"Alan, shall we make a bet?"

When the ceremony of the wedding was almost underway, Herbert walked up to Alan and said.

"Why?"

Alan asked calmly, seemingly unsurprised by Herbert's sudden idea.

"There will be a break between you and Ogu after all, and instead of letting the soldiers fight, it is better for the two of us to put an end to it. Of course, Alan, you can also choose to turn around and leave, and I will never stop you. ”

"Bet on what?"

Alan asked bluntly.

"If you win, the Ogu family will withdraw from the city-state, and you will take over the affairs of the Godsa. If I win, you quit the Ogu family, and I can't fight the idea of the Ogu family again in my lifetime. ”

"Is that what Hollanster meant, or do you mean?"

Alan needs to confirm that this is not Herbert's wishful thinking.

"I meant it, and I meant it, and he fully supported me in this matter. ”

As Herbert spoke, he turned his head to look at Holland, who was not far away.

"What Archmage means is what I mean. ”

Seeing Herbert and Allen looking at him, Hollanster immediately took the initiative to express his attitude.

"In that case, I'll play with the archmage, I don't know how the archmage wants to gamble?"

Alan asked.

"The rest of you go out, and I'm going to say a few words to Alan alone. ”

Herbert turned to the people on Hollander's side.

"Everybody out!"

Almost without any hesitation, Holland happily agreed, and then gave his own people a look, and everyone followed out of the tent with understanding.

"Go out too. ”

Alan said to his own people behind him.

"Brother Allen, this is a conspiracy, don't fall for them, I'll accompany you. ”

Miranda was the first to jump out and say no, she didn't believe it would be a fair bet.

"If you can solve all the problems with one gamble, of course, it is the best chance, and the cost is the least. And even if there is a conspiracy, you can't help if you stay. ”

Alan said. The reason why he is so confident is because it was Herbert who proposed the bet, Herbert is a magician, so the way to bet must be magic, and in the field of magic, Herbert is undoubtedly nothing compared to himself.

"I'm enough for one person here. El, Stanny, you leave with Miranda. ”

Alan commanded.

"Alan is right, gambling may be the best way to solve the current problem, not to mention that Alan is betting against another magician, although it is a great magician. ”

It was Elvis who spoke, and no one knew Allen's current magic strength better than him, let alone Herbert alone, even if Emaar was here, the two of them were helpless against Allen.

Miranda wanted to struggle, but when she saw that Hollander's people had all been evacuated, and Herbert was the only one standing in the tent, she had to give up. A cold wind blew, and the old magician's white hair fluttered in the wind, giving people an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"Brother Allen, be careful. ”

Miranda bit her lip and finally withdrew under Stanny's tugging, leaving only Alan and Herbert in the tent relatively speechless.

"The Agu family is already in decline, and there is no need for the archmage to wade into this troubled water. ”

Alan broke the silence first.

"Alan, you don't know the relationship between the Herbert family and the Agu family, I once swore in front of my father to protect the Agu family, not to mention that Hollanster has always been my friend, although he has a suspicious and fickle personality, but we have been together for more than forty years, he has never doubted me. So, people all over the world can betray him, but I can't. ”

Herbert's gray eyes glowed with nostalgia, as if recalling a bygone time.

"What Hollanster has done has completely lost the hearts of the people, and the prestige of the Agu family is no longer there, so why should the archmage be stubborn about it. As one of the few powerhouses on the continent, if the archmage joins our side, the great cause of the Godsa people's revival will definitely be strengthened. ”

Knowing that the odds were slim, Alan wanted to convince the old mage to join him.

"Alan, people always have to protect something in this life, the small one guards one person, and the big one guards a family. Especially as a strong man on this continent, what we have to protect is the power of one side, the paladin Heywood Roland shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the Holy See, the dragon knight Graces guards Higg, including your teacher Fama Ux, who is also guarding Yous, and I am guarding the Agu family. Alan, one day you will find yourself like us, guarding something, and it will hardly be at your will. ”

Herbert was not only not moved by Allen's words, but said something he couldn't easily do.

"So what kind of gamble is the Archmage going to use to protect the Ogu family today?"

Herbert's answer was not unexpected by Allen, but he still sighed, regretting that he could not have the help of a kind, wise, and powerful elder.

"You know, this old man of mine has no skills in his life, only a little magic, especially water magic. ”

"If the archmage is just trying to deal with me with water magic, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. ”

"Allen, I know you're good at four-system magic, but you're not as strong as me in terms of water magic, especially when you're here today. ”

A cold wind blew, and the old magician's white hair fluttered in the wind, giving people an indescribable sense of vicissitudes.

"Really?"

Alan looked up at the sky, and thick clouds had gathered over the castle of Ogu.

"Just try it. ”

A mysterious smile appeared on Herbert's face, with a slight smug in it. He stretched out his arms and began to chant a magic incantation.

Allen's face became solemn, he stretched out his hand to feel the water element tumbling in the air, the smell of humidity became stronger and heavier, and it seemed that it could rain in the air at any time.

The magic spell was not long, just chanting a few words and then stopping abruptly, which made Alan a little confused, because he clearly felt that this was not a complete magic spell, more like the kind of spell that triggered the magic array, but Herbert did not have a magic circle in his hands.

"Huh!"

Just when Alan was a little strange, a strange change suddenly appeared around him. A large amount of water vapor rushed towards the ground, and then a blue curtain of water rose from the ground, enveloping Alan and Herbert.

"Alan, I'll give you an hour, if I can break through this water cover, even if I lose. Otherwise I win. ”

Herbert's voice seemed to come from far away, and the reflections through the layers of the water cover became unusually loud and full of momentum.
