Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 584: Parents are short-lived

Views:

Claude was lying on the green grass, squinting his eyes comfortably and seeming to be sleeping. There were three little ones playing around him. From time to time, they regarded Claude's body as a hill to climb, climbing up and down, and even kicked Claude's face with their bare feet...

Claude endured it, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed the three little ones and pricked their faces with his beard stubble, teasing the three little ones until they screamed for help. Then Anna and Sheila came over and took away the three little ones, leaving Claude free.

Sheila handed Claude a glass of iced blueberry juice, looked at the three little ones being taken care of by Anna and the maid, and said with some envy: "They are really cute..."

"We can work hard and you can be a mother..." Claude said.

Now Claude is taking Sheila to take refuge in his sister Anna's ranch. Ever since he forcefully took away his eldest son Tesore from Field Manor and threw him into the military camp to force him to join the army, he has become the most popular person in Field Manor. The unpopular person became the enemy of Kaifani and her mother. From that night on, Kaifani never said a word to him again. She even refused to let him have contact with her second son, Byrgassi, and her baby daughter, Amelia...

As for the mother, forget it. She fell ill again and lay in bed. She even cursed Claude in bed, scolding him for being unfilial and heartless. She even threw her beloved grandson Tesore into the military camp. , there is no father-son feeling at all. It is better for such a son to die early or something clean, otherwise he will one day make her poor mother angry to death...

It can only be said that both women have no brains. They have forgotten what is the fundamental reason for their current status. Just like her mother cursed Claude to die a good death, she didn't understand that if something happened to Claude, Tesore, who had been forced to join the army, would not be able to leave the military camp and go home, but would lose Claude. The situation is even more miserable.

Sister Anna rushed back from the ranch to check her mother's condition, and finally came out with a cold face and told Claude that the old lady was strong as hell, in good health, and it would be normal for her to live another twenty or thirty years. Now I'm lying in bed half pretending to be sick and half feeling ashamed and angry. The family heir who was finally cultivated was thrown into the military camp by Claude. She felt shameless...

Since his mother's health is fine and his wife Kaifuni treats him coldly, Claude will naturally not stay at Field Manor and receive such cold treatment. So he simply sent guards to pick up Sheila, and they went to his sister Anna's ranch to relax and make himself feel better.

One of the three little ones is Leo, the son of sister Anna and Mike Jack, and the other two are the twins of brothers Blovik and Adele. But after Adele died, her sister Anna adopted the two children, the boy named Mir and the girl named Betty. Now the three children are more than three years old, and they are at their most naughty, mischievous and cutest times.

When they first met Claude and Sheila, the three little ones were still a little strange and scared. After all, Claude went to the kingdom to fight for more than two years before returning, so he was a complete stranger to the three children. However, within two days they became familiar with Claude and were no longer afraid. They pestered Claude to play with him every day, making Sheila envious.

The three little ones were tired from playing and started to sleep. Only then did the younger sister Anna have time to sit down next to Claude and ask Claude to help her send a reply letter to Madam Maria, thanking her for asking Claude to bring it to her. My sister Anna said that she would study this notebook carefully and live up to Mrs. Maria's high expectations.

"You don't want to go back to the magic laboratory in the Blackstone Gunsmithing Workshop?" Claude asked in surprise.

Anna nodded and told Claude that she did not want to and could not go back there to continue helping Claude with new weapon experiments. First, her mechanical knowledge base is not as solid as Mrs. Sonia's, so she only plays the role of an assistant there. Second, now that we have these three little ones, it is impossible to go there to help in a short time.

In the next few years, her younger sister Anna will have to stay at the ranch to take care of the growth of the three little ones. In addition, the three little ones have a little trouble from time to time, which makes her busy. It just happens that Claude brings back Lady Maria's potion. Experiment notes, so Anna decided to pick up pharmacy research again and strive to become an intermediate pharmacist as soon as possible.

Now that his sister Anna has decided to become a pharmacist again, Claude will naturally not object, but he feels sorry for forcing Anna to switch careers to experiment with new weapons, which delayed his sister's future as a pharmacist.

But her sister Anna didn't care. She told Claude that most of the magically gifted street children and orphans she adopted for her family have grown up, and their magic level has reached level one mage. Their loyalty to the family can be confirmed. , how to develop next is what Claude needs to consider.

There are a total of fourteen boys and girls. Except for Claude's illegitimate son Mallex, whose magical talent has reached the level of a third-ring rune mage, the other thirteen people's magical talents are not very outstanding. They can only barely reach the level. Passing level. Even becoming a first-level mage requires two or three years of hard training. At present, the basic spells of the remaining nine teenagers have not been determined. Claude needs to consider what kind of mage they will become in the future.

By the way, Mallex originally wanted to join the army, but he was taken by Master Bird and became his grandfather's right-hand man. Master Bird hopes to hand over all his life's earnings to his precious grandson, so that he can completely inherit the knowledge and property of the Milosky family and become another outstanding master of mechanical manufacturing and invention.

There are also four magic apprentices who are girls. They were tacitly divided between Mrs. Sonia and her sister Anna and became their experimental assistants. As for the nine teenagers, it was left to Claude to decide whether to make them rune mages or battle mages according to his needs.

Claude asked about the situation and heard from his sister Anna that two of the boys should be very talented in magic experiments, so he decided to let the two of them follow Mrs. Sonia and become rune mages. The remaining seven teenagers are naturally the battle mages. They will become a force in the shadows in Claude's hands.

Sheila was very interested in this and volunteered to train these seven teenagers. Claude agreed to her request. It was decided to let Sheila lay a solid foundation for the magic of these seven teenagers. When they reached the rank of second-level battle mage, let them go to the military to polish it, and let her younger brother Blovik lead them to experience and make them Become the family's magical shield and sword.

After talking about the business, her sister Anna asked Claude why he insisted on letting Tesiore serve as a soldier, and he didn't care about falling out with his mother and Kaifani for this reason. Claude smiled bitterly, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Logically speaking, in this Faslan world, men basically call the shots. This is the traditional custom. Of course, there are also examples of henpecking or mother-headedness.

The only blame is that Claude was busy outside and did not take care of his family. With the improvement of living conditions and the continuous improvement of his status as Claude became more powerful, coupled with those people who wanted to please and flatter him, their mother and Kaifani finally forgot about being human. The fundamental thing in doing things is to make the Field family a noble family that everyone admires. Even his younger brother Blovik left the family because of Adele's death.

But the departure of her younger brother Blovik did not make her mother learn a lesson. On the contrary, Kaifani also coveted the position of head of the family left after her younger brother left. Claude had always had his own opinions and would not be influenced by others, so his mother, who became more stubborn as he got older, decided to raise Claude's eldest son into a nobleman who satisfied them, and became a member of the Field family. The head of the family.

Claude has always been very dissatisfied with his eldest son Tesore, because Tesore relied on his grandmother and mother's love for him and was a lawless little devil at home with an extremely bad personality. Claude wanted to teach him a lesson many times when he was at home, but his mother stopped him. After that, he went to war everywhere and had no time to personally educate his eldest son. In the end, he could only let his mother and Kaifni discipline him, but he was very disappointed with his eldest son.

Even though Claude has been away from home for a long time, he still sees everything in the house. Field Manor's steward Swenson and other servants, as well as the guards, are the eyes set by Claude. Tesore, who has received the so-called aristocratic inheritance education training, will make detailed reports to Claude on every move he makes. It was because Claude learned the truth that these mothers and Kaifani didn't know that he decided to throw his eldest son into the military camp. If he couldn't temper him, he would treat him as if he didn't have this son.

With Claude's power and status as marshal of the kingdom, he can legally exempt his relatives from military service. So his eldest son, Tesore, never thought he would ever serve in the military. After receiving the so-called aristocratic inheritance education training, he learned one thing in front of others and another behind his back. In front of his grandmother and mother, he was always a sensible, well-behaved, humble and studious child. The only problem was that he seemed to be a little lustful... .

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with men being lustful, they just need to temper and control their desires. But after Tesore came of age, he used his status to do whatever he wanted with maids and servants. There were seven cases of forced relations that Claude knew about. In the end, it was Caifuni who came forward to calm the matter down with money. Then the maids and servants were dismissed.

Although Tesore was fair, fat, and elegant, he was unable to vent his desires in Field Manor and became a frequent visitor to major taverns in Lanhu City. He even used his family's money to keep a maid in the tavern. It wasn't until the tavern maid got pregnant and wanted to take this further that the matter came to Claude's mother.

Tesore said that he was just deceived and had a relationship with the maid because he was drunk. Now he was coerced by the tavern maid. He didn't know if the child was his, and he shirked all his responsibilities. Then the mother played a trick, using potion to abort the child in the maid's belly, and then gave her a large sum of money so that the maid would never appear in Lanhu City. Because of Claude's power, the maid had no choice but to leave Lanhu City...

From this incident, it can be seen that Tesore has a fierce character and is irresponsible. He likes to shirk responsibility. All he has learned is the hypocrisy and cruelty of the aristocracy. After Claude knew about this, he decided to throw his eldest son into the military camp. Anyway, the army itself is a big melting pot. Throwing bad iron in will produce fine steel. If it cannot be tempered, it will be scrap and will be eliminated naturally.

It's just that Claude came back and was busy dealing with military affairs. He hadn't figured out how to let his eldest son join the army. As a result, his mother jumped out and asked him to go home and offered to take Tesore back to the kingdom to take over Claude. As the Earl of the Kingdom, I received the hereditary family territory granted by His Majesty the King. Claude was so angry that it was his mother and son's turn to make the decision for him. He immediately turned his back and forcibly enlisted Tesore into the army, which made the plan of his mother and Kaifani come to nothing. The basket was empty.

Sometimes when I think about Claude, I find it funny that his mother actually said something that if something happened to him, Tesore would inherit and take over everything. She and Kaifani never understood that if something happened to Claude at this moment, only his younger brother Blovik would inherit everything Claude left behind to keep the Field family safe. If Tesore comes to inherit, then the Field family will be wiped out...

When Claude slowly finished explaining the cause and effect, his sister Anna also looked a little sad. Her mother was not like this originally. She didn't expect that the older she gets, the more stubborn her mind becomes. At that time, his father died and his mother was bedridden, so the whole family relied on Claude for support. Later Claude joined the army, and his sister Anna helped at home.

Even though her mother doted on her younger brother Blovik at that time, life was difficult and her younger sister helped her to discipline him, so his younger brother Blovik did not grow crooked, and instead became a sensible child. It wasn't until Claude came back as captain of the kingdom that things started to improve at home, and then Kaifani came in, and life became more comfortable day by day. After Kaifani gave birth to Tesore, her mother began to turn her attention and pampering to her precious grandson...

"Tesore entered the military camp, did you behave well?" Anna asked.

Claude shook his head: "It's very ordinary. He was beaten very badly the day before yesterday, and now he is still lying in the treatment room. It's his own fault. When he saw a recruit who was smaller and thinner than himself, he thought he was easy to bully. . I didn’t expect that the other party had a stubborn temper and fought with his life, and then he was severely punished... By the way, his name is Treckley now, and it has nothing to do with me. "

My sister Anna rolled her eyes. It has nothing to do with you. Why do you know so much about him being injured in a fight and entering the treatment room

Claude defended: "I didn't interfere, I just asked people to pay attention to see if this kid can still have some potential and understand some things in the military camp. I didn't demand that he be like me and Blovik, I just hope that he can at least If he can meet the qualified standards, not to mention being a tiger, it is enough to become a family dog, so that he can at least keep the share of the family business left to him... "

"What about Balgacy?" my sister asked again.

Belgacy is Claude's second son. He is five years younger than Siole. He is now fifteen years old and in the first grade of Lanhu City Junior High School.

"Belgasi is different from Tesore. He is quieter. He likes to read and write. He also studies liberal arts. When he graduates from junior high school, I will see if I can send him to the Royal Capital to study at the Wang Jia Literary Academy." Claude Sometimes I wonder why my two sons are not as strong as I and my brother were when they were young. Maybe this is the so-called pampering. Like the body he traveled through and his younger brother Blovik, they all studied physical education when they were young and were the best in the country.

The two sons of Claude, Tesore and Belgassi, both looked like gentlemen and scholars. Tesore was just pretending, but Byrgassi was really weak and quiet. This is probably because the living conditions are so good. For example, in previous lives, children in the countryside were stronger, more naughty, and more resistant to beatings than children in the city...

Claude stayed at his sister Anna's ranch for more than ten days. He received news from the Lanhu City Military Region Headquarters that Marshal Bolognik, President Hindman and most of the Dominion Councilors returned to the Overseas Dominion and accompanied them. Also coming back were more than a dozen generals including Mike.

Currently, those who remain in the Beibu Gulf territory are General Skerry and Speaker Bennett and other thirty congressmen. They will be responsible for coordinating the development of the Dominion's large hereditary family territory in the Beibu Gulf and the coastal area of Kannas Prairie. The person responsible for the social order and security of the Karnas Prairie is General Albert Lund, the acting commander of the Thunder Legion, and the one stationed in the Royal City of Polyvisia is the Rock Legion, commanded by General Beach Kerin.

As for Mai Jack waiting for the dozen generals to come back, there is nothing they can do. The last time the Kingdom's Ministry of War conducted a large-scale wholesale sale of generals when discussing military merits, they promoted 22 major generals to the two legions of the Dominion Military Region in one go. The original eight major generals were promoted to the Kingdom's Lieutenant General, and the original Lieutenant General was promoted to the Kingdom's Colonel. Will. As a result, the Thunder Legion and the Rock Legion did not have so many positions to place so many generals, and almost the chief officer of a main field regiment was a major general of the kingdom.

Fortunately, eight major generals and three lieutenant generals of the kingdom are about to retire, and Marshal Bolognik is also about to step down from his military post and become a local administrative official in the overseas autonomous territories. Claude has the power to decide to carry out military reforms and transfer some capable generals. The recall to serve at the headquarters of the overseas autonomous military region reduced the embarrassing situation of piles of lieutenant generals in the two legions.

This time, McJack came back to preside over the daily affairs of the Dominion Military Region Headquarters. His promotion to Kingdom Lieutenant General this time has made him qualified to be responsible for the official affairs of the Military Region Headquarters. The dozen generals he brought back will also serve in various departments of the legion headquarters, and some will become Claude's senior staff, jointly planning the implementation of the wildfire plan against the colonies of various countries on the west coast.

Claude had to bid farewell to his leisurely life at his sister Anna's ranch and returned to Lanhu City.
