"The world is so interesting, those who want to know are always the last to know, and those who don't want to know are often the closest to the truth."

The emperor recited an ancient proverb with a smile, as if he hadn't heard Lin An's mockery.

Lin An sighed secretly.

Of course, she knew that her verbal attacks were ineffective against the Emperor.

Perhaps for the vast majority of the elderly, when they are dying, the relatives and children gathered around the bed only care about the inheritance and distribution ratio of the property behind him, which is a great sadness, but the old man in front of him is not an ordinary old man.

In the face of death, even the most powerful people will show weakness, and Abraham the Great's calmness and calmness, even Lin An has to say that he admires.

Not everyone can have such a bearing when they hear about their own death.

But this admiration was not enough to soften Lin An's will.

The topic has a tendency to develop in a certain direction, and a similar tendency has not happened for the first time in the three days that Lin An has been with him, and Lin An's reaction is the same as every time.

"It seems that your essay has been almost processed, and it is time for you to rest."

Glancing at the wall clock with concern, Lin An stepped forward lightly, the faint greenery had condensed on his right hand, and he was about to repeat his old trick and help the emperor lie down and sleep, but the emperor grabbed Lin An's hand.

The power contained in that withered and old hand made Lin An have to stop his movements, raise his face, and look at the emperor.

"Why refuse?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Lin An smiled.

The emperor was unmoved, staring at her.

"Now that you've come here, and since you've chosen Merlin, I think you've always been sober and understand what the best choice is, and you've not let your mind be blinded by what happened before—"

Lin An still maintained the same smile, but there was already a slight mockery in his black eyes, and the emperor sighed, knowing that the past was still too deep in the heart of this female mage.

In fact, if it weren't for the current situation, how would the emperor be willing to see Lin An, her sustenance, always reminding him of Odin's death, as well as the endgame revealed and guided by the palace change and his desolate evening scene.

This is the greatest stain and trauma in the life of Emperor Alabham.

But as an emperor, personal feelings are always put behind the overall situation.

"Merlin needs you and you need Merlin for at least ten years."

The emperor calmly stated a fact.

Lin An raised his eyebrows.

"There must be enough understanding and trust between you and Merlin." The Emperor accentuated his tone.

Lin An put away that fake smile and stood up straight, although she didn't show a look of deference, but the silence had already expressed her attitude of listening.

The emperor took a sip of natural water and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with a white silk.

"At the moment, you are the one who knows the state of the Demon Realm best."

"This determines that once a war breaks out, at least in the early stage, your words can greatly affect the strategy of war - every decision and every word you make may be able to affect the life and death of thousands of civilians and soldiers, and even the direction of the war situation!"

"However, there is a premise for this."

What this premise is, it is already self-evident.

"The army is the siblings of a nation, the nobles are the torso, the emperor is their head, and you will be part of the brain, helping and guiding the siblings to victory - what do you think will happen if the torso and siblings find that their heads and brains are at odds with each other, or even against each other?"

Lin An hugged his chest and said lightly: "It sounds like I've been bound to the ship." ”

In the name of justice, the heavy task of saving the world or something, there are not too many film and television novels in the previous life, so much so that it seems to have become a joke, which makes the audience who has long been tired of information bombing aesthetically numb, just like the protagonist is not worthy of one or two savior halos, and he will save a city or country without moving, as if he is sorry for the audience.

But those who are truly immersed in the scene will understand the cruelty and burden that is represented in it.

Lin An is still far from being a savior.

But she also had to admit that what the emperor said was indeed the truth.

One sentence can decide the life and death of many people, it sounds very majestic, very cool.

But when you think that behind every life, there is a family, and the sacrifice of a soldier means that a family loses its pillar - an elderly parent loses a son, a wife who is waiting for a wife loses her husband, and a child who is waiting to be fed loses a father......

A battle can cause dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of families to lose their loved ones, and tens of thousands of people to weep, creating boundless blood and tears.

This cruel reality, which can be expected to happen, is the reason why Lin An can't say excuses in a chic and easy way.

At the same time, she also knew that the emperor had seen through her bottom line.

"Don't be so repulsive, young man."

The emperor said calmly,

"If this is a ship, and a ship where all races are in the same boat, Merlin is only the most likely one at the helm - and that's because of you."

"On this boat, there is not much difference in the weight of each person - if the demonic calamity really comes, the probability of the emperor suffering the blue eye of death will not be less than that of a civilian."

These chicken soups for the soul, you might as well pour them into others, Lin Anxin thought.

She was silent for a moment, "I hope that your next appointment will inherit your wisdom and determination." ”

The emperor smiled, only the subtle lines at the end of his eyes relaxed, showing the real change in his heart.

He smiled and said, "The Saxon is a smart boy, he can sit in this position." ”

"I hope." This result was not unexpected, Lin An said lightly, "You have always been very adventurous, I hope your luck this time is the same as before." ”

She did not express any objection.

No matter how much she rejected and struggled psychologically, Lin An's reason still told her very clearly how to choose.

If the time goes back to two years ago, someone told Sù Lin An, she would take the initiative to jump into the big quagmire of the Merlin royal family, get mixed with them, and watch Odin's son ascend to the throne, and may even become his help, Lin An will definitely use a big fireball to paste that person's face.

But when it really happened, Lin An found that she was in a calm mood.

Part of the reason for this is because before she came, she had already estimated this and was mentally prepared, but on the more important part, it should be a change in mood:

After the demon world and his party shattered Angus's plan, and after seeing Hades the Great, Lin An's vision has improved too much, coupled with the improvement of strength, whether Saxon can inherit the throne no longer affects her.

The emperor also saw Lin An's mentality, which was both happy and complicated:

Happily, Lin An's attitude meant that her hidden danger in the matter of Saxon succession was far smaller than the emperor had originally expected - considering the fame and prestige that Lin An could expect to be in the possible coming disaster, this was undoubtedly good news.

The complication is that this girl is progressing so fast! It's so fast!

It's fast enough to break people's prophecies and expectations about her again and again! It's so fast that you leave everyone behind and can't keep up with her!

The emperor almost watched Lin An's progress, and it seemed that since her news began to appear in people's field of vision, every time he saw this female mage again, he would find that she had transformed.

What's even more terrifying is that what she has transformed and sublimated is not only her strength, but also her vision, experience and heart that match it.

Lin An's progress speed is easy to give people the illusion that she is advancing by leaps and bounds and is unstable, but those who have seen her and understand what she has done will understand that the description of being young and vigorous and impulsive is completely untenable in this female mage. Many of the things that Lynn did could even be described as scheming and acting, rational to the point of coldness.

"With such an age, such talent, such strength, and such a background, she does have the qualifications to be calm in front of anyone."

The emperor thought to himself.

He rarely regretted a decision in his life, but at this moment, doubts arose about a decision in the past: perhaps, the decision to isolate her from the royal family was not the right one......

“…… The master seems to say that she is now on the verge of promotion......"

“…… In the later stage of the Demon Disaster, the population of the continent was not one in ten, and almost none of the original ruling class of the Magic Dynasty was spared......"

“…… With the prestige and prestige of my Merlin royal family, once the demon army crosses the border, the first target must be my Merlin royal family......"

“…… Quiet. After all, Lin also has royal blood......"

“…… In the current situation, each other's attitudes have softened, do you take this opportunity to break the ice......"

“…… After all, blood relatives may be able to help in the future, and even if they can't, they won't be enemies......"

“…… In order to pass on the ......"

No matter how slightly his chest tingled, reminding him of the pain of losing his son as a father, but at this moment, the emperor was just an emperor who had worked hard for the continuation of the imperial family and the inheritance of the empire, and there was a balance in his heart, coldly calculating every inch of gains and losses, and giving up a personal emotional impact.

If necessary, even his life can be put on the side of the balance that the representative has abandoned.

Lin An didn't know about the emperor's change of mentality, she was sitting in the magic quiet room arranged for her by the court mage group, "preparing" for tomorrow's ceremony - in the eyes of outsiders.

In fact, this kind of divine ritual is already the second time, and with Lin An's comprehension of divine power, he has long been familiar with it.

Using the materials allocated by the inner library to arrange the magic array, and dividing a large part of the remaining materials into his own space, but without the joy of doing another vote at all, Lin An fell into meditation and silently reflected on the original plan.

Suddenly, my heart moved, and my spiritual power sensed that something in the imprint space was hitting the inner wall.

Lin An leaned in and saw that the thing that was moving was a token, and his heart moved, and he couldn't help blurting out: "It's here!" ”

Eighty miles away from the imperial capital, above the Sword Saint Mountain, the wind and clouds suddenly changed.
