Chapter 3: Qualifications and Magic

With a bottle of highly nutritious liquid in his stomach, Edison slept all day before he was woken up by the sound of the maid opening the door and a urge to urinate.

When he opened his eyes, the light in the room hadn't changed, and there were a few more pots of plants by the window that he didn't recognize.

Anyway, if the leaves of a plant can grow into a smiling face, it will definitely not be a plant that can be seen everywhere on the earth. A few years later, Edison learned that it was a smiling grass, which was usually placed in the window of the maternity room of pregnant women, indicating the bitterness of the end, and the leaves themselves emitted a soothing smell.

And now, after Edison solved his first physiological need to the other world, he was fed the second bottle of black liquid since birth by their maid who had been guarding them.

After that, he was carried out of the delivery room.

Along the way, you can see the outside world from the window of the corridor that you occasionally skimmed, the greenery here is good, and I am definitely above the second floor now, this is Edison's sporadic information after a short observation, but unfortunately the maid's steps through the corridor are a little faster, Edison was carried into a small room before he could take a good look.

As soon as I entered the small room, the most conspicuous thing inside was the 26 letters of English hanging high, and another maid also carried a baby girl who was still a little dazed.

Soon, the baby girl was also gently shaken awake, and then the two looked at each other with some curiosity. Of course, Edison at this time was not yet rebellious enough to discern the sex of such a small baby.

But through the names of the maids in conversation, the difference between "she" and "he" still made Edison clear that he was a dragon and phoenix fetus rather than a twin.

However...... "What the hell is going on, I can't see the material and furniture at all, but there are such familiar things as English and Arabic numerals, and now how long has it been since I was called to learn the language?!"

Edison said that he had no understanding of this other world. Isn't it usually up to parents to tease their children to call them "Daddy, Mommy"?

"Forget it, let's see how she behaves in a while, I'll keep a low profile. ”

Edison thought so, but he had no idea that he was considered unordinary from the moment he could drink milk from a bottle on his own. And if you follow this baby girl, Edison's performance will only get more and more high-profile.

After a while, the maid began to teach them English, starting with a simple "ABCD ......", each with a word, and then having them read along. The lesson lasted about 10 minutes and it was over, and the maids happily carried them back to the nursery and hurried out again, feeling like they had won the lottery.

At this time, Edison felt that something was wrong, so he carefully recalled the teaching process at that time: when the maid taught them to read the "ABCD ......" for the fifth time, the baby girl next to him also began to read along, and then after a while, he also read a few letters, which I considered low......... No, it's not right, Edison reacted suddenly.

In his previous life, even if he was a person with a naturally high IQ, he didn't learn to read English so quickly!

When Edison noticed this, he turned his head sharply, only to find a pair of turquoise amber eyes approaching him, looking at him curiously.

Edison's eyes sharpened at once, and he said in Chinese: "Don't pretend, you are also a traverser, right?"

But Arilan (the baby's name) looked at Edison with a stupid look on her face, and grinned and grabbed her hand at Edison.

Edison twisted her outstretched hand with his backhand, pulled the person closer, and said in a serious and low tone in her ear: "Don't pretend to be stupid, you were exposed when you just learned the language, how can a baby learn so fast, tell me, how did you get here." ”

After speaking, Edison found that the other party still looked at him with a cute face, except for moving his head because of itchy ears.

Edison couldn't help but feel a little angry, so the strength in his hand increased a little. At this moment, Alyslan's expression instantly became aggrieved, and her face looked like she was about to cry, which frightened him so much that he hurriedly let go of his hand.

In his previous life, Edison was most afraid of girls crying, but this does not mean that Edison gave up so much. Instead, he began to tell his story in Chinese and stammered to introduce himself in English.

But except for Edison, when he said 26 letters, the baby girl read a few words along with her interest, and the rest of the time, Alyslan just looked at the chattering brother with some curiosity.

It was Edison's incessant humming that almost woke up his mother, who was resting.

Looking at the mother who said "Quiet!" in a daze, he fell asleep again. Edison breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, "I was really scared to death just now, and I thought I was exposed." But when he looked at Alyslan again, he looked at himself with innocent looks at his blue pupils, and through the reflection of her clear eyes, Edison saw his own expression: it was not like the expression of a newborn child, and the look of a sad face had seriously ruined the shape of the face.

And Edison's heart also began to have a serious shake in his judgment, he secretly muttered: "Is it really me mistaken? All the babies in the other world are so ?...... against the sky" These questions flashed like a marquee, but now no one can give him an answer, and Edison had to overwhelm his doubts.

......

And at this moment, on the other side of the house, the two maids who were still teaching Edison and Alyslan to learn the language just now were reporting to Lancer with a respectful face:

"Master, these two children should have magical qualifications, we teach it for the fifth time, and the young master will start to read it together, and the young master will also start to read it together for the sixth time, and the average child is definitely not so smart when he is born. ”

After saying that, she looked at Lancer with some expectation. As a rule, once such a baby can be taught (or taught), the maid and the maid's family are generally rewarded by the employer, and the whole family can live a prosperous life for several years. This is one of the reasons why the maids are so happy after teaching.

After hearing this, Lancer nodded happily and motioned for the maid to go to the housekeeper's place to receive the reward.

On the entire continent, although Lancer Tesla is only a seventh-order demon warrior on the surface, the surname Tesla is not a surname that an ordinary family can have.

Its ancestors overthrew the brutal alien empire that enslaved the human race at that time, and established the first magic emperor of the Magic Empire, Nikola Tesla, 18,000 years ago.

Nowadays, the magicians at that time have become great nobles one by one, and they have the strongest combat power, the most advanced magic technology, and the most magic resources...... The magicians married each other and formed families one after another.

Over time, a huge monopoly group of interests has been formed.

And because the magician liberated the human race in the first place, and had the power that ordinary people could not touch, unconsciously, the concept of the magician being a nobleman has also become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has become an indestructible conceptual bondage.

It is said that the five continents under the name of the entire empire still have their own names, but since the establishment of the Magic Empire, those outdated names have been completely forgotten by the world, and they are simply centered on the continent where the capital of the Magic Empire is located, and are simply divided into five continents: east, south, west, north and center.

And this vein where Edison was born is a branch of a side branch of the [Tesla] family in the Western Continent.

Lancer Tesla himself holds the title of Baron of the Empire by virtue of his military exploits, and is the rightful owner of a hundred miles of land. Although this achievement also has something to do with his surname, it is basically based on Lancer's own struggle.

......

When the door to the study was closed by the maid, the next moment, Lancer fell to his knees in a bit of a gaffe, and he was also muttering something, and the direction of his kneeling was the location of the grave of his deceased parents.

Back then, he devoted himself to making meritorious contributions and neglected a lot, and as a result, he wanted to raise his son but didn't wait for his relatives...... After a moment of silence and solemnity, Lancer stood up silently again, straightened his clothes, and calmed down the mood that had become agitated by the maid's words.

After all, according to the current maid, his two children may become such beings as magicians in the future. But the "earthy" method is not safe after all, in that case......

Thinking of this, Lancer hurried to the branch of the Tesla family in the Western Continent.

Originally, according to the process, 3 days after the child was born, the elders in the family would come to baptize the child, determine the child's bloodline, and accept the blessing of the Tesla family. (PS: This family blessing is not a formality, if someone from the big family dies unexpectedly, then the scene before your death will be recorded and transmitted back to your own family.) If you go missing, the family will be able to find you based on the sigil. To put it bluntly, this is both a kind of protection and a kind of constraint. )

But now, Lancer couldn't wait, and rushed all the way, Lancer unknowingly used his natal magic (explained later) to rush towards the clan of his western continent, and the 10-mile (about 16,000 meters away) journey was completed by Lancer in 15 minutes. (PS: It's about 18m/s, which is quite a speed of more than 60 yards.) )

Soon, Lancer met the headquarters of the [Tesla] family in the Western Continent, where a 7th-order magician was the patriarch and had served as the head of the family for 754 years.

If Lancer was not a demon warrior, without the special instructions of an old man in his early years, it is estimated that he would not have been able to meet this family master so smoothly. After some pleasantries, Lancer cut to the chase......

Lancer said calmly: "Patriarch, my wife gave birth to two children for me, those two children should have magical qualifications, you see, can you help......"

The patriarch glanced at Lan Se lightly, and said expressionlessly: "Oh! yes? Then you can tell me what kind of occupation you are and what kind of mother the child is." ”

Lancer said in a low voice, "I am now a seventh-order demon warrior, and the child's mother is just ...... He is a first-class mortal warrior. At this point, Lancer's original voice lowered.

The patriarch's voice became louder: "Then you are going to tell me what kind of help you want from the clan?"

Lancer said a little tactfully: "This, I just hope to use the [Innate Talent Detection Elixir] to confirm the magic qualifications again, if I can, I hope to train the child as a future magician from an early age." After saying this, Lancer's voice became louder again.

The patriarch asked in a somewhat disdainful tone, "Then you can tell me, with the two of you, what kind of magical qualifications will the children born have?"

Lancer replied apprehensively, "At least ordinary magical qualifications!"

The patriarch glanced at Lancer in some surprise, and said with a smile: "Lancer, it seems that you have changed over the years, and you have become slippery, you and that woman's children, at best, the magic qualifications are ordinary!"

Lancer's face changed suddenly, and when he knew that the two children might be magicians, the little excitement in his heart was instantly extinguished, but he also knew that what the patriarch said was correct according to common sense.

But...... Lancer argued excitedly, "But there have been no children with magical qualifications in our vein for 500 years, even if these two children only have ordinary qualifications, then ......"

Before Lancer could finish his words, he was interrupted by the patriarch: "What do you mean that even if two children only have ordinary qualifications, do you know how rare the [Innate Talent Detection Elixir] is? The main material in it is the [Fruit of Life] that even magicians are tempted by! What if your child is found to have no magical qualifications? Take a step back, if you have magical qualifications, do you know how difficult it is for a magician to advance to a magician with ordinary magical qualifications?......

"Level 1 to 5, level 6 to 9, how many magicians with ordinary qualifications are stuck on the threshold of level 5, do you know? Instead of a mage who can only go up to level 5......"

"Cultivating a level 5 mage from an early age is just the icing on the cake for the family. Whether the resources consumed at that time can be rewarded or another matter, as for going to the 6th order of magicians, then the price will be even greater? And there are too many uncertain factors in the middle, and if you are not careful, you will die, do you say the family's efforts are worth it?"

This series of rhetorical questions made Lancer feel extremely depressed, but he still tried his best to argue: "But isn't there a lot of magicians with ordinary qualifications in history, who finally advanced to magicians and broke through the legend in one fell swoop?"

The patriarch just smiled this time and said: "Then do you want the royal family of the Central Continent to divide your own resources, or let your children go to other clans to pass by?Or are you looking forward to what adventures your children have, or the outbreak of a big war? Then you don't have to look for me, you know, few of those magicians in history who are ordinary talents and late bloomers have been cultivated since childhood, and battle is their best catalyst...... Besides, a year ago, in the main family of the Central Continent, a child with medium magical qualifications was born, what are you going to fight for as a branch of the Western Continent?......" said Finally, the patriarch's smiling face was gone.

Immediately, the patriarch who felt that what he said was a little too much, his tone softened again, considering the rarity of children with magical qualifications, he persuaded again: "5 years old! When your children reach the age of 5, the price of magic qualification testing will be small, if they really have magical qualifications, the family will naturally consider cultivating, and they can't delay them, but from a young age, our Western Continent is weak, and we can't do it, you have to be considerate of the difficulties in the clan......"

Watching the patriarch continue to speak little by little, Lancer's heart also cooled, thinking back to the experience of the first half of his life, and a thought gradually rose from the bottom of Lancer's heart: "Maybe! I shouldn't let my children learn magic too early, they should have a freer childhood?!"

Eventually, when the patriarch finished speaking, Lancer said slowly, "That...... I want to ask a low-level magician to be my teacher, and popularize some common knowledge about magicians to children, the clan can always do it!"

After speaking, Lancer added: "I can pay for it myself, as long as the clan can help find a suitable candidate." "This time, the patriarch did not object to Lancer's proposal.

And Lancer saw that his proposal was approved, so he silently left the sect family in the Western Continent. Looking at Lancer's somewhat lost back when he left, the patriarch couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Hey, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, the children of the royal family with magical qualifications have not been broken, what can a side clansman fight for, is it really time to ...... it?"

A drizzle began to fall in the sky, but the second half of the patriarch's words were drowned in the rain.

At this time, no one would have thought of it. In the future, what waves will be made on the continent by Lancer's two children.

(PS: 8000 words a day, this is going crazy! Recommended! Collect it! Tomorrow I have something to go out, only one more, it is estimated that it will be sent very late, forgive me!
