h2> crisp horse bells came at the end of the straight official road.

The noble carriage, drawn by four white pure-blooded Coloms without a single hair, came to a halt at a gallop.

The captain of the knights who were guarding near the carriage hurriedly raised his hand, and the sixteen horses raised their front hooves high and fell, neatly as one, just from the momentum, it was enough to see the elite of this team of guards.

"Your Excellency Salin, is there something wrong?"

The captain of the knights lifted the reins of his horse, walked over to the carriage, knocked on the window, and asked in a low voice.

He heard the sound of the occupants of the car buttoning the windows and telling the driver to stop.

"Wait a minute."

The captain of the knights had no objection.

Although he had not been following this young mage from a civilian background for a long time, he had long understood that this deep-minded Lord Saleen never did anything that did not mean anything.

In his eyes, the other subordinates had consciously shrunk, and formed an oval protective formation with the carriage as the center.

The Captain of the Knight was satisfied.

It is right to be so vigilant.

The days around His Excellency Saleen have not been peaceful.

Through disaster relief, he became famous in the Principality of Magic and Stuart in a short period of time, gaining fame and fortune, even though many people knew that His Excellency Saleen was tough in the background, but he still stood in the way of many people.

Faintly, the knight captain seemed to hear a faint sigh from inside the car.

The windows opened.

Saleen's face was revealed, expressionless.

"Let's go back, you don't have to go."

He pulled out a golden pocket watch, glanced at it, and asked an unrelated question:

"The last time the supplies were shipped to the south, they were swallowed by the Gisele family?"

"Yes."

"Change the order for the Hand of Shadow, and nullify the Emissary."

Didn't you say to teach a lesson and just scrap a hand?

Captain Red was puzzled, but didn't ask.

Intuition told him that Lord Saleen was in a bad mood.

The dusty procession turned around and headed back towards the Principality of Magic.

……

It was more than 300 miles southwest of Salin's location.

Above the lush forest, a large, flattened red flying carpet slowly appeared.

The white-clothed and white-pants-like girl warrior who looked like an ice and snow fairy jumped down from the flying carpet, stood on the thick branch of the banyan tree, and waved his hand.

"Go ahead!"

"Shiryl, go back by yourself, be careful. ”】

Andrei shows his head on the flying carpet.

["Also, keep an eye on the dead old man, don't let him mess up the matter that Ann explained to us! ”】

Sheryl couldn't bear to turn around, and jumped lightly off the tree, her figure disappearing into the dense forest.

The flying carpet disappeared again, and the faint magic fluctuations disappeared in a flash, changing the direction it originally headed north and flying west.

……

The majestic Pompeii City gradually appeared in Lin An's sight.

Looking down from the sky, the fields are continuous, Qianmo divides the earth into squares, the breeze brings the fragrance of wheat, and the cyan wheat waves indicate that this year is another good year.

Cultivating tenant farmers, oxen, horses, wagons, small, low-slung villages, official roads winding along the wheat fields, caravans and vehicles flowing, silver ribbons of rivers, boats coming and going, docks crowded with people, busy with goods coming and going.

This is the most ordinary scene within five hundred miles of Pompeii.

Judging from this scene alone, no one can connect Merlin to war.

But the traces left by the war on Merlin have not disappeared.

On the way to Pompeii, Lin An saw many makeshift shanties outside the city and disaster victims gathered near the city gates, large areas of fertile and flat fields were barren, they had lost their owners, and there was no one to cultivate.

Many young men fled into the mountains to avoid military service and became bandits, even if Lin An was hurrying in the air, he had seen caravans blocked and robbed by bandits.

Under the busy surface of the wharves and farmlands, many civilians had no food and clothing, could not support their wives and children, and had to sell themselves into slavery, or surrender their fields to big merchants and nobles for refuge.

This is the reality that Lin An saw in the materials that Lancet gave her.

The war is pumping Pompey's blood little by little.

It's just that Merlin's behemoth is too big to fall yet.

The empire is too big.

Even at Lin An's current flight speed, he hurried almost without rest, and it would take a full five days to travel from Sana'a tundra to Pompeii.

It's getting closer.

The blue-black city wall built with bluestone mined from his body, five feet long and three feet wide, had already faintly appeared in Lin An's sight.

The group of magic towers standing on the Crescent Moon Continent stretched out a barrier covering a radius of thirty miles, like an acropolis, and the Sword Saint Mountain in the southwest was the horns of each other, and there were eight large fortresses lined up, guarding the huge Pompey.

This is the center of the human race, stationed with 80,000 standing troops, the first male city in the Muse Continent that countless people are curious to yearn for.

Merlin Imperial Capital, Pompey.

Lin An found a dense forest and lowered Feiyun down.

When she landed, she retracted the clouds, and the branches and leaves of the forest made a faint sound, like the sound of the wind blowing through the tips, and and William poked their heads out of the woods.

Titi "didn't wear" black armor, and Lin An gave him the "illusion of Aegis", making him look like a normal light leather armor guard, but William, who had a huge body and a single horn, followed Titi's side, and this kind of normality looked more conspicuous in the eyes of those who cared about it than before he didn't hide it.

These two guys couldn't bear to fly in the sky with Lin An, chasing Feiyun, and going over mountains and mountains on the ground.

William's fur was shiny and smooth, like silk satin, without any debris of branches and leaves, but there were two dead leaves on Titi's shoulders, and Lin An saw it and helped him pick it off.

This time when she entered the city, Lin An didn't plan to attract attention at the beginning, so she chose to line up to enter the city.

Pompey's population movement was enormous, and the queues into the city were long, even at the gates where the nobility entered.

Moreover, Lin An found that the supervision in front of the city gate was much stricter, and civilians needed to show customs clearance documents or household registration certificates to enter.

After Lin An changed his appearance, he still showed himself as a mage, and the robe on his body also changed colors and styles, turning into an ordinary white robe.

She took Titi and William in the shadows behind them, and entered through the gate, still stopped by the mage's apprentice who was inspecting, respectfully asking where they were from.

This is already within the forbidden range, and Lin An has placed the forbidden gem in the space to avoid being detected, so he can't cast spells above level 2.

She glanced at the inconspicuous brooch with spiritual spell fluctuations on the apprentice's chest, and when her lacquered eyes touched the apprentice, the apprentice's eyes flashed a brief blank, and she returned to normal, and asked Lin An a few questions, and in the eyes of the soldiers next to her, there was no problem with their answers at all.

But they didn't realize that after Lin An walked into the city gate, the apprentice returned to his position, but he did not record the origin of Lin An's name in the corresponding position.

As time passes, they forget about the master and servant.

Even if Pompey suddenly swept the whole city in the future, no one would find out that these two strange outsiders who had entered the city did not exist on the list of search comparisons.

Lynn and Titi quietly returned to the Earl's Court.

Prior to this, Lin An first went around the Earl's Court and found three surveillance eyeliners.

She used the Soul Secret Technique to control the three people, and upon investigation, she found that one of the three people was Bishop's subordinate, one was from York-Yadan, and one was from the Imperial Capital Supervision Department.

All three are well founded, and can be called a bright line.

Of course, there were more than so few eyeliners that originally monitored the Earl's Court.

But Lin An disappeared for a short time, and he was forced to leave in front of everyone, and it seemed that the possibility of peace was too small, so later the eyeliner of all parties was taken back, leaving only these three people.

He had long known that he was "killed" and "cursed", but at this time, Lin An still couldn't cry or laugh.

The Earl's Mansion is very deserted, but the roads are clean, the flowers and trees are neatly trimmed, and there is a big gap from the desertion that Lin An originally imagined, and it seems that it is still operating normally, but there are many fewer servants, and it seems very quiet.

Back in the master bedroom, the room was spotless, and there was still the smell of the sun on the pillow of the bed, it seemed that even if Lin An was not there, the bedding of this bed was still drying every day, and there was no relaxation.

"Hannibal is helping Johann in Danton, and I remember it was Bedika who stayed at the Earl's Court." Lin An was a little moved.

In the case of completely negative news from the outside, Bedicka was able to maintain the Earl's Court in an orderly manner without slackening, and this loyalty and belief was no longer in vain Lin An's bet on the two sisters.

It is said that Afra is also good, and has become John's right-hand man in maintaining the situation in Danton with Hannibal.

But Lin An did not summon Bedika.

She opens the secret passage and enters the underground laboratory with.

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter.

As Lancet said, Pompey is currently in turmoil, and Lin An doesn't want to rush into the promotion and leave himself with trouble, but he won't go to see the old emperor so unprepared.

"This thing is very dangerous before it is combined, but in Pompeii, it is the right time and place, so you don't have to worry about being accidentally blown up......"

Lin An waved his hand, and after the violent mental power fluctuations, many large stone slabs appeared in front of her, Lin An was in good spirits, and muttered:

"Let's get started......"

……

Half a day later, Lin An wiped his cold sweat and walked out of the real room, showing his exhaustion, as if he had experienced a big war.

"Oh my God, I almost died in there!"

She still had fear in her eyes, palpitations, and patted her chest.

"I really don't know if Lulu wants to protect me, or if they want to fix me, get this thing, and almost didn't die in the hands of the enemy, they killed me first......"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's good that I'm smart and take advantage of Pompey's location......"

"By the way, who designed the shape of this thing? It must be Lulu - if you take this thing out later, the enemy won't die laughing before being killed......"

She complained in her heart for a while, went back to the bedroom, took a sneaky shower, and fell asleep.

After waking up, Lin An and Titi went to the kitchen to secretly get some hot food, and after eating and drinking, they slowly took out a pendant chain decorated with a huge sapphire.

……

In the underground ruins of the Royal Palace.

"Huh? The energy consumed today seems to be a little abnormal......"

Worf Sword Master scratched his head, stood in front of a red crystal pillar, exhaled a faint smell of wine from his mouth, and muttered to himself, "Lao Tzu won't be so unlucky, just when it was my turn to be on duty, there was an abnormality...... Well! ”

His gaze swept over the wall hanging on the side, and at this glance, he couldn't take his gaze back!
