The emperor saw that Chen Daolin was just sitting there and did not move, and he was a little puzzled at first, but then he inadvertently lowered his head, and his eyes swept over Chen Daolin, but he found that there was a small piece of wet under his robe, although this magician's robe was dark gray, and the damp marks were not conspicuous, no Emperor Guo was only slightly stunned, and Chen Daolin's expression was too special, so the emperor suddenly woke up.
The handsome emperor's face suddenly became very exciting, he coughed, looked at the surrounding guards with shields, and shouted in a low voice: "It's all scattered."
"Your Majesty" A commander of the Imperial Forest Army was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please leave the garden with us quickly, I'm worried."
The emperor sneered: "This kind of assassination, if you miss a blow, you will be far away."
This is my palace, will the assassins still rush over like they do in the streets, it's okay, everyone retreats first" After a pause, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Pass my order, everyone retreat from the garden fifty steps, without my order, dare to trespass, kill those who dare to snoop, kill" He was the emperor, and he gave orders in such a decisive tone, that the commander of the Royal Forest Army did not dare to say anything more, so he could only take the order.
Soon, all the guards retreated, and in this huge garden, there were only a bunch of tables and chairs in front of them that burst into ruins, as well as Chen Daolin and the emperor.
When everyone was gone, Chen Daolin sat there with a sneering expression, just looking up at the emperor.
"Nothing to be embarrassed about."
The emperor's tone was actually very gentle, and he smiled lightly: "At the moment of life and death, how many people will be scared to pee their pants."
When I was young, I was trained in the army, and many recruits were new to the battlefield, wetting their pants and crying for their parents in fear Love, this is human nature, you don't have to be too ashamed and blame yourself. ” "I" Chen Daolin suddenly didn't know where the courage came from, glared and shouted: "I'm ashamed and blame myself, I'm not scared."
He gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I drank too much water before, and because I was in front of you, I didn't dare to say that I was anxious to urinate because of etiquette, so I endured it until just now, and then suddenly jumped and ran, and I didn't hold back."
"Hahahahahaha When the emperor heard this, he was slightly stunned, then laughed, and actually walked over and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Daolin up.
"Damn, it's a shame now, if people know about this matter, I can't tell even if I have a hundred mouths" Chen Daolin sullenly.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, you saved me once, I can still do this little thing for you." ” "Well, then please ask Your Majesty to let people loosen up the clean robe and change it for me."
"Stupid" The emperor smiled slightly: "If you change clothes here, how can those servants not know" After a pause, the emperor suddenly turned around, pointed to a small artificial lake in the garden not far away, and said with a smile: "Huh" Chen Daolin glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned, he instantly understood what the emperor meant: "What you mean, it won't be for me" "That's what it means."
The emperor actually nodded and said with a smile: "If you jump down, your whole body is wet, and others won't be able to see that you have peed your pants, and there is no easier way than this." ” "But what kind of lake can I jump into?"
"It's up to anyone else to say this."
The emperor's tone was very disapproving: "You jumped into the lake, others will say that you are acting strangely, anyway, you are a magician, and you have long been labeled as acting strangely."
Are you willing to be talked about behind your back?
People laugh at you for peeing your pants."
Chen Daolin listened, didn't say a word, got up and ran all the way to the artificial lake, and jumped in with a pop The emperor walked to the lake, looked at Chen Daolin standing in the water, and then slowly sat down and sat on the lawn.
At this moment, the smile on the emperor's face finally disappeared, and a trace of anger gradually appeared in his eyes.
No matter how approachable he looks, after all, he is the ruler of this empire, he has been assassinated three times and twice, and now he has been assassinated in his own palace, it is conceivable that this emperor has tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart Chen Daolin also felt the emperor's emotions, and he gradually became a little nervous in his heart, looked up at the emperor on the shore, hesitated, and after all, he still didn't dare to say such a secret thing of the royal family, he accidentally bumped into it, in fact, it may not be a good thing, or It's better not to talk too much.
But Chen Daolin remained silent, but the emperor would not let him go easily.
The emperor suddenly looked at Chen Daolin and said, "Little Darling." ” "Ugh" "Thank you for today's events."
The Emperor's tone was sincere.
Without waiting for Chen Daolin to be humble, the emperor had already waved his hand, signaling Chen Daolin not to interrupt him, and he continued: "You are a smart person, I said that when you were on the street, although you blocked the assassin at that time, but I still have a back hand that time, and I am not afraid of the assassin.
That's why it should be Things, although I appreciate your actions, I don't feel that I owe you any favors.
But today is different."
The emperor's eyes gradually became gloomy: "The emperor of my dignified Roland Empire, in his own palace, in this heavily guarded imperial garden, can ask people to come in and assassinate such things, it is simply a great shame Today's matter has exceeded my expectations, Fang."
If it weren't for your quick reaction, I would have at least been injured today, even if I didn't die today."
Speaking of this, he slapped his thigh angrily and shouted in a low voice: "I can't imagine that these people are so capable, even the attendants around me can get through" When Chen Daolin heard this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart Because he had already heard the undisguised murderous intent in the emperor's words It is conceivable that the person who assassinated the emperor today was actually the attendant next to him, so next, this emperor will definitely carry out a big purge of all the attendants around him As the emperor, his safety is so important, those waiters like ants, I am afraid that they will all have a tragic fate, even if there may not be any assassins' comrades among them, but those people are afraid that it will be difficult to survive this kind of thing of the royal family, and it is related to the life of the emperor himself Safety is naturally based on the principle that it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one What's more, it's just some insignificant attendants and servants in the eyes of the big guys.
Chen Daolin's heart moved, he originally warned himself not to participate, but he remembered that when he entered the palace, the court attendant who accompanied him all the way was very kind to him, and later another waiter who went to pick him up to see the emperor was also a good person, and he took the initiative to take himself enthusiastically Go to the toilet These people are actually very innocent.
Chen Daolin thought for a while, carefully observed the emperor's face, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have a sentence, say it, please don't blame me." ” "You say" The emperor's sense of Chen Daolin at this moment was the best time, listening to his words, he waved his hand: "Just say whatever you want" "Hmm" Chen Daolin took a deep breath: "According to my judgment, those waiters around you should not have been bought.
It would be a pity if you were furious because of this incident and blamed these people around you. ” "Oh, what do you say," the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin sighed, and then recounted the words of loyalty to the emperor and hatred for the assassin that were revealed in the words of the attendants around him when he entered the palace today.
"I'm not a master at judging cases, but I'm a magician after all, and I can feel the speed of the other person's heartbeat, blood flow, and even the speed of breathing when someone speaks, and I can be sure that what the waiter said is from the bottom of my heart.
I thought at the time , Your Majesty, these people around you are sincerely loyal to you.
Your Majesty, you have won the hearts of the people around you so much, and you have such a loyal servant, that is the luck of the superiors. ” After a pause, Chen Daolin said again: "What's more, the assassination just now, now that I think about it, it's also a little weird." ” "Oh, what did you find," the emperor narrowed.
"The waiter who blew himself up."
Chen Daolin said slowly: "When I watched him approach, I felt that something was wrong. ” "Something is wrong" "He is a court attendant, he should have been trained in strict etiquette, and when he walked along the way, his steps were a little stiff, and his posture was a little clumsy, and most importantly, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and his gaze was sloppy, Your Majesty, you should feel the most, everything around you These waiters, when serving you, are naturally very cautious in their words and deeds, and they are extremely respectful.
When serving you wine, a court attendant should bow his head and bow his head when he dares to walk with his head up, and he will never dare to look at people.
And the man's posture was stiff when he walked, If I'm not mistaken, this should be some kind of magic. ” Speaking of this, Chen Daolin took a breath, his face became serious and solemn, and he said slowly: "Puppet technique" "Puppetry is a type of black magic that belongs to the necromancy family."
Chen Daolin said slowly: "The person who is cast will become a walking corpse, just like a puppet puppet that has been pulled by a string, and no longer has its own consciousness, and only obeys the orders of the caster.
I look at the waiter who blew himself up , must be a court attendant who has been caught in puppetry, just an ordinary person, and when he encounters a magic master who can perform puppetry, he naturally has no ability to resist.

And" When Chen Daolin said this, his heart suddenly moved, and a thought suddenly came to mind, and he couldn't help frowning, his face became very embarrassed, and he hesitated to say it.
"And what" The emperor's face was also ugly: "Don't have any worries, even if you say anything, even if you say it wrong, I won't blame you." ” "Me" Chen Daolin lowered his head, stood in the water, and said in a low voice: "I dare not say" The Emperor snorted heavily, and suddenly he stood up, walked a few steps back and forth by the lake, and then stood again, his handsome face covered with gloom Suddenly, the emperor suddenly turned his head and stared coldly at Chen Daolin This gaze seemed to have a huge oppressive force, and it actually stabbed Chen Daolin so that he didn't dare to raise his head, but just lowered his face deeply, unwilling to look at the emperor "Little Darling, don't think that if you talk and spit out, I don't know what you mean" The emperor's voice cooled down, and the seemingly calm voice faintly contained a bit of thunder that made people's hearts chill And what the emperor said next made Chen Daolin's heart tremble "I'm not ignorant of the magic of puppetry."
The emperor sneered: "But if the puppet technique, the low-level, after casting the spell, the puppet person who controls it will not be able to lose the other party's mind for a long time, otherwise, either the puppet who is accused will break free from the magic."
Regain consciousness, either, it will die, the puppet must not die, and once it dies, the spell will fail, after all, this is a puppet, not an undead creature.
And even if it's an advanced puppet, once a spell is cast on a target, the spell must not last long, as far as I know The information of the face, even if it is a high-level puppet, can only last for a few hours at most, and in order to allow the puppet to act according to the caster's intentions, the location of the caster cannot be too far away from the puppet, at least" Speaking of this, the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin deeply: "Since I know all these things, you, a magician, naturally know it very well, so you don't dare to say it, you have concerns, you are afraid because you have already guessed the caster of this puppet spell."
Judging from the time, it should be the spell that was cast two or three hours ago at most, and judging by the distance of mana, he should be hiding in my palace."
The emperor took a deep breath, and suddenly walked towards Chen Daolin step by step, and he even walked directly into the lake The shallow water of the lake had already submerged to the emperor's ankles, and he just looked at Chen Daolin like this, his eyes becoming sharper and sharper "You just wanted to hint to me that there may not be a problem with the waiters around me, and what you really need to be careful about is the magician hidden in my palace, right?"
Chen Daolin stopped talking.
That's exactly what he meant But the magician in the palace Isn't that the finger pointed directly Court magicians Court magician: This is the most important force in the hands of the royal family The degree of importance is even higher than that of the Royal Foresters The team of court magicians has always been one of the trump cards of the royal family, and this team of magicians was formed in the early days of the Roland Empire and was formed by the founding emperor Because in the Roland Empire, the group of magicians has always been led by the Magician Guild, and magicians are also detached from the world, not very subject to the jurisdiction of the empire, and may not have any allegiance to the imperial family of the empire.
The founding emperor formed a team of magicians who were completely loyal to the royal family itself, firstly, in order to restrain the influence of the magic union, and not let the magic union monopolize the entire country's magical world.
Second, it is also for the sake of having such a team of magicians, who have always controlled and maintained the strongest magic array in the White Tower of the Imperial Palace The court magician team has always been one of the most mysterious forces.
No one knows how this team of magicians has been passed down for thousands of years, only that they claim to be a line, and they have never had any intersection with other magicians in the outside world, and they are never under the jurisdiction of the magic union, but thoroughly The royal family that is loyal to the Roland Empire, even if it is passed down from generation to generation, is carried out internally, and has no to do with the outside world With such a team, it stands to reason that its loyalty should be guaranteed.
But now If it is said that one of the biggest relying forces of this royal family, in the team of court magicians, there are rebellious ministers and thieves, threatening the emperor's life at all times.
This made the emperor how to accept The emperor stared at Chen Daolin tightly, he seemed to be pondering, thinking, and hesitating.
Finally, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of this Imperial Supreme: "Little Darling, I trust your judgment" As he spoke, he suddenly reached into the placket of his neck, pulled out a pendant, and directly broke a slender crystal sword hanging on it Chen Daolin felt a subtle but extremely strong fluctuation of magical power.
After the emperor broke the crystal sword pendant, his expression became very solemn He stared at the open space of the garden, the muscles in the corners of his eyes still beating faintly.
Chen Daolin noticed that the emperor's mouth seemed to be whispering something to himself.
He listened carefully, but found that the emperor was actually counting.
"One, Two, Three, Four" Just when the emperor had just counted to seven, suddenly, on the shore of the lake in front of the two of them, there was a fluctuation and distortion in the air, and then a figure appeared in front of him out of thin air Wearing a magician's robe, the color is not the gray, black, or white of the secular magician, but a bright and eye-catching red.
Such an outfit clearly shows the identity of the other party: this is a court magician On top of that, this magician wore a high, pointed hat, and a red mage robe, with thin cirrus gold trimmed patterns embroidered on the edges and corners, and it was obvious that his status among court magicians was anything but ordinary.
With the appearance of this court magician, Chen Daolin obviously felt that the emperor had a long breath, and his originally nervous mood was also slightly relaxed.
"Your Majesty" The court magician bowed his head and saluted, his voice was very old and hoarse, and when he raised his head, Chen Daolin saw clearly that this person's appearance was very upright, but his hair was already snow-white, and even a pair of eyebrows were white, and he didn't know how old he was.
"Mage Clark."
The emperor looked at the person in front of him, his tone sounded very relaxed, but the awe-inspiring taste in it could not be concealed: "Fortunately, you appeared, if I summon you and don't come, I will be very disappointed." ” The court magician named Clark raised the corners of his mouth, as if he smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, if I don't show up, I'm afraid that now you have ordered the Royal Guards and mages to be sent to arrest me." ” The Emperor smiled: "Please understand, I don't doubt your loyalty, it's just that if even you betray me, I just can't bear that kind of pain and loss." ” Clark's expression was neither happy nor angry, he nodded, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, needless to say, I am already at this age, and I am used to seeing the rights and wrongs in this court, so I will not mind these things for a long time."
Your Majesty's ability to think of summoning me at this time is enough proof of your faith in me Ren. ” Speaking of this, the Clark magician took two steps back and solemnly bowed his head to the emperor.
His old tone carried deep self-reproach: "Today's incident, I just learned that the assassination in the palace shocked me by such a bold and evil act.
And it is my dereliction of duty to let Your Majesty suffer such a fright, and I have decided to maintain the White Pagoda from this day onwards The love is temporarily handed over to others.
From today until I catch those thieves, I will stay with Your Majesty and follow you to protect you. ” The emperor listened and nodded: "Master Clark, I thank you very much for your loyalty, you have dedicated your life to my Augustine family, and now you are also focusing all your energy on the maintenance of the White Tower, if it weren't for today's matter, I really don't want to bother you, just." ” After a pause, the emperor turned to Chen Daolin and said, "This little guest of mine has just experienced this assassination with me, as you can see, he is a magician, so he told me that Fang Cai's assassination was caused by someone who used puppetry to control my attendants."
Without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking, this Clark magician will immediately understand.
As soon as the name "puppetry" was heard by such top magic masters in the court, his heart turned slightly, and he understood the meaning of the emperor's words.
Clark's face was also a little gloomy: "Puppet hum" There was also a hint of awe and solemnity in his eyes: "In this case, this matter really has to be treated solemnly."
He glanced at Chen Daolin, and then looked at the emperor again: "Your Majesty's meaning, I already understand."
In the team of court mages, I will carefully investigate.
If this problem does come up in the ranks of court mages" In the end, the old man's tone unceremoniously revealed a trace of murderous aura "I don't want things to really get to this point, I hope we have a lot of hearts."
The Emperor sighed.
"Your Majesty, I'm not so optimistic."
Although Clark himself is a court magician, he does not excuse himself at this moment, he said coldly: "The court is heavily guarded, and the inflow of personnel is also extremely strict, and all the attendants and servants in the court, even if they are miscellaneous servants, are It is after a strict investigation of the identity and background before entering the palace, even if it is the Imperial Forest Army, they are all selected from good families with innocent backgrounds and loyal to the empire, if there are any people who secretly know magic mixed in among these people, it is possible that the surname is very small, and as long as you check the last few The people who entered the palace in the new month can be found out after a thorough investigation.
If the thieves are not among them, I am afraid."
In the end, he suddenly knelt down slowly, and said in a low voice: "That's my dereliction of responsibility Your Majesty, you and several generations of Emperor Yanjing trust me so much, and hand over the palace magicians to me to manage, if it is really a thief among the palace mages, then I am really to blame."
The emperor waved his hand: "The matter is not clear yet, so there is no need to discuss the question of whose responsibility is now." ” He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Master Clark, you can help me do a few things, first, these attendants around me, check them one by one, find out who they have been in contact with in the past two days, and those who have been out of the palace in the past two days should be paid attention to."
Don't make things bigger, Just do it in secret.
Second mage's team, whatever method you use to do it, I won't interfere, I just need a result. ” Clark stood up, nodded, and said with a slow smile: "Your Majesty trusts me so much, then I naturally don't dare to slack off, and my old bones will always have to move again." ” As he spoke, he smiled softly, took a step back, and then waved his sleeve and disappeared in place.
After this Clark disappeared, Chen Daolin couldn't help but glance at the emperor, but when he looked over, he found that the emperor was also looking at himself.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Daolin couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter, little Darling, do you think what I'm doing is inappropriate?"

the Emperor smiled lightly.
"Uh" Chen Daolin still didn't dare to speak.
"I understand what you mean, since we are suspicious of the team of court magicians, why do I dare to trust the head of this court magician so much" The emperor shook his head and said, "Other people may not be able to believe it, but this Clark mage, I can absolutely trust it."
He has always been in charge of the court magicians, and he has also personally guarded two generations of emperors.
If he had tried to harm me, I would have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't have to wait for today. ” "This, Mage Clark should be a powerful top powerhouse."
Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, he could barely sense any magic fluctuations on this Clark magician, even if the other party was standing in front of him, he could see the other party with his naked eyes, but his mental power could not detect anything, as if there was a void in front of him This kind of magical cultivation shocked Chen Daolin's heart "Clark" Emperor smiled meaningfully, and then said something that shocked Chen Daolin "He had a business with the first Duke Tulip" back then."
I'm going to go The old man who has survived from the time of the first Duke Tulip:
