On the Seven Towers

The Master's Reading Club concluded another event.

The curve algorithm Luo Ling just introduced to you is very helpful for accurate magic configuration. The mages below discussed it very enthusiastically.

Today, the number of participants in the book club has been several times that of before. Since China Tower obtained the fiefdom, it has defeated its opponents one after another in competitions, and even defeated a great magician. The reading club hosted by the Master of China Tower is also becoming more and more attractive. Moreover, after Luo Ling came here, she gave full play to her expertise as an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics and taught everyone many things that Xiao Chen and Li Jia couldn't understand in a simple and easy-to-understand way. In addition, she has a beautiful image and unique temperament, which made her very popular among the member mages. . Now, she has replaced Tasia as the goddess in the hearts of many male mages.

Seeing that everyone's discussion was not over yet, Luo Ling clapped her hands and said, "Everyone's discussion can continue during dinner later, but I have something to announce here."

The originally noisy venue quickly became quiet. The nearly thirty or so mages who attended today's meeting immediately sat down like students and listened carefully to Luo Ling's words: "As you know, our China Tower's territory is in Montenegro. The reading club is preparing to hold our first outing. , invite member mages to visit Montenegro. In Montenegro, we will arrange exchanges with local mages. Some of our mages have higher theoretical levels than me, and you will not be disappointed."

Master Feng Qi was the first to respond: "Your Excellency Luo Ling, I am willing to participate. Your fiefdom has just been obtained. If there is anything we need to do when we get there, please feel free to ask us."

"Yes." Another middle-aged mage also said, "We all know how many opportunities and benefits reading will give us. Who among you here has not obtained new cultivation methods and learning methods here? Just all kinds of interesting There are several new spells, right? If there is an opportunity to repay Master Luo Ling, that would be the best. Otherwise, wouldn’t we just be taking advantage?”

These words were so sensible that all the mages nodded.

"However, I won't go this time. I still have business in the royal capital. The three mages Li Jia, Xiao Mu and Tang Feng will send you all to Montenegro safely."

After dinner, Li Jia stood next to Luo Ling and sent everyone away. He asked: "This time, let us take the mage to leave the capital, and let many people from the business team, intelligence team and escort team also evacuate. Is it because the king is dying?"

Luo Ling walked back to the study and said: "Well, the recent situation in the royal capital is a bit strange. On the one hand, there have been rumors that the king's health is failing. On the other hand, he has not yet had an answer on the issue of the heir. Continue. There is a high possibility of chaos here. Our foundation is in Montenegro, so there is no need to go through this troubled waters, so it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to invite mages to Montenegro."

Li Jia whispered: "But I heard that Liu Pengfei has been very close to the princess these days, and he seems to be getting deeper and deeper."

The two returned to the study, Luo Ling closed the door and said, "Be specific."

"Selinda has heard a few rumors. You know, she is not very keen on going out in social situations, but as a noble, she is more informed than us. One is that the princess often participates in various activities among nobles with Liu Pengfei. .

"I understand that these gatherings are simply used by the princess's followers to win over noble officials, exchange information, and achieve cooperation."

"The second is that a very knowledgeable strategist appeared in the princess's inner circle and gave her a lot of suggestions. The most core one is the saying that 'the crown is composed of a sword and a staff.'"

Luo Ling smiled, "Isn't this the magical world version of political power emerging from the barrel of a gun? This person is Liu Pengfei, and he can't run away."

"The last one is that Liu Pengfei and the princess are getting along. That's how they get along."

Luo Ling paced back and forth in front of her desk, "At that time, we tacitly allowed Liu Pengfei to maintain contact with the forces on the princess's side in order to maintain a balance. I didn't expect that in just a few days, he would take advantage of her. This is We were careless. It seems we really need to pay close attention to what his plans are."

"Don't you ask him directly?"

"Do you think he will tell the truth? There are many things that are best seen with your own eyes."

"Then you plan to go and have a look? I heard that it's very popular for ladies to hold salons recently. This kind of activity seems to be deeply loved by Liu Pengfei, and he almost doesn't miss it every time."

The China Tower office receives many invitations to banquets, dances, hunting, salons, and magical academic activities every day. Luo Ling usually participates selectively, and mainly attends academic conferences.

But this time she wanted to observe Liu Pengfei's actions, so she flipped through a stack of invitations for a long time and selected the salon held by the royal socialite Marquise Grosso at the Marquis's residence tonight.

———————————————

That night, a carriage drove Luo Ling and Xiao Mu to the house of Marquise Grosso.

Xiao Mu now became Luo Ling's special secretary. For some unknown reason, Luo Ling tied her to her and sent her around. However, even if Xiao Mu sometimes dared not to buy Xiao Chen's account, he also did not dare to disobey Luo Ling. She naturally felt that if she went against this woman, she would end up in a very bad way.

"It is said that this salon itself is a trick created by Liu Pengfei." Xiao Mu said.

"Yes, you also know a lot about the history of the Earth. This is not the Europe that experienced the Renaissance in the 17th and 18th centuries. This is still the style of the early Middle Ages. Haven't you heard the king's words "swords are bones, armor is flesh"? Hunting, polo, and even slave fighting are the most popular activities."

Luo Ling and Xiao Mu did not dress like a wizard, but each wore a low-key aristocratic dress. Since they were here for a secret visit, of course they had to be low-key.

The Marquise welcomed them at the door of the living room. She was in her forties, not very beautiful but with a certain temperament. She was very surprised when she saw Luo Ling: "Mr. Luo Ling, it's so rare that you can come to my salon today. It really makes this place glorious. You will definitely be the protagonist here today."

"Marquise, I just came out to relax after studying magic. Please don't alarm everyone. You know, the identity of a high-level wizard sometimes makes us look too aggressive. I heard that your salon has extraordinary taste, I just want to feel this atmosphere."

"It seems that you just want to listen and see? Of course, no problem, I will arrange the best seat for you. Today, a famous northern bard is here to perform, and Master Liu Pengfei of Guita has also brought his works to share with everyone. You will definitely feel that the trip is worthwhile."
