Chapter 19: Life History
A few days later, in the early hours of the morning.
Walking in the attic, at the end, there is a hall.
There were guards standing all around, all wearing armor, their eyes were very sharp, and they all looked elite.
Walking here quietly, Adiel's eyes remained the same, just looking at the hall at the end, where someone was waiting for him.
After a period of buffering, the owner of the castle, Count Boria, finally summoned Adil and asked him to come here today to meet him in person.
"Please come with me, my lord is waiting for you inside. โ
A young man dressed in a black gown who looked like an attendant had a smile on his face and said respectfully and politely to Adil and personally lead the way.
Adil nodded, his face unchanged, and walked forward with the young man in front of him.
After a short distance along the way, I finally reached my destination.
"Please go in by yourself, Lord Boria is inside!" Approaching an intersection, the young man looked at Adil apologetically and said to him.
"Thank you. Adil smiled and walked forward.
Inside, a tall middle-aged man was standing there, quietly waiting for him.
"Your Excellency!" Without much hesitation, Adil bowed to the man on a half-kneeling halt.
"Get up. A majestic voice came from the front.
Sensing Adil's arrival, the middle-aged man on the other side turned around and spoke.
Adil got up and looked up to see the other party's appearance.
This is a tall and majestic middle-aged man, who looks no more than thirty years old from the outside, with strong muscles all over his body, looks very strong, and has a wide face full of majesty.
He was wearing a black robe, and the expression on his face was gentle at this time, and he looked at Adil quietly.
This was the first time Adil had come into contact with and observed the Count of Boria so closely, although in the past, in Adier's memory, the Count of Boria would often patrol everywhere, but every time he appeared, he was accompanied by many guards, and it was the first time in his memory that he had spoken to Adil alone like today.
After seeing the count's face, Adiel's body suddenly stiffened, because in his mind, the voice of the chip machine suddenly sounded.
"Name: Polia, Fakus. Power: 5.7. Dexterity: 5.4. System: 5.8. โ
"Ding! The target's life is extremely dangerous, it is recommended to stay away!"
In an instant, Count Boria's body data was transmitted to his mind by the chip, which shocked Adiel's heart.
"This kind of data!" he was shocked and a little incredulous.
It has been half a year since Adil was reborn in this world, and the Count of Boria in front of him is the strongest he has ever seen, even far stronger than the previous Velal knights.
Flal is already the pinnacle level of knights, so what kind of level should the Count of Boria in front of him be?
On the other side, as if sensing the nervousness of Adil in front of him, Count Polya showed a gentle smile on his face, looking like a kind elder: "Don't be so nervous, relax." โ
"I have the same surname as you, your father is my cousin, and if you really say it, you can call me uncle. โ
Adil was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, with a kind and shy smile on his face: "Yes, Uncle Boria." โ
"That's right. โ
Seemingly satisfied with Adiel's attitude, Count Polya nodded with a smile and said to Adiel: "Time really flies, until now, I still remember how you looked when you were sent by your father three years ago, so cute and shy, I didn't expect to become a knight so soon." โ
As he spoke, he walked behind him and took out a box from behind him and placed it on the table in front of Adil.
The box was large, and it looked dark on the outside, but it was clean, and I don't know what it contained.
"Open it, it's a gift from me, and celebrate your promotion to knighthood. He looked at Adil and said gently, as if he was an elder who cared about his juniors.
Adil stepped forward and opened the box under the gaze of Count Boria, revealing its contents.
Inside the box was a black long sword, which looked clean and thorough, reflecting a faint glow in the light.
"It's... A weapon forged from Black Steel?"
Looking at this weapon, Adil stroked it gently, and the cold touch made him stunned, and said with some uncertainty.
Heirui steel, a special metal in this world, is produced in very small quantities, only in a very few mysterious places.
Weapons made of this black steel are not only lightweight, but also strong and sharp, so they are very valuable.
Like the long sword in front of Adier, if it was really forged by Heirui Steel, then it could be worth at least five or six thousand gold coins, which was at least equivalent to the entire income of an ordinary barony for five or six years.
"Not bad. โ
In the face of Adiel's question, Count Boria kept a smile on his face and nodded in affirmation: "This is indeed a weapon forged by Heirui Steel, which I accidentally obtained on the battlefield when I was young, and has been preserved until now. โ
"Here, pick it up and give it a try and see if it goes well. He said to Adil as if encouragingly.
Adil didn't hesitate, his right hand stretched out directly, and picked up the Heirui longsword in the wooden box.
The black sword was even lighter than Adil had imagined, as if it had no weight, and even a child could pick it up.
And holding this sword, Adil faintly felt that the conduction of life energy in his body seemed to become easier.
This is also one of the characteristics of Black Ruigang, which can make it easier for knights to conduct life energy and use less strength to perform knight secret skills.
"It's a good fit. โ
Feeling the sword in his hand, after a while, Adil said truthfully.
"Since it's appropriate, then take it. โ
Count Boria nodded first, looked at Adiel, and after a while, said seemingly unintentionally, "I heard that you have been asking your father about your mother?"
Hearing this, Adil was stunned for a moment.
In his memory, in the past, when he had not yet crossed over, the original owner of this body was indeed very obsessed with this matter, even after coming to the castle of Count Boria, he did not give up, and often wrote to the father of this body to ask.
In this regard, Adil had no choice but to nod his head according to the other party's words, and his face pretended to be excited: "Do you know about my mother's situation?"
Looking at Adier's performance, a smile appeared on Count Boria's face: "I have heard some of the things about your father and mother back then. โ
"Your mother, in fact, is an elf from afar. โ
"What!" Hearing Boria's "shocked" expression, it looked very real.
Strictly speaking, this expression is not completely pretended.
Although he was prepared for similar speculations, he was still a little surprised when he heard the final answer.
The so-called elves, a species that exists in this world for real, are rumored to be located on another continent and rarely appear here.
Looking at Adier's "shocked" look, Count Polya pondered for a while and slowly told a beautiful story.
The main body of the story is a love story between an elf who wanders to a foreign land and a young and powerful human lord, and the story sounds so moving that it can almost be written as a romantic epic.
As Count Polya spoke, Adil gritted his teeth and listened, with an excited expression on his face, and quietly listened to all the stories told by the other party.
โยทยทยทยท It's a pity that any love that doesn't care about the eyes of others is destined to attract opposition from some people. When you were very young, some people who were not happy with your father's intercourse with the elves attacked your mother and killed her. โ
"You had a twin sister who died in that time. From then on, your father was overly sad. I started to hate people talking about your mother, so I didn't want to tell you about it. โ
"Now that you've grown up, there are some things you should know. Since it is inconvenient for your father to speak, let me tell you on his behalf. In the end, Count Polya said.
Opposite him, Adil had a sad and moved expression on his face, his eyes faintly red, and he looked very emotional.
Seeing him like this, Count Polya nodded with some satisfaction, and said something to Adil kindly, and handed him a badge symbolizing a knight's certificate to Adil, and then sent him out.
Adil walked out slowly, his face still sad, until he reached his room.
After walking into the room, Adil closed the door, and the sadness and emotion on his face disappeared without a trace.
"A boring third-rate love story that is disgusting and old-fashioned. Adil had no expression on his face, and quietly said what he thought in his heart.
Adil didn't believe the story that Count Boria had just told him.
In Adier's memory, his father has always been a domineering and savage man, although he is very good to Adil, he is usually lustful and cruel, and it is common to rob civilian girls, and when he is angry, he will beat those girls who are captured by him to death.
What kind of romantic love story will such a person have with an elf? It is estimated that most of them will be caught directly after falling in love with it.
Count Boria was probably embarrassed to speak ill of Adiel's father, so he covered it up.
As for why Adil is so sure?
For among the books that Adil had read before, there happened to be an epic poem about love, and the story on it, if you changed its name, happened to be exactly the same as the one told by Count Boria.
According to Adil's speculation, the real truth back then should be that his father forcibly captured his mother into the territory, which was supposed to be just to vent his desires, but it led to Adil's mother becoming pregnant, which gave birth to Adil and his possible sister.
After a few years, perhaps by letting her guard down, Adiel's mother should have taken the opportunity to flee this place, and before leaving, she also took Adiel's sister away, and finally I don't know whether she was killed or successfully escaped.
Adil speculated that there should be a higher probability of successful escape, otherwise Adil's sister should be more likely to be left behind.
"But if this is really the case, then the powerful talent of this body and the importance of this body's father are clear. Thinking of this, Adil muttered to himself.
In this world, elves and humans are actually reproductively isolated.
According to the records, it is difficult for elves and humans to produce offspring, but once they produce offspring, then the hybrid of elves and humans will combine all the advantages of their parents, and all the talents will be very strong, and they will be born geniuses.
And although humans and elves are reproductively isolated, half-elves are not, and both humans and elves can reproduce normally, and even the descendants will inherit the powerful talents of half-elves.
Adier's father in this world belongs to a person with weak knightly talent, the knight bloodline in his body is about to disappear, and he has no descendants, in this case, he suddenly has such an inheritor as Adier, and he is naturally regarded as a treasure, and he is expected to have high hopes.
On the other hand, for Adier's mother, a descendant like a half-elf is also extremely rare, so she decisively found an opportunity to take Adil's sister. It is estimated that the reason why he failed to take Adil away was also because Adil was too closely regarded as the successor and could not succeed.
