"The family has agreed to let me use the opportunity to strike. As long as I capture the girl from the Bretton family, you will be completely free from now on," Mograine promised.
"The Bretton family? Could it be the descendant of that brat Karov? " The old man scratched his head with a long face. "Well, I quite like Karov. Wouldn't it be a little disloyal to bully his daughter when he's not around?"
"Shut up. I told you not to speak in front of others if there's nothing important." The dignified old man closed his eyes after reprimanding. He seemed to be thinking about something and only opened them again after a while. Lilith knew that the old man already had an answer, and her expression was solemn. On the other hand, Mograine seemed very relaxed, as if he already knew the result.
"Sure," the dignified old man said. "Add another bottle of Gray Marrow, and we can escort you all the way to the dock."
"Deal." Mograine agreed happily without hesitation. Gray Marrow was the sap of a type of tree that only grew on a certain island under the Ferdinand family's jurisdiction. The output was very low, and it was useless to most people.
Many people thought that the Northern Twins chose to retire because they lost to Roselle, because they happened to disappear after that battle. But in fact, the real reason for their disappearance was because the elder brother's brain disease suddenly worsened, and his intelligence began to deteriorate further. So after that, the two suddenly disappeared, and the younger brother began to take the elder brother everywhere to find medicine.
During this period, the Church had found the two of them and invited them to work for the Church with the condition that His Highness the Pope would help them. However, they rejected the offer in the end. As the brilliant geniuses of that era, they also had their pride as mages, and were unwilling to attach themselves to a certain force and become a tool. However, in order to control their elder brother's disease, the two of them had no choice but to make concessions. They found Gray Marrow that could greatly reduce the disease rate, and they began to negotiate with the Ferdinand family who controlled the Gray Marrow.
In the end, the Ferdinand family used twenty bottles of Gray Marrow in exchange for the right to attack three times. These three times had been used twice in the past decade, and tonight was the last time. As long as they completed Mograine's request, they could fulfill their agreement with the Ferdinand family and become completely free men.
The paladin knew that the dignified old man would not reject it, or rather, he did not have the right to reject it. Thinking about it, the batch of Gray Marrow he exchanged from the family was almost used up. If he did not want his elder brother to become an idiot, he could only continue trading with the family. Now was the time for him to show his value.
The situation took a turn for the worse in an instant. Lilith did not expect Mograine to have such a terrifying trump card hidden behind him. The female magician did not dare to underestimate the two old men who had become famous more than 30 years ago. At this stage, she was no match for them. Even so, Lilith did not retreat. She held her wand and said in a deep voice, "Seniors, please enlighten me."
The dignified old man nodded slightly. "Solid foundation and firm will. It seems that there are still a few decent fellows among the young. However, you're not my match. There's no point in continuing to fight like this."
Lolo, who had been silent at the side, raised her head and said, "I'll go with you. This is our business. It has nothing to do with President Lilith."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard a familiar voice behind her. "No one can take you away except me."
Rob walked over from the other end of the street. He looked a little disheveled as if he had just gone through a few intense battles. His clothes were full of holes. However, as soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted to him.
The old man, who had a long face, was quiet for only a moment before he could not help but ask curiously, "Kid, who are you? How arrogant. "
On the other side, the dignified old man's pupils suddenly shrank. Mograine let out a long sigh. Among the crowd, only Lilith appeared to be the calmest. She bowed and said, "Your Holiness."
Rob nodded at the female mage in return. After that, he did not care about the others and walked directly to the girl. He looked into her eyes and said gently, "I'm sorry to hide it from you for so long. My identity is a little special. After tonight's matter is over, I'll tell you everything."
"You're a mage?" Lolo saw the No. 2 in someone's hand, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. Tonight, Rob did not use a secret treasure to disguise its appearance. The girl could see the fist-sized blue magic crystal at the top of the staff. Apart from that, she could also feel the faint magical waves from the young man.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor hummed in response.
"Are you very powerful?" Lolo was a little curious. In the two years they had been together, she had never seen someone release any magic.
"No, I think I'm a little more powerful than 'very powerful'." The young man blinked.
"…" Lolo was speechless. She felt that this guy was hopeless. However, the girl was still worried about his safety. Lolo did not know where the Northern Twins came from, but from Lilith's reaction, they were obviously experts. In addition, there was also Mograine, who was eyeing them covetously. The girl could not think of how Rob would deal with the situation in front of him.
After the future Supreme Magus Your Honor finished talking to Lolo, he turned to look at the dignified old man. The latter was also coincidentally looking at him. His expression was a little complicated, but he still bowed and said politely, "Your Holiness."
"You need Gray Marrow?" Rob asked directly. "How much do you need?"
The dignified old man hesitated for a moment. "About twenty bottles."
In fact, to ensure that his brother's condition would not worsen, he had to take a bottle of Gray Marrow every six months. Twenty bottles would only be enough for them to survive for another ten years.
Mograine shook his head. "It's useless. There is only one source of Gray Marrow. If you want it, you can't avoid my family no matter what."
"Is that so?" The future Supreme Magus Your Honor did not comment. He took out a pen and a piece of paper, quickly wrote a series of formulas on it, and then passed it to the dignified old man.
The latter was puzzled when he received the note, but when he lowered his head to take a look, his eyes immediately lit up. He bowed to the young man, and this time, he was willing to do so. After that, he didn't look at Mograine anymore and left with his elder brother.
The holy knight smiled bitterly. "What did you show them?"
