NOVEL NEXT Chapter 170: Chapter 170
He paused for a moment, and the lord's demeanor returned to him again. He spoke like a almsgiver, as if the person standing next to him was not his grandson, but just a passing adventurer.
"Keep struggling, there's always plenty of time."
"Think about it carefully, take a good look at what Boreas's iron heart is. After all, you are still young and can afford to waste time."
"Go ahead. I'm tired."
"When you have figured it out, come find me here and I will arrange for someone to send you back to the capital."
"That's your stage."
Sauros didn't look tired at all, but he ordered them to leave. But after waiting for a while, he found that there was no sound of footsteps.
Alan still stood beside him.
He frowned and looked at Alan.
The cold wind blew in from the window.
Unlike the boy's expression of reluctance that he had imagined,
Alan actually raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his face, and stared straight at the "orb" outside the window.
Then he spoke.
"Boreas's iron heart is nothing more than a breath of ambition, but your ambition is high enough. If you climb high, you can see far, and you can look at the past and the future calmly."
"Unfortunately, I don't like to stand too high. It makes me feel uneasy. I like to solve the urgent problems first, and then look to the future."
"As for the past?"
"I don't have a 'past'."
Sauros narrowed his eyes when he heard this, his expression gradually becoming unhappy, and Alan's leisurely voice continued to float into his ears.
"So I, who am currently just standing on the ground, would like to ask you a question."
"Since you have taken a high-level view and focused on the entire Boreas's spirit, it is considered Boreas's iron will."
"So."
"Being down-to-earth, simple, direct, and paying attention to the details, can this be considered Boreas's iron heart?"
It had been a long time since Sauros had been argued with in this way. He looked at Alan twice, turned his head to look out the window, and sneered.
"Just tell me if you have something to say. Don't keep me in suspense. You have the same bad habit as Philip."
Alan smiled as he heard this, as if he had thought of something pleasant, and almost smiled slightly, which really made him look like Philip.
He glanced sideways at Sauros.
"I want to ask you something."
"Repaying kindness with kindness, and repaying evil with justice, does that count as a 'heart of iron'?"
Sauros narrowed his eyes.
"Of course."
But halfway through his words, he was stunned and immediately turned to look at Alan, staring at him.
But Alan just looked at the magic ball of the big transfer space-time rift hanging in the air outside the window.
No longer meet his eyes.
He restrained his smile and spoke in a very calm tone.
"Whether I have what you call Boreas' 'heart of iron', I don't know."
"But there is one thing I know very well."
Alan stretched out his hand, pointed his finger at the big transferred 'magic ball' in the air, then moved his arm horizontally and pulled his finger to the west of the sky.
That is the direction of the royal capital.
The unfinished words fell.
There is absolutely no sign of "weakness".
Generous portion.
With a strong smell of blood.
"I think you may be overthinking it. I don't need any permission from you, nor do I need you to break the so-called tradition of Boreas, Lord Sauros."
"I just need my hands."
"Hold my knife."
"Just a gentle wave."
"Kill James."
"Then all problems will no longer be problems."
As soon as the words were spoken, the tower fell into deathly silence.
Sauros stared at Alan.
"He is your father."
"I don't have a father. I'm just an adventurer. Where would I get a father?"
"Reckless! Stupid! Don't even mention you are a saint. Even if you are a king, you killed the minister in Asura's capital. Can you survive?"
Alan seemed to have heard something funny. He smiled again and spoke very quickly.
"You can think so, because you are in this position. If I say that if I kill him, not only will I not die, but I will live a more comfortable life, you will definitely not believe it."
"So you can continue to think so, but"
Alan tilted his head and looked directly into Sauros' eyes.
Each word is pronounced with emphasis.
"With all those Beishenliu trash raised in the Boreas Mansion in the capital, I wouldn't need to strike even one more blow at the same person even if I killed my way through the entire mansion."
The two looked at each other.
In Allen's eyes, Sauros's expression was clearly visible.
He is not angry.
Just looking at Alan quietly, studying him, examining him.
It was like getting to know Alan all over again.
After a long time, Sauros finally spoke again.
In a calm tone.
It was completely different from his usual tone of voice which emphasized aristocratic demeanor.
With the same 'warrior style' as Allen.
Rough, simple and direct.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare."
Alan narrowed his eyes and smiled at Sauros.
"You are tired, I will leave now."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Shao Luos, turned around and walked behind him.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
The moment the figure passed through the door of the high tower.
Sauros' voice came from behind.
Very peaceful.
even
A little too calm.
"Hilda has been in poor health lately."
Alan stopped walking but did not turn around.
Sauros's voice continued to penetrate his ears.
"You can see her more in private."
"I'll give you three years to spend more time with Hilda and Alice after this."
"Go back to the capital safely."
"That's where you should go."
Alan's lips curled up into a smile and he took a step out of the doorway.
"The royal capital?"
"Of course I will go back."
"It won't take three years."

194. Chapter 191 The 10th Birthday Party is Tomorrow
194.
The tower's hanging ladder has 1,730 steps.
Alan took 1,730 steps.
Step down the spiral staircase and walk across the platform.
Bow your head.
In front of me, there are 132 wooden steps.
He stopped and looked at the wooden ladder quietly for a while.
Just about to step down.
Faint "notes" fell along the walls of the tower again.
Still happy.
But the meaning is completely different from what it just said.
Alan raised his head and looked upward.
'Heart of Iron' was still looking at him.
But it was clearly imprinted in Alan's pupils.
No longer far away.
In Sauros's opinion, the sound that Allen could not possibly have captured was.
A hearty laugh.
In addition to the Iron Heart, there is another figure standing under the Boreas family crest.
It's Sauros.
He stood on the top of the tower, reaching out his hand to gently wipe the slightly dusty family emblem.
Why did they choose the three "particularly outstanding" sons mentioned by Philip in the original book to compete for the position of the next head of the family?
Why didn't Shao Luosi, a traditional patriarch with a strong military style and the temperament of a man who has the final say, directly appoint the best person, but instead engage in "fair competition" like a civil official?
It's simple, because he is dissatisfied with all three of them.
But there has to be one outstanding one among the short ones, so they have to be thrown into the royal capital to compete freely in the big melting pot. The one who "survives" will be the most "suitable" candidate.
