Faro felt a little sour in his nose.

He wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly to Claire immediately.

He wanted to tell Claire that he knew she had been slandered for so many years, and there was already someone in the world who stood on the same side with her.

The throbbing feeling he had every time she held him in her arms resurfaced, and this time, he no longer restrained himself.

Many feelings cannot be described in words, and Faro cannot determine what the relationship between him and Claire is.

Action speaks the best.

Faro got on the carriage and ordered the driver to drive as fast as possible to Claire's mansion.

There were not many people on the road in the early morning, and soon he arrived at the gate of the mansion.

But just as he was explaining his purpose to the butler with great anticipation.

However, he was told by the housekeeper that Claire was not in the mansion, or even in Ain Castle.

A few days ago, after saying goodbye to Faro, she returned to the imperial capital.

Back to...the imperial capital?

Faro's body stiffened, and his heart felt as if it had been hit by a hammer.

The young man looked stunned, and stammered through his thin lips:

"Why...why did she go back? Didn't she say she would attend my takeover dinner?"

The housekeeper also lowered his brows, his face full of worry.

"I don't know either. The lady didn't explain the reason."

"But I guess that the young lady might go back to see her father, Grand Duke Moon."

Farrow's expression changed slightly.

Iron Cavalry Grand Duke Moon?

Of course he knew this person, Moon, one of the three Grand Dukes who protect the country, was in charge of six legendary war groups, guarding the rule of His Majesty the Emperor with swords and iron hooves.

Although he was an excellent martial artist and proficient in military tactics, he did not care about his daughter's education. It would be better to say that he did not care about his family.

In Will's memory, he also saw that the Second Prince pursued Claire because he admired her on the surface, but in fact he was trying to narrow the distance between his faction and Grand Duke Moon.

As for the reason, Faro could roughly guess it.

His Majesty the Emperor is still in good health, and it is said that he is also a very powerful warrior. He will have no problem living for another few decades with the help of potions and spells.

So even though he has more than twenty children, he has not yet chosen an heir.

Chapter 63: Preparation for War

Faro didn't mingle much with the aristocratic circle, but he still knew about such national affairs.

The two most competitive candidates for the throne now are the eldest prince and the second prince, each of whom has his own faction.

The Second Prince spent so much effort to win over Grand Duke Moon, he must want to expand his faction and increase his chances of becoming the crown prince.

Then Claire went back to the capital to look for her father...

This was because the butler brought news that the second prince had already taken action.

So she went back to the imperial capital to find Grand Duke Moon to explain the situation between them, hoping that the Grand Duke could stop the Second Prince from killing her.

The butler looked at the dazed Faro and knew that he had figured out the reason.

The old butler sighed and said in a deep voice:

"The young lady didn't want you to suffer these unprovoked disasters, so she probably went to negotiate with the master alone."

"Before she left, she asked me to tell you that if everything goes well, she might be able to make it to your dinner party."

But he still hasn't come back yet, right?

Faro was still worried.

Then he told the housekeeper that if Claire came back, she should come to him immediately, as he had something urgent to tell Claire.

Then he left.

In the carriage, Faro's face was gloomy and uncertain.

She crossed her long legs, held her chin up, and looked thoughtful.

Since the second prince is going to take the initiative to attack him, he will never sit still and wait for death.

He had a seventh-rank Abyssal Watcher on his side, his mentor, Amos. Although his strength was not as abnormal as Claire's, he was also a genuine great wizard with quite impressive strength.

I just don't know whether he is willing to help, so I have to try my best to get him.

Then I have to buy more potions to prevent any accidents.

There weren't many nobles on good terms with him, except for Dylan. Of course he couldn't let Dylan get involved in such a dangerous matter.

He could escape through the Abyss when being assassinated. After absorbing the second alien demon, his body could stay in the Abyss longer and could even dive into deeper levels of the Abyss.

In the deeper realm, he found that time in the outside world flowed slower.

Originally, it would take two seconds to walk twenty meters in reality when walking in the shallow and deep layer, but now it only takes one second.

One step closer to the instant teleportation effect.

If he were suddenly attacked, he would most likely be able to escape.

But he couldn't take the people around him with him to escape.

Do you want to send someone to find a team of mercenaries later?

Although he didn't expect that this would be able to repel the assassins sent by the Second Prince, it could at least delay the time.

What he was afraid of was that the feud between him and the second prince would be heard by the mercenaries, and no one would dare to accept his commission.

The carriage returned to the mansion.

As soon as Faro got home, he summoned all the servants and maids.

He explained to them that after tonight's banquet, he would go to Lucarea College, so he would give them some time off.

The maids were very confused. Even if Faro went to the academy, the mansion still needed someone to take care of it. When they were on vacation, who would take care of the mansion?

In fact, Faro was afraid that the killers might hurt other people by mistake, so he temporarily dismissed them.

Then he immediately asked Mia to contact the local mercenary groups, hired forces, etc.

As expected, when everyone heard that it was Faro's commission, they all refused.

Except for some weird armed groups.

For example... armed maids or something like that.

He had heard that some wealthy families with strange fetishes liked to keep a group of armed maids, because civilians were not allowed to command the army, and maids with weapons could satisfy their strange fetishes.

Thus, this strange profession of armed maid was born.

But in Faro's view, this armed group is purely a toy of the rich, and its combat effectiveness is no match for a well-trained sheriff's team.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt chilled at this moment.

The entire Einburg distanced itself from him, unwilling to have even the slightest connection with him.

Then he visited Amos.

Faro rented a villa not far from his home specifically for the old wizard, so that he could come and teach him magic at any time.

Seeing Faro's arrival, Amos, who was preparing the potion, stood up quickly.

"I received the Reverse Source Crystal you sent me last time."

Amos said seriously.

“It’s really the real thing.”

In fact, Faro had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, and he only remembered it when Amos mentioned it.

"What exactly is the Reverse Source Crystal used for?"

Amos explained slowly:

"It is a kind of ore that occurs naturally in the Deep Abyss. It is usually made into the core of the Deep Mage's staff to strengthen the connection between the caster and the Abyss. This can help the Deep Mage control the Abyss."

"When my mentor was conducting an experiment on traveling through the Abyss, he proved that it could theoretically open the door between reality and the Abyss."

"This thing is very precious, especially to the Deep Mage. You got a bargain."

After listening to Amos' explanation, Faro nodded.

Then he explained his purpose.

He told Amos everything about the second prince and himself.

"So, I have a humble request."

"You can refuse because this matter is not within your responsibility and may even endanger your life."

"After today's dinner, I will immediately rush to Lucarea College for further studies to avoid the possible threats from the Second Prince. Can you protect my safety on the way?"

Faro spoke seriously, his eyes showing full sincerity.

Although he felt that the hope was not very high, he decided to give it a try.

Even if you are rejected, it is understandable.

It took less than a month for Amos to get to know him and become his mentor, so their relationship was certainly not very deep. Moreover, helping him would be tantamount to going against Shasilis and would more likely result in losing his life.

But what Faro didn't expect was.

Amos actually agreed very readily.

"What do you mean I could have refused? Are you looking down on the honor of a mage?"

"You have become my apprentice. As your mentor, it is my duty to protect your life. How can it have nothing to do with me?"

Amos was a little angry, and his gray beard trembled with anger.

"Even if it's Shasilis, he has no right to arrest me and hold me accountable. If he dares to attack me, it will be a major diplomatic incident."

He snorted coldly.

"Although I'm old, it won't be a problem for me to protect you."

In fact, Amos had his own plans in mind.

What Faro said today did make him a little angry. He had sworn with his soul that he would regard Faro as his apprentice, but he actually felt that he would not protect him.

on the other hand.

He knew what Faro's ability meant to magic.

Chapter 64: The Progressive Noble Farlow

On the other hand, he knew what Faro's ability meant.

The Abyss in his body is like a vast ocean. Compared with him, the amount in an ordinary third-level Abyss mage's body is just a drop in the ocean.

He can also transform ordinary Abyssal pollution into an entirely different, much more powerful Abyssal energy for his own use alone.

He is also immune to the pollution of the Abyss and various chaos. No matter how seriously polluted the patient is, Faro can absorb the pollution.

You know, no one has ever been able to do this.

Even the elven white magicians who were favored by the gods and had the best medical technology on the continent, and the chosen ones among them who were blessed by the goddess of life Gloria to save the world, did not dare to resist the abyss pollution.

These two points alone are enough to make any country in the world scramble for him.

Not to mention his astonishing destructive power.

The attack method he called [Touch of Annihilation].

It was as if Faro had been blessed by the God of Destruction, and he was able to completely annihilate the objects he had injected into the abyss, leaving no residue behind.

Even the hardest Purple Moon Steel is like a piece of thin paper in front of him.

After experimenting, Amos discovered that he could even destroy magic.
