Chapter One Hundred and Thirty The Felleron Family
The injury to his arm did not affect Earl Grant's power in the family.
It is true that eating with the left hand is a bit unfamiliar to the count.
But he still chewed the meat slices of the magic-maned deer calmly, and dipped it into the precious caviar from the far south.
The meat slices of the low-level Warcraft Mane Deer were only cooked to medium rare, 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 this kind of 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 very 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 count.
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 battlefield on the Western Front."
"Sauron will come with me when the time comes. As you say, Thane..." the Earl muttered.
"My experiment is at a critical stage, especially today, when another major breakthrough was made." Thain replied in a normal tone.
At first, Thane 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 League. No one can tell how long this war will last.
It's okay to say that the time is short, but if it 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 go to the front line with him to fight.
During the Three Kingdoms War, a large number of magicians served. These magicians were generally between low-level apprentices and intermediate apprentices. High-level apprentices were already rare among them, and were the focus of protection by 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.
Magicians, through research in the laboratory, can transform and improve their spiritual power and complete the sublimation of life levels.
If Thain's experiment really has reached a critical stage, there is 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 is not a registered magician of the Lycian Alliance military, so why would he join in the fun? The military has not given him any allowance.
All he used 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 is a straightforward person who rarely talks nonsense, even at the dinner table.
Thain's mother's family is called the Ferelen family, which is 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 at the forefront.
Especially since this family currently has several magic apprentices of high rank, and 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, Thane learned that although his mother Catherine was also a magic apprentice, she did not seem to be very talented.
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 passed away and Earl Grant married again.
The intersection between the Grant family and the Ferrelan family has gradually faded away.
Although Lady 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.
After all, Thane also has the blood of the Ferrelan family.
In particular, the Ferelen family didn't know where they found out that Thane already had the ability to be a senior apprentice. This was the reason why they took the initiative to come to him.
Let Thane recognize the blood relationship of the Ferelen family, which is just one of them.
More importantly, with a senior apprentice like Thain as a family member, the Ferelen family's strength and heritage in the Lycian Alliance can also be increased.
As for further contact, especially the exchange of interests, the Ferelen family has not mentioned it yet.
After all, Thain's surname is Grant, not Ferelen.
Although his mother Catherine is considered one of the main lineages of the Ferelen family, it seems that her lineage did not produce any outstanding magic apprentices.
With the death of Catherine, the status and influence of Grandpa Thane's branch in the Ferrelan family has become increasingly reduced.
After briefly mentioning the situation of the Ferrelan family and the situation with Grandpa Thain’s family.
Earl Grant pondered for a moment, and finally said to Thain: "I did not disclose to the outside world that you have an official magician as a mentor, nor did I say that you would go to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin to study."
"After your grandpa and the others come, I hope you won't expose this matter to them casually."
"Although I have a close relationship with your mother and your grandfather's side, the situation of the Ferrelan family is much more complicated than that of our Grant family."
"Including the one in charge now, there are also several other main branches."
"I don't want the Ferelen family to drag down your growth, do you understand?" Earl Grant said, looking into Thane's eyes.
After carefully savoring the word "drag" mentioned by the earl, Thain did not say anything.
