."

Du Wei stopped talking. Although he admired Prince Chen very much, he believed his father's vision. This important minister of the empire who had been in the political arena for half his life must be a hundred times better than his own half-knowledge of 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."

"Just understand." Earl Raymond sighed: "The day you came back, I asked Alpha to tell you not to go out and walk around... Alas, it's a pity that you didn't listen. In fact, I should have said this to you myself.

But..." Having said this, Count Raymond's eyes flashed with an extremely complicated light.

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

After a long time, Du Wei whispered: "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!"

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

"On my way to the imperial capital." Du Wei's voice was steady, as if he was talking about someone else's business: "Those who assassinated me..."

Before Du Wei could finish speaking, Count Raymond's eyes flashed with determination: "No need to ask, I sent him."

Du Wei had already guessed this answer, but at this moment he was surprised to find that there was no anger or resentment in his heart. Looking at his father, the Earl, in front of him, Du Wei suddenly felt that there was only an empty feeling in his heart.

The feeling, even this emptiness, prevented him from arousing even a trace of resentment!

He didn't even ask "why".

Huh... do you still need to ask?

When he came back that day, the Earl had actually given the answer in a cryptic manner.

At that time, Count Raymond said: "Because of the robe you are wearing!"

This robe, the robe of a magician! Because you have become a magician! Your arrival will drag the family into a fierce whirlpool! Therefore, in order to avoid the difficult position that will bring about, and for the safety of the family, we can only sacrifice

Get rid of this son! As long as there is no Du Wei, the Luo Lin family will not be caught in the middle of the struggle between the royal family and the magic union!

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

Looking at the calm, almost lifeless expression on the face of his eldest son, Earl Raymond suddenly felt a tremor in his heart... The young man in front of him, this young man with calm eyes, is his own son!

Knowing that his father was originally planning to kill him, he was so calm?

Is it hatred? Or is it that the hatred is so extreme that it has become numb?

"Duwei." Earl Raymond suddenly summoned all his strength and said loudly: "There are two things that I did not deceive you... The first one is that I did prevent you from summoning you back to the imperial capital, and even did not

I tried my best to delay, but in the end I couldn't resist the pressure from the royal family and the Magic Guild! The second thing is... I'm telling you, I exiled you to Luolin Plains because I really wanted to protect you. You are my land

Son, even if I thought you were mediocre and incompetent at first, I still hope that you can live a stable and prosperous life in your hometown! I am not deceiving you with these words!"

After a long time, which seemed as long as a century, Du Wei slowly raised his head and looked straight at his father's face.

At this moment, this military hero who had dominated imperial politics for many years and was a giant in the imperial military seemed to be really old.

Du Wei suddenly smiled, and his smile was so calm. Then he looked at his father and said in a calm tone: "Then, father, let me tell you something. The day I come back, I will tell you

You: I don’t hate you. This sentence has not changed now. I... don’t hate you.”

After saying this, Du Wei bent down deeply and bowed to his father. Then he turned around and opened the door to leave the study. Just as he stepped out of the study door, he suddenly stopped again and did not look back. Just

With his back to Earl Raymond, his voice drifted slowly: "There is one more thing. I think you will know it soon, but I still want to remind you first. Prince Chen... he has a magical thing in his hand.

The magical treasure seems to be able to summon a powerful magical creature. I just learned about it last night."

These words made Count Raymond's expression change slightly!

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

After leaving the gloomy courtyard of Earl Raymond's study, Du Wei felt as if his chest was blocked by something. When he breathed, he felt heavy in his chest. He walked slowly in the Earl's Mansion and looked up at the sky.

"This life is really as lonely as snow... Hehe, but unfortunately, it's summer now. If you want to see snow, I'm afraid you can only go to the frozen forest."

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

At least in that place where there were murderous monsters everywhere, it seemed that I had spent the most fulfilling and happiest days since I came to this world.

Whether it is the old magician Gandalf, Hussein, Dardaniel of the List family, or the men of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group who live on adventures all day long...the harsh training there, the adventurous life there.

, the ice and snow there, camping in the snow forest, drinking strong wine to keep away the cold, running on monsters... At least there, I still have a group of life and death companions who I can trust by my side!!

Although the imperial capital is prosperous, it is not my hometown!

Perhaps human nature is all about escaping. When Du Wei felt lonely at the moment, he walked aimlessly. When he raised his head, he suddenly found that he had arrived at the Earl's Mansion without knowing it.

's inner house.

A tall girl wearing a maid's uniform was walking towards her. She was the maid of her mother, the countess. When she saw Du Wei from a distance, she already bent down. Then, when Du Wei came in front of her, she raised her head and whispered.

He smiled and said, "Madam is asking me to find you. I heard that you didn't come back last night. Madam didn't sleep all night either."

Du Wei smiled and walked in.

The countess was born into a noble family. It is said that when she was young and unmarried, like many girls from aristocratic families, she received an aristocratic education since she was a child. She was quite talented in flowers and painting. After getting married, she had a good relationship with the earl. Favor.

Count Raymond, who doted on his wife, specially opened a garden in his inner house to satisfy his wife's hobby of playing with various exotic flowers.

When Du Wei walked into the yard at this moment, he saw his mother standing next to a bunch of flowers. The Countess, who was over 40 years old, was still as beautiful as ever, wearing a light purple robe, standing next to the blooming roses. But she had already let go.

The delicate flowers have lost some of their luster.

The countess was looking at the flowers in front of her quietly, as if she was in a trance.

Du Wei walked over and smiled softly: "Mother, are you admiring the flowers? Or are you imagining the meaning of the painting in your mind? The summer flowers are blooming so gorgeously, why don't you record their beauty on the drawing board. etc.

When winter comes, wouldn’t it be more interesting to take it out and watch it?”

The countess turned back to look at her son, with a trace of worry on her beautiful face: "Duwei, come here. I heard that your father called you when you came back... He was very unhappy last night. Just now

Have you been punished again?"

Du Wei shook his head and just smiled quietly.

The countess sighed, walked away from the flowers gently, came to her son, then gently hugged Du Wei's shoulders, and said softly: "Your father has been in a bad mood recently... I know that the family is a heavy burden.

These decades have been on his shoulders alone. Although I rarely ask him, after all, I am in the imperial capital, and I can hear some rumors on weekdays. It seems that the family has encountered some troubles recently..."

As she said that, the beautiful countess' eyes moved, and she stared at her son quietly, then gently raised her hand, as if waving away a trace of dust on Du Wei's forehead. She frowned and said, "Where were you last night? You got it all over your body."

The clothes are all dirty."

Of course Du Wei wouldn't say that he almost died in a battle with a powerful undead black magician last night. He just smiled and said: "It's nothing. I was just messing around with my friends."

"Well, you finally have a friend. I'm relieved too." 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 soft in his heart.

The countess whispered to herself: "You are my son, and also my first son. Although some words are said to be unfair to Gabri... But during the three years when your father went on the war, you were the only one in the family.

By staying with me, in fact, in my heart, I have always loved you more."

Du Wei was silent and just looked at his mother.

"Du Wei, can I ask you something?" The countess sighed softly. This sigh was like a resentment, faintly passed into Du Wei's ears, and people couldn't help but feel sorry for this beautiful woman.

Feeling sad and soft-hearted.

"Mother, tell me." Du Wei smiled: "Any wish you have is, to me, the will of the supreme god!"

"Shh..." The countess's face changed, and she quickly stretched out her soft palm to cover Du Wei's mouth. Her beautiful eyes were full of gentle reproach: "You are not young anymore, so don't say such blasphemies.

Do you understand what I said?"

Oh...I almost forgot that my mother was a devout believer. Du Wei sighed inwardly. When he was seriously ill when he was young, on a stormy night, his mother knelt down and prayed for him all night in the temple.

After a pause, the countess looked at her son, with a hint of pleading in her voice: "Du Wei, actually I know that you are not who others say you are. You are my son. I love you and know you very well.

.You are a very smart person, and your abilities are definitely unimaginable by others! And your father... Although I don't know why, I know that you and your son have always been at odds. But now... you

My father works hard every day and is frowning. I am very worried... Du Wei, at home now, your brother is only eight years old, a young child. Only you can help your father take care of his worries. After all, you have a

What is being talked about is my blood and the blood of the Luo Lin family. I just ask you not to resent your father for neglecting you for so many years. If you can... can you help him more..."

At the end of the sentence, the Countess' voice was filled with soft pleading, and her kind eyes were full of hope.

Looking at the mother in front of him, Du Wei suddenly remembered the scene when he was young, wearing a nightgown and barefoot, coming to his bedroom at night and singing that beautiful and melodious song to accompany him to sleep.

.

"Mother..." Du Wei took a deep breath and said slowly: "For you, I am willing to do anything, even challenge the gods! Don't worry, with me here, the glory of the Luo Lin family will never fall!

"

The boy stood in front of his mother. His voice seemed calm, but it was extremely decisive!

The beautiful countess was smiling, and she looked at her son with relief in her eyes. However, she was gentle and kind, and she didn't know what kind of heavy weight and what kind of pain was being carried in her heart by the son she loved most at this moment.

A kind of pain. And under such heavy pain, this seemingly simple promise actually represents an almost pious vow!
