A few hours later, Sally followed Belen back to Wright Manor. Along the way, Sully kept an eye on Belen's state, which was very weak, like an old man in his twilight.

"Ahem...."Belen coughed a few more times.

"Have you arrived?" Belen said in a tired voice when he saw Steward Rouse at the gate of the manor. In front of Sully, Belén lowered the mask of strength and did not hide his weakness.

..........

In the study.

The Count of Belém unloaded a knight's armor and wrapped himself in a thick coat of animal skins.

Sully sat across from Belém. Belén poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. For a moment, neither side spoke.

After a while, Belen felt that his body was finally warmer, and finally opened up the conversation.

"Tell me, what do you see?" said Belen with a smile.

"There's something wrong with that gun!" said Sally, straight to the point.

"Besides, they should have seen it too!" Sally was referring to the other great knights of the family, of course.

"No, they won't find out. Belen said with some self-deprecation.

"Why?" asked Sally puzzled, since he could see it, it didn't make sense that the other big knights couldn't find out that there was something wrong with this gun!

"That gun, only the blood of the Wright family can find its extraordinary! In the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary gun! It is the curse of our Wright family! But in the same way, it is also the foundation of our family. After thinking about it, Belén added, "At least it was like this before my generation!"

"You know the founder of our family, right?"

"It's Feron Wright, the first Earl of Impalation!" said Sally.

"Yes! Feron Wright, our ancestor. In that year, in the war with the Sauron Empire, the ancestors followed Alexander the Great to fight on the battlefield and made great contributions. At the end of the war, the ancestors were given the title of hereditary earl, the title of Earl of Piercing!" said this, Belén was emotional.

"That's the version you know, right?" Suddenly, Belen asked Sally rhetorically.

Sally frowned and said, "Isn't that so?"

"Yes, all this is true, without exaggeration. Belen said.

Sally frowned, he knew that there must be a reason for his father to say this.

"But do you know who the Ancestors were when they first participated in that war?"

"Infantry!" said Belen to himself before Sally could speak.

Sally's pupils shrank, infantry, is a lower class than cavalry. In a world where knights are named after the Transcendent, cavalry is the highest class. But in war, you can generally join a cavalry regiment as long as you reach the peak of your squire. And their ancestors, in that war, were just infantry, infantry, that was synonymous with cannon fodder!

So how did he lay this foundation? Sally couldn't help but think, and then thought about it again. Without much thought, he figured it out.

"Yes, that's the gun!

"After a battle, the ancestor was assigned to clean up the battlefield, and by a corpse, he found the gun!" I picked it up without hesitation, and even now, I still don't regret this decision!' This is the last words left by my ancestor on his deathbed, and every generation of the patriarch of the Wright family will pass it on word for word!" After a pause, the count continued, "At that time, the ancestor's decision was not wrong, without that gun, there would be no future glory for him, and there would be no Wright family now. In that kind of war, he could die at any time. It was the gun that saved him and gave him a brilliant life. But none of this is free!"

"This is a demon soldier, a demon soldier who eats people!"

"Devouring?"

After a moment of silence, Belen said in a deep voice, "It was when I was just an adult, and I saw my father devoured by it. As he spoke, Belen's eyes showed a hint of fear, which showed how much that incident had affected him.

"So, I locked it in the basement later, and even when we were forced out of the royal city, I didn't use it and kept it locked for more than ten years. But in the end, I still haven't gotten rid of this curse!" Belen's tone was slightly lonely.

"The reason why I took it out was not because of Sawyer and the Baker family, the real reason was because I ...... Finally figured out one thing. As long as our family is still in this position, it is impossible to get rid of this curse!"

As he spoke, Belen glanced at Sally, "But you're different, you're the heir of our family who is most likely to get rid of this curse! And I'm going to make it to that time!" Belen's tone was full of excitement. This is the same as a father who wants his son to become a Chan and is about to see his son come out of the picture.

"That thing, in some places, is actually the same as people, the longer you hold it, the more crazy it will break out in the end! I have been holding it for more than ten years, and now all of it has worked on me. I don't know how much longer I'll last. ”

"As long as this thing exists, it is our last insurance, if you fall into a crisis in the future, you can withdraw naturally, even if you give up the title, we Wright family, in order to keep this title, we have paid too much. Can't be returned, then it's ...... That's why we love and hate it! Just like the ancestor said, he had no choice at all, even if it was a devil's deal, he .....admitted it."

Sally looked at his father strangely.

The more he listened, the more wrong it became, and it was as if he was saying his last words.

"Heh! I'm still holding on. Belen said self-deprecatingly.

"It's just that the way I inherited it wasn't formal, and I don't know how long I can last. What if, then, death comes too suddenly...... So, I'll tell you!"

......

"Well, I have one more thing to discuss with you when I called you today. ”

"Discuss with me?"

"Yes, this is about the future of our Wright family. ”

Sally sat upright.

"Dolang Province is just a temporary place for us after all. Ten years ago, we left the royal city, and now you probably know that we were kicked out in the first place!"

"So, Father wants to go back to the royal city now?" said Sally.

"Yes, your mother is the woman I love most in my life, and if we had been able to reach Dolang Province ten years ago, then I am afraid that I would have really made this place a place for my family to settle down!" said the Earl, a little lonely.

Sully's mother was the daughter of the patriarch of the Bert family in the royal city. Ten years ago, the Wright family left the royal city, the weather was extremely harsh along the way, and his mother died of illness on the road.

"And now that you've grown up, it's time for me to fulfill my responsibilities as the patriarch of the Wright family! The Count's tone revealed a powerful self-confidence, ambition!

"I see, father, I agree to return to the royal city!"

After a moment of silence, the Count said, "Thank you, Sally!"

"Father, we don't have to talk about this between us!"

..........

Father's mind Sally naturally knows that his father wants to recreate the glory of the Wright family not so much, but to a greater extent, his father wants to avenge his mother!

The most important thing is that when these two wishes can be both, it will encourage the Count to make this choice!

If the Earl wants to restore the glory of the Wright family, he will need Sully to keep the legacy. This is undoubtedly a heavier burden than it is now, and maybe Sully will use that gun again, which is why Belen said "thank you"!
