“…… Secondly. ”

Lin settled for a moment and lowered his voice:

"If the possibility of a misunderstanding of 'the rising stars' is ruled out, then you should strengthen the control of the imperial capital."

This is actually a paradox.

The arrival of the demonic disaster is not confirmed for a day, and the imperial capital cannot really carry out wartime vigilance and management for a day.

Otherwise, once it causes panic, then don't talk about any management and control.

What's more, the security of the imperial capital has never been based on absolute control, but on the prohibition that has stood for thousands of years.

But the Emperor nodded.

Lin An hesitated.

"In addition, we also have some suspicions about the inside of the ruins, and the five crowns plan to start inspecting the ruins underground immediately after the end of the retreat, but their authority is far from enough, so ......"

Lin An glanced at the emperor.

No matter when, the content that involves the prohibition of the imperial capital is sensitive, and it is easiest to touch the emperor's nerves.

If it weren't for the pentagram being unable to get out of the customs for the time being, it would have been up to them to propose it to the emperor, which was the most suitable.

Of course, with Lin An's current relationship with the royal family, as well as the current honeymoon relationship, it doesn't matter if it is slightly involved.

As long as she doesn't get involved in specific operations and asks for permission to obtain underground ruins, the emperor shouldn't be too allergic.

"Your concerns are right - the strongest fortresses are often breached from within - and I will give them permission to inspect them."

Sure enough, the emperor didn't think it was a pestle, and looked cautious:

"There has never been any problem with the prohibition of ruins, but since the prophecy mentions that the safety of millions of people in the imperial capital is at stake, it is impossible to be too cautious."

After a pause, as if after some deliberation in his heart, the Emperor continued:

"Although more than two thousand years have passed, most corners of Starfall City have been controlled by the royal family, but there are still a small number of places that are still unsolved-"

He looked at Lin An, "I remember that the ancestors have a lot of records that have been found and rearranged from Starfall City, as well as the research records left by the powerhouses such as the pentagram in the early generation, most of which are currently in the hands of the five crowns, if you are interested, you can also participate in cracking it." ”

Starfall City is the name of the underground ruins, and Lin An has already known it from the mouth of the pentagram.

"The cracking records and materials accumulated by a ruin for thousands of years are not interesting to any mage. It's a pity that the god of time is too stingy with me, otherwise I wouldn't mind wandering in it for three or five years with your permission. ”

Lin An shook his head:

"Ruins cracking depends on experience and knowledge, as well as the depth and breadth of the magic field, in this regard, I am far inferior to any of them, so don't be ugly."

The emperor understood Lin An's concerns, and also knew that she was telling the truth, so he could only put on a sincere attitude, indicating that he really didn't mind:

"In fact, after so many generations of research, the cracking of the ruins has been bottlenecked in all aspects, and what is needed now is a special idea or vision, your master has a long heritage, and in this regard, you will not be inferior to any of them."

Under the persuasion of the emperor, Lin An thought twice and agreed to accept a part of the materials of Starfall City that were copied and burned.

The reason why he agreed was mainly because Lin An was surprised that after thousands of years of excavation and cracking in Starfall City, there was still a place that had not yet been opened.

This kind of situation is very special and makes Lin An feel uneasy.

"Don't worry too much, with the importance of the imperial capital, if the demon disaster comes, it will definitely become the main target of the demon race."

The emperor calmly appeased.

"Rice and they never knew about it, and the prophecy he brought to us just made us more mentally prepared for the coming of the demonic disaster."

"It's the prophet he said that he was able to successfully predict the affairs of the five crowns after the star orbit was chaotic, even if the time is very close, it is a treasure - if I can, I am willing to open the treasury and let them choose, in exchange for this prophetic master."

The emperor was very suffocating.

"Prophecy is such a thing that can be referred to, but it cannot be relied upon." Lin An said, "I'd rather trust the Imperial Capital City with high walls - as long as Starfall City is still around, even in the worst-case scenario, the Terrans will have a chance to make a comeback." ”

The Emperor shook his head, "This is not like you, how can you be defeated without a fight." ”

"Who told you to always hide the last card!"

Lin An blinked, "--But it's okay to make me feel that it's not the last moment yet, and I can continue to maintain hope." ”

The importance of the imperial capital is self-evident.

And its strongest point is the prohibition of Starfall City, which covers the entire city and extends to the underground, even the legendary powerhouses can only attack in front of it, and they can't bypass the front in any way and take advantage of it.

And after seeing the true face of Starfall City, Lin An understood its importance to the Merlin royal family.

The true size of the ruins is ten times the size of the capital on the ground, and if necessary, Starfall City will become the last refuge for the monarchs of the Merlin Empire.

Lin An believes that Merlin's founding emperor chose to establish the imperial capital on this ruin, in addition to the huge prohibitions that are exposed, there must also be a hole card to protect himself at a critical time.

Even, if the emperor told Lin An that Starfall City could be independent of the plane like the Tower of Babel, and become an exiled warship in the astral plane, providing the best protection for the defeated human race, Lin An would not be surprised.

Any existence with a history of more than 1,000 years is so profound that outsiders are often unimaginable.

Lin An had already learned this from the Keeper and the others.

The prophecy brought by Rice was important or not, but it could not be ignored, and the discussion about it came to an end, and the Emperor brought up the topic related to Rice's group of archmages.

“…… These are the objects that have been identified, and I have decided to deport them. ”

The Emperor pulled out a piece of parchment.

The dragon's blood graphite ink for the royal family exudes a unique fragrance of dragon's blood graphite, but Lin An has no intention of tasting it.

She took the parchment, and there were fourteen names written on it, including Master Rice, Master Ulysses, Master Felfa, and the five elders of the former Royal Esoteric Order.

"It's time to raise the stick, too." Inhaling deeply, she said.

The emperor bowed his head, and there was no joy on his face.

Expelling fourteen archmages who serve the royal family at one time is no less than breaking one's wrist, and if it weren't for the promotion of the pentagram, I'm afraid it would be an earthquake soon.

Even now, the emperor's decision is equivalent to bloodletting the Merlin Empire, which is in full swing.

However, politics cannot be considered simply in terms of addition and subtraction.

The actions of Rice and the others have completely challenged the bottom line of the imperial family, and if the emperor does not react, then the influence on the master-level powerhouse who is the backbone of the human race will no longer exist.

Neither the emperor nor Lin An could allow this scene to occur.

If it weren't for the promotion of Pentagram, the emperor and Lin An would be in a dilemma, and maybe they would have to ask the legend to help.

At that time, it was the real self-severing arm, intensifying the internal contradictions of the human race, and making the situation out of control.

This is also the main reason why the emperor hates the eldest princess so much that he can't let go of her even when she dies.

This expulsion order is equivalent to giving the fourteen archmages to Pere and the Holy Empire for nothing.

“…… It is unlikely that they will choose the Holy Empire, as for Perret. Lin An pondered for a while, "--Maybe I can find a way to lobby Emperor Jupiter." ”

……

Lancet stopped writing.

An ink dot appears on the official paper, which is extremely conspicuous.

Lancet didn't seem to see it.

He listened.

That's right, I don't know when the noise outside disappeared completely.

Close courtiers who know Lanster's preferences know that Lanster likes to be quiet when reviewing official documents.

However, in the barracks, no matter how soundproof the tent is, it is still inevitable that some noise will penetrate, even if the guards outside are all walking lightly and detouring, with the ears of Lancet's gold-level swordsman, they still can't help but catch the whisper of the friction of the transparent armor.

But now, the tent was silent, and Ranster could only hear his heart pounding, getting more and more urgent, and gradually becoming like a drum!

"Concentrate!"

A faint magical glow flashed, and Ranster's eyes became clear, and the illusion of a heartbeat had disappeared, but there was still silence in the tent, as if some kind of danger was waiting for an opportunity.

Lancet glanced at the upper right corner of his desk and sighed softly:

"Master Felfa, please come in."

In the middle of the tent paved with kudzu, there were almost no elements disturbing the space, and Master Fairfa, who was holding a long staff of star sapphire, appeared in the open space from top to bottom.

He was portrayed as an old man who looked erudite and wise, with a white beard and a long white beard that hung down to his chest, and a slightly rickety figure.

"Uninvited, I hope His Majesty will forgive."

Lancet had already put down his pen, his blue eyes quietly watching the wise and kind archmage.

"Is it really going to come this far?" He asked slowly.

The white beard on Master Felfa's chest moved left and right, "The pentagram has been promoted, and the emperor's will will probably be issued soon." ”

No, it has already been issued.

In Lancet's bracelet, there was already the latest news that Lin An had given them.

Having been in the top position for a long time, Lancet has long been accustomed to being silent, he closed his eyes and hid away the faint sentimentality and regret.

"Is it good to have a county capital?"

"It's calm." Master Felfa replied.

Due to the relationship between Master Dorrens and Uncle Adolphus, Lancet had the unequivocal support of Master Felfa, and if it weren't for this, even if he married the Merlin royal family in recent years, he would not be able to sit on the throne lightly.

So even when he sensed the motive behind the mind-shaking spell, Lenster didn't immediately trigger the alarm, and asked calmly:

"So, what do you want to do?"

Master Felfa was not surprised by Lancet's calm shock, anyway, everything inside and outside the tent was under his control.

He had already found out that there was no existence in this barracks that could threaten him.

"We want to know what Master Lin has told you since he came back this time."

"'We'?"

Lancet didn't miss this detail.

In this way, Master Fairfa was not the only one who came, and in order to get news from him, they could be said to have invested a lot of money.
