Not long after returning to her own territory, Lin An didn't have time to put on the pendant when she suddenly noticed a strange aura, which was also unexpected by her.

Then she remembered that although her magic power was suppressed by the imperial capital, because of the favor of the goddess of nature, her perception was naturally not suppressed by the magic circle as before she left the imperial capital.

It is precisely because of the suppression of the forbidden magic circle that she feels the difference brought about by the different levels of the law at this time, no matter how strong her spiritual power is, she is always a formal mage who has not comprehended the law and promoted to the ** master, and the level of strength is far from being comparable to the natural divine power.

However, perhaps it was the improvement of the soul level and the existence of natural divine power, Lin An tried to feel the operation of the magic power, and found that it was a little less suppressed than before:

Before leaving the imperial capital, she could only release first-level spells outside the palace without wearing a pendant and being suppressed by the law, and she could barely reach the second level with all her magic power; Now it feels like the second-level spells can release at least three, but the third-level spells still can't succeed - obviously this is the characteristic of the forbidden circle, the greater the energy, the greater the suppression.

And the natural divine power is completely unsuppressed, with divine arts, even if the other party is not good, Lin An is not too afraid, because the divine power of life itself is not good at attacking, but the support and defense are very powerful.

Walking up to the second floor, there was not a single dust falling on the bright red carpet, as if even in the absence of the master, Hannibal's butler still urged the servants to tidy up the Earl's Court every day.

"Butler Hannibal, go down first."

Lin An sensed that the breath in the study was still motionless, but Hannibal's butler next to him didn't know anything about his existence, thought about it, and asked him to go down first.

Walking alone to the door of the study, the bronze handle was shiny and silky, as if it had been touched and wiped countless times, and the traces on it recorded the ancient and long history of this earl's house.

Lin An unscrewed the handle, and the golden nanmu door was silently pushed open.

It was no longer her study, but a silver beach near the sea, with a salty sea breeze. The sun is shining. Seabirds fly across the sky above the palm trees, dotting the sky like clouds of wool.

Lin An looked back, a wooden door was still standing behind her, and in the corridor outside the study, her feet were on a piece of soft sand, slightly sagging.

"Is it pretty?"

A few feet away from her, the man who was caught by the sea had a voice as clear as ice and snow, he was no more than thirty in appearance, and his blonde hair and blue eyes were similar to those of a handsome man like Rinster, but his eyes were melancholy and vicissitudes. It's full of untold stories.

"Okay."

Lin An looked around, the beach, the sea breeze, the birdsong, the sunshine...... Even if you know it's an illusion. She couldn't feel the slightest flaw in this illusion.

This not only shows that the other party's illusion attainments are profound, but also means that this strong man's spiritual power and even soul level are probably no less than her.

Because illusion can blind the five senses, but not even her intuition completely, but her intuition does not warn when she steps into this room, even if it is felt by the soul, this qiē is completely real. There is nothing unusual at all, which means that the other party's soul level is the same as hers, and she has reached the peak below the legend, and if she takes another step, she will enter the legend.

Although the other party did not unconsciously lead her away like Remus, it also brought her a faint but lingering psychological pressure, but Lin An did not feel the other party's malice and dangerous intuition, but he was calm, and when he looked at the other party. I stumbled upon a pattern on the back of his left hand.

It was a silver-white pentagram, very dim, most of it was covered by the other party's silver-rimmed sleeves, if it weren't for Lin An's keen eyesight, he almost didn't notice it.

Lin An understood the identity of the other party.

The man also noticed Lin An's gaze, and when he saw her thoughtfully, his eyes darkened.

"Your Majesty once mentioned you after I came back, so I'll come and take a look...... He's a good boy. ”

The snow-clear male voice gradually blended into the sound of the tide, and the sea water and the beach shrank little by little, gradually revealing the solid wood floor on the ground of Lin An's study, and a huge pool of water quickly shrank.

Lin An squinted, there was still a faint moisture on the light brown solid wood floor, a trace of the salty smell of sea water had not disappeared, but the blond and blue-eyed figure had disappeared.

"Kid...... Oh, it seems that the emperor has made a mistake. ”

said with a slight mockery, the soft female voice gradually lowered, but the bright star-like lacquer eyes gradually darkened, Lin An's slender and beautiful eyebrows slowly twisted, and her expression gradually became an unwilling and depressed appearance, and the soft lips were slightly puffed up with a sense of flesh:

"It turned out to be what I wanted, but ...... Go! Being dumped and dumped by yourself, sure enough, the latter is more cool! ”

-- Let's get ready for retreat, and it's time to go out and understand the Dharma!

Meanwhile.

On the opposite side of Lin An's study, more than ten zhang away from the semi-circular frame wooden window, a blond man with blue face stood in the air, but Lin An and the servants below the main building seemed to be unaware of his existence.

The man looked through the window at Lin An, who had blown up in the study, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile softly:

"Sure enough, it's still a little girl, hehe...... Cats are the most rebellious of animals, and instead of forcing her, it is better to fish her away, do you say, Enleko? ”

At some point, a short and beautiful boy with a slightly sickly face appeared next to the blonde man, rubbed his eyes as if he could never wake up, covered up the light that passed under his eyes, and said casually:

"It doesn't matter, just don't be self-defeating...... By the way, Victor, come and see this little girl, does Samaranch know? ”

Referring to Samaranch, who was resolutely opposed to offending this matter among the four, the faint smile on the corner of Victor's mouth was also put away, and his clear voice really dropped to a frosty temperature at this time, and he said coldly:

"That guy with a mother-lover complex, as long as the three of us agree, does he have any objections!"

"Melissa has only been gone for two years after all, and Samaranch is understandable to resist the person who takes her place, how do you know that the other three of us will agree? Gucci's hard brick is the person Melissa really cares about......"

"Other times I'm not sure, but in this situation, Gucci, who is more faithful than a knight, will never resist, isn't it because you are convinced of this that you mention her to us?"

Laughing softly, the figure of the blonde man Victor shattered in place. Nowhere to be found.

The boy was left alone. Shrugged helplessly:

"However, as a star of balance, Melissa's status is not something that can be replaced by a random woman - although in terms of the objective and rational evaluation that a mage should have, this little girl's appearance is indeed a level higher than Melissa, but she is still too young, if she goes through another two or three hundred years, with Melissa's momentum, I don't know how many men will be worshiped under her skirt......"

The boy muttered to himself, his eyes gradually becoming a little hazy. Turning his head and glancing at Lin An in the room seriously, his rose-like lips moved. Muttered, his face was just flushed, but he suddenly yawned, and a thick sleepiness flashed, he suddenly forgot the previous thoughts in his mind, rubbed his eyes and said:

"Hey, no matter. Let's go to sleep......"

……

Palace.

Walking slowly along the corridor of the Champs, the courtiers, familiar and unfamiliar, stepped aside and bowed, although their eyes were only a little brighter than before, and the shoulder line of the leaning body was only subtly lowered by half an inch, and Charles could already feel the change after returning to the palace like never before.

He nodded his head back as usual, the curvature of his mouth even more kind, and he enjoyed the feeling of twice as many eyes on the back of his head as before.

The guards opened the double doors on either side, and Charles found that only the emperor was sitting behind a long semi-curved table waiting for him. Of course, since Master Antonio appeared when the emperor was critically ill, Charles had known about the existence of this powerful man who was always inseparable from the emperor.

Charles didn't think much about it, and he felt a kind of excitement in his heart that after the group returned, the emperor did not summon Elizabeth and Archduke Lanster, whom he urgently called back, but summoned him first, which undoubtedly represented the emperor's attention.

On the surface, his attitude was still calm, and he asked the emperor about his physical condition with respectful concern, and conveyed the state of the palace and the empress before leaving, and the emperor expressed his satisfaction at the calm of the palace after leaving, and then told Charles a shocking news.

“…… And、Engaged to Joanna?! Charles had a dry voice, thinking he was hallucinating in his ears.

"If you don't want to, so can the Saxons." The Emperor's attitude was clear, the marriage with Meryl was imperative, and the difference was only a matter of who was chosen.

Saxon?!

As if he had just realized that there was still this nephew, the emperor unexpectedly saw vigilance in Charles's eyes, and the whole person suddenly woke up from a fluttering state of mind.

Charles's mind was spinning rapidly.

"Father is wise, yes, I have heard from Master Rice about the changes in the war at the front, the rear must be stable, whether it is Meryl or Stuart, marriage is imperative......"

Having praised the wisdom of the Emperor's decision, Charles slowly and carefully prepared his words, quickly weighing the pros and cons of this marriage as he stalled for time:

Byron didn't bother, Douglas had a marriage contract, Yorkiatan was not mentioned at all, his father only considered him and Saxon, and he was informed of this decision in advance, although he was given the right to choose, but it was clear that his father preferred him to marry;

What's more, if it weren't for the hunting ground, he originally thought that Joanna was the best candidate for marriage, and Joanna's only flaw now is that she has mental problems, but as for the ** thing, it is not within his scope of consideration......

After all kinds of measurements were turned in Charles's mind, he quickly lowered his head, "...... Even if there is no war on the front, I have the responsibility to take care of Joanna for the rest of my life—and therefore I have a duty to take care of this marriage. ”

The emperor's old eyes flashed with an approving smile.
