Mage and knight are the official match

The Putin family has been knights for generations, and they are veritable nobles. The grandeur of the mansion is beyond the comparison of ordinary knight camps.

Xi Lan, who is used to being wild outside, was also affected by the surrounding atmosphere when he came in, and began to be cautious in his words and deeds, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

The domestic servants were all very excited because Master Claus returned home after a few years, especially those maids, all of whom had golden eyes.

"The young master is finally back, and he has become more handsome in the past few years. I really think that I will be pregnant even if I look at it more often."

"Hush, shush, stop talking nonsense. I heard that Master Claus brought someone back this time. Master Claus is about the same age, and I think it is likely that he brought his sweetheart."

"Then I have to go and see who is so honored to be favored by Master Klaus. After all, Master Klaus doesn't like to be close to people so much. It must not be easy to get someone he likes."

This not-so-simple person was hiding in the bathroom because of nervousness and refused to come out.

"My father doesn't eat people."

"Not eating people doesn't mean not killing people. Have you forgotten how you reacted when you saw me?"

"...this moment is not that moment." After speaking, he forcibly dragged the person out without any explanation.

"No, I don't want to. I strongly condemn your act of robbing civilian girls and arranging marriages!"

So when Avery came in, what he saw was his son holding hands with another man with a staff on his back, entangled with each other.

Avery untied the sword attached to his back without saying a word.

"What are you going to do?" Xi Lan immediately grabbed her staff and entered the battle state.

Avery silently handed the sword to the attendant on the side, and Klaus also took it off as a matter of course.

"When negotiating with people, you should first disarm the etiquette, don't mages understand?"

The elder, who was three points similar to Klaus, but with a bit more majesty, spoke slowly while speaking.

Xi Lan coughed in embarrassment: "Only a tool used for attack can be called a weapon. Look at my staff. When it is placed like this, it is just an ordinary wooden stick. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a weapon. as a weapon."

Avery said without raising his eyelids: "Sticks can also be used as attacks."

Xi Lan was not to be outdone: "According to this principle, everything in the world can be called a weapon. As long as you think about it, it is not impossible to lift the chair under your noble buttocks to hit people, shouldn't you also withdraw it? And I just want to think, even if I don't have a staff, I can cast magic, so my hands are also considered weapons, so I should chop them off before entering the house?"

Avery suddenly began to look at Sealand without saying a word, his eyes were serious, and the time was so long that Sealand couldn't help worrying whether he really planned to have his hands chopped off.

Klaus quietly hid the person behind him, and Avery's gaze shifted from Sealand to his son, who was eating inside and out, and then looked away again.

"If you came back just to stand there and demonstrate to me, then you can go, don't waste each other's time."

Klaus has been subtle since meeting Avery.Seeing that he didn't respond, Xi Lan simply sat down by herself.In the end, he didn't pat the chair beside him to express his disappointment to Klaus.

"The person you want me to meet is him?"

Klaus nodded almost invisibly.

Everey snorted coldly and said: "There are so many people in the world, you insist on picking an unknown mage, are you blocking your own future to vent my anger? Childish."

Klaus's expression was obviously more ugly: "Not everyone is like your father, who can be ruthless to sacrifice his family for his own reputation."

"Do you think that you two will have a happy ending together?" Avery's eyes seemed to see through everything.

"My people should be protected by me."

Xi Lan was almost out of breath in the tense atmosphere between the father and son.More importantly, they are all talking about where and where.

"Uh, I remember coming here for a proposal?" Zeeland looked at Klaus.

Sensing his gaze, Klaus' expression softened.

"That's right, I'm here to report something to Lord Paladin. I'll leave after I finish speaking, and I won't leave any more trouble for each other."

Avery said coldly: "If this is the case, please take the formal route and follow the prescribed process."

"It's an emergency, and we must report it before the Paladin convenes."

It must not be an easy thing for a son who has always hated him to come back all the way and tell him.

Avery put away his personal emotions and said, "But it's okay to say."

Klaus tried his best to describe the events of the Knights Camp and the conflicts in the church in District [-] as concisely as possible.

After listening to Klaus's words, Avery fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked at Sealand and asked, "Are you the mage kidnapped by Bishop Effie?"

Zealand was noncommittal.

"useless."

……

I don't know if I can get out alive if I attack with the staff now.

Klaus changed the subject and said, "In my capacity, I am not qualified to make a proposal at the meeting. I would like to ask Lord Avery Paladin to convey it on my behalf."

Avery nodded and said, "Leave this matter to me."

After the matter was over, Klaus didn't want to stay for a second, so he pulled up Zealand and was ready to leave.

Avery has no intention of keeping him.At the moment when the two went out, Avery said softly: "It's not easy to be with the knight, I hope you have enough consciousness to be with my son."

...Who can believe him, he really just came to do business, and he didn't covet his old man's son!

After coming out of Putin Mansion, Klaus has been silent.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Xi Lan said, "Speaking of which, your house is really grand and luxurious. I don't know how other paladins' houses feel. We mages live in a much simpler place."

"Do you like this?"

"Huh? Me? There's nothing wrong with it. Living in it makes me feel like I'm an aristocrat."

Klaus nodded: "Then get one with the same style."

"As expected of a knight, such a magnificent house is just fine. But if this is the case, why do you still live in the knight camp?"

"Only knights of the sword, knights of the round shield and paladins have the right to build their own mansions."

Klaus explained patiently, but was obviously absent-minded.Xi Lan couldn't bear this kind of ambiguity the most, so she simply asked clearly: "You and your father don't seem to have a good relationship. What happened?"

As if hesitating whether to say it or not, Klaus closed his eyes and said slowly after a while: "There is a place, I hope you can accompany me."

Klaus took Zealand to no other place than his mother's tomb.

Even Xilan became taciturn when she came to this kind of place.

Tomb-sweeping is the first time for Xi Lan, an orphan.Sealand had no choice but to follow behind Klaus, step by step.

After sprinkling holy water on the tomb and offering a bouquet of white calla lilies, Klaus clasped his hands and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was talking to his dead mother.

After presenting flowers, Xi Lan stood one step diagonally behind Klaus, waiting quietly.

"Mother, I was not happy when I left."

"Didn't you ask me why I have a bad relationship with my father? Because the one who killed my mother was none other than him."

"My mother was originally a promising wood magician who once drove a dark falcon spirit beast. It is said that this spirit beast has an extremely strong personality and is difficult to tame, but it is loyal to mother."

He inherited the blood of such an excellent wood mage, so he and Xiao Wang get along so well.

"My mother was a restless person when she was young, and she had a lot of interests. The decoration of my house that you like is also designed by my mother. My mother likes to play the violin in her spare time, so she goes to concerts from time to time. Met my mother at a concert."

"At that time, my father was still the same as I am now, only a third-rank knight. In order to get ahead, he had to accompany his superiors to various occasions from time to time. Concerts were the hobby of the Buckler Knight who was in charge of my father at the time, and my father knew nothing about rhythm. As the music played, his father quickly fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was the end of the performance. Just when he sighed secretly that the time passed too slowly, he saw him sitting beside him Mother, two lines of clear tears flowed slowly from her eyes."

"The father, who had no chance to meet women since he was a child, panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly found his handkerchief and handed it over. Later, the mother insisted on washing the handkerchief and returning it to the father, and the two became acquainted like that. Very soon. Soon, the two people who fell in love got married and gave birth to me."

"At the beginning, my father didn't know the identity of my mother. Once when my father was on a mission, he accidentally entered the crack seal area. Maybe he felt that a person without magic power appeared, and the monsters began to pick on the soft persimmons. , and surrounded him in one breath."

The warning current around the sealed area was only set up not long ago, and it was not surprising that someone would break in by mistake at that time.

"Seeing this scene, the mother subconsciously drove the Dark Falcon forward to help the father out. The father was naturally surprised, but he only told the mother to hide his identity from outsiders, and there was no further reaction."

"Just when my mother thought this matter was over, one day, two paladins suddenly broke into the house, pointed at father, and asked father to hand him over."

"At that time, the mage was in the limelight because he quelled the battle between humans and demons, but the Knights saw that the Magic Association had lost the holy mage, and the follow-up development was weak, and they kept cultivating their own strength. In other words, that is The period when the relationship between the mage and the knight was the worst. The father was threatened, and if the mother was not handed over, the father would never have a bright future."

"In the end, you also saw it. My father succeeded in becoming the paladin he dreamed of. But my mother had to lie alone in this cold tomb."

Klaus was only twelve or thirteen years old when it happened.Nothing could be crueler to a child than that.

Zealand wanted to go up to comfort Klaus, but found that she didn't know how to speak.I have never owned myself, and I can't feel the pain of this loss.

Zealand stepped forward and gently hugged Klaus from behind.
