In the courtyard of the Baruch family mansion, Hogg was lying on a chair and reading a very thick book carefully.
"Master Hogg, dinner is ready." A maid came over and said respectfully.
Since Steward Ciri took Little Wharton to the O'Brien Empire, there has been no servant in the entire Baruch family. Hogg is at least the patriarch of the Dragonblood Warrior family, so he can't do the servant's work by himself. So Hogg also gritted his teeth and hired a maid.
"Oh." Hogg closed the book in his hand, glanced at the maid next to him, and sighed in his heart, "Fortunately those nobles know that my son is now a genius magician of Ernst College, and are willing to lend me gold coins, otherwise I will live It was even more difficult.”
"According to the current tax rate in Wushan Town, we can barely pay the kingdom's taxes and the salaries of the guards." Hogg felt aggrieved when he thought about it. When the family passed down to his generation, most of the things that could be sold were sold out.
fortunately…
He Hogg had two sons, two amazing sons.
"Lin Lei is now a fifth-level magician, and he is about to graduate. The family can hand it over to him, and I can do what I have always wanted to do."
Hogg got up and walked towards the living room, when suddenly—
"Lord Hogg, Lord Hogg." Hillman's voice sounded from afar.
Hogg looked suspiciously at the gate of the mansion, but after a while Hillman stepped in, and beside Hillman was a sturdy young man.
Seeing the smile on the young Hogg's face immediately bloomed, he greeted him with a big laugh: "Lin Lei, you're back, haha, it's really great, this is really a big surprise."
"Agatha, please prepare a hearty dinner." Hogg patted Linley on the shoulder affectionately, "Good boy, you've caught up with me. By the way, you usually don't come back until the end of the year, so what happened this time? ?"
Linley smiled mysteriously: "Father, I will tell you after dinner."
"So mysterious?" Hogg frowned deliberately.
Hillman next to him smiled and said, "Lord Hogg, Linley, he told me that he prepared a mysterious gift for you. I asked him, but he didn't tell me."
"Uncle Hillman." Linley frowned and looked at Hillman.
"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it." Hillman laughed.
As night fell, the earth was dark, and several candles in the Baruch family's living room were burning, illuminating the entire living room. After dinner, the servant Agatha tidied up the table, and only Linley and Hogg were left in the hall before Linley put his package in front of his father.
"this is?" hogg looked at lei suspiciously.
"Wait to open it." Linley got up and closed the door of the living room. Hogg couldn't help laughing: "So mysterious? You have to close the door."
Linley sat down confidently: "Father, you open this package."
"I want to see what's in here." Hogg opened the package curiously, but he didn't expect that there was a big bag in the package. stuffed bulging.
Hogg touched the big bag and wondered: "Such a big bag doesn't look like gold coins, is it a gravel?" Hogg was a little confused, and while talking, Hogg opened the bag. .
As soon as the bag is opened -
The colorful and colorful magic crystal nuclei exude splendid color light, and Hogg's eyes can't help but flower. This bag is full of various magic crystal nuclei, which Hogg has never seen in his life.
"Is this the magic crystal nucleus?" Hogg's eyes widened, he looked at Linley in shock, and then swallowed hard. Hogg had also seen the magic crystal nucleus before, but he had never seen so many magic crystals. nuclei. So many magic crystal nuclei are too visually stunning.
Linley nodded and said, "Yes, there are almost all magic crystal nuclei in this bag, only a few dozen are magic spar. According to the value of the magic nuclei recorded in the book, the value of these magic nuclei should be more than 70,000 gold coins. "
"More than seventy thousand gold coins?" Hogg felt his heart twitch violently.
Hogg has been troubled by money all these years, and now Hogg is asked to take out five hundred gold coins, and Hogg will probably go out to borrow money. Its embarrassment can be imagined.
More than 70,000 gold coins!
What concept? More than 70,000 gold coins can definitely support the entire Baruch family for over a hundred years.
"Of course, more than 70,000 gold coins are only figures based on the prices recorded in the book. The prices recorded in the books are in the past, and the current price should be slightly higher. It is estimated that they can be sold for 80,000 gold coins." Linley replied honestly.
Hogg looked at the colorful pile of magic crystal nuclei in front of him, and felt as if he was dreaming, and his whole person had a floating feeling.
"Hoo, hoo!"
Hogg took a few deep breaths before trying to calm down.
"Linley, where did you get these magic crystal cores?" Hogg suddenly came to his senses, staring at Linley, "You went to the Warcraft Mountains?"
Linley nodded: "Yes, father, these magic crystal nuclei were obtained from the Mountains of Warcraft."
"You, you..." Hogg was a little annoyed. "The Demonic Beast Mountains is the most fierce place in the entire continent. It is such a big thing to enter it. Why did you enter without consulting me? Do you know how dangerous it is?"
As soon as the words came out, Hogg laughed at himself.
Linley had already gone inside, and of course he knew how dangerous it would be.
Hogg looked at Lin Lei, who was silent with his head bowed in front of him. He looked like he was 'listening to the reprimand'. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "Lin Lei, it's not my father who wants to scold you, you must know that you are now a genius magician from Ernst College. Teacher, the future achievements are limitless. The burden of our Baruch family will fall on your shoulders. After all, your brother is still young, and it will take some time for him to become a real dragon blood warrior. You carry my hope on your shoulders. , the hope of our Baruch family, so you can't play with your life."
Linley didn't dare to make a sound.
"Take off your shirt and let me see if you're injured," Hogg said suddenly.
Take off your shirt
Linley hesitated. No one could see him in his clothes, but Linley himself knew how terrifying the dense scars on his body were.
"Take it off." Hogg frowned.
Linley hesitated for a moment, and finally took off his short shirt to reveal his sturdy upper body. The sturdy upper body was also covered with scars, and even a few of them were fatal injuries!
Seeing the terrifying scars on Linley's body, Hogg felt his heart tremble.
Hogg's trembling hands slowly touched Linley's chest and the almost fatal scars on his abdomen. Seeing these scars, Hogg's heart felt sour. How could his son survive so much suffering? , Hogg couldn't even think about it.
"Linley, you..." Hogg choked.
"Father, I'm fine." Linley immediately comforted him.
Hogg looked at the pile of magic crystal nuclei that represented great wealth next to him, and then looked at the terrifying scars on Linley's body like tree roots, and Hogg's whole body trembled slightly.
He hates!
Hate yourself incompetent, useless!
Taking a deep breath, Hogg looked up to the sky and said nothing, and then said in a low voice, "Linley, you are tired after traveling all day. Go and rest early."
"Yes, father."
Linley left quietly, leaving only Hogg sitting quietly in the candlelit living room...
