Eight o'clock in the evening.

Black Pearl Concert Hall.

The pure white dome does not add any superfluous patterns, making the whole space look more spacious and bright; The Concert Hall and the White Rose Theater, which are located across the street, are the two major art temples of the Tulum Kingdom, and are normally only open to certain groups of people.

Colin followed Tessa, led by two attendants, up to the third floor through a passage behind the scenes, and after passing through a corridor paved with soft carpets, into a private room.

Although he was no longer the turtle he had crossed over, Colin was still quite nervous at the moment, after all, it was Alan Hawthorn, the owner of this country who was rated as the second most powerful person in the continent by the Blue Bay Club of the Western Continent - second only to the Emperor of the Osike Empire.

The House of Hawthorn has ruled Tulum for more than 900 years, and these generations are even more talented, in addition to the king himself, great knights, great magicians abound, and even a magister.

……

The semi-enclosed box is located on the third floor and has the best view of the concert hall.

There were three people in it.

Besides the king were Duke Violet and the old mage Beuys Hawthorn.

Tessa bent her knees slightly and smiled, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”

Colin hurriedly bent down with the etiquette that his senior sister had already explained: "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Alan IV's broad body just stood up from the soft cushion, and he pointed to the side and said very casually, "You two sit by yourself." ”

Duke Violet and Beuys Hawthorn immediately followed suit and walked with the king to the fence of the box.

The next moment.

There was thunderous applause from below.

Alan IV stretched out his hand and waved to everyone in the concert hall, and after nearly a minute of applause, he slowly subsided before making a gesture in the direction of the stage to officially begin the concert.

It was the first time Colin had seen Alan IV, perhaps because he was fat, and the sixtie-year-old king did not look old, but rather had a ruddy complexion.

After the music started, the three of them turned to sit down.

Because the box is located on a high place and is blocked by a fence, once you sit down, the people below cannot see what is going on inside the box.

The moment Beuys Hawthorn sat down, the whole person suddenly fell down, but Duke Violet stretched out his hand to support him as if he was prepared.

The old magister took out a pill from his body with an extremely painful face, and after eating it, he gradually recovered after a while, but no matter his actions and complexion, he could not return to his previous appearance.

Only then did Colin realize that the 155-year-old Magister had been holding on all along.

Now this weakness is his normal appearance.

He suddenly felt a sense of sadness at the end of the hero.

Magisters also have old times.

Will teachers have this day too?

Colin couldn't bear to think about it any longer.

"Grandfather, it's been another year of hard work." Alan IV completely ignored the majesty of the emperor and supported Beuys Hawthorn personally.

"Don't worry, it should last another two years."

The twilight magister waved his hand, then looked over to Colin.

In an instant, all three eyes focused on Colin's body.

Being targeted by these three people, no matter who they are, will not feel good.

Colin is like a man on his back.

The old magister beckoned to him, "Son, sit down." ”

Colin hurriedly stood up, took a step forward and sat down in the place that Duke Violet had abandoned.

"I've seen Your Excellency the 'King of the Deep'."

Boyce Hawthorn, who specializes in water magic and has been on the East China Sea for decades, was given this title because of his royal blood.

But Colin didn't add honorifics like "the waves are your roar" at the end, as is customary.

For a magician who struggled to walk, there was more mockery than respect.

Beuys stroked the left side of Colin's face with his rough palm, and looked at it carefully for a moment before nodding:

"Roman has a good eye."

After a while, he looked puzzled again: "Why is your spiritual power biased towards the water system instead of the wind system?" ”

Colin instantly felt a chill down his back.

Can you see this?

You're pretending!

He didn't dare to make a mistake, and replied seriously: "The teacher didn't interfere with my meditation, I practiced it myself." ”

"Very good...... Very old, very pure water elemental breath. ”

Just as Colin was more and more frightened the more he listened, Beuys suddenly coughed a few times, and then said slowly:

"I can't instruct you now, but you can remember these words......"

Colin listened.

"Direction, filling, justice, extreme."

These four inexplicable and unrelated words made Colin stunned.

"This is the summary of my life's work on water magic, remember?"

"Direction, filling, justice, extreme." Colin repeated.

"Okay." As if he had exhausted all his strength, Beuys nodded and leaned back to the cushion, closing his eyes and paying no more attention to the others.

Alan IV had tucked enough feather pads behind Beuys before he turned to look at Colin.

"When Roman told me that he had finally found a satisfactory disciple, I was not very relieved, until your things reached my ears one by one, and I believed that his so-called satisfaction was really satisfied."

Colin didn't know how to answer for a while.

After a while, he bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has won the award, thanks to the teacher's cultivation." ”

Tessa smiled and walked behind Alan IV, reached out and pinched his shoulder: "Your Majesty, aren't you tired of standing so long today?" ”

"Don't interrupt, are you afraid that I will scare your little junior brother?" Alan IV glared back at Tessa, still enjoying the massage.

Colin was somewhat surprised to find that the senior sister did not even use honorifics when addressing the king, and was more casual than when she was next to the teacher.

Alan IV patted the back of Tessa's hand and told her to stop the massage and sit down beside her, then was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked Colin:

"There are a total of 112 countries in the Western Continent, and there is only one Oshik Empire in the Northern Continent, if you were to choose, where would you attack first?"

Colin was stunned for a moment by this mindless question.

Then he shook his head: "Don't attack any of them." ”

"Why?"

"I can't beat it." Colin Road.

"Hmm." Alan IV nodded, and asked again, "Then what if the other party takes the initiative to call?" What to do? ”

Colin thought for a moment and said honestly, "I don't know. ”

Alan IV was not offended by this straightforward answer, but bowed his head again and continued to ask:

"And what if you knew they were going to invade Tulum in 20 years?"

Colin didn't think much time and replied: "Speed up the construction, make weapons, accumulate grain and grass, train soldiers and horses, and recuperate." ”

"Don't you take the initiative?" Alan pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and asked, "For example, send people to sabotage and sow discord." ”

"It depends." Colin thought for a moment: "Our own strength is the foundation of everything, on the contrary, once these methods are not used well, it will only make the opponent perceive our weakness in advance." ”

"You think Tulum is weak?"

"It's just a metaphor, pardon me, Your Majesty." Colin lowered his head slightly.

"You're right, Tulun is weak, weaker than the Blue Alliance of the Western Continent, and weaker than the Oshik Empire. If any of them decide to invade, we will surely be defeated. ”

Alan IV said in a deep voice: "The current peace is largely due to mutual containment and the deterrence of your teacher. ”

Colin didn't care much about this kind of thing before, but after becoming a disciple of Roman Sagan, he inevitably thought about Tulum's future.

No matter how powerful the Magister is, he is only one person, and he still seems too small in front of an entire empire.

The Oshik Empire has seven Magisters, and they will not be afraid of Roman Sagan in group fights.

However, the problem is that once Tulun is gone, and Roman Sagan is not dead, Oshik, who has experienced the attrition of the national war, will not only have to guard against the Blue Alliance, which is not much different in strength, but also face the strongest Magister who no longer cares about face and concentrates on lurking to wreak havoc, which is not acceptable to the Emperor in any case.

After saying this, Alan IV let out a long sigh, as if he had lost interest in the concert before him:

"I'll sleep for a while, and you're free."

With that, he leaned over Beuys and closed his eyes.

Before Colin could react, Alan IV on the other side had already begun to snore slightly.

This king should be too spontaneous.

But it's no wonder that Duke Violet is a great knight, and he and his senior sister have mental power, while Alan IV is just an ordinary person, and the toss of the whole day is really unbearable.

Colin only had time to greet the Duke of Violet on the side: "Uncle Fairmont." ”

Fairmont Hawthorn smiled, "Your Majesty seems to have a good impression of you. ”

"Your Majesty is tolerant." Colin didn't dare to talk nonsense, who knew that this fat king really slept and faked sleep.

Just then, the music stopped.

The first piece of music is over.

"I remember you said you liked the harp, right?" The Duke asked.

"Hmm...... Well. Colin mumbled.

"That's right, the second scene is Veronica's harp solo, you can listen to it and give some advice." The Duke said.
