As a senior federal spy, Stanley still subconsciously underestimated Su Mu.
When he thought that Su Mu was here just to make a random inspection, he found that Su Mu had already attracted most of the alchemists with just three eyes and a few words.
And just as Stanley was feeling awe at this and was about to question why Su Mu wanted to go further, he discovered that Su Mu was tempting himself to show his feet.
Even when Stanley's identity was completely exposed after all, Su Mu did not criticize Stanley himself too much, but directly used Stanley as a medium to say what he wanted to say to the federal government.
So when Su Mu took Su Tong and left the alchemy workshop again.
Stanley, who was still standing still, was the back of his heart watching the two leave more and more shocked.
A certain indescribable emotion is also rampantly spreading in Stanley's heart.
It wasn't until the two figures of Su Mu and the others had completely disappeared from the corner of the street that the workshop could see. Stanley was shocked from his previous emotions and immediately walked to the alchemy communicator for his own use in the workshop.
Then the pieces of news that must be reported immediately, just as Su Mu had expected at the beginning, could only be truthfully passed back by Stanley... In front of the spy leader Adrian!
…
The response speed of the federal government was faster than Su Mu had imagined.
When Su Mu and Su Tong were quietly returning to the mansion, they had just settled in Su Tong's bedroom from the window, and some servants had already clicked the bedroom door gently.
Then there was a notice that had to be sent, and it sounded so naturally:
"His Royal Highness, Adrian, the speaker's personal butler, is here!"
Su Mu and Su Mu who heard this, now naturally stared at each other with a wink.
Then they quickly arranged their appearances, and then calmly pretended to have always been in the mansion, and calmly went to the reception room where Adrian was received.
Speaking of it, even now, Su Mu actually only met Adrian three times.
But even after these few encounters for three times, the impression Adrian left in Su Mu's mind is more and more worthy of attention and fear.
When we first met, Adrian was the teacher of the consul Wen Liang.
Moreover, he cleverly used a simple backward suggestion to successfully induce Su Mu to show his ambition, and then he was completely controlled by the Federal Speaker.
When we met for the second time, Adrian was a thorough butler.
Regarding the sharp counterattack raised by Su Mu and Lu Xi, he didn't seem to make any degree of interference, just silently watching the mystery will be established.
As for the third meeting before him, Adrian's identity has once again become the leader of the federal spy.
Surprisingly, it is... the extremely huge federal shadow that secretly monitors everyone.
"So, Lord Adrian, is there an answer to my question?"
After arriving in the reception room, Su Mu did not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Instead, he was extremely calm, and directly raised the question raised by Stanley in front of Adrian again.
However, at this moment, Adrian did not immediately give an answer after hearing this.
Instead, he looked at Su Mu, who was already beginning to flourish, with an extremely satisfying look in his eyes.
Then he said in a gentle tone, speaking not so gentle words:
"A person's abilities must match his ambition. Otherwise, all his abilities can only be tools in the hands of others. So now you... are you ready to become a tool master?"
…
Su Mu did not answer Adrian's question.
Only gently and firmly, he slowly held Su Tong's hand in his palm.
Su Mu's move is undoubtedly showing with facts that he must give the imperial princess a firm shelter, so that she will never need to return to the quagmire in the empire.
After seeing this, Adrian was weirdly revealing a little regret at this time. Although he supported Su Mu's choice, he still had other ideas after all.
However, Adrian's subtle emotions have not even been truly noticed by others.
At the next moment, Adrian had already turned to say:
"As you are worried, the princes and princes of the Longtuo Empire, in order to return to the country as soon as possible, when one of the parties reaches the marriageable age, they will immediately hold the wedding and return with this. Such precedents have not existed since ancient times. Not uncommon."
"And since the matter between you and the princess has already caused the whole continent to pay special attention. Once you have passed the adulthood, the empire will urge you to get married as soon as possible, which is also a reasonable behavior."
"In other words, if your ultimate goal is indeed to reach the top of the Federation and become the'perfect Archon' in the plan. Then how to keep Her Royal Highness in the Federation for a long time is a problem that you must solve now. "
Adrian said this, but he paused deliberately.
Did not say directly about the federal official plan.
On the contrary, it was extremely abrupt, speaking of a metaphor that seemed to have nothing to do with it:
"As an alchemist, you should also know that technique. For many relatively ancient alchemy tools, when it is difficult to disassemble the clever structure for inspection, you actually need to tighten the clever joints first, and then Only then can it be turned on in the reverse direction."
"And many things in this world... Actually, they need such a way to solve them!"
…
"You mean, let Su Tong temporarily return to the empire?"
Su Mu undoubtedly understood Adrian's analogy in the first place.
However, compared to Su Mu's thoughts at this time, it is obvious that Adrian's plan is more radical:
"It's not that the princess needs to return temporarily, but you and the princess, you will all take the initiative to go to the capital of the Longtuo Empire after your coming-of-age ceremony."
"The reason why the empire hopes that the princess will return is undoubtedly to use your influence in the federation, so that the princess will use you as a strong foreign aid and be involved in the empire's contending for grandfather again."
"But as long as you are completely contrary to this, show a posture that you will never separate even if you return to your country, and even give up the good situation in the Federation completely. There will be no such aura called the'Federal New Aristocrat'. , With your strength alone, it will be difficult for you to intervene in the dispute over the conquest."
Adrian said that after this, he gently took out an exquisite official invitation letter.
Then, while placing the invitation letter in several cases, he also added:
"And most importantly, if only the two of you go back alone, the empire may also imprison you two in a rage, so that you will never return to the Federation."
"But it also happens to be at the end of this year. The three-year-old exchange meeting of the three academies will happen to be held in the Qinghua Knight Academy in the Longtuo Empire."
"Therefore, you and your Royal Highness, you don't need to go to the empire alone. Instead, you can go to see the monarch of the Longtuo Empire in the name of academy exchanges... Together with the exchange team of the Northern Magic Academy, it is safe. To and from Longtuo Empire."
"As long as the two of you are always in the academy's exchange missions, no matter how angry the empire is, you will never be able to restrict an academic exchange team... arbitrarily!" ()
