"It seems to be that Demon. Ash sniffled, discerning by the smell, rat witch beasts are naturally much more sensitive than humans, and the same is true of Ash's current body.

"It's him, well, and Harrison. ”

Roger straightened up, his ears moved, and he also judged the identity of the person who came, and it was not difficult for him to distinguish his identity from the footsteps of the person.

Sure enough, just after Roger and Ash judged who the person was, the figures of the two had already appeared at a corner in the back garden, and they walked slowly from there.

"Didn't bother you, Lord Roger?" Seeing that Roger was not staying in the room, but in the back garden, Demont greeted politely.

"The environment in the garden is better, so I just meditated here for a while, out of the way. Roger shook his head to indicate that it didn't matter, and then asked, "Are you ready to choose the position of head of the family?"

"Not bad. Demont nodded slightly nervously.

"I told you not to worry, since we are here, the position of the head of this family will not escape from your palm. Harrison said with relief.

Roger smiled and said, "When you encounter something closely related to yourself, you will inevitably lose your sense of proportion, this is normal, Harrison, don't talk cool next to you." ”

Demont smiled awkwardly and explained, "The head of the family sent someone to summon several of our candidates yesterday, saying that we should go and meet him together today, so that we can finally choose who the next head of the family is...... According to the family's tradition, this audience should be the last hurdle for the head of the family to choose a successor. ”

"In the history of the Lanluo family, it is not uncommon for this kind of situation to be compared before choosing the next head of the family. Because under normal circumstances, if there is a new high-level wizard apprentice in the family, then the next head of the family will be the next one, and there is no possibility of competition for others at all...... This selection will only occur if there is more than one high-level wizard apprentice in the family at the same time. ”

"What about you?" Roger didn't say anything, but he knew that Dermon understood what he was saying.

"I'm ashamed to say that our generation is all mediocre in our qualifications, and not a single high-level wizard apprentice has ever appeared, so we can only apply the selection method that applies to high-level wizard apprentices to us mid-level candidates. Demont sighed.

Roger nodded, not commenting on it.

He can't say that your generation is pretty useless, right?

"Two, let's stop rambling here, we might as well go over early, and maybe we'll see what kind of helpers your competitors have invited sooner. ”

Harrison saw that the atmosphere was a little dreary, and suggested.

Roger naturally didn't have any opinions, but he didn't know how to answer, and Demont also reacted, "Okay, then I'll go first, right?"

A gesture of please was made to Roger, and Demont walked ahead to lead the way for the two.

Each of the three major families has its own area in the city of Mod, with many estates of different sizes, in which only the core members of the family are eligible to live.

As one of the candidates for the head of the Lanluo family, De Mon is undoubtedly a core member.

The location of his manor is not far from the manor where the head of the Lanluo family is located, so he took Roger and Harrison and walked for a while, and he had already arrived at his destination.

Led by the servants in the Lanluo family's manor, the three of them came to the meeting room.

When they reached the door, they found that there were already two groups of people in the living room.

One of the two groups of people is the same as the three of Roger, and the other group has one more, a total of four.

Before Roger and the others arrived, the two groups of people did not communicate much, and each chose a corner to rest, and they were clearly separated from each other, and it was easy to see that they were not all the way.

"Yo, isn't this Cousin Demont, long time no see. Just as Demont and Roger and the others entered the meeting room, one of the more numerous people in the two groups suddenly greeted him.

Roger looked at the source of the voice, but saw that the person who spoke should be the dominant one of the four, most likely one of Demon's competitors.

And the other three should be the help that this competitor has invited.

"For a long time? I remember meeting you the other day, right?" asked Demont in a lukewarm and flat rhetorical manner.

"Hey, look at my memory, I can forget what just happened, cousin Demont, don't mind me, I have a bad memory. The man slapped his head and looked annoyed.

"Don't mind, of course you don't mind, how dare you mind these little things with Cousin Troll. Dermon smiled patternedly.

"Cousin Demont, you will see this outside, and I also hope that Cousin Demont will be able to bring your younger brother with you after you become the head of the family. The man whom Demont called Tro's cousin smiled.

"Hehe, maybe you're taking care of me, who knows. Demont said perfunctorily.

The two of them were vain and wronged, and without saying a few words, they each found a corner and sat down.

"Have you always been so hypocritical among the members of the wizarding family?" said Harrison to Demon as soon as he sat down.

"When there is no conflict of interest, they are relatives and friends, but once their own interests are involved, it is normal for intrigue, not surprising. Roger smiled and commented.

Whether in a past life or in this life, Roger is no stranger to the struggles in these families.

Although Roger's father in this life is only such a son, he is also the son of a nobleman after all, haven't you seen it yourself? Those nobles are entangled for interests, brothers are estranged, fathers conspire with sons, and sons kill their fathers, these things are all normal.

The wizarding family is indeed a level higher than any nobleman Roger has ever seen, but it is still a group of people anyway, and where there are people, there will be struggles.

"What Lord Roger said is that before becoming a candidate for the head of the family, Cousin Tro and I had a fairly good relationship, but for that position, ......" Demont shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, there are some things that there is no going back. Roger was silent.

Isn't that the path you have chosen?

To ordinary people, sorcerers are mysterious and powerful, with magical spells, and the powerful are like gods descending to earth, with incredible power.

But there is no moment when the path of wizards is not full of crises.

When you embark on this path, there is no turning back, and you will leave many things behind along the way.

In Roger's eyes, an apprentice wizard like Demon was not a real wizard at all.

The wizards of these wizard families, whether they become mid-level wizard apprentices or high-level wizard apprentices, are only to have enough strength to protect the existing forces.

The enterprising mind has been lost.

Wizarding talent is important, but the wizarding world has always been full of infinite possibilities, and even Roger, who does not have wizarding talent, can find a way before he dies.

Why can't others?

Because they no longer have the courage to overcome obstacles!

This kind of wizard can't go too far on the wizard's path.

Just as Roger was in a momentary trance, a group of people walked in from outside the meeting room, the same combination of three, led by a thin middle-aged man with a mustache.
