Chapter 32 Drunken Fragrance Building
Andres is secretly suffering from internal injuries.
Anthony was also inexplicably excited. Not only because as an acquired martial artist who has not yet stepped into cultivation, he finally succeeded in arranging a formation that belongs to the innate realm. Moreover, without the help and guidance of the system, he used the magic crystal of his own world as a material and completed it by himself.
The latter point, for Anthony, is particularly significant.
This shows that according to the standards of the other world where the mysterious "Oriental Mythology System" is located, his talent is indeed excellent.
Moreover, since the emergence of the system, although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, he has completed many promotions that a martial artist cannot complete in his life. However, in Anthony's heart, there has always been a faint uneasiness. This feeling of almost getting something for nothing makes it difficult for him to accept the strength he has. This fantastic good deed can easily smash people's heads unconscious. In the same way, it is inevitable that people will worry for no reason that one day when they wake up, everything will return to square one. The so-called good things, luck, and adventures are all just a dream of Nanke.
However, just now, these worries and uneasiness disappeared with the formation of the magic circle.
Am I Anthony? Bruce is a cultivation genius! Even without the help of the system, I was able to reach the top of the world through my own efforts!
At this moment, Anthony truly found his own self. His heart was also fulfilled at this moment. According to the system, the current Anthony's state of mind cultivation can be regarded as catching up with his strength realm.
"That's it! Let's go out and celebrate! Anthony was in the right mood and said loudly to Owen.
Although Anthony has been in Edinburgh for almost twenty days, he has no specific impression of this prosperous city that is second only to the imperial capital in the supposedly glorious empire. Except for the fact that when he first arrived, accompanied by Count Silvio and Owen and his son, he took a quick tour of the entire city, and since then he has been cultivating and studying the magic circle in the Hilton family, and has never stepped out of the family gate.
"Okay." Owen naturally agreed, "Elder, will you come with you too?" ”
Andres waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you young people go to play, what am I doing with an old man." ”
With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly.
Anthony and Owen looked at him as a worldly master, and walked out of the "Star Picking Pavilion", secretly amused in their hearts.
There is a huge age difference between the three people, and it is really difficult to enjoy playing together. But the more important reason is probably because the old man lost the gamble just now, lost face, and was a little embarrassed to continue to stay with the two young people.
Although this dead old man has a bit of a short temper, he has a straightforward personality, and he can say whatever he thinks in his heart, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns. From Anthony's point of view, it is much cuter than those personable nobles.
Anthony ignored him and lowered his head to put away the messed up crystals. Owen also came to help clean up.
Speaking of which, although this phantom array was finally broken by Andres, its power was even more powerful than originally expected. You must know that this is just an undisguised flat land, and the gambling between the two sides is out of the nature of the game, coupled with Anthony's beginnership, which makes it a few notches less difficult to break the formation.
If you change to a mountainous or jungle field, it is not impossible for Andres to break in unprepared, and finally be trapped in the formation.
Not to mention anything else, even if there was a gamble like that just now, as long as Anthony dug a small pit in the ground and hid the magic crystal in the array, Andres would probably be tragic......
After packing up, the two did not take the carriage or the entourage, and went straight out of the gate.
Not long after walking, Anthony came to an exquisite building called "Drunken Fragrance Building" under the guidance of Owen, the local snake.
Just by hearing the name, you can probably guess that this is a tavern. Of course, it's not just about eating and drinking. If you are drunk and want to find a place to rest, "Zuixiang Building" can also provide accommodation rooms. If the guest has some other special requests, such as finding a beautiful cutie to sleep with, as long as you have enough money in your pocket, there is no problem.
It can be said that this is a good place for comprehensive, high-grade pastime and entertainment.
Of course, it is also one of the properties under the name of the Hilton family.
The patriarch's son-in-law is a big leader, and the "drunken fragrance building" goes up to the shopkeeper and down to the gatekeeper, and naturally they are all warm and attentive.
Owen knew that Anthony hadn't visited Edinburgh City much, so he asked the shopkeeper to open a private room with a wide view on the fifth floor on the top.
The two sat down separately, and Owen casually ordered a few specialty dishes in the building, and sent the shopkeeper out.
Originally, the smiling and blessed shopkeeper wanted to arrange a beautiful girl for each of them to accompany the wine, but Owen noticed that Anthony's brows were slightly furrowed, and he immediately scolded and refused. The shopkeeper had no choice but to retreat while confessing his guilt.
After a while, the wine and food came up. The two drank and ate while enjoying the bustling scenery of Edinburgh.
By this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and every house in the city was lit up, and the shops on both sides of the street were brightly lit. From above, the whole city of Edinburgh looks like a starry sky, bright and tranquil.
Anthony enjoyed the stunning night view with great interest.
In other words, Anthony's previous life circle was pitifully small. In addition to the remote town where he was born, he has also been to Hengling City. Even if it was a county town that was not too far away, he had never been there because of his discord with the main lineage of the Bruce family.
Not to mention the small town, there may be natural scenery, but the prosperity scene is completely indescribable. Hengling City, as a barrier and fortress against the demonic beasts of Hengling, is completely built and developed in the direction of militarization, at most, even if there are many people and lively. Where can it compare to a big city like Edinburgh City.
Owen looked at him with admiration on his face and said, "In terms of the glorious empire, the wealth and commercial development of Edinburgh City are not much worse than those of the imperial capital. But in terms of the size and weather of the city, it may not be in the top ten in the whole empire. If you count the entire continent, it is not ranked at all. Just like the capital of our neighbor Helsinki, which covers more than 10 times the size of the city of Edinburgh, that's really, tsk! ”
Owen was immersed in the memories with a look of intoxication.
Anthony gave him a faint look and gently lowered his chopsticks. Holding a wine glass, he walked to the window facing the street, silently watching the crowd coming and going on the street below.
"You've probably investigated my past experience clearly. You don't have to be nervous, and you don't have to rush to deny. I don't have any complaints about that. After all, it is an indispensable process to recruit an offering that is extremely important to the family, and to understand the details of the target powerhouse. If you hadn't, I'd have looked down on you. ”
Anthony's eyes were still on the street, his glass slowly turning in his hand.
"From a very young age, I learned that I had no talent for cultivating Dou Qi and magic at all, do you know what I thought? Ambition? Abandoning the military and following the text?
"No, I studied and studied all the materials, books, and notes I could find, and tried everything I could. I have tried to cultivate Dou Qi magic according to the regular method, and I have also tried to refer to some partial methods to cultivate. I don't believe that bullshit talent is everything, I firmly believe that as long as I am willing to work hard and use my brain to figure out how to figure it out, I will definitely become a top fighter or a magician who is in the limelight.
"Unfortunately, I didn't make any breakthroughs until I was 16 years old. Rather, it was an unexpected thing that allowed me to grow by leaps and bounds, and I no longer had to worry about becoming a fighter or a magician. ”
Speaking of this, Anthony's tone was a little melancholy. It seems that I regret that I have not been able to conclusively verify the theory that "hard work will win".
And the unexpected thing in his mouth naturally refers to the sudden advent of the "Oriental mythological system". However, to Owen's ears, he took it for granted that he was referring to the awakening of the bloodline.
Anthony broke free from his stunned mood and continued: "I am telling you this to tell you, and the Hilton family behind you: my pursuit of power is far beyond the limits of what you think. And the ultimate goal I pursue is also far beyond your imagination. Therefore, the desire for beauty, glory and wealth, comfort and pleasure, etc., as long as they hinder my path, will be abandoned by me. So, please rest assured. ”
Owen's gentle smile froze.
He didn't expect that this young man was not only unfathomable in strength, but also thoughtful and sharp, which was equally terrifying from the bottom of his heart.
After a period of contact, especially the long conversation on the road to Edinburgh, and the conflict with Elder Andres, Owen had a better understanding of Anthony's temperament.
He knew very well that if he cleverly arranged for people to do something, in order to test the boy's personality likes and dislikes, or to increase the boy's favor and identification with the Hilton family. In the end, I am afraid that it will be clumsy and make the young man leave the family without any nostalgia.
Therefore, the shopkeeper's claim just now was not at Owen's behest. And the evaluation of Edinburgh City is also just a trend.
But it is undeniable that Owen is indeed observing Anthony's character through these events that are not deliberately arranged. And from the perspective of family interests, it also vaguely reminds Anthony not to indulge in a small "harbor" like Edinburgh City, there is a wider ocean waiting for the promising teenager to go outside.
Unexpectedly, Anthony was keenly aware of his intentions and said such a passage that seemed to be both a statement and an expression of dissatisfaction.
Even though Anthony had his back to him and his tone was calm and indifferent, Owen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back. If he said such a thing, Anthony was dissatisfied and even left angrily, and his father and Elder Andres were afraid that they would not be skinning themselves!
Just when the young master of Hilton didn't know what to do, there was a commotion from downstairs, breaking the cold atmosphere in the room.
"Huh! What are they doing? Anthony asked curiously. It seems that there is no displeasure.
