As the sun sets, one of the best restaurants in Linfeng City was chartered by a certain big man in the City Lord's Mansion tonight.

Everyone in the restaurant is in good spirits at this moment, and they are doing their best to provide the best service to the two distinguished guests.

At the door of a box on the top floor of the restaurant, a man and a woman were guarding the door like door gods, with gloomy expressions.

They were Reinhardt and Yuna.

"That...... Two adults. ”

The waiter of the restaurant brought the dishes to the booth opposite the box, and said cautiously, "We have prepared dinner for you too, you see?" ”

Although they were only the subordinates of the two adults in the box, they also had to eat.

Unless they are bodyguards with strict rules and relatively low status, generally speaking, they will quickly cope with a meal in the box where they can see it, and they will not only fulfill their duties as a caretaker but not delay dinner.

“…… Put it there. Reinhardt's voice was low.

Yuna didn't speak, but she also stood in the doorway and didn't move.

At this time, his master was having a private meeting with the opposite sex alone in the box - this fact made both of them upset, how could they still be in the mood to eat?

An inexplicably suppressed resentment came to his face, and the attendant shuddered, and hurriedly retreated.

This state is not good, you have to keep a normal heart, a normal heart! Reinhardt took two deep breaths, trying to clear the distractions from his mind.

In order not to make the atmosphere outside too embarrassing, he diverted his attention and accosted Yuna on the side:

"I didn't expect the white raven I met in the morning to be you, my name is Reinhardt, Your Highness's personal knight."

Yuna replied flatly: "Yuna Aska, the master's personal maid, occasionally does combat work. ”

"Miss Yuna and Nolen must be very close, right?"

He asked, "It's a bit abrupt, but I want to ask what kind of person is Lord Nolan?" ”

"What kind of people?" Yuna thought for a moment, "I don't know what to say.

"He's gentle, kind, and smart, and although he can seem a little wooden at times, that's probably one of his strengths......

When she fell into the memory, the corners of the girl's mouth curled slightly, and Reinhardt's heart was slightly touched, and she sighed:

"Looks like Evelyn is right, you do like him quite a bit."

Yuna was stunned for a moment, and then turned her face away: "As a personal maid, it is natural for me to be single-minded with my master." ”

"Is it just a valet maid?"

Reinhardt said softly, "If your master hugs another woman in the future, will you sincerely bless him and continue to be devoted to him?" ”

If it was just a pure personal maid, of course, he wouldn't have such a non-sensitive thought, but he guessed that Yuna did.

Because she is the white raven of Linfeng City, with her talent and potential, she probably won't be willing to become a personal maid.

Sure enough, hearing this, Yuna's calm expression changed, and she said coldly, "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally." Reinhardt said slowly.

"I heard that His Excellency Noren is not married yet, and as a legendary alchemist, he will definitely marry a wife with a very good birth and appearance in the future, right?"

"Are you referring to Her Highness Rosaria?" Yuna asked rhetorically.

"No...... I'm just making assumptions. Reinhardt's tone froze.

"Do you like Her Highness Rosaria?"

“…… It doesn't matter. ”

"Does it really not matter?" Yuna was silent for a few seconds, "If it had been before, I might have felt the same way. ”

"And now?"

"It's certainly important to be able to figure out what you're thinking."

"And just as important, I think it's about believing in the other person's heart." ”

"Trust the other person's heart?"

"I was a little irritated at first, but I figured it out."

Yuna continued, "I believe that even if His Highness had a wrong idea, he didn't, and that would be enough. ”

Rosaria suddenly leaned next to Nolan in a seemingly intimate gesture and extended an invitation to him, and Nolan finally agreed.

Skipping a dinner party and only having a private date with two people, such an invitation is ambiguous, right?

Master, how could you say yes?

Such a fact did make her a little depressed, but after thinking about it carefully, maybe she had misunderstood.

With Noren's slow-burning character, he rejected all the temptations he had at the beginning, how could he be easily seduced by a certain person who met him for the first time?

Just because Rosaria is prettier and nobler? She believes that Nolan is not such a person.

"Who do you think is wrong?" Reinhardt, however, could not hear anyone say anything bad about Rosaria, and immediately warned.

"Your Highness is just discussing business with His Excellency Nolen, please don't make unfounded speculations!"

The two of them had a private meeting and discussed business matters, why didn't they talk about business at the dinner party?

Yuna pursed her lips, and the scene of Rosalia leaning into Nolan's ear and smiling like a little devil at herself came to mind.

This is exactly the expression of the vixen who has succeeded in his scheme!

"Since everyone is open, why are you so anxious?"

She retorted, "At least I can guarantee that my master has nothing more than to think about, but what about Your Excellency? ”

"I don't have any anxiety...... It's time to eat! Reinhardt stopped arguing and turned to the booth.

It's just that, even after the conversation ended, Yuna's interrogation continued to churn in his heart.

Ask yourself, is Rosaria doing everything just for political reasons, just to make friends?

Is it really normal for her to be at a distance from the opposite sex?

Can he be like Yuna trusts Nolan and ensure that Rosaria is nothing more than thinking?

Before, he thought he could.

But now, he found himself unable to vouch for anything.

Yuna is like a mirror of himself, and when he asks her questions, it is his own shadow that gives the answer.

……

Unlike the two people outside, the atmosphere inside the box looks more harmonious.

Rosalia is indeed a cheerful courtesan, even if it is a straight man of steel like Nolan, who does not understand the amorous feelings, she can control the atmosphere to the point where she does not run out of words to talk about.

The daily topic changed one after another, and when most of the dishes were eaten and dinner was nearing the end, the business had not been mentioned yet.

“…… The alchemist of the imperial capital once gave me a very peculiar pair of stockings.

"And guess what, it turns from black to gray in the sun! I really don't know what it's made of? ”

Rosalia was still smiling and chatting, and the conversation was slowly moving towards adulthood.

"Uh-oh." Nolan finished his dinner and burped his stomach down, "That's amazing......

He wiped his mouth contentedly, and then said:

"By the way, His Highness said before that he wanted to convey His Majesty's words, what is it?"

"......" Rosalia choked.

I've helped you throw out the topic of alchemy, shouldn't you talk about the material of stockings along the topic at this time, and then continue to borrow the topic to play?

It's rare that you just put a lot of effort into creating a relaxed and happy dating atmosphere, but someone doesn't appreciate it at all......

So alchemists are really boring.

Rosaria was slightly annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it, and after taking a deep breath, she cut to the chase:

"Well, you should know that Flamel has a past with the Emperor, right?"

"Know." Nolan's heart moved.

Roderick's camp was now sending a large army to surround Flamel.

The reason for this situation was that Flamel had a secret meeting with the envoys of the imperial capital not long ago.

It is said that the envoy of the imperial capital was none other than Fred, the chief alchemist of the imperial court.

"What can be revealed is that Bach, the lord of Vlamel, introduced us to a tank known as the latest and most powerful ground alchemy weapon in the Empire."

Rosaria said, "And my father promised that if these alchemy weapons were really that powerful, he would be willing to spend a huge amount of money on mass production, and at the same time improve the treatment and status of the imperial alchemists."

"However, this news was intercepted for some reason, and before Flamel could transport the tank to the imperial capital for testing, it was surrounded by rebels."

"That's the case." Nolan nodded, "So, what does Your Majesty mean now?" ”

"Flamel is here to be saved, and it alone cannot break through the combined blockade of the rebels." Rosaria said.

"That's why we're here, in my plan, we'll help Peak City open up the transportation channel first, and then gather your forces to support Flamel and relieve them.

"But by the time I arrived, I knew that you seem to have already routed Alto's forces and solved the problem of transportation routes.

"The strength of Linfeng City and Alto City is originally in the same echelon, but I didn't expect you to win so easily, this is really beyond my expectations.

"However, this also shows the strength of the alchemy weapon from the side, and on this basis, this proposal of my father may be quite feasible-"

She paused, and a gleam flashed in her eyes:

"Father wants you to support Flamel as quickly as possible, and to show the power of alchemy weapons as much as possible in this support battle.

"If your performance satisfies him, henceforth, the Empire will consider developing alchemy.

"At that time, whether it is to improve the treatment of alchemists, or to give all-round material assistance, or even to your own prosperity...... Father and King can be satisfied with everything. ”

I see, is this a test? Nolan understood what she meant.

Actual combat is of course the most intuitive way to test the performance of weapons, and whether the Roland Empire will pay attention to the development of alchemy in the future directly depends on the value of alchemy weapons to the empire.

If it was originally located in Linfeng City, which was originally a third-rate strength, it could rely on equipping new alchemy weapons to directly rewrite the situation on the front-line battlefield......

Well, even the relatively conservative Robert will recognize its value and vigorously develop it.

"I'm sure the new alchemy weapon will satisfy Your Majesty."

Nolan thought for a moment and said slowly, "However, everything has a gradual and gradual development process, and it is not realistic to become fat in one go.

"The technology of the new alchemy weapon is still developing, and although it can already pose a threat to the eighth-order transcendent, it is nothing more.

"If I'm not mistaken, including Roderick himself, there is more than one ninth-order transcendent being in their camp, right?"

The ninth-order transcendent is the top human combat power of the empire, and although the current alchemy weapon has been developed for a period of time, it still can't touch such a powerful opponent.

And in a front-line battlefield like Flamel, maybe Roderick has sent a ninth-order powerhouse to secretly stand by.

"If that's the problem, you don't have to worry." Rosalia shook her head.

"There won't be a ninth-order powerhouse involved in this battle."

"Why are you so sure?" Nolan raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, Linfeng City has never produced a ninth-order transcendent, and you may not know it."

She explained, "Because the destructive power of the ninth-order transcendents is too great, if they are allowed to participate in the battle wantonly, no matter what the final victory or defeat is, there will be no grass in the land they pass.

In fact, there had been more than one such tragedy in the war-torn period before the Empire.

"Many cities have been reduced to dead cities that have no survivors and are difficult to rebuild at the hands of ninth-order transcendentals, so what can such a war bring?

"Therefore, when the first emperor unified the empire, he made an agreement with all the ninth-order powerhouses, stipulating that all ninth-order powerhouses should not take the initiative to attack enemies below the ninth-order.

"Therefore, the opponents of the Ninth Order Transcendent are basically the Ninth Order, and when they fight, they often choose sparsely populated places."

"And the story." Nolan sighed, "But the First Emperor has died, is this agreement still binding now?" ”

"Then you might as well look at it from a different angle." Rosaria thought for a moment and said.

"Ninth-Order transcendents are quite rare, and most of them are old people from the same era as the first emperor, and they have long since stopped caring about the world.

"For them who have experienced the Warring States period, the civil war in the empire at this time is just a small fight between the younger generations, and it is not worth their help at all.

"Even my father can't easily summon these ninth-order powerhouses on weekdays, so I must treat them with courtesy.

In other words, what does it matter to them who wins and who loses this civil war? As long as they are alive for a day, what monarch does not respect himself? ”

"Therefore, even if they stand in line, they will definitely not become Roderick's pawns, which is too cheap."

After listening to her explanation, Nolan fell into thought.

Rosaria's words should be true, otherwise it is really so dangerous, how could Robert easily send his daughter to support the front line?

Further speculation, in fact, Rosalia was completely prepared to dare to come to the front line, and it is likely that there was an invincible boss below the ninth order hidden in her convoy.

It's just that they don't make a move easily, but as the envoys of the imperial capital, they coldly observe whether the new alchemy weapons have the potential for the key development of the empire.

What Foremost and Flamel need to do is to use the power of alchemy as much as possible to resolve this battle and win the respect of the empire for alchemists.
