"Barton, do you know what you're talking about?"

Hearing the man's words, the old man's tone suddenly became cold and hard.

The man said without any concession: "You have said before that Wadenburg is mine now, and you shouldn't come out to point fingers. I respect you very much, but I think it's necessary for you to recognize the current situation. We are not opponents of the Flower Scorpion Society at all!"

"Are you ready to sacrifice your sister and her children for this?" the old man asked coldly.

Patton snorted: "My sister? When she and that damn Jack elope to our rival, the Scorpion Society, did you order her to be expelled forever? Wadenburg was still in his prime at that time, and now, ten years later, today, she is back, and you actually offended the Scorpion Society for her sake! What's more, it's because of that man's child."

"Sir, Father! I beg you to go out and take a look, and don't give orders in the study all day." Patton's tone slowed down a little, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction:

"The golden lions are now extremely weak. We have no capital to compete with them!"

After he said this, he stood there and looked at the old man steadily.

The old man was silent, and even the action of knocking his index finger on the tabletop stopped.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice:

"You go out first."

There was a strong look of disappointment in Patton's eyes. He walked out angrily, and when he left the study, he threw the door heavily.

A trace of helplessness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he sat there quietly. Suddenly whispered: "Is it a surprise?"

On the other side of the study, Monica walked out with a miserable expression on her face. She looked full of pain and said in disbelief:

"I don't know, the changes here have become so huge."

The changes she mentioned were two aspects. On the one hand, it was the weakness of the Golden Lion. There was no second-level wizard in the entire organization to compete with the Flower Scorpion Society; on the other hand, it was the change of people's hearts. The brother who was extremely kind in her memory, although the two broke up for Jack's matter, she never expected that he was going to send his child out to the Flower Scorpion Society.

At this moment, her heart was filled with depression.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come back." Monica hugged the child in her arms tightly. After only a few days, the child obviously grew up a lot again. She almost couldn't hold her.

"You should come back. This is your home." The old man said lightly: "I was wrong at the beginning, and the expulsion order was cancelled by me five years ago."

Hearing this, Monica looked up at her father in disbelief.

This stubborn and proud old man actually began to admit his mistake to himself? This is almost impossible!

Any wizard in Kurosawa knows that the young Golden Lion is a genius, but also a stubborn guy. He never bows to anyone. His temper is as strong as his magic power, and he is the most proud wizard. Once a decision is made, no one can convince him.

And now, he actually apologized to his daughter for his decision that year, which seemed too shocking to Monica.

She stared at her father in a daze. The years left too many traces on him. He became much older than she remembered.

After the poison dragon invaded, she and Jack had returned once, but were driven out by the angry old man. Since then, she has never returned to Wadenburg. In her memory, her father has always been the proud and powerful wizard, with a cold face all day long, treating people harshly and rigidly, especially to her own children.

So when she disobeyed Laughren's order and eloped with Jack of the Flower Scorpion Society, Laughren was furious and threatened to break off the relationship between her and her father and daughter.

She never regretted her decision, after all, she loved Jack deeply. But when she was desperate, she suddenly realized that the only person who decided to shelter her was the old man who drove her out in front of everyone.

At that time, she deeply realized that in this world, this stubborn old man is the man who loves her the deepest.

Her lips trembled slightly, and after a while, she said tremblingly: "Father..."

The old man showed a happy smile, and the cloud between his eyebrows seemed to disappear in an instant.

He reached out his hand and said without a doubt: "Let me see him."

Monica handed the child over. The old man hugged the child clumsyly, looked at his eyes, revealing a look of thought.

"He will be a genius," Laughren sighed, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone take him away from you."

"It's like I'll never let anyone take you away from me again."

Monica hugged the child back in a daze, and watched the stubborn old man slowly stand up. He walked to the window and could see every corner of Wadenburg from this angle.

The wizards were in a hurry, some tried to leave, and some were joining.

He looked for a while before sighing, "Maybe Wadenburg is no longer prosperous as before."

"But the villains of the Flower Scorpion Society must have never expected that the golden lion... was still the golden lion of that year."

He raised his head slightly. Although his figure was much hunched, the sun shone in from outside the window, and rays of golden light ignited his temples.

He stood there, like a twilight lion, lazily combing his fur.

It looks extremely gentle, but its introverted murderous intent always reminds the maned dogs who intend to approach, and the still sharp minions hidden under the thick fluff.

...

"Henry, I have advised you not to ignore the warnings of the Flower Scorpion Society."

On the mountain road, a wizard shouted. The staff in his hand was raised high, and a little bit of ice began to condense.

After three or five seconds, an ice cone slowly took shape and poured out.

The ice cone hit the head of a bull monster, but only three of them were smashed into pieces, and the remaining one was still intact.

This bull monster is about two meters tall and is very bloated and huge. It is covered with hard skin as hard as a mountain wall. Only the head is the most fragile.

However, the number of bull monsters has many heads, often between three and five. It is not easy for them to destroy these bull monsters.

The multi-headed monster screamed and rushed towards the wizard who was casting the spell with great strides.

"Be careful, Rennes. Retreat." A white-robed wizard shouted immediately in the middle of the team.

The staff in his hand emitted a violent white light. This white light restrained most of the bull-headed monsters, making it impossible for these monsters to come forward to harm them. However, it is very unrealistic to just use this spell to eliminate the bull-headed monsters.

Renne complained loudly: "Henry, if you don't think of a solution, we can only retreat."

The white-robed wizard raised his staff and responded, "I'm thinking hard."

Rennes trotted all the way, and finally avoided the attack of the bull monster with his good flexibility and rushed all the way to Henry's white light barrier.

Soon, the remaining bull monsters immediately surrounded them, and the white light stimulated them not to dare to step forward, but they were not willing to retreat like this.

"It's not a solution to continue like this. Everyone should use their own spells to attack the vital points of the bull monster." Renne complained in the white light barrier.

"But once we leave Henry's barrier, we become very vulnerable. Our defensive spells are simply vulnerable to the power of the multi-headed monster."

A wizard in a floral dress reminded: "It would be great if we could cast spells in the barrier, we could attack the multi-headed monsters through the barrier."

"This is impossible." Henry shook his head and said, "My barrier is attached to the forbidden magic field, and no one can use spells here."

"Then we can only find a way to retreat." Huashang said helplessly.

The rest of the people were also depressed. Apart from Rennes and Henry, these people were only at the level of elementary apprentices. They were all wizards from Silver Light, who were friends on weekdays, and were attracted by the rewards of this mission, and made an appointment with each other to go to Wadenburg. But they didn't expect that before they even entered Wadenburg, they were warned by the Iron Wire Crow of the Flower Scorpion Society.

They ignored the crows' warnings, and as a result, this group of noisy guys attracted a group of bullhead monsters, which put them in trouble. These bullhead monsters are also monsters used by the Flower Scorpion Society. After years of improvement by the wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society, this new type of bullhead monster has been greatly strengthened and has become very high magic resistance. It is the natural enemy of the wizards.

Only by killing every head of the bull monster can these monsters be considered to be truly killed. They tried once and killed a bull monster, but in the process, they almost lost a wizard. This left the rest of the people no longer the courage to leave Henry's barrier. Rennes' attempt just now was also the last time.

The few people looked at each other and began to think about countermeasures to escape.

However, at this moment, Renn suddenly blurted out: "Hey, look, someone is coming again!"

Everyone looked closely and saw a young man wearing a casual outfit walking out of the forest with a bow and arrow on his back. The guy's hair was brown and he looked very young.

"Hey, run away quickly! These monsters are very dangerous!" Rennes shouted at the boy.

However, the boy stopped, looked at them, and walked towards them.

"Is this a mortal?" Huashang said in surprise: "Is it a hunter in the mountains?"

"It's probably because of the dressing." Henry also said anxiously: "He probably wants to save us."

"Save us? A mortal tried to save a group of wizards? This joke is a bit funny!?" Another junior apprentice couldn't help but say, "I guess he's just a greedy hunter, thinking there's something to take here."

At this moment, the two bull monsters noticed the arrival of the boy and immediately surrounded him.

"Damn it, dangerous!" Ren couldn't help but shout.

He stepped out of Henry's barrier in one step.

The boy raised the bow and arrow in his hand and pointed it at the bull monster walking towards him. (To be continued...)
