Of course, the emperor knew the young man of Muhashebesi's house. I've seen it a few times nearly a month ago. Although the old emperor's memory is not yet unforgettable, it is no problem to recognize his face. As long as he has met a few times, he can remember the background information that the other party has said or his cronies have mentioned. If you forget, you must be playing dumb.

So the Emperor was sure that Baron Mamoud had not brought the magician in. However, he did not speak first, but sat on the throne and watched the play quietly.

The two men who entered the chamber stopped at just the right place, bowed, and signed up for their own numbers. At this time, everyone also realized that the protagonist of this meeting did not appear.

Crown Prince Nawaf? During his tenure as Prime Minister of the Empire, Kazarnia was the dominant figure in political affairs. The emperor is like an old man who can only affix seals and signatures, and entrust everything to his son. It is only when people ask him that he selectively answers some questions. But most of the time, the emperor left the decision to the prime minister of his choice.

Seeing that the protagonist of one of the topics did not appear in this meeting, Crown Prince Nawaf asked unhappily: "Ma Mu Deqing, what about the distinguished guests invited by His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

"Your Highness, Grand Magician Tripwood went back because of the guards at the main gate of the palace." Baron Mamoud did not change his face and dug a pit for people to jump, pushing the blame out.

However, the crown prince did not break out directly, or it was different from his calculations. So he calmly said, "I can't listen to your opinion and set the tone of a thing right or wrong. Father, can you summon the captain of the personal guard guarding the door and ask him for details. ”

The only person who could order the Legion of the Guards was the Emperor. If someone gives an order indiscriminately, and the Guards Legion obeys, it will be a great crime that can be raised to the level of treason, and it will be a crime for both sides. Even the crown prince couldn't and didn't dare to cross this barrier, so he asked the old emperor who was sitting next to him without saying a word.

Of course, there is no need for the emperor to stop this kind of thing and suppress the prestige of the crown prince. So he nodded, kind of agreed. Soon, the leader of the guard squadron guarding the door, led by the guard guarding the council hall, came to everyone.

The crown prince, after telling him about the magician and what Baron Mamoud had to say, asked, "Soldier, why did you block our invited guests from entering the palace?" ”

The captain of the personal guard squadron lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am just abiding by my duty and not letting any danger enter the palace and threaten your nobles. The magician was wearing quite powerful magical equipment, and I asked for it to be removed, but he was unwilling to comply. According to the rules, I can consider such a person an assassin and take it down. ──”

The captain of the guard squadron paused in his speech. Although he lowered his head, he still turned his head and looked at the ministers and nobles on both sides,

But before we could capture him, he fled in fear. I can only say, Your Highness, why would he not comply with the disarmament demand, if that man really did not have the slightest ill will. In this way, we can ensure the safety of your nobles; And as long as he follows the rules in the palace, we will ensure his safety. But he chose to run away. ”

The crown prince was visibly outraged, and in an aria-like voice, he angrily rebuked: "Impudent! What a rude person! Father, there is no need for us to cooperate with such a person who does not respect your name, and even reasonably suspects that he has bad intentions. I suggest that we not only prohibit the banking business from being carried out in the Imperial City, but also prohibit it in its entirety. Also, a warrant for the mage to be issued and he will be arrested and brought back for questioning. ”

Acting so excited about his son, Emperor Armin? Kazarnia had only one reason in mind, and that was related to his fourteenth son.

A mere wrestling between two archdukes, before there is an order of their own explicit prohibition to intervene, is not enough for a crown prince to risk something or something to do to them. But if it is a succession dispute between princes, then nothing is impossible.

And a rumor that everyone knows, but everyone finds it hard to believe, that magician is friendly with the fourteenth son. Even if the relationship between the two is not so good, the magician is a person who is equal to his fourteenth son, which is something that the captain of his own guard has certified.

Then the problem arises, in politics, as long as there are common interests, it is easy to form an implicit common front. There is no need for everyone to speak out about alliances and the like, and sometimes this tacit understanding is even more difficult for political opponents to guard against.

Therefore, the crown prince he chose wanted to suppress the magician first, and then cut off the possible help of the fourteenth son in his political career. This was the only possibility that the old emperor could think of.

However, this time, Emperor Armin did not plan to follow the crown prince's train of thought. He opened Chrysostom and said, "The bank's business belongs to the church of the goddess of gold coins, not to the magician. Let's talk about this matter separately. ”

As for the matter of setting the tone of the magician's identity, the old emperor didn't mention it. For any magician, if the other party commits a crime in the Imperial City, he will be caught on the spot. What to do with it depends on the idea of the nobles.

But if the other party returned to Estali, a city where magicians gathered, the nature would be completely different.

Will the magicians deal with it impartially and hand over those who have committed the crimes of the Empire? If it weren't for the fact that the evidence of the crime was clear and the crime was heinous, don't even think about it.

The magicians gathered in that city were all people who came for the Great Library, which was protected by the Six Towers. They are just seekers of knowledge, coming from far and wide, and not all of them are from the Gwana Empire.

Among them, there are many mortal powerhouses who are strong enough to stand alone against the legions, but most of them are ordinary magicians. Relying on combat skills, you may be able to fight three in one fight, but you will certainly not be able to deal with an organized army.

Such a group of people, when they want to resist the unfair treatment of the powerful, can only hold together. This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the hand of the aristocratic forces to reach into Estari.

The nobles did not always act according to the law; Many times, it is in the way of trampling on the will of others, and doing the convenience of nobility. When this happens, the magicians of the holy city of Estali will unite, because no one wants to be abandoned as a group of fellows when they become victims of such evil deeds. The best way to do this is to step up when your peers are in need.

If it is really the perpetrator of the crime, and give the definite evidence to the Wizards Association, they will naturally hand over the criminal. But if not, they only want to rely on power to arrest people, such as sending troops into Estali to hunt down so-called 'human criminals'. The magic tower that stands like a forest in that city will become a nightmare for all armies.

Attacking a magic tower in normal times will result in heavy casualties. To attack the Holy City of Magicians, who unite with the outside world, all the generals and military scientists in this world will spread their hands. Whoever gives the order, who stands on the front line. The people who gave the order are dead, and the living can go home. Or everyone is dead, and the problem of not being able to go home will be saved.

And in the eyes of the old emperor, the magician who returned to Estali was like this. Since people have gone back and want to move him, it is useless to find more and more beautiful reasons. So he didn't take the crown prince's words at all. It is one thing to support this son, and quite another to support this son to die; In order to support this son, he went to die by himself, of course, it is not the same thing!

Crown Prince Nawaf wanted to refute his father's opinion, but this father was an emperor. When his father also communicated with him in private, on the stage, the two would never directly reject each other's opinions, or express objections.

An emperor, an imperial prime minister, and a father and son, if they go toe-for-tat, they will only make the courtiers see jokes. More severely, it will make them think differently. No matter what it turns out to become, it will be more than worth the loss for the royal family.

So when the old emperor euphemistically expressed that the affairs of the bank were not dominated by the magician, he knew that the matter had deviated from the original direction. So should we change directions and chase hard, or find the bottom of the stairs?

How could the old emperor not guess what his son was thinking? But he didn't plan to let go of the matter in front of him. Glancing at the few people standing in front of him, Emperor Armin beckoned and said, "The young man of Muhashebexi's family, come forward." ”

Hearing this, Efren took a few steps forward, just past the captain of the personal guard squadron who had come over to report, and Baron Mamoud, who had been leading the way. He bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

"What do you say about your clothes?"

"This is the first bank in Estali, the uniform worn by the clerks. By Fen? Maid? Designed by His Excellency the Grand Wizard of Tikal. In the bank, the elves who served Her Majesty, the goddess of gold coins, all changed into such clothes. However, it was not only the elves of the bank, but also the deacons of the Marquis of Balan, who also wore such clothes. Efren told the truth.

One of the great advantages of a suit is that it is easier to put on and take off than the traditional aristocratic clothing of the Midi. So staying in that house, the deacons of the Marquis also made for themselves, or ordered a few suits. However, the narrow skirt of the women's suit was not so convenient for activities, so the waitresses did not change it as their daily work clothes.

The Emperor looked at it for a while, then said, "Nice design." Later, ask your father to bring you and the Saviles with you. Stand down now. ”

House of Baron Saville, royal tailor. Calling such a person, it seems that the old emperor has some thoughts about the strange costumes of the young man of the Muhashe Bessi family. After all, when this emperor was young, he was not a man who kept to himself. But as most people know, it's probably just an excuse.

At this time, the crown prince said: "Since my father has commanded it, you should all retreat and prepare." There are other important topics to be discussed today. ”

Crown Prince Nawaf descended the steps, and by the way, he took the blame for holding the captain of the guard squadron and letting the magician run away or forcing him away. If this matter is really discussed, it will be a big trouble for the crown prince.

After revealing this, the father and son have a tacit understanding to take a step back. The old emperor nodded, as if agreeing with his son's instructions, and also as if signaling the other ministers to put forward the follow-up proposals.
