“...... This is probably the case, in order to avoid suspicion, I can't leave the ghost place of the Heavenly Dome Palace from tomorrow until the official trial!"

In the garden restaurant in the summer twilight courtyard, Brandon, who was basking in the sun, said in a very lazy tone: "A month... Twenty-eight days to be exact, you must be able to produce enough evidence to convince Victor Hughes. ”

"Otherwise... In order to maintain the stability of the Imperial Cabinet and the House of Nobles, he has to make the most suspicious Master Lussac as a scapegoat!"

"Hmm. ”

Some of the distracted black-haired wizards just snorted and replied.

This result was not in his expectation at all—just as they had guessed at the beginning, even though Brandon had returned to Golovin, there were still fears that he would use the prestige of the Battle of Broken Border to confront Conod.

They are not believing that Brandon will succeed, or even the opposite, anyone with eyes understands that Brandon has no chance at the moment...... It had been more than five years since Conod had been crowned Prince of Sackland, and since three years ago he had served as commander at the Broken Mountain Fortress, and more than 10,000 men had sworn allegiance to him from two legions.

This is not a temporary conscription in the territory of the principalities, but an elite hoplite legion of the Sakrand Empire that has been stationed in the Broken Mountains for several years!

Status, Seniority, Age, Title...... In each case, Brandon is negative in comparison, and it doesn't look like he can succeed in any way.

However, Brandon is a dragon rider, Conod is not, and Brandon has the allegiance of a dragon, which Conod does not.

The dragon is the most powerful "weapon" of the Desarion family to deter the principalities and resist the invasion of monsters, and it is also a status symbol.

Mirasis is his biggest threat, and the empire will never be able to withstand a rebellion by a "dragon rider" prince, if you consider Brandon's character......

"Don't talk about these bad things, I heard that you went to Charn's house?"

The lazy Brandon suddenly spoke, the corners of his mouth full of curiosity: "How is it, have you gained anything?"

"No, not even the Count's face, but I guess he did it on purpose. With a self-deprecating chuckle, Loren shrugged, "Nothing but a high spell from the previous year sent me away." ”

Brandon didn't have a surprised look on his face: "That's for sure...... Siscott's death is related to the reputation of the Charn family, if anything is found out, you don't find a way to do it directly, you will be considered generous. ”

They've already done it...... Loren twitched the corners of his mouth, but didn't say it.

"Wait, which one is the High Spell you are talking about?!" Brandon's crimson pupils lit up suddenly.

The black-haired wizard frowned slightly, not knowing why he was so excited, and casually handed over the scroll: "It seems to be 'Spiritual Vision', a spell that can be used for reconnaissance and search, is there a problem?"

"Spiritual Horizon?!"

Brandon sat up directly in surprise and gasped: "How can the Charn family who slammed the door be so generous?!"

"The value of the High Spell is indeed immeasurable, but... You're not so surprised, are you?"

Loren's expression froze, and he was a little confused.

"You don't know?! That's right, you're only okay with spells and swordsmanship, and it's normal not to know the history of the Charn family. Brandon tilted his head with a flat mouth:

"Abridged and full version, do you want to hear that?"

"Excuse me, please make it easier to understand. The angry Loren rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, an illiterate person like me may not understand what you are saying!"

"Alas... If you're not happy, you're not happy, why are you angry?" Brandon shook his head as if helpless, and spoke before the black-haired wizard could raise the scroll and hit him:

"All in all! The Charn family has had many famous spellcasters and alchemists over the ages, and almost every generation has achieved quite a high level of achievement, but none of them can compare to this one in your hands... Don't hit me!"

"There's nothing like ......" Loren frowned, "Just this high-level spell?"

"I'm not a wizard, how can I understand this?" Brandon retorted as a matter of course, "Anyway, you just need to know that this thing is very precious, especially for the Charn family, who have always been picky." ”

"They're probably looking to show you favor...... Is there a more valuable gift for a spellcaster than a high-level spell?"

Brandon's expression was very happy: "It's a good omen, in other words, they don't bother to ask about it anymore - as long as you don't touch the bottom line of the Charn family." ”

"Of course, it may just be the meaning of the newly succeeded earl - after all, Charne is a big family, and it is normal for there to be different opinions within him, just like my beloved brother and I will never agree in this life. ”

Ignoring Brandon's last self-mockery, it took a long time for Loren to whisper: "Neither the Royal Justice nor the Charn family will interfere anymore, which means that the two biggest obstacles have been lifted?"

"Well, on the face of it—of course, you have to find enough evidence to prove Master Lussac's innocence, and his own dictation alone cannot be used as evidence, let alone let the Charn family come forward to testify. ”

Raising an eyebrow, Brandon put on a "I believe in you" smile:

"As long as you can find the bottle of the potion, or a witness who is willing to testify—a month for you, Loren... It shouldn't be a particularly difficult task, right?"

"Why can you say it so simply......"

The corners of the black-haired wizard's mouth twitched unnaturally, making the corners of Brandon's mouth a little deeper.

That being said, the situation is much better now than it was at the beginning...... There is no longer a need to think about secretly investigating privately, but with an open and honest reason, the scope of the search has suddenly expanded a lot.

Of course, if no evidence can be found in the end, or if there are enough people with the status to testify for Master Lussac, the result will be the same, and it will even make Brandon's position even more embarrassing.

From the original "hero of the Broken Mountain Fortress", he has changed back to the "disgraced prince" who caused trouble, which is simply ...... for him

Belch... Doesn't seem to have much to lose?

Looking at the black-haired wizard who was suddenly sitting there rolling his eyes at him, Brandon, who was a little inexplicable, blinked, shrugged and smiled at him.

Loren, who was a little weak, looked away, and suddenly vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone missing in the room, but he never noticed it.

"Where's Thran Corvo?"

"Master Lussac's son left last night. Brandon suddenly smiled mysteriously: "And it was picked up by a friend of yours." ”

"My friend?"

"Weber, the little priest who greeted us when we first arrived, took Thran Corvo to a nearby church. ”

Brandon seemed to smile casually, but there was calmness in his eyes: "That wizard apprentice was hit too badly and his mental condition was very bad, so Ain Rand and I agreed to let him recuperate for a while, and it was best not to go out again in the near future." ”

"And... While the Summer Twilight Courtyard is pretty good, with food and lodging at the royal level, it's full of eyes, ears and spies of all sides, and it's impossible to guard against it - I'm just in case, but if Thran Corvo doesn't bother to say something wrong, it could make your next move a lot of trouble. ”

"Weighing the pros and cons, letting him recuperate in the chapel might be the best option. ”

The black-haired wizard nodded, agreeing with Brandon's statement.

The most important thing is that he can also trust the little priest Webber - strong faith is not a bad thing many times, whether it is in Gumu Town or the Elves' Morning Star Forest, Webber has helped him as much as he can more than once.

And the other party's universal concept of "faith has nothing to do with identity" is indeed rare...... There are really not many priests that Loren trusts, the knight of the guard counts as one, and the little priest Weber is another.

"Where's that chapel?"

"It's just a street away from the Royal Wizarding Academy, right?" said Brandon, indifferently.

"You're going?"
