Chapter 337: The Clue and Jacob's Cup

Sidney basically watched the summoning from beginning to end, although the later situation was not clear due to the destruction of the elemental turbulence, but Lin An later explained to him the reason for the accident:

Her original Thiago thorn suddenly entered the summoning array, affecting the effect of the formation, and thus devouring her. 「」

Of course, Lin An didn't say anything about the indistinct human form that appeared later in the summoning array, but she couldn't summon the original demon pet, which is now a fact, so it is not difficult for Sidney to guess the original intention of "originally planned to go" in Lin An's mouth.

Sidney was noncommittal about whether the Thiago thorn was so important to Lin An.

With Lin An's current strength, except for some auxiliary effects of Thiago Demon Thorn, the original role of personal protection has disappeared, otherwise Lin An would not have put it outside at will and let it find "food" on its own.

Of course, Thiago Demon Thorn is a divine plant after all, and its growth and plasticity are still very strong, and in terms of Lin An's possible long life in the future, it is not surprising to cultivate this kind of long-growing but extremely potential demon pet.

And because of the nature of Thiago's thorn that sucks the power of the soul to grow, Sidney is also very interested in it:

On the one hand, this involves one of the two areas in which necromancers are best at it, and on the other hand, there is also a great deal of interest in the property of Thiago Thorn that absorbs the power of the soul and converts it into the power of nature, energy conversion, which is a research subject that will never lag behind for mages, and no one will give up the possibility of studying it in depth. 「」

"Well, I'll go too."

From Lin An's tone, as far as she had already made a decision, Sidney did not consider the possibility of persuading Lin An, and said it directly.

Lin An thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, to be honest, I'm not worried about the situation here in the back camp, if Salin wasn't there, I would probably let you stay." ”

She didn't say that she would use a method to keep Sidney's important combat power, but Sidney was not exaggerating, she just paused in the conversation, "You trust him so much?" ”

"Oh, trust is always relative,"

Lin An shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent, but Sidney in the communication couldn't see her movements and expression, "I don't trust him enough, but that doesn't prevent me from being a good collaborator who can see the situation clearly." ”

Sidney's indifferent voice came from the ring, which was already a very high rating. ”

"Have you made up your mind?"

Master Laurie sat behind his desk, his hands on the pyramid, and his dark gray eyes, which looked a little cold, looked at Lin An from the top of the pyramid. In front of him was a letter of appointment pending signature and seal at the cashier's office, and the box containing the bright red seal and the gold-stamped clay had been opened and placed on one side of the desk.

Lin An looked at this man with unilateral glasses, and even the buttons of his robe were used to being buttoned close to the top of the Adam's apple, it is said that this kind of man is strict and hides control in his bones, and he is used to keeping a certain distance from everyone, and his habit of wearing glasses shows that he subconsciously wants to hide the truth, and likes to observe others from the perspective of a bystander.

Lin An has been the lobby manager of a five-star hotel, and has the memories of being a princess and a daughter of darkness, coupled with a keen mental ability to perceive other people's feelings, and self-confidence is rarely good at seeing people, at least from some of the things she knows so far, Master Laurie is still quite in line with most of her judgments.

Therefore, she reacted in line with his expectations, frowned faintly, sat down in her chair and bowed slightly, and said in a modest but still proud tone:

"Yes, this is a joint decision between me and Master Elvis, and I am a little presumptuous, I hope it won't cause you trouble-"

She paused, then continued, "We would appreciate it if you could grant me what I wanted. She accented the second half of the sentence.

"No, please don't say that, it's a happy outcome, and I'm more than happy to do it." 」”

Master Laurie gave a slightly cold smile, no bargaining, dipped his quill in the indigo ink, signed his name on the letter of appointment, and then picked up the seal in the clay box and stamped it steadily.

A bright red and very square seal appears on the paper.

Master Laurie stood up and handed the paperwork across the desk, and when Lin An reached out to take it, Gen Laurie did not let go immediately.

"Although it is not your purpose, thank you for the reminder you gave to me and the mage group before,"

The reflective single lens couldn't see his gaze clearly, but Lin An could feel the other party's sharp gaze staring from behind the lens, and then heard him say softly:

"Also, good luck to both of you, and good luck with the war!"

Lin An was stunned, but he didn't expect that Master Laurie had guessed that what Master Oscar overheard was deliberately said by her, and in this way to repay the favor.

But before she could think about it, the strength in her hand was loosened, and the paperwork was already in her hand.

"Looks like you really don't want to deal with Zaixia."

Lin An smiled, since Master Laurie is insider, then in his eyes, she will not be just a chess piece with a background, but a person who is qualified to be a chess player like him, so of course he will not deliberately alienate her because of Master Oscar's negotiation reply, so the reason why he rejected her is nothing more than her so-called background or her gender. 「」

With Lin An's knowledge of Merlin's men and his observations of Master Laurie, or both-

Merlin men were taught to protect women, but there was no real respect for human beings;

As for the Hidden Inheritance, it has always been an outlier in the world, even within the mage community, and with Master Laurie's current status and the background of his teacher who is still in the Imperial Capital, Lin An wondered if he had heard some news about the Hidden Inheritance, and that he and his teacher might be on Merlin's upper side.

Master Laurie was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Lin An's senses to be so keen. But he smiled faintly, and did not explain Lin An's statement, and acquiesced.

However, Lin An, who walked to the door, held the doorknob with his hand, but paused and turned around.

“…… However, Your Excellency may have thought too much, and I took a flying boat to the front line. ”

With that, she ignored Master Laurie's surprised expression, smiled slightly, and walked out.

From the beginning of coming to Houying, Lin An did not intend to hide his identity, and deliberately appeared by Sidney's side in his current appearance, which attracted everyone's attention. 「」

Because the war is going to end sooner or later, she doesn't want to be in a state of observation and surveillance all day long after returning to the normal human world, and the previous disappearance can be explained by herself, but after solving Samuel and the legend of the mutiny, she continues to disappear, so she is destined to become an important member of the intelligence department's surveillance list in the future, Lin An doesn't want to be glued by people who don't know the purpose wherever she goes.

As for what he said to Laurie before leaving, it was to muddy the waters.

At least for her and Saleen, a leader of the Mage Order who leaned too much toward Merlin's upper echelons was not in her and Salin's plans and interests, nor was it in the interests of most mages.

Pulling the banner of those strong men can at least make Master Laurie uncertain about the relationship between the strong and the hidden inheritance, and he will have some scruples, otherwise even if Salin has the identity of Komert, the pressure to stay alone in the rear will be a little too great.

But as soon as he walked back to the igloo, Lin An's calm face sank slightly.

Latin has been released by her, and the current situation Lin An has not called anyone to guard and listen to orders, so after she entered the house, she did not close the magic circle in the house, and opened the one-way soundproof barrier again.

took out the silver basin and put a water balloon into it, Lin An entered the magic power and contacted Salin again.

Soon, Chris's face reappeared on the surface of the water.

"Contact me so quickly, are you reluctant to let me go?" Salin chuckled and said humorously, seeing Lin An's solemn face, he asked, "Except for the matter?" ”

Lin An told the previous thing.

Salin seemed to think of it, and even left the basin for a while, Lin An heard a rummaging sound from the silver basin, and soon Salin was gone, and he didn't have it in his hand, but his face was slightly cheerful.

"Do you think he might have something to do with our Highness?" He asked, a few strands of blonde hair hanging down his forehead, looking a little uninhibited.

"Otherwise, what about explaining the reason why the mage group didn't notice the formation of the four-leaf flower and the attitude of the rear at all?"

Lin An asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid that someone in the upper echelons of the mage group has accused the circulation of news - about this, I was only skeptical at first, but now I am basically sure that Laurie's attitude is exposed. ”

"I found information, Rice Master is indeed a pro-royal faction, and it is one of the important targets that Jacob may attract that I collected before, after all, Jacob has the identity of a mage and is born with affinity,"

Salin nodded, "But it's not so easy to win over a division, I didn't expect Jacob to start planning so early, according to this, the Chinese army and the mage regiment on the Eastern Front may also have their people." ”

"Relatively speaking, the Western Front should be his main place of operation, and you can use that identity to check this," Lin An smiled and reminded, "The tough attitude of negotiating with the army before, and Laurie was also one of the people who contributed to it." ”

"In other words, behind our Royal Highness the Prince is standing a person from the political side?"

"It's understandable,"

Lin An said calmly, "Although during the war, the military faction swelled in strength, but the military faction is tough and rigid, and it is not so easy to break in, after all, he is a mage, not a soldier - as far as I know, the military faction seems to have a candidate for support,"

Salin added with a smile, "And his unique atavistic appearance also inherently determines that he is more easily accepted by the people in the government." ”

Lin An couldn't help but smile, "Our Highness, it's really pitiful!" ”

The third emperor of Merlin, who resembles Jacob's appearance, has only reigned for more than ten years, and his physical condition is not good, although he is known for his totalitarianism and ruthless iron blood, but the reputation of the "butcher knife emperor" and the "decapitated emperor" is based on the premise that he slaughtered the descendants of the meritorious men left behind by his predecessors.

Merlin founded the country on a military basis, and those who did not have military merits could not divide the territory. One can imagine how great the military exploits established by the predecessors of the two grand dukes who were slaughtered and abolished by the "Butcher Knife Emperor", and the atavistic appearance of the current military faction is the impression of Jacob's atavistic appearance - after all, there is a lesson from the past, and it is possible to support a candidate for the throne who looks so similar.

It may seem ridiculous to look at the appearance, but in the upper nobility and political circles, it is also a way of blood inheritance, which is generally recognized.
