I really can't control myself.

Chapter 122 Enemies

The old man's name is Des, and he is indeed Klose's housekeeper. Of course, the other party has seen Linton, otherwise how could he be recognized directly, but Linton doesn't remember him at all.

The time when Linton came back was not very good. It was already around four o'clock in the middle of the night, so everyone in the Marquis Mansion was asleep.Because Des was older, he got up early, and then he was more industrious. He got up at four o'clock every day and started preparing breakfast. As a result, he saw Linton standing in the corridor as soon as he got up.

Linton's return is naturally considered a major event. After all, Linton's limelight is very popular now. Originally, Des was going to wake everyone up and tell them the news of Linton's return, but looking at the sky It was about to light up, but Linton didn't let it go, so he first pulled Des to ask what happened recently.

Des quickly briefed Linton on the situation.At this time, 11 days have passed since Linton left. Linton shined in the martial arts field before, causing everyone to come to him for a while to show his friendship.However, Klose quickly announced the news that Linton had temporarily left the city, which disappointed most of the people who came.

After three or four days like this, finally fewer people came.The people who came also shifted their focus to the Merovie family. Linton's nephew, Gassin, and his cousin, both became the targets of wooing.Gassen didn't tire of it, but his nephew and cousin enjoyed it very much, just as Linton expected.

As for other things, Des is not very clear.During this period, Klose was summoned by the emperor several times, but he, the housekeeper, could not know what they were talking about, and Gassin was also summoned by the emperor. Apart from officially conferring him the title of baron, it seemed that he also had a little They had a private chat, but Des didn't know what they talked about.

As they talked, the sky became a little brighter. At this time, the people below also came to inform Des, saying that Master Klose woke up and was going to have breakfast.After all, Klose is an old man. He wakes up early when he is old, and he is also used to the habit of eating breakfast early. It turned out that Des didn't take the initiative to call him today, which is also very strange.

Naders directly told Klose the news of Linton's return, and soon Gassien was also called, and the two soon came to the living room.

"You kid, you still know how to come back." Before anyone arrived, Klose's voice had already passed, "Do you know that I'm going to be bored to death these days?"

"I know, otherwise why would I hide." Linton said.

"Anyway, it's good if you come back. The magic you mentioned, such as the knot seal, doesn't work at all. I've tried for so many days and still can't release the magic you mentioned. Show me what's going on." Ke Loser said.

"Can't it work?" Linton didn't know if it would work. After all, it was just an experiment. So it seems that using magic power instead of chakra to release magic can't it?It's true that he can do it, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can do it. He is prepared for this, "Try other methods later."

"After what, get it for me now." Klose said.

"No, I haven't been back for several days, and I still have some things to deal with." Linton said, "I heard that the emperor has seen you. What's the situation?"

"Hmm..." When it came to this matter, Klose became serious. This is indeed an important matter, "A big event happened in the past few days after you left."

"What's the big deal?" Linton asked.

"The largest lord in the north, the Duke of Minotir, declared independence from the Holy Empire of Elan, and seems to have received the support of the Yetis Empire. The current situation of the empire is a bit tense," Klose said.

"Oh... what does this have to do with me?" Linton asked. It was obvious that the Duke in the north was in trouble, and the empire must have a headache, but Linton was very surprised, what did this have to do with him.

Klose looked at Gasaine next to him, who said, "When His Majesty summoned me, he said that the person who assassinated our family was probably sent by the Duke of Minotir."

"What?" Linton was taken aback, "This is from the Duke of Minotir? What kind of enmity does he have with our family?"

"I don't know very well." Gassen said, "At present, His Majesty has not found out why he would attack our family. After all, our family is just a small family in the south of the empire. According to the current speculation, it may be that he is just preparing to rebel. It was a means to disrupt the south before."

"So you believed it?" Linton said, "Could it be to find a scapegoat? You see, we just happened to find a murderer, and then someone rebelled, so His Majesty let him be the murderer by the way, and give us an explanation." At the same time, it also allows me to keep an eye on him, after all, I am a hanged person, and it is not a good thing to be watched by me."

"This...Your Majesty probably wouldn't do this." Gasine thought for a while and said.

"Huh?" Linton looked at Gasine in surprise. He didn't expect that this nephew actually believed in His Majesty. From his words, he could feel that he still had some trust in the emperor. He had never seen the emperor before. , Now it's just a meeting, but it actually shows part of the emperor's trust, this emperor is a bit level.

"I don't think it's certain, but it might be true." Klose said next to him, "Although I don't know why, the timing of Duke Minotir's rebellion is really strange. Not long after the trial by combat, he Suddenly rebelled, and there was no special sign. And His Majesty told me that before that, His Majesty had asked Duke Minotir to go to the imperial capital, because he found some information that he might be involved in this matter, and wanted to invite him To explain the situation, he directly released the news of the rebellion."

"In other words, he had a guilty conscience and was afraid of being retaliated by me, so he directly rebelled?" Linton asked.

"After all, he didn't know there was a saint-level person in the little Merovie family before, and now he knew he was in big trouble, so he directly chose to do it." Klose said, "I think it makes perfect sense. .”

"All that makes sense?" Linton asked.

"He has the support of the Yetis Empire, maybe in addition to military support, there is also personal security support." Klose said, "After all, he is facing a holy level. If you want to protect yourself, We can only seek help from the state. If he is the mastermind behind the assassination of your family, His Majesty the Emperor certainly cannot protect him, so he will seek protection from other empires."

Linton understood what Klose meant. The holy level should be a weapon of the national strategic level. Then he has proved that he has the level of the holy level. If the other party is really a murderer, the only way to escape his own responsibility is, One is to prove to the emperor that he is innocent, but with his own strength, the emperor probably intends to win him over, so he will not favor him.So he probably chose the second path, which is to find another national level force to protect him.

Looking at it this way, the Duke of Minotir may really be behind the scenes, but I don't know why this guy is targeting the Merovie family.

"So, there's going to be a war?" Linton asked.

"Yes, this battle is also inevitable." Klose said, "If the Duke rebelled, it doesn't matter, the other nobles in the collar will rebel if they just say it."

"Hmm..." Linton could understand, but he looked at Gasaine next to him, and said suddenly, "If I guess correctly, you want to participate in this war as well?"

"Not only to participate, he has just been awarded a military rank and is now a general." Klose said.

"This matter is very likely to be related to our family. I want to ask Duke Minotir personally. I want to know whether he is the murderer who killed our family." Gasaine said.

Linton was a little speechless, the emperor really used a conspiracy.Gasain, as the imperial nobleman, is of course obliged to lead troops to the expedition, and it is normal to be named a general.And he sent Gason there, not for his own attention.Of course, just use it. Linton's headache is that this little nephew really feels a little brainwashed by the emperor, with an excited look on his face.

Thinking of this, Linton suddenly wanted to remind the little nephew of the fear of being dominated by his uncle.So Linton also smiled slightly: "I said, little nephew, do you know what I have learned from my master these days?"

"Uh...what Weiming swordsmanship?" Gasen didn't know why Linton asked this suddenly, but he still tried to answer.

"No, no, that's out of date." Linton said, "I recently learned a new stunt, so I'm invincible again!"

"Uh... okay, okay." Gassen raised his forehead.

"This special skill is called Xinwei Celebrity Biochemical Transformation Surgery." Linton continued, "It should be noted that this technique is not an ordinary technique. It not only makes me invincible, but if I If other people use it, it can make a person countless times stronger in an instant, this is simply a magical skill, right."

"Skills that make others stronger?" Klose next to him was taken aback.

"That's right, it's the kind of magical skill that helps people get through the eight meridians." Linton said.

"What are the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?" Both of them were stunned.

"It's not important. In short, this skill can make you very strong." Linton said, "You see, you are about to go to the battlefield. If something goes wrong, uncle, I am not a white-haired person. A black-haired person..."

"You're younger than me..." Gassen couldn't help but say.

"I've said it's not important. Anyway, this skill is so good. Do you... want a power-up package?" Linton said.
