Count Lucas stretched out his hand to accept it, he didn't look at the name and time engraved on the bottle at all, but directly pulled out the cork and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "Twenty years of 'burning' is my favorite." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Theseus, I liked it, thank you for the gift. ”

"Your liking is my pleasure, Grandpa Lucas. Hughes bowed slightly, and then sat down beside the old lady.

"Nalco, you can sit too, don't stand all the time, don't you have a very strange relationship with me?" Count Lucas suddenly noticed that Nalco was still standing, and hurriedly invited him to sit down, his tone feigned anger.

"Nalco, sit down quickly, how many years of friends, are you still polite to Luca and me?" the old lady also urged.

Hughes quickly nodded at Nalco, who was looking at him, and then he chose a corner of the sofa and sat down, and thanked him.

"Nalco, yesterday you said that Gael's children were here, and I was still complaining about why you didn't bring Theseus, but you told me a bullshit reason. I didn't expect you to change your mind again today, that's just like words. Are we not friends in the skin of this nobility?Isn't Gale my most proud student?" Count Lucas laughed at Nalco as soon as the servants had finished the tea.

"Hey, you're now the dean of the Royal Family Warrior Academy, how can I make trouble for you during the enrollment period? Besides, isn't it good to be like this now, haven't you also met Young Master Xius?" Nalco sighed and explained with a wry smile.

"Hmph, you're still a good acquaintance, or I'll teach you a lesson, hehe!" Count Lucas laughed. That expression, Theseus, seemed to be a small pride, like a child who had been accommodated. The rest of the Earl's family only looked at it with a smile, and none of them went over to quietly remind the Count of the problem of image.

Hughes had a gentle smile on his face all the time, but he was speechless about it in his heart. He finally had a preliminary understanding of Lady Cynthia's assessment of Count Lucas. This elderly earl, a great swordsman, really wrote everything directly on his face, a child's performance. And his family was obviously deeply affected by it, at least they were accustomed to such laughter and scolding.

"I heard that you were only fourteen years old, right?" At this moment, Aunt Qili, the wife of Uncle Jinson, suddenly asked with a smile, and her words immediately attracted the attention of the others.

"Yes, Aunt Kirly, I'll be 14 years old soon. Hughes smiled and nodded at the lady. He had a good impression of Aunt Qili, and facing her was like facing a clear and blue lake, with ripples on the surface of the water and a gentle breath everywhere.

Aunt Qili's eyes lit up, and she asked her husband Jin Sen again: "Then, at such an age, to be able to enter the Royal Family Warrior Academy, Xiusi's innate conditions must be very superior, right?"

Jin Sen smiled and nodded: "There is no doubt that Xiusi is one in a hundred cultivation geniuses. However, you should not ask me this question, but your father and Aceria, who know best the college's recruitment criteria. Should it be a level 5 warrior, father?"

Count Lucas smiled and nodded: "Gale has given birth to a good son." The next generation of many aristocratic families with excellent inheritances cannot continue the excellent cultivation qualifications of their ancestors. The time is not far off for the Horton family to achieve another success. ”

The old lady and Aunt Qili didn't know much about cultivation. But Jin Sen and Asilia, who knew the subtleties, couldn't help but look at Xius with different colors. The evaluation just given by Count Lucas is very high, and under normal circumstances, a high-ranking and powerful minister of the kingdom should not say such a straightforward and positive evaluation.

That is, people like Count Lucas, everyone is used to it!

"Uncle Kinson, you're too much of an award. This time I came to the Royal Family Warrior Academy, I met many teenagers who were better than me, and compared to them, I am ashamed of your praise for me. Hughes hurriedly thanked him and expressed his humility. He had to interject quickly, otherwise he would be praised to the sky, but it would really be difficult to come down.

Count Lucas waved his hand disapprenously: "Alas~, words can't be said like this." Our Royal Warrior Academy recruits students from all over the kingdom, and nine times out of ten, the best children from all over the world are with us. You can be proud to be a part of it. You don't have to always think about competing with all the best peers. Since you can come in, your talent has been affirmed by us old fellows, then, the height of your future life depends largely on your efforts. It's too early to say who is better than you. ”

Huston felt the teaching, and hurriedly saluted the Earl.

"Also, I see that your fighting spirit has been condensed, and the growth rate is also very fast, and the foundation of a level 5 warrior has been consolidated very well, I believe that at most, in a month or two, you will be able to reach the level of a level 6 warrior. At your age, you're definitely a genius, and you don't have to be too modest. We cultivators must not only be humble, but also arrogant at times, and those who have no ambition will not be able to become masters. You have to keep that in mind. "Count Lucas taught Hughes one after another.

Xius nodded frequently, some of the views he had not heard, but some of the views coincided with what his father had said and what he had understood, which made Xius admire.

"Level 6 warriors, you can be a squad leader in the legion, Xius, you can't be unsatisfied, the road is step by step. If you go fast, you may not be able to reach the end!" Jin Sen answered with a smile, his tone was relaxed, but the truth contained in the last sentence caught the attention of Xiusi. He thanked the uncle with a serious expression.

The husband and son successively brought the topic to cultivation, which made the old lady very dissatisfied, she patted the armrest of the sofa, and after attracting everyone's attention, she smiled and said: "Okay, okay, okay, the matter of cultivation, you will talk about it slowly when you get to school in the future, don't you have at least three years? I haven't seen them in years, and I miss them so much. ”

Count Lucas shook his head and sighed: "The years are not forgiving, in the blink of an eye, Gael and they have left the school, and they have all become generals by now." And we, on the other hand, are gray-haired. ”

These words couldn't help but be a little frustrating, and they had some impact on the pleasant atmosphere of the guests, and Aunt Qili immediately smiled and said, "Father, you are laughing again, the white-haired great sword master is still the great sword master!"

"Haha, you're right! I'm talking nonsense again!" said Count Lucas, smiling heartily.

"Is your mother Betty alright?" asked the old lady emotionally, the fine wrinkles on her face spread out with a smile, full of brilliance, as if recalling the good memories of the past, the smell of the happy times, intoxicated her.

"Mother is very nice, and she misses you very much. Although Mother didn't tell me much about you, Mother was always happy whenever Father mentioned your name. "Hughes is telling a white little lie here. Even Count Lucas knew it for the first time, so how could he know about his wife? From his father and Nalco's attitude towards Count Lucas, as well as Grandma Riley's attitude when she talked about her mother, he deduced that this was probably the case. It's just that because I'm still young, my mother hasn't told me anything about the royal capital.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain a little about his father, just knowing that he should train and train again, but he didn't know that before coming to the royal capital, he would explain all the previous stories and relationships, and he would be prepared. Otherwise, where would he use it like now, he would have to risk saying something wrong and turn his brain to guess.

"Yes? I knew that Betty's kind girl couldn't forget me. It's a pity that since that incident, she hasn't been to the royal capital. It's a pity!" Grandma Laili sighed as she rubbed the corners of her reddened eyes.

Hughes's heart moved, and he looked at Nalco, who nodded imperceptibly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull because of the sadness of the old wife, Count Lucas interjected loudly: "What are you talking about? Theseus, your Grandma Riley just misses her elves so much, and when you write home, ask Betty to write to your Riley Grandma too, okay?"

Xius hurriedly nodded in agreement, he also felt that it was time to write a letter to his mother about the situation after coming here, so that she could rest assured.

"Well, what about your father, how is he now?" asked Count Lucas, smiling again.

"My dad is very nice, and although he is still busy, he spends a lot more time at home than before. As for his work, my father never said anything when he came home, so I don't know. Hughes laughed.

Count Lucas nodded, and was about to speak, when Uncle Kinson suddenly interjected, "I heard that your father has been promoted to the Great Sword Master?"

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere in the room was suddenly suffocated, and everyone carefully observed Xiusi's expression, consciously or unconsciously, especially Jinsen, who even looked directly at Xiusi, his eyes were extremely sharp, and a powerful momentum was brewing around him. This made Huston feel a faint pressure. However, Hughes keenly sensed that this pressure was not malicious, but more like a simple fighting spirit and unconvinced.

Xius's smile still faded, even if there was no malice, this kind of behavior was of course impolite. He raised his hand and pressed it down gently, signaling that Nalco didn't have to react.

The women were silent, and Aunt Alicia's eyes sparkled with excitement like a man. Aunt Qili frowned slightly, and she looked at the old lady. Grandma Riley's brow furrowed, and after waiting for a moment, she looked at Count Lucas, whose expression was flat.

There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiusi's mouth, he deliberately waited for a moment, and after finding that Jinsen still maintained that momentum, he finally decided to give the other party an ambiguous statement. Of course, he knew that his father was already a great swordsman, but if he said it because of pressure, it seemed to give people the impression of weakness and deception. But if you don't say it and just hold each other, it seems that you don't have enough respect for the earl's family.

Thinking of this, Theseus sighed inwardly. Nalco was right, even if they were excellent friends in the past, the relationship between the two sides would change as their strength and status continued to change. Just like now, this Uncle Jinsen has begun to use a little means to get the information he wants, and he doesn't care much about Hughes's feelings.

With a faint smile on his face, he said to Jin Sen, whose expression remained unchanged: "You know my strength, but you can't tell the level of a high-level warrior, even to my father. And, although I had heard the news, it was not what my father told me personally. It's not clear to me myself whether I should believe it or not. ”

If he is smart enough, I believe that this Uncle Jinsen has understood the subconscious meaning of his words. If the other party's wisdom can't even understand such words, then it's even more of his business. It was impossible for Hughes to say it directly, not even from the family of Count Lucas. He has shown enough respect. If the other party embarrasses him again, it will not be rude, but an offense, and I believe that the Earl will not let this happen.

"Is that ......," said Jinson, frowning and glancing at the earl, but his father said nothing. When he wanted to ask more clearly, the old lady patted the armrest of the sofa impatiently, and the voice was very small, but Jin Sen shrank his neck and immediately swallowed his words back.

After that, everyone didn't mention this matter again, and the content of the conversation revolved around the anecdotes of the academy and the royal capital, which was also an eye-opener for Xiusi, and the atmosphere in the room gradually recovered, and everyone became intimate again.

Lunch was served at Count Lucas's house. According to Aunt Alicia, Grandma Riley's skills are not inferior to those of high-end restaurant chefs, and the food she makes is delicious and beautiful. However, Hughes could only imagine in his mind that Grandma Riley was in her 60s, and it was impossible for Hughes to cook for herself. Even Sister Laili is willing, the people in the Earl's family are willing, and Xius can't afford such a big gift, so he must resign.

Sitting in the carriage of the Hui Ming General's Hotel, Theseus leaned on the carriage with his eyes closed and pretended to sleep, while Nalco sat quietly beside him, frowning slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

About ten minutes after the carriage left the Earl's Palace, Hughes suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What is Count Lucas's son, Kinson, doing? Why haven't they been introduced? Also, is there only one son in the Earl's family?"

When he was asleep just now, he had been thinking about some of the situations during his previous visit.

Nothing unusual seemed to anyone in Count Lucas's house. The Count himself has a calm and calm temperament, the old lady is kind and kind, and Alicia is more neutral. Only that Jin Sen seems to be very bold, and he dares to do some tricks in front of his father. You know, the oppressive temptation of guests is generally used on those who are not in the right way to their own home. And Jin Sen used it on him recklessly, without any scruples, until the old lady was dissatisfied, and this kind of behavior that had been pressed into the line was greatly lost to Jin Sen himself.

Nalco seemed to know that the young master would have this question, and without thinking about it, he blurted out his answer: "Jinsen has the title of baron......"

Hughes turned his head, he looked at Nalco, and asked in surprise: "He's a baron? Just kidding! One and two lords, even if it's a high-ranking title and a low-level title, this is not something that ordinary nobles can have! Count Lucas is still alive and well, where does Jinson's title come from? Could it be that he has made any great achievements? By the way, is he in the army, I feel that his cultivation is very strong!"
