"The Marquis is back." With the shout from the housekeeper of the Elber family mansion, the thick front door was slowly pushed open, and a man about 60 years old strode in surrounded by more than a hundred people. The man's hair is slightly gray, and his forehead has left the indelible traces of time. However, he is energetic and has a light step. There is no sign of aging at all.
"Father." Maher, Elber had been standing at the door for a long time. When he saw his father coming back, he immediately bent down and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
This man, the father of the three Maher brothers, Julius and Elber, nodded towards his second son. He looked around, but did not see his eldest son and third son. So he asked, "Where are Mayne and Klaus?"
"This..." Maher hesitated, walked up to his father in a few steps, and whispered: "Brother, he, he..."
"There is something that cannot be said." Julius said displeasedly: "Everyone present is my confidant, there is nothing that cannot be said." Julius's words made everyone around him Everyone puffed up their chests. Obviously, for them, there is no more important reward than being trusted by their master.
Maher was helpless. He knew that his eldest brother's defeat would reach his father's ears sooner or later. It was better to tell him now, so he said: "Today, my eldest brother had a life-and-death battle with others..."
"Oh, who is Mayne challenging again? Isn't it over yet?"
"No, father, big brother, he lost."
"Well, Mayne actually lost. Hasn't he already reached the top of a senior magician? There is no magician in Moon Moon City who can stand up to him, unless he jumps over the level to challenge those magister-level figures."
"Yes, they are a team from the Imperial Capital Magic Academy."
"Imperial Capital Academy of Magic." When Julius heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at one of his subordinates with questioning eyes, and the man immediately said: "Sir, there are five magic exchange students from the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic who came to Moon City. The students are all at the level of junior magicians, and it is impossible for the eldest son to lose to them. However, recently, Faras, the daughter of Luke, the actual ruler of the imperial capital, came to the south with a small team. They arrived not long ago. They entered the Free Heaven, and the Free Heaven soon declared neutrality. From what the Second Young Master said, it was probably them who did it."
"Intensify surveillance on them immediately, but do not act rashly." Julius said, "Oh, by the way, are they very strong? What is their purpose in coming to Moon City?"
"Sir, my subordinates have compiled a copy of the information about Faras and her teammates in your study. However, since you have been..."
Julius nodded. He had not been in Moon Moon City in recent days because of important matters, so he might have been a little slow to learn some information. This is not his fault. According to his decision According to the rules, only national events such as this are eligible to use the fast track, and they should be delivered to him as soon as possible at all costs.
"How is Mayne now? Is he seriously injured? Take me to see him."
"Okay, father, please come to me."
When Julius arrived at the residence of his eldest son Mayne with eight personal guards, he saw Pastor Manyia walking out of the eldest son's room. He immediately greeted: "It's Manya. Why, are you here to treat Mayne? How is his injury?"
Wearing a snow-white priest's robe, Manyia is about 30 years old. Although she is wearing a wide robe, it cannot hide her slender figure. As a clergyman, Manyia's face has always been serious, but When she saw Julius walking towards her, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her deliberately stern face. The charm of a mature woman was undoubtedly revealed in this smile,
When Julius came to her side, she said: "Actually, it's just a little flesh wound. However, since Mayne has never suffered any setbacks before, this failure has a great impact on his spirit. He is disheartened now, which may affect his future growth... "
"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay." Julius rubbed his hands repeatedly and said, "This little guy is almost 30, and if you don't let me worry about it, isn't it just a loss of a game? If we El The Bo family was in ruins because of something like this, and I'm afraid it would have been wiped out 200 years ago."
"If there's nothing else, I, I'll leave first."
"I'll give it to you." Julius suddenly showed a gentle look on his face. He gently held Manyia's hand, and the latter's body suddenly stiffened. Maher saw his father With such an action, he immediately turned around and looked outside. However, Julius's eight personal guards turned a blind eye to the master's actions. They still looked around vigilantly. Two of them even stared at him with their eyes. Priest Manya, to prevent any accidents from happening,
Julius also knew that now was not a good opportunity to fall in love. He just held Manyia's hand for a while and then gently let go. Manyia's face was very complicated, with a mix of relief and relief. There was also an expression of unwillingness and resentment. Of course, Julius could not see these, because he only saw Manyia’s leaving back.
"Mahir."
"Ah, father, I'm here." Maher heard his father calling him and immediately turned around.
"Go, drag Mayne out and take him to my study." Julius pointed at Mayne's room and said: "And Klaus, don't cause trouble for me all day long, come here." Come to the study."
"this… "
"Why, you didn't even listen to what I said?"
"Don't dare, father, I'll go right away." Maher was startled and quickly walked into Mayne's room.
Klaus turned around silently and watched his second brother walk in, then turned around and focused his eyes on his eldest brother Mayne who was sitting on the ground. Maher didn't care to say anything to them and just walked away quickly. When he got in front of his eldest brother, he dragged him up, then grabbed Klaus's arm and dragged them out.
Mayne remained silent and allowed Maher to do whatever he wanted, while Klaus whispered: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Maher glared at him hard and said: "Shut up, this is my father's order. Come with me quickly. My father wants to see the three of us in the study."
When he heard that this was his father's order, Klaus suddenly felt guilty, because the whole thing happened because he went to the imperial capital to see Faras. If his father pursued it, he would probably be punished, but Klaus didn't. They didn't dare to disobey their father's orders. The three brothers lost their mother when they were young. For them, their father was the top of their heads. In this way, Klaus, with an uneasy mood, fought with his second brother Maher. Following my eldest brother Mayne, I came to my father’s study.
