Chapter 541: Backtracking
There seemed to be a sound outside the door, it seemed to be the sound of the guards moving, and probably the emperor's low roar just now was heard outside.
But strangely, after a short noise, the guards outside did not break in, and the noise subsided.
Lin An was a little surprised.
Before the ringing stopped, she felt a faint ripple. she
Turning his neck, which was a little numb and stiff from the cold, his mental power no longer stared at the emperor, but put his perception to the maximum.
Finally, she caught a trace of an extremely vague aura, so faint that Lin An suspected that it was an illusion, making her a little unconfident in her powerful spiritual power for the first time.
"It seems that the emperor still has a personal strong guard by his side, if he is always by the emperor's side, then when I met the emperor before, didn't I always find out about his existence?"
Lin An was a little incredulous, but he knew that this was the truth,
"Yes, as the highest secular power, the emperor has such huge resources, as the last layer of protection by his side, the emperor must spare no effort to provide for him, and it is not surprising that there are any special secret methods or spells that can evade my perception."
In terms of spiritual power, Lin An boasted that he was the first person under the legend, but he still unconsciously underestimated the people of the world, and he was a little vigilant at this time:
No matter how powerful the talent is, there must be something to restrain it in this world, and I encountered an example in front of me.
When Lin Anxin was shocked, he didn't know that the person hiding in the dark was also secretly surprised:
Lin An's spiritual power has reached an extremely high level in terms of control power and essence, and he just showed some traces because he stopped the guards outside from entering, but he didn't expect to be smelled by this little fox so quickly.
Because of his vigilance, Lin An no longer stayed in his position with a leisurely appearance.
Her spiritual power condensed the fire element, and a faint red flowed through, and the thin frost powder on her body disappeared. It is easily evaporated by the fire element.
Rice was alarmed by Lin An's mental power fluctuations, and immediately found that she had no murderous and dangerous actions, and only glanced at her, and then focused his attention on the emperor's father and son again.
"If it weren't for the fact that he had known that he was York-Ardan, I really wouldn't have seen any clues after this scene." Lin Anxin thought.
But Jokjardan interrupted her thoughts with a violent cough, and he coughed hoarsely and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yokyadan has just lost a lot of blood in the detoxification. ...... go on like this."
Master Rice's words are self-explanatory.
The emperor's face turned pale, and he looked at his son, who was still kneeling on the ground. His chest rose and fell a few times, and he suddenly looked up at Lin An:
"Give me Odin's antidote!"
The implication is that the antidote is exchanged for Lin Anhuo.
But when the emperor's words fell, York's expression tightened, and Lin An's expression was instantly cold and cold:
"He's not dead?"
Her mental power fluctuates with the fluctuation of her feelings. The atmosphere in the room instantly became calm.
"Be careful!"
Master Rice let out a low snort, and the Emperor felt a suffocation of air condensation at the same time, and his skin could feel the slight stinging sensation brought by the cold killing machine.
Master Rice raised his hand and waved his staff, and a golden shield covered the emperor's father and son, isolating the killing intent caused by the emperor's words.
To be dragged by love in front of the enemy is the most stupid.
Lin An returned to his senses. The killing machine brought by the spiritual power was only fleeting, and the state of mind was immediately controlled, and the spiritual power was restrained. The killing machine in the air disappeared suddenly.
"I thought, it's time for me to go,"
Looking at the emperor's father and son in the blindfold, Lin An evoked a false and cold smile, "Farewell." ιxiΓ . β
"You can walk out of this room, can you walk out of this palace?" The Emperor's cold voice came from behind him.
"It seems to be in His Majesty's heart. Compared to His Royal Highness Jokjadan, His Highness Odin is heavier. β
As soon as Lin An turned around, he felt an invisible wall of air blocking in front of him, and smiled lightly.
"I just don't know if His Majesty will protect Odin indefinitely, and even if he conceals his martial artist rank as a Silver Sword Saint, he doesn't care."
The emperor's body shook, and Yokjadan raised his head in shock, not even caring about the blood foaming from his mouth.
"It seems that His Majesty also knows!"
Lin An caught the emperor's reaction and tried out the answer in his heart:
Odin's advancement to the Silver Sword Saint was not only hidden from the outside world, but even the emperor didn't know about it.
After all, according to Lin An's thoughts, no matter how kind an emperor is, he will not give a son who is already so powerful in personal force with the strength of an entire royal guard, unless he thinks that he has been sitting on the throne for too long and wants to bow down early.
Of course, it is not excluded that the father-son relationship between the emperor and Odin is unexpectedly good.
But what does Lin An think, the emperor's desire for power is strong, and he is not like the kind of emperor who will have a heart-to-heart with his son, in this regard, Odin is completely in the same vein as the emperor.
ββ¦β¦ Miscellaneous...... What...... Odin...... He...... Ahemβ"
The shock in Yokjadan, who heard about it for the first time, has not subsided.
"You don't have to worry, now that he's gone, unless he's a Golden Sword Master, then there's a chance of recovery,"
Lin An still couldn't help but show a hint of calm in his words, "It's really beyond my expectation that he can live until now-Speaking of which, I have exposed a big lie for His Majesty, you ......"
"Shut up! You shut up! β
The Emperor shouted angrily.
Lin An felt a gust of wind sweep by.
Her face changed slightly, and she turned around suddenly, and a white sacred torch suddenly appeared in her right hand, but her black hair was still silently missing a small half-end, fluttering and falling in the air.
But the other party is not comfortable either.
Within the scope of the torch's illumination, two black blood marks appeared on the carpet, which was quickly corroded into a hole, and the stench of burnt fur came out.
However, although he was illuminated by the torch, the other party still easily escaped.
"Necromancy...... No, shadow mage? β
Lin An said coldly.
The other party didn't make a sound, it seemed that he was just trying to teach Lin An a lesson just now, otherwise he would not be able to stop the other party's attack just by hoping for the holy light of the torch.
Those two blood seals were just because the other party didn't expect that Lin An had the hope that the torch would be such a magic weapon that restrained the dark power.
"Forget it, let's go."
The Emperor's cold voice came.
"Father...... Ahem! β
"Majesty?"
Yorkiadan rejoiced. And Rice was surprised.
As if Rice wanted to say something, the emperor waved his hand.
"It's all like this, can I still let Master Lin stay here?" The Emperor took a deep breath, "Odin is not dead after all. β
Jokjardan's eyes flashed with ecstasy, not only because the emperor finally relented, but also because of the disappointment in Odin revealed in the emperor's words.
It was a very subtle and subtle change of attitude, but Yokyadan understood the importance that the emperor attached to Odin, and if it was changed to before, whether there was hope or not, the emperor would do his best to keep Lin An. And he did not hesitate to kill the person who almost made him lose his heir.
But Lin An did not ignore the murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, although Odin disappointed the emperor, he still could not let go of the attempt to kill the prince in the palace. even almost made him lose his second son.
In particular, Lin An also knew what Odin was hiding.
Although this is not a weakness and a scale, it is a shame for the emperor, a stain, and it is known, as if he is always in the shape of his failure and stupidity as a father.
She shifted her gaze to Yokjadan. The latter had already been distracted by the meaning revealed in the emperor's words, otherwise he would not have been able to detect the emperor's intentions at all:
He just said "I can't keep Master Lynn here", where did he mean that? Palace? Maple Palace? Or is it just this room?
"You made a wise decision!"
Lin An smiled slightly, and there was a mockery under his smile, "But His Royal Highness Yokyadan did not hesitate to hurt his own body in order to help me." In order to repay this friendship, I also asked His Majesty to allow me to stay and take care of him day and night until he recovered. β
The emperor's face changed suddenly. Immediately knew that Lin An had already seen his murderous intentions.
Of course, Yokyadan and Rice were not stupid, and they immediately understood Lin An's intentions.
ββ¦β¦ Father! β
Yorkiadan's face turned pale for a while, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staring at the emperor with a look in his eyes as if to say:
Is it at the cost of my life? It's not enough for you to let her go?
Yokyadan's vomiting of blood made the emperor's heart tremble, and at the same time, his face turned blue with anger.
He stared at his youngest son. I don't understand what kind of medicine he took wrong, but he disobeyed himself wholeheartedly for this woman, and even joked with his own life.
As a biological parent, for such disobedience to his own blood and blood, even if he knew that he was not for that position, the emperor also felt a heart-digging pain:
As a father, who would have thought that his parents and daughters, who continued his bloodline, would threaten themselves with what they had given!
He pointed at Yokjadan, his fingers shaking, "Good! Hello! β¦β¦β
He was so angry that his hair was shaking.
Jokyadan kneeled at his feet and hugged his knee, but he was completely speechless because of his coughing, but the meaning of the plea was very obvious.
Rice, who was on the side, saw that the situation was almost over, and finally spoke up again, and said:
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Yokyadan does not have a deep relationship with Master Lin, and there is no private relationship between men and women in her, and suddenly risking her life like this, I am afraid that there are other hardships and internal feelings."
He paused, and then said, "As far as I can see, His Highness Yokyadan has not been hit by any control spells or drugs, and his consciousness is completely awake. β
The emperor's trembling hands paused, and York's motives, which had been puzzled since he came in, also restrained him, and made him unable to make a decision lightly.
Otherwise, with the storms that the emperor has seen in so many years of his reign, where would he be restrained by such means, Rice would have been allowed to do it a long time ago.
He asked Rice with his gaze.
Rice replied: "I can't see it either, but it should have a close relationship with Master Lin, if it is just this life-saving grace, His Highness will not be spared, after all, Master Lin has been duly rewarded." β
Saving?
The emperor's mind moved, and Huo Ran came to his senses:
In addition to the life-saving grace of detoxification, Yorkyardans also received a life-saving grace not long ago, and that was in ...... Paradise Island!
In the emperor's mind, an invisible clue is connected: Paradise Island, Saving Grace, and Legendary Shot......
"Could it be that Paradise Island was the legendary shot behind Lin An?"
The emperor thought to himself, secretly frightened.
Even if it is an emperor, it is impossible to kill a legendary disciple in front of a legend, especially in the cause and responsibility of the incident. Most likely, it is mainly on the premise of the emperor's side.
"Nope! If this is the case, it means that the person is probably near the imperial capital and can be reached in an instant, but if this is the case, this Master Lin will not need Yokyadan's help at all. β
That legend may not be in the imperial capital now, but it should not be far away, and for a powerhouse of that level, the short space distance is just a blink of an eye.
That strong man even took action in the crisis since Paradise Island appeared before. has already shown that he attaches great importance to Lin An, a junior.
It's just that with their habits, unless it is a certain death, they will not take the initiative to help their juniors. They will only hide in the dark and observe.
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt unsafe, as if there was a pair of eyes around him that were coldly observing him.
He knew it was just an illusion.
Merlin has been building the capital for so many years, and no foreign legendary powerhouse has ever been able to sneak into the palace range. Even if the opponent wins the forbidden pendant, the upper limit of the energy of the pendant limit will not be able to exert martial arts and spells beyond the level of the archmage.
But even if there was only this possibility, the emperor would not be able to risk moving Lin An.
"Yokjadan may have known something, and even though he was weak, he would stop me from attacking this woman at any cost."
The Emperor thought silently. I already have a little bit of good intentions in my heart, and compared to Odin, this little son finally made him feel a little better. At least it shows that as an emperor and father, he is not really that defeated.
But the coldness on his face did not fade, and he looked at Yokyadan, whose face was covered with blood under his feet, for a moment, and said in a deep voice:
"You take the antidote first."
Yokjadan did not move, looking up at the Emperor. Resisting the blackening in front of him, he tried to express his persistence.
The Emperor saw that the blood from Yokjadan's mouth and nose was getting less and less. His complexion was a deathly gray, his face was furious, and he roared:
"You take the antidote first, even if you want to threaten me, you have to save your life first!"
As if he was forced to agree by Yorkydan, he suppressed his anger and stared at Lin An and said, "Look at your fate, if Odin can survive, you don't have to pay for your life." β
In fact, if that legend was really near the imperial capital, the emperor would not be able to let Lin An pay for his life.
Rice knows best about Odin's injuries and the progress of the development of the antidote, and when the emperor said this, he basically wanted to release Lin An.
"Majesty XiΓ understood." He sent a message to Yokjardan.
Yokjadan turned his head to look at the emperor, and the emperor was furious:
"Look, what I say, I won't betray my trust in front of you! Or do you really want to shed your blood? β
Yokjadan was no longer able to speak and argue, he was very weak when he choked, his eyes showed joy, a crystal bottle appeared in his hand, and his hand shook and fell to the ground.
The Emperor pretended to be angry, and the muscles under the wrinkles tightened as the crystal bottle fell.
With the help of a mage, Master Rice picked up the crystal bottle that had rolled out of the grunt, pulled out the cork, and gave it to Yokotatan to drink, and then poured several bottles of blood tonic and precious potions to replenish his vitality.
Yokjadan relaxed, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted:
Adding up the detoxification and this bleeding, he lost at least three-quarters of the blood in his body, and it was not easy to stay awake now, thanks to the support of many tonic potions.
But he didn't wait long, and after Master Rice had dealt with his injuries, he went out and ordered the guards to summon him.
It didn't take long for the news that Alberta and several other masters had developed an antidote.
The antidote was finally prepared, which meant that Odin also survived.
Yokyadan was both disappointed and relaxed, he didn't care about Odin's life or death, his face was relaxed, he still stared at Lin An, and said weakly to the emperor:
"Father, please...... Allow me, personally...... Send Venerable Lin...... Leaving the palace ......"
The emperor pursed his lips, his nasolabial folds were deeply engraved at the corners of his lips, and he looked at him coldly: "You can do what you want?" Do I, the father, dare to stop you! β
He ignored Lin An, as if he didn't want to look at the two of them again, and left with his sleeves up.
Master Rice looked at the Emperor, left some medicine, and left with him.
ββ¦β¦ Prepare the car. β
Jokjadan weakly ordered his men to pick him up and send Lin An out immediately.
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about my impulsiveness, he is now tightly protected, even if I have great ability, I can't kill him again." Lin An said coldly.
She didn't expect that. She will also hear the news of Odin's survival with her own ears, and the murderous opportunity in her heart at that moment is suddenly born, but with the previous awakening, she did not show her feelings again.
But after all, she has calmed down a lot, and Odin is not dead, but it is not bad news.
His vindictive spirit has been ruined, and it is still known to the emperor, and the position of the first heir is already unstable, compared to Yokjadan's actions this time. On the contrary, there is a faint tendency to catch up.
Odin in the past was too strong and perfect to be invulnerable, and this time the aura peeled off. It will only cause his younger brothers to rise up and devour.
Lin An really wanted to see what kind of expression Odin would look like when Odin peeled off his undefeated golden body little by little, and finally lost the throne he dreamed of.
"His fighting spirit has been ruined, and even if he detoxifies, it will not be able to recover. There is also a rift in the relationship with your father, and his two biggest hole cards as the first in line have been destroyed, but you have received the greatest benefit, which is really impermanent. β
On the carriage that slowly galloped out of the palace, Lin An said lightly to York Yadan.
Yokjadan smiled and whispered weakly, "If you're willing to help me......"
"If only I were on your side. It's your turn to be suspicious of the Emperor,"
Lin An's eyes flashed, "What's more." I can support you, I can support others, and even if you are in a position, you will have to sleep and eat restlessly in the face of me. β
ββ¦β¦ Scold. You're right. Yokjardan stopped talking.
He would not ask Lin An, who had three legends behind him, to support him on the bright side, even if Lin An was willing. He didn't dare, but Lin An's change in verbal titles had already shown that their personal relationship had gone further.
Yokjardan understood and was satisfied that his purpose had been achieved, and his heart said, in the end, such a wise man is easy to speak, and he understands a little.
β¦β¦
The emperor walked in the cloister, the night wind with dew blew, and the guards behind him hurriedly chased after him with a large coat, but he waved back impatiently.
Master Rice saw that he had something on his mind, raised his hand and motioned for the guards to retreat, and with a few movements of his fingers, a thermostat enveloped the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it's very late at night, you better go back and rest, there will be a court meeting tomorrow."
"Rice, Star Banner ......"
The Star Banner is used to monitor the movement of all forbidden pendants, especially the pendants that recognize the owner and enter and exit the palace range, which will always appear on the Star Banner, and if a legendary powerhouse quietly takes the pendant from the person who owns the pendant and re-recognizes the owner and opens it, such a change will definitely be displayed on the Star Banner.
And the abnormality of the pendant within the palace is easier to check, just look at the trajectory of the stars entering and leaving the palace tonight.
But the emperor had the heart to ask, and as soon as he was halfway through the conversation, he realized that this question could not be spoken, so he changed his words: "...... The Star Banner, is it with you? β
Rice thought that the emperor remembered the pendant that Lin An took out, so he said:
"Your Majesty, you forgot, I sent an apprentice to fetch it before, but before the apprentice came back, someone sent by His Royal Highness Yokyadan came."
"Well, I remember, the star flag should still be with you, let's go see it immediately."
Although the matter ended like this, the legend would not do anything about it, but the emperor still felt that he had to confirm that the safety of the forbidden magic circle was a guarantee that Merlin could last for thousands of years, and there could be no mistakes.
Rice has no doubts.
Every emperor of Merlin attached great importance to the prohibition of the magic circle.
Rice became the first great mage of the court, in charge of the star banner for nearly a hundred years, experienced three emperors, that is, the most industrious previous emperor, every two or three months, he also had to see the star flag, and this majesty XiΓ had to take a look at it in ten days and half a month.
The Star Banner and this forbidden circle are one, and its specific origin is a secret of the Merlin royal family.
Rice vaguely knew that the Star Banner and the Forbidden Circle were all related to the ruins of the huge dungeon under the imperial capital, and the flying boat destroyed in the legendary battle was from the underground city below the imperial capital.
But although he has been in and out of the dungeon many times, Rice still has not been given the control authority of the dungeon, and every time he enters and exits the dungeon, he must have Merlin's bloodline to open the exit.
And in the eyes of outsiders, Master Don Quixote is the guardian of the dungeon of this generation.
And in this generation, the reason why Yokyatan was arranged by the emperor to go to the path of mages is to become the next guardian of the dungeon ruins after Don Quixote.
Because as early as when the ancestor of Merlin discovered this dungeon and obtained the permission, the permission was set to be only obtained by the bloodline of the Merlin lineage, and the control method of the forbidden magic circle was only known to the previous emperors.
If the forbidden circle on the ground is the strongest shield in the imperial capital, then the ruins of this dungeon under the imperial capital are the foundation of Merlin's origin.
But this time the emperor didn't just want to see the star flag, it seemed that there was something else to do, so Rice left the emperor in the room where the star flag was placed and withdrew himself.
But only about half an hour later, the emperor pushed the door out, his face could not be concealed with astonishment, and there was a faint smell of fresh blood on his body.
"Quick, stop Master Lin, don't let her out of the palace!"
As soon as the emperor saw Master Rice, his first sentence immediately blurted out!
