This ability was named Time Stagnation by Duke.
Of course, this is not really time static, but during its duration, it can provide Duke with an extreme speed explosion and subjective time expansion.
As for the duration, it takes three seconds.
This is the three seconds that belonged to Duke, and in the eyes of others, it is just a moment.
Duke vaguely felt that if the time static ability is used repeatedly, it is likely to be improved, such as the duration to five seconds, ten seconds, etc.
But time is not unlimited. The reason why Duke's face was pale was not because he was frightened, but because he was tired after using his ability several times.
Duke secretly set a goal and should use it once a day at least every day to stop.
After the assassination last night, he felt even more urgency. If he could escape one assassination, he might not be able to escape the second time.
Duke knew very well that the assassination was definitely done by the "personal people" in this family. Even if Elvis Castle has strong defense, it cannot be stopped. After all, it is difficult to defend against the thief of the family.
Duke even doubted whether it was done by the eldest uncle Barritt, and then a thief called to catch the thief - he now saw that the dog in his second uncle's house looked like a murderer.
Duke began to calculate his assets.
In the City of Dawn, people use a currency called Dawn Coin issued by the city hall, major families and enterprises.
It has high credibility and strong purchasing power.
You can buy a pound of mutant wild boar meat for one dollar.
Currently, Duke has more than 3,000 yuan in his hands, which is the pocket money Casey gave him before.
Three thousand yuan may be a big deal for ordinary people, but it is still too little for Duke.
Saving money may allow you to live in Shuguang City for a year, but that doesn't make sense.
Besides, if you really take these three thousand dollars out, it is still a question whether you can live until one year later.
Apart from the three thousand dollars, he was left with only a few clothes and a revolver.
As a direct descendant of the Elvis family, this is indeed a bit too poor.
Duke shook his head helplessly.
We need to study the ways to make money.
If he could afford to hire a Templar guardian, then what kind of assassins would he be afraid of? He would just make it into a sieve!
While Duke was thinking, Grand Boss Barritt came.
"Uncle."
In public, Duke calls Barritt the Earl, and in private, he calls the uncle. This uncle also likes this title.
"Well, I'm here to talk to you about your identity."
Barrit said straight to the point.
"identity?"
Duke was stunned. He thought it was the assassin's business.
"Yes, although you are the direct descendant of our Elvis family, you were wandering outside before. After all, this time you returned to the family is naturally not a trivial matter. You need a formal ritual process. You have been returning to the family for so long..."
Barrit explained with a little headache.
This matter should have been done long ago, but Duke was dementia before. If he made a fool of himself at the ceremony, he would be blind.
Just as he was trying to figure it out, Duke suddenly died, and suddenly disrupted the plan.
Not to mention, Duke crawled out of the coffin again at the funeral...
These days, he can be said to be the busiest person in the Elvis family.
Now there is an assassination incident...
Barritt was very tired.
He wanted to get things done quickly so that he would not cause any more trouble.
"That's the case, then I'll trouble you, please."
Duke said respectfully.
"Very good, then let's go tomorrow, just be there on time tomorrow."
"yes."
After Barritt left, Duke called Alyssa.
"Master Duke."
Alyssa said warmly.
"Do you know the ceremony of returning to the family? Is it complicated?"
Duke frowned.
"These things are all in the "Elvis Servant Manual". Master Duke, please rest assured, I will prepare them for you."
"That's good, thank you."
Duke breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid of such cumbersome things.
No words all night.
Duke slept well that night. After all, the family transferred a team of ten people fully armed to protect him around his room. These people were wilderness teams trained by the Elvis family. It is said that there were awakened people inside, and they were powerful.
The next morning, Alisa came to ask Duke to get up and then helped him put on a luxurious dress.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking at the handsome and upright man inside, Duke blinked.
"I always feel that it's a bit bad..."
"It's already very good, Master."
Alisa lowered her eyes, she didn't dare to look directly at Duke, because when she saw him, Alisa felt her heart beating a little faster.
It has nothing to do with love, it is a natural reaction to beautiful things.
Duke looked in the mirror for a while, and after confirming that there were no blind spots, he led him to the castle conference hall under Alisa.
There were about twenty or thirty people in the hall, all of whom were from the Elvis family. After all, it was not a change of family heads or a funeral event, so there was no need to invite outsiders.
Duke's arrival instantly became the focus.
Whether it is his appearance or his identity, it is coveted.
In a short while, a circle of bellies appeared around him.
After all, Duke is no longer dementia. As the direct descendant of the Elvis family, many people want to make friends.
Duke naturally couldn't drive people away, so he had to show a slightly stiff smile.
Fortunately, the ceremony began soon and Duke was relieved.
The ceremony was not as complicated as Duke imagined.
What are the sacrifices to heaven, ancestors, gods and Buddhas, there is nothing.
Just let Duke stand on the platform, and introduce it to everyone in a passionate tone by the special host. Then, Barritt took out a round black maple leaf badge on behalf of the head of the family and handed it to Duke himself. The ceremony was completed.
But the process is not over yet, because the most important thing is coming - the separation of property!
The reason why the direct line is a direct line is that they have the most resources of the Elvis family. From the moment they were born, they had their own part.
According to the rules of the Elvis family, the personal property of the direct members is managed by the family before the age of sixteen. Whether the property makes profits or losses in the hands of the family, it has nothing to do with the individual.
After the age of sixteen, the family will return a lot of money to the individual, of course not much.
Although Duke was not in the family before, the property that belonged to him has always existed.
Now he is eighteen years old, and according to the rules, he will naturally return it.
Duke only learned about this rule this morning, and he felt quite humane, but he was not too excited.
In this family, most people are hostile to him. He doesn't know if it is related to these properties, but it is certain that he definitely can't get much.
So Duke is now more calm than those members of the sidelines.
However, when the first property was handed over to him, Duke was still a little surprised.
This is a silver ring with a light yellow gem on it.
Chapter completed!
