Chapter 35: Cinder
Chapter 35: Cinder
Just after nightfall, more than 200 kilometers from Mangala City, in the border city of El City, the Principality of Gavin Province, a quaint old mansion towers over the eastern part of the city.
In a small courtyard in the deepest part of the house, a silver-haired old man with a more stern face sat on the main seat, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the wooden armrest of the seat, and holding a small purple mud teapot in the other hand, taking a sip from time to time.
At the lower left hand, a middle-aged man with short black hair on his head played with his nails and leaned lazily on the Taishi chair.
These two are the other two second-level warlocks of the Bosh family, Arthur's grandfather Hind, and Hind's younger brother, Arthur's second grandfather, Buddy.
"Father, second uncle, that's the way it is, Arthur's talent is far beyond our imagination, but the Snow family has a third-level warlock, and my sister doesn't want Arthur to leave the Snow family. ”
Sherman's face was as flat as ever, but there was a hint of anxiety in his tone. Thinking about Arthur's talent, he takes it very seriously, and hopes that the two elders in the family will consider it carefully.
The black-haired old man Buddy first glanced at his brother with a smile, and glanced at the latter's tea-soaked trousers very viciously, the corners of his mouth slanted slightly, and stared at Sherman meaningfully, "Sherman, you said that Arthur took only two months to go from a novice who didn't know what cultivation was, skipping qi induction, luck, and energy conversion to become a first-class warlock?"
"Are you telling a joke?" After Buddy finished speaking, a hint of banter appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Hind on the throne. I saw Hind's body tremble again.
Cinder stopped tapping his fingers on the seat, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Our family's ancestral thunder technique, you taught Arthur?"
Sharman raised his head and looked at his father, and said in a deep voice, "Father, in terms of moves, I taught him the basic technique 'Thunderstorm Fist', and I only taught him some other fighting skills. Ancestral techniques, I didn't dare to teach them without my father's consent!"
Speaking of which, Sharman was full of helplessness, there was no one in ten thousand innate warlocks, and every one of them was the pride of the sky. But even the pride of the sky is divided into levels. Every master of magic hopes to have a disciple with excellent qualifications to inherit his mantle, even Salman. Especially this young man with such a strong talent, who is still his own nephew, is even more excited. However, he did not dare to teach him because of the family's view of the gatekeeper, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness of the times.
Desperately thinking about buying a chance for his own nephew, Sherman clenched his fists, looked at Hind nervously, and continued to speak.
"Father, the power of our ancestral thunder technique is naturally beyond the reach of others who have studied it alone for a lifetime. Although my sister's family has a third-level warlock, but he is not very specialized in thunder magic, it is impossible for a business family to cultivate a powerful warlock, if we abandon Arthur, such a superb talent will be lost in our hands! How can I promote the prestige of my Bosh family? I can't say that our ancestors ......."
"Shut up, our ancestors are the ones you can offend!" Hind retorted.
Buddy's shoulders trembled, desperately suppressing the smile in his heart, and when he saw Shalman being reprimanded, the face of the Chinese character face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he couldn't help but squeeze his eyebrows at him, and laughed, "Hahahaha, Xiaosha, don't worry, you Lao Tzu and he care more about his grandson than you." Speaking of which, you are really stupid, Lao Tzu's grandson is so talented, but you are not good at teaching, and you also tightly cover your housekeeping skills in your crotch, cough cough cough cough ......cough cough
Sharman looked at the second uncle, feeling a little aggrieved, "How did I offend the ancestors?"
Without waiting for Buddy to continue speaking, Hind gently placed the small teapot of purple mud on the tea table beside him, and slowly stood up, his long silver hair was very flowing, and it could be seen that he was definitely an unusually handsome beautiful man when he was young.
"Sharman"
"Father" Salman bowed slightly. Although he is much more famous than his father, in front of his father, Sharman feels that he is still the child who was deeply taught by his father when he was a child.
"You stay and teach those bunnies well, and I won't allow it to be the same as the last time at the next meeting. I'll go to Mangala City tomorrow with your second uncle!"
Sharman was stunned for a moment, and looked at his father suspiciously, why did he suddenly go to Mangala City? Didn't he say the attitude of his sister's family?
Buddy glanced at his eldest brother and laughed, and he could understand exactly what the latter meant.
Hind coughed lightly, said no more, and slowly walked past Sherman, leaving the hall alone.
"This ......" Salman's mind was full of question marks, "Second uncle, what's wrong with my father?"
Buddy looked at Sind's back with a smile in his eyes, glanced at Sherman in a daze, couldn't help sighing, lost his smile, stared up at the ceiling, and muttered in his heart, "My Lord Buddy is so wise and powerful, why do I have a nephew who is as stupid as a cow?"
"Silly boy, you're really stupid!"
"What's the matter, second uncle?" Sharman suddenly felt that the behavior of the two elders was so strange today.
"When you first started talking about Arthur, didn't you notice that the water in my brother's teapot was spilling out and wetting his trouser legs?" and ......," Buddy said, pointing to the small teapot sitting firmly on the table, "When have you ever seen a little teapot leave his brother's hand?"
Immediately, Buddy ignored Salman's sudden expression, and seemed to say to himself, "Big brother, he's moved!"
......
Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the courtyard, Arthur had already prepared his morning class in the courtyard. The third uncle's three-month teaching has thoroughly sharpened Arthur's lazy temperament.
"I didn't expect my father and mother to agree to me going" Arthur remembered that he had told his parents last night about going out on a mission, and his father agreed without hesitation. At a glance, the smiling face knew that there must be a "secret hand". This is also expected, after all, he seems to be a "three-generation single transmission".
I think the person sent by Daddy should also help when he is in danger, otherwise it will not have the effect of exercising.
"Young master, there is a change of clothes in this baggage, and some bacon and preserved fruits in this baggage, which are not available in those rural villages...... This is cooked meat, which Xiao Zhao just made this morning. This is a fox fur fur, there is definitely no warm pavilion like ours over there, the temperature is low at night, it's not good for the young master to freeze, this burden is ......"
Arthur looked at a bunch of things in the house, his scalp was a little numb, where are so many things going on a mission, it's clearly going on an outing!
From time to time, Xiao Zhao buried himself in his luggage as high as a hill, tapped this and counted that to see if anything was missing.
Arthur lifted Xiao Zhao up and carried her to the bed like a kitten. "You sit down honestly for me, your young master doesn't need anything for these things, just prepare a backpack for the young master, bring some dry food, water and a set of clean clothes."
"Young Master......" Xiao Zhao cried, his beautiful big eyes were as bright as jewels, staring at Arthur tightly, "Young Master take me with you, Xiao Zhao will never cause trouble for Young Master!"
Arthur's head was big, and he couldn't see the girl crying, so he spent a long time comforting Xiao Zhao in a soft voice, but found that the hands on Big Ben were already pointing to half past six, and he was shocked, so he immediately packed his luggage himself, and ran to his mother and father in a hurry to say goodbye. When he got out of the gate, he didn't even sit in the carriage, his body was surging, and a dazzling magic array under his feet was automatically generated, and his body directly turned into a bolt of lightning and went west. The two guards were left to look at each other in a daze.
