236 Watson's Ambition
The sun came out and shone warmly on the neighborhood.
The orange light fell brilliantly, rendering the dilapidated houses in the neighborhood a faint layer of gold, and when you look at it, there is a unique beauty, because a heavy rain has washed away the garbage everywhere in the streets, but this beauty is only this moment, in the morning when the rain has passed, when the sun climbs into the sky, the smell of the sun rising on the ground is a little unpleasant.
Watson Strong stood on the balcony on the second floor, his hands on the railing, his neck moved, he looked up at the half of the sun rising on the sea in the distance, looked at the glow of the sky, yawned a lot, tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, he blinked, and let the tears flow.
Then, he raised his hand to remove his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
"Doctor, are you alright?"
Beside him, a woman was talking softly.
Watson sniffed, holding back his weariness, and looked back, and Natalie stepped forward under his gaze, also leaning on the railing, looking at the glow in the distance, standing side by side with him.
After a moment, she turned and smiled at Watson.
"Doctor, I'm tired of you, and I thank you on behalf of those sisters......"
Watson waved his hand and smiled as well.
"It's okay, it should be!"
In fact, he was in a trance now, and he didn't understand what was going on, and after being tired for most of the night, after completing the first aid for those women who were more serious and needed immediate treatment, he ended the tension he had been having, and his tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.
While it was time for breakfast, he came out to look at the sun, and took the time to rest, ready to think about what was going on.
Last night, as usual, he experimented in the basement until midnight, and went back to his room to sleep, and soon after he slept, he was woken up by his apprentice, Thomson Duran.
Everyone has a wake-up gas, and Watson is no exception.
At the beginning, the reason why he took in the two sisters, Thomson and Scarlett, was mainly for the sake of Ryan Charle's face.
If he really was an ordinary doctor in a ghetto clinic, he might have ignored Ryan Shire, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and had no deterrent appearance.
However, this is not the case with Watson Strong, who worked as a military medic and fought with Iris in the New World, and most importantly, he had a big half-brother named Charlotte Strong.
This one is the high-level of Iris, a five-star detective, and the pride of the Strong family.
Yes, Watson was an illegitimate child, similar to Ryan Charles's background, except that his father John Strong was not as ruthless and unrighteous as Klein Leslie, but had always paid for their mother and son, and served Watson to attend the best medical school in the French Empire, and then, through connections, made him a peripheral member of Iris, receiving a salary.
Unfortunately, he didn't have as much luck as his big brother, Charlotte Strong.
Charlotte Strong was born with a bright future, a well-deserved heir to the Strong family, and even more fortunate that he was detected with extraordinary talent when he was five years old, at that time, John Strong was serving at Iris, a high-ranking civilian official, responsible for the operation of Iris, responsible for the communication between the headquarters and the royal family.
He was just a baron, but he held such a heavy position.
This is because the Strong family has been a servant of the Louis family for generations, yes, it is the Louis, the French royal family, so the Strong family is actually the court nobles.
This kind of small nobles did not have fiefdoms, but they had a lot of annuities.
However, the most important income came from the brokers, because they were around the royal family, and others had to pass through them to get close to the royal family, even families like Philip and Leslie could not be seen by the emperor, and had to be conveyed through court nobles like the Strong family.
Of course, not only the Strong family is a court noble, there are many court nobles serving the Louis family in the Holy Spring Palace, and each big family has its own channels.
Some even secretly became the spokesmen of those huge families.
After all, powerful dukes like the Philip family and the Leslie family, even the royal family and nobles would not dare to offend, especially in the previous era, these big families had their own fiefdoms, their own people, their own armies, their own secret realms, and their own transcendent warbands......
Moreover, they can bring a lot of income to these court nobles!
They gave them even more than the royal family, and of course, the reason why they were able to get these benefits was also because of their relationship with the royal family.
However, some court nobles did not put themselves in the right position and could not resist certain coercion and temptations.
Therefore, the nobility of the court is not long-lasting, and in the Holy Spring Palace, where Louis is located, old families often disappear, and new families are added.
The Strong family has always been in the right position of their own family, and every baron has served Louis with all his heart, only taking a penny that he should get, and not mixing things that he should not be involved in, so although the Strong family has a poor reputation among the court nobles, and not every Louis will regard them as confidants, however, their position is very secure.
If the Palace of the Holy Springs is a circle with Louis as the center, the radius of the circle is about one meter, and the closer it is to the center of the circle, the greater the power, and the Strong family is located about half a meter away from the center of the circle, neither near the very center, nor at the edge of the circle.
It's not up or down, it's just right!
Well, that's the mantra of Watson Strong's father, John Strong.
Iris is directly under the royal family, equivalent to the royal family's transcendent team, and he can be in charge of Iris, which is equivalent to the royal family's recognition of his ability.
Ordinary court nobles, if they hold real positions and stay away from the Holy Spring Palace, they are equivalent to being expelled from the court, and they are not real court nobles, and they have lost Louis's protection.
John Strong, on the other hand, was not the case, even though he was in a real position and did not wander around Louis, however, the free entry and exit of the Palace of the Holy Springs was not withdrawn, that is, he was still a member of the court nobility, still trusted by Louis, and still the stars next to the moon.
The son was found to be extraordinarily talented, and for the Strong family, this was a great opportunity to change the family's fortunes.
If the former Strong family is a vine wrapped around the body of a big tree, the basis of power comes from the big tree named Louie, and the fate of his own family is all in Louie's thoughts, which can make you go straight to the sky at any time, and can also knock you down to the dust at any time, and you must also take the blame for him at any time.
In many cases, the mistakes of the royal family were not mistakes, but the mistakes of court nobles like the Strong family.
In the past 100 years, because of the rapid development of magic stone technology, the communication and transportation in various places have become fast, and it used to take more than ten days to ride a war horse and gallop, but now, it can be arrived in less than a day.
The railway from the imperial capital of Bahrain to Reims City is under construction, which is an important transportation artery connecting the north and south of the French Empire.
In times of great change, it would be foolish to entrust one's fate to someone else, even if that person is Louis royalty.
After all, that kind of scenery is just a sand tower on the beach, and when a wave hits, there is nothing!
However, if you have a powerful transcendent in your family, it is different, even if it is still a building on the beach, the foundation is not stable, after all, it is not something that can be washed away by one or two waves, that is, your ability to bear risks is greatly enhanced, and if you are strong enough to a certain extent, you can even turn the loose sand under your feet into hard granite.
It's like the Newton family in the British Empire.
York Newton was nothing more than a small baron, like the Strong family, without a fief, a so-called court nobleman, and his father was a frustrated man who was expelled from the court by Edward IX.
What now?
Now the Newton family is one of the largest families in the British Empire, with the title of duke, although the Duke of Newton's fiefs are mostly overseas, all of them are some foreign land, however, they are not some poor and remote land, they are all rich land, with large areas of plantations.
Moreover, the Newton family was very powerful in the British Navy.
In addition, there are several companies and trading companies behind the scenes, all of which come from York Newton, a master of alchemy, the founder of magic stone technology, and a powerful transcendent who is called a saint by the British, and it is because of him that the British Empire has developed rapidly, from an ordinary island country to a powerful empire with colonies all over the world, and at a certain stage, even beat the overlord of Noah's continent, the French Empire.
So, Charlotte Strong became the hope of the entire Strong family.
All the resources are piled up on him, and Charlotte lives up to expectations, and at the age of thirty, she has broken through the fourth order and become an intermediate-level transcendent, and now, she is already the five-star detective of Iris.
The transcendent has nine orders, one, two, three are primary, four, five, six are intermediate, seven, eighty, nine are advanced, and beyond the ninth order is legendary.
York Newton is also a legend.
Once in a thousand years!
Legendary Newton......
This is Watson's ambition, and it is also the goal he strives for, if a person can become extraordinary without extraordinary talent, and can accomplish this feat, will he not be comparable to York Newton?
Ambition?
Desire?
Or maybe it's a joke?
Watson's gaze looked over Natalie's shoulder, and on the other side of the balcony, Landingale was also looking at the distant sky, and he knew her.
Christy Philip's Transcendent Bodyguard?
No!
She is the street girl Fantine, an ordinary person!
Once, he was her guest.
