The thing about me being a knight

Chapter 48 Returning to Stormwind City

Portia Family, Chamber.

This is an unremarkable single-storey building in the entire Portia family complex.

But no one will ignore its existence.

The Portia family is an ancient family that has been passed down to the present and has experienced countless wars, large and small, in [Darkness] and [Black Moon's Death]. Under their management and subtle influence in [Stormwind City], the glory of the family has long It has already illuminated every corner of [Storm City], but since many years ago, there is hardly any trace of the Portia family in [Storm City], which is understandable.

As a super capital city, Stormwind City has a large population. Whether it is business, economy, culture, or art, its prosperity far exceeds ordinary people's imagination. Under such a prosperous scene, the entanglement of internal forces is also extremely complicated.

But it is precisely because of the existence of these intricate forces, and the competitiveness generated between them, that the steady stream of [Stormwind City] has brought more popularity and prosperity, and the diversification of [Stormwind City] also allows [Stormwind City] ] There are many different voices in the community, but the real right to make the final decision will always be the Portia family.

The Portia family has been rooted in Stormwind City for thousands of years. In [Stormwind City], there is a large area near the south, where the trees are lush. Under the lush trees, there is a huge building complex of the Portia family hidden.

At this time, Selena and Sylvia were in the meeting hall, together with Noah, the chief intelligence officer of the Portia family.

One day ago, with the help of Sid, the vice president of the [Storm City] Magician Association, even though the president of the [Sesemia City] Magician Association, Master Otto, and the vice president, Master Alves, cooperated with each other, Xi Wei Ya still paid a high price, and finally returned to [Stormwind City] through the teleportation array of [Sisemia City].

Sylvia returned to the family with a gloomy face. She found Noah immediately. The intelligence organization of this ancient and huge family was operating quietly. Countless secret orders were passed down level by level along the family's intelligence network. .

And when Sylvia was about to find the lady, she found out that the lady was not in [Stormwind City] at this time. Noah told her that the lady had gone to [Sunset Forest], and Sylvia could only wait for the lady to come back with anxiety. .

Until the pale Selena appeared in the family early this morning, Sylvia's mood became even worse.

Miss was injured, and Master Ron was missing.

When Sylvia endured her emotions and told Miss about the ambush in the forest, and when Selena told Sylvia about Ron appearing in the forest and breaking through the siege until she met the teacher Monroe, the depressive atmosphere hovered in this unknown place. Can't disperse in the conspicuous meeting hall.

Monsters, sky knights, killing people.

Several things combined, even after knowing all the reasons for the Devonhill family's misfortune, Selena still felt uncontrollable anger and depression.

She was glad that Ron escaped from the seventh-rank sky knight, and she was angry that someone dared to kill the Portia family members.

Ron had done nothing wrong, and it wasn't a tragedy to be born into the Devonhill family and bear the Devonhill name.

She feels depressed because even if she looks at these things from the perspective of a bystander, she can feel that all of these are like dark clouds weighing directly on top of her head. As the patriarch of the Devonhill family, Ron can bear it ?
Many years have passed since the change of power in the Seven Great Families, but when all the things on the table turn from sunlight to darkness, it is much more dangerous, because it is difficult for anyone to be in the dark A code of conduct to constrain one thing.

Selena didn't know how to help Ron. Even the Portia family would find such an intricate relationship tricky. She didn't know how to start, but she would definitely help Ron whether he needed it or not, not only It was because of the marriage contract with her from birth, but Selena had too many reasons to do this.

When she knew that Ron did not hesitate to use the teleportation scroll to teleport Sylvia and the others away in the face of the seventh-order sky knight.

When she saw Ron dragging his injured body to help her solve the chasing knight regardless of the danger of his life.

When she saw Ron prying open a hole in the encirclement with his life as a bet.

When she saw Ron blocking the sky knight with his body in the river of Aura to let him escape.

What was he thinking at the time?
Ron obviously wondered why he still treated him so well when he knew he couldn't cultivate, and even saved his life, but he himself did such things again and again without hesitation.

why?

The information given to her by the family never mentioned what kind of person Ron was. They only told her that Ron was super intelligent, that's all.

But none of the things Ron did proved that he was smart enough.

In Selina's view, if Ron was smart enough, he would never have appeared behind her to help her get rid of those knights, nor would he be like a fool with a sense of justice for her and himself again and again Sit down at the gaming table and get ready to gamble your life.

It's so silly, isn't it.

However, everyone hopes that they can meet someone who protects them like this.

Even in a sense, Ron and she are the same kind of people.

But Selina didn't know that for Ron, this was not the whole reason.

Ron never felt how noble he was, nor would he be a saint.

It's just that he doesn't want to see or hear that someone is hurt because of protecting him. He feels that someone is willing to risk his life to protect him, so he should do his best to protect others.

Ron is not a gambler. He has always thought of himself as a small person. Even though he traveled to gain some convenience, he still didn't imagine himself as the protagonist.

But some people are not forgiving.

When Ron came to this world, the time when he was really awake was probably no more than five days, and during most of these five days, he was fighting desperately to survive, which is very bitter to say, But it's all true.

And in order to survive, he has already paid the price of being in a coma for a year.

But someone wanted him to never wake up, so Ron was angry, angry.

He has never regarded himself as the protagonist, but when he is angry, in his opinion, he should be the one who blocks and kills gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.

So it's not that Ron doesn't care about his own life, he wants to live a good life more than anyone else.

It's just that someone wants to kill him, and he is not strong enough, so he can only sit on the gambling table and bet his life with the opponent again and again. This is an attitude, a counterattack, and this is also the most powerful roar of a small person, and it is also hidden in his bones crazy.

And the main reason for all of this is because he doesn't believe in fate.

If the Devonhill family's misfortune is fate, it is also fate that some people don't want him to continue to live.

Then he started from the moment he stepped out of the Xisai Plain.

He has only one idea, he wants to change his fate against the sky.
