Chapter 1774 Gretel: Ask Me if I Want to Go to the White Wolf Territory?

The two old men sat facing each other, looking at the deep wrinkles and deep fatigue on each other's faces in the dim sunlight. One has hair as white as snow, and the other has a body as strong as steel.

Thirty years earlier, or even twenty years earlier, they had nothing to fear. White Wolf and Big Bear, two brothers working together, can withstand the most ferocious attack, and can make the barbarians pouring in like a tide and lay their corpses on the border...

It allows your own warriors to walk out of the swamp on the corpses of their enemies without even getting the soles of their shoes wet.

But they are all old.

When you are old enough to fight with all your strength again, you will lose the little life you have left;

Those who are too old may not be able to watch the new generation grow up, with sufficient strength and character, and then hand over the future of the family to them;

Too old...to give birth to another child in person.

They can only choose among existing children. However, looking left and right, none of them are satisfactory, none of them have shortcomings, and none of them are... too immature.

If you want to let these children take the helm of the family ship, I'm afraid the whole ship will capsize if you are not careful!

After all, the current situation is becoming more and more difficult and dangerous, and also more and more intense. If the previous family sailed on the Valenne River, which was wide but often subject to strong winds, then now, they had sailed out of the river and entered the vast Dadong Bay.

The depth of the water, the wind force, the polygonality of the ocean currents, the fragmented fjords on the shore, and the complex waterways caused by the fjords... are not comparable to driving in the river before.

"Lenny... in terms of strength alone, he is the best among the third generation. However, his temperament is a bit gloomy, not so aboveboard, and not very broad-minded. It's my fault..."

[Big Bear] Albery let out a long sigh:

"After little Leon became paralyzed, I never cared enough about him. As for Lenny, before, I only regarded him as a comfort to Leon. I gave him money and resources, but I didn't give him much guidance, let alone He treats him as a child of the family..."

Leon, his shrewdest son, had not left his wheelchair for decades after being paralyzed. Even if the family can guarantee his status as the family's counselor, the state of mind of a paralyzed person is still different from that of a normal person.

As for Lenny, he grew up as a warrior and peripheral member of the family, not as a direct descendant. In his upbringing, he had never considered the overall interests of the family and assumed the fate of the family.

"If it's just a gloomy temper, then it's okay to say that the Askan family has never had a gloomy and unsociable head." The elderly white wolf commented:

"But this kid... he is too close to the Holy See, too close... Some time ago, he broke through to the Sky Knight, and the medicines and resources he used were all from there... Also, around him, that A few people from the Glorious Holy See..."

[Big Bear] Albery snorted:

"I can smell that stench even though I'm two miles away, even in my sleep! It's not that the Glorious Holy See are all bad people. There are noble ascetic monks and priests who diligently take care of the people. But if you want to be the head of the family, You need to know where the family’s roots lie!”

"The child is still young, let's take a closer look." William, the white wolf with white beard and hair, slowed down his voice and persuaded you:

"Besides, who else can this family give it to?"

When it came to this issue, the two old men were silent for a while. After a while, Bai Lang finally commented with a wry smile:

"Julian can't afford hardship. Even if he leads troops out, he won't live in the same tent or eat the same food as the soldiers. Simon is too carefree, and I always feel that he will get into trouble one day."

"Linus is pretty good, but it's a pity that he's too young... A fifteen-year-old boy is already a seventh-level knight, and his qualifications can be said to be very good. However, no one can say whether he can become a knight... If …”

As soon as the word "if" came out, the two old men fell silent again and looked eastward in unison. In that direction, far, far away, there is a child, who is also of the Askan family's blood...

In other words, there is a high probability that it is the blood of the Askan family.

"If Gretl is willing to return to the family..."

"He can't do it." Before the younger brother finished speaking, the elder brother and the head of the family had already rejected it:

"A magician is not suitable to be the head of a family. On the one hand, this will immediately trigger the intervention of the Glorious Holy See, and even several legends will come over to intervene directly with force; on the other hand, a magician will not put his thoughts on the family territory. .”

[White Wolf] William's voice was full of regret, but his tone was extremely firm:

"Of course, if he can take care of the family for a period of time...a high-level mage, a high-level mage who is almost destined to become a legend..."

His voice unconsciously revealed great desire.

If such a high-level mage can build a mage tower in the family territory and keep an eye on the family from afar, then he can at least look after the family for twenty or thirty years, right?

On the bright side, maybe fifty or sixty years!

To this end, the resources that the family can contribute...territory, magic crystal mines, magic materials, sending a few apprentices there...as long as he is willing to accept them, these are all small things...

"What are you thinking about?" After thinking for a long time, Bai Lang suddenly laughed:

"It's hard to say whether he will come or not. Alas, if it were him, I wouldn't want to come. A promising magician, a future legend. What's wrong with staying in Nevis? You must come here. …”

It's remote and dangerous, and it's easy to conflict with the Glory Holy See. In terms of how many resources there are, the territory of their Askan family and the entire Kingdom of Kent are definitely not comparable -

It is said that the child is currently conducting research on Dragon Island? The entire Dragon Island devoted its efforts to the worship, which was many times more than what their family could provide!

"Well, even if he is willing to come over and take a look... If we can confirm his relationship with the family, we can have an excuse to intervene... If necessary, we can send someone to intervene..."

In this way, the pressure on the only legend in the family, their great uncle, can be much lower. It would be even better if we could delay the emergence of a second legend in the family...

A magician who takes the path of a healer, a high-level mage. He wouldn't be too greedy and sell the entire family, right?

The two old men sighed sadly at each other. On the distant Dragon Island, Gretel was staring at a specially encrypted document that only he could read:

"Ascan Territory? The territory where my father is located? There may be changes in the inheritance rights. Is there any sign of interference from the Glorious Holy See?"

"Ask me if I would like to go over there and recognize them? If necessary, can the parliament use my name to interfere with their inheritance?"

"I did a great job on Dragon Island!"
