Earl Lucas reached out and took it. He didn’t look at the name and time engraved on the bottle at all. Instead, he pulled out the stopper and sniffed. He smiled and said: "Twenty years of "burning" is my best Love. Hughes, I like it very much. Thank you for your gift."
"Your like is my pleasure, Grandpa Lucas." Hughes bowed slightly, and then returned to the old lady to sit down.
"Nalco, please sit down, don't stand still, is your relationship with me rusty?" Count Lucas suddenly found that Nalco was still standing, and quickly asked him to sit down, his voice angrily.
"Nalco, sit down quickly. How many years of friends have you been polite to Luca and me?" The old lady also urged.
Hughes nodded quickly at Nalco's eyes, and then he picked a corner of the sofa and sat down, thanking him.
"Nalco, yesterday you said that Gail's child was here, and I still complained about why you didn't bring Hughes, but you told me a reason. I didn't expect you to change your mind again today. Well. Are we no longer friends when we put on this noble skin? Isn’t Gael the student I’m most proud of?" Earl Lucas waited for the servants to get the tea on the water and immediately scolded at Nalco. .
"Hey, you are now the dean of the Wangjia Warrior Academy. During the enrollment period, how can I add chaos to you? Besides, this is not good now, did you also see Master Hughes?" Nalco Alas, a bitter smile explained.
"Huh, you're still a good acquaintance, otherwise you will be taught, hehe!" Count Lucas hehe smiled. With that expression, Hughes felt like a little complacent, as if he had been accommodated as a child. The rest of the Earl's family only looked at it with a smile, and no one had quietly reminded the Earl to pay attention to the image.
Hughes always had a gentle smile on his face, but he was speechless in his heart. He finally had a preliminary understanding of Madame Cynthia's evaluation of Earl Lucas. This elderly Earl, a great swordsman, really wrote everything on his face, just like the performance of an old child. His family is obviously deeply influenced by it, at least he is accustomed to such giggling and cursing.
"I heard that you are just fourteen years old, right?" Aunt Qi Li, Uncle Kinson's wife, suddenly asked with a smile, her words immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Yes, Aunt Qili, I will be 14 soon." Hughes nodded to the lady with a smile. He was very fond of this auntie, and facing her was like facing a clear and blue lake with ripples on the surface and a gentle breath everywhere.
Aunt Qili's eyes lit up, and she asked her husband Jinsen: "So, at this age, you can enter the Wangjia Warrior Academy. The innate conditions of Hughes must be very superior, right?"
Jinsen nodded with a smile: "There is no doubt that Hughes is a one-of-a-kind cultivation genius. However, you should not ask me this question, but your father and Asiliya, they know the college recruitment standards best. It should be Level 5 warrior, father?"
Earl Lucas nodded with a smile: "Gail gave birth to a good son. How many generations of noble families with excellent heritage can't continue the excellent cultivation qualifications of their ancestors. The Houghton family created another brilliant time Not far away."
The countess and the aunt Qili didn't know much about cultivation. But Jinsen and Asiliya, who knew the subtleties of them, could not help seeing Hughes. The evaluation that Earl Lucas just gave is very high, and under normal circumstances, the Kingdom Minister who is highly regarded by people with high weight should not say such a straightforward and positive evaluation.
Everyone like Count Lucas is used to it!
"Uncle Jinsen, you are too much. I came to Wangjia Warrior College this time, and I saw many young people who were better than me. Compared with them, your praise to me made me ashamed." Hughes quickly thanked and expressed Modesty. He had to interject quickly, otherwise it would be really bad after being praised for a while.
The Earl of Lucas waved his hand disapprovingly: "Ah~, it can't be said like this. Our Wangjia Warrior Academy recruits students from the entire kingdom, and the best children in all places are here with us. You can be one of them. You can be proud. You don’t always have to think about competing against all outstanding peers for a while. Since you can come in, your talents have already been affirmed by us old guys. Then, the height of your future life will be largely It depends on your efforts. It is too early to say who is better than you and better than you."
Huston felt the teaching and quickly saluted the count.
"Also, I think your fighting spirit has been condensed, and the growth rate is also very fast. The foundation of the 5th-level fighters has been consolidated very well. I believe you can reach the level of the 6th-level fighters in at most one or two months. In terms of your age, you can definitely be called a genius and don’t have to be too modest. The people we cultivate must not only be modest, but also sometimes arrogant. A guy without ambition can’t be a master. Remember this. "" Count Lucas taught Hughes one after another.
Hughes nodded frequently. He had never heard some opinions, but some of them coincided with what his father had said, as well as what he had learned, which made Hughes admire.
"6th-level fighters can all be captains in the legion, Hughes, you can't help but be content, the road is step by step. Going fast, you may not be able to reach the end!" Jinsen answered with a smile, tone It was easy, but the truth contained in the last sentence drew the attention of Hughes. He looked very grateful to the uncle.
The husband and son drew the topic to cultivation one after another, which made the old lady very dissatisfied. She patted the armrest of the sofa. After attracting everyone's attention, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, cultivation, You talk slowly after you come to school, don’t you have at least three years? Enough for you to talk, now, let Hughes tell me about the child of Gail and the little girl Betty. How many years haven’t I've seen them and I really miss them."
Earl Lucas shook his head and sighed: "The years are not forgiving. In a blink of an eye, Gail and they left the school, and now they have become generals. And we are all gray-haired."
These words were inevitably frustrating, and the pleasant atmosphere of the meeting guests had some influence. Aunt Qili immediately smiled and said: "Father, you are laughing again. The white-haired sword master is still the sword master!"
"Haha, you're right! It's nonsense again!" Count Lucas smiled heartily.
"Is your mother Betty okay?" the old lady asked passionately, the thin wrinkles on her face were scattered by the smile, full of radiance, it seemed to recall the good memories of the past, the taste of that happy time made her intoxicated. .
"Mother is very good, she misses you too. Although my mother didn't tell me much about you, but whenever my father mentioned your name, my mother was always very happy." Hughes sprinkled here A little lie in good faith. He had known Count Lucas for the first time. How could he know his wife? However, Hughes didn't talk casually about flattering. From the attitude of his father and Nalco towards Count Lucas, and the attitude of Granny Lily when she talked about her mother, he inferred that this is likely to be true. Just because she was still young, her mother had never told herself about Wangdu.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but complain about his father. He knew he was allowed to train and retrain, but he didn't know that before coming to the capital, he explained his previous stories and relationships, so he was prepared. Otherwise, he had to use the same risk as he is now, and he had to take the risk of saying the wrong thing and turned his brain to guess.
"Really? I knew that Betty's kind girl couldn't forget me. It's a pity that she hasn't been to Wangdu since that incident. It's a pity!" Granny Laili rubbed her redness Sigh in the corner of the eyes.
With a move in his heart, Hughes looked at Nalco, and the other nodded slightly.
Count Lucas saw the atmosphere a bit dull because of the old wife’s sadness, and said in a loud voice: "What are you doing? Just know that the children are all doing well. Hughes, your grandmother Lili just missed her little elf, When you write a letter back home, ask Betty to write to your grandmother Lili, will you?"
Hughes nodded quickly and agreed. He also felt that he was about to enroll in school. It was time to write a letter to his mother after coming here so that she could feel at ease.
"So, what about your father, how is he now?" Count Lucas asked again with a smile.
"My father is very good. Although he is still busy, he has more time at home than before. As for his work, his father never said that he was going home, and I didn't know." Hughes laughed.
Earl Lucas nodded and was about to speak. Uncle Jinson suddenly asked: "I heard that your father has been promoted to great swordsman?"
As soon as this problem came out, the atmosphere in the room was a suffocation. Everyone carefully observed Hughes’ expression, intentionally or unintentionally, especially Jinsen. He even looked directly at Hughes, his eyes sharp and extremely powerful. Brewing constantly around him. This made Huston feel a faint pressure. However, Hughes keenly perceives that this pressure is not malicious, but more like a simple fighting spirit and dissatisfaction.
Hughes's smile still faded, even if there was no malice, this behavior was of course impolite. He raised his hand and pressed lightly, beckoning Nalco not to react.
The women were all silenced, and Aunt Alicia, like a man, flashed with excitement in her eyes. Aunt Qili frowned slightly, and she turned her eyes to the old lady. Grandma Lilly's brows were frowning, and after waiting for a moment, she looked at Count Lucas, whose expression was very dull.
With a faint smile in the corner of Hughes' mouth, he deliberately waited for a moment and found that Kimson still maintained that momentum, and finally decided to give the other side an ambiguous statement. Of course he knew that his father was already a great swordsman, but if he said it because of pressure, it seemed to give him the impression of being weak and deceitful. But if you don't say it but just hold it, it seems that you don't have enough respect for the Earl's family.
Thinking of this, Hughes sighed inwardly. Nalco was right. Even if he was a good friend before, the relationship between the two parties will change as the strength and status change. Just like now, this uncle Kingson has begun to use a little means to obtain the information he wants, and he does not care about Hughes's feelings.
With a faint smile on Hughes’s face, he said to Jinsen, whose expression remained the same:
You know my strength, and you can’t tell the level of a senior warrior, even for my father. And, although I heard I heard the news, but it wasn’t told by my father. I don’t know if I should believe it.
Huster intended to increase the word "kiss", and if he was smart enough, he believed that Uncle Kinson had understood the underlying meaning of his words. If the other person’s wisdom doesn’t understand such words, it’s even more of his business. It is impossible for Hughes to speak directly, not even the family of Earl Lucas. He has shown enough respect. If the other party embarrasses him, it is no longer rude, but offensive. I believe Lord Earl will not let this happen.
"Is that so..." Jinsen frowned and glanced at the count, his father said nothing. When he wanted to make further inquiries more clearly, the old lady patted the sofa armrest impatiently, the voice was very small, but Jinsen shrank his neck and immediately swallowed back his words.
After that, everyone did not mention this matter again. The content of the conversation was centered on the anecdote of the college and Wangdu. It was also an eye-opener for Hughes. The atmosphere in the room gradually recovered, and everyone became intimate again.
Lunch was at the Earl of Lucas's house. According to Aunt Alicia, Granny Laili’s craftsmanship is not inferior to that of chefs in high-end restaurants, and the food she produces is delicious and beautiful. However, Hughes had only imagined it in his mind. Grandma Lilly was in her 60s, and it was impossible to cook for Hughes himself. Even if Sister Riley is willing, everyone in the Earl family is willing, and Hughes can't afford such a big gift, and will definitely quit.
Sitting in the carriage of the Huiming Hotel, Hughes leaned against the carriage with his eyes closed, and Nalco sat quietly, frowning slightly, not knowing what to think.
About ten minutes after the carriage left Earl’s Court, Hughes suddenly opened his eyes and asked,
What’s the son of Earl Lucas, Jinson? Why haven’t they been introduced? Also, the Earl’s family has only one son, Kingson. ?"
When he was just sleeping, he had been thinking about some of the situations he had visited before.
Everyone in the Earl of Lucas' family seems to have nothing unusual. The Earl himself has a calm and calm temperament, the old lady is kind and kind, and Alicia is more neutral. Only that Jinsen seemed to be very courageous, and dared to make some tricks in front of his father. You know, the oppressive temptation of guests is generally used for people who are not right with their own homes. And Jinsen used it carelessly on him, without any scruples, until the old lady was dissatisfied to converge this already line-up behavior. For Jinsen itself, he lost the level that a middle-aged noble should have.
Nalco seemed to know that the young master would have this question. Without thinking about it, the answer blurted out: "Jinson has a baron..."
Hughes turned his head. He looked at Nalco and asked in surprise: "He is a baron? Are you kidding! A two-door, even if it is a high rank, a low rank, this is not what the average noble family can have! Lu The Earl of Cass is still alive, and where did Kingson’s title come from? Did he do any great work? By the way, is he in the army, I think his cultivation is very strong!"
