Baron Maury turned and stared at the son he regarded as the hope of the family with a complicated expression, his eyes full of pride and shame, since Carlos was seven years old when he underwent the blood test, he was destined to embark on a thorny road.

He watched this originally lazy son begin to mature.

Baron Maury felt indescribably relieved.

He knew that for countless nights, this little son had been constantly practicing the spiritual summoning method of puppetry, and the pocket watch that was given to him was the same as that of Baron Maury, so the baron knew very well how much his youngest son Carlos had to pay to inherit the bloodline of the Winter Moon and master the summoning technique in the future.

Carlos was observant, he obviously saw the emotion in his father's eyes, but pretended not to notice it.

He pursed his lips and smiled casually, and said: "Char is also leaving the town today to join the hunter team, even such a guy who has never been taught martial arts and only knows how to exercise his muscles and temper brute strength every day, when he yearns for the outside world, as the heir of the Stevenson family, I have the opportunity to study in the Central Province, I am actually very happy, but I am a little reluctant to Yanjing Town and your father for a while." ”

Maury nodded and said: "Carlos, I'm glad you think so, as the son of a pioneer, he is destined to have an extraordinary life, and De Ligt, as the eldest brother, has been back from the wilderness for so long, you should put away your lazy temperament and help Carlos form a qualified knight order, so that when the Stevenson family knights return to the central province, they will not fall into the wisdom of their ancestors, this is your responsibility." ”

De Ligt was stunned for a moment, and then his face was solemn, and his eyes beat his chest resolutely.

Carlos smiled lightly, and said with deep meaning: "I think the eldest brother can also go to the Central Province with me, where the Sword Pavilion Academy is very suitable for him." ”

Baron Maury was full of surprise, because this Sword Pavilion Academy was one of the three best colleges in the Central Province, but it was an academy for the Sword Pavilion to train believers, and as an academy that became black hats after graduation, the nobles never bothered to go and study in it.

The real nobles often seek positions in the parliament and the Holy See, and these are the power hubs that the nobles aspire to.

Therefore, the admission qualification of Sword Pavilion College every year has always been fought for among the common people.

With such an aristocratic status as De Ligt, it is very likely that he will immediately become the number one public enemy of the entire academy if he enrolls, and there will be constant turmoil at that time.

Although puzzled, Baron Maury did not immediately object.

He wondered, "Of course, if De Ligt has this will, no matter which academy he applies to, I will support the acquisition of the mine in Xilin City after I understand it." ”

De Ligt was even more pleasantly surprised when he heard this, and glanced at Carlos gratefully.

Carlos just chuckled, and for the fact that De Ligt liked the Sword Pavilion, he had to start with his experience in the wilderness.

Seventeen years old, De Ligt has been living alone in a world full of wild beasts and hunters for six years.

And accompanying him through the wilderness at the beginning, and the most difficult time, was a black hat who pursued fugitives alone in the wilderness, and the Sword Pavilion believer taught De Ligt the first lesson of survival in the wilderness, and almost became De Ligt's life mentor in the future.

It's a pity that the black hat lord who made the eldest brother respected died in the wilderness in the end, without the scratches of wild beasts on his body, but full of black holes and holes.

De Ligt confided in Carlos alone, and their father, Baron Maury, knew nothing about it.

Baron Maury looked at the harmonious and friendly half-brother in front of him, and his already gentle eyes softened.

Men are always like this, strong to see this cold world, but will keep the considerate side for their children.

He stretched out his hand and patted Carlos and De Ligt on the shoulders one by one, saying, "Compared to me, a nobleman who has done nothing and even lost his family dukedom, my son will not disappoint the world. ”

Carlos wanted to speak lightly, but Maury suddenly glared at him with a straight face: "Do you still need you two rabbit cubs to comfort you as a father?"

Then the silver-haired nobleman waved his hand, and said majestically as usual: "Go out, I still have government affairs to do." ”

Carlos and De Ligt went out of the study and ordered the butler to fetch a fine bottle of brandy from the cellar, and Grant had already set up the carriage and waited in the front yard.

Carlos stood at the door of the villa, looked at the carriage in the front yard, and said to the eldest brother De Ligt next to him: "Big brother, why have there been more night watchmen near our house recently?"

"Father is worried about what tricks the few families who will participate in the competition for the mines of Xilin City in the end, and when you go out, you will also bring a few more night watchmen, so it is better to be cautious in the eventful season. ”

Carlos stared and nodded.

"It seems that the Knights must be formed quickly, otherwise it will not be possible to be so passive all the time. ”

De Ligt sighed, "The qualifications of the Knights have always been there, but my father disbanded the former Knights and did not replenish them, and did not establish such a powerful combat force, haven't you thought about why?"

Carlos was slightly stunned, in fact, this matter is not without thinking.

speculated that the biggest possibility was that my father was relegated to such a poor and remote place, which was barren and small and did not need the knights.

But for now, it seems that there is more to it than that.

Carlos looked at De Ligt suspiciously, "What is the reason?"

De Ligt looked up at the sky that was dark and covered by a thick layer of haze, and the wild wind was bleak, and the sun still couldn't be seen in the middle of the day.

He shook his head noncommittally, looked into Carlos' eyes and said, "I'm not very sure about this matter, anyway, it has some kind of relationship with your mother's life, it seems that my father swore not to form a knight order for himself again for your mother." ”

Carlos frowned.

"My mother?"

Carlos, who whispered, had a beautiful woman's face in the back of his mind, graceful and gentle.

A name deliberately lurks deep in the deepest part of his memory.

- Saviara Taylor.

For his mother's unknown whereabouts, which used to be Carlos's most confused and painful memory when he was a child, was suddenly mentioned by De Ligt, Carlos suddenly felt that time seemed to really catalyze a person's thoughts.

The figure of that great motherhood is still getting fainter and fainter in my mind.

And the reason for all this is that his father Maury has always been silent about this matter, and does not confide in Carlos about his mother.

Over time, it seems to have faded into oblivion.

Carlos had matured a lot, and he didn't hold a grudge against his father, Baron Maury, because he knew that for a strong man who had gone through the demotion from duke to baron, and still hadn't fallen, there must have been unspeakable hardships in being able to keep silent about it.

And if, the Order has something to do with this?

Carlos suddenly felt more determined to build a powerful order of knights.
