333. Carry out the fool to the end [3rd Update]
After hearing Emily's self-introduction, Sean was not only surprised by the fact that this girl was very easy to fool, but also a little surprised by her family origins.
Nowadays, on the Miracle Continent, there are fewer and fewer aristocratic families with "De" and "Feng" as their intermediate names. Generally speaking, those who will use these two words must be survivors who have experienced the most difficult years of the Ash Age, and the bloodlines of such families are often very high-level bloodlines. Therefore, there will inevitably be some real strong people born in his family, and these strong people are qualified to pass on their names as middle names for generations.
Emily's family, on the other hand, has no other middle name, so there is only one explanation.
The founder of this family was an exiled nobleman.
He must have made such a mistake that he couldn't even use his own family name, let alone those middle names that could be passed on to future generations.
De has the meaning of "of".
Emily's name is actually "Emily of Romers".
If it's Feng, then it's much more interesting: Emily from Romers.
Judging from the meaning of these two ancient middle words, Feng was born earlier than De, so the origin of the family history of those who have the word Feng in their middle names can even be traced back to the end of the Dusk Era. But now, the meaning of these two ancient middle names is to prove the excellence and strength of their family bloodline, nothing more.
And this happens to be the most impossible to fake.
Because according to the ancient laws of nobility, once a family with this middle name has not had a bloodline awakened person for three consecutive generations, then the fourth generation must cancel this middle name. And when was this family able to give birth to three generations of Awakened Beings of the Ancient Bloodline in a row? When will the middle name fΓΉ be restored?
Emily's ability to use this ancient middle name at least means that this is a family with an ancient bloodline awakener. Even if there are no Awakened in this family now. But at least Emily is within three generations, and that can also be used to prove that Emily's bloodline is strong and her potential is great - at least her starting point is much higher than others.
It's a pity not Feng.
Sean thought with some regret in his heart.
If the middle name is Feng. Then its bloodline must have been born from one of the top five bloodlines of the people. After all, in the case of the Ash Era, the inheritance of the power of the bloodline has long been no longer as active as it was at the beginning, and it feels as if the inheritance of the power of the entire world has produced a fault here.
"The middle name is good, and it has been passed down for a long time." Sean smiled, thought about it and decided to use this middle name as a topic entry point, "Has your family been in the Northern Duchy Federation for three generations?" β
Emily's face was shocked.
Others may not quite understand what Sean means by this. But as a descendant of the family, Emily has been instilled with the honor of belonging to the middle name of the family since she was a child, so as soon as she heard Sean's words, she immediately understood what Sean was referring to. She carefully observed Sean's expression, and found that Sean obviously did not mean to ask casually, but obviously had a clear understanding of his middle name.
The ancient law of aristocracy, many nobles often put this sentence on their lips. But in fact, many nobles can't explain or understand what regulations are in this ancient aristocratic law, but Emily knows. Their family has a copy of the ancient rules of nobility, which clearly lists all the "rules of the game" among nobles, which is the glory of Emily's family.
Sean didn't know what thoughts were going through Amis's mind, but he knew. The conversation with my middle name as the entry point is very suitable for pretending to be forced.
It shook the little girl all at once.
"It shouldn't have been three generations yet." Sean said to himself, "But you may be the third generation." β
"Presumptuous!" The god of war knight named Dinny shouted angrily. "The Romes family is free to comment as you like."
Sean didn't speak either, just smiled. But the smile looked a little hateful.
Dinny seemed to be about to say something, but Emily suddenly reached out a hand to stop Dinny. Then he said in a low voice, "Stand down!" β
At this moment, her momentum in the face of Dinny was not the modesty she had when she faced Sean before, but was full of the majesty of a superior person.
Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt that things were starting to get interesting.
"Miss......" Dinny's face changed slightly, he didn't know what he had done wrong.
For this kind of ancient nobles with a long history and origins, they naturally also have a set of means to cultivate knights who are loyal to their families. Tinny is clearly a knight raised by the Romilians family, and this kind of knight values the chivalry of honor and loyalty more than his own life, so that the orders of the people to whom he is loyal are as important as the will of God.
Knights like Dinny are most afraid of following the wrong master.
Luckily, though, the owner Dinny was following, Emily, was apparently a good host.
Emily's face was still calm, seeing that Dinny hadn't retreated yet, she turned her head to look at Dinny, her eyes had become cold, and the momentum of the superior was even stronger. At this moment, Dinny finally lowered his head, and then slowly took three steps back, not daring to look at Emily again, he knew that his master was already a little angry with him.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, for making you laugh." Emily saw Dinny retreat before turning her head to look at Sean again, with a smile on her face.
Sean praised in his heart: worthy of being born in a big family of ancient nobles, this aristocratic etiquette has been taught perfectly, and there is no flaw at all. In fact, Emily's approach is actually saving Dinny, Sean is very clear, the only thing that is not clear is the people around him and Dinny himself. Because at this moment. Emily already thinks of Sean as someone from the same background as herself.
Sean even thought that the other party must have thought that he and the Guardian were separated.
In fact. That's exactly what Emily thought.
Because according to her father, people who have enough knowledge of the middle name "De". It must be a great nobleman of the same origin. And in the Federation of the Northern Duchy, the family with this ancient middle name is only the Romeris family, and there is no other semicolon. So Emily guessed that Sean should be from the Emilia Empire, and if it was the St. Joels Empire, there should be a very strong aura of believers.
"If you go back in time, my generation is indeed the third generation. The Romilis Family...... It was my grandfather who started it. Emily said softly, and the mercenaries around her looked surprised, because they had never seen Emily show such a gentle look, "But...... Your Excellency, you should know that in my generation......"
"Well, it just happens to be the tipping point of the law of nobility." Sean nodded thoughtfully.
Judging by Emily's words, Sean knew that her grandfather was definitely not a bloodline awakener, otherwise he would not have been exiled by his family. And her father's generation, unfortunately, no one has awakened the bloodline. Therefore, whether it can retain the middle name of "De", which is full of honor, depends on Emily's generation. But as far as Emily feels to Sean at the moment, it's very promising, but it's just a bloodline thing. Even the gods didn't dare to boast about their promises, because it was beyond their realm of rules and beyond their control.
"I get the most out of it." Sean nodded. "Then you are obviously pinning your hopes on this God of War ceremony, hoping to activate the bloodline in your body. Right? β
Emily nodded, her face a little helpless.
"Then this time it will ruin your Duchy Parade. Only those who know your family's secret history. Sean frowned slightly, and his face looked a little unpleasant, "It seems that this matter is a bit involved......
"Your Excellency......" Emily said cautiously.
The entire Romes family, in order to keep the honor of "virtue", is already in a bit of a journey at any cost, even if there is only a little hope, the people of the Romes family will not give up. This is also the reason why Emily is so respectful of Sean, her intuition tells her that Sean should be able to help her, and she has always trusted her instincts, at least without this intuition, she would not be where she is today.
"I'm thinking about whether to help you or get out of the way." Sean touched his chin, "Your matter is obviously very wide-ranging, and those idiots in the Northern Duchy Federation don't have such insight." β¦β¦ So ......"
"Your Excellency, what do you need?" Emily gritted her teeth, she was worthy of being a very courageous person, and she just opened her mouth and let Sean make an offer.
"What I need, you may not be able to afford." Sean smiled, then shrugged his shoulders, and if his smile was seen by Enkos, Enkos would have said that it was the most standard devilish smile he had ever seen.
And every time the devil smiles like that, it often means that someone is going to be unlucky.
"If Your Excellency doesn't say it, how do you know if I can afford it?" Emily said in a deep voice, with a stubborn look in her eyes, "Even if I can't afford it, behind me is the Romens family, my father, my grandfather, and my people won't necessarily be unable to give it!" β
By the end, there was already a sense of pride and pride on Emily's face.
But Sean shook his head: "If you can't afford it, your family can't afford it either." β
"Your Excellency, what exactly do you need?" Emily frowned, but her eyes did not flinch in the slightest, "Please say, no matter what the price, I will definitely find a way to get it for you." β
"If I speak, you don't have any choice." Sean said lightly, maintaining a sense of mystery, he has not done it ten times or eight times, and this moment is naturally extremely obvious, "If I speak, then you can only agree, and you have no right to refuse." If you refuse......"
Sean smiled and didn't say anything, he just glanced at everyone around him.
But everyone who was swept by Sean's gaze felt an inexplicable chill.
Emily is not only very bold, but also very agile, and her thinking is very fast, and in an instant she understands what Sean wants: "As long as Your Excellency can awaken my bloodline, then I am Your Excellency's possession." β
"Miss!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Captain!"
Hearing Emily's words, the faces of everyone around him changed instantly, and they let out a chaotic shout.
But Emily just stretched out a hand, and everyone was silent, she just stared at Sean, and then continued word by word: "Whatever you want me to do, I won't frown!" And...... From now on, the only person I believe in will be you! β
Everyone looked into Sean's gaze, and this time it was not as simple as killing intent.
"Just call me Shaun." Sean burst out laughing, not paying any attention to the murderous glances from the guys around him. (To be continued......)
