3. Secrets
"The orc tribes of the barren stone plateau united together to break the blockade of the Dragon Canyon, and it took only three days to break through the capital of the Duchy of Morras in the north, which was a big duchy, and the country was destroyed in three days, those fools were frightened, and they actually wanted to make peace with the orcs, but they didn't succeed in stealing chickens, but fell into an army of 60,000 people, tsk, but speaking of which, the iron-blooded general Versailles in the north, was famous in that battle, he took those soldiers who were trapped for half a month, lacked supplies and suffered heavy casualties to fight four tough battles in a row, and they knocked out a gap in the encirclement of 100,000 orcs, and escaped, hey, the afterlife is terrifyingοΌβ
Sasse smoked a cigarette as he told Elivan, who was about to fall asleep, the old story of how he and the old mages of Human had killed four thousand orcs in a brave battle, the sound of horses' hooves echoed back and forth in the dark streets, and the driver outside the car occasionally raised the magic horse lantern to light the way forward.

Sam City may be known as the city that never sleeps, but you can't ask for more on the outskirts of the country, but the Lagerph family is really good at driving, and it is hard to get the stumbling country road out of the feeling of a broad road, which is of course why Elevenn is about to fall asleep, without him, the luxurious carriage is so smooth that it is almost as comfortable as his big bed stuffed with goose down.
But he didn't forget what he was doing, and he looked around, but he was surprised to find that the journey was unbelievably smooth, and about an hour later, the group arrived at the Lagerph Castle, which was also located on the outskirts of Sam City, but was almost diagonal to Mogedin Manor, and although it was already night, this luxurious castle was as bright as day.
Elivan straightened his clothes again, loosened his neckline, which was a little tight due to nervousness, and helped Sas, who was wearing an archmage's robe, to step down from the carriage, but before the two of them could stand firmly, a loud and somewhat rude voice came from the gate of the castle,
"Look who this is! Old immortal Sas, every time I see you, I want to go crazy with jealousy, you can still walk around by yourself, and I, who is already old, can only let the servants push away!"
When Elivan looked up, he saw the old butler Hawks who he saw at dusk walking briskly with a wheelchair pushing an old mage who looked drooping, the old mage's hair had fallen out in half, and his face was covered with old age spots, but his eyes were bright and scary, which was in stark contrast to his body that could be blown away by the wind, and was as impressive as his loud voice.
At this time, Sass also got rid of Elivan's hand like a gamble, used his staff as a crutch, walked up to the old mage step by step, looked at him quietly, and then actually made a grimace, grinned, and replied equally loudly,
"Ha, Human, see which of us is the real immortal, and I can still ride with my grandson!"
Elevenn had never seen his grandfather so profligate like now, obviously, his relationship with Human was indeed as rumored, better than brothers, but then, his face became very strange, because his grandfather actually drove away the Hawkes butler who had been pushing Hawks, and he pushed Hawkes's wheelchair into the Lagulf castle step by step, and the somewhat embarrassed Hawkes butler quickly recovered and politely led Elevenn into the castle.
"What are the big names coming tonight? Mr. Hawkes, grandpa has been hiding from me. β
Eleven, as he walked beside Hawkes, asked, the old butler was also a wonderful man, and he smiled and pointed to some of the young girls who were laughing and playing in the castle garden, and whispered to Eleven,
"It's not a matter of concern which big names will come tonight, but let me say that the ladies from the eastern mountains are the important guests you need to know so much. β
Hearing this, Elivan turned his head to look at the girls in the garden who were at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and then gave Hawks a stiff smile,
"Hehe..."
However, Elivan's father, Pol, seems to have met Linar who came to Sam City to travel when he was attending a banquet at Lagelf Castle, and the two fell in love almost at first sight, but Elivan also heard his brother Rhys occasionally say that the union of Linar and Pol was not recognized by her family in the eastern mountains, and then Linar bravely rejected the family's will and chose her own happiness.
Of course, this is Rees's beautifying words, even the attendant Little Lyle knows that the eastern mountains located on another continent are far stronger than the Elsi continent, and it is said that the nobles over there look down on the guys in the western continent at all, and it is really not an exaggeration to say that the nobles of the El continent are a group of hillbillies.
"Little Eleven, come on! Grandpa will introduce you to a few big people!"
Sas's voice quickly came from the main banquet hall, Elevenn said goodbye to Hawks butler with a smile, and then walked quickly into the banquet hall, and then saw a group of gray-haired old guys sitting or standing in the simple but unique room, all looking at Elevenn who walked into the room with scrutinizing eyes.
"Tut-tut, that's amazing. β
An old man who was blind in one eye glanced at Eleven, then closed his eyes again, and said with a sigh of relief,
"Aquatic Blue Lotus, it's amazing, it's amazing!"
Eleven's face immediately stiffened a little, and another old voice with a strange yin and yang almost immediately picked up the old man's words,
"It's a pity that the magic vein is blocked, and a king-level star sign is blind, otherwise in ten years at most, the Nine Towers Council will become the Ten Towers Council. β
"Smack!"
The gloomy Saas slapped the table and pointed to the old woman in the corner who was almost curled up on the sofa and shouted,
"Mosley, Fleming, are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"
"Haha, don't get excited, don't get excited"
Human's wheelchair was placed next to Sas, and he stretched out his hand full of gray spots and pressed down on Sas's fingers, and slowly persuaded,
"Sas, it's not that you don't know what happened to Mosley, her grandson's astrological sign is Laihua, and when she saw little Elivan's aquatic blue lotus, she was naturally ashamed, don't be like her. β
Hearing this, half of the old men and women in the room laughed, and the other half covered their mouths and trembled, looking extremely hard, even the stiff-faced Elevenn laughed, and the resentment that was full of anger just now disappeared.
"Isn't that a turnip, hahaha?"
One by one, the old disrespectful guys laughed and staggered, but the little old lady stood up angrily, and after a while, she collapsed weakly on the sofa.
"Hey... That's it, one is a king-level astrology that can never be lit up, and the other is a last-class astrology that can never be promoted, you two are just a pair, forget it, get closer in the future. β
As the words fell, the laughter of the old men and ladies faded out, and those who were in good relationships gathered around Mosley to comfort her, while Human hooked his finger at Elevenn with interest,
"Boy, come here!"
Elevenn looked up at Saas, who smiled and nodded, and he walked slowly to Furman's side and whispered,
"Good evening, Grandpa Xiuman. β
"Hmph"
Human snorted, but his seemingly thin left hand grabbed Eleven's arm like lightning, and with a slight flick, Eleven's fell to the floor, this blow made Elevenn a little dazed, but he was roaring in his heart,
The old guy is really uneasy and kind! Look at Lao Tzu stabbing you!
At the same time as the child fell, Helmann's other hand also wrapped around Eleven's boot, and with a flick, the short sword hidden in it fell into Heleven's hand, and Elevenn panicked and wanted to stand up, but found that Villaman's thin arm was so full of strength that he couldn't make any other moves.
"Tut-tut, look at this blood trough, it's even more vicious than the guys in the hands of those orc assassins back then, Sas, you grandson is terrible. β
Human pressed Elivan's arm with one hand, put the dagger in front of his eyes with the other hand and looked at it, and Saas also gasped, he was sure that the guards of the Mogedin family would never give such a vicious trick to Elivan, so where did he learn these tricks?
For a while, Sass felt that this most well-behaved little grandson on weekdays had become a little strange.
And Human withdrew his arm, looked at Elivan, who stood up and glared at him, sighed, and said,
"Do you really think there is any conspiracy on the part of the Lagerph family to hand over the Ichisei Enchantment Workshop to Mogedin?"
"Of course, the puppet is like a child swaggering through the market with gold, although the Mogding family has been inherited for a hundred years, but the number of people is scarce, it is not a force at all in Sam City, and it is already in danger, and then taking over the Yicheng Enchantment Workshop you have at hand, won't it make those greedy guys have thoughts that they shouldn't have?"
Elivan rubbed his wrist in pain, but quietly took out one of the magic crystals in his personal pocket, and said to Xiuman and Sass with a strange smile on his face,
"Even if Grandpa and Father occupy two seats in the Council of the Nine Towers, can the Mogding family really resist the joint attack of other enchanted merchants? As far as I know, the merchants who rely on enchantment to eat in the entire Gray Plains have already hated our Mogding family and your Lagerph family to death, right? When the time comes, those rats hiding in the darkness will unite, not to mention our Mogding family, your Lagerph family will not be able to escape this catastrophe... Wait a minute... You already knew?"
Looking at the strange smile on the faces of Sass and Human, Elivan's face became bad, he had always thought that he was the only one in the entire family who saw the hidden danger behind the Mogedin family's soaring, but at this moment, he had to admit that he had ignored the relationship between the two old guys for decades, could it be that these two old men had known all this for a long time, and this transaction was just a cover?
The more Elivan thought about it, the more likely it became, especially when it came to some unusual movements in the family recently, several originally intricate threads in his mind suddenly connected together, and he couldn't help but exclaim,
"Mogedin and Lagerph are exiting Sam City?"
