Chapter 258 [The Academy's Attitude]

Chen Daolin drove to the imperial capital with Carmen, and this night was a huge change, and he experienced several struggles on the line of life and death. When the two were on the road, Chen Daolin naturally felt that Dean Carmen's attitude had changed slightly.

In the past, Carmen was very kind to herself, but it was a standard of love and respect for emerging young talents from the head of the academy. And after last night's crisis, along the way, Chen Daolin felt that although Carmen still spoke to him in that cold tone, his occasional words also revealed a little more concern and closeness to himself.

Apparently this was because he had not left her alone in a moment of crisis the previous night, and Carmen had been impressed by such faithfulness and trustworthiness - it is not known whether or not some of them were because he had stripped the demistress of her clothes.

In short, Chen Daolin naturally let it rot in his stomach, and never dared to mention half a word again.

Carmen carefully asked Chen Daolin how he killed the two magicians along the way, and asked Chen Daolin to carefully explain the process of the battle twice. Then Dean Carmen sighed and looked at Chen Daolin deeply: "You are a person, your luck is extremely good, and your courage is also extremely great! ”

Chen Daolin smiled, and seemed a little embarrassed: "At that time, the situation was critical, and there was no choice, if I didn't fight, I would die, and I was lucky." ”

"It's not luck. Carmen looked at Chen Daolin with a strange expression: "At this life-and-death juncture, between fighting, it takes not only courage, but also experience. Vision, and momentary judgment, grasp the sensitivity of the fighter. An ordinary person would never be able to do this. Only people who have wandered through the life and death situation many times, and have experienced the line of life and death many times, can do this kind of process...... Darling, you must have been through a lot of things before, right?"

Chen Daolin was speechless for a while.

If you think about it carefully, in the nearly one year since I came to the Roland world, I have changed a lot.

From an original cowardice. A little grassroots otaku who steals and cheats, and gradually transforms into a brave person who dares to give it a go in the face of death.

has experienced many life and death before, and it is true that his temperament and temperament have been turned upside down, and the whole person seems to have taken on a new look after transformation.

Think about it. After coming to this Roland world, it was really a lot of disasters, and he almost died at the hands of orcs several times in the frozen forest, and then ran to the human world with Barossa, first met the Stone Lady and her group in the small courtyard, and almost died. Then he went south, ruined the marriage of the Liszt family, and became a shield. He was almost killed by Patriarch Liszt. eloped with Rodelle, and then went to the East and overseas, and dealt with the pirates several times, which can be described as a life of nine deaths. Later left Alcatraz. He fell into the hands of pirates again, and almost perished with that damn one-eyed.

took Xia Xia and the two of them to drift on the sea in a boat, and they almost fell into a desperate situation, and they were already in despair. Just sit and wait to die......

An ordinary person is considered a lifetime...... No, you won't be able to do so much in a few lifetimes. But let myself meet it all at once for more than half a year.

If you say that you were originally a rusty and rotten knife, but in the past half a year, you have been repeatedly quenching and sharpening the knife, and it can be regarded as finally sharpening a little edge.

At this moment, when Carmen said such words, Chen Daolin was also moved in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at himself, and he was also emotional.

"If you kill those two mages, you can always find out their identities. All magicians always have an identity registered in the Magic Guild, and I, as the senior deacon of the Guild, also have the authority to check these things. Carmen said lightly.

Chen Daolin nodded.

"But I have a word of advice for you. ”

"Dean, please. ”

"Although you killed two mid-level mages, it is all opportunistic and not your true skill. If you fight for real magic cultivation, you may not be able to take care of any of them. So...... If this record of killing two people is really put on your head, given your age, and your recent limelight...... I'm worried that you are too eye-catching, you should understand the truth of Mu Xiu Yulin, you are young, it may not be a good thing to be in the limelight too much, and it will inevitably cause people to be jealous, and in the future, I am afraid that there will be some people who are not long-sighted and eager to become famous to come to challenge you and find you trouble. This kind of thing can still be saved......

Speaking of this, Carmen looked at Chen Daolin and deliberately paused to speak.

Chen Daolin immediately said: "What you said is that I know that my strength is not good, and it is pure luck to kill those two mages, even if I can't say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it." I think...... It's better to keep this matter a secret, so as not to get into trouble. I'm young, and I've been in the limelight a lot lately, so I'm really grateful that you've thought about me, Dean......"

Carmen looked at Chen Daolin carefully, trying to judge whether what he said was true, but saw Chen Daolin's eyes clear and sincere, Carmen couldn't help but nodded, and his senses for Chen Daolin rose a few points. I only think that this young boy is really a little interesting: if he were to change to other young people who are frivolous and love vanity, I am afraid that I will be able to publicize this matter to the whole world! What an amazing achievement it is to kill two middle-level mages in one battle! As long as it spreads, it will immediately become famous all over the world!

Chen Daolin is young, and he doesn't covet this kind of false name, it seems that he is the kind of person who can calm down and do things. This kind of young people who are willing to calm down and do things in a down-to-earth manner are now becoming fewer and fewer.

In fact, Carmen didn't think about it much: Chen Daolin didn't want to be too showy. But there is another important reason for agreeing so happily: fear of retaliation!

If he deliberately publicized it, and also hyped that he killed the other party's two magicians, such a naked hatred practice, Chen Daolin is not so stupid!

"Externally, let's just say that I killed those two mages. Carmen seemed to smile, glanced sideways at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "You won't slander me in your heart that this is a deception and a stealing of fame." Stealing your reputation, right?"

"How could I think that!" Chen Daolin hurriedly said, "Dean, this is to help me prevent trouble! If I don't understand this truth, I will be cultivated by you for so long in vain!"

......

The two finally drove to the outside of the imperial capital.

At curfew, the gates are closed, but after Carmen reveals his identity, where will the city guards stop such privileged people?

And Carmen immediately took Chen Daolin into the city, and then went straight to the palace! When they arrived outside the palace gate, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city saw that Carmen had arrived late at night, and if they dared to slack off, a commander soon arrived.

Carmen doesn't talk much nonsense either. I only told the commander that he had something important to meet the emperor. The other party originally wanted to shirk it, and this kind of thing of meeting the emperor in the middle of the night was a little inappropriate after all.

But Carmen then coldly threw it over: "I was attacked and killed by many chaotic parties last night, and I almost lost my life. When the emperor knows about it at dawn, I'm afraid he will ask for your head. ”

Upon hearing that even the dean of the magic academy had been assassinated, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was immediately shocked, and hurriedly went in to tell the truth, and in a few moments, more Royal Forest Army came to the gate of the Imperial City and opened the gate. escorted Carmen and Chen Daolin into the palace.

At this time, it was already before dawn, and His Majesty the Emperor had not yet gotten up. But as soon as he heard that such a great event had happened, the emperor quickly got up.

Chen Daolin and Carmen were taken to a hall in the palace and waited for a few moments, when court attendants entered. Trembling Announcement: His Majesty the Emperor invited Dean Carmen to speak.

As for Chen Daolin, although he is also quite appreciated by the emperor, this appreciation is far from enough to be compared with a big man like Carmen. The court attendant told Chen Daolin to let him wait here, as for whether the emperor would see him. When to see him - wait!

Carmen went to meet the emperor, and Chen Daolin waited here alone. He fought all night, and he was indeed tired, and his mental strength was exhausted, and he was hungry and thirsty, so he asked the court attendant to get some food to pad his stomach, and he almost fell asleep on the chair.

When he woke up, the sun outside the window had already shone overhead, Chen Daolin was clever, and quickly jumped up from the chair, wiped the corners of his mouth, and still had some saliva.

At this time, he found that he was not alone in this lounge.

Carmen didn't know when she had returned, and was standing at a window not far from Chen Daolin, with her back to Chen Daolin, staring out of the window, stunned.

"Awake?"

Carmen didn't look back, but threw a soft word.

Chen Daolin smiled embarrassedly and tidied up his clothes: "I don't know why, I actually fell asleep." ”

Carmen turned around, stared at Chen Daolin a few times with a pair of eyes, and then smiled lightly: "You are indeed tired." You've exhausted all your magic from those things last night, and you're proud to be able to hold on without falling. ”

After a pause, she smiled again, "Are you hungry?" I'll have someone bring you something to eat. ”

Chen Daolin touched his stomach and said with a wry smile: "I'm really hungry." ”

Carmen nodded, walked to the door and opened the door, whispered something outside, then turned back, walked straight to Chen Daolin, found a chair and sat down, and looked at Chen Daolin levelly.

Chen Daolin suddenly reacted, Carmen's outfit was a little different.

She had changed into a new outfit, the bright red robe she liked to wear most on weekdays. And sitting closer, Chen Daolin smelled a faint fragrance on Carmen's body after bathing, and the tips of Carmen's hair were still a little damp, obviously during the time she was sleeping, she had actually taken a shower and changed her clothes.

Over here...... But the palace!

Carmen noticed Chen Daolin's eyes, shook his head and smiled: "I have some personal relations with the queen, and I occasionally come to the palace to accompany her for a few days on weekdays, so she has my clothes there, but you are ...... I fought in the middle of the night last night, do you want someone to arrange for you to ......?"

Chen Daolin laughed: "The so-called stinky man stinky man, you don't need to take a bath, stinky man, it's nothing to stink." ”

After a pause, he looked at Carmen seriously: "Dean, have you seen Your Majesty?"

Carmen's brow furrowed, then let go again, and sighed, "I've seen it." ”

Looking at Carmen's expression, it was a little strange, as if he was a little stunned, which couldn't help but make Chen Daolin a little surprised.

Carmen then smiled slightly, "You must have a lot of questions in mind, don't you? I think you're the most curious right now." I must want to know why I broke into the palace overnight to tell the emperor about my assassination......"

Chen Daolin grabbed his hair: "You are the dean of the academy, and if a person of your status is assassinated, you naturally have to report to the emperor in a hurry, so ......"

"I can't help it. Carmen shook her head: "No wonder, this is your merit, young people know to keep their mouth shut and not talk nonsense." That's the plus, and I don't blame you. However, now there are only you and me here, and if you have anything to say, you might as well not hide it from me. ”

Chen Daolin was stunned for a moment. Cai said: "Dean...... I ......"

"You saved my life last night, so I don't have to hide it from you. Carmen smiled faintly: "Actually...... In terms of Prince Shiloh's attitude, you should have guessed a few points. He can't wait to stay out of it, just because I am afraid that my assassination has something to do with the position of the crown prince!"

Chen Daolin's heart sank. He couldn't have imagined that Carmen would take the initiative to say these things to himself.

"Regarding the matter of Lichu, all the forces in the empire are in a hurry, but although everyone is in a hurry, they must also be restrained. At most, it is the emperor who wrote on the book to establish a prince early. But few people dare to speak out about who they are. After all, this is a royal matter, and this issue is too sensitive. Darling, do you know why?"

Chen Daolin thought for a while. "I want to...... Probably because this time the reserve is an event in an abnormal state. If it is a normal standing reserve. The person who established the prince was the son of the emperor, and it was normal for the ministers below to establish whoever did not appoint him. But now that the emperor has no children, several candidates are either his younger brother or his distant relatives - if I were the emperor, I am afraid that none of these people would be the proud candidates in his heart. Who doesn't want to pass on the family business to his son's own son? Who is willing to give away the country that he has worked hard to maintain for decades to outsiders? Therefore, the emperor's current mind must be extremely complicated, if there are too many buildings at this moment, and if the emperor openly writes that the emperor will not set up water, it will cause the emperor's great disgust: I am not dead yet, you are so enthusiastic to help and want to give my country to outsiders?!

Therefore, now the ministers of the empire can only write to the emperor to establish the prince, but they dare not build the emperor to establish anyone.

After all, the crown prince is the foundation of a country, and if he does not establish a prince for a long time, he will shake the foundation of his rule and make the hearts of the people below unstable. It can be said that he is just thinking about the country and doing his duty as a courtier.

Whoever can be set up or not, that is the emperor's power, if the courtiers say too much, they will show their selfishness. ”

When Chen Daolin said this, Carmen nodded and glanced at Chen Daolin deeply: "There is some truth in what you said...... I didn't expect that you still have some political opinions. ”

Chen Daolin thought to himself, although I have never seen this kind of thing in the real world, but what kind of court dramas, film and television dramas, novels and stories such as seizing the heir, Lichu, etc., I don't know how much I have watched, even if I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs run.

But then Carmen smiled faintly: "Most people don't dare to talk about who to set up." But the emperor always has to ask the opinions of several people about the matter of the emperor's establishment of the prince. Others dare not comment on this matter, but there are a few people's opinions, but His Majesty must seriously consider it. ”

Chen Daolin nodded: "I understand." His Majesty must also refer to the attitudes of several of the most important figures in the empire, such as the prime minister, the army boss, the leader of the nobility, or something......"

"I mean...... Among those people was me. Carmen said lightly.

β€œ...... Belch...... Huh?"

Chen Daolin was really stunned at this time.

The emperor wanted to refer to Carmen's opinion?

This...... It seems a little strange.

Who is Carmen, she is the number one person in the Academy of Magic.

Yes, that's right. The branch dean of the Academy of Magic, even if he looks at the empire, is a great man, the leader of the magic world, the leader of the academy, and a powerful magician himself, such a person can cause an earthquake by stomping his feet.

But the magician...... It seems that he has never been involved in such "national affairs" as the royal crown prince.

Shouldn't magicians not be involved in worldly affairs, and not fight for power? Not to mention Carmen, who is indifferent, how could she participate in the establishment of the royal crown? and the emperor ...... Why should I value her opinion?

Carmen looked at Chen Daolin and said lightly: "First, I am the Head of Hogwarts. As you know, the Academy of Magic has never had a dean, and according to the imperial decree, the dean of the Academy of Magic can only be the emperor himself, so the future emperor will also take over the title of dean of the academy. Moreover, the Academy of Magic has always been an important piece of the puzzle of royal power! If the future new emperor wants to continue to firmly envelop the Academy of Magic, and wants to make the Academy of Magic respect for his orders, then the premise is that the candidate for this emperor cannot be hated by the Academy of Magic. I'm the Head of Hogwarts Branches, and I represent the attitude of the Hogwarts Branches, and the Hogwarts Branches almost represent the attitude of the Wizardry Academy. Not to mention...... I must have been able to become the head of Hogwarts because of the full support of the Tulip family. So...... My attitude, most likely, also vaguely represents the views of some tulip families. ”

"Hmm. Chen Daolin noddedβ€”there was some truth in saying this.

"However, if it is said that the emperor is a prince, it is not necessarily true that he should pay attention to the opinions of the magic academy because of this. Carmen said lightly: "The royal prince, the involvement is too big, it is related to the future of a country, in fact, the magic academy will never take the initiative to participate in it, anyone who chooses, the magic academy never expresses its opinion, so ......"

Chen Daolin smiled bitterly: "You confused me, ...... in the end?"

"The Academy of Magic never expressed its opinion in the past, because the previous generations of imperial power were all passed from father to son, and they were passed on normally. But this time it is different, it is passed from brother to brother, or even to distant relatives. At this time, the Academy of Magic will not be as unoriented as usual. The candidate for the new emperor will naturally have the difference of intimacy and estrangement. Carmen whispered, "I'm not afraid to sue you, until last night, I had always belonged to Prince Shiloh." ”

"Ahh
