Chapter 399 Morality and Power

When Rolling saw Eru's grandfather, he was not ready to continue using Miss Wendylu's lies.≧,

He bowed deeply to the old man who was lying on the bed, and then said, "General Gris, Miss Wendylu has important news to tell you, and I beg you to ask the doctors and maids in the room to leave for the time being."

Elru's two uncles are close relatives, so of course there is no need to defend themselves, but doctors and maids are the easiest people to become other people's eyes, so they can't be careful.

Arthas glanced at Rollin, and waved without his father's orders, "You all go out."

The doctor and maid quit, Rollin entered the bedroom, closed the door, and first apologized: "I'm very sorry, I told a lie."

"Huh?" Arthas and the other man in the room held the hilt of the sword instinctively and looked at Rollin alertly. The old general lying on the bed turned his eyes and looked at Rollin, weakly saying: "You make it clear."

Despite this, his face still showed unconcealed disappointment. For many years, he had been wanting to know the news about his youngest daughter. Recently, he felt that the deadline was approaching, and this thought became even stronger.

Rollin took out the dagger that Eru gave him and handed it to Alsace who came forward when he saw the dagger: "Young Master said, you can confirm my identity when you see the dagger."

Arthas stood in front of his father and handed the dagger to Gris to watch. After the other party nodded, he asked the common doubts of the three people in the room: "Is Eru back?"

"Here I'm back."

"Where is he?"

“In a safe place.”

"You let this kid come over. Where else is safer than mine?" The old general patted the bedboard with some excitement. He coughed because he used too much force. Alsace hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

Luo Lin looked calm as before. He explained slowly: "You know. The old city lord died and the young master was declared missing. Young Master Elok will ascend to the throne in three days. In this case, the young master has to act carefully."

Gris took a few breaths. He noticed Rollin's expression, was a little surprised, and asked, "Who are you?"

"The guard of Young Master Elou. Rollin."

"It seems that there is no you when Elru sets off, right?" asked Alsace, a little uncertain, and turned to ask his younger brother: "Terry, have you seen him?"

Terry shook his head and said confidently: "I personally looked for the guard, there was no such person."

"Tell me what's going on?" asked the veteran general Gris a little.

Luo Lin nodded and began to tell the whole story: "At that time, Young Master Elou was on the ocean-going civilian ship. I fell off the boat drunk. He happened to see me and let someone save me on the boat. I knew some martial arts, and the Young Master encountered a robber group attack on the Wuyue Continent. There was only one guard by his side, so I became his new guard. Before I came, I agreed with the Young Master that if there was no accident, I would go out to greet him, so General, if you want the Young Master to come, I must go with you."

He spoke quickly and without any speed, his voice was clear and organized, and he explained things clearly in a few words. After hearing this, Gris looked at Rollin in surprise, and after a while, he said to his eldest son: "Go and bring your sister's son."

"Yes, father." Arthas nodded, and he said to Rollin: "Let's go."

Rollin nodded and followed Arthas out of the castle together. After arriving at the door of the manor, Rollin waved his hand. Eru and Juta, who were waiting at the corner of the street, were immediately overjoyed, but at least they did not lose their composure and did not rush to appear, because everyone knew that at this time, the Gregorian family would definitely be under strict surveillance.

"They saw us. I think we should go to the side door to wait for them." Rollin said.

"Okay." Arthas went to the secret side door next to the manor. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the door was knocked on. The door opened. Eru walked in and saw Arthas. He shouted in a crying voice: "Uncle!"

Arthas breathed a long sigh, took his nephew into his arms, patted him heavily, and comforted him: "Okay, just go home safely. Let's go and see your grandfather with your uncle."

The few people went to Gris' bedroom together. When the grandparents and grandchildren met, they naturally felt warm again, but after the warmth, Gris sighed: "Eru, you're back too late."

In the current situation, the old city lord has passed away and has made a clear will to establish a new heir. The giant eagle warriors in the entire Lion Heart City have also recognized this result. If it were in the past, Gris was still the general in the city, it would be possible to turn the overall situation around, but now, not only is he no longer a general, but his body is still in twilight. The power of his two sons is not top among the Force Warriors, and his prestige is even less. In such a big event, few people will follow them.

In this case, he was willing to help, but he was unable to make up for the truth.

Elu also knew that the situation was extremely difficult. The more he thought about it, the less hope in his heart, he asked, "Grandfather, what should I do now?"

"Let's go, leave the city of Lion Heart, the farther the better. Go to the Wuyue Continent. This is the only way to survive." Gris looked depressed and thought for a while. He said to Arthas again: "You go and open the treasury and get Eru three thousand gold coins and let him take it away."

The old man grabbed his grandson's hand tightly and instructed: "This money saves some money, find a big city in Wuyue Continent, buy some industries, and live well."

"Grandfather, is there really nothing I can do?" Elu still felt a little unwilling to accept it. Was his efforts along the way futile?

Gris shook his head: "Child, forget Lion Heart City. It no longer belongs to you."

Elu's face collapsed, and even his most respected grandfather said so. What else could he do? He sighed, willing to give up, but he was unwilling to accept it, and he was confused for a moment.

At this time, Alsace had returned, holding a large pocket in his hand, and the jingle inside was jingling, which should be gold coins. Three thousand gold coins were very heavy, but it didn't matter. Eru had a kind of magic wrapping thing, which was not much space inside, but it was enough to hold gold coins.

Seeing this bag enough for an ordinary person to enjoy money for several lifetimes, Eru was stunned, but he was still unwilling to fail. Although he was weak, he still had some ambitions in his heart. Along the way, he was fantasizing about what he should do after becoming the city lord and what to do so that his people could live a better life and make the Lion Heart City stronger.

But now, the bag of gold coins is like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting his already weak fighting spirit.

It is a problem to connect or not.

If he accepts his fate, he may be able to be a rich man with abundant food and clothing for the rest of his life. He will live a comfortable life. If he doesn't accept it, he will find a way out again and fight with his stepmother's power to the death, until his head is broken.

Eru hesitated, instinctively, he looked up at Rollin who had been standing in the corner of the room without making any sound.

He hopes that his guard can help him make this decision.

But Luo Lin hugged his chest with his hands and lowered his head slightly. The old god leaned against the wall without any response. He was waiting for Elu to make his own choice. If he was not strong and wanted to be a rich man, why should he carry him into the battle for the lord?

As for his derivative magic problem, at worst, he could find another opportunity to solve it. Anyway, the age of his ancestors was at least 50,000 years away from the future generations, and he had time.

"Hold it, don't have any fantasy, Eru!" Arthas urged: "Mendel Tobaldi, the most powerful and youngest Force warrior in Lionheart City, has become the general of Lionheart City. He firmly supports Elorke as the city lord, and we can't fight for him. Moreover, your talent is not outstanding, no one will hope that a weak person will lead Lionheart City. Although this is cruel, it is a fact!"

If possible, Alsace certainly hoped that his nephew could become the city lord, rather than the son of the Chamber of Commerce woman who had nothing to do with the Gregorian family. But the problem was that this nephew himself was not very successful, and he didn't have the confidence to support him at all.

Elru pursed his lips tightly and stretched out his hand several times, but eventually shrank back.

After a long time, he said, "I have been thinking about my future on the way back. I tried my best to find assistance and found some support, hoping that I could keep my heirs. I also gave the promise of protecting me to the death. If I give up, these promises will not be fulfilled. I don't want to retreat just like that."

Terry, who was standing by, couldn't listen: "Eru, what are you going to compete with Elork for the position of the city lord? Our Gregorian family cannot put the bet in a battle that will lose, even if you are my nephew. It's not that we don't want to support you, but that we have lost. The general trend of Lionheart City has been decided. No one has the ability to change, do you understand?"

This was already a little sharp. Eru did not comment. He looked up at the silent warrior standing by the wall: "Rolin, what do you say?"

"Whether things are successful or not depends on whether you can make up your mind." Luo Lin smiled.

"What do you mean?" Everyone in the room looked at Rollin, including the old general lying on the bed.

"There are two heirs in the city. If there are too many, if there is one less, there will be no so many disputes."

"You mean to kill my brother Elok? Wouldn't this be too cruel?" Eru was shocked.

Luo Lin smiled faintly: "I have lived for so long and have never seen a throne that is not stained with blood."

The top level, the crueler the competition is. Even brothers often face life-and-death situations. Personal morality and politics have always been strangers.

If you have something to say, those who achieve great things do not care about the details, this is roughly the same.

The three Gregorians were silent when they heard this. They did not object to what Rollin said. All three knew that if they wanted to accomplish a big thing but were restricted, they would be seeking death. It would be better to be an ordinary person, at least they could have a good ending.

The reason for being silent is that this fact does not have much chance of success. After a long time, Alsace said: "This is absolutely impossible. Mendel and at least fifty Force warriors guard the castle, with extremely strict defenses. Even peerless powerful men like Eric Kulatis, the lord of Ethan Castle, cannot break through. Our Gregorian family will never participate in such a plan with no possibility of success, which will drag our family into the Terras Hell!"

Luo Lin smiled faintly. From the reaction of the Gregory family, he already knew that these people were all mediocre people. But this is normal. For a family, it can last for such a moderate path, but this is destined that such a family cannot have a real strong man.

After thinking about it, he said, "If I can have the Force, no matter whether I can succeed or not, I am willing to give it a try for the young master."

The three Gregory family members in the room looked at each other. After a long time, the veteran general Gris said: "I have one of the Force seeds. It doesn't take long to fusion seeds. If you insist on trying, I, as Eru's grandfather, are willing to support them, but there is a condition."

"Please say it."

"You have to be a person without a status. I don't want my family to be implicated in any way because of the assassination."

"I am a person without a status, and no one knows me. Not many people have seen me." Luo Lin smiled.

"Arsace, go get the Force seeds for him!" Gris made the final decision: "Also, kill all the servants and doctors who have seen this guard in the castle!"

The decision was extremely cruel, and Rollin didn't comment, because there was no room for him to speak now, but he knew Eru wouldn't let this happen.

Sure enough, Eru was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, just imprison it. Grandfather, they are all innocent!"

"Hey, grab them into the basement. If it succeeds, let them go."

The implication is that if Luo Lin fails, these people will die. This is considered a step back, but it is still extremely cold. The cold Eru's body shivered slightly. (To be continued...)
