Chapter 517 (1/2)
When the dark haired wizard came out of the parliament hall, he found that it was evening.
The nobles and councillors who came out of the hall one after another looked at the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon with surprised or surprised eyes. Incredible colors were painted on almost every face.
The eyes of the people of the chann family and the Holy Cross Church are also full of anger. The anger in the pupils seems to have pierced the black haired wizard's back and pierced his heart with thousands of arrows.
Admiration, resentment, surprise, disdain... The endless stream of people, accompanied by the same pair of eyes with different looks; Lauren's expression was indifferent, but he didn't see a half reaction and didn't care.
The glittering and translucent water drops fell from the dome dyed red by the sunset, which made the black haired wizard instinctively raise his head.
It's raining
Within a quarter of an hour, the intermittent rain had fallen from the sky and landed above the towering and isolated sky palace.
In the dripping rain, the black haired wizard raised his mouth and walked away tired; Whether awe or resentment, the surrounding crowd subconsciously made way for him.
The thin figure is incomparably lonely between the rain and the empty palace.
Step by step forward, the expressionless Lauren walked straight under his feet.
Crowds, palaces, corridors, rain... Until the end of the road, the same figure standing in the rain appeared at the end of his sight.
The black haired wizard's smile began to become interesting.
Seemingly gorgeous but long washed white dress, thin and small body, messy red hair, a pair of heavy and old black frame glasses... Loren couldn't help but pick his eyebrows.
”Why?” although he already knew the answer, the black haired wizard couldn't help asking.
”Not everything has a reason, Lord Loren.” after the rain wetted the frame, Lina desallion's eyes were calm and calm: ”I just fulfilled our agreement. Is it worth so surprised?”
”Of course it's worth it.”
The two figures standing in the rain, surrounded only by the empty palace and the rain falling from the sky, with red and dark pupils, looked at each other meaningfully.
”From the moment I met Isaac Grantham, it was a trap you set... To make me trust you wholeheartedly - Casino, big gamble, assassination, tavern, debt... All the same.”
The dark haired wizard sighed, ”I didn't doubt you for a moment until I got the news of Lusaka's death... Miss Lina, your plan is very successful.”
”But... Still failed.” the girl said faintly, ”can you tell me how you found it?”
”A friend's words woke me up - if you want to be trusted by others, you must first trust others wholeheartedly... Conversely, if you want to betray someone, you must first trust each other.” Loren looked at her with meaningful eyes:
”So, really... It's fake.”
A moment later, a smile of self mockery appeared on the girl's face.
”Miss Lina de sallion, you are a subsidiary of the royal family. In other words, you must know and contact more than outsiders like us... For you, the so-called debts, titles and fiefdoms that will trouble ordinary people will never be trouble.”
”There's no reason. Just because your name is desalion... The roar of the dragon is still hovering over the Empire for a day, you never have to worry about this.”
”What can really attract you and make you willing to take risks to do such things?”
”When you think about it clearly, you can find that it's actually very simple... Freedom.” when it comes to this, even Loren himself chuckled:
”For the freedom not to be forced to marry;”
”In order to be free to choose your own life;”
”In order to pursue the truth of the world like every wizard without fear of being accused by the church;”
”In order to be a real de sallion, rather than the freedom to be manipulated by a group of nobles and rich businessmen;”
”For these... You are willing to gamble.” the black haired wizard looked at her calmly and stepped forward step by step:
”Become the crown prince of the Empire, a chess piece in the hands of Conrad de saleon... I'm sorry to be so straightforward, because I really can't imagine a second person who can balance so many forces at the same time except him.”
The dark looking black framed glasses didn't open their mouth, but still just raised the corners of their mouth in self mockery:
