In the underground secret room of the Grant family's castle, Thane met his father, Earl Grant, who had just finished his training.
We haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Earl Grant's face clearly has many wrinkles.
But like Thane, Earl Grant is still very handsome.
As he got older, Earl Grant did not become too old. On the contrary, his masculine temperament made him look like a handsome old man.
It was also from Earl Grant and Jeremy's great-grandfather that Thain learned the news that his father, Earl Grant, had failed in his attempt to reach the first level four years ago.
When the ancestor of the second-level knight Ulysses returned to the Knights Hall three years ago, a large part of the reason was to find some medicines and special resources for Count Grant to help the knights advance through the ranks.
"It's not so easy for a first-class knight to break through. It's reasonable to fail once. I'll have at least two more chances in the future." After meeting, Earl Grant actually comforted Thain in a pretentious and generous manner.
Earl Grant is right, a breakthrough in the level of life is not a simple matter.
There are not so many cases that come naturally. Many knights and magicians will suffer one or two failures when they break through the realm of life. This is a normal phenomenon.
But for Earl Grant, the failure four years ago was a big blow to him.
Because Earl Grant was already in a safe state at that time, and the family had prepared some special resources for him to break through.
But the final result was that not only the breakthrough failed, but all the pharmaceutical resources were also consumed.
With the background of the Grant family, the price of this failure is still bearable.
However, the physical and mental effects of Earl Grant are not so easy to eliminate.
Looking at Earl Grant's performance, he has set his mentality and will very well.
Maybe failing once is not a bad thing. With more experience and a calm mind, Earl Grant will be able to attack a higher level next time with ease.
After listening to Count Grant's introduction, Thain was silent for a moment, and then took out something from the space bracelet.
A large number of flesh and blood of flame creatures, some special fire resources, and two clear light blue potions.
Thanks to the fact that the fighting spirit used by the Grant family is the purple flame fighting spirit, Thain's harvest from many wars in the poisonous fire and green flame world can help them.
For example, the flesh and blood of those flame creatures is a great supplement to knights like Earl Grant.
The flesh and blood that Thain took out were all the flesh and blood of creatures above the first level. (For those below the first level, the Grant family can get them themselves without Thain's help.)
It's a pity that Thain's mentor Lu Lianman has not returned to the wizarding world yet. Otherwise, if he had known about this situation earlier, Thain would definitely have spoken to his mentor.
With Lu Lianman's strength as a fourth-level magician, the flesh and blood of some third-level flame creatures would probably be nothing to her.
As for the flesh and blood that Thain took out in front of him, the highest-grade one was just a body part of a second-level flame viper, which was not enough for Count Grant to eat.
Thain does have a bottle of the blood of the third-level creature Red Blade Lizard King that he obtained during the plane war, but this bottle of blood has been consumed a lot by Thain's research, and the remaining amount is probably not enough for one mouthful.
Thain felt that what he took out was not too much, but it still shocked Earl Grant and Great-grandfather Jeremy.
Especially great-grandfather Jerami, who had participated in two plane wars, but was still surprised by Thain's handiwork.
Glancing at the half-body of the second-level flame viper with a complicated expression, Jeremy couldn't help but sigh: "Having a tower master as a mentor really brings a lot of conveniences."
Jeremy thought that Thain's gains from the plane war were all thanks to his mentor Lu Lianman.
In fact, this half of the second-level Flame Viper's body was one of his trophies when he controlled the magic cannon in the Space Fortress at the end of the Poison Fire Green Flame World War.
A dozen space fortress magic cannons fired a salvo, causing even second-level creatures to be blown to pieces.
The fortress was quite strict in distributing the spoils, and in the end, Thain was even able to get half of the remains of the second-level flame creature.
The flesh and blood of these flame creatures and the special fire resources in front of him will be of great benefit to Count Grant's promotion to a first-level knight.
Those two potions are special potions that Thain bought for Count Grant in the Holy Tower to stimulate the potential of living organisms.
There are definitely more pharmacists in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower than in other areas.
There are many first-level knights from certain areas who come all the way to the trading area of the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade to buy potions.
Thain's ancestor, the second-level knight Ulysses, went to the Knights Hall to buy the potion for Count Grant. The grade of the potion was probably similar to the two medicines Thain brought.
Even in terms of cost, Ulysses buying it from the Knights Hall is probably a bit more expensive.
"Great-grandfather Ulysses will probably return to the Lycian League in a year. At that time, I will also hit the first level again." Earl Grant said to Thain.
Nodding to the count, Thain said: "If I have time then, I will come back and take a look."
"No, just study and study magic in the Holy Tower. If I successfully advance to the first level, I will send you a message." Earl Grant said with a smile.
In addition to the first-level impact, Earl Grant also mentioned to Thane in the secret room that he planned to pass the earldom to Sauron this year.
In fact, in recent years, Sauron has been taking care of the Grant Territory.
Earl Grant no longer has the extra energy to be distracted by these worldly matters, and his main goal at this stage is to prepare for the battle and attack the first level.
Originally, great-grandfather Jeremy was not very satisfied with Sauron, but among the two sons and a daughter that Sauron gave birth to, great-grandfather Jeremy especially loved the pair of blond twins.
Nowadays, the Grant family is in a harmonious and beautiful situation, so Jeremy has no objection to passing the earl title to Sauron.
As for the second-level knight Ulysses, unless it is a major event involving the life and death of the Grant family, it is just the inheritance of a certain generation of titles, and this second-level knight will not care at all.
A mere few decades is nothing at all.
As a knight who has lived for more than a thousand years, Ulysses has seen a lot.
Thain stayed with the Grant family for a week. Although he did not go to the Ferrelan family, he asked someone to pass on the news and handed over the words he told Selina about his willingness to support the younger generation.
The Ferelen family was naturally overjoyed, and immediately decided to send three of their school-age children to the Holy Tower to study in the Holy Tower of Blue Origin two years later.
During the more than a week that Thain spent in the Grant family, he also took time to test the mental strength of direct and collateral members of the family under the age of sixteen.
The results are very unsatisfactory.
In the entire Grant family, there are at least twenty or thirty direct and collateral members under the age of sixteen. (PS: Most of them are collateral members, and there are only a few direct members.)
But in the end, there were only two people who met the initial mental strength standard, and one of them was his little niece.
It seems that blood and genes are really important. The Ferelen family is far less prosperous than the Grant family, but there are quite a few magic apprentices there.
On the other hand, the Grant family seems to be good at cultivating fighting spirit.
Including Thain's cute and beautiful blond niece, rather than embarking on the path of magical elements, perhaps the path of fighting spirit is more suitable for her.
Because although her initial mental strength met the standard, it was only just passing the standard.
Under normal circumstances, unless there is a special way, the Holy Tower will not recruit apprentices with low initial spiritual power.
