Holy Institution

Bot City.

It is still the old streets, the slow and heavy carriage wheels, and the lingering laziness in the air.Compared with the new cities established in the east and west, the capital of Shamanliel is like an old man entering his twilight years. While leisurely, it is difficult to conceal the atmosphere of decay and exhaustion.

The carriage of the Bassett family is already waiting outside the magic circle.

The temporary coachman is the butler Bob.Before retiring, he had made many great achievements on the battlefield.Dilling remembered that his father once said that if he hadn't been blind in one eye, he might have become a general by now.That's a one in a million chance.But he is also very competent as a housekeeper.He just asked the Magic Guild to bring a message, and he arranged everything properly.

When Bob saw Dilling and Hydein come out, a gentle smile appeared on Fang Zheng's face.

"Master. Welcome home." He jumped out of the carriage himself and opened the door.

Dilling stepped forward to give him a gentle hug, and said happily, "Uncle Bob."

Bob patted him on the shoulder, and turned his attention to Hydein, "This must be the Tajilis mentor that Master Dilling mentioned in his letter." Although he has been a housekeeper for nearly ten years, he still hasn't been infected. The flattery and flattery that the nobles are used to, the speech is still concise and straightforward.

Heiden nodded, "Hello."

Di Lin was slightly surprised, it was rare to see him with such a pleasant face.

Of course Bob didn't think too much about it. After inviting them into the car, he immediately drove the carriage back to Baseko's residence.

As the first duke of the empire, Baseko's residence was second only to the imperial palace in size, occupying an entire half of the street.

The carriage crossed the wide lawn and crossed a wooden bridge before stopping.

Hyde got off the carriage and looked up at the magnificent building no less than the St. Padres Library.

Dilling asked Bob, who handed over the carriage to the other servants, "Where's father?"

Bob said: "The Duke is discussing government affairs with His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, and he may not be back until evening."

Di Lin agreed, his eyes hard to hide his disappointment.

Hyde raised an eyebrow.No matter how precocious he is, he is just a teenager who needs care and attention. When he returns home, he always hopes to see his relatives welcome him.

Bob said: "Master, please come in. Your room is cleaned every day, and nothing in it has been touched. The guest room of Tajilis tutor is downstairs from your room."

Dilling said: "Is there any clue about that matter?"

Knowing that he was referring to looking for Vincent, Hyde immediately looked sideways at Bob.

Bob said: "There are a total of 360 Vincent Lin in Shamanlier. Excluding 110, three dead, and 230, six who did not match the age, there are still eleven left. The Duke has asked officials from various places to take care of them. There will be news."

Heide said: "He is very good at disguising."

Bob said confidently: "Please rest assured, Mr. Tajilis, the enemy on the battlefield is also very good at camouflage, but they will always be exposed naked to the bayonet in the end."

Dilling remembered one thing, "Has Princess Joni returned to the palace?"

"I've already returned to the palace. According to the Duke, she may marry into the Carter family." Bob said.

"Carter?" Dilling sighed.I don't know if it's for the princess, or for Justin who can never show his heart in the sun.

Talking while walking, Dilling quickly walked to the door of Heidein's guest room.

Bob opened the door himself.Dilling noticed that although the layout of the room was very similar to his own room, the layout was completely different.My own room is full of youthful sunshine, but this guest room is simple and heavy.

"All the furniture here is chosen by the Duke himself," Bob said.

Di Lin asked unexpectedly: "Father?" He didn't know that his father still had such time.

Bob looked at Heidein, and said with deep meaning: "The Duke said, this is his heart for his son's mentor, thank you for your careful teaching."

Hyde was noncommittal, "Thank you for his kindness."

After sending Hyde to his room, Bob went to his room with Dilling.

Bob's attitude softened, and he said gently: "Is everything okay in the academy?"

Di Lin's eyes froze, and a water polo appeared in front of the two of them, "Very good."

Bob was surprised: "You can use magic without spells and gestures?"

Di Lin said helplessly: "The instructor forbids me to learn any gestures and magic."

Although Bob doesn't know magic, he is a man of knowledge, and he said with emotion: "You have a very great mentor." entertain him.

Dilling said, "I hope we can find Vincent soon." He knew that this was what Heidein was most concerned about right now.

"Don't worry, as long as there is such a person in Shamanlier, they will be found." Bob firmly said.

Andrei Baseko arrived in the middle of the night.

Di Lin was sleeping soundly in the study.

Andre opened the door for a moment, then turned to look at Bob.

Bob said: "The young master insists on waiting for you to come back."

Andre nodded, "Go get some supper."

Bob led the way.

Andre entered the door, took off his coat and covered him.

Di Lin moved his body, opened his eyes, and after seeing the person in front of him clearly, he stood up straight, his body stretched straight. "Father!"

"I woke you up." Andre regretted slightly.

Di Lin blamed himself, "It's because I wasn't on guard enough."

Andre smiled and said, "I used to ask you as a warrior, but now that you are a magician, you can lower the requirements appropriately."

Di Lin looked down and said in silence for a while, "Being a magician means you can't be a warrior anymore?"

Andre was taken aback by his question, "Why do you ask that?"

Di Lin thought for a while, and replied honestly: "The instructor is not happy that I use swordsmanship."

"Oh?"

"He's also not happy that I'm commanding the army."

"Command the army?" Andre looked puzzled.He didn't know when St. Padres had an army, and even if St. Padres had an army, it shouldn't be commanded by his son.

Dilling briefly talked about the match between St. Padres and St. Sauvignon.

Andre suddenly said: "I think he wants you to put all your energy into magic. It's like swimming and rowing can be used to cross a river, but if you want to learn to swim well, you must first Abandon the way of rowing, otherwise it will be difficult to concentrate."

Dilling frowned.

Andre's face was hot, "I didn't give an example well. Cough, but you know, that's probably what it means."

"Similarly, there are two ways to defeat the enemy, swordsmanship and magic. But the instructor wants me to use magic because he wants to use magic to become my first choice and inertia of thinking?" Dilling said.

Andre nodded and said, "That's what it means."

Dilling said: "But I still feel that what I did was not wrong."

"I think your mentor is well aware of this."

Dilling was dubious, "Really?"

"So he didn't accuse you." Andre paused, "Although from your tone, I can hear that he is not very happy."

"Why do I think you know Father very well?" Dilling was surprised.He has been in contact with Hyde for so long, and he is often puzzled by his behavior, but Andre can always understand his intentions properly.

Andre smiled narrowly: "Maybe this is the difference between men and boys."

Bob brought up two bowls of chicken salad.

Andre and Dilling sat on the sofa and chatted while eating.

Dilling vividly and coherently talked about his experiences in St. Padres.When it came to Ciro and Princess Joni, Andre asked a few more questions.Dilling explained one by one.But he didn't have much contact with them in the academy, so he couldn't offer much.

Seeing Andre sigh, he couldn't help being curious.

Andre said: "It is a foregone conclusion that Shiro succeeds the crown prince. I heard that his wrist and courage are much higher than the original crown prince, and he has a good relationship with Hayden Nafist. He will definitely adopt an iron fist style in the future." rule the country."

"Hayden Nafist?"

"The Marshal of the new generation of the Banding Empire." Andre said, "This year is just 20 years old."

The 20-year-old marshal?

Dilling's blood surged up.

Andre glanced at him, "Since you have decided to stay in St. Padres, don't bother with these things."

Dilling retreated passionately.

Yes.Since he chose St. Padres and laid down the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, he has lost his original position.

"Don't worry about me." Andre saw the struggle in his eyes, "I have decided to adopt your Uncle Kelly's son as the heir."

Dilling lowered his head, "Father, I..."

"The family is not only a responsibility, but also an honor." Andre said lightly, "You can't understand this, so even if I didn't ask me to go to St. Padres, I would not choose you as the heir of the family."

Dilling knew that he just didn't want to feel too sad when he said that.In fact, he did feel much better.

Andre seemed tired, squinted his eyes and said: "I will find an opportunity to meet your mentor tomorrow. I will prepare as much as possible for what he likes."

Dilling thought for a while and said, "He likes coffee."
