Chapter 1774 Gretel: Ask me if I want to go to the White Wolf Collar?
The two old men sat facing each other, looking at each other's deep wrinkles and exhaustion in the dim sunlight.One has white hair like snow, and the other has a body as strong as steel.
30 years earlier, even, 20 years earlier, they were not afraid of anything.The white wolf and the big bear, the two brothers joined hands, can resist the most ferocious attack, and can make the barbarians rushing like a tide lie down on the frontier...
It allows your own warriors to walk out of the swamp on the corpses of their enemies without even getting the soles of their shoes wet.
But they are all old.
When you are too old to fight with all your strength again, you will lose the few remaining life spans;
Those who are too old may not be able to watch the new generation grow up, with sufficient strength and character, and then hand over the future of the family to them;
Too old...to give birth to another child in person.
They can only choose among existing children.However, looking left and right, none of them are satisfactory, none of them have shortcomings, and none of them... are too immature.
If you want these children to take the helm of the family, I am afraid that if you are not careful, the whole big ship will capsize!
After all, the current situation is getting more and more dangerous and intense.If the previous family was driving on the wide but often strong winds of the Varenne River, then, now, they have already sailed out of the river and into the vast Dadong Bay.
The depth of the sea, the force of the wind, the multi-sidedness of the ocean currents, the fragmented fjords on the shore, and the complex waterways brought by the fjords... are not comparable to driving in the river before.
"Lenny... In terms of strength alone, he is the best of the third generation. However, his temperament is a bit gloomy, not so open and aboveboard, and not too broad-minded. It's my fault..."
[Big Bear] Albery sighed for a long time:
"After little Leon became paralyzed, I never cared enough about him. As for Lenny, before, I only regarded him as a comfort to Leon. I gave him money and resources, but I didn't give him much guidance, let alone He treats him as a child of the family..."
Leon, his shrewdest son, had not left his wheelchair for decades after being paralyzed.Even if the family can guarantee his status as the family's counselor, the state of mind of a paralyzed person is still different from that of a normal person.
As for Lenny, he grew up as a warrior and peripheral member of the family, not as a direct descendant.In his upbringing, he had never considered the overall interests of the family and assumed the fate of the family.
"If it's just a gloomy temper, it's okay to say that the Askan family has never had a gloomy and withdrawn patriarch." The old white wolf commented:
"But this kid... he is too close to the Holy See, too close... Some time ago, he broke through to the Sky Knight, and the medicines and resources he used were all from there... Also, around him, that A few people from the Glorious Holy See..."
[Big Bear] Albery snorted coldly:
"I can smell that stench two miles away, even in my sleep! It's not that the Glorious Vatican is all bad people, there are noble ascetic monks, and there are priests who diligently take care of the people. However, if you want to be the head of the house, You must know where the roots of the family are!"
"The child is still young, let's take a look again." [White Wolf] William, who has white beard and hair, slowed down his voice, persuading leisurely:
"Besides, who else can this family give it to?"
When it came to this issue, the two old men were silent for a while.After a while, Bai Lang finally commented with a wry smile:
"Julian can't bear hardships very much. Even if he leads soldiers out, he refuses to live in the same tents and eat the same food as the soldiers. Simon is too hardworking. I always feel that there will be trouble one day."
"Linus is pretty good, but it's a pity that he's too young, too young... A 15-year-old child is already a seventh-level knight, and his aptitude can be said to be very good, but no one can say whether he can become a sky knight... If... ..."
As soon as the word "if" came out, the two old men fell silent again and looked eastward in unison.In that direction, far, far away, there is a child, who is also of the Askan family's blood...
Or, with a high probability, it is the blood of the Askan family.
"If Gretl is willing to return to the family..."
"He can't." Before the younger brother finished speaking, the elder brother and the head of the family had already vetoed it:
"A magician is not suitable to be the head of a family. On the one hand, this will immediately trigger the intervention of the Glorious Holy See, and even several legends will come over to intervene directly with force; on the other hand, a magician will not put his thoughts on the family territory. .”
[White Wolf] William's voice was full of regret, but his tone was extremely firm:
"Of course, if he can take care of the family for a period of time...a high-level mage, a high-level mage who is almost destined to become a legend..."
Unknowingly, great desire was revealed in his voice.
If such a high-level mage can build a mage tower in the family territory and pay attention to the family from afar, then, at least at least, he can also take care of the family for 30 to [-] years, right?
If you think about it better, you can do it in 60 or [-] years!
To this end, the resources that the family can contribute...territory, magic crystal mines, magic materials, sending a few apprentices there...as long as he is willing to accept them, these are all small things...
"What are you thinking about?" After thinking for a long time, Bai Lang suddenly laughed:
"It's hard to say whether he will come or not. Well, if I were him, I wouldn't want to come either. A magician with a bright future, a legend in the future, what's wrong with staying in Nevis, you must come here ..."
It's remote and dangerous, and it's easy to conflict with the Glory Holy See.In terms of how many resources there are, the territory of their Askan family and the entire Kingdom of Kent are definitely not comparable -
It is said that the child is currently conducting research on Long Island?The entire Dragon Island devotes all its energy to enshrining, which is many times more than what their family can provide!
"Well, even if he is willing to come over to take a look...can confirm his relationship with the family, and can have an excuse to intervene...if necessary, he can send someone to intervene..."
In this way, the only legend in the family, their great-uncle, can be much less stressed.It would be even better if it could be delayed until the second legend appeared in the family...
A magician who took the healer route, a high-level mage, he wouldn't be too greedy to sell the whole family, right?
The two old men sighed sadly.On the distant Dragon Island, Gretel was staring at a specially encrypted document that only he could read:
"Ascan Territory? The territory where my father is? There may be a change in the right of succession, and there are signs of interference from the Radiant Holy See?"
"Ask me if I would like to go over there and recognize them? If necessary, can the parliament use my name to interfere with their inheritance?"
"I did a good job on Long Island!"
