Chapter 35: A Belated Talent
The scene when he held the magic stone for the first time was like yesterday in Anthony's mind.
The excitement and longing of the teenagers, the expectations of grandpa and parents, and the curiosity of the people. After the faint glimmer of light that flashed vaguely by the magic measuring stone, all eyes dimmed. At the same time, it was dimmed, and the heart of the teenager.
The boy was not convinced, and tested the second and third times, but the light still did not change.
The boy doesn't believe in evil, so he invites other magic stones, try again!
The situation remains unchanged.
The teenager confirmed this brutal truth. But the boy was strong, he was not intimidated by reality, he still held on to his beliefs.
However, the disappointment in the eyes of his father, mother and grandfather, which could not be completely concealed, deeply pierced his young heart. He did not want to let his dearest family be sad and disappointed, and he did not want to accept this shame imposed on him by God. Therefore, he is still diligent, still hardworking, and still persevering in the pursuit of his own strong path.
However, in the eyes of others, this is just an escape behavior of the teenager who does not want to face reality.
All along, the young man has never been able to let his relatives erase the shadow of disappointment in their eyes, nor has he been able to bring a heartfelt pride and pride to his relatives.
Now, with the help of the "Oriental Mythology System" and under the cover of the identity of the bloodline inheritor, Anthony, the "adult" who successfully passed the assessment and inherited the title of the family lord, finally obtained the strength, honor and status that he had dreamed of before.
However, the closest family members with whom he most wanted to share this joy were now gone.
And when he no longer cared about magic or fighting talent, he was suddenly told that he was a top-level magic genius, and he was also a magic genius in the whole system.
Ha!
Anthony stared blankly at the handmade glowing magic stone, and the first thought in his heart was not surprise, excitement, or even surprise and strangeness, but anger and helplessness.
God, and the gods all over the sky, are you playing with me?!
On another tall building opposite the Zuixiang Building, the window of a room facing this side was wide open.
At this time, an old man was standing in front of the window.
The old man has a Chinese face, gray hair, and wrinkles on his face that are like swords carved by a sword. When people see him for the first time, what naturally comes to mind is Jin Ge Iron Horse, iron and blood.
The old man quietly watched the lively scene of the treasure guessing scene below, and his face as resolute as a rock was not moved at all. Just looked at the young man holding the magic stone in his eyes, revealing a strong interest.
A middle-aged man, who was half a body behind the old man on the left side, noticed the interest in the old man's eyes, and asked for instructions: "Lord Duke, that is the newly recruited enshrinement of the Hilton family, the young genius who has been hotly discussed among the nobles in the city recently, Anthony?" Bruce. Do you want your subordinates to come over and say hello to him? ”
Lord Duke!
The Glorious Empire has only six provinces, and there are only six Grand Dukes. And the Duke in the city of Edinburgh can only be the highest governor of the province of Edinburgh, the Grand Duke of Mattosias.
Grand Duke Mattesias is now in his sixties. Born into a small aristocracy with little prestige, he rose through the ranks purely by military prowess with little family support, and was eventually named one of the only six dukes of the empire.
The Grand Duke has fought countless battles in his life, and spent half of his life on the battlefield, making great contributions to the expansion and defense of the empire, and is known as the emperor **god. And under the incomparably dazzling aura of the god of war, there is another name of the Grand Duke that is only circulated among a few people: Bole.
The Grand Duke controls nearly a quarter of the empire's army, and his generals are like clouds and strategists are like rain. Among them, many of them were recognized by the Grand Duke, and were promoted from low-level officers or even small soldiers. And the people who are valued by the Grand Duke must prove his vision of people with their own strength in the end.
The middle-aged man had followed the Grand Duke for many years and was very familiar with his temperament. At a glance, you can see that the Grand Duke has a love for money again. At the moment, take the initiative to ask Ying to contact the young man who is in the limelight.
The Grand Duke was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Forget it." ”
Middle-aged people will naturally not just say hello to Anthony, but take the initiative to contact, probe, and then poach people.
It's just that the young man is already Hilton's worship after all, and after what happened last time, everyone has made a lot of trouble. If you openly dig into the corners of other people's walls, spreading it will damage the reputation of the Grand Duke's Palace.
Immediately, Grand Duke Mattesias frowned, and asked suspiciously: "That young man named Anthony, didn't he say that he had no talent for cultivating magic and fighting spirit at all?" The great strength he is known for comes from the inheritance of his own bloodline. How is it that now it seems that his magical talent is so good that it is almost unbelievable? ”
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and quickly searched his mind for information about this young genius. In the end, he replied in confusion: "This, my subordinates don't know." ”
In another room, not far from Grand Duke Mattsias, there were also some people who cared about what was happening in the compound of the Drunken Fragrance Building.
And the focus of their closure is also the much-anticipated young genius Anthony.
Unlike the Grand Duke, they looked at Anthony with less appreciation and expectation, and more vigilance and worry.
One of them, a tall man who seemed to be the leader of the crowd, stared at Anthony with his eyes fixed, and said without looking back: "The situation has changed, hurry up and report back to the Marquis." That kid isn't some kind of 'double scrap', at least he's so talented in magic that he's amazing. I don't know if it was the change in his physique caused by the awakening of his bloodline, or if he originally hid his own strength. In either case, it is necessary to revise the overall evaluation of that kid. Did you hear it all? ”
A person behind him bowed and replied, "Yes!" Heard clearly. ”
The leader waved his hand back and said, "Go." ”
The man gave his hand again, turned and opened the door, and walked out.
After a long time, the leader turned around, walked back to the round table in the room, and sat down slowly.
There was an extremely burly man sitting at the table. The leader was already tall among ordinary people. But compared to this man, it's like a delicate little girl.
While the man was eating and drinking by himself, the leader and the group went to the window to check, and he didn't lift his head. Obviously, his identity is not comparable to that of a large number of followers.
When the leader sat down again, the man wiped his mouth and said in a relaxed tone: "I said second brother, do you need to be so solemn?" Since he is the person of the nasty Hilton family, regardless of whether he is a genius or not, or has potential talent or something, let me go up and kill him, there will be no threat. Even if he is really a Silver Beginner, I don't believe that he can stop me with an axe. ”
The leader gave him a blank look, shook his head, and said, "This is the city of Edinburgh, right under the nose of the Grand Duke." If you come here like this, you will be captured by the Duke's guards when the time comes, but don't blame us for not saving you. ”
The man said with a stupid face: "Okay, count that kid lucky." ”
Then he lowered his head and fought bitterly with the wine and food on the table. 9261314tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
