Law of the Devil Chapter 141: [Heart is like an abyss]

Chapter 141 [Heart Like Abyss]

The disciple of the legendary magician Gandalf, the youngest magic bachelor in the Roland Continental Magic Union, the eldest son of the Imperial Army's senior minister, the legal heir of the Roland family of the Wuxun family (although it has been neglected, at least the Earl has not yet He officially announced his abolition.) On this series of already dazzling titles, it is time to add a more awesome aura: the first committee member of the Imperial Academy of Magic. And from the point of view, it is still the most important one!

If there is no accident, although this member has no direct power to order, if there is a conflict between the official opinions of the Empire and the magic union, or if there is any official order document, etc., stand in Du From Wei's standpoint, his words can almost play a decisive role.

Affirmative or veto!

Once the Magic Academy is established, it will completely change the thousands of years of magic tradition on the mainland by the magic union, promote the culture of magic, and increase the number of magicians (although the quality is still a doubt), but only This is enough to push the young Master Dewey to a cusp position.

"I just want to know why you told me the news now." Du Wei looked at the silent father: "I know that before today, you originally planned to wait until the summer festival before telling me this The news? Oh, no, let me guess. Maybe you haven't thought about telling me personally that such a big news will be announced in public by His Majesty in person at the summer ceremony. This is enough to make a sensation. Am I right? My father! "

"It's true." Count Raymond nodded. Looking deeply at his son, he saw the indifference in his son's eyes. This indifference was actually noticed from his son's eyes when he returned triumphantly. This time the son returned to the capital from the Rollin Plain. This indifference has been carefully hidden in the depth of his eyes, and At this moment, finally revealed again!

Earl Raymond sighed, "I won't answer your question first. My son, before that, we need to talk frankly and honestly! Real frankness!"

"As you wish." Du Wei shrugged and smiled with a three-pointer.

Count Raymond "appropriately" ignored the mockery in Dewey's tone. He looked dignified, looked at Dewey, and suddenly came out like this: "You are my son, this is The fact that cannot be changed. No one can change: you, part of the Rollin family! "

"... Yes." Du Wei nodded for a moment.

"The establishment of the Academy of Magic involves the ownership of such a huge power in the future, such a major event. You must understand that now you are not only pushed to the cusp of the wind, but also at Awkwardly, there is the entire Rolling family. And I myself! "Count Raymond said in a serious tone:" Yes, as Her Majesty the Emperor, or the Chairman of the Magic Union, you have recognized that you are the most appropriate buffer for conflicts Because of your status as a magician and a noble child, you seem to be able to represent the common interests of both parties, and you are the most suitable intermediary candidate. No smart politician will try to intensify contradictions, because it is too dangerous. Until you are not sure enough, you will not be guaranteed to bear huge losses and your opponent's face will turn! But now, Her Majesty the Emperor and the Chairman of the Magic Union are holding this idea. In this case, everyone needs you as a person You can appropriately alleviate everyone's contradictions and create a delicate balance in the conflict. This way. Your position. Will not waver in the short term. This is a good thing for you, but ...... "

Du Wei is very smart, he immediately understood what his father meant. Before Earl Raymond had finished speaking, he had sighed, "But for the Rowlings, it is a very bad thing, do you mean that?"

"That's right!" Count Raymond's face was gloomy: "Because of your existence, the family has been dragged to an extremely dangerous level!"

Du Weiming.

"You are my son. No matter how you are, you represent a member of the Rollin family! Now you should remember that the day you came back, here, in this room, I was right What did you say? "

After listening to his father's question, Du Wei didn't hesitate and immediately answered: "I remember, here, you said to me, 'Begin today, you have returned to the imperial capital, and your every move represents the Luo Lin family.' .I still remember the kind of kindness you gave me that day that I have never enjoyed in my 14 years of life. "

At the end, Du Wei glanced deeply at his father. The look was not sharp, but Count Raymond couldn't help turning his face slightly, as if he avoided his son's eyes.

After groaning for a while, the Count sighed: "It is for this reason! The Rollin family is loyal to the royal family. In any case, the Rollin family is the family of Wu Xun who protects the Royal family, and the glory of our family. All powers, the foundation of the entire family, rely on the thorn flower banner of the Roland Empire! And now, in our family, you have such a marginal figure ... Indeed, your appearance is the emperor and The existence of the magic union chairman is recognized. But this recognition is helpless and has to be done! So, you are acquiesced by everyone. But ... In this case, you think that the emperor will continue to be as before Believe me? Will you still trust the Rowlings as before? "

Du Wei didn't think too much about this, and he quickly shook his head.

The answer is obviously negative!

Rolling ’s family has a guy with a deep “enemy camp” mark on it. As an emperor of the empire, the old man who is very self-contained and very happy will definitely give a little suspicion to the Rohring family. It's offensive.

What do leaders want? What is needed is the absolute loyalty of his subordinates to himself and absolutely unreserved loyalty! Such subordinates are liked by most leaders. Such subordinates will be trusted by most leaders!

But now, the Rollin family has given birth to one of its own guys. Although it is a "double-sided character" defaulted by helplessness, it has caused the emperor's loyalty to the Rollin family.

Even if the emperor trusted the Count Raymond again, and now the Count Raimon has raised such a son who "inclined" to the opposing camp, it is enough for the emperor to have a bit of aversion to Count Raymond.

Your own son has become a magical union. Do you still want to get unreserved trust from me?

Perhaps, unless you are a great-level leader, you can have that kind of tolerance. It is a pity ... the current Emperor Augustine VI does not seem to be such a person!

"And you don't know ... Your emperor has been inferior to him in the past two years, and sometimes his temper has become very violent and lonely. In recent years, no one has dared to anger him." There was a trace of anxiety between Earl Raymond's eyebrows: "And more unfortunately. Presumably you have read so many history books, and you should know that before the emperor dies, he will consciously suppress some of the military's real powers. On the one hand, It is a deterrent. On the one hand, it is also a practice to prevent the emergence of strong and weak land and being taken over by the power minister after the death of the emperor. Unfortunately, after this incident, our Rowling family Your Majesty has been 'looking at it differently'. If you think about it, the emperor will suppress a military minister to demonstrate, who will he choose? "

Du Wei Shensheng replied: "It should be us."

"Yes, not right." Count Raymond smiled bitterly: "According to the current situation, to be precise. You will be pulled down or even promoted ... and the entire Rollin family will be faintly suppressed. Your body With regard to the Academy of Magic, the emperor did not dare to offend you, worrying that your double-faced character would completely fall to the magic union, so you may get some benefits, but the Rollin family will suffer some losses. Political things That ’s why. This is not my concern. After all. As long as you are still a member of the Academy of Magic, then the emperor will not do too much, after all, it depends on your face. I worry about the long run! "

Dewey understands. Father's worry was right.

The image of the Luo Lin family has always been the core aristocratic giants united tightly around the royal family, the family of Wuxun trusted by the royal family, and one of the pillars of the empire ... but all this is based on a fine tradition: Allegiance to the royal family for centuries.

But now, there is a "semi-traitor" of Dewey, and in a matter of such magnitude, it is enough to give the Rowling family an absolutely loyal image and become a stain. .

"In fact, the emperor doesn't need to do anything else, as long as the magic school is over ... After all, you can't assume this thing forever, as long as you leave from this position, then the Rollin family is really in trouble. Even There is no need for the emperor to deliberately suppress us. As long as the royal family hates us and no longer trusts us ... Without the royal family's trust, the decline of the Rollin family is not far away! "Count Raymond smiled bitterly:" This is what I worry about most Question. "

Du Wei looked at his father: "Since you already think so, then you must have thought of a countermeasure?"

"Yes." Count Raymond's face was ugly: "To gain the re-trust of the royal family ... or, to get the" re-trust "of the emperor, there is only one way to do it! The royal family is grateful to us and trust us again! But now there is nothing peaceful on the mainland, and there is no war. It is impossible for us, Wuxun family, to do battle. So, if we want to do something, there is only one way ... "

"... Embrace." Du Wei sighed again.

He already understands.

What is the greatest contribution to an emperor? What courtier likes best?

The biggest credit is to stand up! His favorite subjects are those who support him as emperor!

"I have no hope for the current emperor, that old fellow. My greatest hope rests on the prince, as long as we successfully support a prince to ascend to the throne, in the battle for the throne If you win, you will win the gratitude and trust of the new emperor! This great achievement is the guarantee for the long-term development of the Rollin family! "Count Raymond looked at his son with deep eyes.

Du Wei no longer knows how many times he sighed today, but he still looked at his father helplessly: "Eagerly. It is indeed the best way at present, although it is a gamble, But if the bet is won, then the gain of land will also be huge ... just don't know, which prince you put the bet on? "

"Big prince."

After listening to his father's answer, although Du Wei had already guessed it, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The great prince, it should be the one who sent assassination to prince chen last night.

But it seems that he and Prince Chen came together last night.

So it seems. As if I was really "wrong." At this moment, Du Wei suddenly gave birth to a bit of guilt. It seems that this existence is really a lot of trouble for the Rollin family.

If they don't exist on their own, the Rollings won't be caught in the middle of the establishment of the Academy of Magic. If it weren't for their own existence, the Rollin family would not be in the matter of supporting the new emperor ...

In this sense, it is really a scourge to the Rowlings.

It is the existence of oneself that has left the family in this embarrassing situation.

"Father. In your opinion, in the battle for conquest, does the prince have an advantage over the prince Chen? I spent the night with prince Chen and felt that person ..." Du Wei also Not finished. Count Raymond has interrupted him: "Prince Chen is young and intelligent, admired for his ingenuity, amiable and well-preserved. He is young but already very atmospheric! I know all this. Unfortunately, if he Ten years early, I will definitely bet on him. Unfortunately, he is too young! "

Earl Raymond shook his head: "The eldest prince was the son of His Majesty who was born in his twenties. He is fifty years old this year, one year older than me. Her Majesty has been until the birth of Prince Chen. He was cultivated as an heir! The Prince Chen has only made its appearance in recent years, but the Grand Prince has been deeply entrenched in the empire and has been carefully arranged for decades. His influence and influence in all aspects far exceed that of Dichen Prince. Now in the empire, many senior officials like me are almost all close friends or old acquaintances who grew up with the grand prince, and there are even many friends who have been friends since childhood! It is too young! Even in the Northwest War more than 20 years ago, the great prince had participated in the preparations for the war, and even went to parallax in front of him. In the Empire ’s military, his influence was far greater than Chen The prince is much deeper. Especially the imperial capital must be controlled by the guards! The great prince's hard work in the past three decades was not wasted. Although Chen Chen has obtained the palace magician and the secret guard of the inner court. Backward too much on the strength. "

Du Wei stopped talking. Although he admired Prince Chen very much. But he believed in his father's vision that the imperial minister who had spent half his life in politics. Definitely a hundred times better than knowing the situation.

Du Wei thought for a while, then looked at his father, his eyes were calm: "Master Father, I think I understand what you mean."

"It's good to understand." Earl Raymond sighed. "The day you came back, I asked Alpha to tell you not to go out ... alas, unfortunately, you didn't listen to it. In fact, I should have told you These, but ... "Speaking of this, Earl Raymond's eyes flowed with a very complicated light.

Du Wei looked at his father. Although his eyes were calm, the peace was more disturbing.

For a long time, Du Wei whispered: "Father, can I ask you a question? I hope you can tell me the true answer, no matter what the answer is, I will accept it!"

"... you ask." Count Raymond's voice seemed bitter.

"On my way to the imperial capital." Du Wei's voice was smooth, as if talking about other people's affairs: "Those who assassinated me ..."

Until Dewey finished speaking, Count Raymond's eyes flashed resolutely: "Don't ask, I sent it."

Du Wei had already guessed this answer, but at this moment he was surprised to find that he didn't have the slightest anger and resentment in his heart. Looking at his father, Lord Earl, Du Wei suddenly felt that there was only one in his heart. It feels empty, even this kind of empty. Make him unable to inspire a trace of resentment!

He didn't even ask "why."

Hum ... do you still need to ask?

When he returned that day, Lord Earl had already stated the answer in secret.

Earl Raymond said at the time, "Because of this robe on you!"

This robe, the robe of a magician! Because you become a magician! Your arrival will drag the family into a fierce whirlpool! Therefore, in order to avoid the difficult position that will soon be brought, and for the safety of the family, this son can only be sacrificed! As long as there is no Dewey, the Rowling family can avoid being trapped between the royal family and the magic union!

Compared to the future of the entire family, what is the value of a son?

Looking at the calm, almost deadly expression on his eldest son's face. Count Raymond suddenly trembled ... The boy in front of him, the boy with a calm look, was his son!

Knowing the news that his father was about to kill him, is he so calm?

Do you hate it? Or, hate it so much that it's numb?

"Du Wei." Count Raymond suddenly drew all his strength, and said loudly: "There are two things, I have not deceived you ... The first one is. I did prevent the summoning of you to return to the capital city. , And even procrastinated, but unfortunately in the end, I still could n’t resist the pressure from the royal family and the magic union! The second thing is ... I told you, I exiled you to the Rollin Plain, I really wanted to protect you. It ’s my son. Even if I thought you were mediocre and incompetent, I hope you can live a peaceful and prosperous life in your hometown! These words. I did not deceive you! "

For a long time, as long as a century has passed, Dewey slowly raised his head and stared at his father's face.

At this moment, the hero of martial arts who has been in the empire for years and the giant of the imperial military seems to be really old.

Du Wei suddenly smiled, his smile was so calm. Then he looked at his father and said calmly: "So, father, let me tell you something. The day I came back, I told you: I don't hate you. This sentence, now, still No change. I ... don't hate you. "

After saying this, Du Wei bent down deeply and bowed to his father. Then turned around and pushed the door to leave the study. Just when his foot stepped out of the study door. Suddenly he stopped again, and he didn't look back. He just turned his back to Earl Raymond, and his voice drifted slowly: "There is one more thing, though I think you will learn about it soon, but let me remind you first. Prince Chen ... he has one in his hand. Magically magical treasures seem to summon a powerful magical creature. I only learned about it last night. "

This made the count of Raymond slightly change!

After saying this, Dewey really left, leaving his father's study without looking back.

Leaving the gloomy courtyard of Earl Raymond's study, Du Wei felt as if his chest was blocked. When he breathed, he felt heavy in his chest. He walked slowly in Earl's Mansion and looked up. The sky.

"This life is really lonely like snow ... hehe, but unfortunately, if it is summer, if you want to see snow, I'm afraid it's only the frozen forest."

At this moment, Du Wei suddenly missed everything in the frozen forest!

At least in the place where there are killing Warcrafts everywhere, it seems that it is the most fulfilling and happy day that I have spent after I came into this world.

Whether it is Gandalf, the old magician, Hussein, or Dardanelle of the Liszt family, the men who risk their lives all day long ... the harsh exercise there, there His adventure career, where the snow and ice, camped in the snow forest, drunk the cold to drive the cold, and ran on the World of Warcraft ... at least there were so many life and death companions that he trusted himself! !!

Although the capital is prosperous, it is not our hometown!

Maybe human nature has a hint of escape. When Du Wei was lonely at the moment, he walked aimlessly, and when he looked up, he suddenly found that he had come to the inner house of the earl's house unconsciously.

A tall girl in a maid costume is coming forward. It is the maidess of the mother's countess. When she sees Dewey in the distance, she bends down, and then waits for Dewey to come in before raising her head. Come and whispered a smile: "Mrs. is asking me to come to you. I heard that you didn't return last night. Madam, but she didn't sleep all night."

Du Wei smiled and walked in.

The countess was born into a noble family. When she was young and unmarried, it was said that, like many young girls in noble families, she had received an aristocratic education since she was a child. She was gifted with flowers and painting. it is good. Count Raymond, who spoiled his wife, opened a garden in the inner house to satisfy his wife's hobby of playing with strange flowers.

At this moment, when Dewey walked into the courtyard, he saw his mother standing next to a clump of flowers. The countess, who was not bewildered, was still beautiful, with a lilac robe standing beside the blooming rose. But the delicate flowers have lost their glory.

The countess is silently looking at the flowers in front of her, but she seems to be dreaming.

Du Wei walked over and smiled softly, "Mother, are you enjoying the flowers? Or are you thinking about painting in your heart? This summer flowers are so gorgeous, why don't you record their beauty on the drawing board? Come on. When winter comes, wouldn't it be more flavorful to watch? "

The countess turned to look at her son, her beautiful face with a hint of anxiety: "Dou Wei. You come here. I heard your father called me when I heard you came back ... he was very bad last night Glad, did you punish you again? "

Du Wei shook his head, just smiling quietly.

The countess sighed, walked away from the flowers, came to the son, and gently squeezed Du Wei's shoulders, and said softly: "Your father has been in a bad mood recently ... I know, The burden on the family has been on his shoulders for decades. Although I rarely ask him, after all, I can hear some wind in the capital, and it seems that the family has encountered some trouble recently ... "

Speaking, the beautiful countess' eyes fluttered, and she stared quietly at her son, then gently raised her hand, as if wielding a trace of dust on Du Wei's forehead. Frowning: "Where did you go last night. All the clothes on the floor are dirty."

Of course, Du Wei won't say that he almost hanged up with a powerful undead black magician last night, just smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just messed up with my friends."

"Well, you finally have friends. I'm also relieved." The countess smiled gently, stroking Dewey's face gently, Dewey felt her mother's fingers, warm and delicate, could not help but feel soft. Then I heard the countess whisper to herself: "You are my son and my first son. Although some words are spoken, it is a little unfair to Gabri ... but in the three years your father went to the military, You alone are with me by my side. In fact, in my heart, I have always loved you more. "

Du Wei silently, just looking at his mother.

"Du Wei, can I ask you for one thing?" The countess sighed softly. This sigh, like a resentment, came into Du Wei's ears lightly. The woman was sad and soft.

"Mother, say it." Du Wei smiled: "Any wish you have is the will of the Most High God!"

“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the peculiar countess changed her face, and quickly stretched out her soft palms to cover Du Wei's mouth, her beautiful eyes were full of soft blame:" You are not too young, but you must not say this This blasphemy, do you understand? "

Oh ... I almost forgot, my mother is a devout believer. Du Wei sighed, and in the night of her illness, her mother was still kneeling in the temple and prayed for herself.

Suddenly, the countess looked at her son with a plea in her voice: "Du Wei, in fact, I know that you are not what others say, you are my son, I love you and love you, and I know you very well. You are a very smart person, and your ability is absolutely beyond your imagination! And your father ... Although I do n’t know why, your father and son have always been at odds, I know. But now ... Your father is working hard and frowning. I am very worried ... Du Wei, at present, your brother is only eight years old and a young child. Only you can help your father to worry. After all, you are talking about my blood, and also the blood of the Rollin family. I just ask you, don't be jealous of your father for so many years of neglecting you, if you can ... can you help him more ... "

At the end, the countess' voice was already softly begging, her eyes were kind, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Looking at the mother in front of her, Du Wei suddenly remembered that when she was young, she came into her bedroom barefoot at night, singing beautiful and melodious songs, and sleeping with her. The scene comes.

"Mother ..." Du Wei took a deep breath and slowly said, "For you, I am willing to do anything, even if it is to challenge the gods! Please rest assured, there is me, the glory of the Rollin family, absolutely not Will fall! "

The boy stood in front of his mother. His voice seemed calm, but it was absolutely decisive!

The beautiful countess was smiling, and she looked at her son with relief. However, she was gentle and kind and didn't know what kind of heavyness and what kind of pain she was carrying in the heart of her most beloved son at the moment. Under such heavy suffering, this seemingly simple promise actually represents an oath of pious!

When summer is empty, Dewey feels like an abyss!
