Chapter 265 Arthur's Inference

"Humph! You're so sharp-tongued!

If you have the guts, come out and fight me. I can beat you!"

Yahad looked at Hugh Grandet with disgust, then looked away. He didn't want to waste any more time on such scum.

The outside world only knows that Hugh Grandet is a veteran of two dynasties and has a profound background.

But who knew that Yahad, Arthur's elder brother, was equally powerful.

Not to mention that the resources provided by the royal family to Ahad were no worse than those of Hugh Grandet, even his qualifications were far superior to the latter.

The time gap of thousands of years can be caught up with talent.

Then, his expression changed, and his cold expression instantly turned into a bright smile.

"Mr. Lin Miao, did that old bastard scare you just now?"

"Not really. Although Mr. Hugh Grandet looks like a treacherous villain, he is actually quite honest."

"upright?"

Brighton looked at Hugh Grandet suspiciously, but he didn't see how the other party was related to these two words.

Lin Luo shook his head, glanced at the furious Grandet, and said lightly: "At least, he behaved like a real villain and didn't pretend to be a hypocrite."

Poisonous snakes are not scary. What is scary is that they know how to hide.

Hearing this, Davis nodded subconsciously, thinking that this made a lot of sense.

The resentment on Yahad's face disappeared instantly. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed, and found Lin Luo more and more interesting.

He speaks neither humbly nor arrogantly, and no matter how high his status or how strong he is, it cannot disturb his mood.

This is not the courage that can be brought by a few twelfth-level scrolls.

You know, even if these scrolls can be released quickly, there is still a possibility that the enemy will seize the opportunity and launch a sneak attack.

So, in their opinion, Lin Luo was dancing on the edge of a knife and was overconfident in himself.

"What an ignorant boy!" Hugh Grandet cursed in his heart, his face turning black with anger.

He clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles.

"Don't think that just because you have a strong person protecting you, you can brazenly provoke an eleventh-level mage!"

"A high-level mage cannot be insulted! You are courting death!"

"If I want you dead, you will definitely not survive tonight!"

Hugh Grandet cursed wildly in his heart, but it didn't hurt Lin Luo at all.

The thick fog under his hood still had a smiling face that looked like a clown.

"Mr. Lin Miao, it's probably unwise for you to provoke a high-level wizard like this." Hugh Grandet's face was frosty and his eyes were cold.

"Sorry, verbal threats don't do much for me."

Lin Luo didn't care at all. He took out a twelfth-level scroll with one hand, stood up and opened his arms: "Come on, if you are a brother, come and chop me!"

Seeing this, everyone present was panicked and terrified.

You can beat us and scold us, but don’t take our lives as a joke!

The twelfth-order aura added by the system is too real, so even though these scrolls only have tenth-order power, they look no different from real twelfth-order peak scrolls.

The officials could not see the real situation and did not dare to make any judgment.

Besides, when had they ever seen such violent behavior?

Could it be that this person learned this method from the orc warriors?

In an instant, not only Hugh Grandet's face turned pale, but even the Brighton and others standing beside him turned pale and bloodless!

"Mr. Lin Miao! Please put down the scroll first. How about we talk peacefully?"

"Hey, you shameless old thief, look at what you said."

The thick fog rolled and transformed into a smiling face that deserved a beating. It pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Are you anxious?"

Hearing this, Hugh Grandet felt a surge of heat rushing to his forehead.

I almost had a cerebral hemorrhage!

In the end, he could only sigh and said with a thick face: "Mr. Lin Miao, I feel a little unwell, so I will leave first.

Please discuss all matters with Davis and Han Jinyou."

It was he who secretly instigated the attempt to reduce the profits of "Universal Pavilion", but it caused a conflict.

And now, not only did he fail to succeed, but he got himself into trouble.

"Rather than staying here and humiliating myself, it's better to return to the Heuglan family and make plans early."

Hugh Grandet had someone prepare an apology and planned to find some free time to try to win over "Lin Miao".

He didn't think Lin Miao could resist the temptation of cultivation resources.

At the very least, using resources to ease the relationship between the two should be more than enough.

After saying this, Hugh Grandet stood up and walked out the door without looking back.

"Master Hugh Grandet, take care!"

The neutral officials stood up and spoke.

Hugh Grandet has a complex network of connections in the court. Apart from the faction that supports the princes and princesses, the rest of the ministers have some relationship with him.

Seeing this,

Han Jinyou's face was full of conflict. He couldn't stand up and see him off now, but he couldn't not stand up and see him off either.

The former will attract the attention of all parties, which is equivalent to stating that he is in the same camp as Hugh Grandet.

The latter means turning against one's own side at the last minute, which may cause a strained relationship with the Hugh Grant family.

Moreover, Hugh Grandet patted his shoulder meaningfully when he passed by him.

This is forcing him to express his position in advance!

After thinking about it, Han Jinyou forced a bitter smile on his generous face.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly saw Yahad beside Lin Miao looking at him with a smile, holding out an alchemical long sword that was shining with a cold light.

Han Jinyou swallowed hard, his legs softened, and he sat back in the chair in an instant.

"It's not my fault, it's mainly because the enemy was too foul!"

There was sadness on his face for a second, but it immediately turned into a smile. He hurried to Lin Luo and asked about his well-being.

It’s nothing more than changing a partner. Wouldn’t it be better to change to a stronger one?

Han Jinyou assessed the situation and felt that if he turned to "Lin Miao" now, it would be equivalent to abandoning the dark and joining the light, and the future would be promising!

After figuring this out,

His face was full of flattery, and he looked at Lin Luo with a fiery gaze, as if he saw a smooth road leading straight to the sky through him.

"Dad... No, Master Lin Miao, if you have any instructions, I promise to satisfy you!"

“…”

Seeing Han Jinyou, who weighed more than 200 pounds, rushing towards them with a flattering smile on his face, Lin Luo and his group suddenly felt a chill.

Yahad had a bad temper and instantly kicked the other person in the face.

"Stay away from me! Don't come near me!"

Bang--

Han Jinyou's figure flew backwards, and his fat body hit the wall, leaving a deformed "big" character.

However, although it looked a bit violent, Yahad knew when to act.

Han Jinyou only suffered some minor injuries, and the smile on his face remained, just like a dog.

“I…I understand…”

This is his talent, to be shameless.

In order to survive and for his career, he would accept it even if he was asked to die, let alone be beaten!

…

Inside the Royal Palace Square.

The statue of the goddess of war, radiating divine light, towers into the clouds, and the eighteen pillars surrounding the square glow with a faint blue light.

Beams of golden light shot out from the top of the crystal suspended on the pillar into the starry sky, as if guiding something.

And at this moment,

Old Arthur, carrying his decayed body, walked out of the palace with the help of his maids. Behind him was Altria Ars, surrounded by a group of concubines.

Many members of the royal family looked up at the starry sky, eagerly waiting.

Looking around, among the many mages, there are many eleventh-level peak mages.

These mages have a strong and long-lasting aura and sharp spirits. They are all powerful warriors with considerable combat capabilities. They are not comparable to fakes like Brighton.

Of course, the Second Prince Sifar and the First Prince Sisko were also standing among the waiting royal crowd.

However, the latter was gazing at the starry sky with burning eyes, while the former's attention was half on Altria, who was doted on by the concubines.

There was a flash of resentment and resentment in Xifaer's eyes.

It was unknown what kind of opportunity Altria encountered during this training, but she actually broke through the fire rules to the second level of humanity, and the road to promotion to the seventh-level magician was smooth.

According to her current progress, it is only a matter of time before she advances to the eighth level.

As both are heirs of the royal family, the more dazzling Artoria is, the more anxious Sifar becomes.

Old Arthur's health was getting worse day by day.

Even though the ancestor is a twelfth-level wizard, he is not a healing wizard and cannot be of any help in treating King Arthur. It will be useless even if he comes.

Judging from the current situation, once old Arthur can no longer hold on, Artoria will definitely be supported to take the position.

At that time, all of Xifaer's real power will be taken back, and he will become a completely idle prince.

The only possibility is...

rebel?

Absolutely not.

If he raises this banner, Master Muller, who supports him, will definitely teach him how to reincarnate.

Xifaer frowned in thought, looking towards the government building.

Judging from the intelligence sent by Han Jinyou, the ability and background of the mage "Lin Miao" will definitely give him an absolute advantage!

He casually took out the twelfth-level peak scroll, and there was more than one.

A superpower suspected of possessing dozens of twelfth-order mages...

All these things forced the Aklan Empire to summon the ancestor.

On the one hand, it is to prevent possible conflicts and gain a glimmer of hope for the Aklan Empire; on the other hand, it is to help the Aklan Empire maintain its face.

If you don't even have a twelfth-level magician, you will unconsciously be shorter than Lin Miao when talking to him.

Therefore, what they are waiting for now is naturally the guardian of the Aklan Empire.

An elder of the royal family instructed: "According to the time, the ancestor should be here soon. Let's prepare ourselves and tidy up our appearance. We must not make him unhappy."

"yes!"

Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately released their mental strength to check themselves, fearing that something might go wrong accidentally.

At this time,

Cefar suddenly received a letter from Hugh Grandet. After reading the message in the letter, his expression gradually became amused.

"I thought this neutral elder was so powerful, but I didn't expect him to be just like that."

Beside him, a charming woman noticed his change in expression and put her arm around him, asking, "Your Highness, what good thing happened that makes you so happy?"

"Nothing much, only that Hugh Grandet wanted to place a bet."

The woman was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Could it be that Master Grandet has expressed his opinion?"

She clearly remembered that Hugh Grandet had firmly stated yesterday that he would not favor either crown prince.

The result is,

Changed your mind today?

Xifaer sneered and explained in a voice transmission, "Han Jinyou said that he and Master Lin Miao had a falling out and were ready to try to reconcile.

The most important thing is that many of the things he did in private were exposed by Lin Miao, who had just arrived.

Moreover, Lin Miao seems to have all the evidence of Hugh Grandet's crimes."

The woman in the black dress nodded slightly. "So, Hugh Grandet wants to leave himself a way out?"

"right."

Xifaer looked at Artoria, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to analyze: "Hugh Grandet is in a high position, he must be unwilling to give up.

But I think I will never let him live so carefree until then."

Even ants try to survive, and even cunning rabbits have three burrows.

Hugh Grandet has been running the business for so many years, how could he be the kind of person who would just give up?

But what was the use of his dying struggle?

After a while, Xifaer withdrew his gaze and waited for the ancestor to return.

In fact, he hadn't said anything yet.

That is, Hugh Grandet promised him 50% of the Hugh Grandet family's property, only asking that Cefar not dismiss him from his position after he ascended the throne.

"What a tempting reward! But I can't protect him."

Sifar didn't quite understand what Artoria really thought about the throne.

But he was well aware of her hatred of evil.

If Artoria were allowed to ascend the throne, I'm afraid there would be a lot of killing and the entire Aklan Empire would face a major purge.

Behind old Arthur,

A group of concubines surrounded Artoria, asking her about her well-being and showing her great concern.

Artoria felt inexplicably uncomfortable as she looked at the group of girls in front of her who usually didn't like her and suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

At this time,

A message was sent to his communication magic device.

"Hugh Grandet?"

Altria looked at the information on the message Davis gave, and her slender eyebrows frowned slightly.

"This damn old fox."

She cursed inwardly and immediately forwarded the message to her father.

However, the other party's reaction was just as she expected.

Old Arthur had a calm expression. Although he was still in his prime, his face was covered with age spots.

He did not talk about Hugh Grandet immediately. While he was quietly waiting for the ancestor, he asked in a voice transmission: "Liya, what do you think about this matter?"

"Father, are you talking about Hugh Grandet or Lin Miao?"

"I want to ask what you think of Lin Miao."

Old Arthur didn't look back. His strong body seemed a little hunched at this moment.

"He's quite powerful and remains calm in the face of danger. He seems to be a good cultivator."

"Hmm? That's all you can say about him?"

Old Arthur smiled slightly and did not comment on this assessment.

As early as when Lin Luo arrived, he used a high-level magic weapon to secretly spy on him.

Although not much useful information was obtained, at least we learned that the other party's current mental strength should be around the high tenth level, and his bone age is roughly under 100 years old.

All this information is inferred from the information remaining in the space.

After all, the strength that is revealed cannot be hidden.

Just like the words that have already been spoken, there is no way to cover up the decibel of the words.

However, even if we know that the other party's strength is not worth it, it doesn't mean much.

What tenth-tier mage wouldn't be polite when meeting an eleventh-tier mage? How could he dare to brazenly confront anyone he met?

Therefore, Old Arthur made a bold guess... Lin Miao did not come alone, there was a high-level wizard behind him!
