Chapter Seventy-Four: The Man Who Keeps His Promises
When the chief deacon saw Yulian's figure, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and the old man also felt the reverent gaze of the nobles around him. Although Yuren did not communicate with them about this matter in advance, the members of the Orthodox sect have been waiting for this day since the deacon's plan was implemented. They all knew very well that as a high-ranking swordsman, Yuren's self-esteem certainly couldn't make him like those who burned his eyebrows, and even if he really wanted to return to his territory immediately, he would have to take the initiative in this matter. And the orthodox nobles have naturally been prepared for this, and they don't intend to completely turn their faces with this young high-ranking swordsman, so if the other party's request is not too excessive, they still plan to agree and maintain a good relationship with him.
Of course, this is not without doubts, although these nobles who are familiar with the deacon's plan already believe that Yulian went to the Zach family this time precisely because he knew that there was a problem in his territory, so he needed to go back quickly to solve it. But this raises a new question, and what about those who have completed the mission? Why didn't they report it to themselves? In fact, the nobles of the Zack family had lost contact with them since they were sent to the Twilight Forest, and had not been heard from since. And in order to avoid startling the snake and letting this terrifying and cunning high-ranking swordsman find out something, they could only endure it.
But this time, when Yulian's figure appeared in front of everyone, some people couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in their hearts, will everything really go as smoothly as the chief deacon planned?
Of course, they can only keep such questions in their hearts, especially after the appearance of that young figure, everyone even left this little worry behind.
"Master Zack!!"
Seeing this small figure, almost everyone present felt excited, excited, many of them were loyal members of the old patriarch, and now seeing this child who inherited the only bloodline of the old patriarch, naturally has a different feeling from ordinary people.
Walking into this room, Yu Lian looked at it casually, only to see that in the whole room, there were about a dozen nobles in formal clothes, sitting or standing, and the old man who had dealt with him before was standing in the middle of them, he looked around, and then found Keller's figure, this man who was only half of orthodox blood, seemed to have been completely forgotten at the moment, he just stood silently behind everyone, looking at the thin boy next to him expressionlessly, what was he thinking? Or ridicule?
"On behalf of the Zach family, I welcome you, Honorable Lord. ”
The voice of the chief deacon filled the room, immediately overpowering all the noise.
"You're welcome. ”
Facing this old man, Yu Lian didn't say much, he just shrugged his shoulders, and then gracefully owed the owe as a return gift.
"That's what I'm supposed to do, I promised Mr. Zack Jr. that I would send him back to the Zach family safe and sound, and now I think it's time for me to make good on my promise. ”
"I see. ”
The nobles were not surprised by Yulian's words, in fact, they were also speculating about what kind of way this young high-ranking swordsman would use to find a suitable excuse for himself, but they didn't expect him to find such a strange reason......... However, looking at the appearance of Young Master Zack, it doesn't look like he made it up temporarily, is this really the case?
"Master Zack, welcome back. ”
The old deacon took two steps forward, then stretched out his arms.
"We've been waiting for this day for a long time, and we all know you'll be back!"
"Chief Deacon, Grandpa......!"
After receiving Yulen's permission, the boy immediately turned around and ran quickly to the old man not far in front of him, and threw himself into his arms.
"I'm scared, I'm scared, I've been scared since I left here............"
"It's alright, Master Zack. ”
The old deacon gently stroked the boy's head and comforted him softly.
"You have returned to the Zach family, and we will swear to protect you forever until you become a qualified family head, this is your father's last wish, and this is our expectation............"
Just as the old man whispered to the child, Yuren's gaze fell on the cane he was holding, and then he frowned slightly, and then the next moment, he took Ofariel's hand and led her behind him. Then, with a peaceful, gentle smile, he spoke.
"Very touching goodbye, old man. ”
"I'm sorry, we're a little too excited. ”
Hearing Yu Lian's words, the old man let go of the hand holding the child, and then he coughed, retracted the smile on his face, and returned to his original serious and solemn expression.
"So, I suppose, my promise has been fulfilled?"
Originally, the old chief deacon had imagined that this high-ranking swordsman should negotiate with him on the issue of further remuneration, but unexpectedly, before he had time to invite the other party to have a good talk, Yu Lian gave such an answer, what is going on? Could it be that what is happening in his territory is really so urgent that he doesn't even have the mood and time to negotiate the conditions?
If that was the case, it would have been great, but the old deacon's instincts told him that the truth of the matter seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined.
"Yes, sir. ”
Thinking of this, the old chief deacon stood up straight, he clenched the cane in his left hand, paused slightly, and then skillfully pulled the boy to his side.
"You have indeed fulfilled your promise, and this is the good quality of a noble nobleman. ”
"I think so too. ”
Yulian nodded, it seemed that he had not inherited the "modest" qualities of the nobility at all. But then, his next sentence made everyone's hearts rise inexplicably.
"And, in my opinion, a noble nobleman would also be a man who plays by the rules of the game, right?"
"Of course, Mr. Yuren. ”
The old deacon's brow furrowed slightly, and he turned the cane in his hand, as if to wonder why the young man was here to talk to himself about such strange topics. And those nobles who were still excited also came to their senses, and they instinctively sensed that things seemed to be moving in a direction that they could not predict, but they didn't know what the problem was.
"So, as a person who keeps his promises, I think it's time for me to fulfill my next promise. ”
At the same time as Yulian said this, the old man suddenly raised the cane in his hand, and then, a dark red point of light burst out from the ruby at the top of the cane, and in the blink of an eye, a huge fireball was formed, which exploded and blasted towards Yulian who was standing not far away.
The scorching wind and air immediately burst out around the old chief deacon, spreading in all directions, forcing the nobles to instinctively retreat, and Yuren, who bore the brunt of the attack, obviously had no chance to dodge, but at this moment, he made a move that no one could have imagined - in the face of the huge fireball that rushed in his face, Yulian grabbed Ofariel's palm with his backhand, and then suddenly turned and pushed her in front of him.
"Your Excellency?!"
Ofaril didn't react to what was happening, she was still hiding behind Yuren, feeling uneasy about the direction of the whole situation, but just in the next moment, she was suddenly pushed forward by Yuren, and what she was facing was a huge fireball that was burning towards her!!
Although Ofaril is already a soul body at the moment, but in the face of this terrifying and huge fireball, even she can't help but forget her identity for a while, the scorching flame seems to be able to turn her into ashes in an instant, and death is so close to her, almost within reach, it will take her life again.
Instinctively, O'Faryl closed his eyes and greeted his death again.
But, to her surprise, just as she felt the heat about to envelop her, all of a sudden, the hot sensation was gone, and both the tongues of fire that burned and raged, and the air that was hot enough to dry everything were all wiped out in an instant. And when Ofaril opened his eyes in surprise, he found that he didn't know when, circles of pale black mist appeared around him again, and at this moment they were slowly rotating around his body, as if to protect himself. And that terrible, terrifying fireball was completely gone.
"The phantom is a surname!"
Seeing the illusory black shadow hovering around Offariel's body, the old deacon's face froze, and then in the blink of an eye, he raised his cane in his hand, and then, a translucent magical barrier appeared from it, firmly protecting him and Master Zach in it. And at this moment, the old chief deacon realized that there was no longer the figure of the young nobleman by Ofariel's side.
Where did he go?
Just as this question popped up in the old deacon's mind, a scream suddenly sounded, and when he searched for prestige, he saw Yulian standing leisurely at the door on the other side of the room, drawing his pitch-black sword from a convulsive nobleman.
"I told you. ”
Sensing the old deacon's gaze, Yulian raised his head, a leisurely smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then, he shrugged his shoulders, revealing the figure of Keller who was blocked behind him.
"I'm a man of promises. ”
