During the riot in Lord Olvia's Hall, Jonathan Olvia and I had a head-on magical duel, and were almost controlled by the Sword of Mordred in the end. Fortunately, Thok Olvia separated the two of us, and then
This duel was stopped.
While I was struggling painfully with the bloodlust in my heart, Sok Olvia gave me a bottle of blue potion to help me suppress the pain in my heart. Then, Sok Olvia
He temporarily stopped the Lords Council and led Laura and me out of the Lords Hall to his study.
The furnishings in the study are simple and simple, but there is a hint of indescribable luxury.
As soon as Laura helped me into Sok's study, I couldn't help but say "Wow". I watched her curiously as she walked around, looked here and there, touched this, touched that, just like a country person entering the city.
Likewise, there is absolutely no etiquette for a noble lady.
After Sock Olvia asked me to sit on a velvet-covered chair, he also sat down and quietly watched Laura jumping around. After a while, I shouted: "Laura
, come and sit down." She reluctantly came over and did it.
But as soon as she sat down, her conversation started: "Mr. Sock, please tell me, is the dragon claw skeleton in the corner really the legendary dragon you killed when you were young?" Laura pointed to the corner in excitement.
A skeleton of an animal's paw suspended from a string.
I asked: "Isn't it said that dragons were all slaughtered in the ancient era of great purges? How could any dragons survive?"
Sok Olvia looked at the so-called 'dragon claw' skeleton and laughed: "Oh, that thing is not worth mentioning. In fact, to be precise, it is the skeleton of a small dragon. I traveled there when I was young.
Sifang met him by chance in a deserted place. Of course, Long's character is very evil, so I had to kill him in order to protect myself."
Laura and I were so shocked that our jaws almost dropped. Laura hurriedly ran to a shelf similar to a medicine cabinet and said: "Mr. Sock, Mr. Sock, this cabinet is your most proud one, which is called accommodating eight wastes."
The potion cabinet of the 'Olvia Family Medicine Store'?" After hearing such a long list, I was a little confused.
Sok Olvia smiled sheepishly and waved his hand: "It's just a hobby. The heirloom potion cabinet of your Hurley family is no worse than this potion cabinet of mine."
Laura listened, curled her lips and said: “Hey, don’t mention it, our potion cabinet is much smaller than this one, only one-third of the size of this one, and many medicinal materials are not available, so when my father prepared the potion,
, I often go to Merlin Academy to find medicinal materials."
The eldest daughter of a nobleman actually belittled her family's family heritage in front of outsiders, which shows the status of the Olvia family medicine store.
Laura wanted to ask again, but Sok Olvia spoke first: "You two are free to visit my study, but I want to answer Mr. Henmo's question first. Mr. Henmo, please allow me to represent Olvia."
The Via family would like to extend its highest respect to you and your family." After saying that, Sok Olvia stood up slowly and bowed deeply.
I was so frightened that I jumped up from the velvet seat. I couldn't bear such high courtesy from such a respected old man.
"Mr. Sok, don't be like this. I'm just a commoner. You are the leader of the family and the lord of the fief. I can't bear this." As I said that, I quickly gave up my seat to Sok Olvia.
Sock Olvia was obviously a little excited: "People are sentimental, Mr. Henmo, since the tragedy of the Corinan family happened, I thought I would never see anyone from the Corinan family again in this life, but I didn't expect
, at that time Wilhelmed wrote to me, telling me that Xi Wei’s son is still alive and coming to see me, which is the glory of our Olvia family.”
I nodded: "Mr. Sock, we do have many questions to ask you along the way."
Sok Olvia waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. I won't arrange anything else today. You can ask questions as much as you like, and no one will disturb us."
I glanced at Laura and asked seriously: "Mr. Sok Olvia." Hearing my full name, Sok Olvia seemed to have guessed what I was going to ask, "Why do you indulge your subordinates?"
The Desolation Magician Group and the bandits are colluding together, working together to massacre the villages and towns in the fiefdom. Do you know what the lives of the villages they plundered are like?" As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Now I don't know if the time is right for me to say this, but the words have come out and there is nothing I can do about it.
After listening to this, Sok Olvia was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Hey, Mr. Hummel, Miss Laura, I have heard rumors about what you are talking about. But Olvia Mountain is not only
The inheritance of the family is the center of the fiefdom lord. Once the internal affairs of the family are linked to the governance of the fiefdom, it will become very complicated. The problem you mentioned about the desolate magicians group colluding with bandits is one of them."
"Then why don't you solve it?" Laura asked excitedly.
Sok Olvia looked at Laura and then at me, and said helplessly: "I am old and have only one son, Jonathan's father. But in my early years, when I responded to the king's call to go on an expedition,
, he died on the battlefield. Only my only grandson, Jonathan, was left, leaving us and our grandson to depend on each other. I regard Jonathan as the most important treasure in my life, and I will answer his every request. In the past few years, I have watched him grow up.
As an adult, I wanted him to independently lead part of the affairs of Mount Olvia. He did well at first, but later, he fell deeply in love with the most proud disciple I had in my later years - Richards May.
Elkado. He begged me to let Richards lead the Magicians of Desolation. Richards is my most proud apprentice. She is extremely talented and smart. If I want to hand it over to her, there should be no problem. Not to mention Jonathan
I have a deep love for her, and I think that if they can get married in the future, it will be of great benefit to the management of Olvia Mountain."
"So you just give them power and let them do whatever they want?" I thought about the hardship of life in Eldo Village, and the anger in my heart gradually started to burn again.
"As the current head of the Olvia family, I am responsible for the Olvia family, but I have not been interested in these affairs since I was a child. I like to travel around the world and study herbal medicine and various historical materials. Hey, these are my
problem." Sok Olvia's tone was full of disappointment and self-blame.
Laura couldn't help it and said loudly: "Then since you knew this, why didn't you deprive them of their power, stop these behaviors, and take measures to make up for it?"
Sock Olvia just looked at the two of us with red eyes: "I believe Jonathan and Richards are good kids. They made mistakes, but they were not irredeemable. Moreover, I have been giving
Villages within the territory are provided with living allowances and various grains, rice, seeds and livestock so that they can live with peace of mind."
"Oh, then you should go see with your own eyes how they are living. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will definitely kill them both and let their heads come to Eldo Village to give an explanation!" I
I don't know when my eyes were bloodshot and I stood up.
At this time Laura also looked at me in horror: "Henmo, put down your sword! This is Mount Olvia! What do you want to do!" I suddenly woke up and looked down at the Sword of Mordred.
I don't know when I took it in my hand, the elemental energy expanded rapidly, and the water element seemed to be surging uneasily in it.
I quickly threw the sword away, but Thork Olvia just took out a bottle of blue potion again and gave it to me to drink. He leaned over and picked up the Sword of Mordred, looked at it in his hand, and said to us:
"You two, I promise you that I will summon the leaders of the villages and settlements in the territory. I believe that the Corinan family and the Hurley family, as one of the three major magic nobles, will not spread rumors or lie. So, don't worry, I
I will give you and the people in the territory an explanation. Now I think we should help Mr. Henmo answer his question first."
After losing control of my emotions twice, I felt exhausted and dizzy. I sat slumped in a chair. Sok Olvia carefully observed the Sword of Mordred and said: "This sword is the heirloom magic of the Hurley family.
A dagger, a sword of guardianship, but actually, it has another name, the Sword of Mordred." As he said that, Sok Olvia put down his sword, came to the bookshelf and looked up to look for something carefully.
"Ah, this is the book." With a wave of his hand, a book fell into his hand from the bookshelf. He picked up the book, turned to one of the pages, and then returned to his seat to point it out to Laura.
: "Here, this sword is said to have the power of black magic. It can control people's minds, suppress the user's reason, and turn the user into a powerful killing machine and a bloodthirsty beast."
Laura looked worriedly at me, who was slumped on the chair. I was so tired that I could only barely open my eyes.
She asked anxiously: "Mr. Sok, why has this sword of our Hurley family been passed down for so long, but there has never been a situation like Henmo's?"
Sok Olvia said worriedly: "I'm afraid, Mr. Henmo is the person chosen by this sword, the only person who has the ability to be recognized by this sword and use the full power of this sword. Of course, this sword
The whole power of the sword is the evil within it."
Then, Sok Olvia looked at me and said seriously: "I'm afraid that Mr. Henmo will never be able to use this sword in the future. Otherwise, sooner or later, he will be corroded by this sword and eventually become a person without emotions and consciousness.
, and the sane walking dead, Killing Machine.”
After hearing this, I reluctantly sat up and said: "No, I can't use magic power without this sword. Didn't the medicine you just gave me be able to resolve the mania in my heart? Can you give me more of this medicine?"
"
Sok Olvia flatly refused: "The effect of the medicine just now will become weaker and weaker as the number of times you take it increases, and eventually it will lose its effect. So the best way is for you to give up the power of using this sword. As for you
I can't use magic power, trust me, I will try my best to find a way."
I was unable to think about this anymore, and after listening to Sok Olvia's words, I felt a sense of despair in my heart. But while we were talking, Laura kept staring at the door. She got up and walked towards the door, and there was a sudden "bang" outside the door.
After she went out to check, she came back and said, "It's okay. I made a fuss. A door latch fell to the ground."
We continued talking in the study, but we forgot that walls have ears.
