How do I break the team invitation from my old enemy?

It wasn't until the three of them settled down that Lin Wei and Duan Yu walked out of the small building one after the other and stepped on the dark gray path.

"In the evening, I received a response from my father." Lin Wei said suddenly.

"About Gregory?"

"That's right," Lin Wei let out a sigh of relief, "I have to wait."

He recalled the scene sent back by the flying magic beast that went to deliver the letter in the evening.

His Excellency the Duke unfolded the letterhead in the study room, glanced over the letter with a solemn expression, and then read it carefully.

"Lin Wei, my son," the Duke said to himself, "you are still too soft-hearted! Even if my actions are discovered by His Majesty the Emperor - he may not be able to do anything to Didis!"

After the Duke finished speaking, he frowned again, and continued after a long time: "However, it is not impossible to be more cautious, our family is already too powerful..."

The Duke reluctantly agreed with his approach, but he also informed Lin Wei of another matter of great importance.

The old emperor, who is old and in declining health, is sick!

I don't know if it's because the continuous rain has caused old illnesses, or the disappearance of the eldest son has made the old man feel heavy... In short, the old emperor is very sick now, and many affairs of the empire have to be handed over to his second son Bo Lan reason.

After the queen got married, she didn't give birth to a child for many years, until both of them entered middle age, suddenly gave birth to two princes in three years, and later gave birth to a princess, the emperor's joy can be imagined .

The old emperor was a barely qualified master of the empire. He didn't do much. He even built palaces and collected treasures because of his love of extravagance, which consumed a lot of financial resources in the treasury and caused a headache for the minister of finance. However, under his rule, the empire has always been Slowly but steadily continued to prosper, he is a wise old man, but not a hard-hearted emperor - at least, he loves his two children very much.

The old emperor died of illness in his previous life, but this time it was three years earlier, and the two illnesses were very similar.

At that time, the old emperor was extremely disappointed with his two sons who were tearing up his face and fighting for the throne without regard for family affection, which aggravated his illness. Now it is very likely that he is worried about the possible death of his eldest son.

But in any case, this matter is extremely beneficial to the Thetis family. On the one hand, Bolan has taken over the power, and most of the forces in the imperial capital are biased towards him. On the other hand, the sick old emperor has lost his past. His shrewdness gave the family the opportunity to take some measures so that the old emperor could not pursue the real reason for the news of "pirates rampant" in the Siren Sea.

If the old emperor survived this test, Gregory would still be able to be sent to the imperial capital alive. Unfortunately, Bolan must have stabilized his position by then. His life was left on Siren Island.

"If Gregory's younger brother becomes the emperor, perhaps the imperial capital will not be so hostile to the magical world. I might not be able to restore the status of the heir to the family." Lin Wei said with a smile.

He still has nothing to say - when the time comes, on the mainland, the emperor of ordinary people will be pushed to the throne by the Didis family, and the future leader of the magical world is now tied to him, and will continue to be tied ...He can walk sideways across the entire continent!

This made Lin Wei very happy. He now felt that entering the Academy of Magic was an extremely correct choice, and it was a great good thing to meet the oracle.

"You still want to inherit the family?" Duan Yu frowned slightly, seemingly displeased.

"Even if I don't inherit, I have to have a status in the family that I can talk about." Lin Wei said.

It is an unspoken fact among many people that his younger brother is mediocre in talent and not suitable to inherit the family. Even if the foundation of the family is solid, Edie will not have the absolute loyalty of several major legions of the empire like the Duke—this is the truth Diss' greatest reliance cannot be broken in this generation.

Lin Wei has no intention of spending his life in the imperial capital, but he also needs to have control over the family.

There was a "Contract" between the Empire and the Magic Association back then, the third item of which was: People with magical talent will automatically leave their citizenship of the Empire and enter the Academy of Magic to study, and they must not refuse for any reason.

If one day the Duke is gone, those family elders will not be obedient, they will say confidently - how can someone who does not even have the citizenship of the empire have the right to dictate the family's affairs?

Although it was clearly written in the contract, since Berlan had no dislike for the magical world, and the leader of the future magic was on his side... It was a breeze to modify the "Contract".

"It's not a specific position, and I don't need to stay in the empire all the time," Lin Wei explained: "I just need to bear the title of duke and meet the elders—most of the family's affairs are taken care of by them. There are regular inspections of the army. The leaders of those legions support my father, and my father took me to see them. Government, it will make him feel at ease... I will still spend most of my time in the wizarding world."

The magician reluctantly accepted the rhetoric, but at the same time, he also remembered Lin Wei's previous attitude towards the imperial capital: "You once said you hated the imperial capital."

"That's right, but..." Lin Wei laughed, bent his eyes, and looked at him with deep meaning: "If you go back to the Duke's Mansion with me——I won't feel disgusted!"

Duanyu looked at him with slightly confused eyes - Lin Wei couldn't help but want to pounce on him.

He suppressed this thought, turned his head away with a smile, said nothing more, and the two continued to walk forward together.

Lin Wei knew that these words sounded a bit inexplicable from the point of view of categorization—this guy is blank in terms of emotions, and he cannot be expected to understand now.

However, the time is still very long - when the little duke thought of this, his heart was filled with a strange sense of anticipation.

The road was not long, and soon they arrived at their room.

"We felt that the turbulence of the elements was not so strong, and we could go deeper, so we continued to walk in... But the weather was obviously normal, and the blizzard suddenly started, and we lost our way."

Winston was still in the hall, and Daniel was sitting next to him. The green-robed alchemist no longer had the usual laughing expression, and his eyes were unusually calm: "And then?"

Winston leaned heavily on the back of the chair: "We don't know where we are. The snowstorm is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more monsters around. They are running like crazy, and we have no time to kill them. Just kept defending, but also kept our lives...then, we encountered monsters."

He took a long breath and closed his eyes hard, as if he didn't dare to recall the scene at that time: "I felt that breath, which was stronger than all the top monsters - many times stronger, and the people around Siren Island All the sea beasts combined don't make us feel that way."

"I didn't see what it looked like, but I saw a very huge shadow through the snowstorm, blue, blue like the coldest ice-I couldn't even confirm whether it was a creature." Wen Wen Ston paused for a moment, then continued: "It approached us, the shadow covered everyone, my blood seemed to freeze, and then there was a turbulent flow of elements that suddenly became stronger, no matter how strong a magic barrier could be block."

"Only I escaped," he smiled wryly, "Because I am a water mage who barely learned magic, and it is much easier to survive in the valley of ice than them. But... there is no way to bring them together Out."

Winston's eyes were red, he covered his face with his hands, and said in a painful tone, "I was selfish after all. I left them behind. At that time, I didn't have any other thoughts in my head except escape... The Goddess of Light would not Forgive me, I should have died in the valley with them."

Daniel patted him on the shoulder: "You're right...you at least left me a sibling."

The words, which were originally light and joking, suddenly touched the gate of sadness. Winston let out a moan from his throat, and hugged Daniel tightly.

"I haven't seen any records similar to this thing," Daniel shook his head and muttered, "Even forbidden spells won't cause elemental turbulence."

"It's true, I remember it clearly," Winston's tone calmed down a little, and at the same time added a hint of gnashing of teeth: "We don't know much about the Valley of Elements, and the elements that can kill any powerful magician Turbulent current—who knows what terrible things will be born in such a strange environment!"

Daniel lowered his eyes and remained silent about this sentence.
