The other side.

In the afternoon, in a place in the misty forest, a tall and strong figure walked out of it.

This man was Arthur in a black robe. At this time, Arthur's skin has been completely replaced by a layer of tough keratin, and the exposed gray skin looks like a person with some kind of skin disease, which looks a little scary, but it is still much better than the bloody appearance of the previous day.

Out of the Misty Forest, Arthur discerned the direction and walked in the direction of the Misty Town. It was the closest human colony to the Misty Forest, the territory of the Leo family.

On the way, Arthur boarded a passing convoy and soon arrived in the misty town in the afternoon.

Arthur hurriedly found the captain of the town's escort, and under the captain's astonished gaze, the eldest son of the earl, who had recently disappeared near the misty town, took two horses and galloped out of the town. Even the captain's request to send his knights to escort him was rejected by Arthur because he was too troublesome and a waste of time.

"Fortunately, the eldest young master did not have an accident, and the earldom that has been chaotic recently should gradually calm down with the return of the young master, but I am afraid that the young master has encountered a lot of trouble. The captain of the knights thought to himself as he looked at Arthur's back as he had gone. He was trained by the Leo family since he was a child, and his feelings for the Leo family are very deep.

The two groups of horses changed, and Arthur did not stop on his way except for a little rest at night. At dusk on the fourth day, Arthur's destination, the heart of the Leo family, the city of Leo, named after the family name, finally came into view of Arthur.

Arthur rode into the city and went straight to the family castle. After recognizing Arthur's identity, the guards guarding the gate did not stop Arthur, who was running wildly through the streets, and sent knights to follow Arthur to deal with the dangers caused by horseback riding in the busy city.

The main body of the castle of the Leo family is not much different from the Lost Castle, but the area enclosed by a tall wall is tens of thousands of square meters, and the pools and forests inside can maintain a small ecological circle.

Arthur's presence caused chaos in the castle, and most of the servants rushed around to tell them about the situation, and some of the servants went to their masters with complicated expressions to inform them of the situation......

When he arrived at the castle, Arthur forced his heart to be quiet, ignoring the servants who followed him, and Arthur walked slowly in the direction of the inner fort. Maintaining the image and taking care of the family's face is secondary, and sorting out how to explain the situation to the father is the most important thing. Arthur is now twenty-eight years old, and has become a qualified heir to a noble earl.

"Arthur ......" a coquettish cry, and a beautiful blonde woman with beads in her eyes ran out of the inner castle and pounced on Arthur.

Arthur had never felt that his wife's familiar voice was so beautiful, and when he took the man into his arms, Arthur whispered in the blonde woman's ear, "I thought I would never see you again, Ruth." ”

"It's good to be back......" Ruth snuggled on Arthur's chest and disappeared for three whole months, the original Ruth was already desperate, and now she only felt that her heart was full of happiness that had been lost and regained.

"Ruth, I have important things to explain to my father. Arthur took Ruth's shoulders and straightened her body.

"Go ahead. Don't keep your father waiting. Ruth replied sensibly. Arthur nodded with satisfaction, with such a wife, what else is there to ask for?

Arthur walked to the hall of the Inner Fort, only to see several figures standing there, led by a familiar tall man with slightly haired hair, it was Arthur's father, the contemporary Count Leo, Arkon Leo.

Looking at the young figure coming from outside, the corners of Akon's eyes were slightly moist, although he had many sons, the only one who could make him satisfied and even proud was this eldest son, Arthur.

"You're back. Arkon whispered to Arthur as he stepped into the hall, his voice filled with suppressed emotion.

"Yes Father. Yakon stepped forward to his father, whose temples were a little gray, and actually knelt down on one knee and made a big salute, Yakon did not stop it, and watched silently, this is the relationship between their father and son.

"Come with me to the study. Arkon beckoned, and as he walked upstairs to his study, Arthur followed.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and a woman spoke: "The Earl's father and son are really like that......!" After Arkon left, everyone in the hall faintly took a woman as the leader, and that woman was Arkon's second wife, Shirley, after the death of Arthur's biological mother.

I saw her staring at the woman who spoke fiercely, and then her expression changed inexplicably, and finally took a bite after a long time, "It's good that the eldest young master is back...... Let's disperse for now. Shirley pointed to the two butler-looking people, "You are responsible for preparing the dinner, and you want the most sumptuous one." ”

"Yes, Countess. The two bowed in response.

In the study, Akon and Arthur and his son sat at opposite ends of the desk.

Arthur considered spitting out part of the situation to his father without activating the spirit control.

"What?wizard?!" Akon's eyes widened.

"Yes. Arthur smiled wryly.

"Are you sure?" Yakon asked in a deep voice. Arkon knew exactly how terrifying a wizard's abilities were.

"I've seen with my own eyes that he can condense fireballs out of thin air, and ...... And my life is already in his hands......" Arthur shook his head with a little bitterness.

Yakon closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes with a glint in his eyes: "Recently, someone from the Holy See of Light has appeared in the territory. ”

"Has the power of the Holy See of Light infiltrated us?" said Arthur with a serious frown.

"No!" Arkon shook his head, "the man is in the name of traveling and preaching doctrine, well, at least not on the surface. ”

"What do you mean?" Arthur guessed.

Akon nodded, "Isn't the Church of Light the most hated by wizards, we can use their hands, if we can, your life should be in your own hands, right?"

"But ......," Arthur remembered Anglet's appearance, his youthful appearance and incommensurate old words and deeds, and his mysterious ability...... He was a little weak-hearted.

Arkon reached out and patted Arthur on the shoulder, looked at the young man who was already much taller than himself, and comforted: "If the Holy See of Light can't deal with that wizard, then we will attach ourselves to that wizard in turn." ”

"The situation on the south coast is very chaotic now, the Ottoman army is in the bridgehead to the north, and war is on the verge of breaking out. I'm not optimistic about the Ottoman Empire, if that wizard does have the power to fight against the Holy See of Light, we can choose to rely on his power. If you break away from the Ottoman Empire, you can even take the opportunity to swallow some delicacies, become an independent state, and then join the Union of Southern Duchies. And I have news that several of the great nobles in the Ottoman Empire have actually confessed to wizards in private to fight against the Holy See of Light. ”

After listening to Arkon's words, Arthur couldn't help but admire his father's long-term vision. "Then do as you say!" Arthur decided.

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow and invite people from the Holy See to come to the castle in the name of admiring the Holy See of Light, and then we'll have the opportunity to reveal some information about wizards......" Arkon smiled slightly.

After the father and son finished their discussion, they went downstairs, and a dinner party was being held downstairs to celebrate Arthur's safe return.
