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

"If the Archmage really can't hold on, you have to protect yourself first, Bennett. You don't just belong to yourself."

In the room, Aimee helped Bennett adjust the collar of his wizard robe and smooth out the patterned stirrups.

"I understand. It's not feasible. I will find a way to escape back first."

Bennett agreed.

They both fell silent. Ai Mei pondered for a while, but still couldn't find a reason to keep him, so she could only say:

"Go ahead and come back soon."

Bennett left the room, walked through the corridor covered with Warcraft carpet, and headed towards the living room.

A lot of people had gathered in the living room, and everyone was silent.

Belodis examined the elven longbow, carefully checking every corner of it, especially the rune carvings, to see if there were any cracks.

She was fully armed, with a dagger tied to her leg, an elven sword slung at her waist, and a quiver full of arrows on her back.

The green leather armor still exposed a large area of ​​whiteness, and except for the maid, no one was looking at her.

The dwarf Groin was drunk last night, but he was not affected at all today, and his huge hammer was still carried on his back.

He didn't drink today, but just sat quietly on the sofa. He no longer had the energy to fight the elves as before.

Beth was oiling her sword. Her sword was made of pure gold and would not rust at all, but maintaining her equipment still allowed her to gain a brief moment of peace.

"Is everyone ready?"

Bennett looked at everyone in the living room and asked.

Belodis drew her longbow, then slowly put it back, saying:

"This is something the world is not perfectly prepared for."

Beth sheathed her sword and said:

"I'm almost done."

The dwarf looked at Bennett and said:

"The Archmage hasn't come yet."

Bennett glanced outside the castle and said:

"She is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the great wizard took the white-haired girl's hand and walked into the living room.

The Archmage was still wearing the same purple off-shoulder dress, which was even more revealing than Belodis.

Denise was wearing a traditional wizard robe and holding a brown staff with a magic core embedded in it.

Bennett looked at the magic core. It was not a magic core of a monster, but a magic core of a human. The rune of the magic core was a meteorite disaster.

"Since we are all here, Bennett, you can activate the teleportation formation."

Bennett nodded, and everyone stood up and walked towards Bennett.

Taking out the spell book, a circular formation rose from the ground. Bennett adjusted the runes on it and said to everyone:

"Everyone, come up."

The Archmage looked at Bennett's rune array, touched his chin, and said with interest:

"Have you determined the center point of the coordinates? If I'm not mistaken, it's this castle."

Bennett did not refute, but just said:

"With the center point, it is indeed much more convenient to teleport the array."

The archmage nodded and took Denise towards the teleportation array.

"Wait, Archmage, who is she?"

The dwarf Groin suddenly spoke up, pointing at Denise and saying:

"We're not going on an outing, don't bring the kids over."

Beth glanced at Denise and said nothing, which was considered as her agreement with Groin's remarks.

Belodis also looked at Denise and said:

"Master, I don't think we are strong enough to take a child around randomly."

The archmage looked at Bennett, wanting to see what Bennett would say.

Bennett looked at Denise and asked:

"What do you think, Denise, why did you come along?"

Denise subconsciously stepped back, but the archmage held her hand, so she could only retreat behind the archmage, looking at everyone with some grievance.

Everyone looked at the archmage, wanting him to give an explanation.

Bennett also looked at the archmage. Denise's ability was not enough to participate in a war of their level anyway.

"Bennett, in your heart, what exactly is Denise to you?"

The Archmage looked directly at Bennett and asked.

Bennett suddenly felt a headache and said:

"Denise is very important to me, but that's why I don't want to take her with me without being able to guarantee her safety.

Grand Master, no matter how I feel about Denise, I cannot die before her. I don't want to say hypocritical lies. Although it sounds bad, I also have my difficulties. "

Denise looked at Bennett with tears in her eyes.

Bennett felt helpless. In this situation, if he said he would risk his life to protect Denise, it would be irresponsible to the people around him. Leaving Denise behind was the best option.

"Bennett, Denise is my only disciple. I can protect her while I am alive. But who can protect her if I die?"

The Archmage pulled Denise in front of him, forced her to stand in front of everyone, and said:

"If she can't become stronger, who among you will risk your life for her?"

She looked at Belodis again and said:

"Who came to the Human Empire and proposed the new human training plan? Who provided the human mages with the doctrine of spiritual freedom for the immortal species?

Don't you elves have any responsibility for everything I did afterwards? If you didn't want to win over the magician, why did so many things happen?"

Belodis looked ashamed. It was she who went to meet those wizards, and it was also she who proposed the plan of creating new humans with immortality.

She looked at the dwarf Groin and said:

"You keep asking me to solve the problem from the past. Now that I have agreed to it, are you not going to let me keep the last inheritance?"

The dwarf Groin's face froze. He wanted to say that it was none of his business, but the dwarf's values ​​did not allow him to say such cruel words.

He turned his head away and said nothing.

The Archmage looked at Beth again and said directly:

"If you haven't read half a book and can't read a few words, you have no right to speak."

Beth: “???”

Finally, the Archmage looked at Bennett solemnly and said:

"Bennett, what about you? What do you think? You are the one who is most capable of protecting Denise here.

What do you think? Let her be a dispensable pendant by your side, or let her become self-reliant. "

The great wizard's words were sharp and aggressive.

Bennett was extremely helpless, but this incident really couldn't have any accidents. He said:

"Master, why are you so anxious? There are so many of us, how can we let you just..."

"Shut up, Bennett, if you are still a man and have a sense of responsibility in your heart, you should answer me directly.

If you still have this poor child in your heart, you should help her grow up instead of keeping her by your side and making her a toy for you to show off.

How did you help Beth, how did you help Aimee, how did you help Helen, and how come when it comes to Denise, you just won't do anything?"

The Archmage looked at Bennett, her face full of anger, but in the end, the expression on her face softened.

After a long silence, she almost pleaded:

"Bennett, I am the only one left of Denise's family."
