Chapter 26: A New Direction
"How did you meet my mother?" Dylan looked at Carlos curiously.
Carlos's face glowed with a faint red light: "Your mother was a peerless face back then, and those who pursued her could form a battle group." I was one of them, but your mother always treated me like an older brother. ”
Dylan couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and after a long time, this guy turned out to be his father's rival in love.
As soon as Elena was mentioned, Carlos immediately had endless topics to talk about.
He told Dylan about Elena's pursuit by countless young men, and also told him about Elena's powerful attainments in the magic of the Holy Light system, and said that he once fought with Dylan's father in order to compete for Elena, and finally the two big men were both carried down in the martial arts arena.
And many, many more.
Dylan was already curious about his mother, and now that someone is willing to tell about his mother's deeds, Dylan naturally listens very carefully.
After a long time, Carlos sighed heavily, there was no way, everyone had already died, and only these memories that stayed in his mind could be used to remember.
Carlos suddenly smiled and looked at Dylan, "But it's okay, you look more like your mother, and you're much more handsome than your rough father." ”
Dylan looked embarrassed, knowing that his father was in the City of North Wind, which was notoriously handsome and chic. Since the death of her mother, there have been many aristocratic women who have secretly sent autumn waves to their fathers, and even thrown them into their arms, but their fathers have never been tempted.
Dylan looked at himself, his height was not outstanding, he could only be regarded as a delicate face, and his physique was not as strong as his peers, and he seemed to be a little far behind his father.
As if he had seen through Dylan's thoughts, Carlos smiled and touched his head: "You are still young now, when you are two years older, your body and face will gradually grow, and your appearance will definitely be much stronger than your father, believe me!"
After saying that, Carlos took the lead and walked towards the secret door: "Okay, it's time to introduce you to those brothers, and there will be a simple welcome ceremony." ”
Dylan hurriedly followed Carlos back to the Gopher Tavern.
Dylan had just walked out of the secret door when he saw that all eyes in the tavern were focused on him. The origin of the person who was able to let Carlos talk alone for so long was definitely not simple, and they were all very curious about Dylan's true identity.
Carlos raised his voice slightly: "Everyone, I would like to introduce you to a new friend, a newcomer who has just decided to join our Arcane Brotherhood, and he is Dylan!"
When Carlos said the last, he pointed a finger at Dylan, who looked confused.
In the face of so many suspicious, speculative, and scrutinizing eyes, Dylan really felt uncomfortable, standing in place awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
Carlos walked up to Dylan and whispered, "Don't be nervous, the people here will take care of you in the future, and you have to get along with them well." ”
Encouraged by Carlos, Dylan calmed his mood and then said, "Hello everyone, my name is Dylan, and I am a shadow mage. ”
Hearing the words "Shadow Mage", there was a burst of exclamations in the tavern, such a young Shadow Mage is indeed very rare.
Carlos was very pleased with the reaction of others. He then added, "Dylan is a genius, at the age of thirteen this year, he is already a third-level shadow mage!"
The astonishment in the tavern was louder.
"What? Shadow Mage III? How is this possible?"
"He's only thirteen years old, and he's already a third-level shadow mage?
...
Carlos said with a smile: "Our little brother Dylan is still a foundry, and he will definitely make a great contribution to the development of our brotherhood in the future." To be able to recruit him to join our Arcane Brotherhood today is definitely something to celebrate. Brothers, let's raise a glass together!"
For a moment, cheers erupted in the tavern, and everyone drank happily.
At this moment, the lean man who was originally guarding outside the door also walked in, glanced at Dylan coldly, and said, "Little brother, how about we make a move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man appeared in front of Dylan's eyes like a ghost, and Dylan recited the incantation almost instinctively, and then disappeared in an instant.
The lean man was surprised: "The third-level shadow secret technique has disappeared?
When Dylan reappeared, he was already standing at the counter of the tavern: "Please take care of everyone in the future." ”
There was a cheer in the tavern.
The lean man slowly walked up to Dylan, then held out a hand.
Dylan knew the rules of the Brotherhood and immediately shook it with him, his thumb arcing over the back of his hand.
However, when the two of them parted hands, Dylan found that he had an extra dagger in his hand that emitted a light purple light.
Dylan was about to speak, but the man had already turned around, turned his back to him and waved his hand: "It's a gift from Benjamin to you, no thanks!"
When the man left the tavern again, Carlos walked up to Dylan and said with a smile, "This Benjamin has always been extremely discerning, and he wouldn't take it seriously to ordinary people." The fact that he is willing to give you this dagger with a shadow circle attached to it shows that he really appreciates you. ”
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that Benjamin is also a shadow mage, a seventh-level mage. However, he prefers to be an assassin who kills people with shadow spells rather than being a mage. ”
Dylan looked at the purple dagger in his hand, felt the shadow magic on the dagger fluctuate, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
This Arcane Brotherhood is really interesting!
Before leaving, Carlos gave Dylan a metal tag engraved with a black flame, saying that it was a status symbol of the Arcane Brotherhood and asked him to keep it safe.
Saying goodbye to Carlos, Dylan soon returned to Rick's blacksmith shop.
Seeing that Colin slept very sweetly, Dylan was also very satisfied.
Lying in bed, I thought back to the time I came to the City of Light, and there were indeed many stories that happened to me.
He first used the shadow magic to teach his nemesis Lawson, then became good friends with the goblin Colin, and then met Carlos, who was also a shadow mage, and joined the Arcane Brotherhood in a daze.
Dylan looked out the window at the night, and felt like he was in a dream.
Before coming to the Imperial Capital, when he first started learning magic in the City of North Wind, he was recognized as a genius by everyone. However, in the magic test, all the faces of the Green family were lost, and the whole person fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley at once. And after coming to the imperial capital, he became a third-level shadow mage and rediscovered his purpose and hope.
Between the ups and downs, it really makes people sigh, it seems that life is so interesting, and it always brings people all kinds of tribulations and surprises.
Dylan withdrew his thoughts and slowly closed his eyes. My new life is about to officially begin, and tomorrow will definitely be a better day.
