Chapter 354: The Pain of Separation
In the circular castle, which is full of Western classical flavors, the atmosphere between the people is tense and depressing.
Their steps were slight, as if they were afraid of causing some excessive noise and spoiling the oppressive atmosphere on the field.
Unlike them, the Earl's Grand Duke Bernier, who was standing next to the count's throne, had a smile on his face and was whispering to his birth mother about what to eat for lunch today.
"Hmph, Bernier, I advise you to put away some of your greedy thoughts, Li Ming is also your younger brother anyway, you have my blood flowing in your body, you can't be so stingy with your brother."
Unlike the mother and son, the head of the war knight family sitting in the seat of the earl lord had a gloomy face, he tore the ruling order in his hand, and looked fiercely at the eldest son Bernil who was standing on the side.
"The land of South Black is so barren, it is not a baron at all, where I, the son of a second-class earl, should go, and Fonta City is his destination, I have already said this matter, do you want to fight against me, an earl?"
Levi Warknight looked at his wife from the First Earl family beside him, and his eldest son Berniel secretly regretted it.
In the first place, he should have followed the advice of the old butler, not to let his eldest son go too far away from him, and let him always stay by his mother's side to grow up.
So much so that now, he is so selfish, completely only caring about the interests of himself and his mother's clan, and putting his own home behind.
In particular, this assassination of himself and the son of the deceased second lady, Li Ming, gave Li Wei a strong warning in his heart, and he knew that he could no longer keep the second son by his side, otherwise the mother and son who were devoured by greed and ambition would definitely have more insidious and vicious tricks to use.
At that time, if something happens, he will regret it.
It's just that...... Levi looked at his wife and sighed in his heart.
His wife is from the Gil family, and now the patriarch of the Gil family, Gil, has broken through to the realm of true power and has become a powerful true power knight.
And such a knight is enough to obtain the title of marquis, but the promotion time of the patriarch of the Gil family is still short, and he has not had time to upgrade the title.
However, in any case, once the title of the Gil family is raised, he will inevitably have a deterrent effect on the surrounding families, and he will see the submission and obedience of the surrounding families.
Although the Gil family is not yet a marquis, they already have the status of a marquis, and in order to better promote the position of marquis, old Jill has already been eyeing the surrounding family resources.
In such a period, once any family shows dissatisfaction with the Jill family, it will inevitably be found by that old guy to find an excuse to eat the resources that should belong to other families.
However, at this time, his eldest son reached the age of adulthood, and according to the management, the identity of the heir should be confirmed at this time, so as to avoid twists and turns in the future.
As the young lady of the Jill family, even if Li Weiming knew that she was taking advantage of this special period to show her prestige and seek more resources for herself, she had to endure it.
So, although he knew these reasons, Levi still had to deal with them.
Otherwise, as a dignified earl, he will arrange for his son to do whatever he wants, and if he is unhappy, he will not give it if he doesn't give it, so why should he be so restrained.
The same is true, he knows that if he continues to let this woman go at home, sooner or later there will be more problems, he still has to endure it.
Endured until ...... When he also became a Zenith Knight!
Thinking of this, Levi's fists clenched and he looked at his eldest son tightly.
In this aristocratic world, even the servants of his family know that the second son of the family is erudite, talented, hardworking, well-behaved, elegant and calm, and is a very good noble child.
The eldest son, Bernier, is unlearned, lazy and lazy, and every day except for the little thing in the crotch of his pants is to drink and have fun with a group of fox friends and dogs, and he is not worthy of the identity of the eldest son of an earl.
If he is not his wife himself, and the biological mother of his second son Li Yang himself as his concubine has passed away, I am afraid that the identity of the heir of the family will not be his turn to be the heir in any case.
The eldest lady with the True Power Knight as a backer behind her can't move, but Levi hopes that his power can affect his eldest son......
"Husband, didn't I say that Bernier's uncle has nothing to rely on, and he is weak and wants to beg for a bite to eat in this poor troubled world, and I have promised him to let him go to Fonta City to serve as a pension."
"If you assign Li Ming's little bastard over again, won't it embarrass Uncle Bernier, and although the South Black Land is a little barren, only a difficult environment can sharpen talents."
"Li Ming is the best genius of the War Rider Family, we can't cut off his future because of doting, how can a warrior who has not experienced wind and rain become a better warrior?"
"Let Li Ming go to the land of Nanhei, but don't you understand my good intentions as a stepmother?"
Listening to Levi's words, the majesty of being a father made Bernier subconsciously a little afraid, but before he could speak, his mother Nagil, who was on his side, scrambled to speak first, and his words did not take into account Levi's prestige as a family for many years, and looked directly at him sitting on the main seat.
Levi's brow instantly tightened.
This lady of his, speaking to him, does not even use you, but uses you.
This is simply a challenge to his authority as the head of the family!
"Madam, you're right, so I plan to use the South Black Land as my personal soldier training ground, so it's not appropriate for Li Ming to go anywhere."
A strange color flashed in Li Wei's eyes, his tightly knit brows slowly stretched, and he said in a relaxed tone: "However, if Madam thinks that it is really suitable for Li Ming, let him set off with my personal army captain, I think it is also a good decision." ”
Pro-soldiers?
"No, absolutely not!"
Hearing the words of the pro-soldier, Nagil's face changed instantly, and then he noticed that his tone was too urgent, and hurriedly opened his mouth to meet Li Wei's fierce gaze and explained: "I mean, Li Ming is just a child after all. ”
"The pro-soldiers are training in the Southern Black Land, and if a child follows them, it will undoubtedly have a bad impact on them, so it may be better to let him set up a place alone to sharpen the effect."
Nagil opened her mouth with a smile, causing Levi to look at her with a smile, she stroked her hair awkwardly, her eyes rolled, and she was about to open her mouth to talk about a place, but Levi, who was sitting in front, spoke first.
"Linshan Town is good, let's go and garrison Li Ming there."
Levi's faint voice came out, and Nagil's voice was choked in an instant, thinking about it carefully, although Linshan Town was much better than the Southern Black Land, it was much worse than Levi's original choice of Fonta City.
Moreover, her goal was to swallow the rich land of Fonta City, and it was achieved.
After all, Levi was a mid-level knight and the supreme ruler of the family......
"You made a wise decision."
Nagil smiled and finally agreed to Levi's change of location.
"Father, Wise!"
Bernier couldn't help but smile on his face, Linshan Town, what kind of place is that?
Bernier's mind came to mind about a poor town where fields were scarce and the townspeople mostly made a living by growing all kinds of non-edible crops in the mountains.
Compared with the position of earl he will take over in the future, and the wealth that he will inherit in the war horse family, a small mountain town is just a drop in the bucket.
"Well, Jack, go and call Li Ming."
Li Wei looked at his eldest son indifferently, his eyes closed slightly, and turned to his butler and whispered to him.
"Yes, master!"
Jack responded respectfully, and then hurriedly turned around and went to the side hall to find the second son.

"Are you leaving here today?"
Li Ming, who had just passed the sixteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, looked at the Earl's Castle around him, and felt a little sad in his heart.
As a rosary that descended directly on the baby, although this Li Ming was Li Ming's doppelganger, and because of the active influence of his powerful power, he still gave him the name Li Ming when his parents named him.
However, since he had not absorbed any memories, he was no different from a sixteen-year-old who had grown up here normally.
The only difference is that he knows who he belongs to and what his identity is.
It's just that, although he understands this, after all, he is a place where he has lived since he was a child, and when he knows in his heart that his brother will drive him to live elsewhere in the near future, it is difficult for him not to feel a touch of sadness.
In his heart, between brothers, it should not be like this......
And when the young man felt sad, suddenly, with a huge surge of vitality into his body, and a magnificent will descended on his body, one memory after another emerged from his heart, and the young Li Ming was obviously stunned.
When he came back from his stunned state, his eyes immediately became much more lively.
"It turns out that I am who I am."
Li Ming muttered to himself, and after recovering all his memories, he walked very calmly to the main hall of the noble fortress and met his father with this body.
"Li Ming, my son, you have undergone the rite of passage, and it is time to go out to prove your ability to the world, Linshan Town is a good place to go, for my father plans to let you go there to hone yourself and grow, what do you think?"
Levi looked at his second son with a gentle face, and asked him softly as he stood down.
"Li Ming is very happy to be able to gain his father's trust, and I am willing to guard there for my father and maintain peace and stability there!"
Li Ming nodded heavily, and when he spoke, pictures about Linshan Town had already appeared in his heart.
The tea tree that contains spiritual power is a spiritual grass that has the effect of warming and nourishing the body......
In just an instant, the two undiscovered opportunities on the mountain next to Linshan Town were remembered by Li Ming, and he spoke calmly with a calm expression as if he was nothing.
"Well, you're a good boy of mine and have never let me down."
Li Wei looked at his second son with emotion, thought about it closely, and then spoke: "You can take 300 batch of armored warriors to open up the land with you, and you can also take 200 horses in the manor, 150 cattle, 300 sheep, and 2,000 chickens, ducks and geese." ”
"I will have someone bring you 100,000 catties of grain, 5,000 catties of iron, 1,500 catties of precious salt, and 3,000 catties of cooking oil and engine oil."
"Five hundred horses of cloth, one hundred and fifty craftsmen and craftsmen who care for the livestock, and a lineage of magicians to pass on to you, and when you have packed up your belongings for your departure, come to me at your father's house."
Levi looked at his second son and said something that made Nagill and Bernier's faces change before he slowly stopped and looked at Li Ming gently.
"Thank you, father, the child will go and prepare now!"
A flash of light flashed in Li Ming's eyes, and he didn't give his brother and mother and son a chance to react, and turned around and left after saluting.
It wasn't until Li Ming's figure disappeared from the hall that Berneer's mother and son changed their faces and looked at Count Levi, who was sitting on the main seat, but when they met his fierce gaze, they both pursed their lips and suppressed their words.
Nagil turned around and took his son Bernir away, who didn't say a word, but finally couldn't help it when he got to the outside of the hall.
"Right now, why didn't you stop your father just now and ask him to give him so many supplies?"
Thinking of the large pile of supplies that Levi just said, Bernier felt a little distressed, how long would these things be enough for him to play?
As for the Wizard's Legacy mentioned by Levi at the end...... He didn't have the talent of a magician, and he didn't have any interest at all.
"Son, don't be sad, compared to what you get, this little thing is nothing."
Seeing Levi's appearance, Nagil, who was a mother, hurriedly spoke to comfort her, and then a sneer flashed on her face: "With the poverty of Linshan Town, even if he gets these supplies, it will just be a mountain of empty food." ”
"And even if he really became a magician, what threat was there to a magician who could only cast basic spells?"
"It's not so easy to become a powerful magician just by relying on the little output of Linshan Town, my son, you have to remember that you have to take a long-term view next, and keep a firm eye on your father to continue to send him things and support after Li Ming took office, you must know that the assets of the current county are yours in the future, and his behavior is equivalent to spending your money in disguise............"
………………
As the second son of the earl's family, Li Ming naturally has his own family background, although not much.
An armor made of special magic steel, not only light as a swallow but also extremely protective when worn, it is the most valuable of all treasures.
An iron spear made of a special magic material and a sword of the same material, the sharpness can already be achieved to the extent of releasing the air blade with the blessing of magic, which is very useful.
Coupled with a black-scaled horse, these are Li Yang's four most important wealth.
Besides......
"Master, please don't leave the slaves here!"
