Chapter 399: Morality and Power (part 2 of 4)

Seeing Eru's maternal grandfather, Rollin was not prepared to continue with Miss Wendylu's lies.

He bowed deeply to the old man lying on the bed, and then said, "General Gris, Miss Wendylou has important news for you, and I beg the doctors and maids in the room to leave for the time being. ”

Eru's two uncles are close relatives, so of course there is no need to guard against them, but the doctor and the maid are the ones who are most likely to become the eyes of others, so they can't be guarded against.

Arthas glanced at Rollin, and without his father's order, he waved his hand and said, "You all go out." ”

The doctor and the maid withdrew, and Rollin entered the bedroom, closed the door, and apologized first: "I'm very sorry, I lied." ”

"Huh?" Arthas and the other man in the room instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword, and looked at Rollin vigilantly, and the old general lying on the bed turned his gaze, looked at Rollin, and said weakly: "You make it clear." ”

Despite this, there was still a disappointment on his face that could not be concealed, for many years, he had always wanted to know the news of his little daughter, and recently he felt that the end was approaching, and this thought was even stronger.

Rollin took out the dagger that Eru had given him, and handed it to Arthas, who came forward when he saw the dagger: "The young master said that you can confirm my identity when you see the dagger." ”

Arthas stood in front of his father, handed the dagger to Gris to look at, and after the other party nodded, he asked the common doubts of the three people in the room: "Eru is back?" ”

"I'm back."

"Where is he?"

"In a safe place."

"You let this kid come over. Where could it be safer than mine!? The old general slapped the bed board with some excitement, and he coughed because of the force. Arthas hurriedly stepped forward to pacify.

Luo Lin looked as calm as ever. He explained unhurriedly: "You know. The old lord died, the young lord was declared missing, and the young master Elok would ascend the throne as the lord of the new city in three days, and in this case, the young lord had to act carefully. ”

Gris took a few breaths, he noticed Rollin's demeanor, and asked with some surprise in his heart, "Who are you?" ”

"Young Lord Eru's guard. Rollin. ”

"Eru didn't seem to have you when she set off, right?" Arthas asked, a little unsure, and then turned to his brother and asked, "Terry, have you seen him?" ”

Terry shook his head and said with certainty: "The guard I personally looked for at the time didn't have this person." ”

"Tell me what's going on?" The old general Griss asked with a slight increase in his voice.

Rollin nodded, and began to tell the ins and outs: "At that time, the young master Eru was on the ocean dweller. I got drunk and fell off the boat, and he happened to see it and asked someone to help me get on board. I know some martial arts, and the young master was attacked by a bandit group in the Misty Moon Continent. With only one guard left by his side, I became his new bodyguard. Before I came, I made an agreement with the young master that if there was no accident, I would go out to meet him, so general, if you want the young master to come over, I must go with you. ”

He spoke quickly, his voice was clear and very organized, and he made things clear in a few words, and when he had finished listening, Gris glanced at Rollin with some surprise, and after a moment of silence, he said to his eldest son, "Go, bring your sister's son." ”

"Yes, father." Arthas nodded, and he said to Rollin, "Let's go." ”

Rollin nodded, followed Arthas out of the castle together, and when he reached the gate of the manor, Rollin waved his hand, and Eru and Juta, who were waiting at the corner of the street, were overjoyed, but the two of them did not lose their temper and did not appear in a hurry, because everyone knew that at such a time, the Gregory family would definitely be closely monitored.

"They saw us. I figured we should go to the side door and wait for them. Rollin said.

"Okay." Arthas went to the hidden side door next to the manor, and after waiting for ten minutes, there was a knock on the door, the door opened, and Eru walked in, and when he saw Arthas, he cried out in a crying voice: "Uncle! ”

Alsace exhaled, took his nephew into his arms, patted him heavily, and comforted, "Okay, just go home safely." Let's go with my uncle to see my grandfather. ”

Several people went to Gris's bedroom together, and when they saw each other, there was naturally a burst of warmth, but after the warmth, Griss let out a long sigh: "Eru, you're too late to come back." ”

Now in the form of shì, the old city lord has passed away, and a clear will has been made, and a new heir has been established, and the giant eagle warriors of the entire Lionheart City have also recognized this result. If it was before, Gris was still a great general in the city, and it was possible to turn the overall situation around, but now, he is no longer a great general, not to mention, his body is also in the twilight, and the strength of his two sons is not the top among the Force warriors, and his prestige is even less sufficient, and few people will follow them in this kind of major event.

In this case, he has the heart to help, but he has no power to return to God.

Eru also knew that the shape was extremely difficult, and the more he thought about it, the smaller the hope in his heart became, and when he heard this, he asked, "Grandfather, what should I do now?" ”

"Go, leave Lionheart City, the farther away the better, go to the Foggy Moon Continent, this is the only way to survive." Gris looked depressed, thought for a moment, and then said to Arthas, "You go and open the treasury, take three thousand gold coins for Eru, and let him take them." ”

The old man grabbed his grandson's hand tightly and instructed: "With this money, save some flowers, find a big city in the Foggy Moon Continent, buy some properties, and live well." ”

"Grandfather, is there really no way?" There is still a trace of unwillingness in Eru's heart, is his efforts all in vain?

Gris shook his head, "Kid, forget Lionheart." It doesn't belong to you anymore. ”

Eru's face fell, even his most respected grandfather said so, what else could he do, he sighed long, he wanted to give up, but he was unwilling, and he was unsure for a while.

By this time, Arthas had returned, carrying a large pocket in his hand, which jingled and should have been gold coins. Three thousand gold coins is heavy, but that's okay, Eru has something like a magic wrap that doesn't have a lot of space in it, but it's big enough for gold.

Looking at this bag of money that is enough for an ordinary person to enjoy for several lifetimes, Eru was in a daze, he was still unwilling to fail. He was frail though. But there are still some ambitions in my heart. along the way. He was fantasizing about what he would do and what he would do to make his people better and Lionheart stronger when he became the lord of the city.

But now, this bag of gold coins is like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting the already weak fighting spirit in his heart.

To pick up or not to answer, that's a question.

If he accepts his fate, he may be able to be a rich man with abundant food and clothing for the rest of his life. live a comfortable life; If he doesn't answer, he will find a way again, fight to the death with his stepmother's forces, and his head will be broken and bleeding.

Eru hesitated, instinctively, looking up at Rollin, who had been standing in the corner of the room without making a sound.

He hoped that his bodyguard would help him make that decision.

But Rollin clasped his hands to his chest and lowered his head slightly, and the old god leaned against the wall on the ground, and did not respond. He's waiting for Eru to make his own choice, if he doesn't have a strong heart, he wants to be a rich man. So why did he coerce him into the battle of the city lords?

As for his derivative magic puzzle, he just had to find another chance to solve it. Anyway, the era of the ancestors he lived in was at least 50,000 years away from the later generations, and he had time.

"Take it, and don't have any illusions, Eru!" Arthas urged: "The strongest and youngest Force warrior in Lionheart, Mendel. Tobaldi has become the Grand General of Lionheart, and he is a staunch supporter of Elok as Lord of the City, and we can't compete with him. Moreover, your talent is not outstanding, and no one would want an underdog to lead Lionheart, which is cruel but true! ”

If possible, Arthas certainly hoped that his nephew would become the lord of the city, not the son of a woman from the Chamber of Commerce who had nothing to do with the Gregory family, but the problem was that this nephew himself was not very competitive, and he did not have the confidence to support him at all.

Eru pursed her lips and reached out several times, but eventually retracted.

After a long time, he spoke: "On the way back, I have been thinking about my future. I tried my best to find help, and I found some, hoping that I could keep my place as heir. I also gave the promise of guards who would protect me desperately, and if I gave up, those promises would not be kept, and I didn't want to just back down. ”

Terry on the side couldn't listen anymore: "Eru, what are you going to compete with Elok for the position of city lord, it is impossible for our Gregory family to bet on a battle that must be lost, even if you are my nephew." It's not that we don't want to support you, it's that we've already lost, the general trend of Lionheart City has been decided, and no one has the ability to change, you understand? ”

The words were already a little sharp, Eru was noncommittal, he looked up at the silent warrior standing by the wall, "Rollin, what do you say?" ”

"Whether things work out or not, it depends on whether you can be ruthless." Rollin smiled.

"How?" Everyone in the room looked at Rollin, including the old general lying on the bed.

"There are two heirs in the city, there are too many, and if there is one less, there will not be so many disputes."

"You mean to kill my brother Elok? Wouldn't that be too cruel? Eru was taken aback.

Luo Lin smiled faintly: "I have lived for so long, and I have never seen a throne without blood." ”

The more top-level it is, the more brutal the competition is, and even if they are brothers, they often face a life-and-death situation. Personal morality and politics have always been strangers.

There is a saying that those who achieve big things are not informal, which is roughly the same meaning.

The three Gregory family members in the room were silent when they heard this, and they did not object to what Rollin said. The three of them all know that if they want to achieve great things, but they are tied up, they are asking for their own death, and it is better to be an ordinary person, at least to get a good end.

The reason for the silence is that there is really not much chance of success in this matter. After a long time, Arthas said, "This is impossible. Mendel and at least fifty Force warriors guarded the castle in a well-defended manner, even though the lord of Isenburg, Eric. It is impossible for a peerless powerhouse like Curatis to break through. We, the Gregories, would never be involved in such a plan that had no chance of success, and would drag our family into the hell of Terras! ”

Rollin smiled faintly, from the reaction of the Gregorian family, he already knew that these people were all mediocre. But this is also normal, for a family, taking such a moderate path can last a long time, but this is also destined to be unable to appear in such a family.

After thinking about it, he said, "If I can have the Force, whether I can succeed or not, I am willing to give it a try for the young master." ”

The three Gregory family members in the room looked at each other, and after a long time, the old general Gris spoke: "I have one of the Force seeds." It doesn't take long to fuse the seeds, and if you insist on trying, I, as Eru's grandfather, am willing to support it, but there is one condition. ”

"Please."

"You have to be a person with no status. I don't want my family to be implicated in any way as a result of the assassination. ”

"I'm just a person with no identity, no one knows me. Not many people have seen me. Rollin laughed.

"Arthas, go get the Force seed for him!" Gris made the final decision: "Also, kill all the servants and doctors in the castle who have seen this guard!" ”

It was a cruel decision, and Rollin was noncommittal, as there was no room for him to speak now, but he knew that Eru would not let that happen.

Sure enough, Eru was taken aback and hurriedly said, "No, just be imprisoned." Grandfather, they are all innocent! ”

"Hey, take them to the basement, and if they succeed, release them again."

The implication is that if Rollin fails, these people will have to die. This was a step back, but it was still extremely cold, and the cold Eru body trembled slightly. (To be continued......)
