclusive control of the Merlin royal family, so that they will also have the opportunity to get into the corners of the pentagram secret method.
This attitude has long been a secret tacit understanding in the circle.
The hidden inheritance cannot be born, the stakes are the least, and it is the party that is most willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and even secretly provided assistance.
Master Beyolai is the ruler of the Tower of Doran, and has a close secret relationship with the five princes, Jokjadan, and is the most knowledgeable hermit inheritance of Merlin's royal family, and their shadow is hidden behind many events related to Merlin's prosperity and succession in recent years.
She didn't know where she got the news, but after piecing together many ways, she actually pieced together the matter of Rice and the others' conspiracy against the small group to be almost close to the truth.
Although the incident was not clear enough because it could not be directly explained by the core participants, Lin An's sense of existence in the course of the incident could not be ignored, and these three experienced archmages would certainly not miss it.
"So, Rice's old guys will be rushed to Perre in the dust, and she will lead it?"
Grant muttered, "There are no less than ten of those old guys, and we old guys are not even taken seriously, and we old guys are not necessarily optimistic!" β
"That's not the point!"
Beoulai rebuked, "The point is, after this incident, Rice's old guys should be on the same page as her...... If you're just afraid of her background and don't dare to retaliate, forget it. β
"But I got news from the Mage Tower, for some reason, Rice they have compromised with her, and even they will choose to go to the Pere Empire, which is said to be related to her."
"What is the reason for that?" Brooke asked.
"The Mage Tower's side won't say." Beyolai still holds a grudge against this, "With my friendship with that old fellow in Cadillac for more than 200 years, he still keeps his mouth shut like a clam shell!" β
"This is important news."
"The old ghosts of the Mage Tower, they are not even afraid of treason, they will keep one thing secret, which means that this matter is also closely related to them, and it is likely to be closely related to us."
Grant said in a deep voice, "You're right, Bioulai. If this qiΔ is all about her, we must raise our attention to her by at least two levels. β
"Unfortunately, this news came too late, and if we had paid attention to it in advance, perhaps the day would not have even come when the oath would have been triggered." Brooke sighed.
"It looks like we've pretty much agreed."
Biyulai shrieked, "So, advance and retreat together, do you have any opinions?" β
"Advance and retreat together!"
"Advance and retreat together!"
The two said in unison.
