Chapter 155: The Prologue Has Begun
"Yes, no one would have thought that you would be so surprised that you would be in such a position of power!"
Benny lowered his eyes and stared at the light water in the white tea bowl, reflecting an illusory and blurry face, and the memories he once wanted to forget came back to his mind.
Destiny is fair, giving everyone the right to choose!
And fate is ruthless, the path it gives is always different, some people take the right way out, one step to the sky; Some people are lost and stuck in the same place.
"Strength is the foundation of everything, and I have been trapped in the Great Magician for all these years, and I have never even seen the dawn of the peak realm, maybe this is my punishment at the beginning."
Although the forest elf blood gave Benny a long life, he could still perceive the signs of aging left by time in the rush of time.
Looking up at Modrian in front of him again, his green eyes showed a look of envy, whether it was his own strength that made him feel palpitations, or the existence of many knights under his command, shocking many forces in the north of the kingdom.
"The banquet at Harriman Castle is not so peaceful." Benny retracted the color of his memory, returned to his usual smile, and whispered.
"Is there a conspiracy?" Modrian was not surprised, as soon as he entered the city of Edalas, he felt a hidden dark tide surging, and the attack of the Temple of Power was like opening a lock, triggering many chain reactions.
What's more, he was well prepared to come out this time, Bobby and Gulagas were his support, and he could cope with any sudden situation, and he didn't believe that the Harriman family would ignore the accident that happened at the banquet, which was about the pride and glory of the family for hundreds of years.
"I got some news, it seems that there are quite a few aristocratic forces who want to huddle together in this sweeping storm for greater gains?"
"That's true!" Benny glanced at Modrian in surprise, as if surprised by what he had learned, nodded and continued. "However, there are some nobles who want to exclude you."
"The group of nobles who are jealous of your territory and status already have a deep fear." Benny made no secret of his thoughts, and his cold laughter was also marked with mockery and disdain.
"Your age, your strength is so amazing, success makes many people unable to sit still."
"Coupled with the development of the Valoran Territory, they are afraid of the birth of another top power, which will affect their own and their family's inherent interests in the northern part of the kingdom."
Modrian shrugged his shoulders and asked with a smile, "So?" What are they going to do? ”
"They want to isolate you in the north of the kingdom, but the power they fear of you has has not yet been decided." Benny picked up the cooled tea and drank it down, and the sudden rude made him feel indescribably comfortable.
The hypocritical aristocratic communication is not only hated by Modrian, in fact, over the years, he is also a little disgusted with the current situation, and begins to miss the good memories that he once left in the forest of Sridan.
"In addition, this gathering of nobles of the Harriman family has also attracted a lot of nobles from the royal capital, you have to pay attention."
"Although you have a good strength now, some forces that have existed for hundreds or thousands of years are not as weak as you see."
Benny's words are correct, and Modrian understands what he means, some young nobles and young masters are always blind to some famous heroes.
However, thinking about his current Valoran collar, Modrian was also a little more confident and heroic, slowly exhaled, and said softly: "Thank you Uncle Benny for your doubts, I will remember it." ”
"Little one, with my current status, I can't help you much, your choice is also very right, and befriending the Harriman family will make you face a lot less pressure." Benny straightened up slightly, and a faint green energy spilled around him, forming an enchantment.
"But the aristocracy is always centered on interests, and when you can't bring enough benefits to him, you should consider your position."
"Alright, Dodd's supper is almost ready, I see that your followers are already trying to escape from here, so you might as well stay and enjoy it together." Benny looked at the sleepy Bobby and smiled.
"Okay, then trouble Uncle Benny." Modri stroked Poppy's grey ponytail and nodded slightly.
He didn't expect that this interest-driven visit would be such a long conversation, but fortunately, it gave him a general idea of the current situation.
The mood for supper was harmonious, and Modrian and Uncle Benny talked about other topics, such as economic development and learning about Sridan Forest, but of course, they tacitly avoided talking about the Perris family.
A half-crescent moon hung in the dark night, and the watery moonlight melted into a faint mist, obscuring the city of Edalas.
"Thank you Uncle Benny for your hospitality, and if you have the chance, welcome to Fort Digvo." Modrian stood at the gate of the manor, and Bobby, who had eaten and drunk, looked around with great energy.
"It's an honor." Benny agreed gently, with a smile on his handsome and gentle face.
"Then I'll go back first." Modrian nodded slightly to Steward Dodd, then walked away.
The cold moonlight shone on Benny's face, a hint of struggle and hesitation appeared in his green eyes, and his sparse and soft beard trembled slightly.
"I still can't get over the hurdle in my heart, the past, the past, I don't want it!" A soft murmur echoed as Benny looked at Modrian's departing back, a gloom creeping up his face.
Eventually, the only remaining elven pride in his heart prevented him from uttering the words of supplication, and he sighed and said, "Dodd, do you think it would be good or bad if we put Modri in that thing?" ”
The silence froze the night air, and Dodd stood behind him, his head bowed, a touch of sadness on his invisible face, he missed the scenery of his hometown in the forest of Sridan.
"Lord Benny, in fact, we have never forgotten that memory, but we rely on ourselves alone, and hope is almost impossible." Dodd recounted the facts slowly, pale but hopeless.
"Wasn't that what you used to be with Master Brooke? It's a pity that the Jeffrey family meddled and things went forever. ”
"Now there is hope for a resurgence, and if we don't catch it, we will lose ......... completely"
"Hope, supplication, hesitation!?" Benny whispered to himself, determination in his green eyes, the time had not yet come, and he had to continue to wait.
"A group of us who have been abandoned by fate no longer care about anything, all we want is inner peace and the ultimate destination of our souls."
