"What did you say? Jacqueline died? and Frey sent someone to hunt you down?" Veltis looked at Roy in disbelief.

Vertis took a deep breath, and suddenly the space around him became eerily peaceful.

"Genosis, Blake, give you a mission today to stop Roy from crying. ”

Viltis said as he walked out.

The scorching air suddenly became a shivering sensation.

With every step Veltis took, a footprint was left on the ground.

The footprints were not dusty and sticky, but concrete floors that had been trampled on.

..................

Benlei Empire. It is currently the largest of the five empires on the Pigeon Plain.

Imperial capital Bond.

Olive grove outside Bond City, with a cemetery next door.

Bond City, a distance of 1,200 kilometers from the Coniferous Fortress.

Veltis slowly walked out of the olive grove.

The cemetery is relatively sparse, and there are not many tombstones to be seen. At this time, on the side of the olive grove of the cemetery, there is a modest tombstone with a name engraved on it.

Jacqueline

A middle-aged man, squatting in front of the tombstone, exuded an air of decadence.

Veltis slowly walked behind the middle-aged man.

"Frey, what are you lying about? Whose bad idea did you? Do you know that the damage you have done to Roy like this is irreparable?"

The middle-aged man squatting in front of the tombstone is none other than Frey, the emperor of the Benlei Empire, the Soul Suppression Knight, title: Benlei.

Vertis knew that Frey was sad now, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "Besides, what do you think of Jacqueline's reputation?"

The more Vertis spoke, the more angry he became, and he grabbed Frey's collar: "Aren't you the top alchemist in the continent?

"Do you know what the Philosopher's Stone is made of?" Frey looked at Vertis clutching his collar very calmly.

"Yes!" Veltis was stunned, but could not hide his rage.

"If you know, then you ask?" Frey remained calm.

"Since you know that the material of the Philosopher's Stone is a living human life, what do you think will happen to Jacqueline if she relies on this kind of thing to sustain her life?

"That's your excuse for slandering Jacqueline?"

As soon as Roy said that Jacqueline had betrayed Frey, he knew that Frey was acting for Roy.

A long time ago, before Frey and Veltis became famous, the two traveled the continent together. Later, both of them fell in love with a woman, who was Roy's mother, Jacqueline. But when Vertis knew that Frey also liked Jacqueline, he immediately gave up.

There are reasons for this to be Veltys.

So now, Vertis sees Roy as if he were his own child.

"Since you know that I am acting, then you should also know that my subordinates are also acting. It was only Roy who was deceived, and when Jacqueline was seriously ill, I had already asked my subordinates to take Roy out of the imperial capital in advance, and Roy didn't know that Jacqueline had been sick for a long time. Roy's Guardian Knight, pretending to run away with him towards your fortress, and pretending to be all killed, only Roy escaped to you. Do you think I'm really going to ignore Jacqueline's reputation? Now Roy is the only one who thinks I'm wrong to blame his mother!"

Vertis calmed down a little and said, "Then what will happen to your relationship with Roy in the future? ”

Frey was helpless, and said with a faint smile: "It's up to you, brother." ”

"You also know that Roy's character is very cowardly, and he simply cannot inherit my throne. I'm just such a son. However, I couldn't bear to teach him to be a person he didn't want to be. ”

"Shall I bear it, you are deceiving yourself!" Veltis was still furious.

"I can't help it...... He is by my side and will only be more cowardly under my protection...... It's for Jacqueline's sake, help me......" Frey was still calm, but couldn't hide the decadence in his heart.

"Hmph!" Veltis was very upset.

The young eagles under the protection of the eagle will never grow up. Everyone knows this, the eagle drops the young eagle off the cliff to stimulate the young eagle to fly on its own, but if you really want to do this, many people can't do it.

..................

Inside the coniferous fortress.

Genosis takes Roy back to his dorm. The dormitory was supposed to accommodate four people, and it was clear that Genosis and Blake were working on something special.

Roy had been sullen and aggrieved. Janosis was very helpless to stay in the dormitory, watching Roy get depressed, and he became very depressed himself.

Emotions are contagious.

After a while, Blake returned, bringing three military tin bento boxes, which were supposed to be three people to divide the food.

Genosis took his lunch box. Blake handed Roy one, and Roy froze for a moment before taking the bento box.

Geneross didn't know why he didn't like the frustration so much, and he was so angry that he ate the food in three or two clicks.

Roy must have never eaten this kind of mass-made food, although he was hungry, but he didn't move, holding the bento in a daze. Seeing this, Blake smiled wryly, and then handed Roy his favorite chicken leg.

Roy shook his head: "I don't eat it." I want mom. ”

Generosis stopped Blake, held Blake's hand holding the drumstick, and pressed the drumstick back into Blake's bento box.

"Smack!"

Genosis slapped Roy in the face

"Bang!" didn't stop, another slap fell on Roy's hand, and the lunch box suddenly fell to the ground, and the food spilled all over the ground.

"You......" Blake had never seen Geneross angry growing up. And it was terrible for Genosis to get angry, and he didn't give face at all. Blake pulled Rajanosis in a curt: "Little Jay......"

With a calm face, Generosis turned to look at Blake and motioned for him not to speak.

"Wow——"

Roy didn't cry after being slapped in the face, and after a while he suddenly burst into tears.

"This waste is really a waste of food. Denosis shook his head, grabbed a broom and swept the scattered food into the garbage shovel, and a mop to clean the soiled floor.

Then he ignored Roy completely and said, "Blake, let's go, let's go to the rooftop square to practice." ”

Only Roy, who was slightly red from being beaten and curled into a crying ball, was left in the dormitory.

Genosis and Blake are walking the stairs that lead to the rooftop plaza. Blake asked while nibbling on the chicken leg that he hadn't finished just eating, "Xiaojie, isn't that good......

Genosis shook his head helplessly: "Have you ever seen the two of us be so hypocritical? ”

Blake smiled wryly, he was an orphan and had seen too many scenes that children shouldn't see. Even if the priest and nun who adopted him were killed in the Blood Knight massacre, Blake only grieved for two or three days before returning to normal. And Genosis's heart was more like iron and stone, and he didn't cry at all.

It's not that Genosis doesn't want to cry, it's that he has long since dried his tears when he was a child.

The hardships that Genesis and Black endured as children are known only to themselves.

"Are we going to leave him in the dorm like this?" Blake asked helplessly, "Will he be hungry if he hasn't eaten?"

"You care so much about what he does. Genosis was also a little annoyed: "If he doesn't eat the food you buy next time, I'll beat him until he eats." ”

A black line appeared on Blake's forehead, and he sneered awkwardly, "Uh......"

He had never seen such a Jenosis before. Blake thought about it for a moment, and seemed to suddenly understand why Genosis did this.

Roy became so weak because he received too much care when he was a child, and it was too easy to care. As children, Generosis and Blake were never cared for, so they learned to be strong at a young age. That's Blake's current thinking.

"However, the teacher gave us a character to tell him not to cry......" Blake still sneered awkwardly.

"......???uh, that's easy to do, just beat him until he doesn't dare to cry. Genosis said coldly.

Blake shrugged his shoulders awkwardly and hurried to follow.

A night of confrontational practice, although the two of them were tired, but very fulfilling.

"Instructor, please lend me a knight's dagger for training. Genossis doesn't seem to give Field room to dismiss. Field's eyes narrowed slightly, this weapon can't cause a blade wound at all, let alone a blade wound, even a blunt wound is difficult to cause, however, Genosis wants to borrow it, Field thought for a while, and said: "Then take it, but if it is broken, you will have to pay for it." ”

"Got it. Genosis looked at the weapon in his hand and took out the short sword for the training of the standard knights. He took out the Void Ring from his trouser pocket. The Void Ring is not worn on the hand, but in the trouser pocket, because it is inconvenient to wear gloves during training. After placing the dagger in the Void Ring, Genossis beckoned Black to go back.

Blake squinted his eyes slightly, and then asked, "Little Jay, what are you going to do here?"

"What am I?" asked Genossis rhetorically.

"You're a soldier. ”

"No, I'm asking about the next level. ”

"You're a guardian knight. Blake thought for a moment and said.

"What are you using that dagger for?"

"Self-defensive. Blake responded.

The attack power of the short sword is not strong, although it is short but heavy, and the defense performance is very good. When Blake was a little confused, the two had already arrived at the dormitory.

Genosis looked at Roy, who was huddled in a ball on the bed. Roy seemed to be angry, glared at Generosis and didn't speak.

(That's right, I'm afraid you won't even be angry.) ...... No one knew what medicine was sold in Genosis' gourd.

"Come down, what are you doing in my bed?" asked Genosis unceremoniously.

"No, unless, you say I'm sorry to me first!" presumably in response to the slap that Genosis had just slapped Roy, (since I was a child, no one has ever beaten me, neither has my mother, nor has my father!, why did you beat me?)

Genosis shook his head playfully. It seems to be announcing: I slapped you with my ability, why apologize.

"You really don't apologize. ”

At this time, Roy's question was no longer a questioning tone, let alone a rhetorical tone, but an affirmative tone, a kind of reconfirmation. Blake looked at the two of them whose atmosphere was not very harmonious, and he didn't know how to solve it.

As soon as the words fell, a flash of thunder flashed.

Roy jumped up violently, took a strange sword, and slashed at Generosis, and Geneross, naturally, took out the training knight-style dagger that had been prepared in the Void Ring for a long time.

"Bang!"

The two of them actually fought in the dormitory without saying a word!
