Chapter 12: Father and Son
Morey's entourage traveled day and night and finally arrived at the Saber Fort.
"Little Master Morey, the eldest young master is waiting for you in the study." Andy plays the role of steward at the castle gates. In fact, Saber Fort, as a fortress, did not have the position of steward at all.
Morey walked briskly into the castle and ran to the study on the second floor.
"Father!" Morey finally meets his long-lost relative, the man who gave him a sense of belonging.
"I'm back, sit down!" For his son, Ireh has a special affection.
Before Morey's resurrection, for this son who was exchanged for his beloved flesh and blood life, he had nothing but pity and disgust that he didn't dare to face. I hate the disaster that his arrival brought to my family, and I hate that he took away the woman who was as gentle and pure as a snow lotus. So in addition to material security, mentally Ireh is not willing to care for him more.
But it wasn't until Morey was in danger because of his ridiculous impact on the pig beast that he realized what he had done! He threw aside the child that his beloved wife Selina had to keep even if she endured the pain of flesh and blood, and ignored it for more than ten years, and finally had to undergo the test of life and death again because of his own negligence.
Every time I think of this, Ireh seems to have a hundred ants devouring his heart! So over the years, he has been desperately fighting demons and monsters, on the one hand, to heal Morey's body, and on the other hand, only by scarring himself can he feel redeemed and alleviate his previous sins.
Over the years, the relationship between father and son has changed from being like a stranger at the beginning to caring for each other now, thinking about each other, and Ireh is a little relieved.
"Father, my body has been healed. I can already do the complete meditation, I'm a mage! Morey spoke at a steady pace, but with a hint of trill.
No one could understand how hard Morey's predecessor secretly worked to get his father's approval.
He always thought that he was not loved by his father because he could not become a professional, he could not become a legendary warlock. So he has been studying alchemy desperately all these years, and he wants to use his alchemy achievements to regain his father's recognition of him.
So even if Ireh has ignored him all these years, he still stubbornly believes that as long as he makes achievements, he can regain his father's love.
The Pig Beast Knight sounded ridiculous, but he thought that since ogres could ride demon thorn boars, humans could also fight on Pig Beasts with improved bloodlines. So he injected the pig-robin with a berserk agent, so he died on the way to prove himself.
Since Morey had inherited all the memories of his predecessor, this expectation was naturally deeply ingrained in his mind. Although Morey had intended to recount the incident in a calm tone, he still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Good, good, good!" Irere said yes three times in a row, patted Morey on the shoulder, and said in a steady tone, with a look of approval on his face and motioning for him to sit down.
But when he turned to find a chair for Morey, Morey saw a glittering water.
"Tell me, how did you break through?" Taking a deep breath, Ireh sat down facing each other and asked Morey curiously.
Morey's situation is best known to him, even if he is supplemented with supplements like dragon liver leopard fetus every year, it is not to the point of making up for Morey's weak soul.
Morey naturally told everything that happened to him, but he only hid the information of the blood moon and his otherworldly child, and only attributed the reason for the soul repair to the gift of the mysterious existence. Needless to say, the Son of the Otherworld, this blood moon is too big, and he doesn't want his father to worry about it, and the more he knows, the greater the threat.
"He must be some powerful being, I didn't expect such a powerful existence, just distraction can imprison the soul of the gods......" Irrey sighed at his strength and secretly rejoiced. If Morey hadn't been lucky enough to meet him, not to mention making up for his soul injuries and becoming a mage, he would have even lost his life.
"I heard that you are already a second-level mage!" Irex remembered something again. It was only a long time before Morey became an official mage before he was promoted again.
"Yes, Father! Maybe it's a gift from that person, I understand spells very easily, so I broke through the other day. "Since you can't mention the blood moon, you naturally blame that person for all the abnormalities, but I have found a good excuse, and if there is any unreasonable in the future, I will directly use this as a shield.
"No, it's supposed to be your original talent!" Morey shook his head but gave a different opinion, while he was happy about his child's achievement, he was also a little regretful, "If it's a warlock, it's even better!" ”
Morey was originally a unique dragon and demon hybrid, with first-class talent, and even Lady Teresa, the chief priest of the God of Morning Light in the Holy Lance Kingdom, praised Morey for being a legendary warlock when he became an adult.
Ireh then informed Morey that Johnson, Andy, and Ios were going to Momiji City to assist him.
"Morey, although this elder's decision is very unkind, but for the time being, we still abide by it, although Red Leaf City is not the best city in the family, but for you now, it may be the best choice!" Ireh didn't want to tell Morey about his plan, firstly, Morey's strength was too low and he knew too much was not good for him (good tacit understanding of father and son), and secondly, as a father, he always wanted to support his children, so he always stood up in front of him to shield his children from the wind and rain.
Morey didn't know about his father's amazing plan, and he also felt that there was nothing wrong with accepting this result, anyway, he had a blood moon, and his strength was not improved by those so-called "cultivation resources". As for Johnson, Andy and Ios, his father's kindness naturally has to be accepted, but he is still afraid that he will be assassinated?
Seeing Morey nodding in agreement, Ireh breathed a sigh of relief. What I am most afraid of is that Morey feels that he can fight a piece of the sky on his own, and does not accept the three of them, although he can secretly tell the three of them to take care of Red Leaf City, but after all, it is not as good as appearing in Red Leaf City in the open.
"Then it's decided, Johnson will be the commander of the guard team of Red Leaf City! Andy, you've seen him, he's more than enough to be a clerk, and as for Ios, you're also a mage, and you can learn spells from him! ”
Knowing that these were his father's cronies, Morey naturally would not refuse. Johnson, a half-orc, is a fierce general who dares to fight, and he has heard a lot in his family, and it is said that he has a legendary experience of taking the head of the enemy general in the chaos with arrows all over his body. Andy. As a side child of the family, Faiste is also known as Andy "Quick Sword". As for the mage Ios, it is much more mysterious, I only know that this person has a high prestige, even Johnson and Andy are in awe of Ios.
Irre sent Morey out of his study, and the conversation between father and son strengthened his plan to carry out the Floating City.
Morey's talent gradually began to emerge, and even if he couldn't become a legendary warlock, the legendary mage Morey was still very promising. At this time, he will never allow his family to become a burden to Morey, not only can he not get the substantial support of the family, but he has to spend a lot of time working hard for the interests of the family every year.
It's not a worry, it's a foreseeable fact, and that's how Ireh came back then. He was born in a side line, but he needs to spend a lot of effort to wipe his ass for those descendants for those symbolic family subsidies every year. So he used his experience as an excuse to get rid of the shackles of his family, and finally took the first step for himself to become a legend.
Who would have thought that after many years, their son would have this kind of experience in the future.
"This kind of pride is really embedded in the bones, and they haven't been woken up by a legend for a hundred years?!" Ireh muttered disdainfully in his heart.
For all warlock families, there is a blood-only doctrine. The higher the status of the lineage in the family, this is not a special case of the Faist family, but the descendants have not had a strong combat power to suppress one side for a hundred years, and they can still enjoy the special support of the family, then there is only the Faist family.
The cause of this phenomenon was none other than the Grand Elder of Faist, Enge. Faist!
He was once a gifted boy in the Faist family, so even though he was born on a side line, he received the same resources as his descendants. Received the education of the elders in the elder group with the children of the lineage, learned together, fought together, and even married a woman born in the lineage.
Therefore, he is grateful to the members of the lineage, it is precisely because of such a former legendary son-in-law that the lineage has not only not been suppressed, but has become more arrogant. Don't you see that even if it is a legend, it is grateful to our descendants? Without the desperate struggle of our ancestors, there would be no Faist family!
Enge can't see through it, otherwise how could he be dragged down by those fools to decades without any progress in strength, and finally be beaten down by others! For Enge, the senior of the division, in addition to the regret of what happened to him, Yilei also has an indisputable emotion.
A legend, the proud son of heaven is willing to be the lackey of the family's moths, and he feels a burst of anger when he thinks of this.
The uncontrollable anger involuntarily stimulates the demonic power in the body. The demonic aura slowly spread, and the invisible aura was so strong that it blurred Ire's figure.
All the people in Saber Castle felt this strong aura, and the palpitating aura brought everyone a strange sense of security, but Morey secretly vowed that one day he would reach this level.
"The Grand Commander, this is already a high-level legend! It's so strong! "Johnson is feeling the full power of Ireh again after many years.
"That is, the young master is the biggest genius of our Faist family, and that old guy in Enge is not worthy of shoes in front of the eldest young master!" Andy is also a brainless image, and he doesn't even have the desire to scare Johnson every day.
Ios is not so optimistic, and the breath leakage caused by the loss of emotional control is so terrifying, on the one hand, it shows that Ire's strength is strong, and on the other hand, it also shows that the reckless southern and northern wars over the years have left enough dark wounds to cause Ire's loss of control over his own strength.
"This trip to the underground is not optimistic!" Although Ios is calm on the surface, his worries are getting heavier and heavier.
For the handover of the Murray mine, Morey has entrusted Cory of Red Maple Township with full responsibility. His group went directly to Red Leaf City.
"It's said you're already a second-level mage, Morey." Inside the carriage, Osmans poured a cup of milk tea for Morey.
Mages cannot use coffee and tobacco to refresh their minds, as this will cause them to become dependent on these items, affecting their potential. So this drink mixed with black tea and milk became a popular drink among mages.
He took the silver teacup handed by his mage advisor, drank the milk tea, and let out a happy sigh. This rare drink that is the same as in a previous life will always give you the feeling of meeting a hometown and an old acquaintance.
"Yes, Uncle Ios, I'm already a second-level mage now, and I've learned the greasy technique and ...... spells"
Morey began to introduce his own situation, and he still respected this spell teacher introduced by his father.
On the marching carriage, two mages, one large and one young, whispered their spell skills to the sound of the bone-chilling chariot.
Momiji Castle has a population of more than 12,000 people, and it is named after the large number of autumn leaf trees nearby.
Momiji Castle's main income is the cutting down of red leaf trees, which are known for their compact wood and peculiar woody aroma. Red leaf wood is produced in a small amount, and only in Red Leaf City, and with a strange fragrance, it is a rare luxury product produced in the Far East, and it has always been the dream of many girls in the Holy Spear City to have a carved red leaf wood dressing box.
Most of the tax revenue in Momiji Castle comes from the sale of logging permits, and every autumn at the auction of permits, the principality's major chambers of commerce fill the hotels of Momiji Castle. Wealthy businessmen and big stewards, who are rarely seen on weekdays, can see a dozen when they raise their eyelids in those days.
Once these chambers have been granted permission to cut down trees, it has long been customary for them to hire locals to cut down trees. Because the cost of hiring the locals is not much higher than bringing the workers themselves, the chambers of commerce are also willing to sell the Faist family a face.
After the felling, the merchants will process some of the ordinary red leaf wood into small pieces such as jewelry boxes in the nearby red leaf city to save transportation costs, and some fine red leaf wood will be transported back to be carefully designed and carved by wood carvers.
"So young master, the commercial atmosphere of this Red Leaf City is even worse than our town." Corey finished handing over the formalities of Red Maple Town, and even arrived at Red Leaf City one step earlier than Morey. The people of the Faist family are also too lazy, the one that produces red leaf trees is called Red Leaf City, and the red maple town is called Red Maple Town nearby, fortunately there is no fishing village, otherwise there will be another salted fish village in the Far East.
Momiji City's economy is so dependent on the felling of autumn leaves that the population is even half as large during peak seasons like autumn. But in the off-season, the whole city is full of birds.
Ille's request for Momiji City as a fief for Morey was also deliberate. Geographically, it is the closest city to Saber Castle, and it takes only half a day to ride a horse; Economically, Red Leaf City is not inferior to those mining cities, and because Red Leaf City's seasonal trading model does not have the intricate interests and small families of other cities, it is suitable for Morey, who has a blank slate.
Standing in the original City Lord's Mansion overlooking the entire Red Leaf City, Morey couldn't help but have a mixed mixture of disbelief, fear and excitement.
This huge city was handed over to himself who was not yet eighteen years old, and the life and death of more than 12,000 people were in his own hands, except for the excitement of holding power, but to be honest, Morey was more at a loss.
Morey's previous life was just a dick, one person fed the whole family and was not hungry. Although his status has been prominent since the resurrection, Red Leaf Town has also become his fiefdom for a short time, but it is all Yilei who helps him manage, and he is a hands-off shopkeeper. But now listening to his father's meaning, he really put the net worth and lives of so many people in Red Leaf City on his shoulders, and he had some panic.
Can you really become a competent lord?
"Irrey, are you putting too much pressure on Morey? You must know that because of the weakness of his soul, he did not begin to receive an aristocratic education until four years ago.......
"All right, Martina, the eaglet will never leave its home on the cliff, but it will never learn to fly."
"But ......"
"Don't worry, why don't we discuss the route to the dungeon first? I think ......"
The woman looked at the pretending stubborn man and flashed a trace of helplessness.
