Chapter 16: Listening to Daddy's Tales of the Past (Part I)
Looking at Edison's eloquent self-confidence, listening to his reasoned and well-founded analysis, Lancer couldn't help but be silent, because the Edison in front of him made him feel a little strange and uneasy.
He always felt that something was wrong, as if this step was an abyss.
"Is this still my child? is it really the Edison I watched grow up? Tesla?!"
But his sanity made him feel gratified, only in this way, his children can better survive in this world and achieve greater achievements.
Parents' feelings about their children are sometimes so contradictory, on the one hand, they are looking forward to Jackie Chan, on the other hand, they are the blessings of peace and security.
But Lancer was worthy of being a ninth-order demon warrior, and he quickly stopped the inexplicable emotions surging in his heart, and began to say slowly: "I don't know what else you are hiding from me, but I know that now you are considered to have grown up." You have been a very assertive person since you were a child, and later I knew that your qualifications were even better than your sister's, but I couldn't give you the greatest support and help!"
"Back then, I didn't hesitate to send your sister away, because I knew that it was the best choice for her, but when I found out that your qualifications were better than your sister's, I hesitated!"
"Because you are already my last child, so I chose to conceal it, watching your sister lead you step by step, watching you work hard but being said to be illegal, watching your growth, I don't know what I can give you, just because I'm not a magician!"
"Now, seeing you hurt like this, my instinctual guilt. I feel like I'm wrong, and sometimes I think about it!"
"What if...... If I had sent you away, how could you have encountered such a thing? But when I thought about it, I felt that I had done nothing wrong...... Because you're my only son left!"
After saying this, Lancer's voice couldn't help but pause, and he seemed to be a little choked. He calmed down again before continuing:
"Just now, I stood outside the door for a long time before I came in, but I didn't know how to comfort you, but at last I knocked on the door, because I knew that I was your father, and even if you were depressed, I couldn't give up on you! But now, I am very happy to see that you can still plan your future so energetically and in such an orderly manner...... Really! You're stronger and more mature than I thought you would......"
"I will support your plan, but this matter still has to be considered in the long run, after all, the current 'Warrior Revival Association' is no longer the 'Warrior Revival Association' of the past, if you want, just listen to me tell the story of the past!"
Edison listened to Lancer. I felt an inexplicable touch in my heart, and the image of my father who had been silent and thick like a mountain for many years was quietly shattered. But for some reason, there is a feeling that the person in front of me is more real and intimate.
If the man who is responsible and responsible is his father, then the man who can talk to him openly now gives him a sense of intimacy as an old friend for many years, and finally Edison nodded heavily and listened attentively.
Lancer closed his eyes, slightly recalled his past years, and pondered his words before he slowly spoke:
"My father and mother. That is, your grandfather and grandmother are just ordinary civilians, although they are also surnamed Tesla, but they only help the family guard a small shop, and they have never left the small city where they live in their lives. ......β
"And I was smart from a young age, and was considered a child with magical aptitude. So...... When I know I can't be a magician, you know how lost I am......"
So, I decided to leave this home and enter the best warrior academy of the time...... And when I came out, I didn't live up to my parents' expectations, and I had become a level 5 mortal warrior, although everyone said that I was a once-in-a-century genius warrior, but I was still not satisfied......"
"That's what your grandfather said to me when I was about to go on the battlefield...... But I didn't expect that this would be the last thing he said face to face. β
"On the battlefield of flesh and blood, when I killed a lizardman for the first time, it was a majestic figure who helped me block the enemy's magic, and later I learned that he was a ninth-order demon warrior in the dungeon, and our grand commander......"
"As soon as I came out of the teleportation array, I knew that the Grand Commander was dead, and I was the only one who survived all the partners who carried out the plan...... Then, just after returning to the city, I received the news of my parents' death, and at that moment, my heart was broken...... (Here Lancer hides part of his relationship with Elilan's mother, Edison's grandmother)"
"When I ...... again (For details, see Chapter 1~11.5 of Volume 1.5 "Reminiscences of the Past)"
"There is too much helplessness in this world, sometimes you can only move forward with a smile while shedding blood and tears, but you can't take out your cowardice to win sympathy, because it is just the weak wail of the weak......"
"I don't know how much my story can help you, but I hope that your future will go further......"
"As for your magical qualifications, I know if you don't tell me,...... When you're surrounded by wolves, I'm ready to strike...... But when my life was in danger, a powerful burst of power from your body shook me, and I knew then that my son was not an ordinary magical talent. (See Chapter 17 of Childhood in Volume 1)"
Then, I consulted a lot of information, only to know that there is a rare situation in this world called "unequal reflux of qualifications", in the womb you should actually be above the average magic qualification, just because of some soul reasons, your magic qualifications inexplicably flowed to your sister, but there must be a loss, which also creates your incomparably powerful spiritual power. You can absorb magic all the time, and most of these people are extraordinary......"
"Then I had a vague expectation, son, that you were destined for a magnificent life, because the first person to confirm this rare soul qualification was the ancestor of our family!"
"I started feeling happy, but then I was worried...... Because I know that there is a price to be a hero...... But I can't stop this from happening, and I can only hope that the days of peace and tranquility will be longer...... A little longer......"
"I've let go of all the affairs of the 'Revival Society', I just want to be by your side more, and I'm starting to rejoice that I saw off your sister, because she can get enough strength from the royal family to protect herself, and at the same time provide you with a strong backstage. β
......
"Regarding the attitude towards the Revival Society, I can only say that you can't be naΓ―ve enough to trust everyone, because the huge interests are enough to blind people's minds, and maybe you yourself don't realize how much interest you have in your hands. β
"The possibility of a warrior breaking through the legend, the means of healing after the collapse of the magic pool and the spiritual sea, the unknown and new magic running route, this is how much value is contained in each piece of information, and behind this is not only interests, but also persecution from the greedy!"
......
At this time, Edison couldn't help but say, "What's there to be afraid of!? As long as we push things on the alien race, and then hand things over to the leaders of the 'Renaissance Society' branches on several other continents, I don't believe they will not be tempted to study it." β
"And as long as the research has results, with your father's special status in the 'Warrior Revival Society', and in conjunction with Aunt Charlotte's identity, it is not very simple to withdraw the results of technical research, take the opportunity to remove the positions of the other continents in power, and control the entire 'Revival Society'?"
"You know, if these technologies really want to produce results, someone will have to come to the experiment, and a lot of people will definitely die behind it, so as long as their corpses are announced at that time, and a few of them collude with necromancers, won't everything be over?!"
......
It's just that no one noticed that when he said this, Edison's "Sakuramitsu real name" smiled brighter and yawned slightly! And Edison's words were clearly a little more "demagoguery". (To be continued.) )
