Chapter 5

The successive blows made Count Raymond very disappointed in his son. And after the disappointment, he tried harder.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't have the heart to bother with such a giftless idiot son anymore. The Earl put the direction of "effort" on his beautiful Countess.

Since this son is already a waste, he is destined to have no ability to inherit his family and cannot carry it forward. So...... I have to work hard to have another son!

The Count's month-long sowing and cultivation of the Lady finally paid off. Soon, the Countess became pregnant again, and in the winter of the following year, Count Raymond got his second son.

While the whole Earl's Court was celebrating this happy event, Du Wei still stayed in his room and read the "Potions" books that he had collected with great difficulty.

Thankfully, the last sentence of the Clark mage as he left had an effect. The Earl, with the thought of "what could be worse?", simply let his idiot son study Potions.

For almost a whole month, the Count did not have the heart to look at his son again, who had utterly disappointed him. Even the Countess, who was originally kind to Du Wei, had to reduce the number of visits to her son because she was pregnant and in labor.

The day after his mother gave birth to a younger brother, Du Wei was led by servants to the earl's chamber to visit his mother, who was weak after childbirth, and his brother.

It could be seen that the Earl was satisfied. For the newborn son, as is customary in the Rollin family, cries loudly and powerfully, and although it is a newborn baby, it is clear that he will be strong in the future.

Count Raymond didn't even have the interest to look at this waste son more, and after greeting him politely, he waved him down. Although the countess lying on the bed felt a little unbearable, it happened that the crying of the newborn baby attracted her attention.

Du Wei quietly withdrew, and behind him was the satisfied laughter of the Earl, and the cry of a baby. Even though his heart was already blank, Du Wei couldn't help but feel a little lost.

He reminded himself inwardly: stop thinking nonsense. You are not from this world, he is not your father...... And she...... Neither is she......

Thinking of that rainy night, this beautiful woman once knelt in front of the goddess statue for herself, Du Wei felt a trace of sourness in his heart, and shook his head.

Trying to get rid of the distractions in his heart, Du Wei could only shift all his attention to studying.

It is undeniable that Du Wei still has a great interest in the magic of this world. Although the Clark mage decided that he had no talent, Du Wei, who was unwilling in his heart, still had a fluke mentality. Naturally, there is a considerable collection of books in the dignified Earl's Court, many of which are about magic.

After reading many books, Du Wei had to admit that the mage Clark was right, he really didn't have the talent to become a magician. Because even if he sat for a day and a night, he couldn't feel any fluctuations in the magic element. Another time, he even fell asleep unconsciously.

Subsequently, Du Wei, who was not immortal in the heart of the Yellow River, transferred his jīng power to what Master Clark called "magic pharmacy".

Because, it seems, magic pharmacy, is also a kind of magic. Moreover, the potion master is barely a kind of magician. Although, Du Wei asked the servants in the mansion to know what status this so-called "kind of magician" has in the hearts of people in this world!

In this world, although people say that potions masters are also a type of magicians, even the magic society has publicly confirmed this in black and white. But in reality, what people really think is, "Is this a magician??"

Potions, as the name suggests, is the study of the configuration of various magical potions.

And after listening to it a lot, Du Wei also made a very appropriate analogy in his heart: if you compare the medical industry in the world in your previous life. A true magician, then, is the equivalent of a doctor in a hospital for all subjects......! At most, she is a little nurse who helps the doctor. Although they all work in hospitals, the status and income of nurses are far inferior to those of real doctors.

But after careful study, Du Wei became very interested in this kind of potions!

In his opinion, this is a very new field.

Like what...... How to use the eyes of the Dorog jumping frog and the bitter wormwood of the purple sè to make a person become mute who can lose the ability to speak for a short time. For example, how to use the saliva of the Stafen Sword, clover and the liver of a Keke triangular scale fish to grind a medicinal powder that can make people petrified!

For example, the powder that is broken after drying a substance extracted from firescale grass can cause instant combustion when sprinkled anywhere!

It's just that the names of animals and plants mentioned above, especially things like "jumping frog", "sword ruler dragon", "Keke triangular scale fish", "fire scale grass" and the like, there are nine out of ten things, which Du Wei has never heard of.

Like what?

It's like a chemistry system from another world!

Du Wei never thought that the so-called magic could be explained like this!

Drugs that can turn dumb, drugs that can make people petrified, drugs that can cause burning...... Interesting, isn't it?

The profession of potions master, in Du Wei's heart, is actually more like a doctor. It's just that doctors are good at saving people, while potions masters are better at creating poisons that harm people.

What Du Wei didn't know was that his idea also happened to be in line with the evaluation of magic pharmacists in this world: poison apothecary.

rìzi in the passing of the day. Dewey was still obsessed with this magical apothecary. However, his knowledge can only stay on paper and be read theoretically. After all, many of the strange raw materials mentioned in magic pharmacy are not available in the Count's Mansion of the Rollin family, which can be called an aristocratic family.

Only the laboratories of true magicians are stocked with these materials. In the field of magic, pharmacists are usually assistants and assistants to real magicians.

Moreover, for such a young child, even if he was the son of the earl, no one would dare to provide him with those dangerous magical herbs!

Before I knew it, six years had passed. In the past six years, Du Wei's younger brother has grown up strongly, and this child named "Gabry" is more like a typical descendant of the Rollin family than an idiot Du Wei.

This Du Wei's younger brother has been healthy and active since he was a child. At the age of six, he had already begun training as an Alpha Swordsman, the head of the guard. It is said that the chief of the guard had a good opinion of the second son of the earl. Almost everyone in the palace regarded him as the hope for the future of the Rollin family! And the Earl had apparently poured all his care into his second son, and he had even decided to wait another two years, when Gabry was eight years old, he could officially teach him the Rollin family's family martial arts martial arts!

The affection of the servants, the praise of the chief of the guard, the blame of his father, and even the invited initiation teacher thought that the second son of the earl was very talented. I even heard that for the sake of the future of the family, Lord Earl had decided to marry a certain family in Dìdū and set a prominent family affair for his six-year-old son!

Beyond this, Du Wei, the eldest son of the family, was forgotten in the corner.

The Count rarely saw his eldest son even for a month. The only one was the Countess, who often came to see her son in private, and even occasionally at night, the Countess would come to Du Wei's room barefoot in pajamas, hold her poor child, sing lullaby, and lullaby to lull him to sleep.

It is only at these times that Du Wei's heart will soften. Sometimes, he had to pretend to be asleep to escape the moments that made him feel the urge to cry, and often, the tears and sighs of the countess accompanied him to sleep.

Finally, when Du Wei was thirteen years old and his younger brother Gabriel was seven years old, the news came. It was also the final decision made by Lord Earl!

From next year, he began to teach Gabby martial arts himself, teaching him the family heirloom of the Rollin family. At the same time, Count Raymond also made a marriage agreement with the Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire, and the two political allies relied on this marriage to further cooperate, and Gabry's future wife will be the granddaughter of the current Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Empire (now nine years old)!

Actually, there is also news that this family affair was decided a long time ago! It was decided even before Gabri was born! It's just that it was Du Wei who was originally decided to marry the daughter of the Chancellor of the Exchequer! It's just that now Du Wei is already considered an idiot with no future, so the marriage partner who is responsible for the two alliances has become his younger brother, the genius, Gabri!

As for Du Wei......

On a dark and windy night, he left dìdū in a horse-drawn carriage. The destination of his trip was the territory of the Rollin family in the province of Kot in the southern part of the empire! It was announced to the public that "Young Master Du Wei, who is already thirteen years old and is about to become an adult, will go to the family territory to take care of the family property."

In fact, Du Wei understands very well: he has been assigned.

Keeping an eye on the family business? That's just a joke. Everyone knows that the family's important business is in the political center of the empire, and that the inheritance of the family domain is ...... The farmlands, the farmers, the taxes, all it takes is a few stewards!

In fact, the exact news that Dewey had received was that he would probably leave the Earl's Court and live in his family's ancestral house in some country in the southern province of Kot! and...... Without the Earl's call, he wouldn't want to go back to dìdū in his life!

Everyone understands that the title of "heir to the Rollin family" has been transferred from Du Wei's head to his seven-year-old genius brother.
