190 Hope
"The Trial Chamber removed me from my position. Zhan Huashi put down the letter, and his face was a little strange.
"Dismissal?" Penny was also a little puzzled: "Teacher...... Somewhat incomprehensible...... This. ”
In his mind, isn't this kind of secret organization impossible to break away from except death?
"I'm also a little hard to understand. Jan Huashi frowned and picked up another letter: "News from Eltabo......"
He took a deep breath: "You want us to leave the affairs of the north and wait here." ”
"Wait?" Penny was even more confused, "Is this what the family means?"
"Not bad...... They seemed to know something, but they didn't say it explicitly...... Jenhuas's expression became a little gloomy: "I feel like it's the worst......"
"It's not bad. Penny smiled reluctantly, "Teacher, Lord Neveron has at least said that he will not pursue you. ”
In which world is this kind of thing, before the new person in power has dealt with it, of course, it has to be mysterious.
The vague attitude of the family, this inexplicable letter, at least shows that there is a great upheaval in places that they cannot reach.
Penny knew almost immediately that his hunch had once again come to the worst.
The chief necromancer, who had ruled Searle for more than two hundred years, was planted in the gutter.
If Sazastan was safe, then Zhan Huashi would naturally not receive such a letter, and after Neveron came to power, he did not send someone to kill Zhan Huashi directly, but sent this letter, indicating that the chief of the spell department magnanimously let go of his little shrimp.
This is corroborated by the letter from Eltabor, and hints at what he survived for.
Of course, if James Wash and Penny didn't know the inside story, they would probably only be inexplicable for a while, but after knowing the inside story, everything was clear in front of them.
The Great War is imminent, and with the Giant God Soldier and the head of the Mullans sent by Penny to find a reason for the war, Neveron will naturally not alienate the great Fras because of one or two small feet.
Judging the fact that Sazakstan was planted in the gutter, both Penny and Jhanwalsh were a little incredulous in their hearts.
One of the most powerful and cunning spellcasters of this Faeron planted?
Penny raised an eyebrow, feeling something was wrong.
But Neveron's behavior undoubtedly confirms this.
"What are we going to do?" Penny thought about the future, "Teacher, it's Lord Neveron in power now. ”
"As you say, he at least said he wouldn't hold me accountable. Zhan Huashi flipped through the letter in his hand: "There is also a message from Eltabo, I'm afraid we can't leave it again for the time being." ”
"Can't live without?" Penny was apprehensive, thinking about it.
"You know, the position that Lifar is going to hold. ”
Penny nodded.
Chief of Logistics of the Southern Corps.
Now he ...... Belch. Zhan Huashi glanced at the culprit of the murder a few times, pulled the corners of his mouth and said nothing: "So someone must be chosen to replace him." ”
Penny looked at his teacher and motioned to listen.
"If you're right, it's likely that the forces under the Nyveron Lords are doing their best to clean up the people in Selshan, so this choice has fallen to us. "They need someone who understands the situation in the south, who can't be too high or too low, and who can meet their common interests," James said. ”
Penny's expression grew weird.
"So we have to stay here. James Wath spread his hands: "Lord Andrea and Lord Justieri have vouched for you, and Lord Mithrila has already nodded in this matter, since this letter has been sent, it means that the above things are probably almost cleared." ”
Penny's face stiffened.
Misrila, the leader of the Illusion School of the Red Robe Mage, is the highest-ranking person in the Flas lineage.
She has spoken, so the people below, if they refuse, they must think about it first.
Although she rarely participated in the battle between the chiefs, no one dared to ignore the power and authority of the female red robe.
"Me?" Penny pointed to his nose in disbelief.
"Yes, it's you. Zhan Huashi looked at his disciple, his expression was satisfied with a little worry: "You already have your real name, and your progress can be ranked in the top five in a hundred years of Serge, you will eventually become Searle's amazement, my student, in fact, I didn't want this at first, I prefer that you can end your life in a position that is neither high nor low, as a red-robed mage, there is nothing happier than that ending." ”
"Actually, I would rather be able to take you to Ximen for retirement now, dear teacher. Penny smiled bitterly: "I feel like I'm going to die at any time at home, and you're out of the court anyway, aren't you?" ”
"Pension?!hmm. The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows: "If other disciples say that, I will definitely think that he wants to kill me and replace him." ”
"I'm out of my mind, Teacher. Penny shrugged, and while Jhanworth's words sounded a bit fanciful, it wasn't weird logic in Searle.
This is the relationship between most of the red-robed mages in this country, even if it is a master and an apprentice.
"Pension ......" Zhan Huashi sighed softly: "From the moment I entered the courtroom, I thought that I was insulated from this word. ”
"Mentor, why did you join the Inquisition?" Penny frowned.
He didn't think that someone with a surname like Zhan Huashi would take the initiative to join such a shady organization.
"Revenge. The middle-aged man said lightly a reason that surprised Penny but was not surprised.
Penny raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and nodded, there really is no more reasonable reason than this.
"I'm a very dull person, when I first entered the academy, I didn't have the intelligence of you, and if it weren't for this reason to support my patience, I would have collapsed long ago. "My home is northeast of Ser, you should know what the climate is like there, there are scattered mage towers all over Ser, and there are fixed red-robed mages in them to add arcane powers to guide and change the local weather, if you don't do that, the climate in those places will make the land ungrown, and my parents are farmers." ”
Penny imagined for a moment, nodded, and listened to the middle-aged man's story.
"You have to know what kind of red-robed mages are who will be assigned to work in that kind of place. Zhan Huashi spread his hands: "If it is not a hermit who is afraid of being affected by the struggle, or a person who loses the fight with other red robes, and then runs to these remote areas to avoid trouble, unfortunately, when I was six years old, the red robe who was in charge of managing the mage tower there there was such a disaster avoider who lost the political battle, according to the news I heard later, at that time, his backers were all dead, and he hid there under the protection of a user, and his magic talent was also average, and there was basically no future in Ser, so ...... ”
"So what?" asked Penny, urging to listen.
"Alcoholism, drowsiness, marijuana, abuse of slaves, and even civilians inferior to him, anyway, the place is remote, no one cares about him, and no one will care about him. "So that year the operation of the Mage Tower was very strange, in the autumn all the peasants were crying against the dry river fields, the slaves were starving to death, the commoners were fleeing, and my parents and brothers lost their lives in the process. ”
Penny was silent, he could imagine the pain and hatred in Jenvah's heart at that time.
This kind of hatred is obviously unjustifiable if it cannot be retaliated.
"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be picked up by a wandering red-robed mage, he is really my benefactor, although he was cruel to me, but he didn't really hurt me, and also let me know how to survive in the red-robed mage society, but unfortunately his status is not high, and he can't let me get the power I want. Zhan Huashi sighed: "Later, I knew how difficult it was to meet such a teacher in the Red Robe Mage Society, but in the year I graduated, he died in an experimental accident, I don't know if anyone did anything in the process of his experiment, who knows? ”
"And then, as you know, I worked hard to learn spells, well, I know very well that I have limited talent in this area, and see, even you have caught up with me now......" He looked at Penny with a proud expression, "I'm proud of you. ”
Penny blushed a little.
"So I didn't let myself go, I tried my best to get into the camp, and finally I caught up with the then Osya, hmm. Speaking of this, there was a hint of amusement on his face: "You don't know, he was one of the best red-robed mages of our age at that time, beautiful and powerful, and he had that peaceful surname...... Hey, of course Master Justeri wouldn't give her to me, a poor boy of mediocre talent...... Eventually, I married Celine, her sister. ”
Penny's cheeks twitched twice, and he finally knew where the extraordinary intimacy between James and Oseia came from.
"Three years later, I entered the court, and finally had the power to take revenge, you know, if you use the means of a secret agent, how simple it is to kill a red-robed mage with no power, no power, no background and no future, and after a while......"
When he said this, his expression suddenly fell silent.
"And then?"
And then ...... I found the man's grave ......" Zhan Huashi looked a little disappointed. ”
The only audience member twitched the corners of his mouth twice, and he could probably imagine the mood of Zhan Huashi at that time.
The degree of dog blood in this section is indeed very high, but the mental trauma that this kind of dog blood bridge has given to Zhan Huashi can be imagined.
"Well, I was in a deep confusion at that time, and I returned to Dehumi in confusion, Celine had just died, Oseya had a husband, and everyone around me treated me coldly - maybe it had always been, but I didn't pay attention to it when I was chasing revenge, but that feeling was never as clear as it was then, and I immediately felt that my life had lost its meaning of existence, if there was no purpose in life, no one cared about you, why did you survive?" the middle-aged man sighed: " Thankfully, I still have a daughter, she is my only reason for survival, and although she treats me coldly, I still occasionally watch her grow up from a distance, and there is nothing more warm for me than that scene, and I began to understand that people live to find happiness. ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Fortunately, I still have her." ”
Penny was silent.
"I've seen many apprentices, maybe the environment of the Red Robe Mage Society is trying to brainwash them into thinking that the pursuit of power and power is the only way to happiness, and the class will guarantee their rights, perhaps, if all the Red Mages think so, it will be progressive for Searle, but if that time really comes, I can't imagine what my world will become. Jonwald sighed, "And Searle's confusion seems to show the absurdity and failure of this method, so you don't know how happy I was when I found out that you were an alien." At my age, it's no longer important what I'm doing in life, it's more important to practice my own outlook on life, well, in other words, methodology, okay......"
He looked at Penny, who was silent, "I have said everything you want to know, I know what you think, but we can't go against the will of Mistress Mithria, tomorrow she will send a spokesperson, let's wait a little longer." ”
Penny bowed slightly, turned and exited the room.
"Do you care for the elderly?...... The middle-aged man in the room leaned back in his chair and sighed leisurely, showing a smile of helplessness: "Hopefully." ”
