In an inconspicuous house on the outskirts of Lund City, the capital of Braden Kingdom.
The house is small in size and the decoration is very simple, which is quite consistent with the low-key style of the owner of the house.
Edward Lynn, the prince of the Kingdom of Ferrand, the president of the University of Cambridge, and the quasi-prince of the Kingdom of Braden, is currently sitting on the sofa, staring intently at a copy of the "Braden Morning News" on the table in front of him.
This is not the latest issue, but the torn and wrinkled paper of the newspaper from a few days ago, as if silently telling others that the news above has expired.
However, to this day, Principal Lin En still has not thrown the newspaper into the wastebasket.
On an inconspicuous page of this newspaper, there is an article written by reporter Rodgliosi, which tells the daily anecdotes of the students of the Mage Tower.
In order to write this article, Reporter Rhodes specially interviewed the famous genius magician Alan York, and got first-hand real information. In addition, Reporter Rhodes's writing skills are not bad, and he told the whole story vividly and humorously.
.
However, this article is not the focus of Principal Linn's attention.
At the bottom right of this page of the newspaper, there is also a black and white photo taken by Alan York during an interview in a cafe.
It was a photo of him and a thin young man.
In this photo, Allen gestures with scissor hands and smiles brightly; however, the smile of the thin young man next to him is a bit stiff, as if he was dragged over unwillingly to take a photo.
"Alan York, this kid, is actually not simple at all..." Looking at this photo, Principal Lin En thought silently in his heart.
However, at this moment, several beams of light suddenly appeared on the floor of the living room of Principal Lin En's house, forming a bright six-pointed star, which made Principal Lin En unable to open his eyes.
Then, in the center of the six-pointed star, a figure wearing a black windbreaker and a silver mask appeared, looking particularly mysterious.
Principal Lynn glanced at the wall clock on the wall, shook his head helplessly and said: "Don't you know? According to the custom of Braden Kingdom, when you come to someone else's house as a guest, you should come ten to fifteen minutes later than the agreed time, so as to
It is the courtesy of a gentleman to be fully prepared for the master."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Linn," the mysterious man in black replied, "I really want to do as you say, but I'm too busy and there are many things I need to do later."
Principal Lin En smiled and commented: "Sit down! You are really a busy man."
The man in black did not sit down.
He saw the "Braden Morning News" on the table, pointed to the photo of the thin young man with Alan York and said: "Mr. Lynn, I think... you should know Andre Field's
Show your true identity!"
Upon hearing this, Principal Lin En narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Did you guess it?" He was silent for a moment, and then asked word by word.
"It's not difficult to guess," the mysterious man in black chuckled and said, "Mr. Linn, please forgive me for being blunt. As the prince of the Kingdom of Ferrand, you should have more than one half-brother, Andre.
Bar?"
Principal Linn did not answer immediately.
He picked up the newspaper from the table, stared at the face of "Andre Field" for a few seconds, then rolled up the newspaper and put it aside.
"If I told you that this is actually just a pretense, would you believe it?"
The mysterious man in black nodded and replied without hesitation: "I believe it."
Upon hearing this, Principal Lin En gave him a meaningful look: "You are the smartest person I have ever met, bar none."
"Mr. Lin En is ridiculous," the mysterious man in black said with a smile, "The best way to hide a piece of gossip is to cover it up with another piece of gossip.
"Having an illegitimate son is harmless to your father, but for some people, it can be a fatal blow."
"What do you want to do when you come to me in private?" Principal Lin En stopped smiling and his expression gradually became serious.
"Mr. Lynn, if I guess correctly, you have been secretly taking care of Andre in recent years, so that he can successfully enter Cambridge University and then enter the Mage Tower," the man in black said,
"I think you should know who his mother is."
"Aren't you curious who Andre's real father is?"
"His father... Since we already know everything, why bother asking more?"
Principal Lin En looked at him seriously.
The silver mask glowed with a cold light, completely hiding the changes in the man's expression and demeanor, leaving only a pair of clear blue eyes visible.
"Tell you, what can I get?" he asked, sounding as philistine as a merchant in the market.
"You are the 'favored one' appointed by the Pope of the Church of Light," the mysterious man in black replied calmly, "I think you will definitely not refuse if I hand over Braden Diocese to you."
This tone is really loud. Principal Lin En sighed silently in his heart.
"Diocese of Braden...it's not my turn," but he shook his head and said, "There is a young auxiliary bishop lining up in front of me!"
"Howard has no interest in Braden Parish," said the man in black. "After this incident, he should choose to go to the Pope's parish."
"The Pope...he is really an ambitious young man."
Principal Lin En was very impressed with Howard.
When he was studying at the University of Cambridge, Howard's grades were among the best. He monopolized several scholarships in the mathematics department and was famous in the entire grade. Except for Alan York, who later appeared out of nowhere, no one could grab it.
Take his limelight.
Principal Lynn also personally presented several awards to Howard.
After Howard entered the Mage Tower, it did not go beyond Principal Linn's expectations. He felt that with Howard's excellent performance, it was completely natural.
Until Howard joined the Church of Light and rose to the top, becoming the auxiliary bishop of the Church of Light.
Think about it, a junior whom you were once proud of can become equal to yourself in the blink of an eye. This kind of thing sounds like a dream.
"He went to the Pope's territory not just because of ambition." The man in black said.
There was another brief silence after that.
Principal Lin En thought about it again and again, and finally said slowly: "Then...it's a deal."
After he finished speaking, he tore off a piece of paper from the newspaper, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote a line of words on it, then folded it and handed it to the mysterious man in black wearing a mask.
"You won't regret your decision today."
The man in black bowed slightly and took the note.
Just as the man in black was about to turn around and leave, Principal Lin En suddenly stopped him: "Wait!"
"Mr. Linn, do you have any other instructions?"
Principal Lin En pondered for a moment and asked: "I'm just curious, why have you been planning this matter for so long? I really can't see what benefits you can get from it."
"Mr. Lin En, in this world, not everything can be measured by reason and interests," a soft sigh came from under the silver mask of the man in black, "You may not believe it.
So by doing this, I just want to preside over a just trial."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bright six-pointed star appeared on the ground again.
The man in black stepped into it and then disappeared.
