Chapter 41 Hot
In such a conflicted state of mind, Kerr spent the three most difficult years of his life.

When the news came out from the street boss, not only Cole, but the entire Luchi Chamber of Commerce was rejoicing.

It was from that time that Cole knew that if there was anything in this world that his eldest brother cared about, it was probably only his parents.

With parents around, even if there is no affection between me and my elder brother, my elder brother will take care of me for the sake of my parents.

It is precisely based on this point that after coming to Rock City, Cole has always been very respectful to his parents.

He knew that if he treated his parents badly in the slightest, his elder brother would definitely not be kind to him.

After his parents died, Cole reverted to the same mindset he had decades earlier.

There was no way. Before, Cole knew that as long as his parents were around, he was his eldest brother's younger brother.

However, the bond between the two brothers has now been broken, and Cole doesn't know how much weight he still has in his eldest brother's heart.

"Don't blame me, brother. I didn't want to..."

“But I’m afraid…”

Slowly standing up from the chair in the conference room, Cole put his hands behind his back and slowly walked from the shadow of the conference room to the sunlight at the door.

No one wants to live in someone's shadow forever.

In order to get rid of the shadow, everything you pay is worth it!
……

In Locke's territory, on the surface, nothing seemed to have changed.

However, since some time ago, some strange merchants have appeared in Locke Territory.

There was not much cargo on their car. Whenever they arrived at a village, the first thing they did was not to sell the cargo on their car or buy some local specialties from the village, but to walk around the village holding a white bead.

Because these people did not do anything extreme towards the villagers, and the price they paid for the specialty products was higher than that of other merchants, no one took them seriously.

They crossed mountains and lakes...

Their footprints can be found wherever there are people living in Locke's territory.

Golmud City is the fief of Viscount Gasike.

Although Golmud City is much smaller than Locke County, its luxury is no less than that of Locke City.

After all, the person in charge of Locke City now is Cole, the younger brother of Grand Duke Locke.

Although Cole is Lord Locke's younger brother, Lord Locke did not grant Cole the title of knight. Strictly speaking, Cole is still just a commoner.

However, for Lord Locke's sake, no one would look down on Cole just because he was a commoner.

Bad name, bad words.

He was not the master of Locke Territory. Even if Cole was the person in charge of Locke Territory, he did not dare to live a very luxurious life in Locke Territory, for fear of being despised by Locke.

But Gasco has no such concerns.

As a viscount personally appointed by Lord Locke, as long as he paid enough taxes to the Locke Territory every year, he would be the king in his own territory.

After working hard for most of our lives, isn’t it just for the enjoyment we have now?
However, as time passed, Gaske became more and more afraid of death.

This is also the reason why when the people from the Temple of Light came to find him, he did not refuse, but instead dragged the other four brothers who had formed an alliance with him into the water.

He believed that the other four brothers would make the same choice as him when faced with such temptation.

In fact, it was not what he expected.

Faced with the temptation of becoming a sanctuary, no older ninth-level warrior could resist.

Not only that, in order to prevent being hunted down by Grand Duke Locke after the matter was exposed, the five brothers decided to drag Grand Duke Locke's younger brother Cole into the water.

Although doing so would delay the time it would take for the five brothers to become holy lands, at least everyone's safety would be guaranteed.

Becoming a sanctuary is about having more time to enjoy life, not about welcoming death faster!
Walking out of the bedroom and opening the door, one could vaguely see two fair and fair bodies lying under the white bed curtains. After Gasco left, the maids came forward and closed the door to prevent the people in the room from revealing any of their beauty.

Gasike walked out of the bedroom and wandered around the mansion with her hands behind her back.

Arriving in front of a courtyard, Gasike looked at the young men who were practicing hard in the yard and stood there watching for a long time.

“It’s great to be young…”

A ninth-level warrior could live up to five hundred years.

And Gaske is now almost four hundred years old.

As she gets older, Gaske can feel that her current condition can only be maintained for another ten to twenty years at most.

By then, my condition will inevitably decline and my strength will drop significantly.

More importantly, this feeling of being able to sense the passing of life day by day can almost drive people crazy.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Viscount's Mansion came to Gasike and whispered something in Gasike's ear.

"Really?"

Hearing the housekeeper's words, a hint of joy appeared in Gasike's eyes.

At that moment, Gasike didn't wait for the butler and strode towards the study in the Viscount's Mansion.

"Lord Gasco."

Of the two people standing in front of the desk in the study, the older one immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Gaske after seeing her.

"Greetings, Master Gasco."

The little girl following behind the middle-aged man, after seeing the middle-aged man's actions, also knelt down and kowtowed to Gasike.

However, in response to the two men's greetings, Gaske did not say anything. Instead, she walked anxiously to the middle-aged man.

"Quick, show me."

"Yes, Master Gasco."

The middle-aged man took out a white bead from his arms. The bead was faintly emitting a white light.

Gasike reached out and took the white bead in her hand and could still feel the warmth of the bead.

Gasike held the beads and slowly walked towards the little girl.

As Gasike approached, the white light emanating from the beads in his hand became more and more dazzling.

At the same time, the temperature of the beads is slowly rising.

"it is true!"

Gasike was excited and slowly backed away.

The farther away from the girl, the dimmer the light of the beads in Gaske's hand became, and the lower the temperature became.

When Gasike left the study, the beads in his hand were no different from ordinary white pearls.

It no longer glowed, and the temperature returned to its icy cold state.

After trying several times, Gaske's gaze towards the girl became increasingly passionate.

There has never been a moment when Gaske felt that the holy land was within her reach.

For a moment, Gaske was imagining the days after she became a saint.
