"Oh." Lucius nodded, then froze.
"What did you just say?" He raised his head, stared at Orson, and asked word by word.
Orson repeated what he just said.
Lucius stood up suddenly, startling Orson.
"Is this true?"
"Yeah." Orson nodded. "Today I took Li Teuk to the mountain forest and left him alone there, just to see if he could explode in a desperate situation."
"Then, as expected, he exploded and killed the third-level wolf king."
Lucius's hands were trembling slightly. He sat down excitedly, and then showed a happy smile.
"Okay, Orson, you did a good job."
"It's profitable
Well done Te, he lived up to our expectations. Orson also smiled. "In this way, it will be much easier for Leeteuk to pass the entrance test of Imperial College. The next step is to see what ranking Leeteuk can get in the qualifying competition." "
The so-called qualifying competition refers to the 800 students who passed the entrance test and the 200 students recommended by the nobles, a total of 1,000 people. According to the ranking, low-ranking students can challenge high-ranking students. If the other party does not accept it, the rankings of both parties will be swapped.
Each student has a total of three opportunities to challenge high-ranking students. The qualifying competition will begin on the second day after the entrance test results are released. All students must be present at that time, otherwise they will be deemed to have given up their admission qualifications.
"In terms of qualifying, based on the strength that Li Te has shown now, it should be at least the upper-middle level." Orson thought for a while and then said.
Now the development of the plot has gradually deviated from the original track, and even Orson himself has begun to wonder where the future will go.
They say the butterfly effect, but Orson's is beyond the scope of the butterfly effect. It can basically be said to have changed the entire world line.
I hope that the world line will not converge on me in the future.
Otherwise, after all the hard work I have done, I still end up dead. That would be too much of a clown.
"Orson." Lucius looked at Orson and said, "Although I don't know what your ambition is, but even if you are unwilling to inherit the position of Duke, I hope you will not announce that you have withdrawn from the inheritance matter. "
Lucius's words are not unreasonable, because Little currently does not have the reputation to be the heir to the Stranik family. If Orson renounces his inheritance rights at this time, it is difficult not to make people wonder whether there is some conspiracy within the family.
This is bad for the entire family's reputation.
By then, it is more likely that someone with ulterior motives will use the news that Orson gave up his inheritance rights to attack the family.
"I know, Father." Orson nodded. He naturally knew this, otherwise he would have announced the news directly at the beginning of the family gathering.
"You are a smart boy, and you are also the proudest child of my old bones." Lucius said with relief when Orson nodded. "Although I feel deeply indebted to Li Te, I have never regretted exchanging you with Li Te."
"No matter what, you and Li Teuk are my good children."
"Thank you for taking care of Lite. Next, think more about yourself and what you really want."
"If you need any help, just ask the family. If you figure it out and think you still want to inherit my position, I will still let you compete fairly with Lite."
Originally, Lucius still traditionally believed that blood is the bond that maintains aristocratic family ties, but after seeing Orson and Lit, his view changed.
At least, with Orson, he didn't have to do what he did with his adopted son.
No matter what outsiders say, Orson is his biological son.
"Thank you very much, Father." Orson bowed his head and thanked him.
Chapter 26: Omrit
"By the way, Orson." Lucius only realized something at this time. "Did you just say that there are third-level beasts in the nearby mountains and forests?"
"Ah, yes." Orson also remembered, "Actually, there is another reason why I came to see you, father, this time, and that is to ask about this matter."
"Father, you used to organize troops to go into the mountains and forests every year to eliminate wild beasts. However, in that mountain forest not far from Antica City, third-level beasts appeared. I wonder if you know about this, father?"
"I really don't know, maybe I missed it before..." Lucius said, patted his head, and then looked up at Orson. "Well, Orson, tomorrow you will bring a group of troops into the mountains and forests to encircle and suppress them. You must eradicate the beasts before they cause harm to the people."
He then handed Orson the token to summon the army.
"I know, I will obey the order." Orson said, took the token, bowed respectfully, and then exited the room.
After leaving Lucius's room, Orson was approached by Mary's servant Randall.
"Master Orson, Madam is looking for you." Randall said, pointing to Mary's study.
"Okay." Orson nodded, and then he and Randall came to the door of the study. Then, Randall took the initiative to open the door for Orson.
"Please come in, Master Orson. Madam has been waiting for a long time."
"Yeah." Orson nodded, and then walked into the study.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Orson asked, looking at Mary who was facing away from him and looking out the window.
"Well, you go back today
I came quite late. I heard that you and Li Teuk went out together? "
"I took Lite to play in the nearby mountains and forests."
"I'm afraid it's more than just playing, right?" Mary turned back and stared at Orson. "I saw that when Li Te came back, he was covered in blood and his clothes were torn. Do you call this playing?"
"Besides, as a mother, is it too much for me to care about my own children? Orson, why did you hide it from me?"
"..." Orson lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry, Lite is actually fine. In order not to worry Mother, I made up this lie and asked Mother to punish me."
"Punishment?" Mary smiled. "How can I bear to punish my beloved son?"
"Besides, do you think it's enough for me to punish you now?" Mary turned around, walked forward, and stared at Orson.
She glanced at the token held in Orson's hand.
"You are now the eldest young master who has gained the trust of the Duke of Antica and has control of the military. I am just a defenseless and weak woman. Do you think that if I should be punished, should I punish you or you punish me?"
"Mother, stop joking, no matter what, I am your son."
"At this time, do you remember that you are my son?" Mary stared at Orson. "Orson, Orson, I thought you were a smart man, but after talking to you that day, I thought I was wrong."
"Now it seems that I was stupid, and you are far smarter than I thought."
"By gaining the trust of the master and Leeteuk, you will gradually gain control of the family power, and finally let Leeteuk become your puppet and be controlled by you, right?"
Mary laughed.
"Oh, it seems that when you do these things, you don't need me at all. I wonder why you don't want to cooperate with me."
"Mother, please calm down. I didn't deceive anyone. I really don't want to inherit the position of Duke, so I promised my father to help him train Li Te..."
"Orson, don't you understand what I mean?" Mary took a few steps back and looked at Orson.
"I can help you achieve your goals as soon as possible, as long as you cooperate with me..."
"Mother, I have something else to do. I have to lead a team to eliminate wild beasts tomorrow. I'll take my leave now." As he said this, he bowed and walked to the door.
When he reached the door, he paused, then looked back at Mary and said, "Mother, if that's what you want, why don't you consider helping Lite?"
Then he opened the door and walked out.
Mary stood there alone and silent.
"Master Orson, please walk slowly." At the door, Randall saw Orson coming out and saluted him.
"Well, Uncle Randall, my mother seems to be in a bad mental state recently. Please take good care of my mother." Orson said this and returned to his room.
Randall was also stunned, staring at Orson's back in surprise for a few seconds, and then he walked into Mary's study.
…
The bathroom in Li Teuk's room was filled with mist at the moment.
Only here would Leeteuk let go of all his defenses and enjoy the leisurely time in the bath with peace of mind.
The area on the chest that had been wrapped in cloth was also freed, and it felt much more relaxed.
Leeteuk sat in the bathroom hugging his knees, burying half of his face in the water, thinking deeply.
At this moment, his limbs were still aching. Although the healing potion could heal his wounds, it did not mean that he was cured.
Fortunately, soaking in hot water can relieve this pain.
The power that I burst out in a desperate situation today was something I had never mastered before, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that the moves I used were all taught to me by Orson.
Lite remembered all the memories of that incident. She didn't know why she became so crazy and powerful.
She only knew that during that period, she just wanted to kill all the enemies within sight.
Because they want to hurt themselves.
Later, during the conversation with Orson, Lite also remembered it, and she regretted how she could be so rude to Orson.
After saying such hurtful words, Brother Orson probably doesn't like him anymore. Even if that's not the case, there may have been a crack in the relationship between the two.
At this moment, Li Teuk felt a strange voice begin to whisper in his heart.
"Li Teuk, do you want to know what happened today?"
"Huh? You are
who? "Li Teuk looked around in surprise, but didn't find anyone.
"Don't worry, Li Teuk, I am you and you are me."
"I was born from your subconscious, and you wanted to protect your personality."
"You can call me Omrit." That voice was no different from Lit's own voice, but the tone was colder.
"Did you save me today?" Lite asked.
"Yes." Omrit said. "Actually, your talent has always been good, but in your heart you have always hoped to continue the close relationship between teacher and student. That's why your personality, that is, you, behave so incompetently."
"And the moves you learned and the improvements you gained were all learned by me. Therefore, at that time, I appeared and helped you defeat that beast."
Chapter 27: I want to be like you
"Thank you." Li Teuk said, and then she gave her character a nickname. "Xiao An."
"Xiao An? Are you calling me?"
"Well, I always feel that calling you Anlit is a bit weird, don't you like it?" Lit asked.
"It's okay, call me whatever you want, anyway, you and I are one." Xiao An said this and mentioned another thing.
"By the way, Lit, remember, be careful of Orson in the future."
"Huh? Brother Orson!?" Lit said in surprise. "Why should we be careful of him?"
"Don't you know? The reason you are like this today is all because of Orson?"
"..." Litt was silent for a while, and then said: "Orson, he should be doing this for me, right?"
"Yes, judging from the results, you did complete the trial, but you almost died there."
"And apart from anything else, is there really someone who is unconditionally good to others right from the start? You and Orson have only known each other for a short time, why would he help you so much?"
"Then, Orson is very dangerous, he is very strong, so strong that even now I can't guarantee that I can escape from him when he is hostile to you."
"So, once Orson turns against you, you have no hope of survival at all, do you understand?"
"Orson won't." Litt said in silence.
"It's not that he will or won't, but you have to consider your own safety now."
"I said, brother Orson won't!" Litt's voice suddenly became louder, and at this moment, even Xiao An couldn't continue to talk about this topic.
"Okay, okay, if you think so, then so be it." Xiao An sighed. "But I want to make one thing clear to you. You and I are one. We can't have a conflict of interest. Everything I do is for your own good."
"So, in the future, you can stop doubting my decisions, okay?"
"Yeah." Li Te nodded. "As long as Xiao An doesn't say bad things about Orson."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Xiao An said so, and then added: "By the way, because I used the strength of the third level, you should also have these in your memory now, that is to say, you are now a third-level warrior and a third-level magician at the same time."
"I will remain dormant until you are in danger or mentally unstable, so it depends on you next."
After that, Xiao An's voice disappeared.
Li Te took a long bath in the bathtub again, and then got up.
After washing and drying the cloth strips used to wrap her chest with simple magic, she began to wrap them around her chest again.
