Alter was speechless for a long time, and Albert, Curt, and Salette kept thinking about what kind of decision their father would make in the end, which was not only related to the fate of the entire Elshira family, but also the fate of the three of them in the future.

The three of them looked at Ault with trepidation, as if time had frozen, but the longer the time dragged on, the more the three of them felt that the decision that Ault was about to make would be an extremely difficult choice.

The most detailed of the trio's thinking is probably Salette, who has been in business for many years and knows how to observe words and feelings, and when he saw his father hesitate for so long, it means that his opinion must have been rejected by his father, otherwise why should he think for so long.

"Is my father really going to war?" Salette thought to herself, "if not the war...... Could it be that he wants to cooperate with the Holy Cult Army!" This thought made Salette himself startled, if the Elshira family cooperated with the Holy Cult Army, it would be tantamount to betraying Correa, which means that the Elshira family will have a decisive battle with the major families of Correa, and if it succeeds, the king will lose......

"Won't you...... I hope my father doesn't make such a risky decision......" Salette silently prayed in her heart that things would not go in the direction he least wanted to see.

When Ault finally spoke, he let out a long sigh and said, "I've decided, I'm going to talk to Savin one more time." With that, Ault closed his eyes, looking very tired.

Albert and Salette's eyes widened in astonishment when they heard this simple sentence, but Curt did not respond, he sighed, stood up and was about to leave, only to find the other two sitting in their chairs dumbfounded.

It was only then that Curt realized that something seemed wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

However, neither of them answered his question, and Albert said to Aort in a slightly trembling voice, "Father, have you really decided?

Before Alt could reply, Curt exclaimed, "What? Albert, what did you say?"

Ault looked at his third son and couldn't help but shake his head, this Curt really has no talent for politics. Ault said to Curt, "Sit down, don't make a fuss!"

"Father, do you really want to cooperate with the Holy Cult Army? Isn't our Elshira family equal to ......," Curt asked impatiently as he sat down.

"I do have such a plan, but whether or not I really want to make this decision will have to wait until I have spoken to Savan, and you must not give away half a word about tonight's conversation! Otherwise, I will not spare you, whether you are my son or not!" said Ort categorically.

"Yes. The three of them replied in unison.

After the three of them left, Oult looked up at the paintings hanging on the walls in the study, most of them portraits of the former patriarchs, these deceased ancestors, one by one, seemed to be staring at him with stern eyes. Ault felt an unprecedented pressure, he didn't know if he had made the right move, and then the legacy of his ancestors seemed to linger in his ears, he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if he missed it, he would be a sorry person to hang the portrait in his study in the future.

At this time, Sawan was also looking out the window in the room in a daze, although today's move was very necessary, it was also extremely risky, and it was likely to force Ort to have no way out, so he could only compromise with King Correa, after all, it was the easiest to do so. But Sawin has no regrets, and if he doesn't work hard, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

Sawan envisioned all the possible scenarios that would follow, and if Alter were to fall to the Correa king, then he would have nothing to say and immediately go back and mobilize all his troops to fight Correa's army. But if Aort is still hesitating, how can he convince the other party to cooperate with him?

If you want to pull the El Hira family to your side, you have to put forward conditions that can make the other party excited, but what can you give the El Hira family? Money or materials, these are not lacking in the other party, honor and status, these are already on the other side, so what does the El Hira family want......

Sawin really didn't have a clue when he thought about it, and he didn't know when his thoughts ran to the castle in the middle of the lake, which he had visited during the day, and he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, the Elshira family was really full of food and had nothing to do, and they went to the lake to build a castle, I don't know what use it could be. This family actually likes to build castles so much, and it is also the legacy of their ancestors, I don't know what their ancestors thought at the beginning......

Sawin was suddenly stunned when he thought of this, he felt as if he felt something, the Elshira family has always been regarded as the number one family in force, how could such a family be full and have nothing to do to build castles and play, and their ancestors probably wouldn't be so boring, could it be that they misunderstood?

The more Sawin thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly he slapped his thigh and suddenly thought of something, and scolded himself again and again: "Sawin, you stupid, aren't these all obvious?

Sawan jumped up excitedly and walked around the room vigorously, feeling as if he had solved a big puzzle, because he finally knew what Aort wanted, and where was the basis for his cooperation with the other party!

Early the next morning, Ohort sent someone to invite Sahain, which was expected by Savin. Sawin knew that today's meeting would be the key, and whether he succeeded in convincing the other side depended on this meeting.

Aort deliberately arranged the meeting place in an unused castle, which has been idle since it was built, for more than a hundred years. When Savin arrived at the castle, he found that there were many soldiers guarding the towers, the walls, and the gates, and it was clear that Ort would not let yesterday's situation happen again.

Guided by the soldiers, Sawan came to an empty hall with only a table and two chairs, and nothing else. Standing by the window with his hands behind his back, as if looking out of the window, Sawan said to Ault, "Lord Duke, you finally have time to chat with me. ”

Ault turned his head and smiled faintly, and said, "It's really rude to be riddled with mundane things these days, and I haven't had time to talk to Lord Savan, I hope you don't have to be surprised." ”

The two of them sat down in their chairs after a few polite words, and Ault spoke first, "Lord Samhain, do you want to ask, what is your goal?"

Sawan smiled, "Naturally, for the sake of the church, to spread the light to the whole world. ”

Ault also smiled and said, "Lord Sawain, don't joke in front of me, I mean really, what is your goal?" After saying this, Aort's gaze has become very sharp.

Seeing this, Sawin also became serious, straightened his body, and replied solemnly: "I want to build a better world." ”

Ault shook his head and sighed, and said, "It seems that adults and us are indeed not the same kind of people. ”

"It's natural," Savin said, "otherwise I wouldn't have come to visit the Elshira family." However, I believe that although we are not the same type of people, at least for the time being, our goals are the same. ”

"Oh, how do you tell us about the same goal?" Ault sneered.

Savin looked around for a moment, then said, "I remember that the ancestors of the Elshira family demanded that each generation of patriarchs must build a castle, right?"

"Yes, that's why the city is full of castles. Aort didn't understand why Savan had suddenly said this.

"Then let me guess why the ancestors of the Elshira family left such a legacy. Sawan said with a smile.

"Listen to me. Oult made a gesture of please.

Sawan slowly stood up, came to the window and looked into the distance, and then said: "Because Elshira's ancestors wanted his descendants to conquer the continent, the so-called legacy of building a castle for each generation of patriarchs is to require each generation of patriarchs to expand the family's territory and urge their descendants to never forget the goal of conquering the world. ”
