Chapter 13 Obedience
Bloodline is actually something that can be completely discarded, don't be blinded by the pursuit of power, the truth is the only eternal - the king of warlocks, Sandru Quinn.
Compared with getting along with the old lady, the other pair of parents is much better.
Richie always felt that he was a glass in the eyes of Duke Victor Swan, for the old man always looked at him with a wolfish glow in his eyes. This made him feel like he was going to be eaten at any moment, and Monnie felt the same way, so neither brother nor sister was very kind to see his true father.
But the indifferent attitude of the two couldn't stop the enthusiasm of an old man who had come to have a son at all. What's more, these two children have been reconciled by the blood of legendary mages, and they will definitely be able to develop and grow the Swan family in the future?
The morning after the quarrel between mother and son, Richie opened his eyes and saw all he saw was a beard, and then Victor had a flattering look of anticipation.
"Son, daughter, I have already ordered that all the school-age teenagers in the territory will come to Stormwind City for testing, and the best two hundred will become the servants of the two of you. The first batch has arrived today, so let's see if you have time to go over and pick one?"
A month ago, when Victor learned that both siblings were mentally mature, he immediately began to plan. At the time, Richie and Monnie were still in a state of confusion and didn't understand much about it, but now he understands the meaning very well.
Most of the legendary powerhouses in the Great World of Truth have one or more legions, some of which are intelligent races such as humans and dwarves, some are demonic creations such as mechanical golems and gargoyles, and there are undead spirits such as necromancers, zombies, and lichs...... There is a wide variety.
This is prepared for extraterritorial wars, which is the duty of every legend. Extraterritorial warfare will bring great benefits to these legends, new species, new materials, new cultivation resources, and most importantly, a new power system will bring a lot of inspiration to these strong people, and there is usually a high chance that they will go further, so most people will also be very active in building their own legions.
The same is true of the Swan family, whether it is Grus Gawain and the red dragon who have already embarked on the path of truth, or the level 10 legends such as the ogre Papacama and the dwarf Gareth Hammer, or the large armies of the Red Dragon Legion and the Earth Bear Cavalry Legion, they are all his personal subordinates, but the well-qualified ones are better treated and have a closer relationship with the lord, and such people are often called followers.
Richie knows, don't look inside the castle of Stormwind as if the legend is all over the place, in fact, in this world and the surrounding power system, it is very difficult for any creature to become a legend, just look at the more than thirty red dragons outside the castle, among them, only the old dragon Farisotao was promoted to the legend, and most of the others were stuck at that pass until they died.
Although the Great World of Truth is the most powerful one among the thousands of planes around, there is only a general direction for the promotion of legends, especially how to embark on the path of truth, and the method of becoming a level 11 powerhouse, and there is no fixed formula or method. So every promoted legend is unique.
Similarly, there are undoubtedly very few servants who can have the opportunity to be promoted to a legend, and each one is extremely precious.
The system of retainers in this world is somewhat similar to the retainer system in ancient China's Warring States period, where people pay great attention to credibility, and once the relationship between the monarch and the minister is established, they will keep their promises until death. Betrayers will be spurned and resisted by the whole world, and the sovereign usually signs a magic contract with the retainer, who is responsible for the resources, knowledge, and equipment needed to improve his strength, and the subordinate, who is responsible for the life and death of the regent, and the cost of breaking the contract is difficult for anyone to bear. This is also an important reason for the popularity of the subordinate system.
Richie understood that Duke Swan's move was to build a future team for him and Monnie. Victor selected the two hundred people with the highest qualifications in the territory for him and Monnie, and spent a huge amount of resources and costs to cultivate them, and one day in the future, there may be one or two of them who will be promoted to legends, and today's cost will be earned.
And at that time, this will undoubtedly be a rich guarantee for the two of them to gain a foothold in this world.
"Are you so sure that the two of us can be promoted to legendary?" this is Richie's question, no wonder he is not confident, although he is Olivia's child, but the red dragon Fariascottao, as a more powerful existence than the female elf, none of his twenty or so children have been promoted to legend, that is a dragon.
"I can at least guarantee that one of you will succeed, just like me. It's just that after this kind of promotion, it's very difficult to embark on the path of truth, but it's also remarkable, isn't it? This is the foundation of our Swan family! It is the foundation of our family's ability to stand in this world for thousands of years without falling. ”
To be honest, Richie was still fascinated to hear that he was 100% guaranteed to be promoted to a legend. The kind of master who flies all over the sky, and you don't need to buy a ticket for long-distance travel in the future.
It was just a discordant voice that came at this time: "Cut! Then let him do it for him, the old lady is not interested in these fights and killings." Fuck off, don't disturb my beauty sleep. ”
This awareness of the importance of maintenance from the age of a month is definitely the most advanced in the panplane.
Victor nodded, and agreed. In his opinion, Monnie's greatest role is like his sister and wife, it is enough to eat and wait for death to give birth to blood. It's just that his sister has a lack of soul and can only sit in a wheelchair with drooling every day and be pushed by the maid to bask in the sun, while Monnie is a lively master, that's all.
"No!"
Hey! Victor and Richie glanced at each other, Richie greeted him with a look and was taken out of the room, the daily life of the mother and daughter is about to start again, yesterday is good, the memory of the elf does not look as good as a chicken, even if there is only a lonely certificate of the female legend, it is enough to explain everything.
But Victor had a different opinion, and the old bastard shook his head: "It's a pity, if only you were a fool, our family never minded the heiress." ”
Brother, what kind of grudge is this?! Richie thinks that he has the same saliva as his blood mother, and he is happy to see everyone, and he feels that he has no love.
"Nani?"
"You may not know it, but Monnie is a natural warlock with a strong bloodline. And you're not, so her chances of being promoted to legend are much higher than yours, waste. ”
Mom buys skin, no wonder people call you a miser, even you care about this, as for it?
"How tall?"
"I don't know, according to the rules, parents can't test their children's talents, but except for me and your mother, there is no mage who can handle it. So somebody will come over and test your talent in a while. ”
Come to think of it, Papacama is a warlock who focuses on bloodline mining, and is not an arcane master who specializes in knowledge. Although the old dragon and the giant bear Foitek can do magic, they are also the same as warlocks, most of them are obtained from the awakening of blood, and they will naturally live for a long time, and the things that can be understood when they wake up from a dream are naturally not intensively studied. Not to mention the rest of the dwarves, dragon knights, and bear knights, they are all kitchen knife teams and are not good at mental work.
Of course, Victor's so-called 'can't take it' also means that it doesn't match the identity of the duke's family, in fact, this kind of small odd job can be easily handled by any third-level mage.
