Chapter 111: You're Like a Novel Protagonist
"Yo, which brother is this?"
Just when Gao Yuan was lost his soul, a tall man in front of the door took the initiative to come forward to greet him, and then looked at the level display on Gao Yuan's head with some surprise.
Level 17 ...... In today's family gatherings, it is not very surprising, and even belongs to the middle and lower classes. But on the other hand, although this young man looks like an adult gentleman, he is actually childish, and he has obviously not been practicing in the Blur Domain for a long time, and he is an out-and-out newcomer.
A newcomer at level 17, this is unusual, obviously a certain genius disciple of the family.
But...... I've never heard of such a brilliant genius in my family.
The man who greeted the guest was a little uncertain, and suddenly a girl's exclamation came from behind him: "Gao Yuan, is it Gao Yuan?"
The next moment, I saw a woman in a white dress, and she ran over with a look of surprise: "It's really lofty! It's been a long time, you've changed so much! And, my God, you're level 17?! Shouldn't you start practicing the Demon Dao this year? Could it be ahead of schedule?"
Gao Yuan only regained a little sense of consciousness at this time, and the smile on his face that was obviously a long-rehearsed one: "Sister Rong, long time no see, you ...... It's prettier again. ”
"Hahahaha. Gao Rong was overjoyed, and patted Gao Yuan's shoulder, "It's still the same clumsy tongue, and everyone praises it so much!"
After speaking, Gao Rong looked at Bai Xiao with strong curiosity, first glanced at the number above his head, and then looked at Bai Xiao's face, a little unsure how to greet this...... Extraordinarily eccentric-looking guests.
It just so happened that a little sister behind her also ran over curiously, first glanced at Gao Yuan, and said in surprise: "He is Gao Yuan, isn't he......?"
Then he looked at Bai Xiao again, even more surprised, and blurted out: "Are you Gao Yuan's father?"
"Poof!"
Gao Yuan squirted out on the spot - fortunately it was not sprayed on Gao Rong - and then corrected with a white face: "This is my classmate Bai Xiao!"
"Huh?" the girl later was quite incredible, "How many years have you been repeating a grade, and you're still a classmate at level 28?"
Gao Yuan almost wanted to cry without tears, and glanced at Bai Xiao, his eyes full of apologies.
I'm sorry, I didn't expect the family to be stupid......
Bai Xiao didn't care.
His temperament is indeed completely different from that of ordinary newcomers.
In his team, the ranks of Zuo Qingsui and Yuan Ye are also shocking by the standards of newcomers, making people can't believe that they are newcomers, but as long as you take a closer look, it is easy to find their newcomer nature.
The Demon Daoist who has just entered the Blur Domain will be very jerky in terms of manipulating the magic sense, for example, because of the different perspectives - from the first person to the bird's-eye view, many people's reactions and actions will be very different from reality, as if they are a puppet man who has been manipulated by the unfamiliar, and his hands and feet are stiff.
However, Bai Xiao quickly adapted to the rules here almost as soon as he entered the Misty Domain, in the dark forest, he could hunt level 33 monsters at level 1, and the most important point was that he could use level 1 magic sense to the extreme.
This mature temperament really makes it difficult to treat him as a newcomer, and even many old demon Taoists who have lived in the Blur Domain for many years may not have Bai Xiao's free-flowing temperament.
So it's common to be misunderstood.
At this time, in the hall of the restaurant, there was a young man with high spirits, who heard the conversation in front of the building, walked out after a call sign, and first greeted Gao Rong and said, "The banquet is about to start, don't be late for the host and guest." ”
Gao Rong covered her mouth lightly: "Ah, I almost forgot." ”
Turning her head, the woman smiled apologetically at Gao Yuan and Bai Xiao, and pulled her little sister: "I'm sorry, let's go first." ”
Then, the young man looked at Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, I heard that you left your hometown and went to Hongshan Academy?" Hmph, the quick skills over there are really good, even your ...... People, there can be level 17. Okay, work hard, don't lose the face of our border county people over there. ”
Gao Yuan didn't have a good face at all for this person, his eyebrows were gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Gao Heng, I don't need you to worry about my affairs." ”
"I don't need to bother? It's really light to say, if I were born in a marginal branch like you, I can indeed bother with nothing and live carefree, but it's a pity that I want to inherit the family business, and I can't help but bother with the things up and down the family. ”
After speaking, Gao Heng didn't look at Gao Yuan, but only nodded to Bai Xiao: "Welcome to the Gao family's family banquet, please enjoy the beautiful night." ”
Then he turned and left.
Bai Xiao didn't say a word from beginning to end, just looked at the 33 above the young man's head, and was slightly distracted.
After a while, Gao Yuan said, "That's Gao Heng, the young master of the Gao family......"
"That's amazing. ”
Gao Yuan's voice was a little depressed: "Of course it's amazing, after all, it's the young master of the family, and the target is the eldest young man of the Lu family, at least a genius like Yuanye." He studied in the Brilliant Valley, the best magic academy in the border county, and this year should be the fourth year, and he is already the undoubted chief...... At the age of 19, there is a level 33, even in the Red Mountain Academy, it is considered very good. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, sweeping away his personable temperament.
Bai Xiao looked at it and was curious: "19 years old and 33 levels is very good, but what level was he when he was 16 years old?"
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Uh, I remember that the end of his first year of study was level 18......"
"So the actual progress is not as good as yours. ”
"This, on the side of the county, doesn't pay much attention to the level number, but more importantly, the actual combat ability......"
Bai Xiao was even more strange: "When he was level 17, he could beat you now?"
Gao Yuan was also stunned when he heard this: "This ......"
Thinking of his frenzied hunting in the dark forest for a month, Gao Yuan suddenly realized...... If you take the general rookie standard as an example, he has already exceeded the specifications.
This level 17, but he followed the best hunters in the world, hunted countless demonic beasts in exchange! Even if he was just a fighter, but what he was exposed to was a white Xiao-style hunting method, whether it was his vision or actual combat reaction, compared with those who relied half on actual combat and half on magic weapons, he was obviously superior!
It's just that under Bai Xiao's ten thousand lights, these achievements are obscured.
Gao Yuan seriously recalled Gao Heng's Blur Domain War Records that he had seen three years ago, and said, "It seems that it shouldn't be able to beat me." ”
Bai Xiao said: "So I wondered just now, why is this kind of person a young master, and you with better talent are obviously just a marginal figure in the family?"
"......," Gao Yuan was silent for a long time, "it's the first time someone has asked me such a question. ”
But then, Gao Yuan sighed, patted Bai Xiao's back, and gestured to the advanced banquet hall while explaining.
"I haven't told you much about my family situation before...... In fact, although I am a child of the Gao family, it is indeed only an insignificant marginal branch, my father worked hard all his life, relying on a bit of coincidence, to get a little real power, among the family council. is mainly responsible for the logistics of the family, and that Gao Laozhuang is barely counted within his jurisdiction. But there are a total of 23 seats in the family council, and my father can only be ranked at 23, which is really marginal. ”
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, and said: "Then the border county, whether it is the news is closed, or whether it is a conservative atmosphere, in short, I don't pay so much attention to the affairs of the hinterland of the empire such as Red Mountain City and White Night City, and I don't look down on it very much. I left my hometown to come to Hongshan City, but in fact, in the eyes of many people in my family, I was a deserted escape. The people of the border counties generally feel that a good man should prove himself in the Glory Valley and turn to the Red Mountain Demon Dao for help, which is undoubtedly an evil way. And...... If I can be like Bai Xiao and fight all the invincible opponents of the tribe before going down the mountain, then I can be confident wherever I go, but the actual situation is not. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan was silent for a long time, until he walked into the banquet hall side by side with Bai Xiao, bathed in the brilliant lights, and then spoke with difficulty.
"I was humiliated and ran away. ”
Bai Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Was it dogged by Gao Heng's men?
Gao Yuan's sad expression was replaced by shock in an instant.
"How do you know?!"
Bai Xiao said: "This is what is written in novels in the south. ”
