Chapter 388: Private Conversation and Lin An's Malice

Rheinthal and James sent Lin An and the others out of the door, standing in the doorway and watching the backs of the two gradually moving away.

The two returned to the room and dismissed the attendants.

The remnants of the table had already been cleaned up by the attendants in a very short time, leaving only an empty table, and the slightly hot aroma of food seemed to linger around the table.

The two of them didn't care, and pulled out high-backed chairs at random and sat down.

Rheinthal leaned back in his chair, loosened his cuffs, unbuttoned the first button of his neckline, and looked a little lazy, the bright and steady white light of the light stone lamp falling behind him, making the handsome face of the young man a little hazy.

He twisted his neck vigorously, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that James had lifted the spell on his body, and the staff had clicked at himself in the air, and the aura of the spell flashed in him.

Rheinthal only felt that some invisible barrier separating him from the outside world had been lifted in his body, and the feeling of being bound suddenly disappeared, as if his body had reopened to the outside world.

"Aside from facing the masters and the Sword Master powerhouses, it's the first time I need to deliberately use this kind of spell barrier to isolate perception when I meet,"

Rheinthal shook his head, his deep gray-blue eyes flashing with an unknown light, "What we didn't expect was that what we needed to guard against was a young female mage who was no more than double ten...... Hey, I suddenly feel a little old. ”

Based on Lin An's age, if Rheinthal had married and had children earlier, they might have had a child about the same age as her.

And anyone who knows her talent can't help but marvel that she is a favorite of God.

"She has indeed grown into an equal being worthy of our fear, which does not make her less threatening because she is young, on the contrary, youth and talent are precisely what deserves our most attention to her."

James changed his previous obsession with Lin An and commented.

When Lin An suppressed the hooked nose in the mage tower before, he showed a strong spiritual power, and the purpose of Rheinthal's private banquet was to observe Lin An, not to be observed by her, so of course he had to let James set up a spell to shield the perception on the two of them in advance.

This is a matter on the surface, and Lin An is also aware of their jealousy of their perception, so he knowingly acquiesces.

"I thought that her wisdom and prudence were the qualities that could help her go further."

Reinthal recalled that for the matter he and Lin An discussed later, they had a mutually satisfactory result, and the matter about the female mage, after this private banquet, was almost the end of it for Rheinthal.

Rheinthal stretched out his hand to his friend, and his graceful movements revealed a kind of mastery of the body, showing that the Overseer also had a good martial arts.

"Looks like you've lost your bet!"

James snorted, "If you can see her for what she really is, then you will definitely think that even if we lose the bet, it will be worth it." ”

He had a look of "you missed a great opportunity".

If Lin An was here, he would understand why James had repeatedly swirled around the topic of her appearance before.

A private bet between two men.

-- Even if they were born and raised like Rheinthal, they still couldn't change some of the boring tastes that men had for women.

"I think I'm glad that if she's really capable of 'fascinating' any man, as you say, perhaps with the quality of her private banquet, coupled with her beautiful looks, I might really be unable to help but fall under her skirt.

You know, even if you are full of praise for her appearance, then I believe that she really has an irresistible "temptation" for men with normal "sexual" orientation! ”

Rheinthal squinted, hiding the overly rational feeling given by those gray-blue eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up the standard arc-

"Now the point is, you lost me a bet, of course—"

Rheinthal shrugged, "You can also choose to break the contract, I have no promise to you, and Uncle Bernard Shaw and I have long been used to it!" ”

James blushed, a little annoyed, and said angrily:

"Don't use the old man to provoke me! Do you think it makes me happy to see your smiling face all day long? Just do it, isn't it just one thing! ”

"Okay then. When I send the secret letter back to the imperial capital, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be very interested in meeting this beautiful person--the bet I want you to fulfill is to escort this An. Master Lin returned to the imperial capital,"

Rheinthal waited for James's words, and said, "It is now the first month of awakening, and the deep river outside the imperial capital should flood again, and it is time for His Majesty to move back from the Winter Palace to the Golden Palace of Loxena—after being away from the imperial capital for so long, I really miss the lively event that lasts for a whole month every year!" ”

James's face turned blue and white.

Rheinthal described the most nostalgic years of his youth, and the entire prosperous and majestic imperial capital left the imprint of their wanton youth.

And since falling out with his family and walking away from the ice field, in the past ten years, except for Rheinthal, a good friend, James has never met an old acquaintance, and none of the people related to the blue lion have appeared in front of him.

But his friend mentioned the old man before, and it touched the deepest pain in his heart, why didn't he understand that the gambling contract that his friend asked him to fulfill was just a step to get him down?

Reinthal saw his friend's vacillation, and said earnestly:

"Go back and see Uncle Bernard Shaw! No matter how much you love that boy back then, for him to fall out with his family, ten years, it's time to move!

You are the only son of Uncle Bernard Shaw, the first heir to the Blue Lion, who raised you, and you are obliged to take on the responsibilities that you should have assumed long ago - and don't forget, there is also Aunt Léa in that family, and she is the one who suffers the most between her son and her husband......

According to the last time I received a message from the Imperial Capital, Aunt Leia's old "hair" disease has relapsed - her physical condition has deteriorated a lot in the past ten years! ”

A woman, no matter how strong and capable, when she is a wife and a mother, will inevitably make her heart soft and easily hurt.

Thinking of this, Rheinthal couldn't help but think of the black-haired female mage who had just left, thinking of her "sex" and the age when her relative talent and strength were too young, and a dark "color" flashed in her eyes:

"Old friend, in addition to being young as a kind of capital, it is also the root of impulsive mistakes and emotional things!

Especially compared to you and me back then, she has more coveted talents and potential, but she doesn't seem to have enough protection...... And in the imperial capital, there are too many hunters who are good at hiding and qualified to covet her! ”

James didn't know what his friend was thinking.

He leaned back in his chair, his face almost parallel to the ceiling, one hand casually resting on the armrest, bangs covering his expression, and after a while he said:

“…… Let me think again. ”

He stood up with a blank face and walked out the door step by step.

……

Lin An and the two walked in the dark and quiet barracks, and the fluorite lamp in the hand of the attendant who led the way flickered.

Back in front of the igloo, the squire who was guarding the door immediately greeted him as if he had something to tell him, and the squire who led the way immediately resigned with amusement - he had seen the Overseer and Master James personally bring them to the door, which shows that the Overseer took the two guests of this private banquet very seriously.

Lin An's attendant saw that Sidney had no intention of leaving, and Lin An didn't care about motioning for him to speak, so he said in a low voice:

"Your Excellency, Venerable Burren and Venerable Julie both came over when they heard that you had left the customs, but I said you had gone to the feast, so they just sat down for a while and left—they didn't meet."

"Well, I know, send them a message separately, and say I'm back, a qiēshun lì!"

Lin An walked into the igloo and spoke, his eyes swept over a letter pressed on the small table in the outer room, opened it and looked at it twice, his eyes softened, and added:

"It's getting late, let them not come, if you hear any rumors later, don't worry."

She paused, then looked at the attendant again, "This sentence is also for you, be strict, I don't like the grass on the wall, and I don't want my private situation to leak out, understand?" "The net doesn't skip words.

This attendant's identity is quite innocent, at least Lin An didn't sense anything unclean about him, so he just simply knocked it.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The squire's head pressed even lower.

Lin An waved his hand and asked the attendant to go out to deliver the message.

After the attendant left, Lin An opened the magic circle in the room, and Sidney, who had been silent, spoke: "Is it okay to participate in the development of mineral deposits with the Rheinthal family?" "The net doesn't skip words.

He was referring to what Lin An and Rheinthal discussed at the end of the private dinner: the exchange of merit for a stake in the development of the mineral deposit, and later the dividend income.

"What's so bad? Do you want to take over the territory yourself, and then go through a series of procedures to develop the mineral deposits on the territory, and also have to take the trouble of managing the menial affairs, considering the cost of doing business, and dealing with the exploitation of the overseers sent by the emperor? ”

Lin An tilted his head and said lightly, "The most important thing is that Rheinthal will not invest in me so early, his construction will definitely cross the clear road, so as long as His Majesty permits, the mineral deposits can immediately enter the development stage and realize benefits."

Otherwise, if I have to wait until the end of the war, maybe I won't be able to wait that long for the speed of my promotion! ”

In terms of meritorious deeds, it is generally necessary to wait until the end of the war. The goal that Lin An wanted to achieve was also an obvious exception, and Lin An also figured out Guò Rheinthal to see if that Majesty had a certain limit of tolerance for herself, and whether she intended to suppress her development.

"But he asked you to stay here a little longer, and wait for the summons from Master Mourinho."

Sidney was not surprised to see Lin An frowning in distress, he smiled silently in his heart, even he knew a little about the affair of Mourinho, the young ** teacher.

"Wait, huh!"

Lin An sensed a pleasant affection from Sidney and glanced at him.

"But we can't do anything to take advantage of our Overseers.

From today onwards, I will say that there is a problem with my retreat, and although I have successfully opened up the magic pool, I have left a lot of trouble and need to retreat! ”

Lin An's red lips were slightly hooked, and a trace of malice flashed in his dark eyes.
