Chapter 165: I Want to Know the Truth
After a long time, Ao Feng said, "You mean, that dragon soul is on you now?"
Dylan nodded, then removed the horn of death from his neck and handed it to Aofeng.
Ao Feng took it, looked at the dragon horn carefully, and then handed it back to Dylan, with a solemn face: "Before you reach the strength of the Demon Master, don't let others know about this matter! The matter of the Demon Dragon is too important, once you are caught by someone with impure minds, then you will be hunted down and killed by many forces in the empire, after all, the Demon Dragon back then did kill too many innocent people." ”
Dylan frowned and nodded: "Don't worry, father, I naturally understand some truths." ”
"Hmm. Ao Feng touched his chin, "You mean, the current Legion has been planted with enemy eyeliner, and can get your information at any time?"
Dylan nodded: "Yes, it's just that the Imperial Legion has screened it and found no suspicious person." ”
Ao Feng waved his hand: "Not necessarily! Maybe some people have entered the legion very early, or even the first batch of mages, berserkers or paladins to enter the core area to fight, this is also possible." ”
Dylan's pupils shrank: "You mean that there is indeed no problem with his identity, but he has always been a veteran of the legion, and he has long been hidden in the interior of the legion?"
"Some people, on the surface, seem to be doing their best for the legion, but in fact, they have been doing things for some nobles, whether it is to collect all kinds of information or provide decisions within the imperial legion, they will do it. Moreover, these people tend to have a good position in the legion, and are generally officer-level figures, and they tend to do things more covertly and are difficult to detect. ”
Dylan looked solemn: "The more this is the case, the more I have to find that person, or those people! Otherwise, they will be like hidden dangers in the legion, if at the critical moment, these people jump out to disrupt the overall situation, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
Ao Feng was noncommittal, but changed the topic and said: "All these years, I haven't replied to you, do you blame me?"
Dylan shook his head and said, "No, I know that you have to manage the entire North Wind City, and it is also very hard. ”
Ao Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Although there are indeed a lot of affairs in North Wind City, this is not the main reason. I'm afraid that I will put too much pressure on you, and I'm afraid that you will be too concerned about this place and will not be able to improve your strength with peace of mind. ”
Dylan looked bitter: "Actually, I have already saved enough military achievements, but I have never dared to come back too early, because I always feel that my achievements are not enough, and it will embarrass you." After all, you used to be a great contributor to the empire, and I am still beyond my reach. ”
Ao Feng laughed heartily: "Those were all many years ago, so there is no need to mention them again." But you kid, your reputation is very amazing now, and the rumors about your demon hunting team in the entire empire are almost all household names. ”
Dylan smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Those are all exaggerated by others, and you can't believe them all." ”
After Ao Feng smiled, his face quickly calmed down, and his deep blue eyes were full of worry: "In the future, in addition to facing demons, you will have to face more enemies hidden in the shadows, but you must pay more attention." ”
Dylan nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, I'm already an eighth-level magician at the moment, and I can enter the ninth level in the explosive state, and demons below the middle level generally can't pose a threat to me." As for those enemies hiding in the shadows, Archmage Angela also takes good care of me, and has already begun to thoroughly investigate my plots, and I think it won't be long before there will be progress. ”
The father and son were silent for a moment, and then Dylan asked again: "Father, I have several doubts in my heart, and I can't solve one of them. ”
Ao Feng sighed and said, "You ask, there are some things that I can tell you now." ”
"Why did you end up being given the title of a baron when you had made a great contribution to the Empire? I heard that you gave up on your own initiative, why is that?" Dylan looked at Olvern Green with a puzzled expression.
Ao Feng took a deep breath, his eyes full of remembrance: "I think back then, the Empire's Magician Association issued a hunt and kill order, demanding that all shadow mages be hunted down. Although you, Uncle Max, have always been with the Lion Knights and have been by my side, but he is also a shadow mage, something that many in the Empire know. ”
"At that time, the Wizards' Guild also issued a hunt order for Max, but I stopped him. I will trade a duke title for your Uncle Max's life. ”
"At that time, the Wizards' Guild did not agree to this request, and in the end it was Earls who interceded for me, which saved your Uncle Max's life. ”
After listening to Aofeng's narration, Dylan fell into deep thought. In this way, Earles's relationship with his father is not as bad as some people privately say.
Ao Feng continued: "It is precisely because of this that your Uncle Max finally decided to follow me to the City of the North Wind and become the great steward of our Green family, otherwise, with your Uncle Max's strength, you are now fully qualified to be the captain of the Knights." ”
Hearing this, Dylan couldn't help but ask, "I've always felt very strange, why the Lion Knights have never had a real leader, but only a deputy leader." ”
Ao Feng smiled bitterly: "This tradition has been passed down from my time. Back then, the Lion Regiment had a leader, but in a battle, the great leader sacrificed himself to save me. After his death, many people recommended me to be the head of the group, but I flatly refused, and I only agreed to continue to serve as the deputy head of the group, and the position of head of the head would always be reserved for the great paladin, even if he was no longer there. It's just that I didn't expect this tradition to be passed down to this day. ”
Speaking of this, Ao Feng shook Dylan's shoulders and said word by word: "This person, you must remember, his name is Henry Ciro, and he is your father's savior!"
Dylan nodded firmly.
Looking at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, Dylan took a deep breath and said, "Father, I have one more thing I want to ask, and it is also the last question. ”
Ao Feng didn't reply, as if he had expected Dylan's words.
Dylan's voice trembled and asked, "How did my mother die?"
Aofeng turned his back to Dylan, motionless, looking up at the distant sky, and did not answer.
Dylan said again: "I want to know an answer, an accurate answer, after all, I'm not too small now, I think, I should be able to know." ”
