Wizard From Afar

Loren finished writing the testimony in his hand, and gave it to the dean to read it for himself. After confirming that it was correct, he let him sign his name on it.

"Very well, dean, do you have anything else to say?" The black hair wizard who lifts the head collected his testimony and opened the mouth and said blankly:

p>

"Maybe, this is your last word."

The dean's face is not at all depressed, his expression is still firm and a little excited, sitting on the chair and watching for a long time. He: "Your Excellency Loren Torino, can I call you that?"

"Please feel free to do so." For this elderly alchemist, Loren still retains some respect.

"Although at first did not expect it to be like this, I saw it later when it was dull." The dean's eyes were a little gloomy: "His Royal Highness, are you finally ready to try to challenge Is his big brother?"

"I can't tell you, because I don't know." The black hair wizard was very wary: "But your crime is so hard to prove, not because of whoever took refuge in it! "

"You don’t have to be so excited, there have been more conflicts in the history of the Desalion family. Your Majesty Brandon I can't help but kill his younger brother and his sons at the end. After all, there are two impossible chairs for the Supreme Emperor!"

"I didn't mean to disrespect you, but... Loren twitched the corners of his mouth: "Are you trying to persuade me to'abandon the dark and cast the light' and serve for His Royal Highness Connaught?"

Looking at him with a slightly sarcasm in his eyes, the dean's first time He smiled and shook his head: "Don't be kidding me anymore, I am a native of Sackland, and I know the weight of loyalty best-since you have chosen to serve for His Royal Highness Brandon, then it is impossible to take refuge in His Highness Connold."

"But even so, I still have a few words to tell you."

"Please tell me." Loren sat down again.

"We are loyal to the two princes respectively, but we are also loyal to the same Desa Leone, the 13th generation of the Sacrament Empire, this is the most important thing-no matter Whoever becomes the supreme emperor in the future, this empire must stand tall and stand forever!"

"...what are you trying to say?"

"I I would like to ask you to distinguish Brandon’s orders, which are sensible and calm, and which are completely for dealing with your big brother, the result of impulse." The dean stared at him firmly: "Especially the current ones. The empire is facing invasion, even more so."

"Your Excellency Loren Torino, you can find the loopholes in the account books in less than one night, and even sneak into the warehouse without being aware of it. I am convinced of the evidence; but with this kind of power, you should take a longer view instead of just waving your wand and sword for someone."

The dean’s eyes burned, The expression was sincere and there was no sign of lie or temptation. It was completely like a Junior who was teaching him by an elder. The other party's tone also reminded Loren of Dean Peter of Wimpal Academy.

That is also an old man who can bear the humiliation and desperate for his own Academy and apprentices.

Slightly nodded, Loren got up and walked out the door solemnly.

"Your Excellency Loren Torino!"

The dean’s voice once again stopped the black hair wizard’s footsteps, staring at his back, as if it was down The same determination.

"I didn’t want to say this just now, but considering your surname...maybe it’s better to remind you." The dean’s voice was heavy: "Serving Desalion Imperial Family is indeed a This is a very glorious thing, especially this honor often brings more opportunities."

"But please remember that this path is also very dangerous-your loyal service for them will always They won’t get the corresponding loyalty, because they are Desalion, the master of the empire. In their eyes, all this is a matter of course!"

"Remember your ancestors, who' The fate of the Black Duke' Roland Torino, sometimes...loyalty and piety, can’t be rewarded for you-so don’t forget to think about yourself at any time, or you will regret it sooner or later!"

This is completely contradictory to the previous one, but it is also a sincere statement. Loren can't help but look back at it: "Thank you, I will remember it in my heart."

The words he said were the same sincerely, and seeing Loren's solemn gaze, the dean also showed a very calm expression, slightly nodded, waiting for his own next destiny.

But in Loren's heart, he kept chanting the name that the other party mentioned.

Roland Torino …the famous "Black Duke" a hundred years ago, the ruler of Byrne Duchy, and the last ruler-Since him, the Torino family and the entire Byrne Duchy have been in a slump, a pan of sand. .

But if the rumors are true, the "dark duke" was still alive when it was the heyday of Byrne Duchy, and even once influenced the structure of the eastern and southern parts of the empire.

Loren is really more and more curious about this "ancestor" who is almost Legendary.

………………………………………………

After finishing all this, Loren, who left the interrogation room, immediately went to the church. This time the priest outside the door did not stop him. Although his attitude was still bad, he only dared to be cold-eyed behind his back.

The indifferent black hair wizard didn’t mean to care at all, walked straight into Brandon’s room, put the testimony of the Institute Head in front of him, and waited for him with his shoulders. Feedback from His Royal Highness.

"Do you believe him?" Brandon took a casual look, then asked Loren in turn.

"I think it has nothing to do with believing or not, but he has no need to lie." The black hair wizard shrugged, "Besides, the evidence we found is basically a load. The alchemist of the Academy also provided evidence. Holy Cross Church has indeed been monitoring here."

"Besides, isn't this also the best ending we can get now, isn't it?"

When he tilted his head, Brandon, with a hesitant expression, was finally nodded in agreement.

Indeed, according to the dean’s confession, he took almost all the guilt on himself, so as not to annoy the church, and to avoid the just and honorable confrontation with his beloved Imperial Brother. It also erased Connold's loyal lackey in Forgetown.

Even if he really doesn't want to admit it, Brandon can't help but accept the reality-now, let alone confrontation, he doesn't even have the money to stand in front of Connold and violate his capital.

After all, the opponent is the crown prince, Prince Sackland, and the commander of the Duanjieshan Fortress at the moment. He has the commanding power of two elite Legions, and he is powerful; Brandon is just a prince.

And His Majesty Eckhart II didn’t like his "humiliating son" very much. Even if he did catch evidence of Connold’s corruption, it was only for the crown prince. A "very headache" little problem is not enough to defeat him.

As Loren said, this is the best result they can achieve in Forgetown. The enemy is crowded and powerful. If you want to defeat Connold, you must step by step.

This will be a long battle, and you must have plenty of patience.

"When shall we leave?" Loren asked tentatively.

"Tomorrow, the sooner the better-since Imperial Brother Connaught did not lie, if I continue to procrastinate, I can only delay time. Maybe he will give him more excuses to lock me up."

The headache is like tilting his head. The red-haired boy stared at the confession in his hand, sighed then said. The delicate face showed a contorts one's face in agony, and the bright red jewel-like pupils healed. The elusive flashing:

"Do you know the difference between me and my beloved Connaught Imperial Brother?"

"Sorry." Loren frowned: "You are ready Ask me, or do you plan to tell me directly?"

"It's very simple, he can get everything he wants from the moment he is born, and he does show that people around him can't wait to take his own Everything is dedicated to him, even if it is a scapegoat, there is no complaint." Brandon shook his testimony.

"And I, Brandon Desalion, I don’t have anything given to me, even my giant dragon, my dear Miracis almost ate me So I’m different from him. I know the rules of this world. I have to change it for whatever I want."

"So, dear wizard consultant Loren Torino, you never have to worry about yourself Will fall to the dean's end-before I get your loyalty, I will give you my own first!"
