Kaye remained awkwardly silent, he lacked experience in dealing with such big people, not to mention that he wasn't Aston either, and he didn't know what to say hello to.

Asherwall didn't care about the other party's faux pas, smiled kindly, and asked Kaye to sit down. This made the boy strange, he was a must-have conversation at Pilson's banquets or taverns, and Kaye had heard a lot of it. But Asherwall was neither resentful as the legend suggests, nor like the nobles Kaye had seen before, with "I am superior" written on his face.

"I have heard that Mr. Martin was born in the Duchy of Carlton in the south, grew up under the majestic Fist Pass, and later migrated to Plzen. ”

How do I know where Aston was born. Kaye was noncommittal, but Asherwall continued: "I've never been to Boxer, what the view is from there. ”

Is this a friendship or a thin set? A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead. He could no longer remain silent when the young prince asked.

"Again, the soldiers at the checkpoint peeled everyone who came from the south with their eyes, but it was much better inside the fist level, and Carlton's oats were quite sweet. ”

Kaye was a little nervous until the other party looked unmistakable and agreed: "Indeed, in recent years, there have been more and more military spies in the Eagle Kumara, and the checkpoints are inevitably rigorous. The little mage breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he had passed through the Fist Pass when he went north. He hastened to steer the subject to the right path, lest he ask about the White Tower or Pilsen, and then he would be blind, but what was the point? Oh, by the way, Miss Edithom's invitation to Nethervan.

"Your Royal Highness, you asked your subordinates to 'invite' me to come for the sake of the ancient text in the newspaper. ”

Prince Asherwall looked at him, then smiled and said, "The scholars of the White Tower don't like vulgar clichΓ©s, and they make you laugh. That's true, and I'd like to get a translation of the ancient text...... Don't you wonder why I want to?"

"For academics, curiosity is a crutch to move forward, and for politicians, curiosity is a guillotine with a severed head. Kaye put it bluntly.

Asherwall's face was gloomy, and he nodded and sighed: "I understand. Intellectual curiosity and politics contradict you. I'm also in a constant state of conflict, starting with my father's obsolescence......"

Hey, I didn't want to hear it, don't talk to yourself, okay!Kaye was speechless, the Essin royal seemed to keep the conversation going, never cold.

"My brother was born to my father and aunt, and my mother was a nobleman from the West. I was ostracized from an early age, not because of my character or manners, but because my blood was not as 'pure' as my brother'. He said self-deprecatingly, "Actually, it's an excuse." The current Imperial Prime Minister is my aunt's husband. ”

"Wait, you just said that Emperor Xian had an eldest son with his sister, and then his sister had a husband?"

"Yes, nominal husbands and nobles have the right to enter into a relationship in the form of marriage, which is not too much. The Prince looked at Kaye with some confusion.

How do I know that your aristocratic is more than drama. The boy stopped talking, saying that there were many mistakes.

"Even so, I have never been actively hostile to my brother, and I used to have a good relationship with him, although he always spat on me. Asherwall laughed. Kaye wanted to see the hypocrisy in this, but failed, and he was like a normal man who felt sorry for his family.

"After my father's death, my position and ability made the Imperial Council see a threat. They didn't dare to let me speak in public, and they didn't even let me go back to my fiefdom and have private soldiers. It's just like you, Martin Scholar. ”

"Me?"

"yes. The youngest naturalist since the establishment of the White Pagoda. But look at your present situation, and live in an old mansion with two little servants, with a wise mind and a great amount of learning. But no one appreciates it, you think it's a coincidence?"

"What do you mean......"

"Although the scholars of the White Tower cannot inherit the fief, they still have a surname and are loyal to the family. After nearly a hundred years of intertwined roots, the upper echelons have been controlled by various forces. So, they are jealous of you. Asherwall leaned forward to let the boy see the gloom in his eyes. "With your age and achievements, you will be able to take a seat at the top of the tower, but there is no place for that. As a result, your scholarship is also rumored to be vain and useless, and to accept unwarranted ridicule and contempt. ”

Kaye was shocked, unable to tell if it was real or fake.

"But, how do those philistines understand your talent, no one has ever been determined to explain the world's one thing in a complete theory, and this requires great knowledge. As far as the reality is concerned, there are enough bachelors who know how to drill camps, but none of them are of the significance of a naturalist! Biology can open up the animal resources of the western territory, geology can be used for the expansion of the northern territory, and humanities and institutions are of great use to military operations in the south. There are a few people who can do this alone, but there are a few who can merge like you! You and I are fellow travelers, Aston. ”

Asherwall stood up and said in an excited tone: "Just as you were suppressed by the White Tower, the Imperial Council is also afraid of me, those mediocre people! If you want, there will be your seat at my table, and I will build your own bachelor's tower for you, and you will not be overwhelmed by politics and magnates!"

The echo ripples through the room, but it is blocked by the soundproofing material and does not leak out. Kaye lowered his head, his eyes filled with a complicated streamer. Edith's ancient translation was his excuse, and Aston was what he wanted, well, maybe both. The boy laughed at himself, thinking to himself, yesterday he was thinking about the nobles who had lost his investment, and today Essien's biggest target came to the door. But...... He can't say yes, not at the moment. He hasn't become a real mage yet, so it's hard to grasp the flow of fate, and Aston is really involved in the whirlpool, and he must die quickly.

"Thank you for your compliment, I will consider it carefully. Kaye replied, and the Prince showed obvious surprise, surprised that the scholar's reaction was so indifferent, that a normal scholar would be thrilled to hear this. He did not continue to preach, but changed direction.

"Do you think I'm promoting personal ambitions?"

Kaye was silent, then replied slowly, "You're going to start a civil war." ”

"Yes, civil war!" Asherwall did not shy away from admitting proudly. "But it's not for my personal title to be king or prince, but for the country. My brother also gave birth to a baby last year...... Inherited his health condition. And the ministers made up their minds to serve two foolish kings one after another! Now is not the time of the middle of the rise, and the southern eagle Kumara has become more and more belligerent and its power has swelled after several military changes. The nobles of the north, on the other hand, were so enchanted by the brilliance of gold that they forgot the threat of the dwarves. The country is on the way to decay, the power of the royal family is gradually eroded, and the dukes everywhere have different minds, and they need kings who can suppress them, not puppets who obey orders. Would you like to join me on the arduous road to revival for the sake of the land you love? ”

He looked at Kaye with burning eyes, and the boy's heart sprung up, who hasn't dreamed, riding a horse, wielding a spear, and receiving glory in front of everyone's eyes...... But he's a mage. Kaye immediately calmed down: "What does this have to do with Miss Editus?"

"I need to get out of this golden prison, and Miss Editoise is one of the leaders of the war, and she has a lot of influence, I need a reason to be close to her, and if I can participate in the war in the Tia Forest, it will turn a lot of turns. Of course, there's more to you than that. ”

I see, Kaye stood up and apologized and said, "I'm afraid I can't help you." ”

The two looked at each other for a while, and the boy secretly prepared to give an order to the muscular woman to break into the door and kill people. But Asherwall only nodded a little tiredly: "Excuse me, I'll ask Charlene to escort you back." ”

"No, I'll just go by myself, goodbye Your Highness. ”

"My door will be open for you, Aston Martin, goodbye. ”

Kaye walked out the door, glanced at Charlene, and disappeared around the street. Charlene closed the door and asked, "He actually rejected you?" (To be continued!)
