The disciple of the legendary magician Gandalf, the youngest magic bachelor in the Roland Continent Magic Guild, the eldest son of the Emperor's ** Heavy Minister, and the legal heir of the Roland family of the martial arts family (although he has been snubbed, at least the Earl has not officially announced the news of the abolition of other lands) - on top of this series of titles that are already considered dazzling, and now there is an even more awe-inspiring aura: the first committee member of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and from the perspective of position, he is still the most important one!

If nothing else, although he has no direct authority to give orders as a commissioner, if there is a conflict of opinion between the Imperial government and the Magic Guild in the committee, or if there is some official order or something like that, from the side of Du Weidi, his words can almost play a decisive role.

One vote for sure, or one vote for the veto!

Once the Academy of Magic is established, it will completely change the thousand-year-old tradition of the magic union monopolizing the power of magicians on the continent, promote the magic culture, and increase the number of magicians in the entire group (although the improvement of quality is still a question), but this alone is enough to push the young Young Master Du Wei to a cusp.

"I just want to know why you're telling me the news now." Du Wei looked at his silent father: "I know, before today, you originally planned to wait until after the Xia rì festival to tell me the news, right? Oh, no, no, let me guess, maybe you didn't think to tell me in person, such a big news. I'm afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will personally announce it in public at the Xia rì festival ceremony, this is enough sensation.

"The earth is right." Count Raymond nodded, looking deeply at his son, he saw a trace of indifference in his son's eyes. This trace of indifference, in fact, when he returned from triumph, he noticed it from his son's eyes.

Count Raymond sighed: "I won't answer you this question yet, my son, before we do that, we need to have a good and honest talk!

"As you wish." Du Wei shrugged his shoulders and smiled with a three-point sneer.

Count Raymond appropriately "ignored" the mockery in Du Wei's tone, he looked at Du Wei with a solemn expression, and then suddenly said coldly: "You are my son, this is an unchangeable fact, no one can change it: you, a member of the Rollin family!"

“...... It's the ground." Du Wei was silent for a moment and nodded.

"The establishment of the magic academy this time involves such a huge force in the future.Such a major matter, you must understand, now not only you have been pushed to the cusp, but also in an embarrassing situation, but also the entire Rollin family, and myself!" Count Raymond's tone was very serious: "Yes, as His Majesty the Emperor himself, or the chairman of the Magic Union, they have recognized you as the most suitable candidate to buffer the contradictions between the two sides. You seem to represent the common interests of both sides, and you are the most suitable middleman.No wise politician will try to exacerbate the contradictions, because that would be too dangerous, and you will not insure yourself of huge losses and opponents until you are sure enough! And now, His Majesty the Emperor and the president of the Magic Guild are all thinking that in this case, everyone needs you to exist as a person, and you can appropriately ease the contradictions between everyone.Create a delicate balance in the conflict, so that you are in your placeIt won't be shaken in the short term.It's a good thing for you.But ......"

Du Wei was very smart, he immediately understood what his father meant, and before Count Raymond could finish speaking, he had already sighed and said, "But for the Rollin family, it is a very bad thing, do you mean so?"

"That's right!" Count Raymond's face sank, "Because of your existence, you have dragged the family to an extremely dangerous point!"

Du Wei Moran.

"You are my son, no matter what, you represent a part of the Rollin family! Now you should remember what I said to you the day you came back, right here, right in this room?"

After listening to his father's question, Du Wei did not hesitate and immediately replied: "I remember that when you were here, you said to me, 'Starting today, you have returned to dìdū, and your every move represents the Rollin family'.

At the end, Du Wei glanced at his father deeply, and the eyes were not sharp, but Count Raymond couldn't help but turn his face slightly, as if avoiding his son's gaze.

After pondering for a while, the Earl sighed: "This is exactly the reason! The Rollin family is loyal to the royal land, no matter what the circumstances, the Rollin family is the guardian of the Roland royal family.Our family is glorious.All the land power, the entire family foundation, are tightly dependent on the Roland Empire's thorn flower banner! And now, in our family, there is such a marginal figure as you...... Indeed, your appearance is an existence recognized by His Majesty the Emperor and the President of the Magic Guild....... Under such circumstances, do you think His Majesty the Emperor will continue to believe in me as he did in the past, and will he still believe in the Rollin family as he did in the past?"

Du Wei didn't think much about this question, and he quickly shook his head.

Answer: Obviously no!

The Rollin family has produced such a guy who has a deep "enemy camp" mark on his body, so as the emperor of the empire, that old man who is stubborn and self-serving, and who is happy to achieve great achievements, will definitely have a trace of suspicion and even disgust towards the Rollin family.

What is a leader's land? The land is the absolute loyalty of his subordinates to his own land, and the absolute and unreserved loyalty! In this way, the subordinates will be liked by the majority of leaders, and in this way, the subordinates will be trusted by the majority of leaders!

But now, the Rollin family has produced its own guy, although it is a "two-faced person" who has been tacitly acquiesced, but it has already made the emperor have a trace of doubts about the loyalty of the Rollin family.

Even if the emperor trusted Count Raymond again, and now Count Raymond actually raised such a son who was "leaning" to the forces of the hostile camp, it was enough to make the emperor have a little bad feeling towards Count Raymond.

Your own sons have become members of the Wizards' Guild, do you still want to continue to gain unreserved trust from me?

Perhaps, unless you are a leader of the great man level, you can have that kind of inclusive mind, but unfortunately it is very ...... The current Emperor Augustine VI does not seem to be like this!

"And you don't know ...... His Majesty the Emperor, his health has not been as good as before in the past two years, and he has become very irritable and withdrawn in recent years. There was a trace of worry hidden between the eyebrows of Count Raymond: "And what is even more unfortunate is that you must have read so many history books, and you should also know that every emperor will consciously suppress some military and powerful figures before he dies, on the one hand, it is a deterrent, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the situation of strong ministers and weak lands after his death

When the emperor wants to suppress a military minister to demonstrate, who will he choose?"

Du Wei replied in a deep voice, "It should be us."

"Yes, it's not true." Count Raymond smiled bitterly: "According to the current situation, to be precise, you will be co-opted or even promoted by Your Majesty...... And the entire Rollin family will be faintly suppressed.You are involved in the affairs of the Magic Academy, and the emperor does not dare to provoke you, and he is worried that you, a two-faced person, will completely fall to the Magic Union.So you may get some benefits, but the Rollin family will suffer some losses.Politically, this is not the reason why I am worried.After all, as long as you are still a member of the Magic Academy, then the emperor will not go too far.After all, it depends on your ground.I am worried about the long-term!"

Du Wei understood that his father's worries were right.

The image of the Rollin family has always been the core of the aristocratic family closely united around the royal family, and it is one of the pillars of the empire and the trusted martial arts family of the royal family...... But all of this is built on a fine tradition: centuries of allegiance to the royal family.

But now, Du Wei, a "semi-traitor", and in such a major matter, it is enough to greatly discount the image of the Rollin family's absolute loyalty, and it has become a stain.

"Actually, the emperor doesn't have to do anything else, just wait for the Magic Academy to finish...... After all, you can't be in charge of this forever, as long as you leave this position, then the Rollin family will really be in trouble, and we don't even need the emperor to deliberately suppress us, as long as the royal family hates us in their hearts and no longer trusts us...... Losing the trust of the royal family, the decline of the Rollin family is not far off!" Count Raymond smiled bitterly: "This is the problem that worries me the most."

Du Wei looked at his father: "Since you have already thought so clearly, then you must have thought of a countermeasure, right?"

"It's the ground." Count Raymond's face was ugly: "To gain the trust of the royal family again...... In other words, there is only one way to gain the emperor's 'renewed' trust, and that is to make meritorious contributions! Make meritorious contributions to the heavens and the earth, so that the imperial family will be grateful to us and trust us again! But now that there is nothing peaceful on the mainland, there is no war, and it is impossible for a martial artist like us to make meritorious contributions. Therefore, if we want to make meritorious contributions, there is only one way......

“...... Stand." Du Wei sighed again.

He's got it.

For an emperor, what is the greatest credit, and what courtiers like the most?

The greatest merit is to support him! The favorite courtier is the courtier who supports him as the emperor!

"For the current Emperor, His Majesty, that old fellow, I don't have much hope, my greatest hope is pinned on the Prince's Land, as long as we succeed in supporting a prince to ascend the throne and win the battle for the throne, then we can win the gratitude and trust of the new Emperor! This great achievement is the guarantee for the long-term development of the Rollin family in the future!" Count Raymond looked at his son with deep eyes.

Du Wei didn't know how many times he sighed today, but he still looked at his father helplessly: "Support, the land is indeed the best way to do it at present, although it is a big gamble, but if the bet wins, then the benefits of the land will also be huge...... I just don't know, which prince are you betting on?"

"The Great Prince."

After listening to his father's answer, although Du Wei had already guessed it, he still couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.

The eldest prince, it should be the people who sent someone to assassinate Prince Chen last night.

But it seems that he and Prince Chen came together again last night.

At this moment, Du Wei suddenly felt a little guilty. It seems that his existence has really brought a lot of trouble to the Rollin family.

If it didn't exist by itself, then the Rollin family would not have been sandwiched in the establishment of this magic academy......

In this way, he is really a scourge to the Rollin family.

It is his own existence that has made the family fall into this embarrassing situation.

"Father, in your opinion, in the battle for the throne, the eldest prince has more advantages than the prince Chen? I spent the night with the prince last night, and I think this person is ......" Before Du Wei finished speaking, Count Raymond had already interrupted him: "Prince Chen is young and intelligent, and his intelligence is admirable....... He's so young!"

Count Raymond shook his head: "The eldest prince is the son of the earth born by His Majesty when he was in his twenties, and he is already fifty years old this year. Almost all of them were close friends or old acquaintances who grew up with the eldest prince back then, and there were even many friends who had been good friends since they were young! And Prince Chen was too young! Even in the Northwest War more than 20 years ago, the eldest prince had participated in the preparation of the war, and even went to the front in person. The Great Prince's efforts in the past thirty years have not been in vain, although the Prince Chen has obtained the palace magician and the inner court secret guard, but in terms of overall strength, it is too far behind."

Although he admired Prince Chen, he believed in his father's vision, and this important minister of the empire who had been in the political arena for half his life must be a hundred times better than he knew a little about the situation.

Du Wei thought for a while, then glanced at his father, his eyes were very calm: "Father, I think I understand what you mean."

"It's good to understand." Count Raymond sighed: "On the day you came back, I asked Alpha to tell you not to go out and walk around...... Alas, alas, you didn't listen, I should have told you these lands myself, but ......" At this, a very complicated light flowed through Count Raymond's eyes.

Du Wei looked at his father, although his eyes were calm, but such calmness made people feel even more uneasy.

After a long time, Du Wei said in a low voice: "Father, can I ask you a question? I hope you can tell me the true answer to this question, no matter what the answer is, I am willing to accept it!"

“...... You ask." Count Raymond's voice seemed a little bitter.

"On my way to dìdū." Du Weidi's voice was steady, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs: "Those who assassinated me ......"

Before Du Wei finished speaking, a trace of determination flashed in Count Raymond's eyes: "Don't ask, I sent it."

Du Wei had already guessed this answer, but at this moment he was surprised to find that he did not have the slightest anger and resentment in his heart, looking at his father in front of him, this earl. Du Wei suddenly felt that there was only an empty feeling in his heart, and even this emptiness made him unable to arouse a trace of resentment!

He didn't even ask "why".

Hum...... Do you need to ask?

When he returned that day, the Earl had already given the answer in a veiled way.

At that time, the Count of Raymond said, "Because of this robe on you!"

This robe, the robe of the Wizard Ground! Because you have become a magician! Your arrival will drag the family into a fierce vortex!

For the sake of the family's safety, this son can only be sacrificed! As long as there is no Dewey Rollin family, there is no need to be caught between the royal family and the magic union!

Compared to the future of the whole family, what is a son?

Looking at the calm and almost dead silence on the face of his eldest son, Count Raymond's heart suddenly shuddered...... This boy in front of him, this young man with calm eyes, is his own son!

Knowing the news that his father was originally going to kill him, he was so calm?

Is it hate? Or is it hateful to the extreme, already numb?

"Dewey." Count Raymond suddenly mustered all his strength and said loudly, "There are two things that I have not deceived you...... The first thing is that I did prevent you from being summoned back to Dìdū, and even tried to delay it, but unfortunately in the end I couldn't resist the pressure from the royal family and the magic union......! I tell you, I banished you to the Lorraine Plains because I really wanted to protect you, you are my son, even if I thought you were mediocre and incompetent, I hope you can live a life in peace and prosperity in your hometown!

For a long time, as if a century had passed, Du Wei slowly raised his head and looked at his father's face.

At this moment, this martial artist who has been in the political arena of the empire for many years, the emperor ** fang and the land giant, but he seems to be really old.

Du Wei suddenly smiled, his smile was so calm, and then he looked at his father, and said in a calm tone: "Then, father, let me tell you one thing too...... I don't hate you."

After saying this, Du Wei bent down deeply and bowed to his father, then turned around and pushed the door to leave the study.Just when he just stepped out of the door of the study, he suddenly stood again, he didn't look back, just turned his back to Count Raymond, and his voice floated slowly: "There is one more thing, I think you will know it soon, but I would like to remind you first...... He has a magical artifact in his hand, and it seems to be able to summon a powerful magical creature.

These words made Count Raymond's face change slightly!

After saying this, Du Wei really left, and left his father's study without looking back.

Leaving the heavy courtyard of Count Raymond's study, Du Wei felt as if his chest was blocked by something, and when he breathed, he felt the heaviness in his chest, and he walked slowly in the Earl's Palace, looking up at the sky.

"This life is really lonely as snow...... Hehe, but alas, it's summer, and if you want to see the snow, I'm afraid the only way to go to the frozen forest."

At this moment, Du Wei suddenly missed everything in the frozen forest!

At least in that place where there are murderous monsters everywhere, it seems that he is the most fulfilling and happiest place after he came to this world.

Whether it is the old magician Gandalf, or Hussein, as well as the Dardanelles of the Liszt family, and the men of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group who have finally ventured for a living...... There's a tough workout, there's an adventurous life, there's a cold and snowy field, camping in the snowy forest, drinking liquor to ward off the cold, riding a monster and running...... At least there, there are still a group of life and death companions by my side who let me trust!!

Although dìdū is prosperous, it is not my hometown!

Perhaps human beings, the earth, the heavens, and the earth, all had a hint of evasion, and when Du Wei was lonely in his heart at the moment, he walked aimlessly, and when he raised his head, he suddenly found that he had unknowingly arrived at the inner mansion of the Earl's Palace.

In front of me, a tall girl dressed as a maid was approaching, it was the maid of the mother countess, and when she saw Du Wei from a distance, she had already bent down, and then when Du Wei walked in front of her, she smiled: "Madame is asking me to look for you, I heard that you didn't come back all night last night, and Madame didn't sleep all night."

Du Wei smiled and walked in.

The Countess was born into a famous aristocratic family, and it is said that when she was young and unmarried, she was like many girls from aristocratic families.

At this moment, when Du Wei walked into the courtyard, he saw his mother standing beside a bush of flowers, and the Countess was still as beautiful as ever, dressed in a pale purple robe, standing beside the roses in full bloom, but the delicate flowers had lost some of their brilliance.

The Countess was quietly looking at the flowers in front of her, but she seemed to be in a trance.

Du Wei walked over and said with a soft smile: "Mother, are you admiring the flowers? Or are you thinking about painting in your heart? These summer flowers are blooming so gorgeously, why don't you record their beauty on the drawing board, and when winter comes, take them out and enjoy them.

The Countess turned to look at her son, and there was a hint of worry on her beautiful countenance:

"Du Wei, come here, I heard that your father called you when you came back...... He was very upset last night, did he punish you again just now?"

Du Wei shook his head and just smiled quietly.

The Countess sighed, walked away from the flowers, came to her son's side, and then gently put her arms around Du Weidi's shoulders, and said softly, "Your father has been in a bad mood lately...... I know that the burden of the family has been on his shoulders for decades, and although I rarely ask him, after all, I can also hear some rumors in the dìdū, and it seems that the family has been in some trouble recently......"

As she spoke, the beautiful Countess stared at her son quietly, and then raised her hand slightly, as if waving a trace of dust on Du Wei's forehead, and frowned: "Where did you go last night, and the clothes on your body are dirty."

Of course, Du Wei wouldn't say that he almost hung up in a big battle with a powerful undead black mage last night, but just smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just messing around with friends."

"Well, you finally have a friend, and I'm relieved." The Countess smiled softly and gently stroked Du Wei's face, Du Wei felt his mother's fingers, warm and delicate, and couldn't help but feel a softening in his heart, and he heard the Countess whisper to herself: "You are my son, and my first son, although some words are said to be a little unfair to Gabriel...... However, during the three years of your father's expedition, you were the only one by my side in the family, in fact, in my heart

I have been loving you a little more."

Du Wei was silent, just looking at his mother.

"Du Wei, can I ask you for something?" the countess sighed softly, and this sigh faintly came into Du Weidi's ears like a grudge, and people couldn't help but feel soft in their hearts for the sorrow in the heart of this beautiful woman.

"Mother, tell me." Du Wei smiled: "Any wish you wish is the will of the Supreme God to me!"

"Shhhhh......h

Oh...... I almost forgot that my mother was a devout believer. Du Wei sighed inwardly that his mother was still kneeling in the temple and praying for herself all night during the night of his great illness when he was young.

After a pause, the countess looked at her son, with a hint of pleading in her voice: "Du Wei, in fact, I know that you are not what others say, you are my son, I love you, and I know you very well...... I don't know why, but your father and son have always been at odds, and I know it....... Your father is very worried, and I am very worried...... Du Wei, now at home, your brother is only eight years old, a young child, only you can help your father share his worries.After all, you are talking about my blood, and it is also the blood of the Rollin family...... Can you help him more......"

At the end, the countess's voice was already pleading softly, and her eyes were full of expectation.

Looking at the mother in front of him, Du Wei suddenly remembered that when he was young, she came to her bedroom at night in a nightgown, barefoot, singing that beautiful and melodious song, and accompanied herself to sleep.

"Mother......" Du Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "For you, I am willing to do anything, even if it is to challenge the gods!

The boy stood in front of his mother, his voice seemingly calm, but unusually resolute!

The beautiful Countess was smiling, and she looked at her son with relief in her eyes, but, gently and kindly, she did not know what kind of heaviness and pain her heart was carrying at this moment, the son she loved most deeply.

Xia Rì was empty, but Du Wei felt that his heart was like an abyss!

In this chapter, I would like to express some of the family aspects of kinship, and there is no doubt that in such a family, the family should be complex, and perhaps even unhappy.

I've been thinking about it for a long time, and this chapter is writing very slowly and hard, but now I feel that I can describe everything I can, and as for the effect, I think I wrote what I wanted to express, this difficulty, maybe not enough yy and cool, but I hope it is moving.

Finally, "Xia rì is empty, and the heart is like an abyss." I finished smoking a cigarette before I typed it out on the keyboard with difficulty.
