Main area, a house with a very rough style.
"Earl, are we really going to act against the Pello Family?"
"Although it's a bit disrespectful, it shouldn't be just because Young Master Aboer suffered so humiliation, and that kind of thing..."
A person Liens was very familiar with respectfully asked an old man.
"Of course I understand that kid Aboer's personality, and I also know that this kid got carried away by lust, tried to tease soone, and ended up being taught a lesson."
"He's almost fifty years old, and he still has such an unaccomplished personality... Alas, how can I rest assured entrusting the family to him."
The Earl sighed.
The man beside him did not reply, still maintaining a respectful attitude, waiting for the old man's next words, because the old man's words just now did not answer his doubts.
This indicates that either the old man hasn't finished speaking, and what he said just now was just a prelude; or the old man doesn't want to talk about this topic.
Whichever it was, it wasn't suitable for him to speak imdiately.
"Cliff, you've seen my recent condition, haven't you... Perhaps I'm old, I really feel my body is failing recently."
"I also don't know how many more years I can support the Glenbagen Family..."
Hearing the old man's words, Cliff, who was beside him, imdiately interrupted him anxiously: "Earl, please don't say such disheartening words, you will surely live a long life."
"Haha, indeed, I am a Great Knight after all, living a hundred years is easy."
"However, my body has indeed been failing recently, so I'm considering that it's ti to delegate power."
The Earl laughed heartily, responding to Cliff with a relaxed expression.
The old man's ease made Cliff breathe a sigh of relief, then he asked the initial question again: "Then what is the Earl's reason for choosing to act against the Pello Family?"
"I've seen Old Pello's granddaughter; her talent is indeed good. At a young age, her magic is already very proficient, and she might even have hope of becoming a Grand Magician."
"Unfortunately, she is not a mber of the Glenbagen Family..."
The Earl replied with a calm expression.
"Does the Earl an to get rid of her?" Cliff asked the old man for confirmation.
"I don't want any threats to the Glenbagen Family's control over Kara City to appear, but directly eliminating the Pello Family would only alienate our relationship with other families."
"So, let them choose to leave Kara City themselves... I believe Old Pello can see my thoughts, otherwise, there won't be a shortage of a Pello Family on the path of the family's advancent."
"Also, let the family's Dark Guards move around, so others can see the Dark Guards' strength and enhance the family's deterrence."
"This matter is entrusted to you, Cliff."
"Yes, Earl."
Cliff solemnly accepted the order, then left the room as the old man waved his hand, signaling him to do so.
"Click!"
"Cough cough..."
Brought to you by the folks at *.
The mont the door closed, the old man could no longer hold back a few coughs. His expression was dim, and he sighed: "Old, old..."
...
The "conscription" ca even faster than Liens had imagined.
While he was having dinner in the evening, the wooden token in his arms lit up, and even the black clothes on his body couldn't conceal the dazzling blue light.
He took it out and held it in his hand, then Liens turned to look at the others in the dining hall.
He found that blue light appeared on many people, and these people all, without prior agreent, showed an unpleasant expression.
It was as if they had eaten sothing bad, with faces full of constipation.
Seeing this, Liens had a general idea in his mind.
"Liens, this is?"
Ben, who was beside him, asked, and Harriman also looked at Liens with a puzzled expression.
Both of them were lucky and were not chosen.
"I'm not sure, but I don't think it's anything good, otherwise, those old seniors wouldn't look so bad."
Liens calmly ate his al, responding casually.
Since the matter was already set and couldn't be changed, why be afraid and disturb one's mind, affecting one's originally good state?
After a while, the wooden token stopped glowing, and then a "broadcast" began to sound in the dining hall.
The broadcast sounded like a male voice, and the tone was very serious.
"Attention, attention, all Dark Guards whose wooden tokens have lit up, gather in front of the Mission Hall before 7:30 PM."
"Those who are late will be executed!"
......
The sa words were broadcast several tis in a row, then stopped.
"I think it should be the 'conscription' we talked about before."
"However, even if it's a 'conscription', it doesn't necessarily an death. I've already prepared what needs to be prepared."
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate... Don't worry, I will definitely co back alive."
"Let's continue eating. Performing a mission on an empty stomach will only increase the chances of accidents."
Before Ben and Harriman could express their concern, Liens calmly spoke first, indicating that he was fine.
Seeing Liens so calm, Ben and Harriman didn't say anything more, lest they say too much and increase his psychological pressure.
After silently finishing dinner, the three of them, Liens, returned to the dormitory.
There was still plenty of ti before the assembly, so Liens naturally had to return to bring his equipnt and items.
Only by being well-prepared can one deal with any sudden situations.
"Ben, this is my 'diary'. Please keep it safe for ."
"If I don't make it back, you can open it and read my last words recorded on it."
"Of course, before that, if you want to open it and read it, that's fine too."
"Anyway, I didn't write anything embarrassing to show people on it."
Liens took out the notebook he had bought more than ten days ago, handed it to Ben, and then instructed him.
Ben took the notebook, then patted Liens's shoulder and laughed: "What last words? Didn't you say you would definitely co back alive?"
"Don't worry, I'll keep your 'diary' safe and wait for you to co back alive."
"Hmm, I will definitely co back."
"But this 'diary', you really can open and read it, there are very interesting things inside."
Liens responded to Ben with a smile.
Then, he turned to Harriman, who was standing silently by the side, and said: "Harriman, lend two Healing Potions."
Harriman, confused, took out two potions from his bedside table and handed them to Liens.
"This way we will have a debt relationship."
"People often say that even if you forget friends, you will never forget the person who owes you money."
"I hope you won't forget either."
Liens took the potions, put them in a special pocket, and joked with Harriman.
Harriman remained silent, quietly gazing at Liens, as if to firmly engrave his face in his mind.
"Alright, I'm leaving, my two friends. Wait for to co back."
Liens turned and walked out, waving goodbye to Ben and Harriman with a carefree attitude.
...
As night approached, the sun was slowly setting, and the moon was gradually rising. The orange glow of the sunset was gradually replaced by a faint silver light.
Liens arrived at the open space in front of the Mission Hall.
Although there was still at least an hour left until the designated ti, many people were already standing there, and he even saw familiar figures among them.
"Brother Jonathan, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be chosen too."
Liens walked over to Jonathan, who was standing in a secluded corner, and greeted him.
Seeing Liens's figure, Jonathan secretly cursed his bad luck, but still imdiately put on a smile and went to et him.
He hadn't forgotten the danger he sensed from Liens.
"I didn't expect even a newcor like you to be chosen. It seems the number of people in this 'conscription' should be quite large."
"By the way, seeing how well-prepared you are, you must already know about the 'conscription', right?"
Jonathan said with a smile.
"Hmm, I learned a bit about it from my roommate."
"However, I'm really a bit unlucky. I just arrived not long ago, and I was chosen for 'conscription'."
"Brother Jonathan, you must have experienced it many tis, right? Could you share so experience?"
Liens nodded, showing a wry smile as he responded.
"Among those present, who isn't unlucky? As for experience, I can only say, don't rush too far forward, and you'll be fine."
"The rest depends on individual strength and luck."
Jonathan quietly replied to Liens's question.
His voice was very low, like he was talking to himself, and only Liens, who was standing beside him, could clearly hear what he said.
Liens gave Jonathan a deep look, then nodded in thanks. It seed this guy's loyalty to the Glenbagen Family wasn't very high either...
"By the way, Brother Jonathan, do you mind if I rest here for a bit?"
"I rushed over right after dinner, and I want to sit down and rest to properly digest."
Liens then requested Jonathan.
"Of course you can, every place here belongs to the family, not mine."
"How could I stop you from sitting anywhere?"
Jonathan responded to Liens with a smile.
"Then, I'll take a nap... When the ti cos, I hope Brother Jonathan can wake up."
The thick-skinned Liens directly took the opportunity to ask Jonathan to be his free alarm clock.
"Uh? Sleeping? Sleeping in a place like this?"
Jonathan looked puzzled, but seeing Liens really close his eyes and fall asleep, he had no choice but to act as a free laborer, boredly becoming an alarm clock.
As for Liens, he entered the instance and went to "play" with Adonis.
