Chapter 426 Jealousy, Investigation
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspWutong has just regained its disadvantage and brought the situation back to relative balance again. Both sides must be cautious about any subsequent operations.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn response to this, in the remote Hezhong region on the outskirts of Hinofan City, his old classmates and new junior students were all happy for him and drank a glass of juice.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn the same area, it is not just here that people pay special attention to this game because of Wutong.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspTo the west of Sanyao City in the east of Hezhong area, if you follow the town checkpoint passage under Route 3, you can go to Qibao City, where there is a famous historical museum.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAnd to the northwest of Route 3 between Sanyao City and Qibao City, there is a large lake. Beyond this large lake, there is a common mountainous area with dense trees.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn this city, located about 120 miles away from the northern suburbs of Qibao City, there is a medium-sized city called Wenxi City.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThis is the official name, but the locals call their city Mora City, because most of the city, whether it is the mayor or the gym leader, or the Elf Research Institute and some ranches in the suburbs, etc. The owners of the land are all members of the Mora family.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAs a family that has been passed down for more than three generations, the Mora family has a real castle in the east of the city towards the lake. It is a typical pointed-arch castle in the Western style. In this world, the Hezhong area also belongs to the Western region of the world.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThis means that in the old times, the Mora family was actually a new family, because there are mainly two types of castles in this area, one is the barrel vault that has gradually disappeared from history, and the other is the barrel vault that became popular seven hundred years ago. The pointed arch is characterized by the tall pointed hat-like part above the castle. As for other architectural structures, most of them have disappeared in the long river of history.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn this castle, it no longer has a completely ancient atmosphere. Electronic equipment such as telephones and televisions can be seen in this castle.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn a small living room on the second floor of the castle, this is usually a place where the young members of the family gather for entertainment and private gatherings.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAt this time, several boys and girls who looked to be in their teens were sitting randomly on a few real animal skin sofas. The pattern and color looked like the fur of a long-haired dog, and a thin and clear large screen was playing Live broadcast of this year's Quartz Conference in the Kanto region.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp Among the four teenagers, three boys and one girl, they all look 70% to 30% similar to each other. As long as one looks closely, one can tell that they are related.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspOne of the young men with a strong build and dark skin pointed at the masked young man standing in the red team trainer area on the grassland field where the camera turned to in the live TV broadcast. He turned his head to face the other young man with a mocking look on his face. He deliberately smiled and asked: "Amber, isn't this masked boy the boy you met when you were traveling in the Kanto region last year? His name is Wutong, right?"
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThe boy named Aibo looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with blond hair, blue eyes and a delicate face. After hearing these words, his expression immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said with a slight twist: "It's just an orphan whose parents died. Killing a worm and burning his face, I didn't expect that."
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspI didn’t expect to appear at the Quartz Conference
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThe other three people mentally added this sentence for the youngest son of the current patriarch of the Mora family, and the eldest boy among them looked a little older than Aibo, and looked six or seven times similar to Aibo, but his face was calm and heavy. Many, after hearing this, just smiled slightly and said softly: "We are a heritage family with more than ten generations of heritage. Albert, as the son of our family head, you don't need to argue with an orphan in the countryside. "
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAfter hearing this man’s words, Albert’s face became even more ugly. He looked at the uncle’s youngest son, Allen, and then at the masked boy on TV who stood as straight as a pine tree. He recalled that he was in Kanto. After something happened in the area and he returned home, he was in trouble because of it.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspIn the old days, being able to become a separate kingdom and owning kings and aristocratic families were basically inseparable from the power of elves. In older times, they were called Warcraft. Compared with humans, ancient elves were before humans had guns and artillery. It has greater power than humans. To measure the military strength of a certain force, it mainly depends on the warcraft and beast trainers it possesses.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThe Mora family has risen and stabilized one side, and has even made a relatively smooth transition from the world war more than 200 years ago to the present. It relies on elves like dancing swans, which form a flying army in the sky and cooperate with lightning rods. The special Thunder Zebras are air force with few weaknesses on the battlefield.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspDancing Swan's weaknesses are rocks and electric attributes. Its flying and water attributes are even more afraid of damage from electric skills. However, when the lightning rod's Thunder Zebra is present, it can absorb the electric skills that attack Dancing Swan, and rock attribute elves need to be considered more. Next time, will I be beaten to a pulp by the dancing swans with water attributes first, and then consider the issue of restraint?
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThey have a special breeding method for dancing swans and thunder zebras, as well as a complete breeding process to cooperate with war. This is the most critical reason why their family has been rooted here for seven hundred years and has a firm grasp of this city. In that world war, he negotiated terms with the Allied forces in the United States, preserved the family's vitality, and successfully transitioned to modern society.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAs a direct descendant of the family, he had originally spotted a dancing swan with great potential. Even the elders in the family said that as long as he cultivated it well, he could reach the ace level used by the king trainers and put it in the hands of a regional league champion. After cultivating it for several years, he is qualified to serve as the main elf.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp Those dancing swans bred in the family will be screened out if their potential is excellent or above.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp For the young children of the direct and side branches of the direct line, these dancing swans are prepared for their fourteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. The legal adulthood for young people in the Hezhong area is fourteen years old, and they can When you turn 12, choose one of these high-potential dancing swans as a coming-of-age gift.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAi Bo is fourteen years old this year. As the youngest son of the patriarch, the elder brother above him is already sixteen years old. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth when he thought of this last year. Originally, this dancing swan with outstanding potential only appeared once every ten years. He As the son of the clan leader, of course he has a good chance of keeping the annual ring as a coming-of-age gift for him.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThat incident only happened last year. As long as no one was killed, it was actually a trivial matter for the aristocratic family that controlled a city.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspBut this kind of matter related to reputation can actually be small or big. It happens that the elder brother of the patriarch, his uncle, is thinking about his youngest son Allen. At the same time, this cousin has indeed shown outstanding performance since he was a child. combat talent.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspEspecially last year, under the pressure of the patriarch, there was still little hope for Allen to get help from his father. Seeing that the coming-of-age ceremony was approaching a month ago, Albert even mocked his cousin at that time, but Allen A few days later, he was noticed by a senior alliance investigator in a noble school and obtained the qualification of investigator reserve.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThis means that as long as Allen makes no mistakes during the three years of reserve training and reaches a passing grade, he can steadily become a junior rookie investigator, adding another point to his family's say in the alliance. .
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp Taking this opportunity, Allen's father decisively used his mother's family connections, and then exerted pressure with some of his close elders to cause the death and disfigurement of other elves in the Kanto area because Abel was "still young and ignorant" This matter, as the starting point, successfully forced the dancing swan to become Allen's coming-of-age gift last year.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThis year, naturally, Albert could only get an adult gift from a dancing swan whose potential was higher than excellent, but obviously not as good as that outstanding potential.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp“Humph”
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAmber could no longer watch the TV. He stood up and left the small living room. Looking back, he saw the beautiful girl who came to his family as a guest, but he only looked at his cousin with adoring eyes, and his heart was filled with jealousy like a flame. And poisonous snakes grow and spread without vines.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp He clenched his hands into fists and trembled slightly, and left quickly. He didn't want to see his excellent cousin who came back to the family for a holiday like him, the cousin with the most potential under the age of 18 in the family, his teeth chattering. .
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspAfter a while, Albert found one of the housekeepers in the family who had always had a good relationship with him in a certain room. Seeing that there was no one around, he gave instructions softly.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp "Uncle Reagan, I need you to do me a favor."
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp "Young Master Aibo, you're too polite. Just tell me what's going on."
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspThe dark-skinned middle-aged man named Reagan has slightly white temples. He is loyal to the patriarch's faction, so he will naturally be polite to the young master.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp "Investigating a young man in the Kanto area, that's what you know." Albert's eyes were reddish, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke. His anger was clearly shown, or it would be more appropriate to express his anger.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbspReagan, a son from an old-era family could become a housekeeper. Of course, he had the insight to see through the young master’s thoughts at a glance. He instinctively wanted to stop him from continuing to dwell on this matter. However, after weighing more factors, he thought that the young man was just He was an orphan, and the young master lost the rare dancing swan because of it. Although the patriarch would not argue with the masked boy because of his status, he was a servant after all, so it was not impossible. He thought about it and nodded in agreement.
&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp&anbsp "Okay, Master, it's just that the investigation won't be too troublesome. I'll give you the information in a few days."
