Chapter 614: The water is falling out, and the waves are treacherous
Lin An was still thinking about how to find the emperor's location one second, and the next second he got the answer.
Transparent three-dimensional structural drawings without color and physical fillings are not very suitable for ordinary people, but this is only an introductory subject for basic architectural structures and mages.
Lin An was only stunned for a moment, and quickly calculated, confirming that the dark room where the emperor was located was diagonally above the dark room where they were, and there was a stone layer about four zhang thick between the two layers of secret passages.
"That's enough, Titi!"
Titi also wanted to continue to look into the dark room, but was stopped by Lin An, she didn't know if there were any strong people in the dark room, and she was worried about alarming the people inside.
The purple light was obediently retracted, and Titi's smug affection came from the soul connection, and Lin An couldn't help but praise: ["Titi is awesome! βγ
["An An is also great! Titi replied back and forth.
Lancet noticed eye contact between the two, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
He had already noticed that some of Titi's actions were inconsistent with his cold appearance, but Lin An seemed to be deliberately covering it up, so he didn't ask, and when Lin An turned his head, he lowered his eyes slightly again, staring intently at the copper pipe.
At this moment, a clear conversation came from the brass again.
"Odin, do you know what you're doing?"
ββ¦β¦ It's clear to me that this isn't what you've been pushing me to do. Odin snorted.
"Stop, if you stop now, I can act as if nothing happened." The Emperor said coldly.
"You know it's impossible, didn't you teach me from the beginning that I could never put myself in the hands of others? You risked the lives of my wife and two daughters and a son. This confirms that this is indeed a wise saying. β
In a word, the hidden hatred for the emperor was revealed, and Odin continued lightly. "What's more, if it weren't for the fact that my cooperation with the Mage Tower was beyond your expectations, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here at all now."
"Those old immortals in the Mage Tower are not light and can be driven, at what cost do you use to convince them to cooperate with you?"
"Didn't you already guess that? What master wouldn't be tempted by the opportunity to enter the ancestral land under the Imperial Capital, a chance to help them increase their chances of becoming a legend? β
Underground in the imperial capital?
The Land of Origin?
Increase your chances of becoming a Legend!
Lin Anxin jumped abruptly. Involuntarily glancing at Lance, the Ancestral Land was completely unheard of, and both realized that they seemed to have overheard some extremely important secret.
The two listened more intently.
A muffled sound came from the brass pipe, and the emperor seemed to smash something in anger, and shouted angrily:
"Bastard! Unfilial son! β¦β¦ You! How dare you! β¦β¦β
Speaking of the back, he was a little out of breath, which shows how much Odin's words stimulated the emperor, and it is obvious that the price Odin paid for winning over the mage tower has touched the emperor's bottom line. Even the emperor, who was calm in the face of the changes in Odin's palace, couldn't suppress his anger after hearing about it.
"Did you know about adding a legend? What does it mean for the empire as a whole? Do you think that as long as there is that covenant, it will be foolproof? If you really allow the old immortals of the Mage Tower to enter the ancestral land, even if you can really replace me in the end, I'm afraid that you won't be able to sit on the throne steadily! β
There was a muffled sound of thumping in the brass pipe, and the emperor was using his scepter to pause repeatedly, which showed that he was already extremely angry.
"Why should my father pretend in front of me, if you are really angry and have nothing to do, but you will not show it like this, I am afraid you have already had a countermeasure. Let me think, who is your last hole card, the Azure Spear, or the Black Rod Wizard? It should still be the Azure Spear. I remember that there was also an Azure Order in the vault, and if you asked for it, the crown would not sit idly by. β
Odin's words were low and steady, as if he were gossiping, rather than predicting a powerful being who could make him successful at any moment.
"He knows!"
Lin An chuckled in his heart, and he couldn't care about looking at Lance's changing expression.
That's right, if there is anything that can make Lin An sure that victory will be on the emperor's side, no matter how much Odin tosses, he can't turn over the guarantee of the emperor's five finger mountains, it is the storage of the Azure Spear.
It was precisely because he had encountered the Azure Spear before, and he had vaguely learned from the Wolf Sword Saint's tone that the Azure Spear was closely related to the Sword Saint Mountain, that Lin An speculated that the Azure Spear might be the emperor's backhand, so he had been calm and calm, and did not dare to interfere too much in this chess game, only secretly boosting the waves where the emperor was out of sight, and was ready to run at any time.
What does the legendary powerhouse think?
It means that no matter how many master-level powerhouses come, as long as they expand the realm, they will not be able to shake the existence that threatens such a being: in the sense of the law, they have begun to break away from the level of human life and begin to leap into the level of higher life, and are called "gods walking on the land".
And in this chess game, the insertion of the legendary powerhouse means that no matter how Odin struggles, the victory or defeat of the chess game depends on the emperor's thoughts.
Since Odin was so sure in front of the emperor, Lin An had no doubt that they might have been shrouded in the legendary realm, and although the Azure Spear did not appear, it did not mean that he did not exist.
Lin An wasn't worried about her and Lanster's safety, presumably Azure Spear wouldn't mind the two of them at all, but what she couldn't figure out was:
She thought that Odin didn't know the emperor's backhand, but now it seems that she underestimated Odin, but since she knew that it was a dead end, why did Odin still choose the palace change? Does he have more powerful hole cards?
Lin An's mind was confused for a while.
The brass side was also quiet for a while, and the emperor was not unsurprised that Odin guessed the storage of the Azure Spear, and only said after a while:
"Now that you know, don't stop it!"
"It's not that I don't want to stop, it's that we can't stop."
Odin was faint, in a calm and flat tone, as if he was not seeking his own death but winning:
"Father. You have raised me for thirty years, and you know how many nobles have attached themselves to me during these thirty years. How many of your high-ranking ministers are inclined to me in their hearts?
Why do you think I can lightly say that the twelve old immortals in the Kinetic Mage Tower? If it were Charles or Yokjar who you were forced into the game, do you think the twelve old foxes of the Mage Tower would be so easy to believe their promises? Those nobles outside will be bewitched by me to participate in the palace change?
You have given me such a position of power for thirty years, and now you want to take it back, and not only will I not allow it, but those people will not allow itβwhat will you do with the noble ministers who follow me if I fail. And the twelve old foxes in the Mage Tower? β
When Lin An heard this, she realized something, and at this time, a hot breath hit her ear, and Lancet whispered:
"No wonder it hasn't started a fight yet, maybe from the moment the people from the Mage Tower stood behind Odin, they just couldn't fight - Odin is now showing his strength, and it's difficult for His Majesty to ride a tiger."
One sentence finally broke through the obstacle in Lin Anxin. This confusing situation is finally clear in front of her eyes!
Not bad!
The emperor laid out this chess game in order to achieve a quick victory. The turmoil that will determine or change the heir will be controlled within the smallest range, and no matter what the final outcome is, it will not shake Merlin's good situation at this time!
For the emperor, if there is anything more important than his life, it is undoubtedly the opportunity that he has put into his life, as well as the gathering of dozens of generations of Merlin's ancestors, the great situation that can allow Merlin to expel the demon race and unify the continent, and the opportunity that is not to be missed in a lifetime!
And Odin is undoubtedly well aware of what is in the first place in the emperor's heart. And in this-for-tat layout, in the chess game that was almost mastered by the emperor, he survived to the death, but forced the emperor to the cliff:
He knew that he was dead, but still launched the forced palace. Is it a broken brain? No, it's very clever.
Father, don't you want to change the heir?
I'll let you change, and take the initiative to force the palace, put the blade on your neck and wait for you to cut it!
But there are alternates for the first heir, are there alternates for so many aristocratic ministers who are coerced?
These aristocratic ministers can be solved by relying on the emperor's mastery of the political situation in the past thirty years, but what about the twelve ** divisions of the mage tower?
This is not to say that it can be made up, Merlin lost twelve ** divisions and the original first heir at once, plus a part of the nobles who were purged, such turmoil, the emperor may not be able to make up for it in his lifetime, not to mention the diplomatic internal troubles at this time, Merlin is not allowed to show a trace of weakness.
Therefore, although the emperor has the help of the Azure Spear, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he can't attack Odin for a while, and Odin is obviously facing a desperate situation, and life and death are in the emperor's thoughts, but on the contrary, he seems to have the upper hand and grasps the situation on the ground.
It's no wonder that the old foxes who have lived for hundreds of years in the Mage Tower would have so easily gotten on Odin's ship:
They had long expected that they would not be able to fight this time, the emperor would not see so many noble ministers near the palace die in the aftermath of the fight between the strong, and those court masters also knew the inside story and would not fight with the ** division of the mage tower, so although their strength was strong, they were just chess pieces used to fight each other on the chessboard, and the real victory or defeat was between the emperor and Odin.
Even if there is a legend, the emperor is unlikely to let Merlin lose twelve ** divisions at once, since the threat to life is not great, then take some risks for the realm of legends, for those ** divisions who are accustomed to wind and waves, it is simply a million profits, why not, they simply hit it off with Odin, no wonder they got on Odin's ship in a short time!
And those grandmasters, are they really doing nothing in this chess game?
In an instant, Lin An's mind flashed through all kinds of things from the ice field all the way to the imperial capital, those things hidden under the calm water:
The imperial power's fear of the mage group, the power struggle of the power class, and the secret war for the throne......
The waves were treacherous, and one invisible hand was exerting influence on this huge whirlpool, Lin An had always thought that he had seen it clearly, and it was only at this time that he realized that there was another world.
(To be continued)
psοΌ
Finally wrote this twist, and Cavin got really good**......
So everyone may see a little vague, simply put, the so-called forced palace, not necessarily to force the palace or the death of one of the people who are forced to the palace, to achieve the goal, the emperor and Odin no one wants an endgame, so the emperor chooses to fight quickly, but Odin is not a vegetarian, put it to death and then live, and use the palace to force the emperor to the corner, so forcing the palace is a means, the strong are chess pieces, and the game is the emperor and Odin.
But are the strong men who have lived for hundreds of years just pawns that are simply used?
Regarding the problem that Lin An realized at the end of the chapter, I would like to use a very vulgar sentence to explain: Who is the person who benefits the most in the end......
From the perspective of the entire continent, the palace change that occurred in the palace is only a part of the big chess game, and the advantage of the strong is that they live for a long time, have more experience, have long patience, have a long wiring, and imperceptibly, with their age and experience, quietly laugh and make profits, and quietly tighten the benefits into their pockets instead of fighting each other like the emperor's father and son, which is in line with their identity and age.
And to raise the time and space to another level, from the perspective of the guardians of the Tower of Babel, the entire world of human and demon races is not a bigger chess game......
Eh, Kavin is stuck here, I'm so entangled in this time, it's annoying to sort out these contradictions and plots, especially when I can't calm down during the New Year...... t_t
