"Next, just follow the steps," Goethe pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up like a heavy mountain, his eyes like a torch, locked deeply on Aranza, "Aranza, I know you are not interested in these things, but you must
You have to do it and don't live up to your father's name. You know that you are different from others, the King of Heroes... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would still be the head of the Lane family revered by everyone at this time, instead of being looked up to in history."
"To take on the responsibility of the family, you must inherit it." Goethe said the last word, then turned and left Aranza's small building without staying any longer.
Goethe, one of the elders of the family council, is famous for his moody temper in the family. Just like before, Aranza was supposed to go to see him, but he came forward to find Aranza on his own. Therefore, when the old man shook his head and left, Aranza
He won't take it too seriously, even if what he says hits the mark.
Aranza turned to look at old Follett and said, "Grandpa Follett, well, the old man lost his temper again, what should I do next...?"
Hearing this, Old Follett smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, after completing the task of receiving you this time, I will leave the Lane family, so I am afraid that no one is more concerned about your next itinerary than me."
Aranza sighed and said nothing, just waiting for old Follett to continue.
"Just like Mr. Goethe said, you just need to follow the steps. There will be a banquet for the contestants of the family rookie competition tonight, and then the official rookie competition will start. Your Highness, don't worry, there is no Al among the contestants in this competition.
For those of the Sith Dukes, after the game, you can safely choose new members for your mercenary group."
At this point, Old Follett suddenly became energetic and continued: "The intention of Mr. Goethe, Mr. Lampman, and Mr. Nice is to let the prince restrain his sharpness and not let Duke Alsis find a way to deal with you.
, when the rookie competition is over, you will leave the Black Chain Castle directly. The three adults will draw some elites from their armies to help you develop your own territory. If His Highness the Prince does not mind, I will go to assist you. etc.
Once you have your own power and can compete with Duke Alsis, the family council will vote to impeach Duke Alsis and allow you to take the position of head of the family."
"Oh? In that case, Grandpa Lampman's granddaughter...as for Elita, doesn't her identity also allow her to be the head of the family?"
"Lord Lampman said that the era of mercenary kings has passed for too long, and they have stayed in the position of family masters for too long, but the era of hero kings has just ended. The most important thing is that after the death of His Majesty the King,
It is a shame for the King of Heroes that the person who inherits the position of the head of the family is not a prince, but an unworthy duke. Therefore, you must fight for the position of the head of the family."
"Well, let's do it." Aranza nodded and agreed. For him, he didn't want to do family matters at all, but he had to do it, and even if he didn't want to, he had to pretend to be willing.
.
After Old Follett said this, he made an appointment with Aranza to come to greet him and go to the banquet later. Then he bowed and left without disturbing Aranza anymore. As for what Aranza's attitude would be towards what they had arranged for him.
, Old Follett firmly believed that His Royal Highness the Prince was as ambitious as the late King.
There is ambition, but Aranza's ambition, just like the name of the Thorn Mercenary Group, is the entire continent, and it is based on his own hands, not the title of the son of the Hero King.
Aranza watched Old Follett leave, reached out and patted Silas on the head, sighing: "Well, it's not easy to be the son of the King of Heroes. Your father is the king of Azshara's primeval forest. As its child
, do you feel the same?"
Silas yawned and shook his head at Alanza, and then a wave of soul was captured by Alanza. It was Silas's words: Warcraft does not have the intrigues of humans, and only respects the law of the jungle with the supremacy of force.
After interpreting this sentence, Aranza couldn't help but nod in approval. Then, he stopped thinking about it and turned around to go upstairs. Aranza was a little worried about Dolores.
When Jiexi saw Aranza in the room, she immediately put her fingers in front of her mouth as a gesture of silence, pulled him to the corridor, and whispered: "She is asleep, don't disturb her for now."
"Yes." Aranza nodded and looked into the room. The prairie elf was lying on the gorgeous mahogany bed and fell into a deep sleep. There were still clear tears on her cheeks. Jiexi used a magical scroll for her and was chained.
The wound from the strangulation had healed. At this time, Cyril and Nicole were carefully wiping the remaining blood stains on her body after the wound healed.
There was a little guilt in Aranza's eyes, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Okay, it's okay. Dolores has taken many lives and is not as fragile as you think." Seeing that Aranza was speechless, Jiexi said, "What are the plans for the next step?"
"Well, I'm going to attend a banquet for the rookie competition contestants later," Aranza replied.
"I'll go too. I made too many mistakes today. I still need to hone my ability to deal with these situations." Jie Xi said seriously.
Hearing this, Aranza couldn't help laughing out loud: "It's not like we're going to fight."
"Aranza!" After hearing his words, Jessie stretched out her finger rudely, pointed at Aranza's chest, and scolded, "Don't keep fighting. I heard from Nicole that Shim's identity is
But the head of the family and his son, do you know what the consequences will be if you hit him? No, you will definitely kill him as soon as you take action. You can kill the dead demon if you want, but you will have to pay more for it.
It’s not worth it!”
"But if not, what should I do? Well, the old man doesn't come out every time." Aranza scratched her head and said innocently.
Hearing this, Jie Xi sighed helplessly, took back the hand that was poking Aranza, and said softly: "So...I said, I made too many mistakes today..."
"Uh..." As for what happened today, Aranza didn't really care about anything except Dolores. Jiexi suddenly said this, which made Aranza unable to adapt. He patted Jiexi on the head.
He tried his best to look carefree and comforted her without feeling distressed.
As the girl began to grow, the charm on Jie Xi's face became more and more intense. At this moment, it was accentuated by a sense of apology, and there was an indescribable softness.
Jessie did not stop at this topic. While listening to Aranza retelling the conversation she had just had with Old Follett and Goethe, she began to prepare for attending the rookie banquet. Although Old Follett asked Aranza to rest assured about the participating members, no one
I wonder if I will meet someone like Shim at the banquet.
Not long after, the sky was dim. Old Follett appeared in front of everyone again. Jessie asked Cyril and Silas to stay and take care of Dolores. She and Nicole accompanied Aranza and went there under the guidance of Old Follett.
Banquet location.
The group of people all put on their costumes, and Aranza's two-handed giant sword was put away by Jessie. After passing through the narrow corridor of the Black Chain Castle, the door to the side hall where the banquet was held was in front of them. Old Follett only sent it here, turned around and left.
Go. The guards guarding both sides of the gate recognized Aranza at a glance. They immediately stepped forward and saluted Aranza as a knight. Then, one of them turned around and announced loudly into the side hall.
"Son of King of Heroes Hercules Lane, contestant of the Rookie Competition Group A, Sir Aranza Lane has arrived!"
Hearing this, the contestants at the banquet turned their heads one after another, focused their gazes, and gathered at the luxurious carved door.
There, Aranza was wearing a black tiled tuxedo, Jessie was wearing a simple lavender dress, and Nicole had brought her own traditional banquet dress. The two charming girls were holding Aranza's arms.
With both hands on their hands, a group of three people walked into the banquet venue.
"Humph, you look like a playboy at first glance!"
At this moment, a sound broke the brief silence brought about by Aranza's appearance, but the sound was too abrupt, causing the venue to become strangely quiet again. Even the band playing at the same time stopped playing, curiously looking for the source of the sound.
The son of the King of Heroes, although according to the rumors I heard today, he was insulted by Shim as soon as he returned to the family, but the contestants were not that stupid and would not think that Aranza was easy to bully.
So it was too impulsive to criticize Aranza as soon as they met.
However, when everyone discovered the source of this voice, they couldn't help but dumbfounded. The person who said this was an extremely small girl. Yes, very small. She was only as big as a normal person's hand.
At that time, this little guy was sitting on the dining table not far from Aranza, holding a grilled lobster that was extremely huge for her and gnawing hard as if nothing had happened.
This is the Fulan tribe. They are extremely small, usually only as big as a palm. Such a size can easily attract the love of girls. Some nobles even want to keep them as pets. However, the cute-looking Fulan tribe members are born with extremely high magic.
With talent, almost everyone is a magician.
The history of the Thorn Continent tells people not to try to bully the Fulan people, otherwise you may face overwhelming magical fireballs.
"What are you looking at, you big carrot!" The little girl from the Fran ethnic group found Aranza staring at her with a strange expression, and started complaining shamelessly.
