002 Sister's Marriage
Failure, shattering his illusions.
He wasn't in the mood to care about other people's test results anymore and didn't wait. It's just a person who silently lowered his head and walked lonely in the direction of the family.
"This isn't Diel, and looking at the way he looks, he must have failed the test. You see, I said, how can a person with a congenital physical disability pass the test, otherwise how can we be embarrassed by ordinary people. ”
"Yes, he's a pity, but his lovely sister is quite miserable, and the Bahrrein family is waiting to see a good show."
"Miserable? What's miserable? It was clearly an honor for the man with bad luck to be seen by the genius of the Bahrein family. ”
"Haha is right, that guy is indeed a genius, although he doesn't look very good, but he will be prosperous and rich in the future, if I were a woman, I would be willing to marry him."
“……”
Dill walked, silently listening to the comments of passers-by, he kept his head down, but his face became more and more gloomy. He clenched his fists, and the pace of his feet accelerated.
If there's one more painful thing in Diel's heart than his own failed test, it's about his sister Brooklyn's marriage.
Diel's mother died of a strange illness after giving birth to Brooklyn, so Brooklyn was snubbed by her father and other relatives in the family since she was a child, and was even called a symbol of misfortune by other people in the clan, and she had no playmates since she was a child. And Deere, as a patient with congenital heart disease, who gave up the cultivation of source power since he was a child, was also ridiculed and discriminated against.
Connected by the same fate and the same blood tie, Dill likes his own sister very much, and the brother and sister also grew up dependent on each other.
Not noticed, not taken seriously, but also bland. The younger sister could have continued to grow up without incident, but unfortunately she was taken by Leopold, a genius boy from the Bahrein family, and someone came to their house a month ago to propose marriage.
The Bahrein family and their Yuchigas clan are the two strongest families in this beast mountain town, and in order to avoid vicious competition between the two powerful families, there will often be marriages.
Leopold, a genius boy of the Bahrein family, is the same age as Dil, the source force has broken through to the second level of the warrior level, and he was admitted in advance by the Shadow Moon Demon Source Academy, one of the top ten colleges of the empire, and his future is bright.
Leopold's proposal to Brooklyn doesn't mean he really likes her. He once had a childhood sweetheart who grew up with, and then the girl was killed by a monster on an outing, and Leopold was in pain, and set his eyes on the similar-looking Brooklyn, hoping to replace Brooklyn, so he proposed this marriage.
The girl who is called a symbol of misfortune by the family can marry a genius like the Bahrein family, and of course they are quite willing to marry a genius like the Bachrein family, but Brooklyn, who is the person concerned, disagrees, she does not want to be used as a substitute for someone else, she wants to have the right to choose.
But in such an environment, no matter how much she disagreed, her protests were ineffective.
As an elder brother, Dill saw it in his eyes, and he believed that as long as he could pass the test and be admitted to the Demon Source Academy, he would be able to grasp a certain right to speak, and when the time came, he would use himself as a threat to intercede with his sister.
And his idea ended with the failure of the test.
Walking briskly into the house, a girl was lying on the cold table, her arms resting on her forehead, and she let out soft sobs.
The girl was about the same age as Dill, with clear purple eyes and long eyelashes fluttering slightly. The plain white skin is as clear as snow under the sunlight outside, and with the little pink face, it is as cute as a doll.
She was none other than Dill's own sister, Brooklyn Euchigas.
Seeing his lovely sister and thinking of what they might face in the future, Diel's heart chuckled.
"Second brother, you're back, how is the test?" Brooklyn heard the voice and ran towards Dill alive.
"I'm sorry, sister, my brother disappointed you." Dill put his arm around Brooklyn cautiously.
"Didn't a genius like my brother succeed either?" Brooklyn froze, her watery eyes blinked, and a crystal tear slid down her fair skin.
"I'm sorry." Dill shook his head bitterly, his heart was in turmoil, he didn't know how to comfort his sister, and he didn't know how to face it in the future.
Brooklyn didn't speak again, her shoulders shaking, and she kept sobbing softly. Dill didn't know how to comfort her, just hugged her tighter.
"You still can't accept Leopold?" Dill asked softly.
"I don't want to be a substitute for someone else, I don't want to be with him." Brooklyn shouted, her hoarse voice a far cry from her previous tactfulness.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Dill gently wiped the tears on his sister's cheeks with his sleeve, but his heart was already stirring up layers of agitation.
Brooklyn wasn't even twelve years old, and she'd had been wronged enough over the years, and he didn't want her to suffer any more.
"Second brother, I also want to be able to leave the family like my eldest brother and pursue what I love." Brooklyn's voice softened, and she groaned in pain.
Dill was stunned for a moment, remembering the novelty that his eldest brother brought them every time he came back from the city, and listening to his description of the big city, why didn't he want to see it with his own eyes?
"How do you want to get out of here?" Dill smiled wryly.
"I want to go to the magic test, and these days, I feel another power in my body, and that should be magic! I think I have the talent to become a demon warrior. Brooklyn said immediately.
"Demon warrior?" Dill was shocked.
Magic power, that is the energy of the cultivation of demon warriors. Demon warriors are the noble people on the continent, and they need to have a strong elemental affinity for the five elements or light and dark elements in heaven and earth, and it takes almost thousands of people to appear a demon warrior.
Not to mention their Yuchigas clan, even the entire Beast Mountain Town has not produced a single demon warrior in the past ten years. If you want to become a demon warrior, you not only rely on talent, but the later training is also quite expensive, and it takes a lot of money to awaken the magic attribute alone, which is not something that ordinary families can afford.
Of course, if you can be admitted to the top ten colleges of the empire and be able to get funding from the academy or even the state, it is another matter.
"Second brother, look!" Brooklyn said, her slender hand stretched out, and a small, pale blue ball the size of a fingernail formed out of thin air, and in the ball was a shimmering ball of water, growing larger and larger, eventually condensing to about the size of a palm.
"It's really magic, the water elemental! How did you do that? Dill exclaimed.
You know, it is difficult for a demon warrior to cast magic without the awakening of magic power, and his sister actually did it.
Although he had never seen what a real demon warrior was like, and what an excellent demon warrior who was admitted to the top ten academies was like, but if he could do so, he believed that Brooklyn's magical talent would definitely not be bad.
"No one taught me, I figured it out on my own."
"You must be a demon warrior genius, Leopold is not worthy of you at all! Did you tell your father about it? Dill said immediately.
"Yes, but it's useless. Grandpa has already decided that for the sake of the relationship between the two families, this marriage will not change. Brooklyn shook her head bitterly.
"That brother is in charge of you, and no matter what, I will do my best to prevent this marriage. If not, my brother will take you out secretly! ”
