I really can't control myself

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 originally got up early, and then he was relatively industrious. He got up at around four o'clock every day and started preparing breakfast and other things. As a result, he saw Linton standing in the corridor as soon as he got up.

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 briefed Linton on the situation. At this time, 11 days had passed since Linton left. Linton had so brilliantly performed in the competition that everyone came to him to show his goodwill. However, Klose quickly announced 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 had also come in to see that Linton was indeed not there.

After three or four days like this, there were finally fewer people coming. The people who came here also turned their focus to the Meloway family, and Linton's nephew Garsain and his cousin became the targets of the wooing. Garsain took the trouble, but his nephew and cousin were 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 beyond the knowledge of his butler. Gasser was also summoned by the emperor. In addition to officially conferring him the title of baron, it seemed that he also had a slightly We chatted privately, but Des didn’t know what they were talking about.

While talking, it was getting a little brighter. At this time, the people below also came to inform Des that Master Klose was awake and ready to have breakfast. After all, Klose is an old man. He wakes up early as he gets older and is used to having breakfast early. As a result, Des didn't take the initiative to call him today, which is also strange.

Nades directly told Klose 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 does not mean that others can do it. He is prepared for this, "Then I will try other methods."

"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."

"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." Gaseon 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 just be that he is 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 just let him be the murderer and give us an explanation. At the same time, it also allows me to keep an eye on him. After all, I am a very dangerous 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 while and said.

"Huh?" Linton looked at Garsain in surprise. He didn't expect that this nephew actually believed in His Majesty. From his words, it could be felt that he still had some trust in the Emperor. He had never seen this Emperor before. , now we just met him once, and he actually showed part of the emperor's trust. This emperor is quite capable.

"I think although I'm not sure, it may be true." Klose said next to him. "Although I don't know why, the timing of Duke Minotier's rebellion is indeed 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. Now that he knew he was in big trouble, 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, of course His Majesty the Emperor cannot protect him, so he will seek protection from other empires."

Linton understood what Klose meant. Saint-level weapons should be national strategic weapons. Then he had 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 to the emperor that he is innocent, but with his strength, the emperor probably also intends to win over him, so this will not favor him. So he probably chose the second path, which was 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."

"Well..." Linton could understand this, but he looked at Garsain next to him and suddenly said, "If I am not wrong, you are also going to 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," Garsain said.

Linton was a little speechless. This emperor really used a conspiracy. As a noble nobleman of the empire, Gasein is of course obliged to lead troops on expeditions, and it is normal for him to be named a general. And when he sent Gasan, it wasn't for his own sake. Of course, just use it. What troubled Linton was that this little nephew really felt a little brainwashed by the emperor, and he looked 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 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 other people 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. Anyway, this skill is so awesome. Do you... want a package to become stronger?" Linton said.
