Chapter 3 Chapter Two

The day of triumph. Contrary to the boiling atmosphere in the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital, the Earl's Mansion was completely silent. There is no grand banquet, no celebration ceremony, not even a simple reception. After leaving the pier, even the prepared 1,000 soldiers from the expeditionary fleet entered the city to welcome the citizens to review. Only the deputy was left to sit in charge. After the Earl hurried back to the mansion, he declined some orders. visitor.The excuse to the outside world is: the Earl, who has been in the army for several years, needs some private time to soothe the lonely soul of his beloved wife at home.

Although it disappointed many people who had painstakingly prepared to flatter the new hero of the empire, this high-sounding excuse immediately gained everyone's support. At this moment, in the mansion of the Earl's Mansion, the triumphant hero of the Imperial Navy is looking at his own son. His gaze was deep, melancholy, and complex. If it wasn't for his firm belief in his wife's integrity... Earl Raymond's first reaction when he saw the child in front of him was: Is this really what he planted? Because the child's appearance is very different from his own! The men of the Luo Lin family have always been famous for their majestic and majestic image!The standard image of a man in the Luo Lin family should be tall and burly, with a broad chest, thick arms, a square face, a straight nose, and a heroic man!

At least Earl Raymond himself is like this.He is tall and tall, and his appearance is extremely outstanding in the imperial aristocratic circle. When he was young, he was a well-known great man in the imperial aristocratic circle. But this little guy in front of him... Although he is only three years old, he is too fair and thin for the Luo Lin family, which has always been famous for producing tough men... Well... I heard that this child had a serious illness a month ago, maybe It must be because of this that his body is weaker. The three-year-old future heir to the earl, Duwei Rollins, looked at his father indifferently.He did not cry loudly and powerfully like a child of his age, which made the Earl very dissatisfied.According to tradition, the louder the child who cries, the stronger he is!

The child in front of him was a little too quiet. He sat on the bed with his hands on his knees, and looked up at himself, as if curious and scrutinizing. The Earl thought that he must have read it wrong. How could there be such complicated emotions in the eyes of a three-year-old child? ! While the Earl was depressed, Duwei Rollin's mood was undoubtedly more complicated than his. The beautiful and mature countess, with her loving mother's heart and those actions a month ago, has successfully softened Du Wei's heart. But this "father" who jumped out suddenly... Hmph, where did he come from!

"He... really can't talk yet?" The Earl's expression was very serious, and he glanced at his wife beside him. Only when he saw the tears in his wife's eyes, his heart softened. He remembered that he had gone to sea for three years. I have neglected the wife at home, even when a woman is in labor and needs her husband's comfort the most, I can't be by her side, and the only son has become like this, we can't blame this poor woman, the tone can't help but be soft A little bit: "Okay, my dear, the child can't speak. We invite the most knowledgeable teacher in the empire to teach him, and he will always speak. It's just that his body is too weak. Our Luo Lin family has always been distinguished by martial arts. Based on the empire, my son will naturally inherit my path in the future and become an imperial general. It is not good to be so weak... well, he is already three years old, and I think it is time to consider finding him an enlightenment teacher Well, the weak body will naturally become stronger after a few years of practice... How do you think Alpha? He is my most loyal bodyguard, with high martial arts skills and loyalty to the family. I think starting from next month, you can Let Alpha begin to teach Du Wei some basic exercise methods."

Hearing that her poor son was going to be trained at such a young age, the Countess couldn't help but shed tears from her beautiful eyes: "But...he is still so young." "It's because his body is too weak, so we need to train his body earlier! Otherwise, how can we inherit the martial arts of our Luo Lin family!" The earl, who has been in the army for many years, is very firm on this point, and he will do it with a wave of his hand. A decision was made. The next day, after meeting His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, and accepting the third Imperial First-Class Medal of Valor personally awarded by His Majesty at the celebration ceremony, His Majesty the Emperor announced in public that the distinguished Earl Raymond would be promoted to Imperial Leader of the Vice President of the High Command, this is already the number two of the imperial military ministers.

After talking with His Majesty the Emperor in a separate room for a while, Earl Raymond offered to remove his title of first-class general of the Imperial Navy and hand over his military power. After coming out of the palace, he once again rejected the congratulations of his colleagues. There were countless invitations to banquets, and even the invitations of several great teachers of the Temple of the Goddess of Light declined politely before rushing back home. It was no secret in the imperial capital that the son of Earl Raymond of the Rollins family was an idiot. Seeing the hint of melancholy on the earl's face even at the honor ceremony, many colleagues who are friendly with the Luo Lin family can't help but feel a little sympathy for him. Of course, some political opponents secretly gloat, too. Inevitably.

At home, the Earl faced his son again. The difference was that there was no beautiful Countess by his side. Standing beside him was Alpha, the loyal head of the bodyguard who had followed him for nearly twenty years. , a first-class swordsman of the empire, with a "flowing flame sword", is recognized as one of the top few sword masters in the imperial capital. For some reason, Earl Raymond always felt that he didn't like his son a little bit. He felt that the child's eyes towards him were not simply indifferent, but there seemed to be a hint of resistance.But he also felt that he might be thinking too much: what can a three-year-old child know?Moreover, I was on an expedition, and I have never hugged my child once since it was born, so it is only natural that I am unfamiliar with myself.

The chief guard first knelt down in front of Du Wei's bed with a standard etiquette of a family official, then hugged Du Wei with both hands, took off all his clothes, and meticulously wiped Du Wei's whole body from head to toe with one hand. I pinched it all the way to the foot.During this process, Du Wei struggled. He seemed very unaccustomed to being touched by a man like this, but the power of the first-class swordsman of the empire was not something he could resist. "Huh..." Alpha's expression was very serious. He sighed, put down the earl's heir, bowed his head to salute the earl, and then stood up, saying in a deep voice, "Lord earl, I..."

"Alpha, you are the most trusted person around me, don't worry too much, just tell me what you have." The earl sighed. "Master Du Wei's body is very weak, and he seems to be... congenitally deficient. His bones are slender, and his heartbeat is mottled. This kind of physique is a little worse than ordinary people. If you want to learn martial arts in the future, I'm afraid..." Alpha bit He gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid there won't be much success." "Then what do you think?" "I don't think learning martial arts is a good choice for the young master. Let's see if he has any talents in other fields."

After Alpha's chief guard finished speaking, the Earl's expression darkened.
