The old man's name was Des, and he was indeed Klose's housekeeper. Of course, he had also met Linton, otherwise how could he recognize him directly, but Linton didn't remember him at all.
Linton came back at a bad time. It was already around four o'clock in the middle of the night, so everyone in the Marquis Mansion was asleep. Because Des was older, he got up early, and he was more diligent.
, I get up at around four o'clock every day and start preparing breakfast and other things, but as soon as I get up, I see Linton standing in the corridor.
Linton's return is naturally a big event. After all, Linton is very popular now. Originally, Des was going to wake everyone up directly and tell them the news of Linton's return, but looking at Tiandu
When the light came on, Linton didn't let him go. He first took Des and asked him what happened recently.
Des quickly introduced the situation to Linton. At this time, 11 days had passed since Linton left. Linton had so brilliantly performed in the competition that everyone came over to express his gratitude to him.
Okay. However, Klose quickly announced the news that Linton had temporarily left the city, which disappointed most of the people who came. Of course, there was nothing they could do. After all, they also came in to see that Linton was indeed not there.
After these days lasted for three or four days, the number of people who came finally decreased. The people who came here also turned their focus to the Meloway family, Linton's nephew Garsain, and his cousin
Cousins have all become targets of wooing. Garsain took great pains, but his cousin was very happy with it, just as Linton expected.
As for other things, Des is not very clear. During this period, Klose was summoned by the emperor several times, but what was discussed specifically was not something he, the butler, could know. And Garceran was also summoned by the emperor.
However, in addition to officially conferring the title of baron on him, it seemed that he also had a little private chat, but Des didn't know what they chatted about.
As he talked, it started to get a little brighter. At this time, the people below also came to inform Des that Klose was awake and ready to have breakfast. Klose was an old man after all, and he was too old to wake up.
It was early, and I was used to having breakfast early, but Des didn't take the initiative to call him today, which was strange.
Naders also directly informed Klose of the news of Linton's return. Soon Garsain was also called up, and the two of them soon came to the living room.
"You kid, you still know how to come back." Before anyone arrived, Klose's voice came over, "Do you know that I've been bored to death these days?"
"I know, otherwise why would I hide?" Linton said.
"Anyway, it's good that you come back. The magic like the seal you mentioned won't work at all. I've tried for so many days and still can't release the magic you mentioned. Please show me what's going on."
Luo Ze said.
"Isn't it possible?" Linton didn't know whether it would work or not. After all, it was just an experiment. So wouldn't it be possible to use magic instead of chakra to release magic? It is true that he can do it, but that doesn't mean that others can do it.
He was prepared, "I'll try another method later."
"After what, get it for me now." Klose said.
"No, I haven't been back for several days. I still have some things to deal with." Linton said, "I heard that the emperor has seen you. What happened?"
"Well..." Klose became serious when it came to this matter. It was indeed an important matter. "Something big happened during your absence these days."
"What's the big deal?" Linton asked.
"The largest lord in the north, Duke Minotier, declared independence from the Holy Empire of Elan, and seems to have received support from the Yetis Empire. The current situation in the empire is a bit tense," Klose said.
"Oh...what does this have to do with me?" Linton asked. It was obvious that the Duke in the north was in rebellion, and the empire must have a headache, but Linton was very surprised, what did this have to do with him.
Klose looked at Garsern next to him, who said: "When His Majesty summoned me, he said that the person who assassinated our family may have been sent by Duke Minottier."
"What?" Linton was stunned, "This is sent by Duke Minotier? What grudge does he have against our family?"
"I'm not very sure either." Gasein said, "Currently, His Majesty has not found out why he would attack our family. After all, our family is just a small family in the south of the empire. According to current speculation, it may be that he is just preparing to rebel.
It was probably a way to disrupt the South before."
"So you believe it?" Linton said, "Could it be that he was looking for a scapegoat? You see, we happened to be looking for a murderer, and then someone happened to rebel, so Your Majesty made him the murderer and gave us an explanation.
At the same time, it also allows me to keep an eye on him. After all, I am a very embarrassing person, and it is not a good thing for me to keep an eye on him."
"This... Your Majesty probably wouldn't do this," Garsain thought for a moment and said.
"Huh?" Linton looked at Garsain in surprise. He didn't expect that this nephew actually believed in His Majesty. It can be felt from his words that he still has some trust in the emperor. He had never seen this emperor before.
, now it’s just a one-time meeting, and it actually shows part of the emperor’s trust. This emperor is quite capable.
"I think although I'm not sure, it might be true." Klose said next to him. "Although I don't know why, the timing of Duke Minotier's rebellion is really strange. Shortly after the trial by combat, he
He suddenly rebelled, and there were no special signs. And His Majesty told me that before that, His Majesty had asked Duke Minotier to go to the imperial capital because he found some information that he might be involved in this matter, and wanted to invite him
To explain the situation, he directly released the news of the rebellion."
"In other words, he had a guilty conscience and was afraid of my revenge, so he rebelled directly?" Linton asked.
"After all, he didn't know that there was a saint-level person in the little Meloway family before, but now he knew that he was in big trouble, so he directly chose to take action." Klose said, "I think this makes perfect sense.
.”
"Does that make sense at all?" Linton asked.
"He has received support from the Yetis Empire. In addition to military support, there may also be personal security support." Klose said, "After all, he is facing a saint. If you want to protect yourself,
He can only seek help from the country. If he is the mastermind behind the assassination of your family, His Majesty the Emperor will certainly not be able to protect him, so he will seek protection from other empires."
Linton understood what Klose meant. Saint-level weapons should be national strategic weapons, so he had already proven that he was at the holy-level level. If the other party was really the murderer, the only way to escape his own accountability would be to
One is to prove his innocence to the emperor, but with his strength, the emperor probably also intends to win over him, and this will not favor him. So he probably chose the second path, which is to find another country-level force to protect him.
.
Looking at it this way, Duke Minotier may really be the mastermind behind this, but I don't know why this guy is targeting the Meloway family.
"So, there's going to be a war?" Linton asked.
"Yes, this battle is inevitable." Klose said, "If the Duke rebels, it doesn't matter, the other nobles in the territory will rebel just because they say so."
"Hmm..." Linton could understand this, but he looked at Garsain next to him and suddenly said, "If I guess correctly, you will also participate in this war?"
"Not only does he have to participate, he has just been awarded a military rank and is now a general." Klose said.
"This matter is very likely to have something to do with our family. I want to go to Duke Minotier in person and ask. I want to know if he is the murderer of our family members," Gassern said.
Linton was a little speechless. This emperor really used a conspiracy. As a noble noble of the empire, of course he was obliged to lead troops on expeditions. It was normal for him to be named a general. And when he sent Garsern there, he also
It's not just for your own attention. Of course, just use it. What troubles Linton is that this little nephew really feels a little brainwashed by the emperor, and he looks excited.
Thinking of this, Linton suddenly wanted to remind his little nephew of the fear of being dominated by his uncle. So Linton also smiled slightly: "I said, little nephew, do you know what I have learned from my master these days?
"
"Uh... what Ashina swordsmanship?" Garsain didn't know why Linton suddenly asked this, but he still tried to answer.
"No, no, no, that one is already outdated." Linton said, "I recently learned a new skill, so I am invincible again!"
"Uh... ok, ok, ok." Gasein held up his forehead.
"This unique skill is called the Xinwei Celebrity Biochemical Transformation Surgery." Linton continued, "It should be noted that this skill is not an ordinary skill. It not only makes me invincible, but also makes me invincible."
If others use it, it can make a person countless times stronger in an instant. This is simply a magical skill, right?"
"A skill that makes others stronger?" Klose next to him was stunned.
"Yes, it's the kind of magical skill that helps people open up the eight extraordinary meridians." Linton said.
"What are the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?" Both of them looked confused.
"It's not important. In short, this skill can make you very strong." Linton said, "Look, you are about to go to the battlefield. If anything happens, uncle, I am not a white-haired person.
He’s a black-haired person…”
"You are younger than me..." Garsain couldn't help but say.
"I told you it's not important. This skill is so awesome anyway. Do you... want a package to become stronger?" Linton said.
