Wushan City. House of the Baruch clan.
Hogg had just finished his lunch not long ago, and was currently sitting, relaxed, on the sofa, reading a book leisurely.
Two blurry shadows suddenly entered the manor. It was Linley and Hillman, who had rushed all the way back from Fenlai City. Right now, both of their faces contained uncontrollable excitement, and Linley started shouting from afar, "Dad, I've returned!"
"Mr Hogg. “Hillman is also very excited.
Hogg raised his head. Seeing the wild excitement on Linley and Hillman's faces, he had a positive premonition. He stood up immediately. Staring at Linley and Hillman, his voice trembled as he said, "How did the magus assessment test go?"
The Baruch Clan had been in a downward spiral for too long. This ancient clan needed a mighty figure to restore it to its former glory!
"Lord Hogg, Ernst Institute! It was the Ernst Institute! Linley was accepted by the Ernst Institute! "Hillman said excitedly.
Hogg seems to have turned into a statue. At that moment, Hogg felt as if his brain was suddenly deprived of oxygen, as everything became empty for a moment.
"Ernst ... sir? A deity? "Hillman called twice.
Hogg, slowly regaining his mental abilities, suddenly rushed towards Linley and Hillman. In a tone of disbelief, he said, "Ernst, did you just say, Ernst Institute?" Right now, Hogg's eyes were bulging and round.
"Dad, this is a letter of acceptance from the Ernst Institute. "Linley immediately handed the acceptance envelope to her father. Hogg was stunned for a moment, then quickly received the red envelope and took out a letter from it. He carefully scanned the letter.
Some names with bright red very prominent – "Ernst Institute" "Linley".
“Haha, hahahahaha! Elder of Baruch clan, there is hope for our clan again! "Hogg suddenly raised his head to the sky and laughed wildly, so loud that his entire body trembled, so hard that tears began to flow. "There is hope for our Baruch clan again!"
Those wild laughter and flowing tears really surprised Linley.
"Dad .." said Linley in a soft voice, as if afraid of disturbing his father.
Linley had never seen his father act so wild before, and his father's tears made Linley's heart tremble as well.
Housekeeper Hiri also came. He was also stunned by Hogg's reaction. Hiri doesn't know what just happened.
Hogg took a deep breath, then looked at Linley, his eyes filled with boundless excitement. "Good . ”
"Hillman, Uncle Hiri!" Hogg looked at the two of them. "Tonight, I'll have a party. Quick, make arrangements! Tonight, I am very happy, very happy. To have such a son, even if I die, I will be able to proudly face the elders of the Baruch clan. ”
"Yes, Lord Hogg," Hillman and Hiri responded.
"Squeaking squeaks!" Suddenly, the little Shadowmouse 'Bebe' rushed out from within Linley's clothes. He jumped onto Linley's shoulder to stare at Hogg, his little eyes filled with anger.
Mentally feeling the emotions of the Shadowmouse was small, Linley did not know whether to laugh or cry.
As it turned out, the little Shadowmouse had fallen asleep next to Linley's chest, but Hogg's explosive laughter shocked him. A baby Shadowmouse spends a lot of time napping, and hates being woken up. At this moment, of course he was very angry.
“Shadowmouse. A magical beast, Shadowmouse? ”After seeing the small Shadowmouse with Linley, Hogg's facial expression changed dramatically.
"Dad. "Linley was afraid that his father would attack, so he hurriedly said," Little Shadowmouse and I have already entered the pact binding souls. ”
Hogg seemed to have been struck by lightning. He stared stupidly for a long time. "You, you conquered and tamed this beast Shadowmouse?"
The two ways to tame a magical beast were 1) Subduing it by force, and 2) Setting up a magic formation that bound the soul.
Hogg naturally knew very well that Linley's physical strength was extremely weak. And even the weakest Shadowmouse was ranked third. And in addition, there was no way for Linley to set up a magical formation that bound the soul, so it couldn't possibly happen at all.
"Yes, dad, I've tamed it. "Say Linley was serious.
"Lord Hogg, Linley has really tamed this Shadowmouse. I personally witnessed it. This little shadowmouse was also the reason why in recent days, Linley had often caught wild beasts to feed the 'adorable pets' he had behind the backyard. “Hillman explained.
"He's feeding this 'pet?" Hogg thought for a moment, then looked at Linley in disbelief. “Shadowmouse magical beast. This is the 'cute beast' you told me you were feeding in the backyard? ”
Linley nodded honestly.
Hogg did not know whether to laugh or cry. 'That 'cute fet' is actually a magical beast?
Although he had many questions about how Linley might enter the soul-binding pact with the little Shadowmouse, Hogg was not too worried about it. Right now, he was in a beautiful mood.
“Good, enough with that topic. Hiri's uncle, Hillman, led the guards to immediately make arrangements. Tonight, I'm going to have an amazing party. "Hogg laughed loudly. Right now, his laughter was very full and carefree.
Linley looked at his father. From as far as he could remember, he had never seen his father so happy.
……….
That night too.
It was very noisy inside the palace of the Baruch clan. Even the ten plus bodyguards and their families had all been invited. There were five full tables placed in the main courtyard of the palace, and the entire Baruch palace was filled with laughter and excitement.
"Nyam nyam . “Little Wharton first takes this, then picks it up, eats vigorously.
"Young master Linley, congratulations on being accepted to the Ernst Institute. In the future, young master Linley would undoubtedly become a powerful, magus. "A clan guard laughed as he grilled Linley politely.
During this banquet, Linley was the main attraction.
Upon hearing that Linley had been accepted into the Ernst Institute, everyone present became excited. One could easily understand that entering the Ernst Institute meant entering a certain destiny. In the future, Linley would definitely not be restricted by the small small small town of Wushan.
"Sister, they're all grilling you. I also want. "Little Wharton grabbed his juice cup.
Looking at Wharton's small oily hands, Linley did not know whether to laugh or cry. But he still raised his own glass of juice and tapped it into Wharton's little cup.
“Come, we're brothers. "Linley smiled as she raised her cup as well.
…
Late at night, the ancestral hall of the Baruch family. Only Linley and his father were present.
The door to the ancestral hall was closed, and a line of candles lit up throughout the hall, making it quite warm. At this moment, Hogg was staring at the spirit tablet in the middle of the hall. His voice was low, he said, "Linley, after the fifth Dragonblood Warrior was born, our Baruch clan began to weaken, generation after generation, to the point where even the heirlooms of our hereditary ancestors were gone. Every time I think about it, I feel ashamed. We should be the noble Dragonblood Clan! ”
Linley stood behind him without making a sound.
He felt shame too.
An ancient clan that had survived five thousand years. The Dragonblood Warrior Clan. Linley felt proud in his heart. But their ancestral heirloom has been lost.
"Linley's. "Hogg suddenly turned around and looked at Linley solemnly. “From today onwards, I will no longer treat you as a child. I will regard you as the strongest pillar in the future of our Baruch clan! Our clan's hopes for the future will all depend on you, now. ”
"Yes, dad. "Linley firmly nodded.
"Wait a minute . I'll get something. “Hogg suddenly turned around and entered the hidden room next to the ancestral hall. Shortly after, he returned with a thick book in his hand. "Linley, take this and give it a good read. Memorize everything. ”
"This is?…"
Linley looked suspiciously at the thick book he had just received. There were no words on the cover, but when she opened it, there were four big words printed on the first page of – Secret Dragonblood Training Tome.
