"Very powerful. According to Master Baer, at least two of them are stronger than him!" Maxilan said with emotion, "There is such a strong strength at this age. I don't know what kind of teacher can cultivate such a genius." He glanced at the thoughtful Garen, "Did you go through a lot of hardships when you went out this time? But it can be regarded as a training. It seems that you have also become a totem master?"
Garen nodded.
"My totem is still being repaired. It was destroyed by a monster a few days ago. Now the light of the totem is much weaker. I didn't expect you to see it."
"Also, I can take some of the pressure off your father." Marcilan patted Garen on the shoulder.
"En." Jia Long nodded solemnly, and glanced at Baker's Stone Eye again.
After the next rewarding dinner, the Viscount presented Angel and the others with a lot of property, and provided some resources they needed for free. He even promised to write a letter of introduction to them, and they could go directly to the Royal Totem Academy of Kuwaitan for further study. It is truly the top academic institution in East Continent.
If you can sit down with a powerful silver lamp master, your future development will be limitless. This made Angel and others overjoyed. But immediately felt a little sorry for Garen. After all, they just teamed up to deceive Vindman. As for saving Garen's life? Pretty much the other way around.
But Garen didn't care at all. He didn't think much about how Angel and the others were feeling. What he cared about now were two issues. First, does Baker Stone Eye know the truth? Second, will the powerful monster outside move in this direction
Either of these two could lead to very troublesome events.
After living in the manor for two days, Garen keenly sensed that Baker Stone Eye and the others were secretly investigating. This made him even more vigilant.
But outside the manor, the Fukasawa giant crocodile and other totems he left behind have already felt the hidden threat that is gradually approaching. The giant beast was getting closer.

in the guest loft
Garen sat cross-legged on the mahogany chair, looking at Angel opposite him with a half-smile.
Angel has eaten and drank a lot in the past two days, and took a lot of good things from Viscount Vindman along the way. At this moment, being watched by Garen, he felt a little embarrassed, and blushed to avoid his sight.
"I said, why are you looking at me like that?! Say what you have to say! Just fart!" She couldn't help shouting.
The morning sun slanted in from the window and fell on the floor between the two, reflecting a faint red fluorescence. From time to time, some fine dust floated in the beam of light, like flying bugs.
Garen squeezed his hands together. "Are you having a good time these two days?"
"There is food and drink, and you can take it for free. No wonder it's uncomfortable!" Angel simply let go, "I've already taken it anyway, and you want to go back? Impossible! If you want money, at most, you will pay with meat!" She One hand, one eye closed. "Anyway, I lost this pile of meat here, do you want it or not!"
"Okay, stop joking." Garen shook his head and became serious. "I'm looking for you for business."
Angel also stopped joking. "Business? Isn't it safe now? What business can there be?"
Garen shook his head. "Remember that trail of black slime we found before we came here?"
"You mean that monster might move here?" Angel also opened his eyes wide. "Isn't it such a coincidence? As soon as we found a safe place, something happened right away?"
"It's just not such a coincidence that it's troublesome." Garen said flatly.
"You mean someone manipulated it?" Angel gasped.
"Pay attention to Baker Stone Eye and the others. I'll go out and check the surroundings myself," Garen said seriously.
"Can't we share it through vision? Or tell your father and they can do it?" Angel didn't understand.
"I have my own arrangements." Garen said calmly. "You should be mentally prepared. It won't be long before our peaceful days will come to an end."
Angel looked at his solemn face and licked his lips.
"It doesn't matter, I survived all the way to chase and kill, so what is this movement?"
Garen nodded, stood up, and the gray robe swung through the beam of light, stirring up a cloud of dust. He walked out of the room quickly, and soon only heard footsteps in the distance.
Angel shook her head. She couldn't understand this man more and more. The current situation was a mess and more and more mysterious.

Vindman Study
Garen and Vindman sat facing each other.
After serving the black tea, the maid quietly left. Close the door and leave only the two alone.
The steam of black tea lingered upwards, slowly rising, fading, and disappearing on the table between the two of them.
There was also a faint sweet fragrance in the air.
"Add your favorite toffee." Vindman pointed to the black tea. "Drink it, the taste outside is not as good as the one at home after all." He rarely showed a gentle smile.
Garen picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"I've become a totem master," he whispered.
"I know. Black-striped white tiger." Vindman was not surprised. "I'm not surprised that you choose this as your totem. Your talent determines that you have almost no possibility of evolution in the future. It's also good to choose the strongest Type 1 totem. Was it given to you by the totem master you saved last time? Not bad .”
Garen didn't know the difference, except for the light of the core totem and the butterfly totem, the rest of the silver totem lights were put away. What I'm afraid of is being seen by my father, which will affect my future plans.
"Why didn't you let me become a totem master? If you can't become a silver lamp master, at least a totem master can control part of your own destiny, right?" Garen asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
"Why? I don't know how you became a totem master. In your original situation, you must have paid a lot." Vindman shrugged helplessly. "I originally prepared another path for you. But now that you have become a totem master, it doesn't matter."
"Another way? Is it the same as Big Brother Maxilan?" Gallon keenly remembered the armor on Maxilan and the others.
"Yes. That is a new technology that I have researched with great concentration. It can weaken the light of the totem and reduce the requirements for use. It allows ordinary people to really use it for war." Vindman said with a little pride.
"For this, I have paid too much, but fortunately, I finally got the result. I have been preparing the strongest piece of work for you. It is completely prepared according to your physical characteristics. If it weren't for you suddenly He ran away from home and disappeared by himself. If it hadn’t been used suddenly, it might have caused too much pressure on all parties, and I would have asked you to cooperate in the modulation!”
Garen was silent, he didn't expect it to be like this. It is estimated that in the original history, this thing was forced to die before it was born. This led to no chance of showing up at all.
"What resources do you need for your totem? Go to the warehouse and get it yourself. Well, we have guests. You go and rest first." Vindman patted Garen on the shoulder.
Garen stood up, gave a slight salute, and turned to open the door.
Standing outside the door were Master Baffia and Baker Stone Eye. Master Baffia had a goatee beard, and his shiny bald head still faintly reflected the light.
"Master Baffia, Master Baker Stone Eye." Garen bowed his head in greeting. His current status is the smallest. Bafea and Baker Stone Eye are both of the same generation as his father, and their strength is similar. He is a first-class totem master, no matter in age or strength. In the eyes of both of them, he was just a little guy, not worth mentioning.
"It's Shia, I'll bring Master Stone Eye over here to ask your father something." Buffia said with a smile.
"Master Stone Eye?" Garen noticed the title, and Bafea obviously admired Baker's Stone Eye.
Baker Shiyan nodded at him politely, and stopped paying attention to him. The two walked into the study one after the other, and quickly closed the door.
Shell Stone Eye came here today to verify some details about Leanna back then. He happened to see the son of the lord viscount who was lucky enough to return home. His impression of this guy was average and vague. An ordinary type one totem master is not worthy of his attention, if he is not the son of the lord, he will not even take a second look.
It seems that the relationship between the two fathers and sons is still very good. This is a thought that flashed through his mind.
But the focus now is to see the viscount's reaction. He retracted his gaze and began to simulate any situation that might arise for a moment, making the best possible response.
Garen stood outside the door and paused for a while. He didn't hear any sound from inside. He immediately knew that there must be a soundproofing array here, so he didn't stay any longer and left the corridor. With Buffia around, Baker's Stone Eye should still be skeptical, but has not confirmed it.
"Master Shia is good."
"Master Shia."
"Would you like to go drink together, young master!"
Along the way, some totem masters Vindman recruited were in twos and threes, and they were not polite when they saw Garen, and they were treated as equals.
In this precarious front line, status is no longer overly valued by these people.
Garen had no intention of showing off, so he came out of the attic and greeted the totem masters one by one with a smile. It was in stark contrast to Baker Stone's indifferent and arrogant expression.
His handsome and powerful face also attracted a few pretty female totem masters, and sex was not too important in this stimulating environment of life and death. As long as the eyes are right, you can sleep directly in the same room at night. Tired of each other separated, perhaps still strangers.
However, Garen was not used to this kind of casual life.
Walking around the manor, he has noticed that Baker Stone Eye and others seem to have doubts about Vindman. The woman in red armor, Bai Lina, and the burly man, Tarian, were all looking around clumsily for news.
Even Garen, who is not good at intelligence, can't stand such clumsiness, and Daddy Vindman must have discovered it a long time ago. It's just that it's not clearly spread out.
Garen asked Leyla to go out to Black Swan Lake as an excuse. Since he was already a type 1 totem master, and he was also a black-striped white tiger totem master, which was far better than ordinary type 1 totem masters, so Vindman restricted him. very small. It is estimated that there are experimental subjects patrolling around him, which he can't see, so it is safe.
The two walked out of the manor easily, and walked slowly by the edge of Swan Lake. It was very weird. The strange fish in the lake didn't attack Garen at all, which was obviously related to Vindman's experiment.
Leila didn't ask Garen what he wanted to do, but just rarely watched Garen wandering around the manor honestly.
