I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

In a trance, John began to climb down, and almost lost his grip and fell off the lighthouse.

He didn't know how he got back to the villa, but he felt absent-minded along the way, as if his eyes were blinded by the devil and his soul was pulled into the abyss.

He sat alone in the living room, with no spirit in his eyes. His faith was collapsing and his hair was gradually turning gray.

By betraying Beth, the person who saved Ultron, he could immediately save his friend.

Even because of Beth's death, the entire city was spared from the memorial service for the Dragon King.

The belief in his heart and the desire to save his friend became two different forces at this moment. These two forces continued to fight in John's heart.

“Sometimes, you have to make hard choices in hard times.”

This is what Uranus said to John.

John knew that these were indeed difficult times and that he had to make difficult choices.

He looked up and had already made a decision in his mind.

Beth, if you came back, what would you do?

Continue your kingdom of God on earth, continue your inhumane rule as a tyrant?

John slowly closed his eyes and said, "Beth, you did save the Youlun family. My behavior could be considered shameless."

No, not maybe, this is shameless.

At this moment, John's eyes were filled with determination. The way of chivalry collapsed in his heart, and something else was born in his heart.

He couldn't comprehend what it was yet, but he certainly felt it.

If Beth wanted to blame him, that was her call. John no longer cared. It was just a life for a life.

The white hair on his head turned black again, and even had a hint of gold. It was a newly born power that no one could detect before it was fully awakened.

He slowly stood up and walked towards the Youlun family's room.

He didn't knock on the door, but pushed it open directly. Now was not the time to be afraid of being disturbed, now was the time to resolve everything.

As the door opened, Youlun and his wife looked at the door curiously. John was looking at them with a solemn expression and deep eyes.

The couple was very surprised that John came without even knocking on the door.

"John, you..."

John stretched out a finger, put it to his mouth, pointed outside, and motioned for the two to come out and talk.

Youlun and his wife looked at each other. Alice in the middle had fallen asleep. They had said everything they needed to say.

He stood up and followed John out of the room. John took the two of them all the way to the basement, which was where the villa stored alcohol.

I light a candle. Even though there is no wind, the candlelight keeps swaying. Tonight's conversation is destined to be restless.

The conversations here are not easy to spread out and will definitely not be heard by the saints above.

"John, why did you bring us here suddenly?"

Youlun looked at the wine barrels around him and asked John.

John turned and looked at the two of them. His eyes were clearly black and white, but his eye sockets were completely obscured by darkness.

"I have a way to let your whole family survive. Just stay here, reunite, and live freely in this city."

Youlun was startled. He quickly put his hand on John's forehead, feeling his body temperature which was no different from that of an ordinary person. He grabbed Youlun's shoulders and said sadly:

"John, accept the reality. We have no other options. We are also ready to die. As long as you and Mr. Knight take Alice away..."

John suddenly grabbed Youlun's collar, and his black pupils stared into Youlun's eyes, as if he wanted to nail Youlun's soul through his eyes.

"Youlun, listen to me first."

Youlun looked into John's eyes. He had never seen such a look in his friend's eyes. It was as if there was endless darkness in those eyes.

"What do you want to say?"

Youlun looked at John, trying to read something in his eyes, but he could see nothing.

John lets Ulon go.

"That Mr. Knight, his real identity is Beth."

"what?!"

Youlun was shocked and covered his mouth tightly. He couldn't believe his ears. How could this be possible?

The creator of God’s kingdom on earth was actually right beside him and had saved him.

John ignored Youlun's shock. He grabbed Youlun's shoulders, his face full of ferocity, and stared at Youlun:

"Youlun, as long as you betray Beth, you can live happily here with your wife and your daughter, as long as you go to the lord's mansion to report her."

"what!"

The wife screamed beside her. She couldn't imagine that such words came from the mouth of a knight with such righteous character.

John is a gift from God. He is a knight who values ​​faith more than life.

Youlun looked at John in disbelief.

Beth had saved his life, Beth had saved his family.

No matter how many disasters Beth's kingdom on earth has caused, and no matter how many people have lived in endless pain, Beth has never let Youlan down, and Beth deserves Youlan's family.

"No, John, I can't do that."

Youlun clenched his teeth, his face gradually distorted, his heart was full of struggle, but he still rejected John.

John watched his friend struggle. He had struggled like this before, but he knew that this was the only way to save Youlon's family.

It has nothing to do with justice or belief. This is a choice, the most advantageous choice.

"Youlun, people must make the most difficult decisions in the most difficult times."

These words were spoken by Ulon to John, and now John returns them to Ulon.

John did not press Eulen, he said:

"Whatever choice you make, Youlun, I support you."

After leaving these words, John left the basement, leaving the space to the couple.

Youlun stood there in a daze. He watched John leave, and his heart seemed to collapse. He felt as if the whole world was pressing down on him, trying to crush him into powder.

"Youlun..."

The wife looked at Youlun with pity, she knew the struggle in her husband's heart, for as a woman who was assigned to different men all year round, she did not have any great desires.

This period of time is her happiest moment. During these days of reunion, she has been satisfied watching her daughter grow up.

"Youlun, no matter what you do, I support you."

Youlun buried his head in his wife's arms, tears streaming down his nose.

"We can't do this. We can't betray Beth. Beth has done nothing wrong to us. She even swore to protect our little Alice..."

"You've done good enough, you've done good enough..."

The couple's tears seemed to have completely dried up on this day. The turning points and choices in life continued to torment their souls and consciences.

The two of them supported each other and walked through the dark tunnel stairs towards where Alice was sleeping.

He opened the door gently and closed it gently. When Youlun saw Alice's sleeping face again, the devil in his heart erupted again.

He didn't want much, he just wanted to be with his family, that's really all he wanted.
