I Can Summon All the Gods

260 Chapter 260 Depriving of Rights

Looking at Wilder's angry face, Locke said, "Oh."

Hearing Locke's perfunctory words, Wilder was discouraged and didn't bother to explain. "Well, boy, I'll take a step back. You can enter the mage academy to study as a guest pupil. As for the tasks assigned by the academy, you decide whether to accept them or not."

Locke asked calmly, "What about the magic crystals?"

"Ten magic crystals a month."

Locke shook his head seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.

"Thirty magic crystals a month." Seeing that Locke still shook his head, Wilder gritted his teeth and said, "You greedy boy, just be satisfied. This already in the treatment of an ordinary teacher."

Sensing that Wilder was about to go berserk, Locke cleared his throat and nodded, "I'm willing to join the Imperial Mage Academy."

"You are well-advised, boy."

With a snort, he turned to Count Peter and said, "Mr. Peter, Irene, please say goodbye to each other. We are going to the imperial capital city tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he walked out of the hall as if he didn't want to take another look at Locke.

"Mr. Peter, we have something else to do, so we have to leave now."

Gergiel said to Count Peter. At this time, his momentum was decadent, not as leisurely and calm as before.

Doyle looked at Irene reluctantly, however, when he met Gergiel's warning eyes, he lowered his head slightly and didn't dare to say anything more.

After the people of the Imperial Mage Academy left, there were only the members of the Peter family and Locke left in the hall.

"Mr. Peter, I have to go now."

Locke smiled and said to the Peter couple.

"Father, mother, I have to go too." Seeing that Locke was about to leave, Irene didn't want to stay any longer and said to the Peter couple.

"Go on." Knowing that Irene wanted to stay with Locke, Mrs. Peter nodded and said with a smile.

As soon as Irene and Locke left, the hall fell into silence again.

"Sir Count, it's our fault."

Perls looked very upset and said, "But please believe that all we do is for the development of our family."

"Yes."

The other three elders echoed.

"I believe that you are loyal and devoted to our family," Count Peter sneered. Selling his daughter for wealth was for the development of the family? How dare these guys said that!

Seeing the smile on Count Peter's face, the elders couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.

"You have worked so hard for our family for so many years. Now it's time for you well in your retirement," Count Peter said indifferently.

These elders were all his uncles who had watched him grow up, so he had turned a blind eye to them all these years. He didn't expect that his indulgence to them almost killed his favorite daughter.

The elders trembled slightly. They all knew that Count Peter wanted to deprive them of their rights.

The rest of the old men all fixed their eyes on Perls. For so many years, they all followed Perls's lead.

Perls's face darkened, his fists clenched slightly, and his eyes were full of struggle.

The atmosphere in the hall calmed down again. Several elders behind Perls also secretly operated their magic elements.

They knew that as long as Perls shook his head, the Peter family would go through a great upheaval.

After an unspecified amount of time, Perls suddenly sighed and slowly loosened his fists.

Under the gaze of the crowd, he walked slowly toward the outside of the hall. When he reached the door of the hall, he paused for a moment. With his back to the crowd, he said in a hoarse voice, "From now on, it's up to you to decide on the Peter family."

Everyone could feel that the moment Perls finished his words, he seemed to be much older and stooped down.

After saying that, Perls walked out of the hall and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

The other old men also sighed, bowed to Count Peter, and left.

The day was lost. They knew that it was useless to say anything.

In just a moment, there were only the Peter couple two left in the hall.

Looking at the direction in which everyone left, Count Peter kept silent, thinking.

"Maybe this is the best ending for them." Looking at the empty hall, Mrs. Peter said.

Count Peter shook his head and held Mrs. Peter's hand. "I'm not feeling sorry for Perls and other elders, but sigh for Locke."

Mrs. Peter was a little stunned, but soon she understood what her husband meant. "Even the vice-dean of the Imperial Mage Academy tried to win over Locke. Now it seems that the identity of Locke is probably more terrifying than we imagined."

"Locke is a good boy, but I'm a little worried now. Is it a good choice for Irene and Locke to be together?" Count Peter sighed.

Even their insignificant count family had complicated power struggles. If Locke really came from a terrifying force, then the struggles would be unimaginably fierce.

After sighing for a while, Mrs. Peter smiled and said, "Forget it. Leave the rest to Irene to choose."

Time flew. It was already evening in the blink of an eye.

The golden light of the setting sun dyed the clouds in the sky red, and the soft light spread on the ground. The houses in the distance were arranged in order and golden. Outside the distant city, the spreading mountains that could have been faintly seen were covered with golden light, and the whole world was like a beautiful ink painting.

On the top of the tower, the boy and girl stood side by side. The breeze gently blew, raising the corners of the two people's clothes, everything seemed warm, quiet, and beautiful.

The two stood silently until the setting sun completely disappeared between the mountains.
