Chapter 125: Revisiting the Palace (2-in-1)
I know. ]^kanshuge,com*look\^book*pavilion*"
Helen received Chongyang's gift, remembered his words, and understood his heart.
"I'll cherish it......" she held the box tightly, as if holding the rarest treasure in the world.
Chongyang felt relieved and satisfied.
"Didn't find out...... It's my fault that I don't care enough about you...... ...... later"
"Don't say it again, you need to apologize for something, you don't need it at all. Helen shook her head, her eyes full of tender pity.
I know your hard work, so I will never blame you for anything, let alone ask for anything.
Chongyang understood the meaning conveyed by his eyes, and his heart was wrapped in warmth.
Nothing needs to be said again.
The two stared at each other, and before they knew it, their faces getting closer and closer.
"Ahem!"
Ignored so far, the princess just went right here and there with a dry cough interrupted.
Chongyang God. Blushing and helpless. Helen awakened. Blushing and resentful. Hate glared at his friend.
Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess is here. Easily ignored Helen's feeble eyes. His demeanor is like that of some kind of uninteresting old man.
"Young people now......"
"Your Highness!" cried Helen with a blushing face. There was a bustle when I pounced on it.
Chongyang was a little embarrassed to see the two beauties entangled and playing, so he had to watch his nose and nose and watch his heart and drink tea quietly, and wait until they were done.
"Chongyang @ Bright, you did it with some care. ”
After suppressing Helen in turn, Her Royal Highness suddenly turned her head and said to the black-haired youth.
"Huh?" Chongyang was slightly stunned.
"But being attentive for a while is not the same thing as being attentive all the time. The princess said coldly and sharply, "In the future, can you keep your mind on it? Can you avoid the mistakes that men make?"
A stern question that goes straight to the hearts of the people.
Chongyang was silent for a while.
"Honestly, I can't guarantee it. Facing the exact same look and very different eyes, he confessed with a little bitterness, "But I will try...... Will be attentive...... Will do everything ......"
"Don't say any more!" Helen called out again, her tone was serious, and then turned to the imperial princess in front of her, "Your Highness! Don't ask again! Don't keep talking about the future! I don't want to listen to the future!"
The little woman, who has always been quiet and gentle, rarely broke out arrogantly. Seeing this majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess pursed her lips.
Helen felt frightened as soon as she spoke, who was the other party?
But to Helen's surprise, the princess not only did not refute, did not toss and quietly loosened the suppression, and her face softened slightly.
"Your Highness......"
"Don't call me Your Highness, or I'll keep talking. The princess threatened.
Helen hurriedly changed her words.
This scene made Chongyang speechless. However, he was very happy to see that Her Royal Highness really regarded Helen as a close friend.
Feelings over friends...... Leave it at that. In short, it is precisely because Her Royal Highness the Princess cherishes and values Helen for Helen's sake that she will question and reprimand him, so that he can wake up and reflect and make a little compensation in time.
Regardless of the princess's motives, in terms of results, Chongyang felt that she should be thanked. But, thinking about it, she is not uncommon with her own gratitude.
So Chongyang just smiled implicitly at Her Royal Highness the princess, and the princess rolled her eyes widely.
I'll keep an eye on you, boy.
Through the eyes of the princess, Chongyang seemed to be able to hear such a demonstration.
A wonderful triangle.
Carefully sort it out, for Chongyang, Her Royal Highness the princess is an obstacle (rival in love?), and at the same time, she is also a friend of Helen, the object of her pursuit. For Helen, Yang is a lover (in preparation) and a princess is a friend (not a lover). In the end, for Princess Lun is a friend (lover?), Chongyang is a friend (lover?) and a preparatory lover (lover?).
What is this relationship? God knows.
It is difficult for onlookers to figure out the three people in the game, and they are even more ignorant. So, for a while, they tacitly avoided emotional problems and looked for other topics to talk to.
"Chongyang @ Bright, you've been targeted lately. The princess opened the scene with a seemingly hasty remark as usual.
"By whom?" Chongyang became vigilant, and all kinds of possibilities flashed through his mind. Helen next to her also looked worried when she heard this.
"You don't need to keep your face up, and being targeted can also divide bad things from good things. The princess shook her teacup and motioned for Helenga tea.
Chongyang was puzzled: "Please make it clear to the princess." ”
"Can't you think of it? Aren't you going to talk about Professor Andre of Prisland yourself?"
"Professor, I did visit Professor Andre, but only for personal matters......"
"That's when he appreciates you, huh, lucky magician. The princess put on an old man-like shelf and drank tea slowly, enjoying the feeling of being high in front of Chongyang.
"What did he do?" Chongyang believed that the old man would not be unfavorable to him. \*kanshugecom^\ reading the book ^ge* and listening to the tone of the princess, I am even more sure that the old professor has secretly done something for himself, and he does not know.
"It's nothing, it's just that the powerhouses of the entire imperial fire magic world will vouch for you and support you outside the arena. ”
Poof!
Chongyang sprayed, choked violently by milk tea, and coughed violently for a while.
"Sorry, Helen......"
"It doesn't matter. Helen hurriedly took out a rag to wipe the stain.
"Her Royal Highness the princess just said......" Chongyang looked surprised and confused, facing the imperial princess.
As the princess explained lightly and unhurriedly, Chongyang learned that Old Professor Andre, who had been studying magic for many years and lived in seclusion in the Presland Academy, was actually a veteran-level figure in the fire magic world of the Wren Empire!
Many of the current high-level fire magicians are his disciples and grandchildren, and many famous wizards are his former friends. After he had been in secrecy for many years, he suddenly came out to visit relatives and friends, which really shocked many people and shook the entire imperial fire magic world.
And the reason why the old professor suddenly came forward to speak during this conference was to revive the imperial fire magic world. More precisely, for one person, a young and promising fire magician......
......
After Chongyang knew all this, he was stunned.
The old professor with an unkempt beard, the old man who had met him no more than one palm, did not hesitate to walk out of the research room and show his face to win protection and support outside the arena for himself!
What appreciation, what high hopes.
"Professor......" Chongyang's mind flashed with the scenes of meeting and talking with Professor Andre, and his shoulders unconsciously became heavy.
His eyes moistened, as if he could see the old man running around the imperial capital, meeting and talking with friends or students he hadn't been in touch with for a long time, trying to convince the other party to believe in himself, in an insignificant and insignificant person he believed in.
Just imagining that process, putting yourself in the position of the old man almost brings me to tears.
Thanks? That's too pale.
The high hopes of the professor, as well as the high hopes of the many fire magicians who believed in the professor and thus in themselves, made Chongyang feel a lot of emotion. He couldn't help but think of the day when he received the Scepter of Glory from Dander and Daniel in the Jucarus School.
“...... Your glory will shine on us as well. ”
The glory of the fire system!
The old Dande school leader, the young Daniel wasted Renault...... Beside the many of the Jucarus disciples, there stood Professor Andre, and more magicians in red robes who didn't know their names.
They smile, watch, expect, look deeply at a person.
Chongyang clenched his fists, his eyes were hot, his chest rose and fell, and his body trembled slightly.
The blood in my heart is surging, and the fire is monstrous.
will win.
It will definitely ...... Win for you!
......
............
"Chongyang, are you alright?" Helen asked worriedly when she saw that the man was in a bad state.
"It's okay...... Chongyang finally calmed down and smiled slightly, "I just feel like I ...... Too lucky. ”
Incomparably the only person they were looking forward to. At the same time, it also bears an incomparably heavy burden.
Won't fail and can't fail.
Chongyang's eyes were firm and imposing.
The princess watched silently as the black-haired youth reacted, her thoughts swirling.
She had to admit that if she put aside the factors related to Helen and simply objectively look at the man Chongyang @Bright from the perspective of a magician, she would appreciate him to some extent.
Calm and resolute, hard focused, fearless, courageous.
With due protection and proper support, you may really be able to achieve something extraordinary.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me this news. Otherwise, I didn't know that I had received such a great favor from the professor. Chongyang said sincerely.
"Just talk about it. As long as you keep winning, sooner or later they will send someone to contact you, and then you will know everything, I will just say it in advance. As Chongyang thought, the princess of the empire was not uncommon with his gratitude.
Chongyang didn't say much, lowered his head and drank tea again.
The princess stared at him for a moment.
"You don't have the proper sources right now. As a contestant, a lack of intelligence is a disadvantage. ”
"I watched the whole game. ”
"It's a big mistake to think that's enough, no matter how observant you are, there's only so much you can see in a short game. ”
"That can't be helped, I have no power, no power, no background, no intelligence support. Even if you want to inquire about your opponent's information, you don't know how to do it, and you don't have the time. Chongyang smiled bitterly.
Finding out the in-depth information of a specific target is not an easy task. Chongyang is surrounded by two brothers, Luo Yang and Gaiasis, one is a housekeeper and the other is a nanny. As for the seven disciples of Jocaros, who had befriended him, although he could ask them to inquire about some news, he could only get a very superficial picture of it, which was of little help.
Intelligence, from the initial collection, to the summary, the post-analysis, the collation, the synthesis to the final report, every step is a relatively professional technical work, far from being as simple as ordinary people imagine.
Only powerful organizations with deep accumulation will have their own intelligence networks and be able to quickly and efficiently detect target information. Among them, the specialized database, professionals, action models, etc. are very complex, and it takes a long time to build up.
Superiority in intelligence and information can sometimes play a decisive role, ranging from a clash of forces to a personal duel. For example, when two magicians are fighting on the field, one only knows the approximate level of the other party, while the other clearly knows what magic the other party will use, what magic tactics they are used to, etc. Then there will be almost no suspense between the two sides.
If he could, Chongyang would also like to know more information about the players, but he didn't know where to start.
To be reluctant, asking Elder Richard for help was an option. However, Elder Richard's intelligence network is the intelligence network of the Magic Association, and now it is estimated that he is spending all his strength on listening to the opponents of the Magic Association players, where is there room to help an outsider?
Fundamentally, Chongyang felt that now was not the time to pursue intelligence, so he didn't have that mind for the time being.
However, the princess listened to his helpless words and spit out lightly: "In this case, I will give you information." ”
"Huh?"
"It's a small investment in you. The princess drank tea as she spoke, masking the expression on her face, "...... Come to the palace tomorrow. ”
"What ......" Chongyang abruptly received the invitation, a little stunned.
"Didn't you hear clearly?" the princess raised her eyebrows sharply, and there was a hint of madness in her tone.
Chongyang had no choice but to respond.
After that, Her Royal Highness became silent. After chatting with Helen for a while, Chongyang saw that the night was getting late, so he politely retired.
When Helen sent him out, the princess suddenly raised her hand and threw out a small golden object and smashed it into Chongyang's arms.
"With it, you can enter the palace. The princess said in a cold voice.
Chongyang inspected the royal tokens in his hand and solemnly put them away.
After he left, Lun returned to the hall with a smile and threw himself beside Her Royal Highness the princess with a straight face.
"Rose, thank you for your willingness to help Chongyang. ”
"It's just an investment, so many people are betting on him, I'm just adding a fraction. ”
"Don't be shy, Rose is really happy to think about Chongyang. ”
"Who's thinking about him!?disgusting!" The princess looked full of goosebumps, trying to push Helen away and being sweetly and greasy by Helen.
“...... Really, if I give you a birthday present, you don't give him a little favor but a little favor, and you call him such a sweet-mouthed woman. The princess couldn't push Helen away, and muttered disgruntle.
"I'm very happy that Rose gave me a gift, and I'm even happier that Rose can be friendly to Chongyang, because both of you are very important people to me. Helen said softly.
"Want to step on two boats? ”
"Who is stepping on two boats, you should give up that joke!" Helen was teased by the princess.
"No kidding, I've now begun to amend the laws of the Empire to pave the way for me to marry you as my first concubine. ”
"Stop! Don't desecrate the Imperial Code for such a thing, Your Highness!"
......
The next day, Chongyang went to the palace as promised.
Since the last time I was invited to Her Royal Highness the Princess's birthday party, I have visited the highest center of power in the empire for the first time. He rode in a carriage and entered smoothly with the royal token given by the princess, and with the guide, he arrived at the door of another luxurious palace that was different from the last time.
Chongyang observed this hall and felt that compared with the one he visited last time, it was a little less exquisite and a little more atmospheric. Its name is engraved in Cangjin font above the front of the palace door, but unfortunately Chongyang, who knows very little about the palace and land, does not know what this name means.
The palace maid came out to greet Chongyang
Inside, after one heavy garrison after another, out of the corridor arch, Lang.
Gardens!
Chongyang found himself traversing the entire hall and coming to the huge courtyard behind the huge building, where he saw the lush open green meadows, the large flowers competing for beauty, and the towering trees arranged in a regular manner.
On the grass is a delicate and shady pavilion, and on the left side of the pavilion is a huge pond, on the edge of which there are several boys and girls playing lively, and the sound of cheerful laughter can be heard from afar.
Her Royal Highness was in the pavilion near the pond, surrounded by a man and a woman.
Chongyang approached the pavilion under the guidance of the maid, and then the maid retired, leaving him to stand alone outside the pavilion, bearing the sharp gaze of the guards around him.
Chongyang saw that in the pavilion, his majesty turned his back to him, talking to the woman in a fine purple robe in front of him. The man in the blue and white plain robe next to him was slender and extraordinary, with a pair of sharp eyebrows on his face, but his eyes were relatively gentle, and the corners of his mouth kept a faint smile.
Soon a child playing in the pond ran into the pavilion and tugged at the sleeve of the woman in the purple robe and chattered something. Then the woman smiled at the princess and the man, and went out of the pavilion with the excited child, towards the edge of the pond.
The princess turned around and wore a golden red skirt and robe, and looked back at her, showing a heroic demeanor.
"Chongyang @ Bright, you can come in"
Chongyang Yan walked into the pavilion and greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess. The man in the blue and white robe looked at him with interest.
"This is my eldest brother, Rollie @ Wren. The princess waved her hand and introduced.
The eldest brother, the eldest prince, the first prince, that is, His Royal Highness the Imperial Crown Prince!
Chongyang had previously made a rough inference from the other party's appearance and age, so he was not surprised when he heard the introduction at this time, and saluted him calmly.
With a faint smile similar to that of Lawrence, His Royal Highness Rowled paid attention to Chongyang's every move, especially Chongyang's eyes, as if he wanted to see his heart through Chongyang's single eye.
Chongyang was a little nervous, although the future emperor did not have much majesty, but the slightest attention gave people an indescribable pressure.
He saluted and counted His Highness the Crown Prince, but there was no response, just staring at him fixedly.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the edge of the pond!
A child accidentally falls into a pool and screams in panic for everyone's attention.
Chongyang also turned his head to look, and the next second, he saw the palace guards who heard the sound use magic to save the child. The woman in the purple robe took the child into her arms and soothed her softly.
There is no danger.
Chongyang turned around, only to see that the crown prince Roled on the opposite side suddenly stretched out a hand, patted his shoulder lightly, and then stepped forward, passing by himself and walking outside the pavilion.
From beginning to end, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not say a word to Chongyang.
However, Her Royal Highness the princess stared at Chongyang with a pair of beautiful eyes, and when Chongyang felt furious in his heart, he said hatefully: "You are really the son of the goddess of luck." ”
Chongyang is unknown, so he is confused.
The princess snorted, and also walked towards Chongyang, passing by Chongyang, and walking outside the pavilion.
Chongyang turned around and wanted to follow, but saw that the princess was walking very fast, and after a while, she walked five or six meters, and then with a wave of her hand, she summoned a few palace guards with straight faces to stop her.
"What's ......" Chongyang was blocked by the guards, and could only watch Her Royal Highness the princess walk away, and her graceful shadow disappeared in the direction of the palace.
What kind of play did you play?
Chongyang stood in place, staring at the guards with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere was very weird.
After a few moments, he tried to move his feet, and he saw the guards raise their staffs in unison!
Try again, the staff is raised, then retracted, and the staff falls...... Repeat this several times.
Chongyang wondered, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, he clasped his hands, thought for a while, and suddenly stepped out of his right foot!
The guards hula raised their staffs, but then they saw that the black-haired young man was dancing rhythmically in place with his right and left feet!
Look at each other. Guards, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to react to this situation.
If you don't let me go, then I'll jump, it's okay, right?
As a result, an even more bizarre picture was formed: the black-haired youth danced on the spot, while the guards held their staffs and looked stunned, a little at a loss.
Seeing that no one was stopping him, Chongyang became more and more energetic, so he simply practiced all the dance steps he had learned and the basic steps of magic evasion, which attracted the palace maids, attendants, and guards on the scene to look sideways, and finally even attracted the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the pond.
"Father, that person is dancing~~It's fun~~" The youngest girl pointed to the black-haired young man and said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince, who had always been calm and elegant, was slightly stunned by Chongyang's rapid and complex steps.
"Ryder?" the purple-robed woman whispered.
“...... What an interesting person. The prince withdrew his gaze and smiled.
Chongyang was half depressed, half venting and repeating the steps of the drill, silently showing his confusion and dissatisfaction with being detained here, until a young man in a dark green robe walked in the direction of the hall.
The young man had short scarlet hair, a scar on his left eyebrow, and a slightly pale face. The style of the robe is similar to that of the palace guards, but there are obvious differences, and the sky-like wand and magic array badge on the left chest is particularly eye-catching.
"Chongyang @ Mr. Bright?"
The young magician walked up to Chongyang, who was constantly dancing, and asked tentatively with a curious and puzzled look.
"I am. Chongyang ended this round of pace with a quick turnaround.
"Uh...... May I introduce myself, I am Caesar @ Ciris, a non-commissioned officer of the Thirteenth Brigade of the Royal Knights. ”
Royal Knights?
Chongyang looked at the celestial emblem on the other party's left chest, and recognized it as the coat of arms of the Royal Knights.
"Lord Caesar......"
"No, please don't call me that, I'm just a non-commissioned officer. Besides, from now on, I am your subordinate. The young man named Caesar smiled respectfully with a pale face, which involved a bit of unnatural meaning, and seemed unaccustomed to such expressions.
"Subordinate?" Chongyang was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, I can handle the intelligence side of things for you. If you want to investigate any person, organization, or force, you can leave it to me. Depending on your request, I will use the corresponding intelligence network to collect, analyze, and summarize the information and give back a detailed and specific report. ”
Caesar said with a somewhat reluctant respectful smile.
"To put it simply, I will be your direct intelligence officer, Lord Chongyang. "To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to qidiancom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
