The warm morning light gently penetrates the treetops, leaving mottled light and shadow on the grass.

Lawrence woke up with the crisp sound of birds singing.

After climbing up from the ground, he immediately looked around, until he saw the thin figure shrouded in the mage's robe not far away, and finally felt relieved.

Lawrence walked over and asked softly, "Good morning, father."

The staff member did not look back, but was just recording something with concentration.

Lawrence was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to disturb him too much, so he stepped back and prepared to find some prey for breakfast.

In the mornings of the forest, the air is particularly fresh and there are still a little dew on the leaves.

Lawrence found the traces left by several hares and immediately chased after them.

But before he could walk far, he saw a group of frightened birds flapping their wings out of the forest.

Someone is here!

Lawrence immediately ran back.

When he saw Mr. Lu again, he immediately shouted: "Father! Someone is here! I'm afraid it's the pursuer of the Uman family!"

Mr. Wei seemed to have not heard the shouting behind him, and he was still writing and drawing on the scroll.

Lawrence ran to Mr. Lu and spoke again to remind him, but Mr. Lu still did not move.

Lawrence was blind now. Just when he didn't know what to do, the bushes around him rustled. Soon, teams of fully armed soldiers surrounded them.

Lawrence held the sword in his hands and looked around nervously, but Mr. Lu was still writing something, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.

The soldiers around him set up their formation but did not step forward.

While Lawrence was wondering, he saw a knight coming out from behind.

He turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet, and showed an expressionless face-

It is the Earl of Uman!

Lawrence's heart skipped a beat and he was secretly screaming.

The appearance of Count Uman means that the army is nearby, which also means that they may not escape with wings.

Even if Mr. Shi is a powerful sixth-level mage, he cannot escape the encirclement of tens of thousands of troops.

In Lawrence's desperate eyes, Earl Uman walked slowly towards them alone.

Mr. Lu finally finished writing at this time, slowly put away the parchment rolls and stood up.

Just so happened that Count Uman also walked up to him.

Lawrence's hands holding the sword trembled involuntarily. He wanted to say hello, but he didn't know what to call Earl Uman.

But Earl Uman did not look at his former "son" at all, but said to Mr. Lu: "Is this how the Saint Theon family treats allies?"

Mr. Wei pointed to his left eye and said expressionlessly: "How can you not pay a price to kill a Paladin? Falling into Eagle City is your price, and I also paid my price."

Earl Uman sneered and said disdainfully: "A left eye and a city, Mr. Wang, do you think such efforts are fair?"

"It's really unfair." Mr. Sensei said lightly, "What else do you want to compensate me? You can just say it."

"Compensation?" The sarcasm on Earl Uman's face became increasingly strong. "I have killed the last stupid woman who wrote me a blank check. Don't forget that I am not the lord of the North yet, so don't try to compensate me for something you don't have!"

When Mr. Wu heard the "stupid woman", his eyes flashed slightly, as if he understood the fate of his sister Panni, but he did not express anything, but asked with a plain expression: "Then, just say what I have now, what do you want?"

Earl Uman's eyes were full of tyranny and growled: "I want you to pay your life to the 300,000 people who fell into Eagle City. Are you willing?"

Mr. Lu shook his head indifferently: "If you kill me now, it will not help the situation of the Uman family, but will cut off your last glimmer of hope."

Earl Uman did not refute this time, and obviously he also agreed with the viewpoint of the constituent.

He needs to live first.

But the anger in the eyes of Count Uman became increasingly strong and almost burst out.

Lawrence crouched like a quail among the two big men, trying to reduce his presence, but obviously, his efforts were in vain because he heard about his name-

"Okay, let your son Lawrence pay for your life for Falling Eagle City!"

"good."

Hearing the request of Count Uman, the staff agreed without any hesitation.

It seemed that what the other party wanted to kill was not his own son, but a pet dog he adopted casually.

"What?" Lawrence stood there on the spot, as if he could not believe that his fate was easily decided.

He couldn't help but tremble all over, and shouted with a hoarse throat: "Father, Father!"

Unfortunately, his biological father, Mr. Secret, ignored him at all.

And his nominal father, Earl Uman, had already taken a step forward and grabbed his hair with one hand.

"Father!" Lawrence looked at Earl Uman with a pleading gaze.

At this time, he no longer cared about who the two people in front of him should call him father. Anyway, as long as anyone can save his life, he will call him father.

Even both of them can be called...

Swish-

A silver light flashed, and Lawrence's head was cut off.

The blood that gushed out instantly splattered all over Mr. Si.

Earl Uman deliberately raised Lawrence's head to Mr. Lun and said coldly: "This is just interest."

The staff looked at Lawrence's head with expressionless expression, without any movement.

Earl Uman seemed to finally get angry and carried his blood-dropped head and left.

After all the soldiers around him dispersed, Mr. Wu took out the parchment scroll on his body again and continued to write and draw.

Lawrence's headless body fell at his feet, and the flow of blood quickly dyed a large area of ​​grass red.

The surrounding air suddenly condensed into frost, and the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees without warning, as if the cold winter had once again covered the earth.

"Don't you collect a corpse for your son?" The white-robed wizard Kuhus suddenly appeared beside the teacher and joked.

The staff raised his head and did not answer the question just now. Instead, he frowned at his friend's white hair and the cold air that could not control his body. "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Curhus sighed, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes: "I met Ernest, ahem, why do you think this old guy is going to go against us? Can't he see that what we have studied can really make the Mage Council rise?"

Mr. Leung sneered: "He is just worried that his position will be challenged."

"Haha, the short-sighted old guy!" Kuhuis cursed, then asked in confusion, "But how did this old guy know our plan? It happened to appear in Descent Eagle City at this time?"

"It should have been the one who informed Ernest of the Great."

"Reinhart the Great? Why..." Kuhusse stopped halfway.

Because, he had guessed the reason why Emperor Reinhart the Great did this.

Obviously, Emperor Reinhardt was afraid of Mr. Lu, worried that he would use this forbidden spell to threaten himself. Since he had verified the feasibility of the forbidden spell and obtained the casting scroll of the forbidden spell, it would be better for Mr. Lu, naturally, to die.

"In this case, the assassination against us may have just begun." Kuhusseus's face was a little gloomy.

But Mr. Lu shook his head: "No, Reinhardt will only imply Ernest and even Prince Lech attacked us, and he will not send anyone to kill us."

"You just trust him so much? Or did he promise you something?"

Mr. Wu did not answer Curhusse's question and was still focused on the parchment in front of him.

Seeing this, Kuhuis understood that the other party didn't want to say it, so he had to scratch his head helplessly, and then changed the subject and said, "What should I do if Earl Uman? Just let him humiliate you like this?"

Mr. Lu paused his hand as he picked up the pen and said softly: "The two heads of descendants of the Saint Theon family are enough to win the trust of the Saint Heards."

Kuhuis thought for a while, as if he understood what Mr. Wei meant, and pondered: "You destroyed the Eagle City, and he killed your sister and your son, yes, so that the people of the St. Heards can indeed think that you have broken up.

But, can you continue to trust this person under such circumstances?

Will Earl Uman continue to trust you?"

Mr. Lu shook his head: "The word trust is too luxurious. I just think that Earl Uman will make the choice that is most beneficial to him. This choice will also help me.

That's why I allowed him to take Penny and Lawrence's heads."

"What does it mean?" Kuhuis obviously couldn't keep up with Mr. Siu's thoughts.

"After Duke St. Heard's death, the one who is most likely to inherit the throne of Duke is actually the only two left Vera and Joyce. Earl Uman cannot support Vera because he has a grudge against Viscount Angre.

So, he will definitely stand on Joyce's side.

And one of my next major goals is also the Angeles family.

Therefore, no matter how much Earl Uman hates me, he will be my natural ally."

Speaking of this, a helpless look appeared on Mr. Lu's face: "I originally had better arrangements for Earl Uman, but now, because of the reckless actions of the two idiots... that's all."

Kuhus smiled and suddenly said, "Speaking of this, Vera was my student in Jewell. Do you want me to help you?"

The teacher paused and looked at Kuhusse carefully for a while. Until he felt uncomfortable in his eyes, he finally nodded and said:

"Okay, you can try it. However, I want to remind you that Viscount Angrey is not easy to deal with."
