After burying Amir's mage tower deep underground, Kiki followed Amir back to the Asshai Magic Association, and went to the source island from the teleportation magic circle there.

Kiki originally wanted to go to Chimera's castle and return to the source island from there, thus saving a high-level magic core, but Amir warned him that doing so would easily expose the teleportation magic circle over there, and sent Kiki himself to the island. Go to the Yasha Magic Association and watch him disappear in the teleportation magic circle.

But Amir did not go to the source island with Kiki, but turned around and went to Chimera Castle, where Kiki wanted to go but failed. Tell it to Tina who is waiting there, and on the other hand, start preparing for the assessment of the great magician.

Since it is the second time to participate in the assessment, Amir does not need to prepare the recommendation letters of the three great magicians. He only needs to set the start time of the assessment and hand over the assessment application to Kiki, the current president of the Magic Association.

And Amir set this day five days later, which is the same day that Hill and Lizzy held their wedding.

Keech didn't know if it was a coincidence or Amir's deliberate arrangement, but he didn't intend to attend the wedding at all. Even if Amir didn't arrange it like this, he wouldn't go to do something like the last engagement ceremony.

——It’s really enough to do such a stupid thing once!

Keech doesn't have any expectations of Hill now, whether he marries Likkie or not, he doesn't care, and he doesn't want to bother.

In a blink of an eye, five days later, Amir arrived at the source island on time, and handed over the application letter for the great magician assessment to Kiki.

Keech didn't know what Fernando did when he submitted the application letter. Anyway, when it was his turn to host this time, he didn't even say those ceremonial words.

After confirming that Amir will take part in the Great Mage Examination, several Great Mage from the Shadow Council got busy.Because Barosh was protecting his two relatives in Oz, he couldn't get away, so he could only remotely assist them in contacting the witnesses during the assessment process, but Zuckerberg rushed to Source Island the day after the matter was finalized , instead of Keech, completed all the affairs that should have been done by the president, including those established questions and answers on the day of submitting the application letter.

Amir did not regard time consumption as the selection criteria for assessment tasks like Kiki did. He carefully chose three assessment tasks with low difficulty. I went to the Tower of the Sun, had lunch with him, and even meant to have dinner together.

"Not in a hurry?" Keech asked suspiciously.

"It's rare to come here once, of course you have to stay long enough before you go back." Amir replied with a smile, "By the way, your older sister has already inherited the duke title of the Lucifer family. After today, the Balotelli family That young master will share everything in the Lucifer family with her."

"What does that have to do with me?" Keech asked back with a curled lip.

"Hmm...it doesn't seem to matter." Amir shrugged his shoulders in a good mood, "but another matter is related to you - the emperor of Yalong wants to return the title and territory of the Chimera family to you , please take some time to sign some paperwork."

Kitsch frowned, "Can't you handle it for me?"

"Then you need to write a commission letter first, otherwise I can't replace you." Amir replied solemnly.

"You go and write it, I'll just sign it." Keech said indifferently.

Amir sighed helplessly, "Well, you can be a little lazy, really."

Judging from Amir's happy appearance, Hill's wedding should have been held as scheduled, but Kiki doesn't know what the wedding was like and whether it went smoothly.The distance between Yuanjima and Yasha is too far, and the microphone that Hill returned to Kiki has become a decoration, and Kiki didn't ask anyone about the situation that day, let alone the idea of ​​meeting Hill again.

But three weeks later, Keech received an invitation he had to accept—the succession ceremony of Sirius.

Keech was suddenly confused.He didn't hear the news of De Rossi's death, so why is Sires going to be the emperor?After the explanations from the people around him, he realized that De Rossi had to take the initiative to abdicate because of the attack on the city of Assia, and handed over the crown and throne to Sires to inherit.

As the president of the Magic Association, unless Kiki intends to list the Yalong Empire as a hostile country to the Magic Association, he must attend this celebration and bring enough valuable gifts.

When mentioning the gift, Kiki remembered the magic core of light that he put in the storage ring, and then remembered that the storage ring was in Amir's hand all the time, and he didn't know whether he forgot to return it or didn't want to return it at all.

Keech wasn't very interested in the storage ring, but the magic core of the light system was a bit difficult for him, and he always had an uneasy feeling that once it got close to the stomach of the nightmare beast, it would regenerate into a nightmare beast.

——Forget it, anyway, I don’t know what the magic core is for, so it’s better to keep it away from the nightmare beast’s stomach.

Thinking of this, Kiki used the communicator to notify Amir who was doing the trial mission outside, and asked him to bring the magic core in the storage ring with him when he came back to hand in the mission, and the authority was to give it to Sirius enthronement gift.

Amir originally did not agree to give away a rare magic core, but Kiki insisted, and expressed his worries, and Amir himself really didn't know what the magic core could be used for, so he hesitated for a while, and finally Yes agreed to Keech's request and told Keech that he would accompany Keech to attend the succession ceremony of Sirius.

Five days later, Kiki took Avella through the teleportation magic circle and arrived at the Asshai Magic Association.

Amir and Everton are already there.Since the official succession ceremony will be held tomorrow morning, Everton accepted the invitation of the empire to take a certain degree of guard work, so he just came to greet him and left in a hurry, leaving only Amir to accompany Ki Qi went to Tina's mage tower.

Kitsch expected Tina to come, but she didn't.

Amir told him that Tina had given up research on magic weapons and spent every day in magic and meditation, concentrating on preparing for the senior magician assessment in the second half of the year.However, judging from what Amir said, he didn't seem to be optimistic about Tina's assessment, and even decided that it was impossible for her to pass.

"It is impossible to succeed in magic through surprise practice, and she wasted a lot of time. Not to mention the advanced magician examination, even if it is an intermediate level, she may not be sure to pass it in one go." Amir said helplessly. explained.

Kiki blinked, and wanted to say that the magic pattern had been basically successful, but he hesitated again and again, but he couldn't say it.

Tina is not Avella, she is actually full of pride in her bones, she may not be willing to accept this kind of cheating method, if her curious nature is aroused, it will be easy to leak this matter, let Avella's junior magician There was an accident in the assessment.

Amir didn't seem to care about Tina's ability to pass the senior magician examination. The mage's tower concentrated on practicing magic, so Avella was called to help clean the mage's tower.

Then, Amir talked to Kiki about the arrangements for Sirius's succession ceremony.

Sirius’ succession ceremony will last for three full days, but Keech has to attend only the coronation ceremony early tomorrow morning and the gala dinner that night. Participation is not necessary, and some cannot be involved at all.

Early the next morning, Kiki put on the president's robes that had just been made, and put on the storage ring that had been kept with Amir, and then he and Amir took the carriage of the Magic Association to the The royal palace of Asshai City sailed.

Avella did not follow, saying that she would stay and clean up the Mage Tower.

Keech didn't force her, and she didn't ask her the real reason why she didn't want to go—he wouldn't even want to go if he could. It's so comfortable to sleep in bed early in the morning!

Kiki’s habit of going to bed late and waking up late has not been able to adjust since he left Hill. Today he got into the carriage while yawning, and slept all the way to the palace of Asshai City, and then he was pushed awake by Amir. He got out of the carriage sleepily, surrounded by several magicians, entered the hall where the coronation ceremony was held in a daze, and sat down in his seat.

Keech had no idea when Sirius entered the hall and what he did in the middle.The coronation ceremony of the Yalong Empire was too quiet, and the occasional soundtrack was also low and heavy. Therefore, during the whole coronation ceremony, Kiki never opened his eyes and kept his head down. Drowsy turned into deep sleep.

In the end, seeing that Siris had put on the crown handed by De Rossi himself, and was standing in front of the throne to receive congratulations from everyone, Amir pushed Kiki awake, dragged him out of the chair, who was half asleep, and The crowd stood and applauded together.

After such a toss, coupled with deafening applause, Kiki finally sobered up a lot.But at this time, the coronation ceremony had also come to an end. Seres, wearing a crown on his head and holding a scepter, walked out of the hall where the coronation ceremony was held, accompanied by Adong, who was also dressed in a splendid attire, and boarded a golden carriage that toured the city .

Some nobles wanted to participate in the parade with Sirius, but guests like Keech who simply came to watch the ceremony did not need to continue to follow.Kiki yawned again, and followed Amir to leave the palace through the side door of the hall, preparing to contact Tari for a short rest, and then come to the dinner in the evening.

After leaving the palace, Kiki remembered something, and immediately asked Amir, "Can you stop by the Chimera's old house?"

"What are you going to do?" Amir was slightly taken aback.

"Xiu Qi asked me to bury my grandmother's ashes in the old house of the Chimera family. As a result, I had been busy during that time. I forgot all the ashes and my luggage at Barosh's mage tower. Recently, Avella helped me pack up. , asked me what it was, and I just remembered it." Keech replied casually.

"Have you brought the ashes?" Amir twitched his lips.

"I told Avella last night that I asked her to put me in the carriage. She shouldn't forget, right?" Kiki replied uncertainly.

Amir glanced at Kiki helplessly, opened the car window, told the driver to stop the carriage, then jumped out of the carriage, looked in the trunk at the back, and saw that Avella had put the silver jar containing the ashes in Once inside, the coachman changed direction and went to Chimera's old house.

Just when Keech finally remembered to send his grandmother back to the old Chimera house, Hill was sitting in a parade car in a daze.

Two days ago, his father Angel suddenly told Hill that after Sirius ascended the throne, he would transfer the earldom of the Balotelli family to Hill in advance, and he would go to the countryside to live in seclusion and become a full-time painter .

Hearing such words, Hill couldn't help but feel doubts—even if the new emperor of Sirius is destined to take back certain aspects of power, making Angor have to stay away from the imperial capital to separate the relationship, it won't be enough to avoid suspicion and even the title of knighthood. Transfer out so thoroughly.

—There must be other reasons!

Hill asked immediately.

But Angel was ambiguous, and was finally forced by his son to have no choice, so he told him implicitly that after Sires succeeded to the throne, De Rossi would leave Asshai and travel around the empire. Reese's escort is to ensure the uniqueness of the center of imperial power, lest someone use De Rossi to interfere with Sires' governance.

And Angel will also leave with De Rossi, and will not return to Assia for a long time. Naturally, he will not be able to deal with family affairs. It is better to transfer the title and power to Hill directly, and let him go as soon as possible. Start practicing.

This kind of answer is specious. Xierming knew that there must be something inside, but he couldn't continue to ask.

Just as Angel never pointed out the relationship between him and Keech too much, he couldn't go deep into the relationship between Angel and De Rossi. Even if he guessed something, he couldn't open his mouth to ask, let go .

But inexplicably, Hill still felt uneasy.

Hill had something on his mind, so he didn't pay more attention to Li Qi who was sitting beside him.However, even if he had nothing to do, he still wouldn't take her seriously.On the night of the wedding and in the next few days, Hill finally fulfilled her husband's responsibilities with the help of the medicines her father had prepared. A few days ago, Lizzy also had pregnancy symptoms as he wished, although the time was too long. In short, even if the doctor is not sure whether she is really pregnant, it still makes Hill breathe a sigh of relief.

——As long as he can give birth to this child smoothly, his marriage can be regarded as over.

Hill thought to himself.

That night, Hill took Lizzy to Sirius' celebratory dinner.

Today's Lizzie can no longer see the civilian atmosphere of the past, her every move is the same as those pure aristocrats who grew up in the upper class since she was a child, her dress is no longer the luxury and fancy of the past, and everything is just right. Show the bearing and style that a married marquise should have.

But Hill wasn't interested in appreciating his wife's change.In his opinion, what Li Qi has changed is nothing more than her appearance, and her essence is still that innocent girl who loves vanity but is empty and boring.What's more, the so-called change was just because of her vanity.If possible, he would prefer to bring Sandora to such a dinner party to help him make more useful connections, instead of bringing Lizzy and attracting a bunch of jealous ladies and young girls to himself.

Hill ignored Li Qi, just kept searching the hall with his eyes, and soon saw the black robe with the sun logo embroidered on it, and the familiar figure wrapped in the robe.

In the morning, due to various restrictions at the coronation ceremony, Hill couldn't find the opportunity to talk to Keech, but at this moment, he didn't want to miss it anymore, and immediately said to Likki, "I'll leave." Step up to Keech.

Li Qi grabbed him, smiled but said meaningfully: "No matter who you are going to see, accompany me to have a word with Keech before leaving, okay?"

Hilton's heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked at Li Qi, but Li Qi didn't seem to have any abnormality, as if he really just wanted to talk to Ki Qi, but didn't dare to go there by himself.The Scholars Forum hesitated, Hill nodded, "Okay."

"Thank you." Li Qi smiled slightly, took Hill's arm, and walked with him to where Keech was.
