Francois City, the largest and most prosperous megacity in the Alpha Empire.

With a population of millions, it is the most famous political, cultural and economic center in the north of the mainland.

Marshal Belém @ Haruman who returned in triumph was in a good mood, and after being inspected by His Majesty the Emperor in Victory Square, he was also awarded the honor of earl, and his position was once again promoted to the Generalissimo of the Empire, leading the land and water armies of the Empire, and almost the entire military strength of the Empire was handed over to the hands of Belém @ Harut.

Grateful for the Emperor's trust, Belen @ Harut declined the invitations of other court officials after swearing allegiance, and went straight back to the Generalissimo's Mansion, which was located in the most luxurious palace in the imperial capital.

Because of the perennial war abroad, he has not seen his baby granddaughter for three years, and his deep longing made the old marshal put down a lot of important entertainment, and wanted to stay with his baby granddaughter for a while.

In the back garden of the Marshal's Mansion, a girl in a purple skirt sat cross-legged, with the lotus fingers of both hands on her knees, concentrating on meditation.

A gentle breeze swirled around the girl's body, gentle and steady.

Belen came to the back garden, stopped the maid's announcement, and stood quietly outside the garden, watching the girl who was focused on cultivation.

Judging from the operation of the wind, the girl's control of the wind element has almost reached the point of doing whatever she wants, and she can make the wind element fluctuate slightly with her own spiritual power, which shows the girl's affinity for the wind element. It's been unbelievable.

Whether a magician can make great achievements in the future depends on the level of affinity for the elements in addition to having a strong spiritual power foundation. It directly determines the size of the magician's future magical achievements.

The higher the elemental affinity, the easier it is to master a high-level elemental magic, and the higher the success rate of using that elemental magic, the more powerful it is.

If a person does not have an elemental affinity, then even if the mental power is bursting. At best, you can only be a theoretical magician, and you can't really exert the power of magic.

Seeing the girl's engrossed meditation, Belen was very pleased. Although his son died young, leaving such a genius-like granddaughter to himself also gave himself a little spiritual sustenance and comfort for the old man.

Just raise this precious granddaughter well. Future achievements. It may not be much worse than yourself.

After looking carefully for a while, suddenly, the wind element suddenly stopped, and the surroundings returned to a calm, the girl slowly opened her eyes, and a smile as bright as a flower bloomed on her beautiful face, and her red lips opened slightly, revealing two rows of pearl-white jade teeth. Shui Ling's eyes flickered with brilliance, and he ran in the direction of Belen.

"Grandpa!" A sound as a silver bell. Sweet and moving.

Belen responded with a smile and hugged the girl tightly in his arms.

Feeling the girl's soft body and elegant fragrance, even though the old Belen had been fighting for half his life, at this time, he couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

"Elena, I haven't seen you for three years, but she's grown so big, and she's become a big girl." Belen stroked Serena's back and said with tears in her eyes.

"Grandpa, Elena misses you so much, and I dream that you can return soon." Elena said with tears in her eyes.

Since she was a child, she had no parents, and her grandfather became Elena's only relative, and the old Belen was fighting outside all the year round, and Elena's thoughts about her grandfather became a little stronger.

"Grandpa, I heard that you won a great victory, and His Majesty the Emperor gave you a knighthood, right?" Elena wiped her tears and asked, looking at Old Belen.

"Hehe, yes, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and martial, with clear rewards and punishments, and he also takes special care of our Haruman family, which is a blessing for our family.

In the past two years, I have been fighting abroad, and I don't know how many villains in the court want to plot against us behind our backs, but fortunately, Your Majesty Mingrui didn't listen to the villain's slander, so I was able to get out of it. Old Belen wiped away his tears and said with a smile.

"Grandpa, you're getting old, why don't you retire here? Now that the northern borders have been settled, the barbarians in the south have been subjugated, and the empire is free of external troubles, you should rest for a few years. Elena persuaded.

"Hehe, grandpa also wants to retreat, but if grandpa retires, who will replace grandpa in commanding the land and water armies? Although the empire has just pacified the border troubles, however, whether it is the Tartars in the north or the barbarians in the south, they are eyeing us, and they may resurrect at any time.

Although grandpa is also old, his body is still quite strong, and he can last a few more years, so you can rest assured.

It is rare for His Majesty the Emperor to respect me and trust me so much, of course I cannot live up to His Majesty the Emperor's trust in me, and I must be loyal to the Empire. Belen stroked his beard and said with a solemn gaze.

"But... Grandpa......"

"Elena, I know, you are worried about your grandfather, afraid that the tragedy of Asuka Bow will happen to your grandfather, but you must also know that as a soldier of the empire, when necessary, for the country, dedication and loyalty, it is also a helpless choice, grandpa has long been mentally prepared, die for the country, die well, if my death can allow Your Majesty to obtain a stable foundation, then I will die without regrets."

"Grandpa..."

"Hehe, life and death just came back, how unlucky, what's wrong with our grandparents? Come, say something happy. Belen laughed.

"Well, grandpa, in last week's magic test, I already passed the third-level magic test, and now I am a third-level quasi-magister." As soon as Elena said this, Belen @ Haruman couldn't help but be surprised.

Twelve-year-old, third-level magister?

What a terrifying cultivation speed, even in the entire empire, there is no second girl with such a genius, but it's a pity that Elena is a girl, if it's a boy, maybe the Haruman family will be carried forward in his hands.

Maybe it's because God is jealous of the talent, God is jealous of our Haruman family, so he will turn this genius's grandson into a granddaughter.

In the evening, after Belen had had dinner with his little granddaughter, a servant suddenly broke in.

"Sir, there is an adult who wants to see you."

"Didn't you say that? I won't see you today, and I'm going to spend time with my precious granddaughter. Belen said impatiently.

"However, this lord is the Empire's Minister of Finance, Lord Richelieu, and he said that he has something important to tell you." The servant continued.

As soon as he heard that he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Belen couldn't help frowning, although the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not a very prominent official, but, the power is quite large, and the taxes and financial expenditures of the entire empire are all in his hands, although in the position of Belen # Haruman is not lower than the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but, because the military spending still needs to be supported by him, so, Belen @ Haruman is not easy to blame him.

Seeing Belen's embarrassed face, the well-behaved and sensible Elena smiled slightly, rubbed Belen's shoulder and said, "Grandpa, you still have time to meet that adult, you will have time to accompany Elena in the future, right?" ”

Looking at the empathetic little granddaughter, Belen @ Haruman felt relieved, smiled and touched Elena's slender little hand, smiled and nodded, "Well, okay, Elena, you go first, grandpa will accompany you after accompanying the guests." ”

"Yes." Elena smiled sweetly and nodded, turning and exiting the hall.

Soon after, Richelieu entered the hall under the guidance of his servants.

"Lord Richelieu, I'm really sorry, I'm old, my legs are inconvenient, I didn't go out to greet you, please atone for my sins." Belen @Harruman smiled apologetically.

Richelieu stepped forward quickly, and quickly shook his head with a smile, "What did Lord Belen say, how can the lower officials afford it?" It should be the lower officials who came to visit the adults. ”

The two exchanged a few words and sat down together.

"Lord Belen, congratulations so much, this battle of the Far Eastern Prairie completely defeated the barbarian cavalry legion, so that the military prestige of our empire was greatly boosted, some barbarian tribes in the northwest, when they heard the name of the marshal, they were also frightened, and they didn't dare to offend, this is all the credit of the generalissimo." Richelieu greeted him with a smile.

"Lord Richelieu has won the award, this is all thanks to His Majesty the Emperor's blessing, we can win, and this is by no means the credit of me alone, if there is no timely logistics supply from Lord Richelieu, sufficient military support, I am afraid that my old man wants to win the battle, it is impossible, if you want me to say, Lord Richelieu is the first hero." Belen @Harruman laughed.

Richelieu was taken aback, and quickly shook his head, "Lord Belen, you are serious, and the lower officials are just doing their own things, how can you dare to compare with you, my lord?" Please don't say that again. ”

Belén @Haruman laughed, and in an instant, his eyes fell on Richelieu's face.

"Lord Richelieu, don't sell it, my Belén is a martial artist, rude and likes to go straight, if there is anything, please tell me clearly." Belen@Haruman said as he looked at Richelieu.

He naturally knew that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and this Richelieu came to find him, I am afraid that it was not for the sake of slapping the horse and sending a few innocuous words, he must have something to say, otherwise he would not have come so late.

"Hehe, Lord Belen is really good eyesight, in fact, Xia Guan really has something to explain to the adult this time." Richelieu laughed dryly, and said with a little smirk.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Belém @ Haruman opened his mind and looked at Richelieu and said without any restraint. (To be continued......)
