Chapter 68: Choice
Good pure Light energy.
Looking at the holy light on Li Ke's body, Gianna couldn't help but praise in her heart, but her mind immediately fell on the lord's body.
But the moment she saw the lord, she couldn't help frowning.
Not because of anything else, but she was sure that she had unleashed the curse for the other party before, and now, the other party still didn't have any curse on his body.
There is no breath of shadow energy, no breath of evil energy, and no unusual magical energy.
So, she thought of the fluctuations of the teleportation spell she had detected earlier.
"Have you ever seen a mage?"
Gianna asked tentatively, and she usually doesn't ask much about this kind of thing. After all, it's too normal for the nobles below to fund the mage to do something, although she was invited here to deal with the problems in the territory, and also to deal with the problem of evil energy, but what......
They were invited by the bishop, and the bishop was behind it, so normally, she was leaving now.
If it weren't for the fact that Arthas was going to take his knights to hunt and train nearby, and get used to army life first, she would have been in Dalaran by now, not here.
Therefore, in terms of legal principles and rules, she can't ask more.
"Yes, but I'm sure...... That mage has nothing to do with it. ”
Li Ke didn't speak, it was the lord who answered Gianna a little weakly.
"That's the offense."
Gianna nodded, and after confessing, she raised her hands, and suddenly a ray of light appeared on the lord's body, and Gianna's expression became more and more serious.
However, when Gianna unleashed several spells, she still frowned.
The lord's appearance was obviously under some curses and spells, or caused illusions, because she didn't feel any necromantic breath when she came, and there was nothing left in the lord's body except for the kind of grand and righteous holy light left by Li Ke.
There are no clues.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jon, I didn't check for anything wrong...... If you don't mind, I'd like to check with the other mages to see if anyone has cast psychic spells here. ”
Gianna asked politely, and the lord hesitated for a moment before waving his hand.
"Don't bother, Miss Gianna, maybe I'm too sad, so hard for you to make this trip for me."
The old lord rubbed his forehead, he was indeed sad, his most favored son, who had the greatest expectations, died, and he could not be sad.
It's just for the inheritance of the family, and he has been holding on to it all this time.
He turned his head to look at the silent Li Ke, feeling the breath of the incomparably grand holy light that Li Ke left beside him, and couldn't help but sigh.
He had fought with paladins and knew the Light well, and had been rescued from the brink of death by the Light many times.
However, there has never been a holy and great light like the light that Li Ke possesses.
It was not the Light that mortals could have.
"Okay, but as long as I'm here, if you need something, I'll definitely help. Also, I'm not really proficient in this area, so if you know a psychic, you might want to ask them for help. ”
Gianna was a little helpless, but there was no way around it, she didn't find anything.
And the old lord nodded indifferently, but the meaning of sending off the guest was very obvious.
"I am deeply grateful for your help."
"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do."
Gianna nodded helplessly, and then left under the butler's hospitality.
She wasn't from the Jon family after all, so she wasn't in a position to say more. If Arthas had been here, she might have been able to do more, but apparently, it wasn't possible now.
This is another kind of rule, a rule that makes this enthusiastic girl helpless.
Looking at Gianna's back as she left, the old lord sighed, he also wanted Gianna to help find it, but there were too many hidden things in his manor.
And he'd seen psychic, people who worked with the dead, who often had problems with their psychic spells, and sometimes channeled to other people who died here.
Even if you want to find a psychic, you definitely can't find it while Her Highness Gianna is still here.
So......
Is this the end of my life?
The old lord had a feeling that he was on the fork in the road that would determine his life, whether he would die or not, and what would happen to his family was entirely up to his current choice.
In his past life, he felt this way more than once, and he continued to make the right choice.
And this time, he believes that he still can't make a mistake.
"Li Ke."
He turned his head to look at the man he had expected to be the most trusted paladin of his son.
"Have you ever held a grudge against me? Resent me for forcing you to stay here? ”
His question made Li Ke stunned for a moment, he was silent for a moment, and then answered the old lord with a subtle mentality.
"No, I have never held a grudge against you, in fact, you are the best person I can in this world, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart."
There is no half-lying in his words, the lord really values him very much, noble status, beautiful women, and a business to make a living, and even gives himself the opportunity to show his talents in another world.
By the standards of this world, it makes no difference to be a re-created parent.
But he insisted on staying here until his son was ready to take over the property, and wanted to make himself the guardian of their family, a family dog.
If it was in that peaceful world, someone of a similar status wanted him to do this, maybe he would be happy.
But alas, there needs to be a premise.
The environment in which they live is a relatively safe place.
There is no here, and if he says it, no one will believe it.
Because it's ridiculous.
The lord will not give up his own inheritance, the inheritance of his family, and listen to his so-called 'prophecy'.
Li Ke really respects him very much, the lord is a very qualified nobleman and lord no matter where he looks at it, at least in the territory he manages, no one says that he is not, and most of the people are also able to eat and clothe themselves.
And although he seems cold, he is actually humane enough in the current situation.
The lord was stunned for a moment, his extraordinary experience told him that Li Ke was serious.
His somewhat cloudy eyes moved, and he muttered a few words in his throat that Li Ke couldn't hear, and took a deep breath.
In this moment, he seemed to see something.
So he lowered his head and looked at Li Ke.
"Then let's help Jennifer take charge of this family...... With her help, you will be able to show your worth well and move to a higher place ......"
When the lord said this, the whole person was like a deflated ball, looking a little decadent and helpless.
“…… Forget it, you just don't say anything, go ahead, stay with my daughter...... Li Ke, she will be a good woman and a good head of the family. ”
Li Ke obediently stood up and walked to the door, to Jennifer's room.
But just as he was about to leave, the lord suddenly spoke.
"Help her pass on the Jon family, okay?"
Li Ke turned his head, looked at the lord who was panting, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and nodded.
"In the Name of the Light......
He slowly closed the door, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, disappearing into the eyes of the lord, but his answer was still clear.
“…… I will. ”
