The candle burned, emitting a faint dim glow that illuminated Neo WWwlā

There were very few things in the room, a single bed, a table, a wardrobe, and a one-handed sword in the corner, which was probably the most valuable item in Neo's room.

Neo, dressed in simple clothes, sat on the edge of the bed, staring at his own shadow on the wall.

Neo has been a bit irritable lately, a bit of a loser.

The reason was a letter, an acceptance letter from the College of San Falos.

Three days earlier, in the morning, an owl had brought a letter, much to Neo's surprise, because the owl had been seen so often these days.

During training, at lunchtime, and when he was galloping, he could see the owl not far from him.

I thought it was just fate, but now I found out that this owl was actually observing him.

Neo was a son of the Fiposian family, a traditional nobleman, and Neo's grandfather, Dro Fipos, was a viscount of high status and was known in the family's castle.

The old viscount had three sons and a daughter, the eldest son became the captain of the army when he joined the army and was the mainstay of the army, the second son was in business in the city and managed the viscount's shops, and the younger son was a magician.

It stands to reason that such a family, the ancestors are highly respected, and the younger generations are talented, and the family should be prosperous, but this is definitely not the case.

The reason lies with the viscount's youngest son.

The Viscount's youngest son, Neo's younger uncle, was found to have a talent for magic since he was a child, was recruited by the city's magic academy, and after eight years of mage training, became a first-order magician.

On the day when the brother-in-law returned, the whole Viscount Castle was happy for him, and the Viscount also held a banquet and invited people from several well-connected families to come together.

I thought that the family had another talent, and it would become more prosperous in the future, and the old viscount was also happy, but the reality was the opposite of what the old viscount imagined.

The uncle, who became a magician, became pretentious and arrogant. At first, it was okay, but the old viscount felt that young people had such a period of time, and the younger son would always grow up again. The two brothers also tolerated him.

But as time went on, the situation not only did not improve, but became more and more severe.

Especially after failing to be promoted to a second-order magician and hurting the spirit sea and unable to advance again, Neo's brother-in-law became radical and began to compete with his second uncle for the rights of the family shop.

The old viscount who wanted him to try it discussed with the second uncle of Neo, and gave up a few shops for the younger uncle to try.

At the beginning, it was not bad, the business was very prosperous, and the old viscount was also very pleased, only the second uncle was a little anxious during that time.

Not long after, an earl of the city came to the door to ask for advice. It turned out that the reason why the uncle's business was so prosperous was that he hooked up with the people who managed the store under the earl, and filled their pockets in a way that harmed the earl's interests.

The Earl was furious when he found out, and immediately solved his subordinates and went to the door to tell the old viscount about it.

It can be seen how much profit Uncle Neo must have stolen from the Count.

The old viscount paid a great price to appease the earl's anger.

After this incident, Neo's brother-in-law hid in the castle all day, and during this time gave birth to a grandson to the old viscount.

After a few more years, the old viscount felt that this was not bad, the eldest son had a lot of military achievements in the army, and the position was captain, and the second son was also very powerful. In the next generation, the descendants of the youngest son have been found to have a talent for magic, and in a few years they will be able to study at the Academy of Magic.

The family seems to be developing in the direction of prosperity again.

However, a bad news made the old viscount feel that the world was spinning.

The eldest son, who served in the army, died heroically in battle!

Not only did the old viscount lose his best son, but the family also lost its next generation, its heir.

While the old viscount was in a state of grief, Neo's brother-in-law reappeared, and in order to become the heir to the title, he began to compete with Neo's second uncle for more rights.

Although the younger uncle does not understand the family business, he is a magician, and in the case of Viscount Dro's loss of his eldest son, the family is already inseparable from Neo's uncle, and with this powerful relationship, Neo's uncle began to gain the upper hand in the struggle with Neo's second uncle.

Moreover, he also had the support of an earl, and as for what kind of deal it was, the old viscount did not want to know, nor did he want to know, because it was nothing more than a set that harmed the interests of the family.

Neo grew up in such a family.

Speaking of which, Neo has always been unpopular with the people in the family, and even Neo's grandfather, the old Viscount Dro, seems to have a bad eye on Neo.

Neo certainly knows why.

Neo is the son born to Viscount Dero's only daughter, but Neo's mother eloped with Neo's father to give birth to Neo.

The aristocratic girl's refusal to elope with her lover in a family-arranged marriage was a stain on the traditional aristocracy.

The key is that Neo's father not only did not make a name for himself after eloping with Neo's mother, but also caused Neo's mother to die with him, which is not good, and has become the laughing stock of other families over the years.

It's no wonder that Viscount Ross and the people of the Fipos family don't like Neo.

Although Viscount Dro took Neo back according to the family rules, after taking him back, except for providing Neo with food and clothing necessary for his life, and arranging for Neo to study, he did not give Neo any care, as if there was no Neo grandson.

Fortunately, Neo began to learn how to become a knight when he was six years old, and the knights in the family did not mess with his teachings, and trained him very strictly.

On the first day of study, Neo, who was tired and collapsed on the bed, said that if he became a knight, he would probably be able to get rid of the protection of the viscount, and then live a free life without the eyes of these people, right?

So, before receiving an offer from the Academy of San Falos, Neo's greatest wish was to become an official knight through his own efforts and leave the place.

He had never wanted to be a magician.

The notice from the academy made him very irritable, he didn't know whether he should study at the St. Pharos Academy, and after many cryptic inquiries, none of the knights in the family had heard of the so-called St. Pharos Academy, not even the oldest knight in the family.

In the end, it was the old earl who made the decision for him.

The reason is that Neo forgot to lock the door when he went out during the evening training, and was sneaked into Neo's room by the son of the third uncle, a mischievous guy who was just as arrogant as his father, and found the notice on Neo's table, which he took out to mock Neo at the family dinner.

"Do you think forging an acceptance letter shows that you are a person with the gift of a magician? St. Phalos College? Never heard of it! Would it be good to find a reliable magic academy when you forge it? A cheap seed is a cheap seed, and the brain is in water! The third uncle's youngest son said to Neo.

Although the little bastard was scolded by Uncle Neo after that, it was just a few words that didn't hurt, obviously Uncle Neo felt normal for his son to scold Neo for being a slut, and he didn't care that Neo had family blood on his body.

As soon as the admission letter came out, at the dinner table, the people of the family quickly issued all kinds of insinuating taunts to Neo, making Neo eager to draw his sword and kill them all.

Only the old earl, after rubbing his calloused hand against the delicate letter of admission to the house, threw it back to Neo, and then said one word without being salty:

"Wait!"

Viscount Drow's meaning is very simple, the admission letter clearly states that the academy will send someone to pick up Neo, so as long as the time comes, you will be able to know the truth.

The next few days were a torment for Neo, and although the knight mentor comforted him, the other family members sneered at him every time they saw him, making Neo want to draw his sword every time, but in the end he endured it.

Viscount Droz was right, wait!

If this academy really wants to admit Neo, as long as the time comes, it will naturally be known!

"Hoo ......"

Neo opened his mouth to blow out the candles, and after the room went dark, Neo lay on the bed and closed his eyes with apprehension.

Tomorrow is the day when the academy will pick up Neo.
