Chapter 887: Inconspicuous Power
The ultimate power, or the transformative power that has never been seen before, can change the world completely.
In addition to this, some small forces can undeniably influence the world.
However, at the beginning of the influence of these powers, until they were fully condensed into the ultimate power, they were not very conspicuous.
......
About the same time.
The Southern Free Federation, near a bustling city, in a magnificent manor.
In the bedroom, Sherlock sat on a chair, looking at the old man in front of him with a look of disbelief, and said, "Is this true?"
The old man was tall and thin, looked not young, and his eyebrows were thick and grayish-white. Underneath that, a pair of piercing eyes were obscured.
Listening to Sherlock's words, the old man nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, it's true. ”
"Then ......" Sherlock's expression became extremely tangled, trying not to look into the old man's eyes, and muttered, "So, the family has long known that there is something strange about me, and that I have something not quite normal?"
"Yes. The old man said again.
"The blue-skinned mouse ......"
"Yes. ”
"And those bizarre, half-true dreams I had......"
"I know. ”
"I-" Sherlock suddenly didn't know what to say, and at last, he couldn't help but hold his head with both hands, and stepped back from his chair, facing away from the old man, and crouched in the corner.
He wanted to be quiet.
The old man didn't mind at all and continued to sit on the chair in the room, waiting quietly.
After a while, almost enough to put a bored person to sleep, Sherlock suddenly turned around, almost jumped in front of the old man, and asked, "If the family knows all these things, why didn't they tell me earlier?"
"Because it's not time. ”
Sherlock didn't believe it at all: "I'm going to hear the truth." ”
"Okay. The old man spoke slowly, "Actually, the reason why the family didn't tell you these things is because they didn't take a good look at you from the beginning. After all, you have been very naughty since you were a child, your talent is not very good, and you belong to the abandoned children.
Therefore, the family thinks that it is enough for you to spend your life in such a mediocre way. The greatest contribution may be to earn a certain benefit for the family in a marriage and give birth to enough excellent offspring. ”
"Isn't that nice? "That's what I want, how nice it is to eat and die, and have fun every day!" ”
"But—" The old man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, revealing a knife-like gaze, and he exclaimed, "But, that was before. To be precise, a few months ago, we tricked you into coming back and marrying the Kana family, and we still keep this idea.
But later, you regretted your marriage at all costs, and after being punished, you actually did several bold things in the name of compensation, and the situation changed. ”
"Why!" Sherlock said indignantly, "The few things I did were indeed bold, but they all worked well, didn't they?
"That's the problem. The old man sighed and said, "The few things you did were too amazing, and your performance was too good. Not only did you redeem the loss of repentance, but you also let some people in your family see your true ability.
In addition, your brother Ian, after leaving with Master Torre's trial, has been completely uncontactable for so long, and it is likely that something will happen, so the family has begun to reconsider your positioning. Perhaps, you should not be given up and should be valued. That's why I'll tell you some secret truths and let you deal with some of the family's affairs. ”
Sherlock's expression was distorted, and he squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying: "This is a bit unreasonable, you are revenge, I have obviously contributed, but you treat me like this and oppress me......"
"Either way, it's a family decision. The old man stood up suddenly, patted Charlotte on the shoulder, and walked outside, "You think about it, it's best if you can agree." ”
"And what if I don't say yes?" shouted Sherlock, pulling his neck and looking at the old man's back.
"Huh. The old man's voice came, and he said faintly, "You will agree." ”
"I'm ......" room, Sherlock's expression fell.
After a while, Sherlock looked at the wall with a sad face, and asked himself, "Am I so unlucky? Did I do a good deed, or was ......it wrong?" I just want to live my life with ease, and it's really a bit too much for you to think so highly of me. It's too much!"
Suddenly, under the table, a blue figure that looked a little like a mouse came out, looked at Sherlock, grinned, and made a "quack" sound, as if mocking.
Sherlock glanced at it, kicked it angrily, turned his head and threw himself on the bed to the side, and shouted very unceremoniously, "Get out! Don't bother me, I want to be quiet." ”
The blue figure froze, glanced at Sherlock, tilted his head as if in thought. After that, the body twisted slightly, becoming transparent little by little, and melted into the air.
As soon as the blue figure disappeared, Sherlock suddenly jumped out of bed in high spirits, ran to the wooden shelf in the corner, took down a scroll, and opened it to see that it was a map of the main continent.
"Humph!"
Sherlock spoke, his face full of disberehension, looked at the map and said, "You want to take a good look at me, reuse me, and then keep squeezing me? Well, look where to go......"
Sherlock moved his finger on the map, and finally stopped at a point in the territory of the Northern Soma Alliance: "Well, this place is good, there are mountains and rivers, and the name is ......."
......
Soma Union, Faroe City.
This is a medium-sized city in the territory of the Soma Alliance, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. It is not very far from the southern capital of the Soma Alliance, "Char", but there is no hustle and bustle of "Char", and the calm is a little more soothing, which makes the pace of people's lives slow down.
This is recognized as one of the best retirement cities in the Soma Alliance.
Of course, this is for the wealthy nobles, as well as for wizards with extraordinary powers.
Poor civilians don't think about pension, they only think about where their next meal will come from.
At this time, in a quiet alley in the middle of the city, a wizard wearing a black cloak was carefully knocking on a wooden door.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a moment, there was a "squeak", the wooden door opened, and a woman walked out, followed by two girls.
It's the mysterious wizard Cersei, the righteous maiden Nellid, and the cat slave girl Heidi.
