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

Aimee and the others actually don't know much about Addley's situation.

A Scourge Mage would, under any circumstances, become the target of the nobles' efforts to win over.

But this Edley, his situation in the giant wolf territory is obviously not good.

Can't even say it's bad, but very bad.

Just look at his clothes, he is wearing a repairman's outfit and looks more like a worker.

Aimee looked at Addley's embarrassed expression and thought for a moment, wondering if the pressure was too great.

"Don't worry, Mage Edley. I believe every Scourge Mage has his or her own unique qualities."

Aimee spoke up to comfort Adderley.

Adley's face turned pale instantly and he mumbled for a long time, an expression of wanting to say something but not daring to, all revealed on his face.

Aimee looked at Bennett. Bennett thought about it and sent a telepathic message to Aimee:

"Why not just tie him up and bring him back to Razlan first."

Aimee shook her head, thinking this was not a good idea.

She began to think back to Bennett's experience of becoming a wizard, and felt that if she wanted to make this man loyal to her, she had to start from the wizard's side.

"Can you talk about the moment you became a Scourge Mage? I'm very curious about the birth of a Scourge Mage."

Aimee said.

Adley looked at Bennett. There was a Scourge Mage here. This Scourge Mage was so powerful and he was also her husband. Would she really be interested?

When Bennett saw Edley looking at him, he suddenly thought and continued what Aimee said:

"You can understand that I am more curious about the moment when your Scourge Rune was born. Your Scourge Rune is very peculiar. Understanding new things is a mage's instinct, isn't it?"

Edley thought of the years when he was not yet a Scourge Mage, and agreed with Bennett's words, but he still had doubts, so he said:

"When this Calamity Rune of mine was created, there was no other place. Even so, do you still want to listen?"

"That's more worthy of exploration, isn't it?"

Edley looked at Bennett. He didn't know whether Bennett was laughing at his bad taste or he really wanted to explore these things, but now, he still wanted to describe the scene at that time.

This was the proudest moment in his life, but also the beginning of his pain.

"I was originally a wizard's apprentice. Under my teacher's guidance, I repaired an old water pump and studied wizardry..."

……

"Teacher, I think this machine can be modified to be more efficient."

Adley wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face filled with a youthful smile, innocent and pure.

The old wizard looked back at Edley, a dim light emanating from his eyes, which was close to blue, but more like gray.

"Don't do useless things. Our main task is to help the Knight repair his armor.

These steam engines are just useless things. If the owner of the mine was not the knight's brother, we would not be here at all."

Adley sighed and followed the old wizard back to his spell workshop.

It was boring to brand runes on the armor. The Grand Duke was very generous and gave a lot of gold coins, so the mages here lived a comfortable life.

Repair armor at work, go to nightclubs after get off work, scatter gold coins everywhere, and overflow the silver cup with red in the night.

But Adley was not interested in these. He was more interested in the idea that suddenly popped up in his mind that day.

So, on countless nights, a blueprint appeared in his room. He hid it and began to save gold coins, hoping to build this new machine one day.

However, one day, a group of knights appeared at Adderley's home.

They roughly grabbed Adley and began to search his room. They took away the drawings and dug out the gold coins.

"It is indeed this guy."

"A spy, or did he sell the parts privately?"

"Then let the Knight ask."

Just like that, without saying anything, Adli was dragged to a castle and came before a knight in white armor.

Adley recognized the knight in white armor. It was this knight in white armor who asked him and the teacher to repair the water pump.

The knights put Adley down, and Adley looked at the knight in white armor in horror. He knew that this knight was the strongest knight under the Grand Duke and also a knight bestowed by God.

Adley believed that the knight would give him justice.

"Sir Knight, I am innocent."

The white-armored knight looked at Adley with cold eyes and asked:

"What injustice has happened to you?"

Adley said quickly:

"I am not a spy and I am not selling parts."

The knight said nothing more, but looked outside the castle.

An old man was pulled in front of the knight. His eyes were full of death and there was no life on his face.

But when the old man saw Adley, he was still shocked, and then anger appeared on his face.

The knight in white armor looked at the old man's angry expression, and his expression finally changed subtly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"I ask you, why did you damage the axle of the pump? Do you know how many people lost their mines due to the damage to the pump?"

The old man glanced at Adley, his eyes showing determination, and said loudly:

"It wasn't us who damaged the axle. It was your brother who had the people of Rose Nation damage the axle for a few women."

The veins on the white-armored knight's head bulged, making people wonder if he would kill the old man on the spot the next moment.

But the knight still held back, because he was a knight given by God and the representative of human virtues.

"Someone, bring him over to me."

The ordinary knights next to them obviously knew everything, but someone gave a death order that no faults should be implicated on the God-given knights and their families.

"My Lord, I wonder who you are going to press over?"

Their hesitation made the knight understand everything.

The knight in white armor had his eyes wide open, as if fire was spitting out of his eyes.

In his opinion, just saying the name of this brother who betrayed the territory made the knight feel ashamed.

"If you don't want to go, fine, I'll go myself."

"Wait a minute."

A middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker with a giant wolf emblem appeared. He adjusted the lace on his cuffs, walked up to the white-armored knight, and said:

"That mine is of great importance and is one of the important sources of income for the territory. This matter also involves your family. I have reason to suspect that you will protect your family."

The knight in white armor widened his eyes. He simply couldn't believe that the lord who had always treated him as a brother would say such heartless words.

As long as the old wizard knew that if the lord was allowed to handle this matter, all the blame would fall on him and his apprentice in the end.

But it was too late now. When the lord just appeared, a knight had already stepped forward and completely blocked their mouths.

The knight in white armor looked at the lord with a stern face. He could not accept the humiliation of not being trusted, and he could not accept the archduke doubting his character. He drew his sword and was ready to die on the spot to prove his integrity.
