"...My mentor, Chief Arcane Ms. Erin will help you," Valtoy said seriously.

Okules looked up in surprise and asked, "Help me?"

"What else?" Valtoy gave him a look in anger. "Otherwise, in front of Kule Xingfeng, what would you give yourself a name? Even if people don't believe that the technology was made by him, they would never believe it was you. So as soon as they heard that he had published your research results, I told my mentor the whole story. She was very angry about this. You know, Ms. Erin has always been dedicated to her and hates the abuse of power by a noble mage. She will definitely find out the matter."

After hearing this, Oculus suddenly rekindled the fire of hope, and felt like he had met his friend in front of him again, and his heart was warm.

"Thank you, Valtoy, but..."

Valtoy frowned and asked, "But what?"

Okules replied bitterly: "I heard that the Xingfeng family seems to have some relationship with the royal consultant Ferguson, so why not forget it."

There is indeed such a rumor.

The Xingfeng family is not an old nobleman of the empire. It has no glorious past, nor noble bloodline or surname. At first, it was just a small family in the capital. It was excluded and had no choice but to move to the newly completed Surama City a hundred years ago.

The rapidly developing environment of Surama City is like a fish in water for the Xingfeng family, who is good at doing business. This small family moved out of the capital soon became prosperous with the rise of Surama City. Its industries gradually spread throughout the region, from infrastructure construction to large-scale trade exchanges, and then shipping trade. During this period, it accumulated considerable wealth, and in exchange for respect and status by funding the Elun Sisters' Association and magic research.

But everyone understands that a family that walks from the capital is by no means satisfied with the minor achievements it has achieved in the "remote place" of Surama.

A few years ago, forty teachers and students of the Basic Magic Academy of Surama City were kidnapped by trolls. Royal adviser Ferguson was ordered by the Queen to investigate the matter and calm the subsequent impact.

The Xingfeng family took this opportunity to join the royal consultant and gave Ferguson a gift to the best-sized mansion in the upper city.

After all, in the Cardore Empire, anyone who has the word "royal" is a big shot, let alone the queen's close minister.

Whether the Xingfeng family regarded Ferguson as a big tree to enjoy the shade or wanted to use his influence to return to the capital circle, they all succeeded.

Because recently, the royal adviser was sent by the Queen to Surama City again to lead an investigation team to examine the rebellion of Speaker Lloyd of the Speaker Lloyd in the Surama Magisters. During the purge, many magicians who were too close to Speaker Lloyd were dismissed at the least and imprisoned at the worst. However, the Xingfeng family, which had been funding for Speaker Lloyd's magic research, was not affected at all.

Everyone can see that the Queen intends to take advantage of this great purge to bring the city of Surama, which has always been independent of the world, into her own control.

It is said that the Xingfeng family has used some clever means unknown to outsiders to become the queen's goal of supporting the empress. Even if the recognized waste Kule Xingfeng is not upgraded to the former magician, the Xingfeng family will become a large family that holds great power after the storm.

After all, Speaker Lloyd was responsible for the crime of treason. Royal adviser Ferguson would never dare to secretly protect the Xingfeng family that was directly related to Speaker Lloyd during such a great storm.

If these are all speculations from the outside world and cannot be considered true, then another thing is absolutely true.

Kule Xingfeng's sister married into another famous family in the city several years ago, the Lane family.

As we all know, Lord Dalton Lane, the head of the Lane family, is the fifth member of the Magicians Council of Surama City. He is a real magician. At that time, this incident caused a great sensation in Surama City. After all, with such a marriage between two big families and a strong alliance, it is almost impossible for any nobles to challenge their status.

But none of these matters. What matters is that not long ago, Lord Dalton Lane's second son, Bennett Lane, also known as Kule Xingfeng's brother-in-law, found the prophet who the Queen had been pursuing for three years.

The Lan'en family was given the gift of the queen and obtained a large fiefdom. Dalton Lane also sat firmly in the Magisters' Council and was able to survive the Great Purge. It is very likely that after the Purge ended, he became a great magician, took charge of the Surama Council, and became the primary official in helping the Queen control the Surama region.

People speculate that perhaps it is because of their in-laws and in-laws with the Lane family and the Xingfeng family, which has an indiscretion to the powerless Speaker Lloyd, has not been affected by the great purge.

If all these rumors come true, the future Lane family will become the actual controller of the Magician Council, and the Xingfeng family will assist you. Two families loyal to the Queen's faction will uphold the Queen's will and take charge of the entire region.

Okules has heard of these rumors.

Therefore, he had no hope of recovering his research results and rectifying his reputation. This storm was too big, and the leaders of the education and judging committee and those working magicians had long been unable to protect themselves.

After hearing Okules' words, Valtoy was furious and rudely stuffed the water cup into Okules's hand, sprinkled the water in his pants, and said angrily:

"You really don't have the seeds! Then you just watch Kule Xingfeng use your research results to become the 'great scholar' of the famous empire!"

Okules sighed quietly and stopped talking.

But just as the silence slowly fermented, the voice of a third person suddenly came from the room, the voice of a man!

"Have you really developed the position technology that allows the transmission network to spread throughout the Surama region?"

This sound does not sound old, but it includes the fact that after experiencing vicissitudes, it has been washed away from the dew and is restored to its original state of calmness and peace. It sounds like it makes people feel trust and favor.

Okules and Valtoi were startled. They had never noticed that there was a third person in the lounge, so they hurriedly looked in the sound.

Since the rotating staff of the teleportation network platform had just started their day work in the evening, the maintenance staff on the day shift had already returned home and the candles had already gone out. When the two of them came in, they did not light the candles again when they were in a hurry to talk, but just saw things clearly through the moonlight by the window.

The person who spoke was sitting in the shadow of the house. It was obviously gloomy and weird, but it was frightened by the peaceful sound. The two kinds of views were mixed, which was extremely strange.

He seemed very leisurely, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, leaning his left arm on the arm of the seat, and the end of the raised forearm, and his slender left hand slightly touched his chin.

The moonlight only illuminated here. Apart from the exquisite materials and the fiery red robe that emitted powerful magic waves, and the slender left hand and perfectly contoured chin, the two of them couldn't see anything else clearly.

I don’t know if the moonlight tonight was too bright, but it made the person who spoke up with a very fair skin.

No, it seems a little too white, almost pale, and the night elves will not have such a complexion.

The night elves clearly had extraordinary night vision ability, but the two found that they could not see the face shrouded by darkness. It seemed that there was a mysterious veil that could not be seen in the eyes of all visitation.

But this doesn't matter. Just the robe is enough to prove that his identity is not low. Ordinary mages will definitely not be able to afford such a robe, and at least they are at the level of a wizard.

The two hurriedly saluted and said, "Sorry, sir, we... we don't know you are here."

"Answer my question, young Okules."

The man said again.
