"So, is the pentagram really hitting the legend?"

Master Rice looked like this, and a spark of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Saxon looked at the emperor, who was silent, and finally replied: "Since you have guessed, I do not need to deny it." ”

The emperor admitted, and Master Rice's face became stern.

"I see."

"It's no wonder that you and Master Lin have not said anything to us, it turns out that they are waiting for Pentagram to become a Legend."

"It seems that the alliance between Master Lin and the royal family is far closer than I imagined, and even our initiative cannot make her balance tilt in our favor."

If the pentagram is successfully promoted, it is difficult to say how much influence it will have on the Merlin royal family.

But for Rice and others, it has the most direct impact:

The power represented by Rice and the others is no longer important to the royal family, and their status will be rapidly weakened, and they may be used by the newly promoted pentagram to set an example.

"So, how did you guess the truth?"

The smell of gunpowder had risen and could no longer be stimulated, Saxon glanced at the emperor and interjected: "Only we know about the promotion of the pentagram, and even the old sword saint does not know." ”

Except for Pentagram and Lin An, who had already gone underground, only the Emperor, Master Antonio, and him knew about this matter.

But the timing of Master Rice and others breaking into the palace was too coincidental, and the coincidence was so coincidental that it couldn't help but make people think about it.

After Master Rice guessed the truth, some kind of suspicion arose in the Saxon's mind.

Master Rice glanced at Saxon.

That sharp gaze made Saxon feel that his whole body was being seen through, as if the other party had insight into his inner thoughts.

"Your Highness intends to delay time with this?"

Saxon a rin.

"Because of prophecy."

Just when Saxon thought that Master Rice would not answer his question, Master Rice answered.

"Because of a master's prophecy, we know that the pentagram is likely to be promoted in the near future. And my eyeliner in the palace told me that Master Lin had been missing for many days—it was no coincidence. ”

He stared at the emperor.

The pentagram has reached the half-step legend for many years, and there has never been any rumor that they are about to be promoted, and their sudden promotion is related to Lin An, which is simply a self-evident fact.

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Prophecy? ”

"Prophecy."

The corners of the emperor's mouth drooped, and he curved an indifferent arc, "It's a pity, after the star track became chaotic, the master who was able to make such a powerful prophecy was not used by the royal family. ”

Master Rice heard the emperor's anger, but he didn't think it was a pestle.

The dominance of the royal family is no longer far and wide, and it cannot reach the true inner circle of the mage, and they have more inside information about the blockade of the royal family, which is more than the existence of an astrologer.

"Our power is far more powerful than you think." He said lightly.

The corners of the emperor's eyebrows twitched.

Therefore, all those in power hate such liberals the most.

These mages are all egoists, and they never know what a powerful master of prophecy will mean for this catastrophe and for the entire human race.

However, the power they displayed was not unscrupulous to the emperor.

Certainly not fear.

This is the Royal Palace.

This is the territory of dozens of generations of Merlin royal emperors who have operated it for more than 2,000 years.

There is no safer fortress on the Muse Continent than here.

Even if Rice was less than ten feet away from him, the emperor knew that the other party could not threaten him at all.

Even Master Antonio, who was by the Emperor's side almost at all times, would not know that if the Emperor moved, the invaders would immediately lose a bit of their power.

The reason why it was not launched was because the emperor had other concerns.

"So, what do you want to do?"

After a while, the emperor slowly spoke:

"Since you already know in advance that Pentagram will be successful, then you should choose to break into the palace at this time, not just for verification."

The atmosphere instantly tensed to a critical point.

The air seemed to be filled with explosives packets, which would explode in the next second.

The omen of danger kept rising, and Master Rice did not look at Master Antonio's movements, he stared at the Emperor closely, and the Emperor also looked back at him coldly.

Master Rice saw the murderous intent hidden in the Emperor's eyes.

He knew that the emperor had really touched the killing intent.

Master Rice felt a slight chill.

"A deal."

Master Rice said:

"We are completely divorced from the royal family, and the royal family will no longer pursue all the things that have been done before—and in return for the deal, we will tell you the second prophecy that the master made."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said firmly, "You won't be disappointed." ”

The emperor's eyes moved slightly.

……

Half a quarter of an hour later.

The old sword master returned to the emperor's dormitory, and Master Don Quixote had already returned one step ahead of schedule.

The door of the dormitory was open, the emperor sat in a chair, Saxon stood aside, and Master Don Quixote was casting a spell to test whether there was any difference between the emperor and the Saxon.

"Who's coming? Rice? "As soon as the old sword master saw it, he knew what was happening.

Saxon nodded at him, but the old swordmaster was not angry, and said steadily: "Yes, there will be no one else but him - unfortunately, they are too well arranged, and each of them has several people outside to answer him, and it seems that they have come out of the nest this time." ”

"Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, this time is not necessarily a bad thing." Saxon comforted.

During this time, he always spoke on behalf of the emperor for such things.

"That's right, the loopholes in Ulysses and the ban have been exposed, and they won't have another chance."

Rice and the others actually broke directly in front of the emperor, and naturally slapped the old swordmaster and Master Don Quixote in the face, Master Don Quixote had already scolded and vented, and the old swordmaster was completely silent, and asked in a deep voice:

"Rice didn't come for His Majesty, what did the old fox say?"

The faces of the emperor's ancestors and grandsons all became solemn.

"Now, I will no longer hide the two uncles, I hope you don't blame it."

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the Saxon, and the Saxon understood and recounted the whole process after the meeting of Master Rice.

"So, pentagram...... No, the five crowns are now, and now they have been successfully promoted?! ”

Even if he was as calm as an old sword master, he couldn't help but lose his voice when he heard the news.

"Yes. Although there is no news from the five crowns, judging from the star banner, they have been successfully promoted. Saxon affirmed, his face flushed with excitement.

The news was a huge shock to anyone, and Master Don Quixote was so excited that he paced back and forth, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and suddenly flew out of the dormitory with a thud, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a long whistling along the road.

Seeing this, the old sword saint's chest rose and fell for a while, but he calmed down, and said in a slightly trembling voice:

"God bless Merlin!"

He didn't know how much he had sacrificed for the Merlin royal family all his life, and he knew the seriousness of this matter, not only did he not blame the emperor for hiding them, but he agreed with the emperor's caution.

"His Majesty's decision was wise. Since Rice predicted the promotion of the pentagram in advance, they must have left a backhand, and if they are forced to the Jedi, they will definitely have no scruples and burn the jade. ”

The words of the old sword saint were right in the emperor's concerns.

"This time they retreated in a hurry, presumably there will be no more damage, but just in case, I have already sent people to the empress, the palace of the great prince and the mansions of the major important ministers."

"As for the Imperial Capital City, I'm afraid that the two uncles still need to discuss, in case they have any backhand left and have an impact on the Imperial Capital."

Of course, the old sword master will not refuse.

"And."

The Emperor pondered for a moment, "Although Rice they probably don't want to tear their faces with us and encourage those strong people who don't know yet. However, it's time to publicize the promotion of the five crowns. ”

The old sword sacred heart comprehends.

This matter was relatively tight, and the old Sword Saint hurriedly left the palace and returned to the Sword Saint Mountain.

"It's a pity, even if it's a few days late, when the five crowns are out of the customs, they won't be able to make any waves."

Saxon knew very well that the emperor and Lin An had already reached a tacit understanding, and had been appeasing Rice's group of archmages with the illusion of calm, just to regain them.

Because Lin An has made it clear that the legendary powerhouse will not make a move for such a thing.

With Lin An's own ability alone, she couldn't completely subdue Rice and the others - the reason why they took the initiative to surrender was mainly to get what they wanted from Lin An.

Lin An didn't mind Eli Yuren.

But there are no interests that are defended by absolute power, and they are interests that have no rules and are chaotic.

After Master Rice has been in contact with Lin An for a long time, he will understand that Lin An's powerful backers will not take action lightly without threatening her life.

In this way, Rice and the others could see their interests at any time and tear up the fragile balance.

This seemingly equal balance is even more unstable than the previous worship relationship between the royal family and Rice and others.

In order for Rice and others to understand who is the one who assigns the rules, they must first show absolute power.

If they don't comply, they will make an example of the monkeys and calm down the undercurrents that are about to move.

"This is different from the past, the promotion of the five crowns will completely stabilize the situation for us, and Rice they can no longer threaten us with their influence."

The power of more than a dozen archmages will not make the royal family fearful, and the previous rat trap, in the final analysis, is because of the influence possessed by Rice and others, which may cause great turmoil in the case of the arrival of the demonic calamity.

Now that the big trouble in his heart has been solved, coupled with the promotion of the pentagram, the emperor is not in a bad mood, even if the plan of Rice and others falls short, it does not make the emperor feel bad.

This is indeed the best news in recent times.

Saxon had a belated breakfast with the emperor and looked at the emperor's face.

“…… Grandfather, I want to go and see my mother. His handsome face pleaded.

"Not today, you'll go back in a few days."

The Emperor put down his white napkin.

He didn't expect the eldest princess to hide the matter from the Saxons for long, and if the Saxons didn't notice it at all, they would disappoint him.

After getting a hint of the emperor's softening attitude, the Saxons did not dare to gain an inch, and the emperor did not end the princess immediately after the ceremony, and had already shown mercy to his subordinates.

And the emperor said that he would let him go again in a few days, indicating that he would not do it at least in the near future.

The Saxons made up their minds to try harder, thinking that their mother was interceding.

But as soon as this decision was made, the courtiers came to report, and there was urgent news from the manor outside the city, and the eldest princess jumped into the lake with Odin's relics and died in love.
