Act II: The Accident of Breakfast
Flange Fortress !!
When Lawson heard this word, he subconsciously called up the system panel, and the hidden task clearly said to find the Flange Fortress, but he didn't expect it to take no effort to get it?
Fortunately, Rosen was a skeleton, and outsiders could not detect his emotional fluctuations at all, and Langton naturally thought that he was as cold as ever, and then spoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"In the last war, we lost badly in the Ludwigs, so this time, I wanted to prove myself. ”
"I understand. ”
Rosen nodded, and sighed in his heart for this unlucky young man, if it wasn't for Rosen coming here by mistake, I'm afraid Langton's desire to revitalize the family would be in vain.
He also wanted to ask for some details about the crown war, when a soft knock on the door interrupted Rosen's words.
"Master Langton, it's time for breakfast. ”
It seemed that it was a servant or something, and the other party did not come in directly, but waited quietly outside the door.
"Uh...... Mr. Alphonse, I wonder if you can wait here for a while?"
Langton looked embarrassed, and Rosen read a little different.
"It's okay, I'm just going to need to get used to it. ”
Lawson didn't say much, but secretly left another magic mark on Langton's body, so that he could gain the other party's vision and hearing.
Langton nodded before cautiously leaving the room.
Rosen, on the other hand, sat directly on the ground, secretly inquiring about the situation in the vicinity, while paying attention to Langton's movements.
The young man first went back to his room, tidied up his appearance, and changed into dark clothes before coming to the dining room.
There were already other people sitting in the restaurant.
One was a black-haired young man who looked a few years older than Langton, and the other was a childish girl.
It seems that this is his brother and sister?
Behind the black-haired young man was a man hidden in the hood, and Rosen did not rashly probe, but faintly sensed that the other party's strength was not weak.
"Langton, are you oversleeping again?"
The girl spoke first, facing her brother, but there was no trace of respect, but more of a mocking tone.
"No, no. ”
Langton replied hesitantly, and only then took his seat at the farthest point from the throne.
Just as he was seated, the door to the dining room opened again, and someone who looked like the head of the house walked in.
The three siblings immediately stood up and saluted their father before sitting down.
To be honest, Rosen doesn't know if breakfast in human society is such a cumbersome etiquette, but what he sees in front of him is quite troublesome.
They first prayed to the goddess to thank her for all that she had given the people, and then to the king to show the Ludwig's loyalty, and when it was all over, breakfast could begin.
"Noah, how sure are you about the next crown war?"
The head of the house, the gray-haired man, asked Langton's brother.
"With the help of this heroic spirit, I believe that this war is foolproof. ”
Noah was clearly confident, and he looked at the person behind him and smiled confidently.
"It is worthy of the genius of the Ludwig family once in a century, whether you can regain the glory this time, the hope is pinned on you. ”
Master Ludwig nodded, as if satisfied, and turned his gaze to his youngest daughter, who was only fourteen years old, but already quite lovely, and even more commendable, her attainment of necromancy was not inferior to that of his brother, and could be said to be one of the shining stars of the contemporary Ludwig family.
"Ciel, how are you studying lately?"
"The spells below the second order are basically mastered, to be honest, Mr. Rudaos's progress is too slow, and I can't wait to study the third-order spells. ”
The girl named Hill replied, with a look of disdain.
"It's good, while it's a good thing to get to grips with it, it's just as important to have a solid foundation. ”
Master Ludwig also looked satisfied, and finally looked at Langton, who was furthest away from him.
"So ......"
Turning his gaze to the other side of the table, Master Ludwig's subtle smile vanished.
“......”
Feeling his gaze fall on him, Langton stopped slicing the fried egg in his hand.
"Langton, have you figured out how to get out?"
Master Ludwig's tone was cold, with a hint of majesty, as if he were exhorting Langton to give up as soon as possible, as if he were talking not to his own son, but to a stranger.
The implication of his words was that Langton had no possibility of becoming a necromancer at all, so he had to find another way, after all, after studying for so long, a person who couldn't even complete a complete first-order necromancer was too arrogant to want to become a necromancer.
With the status of the Ludwig family, it is not difficult to get an idle job for the rest of his life, but Lord Ludwig knows that his son is not so easy to accept the reality.
The Ludwig family does not need waste, even for his own son, and Master Ludwig has always lived to this motto.
"I ...... Father, actually, ......"
Langton hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Actually, I also summoned the Heroic Spirit and got the opportunity to participate in the Crown War. ”
At the same time as Langton's words were heard, everyone in the entire restaurant stopped.
Noah gave a meaningful expression and stared at Langton quietly, as if waiting for his next move.
Hill directly showed a questioning look, secretly glanced at his father, and remained silent.
Master Ludwig, on the other hand, looked angry when he heard Langton's words.
"What did you say, summoning the Heroic Spirit?"
He asked in a skeptical tone.
"No, it can't be, only one person from each family can be chosen, and for thousands of years, there has never been an exception!!"
"That's right, Langton, are you sure you're summoning a Heroic Spirit and not some demon from the Endless Void who specializes in demagoguery?"
Seeing that his father's attitude was clear, Hill echoed the mockery.
"Langton, I don't want to think you're lying because you're trying to attract attention, but if you do summon a Heroic Spirit, then there should be evidence, like ...... Where are the Heroic Spirits you summoned now?"
Noah didn't make fun of Langton directly, but his words were also full of deep distrust.
"Uh...... Listen to me, the thing is ......."
Langton was stunned by the questioning of the three men, and was about to explain, when the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.
"The Heroic Spirit he summoned is here. ”
Peeking at Rosen, who was in an embarrassment at Langton, he came to the restaurant as fast as he could, looked around at the Ludwig family with a surprised expression, and spoke.
