Qiao Xiu Edward raised his eyebrows, but his expression quickly returned to calm, raised his hand to signal the butler to go down, got up with a smile and a wine glass, looked at the dozen or so young magicians under the seat and said with a smile: "You brothers and sisters are the leaders of the younger generation of my Mage Tower, and in a few years you will be the mainstay of the Empire, the future master of the Mage Tower, the future of the Empire, you need your protection, for the Empire, cheers." ”

"For the Empire." All the magicians also got up and raised their wine glasses, all with confident and energetic smiles on their faces, looking at Qiao Xiu's eyes with a bit of fanaticism, they all drank it all.

"It's a little late today, I have booked a few rooms for you in Wenxiang Pavilion, Wenxiang nephrite is in your arms, I believe you can sleep well tonight." Qiao Xiu looked at everyone and said with a smile.

"Your Highness has a heart."

"Your Highness, we are blessed."

"Your Highness is eloquent and strategic, civil and military, if you ascend to the throne in the future, it will be a blessing for my Ross Empire."

When all the magicians heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all praised it, and they did not hesitate to praise it.

"I'm just a second prince, and I don't dare to talk nonsense about ascending to the throne." Qiao Xiu smiled and waved his hand, and then said: "Go, don't let the girls wait for a long time, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold." ”

Seeing all the magicians leave together, the smile on Qiao Xiu's face disappeared, and there was a bit of disdain and disgust in his eyes.

"Your Highness, the guests of the elven clan are waiting in the living room now." The butler from before came in again, bowing his head and respectfully.

"Let him go to the study, and don't let people go near the study." Qiao Xiu's voice was slightly cold, he threw the wine glass in his hand on the table casually, scattered half a glass of wine on the table, and walked out.

"Yes." The housekeeper's head was lowered even deeper, and everyone praised him, what kind of person His Royal Highness the second prince was who was a humble son and gentle as jade, probably no one knew better than him.

In the study with the doors and windows closed, there was silence, and a middle-aged elf with a long figure looked at His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who was wearing a purple robe and staring at a painting on the wall with his back to him, a drop of cold sweat slowly slipped down his forehead, and the dark yellow light reflected on his face through the white light gauze lampshade, his expression was a little nervous.

This second prince, who was only in his early thirties, gave him no weaker feeling in terms of coercion and momentum than Lord Helena, and he had been standing here for more than ten minutes, but he had not looked back at him from beginning to end, as if he had been treated as air.

"Tell me, Helena asked you to bring me some news this time." Qiao Xiu still didn't turn his head, his eyes turned to the next picture, and he asked in a cold voice, not deliberately majestic.

"Mistress Helena asked me to bring you a letter." The elf hurriedly said, and took out a dark green letterhead from his bosom, and a slender vine stretched out from the letterhead, crawling all over the envelope, like a blockade, and there was not a word on the envelope, which looked quite mysterious.

"Put it on the table and get out." Qiao Xiu still didn't look back and said.

"Yes." The elf nodded hurriedly, holding the envelope in both hands and gently placing it on the desk, taking two steps back, then turning around and pushing the door out, and then gently closing the door, only then did he let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his back was soaked with sweat for some time.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qiao Xiucai slowly turned around, walked to the table and picked up the letter on the table, the vines on the surface of the envelope lit up with a trace of green light, and then quickly receded like a tide, all of which retracted into the envelope.

Qiao Xiu tore open the envelope casually, poured it on the table, and a small black seed and a light green letter paper fell out with a click.

Ignoring the little seed, Qiao Qiu picked up the letter and looked at it, his brows gradually furrowed, the room was silent, and the light flickered slightly.

After a while, Qiao Xiu's gaze moved away from the letterhead, the light green letterhead burned in his hand and turned into ashes, and a green flame also rose on the envelope and the seed on the table, completely turning to ashes.

"Snarr, I underestimated him, time back, how far away the spell, I didn't expect anyone to ...... Alex, you really didn't die. Qiao Xiu slowly clenched his fists, his voice was as cold as ice, and his expression was a little hideous.

A gust of wind suddenly rose in the room, rolling up a stack of white paper on the table, dancing around the room, the light was cut into pieces, and fell on Qiao Xiu's gloomy face.

Qiao Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of paper, the wind suddenly stopped, and the paper flying in the sky seemed to be suddenly pressed by a stone, and all of them fell to the ground at once.

"Looks like the plan is going to be a little bit ahead." Qiao Xiu's face had regained his calmness, and there was no trace of joy or anger on his handsome face, he sat down at the desk, picked up the quill on the table, and wrote on the paper: "Dear Irina, I haven't written to you for a long time......"

After writing a letter, he pulled out a blue envelope from the bookshelf next to him and put it in, and then wrote on the envelope: Irina herself.

After thinking for a while, he took a piece of paper again and wrote, "Lord Helena, I am willing to help you complete your plan, but I also hope that you will remember your promise that the light of the Mage Tower will shine on the entire continent. ”

……

In the Los Empire, on the southwest border, a large tent in a military camp was brightly lit, and a burly young man wearing golden armor and a dignified appearance sat on top of the head, holding up a big bowl in front of him and smiling: "!" ”

"!" The generals in armor who sat down also raised their bowls, said with a smile, and drank a large bowl of wine.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince is really bold!" The next old Jiang smiled and looked at the young man in golden armor with admiration.

"Your Highness, Quinn has returned, saying that he has something important to report." At this moment, a guard hurriedly entered the door and whispered in the ear of the young man in golden armor.

Sean Edward's eyes lit up, and he immediately calmed down, nodded his head and motioned for the guards to retreat, got up with a smile and said, "Everyone, please continue to drink, I'll go to the hut and go back." He got up and walked out of the tent.

"Let him come to my tent." As soon as he got out of the tent, Sean's smile faded, and he calmly commanded, walking towards a tent next to him.

"Your Highness, after more than half a year of my secret visit, among the several generals you asked me to investigate, General Simon, who has returned to Luodu after unloading his armor, is the most suspicious, when that incident happened, he disappeared inexplicably for a while, and later although there was an explanation for the reason, it was not the same as what he said after my visit." Soon, a young man wearing a black leotard and a half-silver mask appeared in the tent, glanced left and right, and spoke softly, with a little hoarseness in his voice.

"Simon? Alex's right-hand man back then, it seems that he and Alex's disappearance may indeed have something to do with it......" Sean said softly with a smile on his face.
