Lance's heart trembled violently, and he almost doubted his eyes, but then remembered another question.

Who is Pound's "master"! ?

Because Lance met Pound for the first time in the scroll shop, he had a vague intuition that Pound would not be an ordinary person.

Facts have proved that his vision did not go astray. Pound later showed his light system ability. At the welcome dinner, Lance even saw Pound's courage and meticulous thinking. At that time, Lance took Pound into his own. list of business relationships.

Next, the turmoil in the arena and the mission by the lake let Lance know that he had underestimated Pound's elemental magic.After returning from the lake, Pound seemed to encounter many adventures again and again.So far, Pound's accumulated auction amount in the auction house has already exceeded several million gold coins.

Pound, who is so capable, rational, calm and thoughtful, has a bright future in Lance's eyes.

How could such a person be willing to regard the master as his servant?

Lance thinks this way because the creation of the "Magical Pattern Servant", according to the imperial decree, before the "Magic Pattern" is branded on the human body, it is necessary for the "Magic Pattern Servant" to sign and agree on a magic power scroll.

Judging from the background of the imperial system and the great disparity in the rights and interests of nobles and civilians, the above-mentioned requirements cannot come from the concept of "human rights". The reason for this lies in the balance of power.Because when the "Magicweave Servant" was first created by the great enchanter Gresta, the Magus Guild cooperated with Gresta to use the profits from selling the magicweave (or forcibly using the magicweave) to create a magic pattern in a short time. A huge force of demon envoys aroused the vigilance of Hesti at that time.Naturally, the imperial power of the empire is inviolable, and immediately, the empire took a series of drastic measures to restrict the magic pattern servants.

As mentioned before, the branding of the "Magic-striped Servant" must be approved by the person, the total number of "Magic-striped Servants" held by a family cannot exceed the regulations, and Gresta must surrender the "Magic-striped Servant" "method to the Imperial Household, as a constraint.If there is a violation of the first two, heavy punishments will be imposed to restrain servants who intend to use the "Magic Rune Servant" with coercive dominance to achieve the rebellious goal of raising private troops.

I won’t mention much about the struggle between the Magus Guild and the empire at that time, but to this day, the series of control measures adopted by the empire are still effective.Under the heavy punishment, there was no situation where "magic pattern servants" flooded.After several decades of development, the number of "Magic Rune Servants" is limited, and they are relatively rare, so they gradually escaped the role of "servants", and prefer some kind of "mutual trust" or "oath" between the masters and ministers. .But even so, this will not change the essence of the "Magic Rune Servant": the master has unlimited distance tracking and fatal control over the Magic Rune Servant.

That's why Lance was so surprised.

He couldn't think of anyone who could make Pound surrender voluntarily and put his life at the disposal of others?

Of course, there is another possibility that the agreement Pound signed was forced.Because although the empire has upward control, there are always ways to circumvent it among those who are interested.

But just when Lance was in doubt, he saw that Funk stretched out his hand and gently covered the back of Pound's neck.

That movement was as natural as brushing Pound's hair.

After this action, Pound's hair, which had been brushed away just now, returned to its original place, covering up that dick again.

Looking at Pound again, I saw that he didn't even tilt his head slightly to dodge his funk movements, and he still talked and laughed as usual, as if this touch had been performed countless times as a matter of course.

A few days ago, the scene where Funk dragged Pound back to the room suddenly flashed through Lance's head.

Rude, wanton, like Funk has the right to make Pound do what he wants.

And the look that Funk gave himself before closing the door, thinking about it now, can be completely interpreted as the meaning of "stay away from my things".

So, could it be... Funk is the "master"! ?

Having this idea once again shocked Lance.

Because he didn't think funk was enough to "control" Pound.

Even though Funk, a northerner, has amazing magical powers, his intelligence, response and determination are completely inferior to Pound.

Lance recalled the past with the two of them. All conversations were led by Pound, and all decisions were made by Pound. Even in the auction house, every transaction was linked to Pound. name.Funk is just a person standing beside him silently, he has always been just a "guard" in Lance's eyes, how can He De have Pang De! ?

What's more, if Funk is really the master, Funk has more than just the "Magic Rune Servant"...

He can also kiss Pound and touch Pound as he likes...

The scene in front of Pound's mansion was suppressed by Lance for a long time, and now it popped up and stabbed Lance's heart.

But at the same time, a dark hope emerged in Lance's heart.

...Because, Lance couldn't help but wonder whether Pound, who was treated like that, really did it voluntarily.

Looking at Pound, who was holding a child in front of him and acting as usual, Lance secretly clenched his fists, deciding that he would find a way to figure it out.

Since Mao Tuan and the others found the capital, Pound and Funk could not let Mao Tuan and the others outside before the threat of an unknown attack was resolved, while they continued to stay in the glorious Santo Doan Academy.

Although Ge Ya had also conveyed the message, Lancer and other orcs came with them. After escorting them into the academy, the orcs went to a nearby place to find a place to stay.What Geya was looking for was not an ordinary hotel, but a short-term rented independent private house, so it was better to arrange fortifications for the next few days.Thinking about it, Ge Ya agreed to bring the two young ones here, after some evaluation and planning, it was not impulsive.However, this does not affect Pound's spanking punishment on Maotuan tonight.

So next, Pang De went to Mr. Inster, expressing the need to temporarily live off-campus.Pound is not a player, and in Mr. Inster's view, there is no doubt about his safety (he doesn't know Pound's own "condition"), so it's okay to not make things difficult.And Inster is so easy to talk, mainly because Pound is Sol's apprentice. Pound also knows that he is consuming Sol's reputation, so he decided in his heart that during the next game, he should not leave the old man behind. face.

It's just that as soon as everyone left the academy, apart from Lancer who was waiting outside, there was also the head of the bodyguard of the Empire's Seventh Regiment, the Astlan Group, whom Pound had met a few days ago.Pound knew that even during the few days he lived in the academy, these people still followed around and carried out their "tasks".Taking the initiative to appear now, presumably things have changed differently.

Sure enough, when the chief guard saw Pound, he approached and gave a military salute, "His Royal Highness Pound, His Royal Highness has prepared a residence for His Royal Highness, and His Highness has no one else to look for, and he can move in at any time with peace of mind."

The benefits of Gonza seem to be more and more given, but they are not the point.

Pound said lightly, "The only condition I will consider is an 'explanation', I believe the captain knows what I mean."

Hearing this, the chief guard took out a scroll and handed it over respectfully, "Your Highness, please have a look."

Pound was slightly surprised, and opened it after receiving it.

At this time, the hairball in his arm and the funk next to him also poked their heads over.

A few seconds later, Pound raised his eyes and exchanged glances with Funk, and then said to the chief guard, "Your Excellency, please lead the way."

***

An hour later, a luxurious and spacious cart appeared in front of an annex in the southwestern hilly area outside Santo An.

The exterior of the annex is a bunker-shaped building with a towering outer wall and a square tower, standing on the top of a relatively high hill.Its whole body is made of white stone with green patterns, and the key carvings make it elegant yet elegant. With the gentle and open green space around it, the scene is clean and natural, making Goldo want to lie on the car window Taking a breath, I couldn't bear to close the window after seeing it.

Such a beautiful annex is too gorgeous to say that it is used for military purposes, and all the entrances and exits of the annex, as well as the battlements on the outer wall, can be seen in groups of armed guards in armor standing guard or patrolling. The security specifications say it is military. Fortress is not an exaggeration.The annex doesn't look that big from a distance, but when the cart gets closer, it's almost as large as a small town.

As the cart entered the city, the armed guards guarding the gate immediately stepped forward to question him.After confirming the entry token with Reed (that is, the head of the Astlan bodyguard that Pound recognized) and talking for a while, he nodded and let him go.Based on this series of investigations, Pound guessed that this kind of heavily guarded control is not just for his pedestrians.

Could it be that someone still lives here?A question flashed through Pound's head.

From the fragments of information that Pang De had learned from chatting with others, he vaguely knew that Gonza had been married for several years and had two sons.But Gonza's family members seem to live in the second prince's palace, and they do not live apart from the second prince and his wife.And the second prince's palace is not here. The luxurious palace is next to the southwest of the imperial city. A few days ago, an enthusiastic entourage introduced them to them during the visit itinerary arranged by the Glory Santo Doan Academy.

Just when he thought of this, the cart stopped.

Reed yelled outside the car, then opened the car door for Pound and the others, and welcomed the group into the main building of the annex, including Langcer and the others who followed.

At this time, an old grey-haired steward stood in front of the gate of the main building, and behind him were a group of servants, who all bowed and saluted when Pound and the others got off the car.Although Pound gradually learned about noble etiquette, he still had no idea whether such battles were normal or abnormal, so Pound glanced at Geya at the side as a consultation, and he saw Geya's expression was strange and surprised , Seeing this, Pound became somewhat clear.

The bowing old steward also ended his etiquette at this time, and then raised his head. After seeing Pound, his expression fluctuated obviously, but the old steward successfully suppressed it with his years of accumulated experience and qualifications. that emotion.

He lowered his head again, with a slightly hoarse voice, "Your Highness Pound, the prince has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me."
