Chapter 32: Josh's Father and Three Brothers
Just when Josh was busy, very far away from Josh, located in a palace in the imperial capital, a handsome middle-aged man was enjoying afternoon tea with two young people who looked similar to Josh.
The tradition of afternoon tea has always been popular in the Augustan Empire, and it is reported that this custom actually originated from elves.
However, it seems that the aristocracy of mankind, after getting used to this way of life, has evolved it more thoroughly, and it is almost becoming a tradition.
This tradition is more popular even in the royal family, and I'm afraid that Josh will try to sit in the garden in the afternoon and enjoy a cup of afternoon tea with friends if he is not busy all day.
But at this moment, a man who looked like an official walked slowly in front of the three people, and then performed a standard aristocratic etiquette very respectfully, until the middle-aged man nodded with a headache, and he stood up straight.
"Hey, Nicholas, my friend, I've told you it's time to rest, so why do you want to come here?"
"Your Majesty, because there is a very urgent matter now, Your Excellency of the Government Council cannot deal with this matter, and everything can only be left to you."
That's right, this middle-aged man who is enjoying afternoon tea is Josh's cheap dad, that is, Blake Augustus, the ruler of this empire.
The two young men beside him are Josh's two older brothers, one is the second brother Liszt, and the third brother William, and their eldest brother Kane is now in the army.
To be honest, Blake actually didn't want his son to go to the army, but his eldest son was very yearning for that kind of military life, which made Blake a headache, this kind of headache was second only to Josh, and in the end he had no choice but to agree.
"Tell me, Nicholas, what is it that makes those guys in the Council helpless?"
"It's about the Four Princes."
"Josh?"
At this time, Blake frowned and put down the teacup in his hand at the same time, not only him, but even Josh's two brothers were very curious, and they also stopped the movements in their hands and looked at the middle-aged man named Nicholas suspiciously.
"What happened to my brother? Got in trouble? Or, he's getting in trouble again? ”
After a moment's thought, Liszt asked.
In fact, he is not the only one who thinks like this, even Blake and William think the same way, I have to say that Josh is too smart and mischievous when he was a child, you must know that he is the focus of everyone before testing his talent, even if he can't practice battle qi, but his potential in magic is not low.
However, after being discovered to be unable to absorb magical elements, he slowly lost the focus of the nobles.
Of course, this is just those nobles, in Josh's house these are actually not a big deal, and even sending Josh out is just to make Josh's future life better.
"Not really, Your Royal Highness. I don't know exactly what it is, but I need His Majesty to see this letter in person. ”
"Is that so?"
Blake frowned, he was very concerned about his children, even if Josh's cultivation talent was hindered, he didn't throw Josh as a waste in the imperial capital, but let him go out to be tempered.
At the same time, he is always looking for ways to help Josh solve this problem.
It's just that he didn't tell Josh about the latter point, and he didn't want Josh to keep holding on to some illusions and not working hard.
You must know that even in the team that followed Josh over, there are some very powerful guys, some are very capable, some are powerful backgrounds, but it seems that Josh is not clear.
"Yes, you should take a look at this letter, it was delivered by that kid from the Anderson family."
"The Anderson family? Frank? William seemed to remember something, and as he spoke, he got up to take the letter from Nicholas for Blake.
"You have a good memory, Your Highness."
Taking the letter from William, Blake opened it directly, but when he read it carefully, his eyes widened.
Soon he read it more carefully, and his expression also made Liszt and William very curious, but unfortunately they didn't dare to go over and look at it together.
For a long time, Blake read it at least three times before he put down the letter, thinking about something with a serious face, and finally asked in a deep voice: "Has anyone read this letter?" Someone from the Council? ”
"Not really, my majesty. Because Sir Anderson has an attachment that says it can only be viewed by you, and with the seal of His Royal Highness Josh, all the people in the Council dare not look at it. ”
"That's good."
Blake breathed a sigh of relief, and to be honest, he was a little surprised by the contents of the letter, and the degree of surprise he had never expected to have.
As for whether Nicholas had read the contents of the letter, Blake didn't bother to ask at all, this middle-aged man was his true friend and worthy of his trust.
"What's going on, Father?"
Liszt and William were very curious about what had happened to make their father so out of shape, and they had only seen this scene once when they were children, and they both remembered that Josh, the youngest brother, showed it when he was checking his talents.
"That's good news."
Blake muttered a few words to himself, but soon he came to his senses and threw the letter to the Liszt brothers: "Read for yourselves, and remember to burn it when you have read it." Also, Nicholas ....."
"Your Majesty, I still have some things to deal with, if there is any order, please summon me."
There was no need for Blake to say anything, and Nicholas resigned very consciously.
After all, they are old friends who have been together for hundreds of years, and he knows Blake very well, Blake is a very good person in terms of talent and strength, and this guy is more family-oriented.
Although he was very curious, he wasn't going to ask anything, and it was better not to ask about some things.
It's just that he couldn't help but criticize a few words in his heart, could it be that Josh's little troublemaker did something again? But it seems that it should be a good thing.
"This ..... Is this all true? How is this possible? ”
After Nicholas left, Liszt and William quickly huddled together and read the letter sent by Frank carefully, but after they read it, they were all looking at each other, to be precise, they were as shocked by the contents of the letter as Blake.
Because the letter says that Josh's magical talent has returned, or that he has not left at all, but he has not mastered the method.
Because Josh is a multi-element magician, as for a few Franks who didn't write it, they all subconsciously thought that it should be a three-element magician.
And the reason why Frank sent this letter was that he hoped that Blake would send a professional official over to help Josh with the test, and the letter also revealed that Josh was almost the fifth order.
You can imagine how exciting the content of this letter is.
"It does seem to be true, the date of this letter is the middle of the year (June), and now it is the Frost Moon (October) and it is approaching the Dusk Moon (November), it seems that Josh, the little one, has found a way to pass on this letter."
"So how exactly did he do it?"
"Don't you know how to watch? The letter didn't say how I knew. ”
Blake shook his head, which was something he was very puzzled about.
He didn't know exactly how Josh recovered, and even he was very curious, because he had been busy with Josh for more than ten years, and he didn't have a clue to do it himself, which made Blake a little frustrated.
So his tone wasn't very friendly, but after a moment of contemplation, he asked, "Who do you think would be more appropriate to send the inspector over?" ”
"This, it's up to you to decide."
To be honest, Liszt and Wilhelm are also more difficult in this kind of government affairs.
The main thing is that they have not been exposed to anything, and it is not that they have that opportunity if they are the emperor's sons, just think about their grandfather, and they are strong, and secular power is really not very useful.
There is a saying that all conspiracies and tricks are false under the absolute strength.
Although this sentence is not said in the Muya Continent, the truth is actually similar, as members of the royal family, they are better than other nobles, commoners, and even more so understand this truth, all of them are now focused on cultivation.
As for the officials of the Government Council, although many people are thinking about clinging to them, they have accepted it.
But in fact, with these dependent officials on their backs, their brothers are also used as jokes for comparison, I have to say that Josh was born in such an environment, otherwise a guy like him would have become a political victim a long time ago.
"Why don't I go and see? It seems that I haven't seen this guy Josh for almost a year, and this guy fought with me back then, and whether I won or lost, I suffered in the end, and I missed it very much. ”
At this time, William suddenly said that he was about the same age as Josh, his real age.
He is only one year older than Josh, as for his eldest brother Kane, he is almost twenty years older than them, and his second brother Liszt is also twelve years older than them, although there is no gap between them and the relationship is very good, but only Josh can play when he is a child.
"Forget it, it's better for me to do this kind of thing. The eldest brother is in the barracks, and I am the oldest and the oldest brother at present, and I think I should go and visit him. ”
At this time, Liszt reacted quickly, and he also spoke directly.
In fact, the main reason is that he has never been out of the imperial capital, and he plans to go out to see how his brother's territory is. Although he has a desire to play, he also cares about Josh very much, after all, making them the youngest brother.
"Alright, don't talk about it either of you."
Blake thought for a long time and finally spoke, which made the two Liszt, who wanted to continue arguing, directly quieted down, and then Blake said: "Otherwise, I'll call Kane, let's go over and have a look together." ”
"Together? Father, do you mean you're going too? William asked in surprise.
Blake touched his chin: "And, of course, Kane." Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Josh doesn't know if he wants to come back, so let's go over and see him together. I don't know if he will resent me, but his territory is not so good. ”
"I guess even if he has a grudge, he doesn't dare to say it. After all, as he said, he had already been shut up. ”
"Who knows, it's decided. Liszt, you go to your brother, and then tomorrow we will set off. ”
"I see, Father."
