Li Yu stood in the basement in the center of the palace, feeling as if he was standing in a wind field.

The circular air duct above is several meters wide and is divided into several fan shapes. Hot air rises from one fan shape, and cold air sinks from the adjacent fan shapes, making people feel like they are standing at an air conditioning outlet.

No electronic facilities are used, purely relying on the ingenuity of the building structure to allow the convection of hot and cold air to keep the room cool.

There was no one around, but he stretched out his hands, touching the cold wind with his left hand and the hot wind with his right hand, quietly feeling...

Until Yiai came over.

"Mr. Li, the dinner party is about to begin. I..."

He turned around: "Are you a little worried?"

Yiai sighed: "Oh, they just told me today that this is an internal banquet within the family. The second brother's advisor cannot attend, and neither can you. I have to face the two lion-like brothers alone, and maybe my father's."

Questioning. Just thinking about this really makes me unable to relax. I was just told today and I am not even mentally prepared."

Li Yu: "It's the same if I tell you in advance. What preparations can I make?"

Yi Ai: "You are not by my side. This situation makes me really unable to feel at ease."

Li Yu smiled: "Didn't I tell you, just go."

Since this place is indoors and there may be bugs buried in it, the conversation between the two did not involve dangerous keywords such as 'mage'. After all, after knowing that guests other than the family could not enter this banquet, they had already

Made a plan.

The plan was simple. Li Yu was walking in the garden outside the main hall, and not far from the banquet hall, always paying attention to what was going on inside. Once there was danger in the banquet hall, Yiai broke the window glass and rushed out. Li Yu

Yu is responsible for responding.

The two of them went up the spiral staircase, and after walking a short distance, they arrived at the entrance of the grand banquet hall. Along the way, guards carrying rifles could be seen everywhere.

Yiai muttered in a low voice: "Why is the security so tight today..."

"Then I'm out."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the main door of the palace.

Yiai stared at his back for a long time, and did not look back until he walked out of the main hall and disappeared outside the gate.

The Third Highness gritted his teeth and stepped into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was very large, as big as two basketball courts put together, but there was only one table. But the table was long and extremely long.

The main seat at the inner end of the long table belongs to the old lord, who is the current head of the Yazd family. On both sides are the lord's two wives and four children. These seats are widely separated from each other.

Several meters wide. The seat at the farthest end is the seat of the young girl Hilaria, which is nearly twenty meters away from the main seat. The width of the table is also five or six meters.

At this time, the two brothers and sisters had arrived, but the main seat was still empty. Opposite the long table, the two seats belonging to the lord's wives were also empty.

Yiai sat down, and the surroundings were silent.

After a long time, the old lord with gray hair and beard came, supported by the angel in white robe.

Yi Ai took a quick look and noticed that his father's steps were more shaky than the last time they met, and his face was even worse. This made Yi Ai's worry deepen.

My father's health is also for his own life.

The day when the two brothers will break up seems to be getting closer...

The old lord sat down, covered his mouth and coughed several times, and said: "Iai is finally back. It's good. Your mother and I are very worried about your safety. By the way, your mother will not be there for today's reception banquet."

I came because they have something to do outside."

The mother of the eldest son Bahra and the second son Shap are from the same person, while the mother of the youngest son Aie and the youngest daughter Hilelia are from another person. In the past, the two wives of the old lord would usually attend family dinners. But today's anomaly

, the reason given by the old lord was a bit perfunctory.

Yiai glanced around and felt that the atmosphere around the dining table seemed a bit strange, but he couldn't figure it out, so he became increasingly uneasy.

At this time, the eldest son Bahra suddenly looked over and said with a smile: "Dear brother, I heard that you were assassinated by magic in Baghdad. Is this true?"

Li Yu stood in the garden, looking at the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the banquet hall.

The position where he stood was almost at the edge of the garden. As long as he climbed over the high wall behind him, he would reach the street outside the palace. From such a distance, normal people could only see the shape of the windows, and nothing more.

Li Yu's vision was beyond that of ordinary people thanks to the blessing of chips and nanomachines, but he could only see a long table with several people sitting there, seemingly waiting to eat. As for what they were talking about, it stands to reason that there was no

Maybe you got it.

It stands to reason...

But Ella's existence goes beyond common sense.

At this time, Li Yu was holding the backpack, and the zipper was open. Ella's eyes and right hand were exposed.

A laser beam was shot from the palm of her right hand, projected on the distant window glass, bounced back, and fell right into Ella's eyes. As long as the glass vibrated due to the sound, the laser light would produce corresponding fluctuations.

Ella's cyber body can analyze the additional fluctuations of the laser into audio.

No bugs were installed, but the effect of bugs was achieved.

The audio she analyzed was sent directly to the headphones, so Li Yu could hear it in real time.

Li Yu suddenly sighed: "You are just like Doraemon."

Ella: "What is Doraemon? A fantasy character from the old days?"

Li Yu: "...How should I put it? A cartoon character. By the way, you can do this kind of thing even though you don't have a main control chip. I really didn't expect it."

Ella: "It is indeed troublesome not to have a main control chip, but it is mainly a trouble in action and combat. Now this small function is a module that comes with the body. Even if there is no main control chip, there will be no problem."

Li Yu: "Can other mages do it?"

Ella smiled slightly: "It may be difficult for most mages to even think about it. Having an externally controlled body is probably... a privilege for people like me."

Li Yu: "Are you the president of the Mage Association?"

"Hahaha," Ella seemed to be smiling happily, "As I said, the Mage Association is a loose organization and there is no such position as a president..."

Suddenly, the voice of the old lord and his eldest son sounded in the transmitted audio.

"Yiai is finally back. It's good. Your mother and I are very worried about your safety. By the way, your mother won't come to the reception banquet today because they are busy outside."

"Dear brother, I heard that you were assassinated by magic in Baghdad. Is this true?"

Ella immediately closed her mouth, and Li Yu also frowned slightly subconsciously, listening carefully...
