Chapter 395

Qi Yu turned her hand over, dragging a core in her palm, the blue flowing light left a galaxy in her eyes.

"Leviathan, I hope... you can give me an answer. Things here will be over soon, and it's time to revive you. Don't let me down."

Chapter 41 Monkey Show Begins

The next day was still under full martial law.

The official response was that the remnants of Orlan assassinated Lin and were likely to retaliate against the entire king.

In December, in order to welcome the God's Birthday on January 1, several continents will enter a busy period similar to the Spring Festival travel rush. Both civilians returning home and merchants taking this opportunity to make money will increase greatly.

At this time, martial law actually has some impact on daily life, which is also for the overall situation.

Lin has already gotten up and eaten breakfast, looking energetic. In the corner of the second floor of the library, he pulled Yu'er who was going to find him.

Teleportation cannot be directly teleported under the other party's nose.

As a layman who can teleport but can't calculate coordinates and positioning at all, find him without being discovered by the other party. There are only two ways.

One is to write down all the spells that appear in your mind when you start the transmission, and then hand them over to Qiyu, so that the real god of learning can locate the coordinates.

However, the biggest problem is that the skill spells given by the system are very different from those in this world. Qiyu has to decrypt them again, which is a bit troublesome.

The second method is the only feasible and simplest one.

Rin goes directly to him, and before he comes out of the crack, Qiyu stops him along his trajectory. Based on the coordinates of his last appearance as the center, he can quickly find the other party's trace in a small range.

The above method is inspired by the last time Rin ran to meet Lina privately and was caught by Qiyu when he was about to arrive.

Rin took a deep breath, stood up and stretched his arms.

"Fox, you must seize the opportunity and use your ability last time. Don't be early or late, otherwise our plan of playing the long game will not go so smoothly."

"You still don't trust me?"

Qiyu rolled his eyes at him, crossed his arms, and urged Rin to start quickly.

Lin nodded, used his skills, and soon his body was sucked into a tiny crack.

The speed of space transmission was extremely fast. In just a moment, Lin saw a faint light, which was the guiding light of the end point.

If the speed was faster, he would almost have no time to give up the exam. Soon he felt someone grabbing his shoulders, and the next second he was dragged out of the transmission channel.

Lin blinked, looked around, and sure enough, he returned to the corner of the library.

Qiyu put him down and disappeared again. Lin sat down to read a book for a while, and she didn't wait long before she returned.

Lin handed over a cup of hot milk tea and asked, "Did you find him?"

"I found him. He's alive and kicking. He looks like he's been playing all night. I'm not worried at all."

Qiyu just took a sip and felt it was a little too sweet, so he handed the cup back to Lin.

"I've left a mark on him. If he leaves that area, I'll notice it."

Lin took the cup and took a sip, frowning slightly.

Silly Roe Deer usually drinks such sweet milk tea. No, next time I must control her sugar intake.

But Lin didn't want to waste it, so she simply held her breath and drank it all at once. After finishing it, she took a sip of soda water to suppress the sweet taste that choked her throat.

"There is one more thing, junior brother, I observed him for a while... To be honest, I can't see any trace of the hero's remaining breath in him. Even if his rank was deprived, it is impossible for me not to sense the so-called nemesis at all."

Qiyu thought about it and added: "And his talents and abilities are quite ordinary, nothing to attract attention."

Just a little observation, Qiyu didn't get any useful clues from reading his mind.

"Anyway, we'll know when we catch him. If he's just an ordinary person in the Death Apostles Organization, why would their master give him such an important task, and two elemental swords?"

"This is indeed a contradiction. Forget it. There's no need to worry about it now."

Qiyu patted Lin's shoulder, motioned him to sit down, and then continued his previous work, explaining the basics of spatial operations to Lin.

Unknowingly, the whole morning passed. In the afternoon, Lin took Fei Miao to tutor. When Xiye came to find Lin in the evening, the two of them took a carriage back to Phoenix's house together.

In the carriage, Xiye handed a stack of names in his hand to Lin.

"This is the list of people attending the party today. The one with the highest status is a cousin of Orlan, who is currently a marquis. There are also two people who are relatively close to him, both of whom are earls."

"The rest are collaterals with distant blood relations. It just so happens that the annual debriefing meeting of the entire royal capital will be held soon, so they have all arrived recently."

Rin glanced at the list and the general introduction, and then threw it aside.

"Except for the first three who still have some status, the rest are not worth mentioning. By the way, did Eve say what these people's attitudes are?"

"It's not clear yet, but the vast majority should still support it."

Under normal circumstances, others have no reason to stop it, let alone the right to stop it.

Everyone knows that this banquet is just an announcement to everyone, not for people to stand up and express their opinions.

But... this is a novel world after all, with weirdos everywhere, so it's expected that he would jump out and find something to do.

As they were talking, the carriage had entered the manor gate and stopped near the main building.

Phoenix Manor was particularly lively today, with carriages with family crests parked in the yard, and even a long row of followers and servants squeezed outside the door.

As soon as Rin arrived at the manor, the tall and thin butler, who was dressed neatly, came to greet him.

The previous butler had been imprisoned together, and the current butler was transferred by Qiyu. His full name was Sebastian. Rin didn't know what his specific rank was and what position he held in Qiyu.

Rin didn't mind Qiyu placing people in the Phoenix family at all. They were all family members, and there was no distinction between them in this matter.

What's more, a capable and loyal butler could share most of the things for him, the newcomer in power.

"Master Lin, all the guests are here now, waiting for you and Miss Xiye."

"Is anyone making trouble?"

Sebastian pulled the corner of his mouth: "No one dares to make trouble in Phoenix's house, but..."

The housekeeper leaned in and whispered a few words, Lin's eyes flashed, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.

"There really is a monkey, just in time to see it."

After that, Lin and Xiye strode into the mansion.

At this time, the living room had been cleaned up as a reception hall, with sofas and small round tables placed everywhere for guests to use.

When they saw Lin coming in, the people who were talking in groups of three or two all stood up and saluted Lin, except for the middle-aged man with a mustache who looked calm and composed.

Rin waved his hand and walked directly to the center, while Xiye came to his right and sat at the same table with him.

"It's a great honor to invite you all today. This is also the first core gathering of the Phoenix family this year. Please sit down first."

After everyone sat down, a maid prepared new tea and cakes for them, and placed two sets on the low table in front of Lin.

Lin said loudly: "As you all know, the family has just encountered a disaster. My father, the former Duke of Orlan, failed to rebel and was arrested and imprisoned by Her Majesty the Queen. Many core members of the family were also involved in the case."

When it came to this, everyone had different expressions. Some sighed, some were indignant, and some were panic-stricken.

"At this time, everyone is worried about the future of the Phoenix family. Here I will convey the Queen's promise to everyone. Her Majesty will not make a big fuss. As long as you are not directly involved in the rebellion, you will not be convicted, and your title or official position will not be affected."

Although the royal family does not seem to want to uproot the Phoenix family, before the royal edict was issued, these people were still a little worried about their titles.

Now that they heard Lin's affirmative answer, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The mustachioed marquis in the lead, named Hu Lan, was stroking his beard at this time, and asked doubtfully: "Rin, can you guarantee that the royal family will not settle accounts later? I'm worried that this is just to stabilize us."

Rin looked at his position and glanced at the young man sitting beside him.

The young man was probably in his early twenties, no more than twenty-four years old, with brown hair and a little mixed blood. He looked above average, and his eyebrows looked a bit like Orlan. At this moment, he was looking around curiously, with excitement in his eyes.

After meeting Rin's eyes, he quickly lowered his head, but Rin could still detect the strong jealousy he showed when he saw her.

Just by looking at his appearance, Rin knew what the other party was planning. In his heart, there was no extra evaluation except the two words "ridiculous" and "idiot".

Retracting his gaze, Lin continued: "Uncle Hu Lan, do you think His Majesty would risk offending the church and deceiving me?"

Hu Lan showed a relaxed smile: "Yes, I am too worried."

Lin ignored him and continued: "In addition, I will soon inherit the position of the head of the Si family. This time everyone is anxious to tell you about this. Do you have any questions about this?"

The atmosphere became tense again, and many people nodded repeatedly, and even thought of words to express their loyalty.

At this time, Hu Lan gave a color to a curly-haired earl sitting on the right.

The curly-haired earl stood up and asked politely: "Miss Xiye, you also have the right of inheritance. So, have you voluntarily given up?"

Xiye nodded and looked at Lin: "It is most appropriate for my younger brother to take the position. I have no objection to this."

The curly-haired earl sat down again: "Then we have no doubts. I think this is also the intention of Her Majesty the Queen."

The soft knife is coming!

Lin's expectation finally came true, and he picked up the cup and drank a sip of red tea.

"Yes, His Majesty also supports it, and he will give a direct order soon." Lin seemed to not understand his deep meaning and said deliberately.

Sure enough, when he said this, many people showed some displeasure on their faces.

Among them, Marquis Hu Lan was the most obvious. He coughed lightly and said: "Lin... You are still young, and you may not understand the relationship here. In the noble family, who inherits the title is normally decided by the family itself, and the royal family cannot intervene.

Originally, you are the legitimate heir, which is understandable, but the royal family's intervention will make you look like you are supported, and it will cause gossip if you tell others about it."

"Yes... This is the rule that has always been passed down. It is really not good for the royal family to suddenly do this."

Several collateral branches gathered together and whispered.

Rin suddenly laughed mockingly: "I told you, do you think too highly of yourself? In this situation, do you want to continue to live a peaceful life, or do you want to wait for the royal family to fall? Are you still thinking about bargaining and forgetting about the current situation of the entire family? "

As soon as these words came out, the faces of those who were dissatisfied immediately turned red, and they could only pretend to drink tea to hide their embarrassment.

For such an idiot who raised his tail as soon as he survived, Rin just asked Sebastian to keep a small notebook silently, and when he found an opportunity, he would propose that the family re-elect someone.

Of course, this is just an appetizer, an appetizer to set the tone of doubt. Next is when the monsters and monsters really come on stage.

As soon as Rin had such an idea, she heard Hu Lan say in a deep voice: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the royal family intervenes. Now, Rin, you have become the Holy Son of the Church. Originally, you were the best and only candidate to inherit the title... But It is precisely because of joining the church..."

Hu Lan's face showed a look of confusion and regret: "According to the rules of the church, after assuming the priesthood in the church, you can no longer hold official positions and titles in other countries. Is this true?"

"What?! Is there such a thing?"

Another short and fat earl blurted out in a shocked voice, and everyone else stared at Rin.

Rin cooperated with a look of astonishment: "The church didn't tell me."

Hu Lan smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's because you haven't been officially canonized yet, but this thing is true. If you don't believe it, you can ask."

At this time, the others couldn't sit still anymore and started talking with tangled expressions.

"It seems that we can only retreat from the position of the Holy Son for the time being." Hu Lan said regretfully.

"I will not give up my position as the Son of God."

Lin was decisive, cooperated with Hu Lan's words, and then continued to watch his performance with interest.

Seeing that he had fallen into the trap so quickly without any struggle, Hu Lan was immediately ecstatic.

He stood up and looked at the others: "In this case, we can't force Rin to give up the position of the Holy Son. At present, the position of Duke can only be inherited by others... Of course, it is just for the time being. We still have to use Rin as the position. The horse leads the way."

The pudgy Earl's eyes widened: "Does it mean...that it can only be done by Miss Xiye? It's also possible...one of them is the Holy Son and the other is the Sword Master. They can both lead the Phoenix family to glory again."

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiye again, and Xiye said lightly: "I will not inherit the title."

The pudgy earl suddenly became so anxious that his whole body was trembling with fat, and he wailed: "Miss Xiye, Master Lin cannot inherit because of his church position. The only one who can inherit now is you!"

The curly-haired Earl stood up again: "Yes, Miss Xiye, you are the only two heirs in Orland."

Hu Lan continued: "Actually... Orlan does have more than one child. I came here originally to bring this child to Orlan to recognize his ancestor, but I never expected to encounter such a thing..."

At this moment, there was silence in the hall, and everyone had strange and shocked expressions on their faces.

Anyone who knew anything about Orlan could not believe that such an unattractive guy could have an illegitimate child.

Then more thoughts were, is Marquis Hulan crazy? At this time, are you not afraid of offending Rin by promoting the illegitimate son to the throne, and being settled by Qiu Hou?

Even if people are really unwilling to give up the Holy Son for the position of Duke in the end, then it is impossible to let an illegitimate son of unknown origin take the throne? !

Chapter 42 Who is behind the pawn?

Of course Hu Lan is not crazy.

He is just a pig. If he sits in the position of Marquis for a long time, he will become... well, a smarter pig.
