"This is a secret mansion of Her Highness Elle, and this is where we were originally going to be tonight. ”

Placing Connie lightly on the soft bed and covering the quilt for her, Meng Xiaotong and Lin Lichuan then walked into another room next to her.

After closing the door, the girl had the leisure to look at Lin Lichuan carefully, and said with a slight complaint: "Where have you been in the past six months, Ah Chuan, I have been looking for you and can't find you, and the captain refuses to tell me your whereabouts." ”

Lin Lichuan chuckled and said, "It's a long story, I went to Black Flame Island. ”

"Black Flame Island?" Meng Xiaotong looked stunned, "Where are you going?"

Lin Lichuan briefly talked about the things on the island in the past six months, and only omitted the deal with the Black Flame Council.

After listening to his narration, Meng Xiaotong was already stunned in place, and her pretty face was full of trance and shock.

She never expected that in just half a year, Lin Lichuan actually formed a powerful transcendent force on Black Flame Island, ruled half of Black Flame Island, and more importantly, was promoted to knight.

Although after seeing Lin Lichuan kill two gold-level transcendents lightly, Meng Xiaotong vaguely guessed that Lin Lichuan might have been promoted to knight, but when he heard him admit it with his own ears, he still couldn't help but feel a strong shock in his heart.

A knight under the age of 20, this is simply unheard of.

You must know that becoming a knight before the age of 30 is enough to be called talented, let alone less than 20 years old.

After being stunned for a long time, Meng Xiaotong came back to his senses, and his gaze at Lin Lichuan had become extremely complicated.

"Since before, I felt that the speed at which your strength grew was extremely evil, but I didn't expect ......"

Lin Lichuan interrupted her words and smiled: "Your strength has also improved very quickly, you should be about to break through to level 17." ”

"It is not a compliment that comes out of your mouth. Meng Xiaotong muttered, and then returned to his normal expression, "Forget it, you are already at the level of demons, and you are just unhappy compared to you." ”

Lin Lichuan smiled dumbly, exposed the topic and asked, "How is my aunt doing lately?"

"Very good, the captain is now a Morning Star Knight, who just broke through two months ago. ”

"My aunt has been promoted to knight!" Lin Lichuan was surprised when he heard this.

He originally prepared a star source for Lin Zhenyi, so he didn't need it.

"By the way, I almost forgot, you have to tell the captain about your return. ”

Meng Xiaotong was just about to take the mobile phone, but was stopped by Lin Lichuan.

"Don't tell my aunt about my return for the time being. ”

"Why?" Meng Xiaotong looked at him puzzled.

"I have some business to do when I return to the Tania Empire this time, and it is not appropriate for too many people to know my whereabouts. Lin Lichuan explained.

It's not that he can't believe Lin Zhenyi, it's just that this time the matter involves the Huiyue Knight, if Lin Zhenyi knew that he was going to deal with the Huiyue Knight, he would definitely be very worried, besides, Brocker is also the head of the Royal Legion, and Lin Zhenyi is strictly speaking a colleague, he doesn't want Lin Zhenyi to be difficult.

It's better to wait for the matter to be over, and then find Lin Zhenyi to explain everything.

"Okay. ”

Meng Xiaotong thought about it, then agreed, and immediately thought that Lin Lichuan didn't want to tell the captain his whereabouts, but only let her know, and a trace of inexplicable joy suddenly appeared in his heart.

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that it was not early, Lin Lichuan stopped staying, talked with Meng Xiaotong for a few words, and left the mansion.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Lichuan returned to the Viscount Manches Mansion, and as soon as he entered the front hall, he saw Yao Qian and Yao Bing gathered together with solemn expressions, as if they were talking about something.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Qian turned around and saw that it was Lin Lichuan, so he frowned and replied: "There was a murder incident in the noble district half an hour ago, and one of the parties had two gold-level transcendents whose identities were unknown, we wondered if this matter would have something to do with the struggle for the throne." ”

Lin Lichuan suddenly showed a strange smile on his face: "Those two are members of the Qiming Sect. ”

Yao Qian and the two were stunned: "How do you know?"

"I happened to be there. Lin Lichuan told the story as it was.

After hearing this, the solemn look on Yao Qian and Yao Bing's faces not only did not ease, but became thicker and thicker, and their brows furrowed deeply.

"Why should the people of the Enlightenment Sect be unfavorable to the Seventh Princess? Could it be that they are also involved in the struggle for the throne of the Tania Empire?"

"Perhaps. Lin Lichuan said in a deep voice.

With the style of acting in the Qiming Sect, it is really possible to get involved.

Seeing Yao Qian and Yao Bing's frowning expressions in his eyes, Lin Lichuan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry so much, even if the Qiming Sect really participates in the battle for the throne, it may not be a good thing for us, the more turbid the water in Baiwei City is, the more convenient it is for us to act, isn't it?"

Yao Qian and the others thought about it for a while, and their brows gradually relaxed.

Seeing this, Lin Lichuan smiled and didn't say anything more, returned to the room arranged for him by the Manchester family, and did not rest, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out a shadow invasion pill and crushed it directly, and continued to master the cultivation of voiding.

......

The royal palace, in an elegant study.

Hod Tania sat behind his desk, listening to his subordinates' reports with a blank face.

Now Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, he is in the golden age of the peak of men, and his long years of being in a high position have brought him a sense of majesty that is difficult to ignore, just sitting there quietly, he naturally exudes a sense of oppression in his heart.

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the study, all of them all putting on a solemn appearance of listening attentively, except for the hook-nosed old man who was closest to Hod Tania, his face was as usual, his face was thin, his cheeks were deep, he was already old, but his eyes were still as sharp as a falcon.

After a short time, the subordinate of the report finished speaking, and silence enveloped the entire study for more than ten seconds, and then Huo De frowned slightly and said:

"Have you found out the identities of those assassins?"

"No, neither Nightsong nor the Imperial Secret Police have yet to find out the identity of the assassin. ”

Huo De snorted lightly: "It's just the night song, I'm afraid the imperial secret police can't find it, but they don't want to check it." ”

After a pause, he continued, "What about the Sheriff's Department?"

"Immediately after the incident, the Sheriff's Department stepped up patrols in the Noble District, but soon after, the Royal Legion suddenly took over the defense of the Noble District by Civility Order and drove the Sheriff's people out. ”

"The Royal Legion, who gave the order?"

"It's the Marquis of Brockle. ”

Hodder frowned and looked at the hook-nosed old man, his grandfather, Duke Morris, who was also one of the few great nobles in the Empire.

"There was an assassination in the noble district, and it was the Seventh Princess, who was assassinated, and the nature was extremely bad, and it was normal for Brockel to do this, after all, he was responsible for all the security of Baiwei City during the festival, and if something happened, he would be the first to be held responsible. The Duke of Morris looked calm.

As soon as these words came out, Hodder's brow softened a little, but then he showed a look of anger again.

"That old fox, his attitude has always been ambiguous, no matter how I exhort and lure, he always refuses to show his attitude and stand in line, which is really annoying!"

Duke Morris said slowly: "Brocker is old, and he is a marquis, enjoying all the glory and wealth, even if he goes to the next level, he will not get much more power and status than now, compared to the risks that need to be taken to participate in the battle for the throne, it is far less than the risk he needs to take, it is reasonable that he does not want to take risks, as long as he does not throw himself to Miselle or Elle, and always remains neutral, he does not need to care about him." ”

As the head of the Royal Legion, Brockel is in charge of the defense of the city and all security in the city during the festival, and can play an extremely important role at certain times, and it will undoubtedly be a great help if he can be brought to his side.

Even if it doesn't work, as long as he doesn't fall to the opponent, he doesn't have to push the other party too much, so as not to backfire.

Hodder's face changed and he pondered for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
