Capital of the Marston Empire, Babylon.

In the study of the Imperial Chancellor Bopolini, a cabinet of perseverance stood by the wall, and in the cabinet visited all kinds of beautiful plates, suddenly, a lake-blue plate began to vibrate, emitting a blue glow, and then a stack of reports appeared on the plate.

It was Augustus's report, which gave a detailed account of how that important thing was lost, and what happened next.

The Prime Minister of the Empire, Bopollini, looked at the report from Auslin, and although his face was displeased, he patiently checked the report, and his right index finger tapped rhythmically on the table, calculating the whole picture of the matter.

"A group of men found the hideout, but were burned to death, and it seems that the star sign of the flame has escaped. ”

"Did the rebels get it, no, if they did, the battle wouldn't be like this, there should be more soldiers who were burned to death, so that person was hiding, he didn't want to be exposed? No, he didn't dare to expose it. ”

"If it's a Marston, well, it's going to be flustered but not going to make a move, that person is familiar with the underground casino, the administrator, or the regulars, the Imperial nobles and commoners shouldn't go there and know the secret passage, and they killed the Imperial soldiers, so it can only be a third party. ”

"No, if the rebels have a little brain, they will find a way to hide, and even if they don't know the meaning, they will know the weight of this force. ”

The vizier had deduced the whole story from the report from Augustus alone, and he did not think there was any problem with Augustus's efforts to withdraw his troops and begin to appease the Portians immediately after Doug's death.

"This little favor is not enough, although the possibility of being in the hands of the rebels is very low, but this option must be clear, rather than another conflict, it is better to make them wonder, if it is not in the hands of the rebels, then that person should act for this, test the meaning of the empire. ”

The prime minister pondered that there were many ways to solve this problem, and that although force measures were effective, they should be used modestly for the sake of the future of the empire, and he thought for a long time, and then wrote down his instructions to Augustus.

"The contents of the box have come out, and they may not have been obtained by the rebels, so immediately issue an equality bill, lift martial law on the Old Street as soon as possible, and find a way to contact the other party to confirm whether the other party has obtained the contents of the box, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of other alien races in the city, especially the remnants of other kingdoms. ”

After a few strokes of instructions, he placed the paper on the lake-blue plate from earlier, which glowed blue again, and then the paper disappeared, reappearing on Augustus's desk.

After doing all this, the prime minister held his chin and thought, after all, the official way is just to eliminate mistakes in the general direction, and if you want to find that person, you still need to arrange your own secret hand.

The Prime Minister picked up his pen again, this time the finished instruction was placed on a small yellow plate, and after a burst of yellow light, the note disappeared, believing that it had reached someone's hand at this time.

The consul did not quite understand the meaning of the Prime Minister's instructions, but he had no choice but to do so, after all, all the measures seemed to be very gentle, and although the timing seemed strange, it could be an opportunity for negotiations.

Fortunately, although this paper bill made many citizens of the empire feel unfair, and even fought each other, fortunately it did not cause a riot in the whole city, but it was bitter that he once again stayed in the Consulate overnight, busy all night, and at the same time had to send Jike, who came to shout and complain.

"My lord, although it is said that it is the instructions of the Prime Minister, it always feels wrong to deal with it like this. One subordinate asked, "Do you need to do something else?" ”

"No, and depending on the meaning of the prime minister, he thinks that things may not be in the hands of the rebels, but in the hands of other third parties, and people other than the Marstons in the country must be included in the scope of surveillance, so don't use the Crow Army this time, let the patrol people work hard, and wait for them to settle down. Augustus commanded.

Zhou Lie, who returned to the dormitory, didn't care about the notice he saw on the street today, it seems that this consul is going to use tough means that it will not work, and he is going to use the means of recruiting security, I am afraid that in the near future, this consul will communicate with the other party in order to get the box.

If it were the other remnants of Marston's demise, it might be true that the prime minister would secretly use various methods to contact the rebels to inquire about the other party's movements and confirm whether the other party would continue their activities.

But for Zhou Lie, the civil strife in this country has nothing to do with him, and the two boxes were also lost to the other party, as long as he waits for this matter to pass, and when he leaves the city in half a year, who can know that he has something to do with the old street.

And if he appeared in front of the two rebels in a mask, there was no possibility that he would be exposed.

Wrong.

Thinking of this, Zhou Lie realized one of his mistakes, he lived here for two years, and he always habitually forgot the difference between himself and the people around him, although he was masked, his eyes and hair were still exposed, and the black eyes and black hair unique to Orientals were completely looked at by the other party, so what was the use of covering the lower half of his face.

And if the rebels are really willing to talk to the other party, they will inevitably talk about the origin of this box, just like for General Zhou Lielai, how the rebels will end up as his scapegoat has nothing to do with him, and similarly, it has nothing to do with what he will do to the rebels.

"Yo, it looks like you're aware of a big problem. Frem's voice rang out.

"Yes, but no matter what, I also have Xia Guo behind me, as long as it is put on the table, then there is still something to talk about, as long as I don't run into the person who draws his sword at every turn. Zhou Lie said in his mind, "Speaking of which, you said that you still have the previous master, how did you leave him?"

"Hey, didn't I tell you? It was the Empire that sent a magister and a knight to kill my previous master, and I was sealed in that box. "And in the end, my master blew himself up and took those magisters on his way, but unfortunately the sealing technique has already begun, otherwise I would have escaped." ”

"Damn, don't you say such an important thing?" Zhou Lie was furious, the other party actually killed people to snatch Frem, so it is very likely that he will also end up like this, Xia Guo is far away in the sky, and some small things can be used to scare people.

"You didn't blame me. ”

"Is there any way to get you out of my body directly?"

"There seems to be no way but your death, you must know that you and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, you have to live well. Frem's tone was still so casual, without any tension.

Zhou Lie took a deep breath and calmed down his mood, he knew that he had to be calm, he hadn't been able to fully control this force yet, and rash action would only increase his chances of being discovered.

Zhou Lie took out a blank piece of paper and began to prepare a letter to send to his mother next month, of course, the letter would not mention anything about Frem, but as usual, just about whether he was safe and what he had seen at school.

Every time he encountered something annoying, Zhou Lie would write a letter to restore his calm.

After recording the trivial matters of the past two days, he put down his pen and said to Frem, "Let's start today's practice." ”

Yes, there is no point in thinking about it too much, it is the right way to be down-to-earth step by step, no matter what you want to do or change, mastering this power is the first task.

Under Zhou Lie's reminder, this time the practice time was shortened to half a night, avoiding the lack of sleep like last night, in the dream Zhou Lie's control of the fire element is more accurate, although he has not been able to form flames safely, but he has been able to cause all kinds of explosions as he wants, and in the dream world he can already take advantage of the explosion wind to do short flights in the air.

According to Frem, "You can't master the basics well, but you master the advanced skills first." ”

Although Zhou Lie still wanted to continue practicing for a while, according to the agreement, after practicing for half a night, Zhou Lie needed to ensure his sleep, so he had to quit the dream world and sleep until dawn.

This day is the last day to prepare for Master Wilson, tomorrow Master Wilson will come to the school, and today the welcome arrangements must be completed, the guard of honor and the orchestra are rehearsing under the direction of Aniah, Zhou Lie and Stella are confirming the layout of the auditorium for the speech, Byron is coordinating the resources of the various gates, and arranging various ceremonies such as laying flowers after the master's speech.

"Are you a little absent-minded today, and you still haven't slept well?" In the auditorium, Stella looked at Zhou Lie who was staring at the window in a daze and asked.

"Well, you decide. Zhou Lie replied in a trance, still staring at the window blankly.

"Hey, I'm asking if you haven't slept well again!" Stella put on an angry face, her cheeks bulged slightly, during the time when the two of them were directing the arrangement of the auditorium, Zhou Lie had been in a daze, and all the arrangements were completed by Stella alone.

"Ahh Zhou Lie woke up and said apologetically, all day today, Zhou Lie was thinking about how he could keep his secret if Augustus and the leader of the rebels really started negotiations.

In the end, it was concluded that it was the quickest and most effective way to get rid of all those in the know, but he abandoned the idea as soon as it came out.

"What are you worried about, can you tell me? Stella jumped in front of Zhou Lie and raised her head and said.

"Ah, a classmate in the class asked me about stealing a man's wine, and after drinking it, he gave the jug as a gift to a guy who had a bad relationship with the person who was stolen, and now the two are fighting because of it, but there seems to be a tendency to reconcile recently, and the man is afraid that what he has done will be exposed and asks me for help. Zhou Lie spread his hands and posed with his clothes and said helplessly.

"Wow, this guy is really bad, he wants to get out of it. I think it's better for you to get him to turn himself in, and you don't have to think of a way for a guy with such a bad character. Stella frowned and criticized.

"Who told me that I thought it was funny and said yes, but now it makes me miserable. Zhou Lie snorted haha.

"Hey, why do boys always like to do this kind of thing, if you want me to say that he stole it, he stole it, and gave it to others as a gift, isn't this a handle for others? ”

"I also think it's stupid. Zhou Lie said righteously: "So it's good that I'm worried about this matter, and when the time comes, I'll accompany him to apologize." ”

Stella put on a skeptical expression and stared at Zhou Lie.

"Then again, Master Wilson is coming tomorrow, and I'm kind of looking forward to his speech tomorrow. Zhou Lie hurriedly changed the topic, after all, it was his own business to cover up his identity, and there was no need for the girl next to him to help with ideas.

"It is said that this time he will select talented people from the academy to study in the magic capital, I don't know if he has this kind of physique. Stella said.

"Can we learn magic at our age?" Zhou Lie asked suspiciously, in his opinion, magic should be the same as practicing martial arts, the younger it is, the more advantageous it is to start a bachelor's degree.

"I don't know, but every year the Demon Capital sends the Magus to the academies in various cities to select talented students, and then bring them back to the Demon Capital to study, since that's the case, then it's okay to start learning magic even now. Stella said.

"Oh, that's kind of interesting. ”

Even though he knew that he didn't have the talent to learn magic, Zhou Lie was still interested in the most mysterious culture in the West, but because of Frem, Zhou Lie had already given up his plan to find a way to enter the Demon Capital, but maybe he could get a little information about Frem from that master's mouth?
