Chapter 167: Father and Son Under the Dark Flow of Stupidity (1)
"Son, would you like to learn prophecy with me?" said the white-bearded man again.
"Yes...... But I don't have the talent to learn [prophecy], I tried it when I was in school, and I couldn't even do the simplest 'blank slate!'" Edison directly asked his own question.
"It's okay! Your talent can not be determined by a blank sheet of talent test, your own ability to jump out of the prophecy is your greatest capital. The white-bearded grandfather did not hesitate to point out Edison's true talent.
"What do you mean by a talent that jumps out of prophecy?" Edison was a little confused, and suddenly he remembered the scene when he encountered the prophecy crystal when he was in elementary school of magic, combined with what the "Devil Vine" had said, he suddenly reacted and asked, "Is any [prophecy] ineffective on me?"
"Well, if you can understand, do you still want to learn [Prophecy]?" the white-bearded old man complimented with a little surprise.
"Wait, old man, can you tell me your name?" Edison asked suddenly.
Who knew that before this question was spoken, the white-bearded old man with kind eyebrows became whiskered and glared, and he introduced in a slightly dissatisfied voice: "My name is Chino Mangdian, a 6th-order magician, I am only 400 years old this year, not old at all, if you join our lineage and worship my master Nocha Danmas, but remember to call me senior brother!"
The corners of Edison's mouth twitched subconsciously, and he looked at this honorable person with a little surprise, and then asked hesitantly, "Aren't you going to accept me as an apprentice?"
"No, this was arranged before the teacher disappeared, and once the Dark Star ...... discovered," Chino Mangdian explained halfway through when he suddenly realized that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, and immediately shut his mouth.
Lovely Dickon still asked, "Missing! You said Master Nocha Danmas is missing......
As a long-time subscriber to the Daily Mage, Edison was of course the number one contributor to the Mage Gossip section and the head of the newspaper, the Empire's first prophetic master, Nocha Danmas, and had met her at court from afar when he had visited Arilan.
Although Edison was possessed by the legendary jealous elf that day, there were only a few legends he had seen in the entire empire, and Edison's residual memory still made him recognize the identity of Nocha Danmas, so he couldn't help but blurt out:
"Didn't the Master go after that legendary lizardman, and how did he go missing?"
Chino Mangdian's expression was happy, and he suddenly said to Lancer beside him with a serious face:
"Although it is said that your prince has just woken up, I shouldn't bother more, but the matter involves the inheritance of the royal family prophet, please let me ask......"
"How much do you remember about the situation at that time, can you tell me everything?" Chino Mando turned his face and squatted slightly, looking at Edison solemnly at eye level.
Edison frowned and asked strangely, "That's fine, but didn't Zeus and my wife tell you anything? ”
A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Chino Mangdian's mouth, and he explained: "Master Rem Maxwell has sealed his magic tower since you were rescued, announcing that no one will be seen, and if she is not a legend, she will not come out. ”
"As for Zeus Vednefer, he did submit a full report of the incident to the Magical Council, but ...... However, when I tried to access the archives, I was denied information by the Council on the grounds that 'the Prophet does not have access to the confidential reports of the Council'!"
"This is simply unreasonable, if the teacher is here, those people will not dare to refuse my request......"
"Ahem...... I'm sorry, but in fact, I also investigated other people who were far away from the scene, but because you were at the center of the explosion, the smoke and heat excluded all witnesses, and no one could tell what was going on. ”
"And ......" Chino Mando said with a little slurring, as if considering whether to continue.
At this time, Lancer stopped Chino Mangdian in time and said: "Your Excellency, my son still doesn't know what happened next, if you want to know the situation from my son, I believe my son will not deliberately hide anything......
As he spoke, Lancer quickly glanced at Edison and asked, "Do you say yes......?"
Edison nodded again and again, "That's right! In fact, because I was corrupted by the power of original sin at that time, I only saw Master Nocha Danmas chasing the legendary lizardman away, what happened after that, and why did the master disappear, you ask me, I don't know." ”
"But I can guarantee that the legendary lizardman was in a state of serious injury at that time, and he couldn't even release the realm, and I believe in the methods of Master Nocha Danmas, it will be fine......"
When Chino Mandian heard this, the expression on his face was so dark that even Edison couldn't detect what he was thinking, or if he wasn't thinking at all?!
After a moment of silence, he stood up and said to Edison's father and son: "Thank you for being willing to tell me these things, and then I will arrange the initiation ceremony as soon as possible, and from then on, the little junior brother will be the backup astrologer of the Imperial Astrology Department." ”
When Lancer heard this, his face changed slightly, as if he was a little angry and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
Edison observed his words and quickly said: "Thank you for the master's kindness, I think I should be more cautious about such a big thing as joining the astrology department, I can arrange the entrance ceremony in a hurry first, and it is not too late to wait for the body to fully recover!"
"Besides, the master doesn't want me to enter the door before my injury is healed, and I will make a fool of myself at the entrance ceremony!"
When Chino Mandian heard that Edison did not refuse, he said yes again and again, and then withdrew from the ward, giving up the rest of the time to the father and son.
Suddenly, both father and son were a little silent, in just 2 years, Edison spent almost half of his time in the hospital bed, but even the experience of the remaining half of the time can almost be written into a legendary story.
But every time I see my son, it's in the intensive care unit of the empire, how can Lancer, who is a parent, say with peace of mind: "You did a good job, you are worthy of being my son, and you didn't disgrace your surname".
Naturally, he couldn't say things like accusing Edison of not doing well enough, not good enough.
In fact, without the information provided by Edison, his research on the legendary demon warrior would still be in a state of confusion, and now with the full support of the Empire, with the research materials left by Boris and his predecessors, plus the restoration of that battle.
Lancer can even proudly say that the empire has taken a step forward on the road of demon warriors, and legendary demon warriors will inevitably appear in their own hands, but the source of all this is thanks to Edison!
After a while, Lancer spoke: "It's okay if you're fine, next time...... Don't worry us anymore......"
Edison felt the corners of his eyes moisten slightly, and there were a thousand words, but in the end they all turned into one word: "Father ......" (to be continued. )
