After pondering for a long time, Lin An took out a blue crystal from the space.

The crystal is like a cloud of silver dust wrapped in it, and if you look closely, you will see that it is actually a pale silver symbol, spinning all the time.

Enter the mana and the silver symbol glows.

"Master Lin?"

Master Grant's voice came from the crystal:

"Is something wrong?"

"Nope."

Lin An said, "That's the case, Master Grant, I want to return to Pompey immediately, and the authority to lead the team is temporarily handed over to you, if your majesty has something urgent, please tell me." ”

Master Grant was slightly surprised, answered, hesitated for a moment, and finally didn't ask, "...... Your Majesty may also recruit us, so please come back as much as you can. ”

"Okay."

Putting away the blue crystal, Lin An took out a staff inlaid with green crystal and began to chant the incantation.

Space fluctuated, and a portal appeared in front of her.

With a slight churning of magic power, Lin An stepped in, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared on the side of the road less than two hundred zhang away from the east gate of Pompeii City.

It was late at night before dawn, the stars and the moon were hanging high, Lin An thought that there should be no one outside the city, but he didn't expect that as soon as he stepped out of the portal, he felt two eyes.

Turning his head, a pair of tenant father and son stood four or five feet away with their burdens, and after a while, they all exclaimed:

"Undead, ahhh!!hhh

They threw down their burdens and ran away without looking back.

She's just like that?

Lin An couldn't cry or laugh, slightly annoyed.

When the spatial coordinates were originally determined, she only considered that the East City Gate was more familiar, so she chose the coordinates here, and now it seems that it is better to choose a secluded wood.

In teleportation spells, the portal security is higher, but not absolute.

Because the portal is not transparent, from the naked eye, it looks like a constantly rotating mirror, and if you want to see the scene on the other side through the portal, you must master another spell - [Perspective Portal].

It's a level 4 spell that takes at least two or three months to master.

Lin An didn't have so much time, so when choosing a teleportation destination, he tried to choose a place that he was familiar with or had put down the teleportation mark.

Not far from the road is a small forest of sparse dwarf pines.

Lin An flew in that direction, placed a magic marker next to a wooden pier in the pine forest, and carefully looked at the surrounding environment, keeping the general layout in mind.

Before casting a spell on a portal, you need to determine the coordinates and outline the general environment of the destination in your mind.

That is, the portal can only teleport to where the caster has been.

This problem was solved, and before the city gate was opened, Lin An directly took the forbidden pendant and flew over the city wall stealthily.

Because of all kinds of concerns, Lin An didn't want too many people to know that he was back, so after a little hesitation, he directly crossed the palace gate and waited under the small-leaved privet tree last time.

The man who came to borrow her was still Master Alberta.

She was obviously surprised, but she didn't ask anything, Lin An only said to her, "I want to see ...... 陛xià. ”

Two months ago, the Saxons had officially ascended the throne.

Due to the preparations for the war, the enthronement ceremony was the most hasty and simple in several generations, and only the Royal Guard held a military parade and sword awarding ceremony.

The other ten major corps are all guarding the border pass, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to send the elite legion back, so they can only accept the sword award from the new emperor on their behalf and swear allegiance, which has to be said to be an irreparable regret.

It is said that the emperor still held a grand celebration.

But Lin An, who was thousands of miles away, did not see that grand occasion, and only knew from Ludwig's message that the Saxons had ascended the throne, and the current situation was quite stable, and the Saxons and the important ministers and nobles were still running in with each other, and there was no conflict for the time being.

In the past, the title of "majesty" belonged to another person, and Lin An was still a little unaccustomed to it.

The death of the old emperor is still like yesterday.

Master Alberta had already adapted to the change of the palace master, nodded slightly, and took Lin An towards the Champs.

After entering the Champs, Master Alberta took Lin An to a fork in the road where the sycamores of the four seasons were planted.

"Master, this doesn't seem to be the direction leading to the main hall."

"Because the funeral of the former emperor was too simple, in order to express the mourning and nostalgia, His Majesty sealed the apse of the Champs, and is currently living in the side hall, and the courtiers built yì to expand the side hall, which was rejected by His Majesty."

There is no such thing as mourning clothes in this world, and it is already a very grand mourning for the Saxons to do this.

Whether he really wanted to miss his grandfather or appease the important ministers left behind by Emperor Abraham, this move was not bad.

Lin Anxin thought.

When I came to the side hall, it was already brightly lit.

Richly dressed courtiers came and went, holding stacks of inscriptions in their hands, walking lightly and quickly, and the court guards standing outside the cloister watched everyone's tongguò, five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post, and the smooth marble floor reflected the flash of their armor.

Lin An was slightly surprised and glanced at the eastern sky.

A hint of fish belly white has just appeared on the horizon.

The Saxons turned out to be working so early for the day.

When he came here, it was inconvenient for Master Alberta to speak directly, and he said:

"Recently, when His Majesty can't sleep five magic times a day, fortunately he is a young man, otherwise even if his body can support himself with medicinal potions, his spirit will not be good."

Lin An sighed secretly, and the fire faintly burning in his heart slowly subsided.

The Saxons also did their best.

It is unfair to compare a new emperor with an old emperor who has been on the throne for more than 30 years.

It's not that Lin An doesn't know this, it's just that the current situation has put forward higher requirements for the Saxons and all of them, so the Saxon flaws have been exposed.

Under normal circumstances, the Saxons might be as good as Abraham the Great.

As soon as she made such a psychological transition, when she saw the new emperor again, Lin An's words were not too sharp, and she just informed the emperor of what she had seen and heard in Redstone City.

Saxon didn't dare to ignore any of Lin An's words, and after listening to it, he fell into deep thought.

He didn't speak, but others wouldn't let the atmosphere cool down, and a courtier in his fifties next to Saxon said:

"Master Lin is worried that the nobles of the Holy Noche will drag the commoners to self-destruction?"

Lin An glanced at the speaker and vaguely remembered that this was a member of the emperor's think tank assigned to the Saxons, and it seemed that his name was Roosevelt.

Although this person is from a commoner's background, he is a down-and-out nobleman, he has good ability, and he has always been loyal to the Saxons, looking at the style of his clothes, he is already a court viscount, and he must have been a celebrity in front of the new emperor, no wonder he dared to speak at this time.

Since the other party asked, Lin An replied, "More than that." ”

The courtier didn't care about Lin An's coldness, glanced at Saxon, and continued: "Then what do you mean......"

Lin An had already reacted at this time.

Emperor Chrysostom said that every sentence and every action would make his subordinates ponder it repeatedly and have different interpretations.

In order to establish prestige, maintain the majesty and mystery of the superior, and also to avoid mistakes, many emperors will have such a "spokesperson" around them.

That's what Perret's Julius the Great did.

The courtiers around him were more difficult than the emperor, and John spent a lot of money just to get rid of these people, so it was described in the sticky notes.

Lin An is not used to it, because there is no such role around the old emperor.

Even before the palace incident, when Count Alpha had not yet fallen from power, this red courtier did not take this route beside the old emperor.

However, once a prince and a courtier, Lin An did not show surprise, and quietly changed his attitude towards Roosevelt, and said calmly:

"I'm worried that the nobles of the Holy Nuoche may become lackeys of the demons."

Hiss......

There was more than one person inside and outside the room who was monitoring and protecting the emperor, and among them was the faint aura of the Golden Sword Saint, as soon as Lin An said this, four or five gasps sounded.

In the past two months, the emperor has experienced Saxon, and his reaction is not so great, but his face has changed slightly.

He finally asked, "Did Master Lin find something?" ”

Lin An frowned and swallowed what he was going to say.

"Not yet." She replied, "But there is something wrong with the atmosphere of the Holy Noche, and I think, perhaps, that it is necessary to prevent it from happening." ”

The Saxons were not relaxed by this frivolous answer.

He knew that Lin An would not be untargeted, and she came back in person to warn herself, she must have noticed something.

I just didn't think of this possibility before, but as soon as Lin An proposed it, Saxon immediately realized the previous blind spot.

From the previous signs and the solemn treatment of the legends, the Saxons knew very well that this demon disaster would be an endless war with no compromise at all.

But he knew it, but no one else knew it.

After all, it has been more than 2,000 years since the last demon disaster, not to mention that almost all the people have regarded the demon disaster as a legend, so why not the nobles?

Even the Holy See, the greatest contributor to the last demon disaster, reacted when he heard the news, and he wanted to use this opportunity to reshuffle the cards and make a comeback, and the problem of fighting the demons was put on the back burner.

Even, for the Holy See, the more demonic plagues the Race, the more noble the reputation they will gain.

This is the fundamental reason why the Holy Empire sits idly by and sees the desperate situation of the Holy Noche Kingdom.

Since ascending to the throne, everything has been complicated, and the lower lords are not as stable as they seem, and the Saxons have focused on the overall situation, and have invisibly ignored the problems that may arise at the lower levels.

The atmosphere in the study was unusually heavy.

He and Viscount Roosevelt glanced at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

"In the early days of the last Demon Plague, the Magic Dynasty was a unified dynasty, and most of the nobles were mages, and there were no traitors who joined the Demon Clan's camp, so we inadvertently missed this possibility-"

Viscount Roosevelt said heavily:

"Now it seems that since someone can betray the bloodline, it is not impossible to betray the race in order to survive!"
