Dominate the world in three weeks?

Lawrence was the first to notice the flying scabbard, but it was Uriah who screamed.Moving faster than the man who is a martial artist, the weakened boy threw himself in front of Terrence.

Lawrence drew his great sword, he couldn't count on a weak child to protect the Duke's safety - but in fact, today the Legion Master fully realized all the arrogance hidden in his character.

The air began to crackle, like a pot of boiling water, and Lawrence could already feel the scorching heat, not because of the melting fire, but because of the blue-purple electric light visible to the naked eye.

Lawrence's muscular arms were already covered with small flickering electric currents. Although the movement of fighting spirit offset part of the energy, the subtle pain still invaded his nerves along the skin.

It's a mage!

Lawrence finally realized this. The other party didn't have a wizard's robe, and he didn't even have the badge of the Wizard's Association.But a person holding a weapon is not necessarily a powerful fighter, but as long as a mage has mana, no one can question his identity.

Ulea's thick flaxen-colored long hair was already fluttering due to the surging flow of elements. Behind him, the direction of scattered scabbards gathered thick thunder and lightning, forming a shimmering electric ball under the naked eye. .After the two compartments collided, the sword scabbard, which had a gorgeous appearance but was not very strong, fell apart under the whip of lightning, leaving only debris.

Ulea gasped heavily, and while the thunder elements in the air were constantly diluting, he also fell into Terrence's arms weakly.Terrence took a step back from the shock before he stabilized his body.He wiped the sweat off Uriah's head, raised his head and said to the surprised Larence, "Uriah still can't control his own strength, and in a hurry, you will suffer too."

There was still a faint green light gathering in his pupils facing the sunlight above his head. Not only that, just a second before Terrence spoke to the legion commander, the mist gathered by the wood elements on his body had just dissipated.

In fact, what surprised Lawrence even more was that in the face of such dense lightning, Terrence, who was closest to Uriah and bore the brunt, had nothing to do.He thought it was the little mage subconsciously protecting the other party, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

As the real owner of Aldelete City, any news from Terrence can flow freely in the city.Lawrence knew that the little duke had passed the test before and was a third-level wood-water dual-system mage.

Lawrence didn't know much about magic, and he also knew that Uriah's ability displayed just now was more than level three, and Terrence, who had perfectly protected himself... the legion leader quickly realized that the other party was hiding his strength.

The flash of thunder and lightning had disappeared, and Lancer ran over with a solemn expression.This time he didn't dare to get close to Terrence's side, he stopped two meters away from the little master, and carefully checked whether Terrence was injured.

After a few seconds, Lancer finally breathed a sigh of relief, and knelt down at the same time—God knows how nervous he was just now, the master was in danger in front of him, and this time it wasn't even because of his own powerlessness.If Terrence was hurt by his ugly jealousy and carelessness under unstable mood, Lancer would never be able to forgive himself.

"I frightened the master, please punish me."

His knees hit the ground with a muffled sound. Lancer didn't even wear leather armor. The knock was so strong that it hurt even others' ears.But Lancer's jaw was set, and he didn't notice it.

His face was buried in shadow by the drooping head, but Terrence could see in him a depressed mood.

This made Terrence secretly sigh.

Again he felt that he had gone too far.But this time, he couldn't harden his heart, saying that all this was due to the trick of fate, so he had to try again and again.

Terrence tasted the bitter fruit of innocence and stupidity because of Angus, and lost the courage to trust others because of Edward - he blamed the estrangement between him and Lancer on the other party's head, but in fact, there was also his own cowardice at work .

He had made up his mind to conquer Lanser, but if he only knew how to persecute someone who wanted to gain his loyalty, this method was too low-handed.

Terrence asked himself in his heart—do you still have the courage to trust someone who might betray you?

He was at a loss.

In fact, the moment he asked himself, he suddenly missed his innocent and ridiculous self.Confusion and suffering in life make people wasteful, torture and experience make people impermanent.Sometimes what we hold may be worthless, but what we let go is shining when we look back.

What can be missed may not be able to go back...

But Terrence met the sight of the blond knight who looked up because he didn't wait for an answer.The softness and firmness in the opponent's eyes intertwined into a strange glowing metallic color.He was obsessed with Lanser's disguise that went against his nature, but no matter what kind of character he was, the other party was a knight loyal to him.

——He is connected with your life.

Terrence said silently.

——But you don't even want to face any risk, don't want to show any sincerity, don't you have no courage at all?

Terrence remained silent until he felt the shackles in his heart slowly loosen.He slightly turned his eyes away, coughed, and said, "If there is anything you really want me to punish, it is that you shouldn't have knelt there motionless while I was still supporting Uriah."

Lancer opened his eyes slightly, the change was very subtle on the tense face, but Terrence could see the almost childish surprised expression of the blond knight.

Terrence, who intended to soften his attitude, frowned slightly, felt a little embarrassed, and then lowered his voice and said: "Could it be that you hurt your ears during the fight and didn't hear what I said. Or it's because the things just now didn't Hurt me, do you want me to be exhausted to death now?"

Lancer felt ashamed when he thought of the thrilling scene just now, and immediately stood up when he heard Terrence's blame.He wanted to reach out to take the weight of Yulea, but the weak boy was taken over by Lu Sien first.

Under the watchful eyes of the two people, the archer adjusted the strength of his arms so that Uriah's thin body could find a comfortable position to lie down, and said slowly: "Compared to him, you should give Heyman more A hug, sir."

Terrence and Lancer looked at Lu Sien who made the shocking remarks with strange eyes, almost wondering if he was possessed by something.

The archer went on to explain: "Whenever I frighten Uriah, which is always the case, he forgives me quickly."

Lu Sien maintained his usual dull, clumsy and ignorant, but what he said was like a silly father who was boasting to others about how to make his children happy.

Terrence turned his head unbearably, and seriously thought about whether it was a good idea to entrust Uriah to Lu Sien when he was busy.

Lu Sien didn't know why he was scorned by Terrence. He felt that according to his sixth sense, the two of them really should have hugged just now to show their intimacy.

On the other hand, Lawrence was also reprimanding his subordinates. If Fair hadn't been complacent and unwilling to fail, His Excellency the Duke would not have been nearly injured. Speaking of the culprit, it should be this stubborn man.

Fer lowered his head and looked honest, from a big bear with teeth and claws into a pitiful giant dog.Lawrence valued both kindness and majesty in the army, and no matter how arrogant a soldier was, he would restrain himself in front of him.

Lawrence noticed that Terrence was looking this way, and brought Phil to him to admit his mistake.

Terrence didn't seem to care, and said, "It was just an accident. I didn't get hurt because of it, and I have to punish him for whatever I do."

Lawrence said: "Your Excellency the Duke is open-minded, but Fair behaved badly today, and he should be punished according to the rules of the legion."

"I am very relieved that your Excellency manages the legion. I will not talk about these things."

Hearing Terrence's statement, Lawrence's expression became more relaxed. After he asked someone to take Feier down to accept punishment, he turned his head and asked, "Your subordinates are excellent and reliable. With them, your safety will also be guaranteed." I'm relieved."

After getting along with Terrence, Lawrence realized that his stubbornness was just prejudice, so when he talked to Terrence again, his tone became much better.

He continued to ask: "Mages are also powerful in battle, do you need me to arrange an opponent for you to fight again?"

Terrence glanced at him.Ulea is not strong yet, if there is anyone in their profession who is a mage, Terrence is the only one left.

It must have been noticed by Lawrence when he summoned the wood elements just now, and the other party opened his mouth to probe.

Terrence smiled, and rejected the proposal of the army leader: "Mages are not as strong as warriors. If they are injured, they will make others laugh. If they fight like the heavy swordsman just now round, there is no advantage."

He asked Lu Sien and Lanser to fight, just to tell those who are interested that he is protected by the strong, and those who have bad intentions should always weigh it.But if even his own ability is exposed, I'm afraid things will backfire.

When a weak rabbit is protected, others will not only dismiss it, but also secretly regret that the protector is in the wrong place.But if a rabbit is replaced by a lion, people should think about how to kill the lion while its claws are not yet sharp.

Although Lawrence was rude, he had rich experience and quickly understood the meaning of Terrence's words. He nodded in agreement, but he was still worried: "According to your age, you should go to the academy this winter. Strength is emphasized there, and there is no It's easy to deal with like now. What's more, you are old, and you should have a skill to avoid disappointing those who support you."

"Thank you for thinking about my situation, but I have my own plans and I won't be so careless. The Goshawk Legion is in trouble now. If you believe me, you shouldn't hide it. You should go to the City Lord's Mansion this morning to talk about it. "

Lawrence looked embarrassed. Two hours ago, he thought that the newly appointed young duke was probably an idiot, but now that the other party said so, it made his face turn red.

The city of Aldelete was controlled by some people for profit, and the military supplies of the legion were stretched. Although it would not be embarrassing to the end, it was difficult to support its majesty and glory.

The tax official is a treacherous person who is good at observing words and expressions, and flattering people. Lawrence has long been prepared—the newly arrived city will be deceived by his rhetoric, which is why it is difficult for Terrence to have a good impression.

Even if Terrence was sane, facing the huge chain of interests, he would inevitably be restrained and unable to do anything.

Terrence was noncommittal about the army commander's concerns, but if the other party thought that he had nothing to do, Terrence hadn't reached such a weak and incompetent level.

"Although I can't eradicate these moths now, I won't be controlled by them. I have already taken back the mining rights of the mine in the south of the city and handed it over to the Legion. At least part of the raw materials for making weapons and armor are guaranteed. As for other things that need money If the allocated funds are not enough, they can be directly withdrawn from my treasury."

Lawrence frowned and said, "The legion's expenses are not a small sum."

"I know this. Since I have such a plan, I will definitely have enough wealth."

During this year, Terrence, by taking charge of the family, took back part of the property that the other party took advantage of the chaos, and formed a cooperative relationship with Stiller, a big businessman who settled in the imperial capital, and made a lot of money from it. .

Lawrence found that the little duke was far more powerful than he thought or anyone thought. He thought that Aldret, with the blessing of God, would be even more brilliant in the future.

The author has something to say: The knight and the little duke have finally passed a hurdle, and the relationship line has finally stepped on a new level in this part ＿:(??｀∠):＿

Tomorrow (no, it should be today. If there is no accident, the Duke will finally go to school with all the money, and then win over new subordinates. Yesterday Kavinka's face was bloody, and he said a joke, don't take it seriously. (.﹏.*) I was wrong... I will never make such jokes again in the future. The author is relatively unscrupulous and has very little bottom line.
