"Barton, do you know what you're talking about?"

Hearing the man's words, the old man's tone suddenly became cold and hard.

The man said without flinching: "You said before that the current Waddenberg is mine, and you shouldn't come out to point fingers." I have a lot of respect for you, but I think it's important for you to be aware of where you are. We are no match for the Scorpion Society at all!"

"Are you prepared to sacrifice your sister and her children for this?" asked the old man coldly.

Barton snorted: "My sister, didn't you order the permanent expulsion of Wadenberg when she eloped with that damn Jack and joined our rival Scorpion Society? ”

"Father, I beg you to go out and have a look, and not to spend all day in your study giving orders. Barton's tone slowed slightly, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction:

"The current golden lion is extremely weak. We don't have the capital to compete with them!"

When he had said this, he stood there and looked at the old man steadily.

The old man was silent, and even the movement of his index finger tapping on the table stopped.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice:

"You go out first. ”

With a look of disappointment in his eyes, Barton walked out indignantly, slamming the door as he left the study.

A hint of helplessness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sat there quietly. Suddenly whispered, "It's a surprise, isn't it?"

On the other side of the study, Monica walked out with the child in her arms. Her face was full of pain, and she said in disbelief:

"I didn't know that the changes here have been so huge. ”

The changes she was talking about were twofold, on the one hand, the weakening of the Golden Lion, and there was no second-level wizard in the entire organization who could compete with the Flower Scorpion Society, and on the other hand, there was a change in people's hearts. The brother who was unusually kind in her memory, although the two broke up for Jack's matter, she didn't expect it. He was actually ready to send his child out to the Flower Scorpion Society.

At this moment. Her heart was filled with frustration.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come back. Monica hugged the child in her arms tightly, and after only a few days, the child had obviously grown up a lot. She could barely hold it anymore.

"You should be back. This is your home. The old man said lightly: "It was my fault at the beginning, about your expulsion order." I canceled it five years ago. ”

Hear this. Monica looked up at her father in disbelief.

This stubborn and proud old man. It's almost impossible to start admitting your mistake to yourself!

Any wizard in the Black Lands knew that the young Golden Lion was a genius, but he was also a stubborn fellow. He never bowed to anyone. His temper is as strong as his mana, he is the proudest wizard, and once a decision is made, no one can convince him.

And now, he would apologize to his daughter for the decision he made that year, which was too shocking for Monica.

She looked at her father in a daze, the years had left too many traces on his body. He had grown much older than she remembered.

She and Jack had come back once after the dragon invasion, but they were chased out by the enraged old man. She never returned to Waldenberg since. In her memory, her father had always been the proud and powerful wizard, with a cold face all the time, strict and rigid in dealing with people, especially to his children.

So when she disobeyed Lauchlen's order and eloped with Jack of the Scorpion Society, Lauchran was furious and threatened to sever the father-daughter relationship with her.

She never regretted her decision, after all, she loved Jack deeply. But when she was desperate, she found out that the only person who decided to contain herself was the old man who expelled her in front of everyone.

At that time, she deeply realized that in this world, this stubborn old man is the man who loves her the most.

Her lips trembled slightly, and after a while, she said in a trembling voice: "Father......"

The old man smiled with delight, and the dark clouds between his brows seemed to dissipate in an instant.

He stretched out his hand and said unquestioningly, "Let me see him." ”

Monica handed the child over. The old man clumsily hugged the child and looked into his eyes with a thoughtful look.

"He's going to be a genius. Laughlan sighed and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone snatch him from you." ”

"It's like I'm never going to let anyone snatch you away from me again. ”

Monica picked up the child again in a daze, and watched the stubborn old man slowly stand up. He walked to the window, and from this angle he could see every corner of Waldenburg.

The wizards were in a hurry, some trying to leave, others joining.

He looked at it for a moment before he sighed and said, "Maybe Waldenberg is no longer prosperous." ”

"But the villains of the Flower Scorpion Society must not have thought that the golden lion ...... Or the golden lion of the year. ”

He raised his head slightly, although his figure was much more rickety, but the sun shone in through the window, and the wisps of golden light ignited his sideburns.

He stood there like a lion in his twilight years, lazily combing his fur.

It looks very gentle, but the restrained killing intent is always a reminder to the maned dogs who want to approach, and hidden under the thick fluff are still sharp claws.

......

"Henry, I have long advised you not to ignore the warnings of the Flower Scorpion Society. ”

On the mountain road, a wizard shouted. The staff in his hand was raised high, and a little bit of frost began to coalesce.

It took 3.5 seconds for an ice pick to slowly take shape and pour out.

The icicle smashed into the head of a hydra, but only three of the heads were shattered, and the remaining one was still intact.

Approximately two meters tall, the hydra is very bloated and massive, covered in skin as hard as a mountain wall, with the only brain being the most vulnerable.

However, the number of heads of the hydra monster is large, often between three and five. Trying to destroy these hydras is not an easy task for them as wizards.

The hydra screamed and strode towards the spellcaster.

"Be careful, Wren. Quickly step back. In the center of the procession, a white-robed wizard immediately shouted loudly.

The staff in his hand emitted a violent white light that held most of the hydra at bay, preventing them from stepping forward to harm them. However, it is very unrealistic to try to destroy the hydra with this spell alone.

Wren complained loudly: "Henry, if you don't want to come up with a solution, we will have to retreat." ”

The white-robed wizard replied, holding his staff aloof, "I'm trying to think. ”

Wren trotted all the way, and finally managed to dodge the hydra's attack with good dexterity, and rushed all the way to Henry's white light barrier.

After a while, the remaining multi-headed monsters immediately surrounded them, and the white light stimulated them not to step forward, but they were not willing to retreat like this.

"It's not the way to go on like this, everyone should use their own spells to attack the key points of the hydra. Wren grumbled in the white light barrier.

"But once we get out of Henry's barrier, we become very vulnerable. Our defensive spells are simply vulnerable to the strength of the Hydra. ”

A sorceress in a flowered skirt reminded, "It would be nice if we could cast spells in the barrier, we could attack the hydra through the barrier." ”

"It can't be. Henry shook his head and said, "My barrier has a forbidden demon field, and no one can use spells here." ”

"Then we'll have to find a way to retreat. The flower skirt said helplessly.

The rest of the people were also depressed. These people, with the exception of Wren and Henry, were only at the level of elementary apprentices. They are all wizards from the Silver Light, who are usually friends, and they are attracted by the rewards of this mission, and they make an appointment to go to Waldenburg together. It's just that I didn't expect that before I entered Waldenberg, I was warned by the iron crow of the Flower Scorpion Society.

They ignore the crows' warnings, and as a result, the noisy bunch attracts a bunch of hydras and traps them in trouble. These hydras are also monsters of the Scorpion Society's servants, and after years of improvement by the scorpion society's wizards, this new type of hydra has been greatly strengthened, becoming very highly resistant to magic, and is the natural enemy of wizards.

Only by killing every head of the hydra can these monsters be truly killed. They tried once and killed a hydra, but in the process, they nearly lost a wizard. This left the rest of the people without the courage to leave Henry's barrier again, and Wren's attempt just now was also the last.

Several people looked at each other and began to think about countermeasures to get out.

However, at this time, Wren suddenly blurted out: "Hey, look, someone is coming again!"

Everyone looked at it, and a young man in civilian clothes with a bow and arrows on his back walked out of the forest. This guy has brown hair and is very young.

"Hey, get out of the way! these monsters are dangerous!" Wren shouted at the boy.

However, the young man stopped, glanced at them, and walked over this way.

"Is this a mortal?" said the flower skirt in surprise, "is it a hunter in the mountains?"

"Judging by the way you dress, it's probably so. Henry also said a little anxiously: "He should probably be trying to save us." ”

"Save us, a mortal trying to save a group of wizards?, isn't that a joke a little too funny!?" another junior apprentice couldn't help but say, "I guess it's just a greedy hunter, thinking there's something to take advantage of here." ”

At this moment, the two hydra monsters sensed the arrival of the boy and immediately surrounded him.

"Damn, it's dangerous!" Wren couldn't help but shout.

He stepped out of Henry's barrier.

The boy raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at the hydra that was coming towards him. (To be continued......)
