White Tower.

The crystal ball reflects the scene in front of the tower.

The young male mage with dark blonde hair was politely escorted out of the mage tower, and before boarding the carriage, he glanced back and smiled faintly, and the carriage slowly moved along the smooth road.

"Do you believe him, Cadillac?"

Not far from the crystal ball, a projection of a black-robed old man appeared in the darkness and asked in a deep voice.

"It's not a question of believe it or not."

Master Cadillac, who was engraved with this strong aristocratic temperament, turned around and said in a deep voice:

"In his words, it was already obvious that this was what the new Purple Rose Archmage wanted him to convey - man, the time has come to take sides!"

"She and the royal family will not allow the Principality of Magic to stay out of the matter."

……

In a forest hut, the flame in the closet is not extinguished, and in the middle of summer, it burns vigorously and breathlessly.

Suddenly, as if someone had thrown a large cloud of fire oil into the fire, the flames in the red brick closet rose from the ground, and a large cloud of sparks exploded.

Sparks flew into the air and formed a line of font:

[The news is confirmed to be true - precious.] 】

The three archmages in the hut who seemed to be resting with their eyes closed all saw the scene just now, and after a short silence, Master Larry said:

"They made a choice."

"Expected." Master Rice lifted his eyelids.

Originally, there were only three people in the wooden house, and after two magic hours, some of them arrived in person, some of them projected, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the wooden house one after another, which made the not spacious space seem cramped for a while.

But no one cares about that.

At their level, pomp and circumstance are no longer a necessity to prove their identity.

"The 'blood' prophecy matches the news obtained, and the news that the demons are about to invade is true nine times out of ten. The situation was terrible for us, and it was clear that we had chosen the most inopportune moment without knowing it. ”

Looking around, no one showed any attitude.

In fact, even if there is no news from both Lanster and Salin, with that prophecy, it is not difficult for the archmages to get the closest guess to the truth.

After all, the mage is the one who knows the rules and power levels of this world best.

The archmages present were all experienced and had experienced all kinds of scenes, not to mention that the situation in front of them was not critical, even if they really reached a desperate situation, they would not panic like ordinary people.

"Judging from the reaction from the Mage Tower's side, we don't have much chance of getting help from outside forces, and when the news of the demonic disaster spreads, old friends from the past will even become enemies outside."

"It's not bad yet."

In several projections, a female archmage speaks:

"I don't think it's very likely that the pentagram will attack us - mages are not warriors, and excessive repression will lead to the rejection of the mage group, and the ruler's political skills will not work with us."

"Eucalyptus is right."

Master Robinho said in a deep voice:

"In the final analysis, there is no deep hatred between us and the Merlin royal family, and because of our previous caution, only each other knows the specific inside story of what happened between us and the royal family."

Master Rice nodded, "Normally, it shouldn't be possible for the Emperor to choose to burn with us at this time. ”

The archmages present all understood.

Due to the defection of the two crucial court archmages, the true physical condition of the emperor has long been no secret to them.

Although not as accurate as Lin An, according to Rice's estimate, it is unlikely that the emperor will survive for half a year.

"Have you noticed a problem?"

Master Felfa suddenly spoke, his face a little strange:

"The process of getting the news of the Demonic Calamity seems to be too easy - especially on the Mage Tower's side, since they have chosen a side, but they have informed the news, isn't that implying something?"

"You mean, the royal family, or the female mage, is talking to us indirectly?" There is no shortage of perceptive people among the archmages.

"Not impossible." Master Rice groaned slightly.

He was one of the people present who knew Lin An's style better.

"Purpose?"

"Maybe it's trying to stabilize us, or maybe it's going a step further, a signal of goodwill?"

A group of archmages fell silent.

In the final analysis, they didn't have much of an opinion on Lin An, the new archmage, and it was their choice to break out at that time, and it had nothing to do with Lin An.

Although it is said that if Lin An had informed the news of the demon disaster earlier, it would not have become the current situation, but the archmages are very sensible, and if they are in Lin An's position, they will also strictly guard against the news of the demon disaster with her.

Just like after they learned the truth now, whether it was out of fear of the legendary power of the higher echelons or their natural position as a human race, they could only choose to keep it a secret, and did not dare to make decisions that destroyed the overall situation for their own interests.

In terms of Lin An's age, she is already extremely good.

Especially after learning the inside story, looking back on what Lin An did every step after his return, their group of seniors felt deeply pressured.

She used Saleen's words to the Mage Tower to curb the assistance from the Mage Tower, so that the Magic Principality had to take sides, and the Mage Tower's actions would become a reference object for other archmages.

It's been less than seven days since they defected to the royal family, and she's already minimized their influence.

Even if Lin An does not have a legendary powerhouse to rely on behind her, nor does she have the full support of the emperor, her personal ability and influence have been fully demonstrated, so that they dare not ignore it.

Of course, that doesn't mean they regret it.

Breaking into the palace was a decision they made unanimously after learning of the prophecy, and at their level, they never wanted their life and death to be decided by others, even if the decider was a legend.

However, if Lin An sent a signal of goodwill to them......

"Guys, looks like we're going to have to find a chance to talk to her."

Looking around at his companions, Master Rice said:

"Of course, we can't break off the contact with Perret."

……

Amber Tower.

“…… Well, then, it is decided, Master—when you arrive in Perret, I will be met by my men. ”

Rice's projection disappeared in front of him, and his long, white and slender fingers brushed the smooth surface of the crystal ball, and after a faint hazy mist, the emperor's face appeared in the crystal ball.

Black corners were peeking out next to him, and the Saxon was beside the emperor.

"And they agreed."

This was Lin An's first sentence.

"It's just a preliminary verbal promise,"

This is the second sentence.

"I think it's a matter of time before they make up their minds."

This is the third sentence.

"That's a shame." The emperor said regretfully.

"--Grandfather, Father!" This is the voice of the Saxons holding back their anger.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that you can't keep them until His Highness the Saxon succeeds to the throne and becomes a sacrifice for His Highness to deter and consolidate his rule!" Lin An was faint.

Don't look at her so calm, when she learned that the emperor had this thought, Lin An almost didn't go crazy-

"You are so worried about His Highness Saxon, you think that he must not be able to sit in a stable position, and you even have to help him arrange this kind of thing in advance?!"

Lin An ran out of the palace and ran to the Amber Tower, and then the Saxons, who were later informed, had to withdraw from mourning for their deceased mother and return to the palace.

"The five crowns are in charge, if in such a situation, I still can't sit on the throne, it's better to abdicate and let Xian!" For the sake of his own face, the Saxon gambled fiercely.

The emperor had no choice but to give up at their insistence.

Lin An didn't know whether the emperor really had this idea or if he was looking for an excuse to call the Saxons back.

The monstrous monster represented by the imperial power had now hidden its fangs in front of her, but Lin An could not forget the ruthlessness and cruelty in its true nature.

With the lives of a dozen archmages as the most solid foundation for laying the Saxon throne, the emperor may not be able to do this kind of thing.

But Lin An's thinking was completely different from that of the emperor.

The pressure on her body was so great that she spared any strength of the human race, not to mention that according to her habits, the stones had to be squeezed out of oil, not to mention the forces of Rice that could not be ignored.

Mages are the most rational and know what they need, after the successful promotion of the pentagram, everyone focuses on the pentagram secret method, and then there is the pressure of the legendary powerhouse, as long as Lin An moves his mouth, those masters will automatically make a choice.

Lin An knew very well that the political tricks of ruling nobles and commoners would not work among mages.

This is a group of true liberals, unfree rather than dead – the more repression, the more rebellious.

The power of legends can deter them for a while, but it cannot make them obey and forbid.

“…… Rice and the others also understand their situation, and this is their last chance. ”

"What's more, there's no better time than now - Perret and the Holy Empire are reeling from the pentagram's promotion, and seventeen archmages have come to the door, and Emperor Jupiter believes it or not, he must be waiting."

Lin An said to the emperor in the crystal ball:

"No matter how much you prepare now, it's only limited to Merlin, do you really want to wait for the defeat of the two countries, and let Merlin face the demons alone and be the last barrier of the human race?"

The key is that reaching out to the other two countries has long been in the Lin An plan, even if there is no such thing, according to the plan, the next step should be launched.

Although Lin An and the Guardians chose Merlin, they didn't think that Merlin could fight the demons alone.

But the original plan was far from being as good as it is now - the seventeen archmages, if necessary, could even control Dandong and force Emperor Pere and the nobles to obey.

The premise is -

"Rice, will they be obedient?" The Emperor asked rhetorically.

"I can't think of a reason why they don't follow the big picture for a while."

Lin An was very calm, she had already considered this question:

"If they can really speed up Perret's cooperation and make a big enough contribution, it doesn't matter if the secret method is given to them."

Lin An understands that the emperor never wants a new legend who has a discordant relationship with the Merlin royal family, the question is-

"Even if I don't give it, will the other crowns ignore their merits? - If you want donkeys to work, you have to feed them! ”
