In the Empire of Opdos, the imperial capital of Wynether, the outer imperial city, in the right minister's mansion, there was an old man who was also full of white hair and a very thin figure lying on the rocking chair in an antique courtyard, but this old man was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, and behind him stood an extremely fat and oily middle-aged man, although the late autumn night was very cold, but his forehead was covered with dense and fine beads of sweat, wiped with a silk handkerchief from time to time, and a thick stack of documents was placed on the coffee table next to him, The middle-aged man kept talking about something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the old man who was lying in the rocking chair did not listen to a word, and his mind kept thinking about what the young man who had watched him grow up say to him yesterday. As soon as he remembered the stubborn look of the child for what he had identified, a smile involuntarily appeared on the old man's face, and finally the child who had been seen by himself since he was a child grew up and had his own opinions, and would no longer obey the words of his elders without refuting them.

Although the old man's mood was a little lost, but more than that, he was relieved, because from this young man, he saw the results of his years of hard work, and the hope of success was already looming, although it was only a corner of it, but he believed that the day he had been waiting for for a long time would not be too far away!

After the middle-aged man standing behind him finished speaking, he stopped, waiting for the old man's reply, but he never thought about it, and after waiting for a long time and there was no reply, he couldn't help but take a step forward, but inadvertently saw a charming smile on the corner of the old man's mouth. This did not matter, and he was taken aback at once, because since he could remember, the old man had never had a smile on his face no more than ten fingers, and this could not surprise him.

For a while, the two fell into a strange silence, and I don't know how long it took, but the oily middle-aged man broke the silence with a hoarse voice.

"Father, Your Majesty has sent me a message to ask you which prince you think is more suitable for the heir to the throne?"

The oily middle-aged man carefully accompanied the old man, hesitated and asked again and again.

"You tell him that whoever he decides is whoever he wants, I have no opinion!" After hearing this question, the old man's shaking chair suddenly stopped, as if he was unhappy.

"However, you are the right minister of the empire, in charge of the most powerful mage army in the empire, if you don't take a stand, even Your Majesty will not be at ease, and besides, your laughter that night...!" The oily middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and finally did not finish his words, because he had already mustered up a lot of courage to ask these words.

"Laughter? I'm so happy, can't I laugh! The old man's eyes were still not open, and he said expressionlessly.

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right." The middle-aged man hurriedly nodded yes, he carefully wiped the non-existent sweat on his head, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, You think it's nothing to laugh, the people below are busy breaking their hands and feet, but he only dares to think about it in his heart, and he definitely doesn't dare to show the slightest. Then he turned around and asked cautiously. "That's... That one... He... He's back, do you want to see him? ”

"What is he doing when he comes back, as a member of the Alfred family, he actually secretly learns forbidden magic, what face does he have to come back, let him get out, when did he give up forbidden magic, when will he appear in front of me again, otherwise you told him never to appear in front of me!" Although the oily middle-aged man did not say the name of that person, it was obvious that both of them knew who the person they were talking about, but they never thought that the smile on the old man's face would disappear suddenly, and he opened his eyes violently, as if he had heard something angry.

"However, he is the sole heir of the Alfred family after all, you...!"

Just when the oily middle-aged man wanted to say something good for the person in his mouth, he saw that the old man who was lying on the chair stood up suddenly, with his hands behind his back, his head tilted, looking at the east under the night, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing that the old man who had never been moody and unhappy looked nervous, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, watching the old man's fingers gently tap on the windowsill, the middle-aged man couldn't help but step forward and wanted to ask a question, at this time the old man's back seemed to have a pair of eyes, he raised his hand and motioned for the middle-aged man to wait for a while. It didn't take long for the old man to turn around and stare at the ground with a solemn expression.

"Father, what happened?" The oily middle-aged man asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, it's just an old friend reappearing!" At this time, the old man's surprised expression eased just now.

"Your old friend!" The middle-aged man frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Yes! An old friend, a grumpy and arrogant guy, a guy who has disappeared for more than thirty years. The old man sat back in his chair and closed his eyes, as if he knew what the middle-aged man was thinking. You don't have to think about it, it's Nicholas! ”

After listening to the old man's words, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed, and he could see that he was very afraid of the name, and fell silent for a while.

After a long time, the middle-aged man couldn't help but ask again.

"Father, is it true that the rumors of discord between the five legendary dragons have always been true?"

However, the old man did not answer the middle-aged man's question immediately, but took a step, and his thin body lay back in the rocking chair, closed his eyes again, and shook gently, as if he was asleep, but judging from his fingers that tapped the armrests slightly, the old man should be thinking about something.

After seeing the old man's inscrutable expression, the middle-aged man had no choice but to stand aside and dare not ask again. Time passed little by little, and the old man lying on the chair still did not move, and the middle-aged man had to wait quietly aside.

"It's not something you should care about, put more effort into studying magic, improving your strength is the most important thing, don't think about that mess, understand!" The old man did not answer the middle-aged man's question, but scolded a few words. "You are a magician, and power is a heavy burden for you."

After hearing the old man's last words, Zhong Rennian's heart couldn't help jumping, although the old man didn't open his eyes, but he felt that the old man could see clearly and understand better than anyone else, as if the things he did secretly did not hide from the old man lying on the chair at all. After secretly glancing at the old man, the middle-aged man quietly retreated, and after walking out of the courtyard, he whispered a few words to the people outside, and then looked back at the room where the old man was with a complicated expression, and then disappeared into the night in a hurry.

When everyone was gone, the whole courtyard fell silent, and the old man lying on the chair still had his eyes closed and his index finger tapping gently, but it was not difficult to see from the frequency of the beating that his mood was not as calm as his face appeared.

This is exactly the case, at this time, the old man's heart was worried about Krizer who was far away in Berkeley, he clearly remembered that Krizer said before leaving that the place he was going to was Berkeley, and he also pointed out to Krizer that if it was not necessary, try not to go near the Eyjafarah Jocco Volcano.

Although he didn't explicitly point out that the tyrant Nicholas was there, presumably he wouldn't take the risk, but judging from the fact that the tyrant Nicholas had woken up, Krezer's trip should have a lot to do with it, and a helpless smile appeared on his face when he thought of this, as if he saw someone in Krazer when he was young.

After the tyrant Nicholas stood in the crater of Ajafara Jucco and roared in the sky, the top powerhouses on the continent more or less put down what they were doing and looked up in the direction of Ajafara Jucco Volcano.

For these people, although they can't see with their eyes, they can clearly feel the restlessness of the fire magic elements caused by the tyrant Nicholas, in the face of the reappearance of the tyrant Nicholas, some people show disdain, some frown and look anxious, and some people are overjoyed, in short, with the re-emergence of the tyrant Nicholas, some things on the continent will become confusing.

However, the three Kreizers, who were one of the culprits in this incident, were now standing outside a large city gate together in the crowd of fleeing, quietly waiting in line to enter the city of Conyounis.

Because there were too many people fleeing, there was a long queue in front of the city gate, and the three of Krazer had to stand at the end of the line, looking at the ragged and frightened people around them, and they could clearly see that the refugee team was divided into two parts, and most of the refugees at the front were Terrans, and only a few goblins were dressed cleanly, and the more they looked at the back of the line, they were all goblins with panicked faces.

After looking around, Kreeser turned his head to look back, and found that there were still many refugees rushing here in the distance, and those people were more or less wounded, and the volcanic ash falling with the wind fell on the faces of the refugees, washed out by sweat, and people could not distinguish each other's true faces at all, only from their frightened eyes, they supported each other, and rushed towards the city of Conyounis, which symbolized peace and hope.

However, the three of them stood for a long time and did not notice a single step forward in the procession, which surprised Krezer, who quickly discovered the source of this phenomenon by virtue of his height. It turned out that a table had been set up under the city gate at some point, and around this table stood two teams of heavily armed guards, and behind the table sat a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and a beard, who was squinting at the long line of refugees in front of him, and his eyes were shining with a strange light.

Just as Kratzer wondered about the situation, a guard stood up from behind the middle-aged man with a sharp beak and cheeks, and saw him holding a notice made of silk and reading it aloud with a serious expression.

Looking at this strange scene, Kreeser listened to it and found that it was the latest order issued by the city lord's mansion, because too many refugees entering the city caused many inconveniences to the security of Conyounis City, so from now on, Conyounis City began to levy a city fee, except for the goblins, there are no ten silver coins for other races, and twenty silver coins for the goblins, and those who pay the entry fee can enter the city immediately, and those who cannot afford to pay the entry fee will be immediately expelled and not allowed to enter the city.

After waiting for the guards holding the city lord's announcement to announce the order, the refugee procession outside the gate suddenly exploded, and people accused the city lord of Conyounis of taking advantage of the fire to rob and have a despicable character, and some people encouraged the refugees to unite and not pay this abnormal entry fee, but after they saw a person who came forward to argue with the sharp-beaked monkey in the cheeks, beaten to death by the heavily armed guards, the excited refugees did not move again.

Even if they knew that this entry fee was a means used by the city lord to exploit them, they could only obediently follow his rules, otherwise they would have to sleep outside the city of Conyounis, after all, they could live in a warm and comfortable room for a little more money, and no one wanted to live in this cold and windy wilderness, especially in an extremely chaotic time like now.

Looking up at the heavily armed guards at the head of the city, and the guards patrolling back and forth near the city gates, combined with the scouts rushing out of the city gates from time to time, Kreizer took a closer look and found that the guards of Conyounis City were not the same as those he had seen in previous cities, both in terms of equipment and numbers, and Kreezer also found that the number of weapons on the city walls was several times that of the previous cities.

While Krazer himself was observing the city, the goblin Lucas and the dwarf Camosiddo didn't know when they began to reach the same front, and the two pointed at the middle-aged man sitting behind the table, and the words in their mouths were even more unbearable, and there was no lack of resentment against the cold girl, because since they left the eastern foothills of the Ijafara Jucco volcano, they found that the pouring rain was in the eastern foothills, but there was not a drop of rain in the direction of Berkeley City to the west of the volcanic mountains, This is what makes the city of Berkeley much more harmed than anywhere else.

"Do you think this city of Conyounis looks like a fortress?" After observing for a long time, Kraser suddenly looked back at the two who were scolding Zhenghuan, and the latter reciprocated him with an idiot look, and Krazer couldn't help but touch his cheeks in embarrassment when he saw this. "What's wrong, what's wrong with what I said?"
