Chapter 24: The Oath

And God said, Let him who swears before me fold his hands, that people may see his true will.

Sending off Figo "Vulture" Raonis, Arthur stayed up all night, with Fred's melancholy snoring and the sound of the wind outside the window.

This loyal subordinate of the Golden Spear Family would not have appeared in front of him without the consent of Dusk Castle, and it seems that everyone did not trust the teacher who had disappeared for more than a year. They pinned their hopes for the revival of the Golden Spear entirely on themselves, and they obeyed the sole heir of that surname as if they were firm in their faith.

Now that Tyren no longer has a place for Figo, Raonis's political enemies will not miss any opportunity to cleanse the remnants of the family, and if anyone finds them, maybe even the remaining people in Dusk Castle will be implicated. Arthur took a deep breath, and the "dirty" moths that Figo had spoken of, including the Pope, including some ancient family with a history older than Tyron, were more powerful than the remnants of the icefield.

"In the name of the Golden Spear, I want you to make an oath that before I leave the Red Tung Magic Academy, all the actions of the Raonis side family will be calm, and you can only stay in the ice field, and no longer set foot in the Tyranid Empire. ”

Arthur looked at the black-robed vulture quietly, his expression unusually serious and persistent. With tears in his eyes, Figo trembled and put his big hand on the child's immature palm, and softly repeated the oath.

Without growth, there is no bloom. Whether it's for the sake of Leonis's future or for his own selfishness, patience must be made.

After dawn, Fred was still extremely worried about holding the book, and followed Arthur into the classroom with fear, except for the familiar disdain of the noble children, the days were still the same as usual.

And Anna, who found Arthur in the library, muttered with red eyes, "Stupid, I know you're not thieves." Arthur smiled, opened the caviar brought by the little girl, plucked it with his fingers and put it in his mouth, savored the sourness of the tooth-squeezed caviar, and touched Anna's head, "Yes, we are stupid, not thieves." ”

"I promise you, next time I'll bring a plate to a dinner party. ”

When the little girl heard this, she suddenly cried even more, causing Fred to lie behind the bookshelf and watch quietly.

Going to class, getting out of class, going to the library, watching the leaves of the red tree turn from red to yellow, time slipped away quietly, silently.

In the golden autumn, the Salid corruption case finally ushered in great progress, according to the public statements of the Duke Councilor of the investigation team after returning to the imperial capital, the warriors of the Dragon Horn Knights are the innocent victims of this **, and he strongly condemns any political conspirators to do anything detrimental to the interests of the empire.

With the Senate's almost one-sided sweeping move, the Wolf King was urgently summoned into the palace by His Majesty the Emperor that night. In Alden III's favorite Baroque Crystal Dome Palace, there was a long conversation with the military giants of the empire, and a certain degree of agreement was reached on certain sensitive topics.

Two months later, Zach Verdun, deputy head of the Hurricane Knights of Alden, rushed north to officially become the commander of the Seventh Legion of the Stronghold of Salid. Once this notorious royal "wolf dog" leaves its homeland, there is nothing left to bind it, and the royal family will continue to grow its strength in the army, which is also considered to be an important symbol of the military department's compromise with the imperial family in this turmoil. In addition, Gary Chauvin, the former commander of the Dragonhorn Knights, who was imprisoned in the Fifth Legion, was found not guilty.

Standing on the dirt slopes of the canyon of the Jinshan Basin, Gary enjoyed the feeling of the breeze on his face, and the occasional roar of the giant wolf in his ears, all of which made his heart extremely calm, except for the man who came from a distance.

"Master Gary. The bespectacled middle-aged man walked up the dirt slope, followed by Kusa, the leader of the Wolf Knight Legion, "A few of your comrades will arrive here this afternoon. ”

"Thank you, Uncle John. Gary's cheeks were much thinner than before, and the months of not seeing the light of day in prison did not make him depressed, but rather sharpened his temper more calm.

"The Knights of the Dragon Horn have been completely disbanded, and the original knights have been broken up and incorporated into various legions. The middle-aged man took off his glasses and wiped them with a hand towel, and whispered, "Some people don't want to see the Chauvin family wield greater military power. ”

"Disappointment is a shadow of hope. Gary smiled and said, "Please tell my father that I will go to the ice field with the wolf rider for some time." ”

The middle-aged man sighed secretly and put on his glasses, the secret order given to him by the wolf king is two, if the only heir of the family is not willing to return to the imperial capital, then let him follow the wolf knight to the ice field, which is adjacent to the Duchy of Bourbon, which is a good place to start anew. If he silently chooses to return to the imperial capital, then the Chauvin family will no longer have an heir. Because the wolf king would rather strangle his own child with his own hands than see a cowardly wolf cub who will only go home and whimper and cry.

"Then, you are the new Captain of the Wolf Knight Legion. John handed over the token of the wolf king.

"Thank you. Gary picked up the token with the wolf's head engraved on it, but his fingers turned white from the exertion, knowing that when he set foot here again, he would bring with him a power superior to that of the Knights of the Dragonhorns.

In the northern official hall, as the curtain came down on the corruption case, the mood of the consul Rooney was obviously heavy. The political and military affairs of the empire have always been two opposites, with the exception of the north, where the consuls are not only responsible for ordinary affairs, but can intervene in the operations of local garrisons when necessary. But Zac Verdun, the new commander of the Seventh Legion, did not bring any royal decree, and did not even stop to pass through the largest city in the north, and went directly to the fortress of Salid further north.

The consul was a little worried, he had wanted to let the wolf cub leave the corpse in the red clay cave, and the turmoil dissipated. He also wanted to assassinate the senator, and the troubles moved south. But in response to that hope, which was always accompanied by disappointment, and nothing could be carried out smoothly, before Councilor Duke arrived safely in the imperial capital, he sent a messenger to report everything to the head of the house, in addition to receiving a reprimand, and a message from the head of the house, to pay attention to the commander of the Seventh Army who will be appointed in the near future, and it is best to get acquainted with this notorious man.

But it backfired, and people didn't even enter the door.

"Did the head of the house mention the origin of that Duke Councilor?" the archon asked, knocking on the table, frowning. He is not the best talent in the family, but when it comes to figuring out what he wants, he has to be, otherwise he would not be in this position today.

"The head of the house didn't mention any information about Councilor Duke, only that you must do everything you can to get the new Legion Commander around, even if it doesn't matter how much infamy you have on your back. The messenger of the family bowed his head.

"Okay. The consul thought for a while, took out a box from the bookcase and put it on the table, and said with a gentle attitude: "This is a little northern specialty, please return to the imperial capital and hand it over to the head of the family, Rooney is willing to sacrifice everything for the family." ”

The messenger nodded, picked up the box, and left. When he got into the car, the messenger opened the box and saw that there were a few pickled sausage-like black things inside, which was not only a little funny, but also secretly sighed that this family member who had worked hard to get to the top really had insight into the mind of the head of the family.

When the messenger left the official hall, the consul paced slowly in the study, and the former consul's residence was sealed because of the case, and now he rarely even went to the garden, but only monotonously haunted the study and office. After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't think of any connection between the new legion commander and the family, which made the family master attach so much importance to it.

"Damn it. The consul slammed the table with a sad face.

With a muffled sound, thousands of wolves swarmed out of the canyon and whistled in the direction of the eastern ice field. Gary on the back of the wolf squinted slightly, and his ears were heard by the noise of his colleagues who came in a hurry, and the huge Heculus carried a huge axe, riding on the back of the wolf that jumped and ran, and grabbed the mane of the wolf's neck with a nervous face, and scolded in his mouth: "What the is this mount?!Gary, you liar who kills a thousand knives! Let me go down ......"

"Stupid...... Fool, you say less...... Say less. Andrew, the stuttering logistics officer, stared at his mount with a pale face, for fear that it would start a fire and bite itself in two when he turned his head, and that guy's long fangs were really scary.

Among the three, only the thin Welsh sat on the back of the wolf, the wind was light, and his body rose and fell with the amplitude of the giant wolf's jump in the air every time, which was not inferior to the wolf knights who grew up on the wolf's back since childhood.

Not only is the ice wolf explosive, but its endurance has also increased a lot after training by the Chauvin family, and it soon climbed over the Jinshan Mountains and swooped to the east. As Gary galloped at the head, Huo Ran drew his sword, and the wolf knight behind him drew his sword almost at the same time, and the sun shone brightly against the sword, dazzling.

"I swear that one day, I'll give back to those behind the scenes. ”
