Duke of Silver Arrow

At the banquet, Brian tried to persuade him to stay several times, and the butler Steven also helped to persuade him, but Mr. Jensen still left due to his ongoing magic research.

During the teaching that afternoon, Brian was in a bad mood.

"You are unhappy, don't try to hide it from me this time." Chris patted him on the shoulder.

Brian laughed: "Chris, come on, you have to give me some time."

"What's so sad about this? Gathering and parting are common things. Don't tell me you're still like a child who can't grow up."

"But he's different." Brian's blue eyes showed melancholy.

"What's the difference?" Chris asked puzzled.

"He's the one I love."

Chris blinked.

"Surprised?" Blaine smiled back.

"No wonder," Chris felt a little awkward for some reason, "no wonder you ask his opinion on everything."

"He is well-read and knowledgeable, and his practical ability is particularly strong. No matter what he does, he looks confident. When I first entered school, I was already infatuated with him."

"But I dare not say it, I can only express myself desperately. To a certain extent, the geniuses praised by people today are all because of him."

"Later, I got this strange disease. Every day I felt that my body was getting weaker and weaker, which made me even more afraid to confess to him."

"So I escaped and came back. For so many years, I have sought medical treatment everywhere, hoping that one day my disease can be cured."

"But no. Right now, I only have a month, and there's no need to let him know."

"Wait, isn't it a year?" Chris asked in amazement.

"Did you hear our conversation?" Brian smiled slyly. "I lied to him."

"So you do everything possible to keep him today."

"Yes, who doesn't want to be accompanied by the one he loves at the end of his life?"

"It's a pity he still left."

"No way, just like you said, I can't cry like a child." Bryan had tears in his eyes.

Chris was a little taken aback, and he handed over his handkerchief: "Don't do this, Brian."

He stood up, flustered, not knowing what to do, and finally said dryly: "You still have us."

"Thank you, Chris." Brian laughed through his tears.

That night, Chris tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

He couldn't help opening his pocket watch to check on Brian's condition.

Under the gentle moonlight, the elf-like figure was lying on the bed.His breathing was steady and he looked like he was dreaming sweetly.

Is he dreaming of someone he loves?Chris suppressed the inexplicable jealousy in his heart, and slowly stroked the pocket watch in his hand.

Such a peaceful sleeping face will soon be forever.

Thinking of this possibility, Chris felt uneasy.

He recalled the past ten years ago.

When he was nine years old, another catastrophic flood occurred in his hometown, which was already full of disasters. Both his parents died because of it, and he was the only one who escaped by chance.

After that, he began to wander around, and when he arrived near Black Lake Town, he heard that there was a manor here, and there was a powerful magician in the manor, and he was willing to do good, so maybe he could ask for help.

He came outside the manor with a glimmer of hope.

It was a cold afternoon.

He hid in the woods outside the gate of the manor, hesitating not to go there.

He noticed that there was another person not far away, dressed like a priest.

He guessed that the other party might also come to ask for help.

Neither of them moved.

until a little boy appeared.

The little boy, who was struggling even to walk, knocked on the gate of the manor tremblingly.

Not long after, the butler came over.

The butler seemed very sympathetic to the little boy, and brought the little boy into the manor.

His eyes lit up immediately, which showed that he also had hope.

But not long after, a figure was thrown out.

A white light struck and was pushed by the white light, and the child was stabbed to death by a branch.

Blood dripped on his face.

The butler chased him out and saw the tragedy.

Surprised, he noticed little Chris hiding here.

"You're his brother? It's unfortunate. I'm sorry, but please believe the duke didn't mean it."

The butler ordered the little boy to be buried and gave him a bag of gold coins at the same time.

Whenever he thinks of this incident, he hates himself for being cowardly and incompetent at that time.

This is indeed a small matter, and he himself has nothing to lose in this matter, but instead gains a bag of gold coins.The little boy was not related to him, and even if he died, he had nothing to do with him.

But Chris was brooding over this matter, maybe it was a sense of resentment, why human life could be so despised, maybe it was all the calm coping after adulthood that made him even more unwilling when recalling the past, if he could do something back then , will that child survive?

Chris was up all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the butler was about to gather the big guys together, give everyone some money and then go home temporarily for a month.

At this time, someone came to the door.

It is the emissary of the Sky Empire.

There are many countries distributed on the vast continent, among which the three most important countries are Xuetian Empire, Sky Empire and Ou Shen Empire.

The Xuetian Empire is located in the northernmost part of the mainland. It has a long history and brilliant civilization. It covers a small area, but it is rich in products.Because of the geographical location, it is cold all year round.

The Sky Empire has the most nobility and glory, and it is located in the center of the entire continent.The superior geographical location makes it a bridge between various countries.

The European Deep Empire is the richest country, it is free, open and powerful.Both the headquarters of the Magic Association and the Mercenary Association are in its capital, Siguiel.

The Duke of Silver Arrow now resides in the Snowfield Empire, but his title was granted in the Sky Empire.

His parents were also from the veteran nobles of the Sky Empire.

King Green of the Sky Empire is mediocre and incompetent. He is a middle-level fighting spirit master. The throne is inherited, and many nobles do not accept his rule.

The butler invited the envoy into the living room, and both parties sat down. Brian asked the envoy's reason.

The messenger's name was Hansen, and he was the king's knight commander.He was in his thirties, with a big beard and a strong build.He came here in a hurry, and when he met, his face was full of anxiety.

But there was still a trace of hesitation in speaking: "How is your health, Duke?"

"Thank you for your concern, it's okay. I don't know why you came here this time?"

"Uh," Knight Commander Hansen wiped his sweat, "Although I don't know you, I have always admired your name. There is one matter that the whole country is helpless, so I can only ask you here."

"I don't know what is so difficult? You tell me and I will do my best."

The butler next to him, Steven, frowned when he heard that.

He thinks that things related to the imperial power and nobles are too messy, so don't get involved if you can ignore them, and Brian's body doesn't allow it.

"A few days ago, our country held a flower festival. The prince of Misha Kingdom made a bet with His Majesty, saying that if he lost, the country would become attached to our country. If he won, His Majesty's throne would be given to him."

The Sky Empire is like spring all year round and has an excellent climate, so it is known as the land of thousands of flowers.A large-scale flower fair is held every year, and all countries send people to participate in the competition.

Misha Country is just a small remote country in the northwest, with barren land and weak national strength.

"What bet?"

"He's betting on the national flower. Compare the national flowers of the two countries to see which country's national flower blooms better and lasts longer without soil and water."

"Our country is full of talents, masters come forth in large numbers, and the national flower is the ninth-level compassionate danhua, so there should be no difficulty."

"You don't know, the bad thing is that our country's national flower is too high. Misha country's national flower is a first-class purple rice flower, and the energy needed to maintain its growth is many times less than that of Cidan flower. They also set rules .First, you are not allowed to use external force to help, you can only rely on your own magic or vindictiveness. Second, one person can't stand up and replace another, and you can't swarm up, and there is a limit of eight people. Third, it must be from your own country. People, outsiders are not allowed to help."

"Now all the capable masters in our country have gone up, and they are about to lose, so His Majesty sent me to invite you."

"Okay, I'll go with you. In this way, you can rest for a while, wait for me to pack up, and we will set off immediately."

Hansen breathed a sigh of relief when he agreed: "It's great that you can go! I know that you are not in good health and have been sick all the time. I have to work hard for you."

Brian smiled and said, "You're being polite."

The butler ordered someone to take Captain Hansen to the guest room to rest, and when he left, he persuaded him: "Master Duke, you must not go!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, my body is just like this. No matter how bad it is, it won't be too bad. Besides, I have promised Knight Commander Hansen just now, do you want me to break my promise?"

The butler was so anxious that Chris walked in at this moment.

"what happened?"

After the housekeeper told the story, Chris thought for a while and said, "Your body really shouldn't go, but since you have already agreed, then I will accompany you."

"Don't worry, I can do it by myself."

"How can this be troublesome? I'm idle, and I'm idle. Besides, you saved me, so I can't help much. It's good for the two of you to take care of me."

The housekeeper also persuaded: "We can rest assured that someone is with you."

Seeing this, Brian complied.

The housekeeper hurriedly ordered people to prepare the car and prepare the things for use.

Knight Commander Hansen was restless and restless in the guest room. He was anxiously waiting, so someone knocked on the door and asked him to meet in the living room.

Overjoyed, he walked quickly to the living room.

Seeing that the Duke of Silver Arrow had already put on the mage robe and was waiting for him at the door, there was also a battle qi master standing beside him, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Duke, are you ready? Who is this?"

"Get ready, this is my friend Chris Brook, he is worried about my body and wants to go with me."

"Okay, let's go then!"

Time is urgent, Hansen wished that a teleportation magic circle would arrive directly.

It's a pity that Brian likes to travel, and basically never used the teleportation magic circle.
