Chapter 216: The Banquet (Part II)
"In that case, don't be anxious about marriage, Rada," said Grandpa, "our girl, don't worry about getting married!" ”
"Got it, grandpa." My sister whispered.
"By the way, Bihong, how strong are you now?" Grandpa asked.
As soon as the topic of marriage was over, everyone began to use food.
I took a bite of my hometown dish that I hadn't seen for a long time and said, "It's better than the average centurion, but I haven't touched the centurion ......."
"Captain of Ten......" my brother looked at me dumbfounded.
"Hey, if you really put it together, the centurion may not be your opponent!" Leo said, "You really don't pay enough attention to the difference in strength, and in other places, it's more difficult to say that you are half a level worse than ascending to the sky......."
"Rank doesn't mean everything," said Grandpa, "but it's always good to have this strength!" The glory of our ancestors can be restored! ”
"Well, what is the glory? Can you change so many things? Alan asked suddenly.
"Glory isn't for trade-in!" Mom gently "knocked" Allen's head and pretended to be angry and said, "That's other people's respect for our family!" It is a symbol of our family's strength! ”
"Isn't our family the most powerful in the village?" Alan protected his head, and when he saw that his mother didn't really fight, he asked again, "Then isn't our family also glorious in the village?" ”
"Stupid!" The elder brother said, "What Bihong wants to get back is the glory of our family in the entire Minotaur Clan!" ”
"Oh!" Alan suddenly realized, "Third brother, you are really amazing, all the minotaurs respect you!" ”
"Not yet!" I shook my head and smiled and said, "It's just the beginning, how can so many people respect me, and many people don't know me!" ”
"With your talent, that's a matter of time!" Grandpa was very interested and poured a glass of wine, "I think, if it goes on like this, wait for ten or eight years, not to mention that Bihong will regain the glory of the ancestor centurion, even if he becomes a thousand-captain, I am afraid that there will be a chance!" ”
"Wow!" Alan exclaimed, "Commander, I heard that you can kill ten Kodo beasts with one punch?" ”
"Haha," said the elder brother with a smile, "how can it be so easy, the commander's slap is not as big as ours, and if you punch it down, you can kill two heads at most." ”
"That's not how strength is counted...... Dad looked at the cup in his grandfather's hand greedily, and Grandpa squinted at him.
"When you have time, go to the training ground to learn," said the elder brother, "Bihong, you are going to teach me this time!" ”
"Okay!" I said, "I've learned a little bit out there, and it's very practical." ”
"Okay, okay, it's rare for the family to get together, don't keep talking about these fights and kills," Mom said, "Let's talk about something fun!" ”
"Yes, cousin!" Patou finally interjected, "What the hell is Thunder City like?" In the fall, I went to Sri Town, which is much larger than our Vir Village, and Thunder City should be bigger than Sri Town, right? ”
"Of course!" I said, "The town of Sri is four or five times bigger than our village of Ville, but Thunder City, the city alone is the size of a hundred Sri towns!" Add in the surrounding fields, rivers and lakes, pastures and orchards, and it's huge......"
"Oh—" Patou and Alan both exclaimed, fascinated.
The whole family was also very surprised, except for Ian, who didn't seem to feel anything.
However, he always looked like that, and the whole family was not surprised.
"This kid is still so weird," said Leo, "but he doesn't show his ......."
"It's that you're thinking too much." I say.
Our whole family chatted happily and lively, and even the winter cold was chased away.
At the end of this meal, Grandpa drank a lot, Dad and Brother were hungry for a long time, but they couldn't help but drink, probably last night I was really scared.
Mom and sister are busy taking care of everyone, getting up from time to time to add vegetables and change dishes, they are still so diligent, of course, the sister-in-law is not idle.
Alan is the one who eats the most and is the happiest. I could see that although the novelties in our conversation attracted his attention, he never stopped eating, and everyone would inevitably stop when they heard me talk about the wonderful things, but he would never stop talking......
Of course, I didn't go into too much detail about the fox clan, one come. That experience involved my secrets, and I can't say more, and secondly, I was afraid that my family would worry.
But it's also funny, although Alan eats a lot, his body is only slightly fat, and he can't see that so much of the food he eats has gone there.
"This kid is very talented, and he won't be easy to ...... in the future," Leo said suddenly, "Your family, it is estimated that he will be able to make a name for himself in the future......
I asked curiously, "You mean he can awaken his anger?" Or elemental energy? ”
"Druid, of course there is more possibility of awakening elemental energy," Leo said, "Don't look at him now, he is spoiled by the whole family, thinking that he doesn't need to be too strong, in fact, in the future, maybe you leave, and the Doon family will rely on him." ”
"Really?" Now my prediction about Leo will not be easily dismissed, after all, what he said has basically come true.
It's just that I don't understand how Eren is so ordinary and has average talent how he can become a powerful druid.
"You don't have to doubt this," Leo said, "look for opportunities to give him some proper guidance, get on good terms with him, and don't worry too much about the rest." ”
"Okay!" I said, "Since we are destined to leave, there really needs to be someone in the family who can make it, and it would be a good thing if Alan could become stronger...... I used to think that having my father and brother would be able to sit back and relax, but now that I think about it, they can really only be regarded as strong among civilians, and if they really encounter powerful characters, such as the broken corner thug, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do......"
"And Ian, this kid has a lot of potential, but he's too evil." Leo said.
"You can be sure of Allen's future, why can't you see through Ian?" I asked, "Could it be a mistake?" ”
"It's impossible to ......," Leo said.
I speak resolutely every day, but there is a hint of uncertainty hidden in it.
"We'll see...... Leo said, "and after you've made sure they're safe, you can leave again." ”
"Of course, if they're in danger, I'd rather not go!" I say.
That's the end of the first meal home, but it's just a lunch, and it's not very well prepared, if I hadn't come back, it would have been a home-cooked meal.
After the meal, I brought out the gifts specially for my family, and the wooden bud elephant specimen was also re-hung in the main hall of the house, and my grandfather happily looked at the snow-white and hideous skull, and refused to move his steps for a long time.
Ian and Pattu are still studying, and they are also staying in the living room with their grandfather.
What I prepared for my mother, sister, and sister-in-law was actually a set of tailoring tools, but it was finer than the others, and the cloth was not ordinary animal skins, but cloth bought from goblin merchants.
In Thunder City, only temple worshippers, nobles, and a small number of merchants can afford to wear cloth clothes, and speaking of which, this thing is quite expensive, so I don't buy a lot, and it's enough to make a smaller vest or something, and it's not enough to make a coat. In addition to these, there are naturally all kinds of novel jewelry, such as necklaces, rings, earrings, nose rings, horn sleeves, forehead guards, combs, hairpins, although it is only a small packet, there are dozens of pieces when opened, which makes them cry out with joy......
For my father and brother, of course, it was a carefully selected weapon, and a few jars of good wine, which even my grandfather and grandfather were counted, after all, only they could drink it.
As for Patu, Ian, and Allen, I also have similar equipment, but this equipment has been processed by the priests of the Priesthood and has a certain enchantment effect. Of course, I didn't ask anyone for help, but bought samples from outside the temple and learned how to do it myself.
Stealing enchantments, of course, was also Leo's idea......
Leo said that this was just a little scratch of the surface, and that humans and elves were the masters of enchantment, and that I didn't understand the principle anyway, so I went with him.
Pattu and Ian were given amulets and bracelets that helped them calm down and feel the flow of elemental energy, which was a good thing to aid their practice. Naturally, they couldn't stop thanking me when they got their hands on me, and even Ian gave me a rare smile.
Eren was given a short bow. Because of his mother, Alan didn't like other druid equipment, such as his grandfather's black copper wooden staff, but liked bows and arrows, and his mother had already learned from his grandfather, so she also taught him some. The Short Bow is enchanted with Wind Energy, which makes the arrows lighter, faster, and farther, making it a good piece of equipment for hunting, but it can only be used as a secondary piece of equipment for druids.
Alan got the good equipment and was about to take it to practice, and was grabbed by his mother to prepare dinner.
Looks like there's a big meal waiting for me in the evening.
My mother, sister, and sister-in-law took the gifts I brought back and began to prepare dinner, and my grandfather continued to teach Patu and Ian, and I followed along.
"You must have learned a lot of new skills in the temple, right?" Grandpa asked.
"Yes." I nodded.
"Can you, teach them a little bit." Grandpa looked at me tentatively, "Of course, if it's inconvenient......"
"No problem!" I said, "It's not a secret skill." ”
