Chapter 44: Father and Daughter Night Talk
After the meal, Warrent called Marlena to his room alone, presumably to tell her something important.
The Duke's room in Snow Castle, on the top floor of Snow Castle. From here, the view of the entire snow castle is unobstructed, which is the privilege of being a ruler and a constant reminder of his responsibilities as a duke.
The entire top floor is divided into two rooms, one for the bedroom and one for the office. And in this office, except for a few people, they are not even qualified to set foot in, even the other five children are no exception.
At the moment, Marlena is sitting on the sofa in this office.
"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, would you like to pay a visit to your mother? She should be happy to know that you are back...... Six years after you left, I was finally able to erect a monument to her......"
Warrent said lightly as he brewed tea. His mind seemed to go back more than ten years, when he was a young nobleman who had lost his beloved in the middle of his spirit, not the current Duke of Snow Castle.
"Hmm. ”
"Even now, I still can't move her grave into the cemetery of the Snow Castle family, I still can't give her a name, she is still just a nameless singer, and I have become the feared Duke of Snow Castle. ”
A self-deprecating and sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Warrent's mouth, even as a duke, in such a matter of family reputation, he would be hindered by the elders of the clan, and he could not do what he wanted.
"One day, the Duke of Snow Castle will move her grave into the family cemetery to correct her name. Warrent pushed the steaming tea soup in front of Marina: "Maybe it's me, maybe it's you." ”
These eight words were not loud and not high-pitched, and they were said by Warrent flatly, but they pressed on Marina's shoulders like a thousand pounds of boulder.
Warrent picked up Marina, and sure enough, she didn't just plan to make her a noble girl who enjoyed pure happiness. Even in a small place in the countryside, Marina's godfather and godmother educated her according to aristocratic standards, and it seemed that she was preparing for this day?
"Me, what am I going to do?"
"For the ceremony in three days' time, I need you to take this opportunity to gain a firm foothold in the family. You must not have lost your knowledge and etiquette, right? In the course of these three days, you need to add some more relevant information. Your martial arts and magic aren't up to par, so you need to highlight something else to cover up this flaw......"
Warrent is straightforward, making all sorts of demands on Marlena like a boss assigning tasks. Finally, while waiting for Marlena to digest these contents, Warrent added: "I'm sorry, I'll blindly ask you for it as soon as I come back, I'm a bit incompetent as a father......"
"No," Marlena shook her head and said, "I remember my mother telling me when I was a child......"
"Accept life, love life, and then enjoy life. ”
Warrent and Marlena spoke in unison.
Marlena's eyes widened as she stared at her father.
"Surprised?" Warrent smiled, "It's a lyric, a song I wrote for her." ”
Warrent didn't intend to dwell too much on this topic, paused for a moment, and then said: "Please move the black rope will assassinate you behind the scenes, it is within the family, you must be careful." ”
"I will definitely avenge my godfather and godmother's revenge. Marlena stared at Warrent earnestly.
Within the family, that is, even if the Black Hand is the other of Warrent's children, Marina's siblings, she will definitely make his blood debt pay for it.
"......" Warrent did not speak.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, although the indebtedness to Marlena and her mother makes him more inclined to Marlena, but other people are his flesh and blood after all.
So he avoided the topic and continued: "In view of your strength, you can come with me to the family treasury to choose a magic prop, and if you need it, you can use the exercise cheats on the top floor of the Snow Castle Library." “
"Thank you...... Father. ”
Although the word father was a little stiff, it was finally called out, and these two words seemed to turn into a warm current, flowing into Warrent's heart, untying a little knot.
"Well, can I have someone to take a look at it for me?"
......
Su Wen, who was reading a book, was a little stunned when he saw Warrent and Marina at the door, it was so late, what did this father and daughter do with me?
After explaining his intentions, Su Wen happily went.
Ellie, of course.
Ellie's nerves didn't find it, but a sensitive person like Marlena also saw that Su Wen intentionally or unintentionally seized every opportunity to let Ellie increase her knowledge or exercise herself, or teach Ellie some social common sense through various things, which can be said to be well-intentioned.
As far as a "teacher" is concerned, there is simply no better than this.
Although Ellie, who was asleep, was woken up and frantically beat Su Wen dozens of punches.
When she got up, she was seen by the Duke of Snow Castle and her daughter, and when she woke up, Ellie blushed all of a sudden, and on the way to the treasure house, she followed Su Wen all the way, using Su Wen's body to cover the sight of the two.
The treasure house of the Snow Castle family, in the territory of the Male Empire, can be said to be second only to the royal treasury.
This is the accumulation of this family for hundreds of years, in addition to some gold and silver scraps, there are also some strategic materials and some excellent magic equipment stored.
"Magic items, which are also divided into six levels, from bottom to top, are Normal, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange and God. ”
"Correspond to the six levels of strength?" asked Marlena.
"It's just a coincidence. Warrent said: "Although there are also substitutions for levels, each stage actually has its original name. ”
"The first tier is called Bronze and has three sub-phases, the second tier is Silver with five sub-phases, and the third tier is Gold with ten sub-phases. Most people, in their lifetime, are only capped at the gold level, and it is difficult to take a step forward. ”
"So there is a saying that there is a third-rate powerhouse?"
"That's a folk adventurer's joking, and it's not on the stage. Warrent pointed out Marina's problem, continuing: "The fourth layer is platinum, the fifth is diamonds, and as for the sixth layer, it is legend, and this stage only appears in myths and legends, and no one can reach ......"
This statement reminded Su Wen of the ranking levels in some Earth games, and produced an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"The three people we ate with in the evening were all platinum. Su Wen interjected.
Warrent looked sideways again, Victor didn't say anything about it, his strength was clearly revealed, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it. But David and Xiwen are both masters of hidden strength, only the older generation knows David's terrifying strength, and Xiwen, except for a few core characters, no one could have imagined that this young man who looks like a gentleman would be a platinum-level master.
After thinking about it, none of them could see the depth of Su Wen and Ellie, and this feeling of surprise suddenly became much less.
Could it be that this Su Wen is a diamond-level god?
