The castle of Maple Leaf Manor.

He had been here more than a dozen times in the past few months, and had even spent the night in the castle's best room with his mentor.

Every time, his mood was very relaxed, but this time, his mood was heavy, and he felt pressed by a boulder, which made him can't help but solemnize his face and condense his spirit.

This is the mental pressure brought by the archmage.

The next answer will determine his future in the Yellow Water Heights.

When he came to the hall, the butler met him.

"Master Rosen, there are distinguished guests waiting for you in the Sunshine Hall on the second floor. The host lets you go alone. ”

"Got it, thank you."

Lawson took a deep breath, stepped up the steps, followed the familiar road to the second-floor corridor, walked forward for more than ten meters, turned right and climbed a small arc ladder, and saw the wooden door of the Sunshine Hall.

Reach out and knock on the door.

'Tuk Tuk~'

"Come in!"

From behind the door came the Earl's old but majestic voice, devoid of its former kindness.

This is also normal, because his actions today have touched the core interests of the Ormisia family.

To put it mildly, it almost prompted the Omihia brothers to kill each other.

The Earl had not directly rewarded him with a single shot of the moon fire, which was already a great mercy.

Of course, Rosen had long expected this scene, and he also knew that the Count would never kill him, or even punish him, at most he would just snub him, keep him away from the political situation, and focus on spells.

It was the confidence that came to him from great fame and a good knowledge of the count's character.

In other words, he now has a little wayward capital.

Gently push the door open, walk in, and gently close the door again.

As soon as it was closed, a spell barrier was generated in the small hall, completely isolating the inside and outside of the hall.

The Count sits upright on a bench with his legs folded on one side and his hands folded on his knees, in the standard lady's sitting position.

Her face was awe-inspiring, and her eyes were like frost.

"Lawson, come to me and kneel on the ground~ look into my eyes!"

The sound is like the cold wind in the north, and it makes people chill just by listening to it.

Considering that the floor of the small hall was covered with a cashmere carpet and cleanly spotless, and that the Count was not only a lord, but also a master of magic, and his elder, it was only natural that he knelt before her.

In fact, Rosen breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the elders let the juniors kneel in front of them, it is not only intended to punish, but it also means that the latter is their own.

Otherwise, instead of kneeling, he will use the mage's hand to lift the person up and press it directly against the wall to question!

Rosen took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of the Earl, put his hands on the Count's knees, and then looked up and met the Count's dark eyes.

There was a condensed light in the Earl's dark eyes, indicating that his mana was surging rapidly, and a single thought could unleash a terrifying spell of high-level power at an almost instantaneous speed!

Rosen's inky blue eyes had both the clarity of a young man and the depth of a mage, and there was not the slightest flicker in the face of the powerful mage's gaze.

After a long time, the Count spoke: "Why do you want to support Shabolai!" ”

Hearing this, Rosen's heart suddenly felt a secret relief, because the other party did not blame him for provoking the mistake of fratricide, which showed that she was also very disappointed in Fubos.

Rosen replied softly but firmly.

"Because when I was the weakest, my uncle once saved my life, and he also showed me the "Shallow Discussion on Magic Battle" you wrote."

"I was very grateful, and I told him that I would repay him greatly. And this sentence, I have always kept in mind. ”

The Count sneered.

"So, your way of repaying the favor is to push him to the opposite side of his own brother for his own selfish interests, and let their brothers kill each other?!"

Rosen shook his head: "I hope he can be the next Earl's heir, that's true, but if Vobos is really shrewd and capable, then I have nothing to say." ”

"But Voptos is not!"

"He only sees battle, he only sees victory, and he has no regard for the lives of civilians. This is evidenced by the tens of thousands of refugees outside! ”

"If such a person becomes the lord of Silvermoon Castle, he will definitely bring Silvermoon Castle to destruction!"

"Perhaps, there is a plot for my personal selfish interests, but it is also a plan for the future fate of Omixia, for Silvermoon Castle, and for the future fate of the nearly one million human races living in the entire Yellow Water Heights!"

The count's expression softened slightly, the light in his dark eyes gradually dimmed, and his voice softened a lot.

"Is that really what you think?"

Lawson nodded heavily.

"Madame, I can feel that you appreciate me very much, and you value me very much, and have helped me out of my difficulties more times."

"Without your covert help, I wouldn't be where I am now."

"Uncle Shabolai has been kind to me, and you have been so kind to me."

"And I can also confidently say that after coming to the Yellow Water Heights, I may have some personal moral flaws, but I have never done anything to damage the interests of Silvermoon Castle."

"In fact, everything I do is good for Silvermoon Castle!"

"You know that!"

The Count nodded slowly, reaching out to take Rosen's hand.

"You're right, you've done a lot of great things. Because of what you do, countless highlanders have benefited from it. ”

She sighed softly, "But you should have spoken to me in advance." ”

Rosen also sighed: "Madam, you are busy with affairs, not only to take care of the affairs of Silvermoon Castle, but also to coordinate the interests of the other five towns, and also to deal with the unreasonable demands of the envoys of Wintercastle. ”

"And I've just finished my temple mission not long ago. Soon after he returned, he became aware of the conspiracy of the Sano family and began to prepare non-stop. ”

"And before that, I had been dealing with a group of truly cold-blooded and ruthless murderers in Whitehorse."

"Damsis, the necromancer who believes in Vanderon, the Ice-Blooded Warriors who believe in the evil god Rada, and the inhuman God-given Baron."

"I have hovered between life and death many times, and I have also seen the tragic situation of countless civilians."

At this, a tear welled up in Rosen's eyes, and he stared into the earl's eyes.

He looked earnest.

"Madame, you are a benevolent and wise lord, and you should know how devastated the lives of commoners can be when a lord who is incompetent but ruthless and ruthless takes the throne."

"I used to be a civilian, and I suffered the greatest pain in the world. By your grace, I have escaped the fate of a civilian, but I cannot forget what I once experienced. ”

"I hope to do everything I can to prevent the tragedy from happening."

The Earl had no idea that Lawson would have such an experience in Whitehorse, and when he heard what he said, he felt sincere.

Because there are many nobles in this world who can say beautiful words, but if they say beautiful words at the same time, and practice them regardless of their lives, then these beautiful words are not beautiful words, but the quotations of heroes and saints!

What shocked her even more was that Rosen didn't have to do it at all.

He had every reason to refuse the temple's recruitment, but he did it anyway, which showed that everything he said was true.

No conspirator would risk his life, only heroes!

She held Lawson's hand tightly and let out a long sigh: "Lawson, do you really think Shabolai will be a good lord?" ”

Rosen shook his head: "Not yet, but I will try to persuade him." If the verbal persuasion does not move, I even plan to make him suffer a big loss, and use actual experience to persuade him. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly apologized: "Madam, I trespassed." ”

Sophia shook her head: "No, you are not arrogant, you are a genius mage, a hero who fulfills his promises, and a far-sighted wise man, you are qualified to persuade this prodigal bastard!" ”

"It is an honor to be supported and persuaded by you!"

Hearing this, Rosen knew that the count had passed the level.

He asked softly, "Is Marshal Fubos angry now, did he go to the Mochizuki Garden to complain to you?" ”

The earl nodded and snorted coldly: "Of course he is angry, because his younger brother, who has always been looked down upon, has greatly robbed him of his scenery. ”

"But what he did disappointed me a lot."

"The situation in Crescent Town didn't take place in a day or two. In fact, there were signs for a long time. I have lectured him privately many times and asked him to pay attention to his methods, but he has been in the ear! ”

"After learning about the riot, his first thought was revenge rather than the aftermath, without the consciousness of the lord!"

"If I hadn't stopped him, the devil knows what would have happened!"

"Now, knowing that my brother has cleaned up the mess, I don't want to find out the secret hand who secretly opened the city gate, but I complain to me that my brother has done too much!"

At this, the count's face was full of anger, and it was obvious that he was extremely disappointed in Vobos.

Rosen was silent.

It took a while for the Earl to calm down a little, and when he looked down at Rosen, his eyes were full of emotion: "Actually, I often think that it would be nice if you were my nephew, or even my son." ”

"In this way, I can teach you with all my might, and pour all my wisdom into you."

"I believe that you will definitely grow rapidly and become a master of magic in the Glorious Northern Realm, and even in the entire Golden Land!"

"I believe that if you can completely focus on the spell, the master of the spell may not be your end, and in the transcendent realm, your name may remain."

"It's a pity!"

It can be seen that these words are Sophia's heartfelt words

Lawson's heart was also shaken.

He couldn't help but put his head on Sophia's knee and sighed softly.

"Master Sophia, I also feel very sorry in my heart."

"If I could have met you when I was ten years old, or even five or six years old, and become your apprentice, enlightened from an early age, and focused on magic, maybe I wouldn't have been bothered by the world."

"Perhaps, I won't be a mid-level mage now, but a high-level mage."

It's a pity that fate didn't have a choice.

The two mages, one old and one young, both had a look of emotion on their faces.

After the rest of the day, Rosen fell to his knees with his head resting on the Count's knees, and the Count grasped Rosen's hand with one hand, and gently stroked his hair with the other, like a kind woman caressing her offspring.

After a long silence, the Count spoke: "I will give Shapole a chance to prove himself, but this is the last time!" ”

Rosen straightened his body and said in a condensed voice, "Master Sophia, thank you for your selfless trust in me. ”

The Count shook his head: "Don't be too happy, I'm not done." ”

Rosen was distracted, knowing that the pure spiritual communication between the mages had ended, and the earthly laws had returned.

"First of all, the mistake of Crescent Town was committed by Samler, and Samler has already paid with his life. So, I can't blame Persia too much. ”

"Vaupos is still the commander of the Second Legion, and he still has a chance to become an earl, but he has changed from the previous first in line to a two-man competition."

"I will set a floor for competition and make sure that there is no fratricide.

"But I'm not going to give Shabolai and you too much support, both to avoid a strong resistance from Fupos and to silence everyone."

"Next, the mess in Crescent Town will be all cleaned up by you."

"If the land is well enough to satisfy the lords of the Highlands, and if Chapole does reform and get rid of bad habits, then he will be the next earl."

"If it is not done well, Chapole will still be notorious, and the count will still be Vobos."

"Do you understand?"

Rosen nodded seriously: "Understood." ”

But then there was a hint of apprehension on his face: "Madam, because of today's incident, I am afraid that I have completely offended President Faerun."

As soon as he heard the name Feren, the Count snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, Silvermoon Castle is still up to me. I'll warn him that if he dares to touch you, I'll let him taste my Silver Moon Fire!" ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "But this person is good at intrigues, you have to be more careful yourself."

After receiving the archmage's assurance, Lawson's heart suddenly became calm.

"Madam, I will do my best to assist Shapole and make him a qualified high lord."

The Count stretched out his hand and gently touched Rosen's head, and once again a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Let it go, boy, I believe in you."
