Chapter 60: Blackwater Bay
"That's all for today, and remember to review today's points again before going to bed. The man put away the knight's sword in his hand and looked at the young man on the opposite side, who was tired and panting but still meticulously maintained a vigilant posture, and his serious face also showed a hint of satisfaction, but this satisfaction only stayed for a moment.
He didn't want the young man in front of him to feel appreciated, even if it was his son.
No, it should be said that it is precisely because the other party is their own son that they need to accept stricter requirements, because only in this way can the young man in front of him continue to improve, keep honing himself, and take his place in a few years and carry the whole family on his shoulders, which is the way the Prince family is used to training the younger generation, keeping them hungry and thirsty as much as possible, so as to stimulate the potential in their bodies.
A man will never forget the feeling of despair in his heart when he was young, no matter how hard he tried, he could not meet his father's expectations, and it was this sense of despair that made him develop a character of not admitting defeat, and he was full of energy when he opened his eyes every day.
"Why, is there anything else?" The man did not dwell in the memory for too long, and when he came back to his senses, he noticed that the boy did not bend away as usual, but stood in place, and there seemed to be some hesitation in his expression.
The man didn't like the young man's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and frowned, "If you have something to say, the men of the Prince family never twist and pinch each other." ”
"Yes, father. The young man said respectfully, "I wonder if anything happened to the family in Blackwater Bay?"
"Blackwater Bay?" the man was slightly stunned when he heard these three words, "Where did you know this name?"
The boy sensed something from his father's reaction, and it seemed that something had happened in the family in Blackwater, but he didn't know why no one knew about it now.
The man's gaze seemed to be able to see through his heart, "I don't care who you have a grudge with outside, young people are arrogant, it is normal to have a little friction, and if you are calculated, you will retaliate back, but you must have enough understanding of your opponent before you shoot, and the most taboo thing is to recklessly bump into it without even knowing the details of others, not only losing your life, but also affecting the family." ”
"The protagonist of the Blackwater Bay incident is a fool in the family, that was a long time ago, I was only eight years old at that time, and there was an uncle in the family who always liked to play around, and one day when he was passing by Blackwater Bay, he saw a very beautiful girl, the girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed as a civilian, and the fool thought when he first saw her, and it happened that there was no one else on the road at that time, so he asked his guards to take the girl home. ”
"It's not the first time that guy has done this kind of thing, but he's always been careful, basically only targeting girls from civilian families, and he will leave a sum of money for the other party to seal afterwards, and he is from the lineage, even if something really happens, there will be a family to wipe his ass for him in the back, so he hasn't caused any big trouble over the years. ”
"But this time there was a slight surprise, the girl ...... He went crazy not long after being insulted by him, but he didn't take it too seriously at the time, and then asked his guards to find a place to dispose of the child, but the four men he sent out did not come back until it was dark that night, he thought that those guys were running to have fun in the name of carrying out a mission, this kind of thing had happened before, so he didn't pay much attention to it, just cursed casually, and the next morning he found the bodies of those four men outside his door. ”
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but let out a cold snort, "Who is so bold, and he doesn't take our Prince family seriously." ”
"Yes, the other party's courage is indeed not small, and the people in the family are also very angry, so there was a quick move, I remember that there were three uncles who volunteered to investigate this matter, and they picked out an elite team from the guards at home before they set off, all of them are high-level professionals, such a lineup can even destroy a small force nearby, and as a result, they set off in the morning, and the news of their deaths was reported back home at dusk. ”
The boy was really shocked this time, "How is this possible, right...... How many people are on the other side?"
"There was only one person on the other side, a ninth-order super mage, and the girl who was kidnapped by the fool with the brain of the spirit worm was his only daughter. The man said lightly, " Because of this incident, half of the people in the family died, and finally found Vice President Abs to mediate, compensated the other party with 1,200 dragon crystals, and invited a cardinal from the Holy Alliance to use magic to restore the girl's mind, of course, the worst thing was the guy who caused trouble, and the family built an iron cage according to the request of the super magister, locked him up with twenty male silverback chimpanzees who took estrus, and found a priest to release the recovery technique every once in a while to ensure that he would not die immediately...... ”
The man paused, then glanced at the boy again, his gaze meaningful, " The Blackwater Bay incident is a shame for the Prince family, very few people know about it, and those who were personally involved in this matter back then don't want to talk about this nightmare afterwards, you are a very assertive child, so I have never interfered much in your affairs since I was a child, and this time is no exception, I just want to wake you up, this matter is only known to three parties, in addition to our Prince family, there is also the semi-reclusive ninth-order super magic master and the abs principal, the matter involves the former's beloved daughter, the ninth-order super mage will not tell anyone else about this matter, as for the abs principal...... His duty is that he needs to file with the Wizards Association, but in the past, he also promised that we would encrypt the records, and if someone can get access to that matter through this way, it means that his level in the Wizards Association will definitely not be too low. ”
"I know what to do, father. When the young man heard this, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
The man took a handkerchief from the handmaiden's hand and carefully wiped the sweat left on the hilt of the sword, "I have never made any moral requirements for you, the Prince family can survive to the present by not relying on bullshit chivalry, doing bad things is not a problem in itself, the vast majority of people in this world have done some not very honorable things for their own interests, the problem is that you need to be more rational and cautious to choose your opponent, otherwise, maybe one day you will be the one who will be locked in that cage." ”
