Chapter 244: Grown Up
"What?"
Steven's words stunned Allen.
"You didn't even want your life to save Mr. and Mrs. Ben. ”
"You know everything?"
Alan smiled bitterly, hearing Steven's question, he immediately understood that the process of rescuing the Benn couple that he had concealed before had been known to Steven.
"You think you can hide it from us forever? There are no impermeable walls, and Quake sent one of his men to Triumph City, and he sent back all the news he had found. ”
Steven's tone was full of grievances.
"You're right. I was risking my life to save Ben from the execution ground, but all because Ben was sentenced to death because of me, and I couldn't stay out of it. ”
Alan had to explain.
"Brother-in-law, I understand all the reasons you said. But can you discuss with me when you make such an important decision, if we had cooperated with you at that time, maybe you would not have fallen into the hands of the Holy See. ”
"I caused this incident completely on my own, and I shouldn't have implicated you, you are all so young and still children. ”
"Brother-in-law, I don't agree with you, we are not small, we have the ability to take responsibility for our actions, and you must know that your life belongs not only to yourself, but also to us. ”
"Brother-in-law only has a few of your relatives in this world, and it is not a pity for my brother-in-law to die alone, but you should have your own good life. ”
Alan sighed and said.
"Since my brother-in-law knows that there are only a few relatives in this world, he should also understand that I only have one relative in this world. When my sister died, there were two wishes, one was to avenge her, and now the revenge has been basically completed, but the other is to take care of us, if you die, we are left in this world, what should we do? Even if Stanny and Miranda have become strong in their respective fields and have the ability to protect themselves, but where am I? You don't really think that I can sit back and relax if I leave a large amount of family property, right? Benn is a living example, as the viscount of the Higg Empire and the beloved son-in-law of the Minister of War, he is considered rich and powerful, but what is the result? Life and death are not up to others. ”
The meaning of Steven's words was emotional, but his tone was very pitiful, and his eyes turned red as he spoke, and his tone choked up.
"This matter is wrong with my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law must discuss with you first before making a decision when he encounters something in the future. ”
Steven's sad look made Alan realize that there was something wrong with what he had done before.
"Brother-in-law, you have to talk the talk. ”
Steven stood up and looked at Alan with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law is what he says. Go back and rest early. ”
Looking at Steven, who was already about the same height as himself in front of him, Alan realized for the first time that the child had gradually grown up, and he was no longer satisfied with all the ways in which adults made decisions for him.
After Steven left, Alan sat in the study for a while, he was going to see Holland at Castle Ogu tomorrow, so he had to think about how to communicate with him in advance, after all, Holland had been rejected by himself several times before, and the situation at that time was still asking for him, and now he no longer needs his help, but suddenly changed his mind, will Holland believe himself? What should he say to keep him from suspicious? However, he sat until it was slightly dark, and Alan did not think of a seamless reason, perhaps he could only tell the truth: Ben's words before his death made him realize that if the Holy See is not removed, the people of the world will not be at peace for a day.
Taking advantage of this time before breakfast, Alan hastily slept for a while, and before he could finish breakfast, a servant came in outside the door to say:
"Someone from Ogu Villa, please ask Lord Kanter to meet Lord Ogu. ”
Allen, who heard the news, couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. It seems that there has always been the eyeliner of the Ogu family in the vicinity of his home, otherwise he would not have been able to grasp the information so quickly if he arrived home after dark yesterday. But that's fine, you don't have to take the initiative to ask for a meeting.
Alan asked the servant to go and ask the messenger to rest for a while, he changed into a formal magician's robe that Isha had sewn for him herself, and put on a magician's hat, he originally wanted to take a wand, but he had not used a wand before, he used it once when rescuing Ben, but the wand was lost at that time, and the only magic wand he had with him at present was made of extremely ordinary materials, and it was better not to bring it.
"It seems that the next time you go to the Elven Forest, you must ask Cronis to pick out a few good wand materials for herself. ”
Eren thought depressedly as he left empty-handed with the attendants of the Ogu family.
Following behind the attendants, looking at the sun-drenched castle on the top of the hill not far away, Allen's mind produced a trance feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Before I knew it, it had been almost three years since I first visited Castle Agu with Steven, and so much had happened in the past three years, not only did I work for revenge, but I also gained money and prestige in this land, and I met friends including Kevin and Bloom, of course, he also met politicians such as Hollanster and Reinhardt, and even had a grudge against Quentin, the sheriff, and Gerald, the agent of the Hepburn family. Originally, in his original plan, after the revenge was completed, he was going to leave Aogucheng and return to Yuewan Village to spend the second half of his peaceful life, but he didn't expect to come back again, but this time he came back with a completely different mentality, he would no longer be just a hurried passerby, and he wanted to use this place as a starting point to completely change the fate of mankind. Of course, this is just my own beautiful imagination, and whether it can be realized depends on my next performance.
"Master Kanter, the castle has arrived. ”
Just as Eren was distracted, the attendant spoke, and it turned out that they had passed through the second gate of the villa and came to the castle.
Alan jumped off his horse and handed the reins to a servant, and then followed the attendant to the gate of the castle, where a butler was already waiting.
"Welcome Master Kanter, Lord Ogu is already waiting in the living room. ”
The butler enthusiastically led Alan into the living room, where he met Hollanster and Herbert, who were already waiting there.
"Alan, congratulations on your successful return of revenge, you don't know, I've been worried about you every day for half a year. ”
"Lord Lao is worried, and Alan is not very afraid. ”
Horanster was still the same, with a hearty laugh, his tall voice and shadow came up and hugged Eren in a few steps, he used a lot of force, almost didn't knock Alan's neatly worn magician hat crooked, it was really like an old friend who had been reunited for a long time and worried about him.
"Alan, it's the first time I've seen you dressed like a magician in the past few years. ”
Herbert stroked his beard and looked Alan up and down.
"I haven't seen you for many days, and the archmage's body is still as tough as it was at the beginning. ”
After greeting Holancest, Alan smiled and saluted Herbert again.
"No, it's old!
Herbert shook his head and smiled.
