Magic Underachiever

Brothers Brown Jennings and Reed Jennings were lying on the railing of a watchtower, looking at the city of Saroyan at night. Compared to the already lively banquet, the outside of the Governor's Mansion was unusually quiet. The royal musketeers had received the order from the Marquis and had completely sealed off the area around the headquarters. During the banquet, no one is allowed to go out or come in.

As the direct superior officer of this reinforced musketeer battalion, Major Reed was stationed on this guard tower, directing the defense of the Governor's Mansion.

The major gave Brown a cigarette.

Although his eldest brother had only left Fromink's manor for a few days, the major could see that Brown had changed a lot. In fact, the entire Jennings family had undergone earth-shaking mutations.

Baron Jennings was suddenly summoned by the imperial minister Marquis Whitehead, and was inexplicably changed from a baron to a viscount.

He was directly promoted from a lieutenant and company commander to a major, and was also appointed as a regiment leader in an unusual way.

What shocked the whole family even more was... Brown Jennings was actually engaged to the eldest daughter of the Marquis family. The entire Jennings family didn't know when Brown met Miss Anne. When Brown returned home this time, he did not mention anything related to the Whitehead family.

Then things changed, leaving Major Reed even more confused.

He had just taken over the Third Regiment of the 1st Division of the Royal Fusiliers. He had not even finished reading the list of his men when he received another order to move the defense. As the vanguard, the third regiment was the first group to follow Governor Marcellus appointed by the emperor to go to Saroyan City.

And Governor Marcellus is Brown's future father-in-law...the Marquis of Whitehead.

Light a cigarette for Brown, and light one for myself. Major Reed said to Brown: "Father is very worried about you... You must be involved in something big. In the power struggle in the empire, we, a small family, are cannon fodder and scapegoats.

Now the Marquis of Whitehead is the Governor of Marcellus, and his daughter Miss Anne is the Director of the Special Security Service. You are Miss Anne's fiancé, and I am your brother, with a regiment and two thousand guns.

The Jennings family is already tied to the Whitehead family, and if anything happens to the Governor, we will all be implicated. "

Brown also just learned that the Marquis of Whitehead was about to become the Governor of Marcellus, which was the most unlucky official position in the entire empire. Once the Emperor wants to kill Marquis Whitehead, the Jennings family will definitely be the first to be dealt with.

Worried about his family, Brown, who usually does not smoke, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then said: "On this trip back to Saroyan, I encountered a very magical thing.

Maybe it could keep the Jennings family safe.

But you are really too dangerous in Saroyan. After the banquet, I will ask Miss Anne to find a way to transfer you back. You are most like your father and the brave ancestors of the Jennings family. You should inherit the title. "

This was the first time that Brown said that he wanted to give up inheriting the family title. Suddenly, Major Reed was shocked: "How could you have such an idea...Father likes you the most, saying that you are the first in the Jennings family." Smart man, you'll make the Jennings a magical family and stop being called rednecks."

Brown's attitude was very firm: "I just told you, I encountered a magical thing. My life has changed, and I will embark on a path to pursue the highest palace of magic.

I don't know what's on this road, but I know that I will definitely encounter a lot of dangers, and I can no longer bear the burden of my family.

Reed, please forgive my selfishness, the task of protecting the family can only be left to you.

I will ask Miss Anne to arrange your return tomorrow. "

Major Reed said: "Although you are my brother, don't make the decision for me casually. I don't want to be like a deserter who relies on connections to leave the battlefield in despair. I know what the Marcellus Province wants to do, and the entire empire knows it.

The 1st Division of the Royal Fusiliers came to Saroyan to prepare for war. The ancestors of the Jennings family once bled here, and that honor is recorded in the family's history. This time I am here... I will continue to continue this honor here. This land belongs to the empire and no one can take it away! "

Brown wanted to persuade Major Reed again, but at this time, in the distant night sky, signal flares rose one after another...

Master Reed immediately threw away half of the cigarette in his hand and shouted to the imperial soldiers below: "Alert... The Governor ordered that no one is allowed to come near this place from now on, and no one is allowed to leave.

If there is an intruder, no matter who he is... shoot him immediately! "

All the soldiers loaded their bullets and pointed them at the distant night.

After issuing the order, Major Reed said to Brown: "The Governor seems to have arranged a big operation tonight, and it seems that it should start now.

It may not be safe here. Go back to the lobby.

We are guarding the outside and no one can get in. "

Brown knew that he would only be a hindrance here, so he hugged Reed and walked down from the tower.

Flares in the distance frequently rose into the sky, and gunshots were heard.

At this time, the door of the Governor's Mansion is closed, and the atmosphere in the hall is peaceful... No matter what the outcome of Governor Marcellus will be in the future, when Marquis Whitehead officially takes office tomorrow, he will be the most powerful person in the entire Marcellus Province. .

Almost all the guests wanted to meet the future governor, and they came forward to talk to the marquis in order of status. According to the rules of this kind of banquet, each person only had one to two minutes to talk to the governor, and they had to use this time to introduce themselves and use some wonderful ideas to strengthen the governor's impression of themselves.

At this time, Marquis Whitehead's casual response was a great encouragement to these people, as if they saw a bright future for themselves.

When Brown returned to the hall from outside, before he found Anne and Hannah, Marquis Whitehead shouted loudly: "Brown Jennings, my child, come here. Today, you should stand with me...

Anne is my most beloved daughter. I want to see what advantages you have. You actually stole my most precious pearl."

The humor of Marquis Whitehead attracted laughter, and then made the lively banquet quiet. Everyone looked at Brown. Most people were very jealous of this lucky guy. He easily got what most people could not get in their lifetime.

Brown didn't expect that he would suddenly become the focus of the whole banquet. Being watched by everyone like this made him even more nervous than when he first taught a class in front of a room full of students. He didn't know whether to take the left foot or the right foot first.

Fortunately, Anne came over, took Brown's arm, and led him to the Marquis under the gaze of everyone.
