The yard suddenly became quiet, except for the unbridled noise of children.
Master Kusius's movements froze for a while, but soon recovered.
I saw him smiling nonchalantly. He immediately got up and hugged the son behind him and threw it to the housekeeper. He smiled and said to Colin:
"Duke St. Chapman, I didn't know you were coming. It's a little rude. Please forgive me."
Colin looked at Mage Kusius with a playful look, and seeing the other party's calm expression, he didn't seem to be embarrassed at all by his ugliness being seen by outsiders.
"It's okay, I just became a father myself, so I can understand your feelings very well."
Master Kusius burst out laughing, and immediately greeted Colin warmly to come into the room and take a seat, and brought him tea and water himself.
"My lord, what is your order for you to come today?"
Colin smiled slightly, and without arguing with him, he said straight:
"Have you paid attention to the latest news from the East Territory?"
"I heard some..."
"You said, where did they have the courage to kill my students?"
"Mr. Ho has always been very tricky when it comes to demagoguery."
Colin's eyes flashed and he immediately said:
"So, you're sure that the messenger behind the scenes in the East Territory is Mr. Ho?"
Master Kusius sighed, took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Colin, and explained:
"My lord, to tell you the truth, this is a letter that Mr. Ho sent me some time ago, and he wants me to go to the east to help him."
Colin hurriedly scanned it and asked:
"Then why didn't you accept his invitation?"
Master Kusius shrugged and said with a smile:
"Lord Duke, I've already settled down in Winter City, and I don't want to be involved in these things. Moreover, with my relationship with the Duke of the North, it is better for my son to seek a future for his son than for him. Go to Yeville and study those boring arcane knowledge.
What's more, I've actually confessed to you a long time ago that I've never been optimistic about Mr. Ho, this man is too conspiratorial, but he doesn't know how to manage his power down-to-earth, and now he can only rely on some small tricks to deceive people. Not really a person who can do it. "
Colin smiled noncommittally. He didn't know if he believed the words of Master Kusius. He just asked:
"Tell me, why did Mr. Ho instigate those nobles from the East to fight against me this time?"
In fact, this was Colin's biggest doubt.
The Eastern Territory was swept over by the blood cavalry army he led a long time ago. It is impossible for those Eastern Territory nobles not to know what the outcome of fighting against Ke Lin would be.
Moreover, the main troops in the eastern border have now been transferred to the front line of the Loire Valley, and those who are left behind are all second-line troops, and they are even more vulnerable in front of the blood cavalry army.
Colin really couldn't figure out where their courage came from.
As for Mr. Ho, Colin didn't think he would pose any threat to him.
Although this person occupies the body of a paladin, judging from the fact that he was chased around by Prince Lehi, his real strength is actually not as good as that of a real paladin.
And in the state of the real body of the blood clan, Colin is a stronger existence than the paladin of the same rank, so it seems that dealing with Mr. Ho is not a problem at all.
What's more, Colin also has a paladin blood slave.
Then, why did Mr. Ho dare to incite those Eastern nobles to murder Ke Lin's students?
Master Kusius touched his nose and smirked:
"Lord Duke, this... I can't tell. However, in my opinion, the trump card in Mr. Ho's hand is probably the [Eye of Judgment]."
Gu I </span> Colin actually thought of this too.
But to be honest, he didn't think Mr. Ho could use the [Eye of Judgment] again.
You know, the casting conditions of this forbidden spell are no longer a secret.
The tragedy of the Falling Eagle City has long spread throughout the empire, and the nobles have been sufficiently vigilant against Mr.
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to hand over their own territory, the root of their dependence, and become a sacrifice to Mr.
If the lord himself is a mage, it is still possible. After all, exchanging the territory for the body of a paladin is crazy, but it is not unacceptable.
But the only mage lord of the Radiance Empire is Vera.
And Vera is not yet a sixth-order mage, even if she wants to cast a forbidden spell, it is impossible.
Therefore, Colin felt that this time, Mr. Ho should not use the [Eye of Judgment] as a basis to move the aristocrats of the Eastern Realm.
Of course, Colin would not be unprepared for this.
In fact, when he got the news of the change in the Eastern Territory, he had already sent a group of blood slaves to the Eastern Territory.
According to previous experience, the use of [Eye of Judgment] requires at least 300,000 sacrifices, and there are five large cities with more than 300,000 people in the eastern border, all of which have been secretly guarded by Colin's blood slaves.
Once it is discovered that the city may be sacrificed, these blood slaves will look for the caster and kill them desperately.
Seeing that Mage Kusius couldn't provide any useful information, Colin didn't ask any further questions, so he went straight:
"Mage Kusius, I'm going to leave for the Eastern Territory tomorrow to thoroughly investigate the truth of Eckert's death. In addition, I'm also planning to go to Yeville. I don't know if you are willing to go with me."
With a straight face, Master Kusius asked:
"Sir Duke, you went to Yeville, I don't know why..."
"I want the Council of Mage to become a vassal of the empire and accept the supervision of the royal family!" Seeing the change in the face of Mage Kusius, Ke Lin slightly eased his tone and said, "Of course, I can give Yevil a certain degree of autonomy, allowing They continue to study arcane arts independently, but it is impossible to allow them to remain in the imperial system and even threaten the empire from time to time!"
Kusius breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Sir Duke, UU Reading thank you for your kindness and tolerance. I believe that as long as the empire does not regard mages as blasphemous heretics, the Council of mages is willing to reach an agreement for peaceful coexistence with the empire.
Well, if you don't dislike it, this time I am willing to be the middleman to help you persuade the Council of Lawyers. "
"Thank you for your help." Colin nodded with satisfaction, then got up and prepared to leave.
But Mage Kusius quickly stopped Colin again, saying:
"My lord, I have another request..."
Colin's eyes flashed, knowing that the other party was going to take the opportunity to make a condition, so he said lightly:
"You say."
Master Kusius smiled and said a little embarrassedly:
"Lord Duke, it's like this, my naughty son admires you very much and wants to be a great knight like you, so... can you make him your student?"
Colin secretly complained—how can a kid want to be my student?
"Of course there is no problem, being able to be..."
"Abby."
"Well, it's my honor to be Abby's teacher."
Kusius clapped his palms excitedly: "That's great, I'll call the little guy!"
After speaking, he rushed out of the meeting room.
