"What do you have to do to believe it?"
Cormac Kenderic is about to collapse. What kind of world is this? He actually asked people to become his disciples. Is this God's punishment for him? Also, he doesn't look wretched. At best, he just has some characteristics.
"Unless you let me become a Talisman Master first, I won't believe you."Gene Mormont said.
"Hmph, you are so scheming. If you don't become a disciple, why should I teach you?"
Cormac Kenderic refuses to do it. He knows that this boy is smarter than a thief. He wants him to teach him without becoming a disciple. After he has learned it, this boy will definitely not admit it. So he must not be led by this boy. Jiang is very old and he doesn't believe that he can't even deal with a boy now.
Gene Mormont shrugged, looked at Cormac Kenderic, and said: "If you want me to become your disciple, you have to show some sincerity. What if I get fooled?"
"you……"
Cormac Kenderic is very frustrated, really frustrated.
Taking a deep breath, Cormac Kenderic suppressed his angry temper and said: "Okay, I will let you become a spiritual talisman master first, but you must also agree to me a condition. My soul is too weak now, you have to give it to me." Don’t worry, I have a little bit of Xuan Qi, it won’t do you any harm. You will recover after breathing and pranayama overnight. Otherwise, I won’t have the strength to teach you to become a Talisman Master, so you can find someone else to teach you. The worst we can do is break up."
Gene Mormont hesitated. When it came to Xuan Qi, he really didn't believe Cormac Kenderic.
But to be honest, Gene Mormont still wanted to become a spiritual talisman master. After thinking about it, he hesitated for a while.
"Okay, I promise you."
Gene Mormont compromised. At this time, he could only gamble once. Who made him really want to become a spiritual talisman master?
"snort!"
Cormac Kenderic snorted coldly and glared at Gene Mormont angrily. He felt that he had suffered a loss today. As the saying goes, old age is hot, but he did not take any advantage at all today. He had the feeling of playing with an eagle all his life, and finally being bitten by a bird. As Cormac Kenderic said, he really just needed Gene Mormont's profound energy. Under Cormac Kenderic's instructions, Gene Mormont directly injected profound energy into the small tower, and then a dazzling light flashed out from the small tower, and an ancient aura spread out.
Gene Mormont was surprised. He remembered that he had tried to inject profound energy into the small tower last time, but at that time there was no reaction at all from the small tower.
When the profound energy on Gene Mormont's body felt like it was exhausted, Cormac Kenderic, who had already entered the small tower again, spoke out and said to Gene Mormont: "The profound energy on this kid's body is even purer than I imagined. More or less, it’s almost enough. If you continue to consume it, it will be a little harmful to your future cultivation. Wait for me to recover for three days. After three days, I will teach you to become a spiritual talisman master. Within these three days, you will also Go prepare some materials, and remember, don’t let anyone know my existence, including your closest relatives.”
Then Cormac Kenderic and Gene Mormont talked about a long list of names of elixirs, many of which Gene Mormont had never even heard of.
A lot of the profound energy was taken away by Cormac Kenderic, and Gene Mormont also urgently needed to breathe and regulate his breathing to recover. After writing down the list, he sat cross-legged on the bed and started to regulate his breathing and recover using the golden-winged roc's cultivation method.
The next morning, in the shadow of the morning sun and in the morning mist, Shicheng awakened to life.
Outside the Mormont family, there was a lot of excitement. Ye Baolin, the lord of Shicheng City, personally visited the Mormont family with his beloved daughter, saying that he wanted to thank Gene Mormont , the young master of the Mormont family , for rescuing his beloved daughter Ye Zijin in the Wudu Mountains.
When the news came out, it immediately spread throughout Shicheng. As a person in Shicheng, there would definitely be no one who didn't know about the Ingalls family.
Speaking of the five major families in Shicheng, no matter how many overt and covert struggles other families have fought over the years, no one would think that any family can be stronger than the Ingalls family, not even the Mormont family, which has become more and more popular recently.
The reason is that the Ingalls family has controlled Shicheng for five generations. The five consecutive lords of Shicheng have been members of the Ingalls family. This alone is enough to explain everything. the Ingalls family has always been the unshakable first family among the five major families. .
It is said that there is only one month to go before the three-year competition between the younger generations of the five major families in Shicheng. At this time, the city lord goes to the Mormont family in person to visit a descendant of the Mormont family. This makes people who are interested can't help but have some thoughts in their hearts.
In the early morning, when Gene Mormont closed his handprints and stopped breathing, he already felt someone outside the courtyard.
Gene Mormont walked out of the courtyard, and what came was a smart young man dressed as a servant.
The young man was extremely polite and respectful to Gene Mormont. When they met, he introduced himself and said that Forester Mormont, the manager of the backyard, had been severely punished by the manager of the front yard for not doing things well and lining his own pockets. At the same time, he would be the manager of the backyard from now on. , ready to listen to Gene Mormont's arrangements.
Gene Mormont nodded and had seen this person before. He was the son of an old servant of the Mormont family. He had lived in the Mormont family since he was a child, but he had no impression of him. However, regarding Uncle Lin's work efficiency and employment, I really sighed in my heart. As expected of an old man of the Mormont family family, and a person whom the uncle also valued, he arranged for a person who is usually not very eye-catching to be the general manager of the backyard. I am afraid it was because of his own reasons. .
From this young man's mouth, Gene Mormont knew about the City Lord's arrival. After asking about the general reason, he couldn't help but frown.
The drunkard's father was not in the room. After washing up, Gene Mormont had no choice but to go to the lobby.
When Gene Mormont arrived at the hall, many people were already sitting in the spacious hall. In some of the upper seats, Gene Mormont saw his eldest uncle Einar Mormont, his second uncle Zveka Mormont, and several other elders who were rarely seen in the Du family.
These elders in the Du family are rarely seen, but their status is very high, and sometimes they are not even under the clan leader.
When the uncle and others were sitting down, there were also many elders sitting with them, as well as many outstanding young people from the clan, including Du Yu and Abbyabbie Mormont.
However, Gene Mormont did not see Du Hao, Ghilan Mormont and others. He was probably injured too badly yesterday and would not be able to see anyone today. Otherwise, they would naturally have to attend such an important occasion.
When Gene Mormont stepped into the hall, he immediately felt a lot of unkind eyes. It seemed that many elders of the Mormont family were gnashing their teeth and looking at him, but they could only hold back.
On the other side of the hall, Gene Mormont saw a lot of strangers. The first one was a heroic middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a long robe and had a smile on his face. He looked extremely talkative and had an air of calmness and authority. temperament.
"Has great strength."
This is Gene Mormont feeling about the heroic middle-aged man. In the heroic middle-aged man, Gene Mormont felt a different aura from his uncle Einar Mormont. This aura was not as strong as the aura on his uncle's body, and seemed a bit lighter.
But his intuition told Gene Mormont that this gentle aura was even stronger than the uncle's.
"Is this the Lord of Shicheng City, Ye Baolin?"
Gene Mormont raised his head and looked at the heroic middle-aged man. He had heard of the name of Shicheng City Lord Ye Baolin, but he had never seen it. He heard that the City Lord was coming this time. There was no doubt that the one sitting at the top was the City Lord.
When he was very young, Gene Mormont had read a lot of books under the tutelage of the Mormont family family private school teacher, and had heard a lot about the outside world. Shicheng was just a border city of the empire. There were counties on the city. There are mansions above the county, and those above the first mansion are under the direct control of the empire. It is rumored that the owners of the first mansion are the beings who have been granted lordships and worshiped the king, and they are all powerful men with great reputations.
Of course, there are many empires on this continent, and they often fight with each other, often with countless casualties. Fortunately, Shicheng is a border city and has no borders with other empires. We usually don’t see those imperial armies fighting. It can be regarded as a paradise-like existence.
And when his eyes fell on a young girl next to the heroic middle-aged man, Gene Mormont eyes moved slightly. He was a little surprised just now. When did he save the city lord's daughter? It turned out that he was the city lord's daughter.
Gene Mormont then took a serious look at the young girl. After careful inspection, he found that her appearance was really good. She was no worse than Daphne from the Xuanfu Sect, and could even be compared with the well-dressed woman that he had robbed.
But if we insist on comparing the two, the two temperaments are different. The woman in the well-dressed outfit is noble and tall, but the girl in front of her is a bit more cool.
"I've met my uncle, my second uncle, and all the clan elders."
Gene Mormont's inspection was also done at a glance. It seemed that the visitor from the Ingalls family had been chatting with the uncle for a long time, and quickly walked in front of the uncle, the second uncle, and the elders of the clan. A gift, as for those so-called elders of the Mormont family, Gene Mormont ignored them.
"Gene, let me introduce you. This is Lord Ye City. Please bow quickly. As for Lord Ye City's daughter, Miss Zijin, I think you already know her."Einar Mormont introduced Gene Mormont with a smile.
"I've met Lord Ye City."Gene Mormont heard this and realized that his guess was correct. The heroic middle-aged man was Ye Baolin, the Lord of Stone City, and he immediately bowed.
"Nephew, you don't need to be so polite. City Lord, just call me Uncle Ye. I'm here specifically to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Zijin would be in danger now. He's such a young hero. I, Shi Cheng, An incredible talent has emerged.”
Ye Baolin looked at Gene Mormont and smiled slightly. It was obvious that he was really grateful. Then he waved his hand. Behind him was a man dressed in armor and dressed like a soldier. He walked forward and held a man who was three feet long. The brocade box was handed to Gene Mormont.
Ye Baolin smiled at Gene Mormont, motioned to Gene Mormont brocade box, and said: "Gene's wise nephew, accept it. This is the 'Mo Ling Sword' collected by my the Ingalls family. Although it does not represent the value of Zi Jin in my heart, But it should be my little wish."
