Vol 4 Chapter 22: Begging (below)

After appeasing the lost Serran Kovo, Loren and his party had to take him back to the Xia Mu courtyard and leave it to Isaac and the little wizard for temporary care.
Right now the wizard apprentice is apparently asleep, and his mental state has reached a critical point of collapse; apart from occasionally whispering like dreams, he is constantly asking three people to rescue his father, and nothing else.
Although there were only three words, the dark-haired wizard also had a general understanding of the situation-just after the accident last night, in addition to the patrol to the Royal Wizards College, the entire garrison army dispatched at least more than half of the troops and blocked Golovin. All the urban areas near the hills arrested suspects.
His father, Lussak Covo, who was once employed by Siscott Zahn as a doctor and pharmacist, was naturally imprisoned on the list of suspects.
Although Lusak Kovo is a famous pharmacy master, after all, not every wizard has the courage to arrest; and Master Albert, the former wizard consultant, cannot protect the safety of every wizard in the imperial capital.
When returning home and discovering that his father was arrested, Seran Covo had no choice but to run to the Xia Mu courtyard to ask for help from Loren ...
After confirming that the apprentice of the wizard was lying down, the dark-haired wizard carefully closed the door before leaving, and turned and walked into the next room ... A high prince had been waiting for a long time.
"Siscott Charne, the magnificent former Chancellor of the Exchequer, actually died so inexplicably ... really creepy ..."
With a slight sigh, Brandon didn't even see much smile on his face: "Now the emperor is full of all kinds of gossip ... how about, you have nothing to do with this matter?"
"No," Loren replied indirectly, with a little tiredness in his eyes: "But the Garrison Corps who came to investigate was clearly prepared. If it wasn't Master Albert, the wizarding school's tonight said no Clear."
"Although the ins and outs have not been clarified, this is definitely not an accident, but a premeditated assassination and framing!"
"That's natural ..." Brandon put his chin on his hands: "Although Siscott is arrogant, he is the leader of the old noble and wants to assassinate him ... the difficulty is second only to assassinate my beloved father, His Majesty the Emperor! "
"And, this old guy's death is not his own!"
Loren nodded solemnly.
Siscott Zahn, he is not only the Zahn family, but also the leader of all the old nobles in the entire Saqran territory, and the former former Chancellor of the Treasury ... Sudden violent death will surely cause a series of turmoil, blood and hatred fighting for power and profit.
The families with hundreds of years or even thousands of years left over from the ancient Sakran Kingdom era, their power is almost rooted in this land, and it is also the largest group and mainstay in the imperial capital.
While Siscott was still alive, the old man's prestige would allow them to unite; but there must be no heads of dragons now, in order to fight for Siscott's position to fight each other.
"By the way, what happened to the apprentice named Selan Kovo?"
Loren shook his head: "As for his current mental state, we can't ask anything even if we ask; still let him take a break for a while before trying to figure out something."
"No, you misunderstood, Loren." Brandon slightly raised his mouth, and there was a bit of coldness in his smile: "I just want to say ... who told him, come here to find you guys to help ? "
As soon as the voice fell, the expression of the black-haired wizard froze.
At this point in time, if it wasn't for someone with ulterior motives, it could only be ... Royal Wizard College?
"Xia Mu courtyard is full of spies, and you are my wizard advisor ... Seran Kovo comes to you for help, which is equivalent to coming to me. The people of the Royal Wizard College cannot understand this truth!"
The smile on Brandon's face grew stronger, and the pupil of the red pupil shone with a strange luster: "In other words ... from the moment you took him into the Xia Mu courtyard, it was equivalent to telling others that I would help the accidental arrest Master Lusak Kovo. "
"Obviously knowing that this matter is extremely dangerous, and desperately trying to drag us into the water ... why?"
The dark-haired wizard slowly shook his head:
"Probably to protect yourself?"
"Self-protection?" Brandon tilted his head.
"No matter who Siscott assassinated, it is very likely that they will go to the Wizarding College to carry this black pot; so they plan to use Master Lusak ’s arrest to test us whether they really form an alliance or just want to Use them. "
Thinking of the entrustment of the wizard Grey Saar before leaving, the dark-haired wizard became more convinced of his judgment.
Loren couldn't help but sigh: "So whether you can rescue this master Lussack is also related to your credibility."
Pouting, Brandon was silent for a long time: "So if we can't save this Master Lussack, not only will the Wizarding Academy not be united with us, the Countess Charlotte may also abandon us?"
"Not necessarily, but definitely." The black-haired wizard sniffed. "And I think she wanted to do this already."
"Then again, how did you talk when you met her for the first time ... several times I wondered if she really wanted to strangle me!"
"... Let's change the subject, how?" Brandon sneered, ignoring the dark-haired wizard directly, and tentatively asked two questions: "So ... I have to find a way to remove this Master Lussack from Fished out of prison? "
Brandon ’s expression was obviously hesitant, and he scratched his hair in embarrassment ... He obviously did n’t have much to do with this kind of thing, but in the face of the active request of the Royal Wizards College, it was impossible to die. .
Loren also agrees on this point ... Although it is very cold-blooded to say so, Brandon is still a famous and powerless prince, who took the risk of participating before he actually got an appointment from Eckhart II This kind of power struggle is obviously an unwise move.
"Then ... Would you like to send Suran back?" Loren asked tentatively.
To be honest, he has no good way to solve this problem now.
"He's already here, is it appropriate to send it back again?" His prince, the restless prince, flattened his mouth. "You also said that this involves my credibility!"
The dark-haired wizard sighed: "If this is the case, then I have a proposal."
"Tell me?"
"If you say ... you don't intervene, how about let me clean up the charges of Master Lussack Kovo?" Loren had no joke on his face at all, and looked at Brandon with his eyes:
"In this way, the whole thing is that as a wizard, I accept the apprentice's request to help another senior ... I don't need you to come forward at all, so at least no one will talk about it at least on the bright side."
"At the same time, the Royal Wizards College and the Countess Charlotte will also have to fulfill their respective commitments and be taken under your banner to become our most determined ally!"
The words fell, and the smile on Brandon's face that looked at the dark-haired wizard with his eyes gradually receded, the expression more dignified:
"But in this way, you have to find the murderer of Siscott's death alone, and at the same time make me lose the excuse to protect you."
"Working with the old nobles, facing the anger of the Zahn family, they were stared at by the black hands behind the scenes ..."
"At the same time, iron evidence ~ EbookFREE.me ~ must be used to persuade the former justice, Victor Hughes, who has never been favoritism ..."
"Loren Turin ... Do you think you can really do it?"
The dark-haired wizard nodded silently: "I don't know."
"But this is the safest way."
Hearing this kind of answer equivalent to not answering, instead made Brandon smile slightly: "So, how about we just make a bet?"
"If you succeed, I will do my best to make you the Earl of the Empire."
"Ah? I remember we seemed to say it ..."
"No, no ... I know we have an agreement, but this time it is not a knight of honor like a wizard advisor, only a manor and a knight of a nominally-enclosed land."
Brandon raised his mouth, his smile full of temptation:
"It is a Earl's lord who truly holds land, financial power, and the army, from generation to generation!"
