Evil will not deceive you

Such pure holy light energy.

Seeing the holy light that filled Li Ke's body, Jaina couldn't help but praise him in her heart, but her mind immediately focused on the lord.

But the moment she saw the lord, she couldn't help but frown.

It was not because of anything else, but she was very sure that she had broken the curse for the other party before, and now, there was still no breath of curse on the other party.

There was no aura of shadow energy, no aura of evil energy, and no unusual magical energy.

Then, she thought of the fluctuations in the teleportation spell she had noticed before.

"Have you ever met a mage?"

Jaina asked tentatively. She usually wouldn't ask more questions about this kind of thing. After all, it is normal for the nobles below to help the mage do some things. Although she was invited here to deal with issues in the territory, and she also dealt with evil energy issues, but...

The bishop invited them here, and the bishop was the mastermind behind it, so normally, she would have to leave now.

If it weren't for the fact that Arthas wanted to take his knights to hunt and exercise nearby and get used to military life first, she should be in Dalaran now, not here.

Therefore, she could not ask more questions based on legal principles and rules.

"Yes, but I'm sure... that mage has nothing to do with this."

Li Ke didn't speak, and the lord answered Jaina weakly.

"That's offensive."

Jaina nodded, and after apologizing, she raised her hands. Suddenly, rays of light appeared on the lord's body, and Jaina's expression became more and more serious.

However, after Jaina cast several spells, she still frowned.

The lord's appearance was obviously caused by some curses, spells, or illusions, because she did not feel any undead breath when she came. Apart from the magnificent and righteous holy light left by Li Ke, the lord's body Nothing is left.

There are no clues.

"Sorry, Mr. Jon, I really didn't find anything wrong... If you don't mind, I want to check with other mages to see if anyone is casting psychic spells here."

Jaina asked politely, and the lord waved his hand after hesitating for a while.

"No trouble, Miss Gianna. Maybe I'm too sad. Thank you for making this trip specifically for me."

The old lord rubbed his forehead. He was indeed sad. His favorite son, who had the greatest expectations, died. It was impossible for him not to be sad.

He was just holding on for the sake of the family's inheritance during this period.

He turned his head and glanced at the silent Li Ke, feeling the magnificent aura of holy light that Li Ke left beside him, and couldn't help but sigh.

He had fought with the Paladins before, and he knew the Holy Light quite well. He had also been rescued from the brink of death by the Holy Light many times.

However, there has never been anything as holy and great as the Holy Light possessed by Li Ke.

That is simply not the holy light that mortals can possess.

"Okay, but as long as I'm here, as long as you have any needs, I will definitely help. In addition, I am not actually proficient in this area of ​​magic. If you know a psychic here, , maybe you can ask them for help.”

Jaina was a little helpless, but there was nothing she could do. She found nothing.

The old lord nodded indifferently, but his intention to see off the guests was very obvious.

"I'm deeply grateful for your help."

"No need to thank you, this is what I should do."

Jaina nodded helplessly, and then left under the reception of the housekeeper.

After all, she was not from the Jon family, so she had no right to say anything more. If Alsace were here, she might be able to do more things, but obviously, that's still not possible now.

This is another kind of rule that makes this enthusiastic girl helpless.

Watching Jaina leave, the old lord sighed. He also wanted to ask Jaina to help search, but there were too many secret things in his manor.

And he has seen those psychics, those who deal with the dead, who often have problems with their psychic spells, and sometimes they can channel other people who died here.

Even if you want to find a psychic, you definitely can't find it while Her Royal Highness Jaina is still here.

so……

Is my life going to end here?

The old lord had a feeling that he was once again at a crossroads that would determine his life. Whether he would die and what would happen to his family all depended on his current choices.

In his past life, he had felt like this more than once, and he had always made the right choices.

But this time, he believed that he would still not make the wrong choice.

"Li Ke."

He turned to look at the man who he expected to become his son's most trusted paladin.

"Have you ever resented me? Resented me for forcing you to stay here?"

Li Ke was stunned by his question. He was silent for a moment, and then answered the old lord with a subtle attitude.

"No, I have never resented you. In fact, you are the best person to me in this world, and I respect you from the bottom of my heart."

There was no lie in his words. The lord really valued him very much. He had a noble status, a beautiful woman, and a business to live in. He even gave himself a chance to use his talents in another world.

By the standards of this world, it makes no difference to say that you are recreating your parents.

But he insisted on staying here until his son was ready to take over the family property and wanted to make himself the guardian of their family and a family dog.

If in that peaceful world, someone of similar status wanted him to do this, maybe he would be very happy.

But unfortunately, this requires a prerequisite.

The environment they are in is a relatively safe place.

It doesn't exist here, and no one would believe it if he said it.

Because it's ridiculous.

The lord will not give up his own inheritance, his family's inheritance, and listen to his own so-called 'prophecy'.

Li Ke indeed respected him very much. The lord was a very qualified nobleman and lord no matter where he looked. At least in the territory he managed, no one said anything wrong with him, and most people were able to have enough food and clothing. warm.

And although he seems cold, he is actually humane enough in this situation.

The lord was stunned for a moment. His extraordinary experience told him that Li Ke was serious.

His cloudy eyes moved, and he muttered a few words that Li Ke couldn't hear, and took a deep breath.

At this moment, he seemed to see something.

So he lowered his head and looked at Li Ke.

"Then help Jennifer take charge of this family... With her help, you will show your value well, and then move to a higher place..."

When the lord said this, he felt like a deflated ball, looking a little decadent and helpless.

"...Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Go and spend some time with my daughter... Li Ke, she will be a good woman and a good head of the family."

Li Ke stood up obediently, walked to the door, and walked to Jennifer's room.

But just as he was about to leave, the lord suddenly spoke.

"Help her pass on the Jon family legacy, okay?"

Li Ke turned his head, looked at the panting lord, who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and nodded.

"In the name of Holy Light..."

He slowly closed the door, and his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness and disappeared from the lord's eyes, but his answer was still clear.

"……I will."
