Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1723 Little trouble in the Carpenter family
Carpenter stomped his feet, and asked very anxiously: "Dare to come to me, and only look for me by name... Is there any idiot in my family who is really stupid?"

Russell rolled his eyes helplessly: It's not a family, and if you don't enter a house, those in Carpenter's family are very good at hiding themselves. They like to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and their main thing is vanity.

Therefore, even if Carpenter became an apprentice, the worst way out would be to enter a small town, or marry someone into a mage family. Those high-level members of the Heinelson family would not dare to promote her family members easily.

Although the treatment is good, it is not too flattering.

And the people in his family are of the thin-skinned kind, and if they can't do similar actions, they can only act a little cold and arrogant.

But how to put it, Russell's talent is much better than Carpenter's. Even if he can't become a mage when he is young and promising, it is not impossible...so when the family treats his family, Also very cautious.

With Ulrich standing in front of him, and obviously a little alienated from the family, Heinelsen's patriarch and elders did not dare to create a force that could compete with Ulrich.

After all, Ulrich really did it, took his family and went to Gilbert directly, and never looked back.

But also because of this vague connection, the families of the two of them have not attracted much attention... The Heinelson family is the big one.

Russell shook his head, and asked thoughtfully: "The sense of existence of our two families is actually not very high... Tell me, is it because someone in the family has betrayed, and then, it's because of something related to your family? Do?
If it was really someone from your family, on the contrary, they wouldn't have come to him so directly, would they?
Let other people find a way to say something, and let you run out in a hurry, it's... normal, isn't it? "

Carpenter, who was a little irritable, reacted suddenly: "Tell me, isn't it, my cousin's house?"

"Huh?" Russell didn't understand, "Who? Your cousin, isn't it also my...?"

"Don't you remember? When we entered the apprentice dormitory, there were still a few people in it!" Carpenter frowned and said helplessly, "There is a person in it. It stands to reason that it is my mother's sister and Teddy. Uncle Ville... Do you remember? He and our parents should be a grandpa... child, but, um, only related to me by blood.

So, it's my cousin, nothing to do with you, understand? "

"Oh? Oh..." Russell still didn't understand, "I remember, they should have been intermediate apprentices in that period, right?
As long as you are a mage apprentice, even if your blood relationship with the family is a bit awkward, but as long as your surname is Heinelson, the treatment is not much worse. Why does he hate you?

Is it related to your aunt? "

"My aunt has always been in charge of children and care." Carpenter shook his head, "She is the one who has the qualifications of a mage, but, you also know, my mother and aunt, although it can be said that they are from the mage family...but they are not There is a grandfather with a permanent 2-ring mage, and the family can maintain a decent level, relying entirely on his descendants who basically have some mage qualifications.

Not every branch of the Hynarson family is like ours, always marrying a family that has produced mages.

After coming to the Tower of Black Misty, all the marriages that were started in order to stand firm here, especially the marriages with those apprentice families in the town hall, were actually those branches.

Being able to marry my mother and aunt with our branch is naturally because both of them have shown some attributes of a mage.

Although they can only use magic tricks to place small light balls, they do exist.

So it's not surprising that both my sister and I have the qualifications of mages... On the contrary, it's surprising that my aunt has never had such a child. "

"Oh, by the way, I remembered, that aunt of yours seems to be more than 20 years older than your mother, isn't she?" Russell suddenly remembered... Although their family doesn't like to discuss these gossips, he I still heard that the Tversk family was very dissatisfied with that lady's bloodline because several of their children were not qualified as mages.

Therefore, the fact that Carpenter's mother would marry in later probably had something to do with this rumor... Her mother's family relied on marriage to support themselves!This kind of words really hurt their family a lot.

Carpenter has two older brothers, although their aptitude is not that good...Generally speaking, this refers to magic trick players...But there are indeed, and this matter has not been fermented again.

Then, it seemed that the Tversk family also had a boy who had the qualifications of a mage, and this matter disappeared completely, and no one talked about it anymore.

But again, Carpenter's mother's family refused to send another daughter to be ruined by the Hynarsons.

This makes many members of the Heinelson family feel very sorry. Really, there are not many mage families who are willing to marry a child with mage qualifications to a small town family.

Even if the dowry is very expensive... the mage in the tower of the black fan actually offered a higher price.

But like this, girls with a little blood, but who can't even be apprentices of sorcerers, basically go to be mistresses.

I don't know if Carpenter's mother's family still has some blood ties, or if the grandfather is unwilling to let his face fall to the ground completely. The girls in their family are only married and not sold.

After Carpenter appeared, there seemed to be many people in the Heinelson family who were quite tired of the Tweer family, so even if it was later discovered that the boy was obviously not of family blood, no one made the decision: after all, their family was from outside. In terms of appearance, he has his own characteristics, which is quite different from the locals in the Tower of Black Misty.

There wasn't even a single hair on the boy's face that looked like Heinelson, only a fool couldn't tell.

"Hmm..." Russell belatedly understood the meaning of Carpenter's words, "Your aunt, is your concubine someone from the Tower of Darkness?"

"Can you stop talking so badly?" Carpenter muttered, "What should I do?
He was able to come in and let West pass on a message, it must not be because of the Heinelsen family's ability! "

"West also has a faction." Russell said softly, "He is willing to help spread the word, not necessarily because the opponent's strength can suppress him."

"Huh?" Carpenter understood what he meant. "You mean, just ignore him?"

"West, you're quite flexible." Russell turned around and took Carpenter's arm, and walked quickly to the hall, "Just cut off the connection."

"What if he contacts again?" Carpenter said a little uneasy, "What if his father brought him to our door?
I heard from my mother that auntie, a lover, has a high status. "

"Why do you listen to them?" Russell, who was walking in front, couldn't help but sneer, "Of course your aunt would say that, she's been pissed for so long, and she won't torture the Tver family to death, can she be willing?
Even the family doesn't care about this kind of thing, and Ulrich, who values ​​the family's face so much, didn't say a word. You should know that everyone understands.

They asked for it themselves.

But you should understand that the person she is looking for is definitely not as high as our teacher... strength is indeed useful sometimes, but in front of our teacher's status, strength can also be discounted.

What no one cares about means that it has no effect on the family, whether it is good or bad.

Are you intimidated by your own aunt's bragging?

Eh?By the way, you haven't said yet, why did that cousin of yours bother you?

Your mother is very kind to her sisters! "

"Probably, not reconciled?" Carpenter said a little confused, "Not long after he left the apprentice dormitory, he became an intermediate apprentice.

Hmm... I guess I got a little help from that person, so he seems to think that the family didn't give him what he should.

Especially when my side is getting better and better. "

"He doesn't think his aptitude is similar to yours, does he?" Russell asked bluntly, "You can't become an intermediate apprentice by yourself at the age of 16. What aptitude do you need?"

"Who knew?" Carpenter shrugged, "My aunt is a lazy person, so I don't see him much.

I just can feel that he hates me. He didn't treat me very well during the years in the apprentice dormitory, but I've been following you, and he hasn't directly troubled me. "

Russell suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Did he eat something that suddenly became a middle-level apprentice?
So, what now?Is he a mage? "

"Never heard of it!" Carpenter said with certainty.
