The Iris family married several times and managed many connections, and in addition to war and business, communication was also an important matter for the nobility.

Just when Grandmother and Mother were about to quickly notify relatives and friends to come to the party, Aldington stopped in time: "Grandmother, mother, father, my bloodline awakening is too weak, it is better to wait for the power of thunder to gradually grow, and then announce it to the outside world, invite relatives and friends." ”

What he considered was that when his relatives and friends came, he would inevitably show off his thunderous power.

And then...... A group of people watched him stretch out an index finger and release such a small cluster of small sparks, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to see such a scene.

Parents may think that as long as there is the power of thunder, it is awakening, and it is worth celebrating, but he feels awkward.

At least wait until there are electric sparks all over your body before you can make a big splash.

Unfortunately, there is still a generation gap in ideas.

Lady Helena said directly: "What is this, the bloodline left by the ancestors of Lungatt will become stronger and stronger with cultivation. Aldington, my son, the power of thunder is like a seed germinating in you, and it will grow into a towering tree one day, despite its weakness now. ”

Old Lady Carly also said: "It is time for them to be jealous of our Iris family earlier, how many people are waiting for us to lose the glory of the bloodline nobles, but our little irises are competitive, and the Iris family can enjoy the glory of three more generations of bloodline nobles, let them be jealous." ”

When it comes to the title of Imperial Baron, the family can be said to be stable, but it is quite difficult to go further.

Therefore, the competition for glory among nobles is often more enthusiastic than meritorious service.

According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the iris family has passed the first level - physiological needs, the second level - security needs, and probably the third level - emotional and belonging needs have also been solved, and is moving towards the fourth level - the need for respect.

Most of the nobles, who are in the fourth tier, are eager to win more respect.

However, Aldington is already at the fifth level - the need for self-actualization, and he has to strive to realize the value of his coming into this world and become the goal he desires. Since this is a world with "gods", then his target is naturally the legendary demigods.

Therefore, he shook his head firmly: "The bloodline awakening is just a small post on my cultivation path, grandmother, mother, don't pay too much attention to it, just slow down." ”

At this time, Baron Aureno spoke: "Don't be arrogant or impatient, your mentality is very good, although you don't have to be so cautious, but since you brought it up, then postpone the notice." It just so happened that your great-grandfather left a note on the cultivation of the bloodline, and you should study more at home and not go to the Grey Iron Fort for the time being. ”

After a pause, he added in a tone with a slight sense of superiority: "The Rock Family is not a bloodline noble, the ancestors have never given birth to a hero like the Dragon Knight, and Viscount Dulick can't teach you how to cultivate the bloodline. ”

"But I still wish my brother would come over." Lady Helena said.

"Hectert, it's okay to invite him over for a get-together, but don't reveal the news of Aldington's awakening in the letter." Baron Aureno nodded.

Look at Old Lady Carly again.

The old lady didn't want to invite her relatives to come, after all, the title of Count of Amiens had passed to her nephew Kader, and the relationship was not so close. She just said, "Oldm and Fran please come over and let them bring that boy from Osdra here." ”

"Of course, Oldm and Fran will definitely be invited." Lady Helena said.

Hearing the name of his little cousin Ostro, Alding suddenly remembered something: "Steward Carson, you order to go down and let the manservant of the castle go to the nearby manor to pick up a few tiger crickets." I promised Osdra to give him a tiger cricket as a pet. ”

"As you wish, young master." Carson Butler had a big smile on his face, happy from the bottom of his heart.

Fighting crickets is a popular entertainment in the Danube Province, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, they all like to fight crickets when there is nothing to do.

Moreover, crickets are also one of the pillar industries of Hongye Town, and near the manor in Hongye Town, the climate, soil, and hydrology are very suitable for crickets. Several high-quality varieties of crickets can be found in the wild, such as tiger head, white jute, jute, black spot, and bamboo whisker, among which tiger head is the most well-known.

The tiger head cricket may not be the most ferocious cricket, but it is definitely the best to feed.

Many civilians would go to the wild to catch crickets in their spare time and sell them in the bazaar. Butterfly Fort itself doesn't have the spare time to catch crickets, but civilians trading crickets will naturally generate a transaction tax. August to September is the peak season for catching crickets, and the cricket transaction tax is half of the market transaction tax.

Baron Aureno frowned and said, "How old is he to learn from those Junkers who are addicted to fighting crickets?" ”

"It's just a cricket as a pet, Father." Aldington defended Osdra, and then continued, "But Osdra is eight and a half years old, and it is time to send him to the knight's family squire." ”

O'Reno said noncommittally: "I'll think about it." ”

Old Lady Carly looked at Aldington and smiled kindly: "I am very happy, Aldington, not only for you to awaken your bloodline and continue the glory of your family, but also for your love for your brother. Our Iris family, starting from your great-grandfather, is a single lineage, and it is only in your father's generation that there are two brothers, and there are fewer relatives, so we need to be united. ”

Aldington nodded, "I understand that. ”

……

After breakfast, Aldington got his great-grandfather's cultivation notes.

It was not a note written by his great-grandfather's pen, but a transcription by Baron Aurenor, to which many of the Baron's own thoughts were added.

The handwriting is neat and the content is solid.

It can be seen that the baron studied his great-grandfather's notes not in a day or two, and probably had been studying it for decades. Looking at those impeccable interpretations, Aldington could feel that the original baron must have been extremely eager to awaken the bloodline and continue the glory of the family.

However, the small probability event of bloodline awakening is not premised on human efforts.

Baron Aurenor's talent is not strong, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the pride of the sky, but he just can't awaken the bloodline, so he can only toss this note repeatedly.

Now the notes finally come in handy.

While Aldington was studying his notes, Baron Aureno poured himself a glass of wine in the castle's study, leaning heavily in his chair. I've never been more relaxed, looking out the window, and I'm reminded of Oldington's childhood.

At the age of nine, he sent Aldington away and sent to the distant Grey Iron Castle, how much anticipation and reluctance were there at that time......
