Chapter 15: Noble Bloodline
There are special historical documents in the Xiluo country, which record the noble bloodline, from the first generation to the current thirty generations, no, it should be twenty-nine generations (Cao Lianyou is the first person in the thirty generations has not yet been recorded), all of which have rules to follow and records to check.
The first generation of noble bloodline, Paul Augustus, was a genius and the first practitioner in the history of the Cilo Kingdom to be promoted to the rank of Grand Duke. He single-handedly founded the Force cultivation system of the Xiluo Kingdom, and was revered as the Martial Emperor by the Xiluo Kingdom, and he was also the founder of the Augustan family.
Emperor Sirowu had only one son, the second generation of noble bloodline, Pier Augustus. Pierre Augustus, under the guidance and training of his father Martial Emperor, and the accumulation of countless cultivation resources, but with little effect, the Force was only at the fifth level.
At that time, people thought that it was because he was lazy and tired and did not want to make progress.
Pierre Augustus had many children. If Paul is the root of the Augustan family, Pierre is the trunk of the family, one stem, one stem, ten branches, and one thousand leaves.
It is precisely because of Pierre's large number of heirs that it is ensured that today, thousands of years later, the Augustus family is still thriving.
The Augustan family, not long after the birth of the third generation, Emperor Wu passed away at the age of fifty-three.
In the third generation of the Augustan family, there were many people who were inspired by the glory of their ancestors and the mediocrity of their fathers, and they practiced diligently, and the Augustan family had a great cause, providing them with cultivation resources that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
But in the third generation, the most outstanding martial arts are still at the peak of the sixth level, and the Augustus family is also declining for various reasons.
Just when people were gradually forgetting the Augustan family, in its fourth generation, there was once again a genius - Edward Augustus.
He was promoted to duke before he was twenty years old. Everyone had no doubt that he would definitely be able to regain the glory of his ancestors and become the Grand Duke.
He lived up to expectations and was promoted to Grand Duke at the age of twenty-eight. Edward Augustus was so successful that it was under his leadership that the kingdom of Ciro was unified. For this reason, he is known as the founding father of the kingdom of Silo.
From him, the Augustan family, known as the noble bloodline of the Cilo country, has been in the upper house of the Siro country forever, and it has always been the head of the Augustan family as the speaker, which is not easy for hundreds of years.
But unexpectedly, at the age of forty-five, Edward died suddenly. He had many women in his life, but he did not even have a single heir.
In the following centuries, the descendants of the Augustan family roughly repeated the situation of "one generation of brilliant children without heirs, and several generations of mediocre children with many children".
For thousands of years, the Augustan family has had a total of nine grand dukes, each of whom is a demon who is amazing and crushes all beings.
At present, the total number of people with noble bloodlines is more than two hundred, spanning five generations, but all of them have mediocre combat power, and the highest Force level still stops at the peak of the sixth level (strange to say, the Augustus family is either an eighth-level grand duke, or the combat power definitely does not exceed the sixth-level peak, and for thousands of years, there has not been a single heir who stops at the seventh-level duke). Everyone believes that the thirtieth generation of noble bloodline has a great probability of reproducing the glory of the Augustan family.
Zhou Ziheng pondered for two seconds and said, "Do you think she is the one who can reproduce the glory of your Xiluo Wu Emperor." ”
William shook his head slightly, "Not really. The situation of 'one generation of brilliant children without heirs, and several generations of mediocre children with many children' is only a rough summary. There are many details that you may not know even if you are a native of Silo. ”
However, this information is not very secret, and it can be collected if you take the time to collect it. Therefore, I will not sell the guanzi, and tell you directly, saving you more time. ”
Zhou Ziheng said with a smile: "There is labor." ”
William said: "If you carefully study the history of the Augustan family, you will find that in addition to the first three generations of noble bloodlines, in fact, in each generation, there are many geniuses with excellent qualifications. Among them, not only those noble bloodlines that can reproduce the glory of Emperor Wu and go down in history, but also more descendants of Emperor Wu died before they were minors. ”
"Moreover, those children who died young, all awakened their abilities very early, and in terms of talent, they are no worse than those noble bloodlines that have gone down in history, and some are even stronger, but they have not been able to grow up. ”
William paused and said, "What I'm going to say, I believe you have understood." I think you must have noticed that her body is very weak, and it is not normal to be weak. Moreover, she may have awakened her abilities just now. ”
Zhou Ziheng nodded slightly. A long time ago, he invited the best doctor to give Cao Lianyou a comprehensive physical examination.
Cao Lianyou is very weak, and this weakness is innate. Over the years, if it weren't for Zhou Ziheng, who tried his best to find a natural treasure to treat her, it was unknown how long she would live.
At first, Zhou Ziheng thought that Cao Lianyou's weakness was caused by a conflict between the bloodline of the Augustus family and the bloodline of the Kahid family of the Canaan Federation, but now listening to William's words, this is not the case at all.
"We have experience in this area. William's voice was very sincere, "And we know better what she needs." It would be more advantageous for her to go back with me than to stay here. I promise to protect her at all costs. ”
Zhou Ziheng didn't think about it, shook his head and said, "I have more confidence in our medical skills." I'll find a cure for her. As for what you said, it's better to go back than stay here, and look at the people you've got in your hands, do you still think so?"
William turned his head and glanced at the silver cloak he was carrying. The silver cloak had always been strong, but at the moment his eyes were closed, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and the fear in his heart was palpable.
William was silent for a moment, "I'll give her an explanation of this matter." Next time, I hope you don't be so stubborn. ”
Zhou Ziheng's face sank like water, "I hope there will be no next time." He paused, "If it's fate, why don't you try more?"
"Any attempt has a price. We don't dare to take that risk. Which is more important to the Garden of Eden and her? What's more, she has a high chance of reaching the top of the martial arts and reproducing the glory of the Martial Emperor. I think not only you and me, but 'those people' already have the answer in their hearts. There is a proverb in your Eastern Chu country, 'Mountains and rivers meet', and I believe we will definitely see each other again. Take care. ”
William bent down to Zhou Ziheng, made a noble salute of the Xiluo Kingdom, and prepared to leave.
Zhou Ziheng suddenly said: "You forgot to leave something." ”
"Isn't it in your hands? Although this little guy is only level five at the moment, he has abundant Force power and good potential, this sword is a sixth-level superb Force weapon, and it is very light, he can use it now, and it is no problem to use it up to level seven. ”
Zhou Ziheng held his sword, "What you said is right. The sword was his deserved trophy, though. You said earlier that you would do that boy great good. If it weren't for him this time, her life would have been lost. That kid did keep his promise, so what about you? shouldn't that give him the great benefits he deserves?"
William pondered for a moment, reached into his cloak, and felt for a neatly stacked thing that shone in the sun.
"This is a lightweight armor woven from black gold and crystal spider silk, which can defend against the cutting and piercing of Force weapons below level six. ”
He paused, and then said, "On the shoulders and ribs of the armor, there are adjustment buckles, which can be adjusted in length and size. Adults can also use it. Of course, it has to be the kind of normal body. With that, he tossed his armor over.
Zhou Ziheng caught the armor. The armor is silky and soft in the middle, and you will know that it is an extraordinary product when you touch it. He looked at the armor, looked at William, and said, "This is for her, right?"
William nodded very frankly and said, "That's right. If I can take her back, it will definitely not be smooth along the way, and I will certainly consider her safety first and make sure that she is safe. This...... Hmph, cheap kid. ”
Although Zhou Ziheng couldn't see William's expression, he believed that at this moment, his face must have an expression of pain that jumped to his feet.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ziheng couldn't help laughing.
William glared at Zhou Ziheng, and suddenly said, "I'm also curious, what kind of benefits will you give him?" Don't forget, what I said at that time was that whoever wins on both sides will give him benefits." Shouldn't you give a share of this situation?"
Zhou Ziheng snorted lightly and said, "Are you still concerned about this at this time? Isn't what you have to do now is to find a way to find out as soon as possible how many secrets this guy is carrying in your hand? Since he has a sword, he naturally needs a set that is worthy of the swordsmanship of this sword. So, I'll pass on my proudest sword skills to him. ”
William was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You want to take him as an apprentice?"
"Why not?" Zhou Ziheng looked proud, "I have been promoted to the fifth level at a young age, and in time, it is not impossible for martial arts to reach the top." Wouldn't it be nice to have such a talented person teach him?"
"Hey, hey. William sneered, "Mr. Zhou is really a last resort, admire, admire." Not to mention picking up an apprentice in vain, he also made me pay for two pieces of equipment. In time, this boy will become your right-hand man and our fierce rival. I'm really lifting a rock and shooting myself in the foot today. Hmph, though, the ugly words are ahead. When you see him again in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Zhou Ziheng said: "Hehe, the apprentice's growth path is in need of a strong opponent to be his whetstone." If William is willing, Zhou can't ask for it. ”
"Hmph," William laughed colder, "then I'll wait for the apprentice." If it's tormented, don't blame me. See you soon!"
After speaking, William dodged and turned into a streamer of light. Two black cloaks also left after him.
The young man in the jacket staggered over, looked in the direction where William left, and said with a regretful expression: "This guy is still ghostly, I really want to break off with him." ”
Zhou Ziheng looked at William's figure and didn't speak, until the three of them disappeared into the distance, he shook his head, "You will definitely be able to wait until that day." It's not time yet. There is something more important at the moment. ”
The young man in the jacket nodded, and snorted at Wang Xiaotian, "Do you really plan to take him as an apprentice?"
Zhou Ziheng asked him rhetorically, "When did you get promoted to the fifth-level Force?"
"Sixteen years old. I've been an honor student in the practice department of Seremban College since high school. The young man in the jacket looked proud.
Generally speaking, if the talent exceeds that of ordinary people, but the cultivation resources are limited, and almost all rely on their own diligent cultivation, it is difficult for them to break through the sixth level in their achievements in this life, and the peak of the fifth level is the norm.
If you have outstanding talent and sufficient cultivation resources, and you are diligent enough, it is no problem to break through to level six and be promoted to the high level of the Force Master.
But further up, it is not only determined by talent, resources, and diligence, but also needs to have great luck and great opportunities to be promoted to the seventh-level Force Master and the eighth-level Force Grandmaster.
Therefore, there has always been a saying among practitioners, "Luck is also a part of strength, and people without luck will never be able to reach the top." ”
Over the past thousand years, descendants have summed up the cultivation experiences of countless predecessors, and believe that the most common (normal) path of cultivation that can be cultivated to the eighth level should be as follows: a fifth-level cultivator promoted to a fifth-level cultivator around the age of twenty, a sixth-level Force Master before the age of thirty, a seventh-level Force Master before the age of forty-five, and an eighth-level Force Master before the age of seventy.
Those who are younger than these ages and advance in advance can be called talented. Of course, there is also a lot of luck involved. In short, the earlier the age of promotion, the better the talent and the higher the future achievement, which is an iron law.
However, it is not necessary to follow the steps and step on the promotion point, and you will definitely be able to finally reach the top of the martial arts.
