The news that "Alan was appointed as the Master of the Mage Tower" spread quickly as if it had wings.
Later that day, this news flew out of the Mage Tower and reached the palace of the Braden Kingdom.
When Queen Margaret heard the news, she was staying in her study, quietly flipping through the documents placed on the table - some of these documents were intelligence transmitted from the front line, and some were from naval bases.
Some of the battle plans were recently discussed by the cabinet and are awaiting her reply.
Whenever she saw these documents, Queen Margaret would often feel her head ache and her heart extremely depressed.
It’s not just that there are so many things to do that it’s frustrating.
What's more, her subordinates, especially the ministers in the cabinet, are very verbose when writing proposals.
No matter what you write about, you have to use flashy, hard-to-read cursive characters, plus all kinds of gorgeous words and complicated rhetoric, for several lines, and then start writing the real thing, and then continue.
At the end, there are several more lines in the same way, praising the Kingdom of Braden and praising Her Majesty the Queen.
In other words, at least half of every document is nonsense.
Queen Margaret naturally knew why those ministers did this——
The ministers very much hope that when Her Majesty the Queen becomes impatient with the proposal, she will sign "agree" on it without thinking. In this way, Queen Margaret will become a nominal monarch of the Kingdom of Braddon.
The real power will be in the hands of the cabinet.
Because of this, no matter how boring these proposals were, Queen Margaret could only bite the bullet and read them carefully word for word.
If this kingdom is left to the care of the old men in the cabinet, who knows what it will become.
However, at this moment, her personal maid Lila suddenly walked in in a hurry. After bowing to her, she said, "Your Majesty, there is something very important."
"What's going on?" Seeing Lila's face, Queen Margaret frowned slightly.
Because according to past situations, if you see Lila's face flushed and her temples sweating like today, something extraordinary must have happened.
Could it be that the Church of Light has launched another attack on the Braden Kingdom?
Queen Margaret felt a little worried.
Because she didn’t know how much strength the Church of Light would use in this attack, and whether the messenger would step forward again and single-handedly replace him like he did when he was at the kingdom’s naval base.
Braden Kingdom shelters from wind and rain.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Alan York has become the new Master of the Mage Tower." Lila quickly calmed down and reported.
"Oh, that's it." Queen Margaret's reaction far exceeded Lila's expectations.
The master of a mage tower who is under twenty years old is a shocking thing in itself, but Queen Margaret's calm reaction is no different from hearing a trivial household incident.
However, the maid Lila thought about it and thought about how Her Majesty the Queen obeyed Alan York not long ago, and she figured it out.
It seems that no matter what earth-shattering things Alan York does, Her Majesty the Queen will not have the slightest emotional fluctuation - because in Her Majesty's view, it is a matter of course that Alan can create miracles.
Lila felt that Alan York must be hiding an extremely shocking secret in private - this secret not only brought Alan great talent and rapid advancement, but also allowed him to obtain the title of Her Majesty the Queen.
of respect.
"Could this Alan York be the descendant of a certain magician in history?" Lila, the maid, secretly guessed in her mind, "And he inherited an extraordinary bloodline from that magician.
?”
However, at this moment, the maid Lila suddenly realized something that shocked her——
She discovered that the looks of Her Majesty the Queen and Alan York were very similar to some extent.
They all have jet black hair, blue eyes, delicate facial features, and tall and thin figures. If someone is unaware, they may even regard them as biological siblings.
In the past, out of respect for Her Majesty the Queen, Lila never dared to comment on the Queen's appearance, let alone compare Her Majesty's appearance with others.
She believed that it was an offense to Her Majesty the Queen.
But today, when this thought appeared in Lila's mind, she couldn't get rid of it.
"Is it possible that... Alan York has royal blood?" Lila thought in her mind, "The ancestors of the York family did marry into the royal family, but Alan's father, Earl William York, and several of his brothers were not long-lived.
It looks like this!
"Or... Alan York is not the son of Earl William, but the illegitimate son of the late king?"
Thinking of this, Lila was startled and quickly drove this terrible thought out of her mind.
"No, this is impossible," Lila shook her head repeatedly, "I must have thought wrong. This must be just a coincidence.
"But no matter what, it is a good thing that Alan York can become the master of the Mage Tower. At least, when the royal family cooperates with the Mage Tower in the future, the resistance will be much smaller, and the formulation of combat plans will be smoother.
"Unlike some old magicians with rigid ideas - well, they think magicians should be aloof, stay in the tower to do research, do what a 'superior' should do, and don't want to get dirty on the battlefield.
My own hands. If such a person becomes the master of the mage tower, the Kingdom of Braden will be doomed."
…………
After that, alchemist master Wald and Mage Tower student Selina Solomon also learned the news quickly.
When they heard the news, the two of them were still in the warehouse, continuing to study the inscrutable magic circles carved on the magic cannon.
Although during this period of time, they did not fully understand the operating principles of these complex magic circles, they gained many new insights in the field of alchemy.
Especially Selena.
Since she only started learning alchemy this year, she spent most of her time learning knowledge from books with Wald, or helping Wald.
Occasionally, I would try to make some gadgets myself, but these were only superficial attempts, and most of them did not have much technical content.
Therefore, the alchemy knowledge in her mind is only scattered and fragmented, without a fixed system.
However, after starting to study the magic cannon, she felt that she began to understand it unconsciously.
