Chapter 390: The Rivalry Behind the Waterway and Land Routes
Lin An closed his door to recuperate, but his preparations to return to Merlin did not stop at all.
After all, it was only Lin An who had been cultivating behind closed doors for a month, and Sidney could still come forward, and with Sidney there, whether Lin An could go out or not did not prevent her from receiving messages.
Rheinthal also knew about Lin An's situation.
Although the situation has been quickly resolved by Rheinthal, Lin An has already said that he will be closed for a month, and of course it is impossible to come out as soon as the matter subsides.
And because of this incident, Lin An is now the center of attention, even with Sidney's natural mocking face and arrogance, there are still some people in the Chinese army that he can't refuse, judging from Sidney's experience and his complaints for days, Lin An can be closed and not see people but steal his leisure.
"What? Master James is going to come with us? ”
During the daily routine interrogation, Lin An frowned when he heard Sidney's announcement.
"It is said that he has been in the ice field for almost ten years and has been planning to return home for a long time, so he stopped by and went on the road with us." Sidney in the arraignment is flat and straightforward.
When don't you go, but you want to go with us?
Lin An thought about it, "It seems that Lord Overseer has already sent our news back to the rear, and the intention of doing so may be related to the instructions from the rear." ”
Lin An has been missing in the ice field for more than two years, either accidentally or unaccidentally, and if Rheinthal had all the information about her, he would probably consider beware of this kind of "halfway disappearance" in order to complete the task after receiving the meaning from the rear.
"You mean, that's what the emperor meant?" Sidney's voice continued.
"Maybe it's the meaning of the emperor's majesty, or the meaning of the high-level of Merlin's power, who knows!"
Lin An could imagine what those people thought.
A future strong person who is not yet full of wings and does not have a specific nationality position, of course, it is necessary to put her close and watch, and try to win over and cultivate feelings as much as possible, which is not bad for the country or personal power, and it is also Merlin's consistent method of winning over the strong.
After all, Merlin has the famous Sword Saint Mountain and the Royal Secret Law Group in the mainland, and for those who are capable, they already have an innate advantage, otherwise so many strong people from subordinate countries would not have such a close relationship and involvement with Merlin, and they are even willing to fight for the empire.
I have to say that Merlin has always been very good at recruiting and cultivating strong people, even Lin An, after hearing about the dense environment of the imperial capital, his sense of resistance to going to the imperial capital has decreased a lot.
Lin An is now waiting for Mourinho's summons to be summoned a lot more urgently than before, and she needs to test whether those strong people have begun to doubt her connection with the legendary powerhouse.
After all, this determines whether Merlin regards her as a seed of a future powerhouse, or a person who has a close relationship with a legendary powerhouse - it's not that Lin An is arrogant about his own weight, once anyone or something involves a legendary powerhouse, its own weight will become insignificant, not to mention that Lin An is just a seedling who "has the potential to become a legend in the future".
"You're worried that your identity has been known?" What Sidney is talking about, of course, is the background of that legendary powerhouse.
There are too many things involved in the matter of the curse trial, and Lin An did not say it to Sidney, but he also expressed his concern about being exposed, so it is not difficult for Sidney to think of what Lin An is worried about:
If she entered the imperial capital as a young genius, the environment she faced would of course be relatively friendly and kind; On the contrary, Lin An's situation in the imperial capital will be quite turbulent.
The legendary powerhouse has the name of "the god who walks on the land", although he has never "revealed" his traces or interfered with the world, but in the case of Merlin's national army and the ambition to unify the continent after the war between the two races, the relationship between Merlin's power group and the legendary powerhouse ...... It's very complicated and subtle to think about!
“…… As for the route, the Overseers offered two options, one by land and one by water.
It is said that Archduke Stuart, who personally came to the front line and took the lead, will also return to the principality. The eastern front is near the sea, and the offensive of the demons on the waterway is also very weak, so although it has to be a long way off, the trip will not be delayed much, but it will be much more comfortable and safe. ”
Sidney continued.
When Lin An heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the voices of the brother and sister Lancet and Andre immediately appeared in his mind, and a moment of softness flashed away, and his face turned slightly cold, "Our Lord Rheinthal really took great pains to let me go back in peace!" ”
……
Rheinthal, who was in his office, suddenly sneezed again.
He reluctantly squeezed the bridge of his nose and turned a deaf ear to the ridicule of his friends.
"I haven't usually seen you touch women, why are you so weak these days that your body is like those little white faces in the imperial capital who are too drunk!"
James was accustomed to "sexually" losing two sentences, but because he had been crouching here a lot lately, Rheinthal's tolerance had risen dramatically, and he was completely immune to his verbal attacks.
"If you're just staying here to make noise, you can go out, there are still a lot of official duties waiting for you to hand over from the mage group!" Rheinthal bowed his head and held his pen and opened the next official document.
"You don't have to worry about the handover of affairs, I've already done it, just wait for the announcement and then I can go,"
James flicked his fingers lazily, "But whether it can set off on schedule is still unknown, with the current situation of the war, Mourinho's ** division and other strong men have no time to reply at all - now the one-month deadline is coming!" ”
"Whether the Master returns or not, your team will leave on time." Rheinthal said without raising his head.
James squinted his eyes very keenly, and his natural political tentacles smelled a different taste, "It seems that the people over there in the imperial capital attach great importance to the little beauty mage!" ”
Due to the special status of the Overseer, there are not many people who can support Rheinthal even in the entire imperial capital, let alone the status of the high-ranking - James thought that Lin An's appearance would be taken seriously, but now it seems that this attention to Cheng Dù is far beyond his imagination, and there may be some reason behind it that he does not know.
"No wonder you are betting and luring, knowing that revealing your understanding of her information will make the little beauty mage unhappy, and you must also be stubborn."
Rheinthal had Lin An's information, and Lin An should know it, but Rheinthal used these messages to try to influence Lin An, which raised his behavior to the level of threat.
After all, this time it's just a lure, so next time, is it going to rise to a threat to life?
There are some boundaries that cannot be broken lightly -
These are the rules of the game.
James's words were not answered by Rheinthal, as there was a soft knock on the office door, and the man who came in was none other than Sidney's squire waiting for a reply.
"Lord Overseer, after some consideration, Master Elvis replied that if Master James had no objection, he had decided to return by land." The attendant relayed respectfully.
"Alright, you go down." Hearing this, Rheinthal calmly waved his attendant away.
After the attendant left, James raised his eyebrows, looking interested.
"Remember, with my opinion, such polite and thoughtful words don't look like what the Elvis mage would say," he looked at his friend with interest, "It seems that the little beauty mage doesn't want to be so soft on the outside, and doesn't intend to compromise with you." ”
- That's because she guessed that I didn't dare to do anything further, and I couldn't do anything to the people she valued...... She's also testing my bottom line, or rather, the bottom line of those behind me.
Rheinthal pursed his thin lips slightly, and looked at James who was not sitting lightly, "You seem to be happy to see this situation?" I thought you didn't have much left of the 'former' Doyev affair with her. ”
"I still am, because I'm still the head of the Mage Order,"
James shrugged, "As a master, I don't have a good opinion of her actions, and it doesn't mean that I, as a mage, don't approve of her actions—and I'm leaving my job in eight days at most!" ”
He spread his hands and said, "You see, this is the rule of the mage—a common language that you won't understand!" ”
"Well, tell you in advance of an unfortunate news,"
Reinthal curled his thin lips and smiled coldly, "Whatever you think of this Master Master who has a common language, no matter what choice this Master Lin makes, I will not allow accidents to happen. ”
……
Three days before the expiration of the January period, Lin An ended his recuperation ahead of schedule.
This did not make any waves in the rear camp of the Chinese army:
Those who have the ability and motivation to make waves have been transferred, and the remaining people have been dealing with Sidney for most of the month, and the two young members of the famous "Purple Rose" are the kind of orthodox mages who focus on magic, and they are not too enthusiastic about expanding their contacts and making friends.
Communication is a science.
Even if people are eager to befriend Lin Ancidney's potential stock, they must be willing to cooperate with the latter, otherwise unilaterally hot face and cold butt will be in vain, and they may inadvertently disgust the other party without knowing it.
Mourinho's ** division, which was on the front line, still did not send back a message at this time, I don't know what happened on the front line, Lin An never waited for his second summons.
On the evening of the second day after Lin An left the customs, outside the camp of the rear camp of the Chinese army, a dusty team appeared.
The members of the team varied, including low-level soldiers with different insignia and seemingly low-status appearances, elite soldiers with complete armor and a fierce body, fierce warriors who were thinly dressed and "exposed" their arms and chests in the cold wind but were not afraid of the cold, and mages who were dressed in robes from head to tail.
This group of people with different compositions but who got along harmoniously walked towards the Chinese army under the guidance of the leader of the team.
At the rear of the team, a group of people gathered together and looked at the rear camp of the Chinese army, which was already in sight.
"Captain John, the Chinese military camp is in front!"
A soldier who walked with a slight limp, dressed in the elite armor of the Long-tailed Green Eagle Legion, turned his head to a sturdy man beside him with some excitement and said, "Master Lin and Master Elvis should be waiting outside in the camp now!" ”
At this time, Lin An had not yet known about the arrival of old acquaintances in the team outside the camp, but after a long time, he received a summons from Salin, who had not been in contact for a long time.
