Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Past

"Do you know my family?" Benjamin was surprised when he heard the old man's words, how could he know such a powerful person in the context of his own family's downfall?

"Yes, little one. The old man smiled and nodded, looking at Benjamin who didn't speak for a long time, Benjamin felt the change in the old man's mood, but he didn't speak, just waited quietly for the old man, and the old man seemed to fall into deep memories...... I don't know how long it took, the old man's mouth finally moved, and after a long sigh, the old man waved his hand, and a high-backed chair appeared in front of Benjamin, and at the same time, a set of tea sets appeared on the table,

"Sit down," the old man pointed to the chair to Benjamin, and then released a fireball technique at the tea set and began to make tea, and after a while, the fresh fragrance of tea slowly overflowed, and after the old man poured two cups of tea, he picked up a cup and took a sip lightly, and then said:

"How long ago was that, two or three hundred years, I've almost forgotten it for a long time......," the old man paused again, and seemed to feel a little excited, so he took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and then began to speak:

"At that time, I was as old as you, the teacher asked me to go out and practice, because at that time I was already a sixth-level magician, if I stayed in the academy any longer, it would be very difficult to become a magician, and it would be difficult to find my future path in this kind of regular study, so the teacher asked me to go out to practice, and I was extremely excited when I knew it, so I left the teacher with confidence, thinking that I could cope with various situations with my own ability. But not long after I went out, I almost died in a mission, when I met a small group of people from the Holy See, about a dozen people, at that time the people of the Holy See were not allowed to appear in the Empire, and this team was to come to the Empire to spy on intelligence, the level was very low, the highest one was only a fifth-level priest, and the rest were basically third- and fourth-level priests and knights, so I didn't pay attention to these people at all, but after the fight, I found that it was completely different from the usual school practice, and I realized that I didn't have any actual combat experience at all, on the contrary, the cooperation between those priests and knights was very skillfulI had no choice but to run away, but I was almost killed by them, and I met a man who I remembered when he had fled ten of the other side with his bow and arrow, and his bow and arrow skills I have never seen anyone use them until now. His name was Giroud DiReano. ”

"What?" cried Benjamin when he heard the name.

"Hehe, yes, he should be the founder of your family. The old man seemed to guess Benjamin's shock, and said directly: " This is how I met Giroud, and then I also learned that Giroud was not only an archer, but also a powerful assassin, so powerful that I had never seen any assassin compare with him, so we started to take bounty missions together, and completed the tasks together, until the war between the Empire and the Holy See broke out, because I was a student of the Imperial Royal Academy, and I was called back at the beginning of the war, and Giroud also joined the army with me after hearing about it, and at first our army has always taken the initiative, defeating the Holy See's army one after another, until one day the Holy See does not know where a powerful reinforcement came, they are called the Divine Messenger CorpsAt this time, Giroud suddenly came to me one night and told me a big secret, and there was no news again, three days later, it came to the Pope of the Holy See who was seriously injured by the assassins, and the Holy See army had to retreat, but the empire was also seriously injured, so an agreement was reached with the Holy See to allow the Holy See to spread doctrine in the Empire, and the Holy See returned all the land that had fallen to the Empire, and the war ended like this, no one knew who the assassin was, but I knew that the assassin was Giroud, so I told my teacherEven the secret was told to my teacher, but my teacher didn't say anything, just told me not to talk about it anymore, and it wasn't long before your family was given the hereditary title of marquis, but your family couldn't find anyone at that time, and the matter was put down. But I will never forget what Giroud told me when he left, so when I can sense your family blood again, I will start calling you to come and lead you on the journey of fate. ”

"......" Benjamin didn't know what he should say at the moment, except that he was surprised......

"But now that I have found out that you have actually received the inheritance of the astrologer, maybe your destiny will also change for it. ”

"So what should I do?" said Benjamin, who had finally recovered from the shock and was able to think about something.

"When you set foot on the beginning of your fate, you will naturally know, now I will arrange for you and your friends to study at the Imperial Royal Academy, and you can come here at any time if you have any questions, my name is Luke. ”

"But why should I go to the academy?" Benjamin was a little puzzled, why did he want to let himself go to that imperial royal academy, the old man he met at the Grand Duke of the Purple Moon before also said to let him go to this academy, and now it is like this.

"Wouldn't it be nice if you at least stopped worrying about your own livelihood as you used to, and besides, if you were strong enough, you wouldn't have to be afraid of the Holy See, wouldn't you?" said Luke, who couldn't refuse.

"......" Benjamin couldn't deny it, but he felt a little unwilling in his heart, and he couldn't tell what he was unwilling to do.

"Go find them, and I'll have someone arrange to take you to the academy when I get back." ”

"Alright, Master Luke. Benjamin didn't say anything more, and he would discuss it with Ruoqing and the others later.

Luke watched Benjamin leave, and said to himself:

"Giroud, he has finally appeared, I hope his awakening will not bring destruction to the continent, I will do what you say......"

......

"Teacher. Princess Sophia came to a nondescript room in the middle of the business district.

"Well," an old voice sounded, but it was extremely excited, "I saw what you sent, it was the master's breath, I can't be mistaken." ”

"Is it really him coming back?" Princess Sophia was also very excited when she heard the news confirmed by the teacher, and even her voice became trembling.

"Yes, it's finally there. ”

......

When Ruoqing and the others came out of the library, they immediately saw Benjamin who was frowning and in a daze, Christine looked very happy, and walked up to pat Benjamin:

"Hey, we're here, let's go. ”

"Oh. Benjamin saw the three of them come out, especially Ruoqing didn't seem to have anything to do, so he didn't think much about it, so he nodded and walked towards the business district with a sad face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?

"It's nothing, the master named Luke said let's all go to the Imperial Royal Academy. ”

"What?" Christine screamed, startling everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Christine also knew that she was out of shape, and hurriedly apologized, "Is what you said true?

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

Not to mention Benjamin, the other two people also looked at Christine with a look of incomprehension.

"Hey, are you from the Empire, even Master Luke doesn't know?" Christine looked at the three of them with an incredulous expression, "Master Luke is the strongest magician in the entire empire, no one knows how many levels it is, that is, the great elder of the Wizards Guild, in front of Master Luke, is just an apprentice-like existence, Master Luke can be said to be the pillar of the entire empire, don't you really know?"

Benjamin and the others shook their heads neatly and looked at Christine expressionlessly.

"Well, you guys are just ......" Christine glared at everyone fiercely before continuing, "Anyway, Master Luke is even more important to the Empire than His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Ah!" Benjamin and the others looked surprised at this moment, more important than His Majesty the Emperor, what kind of existence was that.

"Then what are you hesitating about?" Christine looked at Benjamin as if she was an idiot, "How can you miss such a great opportunity?"

"I ......" Benjamin also felt as if it was really pie in the sky, but he was still stupidly hesitating whether to take it or flash, "I was going to discuss it with you." ”

"Is this still negotiable?" Christine's expression at the moment was obviously a feeling of wanting to tear and bite Benjamin, which made Benjamin shudder involuntarily.

"Uh, let's go," Benjamin didn't dare to hesitate any longer, if he hesitated any longer, he didn't know what would happen to Christine.

When everyone returned to the professional home, a magician came up and said:

"Several, the teacher asked me to tell you that I will take the entrance test of the academy in three days, and I will come to pick you up at that time. After saying that, he smiled and left.
