Chapter 40: The Puppet and the Sword Chapter He laughs You want to laugh along
Puppet Sword Chapter 7
The family system is huge, and in the narrow blood relationship, in the uneven laws of nature, the comparison of advantages and disadvantages, in addition to the gap in real ability, also adds the uncertain factor of feelings, and the competition is more cruel than imagined. Strangers may just want to defeat their opponents, but the innate affection of blood ties makes him want to destroy even more.
The Sulange family is such a large family. Sulange has always been unscrupulous, causing some women to self-righteous to give birth to children in order to win more chips, resulting in many half-children. Except for the twins, there were no siblings of the same mother. But those women were just passers-by in his life.
Fortunately, there is still a trace of humanity in Sulange's treatment of his children, and his food and clothing education is quite comprehensive, but if he wants more attention and resources, in addition to his appearance advantages, he needs to rely on his own skills. And Su Lange's children are basically handsome under their mother's excellent genes, and the gap between brothers is not too obvious, and the competition becomes extremely cruel. In the case of the same ability, it all depends on the means, and the level of the means determines the level of status. Percy is one of the lucky ones, and his biggest advantage, in addition to being naturally intelligent, is that he is the eldest son. The age gap can still have a clear advantage in some things.
But these are also advantages after the birth of Thor, who ranked fourth, is a little uncontrollable. It's not because Thor is smarter and prettier than him, but because Thor is the only one of his many brothers who shows his talent for casting.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and sons born to rats make holes. Sulange's heirs, some inherit his debauchery, some inherit his paranoia, some inherit his ruthlessness, and some inherit the only ability in his life that can be proud of the world and stand in the forest of the strong, that is casting. There is no greater reason for Sulange to treat his children well than this.
Almost every child of the Sulange family has tried to learn to cast, but Thor's casting talent is almost innate. It has an innate advantage in the sensitivity of materials, the grasp of heat, and the new attempts and forging of various sword blades.
His birth was a prospect for Sulange, but a disaster for the other offspring. The incomparable ability, the unsurpassable status, extends not to surrender, but to conspiracy and framing.
For Sulange, no matter what Thor did, even if it was the woman who killed him, it didn't matter if he killed the other siblings. He can give Thor all the rights, all the resources. As long as he wants.
It's easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against dark arrows, and for Thor, his father's father's love that he doesn't really love is not so good. He needs to dodge various injuries from his siblings of varying severity. Don't dare to hurt his life, he has to put some laxatives in his food, he doesn't dare to bully him in person, he has to use all kinds of indiscriminate items to destroy him, he doesn't dare to insult him in person, he has to gossip behind his back. He didn't really care about any of that. But he cared a lot about his mother. His mother was only one of his father's many women, but she was his only mother, and he was more fortunate than the others in that his mother gave him a motherly childhood. Thor had thought that with his father's approval, he and his mother would get more, and his mother would be better.
But he didn't know that jealousy drives people crazy. When he first showed his talents, his mother did receive better attention and resources. Even Sulange rarely showed affection and respect for him. But this kind of day did not last long in the flames of jealousy, and in the framing again and again, his mother finally did not escape and died.
Sulange was not moved by her mother's death, and did not even feel that it was worth caring. At that time, Thor finally saw clearly that the source of these frivolous jealousies, these hatreds, came from his unscrupulous father.
He did not choose revenge at that time, but chose to leave.
Sulange was angry at Thor's departure, it really didn't matter to him that it was a woman who died, but it was impossible to lose an heir he fancied. But he couldn't leave the spring town, he also sent people to look for it, but he was afraid that it would be too public, but it would make people focus on Thor's talent, and he also thought that it was feasible for Thor to experience it, so he only sent a few people to secretly explore, and there has been no news.
But now, Thor himself is coming back?
Compared with Sulange's simple joy, the other people who heard the news had mixed feelings in their hearts. Especially Percy, who is already the head of Spring Town. His rights themselves were based on the absence of Thor, who was one of the culprits of the year. When a person has nothing, of course, there is no fear, but once he has it, he has tasted the beauty of power, and at this time, he can no longer lose it. Percy's anger and fear can be imagined. So much so that he would say it out loud in surprise during the feast.
When Sunshadow and Peng Xiu watched Surane quickly run towards the subordinate and question happily, they could know that Thor's special position in this family could make Sulange so excited, and even leave them and the bishop behind, which showed the weight in his heart.
But the crowd, including them, barely showed any reaction to knowing this person, and all stared curiously at Surango and Percy.
"Yes, master. Master Thor summoned a summons to return, saying that he would be back in the town of Spring in the near future. The servant replied respectfully.
"What about the messengers, do you have a token letter?" asked Sulange. The people he sent have been without news, and when there is news suddenly, he has some doubts in his heart, in addition to joy, he wants to confirm the authenticity.
"The messenger...... Didn't keep it. The servant obviously knew the mistake of the matter, and wanted to tell Percy that he had been given a lesser culpability, but he did not expect that Percy would be so excited about it.
"What!" said Sulange, furious.
The servant immediately knelt down and took out a delicate palm-sized golden sword with red tassels from his bosom, which seemed to be more like a toy, but the degree of delicacy and sharp luster made people shine. He held it up respectfully. "But he left this. ”
Sulange picked it up and identified it in his hand, the craftsmanship was indeed like Thor's workmanship, and more importantly, there was a small, imperceptible mark engraved on the top of the hilt. Others might not see it, but Sulanger was a master forger and could see the details of the sword, and he recognized it at a glance as Thor's personal seal. It was the imprint he had drawn on him with his own hands. Each caster will have a special mark belonging to his own person, which will be explicitly or invisibly engraved on his work, representing the caster himself. Such marks are generally extremely difficult to imitate, and Thor's mark is even less well known to the general public. The doubts in Sulange's heart dissipated, and he was more happy that the expectation was true.
He didn't get angry anymore, and it was rare that he didn't directly kill the servant in front of him who made him unhappy for a while, but waved his hand to make him retreat. The servant kowtowed again and again, and hurriedly withdrew. Percy saw Surange's face, and the unhappiness in her heart was even more difficult to suppress. He and all his current siblings are probably less important than Thor's toes in his father's toes.
"Your Highness and Your Excellency the Bishop are truly my blessings. I was so happy to know that my unfilial son was going home, and I was so happy today. Surango took the token and walked back to Peng Xiu and Sunshadow, and said to them.
"It seems that this Thor is quite loved by the master, and when he returns, the master will still recommend him to see what kind of excellent disciple he is, which makes the master so excited. Frey was very modest, and said that by introducing Thor, Surane's jealousy of his performance just now disappeared a lot.
Sulange nodded happily. "It must be, thank you for your love. ”
"That Sulange was really lucky today. With the appreciation of the bishop, it must be a step forward. Peng Xiu raised his glass to Sulange, but his eyes were on Frey, unhappily echoing their conversation.
When Sulange and Frey heard this, they laughed a little embarrassed. This is clearly not a true word of congratulations.
Peng Xiu was not interested in the Sulange family, let alone understood, and his awareness of the sudden news was on the same level as the bishop, which made Peng Xiu, one of the masters of the empire, a little unhappy. He decided to summon his secretarial leader to dig into the bottom of the group of people in front of him.
He was thinking like this, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the sun shadow behind him was standing beside the twin beauties and mourning nights, and he didn't know what he was saying. Although Hikage didn't have much expression anymore, it was clear that he wasn't in a bad mood, and the other three beauties were all smiling happily. The others who provoked looked sideways.
Peng Xiu immediately wanted to go. While his sun shadow is chatting with beautiful women, and he doesn't know who is flirting with whom, he is here to talk to an ugly fat man and a disgusting middle-aged man. Peng Xiu was still kind on the surface at this time, but in his heart, he had already cut the two people in front of him with a thousand knives. He wanted to raise his head and howl!
The smile of the night over there was infecting the mood of the sunset.
There is another kind of person in the world, he laughs, you want to laugh along, he cries, and your heart can be pulled up by pain. His smile and brow have a magical power that fascinates and drives people crazy. He is the night of mourning.
Even a self-confessed aloof like the Hinatal found it hard to resist, and this man's smile had an effect on him as if a light could shine into all the dark corners.
Twins Molly and Wai Mi Ye are by his side, wanting him to say something, and even the non-verbal Hinatal finds it difficult to refuse their request, especially the smile that seems to be impossible to refuse. You can only bite the bullet and say things that don't matter. But fortunately, the three of them are extremely knowledgeable people, and they are just looking for some topics. And Mourning Night also frequently picked up the conversation for Sun Ying and said some interesting things, which made the four of them communicate quite harmoniously.
Sun Ying couldn't help but add a little more affection to this wheelchair boy in his heart.
At this time, the banquet continued in a peaceful atmosphere, and everyone did not know that the spring town with a bloody mouth was coming, and the fate of the few people present in the next few days was changing dramatically.
"Ahh......h
The light in Peng Xiu's study has not been too bright these days, but the small study on one side of his study has never been extinguished a few days ago. At this moment, there was a sound of sneezing.
"Could it be that the Boss summoned me again?" thought Robert, as if telepathically.
But at this time, shouldn't the boss and Xiaoying be happy in the spring town? Although the boss looked at Xiaoying's eyes, cough cough...... He doesn't know, he doesn't know anything! Strong doesn't know anything.
But according to the personalities of those two people, they should both hate that kind of inhumane place, and Miga can't think about it. I hope they will keep a low profile for the sake of the silver sword, and don't tear down the spring town.
Why don't he tell Miga to take a look tomorrow?
