Age of Mysticism Chapter 264

  Chapter 264 Luke's Small Abacus

  Alec hated Meteor, and was extremely curious about what happened in Raging City, and wanted to know how he managed to control the city in such a short time.

   It's just that Luke didn't come here to show off his "achievements" in Raging City, and it's inconvenient to disclose some details to Alec, so he didn't give the second prince any face.

"Your Highness, everything I did in Raging Waves City was carried out according to the order of the eldest princess. I don't know the reason why many of these things happened. I will do whatever Her Royal Highness asks me to do. When I wake up , this is the situation.

  I was just lucky, the result would be the same for anyone who went to Raging Waves City. "

   Luke defers everything to Agatha.

   But this kind of excuse can't fool Alec. The fundamental reason for the great changes in Raging Waves City is Meteor's creation and grasp of timing time and time again. Both creating opportunities and seizing opportunities are fleeting, and it is impossible for Meteor in Raging City to ask Agatha everything.

   And there are many indications that Meteor has done something beyond the tasks Agatha gave him. It was not something Agatha dared to do to completely control the city of Raging Waves and anger Augustine the Great.

   It was Meteor that pushed Agatha to take a step forward, so that Emperor Augustine had to regard Agatha as a contender for the crown prince, and had an option in his heart that he didn't want to choose.

  Very ambitious, courageous, and capable.

   And very young.

   This is the general evaluation of Meteor by the entire court. He will be brought under his command and cultivated, and he will definitely be his arm in the future.

  In order to get Meteor, Emperor Augustine planned to let Princess Dai marry him.

  In order to control Meteor, Agatha spared no effort to...

  In order to win over Meteor, the eldest prince sent his only son to condescend to go to the Sixth Office of the Secret Service to make friends with him.

  Alec wants to grab the talent that everyone is vying for.

For Luke's unrelenting rejection, Alec was very magnanimous. He laughed and said: "I know you are loyal to Agatha, and even the emperor appreciates your loyalty very much. You don't want to talk about the angry waves. I won't ask about the city.

  伱 and Sinclair came to me suddenly, is there anything special? "

  At this time Nightingale came down from upstairs.

  She was wearing a blue silk lining, and outside was a set of dark red leather armor flowing with magical energy. Her sky-blue hair was tied into a bun popular among wealthy women, her appearance was glamorous, and she had an aura of dust and dust that had seen all kinds of things in the world.

  The weapons are two short swords pinned to the waist on both sides, and several daggers are inserted in the leather sheaths on the back waist and the side of the calf.

   Ranger is a profession, which is mostly passed on from father to son in the form of family. The main job is to accept some tasks of exterminating monsters while traveling.

  The rangers in the past were the bottom of the society, and they had no skills and could only work hard. But as the world enters a new era, the rise of new aristocrats has bankrupted many old aristocrats and squires of the small peasant type. These small nobles and squires, as well as their vassals, flowed down to the lower classes, and many of them joined the ranks of rangers by virtue of their family's magic and martial arts skills.

  Nightingale is such a ranger. Her father was a well-known knight in a remote town, with ten households of serfs and a mill. Although the income is not much, it is decent, and he is a respected knight master.

   It was just that after the industrially produced flour rushed into this remote town, Nightingale's family went bankrupt without fighting back. Master Knight couldn't understand why the flour sold outside was cheaper than the wheat grown at home, and he died in depression.

  The family property and mill were sold to pay off debts, and a good family was torn apart.

  Nightingale can only pick up a sword and become a ranger in order to make a living. The self-esteem in her bones makes her never tell outsiders her real name.

  Powerful strength and beauty, Nightingale quickly became a well-known ranger. She came to the imperial capital to look for opportunities to make money, and then met Prince Alec.

  Nightingale walked behind Alec, and the eyes that had been staring at her since she came downstairs made her feel very uncomfortable. She pulled out a dagger from her back and threw it at Sinclair. The dagger made a sound of electric current, flew in a blue electric spark, and smashed the wine glass in Sinclair's hand with one blow. .

  Red wine was sprinkled all over Sinclair, and the dagger with lightning stopped in front of Sinclair's nose.

   Sinclair didn't make any movements during the whole process, he stayed there as if he was frightened.

  Nightingale flicked her hand, and an electric chain pulled the dagger back and flew back. She accurately grasped the dagger and inserted it into the leather sheath on her lower back.

   Clap clap!

Sinclair clapped his hands: "Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, and the dagger is beautiful. I really envy Uncle, and Governor Meteor... You are accompanied by capable beauties every day, and I see them all day in the north All men.

  Uncle, give me your beauty, I will exchange a manor for you! "

  Hearing that Sinclair compared herself to an object, Nightingale wanted to show him some color.

At this time Luke said: "Miss Nightingale, you didn't know that was His Royal Highness Sinclair just now, we can forgive your ignorance. Now that His Highness has revealed his relationship with His Highness the Second Prince, if she makes dangerous moves, the Empire's You have a place on the gallows."

  Nightingale stretched out her hand to her waist but failed to pull out the dagger in the end. She looked at Luke and couldn't figure out how he could call her by his name the first time they met.

   "Nightingale, Nightingale..." Sinclair savored the name with great interest, and then complained to Luke: "Governor, why did you stop Miss Nightingale, the electric current just now made me feel like I'm in love.

  I want to be shocked again!

  By the way, I will answer the uncle's question just now. We came to you to find Aunt Dai..."

   Sinclair's last words made the hall instantly cold.

  Alec's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost: "I have nothing to do with the case of attacking Dai'er, you came to me to find Dai'er, you are looking for the wrong place.

   Governor Meteor, I need an explanation. "

  Luke said with a smile: "Your Highness the Second Prince, don't be nervous, His Highness Sinclair is just kidding you, how could we come to you to find Princess Dai without evidence.

  This time I just want to learn more about Princess Dai from you so that I can rescue her earlier. Also... I am very interested in the collections in your manor, and I want to visit them for public and private purposes. You can send someone to follow me to introduce the exhibits. "

  Luke's explanation didn't ease Alec's expression in any way.

   Meteor reached a certain degree of reconciliation with the new noble forces headed by Chief Assistant Gabriel as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital. There are also signs that Meteor and Gabriel are behind the scenes that provoked the imperial civil war.

  Meteor and Sinclair came together today, and they sang and acted as if they were working together. Could it be that he and the eldest prince also reached some kind of tacit understanding?

  Meteor disclosed to the public the case concerning the face of the royal family, so it was necessary to solve the case and give everyone an explanation.

  If Agatha, Fania, and the cabinet want to use Meteor to hold this pot on my head...

   Just thinking of this made Alec shudder.

  These damned guys, when you see your father handing over the southern front to Fania, you will fall to him and want to jointly kick me out of the game!

"Okay, very good, very good!" Alec gritted his teeth and praised: "Agatha gave you this case, it is really wonderful. Passive to active, manipulating public opinion to attack and defend...Who did you go to?" , anyone will be shorter than you.

   But have you ever thought that if they push you to be the leader, you will die miserably in the end. "

  Luke said with a smile: "Your Highness, I can't understand what you said! Who pushed me to come forward? What is manipulating public opinion to attack and defend?

  You are Princess Dai'er's elder brother. I'm in charge of this case. Isn't it normal to ask you to know about Princess Dai'er's situation?

  What are you nervous about? "

  Compelled by the situation, Alec had to bow his head even though he was the second prince.

  If they want to investigate, they can investigate, and send someone to follow them closely to prevent them from being framed. Anyway, I didn't do it myself, so I'm not afraid of them investigating it openly.

   Covering up will give them an excuse to make a fuss.

Alec glanced at Sinclair who was sitting aside with a harmless face, and then said to Meteor: "You can ask, but there is a big age gap between Dai'er and I, and I don't know her very well. The collection here, you You can look at whatever you like, and I will give it to you if you like it.”

   What Luke was waiting for was the last sentence.

   Then Luke casually asked a few questions related to Dill's life. Although Alec felt uncomfortable, he still answered truthfully.

  When Luke said that there was no problem and wanted to visit the manor, Alec excused himself from feeling unwell and wanted to go back to his room to rest, and asked Nightingale to accompany the two of them on the tour.

  Luke and Sinclair walked around the manor grandly.

   Accompanying Nightingale noticed the clothes on Sinclair's body. The red wine that had just spilled didn't stick to his clothes, but was isolated by an invisible force field. After Sinclair stood up, all the remaining wine dripped on the ground.

  Nightingale said to Sinclair: "It seems that even if my dagger really stabs down, it shouldn't be able to hurt you."

  Sinclair still looked cynical: "I have fought in the northern border for several years, if I was injured by an attack of your level, I would have died several times.

  Why did you follow my uncle and still look very close? "

   "The Second Prince loves me."

"Don't look at the joke!" Sinclair laughed: "This uncle of mine likes the new and dislikes the old more than I do, and I won't tell women: I want to marry you, but my status prevents me from making decisions about my marriage. .”

  Nightingale said openly: "You know His Highness the Second Prince very well."

   "Of course I understand, we used to have a good relationship. The woman who made me a man was given to me. I miss that time very much, we are like brothers."

  Hearing these words, Nightingale was finally moved: "It really opened my eyes! It's amazing!"

   "Then leave him."

   "Leaving him with you? That just makes me sick."

   "It's really disgusting." Luke couldn't help but said: "Sinclair, don't show off your chaotic relationship with the royal family. Let's see what this is..."

  Sinclair raised the corners of his eyes provocatively at Nightingale, and then came to Luke's side.

  There is a square crystal in the glass display case with wooden frame. In the middle of the crystal is a colorful ball of light that beats like a heart. Every time the ball of light beats, the crystal splits into small cubes and completes a rotation like a Rubik's cube.

  Sinclair looked at the changing crystal Rubik's Cube and said: "The magic energy difference machine can be used for mathematics, magic energy structure, and alchemy reaction program calculations. It is a very good academic research auxiliary alchemy tool.

  Some advanced research institutes and large colleges have their own magic difference machines. Is there anything special about this? "

   "Nothing special..." Of course Luke knew the magic difference machine, he wanted to attract Nightingale's attention: "The magic difference machine is very difficult to make, even Oulu Academy doesn't have many magic difference machines.

  The last time I saw Miss Qingkong, she complained to me that her branch does not have a magic energy difference machine, and many simulations and calculations of experiments need to send data back to this hospital. Not only is it very cumbersome to go back and forth, but it is also prone to errors.

  But according to the current scale of the branch, Dean Willred has never had the idea of ​​dividing a set of magic difference machines, which caused Miss Weathering a headache.

  Seeing this mana difference machine reminds me of Miss Weatherlight. She has helped me and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess a lot in Raging Waves City, and I want to buy a set of Mana Difference Machine as a gift for her.

   But you know... this stuff doesn't come with money. "

How could Sinclair fail to hear Luke's subtext, he said very cooperatively: "Uncle put such a good mana difference machine on display here, it is a bit too wasteful. If you can give it to Miss Weather Sky, you will definitely get it." The favor of Miss Sunny Sky."

   "I think so too..."

  Luke didn't stop by the mana difference machine, but walked to the next exhibit.

  Nightingale immediately summoned an attendant to follow, and after whispering something, the attendant hurried away.
