24 Brooklyn

Brooklyn Arquette, the director of the Sanction Mage Tower, was in a trance as she sat in the luxury car of Emperor Paul Gibson, Emperor Ankenrein. Her teacher, her master, the man who had once spoken to the top of the world in this country, had just died, right in front of her, in a way that no one expected.

His body was still warm, and the damp and sticky blood stood all over Brooklyn's skirt, thighs, calves, forearms, and palms, filling the air in the carriage with the smell of blood. Brooklyn lowered her head, looked into Luke Brewster's dead eyes, and gently reached out and brushed his eyelids.

"Your Excellency, Lord Brooklyn, is there anything I can do to help?"

The attendant asked softly outside the car, and what had just happened in the carriage and the sound that came out made them a little worried. The Magister is a terrifying existence in this country than His Majesty the Emperor, and if they annoy him, their fate will be extremely miserable.

"It's okay, just go with you, and tell me when you get to the Mage Tower."

Brooklyn's voice was still as haughty and indifferent, and the two maids whispered in response and left the car.

Inside the carriage, Luna Brewster, whose heart was about to jump out of her nerves, looked at Brooklyn, lowered her voice, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Teacher, what should we do?"

Brooklyn didn't answer her, the maid's call had just called her back from that peculiar trance. Now that the situation is tense, she doesn't have time to be in a daze at all. The fate of all the people of the entire Mage Tower at this moment will be decided by her.

"Luna, give me your cloak and dress."

Brooklyn said as she gently moved Luke's body aside, and took off her long formal dress with intricate patterns. Luna didn't react to Brooklyn's intentions, and she froze for a few seconds until she saw Brooklyn begin to take off her blood-stained blouse underneath her dress, and then began to untie her dress.

Brooklyn was now completely back in shape, she had forced all her doubts, worries, and fears to the back of her mind, and all her attention was focused on one thing.

Carry out Lord Luke's last orders, kill Emperor Paul Gibson, reclaim the power to sanction the Mage Tower to the royal family, and strengthen the position of the Mage Tower.

Brooklyn stood up in the carriage, carefully wiped the blood on the seat board of the carriage with the long skirt she had taken off, and then put the bloodstained clothes under Luke's body, and then looked down at the blouse under her long skirt, and found that it was also covered with blood, reached out to untie the blouse, and ripped off the expensive garment at will, covering Luke's corpse.

"Teacher ......"

Luna looked at Brooklyn, who was left with only her underwear and panties left, and called softly.

"Give me your dress."

Brooklyn reached for Luna's dress and shoved herself inside. She spun around in place, scrutinized Luna's dress again, wiped off a few bits of blood, and stood there for a few seconds before sitting down.

"Luna, I'll take care of everything, and the only thing you have to do is sense the door, understand? If you can open that door, we'll be fine! ”

With a stiff admonition to Luna, Brooklyn sat in the blood-soaked carriage and closed her eyes. Luna nodded slightly, closing her eyes as well.

Royal Guard Captain Tony Russell smelled blood.

He rode his own purebred white horse and walked at the front of the group. In order to protect Miss Luna in the back compartment, the whole car is not moving fast. And just as the convoy was about to reach the west gate of the Sanction Mage Tower, Tony Russell smelled blood.

Unlike most of his colleagues who simply entered the gilded Janissaries, Tony Russell served on the front lines for three years and killed twenty-seven enemies. As a recipient of the Royal Order of the Brave, he received permission from the emperor to serve in the Royal Guard for two years, and this year, his first year.

Tony Russell could tell with certainty that the looming smell was definitely blood. Although the source of the smell is not yet clear, combined with some of the voices coming from the car behind him, Tony Russell always feels that something is happening. He looked around to the right and left, the royal attendants and maids bowing their heads and cautiously riding their chariots, the cavalrymen of the royal guard in bright armor riding tall horses, gilded steam rifles and steam knapsacks hanging from the horses behind them. The soldiers held their heads high, as if no one was aware of what had happened in the carriage.

What if you realize it? This is the family matter of the Great Magister, as the Grand Magister, it is normal to kill someone in the emperor's carriage and bleed, right?

With this in mind, Tony Russell commanded the convoy to stop outside the west gate of the Mage Tower. The blue-clad mage tower guard stepped forward, confirmed the seal with him, walked to the car, and knelt down.

"Your Excellency Magister, Wyatt Revololi, the captain of the third team of the mage tower guard, is here to standby, please command."

Everyone fell silent. Both the royal attendants and the soldiers of the guards lowered their heads and looked at the ground. Without permission, they can't face the Magister.

A small voice came, and Tony Russell guessed that it should be Brooklyn, the director of the Mage Tower.

"Wyatt, Lord Luke is helping Luna stabilize the mana sensing effect, you come with me, I have something to prepare first, you ask them to release the convoy to the outside of the main tower elevator."

"Whoa."

Wyatt Revololi helped Brooklyn out of the car, and the two walked into the west gate first. Leaning slightly, Wyatt stepped out again, glanced at Tony Russell, and arranged for his guards to put the royal guard and the chariot's entourage into the mage Tassimen.

Tony Russell led his horse and walked slowly with the Royal Guard. Deliver Lord Luke and his party safely into the Mage's Tower, and his mission will be accomplished. Now, he walks on the stone path inside the Mage Tower with a sightseeing mindset. As an ordinary person who does not belong to the Mage Tower system, being able to get the opportunity to enter the Mage Tower is enough for him to go back and brag with his comrades for a month.

Located on the western outskirts of Roseville, the Sanction Mage Tower occupies a large area on the western side of Roseville and encloses a tributary of a small river. The mage tower has four gates, south, east and west, and the rectangular center point formed by the four gates are connected in pairs, which is the mage tower that established the status of Roswell's great power.

Tony Russell looked up at this behemoth with countless legends, silently trying to feel the magic of the legend in his heart. Outside of the Mage Tower, there are countless legends of all kinds, some of which mention that if you can touch the black rock surface of the Mage Tower, you will be blessed by the Great Magister and everything will go well. Tony Russell didn't believe these unfounded rumors, but that didn't stop him from trying to find the aura of magic near the Mage's Tower. But before he could feel the magic that could destroy the world, he heard the sound of gunshots.

It was a familiar voice and weapon, and the reaction of being a soldier made him respond immediately. Tony Russell didn't even think about why he was being attacked here, and who dared to attack the Royal Guards within the confines of the Mage's Tower. He just took out his most direct and primitive response, a squat, hid himself under the belly of the horse next to him, and did not forget to reach out and pull down the steam rifle hanging on the side of the horse's belly, and open the cylinder valve to let his steam rifle enter the state of waiting to be activated. After all of this, he had time to observe his surroundings.

All around him, the royal guards and royal attendants who had just walked neatly on the stone path were scattered by the sudden burst of gunfire, and the mage guards who had just walked with them were still mercilessly tilting bullets around the car. Although the disadvantage of the steam rifle, which required gas to be charged every time it was fired, the lack of frequency was compensated for by the large number of people, and in the few minutes that Tony Russell was trying to figure out the situation, the royal guards and royal attendants were either dead or wounded. In the face of a sudden attack, these big-headed soldiers, who had little actual combat experience, had no other way but to lie on the ground and moan loudly and make noise.

When White Russell saw this, he knew his team was hopeless. The priority now is to find a way to get the word out. Regardless of why the Mage Tower attacked the Royal Guard, he had to let His Majesty the Emperor know about this fact.

The gunfire continued, but the groans grew quieter. White thought that the horse with the shield was also shot and fell. White also fell, he covered his face with horse blood, pressed the steam rifle face down, stared at the nearby stone road with wide eyes, and began to play dead.

"How's it going?"

Brooklyn wore Luna's long dress and looked at the corpse from afar. According to her orders, the people of the Mage Tower Guard are replenishing the guns of those corpses one by one, checking them to avoid missing them. Mark Revololi, the head of the Mage Tower Guard, stood beside her, shaking his body a little uneasily.

"What, scared?"

Brooklyn didn't look at him, just asked coldly.

"Not really, but is that really what Lord Luke meant?"

Brooklyn turned her head sideways and looked at Mark Revololi carefully. The head of the mage tower guard has been working for more than twenty years, and although he is old, he is strong and can give people a sense of security.

"Lord Luke is dead."

Mark Revoroli stopped, motionless.

"Just now, when the third great demon tide came, Lord Luke lost his magic powers, and was assassinated on the way back from His Majesty's car with the Emperor, and the assassin used some kind of weapon that we don't know about, and Lord Luke died at that time."

Brooklyn's voice was cold, emotionless. But Mark Revololi felt thunder in her voice.

"Lord Luke is dead, but the Mage Tower can't collapse. Now Luna could activate the magic sense at any time, but Paul Gibson, the old fox, could also find out the truth at any time, and we must rush to kill him before he finds out, and then take control of the country. ”

Mark Revololi did not speak, and there was a small commotion on the road in the distance, as if the guards had spotted a Royal Guard soldier pretending to be dead. After a sparse burst of gunfire, there was silence again.

"Take control of this country, and when Luna becomes a Magister, if you want, you can be the new Emperor, Your Majesty Mark Revololi, how about this title?"

Brooklyn turned her head and smiled at Mark. Mark looked at the side face of the Mage Tower Director and suddenly realized that her beauty had not faded with the passage of time. He pressed the complicated thoughts in his mind and nodded slightly.

"Speak, what do you want me to do, Lord Director?"

After entertaining the guests of the Fire Festival, Paul Gibson returned to the palace after receiving a letter from the Mage Tower, and Luna Brewster successfully activated the magic sense, and Archmage Luke decided to ask Paul to move the Mage Tower first, and discuss the announcement and celebration of the news together.

"Luna activates the magic sense and sanctions the successors of the mage towers, we are at the forefront of the six mage towers this time, it is estimated that some people should be in a hurry."

Ankenrein Imperial Prime Minister Emile Owen stood in front of the Emperor with a smile on his face. It was a blessing for everyone that Luke Brewster had a successor, and the news that Luna had felt it at the Fire Festival had already spread, and many people were looking forward to the official announcement.

"I always feel ......," said Ankenre, who was interrupted by Emperor Paul Gibson, who stood up and took two steps before asking.

"Was there a previous practice for the new apprentice to activate the magic sense and invite the emperor to discuss this matter?"

"No, Archmagister Luke activated the magic sense more than a hundred years ago, not to mention us, our grandfather was not born. To find out how it was celebrated, it takes a little time to check the royal records. ”

"No need to turn it over," Paul waved his hand, and he sat back down, stroking his forehead, "I always felt that something was wrong." ”

"You mean this invitation?" Prime Minister Emile Owen was somewhat unsure.

“…… Well", Paul Gibson's mind is all what he saw and heard at today's Fire Festival, the forbidden spell magic is very powerful, Luna activates the magic sense, Luke wants to send her back, the black crumbs that fall on Luke's robes, Brooklyn's expression, Luna's pale face, his conversation with Luke Brewster, all kinds of scenes flash like a marquee, and finally become a big question mark.

"Go and call Tony Russell, I've got something to ask him."

Eventually, Paul decided to check with Tony Russell, the captain of the guard who was escorting him at the time, to see if there were any problems along the way. There were too many things today, and he hadn't had time to communicate with Russell since he came back.

Prime Minister Emile Owen paused for a moment and reminded in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Lord Luke's letter says that the Royal Guard and the Squires are still resting in the Mage Tower due to the mana spillover in the process of stabilizing Luna's magic sense."

"Oh, and that?"

Paul Gibson took the letter from the emir's hand and read it carefully. After that, he held his chin with his hand and fell silent.

The emir waited for a moment, then reminded him.

"Your Majesty, the Mage Tower is still waiting for us to reply, you see?"

Paul looked up at this, and the light in his eyes flashed.

"Tell them, I'll go!"
