So during this period of time, the imperial capital was really a mess.

Especially when the nobles found out that their families were completely unprepared for the appearance of the new archmage, this was simply the most piercing alarm, and even the heads of the top wealthy families at the top could not sit still.

There are no real secrets in aristocratic circles.

Especially when this secret has become the focus, and everyone is eager to strip it clean like a pervert stripping off the clothes of a beautiful woman.

But this time it was an accident.

After some tentative exchanges, everyone was surprised to find that everyone really didn't know the details of the new archmage, and they were finally shocked.

You must know that if a mage wants to reach a level that can impact the archmage, it is impossible for him to suddenly jump out.

Of all the mages who are expected to be promoted within thirty years, there are eight known ones, and all of them already have early investors and friendly families, even if they are not, they are no strangers to the identities and origins of those mages.

But those potential suspects, after some investigation, even the hidden in their own real room have been infiltrated by secret agents pretending to be servants delivering food, and they have been confirmed by secret agents, and they are currently in their sight.

In other words, the new archmage is not among them.

Could it be that the new archmage really jumped out of the stone?

……

“…… Maybe it's the disciples secretly cultivated by those archmages of the Secret Law Mission? ”

In a certain aristocratic ball, in a more intimate smoking room, several aristocratic gentlemen of all ages, young and old, smoke expensive tobacco smuggled in from the Holy Empire in the South, while chatting about one of the hot topics of recent times in the smoke and smoke.

"Secret cultivation? Sir Husserl, are you kidding? ”

A middle-aged aristocrat knocked on his pipe, "What kind of secrecy do you have to keep it secret, so that we can keep this person's deposit secret for decades?" ”

This is also a recognized opinion in aristocratic circles:

They really can't accept that in the imperial capital, under the noses of their hundreds of years of business, there are still secret corners that they haven't discovered!

Even if it is the imperial palace, it is only because there is a certain balance between the imperial power and the nobility, and both sides will not break it lightly, so the aristocracy does not stretch their eyeliner too long-

Attention, it's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't do it!

"Indeed."

The middle-aged nobleman's opinion was quickly agreed by the other person, "What's more, since it's a secret weapon, why don't you keep it secret to the end, but expose it at this time!" ”

"Of course, because the situation requires it."

Sir Husserl, who opened the conversation, was a young nobleman who was not yet thirty years old, and who had fortunately inherited the title very early, so he was a little young and vigorous, and said unconvinced:

"The closure of the secret law group's residence, as we all know, if that new archmage doesn't come and go often, and occasionally appears in disguise, then what's so strange if he doesn't notice it!"

"And, even if the Secret Law Order isn't enough to do it, what if you add the one in the palace?"

His voice became lower and lower, "You know, this new archmage was promoted perfectly on the eve of the ceremony, how do you look at it, how does it look like the royal family is showing ...... muscles"

This is also a direction that is tacitly suspected by many nobles, but few people say it.

The succession to the throne has always been a major event, and in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, there is no real existence outside the matter.

This incident, if it weren't for the sensitive timing and the huge suspicion of involvement with the royal family, it would not have caused such a big turmoil.

After all, it is just a new archmage, even if it is a perfect promotion, a great future, and a legend, but it is precisely because of this that the more promising the archmage, the more difficult it is to be involved with the nobles, even if some individual nobles have the opportunity, they must also take into account the thoughts of the royal family.

However, this time the situation was strange, and it was completely out of control, as if a sharp siren was cast on all the nobles, so that the entire emperor was canonized by the crown prince and fell into a strange and calm aristocratic circle.

Although the social circle of the aristocracy seems to be as usual, in the party, in the salon, the gentlemen and ladies and young masters and ladies are still in good spirits and in good health, but only they know how many people toss and turn at night, and even a nerve is tensed when they sleep.

After all, although His Majesty appeared in front of them again in spirit, the canonization of the crown prince meant that the next round of reshuffle had begun.

The atmosphere in the smoking room became odd.

An elderly man coughed twice and summed up the conversation:

"Hey, the storm is coming...... In any case, when the mysterious new archmage appeared, he would calm down. ”

……

“…… I have a hunch that the new Archmage will probably be an acquaintance of ours. ”

In the back garden of Benson House, next to the flowerbed of the Blooming Blossoms, Master James was lying on his back on a white couch under a large sun umbrella, one arm lazily covering his eyes, and suddenly said without warning.

Reinhardt's hand holding the handle of the bone china teapot shook for a moment, and a few drops of black coffee dripped onto the white tabletop, dazzling like ink dots splashed on snow-white paper.

But Reinhardt didn't care about it at all, he didn't expect that his old friend hadn't commented on the focus of the last few days for a long time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was so determined.

"You mean ......"

The answer is already so obvious! It's hard to imagine that she has never really retired from the sight of the nobles of the imperial capital-"

James rolled his eyes:

"Are those stupid aristocrats really confused by those lingering and moaning operas, and really think that she only has the beauty of the country and the city, and forget the reason why she became famous in the first place?"

Reinhardt, who knocked a rod to the ground, had long been accustomed to James's foul mouth, otherwise he would not have thought of conversing with the latter.

He asked, "Are you sure?" But if she comes back, it is impossible for the emperor to have no rumors at all? You should know how many people have been obsessed with her in the past two years! ”

James chuckled.

"What do you think is a perfect promotion for a mage?"

- If you understood, you wouldn't have asked this question.

He didn't bother to explain more to Reinhardt, implicitly disappointed, and with a little complexity:

"Except for Ann. Lin, I don't believe that any mage in the world can be promoted to an advanced archmage with perfection! ”

Reinhardt was shaken.

Yes, if we exclude the obscurity and judge only by James's argument, there is indeed no mage in the world who is more qualified to achieve this achievement than that miracle girl.

But.

Although Reinhardt acknowledged the correctness of James's argument, he still had difficulty accepting it for a while:

Quiet. Lynn is only in her early twenties, not even twenty-five years old!

It is not so much that the nobles of the imperial capital forgot about her existence, but because of this, those people subconsciously removed Lin from the ranks of suspicion.

Reinhardt was considered a person who had dealt with Lin An, and his brain was blank for a while at this time, not to mention other people.

――It's just a break from common sense, I can't even imagine it!

It wasn't until James finished his black coffee and struck the bone china cup with a crisp sound that Reinhardt came to his senses.

"So, why did she show up at the Arcane Headquarters?"

He swallowed his spit and asked dryly, as if trying to find an unreasonable argument:

"Could it be that in the two years since she disappeared, people have spread that she has been recuperating from her injuries in the Arcane Magic Group and preparing to attack the Archmage?!"

"How do I know! ――How could the idea of a genius who was promoted to an archmage before the age of twenty-five be something that a philistine like me could speculate?! ”

In the same era as Lin Ansheng, it is difficult for his peers not to be mentally unbalanced, especially Reinhardt's reaction stimulated him even more.

James said in a strange way:

"Don't say that it was just rumored that she was the illegitimate daughter of Her Majesty, even if three days later, the ceremony of canonizing the crown prince becomes the canonization of the empress, I won't be surprised!"

He viciously poured a large cup of black coffee, didn't feel the heat in his throat at all, and muttered:

"The empress can still produce one in a few hundred years, and she will be promoted perfectly, and she will be like this for two thousand years!"

……

"It's out!"

Avery 's eyes lit up.

This is the first time in the past few days that a vehicle other than a vegetable carrier has come in and out.

After seven days of waiting, with the cooperation of more than twenty colleagues, Avery couldn't even remember how many faces he had changed...... A qiē, just for this moment.

"Hey, the badge on the carriage...... It seems to be royal! ”

In fact, there is no need to look at the insignia, for the shape and characteristics of the carriages commonly used by members of the royal family, the secret agents of the Ombudsman are more familiar with the urgency of their own wives, and they only need to glance over, regardless of whether there is an insignia on the carriage or not, they can't escape their golden eyes.

After all, when His Majesty is idle and has nothing to do with the private interview of Weifu, among the people responsible for secretly eliminating danger, there is always an unlucky secret agent of the Ombudsman.

- I can't remember the faces of my parents, but if the emperor's carriage disappears from sight, they will wash their necks and wait.

"Come on the wind, come on the wind! Blow up the curtains! Several spies belonging to different forces invariably said in their hearts.

The carriage with the royal insignia came straight out of the station.

Avery and the others saw the carriage stop on the opposite river island, and a crystal light shot out from the carriage, and the temperature on the surface of the river that was flowing all year round dropped sharply, and in the blink of an eye, a thick ice road formed to connect the two banks.

The four tall white horses with four hooves stepped lightly, as if driven by a mysterious power, they were not afraid, they stepped directly on the frozen ice, ran briskly to the opposite bank, did not stop for a moment, went directly to the main road, and headed towards the east gate of the imperial capital.

The Spirit of the Wind did not respond to Avery and the others' expectations, and blew a blast of wind at the right time.

Only when the low-key and luxurious carriage passed by Avery and the others, they seemed to faintly hear the innocent and crisp words of the little girl in the carriage, and the soft laughter of the young woman.

……

In front of the palace gate, a column of ceremonial soldiers in white clothes and red pants with solemn faces and opposing faces has already lined up, bright red tassels and shiny spear tips reflect each other, and the red carpet between the two teams of soldiers has been spread from the front of the palace gate to the Feng Palace.

The emperor and the Saxons personally stood in front of the Maple Palace to greet them.

Stepping out of the carriage, Lin An stood at the foot of the white jade-like stone steps, holding Michelle's little hand, and looked up at the emperor and the Saxons on the stone steps.

Saxon had an illusion, as if the positions of the two sides had turned over, and Lin An was looking down at him-

Ascending the steps one step at a time, handing Michelle in his arms to the Saxons, Lin An held the emperor's elbow and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, I'm glad I didn't disgrace my life!"
