Because of the shock of his mind, Locke's illusion on himself failed.

In the eyes of Cole and the two viscounts, it was as if Locke suddenly appeared.

"Who?"

Suddenly seeing a stranger appear in the conference room, Cross and Marek stood directly in front of Cole, full of fighting spirit, ready to attack at any time.

"You..."

However, when the three saw Locke, they hesitated.

Finally, Cross and Marek looked at each other and immediately knelt on one knee.

"Cross, Marek, meet the Grand Duke."

"Brother."

"Yes."

The three people's address woke Locke up.

"Cole, how long did I spend in seclusion this time?"

Looking at his brother's face that had not changed from decades ago, Cole smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Although he had long known that the strong in the Holy Land enjoyed endless life, Cole only now deeply understood it.

"Brother, you have been in seclusion for thirty-seven years this time."

"Thirty-seven years..."

Locke pursed his lips.

He remembered that he achieved the Holy Land at the age of thirty-five, was discovered by His Majesty Ceres at the age of fifty-two, defeated the legion of the Temple of Light at the age of fifty-five, and asked his younger brother to bring his parents to Locke City to live at the age of fifty-six.

Now, another thirty-seven years have passed, and he is already ninety-three years old.

When he was born, his father was nineteen years old and his mother was seventeen years old.

"Huh..."

In just a moment, Locke calculated the ages of his father and mother in his mind.

"Hey, Cole..."

"Father and mother..."

Although Locke had a premonition in his heart, he still held on to the hope of a chance and asked Cole expectantly.

Hearing Locke's question, Cole was silent.

After a long time, Cole said to Locke: "Brother, my mother has been gone for thirteen years, and my father also passed away five years ago..."

Cole's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Locke's head heavily.

He never thought that he was just in seclusion, but he was separated from his parents.

"Swoosh!"

With one step forward, Locke came to Cole, grabbed Cole's collar, and yelled at Cole: "Cole, why didn't you call me?"

"Lord Locke, calm down!"

Seeing Locke treat Cole like this, Cross and Marek immediately got up from the ground, and each grabbed one of Locke's hands to prevent Locke from hurting Cole.

Of course, with their strength, if Locke wanted to hurt Cole, they couldn't stop him at all.

After thirty-seven years of seclusion, Locke's warrior cultivation had already broken through to the Holy Domain without knowing it.

In front of the strong men in the Holy Domain, the ninth-level warrior can only be regarded as a larger grasshopper.

"Lord Locke, it was the master and the old lady who didn't let Lord Cole delay your cultivation because of their affairs, so Lord Cole didn't call you."

Hearing what Cross and Marek said, Locke was stunned, and the hand holding Cole's collar loosened, allowing Cross and Marek to pull Cole away.

"I'm sorry, Cole, I was too impulsive."

After taking a deep breath, Locke apologized to Cole.

"No, I didn't call you brother when my parents passed away. It's my fault."

Locke shook his head and didn't dwell on this issue anymore.

After all, no matter how much he regretted it now, his parents would never come back.

"Where are my parents buried? I'll go see them."

"In Pu'er Village, next to the wooden house you built before."

"Yeah."

After nodding to Cole, Locke walked out of the conference room and flew towards Pu'er Village.

...

In the conference room of the Lord's Mansion in Locke City, Cole and the other two looked a little pale, with big drops of cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

"Lord Locke, did you fly far away?"

After a while, Cross asked hoarsely.

"Well, according to the flying speed of the Saint Domain warriors, Lord Locke has already flown out of Locke City."

"Huh..."

As Marek finished speaking, Cole suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, held onto the long table in the middle of the conference room, and sat down on a chair beside him.

"Viscount Cross, Viscount Marek, tell me, has your elder brother discovered our affairs?"

"Lord Cole, don't worry."

"You are Lord Locke's younger brother. I think even if Lord Locke discovers, he won't do anything to you."

Marek comforted him.

"Hehe..."

Hearing Marek's words, Cole smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The elder brother Locke was detected to have an affinity for water magic at the age of six, and had a mental strength sixteen times that of his peers. He left Pu'er Village and entered the Magic Academy to study.

When they met again, the two brothers were already in their twenties.

To be honest, there didn't seem to be much affection between him and his elder brother.

When my parents were still alive, my elder brother had nothing to say to his "brother" for the sake of my parents.

But my parents are gone...

Look at what happened just now. In the past, how could my elder brother pull my collar?

It's better to rely on others than to achieve the Holy Land by myself!

This is also the reason why Cole will cooperate with Cross and others.

Of course, on this point, Cole will not really say that the relationship between him and his elder brother is not as deep as before.

After all, Cross and others want to cooperate with me, isn't it just to wait until the matter is exposed, so that my elder brother can bypass everyone for my sake?

If they knew that I can't get any security from my elder brother now, they will definitely get rid of me in an instant.

"Okay, Cross, Marek, the Temple of Light has sent all the things now."

"Go down and make arrangements, and let someone secretly search in Locke Territory."

"However, I hope you two can figure it out. If I really find it, I want to use it first!"

At this point, Cole's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he looked at Cross and Marek.

"If you dare to deceive me, I will tell my elder brother everything you have done, and let him kill all five of you."

"Of course, if you are confident that you can escape from my elder brother's hands after becoming a sanctuary, just pretend I never said that."

Cross and Marek were shocked by Cole's words and hurried to comfort Cole.

"Lord Cole, please rest assured about this."

"The five of us do want to take one step further, but that is also under the condition of ensuring our safety."

"As you said, even if we become a sanctuary, we are no match for Lord Locke."

"Only you can save us from Lord Locke, we know this very well."

"We can swear to you that if we really find someone, you will be the first to use him."
