Gucci's expression was calm.

Outsiders know very little about Pentagram's internal affairs, the reason why he will tell Lin An is because of his personality, he doesn't like to use deception to achieve his goals, even if he has vetoed Lin An, Lin An, who was once a candidate, is also qualified to know - this is his fairness.

But they don't pay attention to what outsiders think, and this kind of relationship that seems absurd and inconceivable to outsiders is a necessity and the result of a long time together.

There are five people in Pentagram, but there are more than five people, they are Merlin's backing, supporting and running the huge ruins under the imperial capital.

When the pentagram was formed, Gucci was not aware of the problem, and it was only when Melissa, the most important corner, was missing and it was difficult for the successors to find out, that they realized the biggest weakness of the pentagram, which was difficult to follow.

The reason why the emperor took a fancy to Lin An's candidate was a little urgent, of course, from the perspective of all conditions, Lin An was very suitable, but it was him and Samaranch who could not accept it, otherwise if three of the four agreed, even if Lin An was reluctant, they would be able to cause the established facts.

But just because he can be calm does not mean that others can be calm.

As soon as Gucci's words fell, he almost immediately felt a murderous intent accompanied by a black light.

He didn't make any movement, a cufflink under his neck was slightly cool, and a mirror-like arc crystal shield appeared in front of him, which was just in front of Hei Mang.

At the same time, Lin An also came back to his senses, and called Titi, Titi snorted, and the black sword seemed to have only flashed a black light, but it had already made five moves in a row, knocking the crystal shield out of the dense cracks and returning to the sheath.

In the next second, the crystal shield shattered with a snap, and a little bit of light melted into the air.

Gucci's eyes flashed slightly, and his gaze crossed with solemnity and warlike intent.

“…… The idea of replacing Melissa was proposed by His Majesty. So does Majesty mean that Miss Jean ...... "John's came back to his senses at this time, and he realized something.

Lin An's face was also faintly blue at this time. Behind the emperor's calculations there were still these inside information, and her face could not be hidden for a while.

From the first visit of the Emperor and Victor. They must have some compelling reason to find Melissa's replacement.

It is about the strongest under the legend, the four half-step legends are like Merlin's standing nuclear weapons, and under this importance, the important Cheng Dù of her identity as a legendary disciple will also be weakened, so she also thought of the possibility of being forced for the first time.

Even the legendary powerhouses. will also be bound by an oath, who says that Merlin does not have the things that bind the * division and the half-step legend? Lin An never underestimated the thousand-year-old heritage of the Merlin royal family.

Fortunately for now, both Samaranch and Gucci were adamant and rejected her as a candidate.

However, a veto now does not mean a veto in the future. Lin An will not always pin her hopes on their attitude, after all, as she thought before, Merlin is currently not a suitable candidate, and it can be said that she is the most prominent one.

But if there is one less person in the remaining four stars......

It was because of the murderous intent that appeared in her heart that Titi sensed it. did it as soon as possible, but Lin An knew that now was never the time to turn his face with Gucci, and it was impossible for them to keep Gucci, so he immediately stopped Titi.

Gucci has realized that Lin An's killing intentions are in. "There are great benefits to becoming a pentagram, and it is so big that few * teachers will refuse."

"It is conceivable that there is only a thin line between all five of them and the legend, and His Majesty probably thinks it's a win-win situation."

Lin An's expression was a sneer opposite to the words, she knew that Gucci was explaining to the emperor that the emperor and Merlin had no malicious intentions, but unfortunately this was not judged by them, "But even if the benefits are so great that few people refuse, it doesn't mean that no one will refuse......

"The candidate needs the consent of the three people, I can make a demon oath, and I will not agree to you joining." Gucci interrupted Lin An's words and immediately fulfilled them.

The oath is an oath made with its own magical powers, and it can be said that it is one of the strictest oaths for a mage, and as Gucci utters the oath, the magic on his body also turbulents, following the ups and downs of his voice.

Lin An was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Gucci to be able to do this, and with the end of Gucci's oath, his face eased a lot:

Gucci's vows, coupled with Samaranch's affair with her, have made it a long way to ensure that she will not be a candidate for Melissa again.

It's just that Gucci doesn't actually have to do this, Lin An was a little strange, and then thought of his character and found a reason.

……

At the same time, in a noble mansion in the inner city, several ministers of the main war faction gathered in the study for a secret meeting.

Everyone sat around a round table, with only three of the twelve chairs vacant, and the atmosphere of the secret meeting was solemn.

In the midst of the mist, several noble lords who were usually in high positions and powers frowned deeply, their faces were cloudy, and a huge plan of the palace building was spread out on the table between them.

“…… Excellency Robin, are we really going to do this? A middle-aged man sitting on his left hand was silent for a long time and said.

"We can't help it. Judging by His Highness Jupiter's attitude towards them, he has confirmed that we have passed off as bandits as private soldiers, and that His Highness Jupiter has been bewitched by those hateful Merlins, and we have no chance of approaching and explaining at all - if death can make up for our mistakes, I am willing to pay such a price without hesitation, but I am afraid that even if we die, it will not be able to eliminate His Highness Jupiter's hatred for us, then the family behind us ......"

The words of a middle-aged nobleman with pale temples moved everyone present slightly.

"Your Excellency Robin is right, besides, our approach is also beneficial to Perret."

An old man put down his tortoiseshell pipe, let out a long and sudden puff of smoke, and continued, "Before this, His Royal Highness Jupiter had never shown the ability and prestige comparable to that of His Royal Highness Aubrey, and compared with the two older and calm princes, it was far inferior. ”

"Master Bryant has a point."

"Prince Liv has always supported the position of our main battle faction, and if the elder prince, when the remaining royal grandchildren are not old enough to bear the current political situation in Perret, we can unite with the noble senate and support Prince Liv to succeed to the throne...... Didn't the prince already hint at us a few days ago? ”

"Or maybe the regent, I think it's more in the interests of appearance......"

Others have long been shaken and gradually chimed into discussion.

The overall situation gradually settled, and the two nobles known as Lord Kobe and His Excellency Robin secretly glanced at each other and smiled slightly.

After the secret discussion, the nobles put on makeup again to disguise their identities and secretly returned to the mansion.

The nobleman with pale temples returned to the mansion and quickly wrote a letter in the study:

"To the Honourable Bishop ...... Ibbert"

After a quick finish, the ink on it was dried dry, and the middle-aged nobleman touched under the desk, and a shallow dark box on the desk opened, and the piccolo the length of a finger was placed horizontally inside.

When he came to the bed window, he played the flute, and a letter eagle with red claws and black feathers fell on the windowsill, and the middle-aged nobleman tied the letter tube to it, and the letter eagle spread its wings and flew silently.

The letter eagle came to a half-old steeple church in the civilian area.

The Red Lord, who was preaching to the faithful, saw the letter eagle flying into the back of the church, and waited until he had finished reading the last verse of the commandments and finished explaining to the believers before saying goodbye to each other and slowly walking back to the lounge behind the church.

After untying the letter and reading it for a moment, the letter eagle with the letter flew out of the church again, flew west out of Dandong, and flew towards the border of Perre's western front.

……

Three days later.

“…… The Iron Fist Gang in the South Market was also hired by unknown people, but the specific content of the employment is not clear, only that they secretly bought a lot of fire oil and quicklime from the black market? ”

In the box of the Medusa Tavern, Lin An was still the young mercenary when he met the beautiful woman that night, looking at a pile of thick information, and from time to time put one or two suspicious pieces of information on the left hand.

At this time, she was weighing it with a piece of information, and then called Medusa.

The beautiful woman swayed her waist and entered, and as soon as she closed the door, she put away her habitual smile at the guests and restored her serious and solemn attitude.

"Sit."

"Yes, sir."

After receiving Lin An's signal, Medusa sat down opposite Lin An upright.

This is a hint left in Medusa's heart after Lin An and Medusa met for the first time, which made her subconsciously be in awe of Lin An, work seriously, and dare not disobey the yin.

Seeing that Lin An valued this information, Medusa hurriedly said: "Yes, in addition, there are two gangsters in the East Bazaar and the slums, who seem to have received similar orders from above, and they don't dare to buy in large quantities, compared to the consumption of the mercenary association, they are inconspicuous." ”

But when the clouds of war are thick and everyone needs to win over the mercenary association, the mercenary association, which has been standing in Pere for nearly a thousand years, will not be stupid enough to take the initiative and drag itself into the black water of political struggle.

This is just a matter of seeing that there is no movement at all from those large mercenary groups, after all, no matter how large the mercenary association is, it is also a loose organization composed of people.

"One or two gangsters are inconspicuous, and if they have five or six, seven or eight, they can do something - especially since they don't have any backstage behind them, but they have a lot of money to buy something they don't need for no reason."

"But there are only one or two thousand of them, and they are all lazy and lazy hooligans, what can they do?" Medusa was stunned, not to mention the city guards, just the mercenary association's temporary mobilization of some mercenaries to assist in defense was enough to suppress these unorganized gangster thugs.

"Yes...... However, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and there are also usage methods that are not strong in combat. Lin An groaned slowly, as if he had thought of something.
