Chapter 51: The Duke's Son

When Lu Jingzhi was still hesitating, Duke Wensha made another unexpected move. He stretched out his palm like dead wood and stroked Lu Jingzhi's head. With the strength of his Great Undead, as long as he used a little force in his palm, he could crush Lu Jingzhi's Heavenly Spirit Cover. But he didn't do this, but said softly to Lu Jingzhi: "Magician, your talent is the only one I have seen in the past few hundred years, if you don't mind, I hope you can be my son." ”

This sentence shocked all the high-ranking knights present, including the newly promoted Lu Jingzhi. The undead were all born under the Soul Tower or bagpipes, without blood and marriage, and most of them were chosen by the lord to adopt a few young people with strength and talent as their adopted sons, and then they were tested and selected, and finally confirmed an heir, granted a symbol of power, or a scepter, or a crown, or a ring. After that, this heir becomes the new lord and has the highest power in the realm.

The important thing is that the Duke of Windsor does not have a righteous son now, because with his status as the Great Undead, it will not be a problem to live for a few hundred years. But in this way, Lu Jingzhi became his only heir, even if the duke accepted another son, Lu Jingzhi would be more qualified to inherit the duke's title and territory.

Lu Jingzhi was not entangled in whether to accept Duke Wensha's conditions, but how to prevent Tangtang from fighting with Afaron. First of all, he understood that it was imperative for the Duke of Windsor to take Sugar Candy away from him. In order to fool himself, he first threw Leviatan's whereabouts as bait, and he himself hurriedly bit the hook. At this time, the duke raised the issue of Tangtang's faction again, and he lost his first hand. In fact, even this is Lu Jingzhi's thoughts, even if he didn't bite the hook at that time, the duke would definitely take Tangtang away. Secondly, the heavy cavalry regiment and the heavy infantry regiment belonged to the Afalon regiment and would be the main force of operations against the Adolon army. If Sugar Candy is incorporated into Afaron's legion, a bitter battle is inevitable. It's okay to say if you win, but if you lose and become a rout, it will inevitably be a situation of death and life. Thinking of this, Lu Jing's heart was racing, and he suddenly had a plan.

"My lord, thanks to my love, I am willing to serve my lordship, inherit the surname Wensha, and be proud of this surname for the rest of my life. Lu Jingzhi said, knelt on one knee, touched his chest with one hand, and bowed to Duke Wensha. The duke accepted this worship, took off a copper ring from his dry finger, and put it on Lu Jingzhi's hand.

"Magician, my child, this ring is the symbol of the House of Windsor, and I want you to keep it, glorify it, and not let it be disgraced. The Duke of Windsor's voice softened.

"Yes, Father. Lu Jingzhi raised his head and looked at Duke Wensha's ugly face with admiration, and almost burst into tears, "I will keep it, glorify it, and never let it be ashamed." As he spoke, he polished the ring with his young little hands, letting it shine in the dim light of the fire.

Among the three great undead who were stunned by this scene, it was Gasso who reacted the fastest, and took the lead in raising a glass to congratulate Duke Windsor, congratulating him on accepting such a talented son. Subsequently, whether they were willing or not, Afalon and Sauer also congratulated one after another, which can be regarded as recognizing the identity of Lu Jingzhi, the son of the lord.

"My child, you haven't answered me yet, do you want that archery apprentice to go to battle under Afaron. "Duke Wensha knew that Lu Jingzhi agreed, otherwise he wouldn't worship himself as his father so readily. He was just pretending, after all, it was better for Lu Jingzhi to say it himself.

Lu Jingzhi nodded and promised, and said, "Everything I do belongs to my father, and everything is at the disposal of my father." Seeing that Duke Wensha was about to speak, he hurriedly preemptively said, "It's just that I have a little concern, I don't know if I want to say it." ”

"Don't you have to say anything, are you worried that Afaron will mistreat her?" said the Duke of Windsor, "and laughed out loud with humor.

Lu Jingzhi laughed dryly twice, and said: "This won't be, it's just that I think that since we have killed the opponent's Gomez in a covert raid, we can't help but prevent the enemy from attacking us in the same way." Leviatan and Sugar Candy—my sister, Leviatan's apprentice—are both masters at this, and it's hard to find out when hidden. I think it's a lot more reassuring to have them by your side, and it's necessary until the war is over. ”

When Duke Wensha heard Lu Jingzhi say this, he was suddenly shocked, since Lu Jingzhi could kill the opponent's high-ranking knights with some subordinates, then if the other party used the same method, or even dispatched one or two high-level knights to attack him, he was afraid that he would not be spared. This thought came to him all his life, and a sense of fear filled his mind like spring grass after rain. He even glared at old Gaso, such a simple and serious thing, even the wise man did not think of it?Or did he think of it, but for some reason did not tell himself?

"Okay. So, tomorrow...... No, from tonight onwards, you have her come to me as a guard, and then return to Afaron when the war is over. "Duke Wensha was very dissatisfied with the unclear sights of the three great undead under him, which pushed him from his subconscious to Lu Jingzhi's side.

"Father, please forgive me for being abrupt. I don't think a single escort is enough to keep you safe, so it's best to send Leviatan as well. "Lu Jingzhi is diligent and authentic.

Duke Wensha thought deeply and nodded: "You are right, no matter how vigilant the cat is, it will doze off, and two are better than one." Go and give orders, and let them come to me tonight. It's better to be on call, but people don't usually notice them at all. "This is very necessary, so as not to be discovered by the enemy and find another way to assassinate him.

Lu Jingzhi held back the joy in his heart, tried his best to make a calm appearance, and took the order. Let yourself give orders? It's a subtle signal. That is, until Leviatan and Sugar Candy left the Duke's side, they were still their own people.

Watching Lu Jingzhi walk out of the line and return to the camp to arrange the guards, Duke Wensha's temper finally broke out.

"Didn't you say he was cunning? Didn't you say he had bad intentions? Why didn't you think of anything he thought of? You are still a master of war! And you are a wise man. The cunning boy you call is the only one who cares about my safety. All you think about is how to win the war and make a meritorious deed!" Lord Windsor roared, the Iron Glove pointing from one High Knight's face to another's, and they were speechless.

Indeed, as the Duke said, the three great undead are mainly focused on how to win the battle, rather than how to protect the Duke's own safety. As wars are, the main purpose of the great army is to destroy the opponent, not to protect the commander. The three great undead couldn't help but have some opinions about the Duke, the witch doctor Gaso knew the personality of the Duke of Windsor and didn't argue anything; Ice Sword Sauer has always been calm, even if he has anything to say, he won't say more; only the art of war Afaron has a more rigid personality, and he can't help but say to the Duke of Windsor: "My lord, I think that kid is not only cunning, but also a sycophant." How to protect you is the duty of the guards around your camp, not what a magician should think, we should really focus more on how to win the battle. ”

If Duke Wensha was broad-minded enough, the words of the art of war Afalon were definitely a wake-up call for him, and he should have thought that Lu Jingzhi deliberately exaggerated his danger and had other intentions. It is a pity that this lord of Afaron was actually a narrow-minded fellow, and he did not listen to these words at all, but only angered him.

"So, you think that kid is wrong to take care of my safety, and you are right to be so so-so?!" Duke Wensha was angry, completely unconcerned about what to say and what not to say, "I would like to ask, what prejudice have you, and Gaso, always had about this kid? ”

Afaron was about to say something, but when he saw that old Gaso was glaring at him, he couldn't help but say no more, but snorted. Seeing that Afaron was silent, Gasol said to Duke Windsor, "My lord, I suggested that you use him so that he would be able to deal with Ados, and even the other rival lords around him. Later, I suggested that you control him through the corpse worms, so that he can also deal with you. Now we feel that he has a problem because he is already working on you. With that, old Gaso humbly stepped back half a step and waited for the duke's response.

The Duke of Windsor has always had great respect for old Gaso, not only for his age, but also for his wisdom. At this time, when he heard Gasso's, he immediately felt reasonable, and couldn't help asking, "Is he dealing with me?" What can he rely on?"

Gazo replied, "Your fear, my lord. ”

Duke Windsor laughed, "You mean I'm scared? I've been fighting the old bug of Ados for hundreds of years, how can I be afraid. ”

Old Gaso no longer argued, but replied lightly: "I hope so." ”

Seeing that the three great undead were no longer talking, and that there was nothing to say, the Duke of Windsor asked them all to prepare for tomorrow's battle. Although he still didn't have a good face for Afaron who dared to contradict him, he was no longer angry with him, and he recognized his previous explanation of himself.

Maybe Lu Jingzhi's kid is making a little fuss, maybe he is really a little selfish, maybe he is really a little flattering, but he arranges the matter of guarding for himself, which should be beneficial to himself. That kid should be as loyal to himself as these subordinates. What's more, if you believe that kid is dealing with you, you are admitting that you are afraid, which is simply impossible.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
