"Oh, Landawaye is assassinated?"

Alfred bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Bishop, it seems that a magic archer did it, a long distance, but it shot very accurately, and if it were not for the princess who seemed to instinctively deflect her body when the arrow came, I am afraid that she would have died on the spot." ””

"My lord, there is a man who claims to be the military councillor of Landovelle who wants to see you. The voice of the herald came from outside the door.

Luo Lan thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Let him come in, try not to attract too many people's attention." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

After a while, two voices appeared outside the tent, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, an elderly military councillor stepped in, he glanced at Luo Lan, who was sitting in the middle, and immediately stepped forward a few steps and bent down to salute, saying: "Ruhr, the military councillor of the Third Cavalry Regiment of the Easton Empire, has seen Lord Landiston. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, you don't know what you want to see me?"

The military councillor lowered his head and said very depressedly: "As you can see, our Royal Highness the eldest princess of the Easton Empire has just been assassinated, and her injuries are very serious. He raised his head and said, "Our medical officer and mage are helpless against such a heavy injury, but we all know that only the healing spell of the Holy See of Light can save the life of our princess, and here, there is no doubt that only the healing technique of the Lord Bishop is the most skillful." ”

"You want me to do it?"

"Your Excellency, it is a request, and I beg your mercy. "The military councillor tried to make himself look humble and sincere.

A very meaningful smile appeared on Luo Lan's face, and he said in a deep voice: "If I make a move, the price will not be small. ”

"Our Royal Highness the princess said that as long as you are willing to help, as long as she is within the scope of her ability, she can agree. ”

There were more than a dozen sergeant majors and maids standing in the tent, they turned their heads, and their eyes fell on Luo Lan's body, but just a glance, they all lowered their heads involuntarily, that was because they felt an indescribable pressure from this bishop's body, as if the sky was as vast as the sky, and as dazzling as the scorching sun, making it difficult for them to look directly, they wondered where this feeling came from, but before they could figure out the reason, they unconsciously let go of a way, revealing the figure lying on the soft collapse behind them。

Landawaye was covered with a blanket, her face was pale, and from time to time a waitress came up to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, it seemed that she was in pain, but she did not make any sound, she fought on the battlefield all year round, she not only exercised a good physique, but also honed an extraordinary will, until this moment she was still conscious and vigorous, but if her injuries were not treated again, this situation did not seem to last long.

"Your Excellency, forgive me for being rude. Landovelle said weakly on the floor.

Luo Lan didn't speak, just raised his hand and waved it gently, a faint white light shrouded Lan Daweier's body, and a faint holy song seemed to sound in the sky, and the stardust fell one after another, flashing for a while before slowly fading.

In fact, most of the people in the camp were on guard against him, and they had already decided that as long as this person did anything unfavorable to Her Royal Highness the Princess, then even if the other party was the bishop of the Holy See, they would rush up and kill him on the spot.

However, when Luo Lan made this action very casually, no one had any inappropriate thoughts in their hearts, as if it was a natural thing.

After the white light slowly dissipated, Landovelle perked up and her face was ruddy and bloody.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, ...... you" The military councillor separated a few maids who stopped in front of him and came to his niece, his eyes full of surprise and excitement.

Landovier hurriedly explained, "Uncle, my injuries are not healed yet. She had just felt a surge of vitality in her body, and if it weren't for the arrow still stuck in her chest, she would have almost thought she had recovered.

Luo Lan stood there and said expressionlessly: "I'm just letting Her Royal Highness the princess's body improve a little bit, so that she has enough physical strength and is far from being treated." ”

Landovelle struggled to her feet and exclaimed, "Your Excellency, as long as you can get me back, once I ascend the throne, I will agree with the Holy See to spread the glory of God in the Empire."

Luo Lan was not swayed by this little language trap in the slightest, he smiled and said, "I don't like unrealistic things. ”

"That'...... What do you mean ......"

Luo Lan raised his head and said indifferently: "Your Royal Highness Princess only needs to ensure that the glory of the Lord can be spread wherever you can control, I can guarantee that your life will not be taken away." ”

Landovier thought about it seriously, nodded cautiously, and said, "Okay, I promise"

Luo Lan stared into Landovia's eyes, and after looking at it quietly for a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "I hope you can keep your promise." He did not ask the other party to swear or make any hostage demands, much to the surprise of Landovelle, who was still ready to talk about it.

Luo Lan stood there, didn't step forward, just stretched out his hand to Landovier.

Landovelle was shocked, she suddenly felt that the arrow in her body was slowly being pushed out of the wound without anyone driving her, and she didn't feel the slightest pain?

Everyone in the tent ......, including Landovie herself, stared at the magical scene with wide eyes.

Slowly, the arrow finally emerged completely from her body under the nervous and breathless gazes of everyone in the camp, and then the tail of the arrow swung and fell to the ground with a "click" as if it had lost its strength to support it.

Landuvier's body shook, and immediately an attendant went up to support her, but was pushed away by the former, and then stood on her own.

The military councillor couldn't help but take a step forward and asked anxiously, "Your Royal Highness Princess, how are you feeling?" ”

Landovelle tried to breathe a few times, she touched the wound, and said in surprise, "It's actually healing?"

The place that was originally pierced by the arrow is now smooth muscles and skin to the touch, and there is no pain at all. If it weren't for the still-faint feeling of weakness in her body, and the remaining traces of blood, she almost thought that everything she had just done was just a nightmare.

The chief military officer breathed a long sigh of relief, he turned to salute Luo Lan, thanked him very gratefully, and said, "Thank you, Lord Bishop, for your help, thank you so much."

Luo Lan said nonchalantly: "It's just a condition in exchange, you don't have to thank me." ”

Landovelle looked at Luo Lan and said solemnly: "Lord Bishop, although I am a woman, I will not break what I said before, my promise is valid. ”

Luo Lan stood there without speaking.

Landovelle's eyes flashed, she waved her hand, and said, "Except for the Ruhr military council, everyone else should step aside." ”

After the group had retreated, Landovelle stretched out her hand and said, "Your Excellency, please take a seat, the Ruhr military councillor is my uncle, please speak directly if you have anything to say." ”

Luo Lan nodded slightly, and after the two of them sat down on the seats prepared by the waitress, he said slowly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, who do you think will be assassinating you this time?"

"It must have been instructed by my imperial brother to do it. Landuvelle said with certainty: "I learned the news of my father's serious illness earlier than he did, and whoever returns to the imperial capital first may ascend to the throne first, and he must have thought that he could not catch up with me, so he sent someone to assassinate me." ”

Luo Lan pursed his lips and shook his head, "I just think that your brother hasn't left the border yet, and he hasn't even left. ”

"What? how is this possible?" Landovie was a little distracted, and stood up.

"The people led by His Highness Landuvelle are all cavalry, no matter how fast those people are, they will still get orders from your brother to ambush here after learning the news, it will take a very long time here, and you have only been on the road for a few days?

"This ...... You say these people are not my royal brother's men?" came to think of it, but Landovelle only thought of this reason.

Luo Lan shook his head and said, "No, he is the most likely, but these manpower is likely to have been arranged a long time ago, maybe he has been monitoring your every move and giving an order, as long as you lead the legion out of the border, he will immediately intercept and kill you." ”

Landovelle nodded and said, "This truth makes sense, and it is very probable. She sneered and said, "My imperial brother really attaches great importance to me, the imperial sister." ”

"Not only that, but even the news of your father's serious illness may be a false news that he deliberately spread. Luo Lan continued to throw out astonishing inferences.

"What?" exclaimed Landovelle.

The military councillor was also stunned, but he disagreed with this statement, he said in a deep voice: "If this news is fake, then there is no need for Monpheis to be in such a hurry to send someone to assassinate Her Royal Highness the princess, you may not know the harshness of His Majesty the Emperor, as long as he goes against his will a little, he will be deprived of his life, in other words, if this news is false, as long as Her Royal Highness the princess leads the troops back to the imperial capital, this is a dead end in itself, isn't the assassination an extra move?"

Luo Lan shook his head and said, "In fact, the most successful fake news is half-truths and half-truths. Her Royal Highness the Princess's father's serious illness may be true, but the situation may not be as serious as imagined, the reason why you got the news in advance, it is likely that someone deliberately leaked it, the purpose is to kill you when you return to the capital, even if you don't die this time, on the way back to the imperial capital, there will definitely be some other unexpected dangers, even if you finally arrive safely, according to His Excellency the Military Council, at most there is only half a chance of surviving, because you mobilized the legion without authorization, although this plan is not too clever, but it is better to have the initiative, and Your Royal Highness the princess You are completely passive。 ”

"What then?" said Landovelle, who was already in a cold sweat on her back, and if the Lord Bishop was right, she had already stepped into a trap and was in a dilemma.

Luo Lan didn't answer her words directly, but smiled deeply and said, "So today's assassination, in fact, is not a bad thing. ”

Both the military councillor and Landovelle were surprised, and the latter couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Bishop say that?" ”

Luo Lan pointed outside and said, "If my guess is correct, those people must not have left yet, and there are still secret eyeliners left here, and they will not leave until you have the exact news of your death." ”

Landovelle nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, if it were me, I would arrange it too." ”

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth curved a little, and he said, "Then, you are dead." ”

Landovier was stunned for a moment, then her eyes flashed, and she said, "You mean...... Let everyone think I'm dead?"

"Yes, but don't overdo it. ”

"I see. "The military councillor understands that this kind of thing can only be believed by half-concealment, "We can claim that Her Royal Highness the princess has healed her injuries, but on the other hand, we hide the true situation, and do not let Her Royal Highness the princess come forward, then those people will definitely think that Her Royal Highness the princess is either seriously injured or dead, and we are afraid of disturbing the army's heart, so we dare not announce the true situation." ”

Luo Lan nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

"So......" the military councillor cautiously asked, "What next?" After just a few words of conversation, the old military councillor found that this bishop was not simple, and that the originally very complicated things were very clear in his eyes, as if there were no dead ends at all wherever this person looked.

Luo Lan said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness the princess still has to go to the imperial capital, but she will go alone." ”

"Alone?"

"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess will leave the cavalry regiment here first, and then rush to the imperial capital alone at night, whether your brother goes back or not, you will definitely be able to rush back in advance. ”

After a pause, Luo Lan continued: " There are three advantages to this, one is that your guards are here, and those assassins will never think that you will leave alone, and your brother will definitely make a wrong judgment after getting the news; second, your target is much smaller, even if you go to the imperial capital, you don't have to rush to make a move, you can entrust a familiar insider to check the situation before taking action, if you find that the information is fake, then it will be too late to come back; third, because you don't have a legion, but you are alone, so your behavior can also be interpreted as a daughter worried about her father's illness, and it will not directly bring any other thoughts, and His Majesty the Emperor will not be suspicious of you because of this。 ”

"It's really a good thing to say" Landovie's beautiful eyes flashed, she didn't expect the problem that bothered her to be solved perfectly in a few words, she couldn't help but stand up excitedly, bowed deeply to Luo Lan, and solemnly promised: "If I can become the emperor of the Easton Empire, I will definitely ask the bishop to personally crown me"

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth curled, and he smiled: "I hope so." ”

......

After sailing at sea for about twenty days, Abner and the maiden Elenne landed in the port of Kiros, the largest port in the south of the Free City-State, and then hired an experienced guide to follow the rich Free City-State all the way north, through the massive Somad Wall, and after several days, they came to the white sandstone walls of North Selena that stretched across the plains.

In the distance, a mage tower with a lightning ball on the top could be seen standing in a corner of the city.

The guide pointed there and said proudly, "My son is studying in this Qi Mage Tower."

"What, aren't nobles able to learn magic?" Abner asked, surprised.

"Of course, most of the students recruited by the Hedamic ** Division are civilian cadets. ”

Abner was truly surprised, as a mage, he knew all too well how difficult it was to train one.

This is not just a matter of talent, but behind the growth of every mage, it is supported by a huge amount of money, no matter how rich the mage is, it is impossible to support the cultivation of a mage alone, unless...... Beiselen gave him support

Looking at the location of the magic tower in the middle of the city, he nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah, a lot of tigers," Erina pointed into the distance.

As soon as Abner turned his head, he saw a group of "cavalry" galloping in front of him.

Each cavalryman sat down with a colorful tiger with dark black stripes, with a saddle and stirrups on the tiger's back, and a cage beak on the tiger's head, and there were about a hundred of them, and the first one was extremely gorgeous, holding a sword and shield cross flag, and a silver pennant underneath it, and passed in front of them quickly, so many people did not make a sound, and quickly disappeared behind the city wall.

"It's ......"

"It's the Bandoa Sabertooth Tiger Guard of the Diocese of Bethlehem. The Bandoa saber-toothed tiger is a specialty of our Bethlehem Plain, their endurance is only weaker than that of horses, but their speed and explosiveness are faster, but this kind of big guy has to eat a lot every day, it is estimated that a guard can eat a mountain of meat every day, if it is not for the richness of the Bethlehem diocese, they can't afford to raise them at all. The guide explained with emotion.

Abner nodded, he had a deeper understanding of Luo Lan's strength.

It was only in the corner of the city wall that he was surprised to see that not far away, there seemed to be a large building, no less in scale than some palaces in the kingdom of the Mage, but he had never heard of it before.

"There is the Bethlehem Theological Seminary, which took two years to build by hundreds of clergy, 100,000 slave workers, and thousands of large demonic beasts," the guide said triumphantly, "Now this is the largest seminary on the mainland, and there are even many nobles from the Central Continent who do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send their heirs here to study." ”

"Yes......" Abner looked at with emotion, his mentor had spent his life trying to transform the Mage Guild from the inside, but until the moment of his death, this wish could not be realized, and even had to be pressed on him to continue to complete.

And Landiston went from a small nobleman to the position of chief monk step by step by his own efforts, even if the city of Beiselen, which was originally occupied by barbarians, only regained its former glory in just two years, and even surpassed.

At this moment, his desire to revive the Mage Guild was stronger than ever.
