I'm jealous of you!
Tang En was dumbfounded by Jean's words that came out of nowhere.
Tang En asked subconsciously, "Why?"
"Because of Aiguin."
Jean scratched his messy hair, snorted, and said sourly, "Do you know how long Angus and I chased after her? It took us twenty years to get her to accept us as friends, but you — you brat, you actually won her friendship so easily! "
Tang En touched his nose. He thought that his progress with Aiguin was too slow, but after hearing Jean's words, he realized that he had actually hit the jackpot.
"Not only Aiguin, but also your strength. Angus and I spent half our lives to break through that boundary and become Legends, but you … No matter how I look at you, you're only in your twenties."
Jean said sourly, "A Legend in your twenties … The youngest Legend in history, and I'm afraid you won't be surpassed in the future. Tell me, why don't I envy you?"
Tang En chuckled and said, "I thought that legendary heroes were all Olden Town's steady and otherworldly people. Now it seems that you guys are just ordinary people."
Jean said grumpily, "Nonsense, of course we're ordinary people. We need to eat, drink, and have feelings."
As he said that, he grabbed the teapot and poured another cup of hot tea. "Another cup. You can't drink this treasure usually. Drinking a few more cups can make you live a few more years."
"You're exaggerating."
Tang En couldn't help but laugh. The leaves of the World Tree did contain rich life force and could prolong one's life, but it was impossible to prolong one's life by drinking a cup. At most, it would make one healthier.
Jean curled his lips. "Brat, you don't know how lucky you are …"
Then Jean nodded slightly at Aurelia. "My condolences, Princess Aurelia."
At this moment, he saw Eluri beside Tang En and asked in surprise, "Saintess Eluri?"
Eluri nodded. "My respects to you, Your Excellency Jean. May the light protect you."
Jean smacked his lips. "The blessing of the Holy Virgin, tsk."
"Sir Jean, it's an honor to see you again!"
Adrian stood up excitedly and saluted. How could he not be excited? Just a moment ago, he had been worrying about how to get to the City of Silver, but in the blink of an eye, the leader of the City of Silver had appeared right in front of him.
"Oh, I remember you. You're the kid from the Bolet Family. You're called … Adrian, right? Is that Aubrey? Oh, the two of you are already at the Extraordinary level? Not bad, not bad. It seems that you all have a chance to reach the Legendary realm. "
"It's my honor to be remembered by you!"
Aradeline smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to think about becoming a Legendary. I'll be satisfied if I can become a Supreme in this lifetime."
"Don't say you don't dare to think about it. How do you know it's impossible if you haven't tried? Besides … "
Jean swirled his teacup. "Come here and drink a few more cups of tea. You'll have a chance."
Tang En smiled bitterly. This guy didn't treat him as an outsider at all.
As soon as Jean said this, Aubrey and Adrian stared at Tang En with much more eagerness. They knew that Tang En's tea was very good, but they didn't know that it could prolong their lives and help them reach the next level.
Now that they knew, of course, they had to drink a few more cups.
"By the way, Your Excellency Jean, I have a presumptuous request —"
"Since it's a presumptuous request, don't say it."
Jean's words made Aradeline choke. He dug his ears and said to Tang En, "I came here this time to see you, the lucky boy who could make Aiguin look at you differently, and also …"
Jean put down his teacup and said to Princess Aurelia, "I hope to see the truth of that day. I don't believe that Clark would betray us and assassinate Victor."
After Jean's secret investigation on the coronation day, he went back and carefully analyzed the clues, but he couldn't infer more of the truth at all. So, he thought of Princess Aurelia.
Aurelia silently activated the necklace and showed the scene of the death that day.
Jean narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the scene. He saw Clark lying on the ground at a glance.
"We just studied this scene and found some clues," Aradeline said hurriedly.
"The marks on Master Clark's arm are traces of snake scales entangling him. He seems to have been tortured very painfully. According to our inference, the one who can use this kind of power is most likely the Dark Serpent."
Jean nodded slightly and stared at the scene, his brain working quickly. The remaining arcane energy in the study should be Clark's counterattack against Girard and the enemy, but it obviously didn't have any effect. Instead, he was killed by the enemy.
But what about the water elemental? There were no traces of the water elemental in the scene.
After watching for a while and firmly remembering everything in the scene in his mind, Jean nodded. "Well, thank you, Your Highness. At least I'm relieved."
As long as he knew that Clark wasn't the murderer, Jean was relieved.
"Aren't you angry, Your Excellency Jean?"
Aubrey couldn't help but ask. "Girard claimed that Master Clark assassinated His Majesty Victor."
"Angry? Of course I'm angry, but it's useless. "
Jean shook his head. "Clark couldn't protect Victor because he wasn't strong enough. Girard would make such a claim because he was corrupted by the dark power. It's useless to vent your anger on him. Digging out the real culprit is the root of the problem."
"But the reputation of the City of Silver …"
"That kind of reputation is useless."
Jean sneered. "Ridiculous politics. In the face of a great crisis, politics is the most cumbersome thing."
Aradeline was silent. They had heard of the reason why Jean founded the City of Silver. Back then, because of the end of the war, humans immediately forgot about the danger of Chaos and turned a blind eye to Jean's suggestions. The politicians had been feigning civility, and Jean was completely disappointed. In a fit of anger, he founded the City of Silver and gathered all the Magicians with his powerful appeal.
Over the years, people had been living and working in peace, but they didn't know that the City of Silver had been secretly eliminating the Gates of Chaos all over the world. Every year, hundreds of Magicians sacrificed themselves to maintain the peace of the world.
At this time, Aradeline hurriedly said, "We were just about to discuss this matter with you. Girard has gathered an army to attack Taris. He has a huge army that has been completely corrupted by the Dark Serpent and has become abnormally powerful. We need the power of Magicians to resist their attack …"
Jean shook his head. "The City of Silver doesn't have the extra power to help you with this kind of internal war."
Aradeline suddenly became anxious. "If Girard takes Taris, his next step will be to launch a war outside. The chaos will intensify, and it will be more difficult for us to deal with the Dark Serpent! The most important thing now is to protect Taris so that Girard doesn't have the extra energy to invade other countries. "
Aubrey suddenly said, "Her Holiness the Adoratrice has made a decision. After contacting His Holiness the Pope, the Knights Templar should also join this war against the Dark Serpent."
Jean looked at Eluri in surprise. Eluri nodded, confirming that what Aubrey said was true.
"Her Holiness the Adoratrice, you're putting me in a difficult position …"
Jean scratched his head, a little upset. Even the Radiant Church was involved, and the reason was very legitimate: to fight against the Dark Serpent. At this time, it was a little unreasonable for the City of Silver to stay out of this — especially now that it was widely rumored that Master Clark had assassinated Victor.
Although the City of Silver was innocent, if they didn't do anything at all, the easily fooled people under the control of public opinion for a long time would believe that it was true, and their impression of the City of Silver would naturally worsen.
But the City of Silver really didn't have any extra power now. Recently, the frequency of the appearance of the Gates of Chaos in the South Sea region and the Shining Coast in the east had increased. Although they were all small Gates of Chaos, the Magicians of the City of Silver were already very busy because of this. How could they be in the mood to fight?
Annoyed, Jean grabbed the teapot. "Hmm? No more tea? Make some more? "
Tina hurried to make tea in a flurry.
Jean crossed his arms and thought for a moment, and after a flash of inspiration, he said, "The City of Silver can't help you Magicians, but there's another way."
Aradeline's eyes lit up. "Please go ahead."
Jean pointed at Tang En and said with a little jealousy, "He's close to the elves. Can't he borrow some help from the elves? The adult elves are all Magicians, and their average level is higher than the magic apprentices of the City of Silver. "
Aradeline and Aubry shook their heads with bitter smiles. "We just discussed it. The elves can't participate in the war."
"Tsk, Isalie is still so old-fashioned."
Jean curled his lip and slapped his head. "This and that won't work … Ah, I have another idea."
As he spoke, he took out a parchment book from his spatial equipment, flipped through it casually, and threw it to Tang En. "Take it."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "What's this?"
At this moment, Tina came in with a teapot.
Staring at the teapot in Tina's hand, Jean said without turning his head, "The City of Silver has records of all the rogue Magicians, including their names, strength levels, areas of activity, and addresses. The City of Silver can't do anything about it. You can go find those rogue Magicians.
"Just say that it's me who said to allow them to participate in the war. If they don't, they'll never come into contact with anything related to magic for the rest of their lives. If they do, I can allow them to go to the City of Silver for a month of study and assessment so that they can be officially recognized as Magicians."
Tang En was dumbfounded. Was this old gangster really a Legendary hero? Not a bigshot?
Aurelia was a little dumbfounded. "Didn't the rogue Magicians refuse to join the City of Silver? How do you have information about them? "
Jean, who was staring eagerly at Tina pouring tea, curled his lip and said disdainfully, "If they don't want to join the City of Silver and accept control, then they're an unstable factor. Of course, we have to investigate and record them. If something happens, it'll be easier to investigate … Hey, hey, you don't really think that we'll let those rogue Magicians run around just because they say they don't want to join, right? … Ah, thank you, little girl. "
Tina was flattered and bowed again and again.
"Big Brother —"
A sobbing voice came from afar and rushed into the study in the next moment. The petite Elijah rushed into Tang En's arms with tears on her face.
Jean, who had just taken a sip of tea, suddenly spat it out. He stared at the little girl, dumbfounded, his face full of shock.
What terrifying magic!
