Margaret sat on the bench and looked sadly at the end of the hallway, feeling like the sky had fallen since she knew that Mason Wyman had died in battle—Old Mentor Hoffman had many apprentices, but most of them had died on the northern defenses, and some had even taken refuge in Chaos.

Mason Wyman was originally the successor of the old Hoffman, he was the new vessel, and Margaret was really shocked when she heard about the mission of Colin's secret keeper sect, but fortunately Colin didn't have to inherit anything.

But when the news of Masson's death came, Margaret sensed a change in Colin.

He doesn't like to laugh anymore, and he doesn't tell jokes to her, or to others.

She could often see Colin in the corridor, and he always looked at Masson's portrait of the gloomy man as if he were magical, as if he were trying to snatch him from her.

Without Mason Wyman, old Hoffman has lost his successor, and the last time Margaret heard Anna's mother say that the Secret Keeper Sect is responsible for the seal, and each generation of the Secret Keeper must not marry a wife, have no children, and live alone, just like the old Hoffman's mentor, bring up a group of qualified apprentices, until one of them is selected to continue the seal.

Colin wasn't the timid kind of person, Margaret grew up with him and knew that her lover was a fearless man, and in such moments, he would definitely step up.

Margaret bowed her head, because she knew that she could not do anything, and Colin would definitely choose to replace Mason Wyman as the new keeper of secrets.

Because he is the last qualified.

Marin? Marlin was not qualified at all, and in any case, Margaret could not afford to make the sacrifice of her sister's lover just to fulfill one of her dreams.

Not only her, but Colin would not agree, Anna's mother liked him very much, saying that he had infinite possibilities, and no matter who it was, he would not be allowed to be a keeper of secrets.

A container from which nothing can be recovered is not the path that a child like him should take.

Can...... Is Colin okay?

Can he sacrifice himself, sacrifice her love for him?

Margaret hugged her face.

She tugged at her hair, and gradually, she looked up, and when she looked at the end of the hallway, she already had a determination in her heart.

Don't weep, Margaret, tears are the poison of cowards.

I will not betray you, Colin...... Even if the world betrays you, I won't.

I will be your shield, your sword, your harbor, your salvation.

………………

"Teleportation Circle...... I want to vomit......" Matilda, the big-eared fox, followed Marin out of the teleportation circle and ran to the side with her mouth covered.

"Then come back when you're well, I'll go back to church first." Marin had no choice but to abandon her, came to Faye, and left the circle area with her.

Early this morning, Marin returned to Fort Carter via the teleportation circle - since Faye told him that she hadn't heard from his sister for two days, he had not had time to gather the girls, so he returned with Faye and Matilda.

This touched Faye because Marin was willing to take a risk for her.

Walking out of the square, Marin called a carriage, and the coachman knew Marin and said that he didn't want to charge anything, but in the end Marin still dropped the money: "Tell your children to work hard." ”

Then, amid the coachman's thanks, Marin led Faye into the door of the church that the church guards pushed open.

As soon as he entered, Marin looked at the apprentice in charge of reception: "Where is Colin?" ”

"In the inner hall, they're in a meeting, Marin! Don't go there! You can't get in! The apprentice said this, and Marin came to the entrance of the inner hall and looked at the two guards standing in front of the door: "Aren't you going to give way?" ”

"Your Excellency Hoffman said that you must be stopped."

Marin sighed, walked to the entrance of the corridor, kicked the door away, and then grabbed Faye's hand tightly: "It's okay for me to walk in, if you go in, you may see some of the past you don't want to see, and maybe there will be danger." ”

"I'm not afraid of you, and there's still my sister on the other side, and I have to see her." Faye nodded, then followed Marin into the corridor.

In the first step, Faye heard the crying and sat on a bench in the hallway, his young self crying because of the pain in his body.

Faye ignored her, and took another step.

Someone was waiting for him in front, the daughter of the Morvis family admonished herself.

In the second step, Faye noticed the palace in front of him, which was the main hall of the palace of the royal capital, where his young self was standing, accepting the ...... of the nobles Covet.

It was a nasty moment, Faye thought, but she took a step anyway, because she knew that someone was waiting for him in front of her.

In the third step, the palace was turned into a church school, and Faye stood there, helpless, for in the eyes of the people of Carterburg she was a northerner or a mulatto.

Southerners don't like half-breeds, especially if they have a hint of elven blood.

In the Middle Ages, humans and elves fought many times, and the relationship between the two sides can definitely not be described as friendly.

Even now, that's true.

Faye looked at her helpless self and wanted to stay and comfort her, but for some reason, she kept going.

Why, why not stay and help yourself.

A voice asked himself in Faye's head.

Because, because someone is leading you in front.

Taking another step, Faye was suddenly shocked, and found that he had already walked out of the corridor, and Marin in front of him had a nervous and worried expression on his face, Faye smiled and stretched out his hand to hug Marin, and then kissed him lightly on the face: "I came back from my dream." ”

“…… Welcome back, let's go. ”

"Hmm."

Quickened his pace, Marin was leading himself in front of him, and Faye was trying to keep up behind, although he was a little out of breath, but now Faye was no longer the sick body of a few years ago, with Marin, the food made of acorn powder was more effective than those potions.

Rush through the garden, bypass the statues, and finally stop in front of the hallway.

"Sister." Faye looked at Margaret in front of her, and she didn't dare to recognize her, because this white-haired woman didn't look like her sister.

"You, why are you here?" She looked up, a little surprised.

"I haven't heard from you in two days, sister, your hair is ......" "You guys chat, I'll go over and take a look."

Marin finished speaking and walked to the end of the hallway.

Faye, who was standing in place, watched him come to the end, watched him knock on the door, and then walked into the open door: "Sister, you are white-headed." ”

"Ah...... Really, it's weird, I just thought about something......"

Listening to her sister's whispering, Faye walked up to her and squatted down to look at her: "Sister, has Colin said what to do?" ”

“…… He's in there, and he hasn't been out for a long time. Sister Margaret said this with a smile on her face.

This made Faye even more sad, and she reached out to grab Margaret's sister's hand: "Don't worry, Marin will figure it out, everyone says he has wisdom, my sister, don't think too much." ”

"No, I didn't think too much about it, I just swore it...... I'm not going to leave Colin. ”

"No one can let you leave him, I swear, not even if our enemy is my mother or Manli's mother!" At this moment, Faye grabbed his sister's hand tightly, as if he wanted to crush something: "I left the royal capital because I didn't want to be the so-called prey, and now I have what I want, so naturally I want to help my sister fulfill your wish, don't worry, sister, even if you and Colin want to escape, Marin and I will definitely take you away." ”

"Colin won't go, and neither will I, but no one can separate us." After speaking, Margaret stretched out her hand and patted Faye, who had already grasped her little hand palely: "Colin and I have been together since we were children, and we have experienced wind and rain...... He doesn't want to chase me away, I won't leave him, just like you won't leave Marin. ”

Faye nodded, her sister didn't say that she wouldn't leave Colin, just like she wouldn't leave Marin: "Okay, let's wait for Marin, he will definitely think of a way." ”

Her sister nodded, "I believe it...... But instead of believing in Marin, I just feel that fate has made me and Colin not to separate us one day. ”

………………

Marin walked into the room and looked at the smoke-filled people sitting in the room, "I always thought that when I pushed the door open, you would be arguing about how to solve this matter. ”

Speaking of which, Marin looked at Ferrero, the empty nest elf smoking a cigar: "Mentor Ferrero, what do you think?" ”

"What else can I think, I can only tell them that Colin is the only qualified person at the moment, and your old Hoffman mentor will only live for six months at most, and in six months' time, I will not be able to find another qualified person."

"So can anyone explain to me what the hell this damn fit is?" Marin looked at old Hoffman: "Also, old man, you can only live for another half a year, so don't smoke." ”

"Stinky boy wants you to take care of it! You're not my mother! My mom was cremated early I don't know how long! Old Hoffman took a few puffs of his cigarette, and then the bad old man began to cry.

Marin saw this old man crying for the first time, thought about it, and finally took out Marson's skull: "I gave Marsen a pleasure with my own hands, I originally wanted to find someone to send it back to you, and I won't bother others when I come over today...... Come, this apprentice of yours, this senior brother of mine would rather be killed by himself than complete the aberration and depravity, he is a good fellow. ”

When the old thing hugged Masson's skull, Marlin took out the other two skulls: "These are the two murderers who forced Masson to death, one was killed by me on the front line, and the other came to kill me but was killed by me." ”

After saying that, Marin threw them to old Ferrero: "Now, you come and explain it to me. ”
