At the beginning of the morning, the east gate of Pompeii had not yet opened, and a long line of men and horses and vehicles had already formed in front of the gate.

Pompeii has a permanent population of more than one million, the city wall is more than 70 miles long, there are eight large and small city gates, each is divided into the front side, according to the different functions, respectively provide people and vehicles of different identities to enter, special and dedicated, even the opening time is not enough, there are strict laws and regulations.

Among them, the east and west gates are mainly used for commerce, and many caravans have arrived shortly after the gate was closed the night before, and have slept outside the city gate for a night.

"I don't know what's going on with this weather lately, it's almost the moon of flowing fire, and it's as cold as the moon of icebreaking, and people can't sleep at all in the first half of the night last night - hey, what the hell!"

The middle-aged man who spoke was wearing a thin shirt that exposed his arms, purple face, a thick muscle trained by heavy hard work, his clenched teeth trembled slightly, and he rubbed his hands and arms violently while talking loudly to divert attention.

"Who's to say it isn't!"

The middle-aged man's words attracted a chorus of echoes.

An aunt who looked like a maid held a basket and shouted complainingly:

"Obviously it was fine a few days ago, but our host's family is ordering us to wash and dry the summer sheets and curtains? Who knew that suddenly there was a hailstorm, and the good silk quilt was covered with rotten cloth! ”

"No, the wheat that has just been tasseled has also been broken!"

"In our village, too, the well-raised fish have turned their stomachs!"

Everyone felt a pity.

The merchant who was traveling alone next to him heard strangely, and couldn't help but join in, and said curiously: "Is the weather in the imperial capital abnormal recently?" I'm from the west side of Roddy City, and I haven't heard anything wrong! ”

"There's nothing wrong with the west, the abnormal weather seems to come from the foothills of Liuyun Mountain in the east." A thin-faced young man lowered his voice.

"The foothills of Liuyun Mountain? It won't be ...... That mountain, right?! ”

"Isn't that the mountain?" The thin-faced young man slapped his thigh.

"How do you know?" Some people were suspicious.

The thin-faced young man swallowed, hesitated, and finally opened the conversation under the urging of people.

"I have a brother who went into the mountains."

"What! How dare your brother run over there! That mountain is ...... How did your brother get in? ”

"He is from the nearby village, he went into the mountains to cut wood, but he went off the rails, and before he knew it, he went around to the foot of Liuyun Mountain," the thin-faced young man simply poured out, "What do you see?" ”

"What did he see? Say it! Say it! The crowd was curious.

The man hung his appetite and unravel the mystery without hurrying, "...... He saw the gods! ”

"Whew-what do you think it is?"

The crowd booed.

"I also know that the god of heaven can not only fly, but also glow all over his body, and fly away with a whoosh!"

As residents of the imperial capital, they are well-informed, and although they don't see big people flying around in the air every day, they have at least heard rumors, and as soon as they hear that person's words, they know that this is another rumor that treats trapeze as gods.

"Don't believe it!" The man was anxious, "Remember the thunderstorm the night before!" My brother saw with his own eyes that the god could fly in a thunderstorm! ”

"Exaggeration!" People will be skeptical.

No wonder they were suspicious, but it was true that all the people who had seen it with their own eyes remembered the thunderstorm the night before, and all of them had palpitations.

The thunderstorm lasted for half the night, dense as raindrops, and if what the thin-faced young man said was true, to be able to fly in such a terrifying thunderstorm would be almost like a real god in people's minds.

That night, a wildfire caused by a thunderstorm in the Liuyun Mountains almost lit up half of the sky, and if it weren't for the thunderstorm accompanied by a downpour that extinguished the wildfire, the disaster might have affected Pompey, dozens of miles away.

In the past two days, there have been sudden rainstorms from time to time, and there are a lot of ashes and dust, and many roofs and walls are dirty.

Due to the large scope of influence, this thunderstorm is also the most popular topic in the imperial capital recently, from nobles to commoners, no one has not discussed, some caravans from other places do not know about it, they have sounded, the topic is no longer around the previous center, slowly dispersed.

……

The seat of the Royal Arcane Order, the Tower of Amber.

"The legendary powerhouse deserves to be known as the god who walks on the land - when the god is angry, the color of the heavens and the earth changes ......"

Master Van Gogh who spoke, stood on the side of the high platform and looked in the direction of Sword Saint Mountain.

Standing on the Tower of Amber, he could still clearly sense the abnormal gathering of elements in that direction, and those mortals who did not understand the world of the transcendent could not imagine that the vision that they had been haunted by for several days was caused by the gathering of several legendary powerhouses when they were less than two magicians.

Master Kodiak paced back and forth.

"It's been three days, who can tell me what happened, why did those crowns come together? Those guys from the Court Mage Regiment, what the hell are they doing? ”

"Two days and eight magic hours and thirty-seven minutes, to be exact."

Master Kodiak's movements were so rapid that the robes rolled up in the air, causing an unusual sound of air movement. But his irritability did not affect the other two masters present, and Master Robinho corrected his mistake and said leisurely:

"The royal family's trust in the court mage group will always be before the secret mage group, but don't worry, we should know, we will know sooner or later."

He paused, and then said, "Intuition tells me that this matter has nothing to do with that Ann. Venerable Lynn has a close relationship. ”

"Anyone can see it!"

Master Kodiak shouted impatiently, "But as soon as that little girl entered the palace, she never showed her face again, if she was killed and abandoned by those shameless old things, how would I explain to Andre little ghost!" ”

This kind of out-of-tune remark was only ignored by the other two masters.

"Don't worry, Larry has already gone to the palace, according to the usual rules, the emperor will give a reasonable explanation to the secret law group within five days at the latest, if there is no accident, he should be able to bring back the exact news this time."

Master Van Gogh said calmly.

The corners of his mouth have deep nasolabial folds, which are strict and straight, so that people can confirm at first sight that this is an old mage who does not smile.

"Well, he's back."

A black dot quickly approached the central river island from the direction of Pompeii, and flew straight towards the Amber Tower.

The mages and apprentices in the residency looked up in amazement at what had happened, causing the master to return in such a hurry, despite the convention that he should not fly above a certain altitude above the station.

"What? Demon Invasion! ”

The three masters shook dramatically.

Soon after, the magic light balls on the top of the two tall main towers in the station turned from the usual green to orange-red, and with the huge energy fluctuations, the super large magic light shield gradually appeared.

"Hey, why did the barrier rise? Why can't we get out! One of the apprentices cried out in some alarm.

"Idiot! Haven't you experienced the previous crusade against the Holy Empire, and seen the magic orb? It has become a wartime alert state, and there should be another war! ”

"From now on, the station will restrict entry and exit, and you can't go out at will unless you are on a mission!"

The experienced elder mages shouted loud reassurance to maintain order.

There are also some people who wonder, "Where is the war?" ”

"Are you calling the mages to enlist again?"

At this moment, all the announcer birds perched on the trees of the Royal Mage Tower's residence flew up in unison, making a sharp and rapid chirp in the air.

This time, the mages who had been mentally prepared were no longer confused, and they rushed to the tower where the task was issued, and many prescient mages had already taken up their positions, only to see a line of eye-catching red letters on the public mission light screen:

[The Northern Army launches a counteroffensive and summons war mages!] 】

……

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

Walking out of the room a little tiredly, Lin An nodded slightly to everyone waiting for her, "The ceremony went very smoothly!" ”

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone exuded a feeling of relief and joy.

Her Majesty the Empress stood at the front, and the candidate for her left support had been replaced by Saxon, and the rest of them, intentionally or unintentionally, were at least half a step behind the first two.

Therefore, Lin An's gaze inevitably touched the Saxon one, and then looked away from each other.

There are no real secrets in the court.

Even before the results of the divine ceremony were determined, preparations were already underway for the ceremony of canonizing the emperor's grandson, and the emperor, the imperial family, and the ministers were all ready to do so, and if things went wrong, the ceremony of the canonization of the emperor's grandson might turn into an enthronement ceremony.

Therefore, the battle for succession that has been pending for several years has been decided, and it has been decided who will be the winner in the end.

Lin An came back from the dead, and as soon as he returned to people's sight, such a thing happened immediately, which made many ministers who didn't know the inside story secretly muttered in their hearts.

Even Byron and York, who were convinced that Lin An would never be on the side of Odin's son, looked at Lin An's gaze, and it was inevitably a little complicated.

But maybe the emperor is too powerful, or maybe it's because of the two big mountains of the old mountain lord and the master Don Quixote, in short, neither of them showed any tough rebellious attitude, although it was a little cold, but it was completely expected by everyone.

However, the Saxon's calm is more unexpected, especially in the eyes of Byron and Yorkiadan, who know a little bit of the inside story, his calmness is the same as Lin An's silence, and there is an unusual atmosphere in the weirdness.

Like a volcano in the making, the breath that erupts before the eruption makes people with a keen sense of smell suppress their restlessness and secretly try to find ways to get to know the inside story.

In fact, the inside story is not as complicated as others imagined, Lin An knows very well, the reason is just that the emperor summoned the Saxons the day before the life renewal ceremony and had a conversation with him.

Lin An sat in another secret room separated by a wall, and listened to the conversation from beginning to end.
