Chapter 42 The Right of Succession to Titles
Theodore's eyes narrowed slightly for a moment, and then he chuckled: "It seems that you have really grown a lot this time, my dear brother, you are too frivolous compared to the original." ”
"Oh~ is it? Why didn't I feel it? Or do you think I've joined your boring game? ”
Iren's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a little contempt.
Theodore chuckled: "Of course it's different, you didn't have that confidence in the past, but now you seem to have some." There's one thing I love, but I never seem to have told you, Elen...... Being in the whirlpool, despising the ocean, will eventually sink. ”
"This is the famous university scholar Anskin. Famous quotes from Verozel. ”
"And the original you, perfectly confirmed this sentence, you have the surname and blood of Okmos, but you despise the struggle for power and profit that comes from it, so you will always be pulled into it, and then lose something."
His voice took on a bit of seriousness at the end.
Thinking that these brothers and sisters of his own are not simple goods, otherwise he would not have doubted them in the first place about becoming a night watchman.
Of course, in Iren's mind, his brothers and sisters still haven't gotten rid of suspicion, and Theodore in front of him is one of his key suspects.
Elen's smile was a little more playful, "So, did you look at me with the attitude of watching a play?" ”
"Why, you're a smart man, Iren. A moment of naivety doesn't matter to you, but I like you very much, after all, you are the funniest one in the family. ”
Theodore said sincerely.
But in Elion's eyes, he resembles a cunning fox.
A pure face, a fox's heart?
Iren found things interesting.
"Tell me, what the hell are you doing all of a sudden? I don't know when you cared so much about my brother. If I finished talking early, I would have gone back to rest earlier, after all, I was also tired. ”
"It's sad, my dear brother......"
Theodore showed a sunny smile and reminded: "I just want to tell you, read more of the poem on page 87 of the Book of Poetry, I remember that you and the little girl of the Ellinson and Chokfana families mentioned it during an afternoon tea, and it just so happens that your dear brother and I also like it very much, so I specially found a poem that I particularly like, and I want to share it with you." ”
He said with a sunny face, but in an extremely frivolous tone.
Then he pretended to be sad and covered his chest, "Oh, seriously, Iren, you know so many cute little flowers, your brother and I are free marriages, aren't you going to introduce a few to me?" ”
He's like a playboy trying to join his brother's social circle and then pick up girls.
But his eyes were very calm.
Eren knew that his brother was making a metaphor.
"Boring trick, you're too verbose, and don't talk about my tea party like an uncovered wine banquet......"
"Huh...... Okay, then I'm leaving, remember to get some rest, Iron. ”
Theodore raised his left hand and waved, leaving without hesitation.
……
The castle of Okmos is like a small city, extremely large, and Iren's residence not only has its own large rooms, but also has its own spell laboratory and garden.
This huge castle is not a closed and gloomy environment, it is a spiral structure, and there are many floating buildings, and then connected to the castle by transparent plank paths and chains, if you put it in the world of Iren's previous life, it is even more in line with people's fantasy imagination than Hogwarts House.
Iren's room was located in the west-central part of the castle, and outside the room was a huge garden, above which was a transparent alchemical material, a barrier made of a substance called the Void Crystal.
An inch of empty crystal can buy a Deen Town.
In this magical world, prices are so unbalanced.
On top of the empty crystal, a large number of magic circles for heating and manipulating water are inscribed, turning snow into water, and making the water form a vivid sculpture, some of which can also move, and let the sunlight shine into the garden through the empty crystal.
As soon as he entered his garden, Ilyen saw two male and two female servants standing on their left and right, saluting him.
"Master Iren!" *4
The greetings in unison did not make Yi Lun unnatural, after all, the previous Yi Lun was also him, and he who has lived this kind of life for seventeen years will not have a strong disgust because of the teaching of human rights in his previous life, maybe there is, but it can only be said that he has adapted to it.
I can be regarded as corrupted by capital, right? Maybe I should try to hang myself on the street lamp?
Eren suddenly thought a little jokingly in his heart.
"You go down first, Sunny you get me a cup of tea, Brown you tell all visitors at the door that I need a break for the time being, and I don't want to see anyone."
He casually instructed the two of them, and then walked into his room, the door opening and closing.
Arriving in his bedroom, lying on the huge, soft bed, Iren felt a little more relaxed inside.
Do you think this is your home after all?
Even if your own siblings are not a good thing?
Also, after all, I have lived there for seventeen years.
Iren recalled Theodore's previous words, and the contents of the Mezhe Book of Poetry were recalled to him, and he remembered what the poem on page 87 was.
"The first leaf in the sun is also nourished by the roots buried deep in the ground, and it is a miracle cycle......
Eren muttered, "Is the leaf the heir of the tree, the first leaf, the eldest of the father's descendants?" Underground roots, traditionalism...... That said, Did Willard join the traditionalists? ”
Does Theodore mean that the eldest son of the Okmos family, Willard, did it? And it's the traditionalists who do it?
Theodore seems to have revealed this information to Ellen, but Ellen only believes a third of it, that is, Willard is a traditionalist.
He will naturally investigate this point in the future, and lie to him about this, it can only be said that Theodore is simply stupid.
As for Willard and the traditionalists, it is very likely that they have set up a conspiracy against themselves, but it may also be a trap designed by Theodore to make him Willard's enemy.
But no matter what......
Iren had a little confirmation from the available information.
"Has the dispute over the title begun to rage...... That's right, after all, my father is almost two hundred years old, and in ten years at most, he will choose to take off his title and travel, just like the Earls of Ocmoss in the past. ”
For human beings, even if they become the fourth rank, they will only have a lifespan of more than two hundred years, and the fifth-order legend will only have a lifespan of three hundred to four hundred years.
Therefore, the earls of the Okmos family generally reach the age of two hundred, or even earlier, they will step down from their titles and enter the dimensional sea to travel and seek breakthroughs.
Other big aristocratic families are basically like this.
So the Okmos family, I don't know how many old monsters are still alive, of course, there may not be any of them.
