The old man's name is Des, and he is really Klose's butler, of course, the other party has also seen Linton, otherwise how can he recognize him directly, but Linton doesn't remember him at all.

The time when Linton came back was not very good, it was already about four o'clock in the middle of the night, so the whole Marquis Mansion was asleep. Because Des was older, he had gotten up early, and then he was more industrious, and he got up at four o'clock every day to start preparing breakfast and other things, but as soon as he got up, he saw Linton standing in the corridor.

Linton's return is naturally a big deal, after all, Linton's limelight is very hot now, Des was going to wake everyone up directly and tell them the news of Linton's return, but seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Linton didn't let him, and first pulled Des to ask what had happened recently.

Des was quick to brief Linton about the situation. At this time, it had been 11 days since Linton left, and Linton had shined in the jousting arena before, causing everyone to come to him for a while. However, Klose quickly announced that Linton had left the city temporarily, much to the disappointment of most of the people who came, and of course they had come in to see it, and Linton was indeed not there.

After three or four days like this, there were finally fewer people coming. The people who came also shifted the focus to the Merlowe family, and Linton's own nephew Garsein, as well as his cousin, became the targets of wooing. Garseen was not tired of it, but his cousin was very happy with it, just as Linton had expected.

As for the rest, Des is not very clear. During this period, Klose was summoned by the emperor several times, but what was specifically discussed was not known to him, the butler, and Garseen was also summoned by the emperor, in addition to officially conferring him the title of baron, it seemed that he also had a little private chat, but Des didn't know what he was talking about.

As he spoke, the sky was a little brighter, and at this time, the people below also came to inform Des that the old man Klose had woken up and was ready to have breakfast. Klose is also an old man after all, he wakes up early when he is old, and he is used to eating breakfast early, but today Des did not take the initiative to call him, which is also strange.

Nades also directly told Klose the news of Linton's return, and soon Gasein was also called, and the two soon came to the living room.

"You kid, you still know how to come back." Before anyone arrived, Klose's voice had already arrived, "Do you know I'm dying of annoyance these days? ”

"I know, otherwise why would I be hiding?" Linton said.

"Anyway, it's good for you to come back, what kind of magic you said about seals and other things won't work at all, I've tried for so many days and still can't release the magic you said, hurry up and show me what's going on." Klose said.

"Can't you?" Linton didn't know if it would work, after all, it was just an experiment, so it seemed that it wouldn't work to use magic instead of chakra to release magic? It's true that he can, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can do it, and he is prepared, "Then try something else." ”

"After what, get it for me now." Klose said.

"No, I haven't been back for a few days, and I still have some things to deal with." Linton said, "I heard that the emperor has seen you, what is the situation?" ”

"Well......" Speaking of this, Klose became serious, this is indeed an important matter, "something big happened in the past few days since you left. ”

"What's the big deal?" Linton asked.

"The largest lord in the north, Duke Minotir, declared independence from the Holy Empire of Ilan, and seems to have the support of the Yetis Empire, the current situation in the empire is a little tense." Klose said.

"Oh...... What does this have to do with me? Linton asked, it was obvious that the Duke of the North was in turmoil, and the Empire must have a headache, but Linton was very strange, what did this have to do with him.

Klose looked at Garseen next to him, and Garseen on this side said: "When Your Majesty summoned me, you said that the person who assassinated our family may have been sent by this Duke of Minotier. ”

"What?" Linton was stunned, "This Duke of Minotir sent it?" What kind of grudge does he have against our family? ”

"I don't know." "Your Majesty hasn't found out why he did anything to our family, after all, our family is just a small family in the south of the empire, and according to the current speculation, it may just be a means to disrupt the south before he is ready to rebel." ”

"So you believe it?" Linton said, "I guess it's a scapegoat." You see, we are looking for a murderer, and then there happens to be a rebellion, Your Majesty will let him be this murderer by the way, give us an explanation and let me target him by the way, after all, I can be hanged, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by me. ”

"This ...... Your Majesty probably wouldn't do that. Garsein thought for a moment and said.

"Huh?" Linton looked at Garseen a little surprised, he didn't expect this nephew to really believe in His Majesty, from his words, he could feel that he still had some trust in the emperor, he had never seen this emperor before, but now he just met once, and he actually showed part of the emperor's trust, this emperor is a bit level.

"I don't think it's certain, but it's also possible." Klose, who was next to him, said, "Although I don't know why, the timing of the Duke of Minotir's rebellion is indeed strange, and he suddenly rebelled shortly after the jousting trial, and there is no special warning. And His Majesty told me that before that, His Majesty had asked the Duke of Minotir to go to the imperial capital, because he had found some information that he might be involved in this matter, and wanted to ask him to explain the situation, so he directly released the news of the rebellion. ”

"In other words, he was a thief and was afraid of my revenge, so he rebelled directly?" Linton asked.

"After all, he didn't know that the little Merlowe family still had a saint-level strength person, but now he knows that he is in big trouble, so he directly chooses to do it." "I think it makes perfect sense. ”

"Totally reasonable?" Linton asked.

"He has the support of the Yates Empire, perhaps not only military support, but also personal security support." Klose said, "After all, you are facing a saint-level, and if you want to protect yourself, you can only seek help from the state." If he is behind the assassination of your family, His Majesty the Emperor will certainly not be able to protect him, so he will seek protection from other empires. ”

Linton understood what Klose meant, the holy level should be a weapon belonging to the national strategic level, then he has already proved that he has the level of the holy level, if the other party is really a murderer, the only way to escape his own responsibility is to prove to the emperor that he is innocent, but his own strength, the emperor probably also intends to win him over, this will not favor him. So he probably chose the second path, that is, to find another country-level force to protect him.

Looking at it this way, this Duke of Minotir may really be behind it, but I don't know why this guy is targeting the Merlowe family.

"So, there's going to be a war?" Linton asked.

"Yes, this battle is inevitable." Klose said, "The duke rebelled, and if it didn't matter, the other nobles in the territory would not say the opposite. ”

"Hmm......" This Linton could understand, but he looked at Garseen next to him, and suddenly said, "If you guess correctly, you also want to participate in this war?" ”

"Not only to participate, he has just been awarded the rank of general, and he is already a general." Klose said.

"It is very likely that this matter has something to do with our family, and I want to ask the Duke of Minotir in person, I want to know if he is the murderer of our family." Garseen said.

Linton was a little speechless, this emperor is really using a trick. As the back-end nobleman of the empire, Garseen is of course obliged to lead troops to the battle, and it is normal for him to be crowned a general. And he didn't send Garseen to his own attention. Of course, it can be used, and Linton's headache is that this little nephew is really a little brainwashed by the emperor, with an excited look.

Thinking of this, Linton suddenly wanted to remind the little nephew of the fear of being dominated by his uncle. So Linton also smiled slightly: "I said, little nephew, do you know what I have learned from my master in the past few days?" ”

"Uh...... What reeds are swordsmanship? Garseen didn't know why Linton was asking this suddenly, but he tried to answer.

"No, no, no, that one is outdated." Linton said, "I've recently learned a new stunt, so I'm invincible again!" ”

"Uh...... Okay, okay, okay. "Garsein holds his forehead.

"This stunt is called the biochemical transformation surgery of the new reed celebrity." Linton continued, "It should be noted that this technique is not an ordinary exercise, not only can it make me invincible, if I use it on other people, it can make a person countless times stronger in that instant, this is simply a divine skill, right." ”

"Skills to make others stronger?" Klose next to him was stunned.

"Yes, it's the kind of magic skill that helps people open up the eight veins of the Wonder Scripture." Linton said.

"What are the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra?" Both of them looked confused.

"It doesn't matter, it's a skill that makes you strong." Linton said, "You see you're about to go to war, in case there are three long and two short, uncle, I'm not a white-haired person to a black-haired person......"

"You're younger than me......" Garseen couldn't help but say.

"It's not important to say it, anyway, this skill is so hanging, you ...... Want to get a stronger package? Linton said.
