Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 111 Pandora Seeks Medicine (2)

After entering the castle, the door behind her slowly closed with a bang, which scared Pandora. She found that since coming here, she had become more and more timid, or perhaps this place was too scary for her to remain calm.

When they came to a spacious conference hall, Charles picked up a small hammer hanging on the wall and knocked on the small clock on the wall. Not long after, one of the wooden doors on the wall creaked, and an old man wearing golden glasses walked out. A strong breath of earth magic came over him. The old man bowed slightly to Charles, and was slightly stunned when he saw Pandora, but still said to Charles: "Is there something urgent that brought you here, Chief?"

Charles looked at the old man. He knew that this was an earth magician who was even more powerful than him. It was said that he had single-handedly fought against the beast tide and successfully protected his hometown of Devon. Later, he was recruited by the old patriarch to the Feiyan family and became the steward of the elders' residence. His name was Harwint.

Although he was honored as the clan leader, Charles did not dare to be arrogant. After all, the other party was already a strong man back then. He smiled and said, "It is indeed urgent, and it is related to my daughter. Please inform me. I want to convene a family council. Some matters need to be decided by the elders."

There was a flash of surprise in Harwin's eyes. He knew that decisions that required the resolution of the elders were usually more important, so he did not dare to delay. He bowed again and walked to the end of the hall. There was no light there, but Harwin was familiar with the way and did not seem to encounter any obstacles. He soon disappeared from Pandora's sight.

Charles turned back to Pandora with pity and said, "Don't worry, this matter is a bit complicated and may require some price. I hope you will think about it carefully again. Is it really worth it for him to do this?"

Pandora's sight seemed to penetrate the thick stone wall, looking at Xingluo who was still lying on the bed, and then a smile blossomed, like a beautiful flower, dispelling a lot of the depression and dullness here, "I have already made a decision, no matter what the cost, even my life!"

When Charles heard Pandora say this, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly. He was even a little jealous. His most beloved daughter, the flesh and blood, the treasure in the palm of his hand, was actually going to give her life for another man. He was very curious about what charm this guy named Xingluo had that could make his daughter, who usually looked down on others, look at him with new eyes.

The corners of Charles' mouth twitched a little. When he was about to say something, the surrounding lights suddenly lit up, as if it were daytime. Pandora covered her eyes with her right arm. After she adjusted, she saw that several gray-haired old men had walked to the conference table and sat down one after another. Sitting in the middle was a seemingly ordinary old man, and there were several empty seats next to him. "Maybe he is traveling outside." Charles thought secretly.

You should know that these elders have already reached a bottleneck, so some choose to take up important positions in the clan, those who are interested in practicing come here to continue their practice, and others are elders who come here to find rare treasures to break through the bottleneck. Of course, these treasures are all in some ancient ruins, and they are not something that ordinary family members can obtain, otherwise they don’t have to go there in person. Even as powerful as they are, there is a risk of falling.

In recent years, there have always been some strong people in the family who were trapped in the ruins, or died there. The family is no longer surprised. To make further progress in cultivation, one has to take risks. If one chooses stability, it would be fine to be trapped in one realm for a lifetime. However, people in large families have grown up competing with each other since childhood.

When these old men sat down and turned their eyes to Pandora, she suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but soon they smiled kindly at her. Pandora felt relieved and stuck out her tongue cutely.

Charles bowed to the elders, then took Pandora to sit down and gently introduced to Pandora that the kind-looking old man opposite him was the chief elder, and the butler named Harwint was standing behind the chief elder. The chief elder glanced at Charles and said, "Charles, is there anything that requires the decision of the elders to be activated?"

Charles knew that the Great Elder liked to be straightforward, so he did not beat around the bush and said, "Dear elders, Charles has never asked anyone for anything in his life. This time I came to the Elders Council to ask for something. After I leave office, I am willing to become a Feiyan secret guard and protect the Feiyan family forever."

Charles was much quieter than usual along the way. He had been struggling with this matter until he heard what Pandora said just now. Then he made a decision. No one knew Pandora better than him. He looked at Pandora's eyes at that time, which was an expression of willingness to make any sacrifice for others. As a father, this is all he can do. He hopes to see clearly whether Xingluo is worthy of his daughter doing so much for him during his tenure. If he finds that this kid dares to bully Pandora, he will make him pay the price even if the other party is a genius.

From childhood to adulthood, he loved his daughter the most. He was afraid that she would melt if he put her in his mouth, so he always held her in his hands. However, due to family affairs, he did not have much time to accompany his daughter, so he would try his best to satisfy her materially. Although sometimes his daughter wanted company more, for the sake of her future, a woman could have a certain degree of freedom in this chaotic world, even the right to choose the person she loved. Otherwise, her future could only be sacrificed for the family's interests, so that the women of the family could marry other families and make the family go further. This was the fate of women from big families and wealthy families. He could not let his daughter become such a victim. Even though he was the current patriarch of the family, he had selfish motives. So he had been running around for Pandora all these years, using his status as the patriarch of the family to speed up Pandora's promotion. It was really a small right of a patriarch. His realm had stagnated all these years, all for Pandora. He gave all the good things to his daughter, and did not take a penny for himself.

In this continent, the strong are respected. Only by becoming strong can one not dare to be controlled by others. Therefore, he used all of himself to madly enhance Pandora's strength. That's why Pandora, who was not a magician at the beginning, had the strength comparable to that of an intermediate magician, and even had Xiaohong, a powerful contracted beast. He did everything he could, and this time was no exception. He was willing to sacrifice everything for his daughter, even his soul after death. He only had this one daughter, so what did it matter how much he did for her.
