Her expression softened a lot, and her eyes weren't as cold anymore.
"Yes, our relationship is very pure, not what you imagined, although she didn't help me explain it in order to make fun of me." Li Xini's eyes twitched, this girl's focus was really strange.
"The young master is not a loser. It is normal that he will be noticed one day. But I did not expect that Tria is actually the Empress's person."
Norn then began to think about the business with her head tilted. She was not surprised about this because she never thought that her young master was a waste.
Even when Licinius's memories of his previous life had not yet awakened.
It doesn’t matter even if the young master doesn’t have a talent for magic.
Norn can become the young master's weapon and follow him from birth to death.
All she has to do is obey.
"Who would have thought of this? But to be honest, this makes sense."
After Li Xini returned home, he reviewed what happened today in great detail.
And found several key points.
First, according to the intelligence of the empress, these thugs roaming around the ancient city of Hera and the city of Roma are always supported by someone behind the scenes, and they are taught some black magic to enhance their combat effectiveness.
So it's no surprise that the Empress is keeping an eye on these thugs.
Although these traitors cannot come to the fore, the person behind them is a big fish.
Licinius, on the other hand, was only noticed in passing.
In other words, behind the events that took place in Roma City were two huge forces secretly fighting each other.
Second, it is actually about that magic book.
Because Roma City is known as the city of crime, there are looting and smashing incidents almost every day. The more serious ones include robbing businesses or caravans, and even terrorist attacks, hostage-taking and ransom demands, etc. The methods used by these criminals are different, but the ultimate goal is the same.
That's the money...
They stir up unrest in the country, forcibly plunder wealth, and eventually transfer it to those who support them behind the scenes.
This method is really bad.
However, the appearance of the clown gang yesterday was a bit strange, because in general criminal cases, the amount of money demanded by the criminals would not be too large. After all, they also knew how poor this small city was.
Asking for 100,000 gold coins and a blood-thirsty flying dragon at one time is simply asking for too much.
Li Xini always felt that this action of the Clown Gang might not be directed by the people behind them, but was their private plan to make a big profit and then run away.
And very anxious.
"The city of Roma is too close to the ancient city of Hera. This should be a contest between the Empress and Archduke Joachim. The Empress wants to confirm who Joachim's employees are and then eliminate them. Archduke Joachim is probably not a fool either. He will definitely want to get rid of the Empress's people."
Li Xini pondered for a moment: "As for the Clown Gang, why are they in such a hurry to escape? Is it because they have committed some crime? Or did they take something they shouldn't have taken?"
He reached out and touched the magic book in his pocket, and had a vague guess.
From this perspective, Roma City is a dangerous place!
"Master?"
Noren called him softly.
"Ah, I'm fine. Noren, starting tomorrow, take out all our savings. I want to purchase a batch of alchemical materials, and the remaining money will be used to buy you life-saving equipment!" Li Xini handed the girl a note.
He was excited about this chaotic situation. The open and secret struggles between the empress and the grand duke must be very dangerous.
Warlocks have a lot of strange methods.
It's different from a crude woman like Norn who has small breasts and no brains.
Who knows what kind of unconventional magic could kill him.
But he can't just focus on his own death.
Noren's safety must be guaranteed, and he must be armed from head to toe.
Especially now that he has embraced the empress's legs, he can get more benefits for his wife.
"Alchemical materials?"
Noren took the note, glanced at the strange materials on it, and frowned: "Master, do you want to be an alchemist?"
"Ah, this."
Licinius couldn't say that he wanted to sacrifice himself to the evil god.
I could only perfunctorily say, "That's about right. Although being an alchemist is more expensive in the early stages, if you succeed, it will be the most lucrative industry. Then I can buy you more survival equipment and use a lot of resources to help you advance quickly. I think you are no worse than that woman Novia."
The woman, Novia, was twenty-one years old, and Norn was only seventeen.
There is a full four years difference, and the Valerius family has a lot of resources piled up.
But the difference in strength between the two people is only one rank.
Although the transition from level 4 to level 5 is considered a threshold, it is difficult for ordinary people to cross.
But for Noren, it shouldn't be difficult.
Norn lowered his head in silence, and pinched the soft flesh between his thighs with his white little hands.
She looks a bit worthless, but she's not heartless.
Every time Li Xini mentioned his plans for when he had money in the future, he would spend the money on her.
Although it is said that painting cakes is a common tactic used by scumbags...
"Got it, Master."
Noren whispered: "Go to sleep..."
Li Xini yawned and said, "Well, turn off the lights and go to sleep. We will be on alert mode tomorrow."
He blew out the candle, changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed, but his mind was full of thoughts.
"What kind of magic tools should I buy for Norn? For example, black stockings with wind magic circles, miniskirts with light magic circles, and underwear made of ancient dragon scales
A leg ring that seals compound magic? Rings, necklaces, earrings and other accessories need to be engraved with space teleportation magic. It's really expensive. I might as well sell all three shops..."
As long as Noren is strong enough, he can die without any worries!
Licinius thought.
On the other side of the big bed, Noren curled up into a small ball, hiding under the quilt.
As long as I am strong enough, the young master will be safe.
If Licinius knew what this girl was thinking, he would be furious...
Chapter 17 Face the Wind!
Licinius dreamed of the day he left the capital.
"Are you sure you want to leave with me? If you stay here, you will not only have the best magic resources, but you may also be able to restore the reputation of the nobility. By then, you will be the adopted daughter of Grand Duke Bern."
"don't want… "
"If you leave with me, you will suffer a lot, and your life may even be in danger. Stay."
"don't want… "
"Okay, since you insist on leaving with me. But aren't you afraid that I might think of you? In the past, there were many people in the family, but when I come to Roma City, I can do whatever I want, and I can play with you from childhood to adulthood."
"Not afraid..."
"Well, let's go."
When he opened his eyes again, he found that there was no one beside him, leaving only traces of folded sheets and the neatly folded quilt, lingering with the unique fragrance of a young girl.
Norn gets up before five o'clock every day. She will first do her daily fighting and magic training in the yard, then take a bath, dress neatly, and go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Like a robot day after day.
"Good morning, Noren."
Li Xini stretched, dressed, washed up, went downstairs, and smelled a strong fragrance.
Today's breakfast is cream of mushroom porridge.
"Morning, Master."
Norn was sitting opposite him at the table, resting her chin on her hand and staring at him expressionlessly while he ate. It was said that she never ate breakfast in order to maintain her figure, but she always had the obligation to cook. When she saw the young master finish all the food she cooked, she would show a satisfied look.
Li Xini drank his soup, his eyes falling on the newspaper on the table.
Today's newspapers are finally no longer about reports of vicious incidents of looting and smashing, because after a temporary truce, the front-line border defense troops finally withdrew from the ancient city of Hera, boarded an airship through the Forest of Demons, and arrived at the city of Loma. This city, which was still troubled by public security issues, ushered in a true liberation.
Riots can only be suppressed by violence.
And in this world, there is nothing more violent than the military.
Licinius flipped through the newspaper and muttered quietly, "Well, that border defense force is the elite of the empire, the Iron Legion. The leader of the legion is Cyrus Via Salvatore, one of the three great giants of the empire and the son of Archduke Joachim. As far as I know, the empress went to the front line to supervise the battle only two months ago. In other words, in the past, the ancient city of Hera was mostly under the charge of General Cyrus."
He finally understood how this black magic came about.
No wonder the empress would go to the front line in person to supervise the battle.
The so-called supervision is actually to investigate the source of black magic.
"So, the clown thugs were eager to take the money and leave, could it be because they were afraid of Cyrus?"
Licinius fell into deep thought.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Noren looked suspicious and stood up to open the door.
Outside the courtyard, Tria was standing at the door with a smile on her face. She was still dressed in a pure and elegant white lotus. She said gently, "Master Li Xini, classmate Norren, good morning."
Nolan glanced expressionlessly at her breasts that were about to burst out, then turned around and sat back down.
"How did you come?"
Li Xini finished his porridge and said, "Come in..."
Tria was not polite. After entering the room and taking a look at the layout, she asked directly, "I came here to ask, are you still planning to go to the academy for class today?"
Li Xini thought for a moment and said, "I'll go. Norn will probably be late."
He assigned Norn a task today, which was to go to the Black Pearl Chamber of Commerce to purchase alchemical materials.
Tria said faintly, "Then we have to be careful. After the Iron Legion arrived at Roma City, they have replaced the city lord and completely controlled the city. The garrison has also been incorporated. General Cyrus's spies are active in the city, and they seem to be investigating or looking for something."
"So fast?"
Licinius suddenly became excited.
Wherever there is danger, he is there!
"Yes, Cyrus's spies are not easy to deal with. We have fought with them many times, both openly and secretly. I'm afraid they came to Roma City this time to completely eradicate your Majesty's wings here."
Tria said: "They even invited people from the Bureau of Control."
"The Bureau?"
Licinius raised an eyebrow.
Tria nodded: "Yes, it is also a special department under the military, specializing in intelligence and reconnaissance. The person in charge is one of the three giants of the empire, Constance Barron."
Licinius remembered that legendary figure. It was said that he started out as a detective in his early years. Later, he was noticed by the empire and established an intelligence department in the military. He was also very powerful.
“Your Majesty means that if you encounter danger, you can find a way to evacuate Loma City. We have a secret base outside the city.
But if that happens, Cyrus's people will definitely notice our disappearance, and then they will locate our identities and find out what we have done in the past." Tria said.
"Your Majesty is actually making such a bad plan?" Li Xini was a little surprised.
"After all, they invited the successor of the Governing Bureau, a direct descendant of the Barron family."
Tria said: "The detection ability is very strong, so you need to be more careful. Once your black magic is exposed, you should know what kind of disaster you will face."
She pulled out a ring with a black diamond and handed it over.
"What is this?" Licinius asked curiously.
"Don't use what His Majesty has given you unless it's absolutely necessary," Tria said seriously.
Li Xini was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that the benefits of hugging the empress's legs would come so quickly.
