Chapter 389: The Wind and the Waves Calm Down
Chapter 389: The Wind and the Waves Are Calm
The news that Lin An had been recuperating behind closed doors for a month reached Rheinthal's ears, and after hearing the news, as people's imagination had distorted and exaggerated a lot of reasons, Rheinthal couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
James laughed:
"Sure enough, no matter what status a woman is, no matter how rational and gentle her style is, she is so difficult!"
In the end, for various reasons, he has decided to fulfill Rheinthal's bet, but although he is not angry with his friend who "forced" him back to the imperial capital with a gambling contract, he will not hide his schadenfreude at all when the other party is in trouble.
Reinthal glanced at his friend, ignored his downfall, and asked his subordinate who had reported the incident with a blank face:
"Are you sure that the rumor that you need to cultivate because of the sequelae first came from Master Lin?"
He ignored all kinds of rumors and rumors reported by his subordinates that exaggerated Lin An's cultivation troubles, and he didn't worry that the families hiding under these rumors would start to act again, and only focused on asking questions.
"Yes, my lord, this is what Master Lin's attendant said when he refused to entertain." The subordinate said with great certainty.
As the eyes and ears of the Overseers, and some kind of Cheng dΓΉ is also the eyes and ears of the Overseers, if nothing that can be verified can be confirmed, then they don't expect to work under the Overseer, go home and eat themselves.
"Alright, I see, you go down." Rheinthal's always calm face was slightly subtle, and he casually asked his subordinates to leave.
The subordinates bowed respectfully and departed, deaf to James's gloating words, and completely oblivious to the strangeness of James's wordsβoutside, they were the sharpest eyes and ears, and the army's breezes could not escape their eyes and ears, while in the Overseer's office, they were deaf and blind, and whatever they heard and saw was forgotten when they left the Overseer's office.
This is the basic skill necessary for every qualified ear, eye and mouthpiece.
Rheinthal watched his subordinate leave, the office door closed before his eyes, and he raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand and pressed the temples:
"This Master Lin seems to be gentle and measured, but after all, he has a temper."
On the surface, he took the initiative to leave the ice field to calm the situation, which was regarded as a personal favor for him, and also made him promise to finish up and solve those fleas, and once he turned around, he came back again, and used a deliberate sound to provoke the temporary calm suppressed by her great power after she left the customs yesterday.
In the end, she Shi Shiran closed the door and threw the trouble to him.
However, according to the promise he gave during the negotiation, solving these troubles is also one of his promises, which is the price of Lin An's willingness to take the initiative to calm down the incident and not expand the scope of the attack.
Otherwise, with the ability of Lin An, who is now fledgling, if he really wants to go to the trouble of those hostile people with his power after leaving the customs, and he is hindered by Master Mourinho's summons, the two sides will meet, I am afraid that the development of the matter may really be difficult to control, at least it will also cause Rheinthal to suffer a reprimand from the rear imperial capital.
Looking at the rise of those strong people, it is common to let go and kill people when the situation is weak.
The strong believe in strength, have a strong will, and there is even no shortage of cultivators who have the path of killing, but they are not necessarily afraid of those deep-rooted wealthy families, and it is not impossible to "force" to kill to stop killing or even let go of killing to cultivate.
Lin An's talent has never been seen before, and the current location and shape will never allow things like her predecessors' abilities, if there is really a big turmoil, Rheinthal, the overseer, will be able to do it, and it is only right to go back to the imperial capital to hug His Majesty's thigh and ask for atonement.
When Lin An first came out of the customs, the hot hand shown by the hook-nosed mage, as well as the light wind that destroyed the future of a mage's will, had already let Rheinthal know that this female mage was not a little sheep that was easy to bully-
Fortunately, the matter has not yet reached the point where it is really impossible to deal with it, and the special location and situation of the battlefield probably made Lin An have some scruples, so he didn't have to make a big fuss, only gave a warning, and offered to stop.
"Originally, I thought she was a female mage after all, she was young, and her 'sexual' personality was on the gentle side," Reinthal covered her forehead, her gray-blue eyes hidden by drooping eyelids, "but now it seems that she is not attacking 'sex', but she hides it well." β
It's just that once the blade of this knife is 'exposed', it can cut people's pain.
"Age and 'sex' are not reasons to look down on a mage. We are representatives of erudition, and wisdom can bridge the gap between experience and experience in a certain way! β
Regarding the trouble Lin An caused to his friend, James had a happy attitude,
"Ha, no wonder when she left yesterday, she resolutely refused your move to go out to see off guests, it turned out to be to create a false impression in front of those people and pave the way for this news!"
In fact, yesterday the two sent Lin An to the door, which is already quite important, but they also ignored a key, that is, Lin An is a female "sex", and a very beautiful female "sex".
In fact, at yesterday's private banquet, Lin An was invited as a mage, and in the concept of mages, men and women are equal, and the treatment of female mages in general is no different from that of male mages.
Unfortunately, the outside world did not know that Lin An was invited as a mage, or that Rheinthal's status, and Lin An's apparent weakness made people mistakenly think that they were not enough to be talked to by Rheinthal as an equal object - and the weak have always been easy to equate with women.
Coincidentally, Lin Anzheng is a woman, and she is a woman with good looks and unique style, which makes her "sexuality" attract attention, and accidentally overshadows her own identity.
Lin An cleverly used people's habitual "sexual" thinking, and in the rumors that came out, he also intentionally or unintentionally blurred the identity issue and created a false image.
After laughing for a while, seeing that his friend didn't react, James stretched out a little excitedly:
"The background of those second-rate families is uneven, and they don't know the destructive power that a genius and strong person can cause, and when this rumor is released, I'm afraid that there will soon be fleas who are not willing to be lonely-
Hey, what are you going to do? β
Fame wants to cover your eyes.
With the bait as big as the "Hero Plan" in front, it is difficult for those families who are eager to add fame and rise to the level of a first-class wealthy family to refuse such a temptation, especially when the target of the attack seems to be weak and the threat is not great.
"Purple Rose" is regarded as a thorn in the side of so many people, and it is not for nothing that it is attacked by concentrated fire:
They are not supported by the family army like other competitors, but they are too bright, and they are out of place in the ranks of the contenders of the "Hero Project".
People have an instinctive exclusivity mentality, a competitor who has obtained merit in a different way, compared with other competitors who have obtained merit in a similar way, people will always instinctively exclude the special one to avoid accidents.
But the problem is that the object they hope to exclude, not to mention the thought-provoking attitude of Mourinho's ** division, is also a thorny hedgehog, not as weak and easy to bully as those people think.
"What's there to think about, the Overseer's Office has made it clear about this,"
Reinthal looked at the paperwork on the bookcase with a blank face, picked up the top one and lowered his head to review, "If anyone is still uninteresting, you can't blame me for not warning in advance." β
Whether Lin An forcibly opened up the magic pool, and whether there were any sequelae after the retreat, Reinthal and James naturally knew, of course they knew that she released such a message, but it was actually intentional.
Her underlying intentions are actually quite clear:
For those who stop in time, for the sake of your face, I can not pursue it, but for those who repeatedly can't see the direction of the wind and have no eyes, I can't tolerate the other party repeatedly ready to move and run to touch my bottom line.
This reasoning is also reasonable.
She is willing to cooperate to calm down the situation, it does not mean that it is easy to bully, otherwise once she is not suppressed, she will run out one by two and step on her face, no matter how good her temper is, she can't help but kill people, not to mention that what those people want to cover up the violation is that Lin An and the two of them risked their lives and escaped death again and again.
Now one by one, I think she is a bully, so I unite to suppress people, endure and endure, and if I don't break out again, it will not be good-tempered and sensible, but a quail with a shrunken head!
Lin An's move can be said to be a precautionary measure, saying ugly things ahead, and it can also be said to be testing Rheinthal's sincerity and attitude.
After all, he had already promised her euphemistically in the private banquet, and Lin An was also going to leave the ice field peacefully, but the ice field traveled thousands of miles, and it was not so easy to come back after leaving, even if there was Rheinthal's identity as a guarantee, but Lin An was in contact with him for the first time after all, and it was normal to see the execution of his promise.
But being reasonable doesn't mean it's understandable, especially for someone like Rheinthal, who is often in a high position, and doesn't like things to be out of control.
Lin An came back and forth without warning in advance, and handed over the trouble to Rheinthal to finish after expanding the incident, which made Rheinthal feel like he was being used, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Of course, James could see the implicit displeasure hidden under Rheinthal's silent "color", and once his friend was annoyed, he liked to put away the expression on his face, and use a seemingly serious and focused posture to divert the attention of others and hide his mood.
However, James didn't care, anyway, with Rheinthal's reason, he wouldn't be impulsive and misguided, and Lin An's actions had not exceeded Rheinthal's bottom line.
"Ha, I didn't expect this Master Lin to be silent, not only to let out a sigh, but also to deceive a scheming veteran like you!"
James said the real reason for Rheinthal's displeasure - in Rheinthal's position, of course, all kinds of traps have been seen, but all kinds of storms and waves broke through, but Lin An, a fledgling little girl, fell on the hand, although it didn't hurt, but it was difficult to let go.
Rheinthal finally showed his displeasure and glared at James and said, "You gloated when you saw someone unlucky?" β
- What about your upbringing? What about your etiquette? What about your demeanor?
"Why can't I gloat? - Don't you say it, those guys pushed my mages out and ruined the future of my mages, I can't be angry with that beautiful mage, don't I want to see them unlucky? β
James curled the corners of his mouth, raised an index finger, and shook it gently, "No one can make me lose face, but I don't suffer the slightest consequence - no one!" β
Reinthal heard what he meant, his golden brows furrowed, and his lips straightened, "What do you want to do?" β
"It's nothing, it's just to help the beauty mage confirm the identity of the fleas that jump the highest."
β¦β¦
"What do you say? That Mage Doyev, who was sent to Siris by the people of the Mage's Tower? β
In front of Griffin, old Locke looked back suddenly, a deep fold squeezed out between his eyebrows.
"Yes, sir,"
Griffin was accustomed to old Roxie's attention to information about Lin An, but he still felt a little uncomfortable with Old Roquemu's fierce reaction, but he still didn't ask more, but straightforwardly relayed what he had just learned-
"It was sent by the apprentice of the Mage Tower himself, although it was not during the day, but at night, but it still disturbed some people. And the two apprentices who were in charge of sending it no longer called the mage's original name. β
As for the current name, Griffin didn't say it, and old Roxmu didn't care about the fate of the mage, what he cared about was the attitude that the mage tower "revealed".
Old Roxmu's face was a little dark.
"Who told the two apprentices to do this? Isn't there a single person in the mage group who opposes it? β
He's incredible.
The military mages have always been self-contained, and James's domineering and background make it difficult for outsiders to reach into the mage group, and Cialis tested the Mage Lin, who has just come out of the level, at a considerable cost to move the Mage Doyev - of course, the other party is no longer called Doyev.
After learning the fate of the former Doyev mage, the elder Lokemu guessed that the rest of the matter would not be so simple.
But he didn't expect Lin An's action to be just a flash in the air, and after going to the private banquet of Lord Overseer, he retreated behind closed doors to recuperate, not mentioning what happened before.
Coupled with the reason for her closed-door cultivation, there have always been rumors in the military camp that this Master Lin's strength is just a strong outsider and a middle cadre, and he forcibly promoted the sequelae that cannot be reversed, and the future may stop here, and the hot hand behavior after coming out of the retreat is just a forcible illusion.
And the actions of both the host and guest after the private banquet seem to reflect this fact.
The "Purple Rose" was not treated well by the Overseers, and it was even possible that because of the matter of the Doyev mage, he was angry and rebuked by the domineering mage James at the private banquet, so the illusion of being a strong man in the outside was shattered, and he hid back in fear and retreated behind closed doors.
Such rumors seem to be completely based on the fiction of outsiders, but many people believe that:
After all, compared to the previous rumors, it is even more difficult for people who have a good understanding of the advanced mage to believe that there would be such a young female mage who appeared out of nowhere and could complete the accumulation of the magic power of the main demon pool within one year of advancement beyond people's imagination.
Everywhere in Merlin, what year will there be no ten or eight young geniuses who are said to have never been seen before?
But in the end, most of the time it can only be confirmed that it is nothing more than an exaggeration, or that it has not stood the test of time.
Most people thought that judging from the record of "Purple Rose", Lin An might really be extraordinary, but being forced to forcibly open up the demon pool in just one year after being in a hurry to achieve quick success has already ruined this genius by her arrogance!
Seeing that the adults asked about the reaction of the mage group, Griffin thought for a moment and said:
"Those two apprentices were men under the Doyev master, and they couldn't tell anything from their looks.
However, now that I think about it, the mage group is indeed a little eerily calm. As for the one who instructed the Doyev to send Master Siris......"
Griffin's face was "exposed", apparently he hadn't heard the details in a hurry.
"Get out there and keep inquiring." Old Rokemu waved his hand, and the frowning white eyebrows did not dissipate.
Griffin was very efficient, and soon returned, and said to old Locke:
"My lord, I have inquired! The rumors that came out of the mage group said that it was instructed by Master James himself, and some people within the mage group were dissatisfied, but all the backlash was suppressed! β
And Griffin's ability to get the news from the mage group so quickly was also the result of those mages who were dissatisfied with James's actions.
Lockmund wasn't surprised by this answer, in fact, with James's control over the mage, if this wasn't what he instructed, it would have been a surprise to old Lockmuel.
"It seems that this time, Siris and they really kicked the iron plate!"
Old Roquemu's expression was uncertain, a little frightened, and a little relieved, so complex that Griffin could hardly describe:
"But are the two of 'Purple Rose' really so favored by the Overseers and the James mage, even the James mage, who has always valued face, will not hesitate to lose the face of the mage group and let them be angry?"
You must know that the act of "giving away" to Siris not only greatly ruined the face of the group led by Siris, but also made the mage group lose face, after all, that Mage Doyeve is a member of the mage group after all - this is also most of the reason for the dissatisfaction with James within the mage group.
Old Roxmuel didn't know that James was leaving, otherwise he might not have been surprised by the actions of His Excellency, a mage who had always been free to "sex".
Old Roxmu was just a little glad:
Thankfully, while the rumors spread, he was cautious and waited to see where the Overseers went, rather than joining Siris' insistence on ignoring the Overseers' warnings to calm the situation.
Because of the greater momentum and the closer to the target, Siris and the others were a little anxious and jumped too high.
Now that the wind has reversed, it has been confirmed that the rumors are not true, and that Siris has not only created a formidable enemy with unlimited potential, but has also greatly offended the Overseers because of their different warnings - I am afraid that the "send-off" of the Jamesian mage is just the beginning, and there will be more to come.
Sure enough, within three days, several corps commanders, led by Siris, received orders from the army one after another, and were sent to defend the area around the Heydrich Gorge.
The Heydrich Gorge, best known for its fragmented surface formations:
There are no oil and water deposits underground, and due to the topography, the army defending there can only hold on, and it is difficult to attack and conduct large-scale battles, but the demon clan can create sneak attacks and attacks with a high intensity because of their strong physique, which is undoubtedly miserable for the army guarding there, it can be said that it is a garrison with large consumption, less oil and water, and it is difficult to make contributions.
And the most important thing is that such a deployment is obviously the result of the overseer's force behind the scenes, otherwise the overseer, although supervising the army on behalf of His Majesty, does not have the right to deploy the army, and the Chinese army command has made such a transfer, which has already proved His Majesty's snub to Siris and others in a certain way.
Siris's previous dreams, and the price paid for it, can be said to be directly abandoned!
"Is this the power of monsters? Or is it just the tip of the iceberg? β
After learning of the order of Siris and others, old Loquemu locked himself up alone and sat for a long time.
This turmoil, from Lin An to the time the incident subsided, did not exceed ten days in total, and the turmoil had already come to an end.
Old Roxmu and the forces behind him escaped, although it had a small impact, but on the whole, the impact was not great, and because several strong competitors withdrew from the competition, the shape faced by the old Roxime family became clearer.
But old Roxmu didn't feel happy at all, but was a little chilled by what happened to Siris:
"The so-called shortcut to the sky in one step has never existed, even if we have fame, our second-rate families are still far behind those great nobles who have been hereditary for thousands of years!"
For a long time, in the shadows of the empty room, there was an old sigh.
Although he claimed to be cultivating behind closed doors, in fact, because he could contact Sidney, Lin An's information never lagged behind, and she soon learned about James's "gift" and the deployment of Siris and others.
"Extinguish the storm in just three days! β¦β¦ Oh, our Overseer is no ordinary man. Hearing the news, Lin An didn't 'show' his joy, and smiled lightly.
"You're not satisfied?" Sidney's Voice-Telling Wonder.
"In just three days, it's not so much for me as for the sake of this Lord Overseer to quickly calm things down for his duty,"
Lin An smiled lightly,
"As for the loss of His Majesty's favor by Captain Siris, just listen to it, don't take it seriously-
His Excellency the Overseer is certainly from a noble background, and those Siris are not some small people who can be manipulated casually, especially in the current war situation, do you really think that they will casually treat the military situation as just because of us?
Even if the Overseers had such ability, they would not offend so many aristocratic families with the real power of the army at once. β
The Overseer is just giving Lin An a face explanation temporarily, she has a month to leave the ice field, and the war is protracted, at this time, she is temporarily transferred and neglected, and she can be transferred back in a few days, at that time, Lin An will have long been far away, can she still stretch her hand so long?
Lin Ancai didn't believe that Rheinthal could cover the sky with one hand in the Chinese army, and in just three days, he settled those guys who kept tossing and turning, it was nothing more than an agreement with the other party in private, making it clear and compromising with each other - maybe it also took advantage of the power of her genius with infinite potential, and promised to be powerful, so that the other party could temporarily calm down!
If you really want to deal with cutting meat, those people in Siris will definitely not sit idly by, and they won't make trouble with genius monsters!
"It's really him who says black, and he is also white! ββWhat is face and can you eat it? If you fall on the other side, you will let them secretly hate us, so it's better to get something real! β
Lin An didn't have a good breath and said, "Lord Overseer is a peacemaker in the middle, and both parties give favors, maybe in the end, they will benefit the most, but they-"
ββA stingy man, he can't stand his anger at all, he doesn't have a little heart!
At the same time, Rheinthal, who was immersed in the paperwork and reading the official documents, suddenly sneezed one after another,
"Ahh
"Ahh
β¦β¦
