Clarence's face instantly regained his composure when he heard him ask, and he even said in a tone similar to a little jealousy: "It's not a big deal, I can do this." ”

Kane somehow wanted to rush up and slap his old face at this moment, of course, this matter can only be thought about, in fact, Kane said with a happy face: "So my life was saved?"

Clarence thought for a moment and let out a long sigh, "Sort of." ”

A few people were happy to hear him say that, but James said, "Then how do you reply to Victor? After all, you are his mentor." ”

Clarence smiled, "Since you all said I was his mentor, have you ever seen a mentor who needs to reply to a student?"

James was stunned, "Could it be that this relationship doesn't represent a kind of support?"

Clarence just smiled and didn't answer his question, but took out two badges and handed them to Kane like a trick, "Now, in the name of the Grand Elder of the Wizards' Guild, I officially grant you the High Magician Badge, and from today you will enjoy all the rights and obligations that a High Magician should enjoy, are you willing to accept this honor?"

Kane frowned, "Actually, I'm only an intermediate magician. ”

"Just say yes or no!"

Kane thought about it, and gradually understood Clarence's intentions, he probably did this in the name of the guild to ensure that he would not be hated by the king and the eldest prince after he returned, after all, he was a guild elder and could not kill the people of his guild, so the nature of the incident would completely change, so he took it solemnly with both hands, "I am willing!"

The corners of Clarence's mouth furrowed, "Now I grant you the High Swordsman Badge on his behalf as a close friend of Brad Burton, the president of the Swordsman Guild, and from now on you will fight for the peace and stability of the Empire, are you willing to accept it?"

Kane still took it with both hands, "I do!"

The few people next to him were a little dumbfounded, not understanding what this Clarence was going to do.

But seeing Clarence said with a serious face: "Now I order Kane Rayter, the senior magician of the Guild, as the Grand Elder of the Wizards Guild, to do his best to protect the personal safety of James Lawn, the second prince of the Longling Empire, and immediately escort him out of the empire until the order to return is issued, and convey the same order on my behalf as a close friend of the president of the Swordsman Guild!"

"What, leaving the Empire?" as soon as these words came out, the group was dumbfounded, and James immediately shouted.

Clarence was obviously not surprised by this questioning, and said calmly, "I know you want to go to Voss now, but you can't go there!"

"Why?" asked Leah, who was obviously concerned about the situation of her loved ones in addition to avoiding the disaster.

Clarence frowned for the first time, "Because a lot has happened in the days since you left, both in the Imperial Capital and in Voss, and the reason why you can't go to Vos is because it... It's fallen!"

"How could it be? When did this happen!" several people were naturally shocked when they heard this.

Clarence was a little frustrated, "On the third day of your departure, we received the news of General Brin's death, and along with his death, there was another news, on the fourth day of General Brin's plot, Voss City suffered an unprecedented and crazy attack, so that Voss City collapsed on all fronts, and the sergeants had to retreat to Merlin City in the rear!"

After speaking, he glanced at Liya with some sadness, "There is also unfortunate news that General Brin's son, General Leo, also died in this battle!"

"What!!" Leah exclaimed on the spot and passed out, and Kane next to her hurriedly held her up and called out a few times.

Clarence sighed, "Let her sleep for a while, when she wakes up, she will face many things that strong people can't face, the Gray family has given so much to the Empire!"

Kane nodded slightly, looking at Leah, who still maintained a sad face in a coma, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, this is not only the tragedy of the Gray family, but also the tragedy of the entire empire, Marquis Brynn's father and son have been guarding the west gate of the empire all year round, and now they have paid for their lives, but all the people of the empire who have a little conscience should pay them the highest respect and the deepest condolences.

However, how can such grief bear for a fragile teenage girl, and how can the dying old man in the imperial capital bear it, Kane stroked her face, and couldn't help but tears filled her eyes.

"How can this be!!!" James on the side shouted like crazy after hearing this, "The city of Voss has been impregnable during the lifetime of Marquis of Brynn, and even if he dies, his son will not be so poor, what is going on?"

Clarence still frowned, "You're right, although General Leo is not as good as General Brynn, but with his decades of war experience, it is impossible to be so vulnerable, but this time they are facing a different enemy, not only orcs, but also tens of thousands of dark creatures!"

"Victor!!" Kane's eyes lit up and he slammed his fist to the ground in anger.

Clarence didn't look surprised by his actions, "I know that you were attacked by dark creatures not long ago, and it is reasonable to assume that this matter does have something to do with the Great Prince, but I will say that he did not do it, and he does not have that ability. ”

Kane was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of another person, and that person was the ruler of this empire, William Lawn, if it was really him, then this matter would be countless times more serious than imagined!

"You mean..."

"I didn't say anything. Clarence glanced at Kane and interrupted him, "With your current strength and status, you should understand that the more you know, the less good it will be. ”

"Why did he do that?" asked Kane, who thought for a moment.

Clarence seemed to wonder whether he should answer his question or not, and after a while he said, "I don't know, but I think he was probably for what everyone in this world dreams of." ”

"I don't understand, I thought he already had that thing!" Kane thought of fame and fortune.

Clarence smiled, "He didn't, and he can't have, and because of that, the lives of Victor and James are even more important!

"Where?" James said with a dejected face, Kane didn't know what he could hear from the conversation just now, but according to Kane's understanding, James was not stupid, not only not stupid, but also very smart, what he lacked was the same as Kane, just experience.

Clarence said solemnly: "I can't give you advice, you can't tell me, only you know where you are going, and I want you to remember that, only then can you be a little safer." ”

"And what about my grandfather, they're probably on their way to Voss City right now. Kane said worriedly.

Clarence put his hands behind his back, " You don't need to worry about this, they already know the news, I think your grandfather will know how to settle his family, and I will also tell him your news when I go back, after all, in our opinion, you are more worth worrying about than him, and this is exactly what I want to say, from today's conversation, I think you can understand a lot, maybe in the eyes of some people, your life is even more important than the entire empire, so I hope you can be kind to yourself and don't put yourself in danger, although you have now become a member of the two major guilds, but in the current situation, we cannot provide a guarantee for your safety。 ”

"I see. Kane frowned and nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Do it yourself. Clarence gave a few complicated glances, then turned and walked away.

James sat down dejectedly, and no one in the group spoke, and after a long time, Shirley next to him said, "Then what do we do now?"

James was still in a daze, "You decide." ”

Seeing that they didn't speak, Shirley thought for a moment and said, "I have traveled a lot in my early years, and even gained friendship in the remote Black Forest, and I thought maybe we could go there and hide first. ”

Kane shook his head, "No, let's keep going, to the west of Vos!"

"Why?" asked in unison, the west side of Vos, which is now probably the stronghold of the dark creatures.

Kane looked at them, "There's an old proverb I think you've all heard that the best way to hide something is to put it in the most prominent place. ”

James suddenly gritted his teeth and stood up, "Shit! Are you going to put us in great danger just to prove that you don't know which idiot said it! Don't think that you can do anything wrong now that you get the weight of some people, I am the prince of the empire, and you may have been just a self-righteous fool from beginning to end!"

"Huh?" several people were stunned, obviously not expecting him to say such a thing, and without saying a word, Sara raised his greatsword, "You should know what the consequences of slandering his master in front of a follower, so I suggest you retract what you just said, even if you are a prince of the Empire." ”

"Don't!" Kane hurriedly stopped the salad who wanted to rush up, frowned and said to James: "I know what has happened these days is difficult for you to accept, but it's not our fault, if it's wrong, it's the person who is likely to have a huge relationship with you, to put it bluntly, we were all implicated by you to get to the point where we are now, if you still want to vent your stupidity by giving up on yourself, I may reconsider our relationship!"

James's breath gradually evened out, and he suddenly laughed, and then punched a big tree next to him, frowning and not speaking.
