After leaving the Wright family, Aix did not go directly back to the apartment, but came to the Bryant family's castle not far away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince I've been here once, I didn't encounter any obstacles to meet Odom, the boy.

"Why are you here again, let's talk about it first, the accounts between us have already been cleared, you don't want to get a copper coin from me again." Odom was blackmailed by Ax last time he already had palpitations, as the so-called once bitten by a snake for ten years afraid of the well rope, now Ax is an insatiable devil in Odom's eyes, you must know that Ax last extorted away half a year's pocket money, so that he still has to live on a tight margin.

"Look at your appearance, how can you look like the eldest young master of the Bryant family, if people who don't know still think that you are a gambler who has been cornered by loan sharks." Aix unceremoniously picked up a piece of pastry on the table and ate it, completely devoid of the consciousness that a guest should have, as if he was in his own home, and did not regard himself as an outsider.

"I don't need you to take care of my image, you better take care of yourself, don't look like you are charging usury interest all day long." Not to be outdone, Odom said, but unfortunately the momentum was a little lacking.

"By the way, who is in charge of your family now, can you introduce me to it?" Ax leaned forward suddenly, approaching Odom and whispering.

"My grandfather is in charge, and the whole of Bristol knows about this, why are you asking this? Do you want to fight our family's idea? Odom's body leaned forward with Aix, and immediately pulled back away, and after hearing Aix's words, he almost fell to the ground in surprise.

"Look at you, how can I still take you as a big family by myself?" Aix said helplessly.

"But I just have a feeling that you can." Odom sat down, immediately picked up the cup in front of him, and drank it all in one go, regardless of what was inside, and finally suppressed the shock.

When Ax heard Odom's answer, he really didn't know if he should be happy, he didn't expect that he would have such a high opinion in Odom's heart, just when Ax was about to persuade Odom to let him take him to his grandfather, an old voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Take him to my study!" ”

When Odom heard this voice, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he at least didn't have to face this vampire directly, and Aix could guess when he saw Odom's expression that the person who spoke should be Odom's grandfather, the current head of the Bryant family.

Aix followed Odom all the way to the top floor of the castle, and stopped in front of a wooden gate directly opposite the stairs, Odom respectfully stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon the sound of the two of them coming in was heard inside.

This is the study that the old man said? This was Aix's first impression when he walked to the study, because not only did there not be a single book in the room, not even a table, but a map that stretched from the ground to the four walls around it, and it could be seen that this map was very detailed, even including the forgotten land Acacia, although there was no path marked on it, but it was enough to be breathtaking.

"Whew~" Odom let out a sigh of relief when he saw Aix's appearance, which happened to blow on Aix's neck, causing Ax to turn his head and ask, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I just finally think you're my peer, I used to think you're the old monster who keeps his youthful appearance, but when I saw your surprise at this map, I found some human flavor in you." After Odom finished speaking, he ran towards the door, and as he ran, he said to the old man who was already waiting here: "I have already brought the people, since I have nothing to do, then I will go first." ”

"What do you think the map records? Everybody who comes in here, I'm going to ask this question, and they have all sorts of answers, and now, I'd like to hear your answer. The old man asked, looking at Aix.

"Maps, of course, record footprints, only where you have been, you know how to get there, there will be a map there." Ax said without hesitation.

"Young man, what do you think of this map?" The old man stepped on the map under his feet and asked Aix.

"It's very detailed, not only most of the cities and untouched places on the Valoran continent, but even the sea routes are clearly marked, I guess this should be the most detailed map in the world."

"Oh? You seem to know a lot about the Land of Runeera, and most people will be confused when they see this map, not knowing that there is such a vast land south of the Great Barrier, let alone the existence of Shadow Island, but I don't see a trace of confusion in your eyes, as if you have known it for a long time, can't you see the same detailed map before? Because I'm sure you're never going to be able to walk through the entire Runeterra. The old man said firmly.

"Can you show me the hidden part of this map?" Aix replied in response.

"Looks like I was reckless?" The old man smiled and shook his head, apologizing for his previous question. Of course, there are hidden parts of this map, those are the trade routes of the Bryant family, which is the foundation of their family, how can outsiders see it. And Ax knew that the original appearance of the Runeterras was also his secret, and of course he would not say it because of the old man's curiosity.

Aix's disguised refusal did not make the conversation awkward, or rather, it was a mutual temptation, and after the old man apologized, he immediately changed the subject and asked Aix, "What do you think of Odom?" ”

"A suitable heir, regardless of his business talents, will at least be friends with most of your family's business partners, and that will be enough." Aix said very sincerely.

"Thank you for your review." Hearing Aix's words, the old man also smiled heartily, and seemed to be very satisfied with the heir. Aix's answer also admits that he already regards Odom as a friend.

"Alright, now you can tell me why you're here." The old man said with a smile.

No third person knew about the conversation in this study, and even Odom asked the old man many times, and the old man did not say a word, but when Ax walked out of this study, the smile on his face was not fake, but from the heart.

After leaving the study, Aix, who was still received by Odom, saw Aix's happy appearance, Odom immediately licked his face and came up and asked, "What did you talk about, why did it take so long?" Did you extort a large sum of money from my grandfather, otherwise, how would you still be close to each other? Odom looked at Aix with a smile all the way, and couldn't help asking, and at the same time, feeling sorry for his family being knocked again, he blamed himself for making friends carelessly and luring the wolf into the room!

"I really don't understand what you're thinking, are you so unconfident in your grandfather?" Aix asked curiously.

"Who doesn't know Bristol, my grandfather is a good old man, he is often deceived, and some people even call him a stupid old man in private. My grandfather didn't seem to care about any of that, though. Although Odom said this, it was obvious that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.

"Your grandfather may not be clever, but he definitely has great wisdom." Ax said comfortingly, but at the same time, it was also the true feeling in his heart.

"Of course, don't look at whose grandfather it is, with a grandson as smart as me, can his grandfather still be stupid?" Odom said proudly.

"Why do I think there's something wrong with the logic?" Aix said jokingly.

"The eldest husband should be determined in the world, so don't care about these details." Odom grinned.

After leaving the Odom family castle, Ax walked directly to the outside of the city, because there were still people waiting for him, this time Ax was no longer the protagonist, but an observer, when the Infinite Sword Saint saw Aix, there was no nonsense, and he didn't ask Ax what the results of this trip were, so he took Ax directly to a forest not far from Bristol City.

This grove is not big, and even most of it is shrubs, and there are not many tall trees, not to mention animals, not even birds, and the most are some insects. However, I don't know what the reason is today, there is not even the sound of insects, and the silence is a little scary.

"How could you choose such a place, how can you say that it is also a union, there is no altar incense case, even if you choose a place where such birds don't." When Ax saw this, he had a feeling of dislike for the first time, and he didn't even think about it, so he blurted out these words.

"Meditation!" Master Yi, who was walking in front, did not have a trace of irritability, and still walked in front without hurry, only after hearing Aix's complaints, he let out a short light sigh from his mouth.

Awakened by Master Yi's voice, Aix immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong with him, and immediately let go of his mind and stopped thinking about anything, but the irritability in his heart still lingered in his heart and lingered.

"Strength!" Ax gritted his teeth and roared, and then stabbed the hilt of the short knife to his side, this time Ax didn't spare his hand, the huge pain made half of his body numb, but, fortunately, the irritability in his heart was lessened a little.

"What's going on?" Ax asked hard, still limping when he walked.

"The normal reaction of the body is like the stress response of some insects when they are threatened by the outside world, and the body will have some changes in color and so on." Master Yi seemed to appreciate Aix's decisiveness, and answered Aix's question with a smile.
