During the five days he came to the Floating Island of the Huskes family, Leon was almost closed, did not attend any salons and banquets, and even after leaving the kingdom of God, he was still accustomed to staying alone in the laboratory, the meditation room, the library, and his own room. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This made many people who wanted to get to know him quite complaining, and refused the kind invitation, and many people thought that Leon was just a withdrawn and arrogant guy.

It wasn't until the fifth day that Leon ended his days, as Ascot had returned to Bauhinia Castle. The first thing the little fat man did when he came back was to ask if Leon had returned.

Leon, led by the maid, went to find the Ashi.

Accompanying Ascot to Bauhinia Castle was his father, Viscount Eden, the famous mad dog of the Empire. Leon met Eden for the first time, and it was difficult for him to associate the elegant middle-aged aristocrat in front of him with a title like the Mad Dog of the Empire. Eden was very different from his son, well-proportioned, even fit, except that he was a little pale and not tall, slightly shorter than Leon.

When Leon met him, Eden was enjoying afternoon tea with Ascot, and Aster was very happy to see Leon, and invited him to stay with him for a cup of black tea and some small desserts made by Ascot. Eden didn't really care about Leon's arrival, he was reading a copy of the "Sonnets" in a metal case, and waited until Leon walked up to him before turning his gaze to Leon: "Are you Leon? ”

His voice was magnetic, but his pace was a little tepid, and he wore a monocle in his left eye, and he looked more like a scholar than a soldier.

"Eat some biscuits, the dog's talent in cooking is a genius. Eden said mildly.

"Thank you, uncle. Leon did so, and the waiter next to him served him a cup of black tea.

Eden nodded and said no more. In fact, he said very little, just a few polite words, and then looked intently at the "Sonnet" in his hand, and from time to time picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, or picked up a biscuit and put it to his mouth to chew slowly.

Unlike his father Eden's taciturnity, Ashi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, was obviously much more excited.

After eight years of absence, Yashi has not changed much compared to when he was a child, only a little taller, but he used to be half a head taller than Leon, but now he is slightly shorter than Leon. In terms of body shape, although it is not as round as when I was a child, it is still insulated from the word thin. However, after eight years of training, this once cowardly Yashi has become much more manly, at least not like a squirming aristocratic lady.

However, due to Eden's presence, Ascot was obviously very reserved, and he put a piece of honey cake on the plate and served it to Leon: "Leon taste it, this is the cake I made with my own hands." ”

Leon tasted a few bites, and couldn't help but light up, the cake was very delicious, not inferior to the craftsmanship of the Haskez dessert chefs, and the craftsmanship of Ascot had improved a lot, as Eden said, his son was a genius in cooking. It's just that only he knows how much dissatisfaction and self-deprecation Eden still has when he says this.

"Thank you, Ashi, the cake was delicious. Leon praised as he ate.

"You still call me fat. As he said this, Ascot glanced at his father, and saw that Eden was still concentrating on reading, so he shouted a little louder, "It's okay. ”

Leon put down the cake and said with a smile: "I thought that after coming back, you have gotten rid of the title of fat man." ”

Yashi immediately stepped down his face and said dejectedly: "I have really lost a lot of weight in the days when I studied with Elder Freyer, but after returning home, the temptation of dessert made me unable to control myself at all. Don't talk about me, Leon, tell me about the days you spent studying with Master Flatt in the Kingdom of God. ”

Leon briefly talked about his days in the kingdom of God, and there was nothing to talk about, his daily life was very boring, and he was constantly studying and practicing, and it could be summarized in almost a few sentences. As for Morransi and Tia, he did not speak, nor did he intend to tell anyone.

At this point, Eden interjected and asked, "Vlat, Vlatt Kao, the Blood Spirit Tattooer?"

"Yes, has my uncle heard of my teacher?" asked Leon politely.

Eden smiled: "There are not many people in the empire who don't know about his fame, Blood Spirit Pattern Master, Blood Spirit Pattern. Heh, if it weren't for the fact that the bloodline spirit pattern was too expensive, I would have bought some for my subordinates. After all, every lord has a few subordinates with outstanding talents but no bloodline talent. However, Vlat's reputation in the Empire is not very good, and you better not advertise that your teacher is Vlat. ”

Leon was still very grateful for Eden's kind suggestion: "I'll pay attention." ”

Eden smiled and continued to look at the book in his hand.

Seeing that Eden was no longer talking, Ashi dared to continue asking, "Leon, what is the Kingdom of God like?

Leon answered Ashi's questions one by one, but his answer made Ashi a little disappointed, he couldn't believe that Leon had spent eight years so boringly, such a kingdom of God was not as perfect as it was written in the scriptures, and it was desirable.

Ashi glanced at Leon sympathetically and said in surprise, "It's hard to imagine that your life is so boring. ”

"No, I think it's okay. Leon was indeed telling the truth, and apart from some unpleasant memories, Leon was satisfied with most of his days in the Kingdom of God, "It was very fulfilling to swim in the ocean of knowledge. Moreover, the mysteries of the arcane and spirit patterns also made me very interested and eager to explore and master the power to become myself. What about you, fatty, what are your days of studying with Elder Freil?"

"It's hard every day, Elder Freer is very strict, he just needs medicine to boil his fighting qi at the beginning, he practices sword skills every day, and he can't lift his hands when he gets up the next day after practice. In the first few years, I was just practicing the basics, but in the next few years, the teacher took me to a place ......"Ahem"

Eden coughed twice suddenly, and Aster immediately knew that he had accidentally said something that could not be said, he glanced apologetically at Leon, and when he saw Leon waving his hand unwillingly, he continued, "That place is a secret of our branch, and it can't be said." It's about fighting monsters inside, you don't know, the first time I fought a wind wolf, I was almost scared and fainted, if it wasn't for Elder Frell kicking my ass twice, I would definitely not be able to get up on the ground. ”

"Haha. Ascot's words made Leon laugh, and he could imagine the scene full of comedy.

Ascot also laughed: "Although it is hard to practice on weekdays, I can go out for a walk at least once a week, and I have a few hours a day to do what I like to do, such as making some desserts in the kitchen." I think it's good to go to some dance parties and salons once in a while. ”

"That doesn't sound bad. Leon took a sip of black tea and said nondeniably.

"So you're only a seventh-level warrior now, while Leon is already an eighth-level intermediate magician. Eden said with some dissatisfaction, "Ashi, you are three years older than Leon, and you practiced three years before him. ”

Leon was a little surprised that Eden saw through his strength at a glance, but after thinking about it, it suddenly dawned on him, although Eden's strength didn't know how strong it was, it was definitely more than enough to see that he was an eighth-level magician.

Ashi was reprimanded by Eden, and lowered his head sadly, but he didn't dare to speak, but muttered in a low voice: "Leon's talent is already very good, it's not normal to surpass me." ”

"What did you say?"

"No, nothing. ”

Eden sighed, looking at his son's cowardice, he had a headache: "Yashi, your talent is not weaker than anyone else, even among your peers in the family, but your personality is really a headache for me." ”

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, father. ”

Eden covered his forehead, he didn't want to hear such weak and submissive words, and he might be happier if Ashi dared to jump up and confront him. However, since he opened the conversation, Eden simply closed the book in his hand and put it on the table, and said to Leon: "There are still twenty days left before the day of the family trial, do you need my help to prepare for you?"

Leon was stunned for a moment: "What do you need to prepare?"

"A lot, such as buying some powerful magic items, going to the churches of the gods to buy some holy water and stuff like that, and buying potions. Eden gave some examples, "The most important thing is that in ten days, the guard camp will be opened, and then each child who participates in the trial will be able to go to the guard camp to select two suitable subordinates, and there will be a fifty-man legion." ”

Leon was dumbfounded, and no one told him in advance.

At this moment, a waiter stepped forward and whispered a few words in Eden's ear.

Eden nodded, waved him down, and said with a smile, "I almost forgot, it seems that I don't have to be nosy." ”

Leon asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Eden laughed: "Your leader, Ling Lu, he will arrive before the opening of the guard camp and arrange everything for you." He had a good relationship with me, and I only received his letter in the morning, and I took a few days off to prepare for the family trial for you, and I almost forgot. ”

Leon's heart warmed when he heard this, and the leader of his spiritual inspiration still cared about him very much, and even came to prepare something for him to participate in the trial.

"Then I'm not too nosy. Eden stood up and said to Leon, "I have some other things, you and Ascot should have fun for a few days after not seeing each other for so long." ”

"Okay, then I'll take my leave today. Leon saw that the time was almost up, and also offered to take his leave.
