Chapter 130: The Ferellen Family
The injury to his arm did not affect Earl Grant's power in the family.
Indeed, eating with the left hand is a bit unfamiliar to the count.
But he still calmly chewed the meat of the magic-maned deer and dipped it in the precious caviar from the far south.
The meat slices of the low-level Warcraft Mane Deer were only cooked halfway, with traces of blood seeping out from the meat slices.
Earl Grant liked this kind of food with a faint smell of blood.
Including his second son Sauron, he was also deeply influenced by it and liked such food very much.
Thain also tasted it at the table. Although he didn't like this kind of food that was not completely roasted, he didn't reject it either.
Earl Grant eats a lot at each meal, but he eats quickly.
When Thane picked up the final juice for gargling, Earl Grant also swallowed the last piece of steak.
The Earl doesn't seem to like juice, and he prefers energy-rich sweet soup as the end of his dinner.
Under the service of the maid next to him, a large bowl of pure white sweet soup was brought to the earl.
The count did not drink them immediately, but took a silver knife and fork and tapped the dinner plate, attracting the attention of several people at the dinner table.
"Two days later, I will lead Grant's army to the Western Front."
"Sauron will come with me when the time comes. As you say, Thane..." the earl pondered.
"My experiment is at a critical stage. Especially today, there has been another major breakthrough." Thain replied in a normal tone.
At first, Thain was dissatisfied with the Count's forcible interruption of his experimental process.
However, Thain's mood calmed down when he saw that the count was injured and that his reckless behavior seemed to bring new parameters to his experiment.
Facing Thain's answer, the Earl nodded and said, "Then you can continue to stay in the castle. I will keep John. If you need anything, just tell him directly."
The count forced Thain to come out today mainly to talk about this matter.
After all, the war is about to affect the Lycian Alliance. No one can tell how long this war will last.
It's okay if the time is short, but if the time is long and lasts for several years, maybe the father and son may not be able to see each other several times in the future.
Earl Grant originally wanted Thane to follow him to the front line to fight.
During the Three Kingdoms War, a large number of magicians served. These magicians were generally between low-level apprentices and mid-level apprentices.
Senior apprentices are already rare among them, and they are the objects of protection of all major legions.
As for quasi-magician-level powerhouses, like quasi-knights like Grant, they rarely personally intervene in wars. They play more of a commanding role.
Of course, in rare cases, strong men of this level will take action.
Although he had originally wanted to let Thain go to the front line with him, Earl Grant was more concerned about Thain's own thoughts.
Including the promotion of magicians and knights, it is different in itself.
Knights need to be tempered by war and blood and fire in order to continuously break through their own limits and reach higher realms.
By conducting research in the laboratory, magicians can transform and improve their spiritual power and complete the sublimation of their life levels.
If Thane's experiment really reached a critical stage, there was really no need for him to go all the way to the front line.
Not to mention, after arriving at the front line, the noisy and chaotic environment was not suitable for Thain's magic research.
He was not a registered magician of the Lycian Alliance military, so why did he join in the fun? The military didn't give him any allowance.
All he spent during this period was his own and the earl's wealth.
After determining the issue of Thain's stay, the earl mentioned Thain's mother's family.
Earl Grant was a straightforward man who seldom said nonsense, even at the dinner table.
Thain's mother's family is called the Ferelen family, a baron family in the south-central part of the Lycian Union.
On the territorial map, there is a certain border with Grant Territory.
The Ferelen family is a magical family. Their ancestors were once glorious and seemed to have given birth to first-level magicians.
But starting hundreds of years ago, this family declined.
Not only did the noble title drop to baron, but even the territory could not be compared with that of a large family like the Grant family.
But after all, it is a family that has been glorious for its ancestors, and the Ferelen family has a pretty good foundation.
Among the barons of the Lycian Alliance, the Ferelen family can be considered to be at the forefront.
Especially since this family currently has several magic apprentices of high rank, the strongest among them has also reached the level of quasi-magician.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the Grant family agreed to the marriage between the current earl and the deceased Lady Catherine.
Through the earl's mouth, Thain learned that although his mother Kathleen was also a magic apprentice, she seemed to have no talent.
not tall.
Until his death, he was just a low-level magic apprentice, and he still mastered water magic and light magic that were not good at fighting.
Since Lady Catherine's death and Earl Grant's new marriage.
The intersection between the Grant family and the Ferrelan family has gradually faded away.
Although Mrs. Catherine's father, Thain's grandfather, is still alive, he is just an ordinary person.
The next thing Earl Grant wants to tell Thain is that Thain's grandfather and the Ferelen family may come to the castle to visit Thain in the future.
No matter what, Sean also has the blood of the Ferellen family.
Especially the Ferellen family didn't know where to find out that Sean already has the strength of a senior apprentice, which is why they took the initiative to come to the door.
Let Sean recognize the blood relationship of the Ferellen family, which is just one of them.
More importantly, with a senior apprentice like Sean as a family member, the strength and foundation of the Ferellen family in the Lycian Alliance can also be increased.
As for further contact, especially involving the exchange of interests, the Ferellen family has not mentioned it yet.
After all, Sean's last name is Grant, not Ferellen.
Although his mother Catherine is also one of the main branches of the Ferellen family, it seems that her line has not produced any outstanding magic apprentices.
With the death of Catherine, the status and influence of Sean's grandfather's branch in the Ferellen family have also been reduced.
After briefly mentioning the situation of the Ferellen family and the situation of Sean's grandfather's branch,
Count Grant pondered for a moment, and finally said to Sean: "I didn't tell anyone that you have a formal magician as your mentor, nor did I tell you that you will go to the Azure Source Holy Tower to study."
"When your grandfather and others come, I hope you don't expose this matter to them casually."
"Although I am closer to your mother and your grandfather's branch, the situation of the Feleron family is much more complicated than our Grant family."
"Including the current leaders, it is also the main branches of several other branches."
"I don't want the Feleron family to hinder your growth, do you understand?" Count Grant said, looking into Sean's eyes.
After carefully savoring the word "drag" said by the earl, Sean did not say anything.
