As a senior federal spy, Stanley, after all, he subconsciously underestimated Su Mu.

When he thought that Su Mu's arrival was just to make a random inspection, he found that Su Mu had already won over most of the alchemists in just a few words.

And just when Stanley was feeling awe-inspiring about this, and was about to question why Su Mu wanted to go further, he found that Su Mu was luring himself to show his feet.

Even when Stanley's identity was finally completely exposed, Su Mu not only did not criticize Stanley himself too much, but directly said what he wanted to say to the federal government through the medium of Stanley.

Therefore, when Su Mu took Su Tong and left the alchemy workshop again.

Stanley, who was still standing in place, watched the back of the two of them leaving with more and more shock in his heart.

Some indescribable emotion is also spreading rampantly in Stanley's heart.

It wasn't until Su Mu and the two of them had completely disappeared into the corner of the street that the workshop could see, that Stanley was shocked from his previous emotions, and immediately walked to the alchemy transmitter for his own use in the workshop.

Then, the news that had to be reported immediately was just as Su Mu expected at the beginning, and could only be truthfully passed back by Stanley...... In front of the spy boss Adrian!

......

The federal government's response speed was even faster than Su Mu imagined.

When Su Mu and Su Tong were quietly returning to the mansion, the two had just landed in Su Tong's bedroom from the window, and a servant had already gently knocked on the bedroom door.

Then a bulletin that had to come rang out so naturally:

"His Highness and the Speaker's personal butler Adrian is here!"

Hearing this, Su Mu and the two of them naturally looked at each other with a look in their eyes.

Then they quickly sorted out their appearances, and then calmly pretended to be in the mansion, and calmly went to the reception room where Adrian was received.

Speaking of which, even if you count it now, Su Mu has actually only seen Adrian three times.

But it was these three encounters that Adrian left in Su Mu's mind that the impression he left was more and more worthy of attention and fear.

When they first met, Adrian was the Archon's gentle teacher.

And he even cleverly used a simple reverse hint to successfully induce Su Mu to show ambition, and then was completely manipulated by the Speaker of the Federal Assembly.

And the second time they met, Adrian's identity was that of a thorough butler.

He didn't seem to interfere to any degree in the sharp counterattack raised by Su Mu and Lu Xi, but just silently watched as the mystery would be established.

As for the third meeting in front of him, Adrian's identity has once again changed to the leader of the federal spies.

Amazingly...... The incomparably large shadow of the Federation that is secretly watching everyone.

"So, Lord Adrian, do you have an answer to my question?"

After coming to the reception room, Su Mu did not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb at all, but was extremely calm, and directly brought up the question raised by Stanley in front of Adrian again.

However, at this moment, Adrian did not immediately give an answer when he heard this.

Instead, with an extraordinarily satisfied look, he looked at Su Mu, who was now beginning to show his grandeur.

Then he spoke softly, and said not so softly:

"A man's ability must be matched by his ambition. Otherwise, all his abilities will be tools in the hands of others. So who are you now...... Are you ready to be a tool master?"

......

Su Mu did not answer Adrian's question.

Just gently and firmly, he slowly held Su Tong's hand in his palm.

Su Mu's actions are undoubtedly using facts to illustrate that he must firmly protect the princess of the empire, so that she never needs to return to the quagmire in the empire.

After seeing this, Adrian strangely revealed a little regret at this time, and seemed to support Su Mu's choice, but he still had other thoughts after all.

However, Adrian's subtle emotions have not even been really noticed by others.

The next moment, Adrian had already turned to say:

"As you feared, in order to return to China as soon as possible, the princes and daughters of the Longtuo Empire held a wedding and returned as soon as one of the parties reached the marriageable age, which is actually not uncommon from ancient times to the present. ”

"And since the matter between you and Her Royal Highness the princess has already caused the entire continent to pay special attention. Once you have crossed the age of majority, the Empire will urge you to get married as soon as possible, which is also a reasonable behavior. ”

"In other words, if your ultimate goal is indeed to ascend to the top of the Federation and become the 'perfect consul' of the plan. So how to let Her Royal Highness live in the Federation for a long time is a problem you must solve at present. ”

Adrian said this, but he paused deliberately.

did not directly say about the official intentions of the federal government.

On the contrary, it is extremely abrupt, and tells a metaphor that seems to have nothing to do with it:

"As an alchemist, you should know that technique. For many relatively old alchemists, when it is difficult for you to disassemble their Karakuri structure to inspect them, you actually need to tighten the Karakuri joints tighter before you can open them in reverse. ”

"And a lot of things in this world...... In fact, this is exactly what is needed!"

......

"You mean, let Su Tong return to the empire temporarily?"

Adrian's analogy, Su Mu undoubtedly understood it at the first time.

However, compared to Su Mu's thoughts at this time, it is obvious that Adrian's plan is more radical:

"It's not that Her Royal Highness the Princess needs to return temporarily, but that you and Her Royal Highness the Princess, all of you will take the initiative to go to the capital of the Longtuo Empire after your coming-of-age ceremony. ”

"The reason why the empire wants Her Royal Highness to return is undoubtedly to use your influence in the Federation, so that Her Royal Highness will use you as a strong foreign aid and be involved in the Empire's battle for succession again. ”

"But as long as you completely contradict this, show a posture that you will never be separated even if you return to your country, and even give up the good situation in the Federation altogether. Without the aura of the 'Federation Upstart', it will be difficult for you to intervene in the dispute with your own strength. ”

Adrian said that after that, he gently took out a delicate official invitation.

Then, while placing the invitation on several cases, he also added:

"And most importantly, if it's just the two of you who go alone, the Empire might imprison both of you in a fit of rage, leaving you with no chance of returning to the Federation. ”

"But it also happened to be at the end of this year, and the triennial exchange meeting of the three major academies happened to be held in the Qinghua Knight Academy in the Longtuo Empire. ”

"Therefore, you and Her Royal Highness the Princess, you don't need to go to the territory of the empire alone, but you can go to meet the monarch of the Longtuo Empire by the way in the name of academic exchanges...... Accompany the communication team of the Northern Academy of Magic and travel safely to and from the Dragon Extension Empire. ”

"As long as the two of you are always in the Academy's exchange mission, no matter how angry the Imperial side is, it will definitely not be able to deal with an academic exchange team...... Feel free to limit yourself!"
