Chapter 267: The Secret History of the Court
Two nights later, William was lying in the bedroom and sleeping soundly, when he felt a gaze watching him in a daze, and then he suddenly woke up, and sure enough, he saw a tall black figure standing in front of the bed. His first instinct was that of an assassin, and he was about to throw his magic when he heard a crisp shout outside the door: Stop!
By this time, the outside was already in flames, and Elena had already led many magicians to stand in the courtyard, with the aim of catching this uninvited guest.
The man's face had been hidden in the darkness, and William couldn't see it clearly, but it felt vaguely familiar.
"Elena, you're making good progress. A dry voice came from the dark shadow's throat, but it seemed to have been processed, and it had a youthful taste, making it impossible to tell how old the speaker was.
"Who the hell are you, let go of William!" Elena stood at the door and didn't dare to act rashly, she looked at this back and wondered, why did he look so much like Brother Lin?
William was tempted to say that he was not under his control, but when he got used to the darkness and saw the man's face clearly, he was speechless for a while.
"Me, don't you even recognize your father?" the shadow sneered, turning his face around.
"Your Majesty!" the magician outside fell to his knees, this was the old king who was said to have been "retreating" his cultivation four years ago, his appearance and tone of voice were exactly the same as back then, although his voice was very different.
Elena was completely stunned, when she saw this face, she already knew exactly what had happened, her brother Lin was completely gone, and now the owner of this body was that ancient and evil soul.
"Go down, all of you, and I'm going to have a good talk with my children. "The old fox has been a king for several lifetimes, and his attitude as a superior is extremely natural, and he has not changed at all.
"No, you're not my father!" Elena reacted, throwing a hurricane spell to reveal the face hidden by the old fox's magic.
"President Lin?" the group of magicians realized that for some reason, none of them had found a flaw just now.
The old fox waved his hand to block the remaining magic, and said unhurriedly: "I have been in retreat in Lin Qian's body for the past four years, and I just came out two days ago. Your so-called President Lin is nothing more than my furnace for cultivating magic. Since my little princess didn't tell you, let me tell you!"
As he spoke, a burst of green light came from his eyes. All the magicians who came into contact with his eyes were stricken, their bodies froze, and then they withdrew from the courtyard without saying a word, except that they never had their own independent thoughts again.
"You demon!" Elena didn't have time to grieve for Lin Qian's death, she also practiced puppet magic, she would not be easily controlled by this green light, and what she had to do was to kill this demon that occupied her dear brother Lin's body.
Ordinary magic obviously couldn't hurt the demigod-level old fox, so she used puppet magic at the beginning, an ancient magic that she had only begun to formally learn two years ago. Looking at this extremely familiar face, Elena was ruthless, her eyes emitted a strange red light, and at the same time, her two little hands pinched a spell in front of her chest, and a red ripple sent out towards the old fox's eyebrows.
"Is this all you've learned over the years?" the old fox was not afraid at all, and with one hand in both hands, the air around him suddenly became viscous.
Elena's gaze froze, and her expression became trance-like.
Seeing this, the old fox said proudly: "In my puppet space, you have no possibility of resisting. But as soon as the words fell, he felt that there was danger behind him, and he couldn't help but control Elena's mental power to loosen up, and he began to solve the small troubles behind him.
It turned out that William saw that his sister was in distress and took the initiative to attack the old fox, his magic was average, and he didn't even reach the holy level. The old fox didn't even look back, and a dark restraint made him unable to move, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't intend to kill him at all, I'm afraid he was already a corpse at this time.
Taking this opportunity, Elena got rid of the old fox's control, and with the same arms outstretched, her red puppet space was immediately unfolded, not only protecting her in it, but also vaguely expanding outward.
"It turns out that you have also become a puppet magic!" the old fox exclaimed, "At the age of 16, he has such a creation, he Offal-Heed can't give birth to such offspring!"
"You are not allowed to insult your father!" Elena struggled to unfold her red puppet space, but the outside was already surrounded by green space, and she couldn't break through the air anytime soon.
"Father?" said the old fox sneered, "I am your father! How could that stinky boy of Ofahid give birth to a genius like you? Do you think I would teach the offspring of my enemies what I have learned all my life?"
William listened in a fog on the side, and from Elena's attitude, he could know that this was not his father Ofashid, but at the same time he had a great relationship with his father and Lin Qian, but why did this person pretend to be Ofahid and keep saying that it was Elena's father?
"You don't want to lie to me! You killed my father and Brother Lin, I want to avenge them!" Elena wouldn't believe him at all, she struggled to resist the oppression of the old fox puppet space, and her eyes almost burst into flames.
The old fox looked distressed for a while, and he remembered what Lin Qian yelled at him at the beginning: "You are not worthy of being her father at all!" Thinking of this, he suddenly roared angrily, and used all his strength to directly break Elena's puppet space, and Elena was completely controlled by him. In terms of strength, Elena is far from being his opponent, after all, the years of practicing magic are there, how to say that he is also an old magician who is more than a hundred years old.
"Son, I am indeed your father, and there are some things I just don't want to tell you. The old fox then went on to tell the story of the chaotic royal family.
It turned out that since Ofahid was officially made the heir to the throne at the age of 16, he married the first beauty of the empire at the time, Roland from the Aragonese magic family (PS: this name comes from Aragorn Roland in "The Law of the Devil"). This is a beautiful woman who is like a country and a city, and her beauty is deeply attracted not only to Offahed, but also to his father, Aldrich, who has been occupied by the old fox.
The old fox had completely taken possession of Aldrich's body at this time, and it was said that his soul would not be able to use this thought anymore at such an age, but the woman named Roland had stirred his already dormant heart. Finally, while Ofahid was not in the bedroom, the old fox controlled Aldrich to have a relationship with Roland with the power of the king, and thus gave birth to Elena.
Ofahid must have noticed that the crown above his head was stained with an emerald color, but he did not dare to expose his father's misdeeds. Shortly after Elena was born, Ofaheed told the truth after a drunken episode and accidentally killed Roland. He didn't dare to say anything about this matter, only said that Roland died in childbirth, and because of this, he disposed of many maids. The old fox was grief-stricken, but he was helpless, and he vowed never to be moved by another woman, and in order not to contradict the Aragonese family, he was also helping to hide the matter.
However, paper can't contain fire after all, and when Elena was just sensible, her grandfather Aragon knew what had happened. The powerful Aragonese magic family is even comparable to the seven major families in the north, so they unite several magic families to plot to overthrow the royal family. Unexpectedly, before the plan began, they were betrayed by one of the families, and in the end, all the families were removed overnight, leaving no one alive.
The Icefield Sanren was one of the lucky ones, he had a low status in the family at the time, and he went to the center of the ice pole to venture in frustration, and his life and death were unknown, but he escaped the catastrophe. When he returned, he did not want to admit that he was a member of the former Aragonese family, so he called himself the Ice Plain Sanren. At the time, this rebellion was deliberately glorified and ignored by the royal family, and even Elena grew up only knowing that her mother came from a large magical family, which gradually declined and disappeared.
It had been a few years since Elena met the Icefield in the Magic Proving Ground, and she had asked her mother about the matter, but the Iceborne only said that she was in the center of the ice pole and didn't know what was going on, so there was no way to find out about it. Elena, who lost her mother since she was a child, is also used to the days of only her father, and only occasionally sees Ante accompanying William, she is a little envious.
"So, son, I am your real father, and you are the only child in my life. The old fox sighed, and seemed to think of her mother, Roland.
"No, it can't be! I'm my father's child, not you!" Elena actually believed half of it in her heart, but how could she accept this kind of thing, "You must be lying to me! My father and grandfather are both magical geniuses, and my talent is inherited from them, not you!"
The old fox closed his eyes in agony, he could be sure that Elena was his own flesh and blood, but no one could prove this now, because everyone who knew about it was dead.
"Child, in a blink of an eye, you are already 16 years old, and you are more and more like your mother when she got married. The old fox's eyes rarely showed a trace of tenderness, "Father didn't lie to you, and there is no need to lie to you, from now on you will still be your father's little princess." - But he, knowing so many things that he shouldn't know, should accompany his mother on the road!"
After that, the old fox was going to kill William on the side directly.
Elena hated the person who occupied her brother Lin's body in front of her, but he used this face to show the gentleness that Lin Qian often showed to her, but when she heard that he was going to kill William, she immediately shouted: "Don't!"
The old fox seemed to have expected her to do this, stopped the magic in his hand, and said coldly: "If you are willing to recognize me as a father, I will listen to my good daughter, if you really refuse to recognize me, then why should I consider your feelings?"
"Sister...... William knew that he was in extreme danger, and looked at his sister who had been dependent on him for many years with a pleading gaze.
Although Elena now knows that William and her are not related by blood, this long-standing relationship between sister and brother is difficult to part. Her eyes were tightly closed, her thin lips were bitten out of blood, and her little face was flushed, before she let out a very light and fast voice from her throat: "Father......"
