The doorway to the Stevenson family's villa.

Three or four beautiful maids who were cleaning in the front yard greeted their young master with a smile, and Carlos got out of the carriage and found that the number of night watchmen at the door was noticeably more numerous than usual, and the expressions on their faces were not as lazy and lax as before, and there were even a few guys with long guns standing on the high towers, looking around vigilantly.

Carlos, distracted, did not make a sound, and followed the two maids into the house.

Carlos walked with his head down, not noticing that the maid in front of him had suddenly stopped.

When he looked up in confusion.

A silver-haired, middle-aged, elegant aristocrat, appeared directly in front of him with a feather duster and whipped it hard on Carlos's ass.

Oh!

Carlos sprang to his feet with his ass in his hands, letting out a wail that resembled that of a hungry wolf, and a mouth on his face full of surprise opened into an oval.

Maury Stevenson said coldly: "You actually dare to get involved in the affairs of a foreign race, and for this reason, you can bring together an untrustworthy dismissing Sword Pavilion believer, how capable are you to drive a five-star swordsman?"

Carlos covered his ass and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Isn't it that there are no manpower available? Sending the elves and orcs away is not only a favor for the teacher Du Buyi, but I also want to take advantage of the rare opportunity to go to the Rodney Mountains to collect some herbs. ”

Maury appeared behind Carlos like a ghost.

Carlos hurriedly took two steps back, and only let down his guard when he noticed that his father was no longer holding a feather duster in his hand.

Maury slowly paced around his son, staring at Carlos suspiciously, "I heard that you have promised two apprentice knights, do you have the idea of rebuilding the Knights?"

Carlos was accustomed to this outrageously well-informed father, and confessed: "Why not, there are so many knight slots that are not used, which will cause chaos in the town, right?"

"Huh, what do you know?"

Maury glanced at his son, snorted softly, and walked towards the back room.

Carlos looked at the back of his father's departure and gritted his teeth, this is the communiqué personal vendetta revenge.

Shhh

Reaching out and rubbing his buttocks vigorously, he glared at the maid who was obviously new to the side and was frightened by the head of the house and the young man just now, and said, "Go get some medicine for sores and put it on me." ”

De Ligt, who didn't know when he appeared on the balcony of the corridor on the second floor, suddenly whistled and teased: "Yo, the ass is blooming?

"Get out!"

Carlos cursed and fled into the guest room in the lobby side hall.

When lunch was ready, a somewhat hobbled Carlos appeared from the door of the dining room, followed by a beautiful maid with a crimson face.

Watching Carlos sit down with half his ass, De Ligt sympathetically sandwiched a steak for him, his eyes scanning Carlos's ass back and forth with the red-cheeked maid behind him.

Maury sat on the throne and ate unhurriedly, and De Ligt did not dare to make a joke, but only showed a meaningful smile to his brother Carlos.

Maury's food was not good, so he quickly put down his knife and fork, looked at Carlos, who was scooping soup, and said, "You are really a helpful nobleman, I don't know if that elf and orc will think of you." ”

Carlos' body stiffened slightly, and he bowed his head and said, "It's not important." ”

After a hearty lunch, and when the two brothers were out of the table, a housekeeper servant asked some of the maids to come in and clean up, and whispered to them that Murray was waiting for them in the study where the affairs were handled.

Carlos nodded.

De Ligt wiped his mouth with a napkin next to him, and said with a wicked smile: "Maybe my father is going to marry you, our family has always been thin." ”

Carlos gave him a blank look, ignoring the ridicule of the big brother who had recently made a mistake with himself.

In the study, Morry slowly lifted his head from the table, and the acquisition of the mines in Xilin City made him a little exhausted.

Maury squeezed out a smile as much as he could: "Carlos, you will be thirteen after this year, the family has been sending people to urge, since I learned about your bloodline concentration, those old guys in the family in the Central Province have sent people to urge you almost every six months, and the letter that asked you to go back and prepare for the inheritance ceremony is almost out of a drawer." ”

The family here does not refer to Stevenson's branch, but the main family above Stevenson, the big family of the ancient inheritance - the inheritance family of the ancient gods of the four seasons, the Winter Moon family.

Carlos hesitated and did not speak.

He knew that the Winter Moon, which was the ancient inheritance of the Four Seasons Ancient God Family, was a huge family system, and the Stevenson family was only a side bloodline in it.

The real Winter Moon family, how huge the main line is, Carlos doesn't have a clear concept.

I just know that when my father was a hereditary duke of the empire, he was not moved into the family tree by the main bloodline.

What can really be recognized by the Winter Moon is only the concentration of the bloodline of the ancient gods, which is also the unique feature of the Winter Moon family to maintain the inheritance.

De Ligt smiled brightly and said, "Father, isn't it possible to perform the ritual at the age of fifteen, and is it necessary for those guys in the city to be in such a hurry?"

Mo Li glared at him and said, "It will take several months to travel from here to the Central Province, so naturally you have to plan in advance. ”

Carlos suddenly raised his head and asked, "Isn't there a steam airship?"

Baron Maury Stevenson put down the quill pen in his hand, took out a piece of letter paper with the family crest from the drawer, and handed it to the desk with a frown.

"Eastern Cyprus is at war with the Black Iron Dwarven Clans on the border, and all the airships from all the districts have been sent to the front, and all the civil airships departing from Cyprus have been suspended due to the war. ”

Carlos was surprised: "When did this happen?"

Maury sighed, a little old face showed a touch of imperceptible gloom, stood up, and came to a pair of ancient armor, the simple patterns, the esoteric inscriptions, the cold breath, the vicissitudes of history came to his face, making Baron Maury feel suffocated.

This piece of armor that has gone down in history is the founder of the Stevenson family, and it is a constant reminder that the Stevenson family is the blood of the heroes of the empire's pioneers.

Trailblazer.

What a legendary title.

Baron Murray, as the successor, was a little lonely.

However, he quickly regained his spirits from exhaustion, and since he was a child, he gave birth to a son with the blood of the high-purity Winter Moon, and he was proud to have an heir who made the old guys in the Central Province miss him.

Baron Maury looked at Carlos and said solemnly: "You don't need to worry about other things, in short, after the winter snow is over this year, you must embark on the journey to the Central Province, if you are really interested in knights, arm a knight order with your will, and let your eldest brother De Ligt assist you." ”
