Chapter 192: The Old Man of the Legendary Era

The emperor saw that Chen Daolin was just sitting there and not moving, and he couldn't stand for a long time, so he was a little puzzled at first, but then he inadvertently lowered his head, and his eyes swept over Chen Daolin's body, but he found that his robe was wet with a small patch, although the magician's robe was dark gray, and the damp marks were not conspicuous, but the emperor was only slightly stunned, and Chen Daolin's expression was too special, so the emperor suddenly woke up.

The handsome emperor's face suddenly became very exciting, he coughed, looked at the surrounding guards with shields, and shouted in a low voice: "It's all scattered!"

"Majesty!"

A commander of the Imperial Forest Army was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please leave the garden with us quickly, I'm worried about ......"

The emperor sneered: "This kind of assassination, if you miss a blow, you will be far away." This is my palace, will the Assassins still rush forward like they do in the streets?

After a pause, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Pass my order, everyone retreat from the garden fifty steps, without my order, dare to trespass, kill!"

He was the emperor, and he gave orders in such a decisive tone, that the commander of the Royal Forest Army did not dare to say anything more, so he could only take the order.

Soon, all the guards retreated, and in this huge garden, there were only a bunch of tables and chairs in front of them that burst into ruins, as well as Chen Daolin and the emperor.

When everyone was gone, Chen Daolin sat there with a sneering expression. Just look up at the emperor.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about. The emperor's tone was actually very gentle, and he smiled lightly: "At the moment of life and death, how many people will be scared to pee their pants." When I was younger, I was trained in the army, and many new recruits were new to the battlefield. Wetting pants and crying dad and calling mother in fright are all common things, this is human nature. You don't have to be too ashamed of yourself. ”

"I ......" Chen Daolin suddenly didn't know where he got the courage, and shouted with his eyes: "I'm ashamed to blame myself! I'm not scared of pee......

He gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Your Majesty, I drank too much water before, and because I was in front of you, I didn't dare to say that I was anxious to urinate because of etiquette, so I endured it until just now, and then ...... Suddenly I jumped and ran, and I couldn't hold back my ......"

“...... Hahahahahahahaha

When the emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned. He laughed. I actually walked over. Stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Daolin up.

"Damn, it's a shame to be a shame now, if people know about this. I can't tell even if I have a hundred mouths!" Chen Daolin sulked.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You saved me once, and I can still do this little thing for you. ”

"Uh...... Then please ask your majesty to let people loosen their clean robes and come and I will change into ......"

"Stupid!" the emperor smiled slightly, "If you change clothes here, how can those servants not know?"

After a pause, the emperor suddenly turned around, pointed to a small artificial lake in the garden not far away, and said with a smile: "Wow!"

Chen Daolin glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned, he instantly understood what the emperor meant: "...... You don't mean to make me ......"

That's what it means. The emperor actually nodded and said with a smile: "You jump down, your whole body is wet, others can't see that you pee your pants, what easier way is this." ”

"Yes...... What kind of lake am I jumping into?"

"It's up to anyone else to say this. The emperor's tone was very disapproving: "You jumped into the lake, others will say that you are acting strangely, anyway, you are a magician, and you have long been labeled as acting strangely." Would you rather be criticized behind your back for acting eccentricly, or would you be laughed at for peeing your pants?"

Chen Daolin listened, didn't say a word, got up and ran all the way to the artificial lake, and jumped in with a pop!

The emperor walked to the lake, looked at Chen Daolin standing in the water, and then slowly sat down and sat on the lawn.

At this moment, the smile on the emperor's face finally disappeared, and a trace of anger gradually appeared in his eyes.

No matter how approachable he looks, he is the master of this empire after all! He has been assassinated three times and twice, and now he has been assassinated in his own palace, so it is conceivable that this emperor has tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart!

Chen Daolin also felt the emperor's affection, and he gradually became a little nervous in his heart, looked up at the emperor on the shore, hesitated, and still didn't dare to speak after all-such a royal secret thing, he accidentally bumped into it, in fact, it may not be a good thing, it is better not to talk too much.

But Chen Daolin remained silent, but the emperor would not let him go lightly.

The emperor suddenly looked at Chen Daolin and said, "Little Darling." ”

“...... Huh?"

"Thank you for today's events. The Emperor's tone was sincere.

Without waiting for Chen Daolin to be humble, the emperor had already waved his hand, signaling Chen Daolin not to interrupt him, and he continued: "You are a smart man, the day before yesterday on the street, although you blocked the assassin at that time, but that time I still have a backhand, and I am not afraid of the assassin. Therefore, although I appreciate your actions very much on that day, I don't feel that I owe you any favors. Can be ...... today Today is different!"

The emperor's eyes gradually became gloomy: "The emperor of my dignified Roland Empire can actually ask people to sneak in and assassinate in his own palace, in this heavily guarded imperial garden...... Today's incident has already exceeded my expectations, and if it weren't for your quick reaction, I would have at least suffered some injuries today, even if I didn't die today!"

Speaking of this, he slapped his thigh angrily and shouted in a low voice: "I can't imagine that these people are so capable, even the attendants around me can get through!"

When Chen Daolin heard this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart!

Because he had already heard the undisguised murderous intent in the emperor's words!

It is conceivable that the one who assassinated the emperor today was actually the attendant next to him, so next, this emperor will definitely carry out a big purge of all the attendants around him!

As an emperor, his safety is so important, those ant-like attendants. I'm afraid that it will be a tragic fate! Even if there may not be any fellow assassins among them, I am afraid that those people will not be able to survive! This kind of matter of the royal family is also related to the life and safety of the emperor himself, so it is natural to hold the principle that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one!

Not to mention. It's just some insignificant attendants and servants in the eyes of the big guys.

Chen Daolin's heart moved, he originally warned himself not to participate, but he remembered when he entered the palace. The court attendant who accompanied him all the way was very kind to him, and the other waiter who went to pick him up to see the emperor was also a good person, and he took the initiative to take himself to the toilet......

These people are actually very innocent.

Chen Daolin thought for a while, carefully observed the emperor's face, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...... I, have a word, say it, and please don't blame me. ”

"You say!" The emperor's senses for Chen Daolin at this moment were at the best time. Listen to him. waved his hand: "Say whatever you want!"

"Hmm......" Chen Daolin took a deep breath: "According to my judgment." The waiters around you shouldn't have been bought. If you are furious because of this matter, you will blame these people around you. It's a pity. ”

"Oh, what do you say?" the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin sighed, and then put himself into the palace today. The words of loyalty to the Emperor and hatred of the Assassin revealed in the words of the attendants beside him were recounted.

"I'm not a master at judging cases, but I'm a magician after all, and I can feel the speed of the other person's heartbeat, blood flow, and even the speed of breathing when someone speaks, and I can be sure that what the waiter said is from the bottom of my heart. At that time, I thought that these people around you are sincerely loyal to you. Your Majesty has won the hearts of the people around you so much, and you have such a loyal servant, that is the luck of the superior. ”

After a pause, Chen Daolin said again: "What's more, the assassination just now, now that I think about it, it's also a little weird." ”

"Oh, what did you find?" the Emperor narrowed.

"The waiter who blew himself up. Chen Daolin said slowly: "When I watched him approach, I felt that something was wrong. ”

"What's wrong?"

"He was a court attendant, he was supposed to be trained in strict etiquette, and when he walked along the way, his steps were a little stiff, his posture was a little clumsy, and most importantly, his eyes were level ahead, and his gaze was sloppy...... Your Majesty, you should feel the most, all these waiters around you, when serving you, words and deeds, are naturally very cautious, respectful to the extreme. What court attendant dares to walk with his head raised when he serves you wine? He should bow his head and never dare to look at people. And the man's posture was stiff when he walked, and if I wasn't mistaken, it should be a kind of magic. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Daolin took a breath, his face became solemn, and he said slowly: "...... Puppetry!"

"Puppetry is a type of black magic that belongs to the necromancy family. Chen Daolin said slowly: "The person who is cast will become a walking corpse, just like a puppet puppet that has been pulled by the string, and no longer has its own consciousness, and only obeys the orders of the caster. I think that the waiter who blew himself up must have been caught in the puppet technique! A court attendant is just an ordinary person, and when he encounters a magic master who can perform puppetry, he naturally has no ability to resist. And ......"

When Chen Daolin said this, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought suddenly came to mind, and he couldn't help frowning, his face became very embarrassed, and he hesitated to say it.

"And what?" The emperor's face was also ugly: "Don't have any worries, if you have anything to say, even if it is wrong, I will not blame you." ”

"I ......"

Chen Daolin lowered his head, stood in the water, and said in a low voice, "I...... Don't dare to say it!"

The Emperor snorted heavily, and suddenly he stood up, walked a few steps back and forth by the lake, and then stood again, his handsome face covered with haze!

Suddenly, the emperor suddenly turned his head and stared at Chen Daolin coldly!

This beam of gaze seemed to have a huge oppressive force, and it actually stabbed Chen Daolin so much that he didn't dare to raise his head, but just lowered his face deeply, unwilling to look at the emperor!

"Little Darling, don't think that if you are spitting, I don't know what you mean!"

The emperor's voice cooled down, and the seemingly calm voice faintly contained a bit of thunder that made people's hearts chill!

And what the emperor said next. It made Chen Daolin's heart tremble!

"I'm not ignorant of the magic of puppetry. The emperor sneered: "But all puppet techniques, low-level, after casting spells." The puppeteer who controls it will not last long to make the other party lose their minds!Otherwise, either the puppet being manipulated will break free from the magic and regain consciousness, or. Golems must not die, and once they do, the spell fails! After all, this is a puppetry, not an undead creature. And even if it is a high-level puppet, once it is cast on the target, the spell must not last too long, and from the information I know of this, even a high-level puppet can only last for a few hours at most! And ...... In order for the golem to act according to the caster's wishes. The caster's location. You can't get too far away from the puppet. At least ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin deeply: "Since I know all these things. Naturally, you, a magician, know it very well! That's why you don't dare to say that you have concerns. You're scared! because, you've guessed it...... The caster of this puppet spell should have cast the spell two or three hours before at most, judging by the time! and...... Judging by the distance of mana, he should be hiding in my palace!"

The emperor took a deep breath, and suddenly walked towards Chen Daolin step by step, and he even walked directly into the lake!

The shallow water of the lake had already submerged to the emperor's ankles, and he just looked at Chen Daolin like this, his eyes becoming sharper and sharper!

"You were actually trying to hint at me...... There may not be a problem with the attendants around me, but the magicians who are hiding in my palace are really careful, right?"

Chen Daolin stopped talking.

That's exactly what he meant!

But...... A magician in the palace?

Isn't that directly pointing the finger at ......

The group of court magicians?!

......

Court magician, this is the most important power in the hands of the royal family!

The important Cheng dù is even higher than the Imperial Forest Army!

The team of court magicians has always been one of the trump cards of the royal family! This team of magicians was formed in the early days of the Roland Empire and was formed by the founding emperor!

Because in the Roland Empire, the group of magicians has always been led by the Magician Guild, and magicians are also detached from the world, not very subject to the jurisdiction of the empire, and may not have any allegiance to the imperial family of the empire.

The founding emperor formed a team of magicians who were completely loyal to the royal family itself, firstly, in order to restrain the influence of the magic union, and not let the magic union monopolize the entire country's magical world.

Second, it is also for the sake of having such a team of magicians who have always controlled and maintained the strongest magic array in the White Tower of the Imperial Palace!

The court magician team has always been one of the most mysterious forces. No one knows how this team of magicians has been passed down for thousands of years, only that they claim to be a line, and they have never had any intersection with other magicians in the outside world, nor are they under the jurisdiction of the magic union, but they are completely loyal to the royal family of the Roland Empire, even if it is passed down from generation to generation, it is all carried out internally, and they never have anything to do with the outside world!

With such a team, it stands to reason that its loyalty should be guaranteed.

Can ...... now

If it is said that one of the biggest relying forces of this royal family, in the team of court magicians, there are rebellious ministers and thieves, threatening the emperor's life at all times.

This...... How does this make the emperor accept?!

......

The emperor stared at Chen Daolin tightly, he seemed to be pondering, thinking, and hesitating.

Finally, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of this Imperial Supreme: "Little Darling, I trust your judgment!"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached into the placket of his neck, pulled out a pendant, and directly broke off a slender crystal sword hanging on it!

Chen Daolin felt a subtle but extremely strong fluctuation of magical power.

After the emperor broke the crystal sword pendant, his expression became very solemn!

He stared at the open space of the garden, the muscles in the corners of his eyes still beating faintly. Chen Daolin noticed that the emperor's mouth seemed to be whispering something to himself.

He listened carefully, but found that the emperor was actually counting.

"One, two, three, four......"

Just when the emperor had just counted to seven, all of a sudden, he was on the shore of the lake in front of the two of them. There was a wave of distortion in the air, and then a figure appeared in front of him out of thin air!

Wearing a magician's robe, the color is not the gray, black, or white of the secular magician, but a bright and eye-catching red.

Such an outfit. It is clear that the identity of the other party is clear: this is a court magician!

On top of that, the magician wore a high, pointed hat, and the red mage robes were embroidered with thin cirrus gold trim on the edges and corners. Obviously, among the court magicians, his status is by no means ordinary.

With the appearance of this court magician, Chen Daolin obviously felt that the emperor had a long breath, and his originally nervous feelings were also a little more relaxed.

"Majesty!"

The court magician bowed his head and saluted, his voice was very old and hoarse, and when he raised his head, Chen Daolin could see clearly that this person's appearance was very upright, but his hair was already snow-white. Even a pair of eyebrows are white. I don't know how old I am.

"Master Clark. The emperor looked at the man in front of him. His tone sounded very relaxed, but the awe-inspiring taste in it could not be concealed: "Fortunately, you appeared." If I summon you not to come, I will be very disappointed. ”

The court magician named Clark raised the corners of his mouth. As if smiling faintly: "Your Majesty...... If I don't show up, I'm afraid you'll have already ordered the Guards and Mages to be sent to capture me. ”

The emperor smiled: "Please understand, I don't doubt your loyalty, it's just ...... If even you betray me, I just can't afford that kind of pain and loss. ”

Clark's expression was neither happy nor angry, he nodded, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, needless to say, I am already at this age, and I am used to seeing the rights and wrongs in this court, so I will not mind these things for a long time." The fact that Your Majesty can think of summoning me at this time is enough to prove your trust in me. ”

Speaking of this, the Clark magician took two steps back and solemnly bowed his head to the emperor.

His old tone carried deep self-reproach: "Today's incident, I just learned that the assassination in the palace shocked me by such a bold and evil act. And it is my dereliction of duty to let His Majesty suffer such a shock! I have decided to leave the maintenance of the White Pagoda to others for the time being, starting today. From today until I catch those thieves, I will stay by His Majesty's side and follow you to protect you. ”

The emperor listened and nodded: "Master Clark, I thank you very much for your loyalty, you have dedicated your life to my Augustine family, and now you are also focusing all your energy on the maintenance of the White Tower, if it weren't for today's matter, I really don't want to bother you, just ......"

After a pause, the emperor turned to Chen Daolin and said, "This little guest of mine has just experienced this assassination with me, as you can see, he is a magician, so he sued me that Fang Cai's assassination was caused by someone who used puppetry to accuse my attendants......"

Without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, this Clark magician will immediately understand.

As soon as the name "puppetry" was heard by such top magic masters in the court, his heart turned slightly, and he understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

Clark's face was also a little gloomy: "Puppetry?!hum!"

There was also a hint of awe and solemnity in his eyes: "If that's the case...... This matter really needs to be taken seriously!"

He glanced at Chen Daolin, and then looked at the emperor again: "The meaning of His Majesty, I already understand." In the team of court mages, I will carefully investigate. If this problem really arises in the ranks of court mages......"

In the end, the old man's tone unceremoniously revealed a trace of murderous aura!

"I don't want things to really get to this point, I hope we have a lot of heart. The Emperor sighed.

"Your Majesty, I'm not so optimistic. Although Clark himself is a court magician, he does not excuse himself at the moment, he said coldly: "The palace is heavily guarded, and the inflow of personnel is also extremely strict! All the attendants and servants in the court, even if they are miscellaneous servants, can only enter the palace after a strict investigation of their identity and background! Even the Imperial Forest Army is a good family with a clean background and loyal to the empire! If it is said that among these people, there are any people who secretly know magic to get in, it is extremely unlikely! Moreover, as long as you check the new people who have entered the palace in recent months, you can find out after a thorough investigation. If the thieves are not among them...... I'm afraid ......"

In the end, he suddenly knelt down slowly, and said in a low voice: "That's my dereliction of responsibility! Your Majesty, you and several generations of emperors have trusted me so much, and handed over the court magicians to me to manage, if it is really a thief among the palace mages, then I am really to blame!"

The emperor waved his hand: "The matter is not clear yet, so there is no need to discuss the question of whose responsibility is now." ”

He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Master Clark, you can help me do a few things, first, these attendants around me, check them one by one, find out who they have been in contact with in the past two days, and those who have been out of the palace in the past two days should be paid attention to." Don't make things bigger, just do it in secret. Second...... The team of mages, whatever method you use to do it, I won't interfere, I just need a result. ”

Clark stood up, nodded, and said with a slow smile: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, then I naturally don't dare to slack off, and my old bones will always have to move again." ”

As he spoke, he smiled softly, took a step back, and then waved his sleeve and disappeared in place.

After this Clark disappeared, Chen Daolin couldn't help but glance at the emperor, but when he looked over, he found that the emperor was also looking at himself.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Daolin couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, little Darling, do you think what I'm doing is inappropriate?" the Emperor smiled lightly.

"Uh......" Chen Daolin still didn't dare to speak.

"I understand what you mean, since we are suspicious of the team of court magicians, why do I dare to trust the head of this court magician so much?" the emperor shook his head and said, "Other people may not be able to believe it, but this Clark mage, I can absolutely trust it! The court magician has always been in charge of him, and he has also personally guarded two generations of emperors. If he has the heart to harm me...... I'm already dead, and I don't have to wait for today. ”

"This, Master Clark...... It should be a top powerhouse with strong strength. Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh.

He could barely sense any fluctuations in the magic power of this Clark magician! Even if the other party was standing in front of him, he could see the other party with his naked eyes, but his mental power could not detect anything! It was as if there was a hollow in front of him!

This kind of magical cultivation shocked Chen Daolin's heart!

"Clark?" the emperor smiled meaningfully, and then said something that shocked Chen Daolin!

He ...... I had a business with the first Duke Tulip!"

I...... I'm going to go!!

The old man who has survived from the time of the first Duke Tulip!!
