The Servant of the Magic Marks of Transmigration

"Is it the order of His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Pang De asked directly.

Since these people stayed where they were and reported their identities, they presumably got some authorization to disclose them.

"Yes," the leading young man with extremely short hair saluted, "Your Highness recently learned that there was an attack around His Highness Pound, so he ordered you to accompany him as an escort. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."

"Your Highness?" Pound couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words. The "Your Highness" that the young man said was quite surprising.

Only close relatives of the royal family can use the title "Your Highness", and it is a felony to pretend to be a royal family if you call it casually.The young man who is one of the law enforcers of the empire is called so naturally, the only possibility is that the "superior" clearly admitted his identity...

But this is not the same as Gonza's previous sentence "it depends on your choice".Could it be that something else happened during this period that made Gonza decide to actively win him over, even regardless of whether he appreciated it or not?Such a wishful show of favor does not seem to be in line with Pound's previous hearing of Gonza's iron-blooded style.

Pound was surprised from the bottom of his heart, and the young man didn't respond to Pound's question, and continued, "In addition, the defenses around His Royal Highness Pound's residence have also been completed. From today onwards, our team members will be stationed and patrolling around the clock. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

And hearing this, Pound's newly raised resistance was slightly reduced.This kind of guard arrangement obviously took the safety of the two little ones at home into consideration, showing that what Gonza was going to do was exactly what Pound needed, and it was not just based on some theory of blood and bullshit.Even if it is a gesture of favor, the direction is quite accurate and correct, and it can be seen that Gonza should be a sensible person and understand what he is doing.

Pang De didn't waste his time arguing about the appellation, "Will His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, reveal who did the attack?"

"Your Highness has already grasped it, and is currently verifying it," the young man replied, confirming that the answer will not be announced before.

But this answer was enough for Pound to know the rest.

"So, the real target of the assassination was me, not Funk, right?"

In fact, from the moment I saw the Gonza people, things could only be guessed in this direction.

Simple logic, Gonza wouldn't have cared about the attack on unrelated Funk, so it must have something to do with Bond...

In addition, let Gonza so naturally consider the safety of Pound and Funk on the same level, it is more likely that Gonza may know the magic pattern on his neck, and Funk is the owner.The matter of cooperating with the magic pattern was framed by Berlin, but at this time Gonza's statement was contrary to Berlin's. Could it be that there is a family fight between the two brothers?

Pound quickly thought through various clues, but he couldn't figure out a few of them.

But the young man only answered Pound's question, "Your Majesty is ordered to protect the safety of His Highness Pound and his family!"

No matter how much Pang De knew, he would not be able to ask, so he returned to the topic, "Then please tell His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Heir, we don't need these, please withdraw the team."

Even if it is certain that Gonza wants to show his favor, Pound doesn't think he should accept it.In particular, even if the second brother Berlin was responsible for the magic pattern, whether Gonza and the old man of the second prince who acquiesced in the title of "His Royal Highness" are not responsible at all, Pound believes that Gonza still owes "Lord" an explanation; if Gonza really If you want to win over yourself.So before that, Pound would not accept this kind of situation.

The young man was not surprised by Pound's refusal, he just saluted, "I'm only following orders, forgive me," after finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Pound's response, and flashed back to the original position after leading the person, which showed that he planned to follow Pang from afar Germany in the end.

Pound raised his eyebrows, thinking that Gonza's attitude was neither high nor low, but it was difficult to refuse, and he had some skill, so he turned his head and explained a few words to Funk, but he saw that Funk's expression was not very happy.

Seeing Pound yelling secretly, as expected, Funk said with a rather dark face, "...you knew it earlier? Knowing it, you still run around with me?!"

Pound decided to blur the focus, "Is there a difference? Do you know that things are not different?" Doesn't it mean that I followed you and you followed me.

Funk frowned fiercely, but he really couldn't find any words to refute.But knowing that the enemy's target is Pound instead of himself is two completely different things for Funk. It is rare for Funk to beat Pound and declare forcefully, "We will not go out from tomorrow!"

Pound decided not to mention that he didn't stop Funk from going out before, and nodded reassuringly, "Okay, try not to go out," he thought after a pause, "But the capital still has to go, I promised Master Sol, and I can't break my promise."

Funk stared, and then wanted to say something, Pound immediately added, "And I will never leave your sight, okay?"

Funk didn't answer, but picked up Pound again with a dark face.He decided to go home immediately.

Pound quickly cooperated; unconsciously, his movements were a bit like Mao Tuan coquettishly, "I promise."

But Funk was too angry to notice, and just asked dissatisfiedly, "Why? Tell me clearly! What do you know!! Why did the target become you?! What relationship do you have with that highness?" !?...」

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the journey, Funk asked one after another, as if all the doubts and worries that had been suppressed before had burst out.

Pound felt Funk's tighter and tighter arms, and couldn't help rubbing Funk's frowning brows.While thinking about how to explain it satisfactorily, another option also came out.

He seemed to be able to tell Funk more, about their first night.

Apart from traveling through that period, he no longer had to hide it.

***

The college magic competition held every four years has been participated by four colleges.

They are the Glorious Santo Doan in the capital, Rogner in Pandexi, Fernandez in the Northeast, and the Saint Laurent Prayer Association under the jurisdiction of the Central Church.The latter is not a formal college system, but an educational institution used by the church to train young pastors.But five or 60 years ago, when the church was in control of the state affairs, because the church was so prosperous, many outstanding talents were absorbed into this prayer meeting. Therefore, in order to adapt to the current situation, the competition equated the Saint Laurent prayer meeting with Yu Academy accepted it, and this practice has continued to this day.

Even though there are only four academies participating, their credibility seems to be questionable, but in the case of extremely uneven resources between nobles and commoners, these four academies together have the support of nearly [-]% of the aristocratic families of the entire empire. The strength can almost represent the magic ability of the latest generation of the empire.

Therefore, the four-year competitive competition is an important stage for each school to show its strength in front of the aristocratic families across the country in order to gain more support and influence.Naturally, when sending representatives to participate in the competition, all of them are selected by the talents of each school, and most of them are senior students who are about to graduate.Over time, under the perception of everyone, this competition has become a competition stage dominated by graduates.

As for the method of the competition, it was quite rough and simple.

That is to say, five representatives from each school will be randomly drawn, and they will fight against each other in a single-elimination system. The academy representative who wins the championship in the end will win the laurel crown that belongs to the academy for his own academy.This means that even representatives from the same academy have a competitive relationship with each other.

As for the conditions for becoming a representative of the academy, there is only one limitation, that is, being able to use elemental magic to fight.Therefore, no matter if it is a magician, an enchanter, or a magician, all apprentices from these three departments have the opportunity to participate in the competition.The competition doesn't particularly distinguish between categories, and if the lottery is drawn, it will match up to reflect the use of elemental magic. It does not distinguish between categories and methods, and only emphasizes the central idea of ​​final victory.

The previous spirit is also reflected in the method of judging the outcome.Either one party admits defeat, or one party cannot fight.

And this "battle can't" allows major injuries, but death rarely happens. After all, the young people participating in the competition are the mainstay of the empire's future. If it happens, the rescue magician who is on standby will make a move without hesitation.If this makes it impossible to determine the outcome of the game; for example, in such an extreme situation where both sides die together, it is just a re-competition.

Among the five representatives of Rogner Academy this year, there are two magicians and enchanters, and one Mowu.

In fact, each Rogner Academy participates with this lineup, mainly to emphasize that it has a complete three-academy system, which is unique to Rogner in the empire.But also because of this balanced consideration, the selection of representatives was somewhat restricted, resulting in the fact that Rogner College rarely won the championship (of course, the lack of teachers is also a reason for the glory of Saint Doan, but Rogner never admitted it).

However, the head of Rogner's school this year is full of confidence, because the outstanding graduates of this year are very evenly distributed in the three schools. A strong high-end graduate, and no matter who wins, as long as he can win the long-lost crown for Rogner, he, the head of the school, will be able to leave a name in the history of the school.

For this reason, the head of the academy even asked Master Sol to lead the team to the capital to participate in the competition as a rescue backup and team leader. At the same time, he hoped that Sol could use the magic of light to organize the physical conditions of the players before the competition, and compete in a perfect posture .But before leaving, Sol was replaced by a student who even had to repeat the grade.If it weren't for Pound's excellent performance in the report on the mission by the lake; he also had the effect of highlighting the strength of the younger generation of the academy, the head of the academy would not be able to nod so easily.

So Pound's trip to the capital was inevitable.

In this way, he was thrown into this team full of the pride of heaven.

And the leader of the team was changed from Master Sol to Mentor Inster*.Inster's mentor is Lance's mentor, and the school doesn't know if there are some factors of network considerations. In addition to the contestants, Lance is allowed to assist the team leader to go to the capital to participate in the competition as Inster's assistant apprentice.

It's just that Lance is a little absent-minded about such a good opportunity to develop contacts; even though others should not be able to see it.

But Lance knew that whether it was the pre-departure meeting before departure, or the moment of assembly and departure, or the moment when he arrived in the capital and was assigned to the dormitory, his eyes would inevitably drift in the direction of Pound.

At that time, Pound's side naturally followed Funk; as a guard.To say that a light-type magician is accompanied by a guard, this statement is quite accepted by ordinary magicians.So Inster, who led the team, was a little suspicious after hearing this (because it was unnecessary), but he didn't stop it.

However, what Lance noticed more in his heart was that the atmosphere between Pound and Funk seemed to be different from the previous scene that made Lance sting.

There seems to be some contradiction between the two.

In the few days before the competition, Lance had been thinking about this all the time.

The author has something to say: *Inster actually appeared in Chapter 12~

In addition, celebrate the number of words breaking personal records *.*/
