Moraine Family Castle
Wharton was so angry that he lost his mind and wanted to attack Link desperately.
Link was also a little surprised. In his memory, he always knew that Wharton was arrogant and domineering. He used to dominate the castle since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he could not tolerate half of his dissatisfaction. This is no longer arrogance. This is madness!
He felt that he had to teach this guy a lesson instead of his father, lest he go out and suffer a lot in the future.
It is true that Wharton is a level 4 fighter, but he is not wearing a weapon or armor. Link has many ways to kill him in one blow, glass beads, whistle, and pyro-blast are all available.
But of course he couldn't do that. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to use the enhanced version of the Fire Hand he had just learned, the Vulcan Hand. This magic can completely crush this cheap big brother in terms of strength, and it won't hurt him.
But just when Link was about to do this, a figure suddenly rushed out of the slanting stab. This person also burned with the light of fighting spirit. The color was exactly the same as Wharton's, and it was even stronger.
Instead of rushing towards Link, he rushed towards Wharton.
Wharton didn't expect that, he was taken aback, and then he was knocked back by the figure, backed up five or six steps in a row, and finally was pushed against the wall by the figure, unable to move.
At this time, Link could see the appearance of the figure clearly. This man was about 1.9 meters tall, with a strong figure like a bear, and his appearance was very rough. He was about 25 years old. He was Link's cheap second brother, Clyde Moore. Lenny.
Clyde Molainey stood up to Wharton, stared at Wharton with his eyes, and said angrily in his voice, "The third brother finally came back, and you, the eldest brother, didn't go to greet him, but rushed to show off his prestige. Eye-opener!"
"Let me go!" Wharton also calmed down. He struggled for a while, but Clyde didn't hold him down, let go of the situation, and took a few steps back.
Wharton regained his freedom and suppressed the anger in his heart. He glanced at Clyde coldly, snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Link, and said with a sneer, "Okay, I learned some magic outside. Just play awe-inspiring at home! But you have to remember, in this castle, I am the master, if you refuse to accept, you get out of here!"
After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for Link to reply.
Link frowned. After a short period of contact, this Wharton gave him very bad senses. He was arrogant, impulsive, narrow-minded, and shallow. This was a spoiled boy.
Here, the second elder brother Clyde obviously couldn't understand Wharton, he spit at his figure and snorted coldly: "Sooner or later the family will be defeated by him!"
He is a Knight of the Kingdom, and his line of defense is the Silver Fortress in the north, 200 kilometers south of the Black Iron Fortress, which is the second largest fortress in the Kingdom.
This time during Winter Veil, he heard that his father was seriously ill, so he asked the officer for leave to rush home. On the way, he heard that his younger brother had succeeded in learning magic, and he would come back this time, so he was very happy.
Although he looked down on Link before, he just despised his cowardice and never bullied him. And when he became an official knight and stationed abroad for several years, he valued the unity and strength of the family even more.
The reason is very simple, your family is not strong, and there is no strong person in the family, you will be bullied outside, and others will not pay much attention to you when they mention you.
The appearance of a strong person depends on luck, it is very uncertain, but the unity of the family can be achieved by itself. If there is no strong person, then it is necessary to rely on unity to maintain the family foundation.
He hurried back all the way, and when he saw his elder brother's virtue as soon as he arrived at the door, he was suddenly furious, so he made the previous move.
Now that Wharton has left, Clyde sorted out his emotions, turned around and smiled at Link, "Little brother, you are using magic well."
He has been away for many years, and his knowledge is much better than Wharton. From Link's spell just now, he saw a lot of things, super fast casting speed, and very good magic control, and this younger brother only learned magic for a while. It's really good to have this ability in one year, one year.
However, in Clyde's view, Link's magical brilliance is very weak, and his level should not be high. The reason why he was able to bounce off Wharton is probably because the opponent was caught off guard.
But that was enough. The Molainey family finally had a magician, and Clyde was very pleased about it.
As for Clyde, Link only knows that this man is very lustful, and he likes to strike up conversations with beautiful women. There is nothing evil about him. In the past, at most, he just ignored him, so Link has no ill feeling towards him. Since the other party has a smiling face That's right, his expression softened, he put away the edelweiss magic, and said with a smile: "It's just a little trick."
Then he turned around, lightly patted the hand of his mother who was pale with fright, and comforted him: "It's okay, mother, brother is just confused for a while."
Then he smiled gently at the terrified elder sister who was also frightened. Seeing that the other person's face softened, he turned to Clyde and said, "Just now Trevor said that father is very weak. Why, is father sick?"
He hasn't received any letters from his family recently, so he doesn't know the current situation of the family.
Clyde's face was a little heavy: "Father fell heavily when he was riding out half a month ago. He didn't pay attention at the time, and the injury occurred the next morning. The pastor has come several times, but he can't do anything. Father's body Too weak to withstand powerful healing spells."
The principle of magic is to stimulate the potential of the body to repair the body. Now the pastor said that the old Viscount could not bear the magic.
Link was taken aback. He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that he came back. Originally, Wharton prevented him from seeing the old Viscount. He thought it was because they were afraid that they would develop some feelings after getting along for a long time. Now it seems that the old Viscount has reached the last moment. No wonder Wharton seemed so grumpy.
"Let's go meet him." Link said.
Clyde nodded, and the group walked towards the old Viscount's room.
The old Viscount's room is on the second floor of the castle, and he arrived there after a few steps. As soon as he reached the door, Link saw a priest coming out of the door. The priest didn't see Link and the others. The servant who followed said: "The Lord has already summoned the Sir, and it will take at most a week. You can prepare now."
Clyde heard it, walked a few steps to the pastor, and said in a deep voice, "Pastor, is there no other way?"
The pastor saw them now, his eyes turned around on everyone, and he knew that this was the old Viscount's family. He nodded with a helpless expression on his face: "The lord is completely unconscious, and the light of his life is almost gone. Go off, there's nothing I can do."
After speaking, the pastor left.
Claret sighed dejectedly, and everyone was silent.
After entering the room, Link looked over and saw the gray-haired old Viscount lying quietly like a piece of paper on the wide fragrant nanmu bed in the room. Exactly the same as the corpse.
Link knew at a glance that the pastor's statement was still conservative, and he would persist for three days at most, and it was absolutely impossible to wake up in these three days. There was no need for Wharton to prevent him from meeting the old Viscount.
A group of people stayed in the old Viscount's room quietly for a while, and then walked out. The whole journey was silent. Link didn't feel sad, but felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
After staying quietly for a while, it was 6 pm, and it was already dinner time.
Although the big brother Wharton is domineering, he still has a little bottom line after all, or in other words, he needs to save face. He ordered his servants to prepare a fairly sumptuous dinner.
There were only five people at the table, the three Morani brothers, Link's eldest sister, and Link's mother Lilith.
Wharton was sitting at the head, Clyde was beside him, and Link was sitting in the middle of the dining table. To his surprise, his mother Lilith and eldest sister Molly were a little trembling when they entered the table, and their eyes kept looking at Wharton , as if afraid that he would disagree.
Wharton said: "Why hesitate, sit down!"
Only then did Lilith and Molly dare to sit at the dining table.
This detail made Link frowned. Could it be that when he was not at home, his mother and eldest sister didn't even have the right to eat together at the table
But this was just his guess, Link didn't speak.
A few minutes later, Wharton said slowly, "Molly, father is running out of time. He made a marriage for you before he passed out, so we can't delay any longer."
Molly was carefully cutting a piece of venison meat, when she heard this, her body shook, her face turned pale, and she was speechless.
Lilith hesitated to speak, and the worry on her brows suddenly became more intense.
Link could no longer watch, put down the knife in his hand, and asked, "Wharton, what is the marriage? Why don't I know?"
Wharton sneered, chewed a piece of tender rib meat slowly, and then said: "It was my father's order. The man is the eldest son of Baron Arrow of Hejian County. This is my father's last wish."
At this moment, Molly suddenly collapsed, tears burst into her black eyes like Link's, and she cried, "No, this is not my father's last wish. My father was blinded by you!"
Then, she turned her head to look at Link, and cried, "The eldest son of the baron in Hejian County is a lunatic. He hurt his lifeblood while riding a horse, and ended up taking pleasure in torturing women. He has already tortured three wives to death. I don't want to marry past!"
Link's previous performance gave her confidence. At this time, Molly regarded her own brother as her life-saving straw.
Link frowned, and before he could speak, Wharton slammed the dining table and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"
Molly immediately silenced, she bit her lip tightly, bleeding was already coming from the bite, but she didn't dare to speak anymore, obviously, Wharton was very aggressive.
Wharton turned his head to look at Link, and said with a half smile: "My dear brother, Baron Arrow doesn't want a dowry, and the dowry is a full 1,000 gold coins. Although his son loves to play, he is not crazy. After Molly passes by, just be more careful, and nothing will happen. Besides, this is what my father meant."
Link was indifferent to these words. He glanced at his mother and eldest sister, and saw that one of the two women was full of sorrow, and the other was full of tears. He put down the fork in his hand, pulled up a cloth towel and wiped his mouth, and said lightly: " I disagree."
Wharton's face turned livid, and he was about to explode, so Clyde immediately came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, stop arguing, we'll talk about this after dinner!"
Wharton was still a little jealous of his younger brother. He snorted coldly and reminded: "Clyde, don't forget that your knight armor cost the family 1,500 gold coins. This is the family's savings for three years. In this matter, the family still owes foreign debts... "
"Okay, stop talking!" Clyde slapped the knife and fork on the dining table, and left in a huff, he didn't bother to pay attention to the mess in the family.
Wharton laughed as if he had won the battle, and turned to Link and said, "This matter has been settled, and your ideas are useless."
Link smiled and said again: "I think you heard it wrong. This is not my idea, but my decision. I decided to take my mother and sister to my territory!"
Warren disdained: "Hmph, what are you taking care of? You've only studied magic for a year, so it's not bad if you can take care of yourself... Uh, what is this?"
Link smiled and raised his hand, showing the baron seal given to him by the king. He continued: "You probably haven't looked at this ring carefully, have you? It was a gift from King Lane. Now, I am a baron and have my own territory , since my father is gone, I will take care of my mother and sister by myself."
As soon as these words came out, Wharton was stunned, while Lilith and Molly's eyes were full of surprise.
At this moment, the voice of the second brother Clyde suddenly came from outside the castle: "Enemy attack!"
