When Lin An woke up, a feeling of comfort in his whole body that had never been felt was reflected back to his brain.

That feeling is like taking a hot spring bath, the cells of the whole body have done a deep massage from beginning to end, and then get a sweet deep sleep, the exhaustion and negative emotions in the body and soul are all expelled at one time, and the 108,000 pores of the whole body are comfortable from the inside out.

Lin An stretched her body and slowly opened her eyes, the light yellow wallpaper, the soft lacquered furniture, and some unfamiliar environment imprinted into her eyes.

She was stunned, subconsciously straightened up, saw the big bed curtains and carpet furnishings in front of her, and then remembered that this was the Rose Palace, and she had been in the room, as if her cultivation was exhausted, and she passed out.

She sat on the large soft bed, and the crystal ball that held her soul fell beside her.

Lin An recalled that the memories of Kress after reading them were presented in her mind, and the answers to many puzzles that she had not figured out were finally known to Lin An.

However, the truth of some of the answers was beyond her expectations.

“…… The object of Kress' allegiance is indeed Odin...... However, Kress designed me to be dedicated to Remus, not Odin? He thought that Remus was just an archmage, because Remus showed interest in me and wanted to use me to win over Remus? ”

Lin An was stunned.

The truth of the matter is unexpectedly absurd.

Judging from Kress's attitude, he didn't take her "losing strength" in his eyes at all, just as a rare and beautiful vase, even if he later changed his mind about her strength, he didn't intend to give up the opportunity to control her in his hands.

That's why he acted in a hurry on Paradise Island, where his tracks were exposed and he was killed.

Odin, on the other hand, has never expressed his desire for her in front of people.

In Kress's memory, Odin was not a person who cared much about women at all, if it weren't for Lin An's personal experience. I'm afraid I can't match the Odin in Kress impression with the Odin I saw that night.

But Kress died unjustly.

His memory and Lin An's knowledge have many inconsistencies, he doesn't know the "fishing plan" hosted by Yorkiedan, and even Yorkboyan's appearance on Paradise Island under the cover of his identity is also an afterthought.

And her plan happened to tear a qiē calm mask, and Kress who was in the dark didn't even realize that Lin An and they had moved, and they had already faced them with Yokyadan, and he was lagging behind step by step. Finally led to a dead end.

If Lin An hadn't kidnapped Kress, Kress might have tried his best to keep Yokjadan on the island. Let Paradise Island and its many nobles bury Yorkiadan.

Then, before everyone can react, kill the rest of the threats, and even get rid of the Supreme who occupies the position if necessary, and remove the obstacles for Odin.

It was the bloody road of a mutiny.

In Kress's eyes, however, only before the other two countries reacted. After completing the entire replacement of the old and the new, Merlin's current situation can not be shaken.

I have to say that Kress is ruthless and leaves no room for error, and he can be regarded as a hero who makes quick decisions.

Tracing the style of the object of allegiance from the personality of the follower means Odin's actual means of doing things. Is it also in the same vein?

In Kressie's memory, there are also some family lists that have secretly written their names, and there are many big families among them. Of course, most of them are still some middle-class nobles who are eager to rise to the top.

Odin doesn't let Kress know everything, on the surface, Kress and Odin don't have much contact, but with what Kress knows, Lin Andu can already clearly feel that Odin's wings are full.

If it weren't for the emperor's growing old age. And Merlin's external war situation needs to gather all their strength to fight, and the father and son have big ambitions. Unwilling to lose the opportunity in front of him, he must work together to maintain the stable situation in Merlin, and perhaps the palace coup d'état of the previous generation will also be staged in this generation.

Merlin has not had a usurper emperor for many years, and the emperor has more than one brother in the same generation, but in the end, only Prince Cyril remains.

Lin An stretched his body, got off the boat, walked barefoot to the bathroom, opened the gold outlet carved into the shape of a lotus, and the warm hot spring water flowed out.

When the bath was full, Lin An undressed and soaked in the water, slowly combing through Cress's memories in his mind.

The soul that was collected into the ghost crystal at the beginning was incomplete, so Kress's soul memory also had a lot of missing and faulty traces, which needed Lin An to connect little by little, and even reason about it.

One of Kress's purposes for establishing Paradise Island was to gather information.

However, Paradise Island has been established for five years and officially opened to the outside world, and it is only a matter of one or two years, although Kress has collected a lot of information, but it is fragmented and intricate, and the real core is not too much.

Lin An only skimmed over this part of the information.

Intelligence is worthless if it can't be used to aid in planning.

She doesn't have as many manpower resources as Kress and Odin, she can verify and even collect evidence, secretly hold other people's handles in her hands, and even use power layout design, so for Lin An, this information only makes her know more about the secrets of Merlin's upper echelons, and the effect is better than nothing.

But Lin An still remembered some of the secrets of the nobles of the family that were more important or had heard of them.

And Cress's memory of Odin is, of course, the most important.

But some of Kress's memories about Odin and his family are missing in many places, and the missing parts are still very critical, lacking those memories, Lin An can only take fragments and scrutinize them.

That's why Sidney said that Kress was tenacious and persistent.

Dead souls are not as conscious as living souls, and will resist soul stripping, but after death, they will also have the obsession of life, and Kress has a deep obsession after death, which directly leads to the loss of a considerable part of key memories.

Therefore, Lin An can only observe Odin's character from the perspective of Kress and the way Odin subdued Kress and got along with him afterwards.

Of course, this is not very comprehensive, after all, Odin will not show his full personality in front of his subordinates, and Kress's awe of Odin will also lead to a deviation in his impression of Odin.

Kress's impression of Odin is mostly similar to what Lin An knows.

From birth, he was endowed with high expectations, excellent talents, and deep castles. He is steady and calm, but he has a prestige that other princes can hardly achieve among the upper echelons of the aristocracy.

Odin is also very strict and self-disciplined in private, and has been practicing martial arts hard all year round, and has always been the first person in martial arts among his brothers. Moreover, he has never shown his hobbies in front of outsiders, giving the impression of being deep and fair, and having a natural bearing that is intimidating and following.

Odin has a clear distinction between public and private, does not like luxury, and does not like people to prying into his family's privacy.

His wife. The princess of Windsor has given birth to two sons and a daughter for him, and the youngest daughter is four years old. The eldest son was seventeen years old, only two or three years younger than Andrey.

Odin plays on the field, but never keeps a mistress, the eldest princess of a prominent background has a stable position, but she is very low-key. rarely appears in front of people, compared to the second princess who is famous for her virtue and talent and the approachable, kind and gentle third princess, this eldest princess is like transparent, not like a royal lady.

"Possessive, self-controlled, urban, power-hungry, and unconstrained by worldly morality...... Conceited, even a little stubborn. Sensitive to privacy, in front of subordinates, used to maintain a mysterious and unpredictable image......"

Lin An slowly analyzed the information he knew so far.

Now that the enemy of Odin has been identified. It's only now that it's starting to understand, and it's even too late.

The other party is secret, I don't know how much information about her has been collected, I'm afraid that her bright experience from the rock castle to the imperial capital has been put on the right plan.

It's just analysis to analyze and go. Lin An never found the reason why Odin was infatuated with him.

From Kress's memory, Odin had no special penchant for women. Women have never been used to vent, and he never even thought that Odin would have a crush on her, otherwise he would never have hit her with his mind in order to win over Remus.

Of course, Odin is unfathomable in front of his subordinates, he never shows his desires to the public, and Kress, as a subordinate, also knows his taboos and does not dare to violate Odin's bottom line.

"A near-perfect heir to the throne, if someone can afford to maintain Merlin's current situation, and inherit and realize Merlin's efforts for generations, then at least seven adults will be in favor of him for the time being...... Merlin is creating a big picture. ”

Saying to himself here, Lin An slapped the surface of the water, and the water splashed, "No one is flawless, I don't believe you don't have a trace of shortcomings!" ”

Even if she really didn't, she would make it for him!

The more he learned about Odin, the more Lin An had a sense of crisis:

The old emperor was over sixty years old, and then he could reign for more than ten years, which was already quite a long life among emperors.

Lin An didn't dare to place his hopes on the old emperor's lifespan, and ten years may not be enough for her to comprehend the law and advance to the rank of archmage.

During this time, once Odin succeeds to the throne, it is difficult to say whether he will go crazy and do anything.

The first and second people of the empire are the two positions of the abyss, Odin is good at forbearance and self-control, but the deeper the desire is suppressed, the more terrible it is when it explodes.

Lin An had a faint intuition that if Odin succeeded to the throne, the situation around her would be very bad, after all, she was no longer alone, and she had a considerable family business and involvement.

No matter what the possibility is, it must be strangled in the cradle, and if it is really the general trend, even she can't stop it, then at least she must have the status and strength that can't make Odin move lightly, or arrange a way out.

Lin An stood up suddenly, wiped his body with a bath towel, then put on his robe and walked out of the mist-shrouded bathroom.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a maid's voice whispered outside:

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

"Come in." Lin An frowned slightly, lifted the mechanism that was originally set up at the door, and responded.

The maid in a goose yellow silk skirt carried her skirt and walked in with her head bowed.

She didn't dare to look up, she only glanced at Lin An with her peripheral vision, and then she was slightly stunned, feeling that this Purple Rose Lady seemed to have changed something.

But she can't say what the specific changes are, she just feels that her face is still the same beautiful and delicate face, but it seems to be less aggressive and aggressive, as if there is a little more light and inclusive, and there is an indescribable and very natural atmosphere.

When the maid saw Lin An for the first time, she only felt that the other party was so beautiful that she was ashamed of herself, but at this time, the envious and jealous temperament had disappeared, and the maid felt a sense of closeness in her heart.

Just as she was stunned, the maid heard Lin An's faint voice, and suddenly woke up to her gaffe.

"I'm not telling you, I don't need to eat. Don't bother me with anything? ”

Hearing this, the maid didn't dare to look at Lin An anymore and lowered her head.

"You haven't been out for a whole day and a night. There is total martial law in the palace, and you can't enter or leave inside and outside the Rose Palace, because the movement is too big, and I am worried that you will be disturbed, I have knocked on the door twice, but you have not responded, so ......"

"Full martial law, can't enter or leave the Rose Palace? What happened? ”

Lin An's eyelids jumped.

She knew Odin had been spilled with LSD. It is very likely that he will find out when he returns, but according to his style, I am afraid that no one will know about his intentions for her. will only bury this matter, let alone make a big battle, could it be that she guessed wrong?

"Don't you know?"

The maid was surprised, and then a pillar of light suddenly appeared in the center of the palace, and the magic circle above the entire imperial capital was forbidden to appear. Fifteen-ten-one-ten-fifteen-ten-ten-fifteen-ten

The ban on the magic circle has no effect on ordinary people, and a maid who does not leave the Rose Palace can't tell the changes outside the palace, but she just describes the situation at that time repeatedly.

The spectacular sight of the huge magic circle upside down in the sky above the imperial capital and ten thousand filaments of light hanging from above was enough for them to remember for a lifetime, and it could be used as a conversation that would never go out of style.

Lin An was taken aback and asked carefully about the situation and time when the vision appeared.

Before coma. She held on to her awareness of the outside world until she finished reading her memories and fell unconscious.

But for the last impression before the coma. I also remembered the feeling of warmth and comfort like a baby soaking in amniotic fluid, that feeling was very familiar, it was the feeling of being infiltrated by the power of nature, Lin An had felt it many times before.

The source of the force of nature, needless to say. It's also the inexplicable contractual connection between them, which has mutated to the point of being on her side. It's coming from it.

At the end of Lin An's memory, he no longer had the concept of time, but from the speculation before and after, plus the maid said that she had been closed for a day and a night, it could be roughly inferred that the time when Titi transmitted the power of nature coincided with the time when the magic circle forbade the vision.

"What has happened to my contract with Titi? How could it be able to transmit the forces of nature to me in the palace, and even trigger a circle reaction?

And depending on the situation, the force of nature was not suppressed by the prohibition of the magic circle, and it worked on me. ”

This is a very strange thing, coupled with the appearance of a vision, Lin An can't help but think about it.

"When was martial law outside, and the Rose Palace was surrounded by palace guards? What's going on out there? ”

Lin An asked a few questions.

Fortunately, the maid was prepared, and the change in Lin An's breath also eased her tension, so she replied in an orderly manner:

"The vision only lasted about thirty breaths before disappearing, and then the palace guards sealed the Rose Palace, and we couldn't find out about the outside news, but if we heard some guards leak it, it should be that the entire palace is under martial law."

Lin An nodded, her heart was slightly relieved, as long as it wasn't specifically aimed at the Rose Palace, whether it was because of Odin or the force of nature, it was not good news for her.

And now it is not certain that the vision of the magic circle is due to the force of nature, but obviously the force of nature has not been discovered, which makes Lin An feel relieved, but also a little puzzled.

Lin An walked to the windowsill, and sure enough, he saw that the gate of the Rose Palace was closed, and the maids who occasionally walked by were light-footed, careful and quiet, and the white cloister stone pillars saw that although there were people walking, the overall atmosphere seemed silent and silent.

However, the looks of the maids were roughly the same as the maids behind Lin An, and they were cautious, not flustered, and there was no strong uneasiness or sneakiness.

Lin An was relieved, thinking that even if the one in front of her was from a movie queen, it would be impossible for the entire maid of the Rose Palace to have superb acting skills, so that she couldn't see the flaws at all.

The maid behind her didn't know Lin An's suspicion of her, and only guessed that this lady was cultivating behind closed doors, and she didn't even notice what was happening outside, so she thought about it for a while and asked carefully:

"The kitchen has enough ingredients, and there are meals ready at any time, the lady has been practicing for a day, do you need to eat?"

"I'm not hungry." Lin An said.

But she paused, then changed her mind, "Forget it, bring the food, you can come alone, I don't want to see so many people." ”

The maid should be, bring the menu, and after Lin An ordered it casually, the maid quickly delivered the meal

"Put it on the table, you go down first." Lin An was still standing on the terrace.

The maid had already seen Lin An's quirks. He set up the silver plate in order, stood the tray in front of him, lifted his skirt, and was about to retreat, when suddenly a scream came from outside.

It was a high-pitched female voice that startled the maid.

The source of the sound came from the back door blocked by the Rose Garden, and the terrace where Lin An was located was blocked by a few big-leaf privets, so he couldn't see the situation clearly, so he took two steps on the terrace and turned his head. To the maid he said:

"Don't go down and take a look!"

As he spoke, there were several more shouts, obviously male voices. Lin An's face changed when he saw the maid.

She lifted her skirt, gave a hurried salute, and immediately trotted out, closing the door a little louder.

Lin An frowned, and saw that several maids also appeared under the terrace. A few steps towards the back door, there were some maids poking their heads in the window corridor.

After a while, Lin An saw the maid in the goose yellow silk skirt appear in the corridor, she should be a high-ranking one in the Rose Palace, and the other maids bowed when they saw her appear. Follow her.

When the maid arrived, there was a commotion in the direction of the back door, and the men's heavy drinking was mixed with the women's sharp cries and angry rebukes.

Lin An calmed down. It doesn't look like something big is happening.

She looked at a big-leaved privet on the opposite side of the terrace, and counted the number of its branches, and when she counted to thirty-seven, the sound of the quarrel became louder and louder, and then suddenly calmed down. It was like he was suddenly gagged in his throat.

"It should be someone who can take care of things." Lin An guessed.

After a while, the group of maids returned again. Among them, there is also the goose yellow silk skirt that served Lin An, and their expressions Lin An couldn't see clearly, not like they were wilted by punishment, nor like they had been greatly wronged, but all of them had a dull feeling.

After a while, Lin An's door was knocked again.

Lin An raised his eyebrows, counting the steps, the maid came to her directly after coming in.

"Come in."

The maid pushed the door in and saluted:

"Your Excellency, Count Jefa passed by just now and put an end to the dispute. He asked me to bring a message, saying that he was very sorry that he had disturbed you by the uproar just now. ”

"Count Jefa?"

Shouldn't he be by the emperor's side at this time, why did he suddenly come to this remote corner?

Lin An's eyes flashed slightly, "What does this have to do with him?" ”

The maid endured her anger and said, "Among the guards who made trouble just now, one of them is a subordinate of Master Tulan, the nephew of Count Jefa, and they don't know that you are in the Rose Palace. ”

Oh, in other words, it was a few palace guards who made a lot of noise just now, and Count Jefa's nephew was the captain of the palace guards, and he probably happened to be assigned to guard the Rose Palace, otherwise Count Jefa would not have happened to come to such a remote place.

Knowing the role of the parties, Lin An guessed what happened just now.

The blockade of the palace guards was blocked from the outside, and those guards ran into an empty palace with only maids through the back door, and it can be imagined that there was no good intentions.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in remote palaces, and although chastity is also valued in the customs of this world, it is not uncommon for commoner women to be robbed of their virginity by nobles.

Looking at the appearance of the maids, you can know that they usually swallow their anger a lot, after all, if there is a noble woman who lives, those guards don't dare to run to make trouble, and the screaming maid is only relying on Lin An here, so although it is not a big deal, Count Jiefa still has to give Lin An an explanation.

"Are you all alright?" Lin An asked.

The maid bowed her knees deeply, "Thank you for your concern, the sisters are all right." ”

"Count Jefa is still waiting below?"

"Yes."

"That's a rare thing, he's a busy man, I'll go down and take a look." Lin An didn't ask again, and lightly transitioned the topic.

The maid is very grateful, it is women who suffer from this kind of thing, if they meet a lady who does not know the world, a sense of justice or something, and then they are unlucky.

She was about to come up to help Lin An, Lin An waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to help, and let her lead the way.

Count Jerfa was waiting in a white-pillared pavilion covered with vines.

Behind him was a waiter and a tall guard, and the six guards who were tied up were escorted by a team of guards, who had just turned out of the back door and left Lin An's sight.

The tall guard was the nephew of Count Jefa.

He watched Lin An walk slowly, his eyes were straight, and he subconsciously followed Count Jefa to meet him, and he didn't wake up until Count Jefa signaled for the second time, his face turned red, he hummed and apologized, and chewed the words in embarrassment and incomprehension, trying to erase Lin An's previous bad impression.

Count Jiefa couldn't smile bitterly, and after retiring his nephew, he knew that Lin An didn't care about what happened just now, and only asked Lin An if he was used to living here, and there was nothing inconvenient for the maid to serve.

These words are very ordinary, but his attitude is gentle and approachable, he does not have the frame of a celebrity, and he knows how to be a man.

Lin An had a few words with him, and then asked about the situation in the palace.

What Count Jefa said was not much different from that of the maid.

It's just that he added a piece of information, that is, after the manifestation of the ban on the magic circle, the forbidden power suddenly increased, strongly suppressed the energy, and destroyed a lot of magic circles and real yàn, and the treatment of the five princes, at that time, was at a critical time, and Master Rice fell short, and as a result, the toxicity was even stricter.

Thank you, baby baby, for eating a big pink ticket! o(n_n)o~ It may be dry or something recently, the eyes are always tearful, today I went out to face a gust of wind, and the eyes that were originally just a little waterlogged wept, and I was startled by the neighbors next to me...... So I hurried to the pharmacy to buy health eye drops. Character card: Count Jefa - Alvin. Jiefa, the emperor's first close courtier, forty-nine years old, was born in a small noble, an unreal nobleman, good at greeting and observing words and feelings, often entering and leaving the palace, and controlling some of the palace guards. ps: About yesterday's text, a bug was found in the party's children's shoes, that is, Lin An didn't know that Kress was going to win over Remus and designed her, but yesterday's text was written, so I wrote it by hand, and now that chapter and today's text have been changed back, Lin An only knew the reason after reading the memory today. \(\)
