After a while, Alice and a thirty-year-old magician walked onto the balcony one after another. Alice first said with a smile: "Why are you here today?"
"not welcome?"
"Who dares not to welcome you?" Alice smiled and changed the subject: "An Fei, let me introduce to you. This is Master Doge Mingzhe's most proud student, Bensent, an intermediate magician." Afterwards, Alice turned around again: "This is the director of the Major League Mercenary Group, An, who you are very interested in."
"Sir An Fei, it's an honor for me to meet you." Bensent bent down.
"Hello." An Fei smiled and said, "You are too polite."
"You young people have young people's topics, so I won't stop you." Beeri patted An Fei on the shoulder again: "An Fei, what I just said... don't forget, use your brain more. .”
"I know." An Fei responded obediently. In fact, he didn't take it seriously at all. He was too sharp and it would not be a good thing if it continued like this. Moreover, there were countless capable people in Beeri's army, and Thor Sitting with Stig, there is no need for him to provide suggestions. Of course it is a good thing if it succeeds. What if it fails like last time? What's more, An Fei has already accomplished enough, so there is no need to take risks.
Alice looked at Bailey's back. She was very curious, but there was Bensent behind her. She couldn't ask questions now, and An Fei wouldn't answer if she asked. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "An Fei, Benson Te and one of your regiment leaders are still good friends."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Master An Fei, I used to be from the Iron-Blooded Rose Mercenary Group. I have been a mercenary since I was twenty years old. I didn't return to China until two years ago." Bensent said with a smile.
"Do you know Simpera?"
"Of course I do." Bensent nodded. Then he sighed: "I heard Alice talk about Manlin and Xinpera. It's really touching! In fact, it turns out that Xinpera and I are not familiar with each other. It was Manlin who invited me to join the Iron-Blooded Rose Mercenary Group. Yes, but after getting along for a long time. I found that Manlin is not very good. On the surface, he is warm and cheerful to others. In fact, he is a person who is eager for quick success and has a strong desire for power, and he wants to control everything in his hands. Here. Ximpera is exactly the opposite of Manlin. Although Ximpera looks very cold on the outside, that is because she must do this after taking over the power from her father, otherwise she will not be able to control her mercenaries. In fact, she is very cold. Kind, even kind to the point of stupidity, and unsuspectingly handed over all power to Manlin. When I left, I wanted to remind her, but... Ximpera trusted Manlin without reservation, and it was in vain that I said so. , thought about it, and finally told her to think more about things and not to make decisions easily, what a pity. In the end... if it got to that point, Ximpera must not have understood what I meant."
"Pathetic woman..." Alice also sighed.
"Alice, what's wrong with you?" Susanna asked in surprise, Alice's face was full of sadness and helplessness. It looked like she was the one who was deceived.
The topic was opened, and Bensent was very talkative and had his own unique insights. Several people talked about the various interesting stories about the mercenaries, the current situation, and finally the past of Dog Mingzhe.
Doge Mingzhe looked up to the balcony from time to time and saw several young people chatting happily. He smiled happily. No matter An Fei keeps a high profile or a low profile. No one can shake his position, and Alice has embarked on a path of independence. The administrative governors of the eight provinces are actually kings without crowns! Chris Ding participated in a war that would determine the structure of the continent. He came from behind and surpassed West and Glendon to become the prince most likely to get the right to inherit. And An Fei is not only the president of the Grand Alliance, but also the backbone of these young people and an indispensable link. An Fei is in the mercenary country, Chris Ding is in the Holy City, and Alice is in charge of the eight provinces of Shansha. As long as there are With An Fei here, they can unite and echo each other. Even if there is an accident and Chris Ding does not seize the inheritance rights, they still have the power to protect themselves and can even divide the territory!
And this possibility is Chris Ding's biggest trump card. Even Julande dare not ignore it. For future considerations, if you want to choose another heir, you must get rid of An Fei and Alice in advance. If you can't do that, then You can only choose Chris Ding! The two can influence each other.
In order to unify the continent, stabilize the situation and stabilize people's hearts, Yolande could only reuse Alice. After the situation was completely stabilized and Alice had accumulated a very high reputation, she still could not move. And An Fei is even more worrying. He has the inheritance of a saint. He is Thor's most admired student. There is no reason to touch An Fei and Alice, which also determines Chris Ding's future! Sometimes, in the face of the general trend, conspiracy is useless!
The authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Saul is always worried about the future, but Doge Mingzhe disagrees. He knows that with An Fei's behavior, the things that worry Saul will never happen. To put it bluntly, Niya and Glendon Nothing is possible in between. What's more, Niya and Grandon are thousands of miles apart now, and Saul will not interfere with Niya's decision, so An Fei only needs to destroy Grandon's image in Niya's heart. This is very simple. After Niya arrived, An Fei did nothing. It was just because he was afraid of Sol's disgust, or because he didn't have a suitable opportunity.
Therefore, for his students, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with An Fei. The older generation will gradually withdraw from the stage, including Doge Mingzhe himself. The future will be the world of young people! And no matter whether others are cursing An Fei, Yan or praising An Fei, Doge Mingzhe, who is watching with cold eyes, knows very well that An Fei is indeed ruthless, but there is a prerequisite. He will not attack friends and neutral people. Friends are to be protected. Neutral people must be fought for. Only when An Fei thinks that a certain person or certain people will become his enemies will he reveal his ferocious side. Sol also knows An Fei's behavior, but still admires him. This is one of the important reasons.
Facts have proved that his guess was not wrong. At the beginning, Vincent had a sense of laughter. After all, he didn't know An Fei, but Vincent soon became natural because An Fei showed enough enthusiasm. He believed it was off to a good start. As long as students like Vincent can carefully cultivate their friendship, there will be a good future.
Vincent is talkative. Alice was better at adding to the atmosphere, and several people were chatting happily. When the beautiful sound of the harp came, Vincent said he was going to accompany the teacher and left first, but Alice did not leave and was still leaning on the railing.
"Is it reliable?" An Fei asked softly.
"Vincent is a very nice person, so I just brought him up." Alice replied with a smile.
"In other words, you can't guarantee that others are as reliable as Vincent?" An Fei heard Alice's overtone.
"You also know. My identity restricts my freedom, so I don't have much contact with them. I am only familiar with Vincent."
"Alice, you just said that Master Doge Mingzhe had a great influence on you when you were growing up. Is it true or false?" An Fei asked curiously.
"of course it's true!"
"Why have you never talked about Master Doge Mingzhe before?"
"At that time, I had decided to forget everything in the past." Alice looked a little sad: "What's the use of talking about that? What's more... with your character. I always put the teacher's name on my lips, you must Do you think I’m threatening you?”
"Haha...how could that happen?" An Fei said haha. In fact, he knew in his heart that Alice was right.
"When I was very young, I thought that the royal bloodline was the noblest. We have infinite wisdom and power, so we are natural rulers. But the common people are stupid, lazy, greedy, and irritable. They have too many Too many shortcomings, and without our strict management, they would turn the whole world into hell!"
"Is this how the people around you taught you when you were a child?" An Fei asked in surprise.
"Yes." Alice smiled: "It wasn't until I met the teacher that I understood a lot of things. It turns out that people are all the same, but some people are lucky. They are born into noble families, and luck can be changed artificially. , some nobles have fallen into ruin, and some civilians have won recognition from the empire through their own efforts. For example, the teacher used to be a civilian."
"I used to be a civilian too." An Fei smiled.
"You have much better luck than the teacher. The teacher relied entirely on his own efforts to become a great magician."
"Hey, what you said doesn't sound right! Didn't I come up through my own efforts?" "Is that true?" Alice asked in a terse tone.
"This..." An Fei was stunned. He had no confidence at that time. Apart from anything else, the Heart of Nature played a vital role in helping him break through the bottleneck. If he had not met Thor, he would probably not even have the Heart of Nature now. I don’t know what it looks like, let alone fusion.
"At that time, the teacher also gave me all my aunt's belongings and asked me to study. Later..."
"Your aunt? Princess Victoria?"
"Yes." Alice nodded: "It includes my aunt's diary and some experiences. Unfortunately, Se Jialan is not interested in these, and they all ended up in my hands."
"How come Master Doge Mingzhe has Princess Victoria's relics?"
"I don't know about this. It is said that... before my aunt got married, the teacher was one of her suitors. It's a pity..."
"It's a pity that there is a huge difference in status, isn't it?" An Fei smiled, and then his expression suddenly changed.
"No, it's the age difference. At that time, the teacher was already a great magician. When the teacher was young... An Fei, what's wrong with you?" Alice noticed An Fei's look.
"Doge Mingzhe pursued Princess Victoria, and Princess Victoria finally died in the hands of Marshal Beeri. What do you think happened to me?" An Fei said slowly.
"You... just like to make random guesses based on your own cleverness!" Alice showed a helpless look and reached out to touch An Fei's forehead. She reached halfway and realized that this action was too intimate, so she hurriedly retracted. Tsukuru tangled his hair naturally: "An Fei, they are all involved. Even you, an uninformed person, have reacted. Do you think they did nothing?"
"them…"
"Actually, things are not as simple as we thought. Some people wanted my aunt to die, and some people were happy to take advantage. The two parties cooperated to set a trap for my aunt. Strictly speaking, the real murderer was not Marshal Beeri, but that The man who betrayed my aunt.”
"You mean that someone in the Shansha Empire wanted your aunt to die?"
"Of course." Alice said softly: "A negotiation agreement did not need to be signed by the prison princess in person, but she went in the end. Is this normal? The night before Beieri's operation, the secret lurking in the Flash Sand Empire The spy had already judged that Beeri was going to be harmful to my aunt. He sneaked out of the military camp, rushed to the nearest contact point, and passed the information back. As a result, my aunt was still unprepared. Is this normal? Although it was agreed at the time that no troops could participate. Negotiation, but there were two gryphon knights disguised as servants accompanying my aunt. The gryphons were flying high in the sky. As long as they sensed something was wrong and gave a signal, the gryphons would immediately rush down to respond. Even if they couldn't defeat them, at least they could. He took my aunt to escape, but in the end my aunt still fell to the enemy...Is this normal?"
An Fei smiled bitterly. He was really too late to worry about Beeri. As a person involved, Beeri was much more careful than him. Of course Beeri had his own reasons for trusting Doge Mingzhe. : "One day... I'll ask Marshal Beeri in person what's going on!"
"Is it necessary?" Alice smiled and said: "Our previous generation always liked to hide the truth, but in fact we are creating mysteries! For example, how did you and I become friends? For example, the Dragon Man Kremlin Whereabouts? When one day, a junior talks to you about this in person, will you be interested in explaining the truth clearly? "
"No interest, the past is in the past after all."
"Yes, the past is in the past, why bother embarrassing Marshal Beeri." Alice said softly: "Only shallow people will brag about the past. If they have experienced too much, On the contrary, I lost interest."
"We're not old yet, don't you sound too old and arrogant?" An Fei said with a smile.
"It was very fast. When I think back to my childhood, it seems like it happened in the blink of an eye, and then in the blink of an eye..."
"Stop! Stop!" An Fei said seriously: "You go and greet your guests, and I'll go find my food, okay?"
