Wizard of All Souls

Will was wearing a gold-encrusted black dress, long leggings, and shiny black leather boots on his feet. His hair was combed black and shiny, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked extremely energetic.

Will put his arms around the maid Trish, gave a satisfied kiss, and walked out of the room.

Outside the door is a narrow staircase spiraling downwards.

Early in the morning, the whole castle was busy.

Cleaning, running, commanding, every servant and guard perform their duties.

When Will walks by.

The servants would stop what they were doing and bow to Will, who would sometimes nod.

At this time, a short white figure rushed from a distance and crashed into Will's arms.

Ouch!

The little girl cried out in surprise.

Emma, ​​how many times have I told you? Don't run around in the castle! Will scolded the young girl in his arms in a low voice.

The young girl was wearing a white pleated lace dress and moccasin boots on both feet. She had a delicate face and her waist-length curly long hair was scattered behind her in a mess. She looked like a carefree little princess.

Know it--

Emma replied crisply, then broke free from Will's arms, and ran around the castle again, laughing loudly like bells as she ran.

This girl. Will shook his head helplessly.

Emma is Will's own sister, only ten years old.

Emma is similar to Will, who is loved and loved by thousands of people.

So since he was a child, he didn't know what hard work is, and what worry is. Just seeing Emma's heartless smile every day, Will felt that his whole body was healed.

In Will's heart, only Emma and his mother who passed away two years ago are his relatives in the whole world.

Whether Baron Leo or the other brothers, they are all just people of similar blood.

After separating from Emma, ​​Will came to the study on the second floor of Albert Castle.

Outside the study, two soldiers in full armor stood guard at the door.

The armor of the two soldiers was mottled, with sword marks, and the scabbard had traces of dried blood.

Obviously, as the personal bodyguards of Baron Leo, both of them are experienced fighters.

Noticing Will's arrival, the two guards, who had grim faces one second, immediately showed flattering smiles the next second.

Regarding the heir to the title, the most beloved son of Baron Leo, and their future master, the two guards still knew what to do when facing Will.

Master Will, do you need us to inform you?

Entering the study early in the morning, two personal guards were also waiting at the door.

It is not difficult to guess that Baron Leo is discussing an extremely urgent and important matter with Knight Grote.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Will breaks in without notifying him, Baron Leo will never blame him.

But Will didn't want to appear like a dandy who didn't know how to be polite in front of others, especially in front of Knight Grote, an important subordinate in the future.

Possesses the strength of a knight and can be reused no matter where.

Will is still very concerned about the knights under his father, Baron Leo, who may become his capable men in the future.

After getting Baron Leo's answer, Will pushed open the heavy iron door of the study and walked in.

In the huge study room, there is only one and three bookshelves, and hundreds of books are scattered on the bookshelves.

In this world, books are extremely expensive.

The accumulation of the Albert family for hundreds of years is nothing more than a hundred books.

Beside the large window in the study, there is a long wooden table.

At the head of the wooden table, a tall man sat upright.

The man was wearing a tight-fitting aristocratic uniform, his muscles were knotted under the clothes, his eyes were fierce, and he was calm and majestic. This man was Will's father, Baron Leo.

Next to the main seat is a man with a dark face, which is the Grote knight.

My lord, the Evelyn family is going too far. According to the agreement, the iron mine on the east side of Dalu Island should belong to us. It's not enough for them to occupy the west side, yet they dare to pay attention to our east side. Grote Knight's voice was high and cold.

How's the situation? Baron Leo said expressionlessly.

Ten days ago, three of our brothers were injured. Nuosha was shot by a poisoned arrow in one of her thighs, and she will not be able to walk for the rest of her life. Knight Grote said angrily.

Is this the work of wandering robbers?

Tsk tsk, we all know what's going on, that bastard Becky Evelyn, don't think that I can't recognize him if he covers his face! Knight Grote's face became more and more gloomy.

The Evelyn family and the Albert family are adjacent to each other, and both of them are barons.

In the past, the Albert family was often bullied by the Evelyn family, but after the rise of Baron Leo, everything changed.

In terms of strength on paper, the number of knights is about the same.

But the head of the Albert family is Baron Leo!

Although they are both knights, the strength of Baron Leo is not comparable to that of ordinary knights.

The Evelyn family? It seems that we should show them some color. Baron Leo snorted coldly, the anger in his eyes slowly burning.

Then what shall we do? Grote Knight smiled cruelly.

Get ready and leave in three days.

Yes! Knight Grote excitedly said.

After speaking, Knight Grote got up and exited the study.

Grote and Will pass each other.

But until Grote walked out of the study, he didn't look Will in the eye.

Will couldn't help feeling angry.

For a long time, Will has always treated the several knights of the family with extra courtesy.

But except for Neeson, the captain of the guards who was stationed in the castle, the other three knights never looked Will in the eye, and when they had to, they just nodded, and they didn't even want to call Master Will.

Strength, I need stronger power.

For the thoughts in his heart, Will became more determined.

Will, what do you want from me? When facing Will, Baron Leo smiled rarely.

Baron Leo joined the army when he was young, experienced the battle of the kingdom, made great achievements, gained a great reputation, and even got the knight badge awarded by the kingdom.

After retiring and returning to inherit the title, Baron Leo swept away the previous decline of the Albert family and led the Albert family to triumphantly.

The four knights in the territory are all recruited by Baron Leo.

For those knights, Baron Leo was probably the only one who could catch their eyes in the territory.

When Will will become a baron one day, whether those people are willing to stay or not is still a matter of opinion.

After Will sat down, he immediately expressed his thoughts to Baron Leo.

Father, I feel that my strength has reached the bottleneck, and there is no point in continuing to practice, so I want to go out to exercise with my father. This time the battle between Dalu Island and the Evelyn family, take me with you. Will The tone is sincere and firm.

Will believed that Baron Leo would definitely agree.

no!

Contrary to Will's expectations, Baron Leo actually refused.

Will's face darkened suddenly.

Why? Will asked: Other members of the family will participate in hunting and exorcising beasts at the age of twelve, and form a small team to patrol the territory at the age of fifteen. I am fifteen years old this year, and my strength has reached the peak of the reserve knight. I think I should fight and temper myself.

Will's cold questioning tone made Baron Leo's face suddenly ugly.

It's been too long since anyone dared to talk to him like that.

But when he thought that the other party was Will, most of the anger in Baron Leo's heart disappeared at once.

Will, my son, you are the future head of the Albert family and the only heir to the title. The most important thing you should do is to protect yourself and fight, wait until you become a quasi-knight. Baron Leo said in a tone There is a trace of helplessness in it.

Why doesn't Baron Leo feel that what Will said makes sense?

Back then, when he was Will's age, his hands were already stained with blood, and he had wandered between life and death several times.

But, Will can't.

Baron Leo would never allow Will to be in any dangerous place.

In fact, the former Baron Leo was not like this.

Until, Will's eldest brother who dreamed of becoming an adventurer disappeared forever, and there was no news for ten years.

Until, Will's second brother, who aspired to be like Baron Leo, died in the army.

Until, Will's mother, Baron Leo's favorite person in his life, died of depression because of the severe blow caused by the death of her two sons.

Then, the Baron changed.

The baron's calloused right hand gently covered Will's head, and Baron Leo's eyes were full of doting and guilt for Will.

Will, your mother must also want you to live well. Speaking of Will's mother, Baron Leo's eyes flashed with pain.

Knowing that Baron Leo had made up his mind, Will had no choice but to leave.

Looking at the lonely back of Will going away, Baron Leo sighed: Delia, did I do something wrong? Bell, Lean and you left me one by one. Now, I only have Will , I can't lose him again... and Emma.

Walking out of the study, Will took a deep breath.

Will wasn't about to give up.

Nikon's transcendence and Grote's knight's contempt made Will's innermost desire for power stronger than ever.

Baron Leo doesn't allow it, can't I go quietly?

Baron Leo will leave the castle for a period of time in two days.

Will took this opportunity to sneak out for some exercise.

Based on Will's status and Baron Leo's love, even if Baron Leo found out afterwards and got angry, he would not do anything to Will.

Before that, I can't let my body rust.

More important than strength is life.

When Will went out this time, he didn't want to experience life and death, and definitely didn't want to break through between life and death. He just wanted to increase his combat experience and be in an intense and exciting combat environment.

The ancients said it well, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. I must not be slack in the slightest. Will moved his body, Because I have been thinking about how to break through, I haven't been exercising well these days. , the body is almost rusted.

After going back to his room and changing into a looser exercise suit, Will came to the open space, ready for morning exercises.
