Arriving at the corridor on the third floor of the main building, Allen saw the butler, Helsing, pushing a cart out of the study. Roddy dragged him over, and Helsing couldn't help but say, "Mr. Roddy, slow down."
Roddy pushed Allen forward and smiled, "Steward Helsing, look who this is?"
Helsing's pupils dilated slightly, and then he said happily, "Young Master Allen, Young Master Allen is back?"
"Yes, I'm back. Steward Helsing, are you alright?" Allen said with a smile.
"Alright, I'm fine. Master is in the study. I'll go and tell him now. "
"Steward Helsing." Roddy pushed Allen, "Let him go in by himself."
"Right, right, look at me. I'm so happy." Helsing smiled and said, "Let's leave this surprise for Young Master to give to Master himself."
Allen nodded and walked to the study. For some reason, Allen had never been as nervous as he was at this moment in the face of Frius or Spenak. His heart was beating non-stop. He took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.
The study was very quiet. Time seemed to have stopped here, and Allen felt as if he had returned to his time in Babylon. At that time, the floating island was still there, and Castle Ugarte still bore witness to the glory of the family.
There was the fragrance of black tea in the air, and under the light from the window, an old man was working at his desk. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he did not raise his head and only said, "Steward Helsing, why are you back again? The black tea just now was very good. There's no need to change it again. "
Allen exhaled and tried his best to speak calmly, "Grandfather, I'm back."
Hearing this voice, the old man's entire body trembled. Then, he raised his head and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the study. Horn's figure flashed and stood in front of Allen.
The old man stretched out his hand, his palm trembling. He was afraid that this was just an illusion and did not dare to hold this familiar face. Allen smiled, reached out to hold Horn's hands, and placed them on his face. "It's me, Grandfather. It's really me. I'm back."
"Allen." Horn finally stopped doubting and hugged Allen tightly. The old man closed his eyes, his eyes moist. "You're finally back. I knew you would come back! That's great, it's great that you're back. "
After a while, Horn let go of Allen. It was rare for him to lose his composure like this. It was clear that Allen's return had a great impact on him. At this moment, he had regained his composure. He pulled Allen to sit down in front of the desk. "You must tell me how you've been for the past year."
"I will, Grandpa."
The conversation continued until the moon was high up in the sky. During this time, Helsing brought dinner to the two of them and silently retreated. Allen said a lot, including his experience on Agares, the beginning of the dusk of the universe, and the man he met this afternoon.
"That's right, Grandpa."
Horn nodded and said, "You've finally seen your father."
"Well, actually, he's always been by my side, but I didn't notice." Allen paused and asked, "Grandpa, do you still hate him?"
Horn sighed and raised his head, "What else is there to hate? If there was any resentment towards him before, then now, that resentment is gone. There's nothing I can do. No matter what, I can't continue to hate a man who loves his daughter so much. "
"I'm more worried about you now, Allen. What are you going to do? Are you really going to fight him? "
Allen lowered his head and said, "I don't know, Grandpa. Even though I'm determined in front of others, that's still my father. Especially now, I know that he loves his mother deeply. If that's the case, how can I draw my sword against him? "
"So I can only wait, wait for him to become a completely different person. Only then will I be able to make a move. "
Horn shook his head and said, "You shouldn't have been responsible for such a thing. Why is this happening?"
"It doesn't matter, Grandpa. This is the fate that has been imposed on me. Now, what I have to do is cut it off and completely end the fate of the Dusk Clan. If I succeed, there will be no more Sons of Dusk in the future, and the life and death of the universe will be in the hands of thousands of living beings, not decided by the Creator. "
Horn's eyes turned cold as he said, "We humans have been seeking other life in the universe since a long time ago to prove that we are not alone. Unexpectedly, this opened a door of calamity, and even more unexpectedly, there are other universes outside the universe. This is simply too inconceivable. The Creator, Eboynes, the Burning Legion. We humans are insignificant in front of these things, but even so, we are unwilling to hand over our fate to those things. "
"That's right. Apart from meeting everyone, I hope to stop the civil war. Humans no longer have time to waste on civil war. It won't be long before dusk arrives. We should gather all our strength to fight against the dusk of the universe. "Allen said in a deep voice.
"Then what are your plans?"
"I want to meet President Mobius. I need to know his attitude."
"Alright, I'll arrange it. I'll let you meet tomorrow."
Coming out of the study, Allen saw a burly figure leaning against the wall of the corridor. Seeing Allen come out, he said, "Your life is really tough. You can still come back after going to Agares."
"Reina."
Leaning against the corridor wall was Roddy's son, Reina. He had now become a strong young man and looked somewhat similar to Roddy. He looked at Allen and said, "If it weren't for the lack of time, I would really like to have a few moves with you."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to fight. I have to leave tonight."
"Civil war?"
"Yes." Reina stood up straight and waved his hand. "See you back, brother."
"Be careful too. Don't let anyone kill you."
Reina laughed heartily and left without looking back.
Allen watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor before walking in the opposite direction.
The next day, an airship marked with the Belmond family emblem landed at the ground base of the Federation government. A moment later, President Mobius and his secretaries walked quickly through a passageway. Mobius was still dressed in a neat military uniform, looking more like a soldier than a Federation president. He strode forward, and the secretaries behind him had to trot to keep up with the ever-energetic president.
"Is Allen of the Bescot family back?" The president asked as he walked.
The new secretary-general, Lloyd, nodded and said, "Mr. Horn brought him to the base today to meet you."
"Do you know why they want to see me?"
"Mr. Horn only mentioned the civil war in his previous call."
