"What the hell is going on?" asked Leila, who stared at Charles for a long time, frowning.

"Boss, Young Master Griffin has been unconscious for the past two days, and when I took care of him with Hawke, I saw his crystallization, and in terms of position, he does have the talent to become a magician. ”

Azek didn't understand why Leila was so shocked, Charles's crystals were several times larger than normal, so it's strange that he wasn't a magician until now, right?

"What?"

Charles's father, Jonathan, enlisted in the army very early in order to leave him a title that he could inherit.

Leila grew up watching Charles, and for so many years, she has also played the role of half of Charles's father, how could she not know if this child has crystallized?

Ezek's words finally made her unable to hold her breath any longer, and she stood up suddenly, grabbed Charles, and rummaged through his skull:

"Where's the crystal?"

"In the back, above the occipital bone. Charles was very conscious and honest, for fear that Leila's excitement would pull out all his hair.

Yingyingyu's hand trembled slightly, and Leila carefully brushed away Charles's long black hair, which had not been taken care of for a long time.

The ugly sarcoma birthmark in her memory was gone, replaced by a palm-sized black crystal, as if she had been born there, quiet and mysterious.

"Aunt..."

Leila's rapid snort caressed her neck, Charles was a little uncomfortable, and was about to turn back, but Laila grabbed her collar again:

"Come back with me to Anna!"

"I'll go too!" Cecilia said quickly, raising her hand.

"What are you going to mess with?" asked Leila as she glanced at her little apprentice, then at Charles warily, squinting.

Hearing this, Ezek on the side also raised his eyes a little nervously and looked at Cecilia.

"I'm going to hand in the task~"

Cecilia didn't see the meaning of Leila's eyes, turned around and didn't know where to turn out a piece of paper, shook it in her hand, and said:

"It's only going to be Mrs. Griffin's signing assignment. ”

"Oh..."

Lyra looked at Cecilia with less strings, pouted boringly, and said, "Then you can come along." ”

"Okay, that's... Hawke, look after the house!"

"Okay, Captain!"

"Ezek, you're going to buy groceries and cook!"

"Report to the captain, I'm asking for a swap with Hawke. ”

"No way!"

“...”

Cecilia arranged the two of them, and rushed out of the living room with a smoke, while not forgetting to shout: "The teacher is waiting for me to change clothes~"

"Then I'll go for a change. Charles waited for an opportunity to break free from Leila's clutches and went upstairs to change his clothes.

In a short time, Charles put on his ostentatious fur and walked downstairs with Cecilia, who had finished dressing.

Cecilia wore a light jacket with leather shoulder armor, orange cloth armor with a half-skirt and half-pants, and even combat knee pads.

When Leila saw Cecilia's dress, she stroked her forehead helplessly, and secretly said that she was really thinking too much, and it would take about ten years for this stupid girl to open up...

"Captain, are you going to fight like this?

Hawke asked curiously when he saw Cecilia coming down in full gear.

Seeing Cecilia dressed upright, Ezek first breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but smile, with a grim face.

"After completing the task this time, Mrs. Griffin will definitely think that we are very reliable, and maybe she will help us promote it in the future, and soon we will be famous in the aristocratic circle, and we will not be able to finish the task!"

Cecilia proudly raised her index finger and gushed: "So today's meeting is very important, I have to dress formally to look more professional." ”

"No, when I first saw you, it seemed like I was almost going to die, right?"

Charsto looked at Cecilia with his cheeks, pouting and ruthlessly extinguishing her illusions: "Besides, do you have any misunderstanding about the formal meeting?"

"You—" Cecilia was so choked by Charles that she couldn't speak, so she had to look at Leila pitifully.

"Stinky boy, stop teasing her. ”

Leila slapped Charles' head, then came over and rubbed Cecilia's ponytailed little brain, and said, "Let's go after changing our clothes." ”

Cecilia and her family lived in a three-story courtyard-style building, one of the strongholds set up by the Silver Hand outside the royal city many years ago, and it is also the only real estate that the Silver Hand has left today.

At the beginning of the construction of the stronghold, it was when the Silver Hand was at the pinnacle of the Imperial mercenary world.

In a small settlement, Cecilia's father, the head of the regiment at the time, also spent a lot of money to hire a famous builder in the empire to design such a sharp courtyard building from the inside out.

The stronghold is not only solid and solid, comfortable to live in, but also sharp edges and corners from the courtyard wall to the window sill eaves, which can pierce people's eyes from a distance.

More than a decade ago, homeless refugees gathered outside the royal capital, and they built many wooden houses near the stronghold.

As a result, in this large area, there is only this serious brick and concrete structure building, and over time, people have given it a name, called "brick corner tower".

Later, the refugees gradually settled down, and small traders and vendors began to appear on the streets and alleys to sell things.

Because the brick corner tower is really a bit of a stand out in this building, everyone coincidentally set up stalls nearby.

Alton Outer City has been developed for more than ten years, the brick corner tower is very lively nearby, it is already a famous downtown area, and the street at the entrance of the brick corner tower is also known as the corner tower street.

With the two of them finally squeezing out of the street, Leila just breathed a sigh of relief, and when she looked back, she saw Cecilia clutching her money bag, sweating profusely, looking like she was facing a great enemy.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you if there's a thief~" Charles looked at Cecilia's nervous appearance, couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly comforted.

"She's not afraid of having her wallet stolen," Leila sighed when she saw that the little apprentice was unproductive, and said, "This street is really too dangerous for her." ”

"Dangerous?"

Under Charles's brainwave detection, although some discordant pictures were also found, they did not affect Cecilia, and he was a little dazed.

"Teacher," Cecilia said with a red face.

Leila glanced at her, pointed behind Charles, and said, "Look at this row, the Lyme family's barbecue, the Grugi's meat sauce noodles, and the Kent family's field frog porridge..."

"Teacher!"

Lyra ignored Cecilia again, who was flushed, and continued, "That row, O'Clark's candy shop, Hill's bakery, Campbell's Doranbe..."

"Poof..."Charles couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard half of it.

"Don't laugh!" Cecilia said to Charles, blushing as she carried the standard wooden staff.

"Hahahaha~" Charles couldn't bear it, and raised his thumb to make up for the knife, "Self-control is very strong!"

"Okay, don't make a fuss," Leila hurriedly reached out to stop Cecilia who was about to pounce on Charles and strangle him, "Charles's house is in the south of the city, we have to hurry, but don't bump into other people's meals, it will be embarrassing." ”

The two obediently died down and followed Laila to the side of the road to look for the carriage.

Standing on the main road leading to the inner city, Charles looked up at the majestic royal city of Arton, whose majestic walls could not hide the towering and ornate palace towers.

The royal city of Alton is located in the northernmost part of the deep Loop of St. Doland, and the only remaining cities of Dotland and Castile are overlooked.

The royal castle itself was built around a hill in the middle of the city, which is said to be a hill, but in fact the whole mountain is a huge rock.

The majestic palace towers were built from the boulders by the builders and magicians of the time, and the scattered mineral deposits in the boulders were embedded in the outer walls and pillars of the palace, which was dazzling from afar.

Charles's vision was far greater than ever, and at a glance he could see the jewels on the exterior walls of the palace glittering in the sunlight like bright stars, and the beautiful plants flourishing among the towers, and an indescribable strange feeling came over him.

The realism of being in another world became especially strong at this moment, and he was stunned for a while.

"What's the fuss? Get in the car. Just as Charles was stunned, Leila had already hired the carriage and slipped into the carriage with Cecilia to call him back to his soul.

The carriage drove along the main road, which was more than ten meters wide, and Charles looked around like a curious baby.

As the carriages got closer to the city walls, the buildings on both sides of the road became more neat and upscale, and the pedestrians became more decently dressed.

All the way to the moat at the foot of the city wall, a circle of residential areas built near the river is all exquisite and gorgeous villas.

The people's dress has also become more noble and luxurious, and there is no shortage of adults dressed in military uniforms and official attire.

And every house here has a strong architectural style.

This is the unique angular design of the Orton Empire, and the sharp edge of the imperial people is vividly displayed on these buildings.

Entering the east gate of the inner city, you will be greeted by the prosperous avenue of wind, which is the commodity trading area in the eastern part of the inner city, also known as the East Market.

There are many shops, vendors everywhere, taverns and restaurants everywhere, up to tens of millions of high-grade weapons, down to a copper plate to buy one get one free handicrafts, food, everything.

In Charles's memory, there was also a blacksmith shop on this street in his family.

However, in order to get to Griffin's house as quickly as possible, the driver did not choose to go through the trading area.

Instead, along the base of the city wall, all the way around the royal knights' residence in the southeast corner of the inner city, and went straight to the noble residential area in the south of the city.

There lived noble families like the Griffins, whose families had been knighted for meritorious service.

Griffin's house was not far from the Knights' station, and the coachman drove the carriage around the corner of the city, and after a short walk he stopped the carriage.

"Charles, it's home. ”
