How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

Although the royal family lives in majestic, ancient, and heavily guarded palaces, this does not prevent the princes from having their own private estates in the West End or other places.

These private manors often have a grandeur commensurate with the status of their masters. Here, the prince gathers with his friends—mostly aristocratic heirs of similar ages, to have fun, or to hold some dinners and dances, inviting young masters and young ladies in the imperial capital. Come here, being able to attend such a ball is enough to become a conversation piece for an ordinary noble lady and her boudoir friends for a month.

According to rumors, the young lady of the Lavis Marquis family danced three pieces of music with His Royal Highness Berland at a ball not long ago. People speculated that a princess was about to be born in the Lavis family—you know, His Royal Highness Bolan was weak and had always lived in seclusion. There were only a handful of dances and dinners held in a year, let alone three dances in a row, and he was with a beautiful young lady who had no engagement yet!

Lin Wei was sitting in the carriage heading for the West End, tapping his fingers on the delicate table in front of him. The carriage passed by the Empire Square, and the noise oncoming did not bring him back from his thoughts.

In his previous life, he didn't have much contact with His Highness Bran, and the only friendship worth mentioning was a very pleasant conversation after a certain banquet when he was a teenager, and the duke, who had even discovered a little friendship, didn't care. Exterminated mercilessly - the Thedis family chose His Royal Highness Gregory at that time, so the heir naturally had to keep a distance from Bran, even if this His Royal Highness was not favored by others, we should try our best to avoid possible suspicion .

In Lin Wei's only memory, Bo Lan was a man of profound knowledge and witty conversation, and he always kept a low profile. Coupled with his frequent illnesses, everyone felt that His Highness's ambition should be to become a university student. He is the one who assists his elder brother, so he will not covet the emperor's throne in the slightest.

However, Lin Wei, who has been reborn, doesn't think so... As Gregory's younger brother, Berlan should know Gregory better than him, and he should be clearer in his heart - if his brother ascends to the throne, then even if he If he, the current "second in line heir", is not killed, he must live in long-term danger and anxiety.

Whether it is out of self-preservation or ambition, Bolan is bound to have a fight with his brother.

And what Lin Wei planned was to use the Tidis family's power to add a very heavy bargaining chip to Berland in this competition. The possibility of what happened will be infinitely reduced, and the future path of the Thetis family will be much smoother-for a family, the greatest achievement is not leading the army, winning many wars, not relying on rich fiefdoms and unimpeded business. Road, how many resources have been contributed to the royal family, let alone marrying a beautiful daughter into the royal family.Now is no longer the era of founding the country, full of wars and iron blood, the treasury of the empire is full, and none of the emperors and princes indulge in beauty-in such a prosperous era, the greatest merit can only be support.

Of course Gregory has the ability to govern a country, but he is extremely lacking in tolerance. The suspicion and suspicion that have been born now will inevitably expand into a sharp crack in the future, and the distrust of the highest authority in the empire will not be ignored. There is no doubt that it will deal a heavy blow to the Didis family.

Instead of struggling to survive and recover that little trust, it is better to simply change the direction.

The carriage finally stopped in front of a manor.

A dark gray path extends from the foot of the arch of the same color, through the meadow and flowerbed, to the castle shaded by tall trees.

Although the prince's private manor is not comparable to the imperial palace or the aristocratic ancestral home with profound heritage, it should be as grand as possible - but the manor in front of him is more secluded.

This perfectly complements its owner - after meeting Bran, Lin Wei thought so.

The tree shadow outside the window covered the window of the reception room, so that the sunlight would not appear as bright and dazzling outside, nor would it make the room extremely dark as if it were covered by a thick curtain.

A slender young man stood up from the armchair inlaid with crimson gold. He had long dark chestnut hair and blue eyes, and his slightly pale face was matched with lips that lacked blood. With a sick face, his movements are still polite and elegant, and he does not have the decadent attitude that people who have been ill for a long time often have.

"Lin Wei—we haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time I talked to you was at Earl Ferdinand's dinner two years ago."

With a faint smile on his face, Bran started the conversation with a reminiscence. His expression was always gentle and natural, never showing the slightest strangeness.

"It's a pity that there won't be a banquet for us to meet again in the future - magicians are not very popular." Lin Wei replied.

To be polite, he, who was single-handedly raised as the heir of the family, would naturally be able to, but it is not necessary here.First of all, he is a magician now, and there is no need to follow the etiquette on the mainland. Moreover, the royal family wants to inquire about some news about the magical world through him. Lin Wei also has his own plans. Instead of hiding it, it is better to express his unwillingness to talk nonsense from the beginning attitude.

——This is not an endless exchange of pleasantries and gossip between the nobles. Naturally, the simpler the better.

"Although I said this, I welcome you here at any time—if my brother hadn't always hated demon mages, the nobles' attitude towards mages would not be what it is today."

Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat.

There is a play.

Berland's remarks seemed to be complaining for himself innocuously, but they intentionally or unintentionally emphasized the fact that Gregory "hated demon mages".Even before Gregory ascended to the throne of God, his preferences had already affected the attitude of the nobles. What about after ascending to the throne of God?

From this point of view, Berland had already keenly foreseen the possible rift between the Didis family and Gregory, and there was actually a little bit of intention to win over what he said!

Lin Wei went on with the words: "His Highness Gregory has always had a bad attitude towards magicians—I thought that when he received the invitation from the royal family this time, he would come to ridicule me."

"That's not enough," Berland smiled and shook his head: "He's just a little unhappy that the Thedis family lost an excellent heir."

"I hope so." Lin Wei made a helpless expression: "I'm just a little worried that this will make him misunderstand my family."

Bo Lan just lowered his blue eyes slightly, and did not reply to this topic, but after a short silence, he said to Lin Wei: "What you thought just now was actually right, this time it should be brother who came to you , It’s just that some things have happened in the imperial capital recently, and my father is worried that my brother’s attitude will have some bad influence, so he left the matter to me to handle.”

"You say so, does the matter have something to do with the magician?"

"That's right... today I invite you here on behalf of the royal family, in fact, because I need the help of a magician for something." Berland said slowly, with a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "You know, the founding of the empire Over the years, we have gradually lost contact with the wizarding world, and now we have something to inform the Magic Association, and there is really no other way to contact them."

Something was lost in the treasure vault, and then the empire wants to contact the wizarding world?

"Of course I am willing to do things for the empire," Lin Wei said, "but I can't think of anything in the empire that needs the help of the Magic Association."

"It's like this," Berland explained: "A very precious magic item was stolen from the treasure house of the empire, and the method of the theft—except for magicians, no one can solve the problem of the treasure house's strict guards. .”

"There is a magician who stole the magic items in the empire's treasury—then why did you tell the Magic Association?"

"Because this magic item has great lethality, if someone uses it, it will cause huge damage no matter whether it is used for the empire or the magic world."

Hearing what Bolan said, Lin Wei was almost sure that what he had lost was the scroll of forbidden spell "Alloy Gold" that he had in his previous life.

However, the means by which the empire obtained the scroll was not very glorious, and it was stolen by a magician. What good would it do to tell the Magic Association about it?

I only heard Bolan continue: "Brother thinks this is a provocation from the magic world, and hopes to negotiate directly with the Magic Association, and even use force, but I don't think this happened at the behest of the Magic Association.

First of all, although the relationship is cold, there is no need or reason for the wizarding world to provoke us, and even if they have hostility towards the Empire, they don't have to express it in this way.

Therefore, I think that the magician who committed the theft is not under the jurisdiction of the Magic Association, so it is difficult to say whether his intention is against the empire or the magic world—so we need to inform the Magic Association of this matter and ask them to help search for the magician. The whereabouts of a dangerous thing, if it is aimed at the empire, then it solves a crisis of the empire, if it is aimed at the magic world, we can only consider it as a good deed-maybe we can win the favor of the magic world. "

Speaking of this, Bo Lan seemed to continue with some helplessness: "Father agreed with me, and because of this, brother lost his temper a lot."
