The first day of the new year.

For the first time, Al sat at the same table with the Iron Will.

The lion, known outside as the toothless lion, sat across from Arr, like an old man in his twilight.

That kind of twilight is not physical aging. As a legendary warrior, the Grand Duke still has strong muscles and a tall body.

That kind of twilight, the temperament that is incapable of exerting strength from the heart, seems to have lost the young spirit like an old man.

Since the Ruling Council runs the Empire, even if it is shared by five consuls, there are many government affairs that the Iron Lord needs to deal with.

Coupled with the family's internal affairs, the Grand Duke, who already supported the reputation of the legendary family, is aging day by day.

But even so, the spirit of the Iron Lord has always been very good, and his smile is very domineering and infectious.

He heroically raised the small barrel to the Al couple and celebrated loudly.

"Yesterday was your birthday and Amanda's boy, so I'll make up for you today. ”

"Celebrating the New Year and your birthday is also the first day of the year. ”

Seeing that there were all small wine barrels with such big heads around him, Al picked one up and opened it, and drank with the Grand Duke.

The people of the Iron Blood Family have always been rough and heroic, and a small barrel of ale wine is like a glass of water, and the two of them drank it clean in one gulp without taking a breath.

The Grand Duke was indeed old, and after drinking a bucket, he laughed and talked about the past.

"Back then, you suddenly went to the Royal Academy to study magic, and Masty and Dahn's family couldn't help but come to me to check if their children were held by mistake, hahahaha. ”

"But now it seems that you are really becoming more and more like your mother, but unfortunately you have become a mage, and your mother's skills can only be taught to that little ghost of the Dahn family. ”

The son of the first female warrior under the legend ran to learn magic, and heard that it was the dream of old Dahn.

The son of a merchant family, who has awakened the family's high-level bloodline, is still the unique bloodline ability of Ms. Masty.

The two families couldn't help but wonder if the little ghosts of the two families were playing the game of swapping identities when they were children, and they forgot to change them back.

But now Al's tyrannical personality, cold countenance, and gentleness that can only be found in front of family members are exactly the same as Lady Masty.

Dahn awakens the gluttonous bloodline that is exactly the same as Lady Masty, and naturally becomes a student of Lady Masty.

Although Al also has a gluttonous bloodline, he is dedicated to the pursuit of magic, and has made great achievements on the road of magic. Thomas's family has always supported their youngest son, and the family has stopped persecuting Al.

"Grand Duke, what was Al like when he was a child?"

Anne couldn't help but ask the kind old man curiously.

Al is not good at talking, and things other than magic have always been hands-on and never talk nonsense.

Anne, who had received a high-class aristocratic education since she was a child, softly relieved her husband.

Among them, there are also reasons why Anne is curious.

After losing his family, godmother, and church, he came to the more deserted Iron Blood family alone, and he didn't know where to learn about his husband's past.

The Grand Duke was obviously very fond of Anne, and talked happily about Al as a grandson.

For example, if you are lazy in the boy boy camp, you will never exert any more effort after completing the training.

I don't like fighting, and when I practice with others, I am generally beaten passively with my head in my hands.

He is the only one in his generation who likes to read, and he has been a financial officer since he was a child.

It's also very independent.,Alone went to the Royal Academy to learn magic and so on.。

It could be seen that the Grand Duke was very happy today, and drank more than a dozen small barrels of ale, but did not stop until the chief butler of the Grand Duke's Mansion strongly dissuaded him.

The lonely family banquet came to an end, and the Grand Duke talked to Al about business.

"The territories of the four major families have been exchanged, and the boy camp is ready to withdraw to the eastern part of the empire. But now the family manpower is tight, the empire is full of troubles, and the enemies of the family and the empire are extremely dirty and put their despicable eyes on the children. ”

"Children are the hope of the family's future, and the Boy Camp is also a thousand-year-old family tradition that cannot be destroyed in my hands. ”

Al immediately knelt down on one knee and hammered his right hand.

"Volcano City is garrisoned by my mage tower, and the resource cycle is taking shape, and it will not rely on any external forces in the future. ”

"Please allow me to guard the hope and future of the family. ”

"Any lowly enemy will be avenged by me. ”

The old archduke nodded with satisfaction.

"I know you have the ability, and Sprint told me about the strangeness of your volcanic city. ”

"In the next year, you can take the children of the boy camp away, and my old captain of the guard should also rest. ”

"By the way, now that the country is in turmoil, it is the time to employ people, and the family has already prepared all kinds of people with unique skills that you asked you to find at the beginning of the year. But now manpower is tight, and they are all delegated. ”

"It's not that the family doesn't want to help you, I hope you don't hold grudges. ”

Al was on the path of magic and did not receive the slightest help from his family.

But the family's help to Al is not something that magic can show.

Without a family, how can he leave everything behind and pursue his own path without hesitation.

Not to mention that the core of all his spells is based on his own powerful **, just reading and literacy can stop Al Zeng's ambitions.

He bowed his head, which never bowed, and saluted respectfully to the Grand Duke.

"You're serious, Grand Duke. ”

"Without my family, my dreams would never have come true for the rest of my life. ”

The old man nodded in satisfaction.

"Then, I will leave the future of the family to you. ”

Al was ordered to retreat.

Out of the Grand Duke's Mansion, he stood on the desolate iron-blooded street, and looked up at the eagle flying over the imperial capital.

The Grand Duke is really old.

Everything in the family has begun to be handed over to the next generation.

The third generation of Al, Ru Oman, Amanda, and Brut, also have their own tasks.

What will become of the uncontrollable future of this world?

In the early morning of the second day of the New Year, the left-behind children who received the order on Iron Blood Street had already packed their bags and were ready to line up in the boy camp.

Even the youngest is as resolute as a warrior and obedient to the family's arrangement.

The Grand Duke personally sought out the President of the Royal Academy, Sprint, and used the Gartour Clock Tower as an anchor to open a teleportal, and the eight towers sent the children to Volcano City along with the instructors and the chef unique to the Boy Boy Camp.

Al took his wife Anne's hand, delicately and gently opened the black hexahedron to isolate the fluctuations of space, and stepped into the portal to the volcano city thousands of miles away.

So far, Gatur, Volcano City, Clock Tower, hundreds of thousands of people.

Officially ushered in their hostess.

I want to talk about "Spell Mage" with more like-minded people, "Chat with more book friends about your favorite books."
