A sigh attracted the attention of everyone in the back garden, and Xia was even more startled and looked in a certain direction. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the end of a path in the garden, an old man with gray hair appeared there, and it was from the old man's mouth that the sigh came out.

This person...?!

Xia was extremely surprised in her heart, you must know that in her spiritual perception, even the existence of those palace guards just now did not escape her attention, but the old man in front of her was completely unexposed to her consciousness, even if he had clearly appeared in front of her, and his figure was visible at a glance, but in her spiritual perception, she couldn't grasp the slightest breath of him at all, as if he didn't exist here in the first place!

No one knew when the old man appeared in the garden, and no one saw how he had come, as if one second it was empty, but the next second, he appeared there so suddenly, giving people the feeling that it should have been.

Almost at the moment when he heard this sigh, Xia only felt that his hair was cold, and when he turned his head to look, an extremely terrifying feeling suddenly hit his heart, just like a mouse seeing a cat's natural enemy, he felt that his scalp was going to explode.

Legend!

This gray-haired old man is definitely an existence above the legendary level!

Although the other party restrained the momentum on his body, the feeling he brought to her was even more terrifying than that of a certain blonde demon!

......Shh Shouldn't you want to use your fists just because you can't talk about yourself on the mouth cannon?!

Xia's right hand under the mist cloak clenched almost instantly, his whole body tensed, and some kind of power in his body was ready to be unleashed.

If you can't play, others will flip the table, who will play with you after it meows?!

Her eyes were fixed on the old man, and she was extremely vigilant in her heart, if the situation was not good, she would immediately activate her battle spirit technique, 'Outer Cultivation Armor'.

However, the first words of the old man's mouth immediately dispelled her defenses---

"Promise her, Olivia. Because, what she said was right. ”

The old man walked towards them step by step, and his figure looked a little awkward, as if he was just an ordinary old man strolling along, and even his steps were a little slow and weak. It's just that Xia Ke will not be deceived by the other party's appearance, because, from the old man's dark and deep clear eyes, she can completely feel the horror of the other party hidden under the deep sea.

"Alexie, who is he?"

Natsu asks a magical girl about it through a psychic connection, but gets no answer.

She turned her head to look, but found that the little girl was also looking at the old man with a shocked expression, as if she hadn't heard what she had just said.

However, her doubts were soon answered in the case of a certain princess, for Olivia Field spoke, and hurriedly stepped forward in the direction of the old man to greet her, with a very respectful expression, and bowed deeply.

"Grandfather!"

Xia could hear that this greeting from Her Majesty, a noble princess, was completely out of admiration and respect from the bottom of her heart, and there was no faking in the slightest.

Grandfather?

This old man is also a member of the field royal family? is the elder of this royal daughter? grandfather... Or is it the elder of which generation?

Xia had some guesses in her heart, because, in a different world, she could no longer easily judge the identity of the old man with this similar title.

Eh...... Does this count as bullying the younger ones and attracting the old ones?

She was a little apprehensive in her heart, you know, her fist didn't seem to be as big as this old man's fist, who knew if this thing was unreasonable?

What made her feel a little reassuring was that the old man's first sentence agreed with her point of view.

With Olivia Field's hands on his side, the old man sat down on the chair where Her Majesty had been sitting before, and his movements trembled so that the uninformed could not help but feel a little worried about him, for fear that one of them would accidentally fall to the ground if he did not sit still.

"Hey, people are getting old......"

After sitting firmly, the old man sighed with emotion, as if he was sighing for the ruthless passing of time, but Xia Zai despised him fiercely in his heart: "Tsk, what about cheating on the puppy? If you are really so powerless that you even need someone to help you walk, why didn't you appear there just now, sister? It scared me a lot, okay? I don't think I would ignore such a big living person as you because of a moment of dazzle or paralysis......

"Olivia, your vision is indeed inferior to your father's, although your father has no outstanding talent, but his vision has always been very accurate, and he will not be carried away by the little interests in front of him......"

The old man spoke, and patted Olivia Field's hand lovingly, as if he was a little reproachful, but at this point he glanced at Duke Vlamir, who was standing there but sweating profusely, and his tone was a little unkind.

"I ......"

The old man's glance made the duke's whole body tremble, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to defend himself, but he still couldn't say a word.

The old man did not pay attention to the Duke's reaction, but continued to say to Olivia Field: "Choosing the 'Hand of the Witch' instead of cooperating with the Church, I have to say, this is a very correct and wise choice made by your father, Olivia. The foundation of our kingdom of Chirod lies in the people, in the support of the people, if such an incomparably precious and important treasure is given to others, I am afraid, the consequences of the kingdom of Chirod will be as this young man said, the people's will gradually lose, the prestige will gradually weaken, and finally it is not far from destruction......"

"Yes, it was me who was wrong, grandfather. ”

Hearing this, Her Majesty the princess nodded very obediently, agreed with the old man's words, and took the initiative to admit her mistake.

"It's not all your fault, Olivia, I know you're thinking about the future of the Kingdom of Chirod......"

Seeing the attitude of this princess to admit her mistakes, the old man seemed to be very relieved, and comforted her with words, his tone became emotional, and he glanced at the direction where Xia was: "Speaking of which, you have to thank this young man, if it weren't for her words, I'm afraid that not only would you be deceived by the church, but even I would probably not be able to see through their tricks...... For hundreds of years, no kingdom has perished because of the cooperation with the 'Witch's Hand', but the Holy Kingdom of the Church, its development and strength, was built on the premise of the fall of the Manville Empire, we must not fail to take warning!"

"Follow your grandfather's teachings!"

In the face of the old man's persuasion, Olivia Field was very respectful and bowed her head.

In this regard, the old man also showed a relieved smile and nodded to her.

Then, the old man set his eyes on Xia, whose meaning was far-reaching and profound, and his tone was extremely calm.

"Huh...... What a surprising young man, having a talent like you in the hands of a witch is really enviable!"

Being watched by this kind of gaze, Xia Na's nervous and terrifying feeling that had just calmed down surfaced again, and she was a little nervous in her heart, hearing this sentence of appreciation, she only met the old man's gaze, and couldn't help laughing a few times, wanting to deliberately ease the atmosphere and mood: "Hehe...... Well, you don't want me to move to your field family, do you? If you can afford a lot of money, maybe I can consider it!"

"Oh?"

The old man seemed to be really moved by her words, although the word job-hopping was a bit novel to him, the old man was still able to understand the meaning of her words, and asked her rhetorically: "What do you want for a 'big price', just say it!"

“......”

A drop of cold sweat hung on someone's forehead.

The old man's 'we are rich, willful, and naughty' local tyrant performance in front of her really caught Xia off guard, she didn't expect that the other party really wanted to bargain with herself, and she was not polite to her at all.

"Summer?!"

At the same time, there was also the voice of a certain magical girl in the psychic connection, and she seemed to be a little nervous.

"Well, old man, I was just joking. ”

Xia spread his hands to the old man, saying that he didn't actually have any idea of changing jobs.

"Hmmm......"

The old man hummed noncommittally, but he looked her up and down seriously, and then, his eyes gradually changed, and even his tone became a little unfathomable: "Young man, there is a powerful force in your body that does not belong to you, maybe you will think it is good, think that this is not bad, and even, you will feel complacent that you have its power, but I want to tell you, young man, you will be very dangerous if you continue like this......"

The old man's gaze made Xia Xin frightened, his pupils contracted instantly, and he only heard the old man continue to say flatly: "A truly powerful strong person will not touch any power that cannot be fully mastered, if you want to become a real strong person, you should pay attention to it." ”

“？！”

Again, Xia felt the feeling of being cold and hairy, but this time, it was not out of love for the old man, she was silent for a second, and bowed deeply to the old man, but it was some kind of etiquette for her in the original world: "Okay, I know, thank you very much for your advice!"

Originally...... When he first walked into this royal capital, the strangeness he felt actually came from some kind of gaze from this old man?

Xia's heart was enlightened, but he sincerely expressed his gratitude to the old man.

"Huh...... It's really a clear-minded young man, and you can see through it a little bit, it seems that you have already had an idea about it, right? Yes, yes, I'm getting more and more optimistic about you now......"

Hearing this, the old man smiled slightly, and another high praise, unabashedly his appreciation for her, and then, the old man's words changed again: "If you thank you, you don't need it, you can take what I just said as your reward for those words to my junior! If it weren't for your words today, perhaps, the Kingdom of Chirod would really choose another path to darkness and destruction, alas......"

The old man sighed, smiled kindly at Xia again, but turned his head to look at Duke Vlamir next to him, and his face sank: "Vlamyr, I have to say, you really disappointed me, maybe over the years, you have enjoyed a luxurious life for too long, and even your brain has begun to rot and rust? From today on, your duke title will be stripped away, take back your territory, and be demoted to a commoner, Vlamir, do you have any objections?"

"I ......"

Duke Vlamir was paralyzed on the ground, trembling, trembling like chaff, and his face was as pale as paper.

The Duke was half-kneeling on the ground, his head bowed, and at last he could not utter a word that he did not want to speak.

"No... No. ”

This result surprised Xia again, she didn't expect that a dignified duke of the Kingdom of Chirod would actually be deprived by this old man when he said that he would be deprived, this is too casual, right?

Even if it's a bit of a friendly signal to the Witch's Hand, it's a bit ...... Could it be that there is an inside story or a fact hidden in a certain duke that he does not know?

In this regard, she and Alex naturally would not speak for Lord Vlamir, who had a holiday with the 'Witch's Hand', and the two remained silent together.
