Retirement from Hogwarts

"But I'm afraid your generals don't think so. If I guessed correctly that when you set out, all the generals who opposed your return were arranged by you in southern Xinjiang."

"Of course, the southern border is the kingdom's most important line of defense against the invasion of Warcraft, and it must always maintain sufficient combat power. Those who oppose me are elites in the army. Even if they do not oppose me, I will keep them. over there."

"Does that mean you brought back a bunch of idiots?"

"This..."

Charlemagne nodded awkwardly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will misunderstand you?"

"Would you mistake me? This is impossible. Although they are a bit stupid, there is no doubt that they are excellent knights who are loyal to the kingdom."

"Really?"

The mysterious man gently stretched out a hand and lit the crystal ball on the table.

When Charlemagne saw the picture on the crystal ball, the sword in his hand fell to the floor of the room with a clang.

"They...how dare they!"

"Haven't you figured out such a simple thing? Because they are a bunch of fools who are blinded by profits."

"If this is not true, I will search the whole world to find you!"

After speaking, Charlemagne picked up Milanna behind him and rushed out without looking back.

. . . . . .

"I am the princess of the kingdom, how dare you do this to me!"

Irabeth, who was standing on the boulder, looked at the red knights surrounding him in panic and shouted loudly.

"Princess? Soon you won't be anymore. After you and Milana are dead, the last stepping stone that hinders the prince from ascending the throne will be gone."

"Prince? When did I have a brother?"

"Brother? Stupid girl, of course you don't have a brother, but you do have a cousin."

The leading knight mocked.

"You...so you arranged all this!" Irabeth shouted angrily.

"Us? You should say that your cousin arranged all this. We don't have the courage. Stop talking nonsense, little girl. I still understand that bad guys die from talking too much. Let me send you on your way now. Bar."

The leading knight raised his knight's spear and stabbed Irabeth, who was standing on the boulder.

"stop!"

A loud shout frightened the knight's hand, and the spear in his hand missed the target, only piercing Irabeth's arm.A few drops of blood dripped down Irabeth's arm and onto the boulder beneath her.

"Lanceville, what are you doing!"

Charlemagne's angry voice came from far away on the hillside behind the boulder.

The missed spear trembled under Charlemagne's voice, and struck Irabeth again like lightning.

Charlemagne looked at the spear stabbing Irabeth with horror, and fiercely threw his dagger towards Lanceville.

"careful!"

A voice from nowhere woke up the frightened Irabeth.Regardless of the height of the boulder, she leaned back and fell down.

However, Irabeth's small resistance seemed so insignificant in Lancewell's eyes. He just slightly changed the angle of his wrist, and the knight gun continued to stab Irabeth's chest.

At the moment when the knight's spear was about to hit Irabeth's chest, the whole world seemed to be angered by this rebellious act and shook violently.

"

Boom~"

With a bang, the boulder under Irabeth's feet seemed to have been buried with explosives, and violent explosions erupted.The knight whom Charlemagne called Lanswell was shot into a sieve by spiky rock fragments.Several other knight squires who followed were also seriously injured in the explosion.

A purple ball of light appeared on the grass after the smoke dissipated, protecting Irabeth inside.Charlemagne looked at the ball of light in front of him and couldn't help but tighten his grip on the sword in his hand.

"Ow~"

A black giant-headed dragon stood vigilantly in front of Irabeth and growled threateningly at Charlemagne.

"Relax, little one. Relax. I'm not a bad person."

Charlemagne slowly inserted his long sword into the scabbard, slowly raised his hands and stepped back.

"Uncle Charlemagne, what is that?"

Milanna carefully looked at the strange creature behind the light, and a curious look flashed in her eyes.

"I didn't expect it to be the Acanthus. This is one of the few rare species that can be reborn like a phoenix." The mysterious man they met in the farmhouse didn't know when they appeared behind them.Staring at the spiny-headed sharp-toothed dragon in front of him, he clicked his tongue in wonder. "It's a pity that he has already recognized his master, otherwise it would be good to use him as a test subject when the time comes."

"Who is Your Excellency!"

Charlemagne looked at the mysterious man who appeared silently behind him, and quietly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

"Ow~"

The Acanthus behind the barrier roared again the moment Charlemagne pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and sprayed a series of small lightning bolts at him.

However, this string of lightning did nothing except create a string of sparks on Charlemagne's coat.It was clear that maintaining the barrier around Irabeth was taking all his strength.

The mysterious man had an inexplicable smile on his lips under his hood, ignoring Charlemagne's question.He walked straight towards the barrier surrounding Irabeth.As he approached, bolts of lightning shot towards him continuously.But when the lightning reached his surroundings, they all stopped in front of him as if they encountered some strange barrier.

"Little one, although you are somewhat capable, you are still far from being able to deal with me."

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly on the purple barrier.In an instant, a dark purple ripple swept across the entire barrier.Then, the entire barrier shattered into pieces like glass struck by a giant hammer.

"What a naughty little guy." He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Spinosaurus that wanted to bite him.

Then, he tugged hard.The tail of the Acanthus was pulled out from Irabeth's nostril with a bloody arrow.

"Although these guys are rare, they have a bad habit." The mysterious man explained while looking at the worried two people. "They like to put part of their brain inside their master's head."

"Put it in your master's head?!"

"That way they can better sense what their owners are thinking."

"In order to sense the master's thoughts? Can't they survive alone? If it's just to sense the thoughts, why stop it?" Milanna looked at the Acanthus in the hands of the mysterious man and asked strangely.

"Irabeth is too young to accept this kind of ritual now. And there is a better way now." He said as he took off a white crystal from the abdomen of the Acanthus.Then he let go of Xiaolong, waved his wand and embedded the crystal into the center of a mithril bracelet.

"Give it to him when Irabeth comes of age. Don't let anyone but Irabeth touch this bracelet."

The mysterious man put the bracelet into a black velvet box and solemnly handed it to Charlemagne who was standing aside.
