Law of the Devil

Chapter 141 [heart as an abyss]

The disciple of the legendary magician Gandolph, the youngest bachelor of magic in the Roland Continental Magical Union, the eldest son of the imperial military, and the legal heir of the Wuxun family, the Roland family (although suffering from the cold, but at least the Earl of the Earl has not officially announced the abolition His message) On this series of already dazzling titles, now it is necessary to add a more awesome aura: the first member of the Imperial Academy of Magic. And from the point of view, it is still the most important one!

If there is no accident, although his committee has no direct authority, if it is in the committee, the opinions of the imperial official and the magic union conflict, or there is a formal order of official documents, stand on Du Wei’s position. On the other hand, his words can almost play a role in the finalization.

One vote is affirmative, or one vote is veto!

Once established, the School of Magic will completely change the thousands of years of tradition in which the magician power on the mainland is monopolized by the magic union, promote the magic culture, and increase the number of the entire magician group (although the quality is still a question), but this is only It is enough to push the young Master Du Wei to a cusp.

"I just want to know why you told me this news now." Du Wei looked at the silent father: "I know, before today, you were going to wait until the summer festival to tell me the news? Oh, no, no, let me guess, maybe you didn't think about telling me personally, such a big news, I am afraid that the emperor will personally announce it in public at the summer ceremony, which is enough to make a sensation. I said That's right? My father is an adult!"

"It's true." Earl Raymond nodded. Looking deeply at his son, he saw the indifference in his son's eyes. This indifference, in fact, when I returned from my triumphant moment, I noticed from my son’s eyes that this time the son returned from the Luolin Plain to the Emperor, this indifference has been carefully hidden in the depths of his eyes, and At this moment, I finally showed it again!

Earl Raymond sighed: "I will not answer your question first. My son, before this, we need to talk honestly and honestly! Really honest!"

"As you wish." Du Wei shrugged his shoulders and smiled with a three-pointer.

Count Raymond aptly "ignored" the taunts in Du Wei's tone. He looked at Du Wei with a dignified color, and then suddenly said something like this: "You are my son, this is impossible to change. Facts. No one can change: you, a member of the Rollin family!"

"...Yes." Du Wei was silent for a moment and nodded.

"The establishment of this magic academy involves the affiliation of such a huge force in the future. This is a major event. What you have to understand is that now you are not only pushed to the cusp of the cusp, but also in a slap in the face. And the whole Luolin family. And myself!" Earl Raymond is very serious: "Yes, as the emperor himself, or the chairman of the magic union, I recognize that you are the most suitable candidate for buffering both sides. Because of your magician status and the status of aristocratic children, you seem to represent the common interests of both sides and are the most suitable middlemen. Smart politicians will not try to intensify the contradictions because it is too dangerous. There is not enough Before you grasp it, you won't be insured to take huge losses and your opponent will turn your face! Now, the Emperor and the chairman of the Magic Union are holding this idea. In this case, everyone needs you to exist like this, you can Appropriately ease the contradictions of everyone and create a delicate balance in the conflict, so that your position. Period will not be shaken. This is a good thing for you, but ...... "

Du Wei was very clever, and he immediately understood what his father meant. Not counting the Earl of Raymond, he already sighed: "But for the Rollin family, it is a very bad thing, do you mean this?"

“Yes!” Earl Raymond’s face was gloomy: “Because of your existence, the family has been dragged to an extremely dangerous place!”

Du Wei is silent.

"You are my son, even if you are doing it again, you represent a member of the Rollin family! Now you should remember that on the day you came back, it was here, in this room, I told you at the time. What?"

After listening to his father's question, Du Wei did not hesitate and immediately replied: "I remember, at the time, you said to me, 'Start today, you are back to the Imperial Capital, your every move represents the Luo Lin family.' I also I remember that the kindness you gave me that day was something I have never enjoyed in my fourteen years of life."

At the end of the day, Du Wei looked at his father deeply. The eyes were not sharp, but the Earl of Raymond couldn’t help but squint through his face as if to avoid his son’s gaze.

After a while, the countess sighed: "It is for this reason! The Luolin family is loyal to the royal family. In any case, the Luolin family is the family of Wu Xun who guards the royal family of Roland, the glory of our family, all Power, the foundation of the whole family, relies heavily on the thorny flower banner of the Roland empire! Now, in our family, there is such a marginal character... Indeed, your appearance is the emperor’s and the chairman of the magic union. A recognition is a existence. But this kind of recognition is helpless, it has to be done! So, you are acquiesced by everyone. But... In this case, do you think that Emperor Majesty will continue to believe me as before? Will you still believe in the Luolin family as before?"

Du Wei did not think too much about this issue, and he quickly shook his head.

The answer is obviously no!

Luo Lin’s family had such a guy who had been dyed with a deep “enemy camp” imprint. Then, as the emperor of the empire, the old man who had just used himself and had great joys and deeds would definitely have a suspicion for the Luolin family, and even resent it. .

What is the leader wanting? What I want is absolute loyalty to my subordinates, absolutely unreserved loyalty! Such a subordinate is what most leaders like. Such a subordinate will be trusted by most leaders!

But now, the Luolin family has produced one of his own guys. Although he is the "double-faced character" that has been defeated by helplessness, it has already caused the emperor's loyalty to the Luolin family to have a bit of doubt.

Even if the original emperor trusted the Earl of Raymond, and now the Earl of Lemmon actually raised such a "slant" to the son of the hostile camp, it is enough to make the emperor feel a bit of a bad feeling against the Earl of Raymond.

Your pro-son has become a magic union. Do you still want to continue to gain unreserved trust from me?

Perhaps, unless it is a leader of the great level, you can have that kind of inclusive mind. It’s a pity... The current imperial emperor Augustin VI seems to be not such a person!

"And you don't know... the emperor left him. In the past two years, his body has become worse than before. Sometimes his temper becomes very violent and lonely. In recent years, no one has dared to anger him." Earl of Raymond There is a trace of worry between the eyebrows: "And even more unfortunate. You must have read so many history books, you should also know that before the emperor dies, he will consciously suppress some military powers, on the one hand, deterrence. On the one hand, it is also to prevent the situation of Chen’s strong and weak, and it is a practice of the emperor’s technique. Unfortunately, after this incident, our Luolin family has been left behind. 'Looking at the other eye,' you think, when the emperor wants to suppress a military heavy minister to demonstrate, who will choose?"

Du Wei replied: "It should be us."

"Right, not right." Earl Raymond smiled bitterly: "According to the current situation, it is accurate. You will be dragged down and even promoted... and the entire Luolin family will be smothered. You are a magic school. Things, the emperor did not dare to anger you, worried that your double-faced characters will completely fall to the magic union, so you may get some benefits, but the Luolin family will suffer some losses. Political things, from this This is not my concern. After all, as long as you are a member of the Magic Academy one day, then the emperor will not do too much, after all, you have to look at your face. I am worried about the long-term!"

Du Wei understands. Father is worried that it is correct.

The image of the Rollin family has always been a core aristocratic giant who is tightly united around the royal family. It is a family of martial arts trusted by the royal family and one of the pillars of the empire... but all this is based on a fine tradition: centuries Come to the royal family's allegiance.

But now, Du Wei is a "half traitor", and it is still on such a big thing, enough to give the Luo Lin family an absolute loyal image and a discount, turned into a stain.

"In fact, the emperor does not have to do anything else, as long as the magic school is over. After all, you can't take this job forever. Just wait for you to leave this position, then the Rollin family is really in trouble. You don't even need the emperor. Deliberately suppressing us, as long as the royal family hates us and no longer trusts us... Losing the trust of the royal family, the decline of the Rollin family is not far off!” Earl Raymond smiled: “This is my biggest concern. ”

Du Wei looked at his father: "Since you have thought so clearly, then you must have thought of countermeasures?"

"Yes." Earl Raymond looked ugly: "To get the re-trust of the royal family... or to get the emperor's 're-trust', there is only one way, that is, meritorious service! Make a great contribution to the royal family and let the royal family appreciate us. Re-trust us! But now the mainland is peaceful and there is no war. It is impossible for us to marry the Wuxun family. Therefore, if you want to make meritorious deeds, there is only one way..."

"...holding." Du Wei sighed again.

He already understood.

What is the greatest credit for an emperor? What do you like most?

The biggest credit is to stand up! The favorite courtier is to support him as the emperor's courtier!

"For the current emperor, the old guy, I have no hope. My biggest hope is pinned on the emperor's body, as long as we successfully support a prince who is enthroned and wins in the battle to win the throne, then You can win the gratitude and trust of the new emperor! This great achievement is the long-term development guarantee of the Luolin family!" Earl Raymond looked deep and looked at his son.

Du Wei has no idea that this is his first sigh today, but he still has no choice but to look at his father: "Standing. It is indeed the best way to see it now, although it is a gamble, but if you gamble, If you win, then the benefits you get will also be huge... just don’t know, which of the emperors you put the bet on?”

"The big prince."

After listening to my father's answer, although Du Wei had already guessed it, I still couldn't help but feel a little confused.

The big prince, it should be the one who sent someone to assassinate Chen Huangzi last night.

But it seems that I went to Chen Huangzi again last night.

It seems so. It seems that I am really "wrong." At this moment, Du Wei suddenly gave birth to a few points. It seems that this existence is really a lot of trouble for the Luolin family.

If it does not exist on its own, then the Rollin family will not be sandwiched in the establishment of this magic school. If it were not for his own existence, the Rollin family would not be in the business of holding a new emperor...

In this way, it is really a scourge for the Luolin family.

It is the existence of oneself that makes the family fall into the embarrassing situation of the present.

"Father. In your opinion, in the battle for the battle, the big prince and the empire of the empire are more advantageous? I spent the night with the prince of the night, I feel this person..." Du Wei has not finished . Earl of Raymond has interrupted him: "Chen Huangzi is young and intelligent, talented and admirable, friendly, and hidden in the chest. Young but already very atmospheric! I know all these. But unfortunately, if he In the early ten years of life, I will definitely put a bet on his body. Unfortunately, he is too young!"

Count Raymond shook his head: "The Great Prince is the son of His Majesty who was born in his twenties. He is fifty years old this year, and he is one year older than me. Before Chen’s birth was not born, His Majesty always took him. As a heir to cultivate! Chen Huangzi only emerged in recent years, but the great emperor has been deeply ingrained in the empire, carefully arranged for decades. His power and influence in all aspects far exceeds the emperor of the earth. Now In the empire, many of the most important people like me are almost close friends and old acquaintances who grew up together with the great emperor. There are even many friends who have made good friends since they were young! And Chen Zizi is too young. Even in the Northwest War more than 20 years ago, the Great Emperor had participated in the preparations for the war, and even went to the front parallax in person. In the military of the empire, his influence was far deeper than that of the Emperor. Much more. Especially for the Imperial Army to control the corps! The efforts of the Great Emperor for nearly 30 years are not in vain. Although the prince of Chen received the court magician and the secret of the inner court, but from the whole The force sent too much. "

Du Wei did not speak. Although he appreciates Chen Zizi. But he believes in the vision of his father, the empire who has been in the political arena for half a lifetime. It is definitely a hundred times stronger than one's own understanding of the situation.

Du Wei thought for a while, then looked at his father and his eyes were calm: "Father, I think I understand what you mean."

"I understand it." Earl Raymond sighed: "On the day you came back, I will let Alpha tell you, don't go out and move around... Oh, unfortunately, you didn't listen. In fact, I should tell you this by myself. But..." Speaking of this, Count Raymond’s eyes shed a very complex light.

Du Wei looked at his father. His eyes were calm, but the calm was even more disturbing.

For a long time, Du Wei whispered: "Father, can I ask you a question? I hope you can tell me the real answer, no matter what the answer, I am willing to accept it!"

"...you ask." The voice of Earl Raymond seemed to be bitter.

"On my way to the emperor." Du Wei's voice is steady, as if talking about other people's things: "Those who assassin me..."

Not waiting for Du Wei to finish, the Earl of Raymond flashed a glimpse in the eyes: "No need to ask, I sent it."

This answer, Du Wei has already guessed it, but at this moment he was surprised to find that his heart did not have the slightest anger and resentment. Looking at his father, the countess, Du Wei suddenly felt that there was only one kind of empty heart. Feeling, even this kind of hollow. Let him not provoke a trace of resentment!

He didn't even ask "why."

Hey... still ask?

When I came back that day, the Earl of the Lord had actually concealed the answer.

At that time, Earl Raymond said: "Because this robe on your body!"

This robe, the bachelor of the magic bachelor! Because you become a magician! Your arrival will drag the family into a fierce whirlpool! Therefore, in order to avoid the difficult position that will be brought about, the family peace can only be sacrificed! As long as there is no Duwei, the Rollin family can be caught in the middle of the battle between the royal family and the magic union!

What does a son count compared to the future of the entire family?

The face of this eldest son who looked at himself was calm and almost dead. Earl of Raymond suddenly trembled in his heart... The boy in front of him, this young boy with a calm eyes, is his own son!

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

Is it hate? Or, hate the extreme, has been numb?

"Du Wei." Earl Raymond suddenly drummed up all the strength, loudly: "There are two things, I did not deceive you... The first one is. I did prevent the summoning of you back to the emperor, even I tried to delay, but unfortunately I couldn’t resist the pressure from the royal family and the magic union! The second thing is... I told you, I originally banished you to the plain of Luolin, I really want to protect you. You are my place. Son, even if you thought you were mediocre and thought that you were incompetent, I hope that you can live a life in your hometown! These words. I have not deceived you!"

For a long time, it seems that after a century, Du Wei slowly raised his head and looked at his father's face.

At this moment, the martial arts hero of the imperial empire for many years, the giant of the imperial military, seems to be really old.

Du Wei suddenly smiled, his smile was so calm. Then he looked at his father and said in a calm voice: "So, father, let me tell you something. On the day I came back, I told you: I don't hate you. This sentence, now, still No change. I... don't hate you."

After saying this, Du Wei bent down deeply and bowed to his father. Then turned and pushed the door to leave the study. Just when his feet had just stepped out of the study door. Suddenly stood still, he did not look back. Just back to the Earl of Raymond, the voice slowly floated: "There is one more thing, I think although you will soon know, but still remind you first. Chen Huangzi ... he has a piece in his hand The magical magical treasure seems to be able to summon a powerful magical creature. This was what I learned last night."

This made the Earl of Raymond look a little bit!

After saying this, Du Wei really left, and left the father's study without returning.

Leaving the gloomy yard of Earl of Raymond's study, Du Wei felt that the chest seemed to be blocked. When he breathed, he felt heavy in his chest. He slowly walked in the Earl's House and looked up at the sky.

"This life is really lonely like snow... oh, but unfortunately, it is summer, if you want to see the snow, I am afraid that only the frozen forest."

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

At least in that place there is a place to kill World of Warcraft, as if it is the most fulfilling and happy day after I came to this world.

Whether it is the old magician Gandorf, or Hussein, and the Liszt family's Dardanelle, the snow wolf mercenary group of those who are full of adventures for life... the harsh exercise there, the adventure there , where the ice and snow, camping in the snow forest, drinking spirits to drive the cold, riding the World of Warcraft running ... at least there, there are still a number of life and death companions to their own trust! !

Although the emperor is prosperous, it is not my hometown!

Perhaps human nature, with a trace of escape. When Du Wei was lonely at the moment, the aimless walk came, and when he looked up, he suddenly found himself unknowingly coming to the inner house of the Earl's House.

The tall girl in the front of the maid costume was coming face to face. It was the maid of the mother countess. She saw Du Wei, and she had already bent down. Then she waited for Du Wei to come to the front and raised her head to whisper. Smiled: "Mrs. is letting me go to you. I heard that you didn't go back last night. My wife didn't sleep all night."

Du Wei smiled and walked in.

The countess was born in a famous aristocrat. It is said that when she was young and married, like many girls in aristocratic families, she accepted aristocratic education from an early age. She was very talented in flowers and paintings. After her marriage, she had a good relationship with the Earl. The Earl of Raymond, who spoiled his wife, opened a garden in the inner house to satisfy his wife’s hobby of playing with all kinds of exotic flowers on weekdays.

At the moment, when Duvi entered the yard, he saw his mother standing next to a bunch of flowers. The countess, who was not confused, was still as beautiful as ever, a light lilac robes standing beside the blooming roses. But it has already made the delicate flowers lose a bit of brilliance.

The countess was watching the flowers in front of her quietly, as if she was fascinated.

Du Wei walked over and smiled softly: "Mother, are you enjoying flowers? Or are you thinking about painting in your heart? This summer flower is so gorgeous, why don't you record their beauty on the drawing board. etc. When winter comes, take it out and watch it. Isn't it more flavorful?"

The countess turned back to look at her son, her beautiful face with a trace of anxiety: "Du Wei. Come over. I heard that you were called by your father when you came back... He was very upset last night, just now Did you punish you again?"

Du Wei shook his head, just quietly smiling.

The countess sighed and walked away from the flowers, came to her son, and gently grabbed Du Wei’s shoulder. She said softly: “Your father has been in a bad mood lately... I know that the family’s burden is heavy. These decades have been on his shoulders. Although I rarely ask him, after all, I am in the Imperial Capital, and I can hear some winds on weekdays. It seems that the family has had some troubles recently..."

Said, the beautiful countess swayed, staring quietly at her son, and then gently raised the hand, as if waving a trace of dust on Du Wei's forehead. Frowning: "Where did you go last night. The clothes on the ground are dirty."

Du Wei certainly wouldn’t say that he had a big fight with a powerful undead black magician last night. He just smiled and said, “Nothing. Just messing with friends.”

"Well, you finally have a friend. I am also relieved." The countess smiled softly and gently stroked Du Wei's face. Du Wei felt the mother's fingers, warm and delicate, could not help but feel soft, I heard The countess whispered to herself: "You are my son and my first son. Although there are some words to say, there is some injustice to Gabriel... But in the three years of your father's expedition, the only family in the family is you. I am with me around me. In fact, in my heart, I have always loved you more."

Du Wei is silent, just looking at his mother.

"Du Wei, can I ask you something?" The countess sighed softly. This sigh was like a sorrowful sigh. It was faintly introduced into Du Wei's ear, which made people feel uncomfortable for this beautiful woman. I feel sad and sad.

"Mother, let's talk." Du Wei smiled: "Any wish of yours is the supreme deity of me!"

"Oh..." The countess changed her face and quickly extended her soft palm to cover Du Wei's mouth. The beautiful nephew was full of gentle blame: "You are not too small, you can't say this kind of god." The words, understand?"

Oh... I almost forgot, my mother is a devout believer. Du Wei’s heart sighed, and he was very sick in his youth. On the night of the storm, his mother was still praying for herself for a night in the temple.

After a pause, the countess looked at her son, and there was a request in her voice: "Du Wei, actually I know, you are not what others said, you are my son, I hurt you, love you, and know you very well. You are a very intelligent person, your ability is absolutely beyond everyone's imagination! And your father... I don't know why, but your father and son have always been disharmonious, I know. But now...you My father is working hard every day, frowning, my heart is very worried... Du Wei, now at home, your brother is only eight years old, a young child. Only you can help your father to worry. After all, you It’s my blood and the blood of the Rollin family. I just beg you, don’t hate your father for so many years, let me down, if you can... can you help him more...”

At the end of the day, the countess’s voice was already with a soft pleading, and the compassionate scorpion was full of wings.

Looking at the mother in front of him, Du Wei suddenly remembered that when she was young, she was wearing a nightgown and went to her bedroom barefoot at night, singing the beautiful melodious songs and accompanying herself to sleep. .

"Mother..." Du Wei took a deep breath and slowly said: "For you, I am willing to do anything, even if it is to challenge the gods! You can rest assured that there is me, the glory of the Luolin family, will never fall! ”

The teenager stood in front of the mother, his voice seemed calm, but it was absolutely decided!

The beautiful countess was smiling, and she looked at her son's eyes with relief. However, she is gentle and kind, she does not know the son she loves the most, and what kind of pain is in her heart. Under such heavy pain, this seemingly simple promise actually represents a vow of devoutness!

When the summer is empty, Du Wei feels like an abyss!
