Chapter 114: Pure-Blood Son
Putting away the black wings that represented the power of the fallen angel's light, Ulysses stepped down from the sky.
In the course of this relaxing walk, he found that the castle under his feet was very different from some of the castles he had occasionally seen in the past. This mix of quaintness and freshness does not look like a modern building at all, but rather like an ancient city that would only appear in a painting a long, long time ago.
After countless wars, especially the necromantic apocalypse that almost wiped out the intelligent life of the continent three hundred years ago, such ancient buildings are almost extinct, and even the magnificent buildings like the Sophia Palace have only recently been built.
As for the biggest gap between ancient and modern castles, that is the city's magical defense system completed by modern magic. This large-scale magical defense system, which uses the magic of gems and building materials, only began to gain popularity after the advent of modern magic.
In ancient times, the only cities that had such an all-round magical defense system were those cities that gathered a large number of magicians. And now even private individuals can furnish it if they have enough money and materials, just like the estates of Lufa, Kayi, and Zofie.
And the more he looked, the more parts of modern architecture were lacking or even missing. Perhaps only from the outside, this castle is not as beautiful and luxurious as many castles now, but it naturally has a simple and atmospheric style, which makes people feel the vicissitudes of history it has.
However, judging from the traces of the rocks, it seems that the castle did not look like it had been built for long at all. And for some reason, Ulysses has a vague sense of familiarity when looking at this castle.
Have you ever seen a castle in this style in a book you've read before?Ulysses stared at the building, which exuded an ancient aura all over its body, and its silhouette was reflected in his eyes.
Wait, this point, that point, and that side...... Although he didn't know what it was, Ulysses looked at the architectural layout of the castle and unconsciously remembered the starry sky he had seen when he was asleep.
Stepping on the point in the middle of the castle, corresponding to the brightest star in the sky, Ulysses seemed to grasp something and fell into deep thought.
It is very similar, although the specific parts are a little different, but the most important essence is fully reflected. The castle itself is an astronomical observatory!
Ulysses did not know how this conclusion was deduced, and in fact he could not find much direct evidence and information, but he came to this result naturally, ignoring the countless processes involved.
............ Similarly, in this ancient castle, there is more than one old man observing Ulysses.
In a room draped with a red curtain, about a dozen old men looked through the window at Ulysses, who stood at the top of the castle.
Their expressions were different, but they were all full of excitement, anticipation, and gratitude.
When Ulysses himself pushed open the door to the top floor and appeared in the wide square, almost everyone stood up with ecstatic expressions.
When Ulysses flew above the clouds, temporarily out of their sight, the old men behaved like children.
"There will be no mistake, the person who can open the door of that observatory with his own hands must be the descendants of our family. Look, he did it!"
"He flew up, oh my God, how old he is, he already has such power. Even if you don't reach level eight, it's definitely not far. ”
"This is a talent higher than Anakin, and the Supreme God has blessed our family so that the last bloodline of the family is so good. :
When Ulysses fell from the sky and began to observe the castle and find some clues to it, everyone was in a stir.
"Look, he seems to have discovered something, and he is directly standing at the most suitable point for stargazing, does he still have the talent of a stargazer!"
"Unbelievable, did he discover the secrets of the castle the first time he stood there?"
"Thanks to the Supreme God, our Ana family is finally a successor, and we will not cut off the direct bloodline in this generation. ”
"The glory and mission of our family still need him to inherit it. ”
"Ahem!" Eventually, one of the old men sitting in the highest seat coughed and clapped his hands, stopping the old men from showing excitement.
They were not ordinary old men, but the elders and patriarchs of the various branches and clans of the Ana family who had been specially summoned back. And sitting at the top is the current leader of the Elder Church of the Ana Family, the former patriarch who has long been living in seclusion in this castle and does not care about the world.
"Well, there's no doubt about it. "Although Ulysses' identity has already been confirmed through the report of Archpriest Arnad, for the sparsely populated Ana family, 100% confirmation of Ulysses' identity is a priority above anything else.
As for Ulysses's origins, they have already investigated. However, all investigations were conducted only until the time when Ulysses was abandoned. It has not been confirmed who Ulysses' parents were.
However, with the talent he showed and the test he accomplished, there was no doubt that he had the purest blood of the Ana family in his body.
"No objections!"
"Totally confirmed!"
"He is the future of the Ana family, the last hope!"
"I recommend my three daughters, and it's okay to marry them together. ”
"No, my princess is the most suitable, she has one-third of the direct bloodline!"
"Isn't your princess only twelve years old, and she is too young. ”
"A commoner family can have a child at the age of twelve, and my princess will definitely be able to do it! ”
Seeing the elders of the many branches arguing, the former patriarch sitting at the top couldn't help but touch his beard and showed a smile that only he knew.
The real candidates for these branches are still in the preparatory stage, and Noah of his family has already achieved the results, but unfortunately he does not look pregnant. However, as long as we continue to do so, we will definitely achieve the ultimate victory.
The direct lineage of the Anna family must not be severed, not only for the sake of this ancient family, but also for the entire church and all mankind. For this reason, even if some rules have to be broken, it is not necessary.
Only these people know how important the inheritance of the Ana family's direct bloodline is, and that is a big secret.
