George Edward raised his eyebrows, but his expression quickly returned to calm. He raised his hand to signal the butler to go down. He stood up with a smile, held the wine glass, looked at the dozen young magicians sitting down and said with a smile: "Brothers, They are all the leaders of the younger generation in my Mage Tower. In a few years, they will be the mainstay of the empire. They are the future owners of the Mage Tower. The future of the empire needs your protection. Cheers to the empire."
"For the empire." All the magicians also stood up and raised their glasses, with confident and energetic smiles on their faces. They all looked at Qiao Xiu with a bit of fanaticism in their eyes, and drank it down in one gulp.
"It's a little late today. I've reserved a few rooms for you in Wenxiang Pavilion. With Wenxiang Nephrite in my arms, I believe you can have a good sleep tonight." Qiao Xiu said with a smile as he looked at everyone.
"Your Highness is interested."
"Your Majesty's kindness, we have a lot of blessings."
"His Royal Highness is a man of great talents and versatile civil and military talents. If he ascends the throne in the future, it will be a blessing for our Los Empire."
When all the magicians heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all praised him without hesitating any words of praise.
"I'm just a second prince. I don't dare to talk nonsense about ascending to the throne." Qiao Xiu waved his hands with a smile, and then said: "Go, don't keep the girls waiting, a moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
Seeing all the magicians leaving together, the smile on Qiao Xiu's face faded, with a bit of contempt and disgust in his eyes.
"Your Highness, the guests from the elves are waiting in the living room now." The housekeeper from before came in again, bowing his head and saying respectfully.
"Let him go to the study, and don't let anyone come near the study." Qiao Xiu said in a cold voice, casually throwing the wine glass in his hand on the table, spilling half the glass of wine on the table, and walked out.
"Yes." The butler lowered his head even further. Everyone praised him. Probably no one knew better than him what kind of person His Royal Highness the Second Prince was.
There was silence in the study room with the doors and windows closed. A tall, middle-aged elf looked at the Second Prince, who was wearing a purple robe and staring at a painting on the wall with his back to him. A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead. Slowly sliding down, the dark yellow light shone on his face through the white gauze lampshade, his expression was a bit nervous.
The second prince, who was only in his early thirties, already gave him a feeling of coercion and momentum that was no less than that of Lady Helena. He had been standing here for more than ten minutes, but he never looked back at him from the beginning to the end. , as if he were the air.
"Tell me, what news Helena asked you to bring me this time." Qiao Xiu still didn't turn his head, his eyes turned to the next picture, and he asked in a cold voice, without deliberately being dignified.
"Ms. Helena asked me to bring you a letter." The elf said quickly and took out a dark green letter from his arms. A slender vine stretched out from the letter and covered the entire envelope, like It was sealed, there was not a word on the envelope, and it looked quite mysterious.
"Put it on the table and go out." Qiao Xiu said without looking back.
"Yes." The elf nodded quickly, held the envelope in both hands and gently placed it on the desk. He took two steps back, then turned around and pushed the door out, then gently closed the door. Then he took a long breath and wiped a There was cold sweat on my forehead, and my back was soaked with sweat at some point.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Qiao Xiu slowly turned around, walked to the table and picked up the letter on the table. The vines on the surface of the envelope lit up with a green light, and then quickly receded like a tide, and they all retracted into the envelope.
Qiao Xiu casually tore open the envelope and dumped it on the table. A small black seed and a piece of light green letter paper fell out.
Ignoring the little seed, Qiao Qiu picked up the letter and read it, her brows gradually furrowed. The room was silent and the lights flickered slightly.
After a while, Qiao Xiu looked away from the letter paper. The light green letter paper burned in his hand and turned into ashes. A green flame also rose on the envelope and the seed on the table, completely turning into ashes. ash.
"Snar, I underestimated him. Time retrieval, such a distant spell, I didn't expect anyone to do it... Alex, you are not dead after all." Qiao Xiu slowly clenched his fists, his voice was as cold as ice It was downright serious, and his expression was also a bit ferocious.
Suddenly a gust of wind rose in the room, rolling up a stack of white paper on the table and dancing around the room. The light was cut into pieces, and fell brightly and darkly on Qiao Xiu's gloomy face.
Qiao Xiu suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of paper. The wind suddenly stopped, and the papers flying in the sky suddenly fell to the ground as if they were suddenly suppressed by stones.
"It seems that the plan will be moved forward a little earlier." Qiao Xiu's expression has returned to calmness, and there is no trace of joy or anger on his handsome face. He sat down at the desk, picked up the quill on the desk, and wrote on the paper: "Dear Irina, I haven't written to you for a long time..."
After writing a letter, he took out a blue envelope from the bookshelf nearby and put it in, and then wrote on the envelope: Irina personally opens it.
After thinking for a while, he took another piece of paper and wrote: "Lady Helena, I am willing to help you complete your plan, but I also hope that you will remember your promise. The light of the Mage Tower shines on the entire continent."
…
On the southwest border of Los Empire, a large military camp tent was brightly lit. A tall, handsome young man wearing golden armor sat at the head of the table. He held up a big bowl in front of him and said with a smile: "Do it!"
"Do it!" The generals wearing armor who sat down also raised their bowls and said with a smile, drinking a large bowl of wine in one gulp.
"His Royal Highness the eldest prince is indeed generous!" Old Jiang, who was next in line, said with a smile, looking at the young man in golden armor with admiration.
"Your Highness, Quinn is back and said he has something important to report." At this moment, a guard hurried in and whispered into the ear of the young man in golden armor.
Sean Edward's eyes lit up, and he immediately calmed down. He nodded and signaled the guards to leave. He stood up with a smile and said, "Everyone, please continue to drink. I'll go to the latrine and come back as soon as I go." He stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Let him come to my tent." Once out of the tent, Sean's smile faded and he calmly ordered, walking towards a nearby tent.
"Your Highness, after more than half a year of secret visits, among the generals you asked me to investigate, General Simon, who has removed his armor and returned to Luodu, is the most suspicious. When that incident happened, he disappeared for some time inexplicably. Although there were Explain the reason, but after I visited, it was different from what he said." Soon, a young man wearing a black tights and half a silver mask appeared in the tent, glanced left and right, and said softly, with a hint of A bit hoarse.
"Simon? Alex's right-hand man back then. It seems that he may indeed be related to Alex's disappearance..." A smile appeared on Sean's face and he whispered to himself.
