Chapter 63: A Trivial Matter in the Royal Capital
The Mage Reading Club has ended another event.
The curve algorithm that Luo Ling introduced to you just now is of great help to the precise magic configuration, and the following mages have a very heated discussion.
Today, the number of participants in the book club has been several times that of before. Since the Tower of China gained a fiefdom, he has defeated his opponents one after another in competitions, and even won against a great magician. The book club hosted by the Master of the Tower of China is also becoming more and more attractive. Moreover, after Luo Ling came here, she gave full play to her expertise as an associate professor of the Department of Mathematics, and taught everyone many things that Xiao Chen and Li Jia couldn't understand in simple terms, plus her beautiful image and unique temperament, which was very popular among the member teachers. Now, she has replaced Tasia as the goddess in the hearts of many male mages.
Seeing that everyone's discussion was endless, Luo Ling clapped her hands and said, "Everyone's discussion can continue as early as dinner for a while, but I have something to announce here." ”
The noisy venue quickly fell silent. The nearly thirty or so mages attending the meeting today immediately sat down like students and listened carefully to Luo Ling's words: "As you know, the territory of our Tower of China is in Montenegro. The book club is preparing to host our first outing, inviting member mages to Montenegro. In Montenegro, we will arrange exchanges with local mages and everyone. We have some mages there who are more theoretically advanced than me, and you won't be disappointed. ”
Master Feng Qi was the first to respond: "Your Excellency Luo Ling, I am willing to participate. Now that your fiefdom has just arrived, if there's anything we need to do there, please do whatever you want. ”
"yes. Another middle-aged mage also said, "Everyone knows how many opportunities and benefits the reading club will give us. Who here hasn't gotten new cultivation methods and learning methods here? There are several interesting new spells alone, right? If you have the opportunity to repay the Tower of China and Master Luo Ling, it would be the best. Otherwise, wouldn't we just be the ones who take advantage?"
These words were reasonable, and all the mages nodded one after another.
"However, I won't go this time, I still have affairs in the royal capital, and the three mages Li Jia, Xiao Dui and Tang Feng will send you to Montenegro properly. ”

After dinner, after Li Jia stood beside Luo Ling and saw everyone off, he asked, "This time, let's leave the royal capital with the mage, and let many people from the business group, intelligence group and escort team also evacuate together, is it because the king is dying?"
Luo Ling walked back to the study and said, "Well, the recent situation in the royal capital is a bit weird, on the one hand, there have been rumors that the king's body is no longer good. On the other hand, on the question of heirs, he has not yet had a word on it. There's a good chance that we're going to mess up here. Our roots are in Montenegro, and there is no need to wade into troubled waters this time. Therefore, it is also a good thing to take the opportunity of inviting the mage to Montenegro to streamline the staff. ”
Li Jia whispered: "But I heard that Liu Pengfei has been very close to the princess these days, and he seems to be getting deeper and deeper." ”
The two returned to the study, Luo Ling closed the door and said, "Be specific." ”
"Selinda heard a couple of rumors, you know, she's not very keen on going out socially, but as a nobleman, she's more informed than we are. One is that the princess often participates in various activities between nobles with Liu Pengfei.
"I understand that, to put it bluntly, these gatherings are used by the princess's henchmen to win over the noble officials, exchange news, and reach cooperation. ”
"The second is that in the princess's inner circle, a very knowledgeable military advisor has appeared, and he has given her a lot of suggestions. At the heart of this is the statement that a crown is made up of swords and staffs. ”
Luo Ling smiled, "Isn't this the version of the magic world where power comes out of the barrel of a gun? This person is Liu Pengfei, and he can't run." ”
"The last one is that Liu Pengfei and the princess are getting along. It's just that kind of good. ”
Luo Ling paced back and forth in front of her desk, "At that time, we acquiesced to Liu Pengfei and the forces on the princess's side to maintain contact in order to maintain a balance. Unexpectedly, it was only a few days, and he staked himself up. This is our carelessness, and it seems that we really need to pay close attention to what he is up to. ”
"Don't you just ask him?"
"Do you think he'll tell the truth? A lot of things are better to see with your own eyes. ”
"Then you're going to check it out? I've heard that it's been very popular for ladies to run salons lately. This kind of activity seems to be deeply loved by Liu Pengfei, and almost every one is missed. ”
The office of the Tower of China receives many invitations to banquets, balls, hunting, salons, and magical academic events every day. Luo Ling usually participates selectively, and mainly in academic conferences.
However, this time she wanted to observe Liu Pengfei's actions, so she flipped through a stack of invitations for a long time and chose the salon held by the Marquise de Grosso in the Marquis's Mansion tonight.
———————————————
That night, a carriage carried Luo Ling and Xiao Du to the house of the Marquise de Grosso.
Xiao Du has now become Luo Ling's special secretary, and for some reason, Luo Ling tied her to her side and sent her around. However, even if Xiao Duan sometimes dared not to buy Xiao Chen's account, he didn't dare to disobey Luo Ling's words. She naturally felt that if she went against this woman, she would end badly.
It is said that this salon itself is all tricks made up by Liu Pengfei. Twilight said.
"Yes, you know a lot about the history of Earth. This is not Europe that experienced the Renaissance in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It's still in the style of the early Middle Ages. Don't you hear the king's daily saying, 'Sword is bone, armor is flesh'? Hunting, polo, and even slave fighting were the most popular activities. ”
Luo Ling and Xiao Du did not dress up as mages, but each wore low-key aristocratic dresses. Since it is an unannounced visit, of course, it is necessary to keep a low profile.
The Marquise welcomed them at the door of the drawing-room. She is in her forties, not very beautiful but also has a bit of temperament, she was very surprised when she saw Luo Ling: "Your Excellency Luo Ling, it is really rare, to have you to participate in my salon today, it really makes this place flourishing." Today you will definitely be the protagonist here. ”
"Marquise, I'm just out to relax while studying magic. Don't be alarmed, you know, being a high-level mage can sometimes make us seem too aggressive. I've heard that your salon has extraordinary taste, and I just want to feel the atmosphere. ”
"Looks like you'd just like to hear and take a look? Of course, no problem, I'll arrange the best location for you. Today, a famous bard from the north has come to perform here, and Master Liu Pengfei from Guita has also brought his works to share with you, and you will definitely feel that the trip is worthwhile. ”
