Chapter Eighty-Five: Bad News
Time always slips away inadvertently, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye, Kane is already sixteen years old, but he still has not yet been promoted to a high-level magician, and Feng Heng has reached the realm of a third-grade elementary.
However, although Kane seems to be standing still, his strength is no longer the same as two years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe it as different, and although Feng Heng's realm has improved a lot, in fact, most of his time in the past two years has been spent on learning alchemy, as for what Dan Feng Heng can get now, he doesn't know, but now refining the second and third grade pills is almost at his fingertips.
In a word, Kane and Feng Heng have lived a very fulfilling life in the past two years.
Kane rented a house in Fury City, of course, for Sarah and the three sheriffs, who were no longer sheriffs by now, but Kane's retinue.
The three are called Bert, Wengeris and Baroque, they are not three brothers, but they are more friendly than brothers, and Bert is older than the other two, more mature than the two, and has a higher position than the two, so all three are headed by him.
Kane still attended classes every day, and then went to them to guide them in cultivation, Kane was very important to them, after all, they were the first people to follow him, so they didn't let them all learn the same, but taught different things separately.
Sarah, who was already a mid-level berserker, was unlikely to take another one, while Bert and the three were learning defensive swordsman, assassin, and potion respectively.
Now this kind of life without worrying about food and clothing is something that a few people before could never have dreamed of, so he has become more and more diligent in his cultivation, and he is deeply grateful to Kane in his heart.
Somehow, Kane has been feeling a little uneasy lately, but when he thinks about it, there seems to be nothing to worry about, and the more he does this, the more uncomfortable he becomes, wondering if something has gone wrong or if something is about to go wrong.
He was already past the stage of fusion in his magic practice, and it had taken him almost a year to practice fusing the nine elements, but now he could complete the process in an instant.
Originally, Himir meant to fuse the divine magic together, and even thought about fusing the Yuan Power in Kane's body, but later found that things didn't seem to be as easy as imagined.
Kane's elemental perception and affinity are definitely the top level on the continent, but I don't know why, although the god-based magic can be practiced, the progress is so slow that even he can't stand it, and until now, he can only release a few of the simplest healing techniques, and even the healing effect is not as good as some auxiliary magic in the wood system.
The most basic requirement of element fusion is that the fused elements must be at the same level, so it is impossible to fuse the superficial god system.
Simir was also helpless about this, and when he couldn't find a reason, he could only say that Kane might not have the talent to practice divine magic, and Kane was deeply speechless about this.
As for the Yuan Force, it is even more difficult, after some research, Simir found that the Yuan Force is even more explosive than the thunder element, and now the nine elements of Feng Heng are already in a state of relative equilibrium, and if they are fused into such a burst element without the neutralization of other elements, they don't need to think about it and know that the consequences are very serious.
However, Himemir has been almost obsessed with Yuan Li recently, and almost all the rest of his time except for classes is spent studying Yuan Li, and there have even been several unprecedented class strikes.
No, it doesn't look like he's coming again today, Kane didn't see him in the classroom until the sunset, so he simply didn't wait, just as Wengris's potion book should be changed, so he got up and went to the academy building.
Kane naturally couldn't have both swordsman knowledge and assassin knowledge, so almost most of the three of Bert's cultivation was Kane borrowing books from the academy and then a few people studying them before starting to implement them.
Fortunately, all of Sala's previous team members had practiced these things, so it was not difficult to understand, and with Kane's understanding and a deep understanding of pharmacology in another world, several people learned it in a similar way.
Kane came out all the way after changing the book, and now the city has naturally returned to peace, so there are not many sergeants along the way, and it is true that he has not seen those people since the sergeant was taught by him last time, so sometimes it is necessary to make a move.
"Kane. Kane was walking when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling his name, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Leah, who he hadn't seen for many days.
It's really the eighteenth change of the female college student, and it is difficult for Kane to imagine that the big beauty standing in front of him is the naughty little girl back then.
Speaking of which, Leah's appearance has not changed much, more changes are reflected in height and development, Kane stood in front of her and was half a head shorter, and he was a little ashamed for a while.
"Long time no see. Kane said with a smile.
Leah was still wearing a bright suit of armor today, not as revealing as a berserker, nor as conservative as a defensive swordsman, so Kane deduced that he was practicing the orthodox routine, and when he turned his eyes, he saw the intermediate swordsman badge on his already large chest.
Seeing him staring at her somewhere, Leah frowned, "If you don't have anything else to do, come with me to the Earl's Court, my grandmother has something to look for you." ”
Kane nodded and smiled, "I'm fine, but can we speak in a different tone, after all, if we really get married in the future, I think I'll be embarrassed by then." ”
Leah walked over, her face very calm, "That's your business. ”
Kane smiled and shook his head, and hurriedly followed, walking for a while without feeling a little curious, "That... What is Lady Serena looking for me?"
"I don't know. Leah said without looking back.
Kane couldn't help frowning, not knowing where she got such a big resentment, so he simply smiled, "It's not trying to force us to get married, right?"
After hearing this, Liya was stunned, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.
Kane was happy, "What do you say I should do if they force us to get married?"
"What do you mean!" Leah said, turning her head and glaring at him.
Kane smiled, "I don't mean anything else, I don't know what's going on with you, but I'm really not ready to marry you." ”
"You...!" Lia gritted her teeth and said a word, as if she thought of something again, and her face suddenly returned to calm, and she continued to walk forward.
Kane shook his head, thinking that he would really marry her, but he was afraid that life would not be easy.
After that, he didn't say anything all the way, and after a short time he came to the door of the Marquis's Palace, Kane looked at the gate and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he had been here for more than two years, but the number of times he came to visit Madame Serena could be counted on one hand, and he would definitely be taught a lesson again later.
However, since he came, he had to go in hard, but when he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Serena holding something on a chaise longue in the courtyard and crying.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and Liya hurriedly ran over, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Serena hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and when she saw Kane behind her, she barely squeezed out a smile, "You're here." ”
Kane replied, his eyes turned to see that Lady Serena was holding a book in her arms, but why did she cry, could it be that she had read some touching story in the book? Kane shook his head and denied this thought, and suddenly a sense of uneasiness rose.
"Grandma Brynn, is something wrong?" Kane asked quickly.
"Kane, you haven't come to see me in a long time, come over and let grandma take a good look. Lady Serena said.
Kane obviously felt that she was changing the subject, but she also hurriedly walked over, and Lady Serena took one by one hand, "You two are really a good match, I believe you will be happy in the future." ”
Leah's face was a little complicated when she heard her say that, but Kane didn't pay much attention to it and asked, "Is something bad happening?"
Leah felt a little strange when he asked, and looked at Lady Serena together.
The smile on Lady Serena's face disappeared immediately, and she was silent for a while before she said to Kane with tears in her eyes: "Kane, grandma knows that you are a good and sensible child, so grandma wants to ask you for something today. ”
Kane's face changed, "Say it, I'll promise you whatever it is." ”
Mrs. Serena turned her head to look at Leah, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out, and then she said to Kane: "Liya grew up with me since she was a child, and I know her temper best, although she looks strong on the outside, she is very weak on the inside, so the thing that Grandma wants to ask you today is that you must take good care of Lia in the future." ”
"Grandma, why do you say this in a good way, what the hell is going on?" Leah became anxious when she said that.
Serena let go of the hands of the two of them, picked up the book she was holding just now and opened it, only to see that it was a letter inside, and Serena handed the letter to Kane.
"This is a letter secretly sent back from the west by Leah's uncle, Leo, and you will understand it after reading it. After saying that, he began to cover his face and cry.
Kane hurriedly opened the letter to look at it, but when he saw it, he was also shocked in his heart, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and he didn't even notice that the letter was taken by Leah.
Although this letter was sent in the name of Uncle Lea, it was actually a letter dictated by the Marquis of Bryn and written by Leo, and the whole letter told two things, the first of which was particularly shocking, saying that the Marquis of Bryn was plotted by an unknown person a few days ago, and his body was highly poisoned, although he saved his life with the help of many priests and pharmacists in the army, but it was also in danger.
The Marquis of Bryn was well aware of how much shock his death would cause in the Empire, so he did not make the matter public, because there was another important thing that had to be done, and this important thing was the second thing mentioned in the letter.
