Although today's game has ended, the shock brought to everyone by the first two battles today is urging everyone except the participants to start thinking more hard about how to face it.

So when the students returned to the garden, they all ran to the indoor training ground.

Not to mention lazy idlers, there are very few people who don't even try their best.

At this time, Su Mu, although he also had the heart to join in this exciting grand occasion, but with a small figure braving the wind and snow, Su Mu was once again coaxed by everyone and was left alone in the warm living room.

The fireplace exudes infinite warmth, and the crackling sound fills the room.

But even so, Su Tong still seemed to feel a little cold, and could only hold a cup of hot tea pitifully, as if this was the only way to make himself, who had no Qi energy, feel a little warm taste.

However, when Su Mu saw this, he hesitated and sighed.

The method of making Su Tong warm in an instant, Su Mu had actually thought of it a long time ago, and when he was walking in the snow a few days ago, Su Mu had already used that method.

But the real problem now is that Su Mu still hasn't thought about Su Tong's questions that day.

Not to mention, in order to conduct the most efficient discussion, Qin Dong is also on the way to invite Lu Xi now.

So Su Mu, who failed to make a decision, naturally became even more messy.

Seeing this, Su Tong still had a sigh in his heart after all.

However, Su Tong didn't break it, but continued to hold the hot tea in his hand, and as soon as Lu Xi arrived, he quickly said a new discovery:

"I thought we needed to know as much as possible about the opponent, and I also entrusted the Second Emperor Brother to investigate the information about the teaching assistant. And this time, the second emperor brother directly went to use the power of the empire to obtain the results of the investigation, which is obviously more surprising than we imagined. ”

When Su Tong said this, she silently moved on the soft sofa, as if signaling Lu Xi to sit beside her.

And after seeing this, Lu Xi undoubtedly sat down next to Su Tong gently.

Then, as a matter of course, he took the teacup in Su Tong's hand and put it down, and then gently held Su Tong's still cold little hand, and then conveyed the warm Qi energy.

But in this warmth, the next sentence in Su Tong's mouth once again pulled everything back to coldness:

"If the Empire's intelligence system is not faulty, then the identity of that teaching assistant should be a rookie in the political scene of the Papal States that has risen rapidly within a few years...... The youngest cardinal in history, Bastion!"

Under the Papal States, the Pope itself is really just a symbol, and the real body of power is the Council of Cardinals, which is similar to the Federal Assembly.

As for the role of the cardinal, he is actually a federal parliamentarian.

And more importantly, because of the size of the Federal Parliament, the number of members is much larger than that of the cardinal. Therefore, it is clear that the cardinal secretary alone is much more valuable than the federal parliamentarian.

......

"Bastien was born in the Kingdom of France, the result of a marriage between the royal family of the Kingdom and the high-ranking members of the Papal States. Because of this, within the Kingdom of France, instead of giving Bastion the fief he deserved, they also prevented him from entering the political arena, leaving him to be an idle nobleman forever. ”

But such an arrangement is clearly not acceptable to a figure like Bastien. So eleven years ago, when Bastien was just coming of age, Bastião directly announced that he would renounce his status as a nobleman of the kingdom and join the Papal States as a pure commoner. ”

In the eyes of many people at the time, Bastion's behavior was simply a loss of mind. No one thinks that the Papal Council would put such a 'wonderful' person on the throne. However, to everyone's surprise, Bastion's ability was far beyond people's imagination, and it only took him ten years to climb to the top of the cardinal. ”

Su Tong said this, and looked at Lu Xi beside him and Su Mu in front of him with even more palpitations.

Then he said a more critical question with an awe-inspiring voice:

"Just as there are hawks and doves in all countries, Bastião is the representative of the hawks in the Papal States. Even the kingdom he most advocated attacking was his home kingdom, the Kingdom of France. ”

So much so that because of Bastien's rapid ascension, the relationship between France and the Papal States became extremely tense for a time. The two countries almost started the biggest dispute in decades at his instigation. ”

If Su Tong revealed Bastion's identity, both Lu Xi and Su Mu were slightly glad to know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this time, as Su Tong tore off the veil of this person little by little, Su Mu and the others already felt the seriousness of the matter.

A hawkish cardinal with a strong wrist actually hid in the mission of the Papal States.

This is not good news in any way.

......

However, at the same time that Su Mu and the three of them were awe-inspiring each other because of the identity of "Bastion", Qin Dong, who was guarding the door, knocked on the door again.

Then a question about a visitor's visit also gently fell into the ears of the three people:

"A teaching assistant from Lanxiang Karakuri Academy came to visit, and he claimed to be named Bastion, and said that when you hear this name, you will naturally allow him to ask for a meeting. ”

Bastion's guess was indeed correct, and when Su Mu and the three of them heard Bastion's personal visit with a shocked face, they could only agree to Bastion's request.

Now, including the distant meeting in the martial arts arena, Su Mu and the three of them have actually seen Bastion more than a dozen times.

However, until this time, Su Mu and the three of them had just understood each other's identities.

I saw a man named Bastion, who had already arrived in the guest room under the guidance of Qin Dong after a while, and walked calmly to the location of Su Mu and the others.

For Bastion's arrival, Su Mu and the three of them naturally got up politely to greet him.

But at this moment, Bastião was like the master of this room, and while smiling warmly and saluting Su Mu and the three of them, he also made a posture of asking to sit, and then took the lead in sitting on the sofa alone at the end of several cases.

Vaguely, the low cases in front of me seemed to have turned into a wide long table.

And the man at the end of the case naturally became the master of the conversation.

"May I ask your Excellency Bastion, what are you here for?"

The first one to speak, of course, was Lu Xi, who had the highest status in Su Mu's three-person room.

But for Lu Xi's straightforward question, Bastion did not give a straight answer, but kept circling between Su Mu and the three of them with a teasing gaze.

Then he said something shocking, and asked abruptly:

"I'm afraid that the dark bards behind the thirteen seats have asked you to be sure to fall in love with the other 'chosen ones', or some more outrageous hints!"

"And if that's the case, then whether it's in the hearts of the Thirteen Seats, or in the hearts of your disciples who moved the continent...... Haven't you ever had the idea of breaking free from the control of the Dark Bard?"
