Son of the Olden Days

For one of the chiefs of the empire and the three-seat elder Setin of the Dark Council, today is another day in despair. A large number of refugees in the south continued to flock to the main city of Odrensa, and there were too many problems with food, order, resettlement, and popular support that stripped his energy.

I...Is it really old?

In the carriage, Old Settin raised his hand slightly tired and beat his forehead lightly. Just over fifty years of age, wrinkles do not show awkwardness, this is the impression that Sethine usually leaves to the outside world, but sometimes, the deep mental exhaustion may not be visible from the outside.

"Squeaky~" The carriage stopped amid the ugly rubbing sound.

Old Setin got out of the carriage and walked into the somewhat deserted manor in the tribute of the mansion guard.

The old butler, who had already stood waiting outside the main hall of the mansion, immediately greeted him and familiarly accepted the pointed mage hat from the master. Then, at a distance of half a step behind, followed the old Patriarch into the main hall, and at the same time organized the news that needs to be reported today in my heart.

Old Setin’s working hours are actually divided into two parts, one is going to the Dark Council every day to handle various official duties, and the other is after returning to the mansion, making various decisions based on the news reported by the old housekeeper, although it is a private matter. It is also a kind of work.

The news reported by the old housekeeper usually covers all aspects of the mansion and life, but generally the old housekeeper will handle the small things like purchasing materials. Unless it is a visit from some other family, the old housekeeper will report it after consideration.

After all, Old Settin's position is here, and the big families with twenty-four seats under the Dark Council will inevitably come to the door with different thoughts. There are also some who leapfrogged to see, the Dark Cross reported privately, and all kinds of trivial matters combined together were actually quite a lot.

Although the elder Setin didn't like these welcoming and sending offs, his status determined that he could not directly cut off family diplomacy. Usually when it is about to enter the night, the people who come to visit will be slightly crowded, because they know that Old Settin will be free during this time.

However, visitors do not always beg to see Old Setin, because the elders sometimes return late at night, such as today. The old butler has been following Setin into the study, watching Setin fall into the recliner where he usually rests, and then he bows slightly from the side.

"Master, the dinner is already cold, I'll let someone warm it up again?" The old butler first asked Setin if he was going to eat.

"Let's later." In this midsummer weather, Old Setin had no appetite at the moment.

Listening to the tired voice of the old family master, and thinking about the deserted environment of the whole mansion, the old housekeeper felt a little distressed inexplicably.

In fact, at the age of the old Setin, as long as he wants to, he can still work hard and add a wife or even a few wives. It is not impossible to have a son in old age. But for some reason, since the previous wife passed away from a serious illness, Old Setin's relationship has suddenly become very persistent.

He insisted not to continue the string, and even stopped mentioning related topics ever since. So much so that the old housekeeper, who has followed the Patriarch for most of his life, did not understand whether the Patriarch missed his dead wife so much, or because the death of the young master broke his heart.

According to the established process, it is time to report the main issues of today's mansion. The old butler deliberated and said something else.

"Master, in the afternoon the butler from Missy's side came over and said that Missy had left alone three days ago." said the old butler.

The old Setin on the lounger heard the news and glanced at the old housekeeper slightly, as if waiting for the follow-up. However, he immediately realized that since it had just happened, his own old fellow would never go beyond him, so he made his own way to check the whereabouts of his daughter.

"Send someone to ask." Thinking of his daughter who was always gloomy, Old Settin waved his hand gently, then turned his head back and closed his eyes with some helplessness. After the old butler saluted, he quickly took his orders and left, and the room became completely quiet.

The feedback came back quickly, and when the old housekeeper came to the study again, it was just half an hourglass.

"Master, the eldest lady went to Pandor, the relay city, through the teleportation array of the main city." The old butler told the news.

Pandol? In the dark study with no candles, Old Setin's eyes flashed, and later he raised his hand and gently waved back the housekeeper.

The night was getting deeper, and Old Setin was lying on the bed tossing and turning, a little hard to sleep.

At last he sighed slightly, got out of bed, and then asked the servant to prepare the carriage to leave the mansion and go to the dark temple.

Since entering the dark calendar, the Temple of Darkness, the building that once symbolized the center of theocracy, has only left its historical glory and its symbolic significance. Usually, only the coming-of-age rites of the younger generations of each family will make this place a little lively because of the baptism.

In this magnificent and deserted old temple, there is a small side hall called "Between Destiny". Among them are the flames of life of the immediate family members of the major families of Odlensa, including the three elders of the parliament and the twenty-four seats below the parliament.

The so-called fire of life is actually just a magic trick, as long as a trace of the original magic power is left here, the flame condensed by the magic power will continue to burn. In other words, as long as someone who has left magic power has not passed away, the fire of life will never be extinguished.

So when someone in the family is suddenly missing, you can come here to see intuitively whether this person is still alive in the world.

In the early years of theocratic struggle, almost every archbishop who sits far away and the powerful high priest under his command will leave the fire of life here. In case the temple can know in time when one's own encounters are unexpected, it can also strengthen the bishops' sense of belonging to the divine authority.

Today after the dark calendar, many old things are hard to trace, but this ancient tradition is still preserved. It's just that the flames of life of the archbishops that once burned have now been replaced by the patriarchs and clansmen of the big families of the Dark Council.

Hearing that the three elders of the parliament suddenly came to the temple, the priest who was awakened in the middle of the night did not dare to complain, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile.

The old Setin shook his head slightly, declined the priest's guidance and accompany, and came alone between fate.

In this small showroom, there are exquisite racks on the wall, subdivided into several grids. At this time, there was a tiny grass-colored flame burning silently in each small grid. Old Settin looked for it with memory and quickly found the Gerald family.

Subconsciously staying in a certain dark space, Old Settin's expression instantly became a little sad, as if suddenly a lot older. The last time I came here seemed to have happened decades ago. It was here at the time when Old Setin saw the flame extinguished by the eldest son.

Since then, he has never been here again.

call! Pursing the corners of his mouth and exhaling deeply, Old Settin pulled himself out of the painful memory, and then tilted his head.

With his head tilted, his not-so-old eyes suddenly widened, first horrified, then ferocious, and instantly magical power all over his body surged.

Because he saw his only daughter now, Sinel's life fire, went out.

——————

Thor uses the twin towers to return to his bedroom from the ring. Although the ring is equivalent to a secret prison, it is slightly troublesome to use. When Thor put himself in the ring, he couldn't release himself as the caster with mental power.

If you want to come back, you must use the cooperation of the twin towers. Speaking of the Petronas Twin Towers, the teleportation formation from the Freedom City to the foothills of the Twilight Mountains has been completed recently, and it has been verified to be usable. Only then did Sol safely put the Petronas Towers back.

"Sorry, there are still some shortcomings in our teleportation array." Kletty said in Sol's arms at the time.

"Disadvantages? What do you mean?" Saul worried that the teleportation array would be unstable and send people to the unknown.

"Although it can teleport back and forth between the territory and the foothills of the Twilight Mountains, it can't be transmitted too far temporarily. I mean if the distance between the two places increases, we can't do anything. This is the problem of incomplete magic circle cracking, but we are already in Step up research."

"What's so sorry about this? The big devil decided to give a sweet kiss to reward my family's golden shiitake mushrooms. Thank you and thank you for your support for the work in the territory." Saul was relieved to hear that it was just the distance. The shiitake mushrooms hugged into his arms.

After returning to the bedroom, Sol did not rush to the courtyard immediately, but instantly transformed into a bat group, went straight to the laneway where Sinel had previously fought, picked up the space ring he had fallen on the ground, and then turned back to the mansion. , Immediately rushed to the courtyard on the side of the mansion.

As soon as they entered the gate of the mansion, the guard captain of this squad tonight immediately stepped forward to apologize to Saul. After all, an assassin appeared in the lord's mansion and injured a certain lady. This is their responsibility. Saul didn't blame the captain of the guards, but relieved the opponent a few words.

The assassination plan of Tier 7 Qianel may be a bit rough, but just about sneaking in, it is certainly not something that a few Tier 3 guards can detect. Strictly explaining the assassination of the captain of the guard tonight, so that the assassination was strictly prevented, and Saul walked to the shiitake mushrooms he missed.

The pursuit of the assassin did not last long. From Thor, he crossed the wall and fought fiercely in the lanes. Finally, Sinel was locked in the ring and communicated with her. It seemed that there were many things, but in fact, it only took four. It doesn't look like an hourglass.

When I came to the courtyard of the mansion on the side, my five and a half shiitake mushrooms were all there. It's just that... Petty lay silently on her back in Beth's arms, while the surrounding shiitake mushrooms were red and wiping tears. Seeing Saul's look, they quickly turned their heads away.

Feeling the sad atmosphere in the courtyard at this moment, Thor suddenly felt cold, and at the same time he subconsciously appeared a little suspicious.

After all, if Petty is really bad, her father Braun, the old goblin must have arrived with the whole family. But why didn't the old goblin come? Is it because I just received the news and is still on the way? Saul subconsciously turned his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard of the mansion.

"Ah...cough..." Petty in Beth's arms suddenly let out a faint cough, seeming to wake up briefly. Then, as if there was something to explain, Beth holding her hurriedly lowered her head, and leaned close to Petty's mouth and listened carefully for a moment.

"Come here, Sister Petty has something to say to you at the end." Beth suddenly looked up at Saul in tears.
