"The confrontation between the two great magisters of the empire, this topic sounds exciting, but I don't know what the outcome will be. The boy laughed.

"And who are you?" Kane looked at the gloating teenager, who felt even more dangerous to him than Sifi.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm James... James Lawn. The young man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Kane was stunned again, and finally understood what Aven's words meant before, Lawne is the surname of the royal family, and the current king's name is William Lawn, this young man is a prince, and he should just be His Royal Highness in the mouths of those people before.

But this James is a little special, this matter has to involve a royal feud, Kane remembered that Blair had told him before, the king's name is William, William means a strong defender, which is understandable for a king, but James means the one who replaces.

The problem lies in this James, if he is the eldest prince, then there is no doubt, but he is the second son of the king, and the royal succession system is in the order of eldest and youngest, so the name James is very interesting, could it be that the king wants the throne to be inherited by James?

It is undeniable that many people in the country are speculating like this, which has directly led to the emergence of two factions in the minister and the family in the country, and some of the more conservative people are still standing by the side of the eldest prince Victor, because although James means the replacement, but Victor means the victor, which may mean that the eldest prince can still get what should belong to him.

There are also many people who stand by James's side, partly because of his name, and partly because of the character of the eldest prince, Victor directly regarded his younger brother as the biggest enemy in his life because of this matter, and used many conspiracies in private, and indirectly killed their common mother, so many people think that Victor is too small, even if he becomes a king, it may be difficult to make a big difference, so he supports James.

The Gray family and the Reiter family are two of the two who support James, especially the support of Marquis of Brynn, which is quite weighty for James.

"It turned out to be Your Highness, and I was rude just now. Kane bowed slightly and said, the etiquette in this world is very strict.

James nodded and smiled, "Since you are from the Reiter family, maybe I can help you." ”

Kane thought to himself that you should take care of your own affairs first, of course, you can't say that.

Seeing that he didn't speak, James said, "Actually, I always regarded you as an enemy before I saw you, but now, we may be able to make friends." ”

"Enemy, we don't think we've ever met, right?" Kane wondered.

James smiled, raised his glass and took another sip, "You have a marriage contract with Miss Leah, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Brynn, many people know about this, but you may not know why you are her fiancé. ”

"What do you mean?"

James retracted his eyes, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said with a calm face, "Do you know, Miss Leah's fiancé was supposed to be me!"

Kane was stunned, he really didn't know, he had asked Blair before, and Blair only said that he and Marquis Bryn had been friends of life and death for many years, and they had participated in several major wars of the empire together, and had made a marriage contract before Kane and Leah were born, hoping to continue their friendship.

"I think you've heard of some of the royal feuds, and the Marquis of Bryn is my supporter, but until the situation is completely clear, this support is only a verbal promise, and if Leah can be my wife, it will undoubtedly make this support more solid. ”

James said this, his face was cold, "But then this matter was leaked by a spy next to the Marquis of Brynn, and it reached the ears of my brother Victor, they naturally did not allow this kind of thing to happen, and hurriedly asked people to go to the Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage, and promised that Lea would definitely be crowned queen in the future, Marquis Brynn was in a dilemma, so he could only find Master Blair, that is, your grandfather and he acted in a play, saying that you and Leah had a marriage contract, and they were not offended." ”

"When did this happen?" Kane listened a little depressed, how could he be dragged in.

"Ten years ago... I was five years old. ”

"Ten years ago?" Kane was a little speechless, "it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, after all, I was only three years old at the time, and I didn't know anything about royal feuds." ”

James smiled, "I may think so, but my brother is not, now that the war in the west is tight, the deterrent power of Marquis of Bryn is getting bigger and bigger in the empire, Victor has never been dead to Leah, so I said we might be able to be friends." ”

"I'd love to make friends, but I'm not interested in grudges. Kane said with a calm face.

"Really?" James took another sip of wine, "You may not think about yourself, but you have to think about your family, it's okay for the time being with Master Blair now, but what about in the future? Even if we can't be friends, I can kindly remind you first, Victor will never sit here and chat with you as calmly as I do, and when the time comes, as long as there is a chance, he will definitely let the Reiter family not survive!"

Kane pondered for a moment, "Your words are very convincing, but I have to think about it first, and besides, I am only here to study, and I have not thought about who to support or who to rebel against, but it doesn't affect us from becoming friends, if you really want to." ”

"You're good. James smiled, "This wisdom is rare to match, but your status determines that you are unlikely to remain neutral forever, my olive branch will be here first, come here when you want, by the way, I forgot to ask, what are you doing here?"

Kane threw the chaotic thoughts out of his mind when he heard this, "Is this an elite house?"

James nodded.

"That's right, the dean arranged for me to stay here. Kane said a little helplessly, it seems that this Auston directly threw him into a big fire pit, as the dean of the first academy of the Longling Empire, if he doesn't know the mystery of this, he doesn't believe it when he kills Kane, but he doesn't know what his intentions are.

"Hahaha!" James suddenly laughed, "It seems that we have made up our minds about this friend, come, a toast for our friendship first!"

"By the way, what the hell is going on with this elite house, why did Sife have to do it as soon as she saw me, is there anyone else here besides the three of you?"

James was still smiling, and put down the wine glass in his hand, "Elite House, as the name suggests, only the best people in the academy can live here, this is an honor, as for Sife as soon as he sees you, it is to see if you deserve to enjoy this kind of glory, there are a total of seven people here now, you are the eighth, of course, the premise is that you can settle the matter of Siffe." ”

Kane nodded in understanding, to be honest, he didn't really care about what happened before, he didn't believe that a mage would make a move on him as a junior mage, but in the future, this Siffei would still be less troublesome, "Are there any mages among these seven?"

"Yes, his name is Keeve, a junior magician, and I think you'll like her, if you don't mind her pointy ears. ”

In this way, Kane understands, this Jifu should be a member of the elf race, he now has a weird feeling about the elves because of the relationship between Xian Jier, and then he is a little tired, why is there always an elf clan in any place that has anything to do with magic, is there no decent human magician in this magic academy?

"Junior magician?" Kane had some doubts in his heart, he himself was a junior magician, and the other was only a junior magician, although the previous Sifei didn't understand the rank, but it didn't look like an intermediate level, since this elite house was claimed to be the best people, could it be that all of them were such people?

"You don't have to be surprised, I don't mean what you understand, I'm talking about qualifications rather than strength, take magicians as an example, the most powerful student in the academy is a human intermediate magician, but he has been here for more than ten years and hasn't graduated, I don't think such a person is qualified to live in!" James said with a contemptuous expression.

Kane nodded in understanding.

The next day, Kane left the elite house after getting up, preparing to go to Brin House first, mainly to deliver Blair's letter, and by the way, to visit on behalf of the Ray family, no matter what happens to him and Leah in the end, but the friendship between the Leyter family and the Gray family will not be affected.

Several people from the elite house had already met yesterday, and in addition to the previous James, Sifphi, and Mark, there were four others, namely the junior magician Kirff, the intermediate priest Abel, the light apothecary Sasha, and the assassin Polly.

The classification of pharmacists is also more complicated, but in general it is divided into two categories: light and dark, the light pharmacist refers to the pharmacist who aims to save people, and the dark pharmacist is the pharmacist who aims to kill people, and the previous Sifi belonged to the category of dark pharmacists.

The profession of assassin is a bit special, strictly speaking this is not a profession, or it is not an independent profession, usually as long as people who are proficient in assassination are collectively referred to as assassins, although this kind of thing is often disgraceful, but its role is undoubted, the empire also has a special assassin guild, they are a force to be reckoned with in the war.

Because of their special nature, the Assassins did not have a strict hierarchy like other professions, and the Assassins used medals, from the lowest to the highest, the Order of the Rose, the Order of Bauhinia, the Order of the Mandala, and the Order of Violet, but this medal was not obtained by evaluation, but by merit.

Even if you are a skilled Assassin, if you have never assassinated any big person, then you can only be considered the lowest type of Assassin, and if you have made outstanding contributions to a certain assassination, you can still be recognized by the Assassin Guild even if you are a rookie.

Although Polly has not yet received a medal, he can live here, and his strength should not be underestimated.

As for James, Kane couldn't figure out what he was studying.
