The door opened, and Lin An, who looked calm and had a hint of malaise between his eyebrows, walked out.

There was no one outside the door, but an old voice came from the wall.

"Master Lin, how is the situation with Your Majesty?"

"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Lin An thought of the oak seeds he had consumed for this, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of distress and regret.

"According to the terms agreed in advance, Merlin will not break his promise." Master Antonio sensed the change in Lin An's feelings and assured.

"With the master's guarantee, I am relieved." Half of Lin An's attitude was also made to show Master Antonio, otherwise, with her mental power, even if her mind was too exhausted, she would not slack off and expose her mood change in front of Master Antonio.

"Can I go in and see Majesty now?"

"Yes, the ritual has been completed, and the infusion of life energy is quite smooth. However, after all, it is the energy infused from the outside world, even if it is very mild, His Majesty's body still has a process of adaptation, and it may not wake up so quickly, but other people can also come in and visit, but it is better to keep quiet, not too much. ”

"Of course," Master Antonio saw that Lin An's mind was tired, and hurriedly said, "If Master Lin needs to rest, I will immediately bring someone in to serve, but before His Majesty wakes up, please don't stay for the time being, so as not to have an accident and need to find you urgently." ”

"I understand, just arrange a room for me near His Majesty's room, I don't have any special requirements." Since he has taken ninety-nine steps, Lin An doesn't mind finishing the last step and getting a perfect ending. Nodding.

Half a day later, Lin An woke up from his slumber, and the mind consumed by performing the divine ritual for three consecutive days had returned to its best state.

The circle arranged in the room was untouched, and the heavy curtains blocked the natural light from the window.

Lin An got up. The slender fingers swept smoothly and naturally in the air, jumping out of the fingertips from the satin-like light, and automatically outlining a few numbers in the air, Lin An knew that he had slept through most of the day, and it was already sunset, close to seven o'clock for dinner.

Without removing the protective circle in the room, Lin An took advantage of the short time after waking up to look at the messages in the Ring of Artemis respectively, and then contacted Titi.

There's nothing wrong with Titi's side, Jukai is for a humanoid beast like him. It's like a fish into the sea. If it weren't for Lin An's advice. I don't know where the wild has gone.

In the Ring of Artemis, due to the interruption of contact with Lin An for a few days, he left a lot of messages.

However, Lin An had informed Andre of them before proceeding with the ceremony. Therefore, Andre was not worried that Lin An had no news, but simply asked Lin An if he was smooth, and left a message saying that Sumisipi City had been checking the foreign population in the past few days, and they were inconvenient to live in the hotel, and they had encountered a little trouble, so they went to rent a small villa in a rich area these days, and left an address in the Ring of Artemis.

"Well, although the city lord of Sumisipi City can't break into the high-level social circles, he probably also received the news and knows that the situation in the palace is wrong. If the investigation and control of the city are intensified. Moving out of a crowded hotel and moving into a villa is not a bad idea. Lin An nodded.

From the situation in Sumisipi City, we can also indirectly see the situation outside, which should only be the aftermath of the palace change.

After the palace was purged and the news was blocked, and there were many masters in charge, Lin An estimated that the situation of Odin's suicide and the critical illness of the emperor Xià was very unlikely to be leaked outside the palace, and there was a cover of the purge after the palace change, and those nobles outside would not notice anything unusual in a short time.

Using a spell to solve the problem of personal hygiene, Lin An didn't ask someone to serve the meal, and directly took out some bacon meat and sandwiches from the space to fill his stomach, then opened the door and walked out.

As soon as the door was opened, the maid outside the door, before she could speak, heard Master Rice's voice ringing in her ears:

"Master Lin, you're awake, please come to Your Majesty, or I'll ask the maid to fetch you some food to satisfy your hunger?"

"No, I'll come right over." As soon as he opened the door, he came to look for her, obviously he had been waiting for her, and Lin An would not be uninteresting.

Before he could reach the emperor's bedchamber, he saw Master Rice and Prince Charles waiting outside the aisle.

Master Rice still had the same look of Tarzan collapsing in front of him, and Charles was blue and black under his eyes, as if he had not slept for three days, and his bloodshot eyes could not hide a trace of anxiety.

When the two sides met, Charles nodded hastily, and then couldn't wait to ask Lin An: "Master Lin, my father hasn't woken up yet, will something go wrong!" ”

His voice was very hoarse, like a drunkard who woke up with a hangover after a night of continuous drinking, Lin An glanced at him, and had a little guess in his heart that Charles had been waiting outside the palace for the past few days, and he didn't think his reaction was strange, and replied:

"At present, it is not more than twelve magics, this is normal, after all, the physical condition of His Majesty Xià is no longer in his prime, such a strong energy infusion, the adaptation speed is definitely much worse than that of young people, but His Majesty's situation is improving, and the masters should be able to check this. Right? Master Rice. ”

"Master Lin is right, the effect of the ceremony is very good, far beyond our expectations, in the experience of the old man, this is already a miracle, I can't imagine anyone else can do the same."

Master Rice's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he said meaningfully.

Charles forced a laugh to hide his disappointment.

"Master Rice is overrated." Lin An didn't seem to be able to hear the deep meaning in Master Rice's mouth, nor did he explain it in depth, but he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Charles knew that this was not a place to show his feelings, and forcibly pulled his mood out of the disappointment and complexity, only to realize the meaning of the conversation between the two, and suddenly remembered in his heart that Lin An had saved a dying person from the death line this time, and the importance of this method for the emperor was self-evident......

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva before remembering the attitude he should have, and put on a grateful look.

"Master Lin saved his father's life in an instant this time, as a son. No amount of gratitude is enough to express how I feel at this time......"

After a great deal of gratitude from both singers and songwriters, Charles got to the point, "According to the examiners of the masters, my father's condition is getting better in an instant. I just don't know how effective this ritual will be, and if something similar happens, will it be possible to do it again? ”

"The price of carrying out the life infusion ritual is very high, if it weren't for the fact that I happened to have the materials in my hand that were barely enough to carry out a ritual, I would be helpless against His Majesty's illness this time, and I was actually not sure of forcing it this time, and because of the rarity and irreplaceability of the casting materials, the materials in my hands were far from enough to perform the same ritual again, not to mention the same ritual, a person can only bear it once. The repeated ritual was performed on the same person again. is invalid. ”

Before saying these words. Lin An first determined that Rice did not use polygraph spells, and with the difference in mental power between the two, Master Rice might be able to judge that her words were inexhaustible. But it is definitely impossible to tell the truth from the false, because Lin An's words are half-truths and half-truths.

In any case, it can't be revealed in the tone, otherwise even if there is a legendary powerhouse in the background as a deterrent, it will be difficult to ensure the covetousness of those madmen who have reached the end of their lives.

Master Rice smiled at Lin An, and his eyes were slightly folded.

"Can't do it again?" Charles didn't know whether he was disappointed or happy, and asked, "Master Lin is really broken, what materials are needed for this ceremony?" Gather my Merlin's manpower and material resources, and I will compensate you. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Those materials are not produced in this plane, and there are only some very special opportunities to enter certain secret realms. It can be obtained occasionally, which is extremely rare, and as for the rare Cheng dù, you can just ask Master Rice to know, I can get some occasionally, and I am extremely lucky. Lin An estimated that Rice knew about the fragments of the kingdom of God, and maybe even entered it, so he said half-truthfully.

"Master Lin is right, those things can only be harvested by chance, as far as I know, those old fellows I know don't have in their hands, Master Lin and others get and use them to treat His Majesty, it is indeed very generous." Master Rice's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Lin An.

"I see, that's a pity, then the royal family may have to make up for it with other treasures in the treasury, I hope you don't mind."

Charles said with regret on his face, intentionally or unintentionally skipping the previous question about the effect of the ritual on the emperor's life extension, and Lin An and Master Rice didn't seem to remember that Charles had asked this question.

Approaching the emperor's bedroom, Lin An vaguely sensed that two powerful auras were hidden in the dark, and the auras were somewhat familiar, namely Master Fran and Master Xiubis, the latter of which slightly leaked out when Lin An and the three of them walked by.

Outside the door of the emperor's bedroom, there was the only gray-haired man among the four golden sword saints who had not spoken to Lin An.

The martial arts he cultivated seemed to be similar to that of an assassin, Lin An could hardly feel his existence, he seemed to suddenly appear from the side of the door, opened his eyes and looked at the three of them, nodded almost invisibly, and took a step to the left to get out of the way.

After opening the door, Lin An unexpectedly saw the Burton Sword Saint and Master Alberta, and saw Lin An and the three of them arrive and walked out of the emperor's room.

Among them, after seeing Lin An, Burton's Sword Saint looked much better than that night, and even showed a very gentle smile, which flattered Lin An.

At this time, Prince Douglas and Randster hurried into the living room from outside, and Master Alberta immediately walked out of the emperor's room when he saw it.

Douglas frowned and said two words in Master Alberta's ear, Lin An vaguely heard words like "queen" and "take medicine", and Master Alberta left in a hurry.

Lancet's blue eyes lit up slightly when he saw Lin An, came to her side, and said in a gnat-like voice:

"Her Majesty's illness has been repeated, and the situation on Her Majesty's side has been hidden from her, and Elizabeth is worried that she will notice something, so she has been serving in the queen's bedchamber."

Lin An nodded when he heard this, and glanced at Charles and Douglas, their faces were a little darker, and the low pressure affected the palace attendants in the dormitory, compared to the situation on the night when the emperor was critically ill, Lin An felt that the two brothers' worries about the queen were obviously much more sincere.

But for this kind of palace secret, Lin An didn't think too much, accompanied by Burton into the room, the room was made of gold and inlaid with many gemstones, the emperor was like an ordinary old man, his eyes were closed on the bed.

His hair, which had almost faded black, turned gray again. There are a few white strands in the curly black hair, only more gray hair is shown on the temples, and the shiny skin is faintly fleshy, and even the age spots have disappeared a lot. Like an old man in his fifties, he breathes peacefully.

In Lin An's perception, his vitality had slowly stabilized, and he had returned to the state in which Lin An had met the emperor for the first time at the award ceremony.

I have to say that in the past three months, although the emperor seems to have not changed much in front of people, perhaps because of the continuous blows and the exhaustion of planning behind the scenes, the vitality of the emperor's body has already been overdrawn a lot, and when the palace changed, it was only because of Odin's threat that he instinctively held on to it. Afterwards, this breath was inevitably released. And Odin's death. It was at this moment that the emperor was given the last stimulus, causing him to fall straight down.

Lin An didn't use magic in front of everyone, and the Dawn God Envoy's perception of life force was completely instinctive. After quietly perceiving for a while, Lin An ended the inspection and walked out with the Burton Sword Saint.

The palace attendants were dismissed, and those who remained in the living room pricked up their ears.

"The situation of His Majesty has basically recovered to two months ago, but because this kind of ritual is also the first time I have performed it, I can't guarantee the effect, but it is estimated that as long as I am no longer overdrawn and stimulated by the outside world, there should not be a situation as unprepared as this time." Lin An put his hands in the wide sleeves of his robe and said conservatively.

Douglas said this as if he didn't say it, and Douglas showed a hint of anxiety. He just saw Lin An coming, so he deliberately stayed, and when he heard this, he said:

"Father and Emperor have all kinds of opportunities, not to mention the government affairs of Merlin, but the situation on the ice field is impossible for Father to be able to recuperate with peace of mind, not to mention the external stimulation of this kind of thing, how can we predict it, is Master Lin more definite? So a solemn ceremony, is it just a façade, not even ten years? ”

He didn't dare to ask that question clearly, although this was what everyone wanted to know, and at this time, everyone's eyes shone on Lin An like a spotlight.

How many years does the emperor predict how many years he will live?

Lin An smiled, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I can't guarantee this." ”

Don't say you don't know, even if you know, it's impossible to say!

Burton Sword Saint was very calm, "Actually, His Majesty's physical condition has not been bad, and he has been able to recover until two months ago, which is already very good. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, the emperor has always maintained well, at least at the time of the award ceremony, he was still in good spirits, and in the eyes of outsiders, he could live for ten or eight years, otherwise Byron Charles would not have secretly acted so much, thinking that they still have a chance.

Because of Burton's words, Lin An smiled at him, and the Burton Sword Saint with the light above his head had a trace of surprise in his eyes at this time, as if he had only realized that Lin An was a stunning beauty at this time, and he hadn't put her in his eyes at all before.

Lin An couldn't cry or laugh a little, thinking of the few Sword Saints who were far away in the ice field, especially the Harrison Sword Saint who had already lost his soul in the Battle of Ma Pei, his heart darkened slightly, and he disappeared a little bit for the previous holiday with Burton Sword Saint and others.

Everyone whispered for a while, and Lin An saw that it was almost the same, and said loudly: "If nothing happens, Your Majesty will wake up before sunrise tomorrow morning at the latest, so I'll stay here and wait for Your Majesty to wake up." ”

***

When Lin An thought of the people on the ice field, some kind of drastic change was also taking place on the front line of the war between the human and demon races.

The defeated army on the middle route reorganized the routed troops, regrouped under the continuous manpower and logistics support from the rear, and together with the reinforcements from the east and west fronts under the command of the rear headquarters, they surrounded and pressed the front little by little, and regained the territory lost after the defeat of the Chinese army inch by inch.

And the strange thing is that the necromancer of the demon race also suddenly disappeared from the battlefield as if he suddenly evaporated from the world.

Although the undead are still scattered all over the battlefield, the weakness of the Terran soldiers after engaging them can be clearly seen - like a shell without a brain, an army of the undead with a necromancer secretly commanding the formation, and the undead who are as purposeless as the rangers scattering and attacking without distinguishing between friend and foe, the difference is obviously not the same, and the difference can be seen only from the casualties.

At first, the Terran army didn't notice it, after all, many armies had encountered scattered undead, and the ice field was vast and cold, and the transmission of military information was obviously much slower, and many news were very delayed.

Despite all the obstacles, the same situation has been experienced many times, and the feedback from multiple regiments and the summary of the encounter after the battle have been summarized, and the command of the rear battalion has also noticed the anomaly.

After continuous testing, it was finally discovered that the necromancers who suddenly appeared on the third-line battlefield and caused the rout of the Chinese army. They disappeared from the battlefield as abruptly as they appeared.

“…… Strange, could it be that all the necromancers of the demon clan have been killed? ”

“…… No, even if this is the case, it is impossible for the demons to give up the results of the battle. Let's light yì counterattack. ”

“…… So abnormal, there is a conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy! ”

The staff officers of the rear strategic command argued and discussed the battle situation again and again, and the difficulties that they had racked their brains to overcome because of the appearance of the army of the undead disappeared inexplicably.

But everyone didn't let go, but even more in the air, because the more unknown, the more terrifying, there was a great rout on the battlefield of the Chinese army, and no one could despise the abnormality of the demons. so as not to subdue the lost ground. While secretly issuing warning signals. Be wary of a powerful counterattack that the demons may be brewing.

But such a major event cannot but be reported, and the rear battalion command will report the abnormality of the front line to the Gunter Command. The high command urgently reported to the military headquarters, and the military headquarters was urgently transferred to the Sumisipi Palace.

Due to the palace change and the emperor's illness, this record of the urgent military situation has been backlogged in a stack of notes on the emperor's desk for nearly ten days, and the emperor, who should have reviewed and replied to this, is still lying in bed, unable to respond to it as it should.

In the dark, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands that connect countless accidents with a single thread, disturbing the life trajectory of many people in this world.

The torrent of fate represented by the upheaval of the Star Track. It is quietly surging in an irresistible spread!

Outside the fortress of Mapei.

More than a year has passed, and the scars created by the legendary battle on the snowy ice field have long been covered by the ice wind and cold snap that roars on the ice field day after day, replaced by an iceberg with crystal clear iceberg, like a huge tomb rising from the flat ground, stretching for nearly a hundred miles, like a tombstone rising from the ground, becoming a moat blocking the demons from going south.

“…… You betrayed the Terrans during your lifetime, went crazy for a while, and guarded the holy mountain for the demons, blocking the Terran army for nearly a thousand years, but you didn't expect that after you died, you would be here and become a barrier to the demons from going south - is this considered a debt repayment after death, old fellow? ”

At the peak of the iceberg, a middle-aged uncle with an ordinary face and a scumbag beard sat on the ice, holding a broken gun with even the red tassel faded in one hand, muttering to himself, as if he was hanging on something.

The wind mixed with ice particles blew three feet away from him, like the cry of a beast, but the thin clothes on the middle-aged man did not even lift the corners of his clothes.

"Huh!"

As if sensing something, the middle-aged two thick eyebrows suddenly frowned, and looked up.

As the middle-aged eyes looked at the sky, a hurricane vortex seemed to be born out of thin air, the thick clouds over the ice field that had not dispersed all year round were suddenly twisted, and in the sparse starry sky, an extremely bright blood-red star suddenly lit up in the southwest direction, dragging a long tail across most of the sky, falling into the dark stars in the north.

The constellation in the northern sky dimmed completely under the light of this star for almost a moment, and then suddenly it shone brightly, illuminating half of the starry sky!

"Red, Broom Star...... Hiss - ominous! Inauspicious! ”

There was a hint of solemnity in the middle-aged eyes, and his fingers pretended to paint on the ground, and finally frantically rubbed the hair that was only a line away from the bird's nest:

"Ahhh Prophecy or something, or those nagging and weird mages to do it, Lao Tzu is the life of a fight! ”

The voice was still floating in the air, and the person had already jumped up, turned into a cyan streamer, caught in the cold and ice wind, and flew north.

***

In the palace of Sumisibi, the emperor's bed.

Lin An, who was sitting next to the golden four-pillar bed, suddenly felt that the life energy in the emperor's body was a little stronger, she stood beside the bed, and sure enough, she found that the emperor's calm breathing was a little unsteady, and her eyebrows moved slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up in her sleep.

Because of Lin An's request, there was only Lin An in the room, but Lin An always knew that Master Antonio's aura had always existed as if it were nothing, and the latter did not hide it.

Seeing that the emperor seemed to have fallen into a nightmare and couldn't wake up for a while, Lin An hesitated, reached out and grabbed the thin wrist, and green light poured out from her body and submerged into the emperor's body.

Not long after holding the emperor's wrist, Lin An only felt a sudden sharp pain in his wrist, as if he was being caught by an iron hoop, and the thin old hand gave birth to an undue huge force, and clasped Lin An with his backhand.

At the same time, the eyes covered with sagging eyelids suddenly opened, and the appearance of the double black girl was immediately imprinted into the field of vision, and the eyes that had just struggled out of the nightmare sank, and hatred flashed clearly!

(To be continued)
