Earls sat there, his eyes closed, and he didn't speak for a long time, which made Robert even more uneasy.

After a long time, the archbishop of the Garneman Empire slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's not strange that he won't explain to me, I'm just curious, after losing the shadow mage's mental power and willpower, he can still be so persistent? ”

Speaking of this, Earls tilted his head slightly: "You have used so much torture that you have not taken a word out of his mouth? ”

Robert replied tremblingly: "No! This little crumb is indeed tenacious enough, except for a few terrible screams, he remained silent the whole time, and he did not want to say a word! The point is, this guy is soft and hard, and there is no way to persuade him!"

Earls didn't speak, just glanced back at Robert, and made the latter feel uncomfortable.

"When did you start to learn to pass the buck?" Earls said, expressionless.

Robert lowered his head and did not speak, but his hands tugged at the corners of his coat.

"Do you know what the Dragon's Legacy means to us in the Brant family?" Earls continued.

Robert remained silent and did not dare to answer.

"You can't imagine how much benefit we will bring if we get the dragon inheritance! It will even far exceed the entire Garneman Empire, you know?"

Father and son then fell silent for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before Earls spoke: "Let's not talk about this, is there any news from the MIA?"

Seeing that his father took the initiative to change the topic, Robert couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, bowed down and replied: "Yes, I just got the latest news, Aofeng Green led more than sixty paladins, and at this time he has arrived at the Qingfeng Plain, and he can come to the Imperial Capital City in less than half a day." ”

Earls's expression did not change at all: "So fast, I haven't seen you for many years, it seems that this old friend is going to give me a big gift!"

Robert couldn't help but say: "Father, no matter how powerful that Ao Feng is, he is just a holy knight, we don't need to be so vigilant, right? Even if he brings more than sixty paladins, we don't have to worry at all, after all, there are so many legion officials above the Magus in the Imperial Capital." ”

Earls glanced at the ceiling above his head and said, "After so many years, I have already touched the threshold of the Law God, can't he do it?"

Robert looked at Earls with a shocked expression, and his voice trembled a little: "You, you mean that he has broken through ....."

"It's not impossible!, and my instinct tells me that the reason why Ao Feng dared to run to the City of Light with such fanfare this time must have something to rely on. Earls' eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake.

Robert looked worried: "If that's the case, then wouldn't we have a good chance of winning, and many people know that Ao Feng and Angela have a good relationship, if the two of them join forces at that time, will we be in danger?"

Earls snorted coldly, "Why are you getting less and less daring? Not to mention that Angela hasn't regained her strength yet, and even if the two of them join forces?"

Hearing the confidence in his father's tone, Robert was naturally much more relieved. As long as his father says it's okay, then there will definitely be no problem.

"Also, you don't have to spend too much energy staring at the Van family in the future, Angela is basically useless. A cold smile appeared at the corner of Earles' mouth.

Robert looked startled and was about to inquire carefully, when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Not long after, the door was gently pushed open, and the old butler of the Brant family entered the room, walked in front of Earls, and said respectfully: "Archbishop, the latest news, Ao Feng has come to the outside of the imperial capital. It's just that he is alone for the time being, and he has not seen any other team of paladins. ”

Earls nodded: "Okay, I see, you go down first." ”

After the old butler left, Earls said with a little playfulness on his face: "It seems that your military intelligence department is really not good, and even such a little news will go wrong." What are you talking about for half a day? During the time we were talking, everyone was already in the city!"

Robert only felt a cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

Earls stood up and took a deep breath: "It's better that it's not too early, at least it confirms my conjecture." ”

There was a complicated look in Robert's eyes, shock, annoyance, disbelief, all kinds of emotions.

Obviously, the conjecture that Earls said was the problem of Aofeng Green's strength breakthrough.

According to the judgment of the Military Intelligence Department, with the strength of the Ao Feng Holy Knight, it would take at least half a day to reach the imperial capital from the Qingfeng Plain, but now he only took more than half an hour, and the gap is huge, that is to say, Ao Feng must have reached the legendary "Holy Spirit Guard".

Robert clenched his fists, although he was very unwilling in his heart, but he had to admit that Ao Feng's strength had indeed left him far behind.

When Ao Feng and Robert were young, they were both geniuses of the Imperial Legion, and their strength has always been comparable.

It's just that in the battle to destroy the dragon more than ten years ago, Ao Feng became famous in the first battle, and the limelight overshadowed Robert for a while.

If it weren't for the fact that Ao Feng later offended the royal family by refusing the title of "duke", thinking about today's Ao Feng, he must be one of the extremely prominent figures in the empire.

Now, this Northwest Lion, who has been silent for more than ten years, has finally awakened again, and he is still coming as a "Holy Spirit Guard", how can this not make Robert feel unwilling and frustrated?

"Okay, don't be unconvinced, everyone else is already standing outside the city gate at this time, if you have the ability, go and fight with him, beat him down, if you don't have that ability, then obediently go out with me and meet him. Earls said, taking the lead and striding towards the door.

Robert hesitated, then quickly followed.

He was inevitably bitter in his heart, he didn't understand that he had worked very hard to improve his magic mysteries over the years, but he still couldn't break through his strength and step into the ranks of the Holy Magus.

And the Ao Feng that was far away in the barren land had reached the legendary strength of the "Holy Spirit Guard"! That was a terrifying strength that surpassed the Divine Magister and was second only to the Dharma God!

With extremely mixed feelings, Robert followed Earls to the towering walls of the imperial capital.
