The main cause of this situation is that the Holy Alliance, which was once scattered, began to concentrate power after confirming Pu'ang as the new core.
And because of the war, Puang was at the forefront.
Other countries, large and small, sent a large number of middle and high-level magicians and soldiers to join the war.
Even more diplomatic envoys were set up in the imperial capital than before.
Frequent exchanges between various high-level forces made Backlund more prosperous.
Walking on the street, you can see people from other countries everywhere.
When Lorne brought the two Layton brothers back to the house, they stopped at the gate for a while.
"Duke Mansion!"
Lorne smiled slightly. It seems that the Pu'ang Empire did not treat his family badly!
He used to be an earl, but after decades, he has been promoted to a duke.
Among them was Lorne's influence, as well as Earl Lehman, no, now it is Duke Lehman, and his efforts were also involved.
Without alarming anyone, Lorne led the Layton brothers into the Duke's mansion quietly.
Walking in the familiar environment, Lorne saw many strange people.
But from the familiarity of blood, Lorne knew that many of these people were members of the Bauhinia family that had been scattered.
Now that the Bauhinia family has returned to its peak, Duke Lehman used his power to slowly gather these people back.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the mansion.
Lorne's consciousness swept away, and a smile could not help but appear on his face.
"Miss San is back!"
"It's Miss San!"
Lilia, who was dressed in military uniform, jumped off the horse neatly and went straight into the Earl's Palace.
Behind her, there are two great masters of the tenth level following her.
One of them is Lorne's soul slave, Irina.
The three walked and talked.
"Irina, thanks to your mercenary group joining my army, otherwise my defense line will be breached. This time when I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely ask my father to apply for a reward for you!"
Lilia smiled and said to Irina who was wearing red leather armor.
The once gorgeous and unparalleled adventurer, now has a more mature temperament, and the murderous aura on her body makes people completely ignore her gender.
Yi Lianna said respectfully: "This is all because of the proper command of Lilia, and it was you who charged forward in the last battle, which gave the subordinates the confidence to fight the enemy bravely."
Lilia smiled slightly, and took off her helmet, revealing her blonde hair.
"At home, you can call me Miss San!"
Yi Lianna was stunned, looking at the surrounding scenery with complicated emotions.
Lorne had given her money and supplies to set up a mercenary team.
It was supposed to be when she was useful in the future.
But after decades of waiting, her mercenary group changed from an unknown medium-sized mercenary group to the famous Dragon and Flower mercenary group, but Lorne did not call her for a long time.
Elena didn't want to wait any longer.
So after the Principality of Nier announced the establishment of the Fourth Legion to help the Pu'ang Empire resist the Odin Empire, she also moved around and began to fight guerrilla warfare.
Supporting war with war, her regiment members, although suffering heavy losses, are getting stronger and stronger.
Up to now, she and a deputy head of her team have both broken through to the tenth-level Grand Master realm.
Not long ago, I learned that Lorne's own sister, Lilia, had left customs and personally led the knights of the Bauhinia family to join the war.
Elena resolutely found the other party and joined Lilia's army.
"Master's strength is already far beyond mine, and maybe I don't need this dark child at all."
"But I have to play for him."
"Helping Miss Lilia is also a way."
"Back then, I could only sneak into the Earl's Mansion secretly, but now, I can enter the Duke's Mansion openly."
There were a lot of thoughts in her heart, and Yi Lianna's expression suddenly changed.
Her sight shifted little by little to the door of the hall of the Duke's Mansion.
The three men were looking at them quietly, and the leader was the same as before!
"host....."
"Second brother!!!"
In the eyes of outsiders, Lilia, who was calm and generous, suddenly let out a strange cry and rushed over.
Without any scruples, just like when I was young.
Lilia threw herself on Lorne and hugged him fiercely.
Lorne fondled her blond hair, "The little girl at the beginning has also become a big girl. Look, you have the physique of a master, I'm afraid you will smash the second brother to pieces!"
"Hmph, second brother, don't lie to me. You are the top powerhouse in the mainland who slaughters gods and dragons. I only have a few catties."
Lilia kept rubbing Lorne's chin like a kitten.
She suddenly said aggrieved: "Obviously I agreed to come to see me, but the second brother never came, you lied to me."
Lorne's face froze, a little embarrassed.
He did have these plans at the beginning, and was even ready to go.
But there were too many things, and later I became addicted to cultivation and tried to become a god, and these things gradually faded away.
It was not long ago that Shengguang Xuanao broke through to become a god, and after his mind relaxed, he realized that he should not neglect his family too much.
The lifespan of ordinary human beings is only a few decades.
Even if he has cultivated fighting qi and has sufficient nutrition, he is only in his early [-]s.
If he continues to practice, maybe the next time he leaves the customs, he will never see his immediate family again.
So, he's back!
In the hall behind him, Duke Lehman's old murmurs could be heard.
"Is Lilia back?"
"Tell her not to go to the war, if she has to go, it's best not to get hurt..."
Walking to the door, looking at the two brothers and sisters standing together, the old Duke Lehman couldn't help being stunned.
"Father!"
"Father, the second brother arrived before me!"
"Lorne is back too!"
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."
Duke Lehman wiped his eyes and turned his head.
"Come in quickly, I will let the servants prepare dinner and make your favorite food."
Lilia giggled, took Lorne's arm and walked inside.
Looking at his father's gradually bent back, Lorne's expression was complicated.
......
"The Duke fief of our Bauhinia family falls in Kansas City in the Western Province, and the relocation work will begin soon."
"There, it is the only place in the empire that has not suffered from war. It is really kind of the emperor to give us that piece of land."
"Did you ask Schneider? He died 13 years ago, a serious illness, I couldn't save him, alas..."
"The butler of Arielda has also gone, and now he is the new big butler. Jeno, come here and let Lorne get to know you."
Nodding to the middle-aged man, Lorne still quietly listened to his father Lehman's rambling.
Through his words, Lorne knew that after 70 years of penance, the outside world has already changed.
The eldest brother Virgil has been home several times, and now he has joined the Magic Guild, fighting with the Bronze Legion in the southern province.
Lilia left the Scarlet Queen to sit down seven years ago, took her family guards, and joined the war in the northern province.
Her father, Lehman, also tried to stop her, but Lilia persisted wholeheartedly.
He convinced Duke Lehman with the reason that soldiers must go through battles to reach a higher peak.
"My biggest regret is that I didn't hold your child!"
Lehman Klander took a sip of red wine and wiped his eyes suddenly.
He looked at Lorne and said in a low voice: "Sometimes, I really hope that you, Lorne, are an ordinary person. You can be with me, and you can give me a few grandchildren. Then the grandson will have a few more children. The next door Viscount Boris is now a great-grandfather."
"¨~Hehe, am I being too selfish when I say that."
"Actually, other families are very envious of me. I have three outstanding children."
"But sometimes, I really..."
Lilia and Lorne looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
It was a very festive family dinner, but for some reason, it became like this after chatting.
Lorne is actually very clear that his father, Lehman, loves his elder brother Virgil's precociousness the most, and values Lilia's talent the most.
For himself, he is like the father of an ordinary family, he does not ask him to do anything big, but only asks him to be safe and well, and to be able to inherit everything from the Earl's Mansion back then.
Let Virgil and Lilia carry the wind and rain.
But Lorne violated his father's expectations after all.
Because this is a world full of magic and fighting spirit, without strength, one will only be slaughtered.
"Now our Bauhinia family is the top aristocratic family in the empire and even in the entire continent."
Duke Lehman suddenly changed his low tone, and said happily: "Virgil is now a tenth-level great magister, and Lilia has also become a well-known Lionheart Fighting Sect. You, Lorne, are the most famous dragon on the mainland." Holy Magician."
"Three powerful men, plus the duke title, a large area of land in the western province."
"Such a family business, even if future generations can toss it, it can be tossed for hundreds of years!"
"I have made a plan. When Virgil returns from the battlefield in the southern province, let him officially accept the family (De Li's) business and inherit the title of duke."
"You two have no objections?"
Lorne nodded, "I will obey my father in everything."
Lilia also nodded quickly, "I prefer training and fighting. These things should be taken over by my elder brother."
Facing this extremely rare harmony within the wealthy family, Duke Lehman was extremely pleased.
Although he knew that his three children were all of excellent character, he didn't want to see any drama of fighting for power and profit.
"Virgil should agree. After all, with Lorne around, the family doesn't really need it. The new Sanctuary powerhouse is here."
"At that time, let him have two children and train him for ten or twenty years, so he can continue to practice!"
"Haha, tell me, dad is right?"
Lilia immediately agreed with her father, with a smile on her face.
Now, she was afraid that her father would urge her to get married and have a child.
Lorne, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly:
"Father, little sister, there is something I need to tell you."
"I have become a god."
Earl Lehman laughed, "It's good to become a god, become a god... what hook?"
Lilia looked at Lorne in shock. Her second brother had quietly become a sanctuary at the beginning. When she heard the news, she didn't recover for a long time.
Now Lorne suddenly said that he has become a god?
