028. Side effects

That peculiar pleasure dominated Talos's senses for an entire morning—during which Talos felt that he was the happiest man in the world, feeling more relaxed and satisfied than ever before, both physically and mentally—until a message came from the Ring of the Web.

The other party has the same surname as Talos, Moritz Nepton, the son of Talos' aunt Florence and Chester, and is three years older than Talos.

He wandered around the Black Iron Seventh Order for three years, and it wasn't until two months ago that he opened the meditation space.

Moritz's message is very simple, a link, with a distressed expression.

The moment he saw the domain name, Talos roughly guessed that the content inside was nothing more than the opinions and comments of the internal forum of Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on the shattering of his meditation space.

In normal times, Talos will definitely not click on the link, and people who have suffered "trauma" will subconsciously choose to escape to protect themselves.

But now Talos was still basking in the afterglow of that special pleasure, and his spirit was so relaxed that he didn't hesitate to open the link, eager to know what they would say.

Due to the peculiarity of Talos's identity, the name "Talos Nepton" does not appear in the post from beginning to end, and all are replaced with "he", as if he is a mysterious person who is so scary that he can't even be mentioned by name.

"As an alumnus, I am very sorry for what happened to him, and I never thought that a young mage who was destined to make a difference in the field of mages would actually leave the ...... in this way"

"It's such a shame that we lost a like-minded partner and friend. ”

This is a pity and pity for what happened to him, and in contrast to the cynicism of what happened to Talos in the comments.

"I have to say it's fate, and it turns out that the one who can get to the finish line is not necessarily the fastest, but the one who can persevere until the end. ”

- I'm glad there weren't people like you around, otherwise I would have had trouble breathing, but I really want to know how inferior you really are to rejoice in this situation.

"He paid the price for his arrogance and ignorance, the battlefield was not a school, and obviously, the aura that shrouded him did not block a high-level spell for him. ”

- I'm ashamed of your thoughts, when alumni and compatriots were attacked by mermaid mages and couldn't continue on the path of mages, I don't expect you to stand up and show your support, but this kind of meaningless and disgusting remarks really makes people wonder if you are an undercover agent for mermaids and fishmen in the United Kingdom!

Talos was still very curious and expectant at first, but it turned out that even those who sneered at him were very restrained, and only stayed at the most basic envy and hatred, which disappointed him and soon lost interest.

Exiting the page, Talos replied, "You want me to know how many people live in my shadow at Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they didn't have the courage to speak up until I had an accident? ”

"But it doesn't make sense, because I never care what they think. Narrow eyes and thoughtless remarks doom them to mediocrity on the path of mage, and I never talk to mediocrity. ”

Three seconds later, Moritz's reply was transmitted through the magic web: "Have you ever thought that what they hate is not you as a person, but your extraordinary talent, I know this deeply, really." ”

Growing up, Moritz lived first in Emma's aura and later in the shadow of Talos, who was always the most inconspicuous of all in contrast.

Especially when Talos, who was three years younger than himself, successfully opened the meditation space and promoted to a full-fledged mage, the frustration and self-denial that kept rising from the deepest part of his heart made him feel painful.

- As successful as Talos is, he is a failure, and the presence of the other party reminds him of this fact at all times.

Talking to Talos today, Moritz had many ways and options, but in the end he decided to send one of the hottest posts on the school forums these days as an opening statement.

Moritz wasn't sure if he was jealous or out of a twisted schadenfreude, like the cynical moxes on the forums.

Anyway, he did.

But then, Moritz was condemned by his conscience and tortured by his soul, and no matter what, Talos was his brother!

"If you're here to laugh at me, this is the end of our conversation. Again, I am not talking to memorials. ”

Are you questioning that I'm also a mediocre?

Nothing made Moritz angry more than that, but before the rage engulfed his senses, the brain replied, "Don't, Tár! I didn't...... It's just that...... Well, actually, I have an important thing to tell you. ”

"Then tell me. ”

Moritz hesitated for about two seconds, and then continued to reply: "Some of the family members who have the seats are proposing to cancel the inheritance of your second in line to the throne, at the next family meeting!"

On the 45th of every month, when the full moon and new moon are in the sky at the same time, the historic Nepton family holds a regular family meeting in the ancient underwater Walter Magic Manor.

Today is April 14, three days before the next family meeting.

"Why, because they can't tolerate the fact that the second in line to the throne of the House of Nepton and the Black Sea Lord is a non-professional who can't cast another spell?"

In the afterglow of pleasure, Talos quickly let go of himself, and even the anxiety and anxiety that Talos himself was not aware of after cracking the "mystery in the womb" were all vented through words at this moment.

The receiver of the message on the other side, Moritz, can feel Talos's strong negative emotions even through a magic web.

As a cousin, he began to regret telling Talos the news.

"I can understand your feelings, Tár, but to be fair, they ......" Moritz finally decided to express himself in a tactful way.

"Come on, I really can't figure out why they can't vent their exuberant energy in the lab, and they have to jump up and down like clowns in family meetings to show off their ridiculous power. Haven't they seen clearly to this day, whether I have the right to inherit or not, there will be no change in the person who will inherit the position of patriarch and lord in the future - Emma!"

"Patriarch", "Lord", and a few other special words in the conversation stung Moritz's eyes, and he deleted the words of comfort he had intended to send and retyped them: "I think my lord will definitely have a way." ”

"Of course. Talos withdrew his consciousness from the Ring of the Magic Web and ignored Moritz's message.

Sandra certainly has a coping strategy, but he has a better one.
