A gloomy and cold voice sounded, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Andre strode towards him with a heavy face, the constant magic aura on the mage's robe lined him with a fierce momentum, followed by Shirhel Johnm and others, hugging Lin An in the middle.

Andre's face was gloomy, but in comparison, Lin An, the bitter master, was much calmer, and his expression was faint and he couldn't see any emotion. She walked to Andre's side and stood still, patted Andre's hand comfortingly, that flawless face was like a jade sculpture, and her deep black eyes swept over everyone lightly, compared to Andre's hazy gaze, Lin An's gaze was like flowing water, without a sense of threat.

This does not mean that Lin An is not angry, since she appeared, she has not glanced at James Leonardo and others, you must know that they talked to each other the day before and signed a contract with a smile.

James didn't react to this, Leonardo touched his nose with a wry smile, and Master Kodiak jumped up like an electric shock: "Andre, how did you guys get out?" ”

Andre snorted coldly and didn't answer, and everyone was in a commotion, speculating about the relationship between Andre and Master Kodiak, and he was able to show his dissatisfaction to the master in public.

The guards behind Viscount Yot and Baron Adelaide were secretly nervous and stared at André uneasily: this mage had clearly shown hostility, and it would not be good for them if the master stood on his side again.

At this time, Cassandra's loveless female voice sounded:

"Master Andre asked to leave the tower, you didn't ask me to imprison them."

Master Kodiak glared angrily, while the others were startled by the sudden female voice, and turned their heads around to see where the people were, most of them did not know about the existence of Talin, except for James.

Lin An looked coldly at the two strange aristocratic men beside Master Kodiak, they were tall and strong, and their bearings were calm. Even though the atmosphere is tense now, he is not as tense as the guards behind him, although he frowned, his expression can be called calm, Lin An secretly positioned himself in his heart, these two people are not easy to mess with.

Andre came out one step ahead of them and listened to the self-introduction and later apologies of the two, while Lin An and the others were one step slower, only hearing the apology of Baron Adelaide on behalf of the family, although they did not know the exact identity of the other party. But it is already clear that the other party is a representative of the Adelaide family.

Andre stared at Baron Adelaide and Viscount Yot with an unkind expression, and the two of them were also surprised by the appearance of Andre, a mage who was obviously close to the master and was on Lin An's side:

As soon as Andrei appeared, he tore away the whitewashed appearance of calm. Even if there was a conversation between the master and Cassandra, it did not ease the atmosphere much, and Andre was not moved by other circumstances at all, his cold gaze did not stop looking at Baron Adelaide, and the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.

Baron Adelaide certainly couldn't be unresponsive to the hostility of the official mage. The guards behind Baron Adelaide clenched their long swords, and Baron Adelaide slowly put away his humble expression when he apologized to the master, lowered his face, and looked at Andre without giving in.

Viscount Yort, who was standing with him, also saw Lin An.

The faint moonlight sprinkled on her dark purple robe, like a spirit under the moonlight, and the bright and mysterious beauty was different from what she usually saw. There is also a light and seductive beauty, and while Viscount Yort is amazed, he also secretly understands Tiffany's madness:

A calm and peaceful woman. Knowing that after her husband admired such a threatening woman, he would be restless and unable to calm down, not to mention that Xiao Beelzebub also died indirectly because of Lin An!

He thought to himself that there was still room for redemption, and Lin An must have known about the death of little Beelzebub, coupled with Fritz's relationship and the strength of the two major families of Yort and Adelaide. Lin An presumably wouldn't tear his face with them, so he made a round. to break the atmosphere of confrontation between André and Baron Adelaide.

"Master Lin, you're fine! Today's incident is actually a misunderstanding, Tiffany lost her son and her relationship is unstable, we failed to take care of her and the master's token, we really have an unshirkable responsibility! ”

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, his face was sad, as if he was very sad for Beelzebub's death, "Little Beelzebub has not been able to find even a single bone, his death is a great blow to Tiffany and Fritz, it is really sad, I still can't accept that my little nephew is leaving like this!"

He was not yet fourteen years old, and the murder of that murderer was simply outrageous! Little Beelzebub would have met such a hateful murderer for no reason! ”

Viscount Yot seems to be emotional, but in fact, there are only two parts of the real sadness in the feelings, Lin An heard the situation when Beelzebub died for the first time, his eyes flashed slightly, and just wanted to say something, Master Kodiak on the side was already surprised:

"Why is it involved in the death of Beelzebub? Little girl, what does that Beelzebub's death have to do with you? They sent tokens back and died to get revenge on you? It turns out that Tiffany is a dead son, no wonder she hates you so much that she wants to drain your soul and refine it into a puppet! ”

Hearing a few words, everyone's faces changed.

Angelia couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't take care of her identity and couldn't insert herself into such a conversation, and explained angrily:

"Master, Young Master Yot's death has nothing to do with our young lady at all! That Lady Tiffany planted the death of Young Master Yot on the young lady, and there was no reason to anger and jealousy, and from her request to steal the Master's token exchange, it was clear that this woman had already gone mad! ”

Baron Adelaide's face sank, no matter how crazy Tiffany was, it would not be the turn of a lowly maid to expose the ugliness of the Adelaide family, he glanced at Angelia coldly, and saw that she was not to be outdone, so he looked at Lin An, and admonished with a smile:

"The conversation of the noble should not be interpenetrated by the lowly person, Master Lin, please restrain your maid!"

"Angelia is my follower, and she is fully qualified to speak on my behalf," Lin An's expression was light, and her tone was not downcast, "And there is nothing untrue about what she said, and I can't find a reason to let her be cautious." ”

The Andre siblings didn't interject at all, not because they didn't have enough words, but because Tiffany's request with a token had broken their bottom line.

And although Viscount Yort and Baron Adelaide came to ask for the token, there seemed to be no regret in the tone of their words, and even Viscount Yort kept saying vague and focused to mislead public opinion, and every sentence was clearly addressed to Master Kodiak on the side. If Master Kodiak hadn't happened to be their acquaintance with the elders, it would have been hard to imagine what would happen to Lin An today!

The other party has already shown obvious hostility and has made a move to put Lin An to death, not to mention that Baron Adelaide and Viscount Yot did not apologize, even if they apologized in a low voice as soon as they saw Lin An, it was impossible for them to let this matter go easily!

So there is no need to argue and talk nonsense, the rules they learned in the division and the ice field are whoever has the big fist is the one who has the right to speak!

Viscount Yort was secretly complaining:

In fact, he really didn't mean to stand on the opposite side of Lin An, this Master Lin was born in a hidden lineage and had a close relationship with Grand Duke Lanster. There are also a crowd of people such as the recipients behind her, and judging from the way Master Kodiak calls her, her background in this area is also very hard. Although the Yot family is not unable to provoke her, they are also unwilling to set up a strong enemy for this.

This Master Lin is a topic of conversation in the imperial capital recently, and the cause of Beelzebub's death may be spread in the near future, and the Yot family and the Adelaide family, who were originally victims, should be biased by public opinion. But after the Tiffany incident, Master Lin suddenly became a bitter master:

Because Master Lin was a passive person from beginning to end, she hadn't even seen Fritz a few times in the imperial capital in the past few days, and she also abided by etiquette when getting along with Fritz, and did not have any positive response to this married man, but she was just bound by etiquette and could not refuse the pursuit of men. After all, although the pursuit of a married man is not a particularly good reputation, it is relative to those small nobles in the countryside.

The rise to the status of the aristocracy of Fritz is a complete affair. Who in the upper class didn't live like this? Master Eliin's elegance is peerless, and how she is sought after by the opposite sex is taken for granted by others, and it is not excessive.

Could it be that just because of her peerless beauty and admiration by men, she deserved to be planted on her head by the death of little Beelzebub? And was murdered by Tiffany's anger, and he had to extract his soul to refine into a puppet?

They had already heard Andrey's words just now. Viscount Yot originally thought it was Andrei's exaggeration, but after hearing Master Kodiak's words, he realized that it was true, and it was Tiffany's request.

What Tiffany asked the master to do, even a man like them shuddered, it was no longer just murder, if the master really did it, then Lin An's fate would definitely be to survive and not die!

With Lin An's hesitant reputation being admired and chased by men since he entered the imperial capital, as soon as the news of what Tiffany did came out, she would immediately be spit on by Master Lin's admirers, and all men who wanted to be courteous in front of Lin An would be filled with righteous indignation!

Moreover, behind Master Lin, it is not only the public opinion of those men who admire her, judging from the attitude of this Master Andre, they do not look like they are going to give up.

However, what is Andre's attitude, after all, it is not Lin An, Viscount Yort wants to calm things down, and the only people who can play a decisive role in the scene are Master Kodiak and Master Lin himself.

At present, Master Kodiak's attitude was obviously biased towards Master Lin, even if he had just said those vague words, he was only surprised for a moment, and his tone sounded ordinary, but it was obviously intimate and familiar, and Viscount Yot knew that the situation was not good:

Rao is the Adelaide family has the favor owed by Master Kodiak, but it is impossible to force an archmage to kill someone he does not want to kill, and it is no longer a question of whether the Adelaide family is forced or not, but whether the master will break off the friendship in anger, because the Adelaide family is really full of mistakes in today's matter, not only sent a lowly maid to ask the master for a promise, but now he is also delusional in getting back the token, with the character of the master he has seen so far, he may be annoyed and angry.

If the token can't be recovered, the responsibility of the Yot family in this matter cannot be shirked, but from Viscount Yot's own point of view, there may not be no complaints about Lady Tiffany and the Adelaide family, after all, it is the blood of his own family that died.

In short, this matter has been completely entangled into a mess, but in the current situation, Lin An's attitude in this matter has become important.

Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of calming things down, or even to retrieve Master Kodiak's token, it is necessary to get Master Lin to agree, preferably to arouse her sympathy and guilt:

Originally, according to the testimony of the guards, little Beelzebub left the opera house for the sake of Master Lin, and was later killed. And because of Master Lin's recent fame, the little incident between Fritz and her has also been rumored. The reason why little Beelzebub suddenly ran out to meet a woman he had never seen before is self-evident.

Therefore, although Master Lin did not do anything, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the death of little Beelzebub.

In Viscount Yot's opinion, Lin An lost her ability to cast spells, and she was no longer the genius mage with extraordinary potential, and with the support she received in the imperial capital, she was obviously in a state of waiting to be sold.

Although with someone like Archduke Rinster in front of him, it was unlikely that Fritz would impress this Master Lin, but with Fritz's status, it was impossible for Master Lin to have no feelings for him. As long as Master Lynn had a slight affection for Fritz, she would feel some guilt.

What's more, even if Master Lin was really cold-hearted, she didn't suffer any damage in this matter after all. Even for the sake of fame and leaving an impression of kindness and generosity to the outside public opinion, it should not grasp this matter and not let it go.

Baron Adelaide and Viscount Yot also cooperate tacitly, Viscount Yort comes soft, he comes hard. With the foundation of the two families of Yot and Adelaide, even if Master Lin is angry, I am afraid he will have to think about it more.

But apparently the two of them had failed in their plans, and what made their plans fall short was not Lin An and Andre's unexpectedly strong intentions, but Madame Tiffany's crazy and poisonous demands-

The content demanded by Lady Tiffany has broken everyone's bottom line, even if Viscount Yort and Lin An are replaced. It is also impossible to raise your hand lightly.

Master Lin seems to be young, just a weak woman, but she doesn't seem to be as easy to pressure as she thinks. The scheming in her heart was clear, and Lady Tiffany's actions had touched her bottom line.

And compared to the anger of the people around her, naked and hostile, Master Lin's dislike and anger attitude is what nobles like Viscount Yort are most afraid of:

The two best people in the world to hold grudges. One is a mage and the other is a woman.

Unfortunately. Master Lynn has both.

The atmosphere full of gunpowder was stagnant, and Baron Adelaide was blocked back by Lin An lightly, and sighed bitterly in his heart that this woman was not easy to deal with, and Yu Guang and Viscount Yot were a couple, feeling that today's matter would be difficult to end, and their mission might not be finished well When John suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the road.

At the same time, James also raised his head and said to Lin An: "Fritz is here." ”

It turned out that he had been silent, and he was secretly contacting Fritz, who was the main master, and whether he wanted to calm things down or impress Lin An, he was much more useful than a hundred Viscounts of Yort and Baron Adelaide.

Lin An's expression moved slightly, but Master Kodiak seemed to feel something, and sighed, "Oh, Van Gogh, you old fellow, you have nothing to do to meddle in my affairs!" ”

"If I don't show up again, the face of the Secret Law Group will be lost by you!"

With a low and old voice, a pair of feet appeared in the open space three feet away from Lin An and the others, followed by a black robe, a magic staff, and a head...... The whole person's body appeared from the bottom up, and a black-robed archmage with a white beard and solemn and steady appeared in everyone's sight, and the magic aura that lingered around him was like a flowing galaxy, revolving around him.

The aura of this Van Gogh master is obviously the complete opposite of the out-of-tune master Kodiak, the nasolabial folds at the corners of his mouth are solemn, making him appear as soon as he brings a spiritual coercion, from the dialogue between him and Master Kodiak, this is the Van Gogh master who stayed in another magic tower, and what appears here is his phantom projection.

Master Van Gogh appeared one step earlier, and as he appeared, Franz also appeared at the end of the road leading to the Magic Tower.

He drew closer and closer, his neat clothes contrasting with the obvious exhaustion on his face, the indentations of the Sichuan character deep into his brows, and his eyes were bloodshot, with an indescribable haggardness, which reminded one of the pains and blows he had suffered in the past two days.

Lin An, who had been cold and calm since his appearance, finally moved slightly, and some complexity flashed in his clear eyes.

The fluctuation of her expression was seen by Leonardo, who had been watching coldly, and touched James lightly, giving him a look: Or do you have a way!

He was also strange before. Where did Fritz, who obviously went first, go to invite Master Van Gogh.

Seeing that Master Van Gogh suppressed Master Kodiak as soon as he appeared, except for people who are familiar with the secret law group, who can know everything about the personalities and ways of getting along with the two archmages?

Needless to say, this solution must have been reminded by James at some point.

After all, he had to care about the face of the secret law group, and Master Van Gogh only reprimanded Master Kodiak in public when he appeared, and then the conversation between the two masters was to communicate with each other through teleportation.

The corners of their mouths moved slightly. Knowing that they were talking, but not knowing the content of the conversation, they saw that Master Van Gogh's expression remained motionless, and Master Kodiak's expression changed back and forth, one moment happy and one moment angry, which made them nervous.

"Fritz, you're here!"

However, what was the atmosphere in front of him, everyone was more sympathetic to the poor man Fritz, and greeted him one after another, and Baron Adelaide thought of his sister who did not know what would happen. Franz's expression is also complicated - from the perspective of an upper-class man, Fritz's actions are not out of line, but everything is due to him. Adelaide has a mustard because of his sister and a token, and a guilt because of little Beelzebub.

Fritz nodded to them and came to Lin An's side.

He seemed to have become numb to the gaze of others, ignoring Andre's disgusted gaze, and the faint displeasure of Johann and Angelia. Coming to Lin An, he glanced at this woman who was still as fascinated at first sight as he first saw it, and slowly bowed deeply:

"I'm sorry."

His actions had already attracted the attention of Viscount Yort and others, and James and the others also looked over here, looking at Fritz, who was deeply apologetic, and Lin An, who was standing in front of him. Viscount Yot's face moved slightly, and he didn't do anything in the end.

Lin An was silent for a moment before the soft female voice slowly sounded. "I can forgive you, but I can't forgive her."

Baron Adelaide's face changed slightly, and anger flashed in his eyes, but he was stopped by Viscount Yort, but Fritz was calm. Slowly straightened up, with lingering bitterness at the corners of his mouth. "Her fault is also my fault."

Andre had been suppressed by Shiryl's gaze, and finally couldn't hold it back, and sneered: "But you waited until you made a mistake to come, it's too late!" ”

Fritz seemed to turn a deaf ear to Andrei's sarcasm, and only said to Lin An:

"I will ask your forgiveness at any price, and please take revenge on me for all your grievances," he paused, "and as for Tiffany, she is my wife, the mother of my daughter, and I will discipline her. ”

Baron Adelaide's face softened a little, at least Fritz still had the responsibility, and did not push Tiffany out, but chose to bear it, then at least it shows that there is no crisis of marriage breakdown or even evil between the two families.

Even Viscount Yot nodded slightly.

Fritz is the cause of this incident, he finally took on the responsibility that belongs to the man, although Viscount Yot was slightly unhappy, but he knew that such an attitude was the way to solve the problem, after all, the Adelaide family lost a lot, and the master's token was likely not to come back, and the relationship between the two families could not be further deteriorated.

Now just look at Lin An's answer, including James Rodier, everyone is focused on Lin An.

Under everyone's gaze, Lin An smiled lightly, without any emotion in his eyes:

"It's not up to me to decide, my life is now in the hands of the master, if the master breaks his promise for me, it will be difficult for me to repay the master's kindness, if the master doesn't break his promise, then there is no need to discuss the issue of forgiveness or non-forgiveness, right?"

The cold mockery, in the final analysis, is still something that can't forgive Tiffany, but those who have heard Lin An's words have to admit that she has a reason not to forgive:

If today's token didn't belong to Master Kodiak, who had a relationship with them, then Lin An's fate would undoubtedly be decided by the thought of the strong, she was the most innocent person in this matter!

With the mage's grudge Cheng Dù, even if Lin An said forgiveness, most of the people present, especially James, would never believe it.

However, James was slightly relieved for his friend:

Fritz's apology was still useful, and the resentment she was now showing was actually safer than Lin An's previous quiet attitude.

Because James knew that what Lin An said might not appear at all, even if Master Kodiak was not her acquaintance, and had the face of those strong people in the Ice Field, it was impossible for the strong people who stayed in the imperial capital to move her lightly, Lin An could only avoid this crisis by casually throwing a card, so most of her words were just venting her anger.

At this time, the two masters also came to a conclusion.

“…… Yes, choose to reclaim the tokens and fulfill the promise to the Adelaide family, or return the tokens to the Adelaide family, Kodiak is up to you! ”

Master Van Gogh's voice came, and behind the negative hand, it seemed that he was impatient to entangle with Master Kodiak again, and his voice was categorical.

(To be continued)

ps：

Thank you for the big pink ticket in the vast moonlight! Roll, two pink good happies in a row! o(n_n)o~

The relationship between the people in this chapter is a little complicated, James and the others don't know the relationship between Master Kodiak and Andre, they only think that Lin An and others are related to the master, and Andre and others and Viscount Yot and others only know each other, and they don't officially know each other.

Character Cards:

Master Van Gogh, one of the elders of the Esoteric Order, is currently guarding another magic tower in the same place as Master Kodiak, and looks stern and rigid on the outside, and is one of the people who can control Master Kodiak.
