Chapter 8 The Great Banquet of Aragund's House

Time passed quickly for another two days, and the time came to the day when Adrian turned one hundred years old. On this day, Adrian officially came of age and became an official male of the Aragund family of the Foehn Windford family.

Ding, for the high-ranking elves with a small population, this is a major event for every clan.

On this day, Adrian was woken up from bed by Vicki when the bell struck six in the morning. Then, with a confused look on his face, Adrian allowed Vicki to dress him in formal aristocratic clothing that was much more complicated and gorgeous than usual:

A set of dark dark green, full of mysterious and complicated light blue and gold ivy pattern tight-fitting dresses, and also paired with a darker color cloak embroidered with the Foehn Windflee clan emblem. From today on, Adri

An is also an adult high-ranking elf noble who is qualified to wear a cloak.

Vicky finally combed Adrian's long pale blond hair with a light blue halo into a sleek style and tied it back with a golden hair tie. Adrian looked at himself in the mirror for the first time.

New skin.

It has to be said that Adrian's current appearance is really better than in his previous life. In other words, none of the high-ranking elves that Adrian has ever seen are ugly. It's because his genes are so good. Now Adrian's face shape

Appropriate proportions, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, straight nose bridge, red teeth and white teeth, fair skin but not sickly, soft facial lines but not effeminate, a face that perfectly combines delicacy and masculinity, pointed ears

Compared with the aesthetics of previous lives, it is full of exotic customs.

Adrian is very satisfied with how he looks now. Apart from his face, as long as he can go back to his previous life, Adrian is confident that he can gain at least 20 million fans just by buying photos.

Then Adrian stood up, took a look at himself in the mirror, and became even more satisfied. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with a height of 173cm, but now he has a tall and straight posture of at least 188cm, with broad shoulders and straight and slender legs.

Perfectly holding up a set of aristocratic dresses.

Then Vicki hung the flame-patterned foil sword given by Jurukia and Danbrent to Adrian's waist. Adrian had named the flame-vine foil sword according to the custom of Grensen Tower.

Now it is equipped with a scabbard in line with the style of Foehn Windflee, which makes Adrian look even more heroic.

Adrian was busy on this day. First, he went to the family meeting hall with his family members who were also well-dressed. Witnessed by all the members of the Foehn Windflee family who were still in the Nibelungen, he went through a series of events.

After the complicated but solemn etiquette, the patriarch carved Adrian's name on the core of the Nibelung root of the World Tree, and permanently solidified it with magic.

This also symbolizes that from this moment on, Adrian is not only the adult second son of the Aragund family, but also an adult member of the Foehn Windflee family. He enjoys the family's corresponding welfare benefits and noble rights, and at the same time, he also needs to bear responsibilities.

The corresponding responsibility is the responsibility of the second sons of the family to "guard and herd the forest".

Adrian's days in the Nibelungen officially entered a seven-day countdown from this moment on.

Throughout the noon and afternoon, Adrian stayed in the living room of the manor at home. Accompanied by his father and brother, he entertained the tribesmen who came to congratulate him in an endless stream. The tribesmen who had gathered in the family meeting hall in the morning were at this time.

They all gathered at Aragund's house.

There are now a total of 472 high-ranking elves in the entire Foehn Windflee family. There are 394 elves staying in the Nibelungen. Those who have come out to stick to important positions have now come to Yala.

The Gund family.

The population of high-ranking elves has never been large. Foehn Windflee is among the twenty-one noble clans, and in terms of population alone, it can already be ranked in the top ten.

Aragund proudly showed Adrian's academic achievements to the guests, which was a copy of the "Glenson Tower Encyclopedia Natural History Volume 1", and received a burst of exclamations and congratulations from the tribesmen.

, in fact, as early as when Adrian went to the big library and kept "turning through the books", and after Aragund did not take any disciplinary action against Adrian, the tribesmen speculated that Adrian might have awakened something.

This kind of talent has now been confirmed after seeing Adrian's "book" with his own eyes.

The huge territory, sparse population, and long lifespan make it rare for family members to have feelings of jealousy. They have been taught since childhood that the people of the tribe are the most precious resource, and the achievements of the tribe are the glory of the family.

The tribesmen were really happy for Adrian, and the patriarch directly stated that he wanted to keep Adrian directly in the Nibelungen. As for the patriarch responsible for "guarding and herding the forest", he also said that he would report it to the elders of Green Sea.

The Parliament and the Council of Three Kings applied for amnesty for Adrian.

Adrian thought for a while, but still refused under Isabella's hopeful eyes. The reason was still the same:

"I, Adrian Aragund, Foehn Wind and Windfry, are the future great scholar, Holy Spirit Elder, and the man who will lead the family back to the Elder Clan. Avoiding responsibility will be a stain on my life. My honor does not allow me to do so.

"

It's not that Adrian has completely awakened after celebrating his birthday. On the contrary, he is still very interested in being a happy young man. The reason why he made up his mind to go to the fief must start with the Good Fortune Cauldron system.

So far, Adrian has experimented with the knowledge entry function, which has also earned him the title of "Future University Scholar." He also wants to try other functions, especially after he has a detailed understanding of the system.

after.

The host column allows Adrian to monitor his physical condition at any time, which is very important, especially when practicing to gather the vitality of heaven and earth and transform it into his own magic power. The host column allows Adrian to monitor himself at any time to achieve the maximum reasonable mining.

the purpose of one’s own potential.

The energy well column is used to gather various energies to supply energy to the next column, the Cauldron of Creation. It can be regarded as a battery. After more than a month of secret experiments by Adrian, there are currently four types of energy accumulated in the energy well, namely:

The qi and blood essence transformed from the bodies of animals or other advanced creatures is aggregated into the heaven and earth vitality by absorbing part of the free heaven and earth vitality attracted by Adrian during his practice, and then the life soul transformed by absorbing the soul that lost the body,

Finally, Adrian put trees, earth and rocks into the Cauldron of Creation and refined them to obtain the basic material.

With energy, Adrian was very much like trying out the creation function of the Fortune Cauldron. However, when Adrian was about to put his courage into the Fortune Cauldron for the first time to experiment, he was reminded by the Fortune Cauldron that he was currently in another great situation.

Within the range of life's perception, if the creation function of the Creation Cauldron is activated, there may be a certain chance of being detected by the opponent due to the escape of the power of creation, which may cause unpredictable consequences.

Adrian thought for a while and speculated that the great life in the mouth of the fortune tripod was probably the family's world tree Nibelung. He himself lived in Nibelung's body, and of course he was within the range of others' perception.

, Adrian did not dare to take this risk. Who knows what would happen if others discovered the existence of the Cauldron of Creation, especially since upper-level elves are generally scientific madmen who pursue knowledge.

So Adrian had to use his great ambition as an excuse to decline the kindness of the patriarch. Isabella's eyes darkened, but in fact Adrian himself was also very disappointed, and his playboy career was completely over.

But Adrian soon became happy again, because at four o'clock in the afternoon, Aragund announced that the coming-of-age dinner for the second son of the Aragund family had officially begun. What made Adrian happy was that he could accept it again.

A gift.

Of course, although the gifts given by ordinary tribesmen are considered heavy, their actual value is still limited. They are generally seeds from vassal races or simply magic crystals with a quantity of less than ten. Those who are close to the Aragund family are generally given away.

He gained the knowledge of gifts that are very important to the upper elves.

In other words, books. These are not the basic knowledge-level books found in the free and open areas of the family library. What can be given out on such occasions can only be high-quality products from personal collections. Of course, they are all copies, and generally no one will

Even parents and children rarely give away original books, so Adrian's act of generously giving the original books to Jurukia made his family so moved.

Soon, the family members' gifts were collected by the Adri Security Department into his wallet. Although his wallet bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye, in fact, these were just floating wealth, and they came and went quickly.

What is truly valuable to Adrian are the seeds of the vassal races, especially those fairy flower vines.

After the guests have given away their gifts, the real climax of the banquet has come, when Adrian's family members will give Adrian a coming-of-age gift.

First, Dan Brunt and Julukia walked up to Adrian. Jurukia again forcibly took Adrian into her arms, kissed his ears, and then let go of Adrian, saying with relief

Looking at Adrian with eyes, Adrian, who had been bullied by Jurukia a lot these days, felt uncomfortable and said jokingly:

"My dear sister Jurukia, isn't this kiss my coming-of-age gift? It's so precious."

Jurukia didn't say anything, but took a short strip box from Aragund's hand and handed it to Adrian. Adrian opened it on the spot according to etiquette. It was a hunting knife, also with flame patterns.

It is made of steel and has also been permanently blessed by magicians with certain spells, so it looks very valuable.

Jurukia sighed and said: "The young falcon will always grow up to be the king of a certain sky, but I hope you will never need this hunting knife."

Of course Adrian knew what Jurukia meant. High-ranking elves are said to never be alone. Even if they are exiled and become wild elves, high-ranking elves will definitely have followers around them. For high-ranking elves, hunting

The existence of the knife has a greater role as a symbol of the forest people. They will not use hunting knives as weapons. This is because even the rangers and hunters among the elf warriors generally choose scimitars as their main weapons and will not handle them with their own hands.

Prey, that is the job of the followers.

Adrian hugged Jurukia and whispered in her ear: "I will never use it, don't worry, sister."

Next was Danbrent. After Jurukia stepped away, he walked up to Adrian and patted him on the shoulder. He felt a lot of emotion in his heart. This brother-in-law, who looked like a dandy last time they met, actually

He has grown to such an extent that he is a "future great scholar" and has many prestigious titles.

Dambrent handed another small box in his hand to Adrian. Adrian handed the hunting knife to Vicky beside him and took it politely. After thanking him, he opened it and found an emerald green one.

The bracelet flashed with silver-gray magic stars from time to time, and there was a burst of exclamations and gasps from around it. Of course Adrian knew what it was, and he said to Danbrent:

"This is a bit too expensive. There are no space props with less than 2,000 magic crystals..."

Danbrent smiled slightly and interrupted Adrian's next refusal: "It's not expensive. This is the trophy your sister and I got when we were hunting down sinners. It didn't cost a single magic crystal. Your sister and I both have it.

And you need to."

After saying that, Danbrent retreated to Jurukia, and just looked at Adrian with a smile, not giving Adrian the slightest chance to refuse.

Adrian had no choice but to hand the bracelet and box to Vicky on the side and accepted the gift.

Next is Travisi. The gift he gave Adrian couldn't even be packed in a box. It was a noble hunting suit made of the skin of a white dragon from the lower dragon clan. Every component was permanently blessed.

Spells, if the space bracelet is expensive, then the dragon skin hunting suit is priceless. If you want to buy it, you have to look at the opportunity.

Adrian recognized this dragon-skin hunting suit, which was also Traversi's trophy. It was the skin of a white dragon that he managed to kill at the cost of serious injuries and death when he was traveling on the mainland. At that time,

A total of three hunting attires were made, one was worn on Traversi himself, and the other was in honor of Aragund. This was the last one.

Traversi's flower demon maid showed the dragon-skin hunting attire to the guests, which caused even more exclamations, and then handed the dragon-skin hunting attire to Vicki.

Adrian looked at Travisi and said with a smile: "I won't thank you, Travisi. This is what you promised to give me a long time ago."

Travisi also laughed, he bumped Adrian's chest with his fist, said nothing, and retreated to his original position.

Next were Aragund and Isabella. Adrian did not dare to let them come in front of him. He took the initiative to walk towards Isabella and Aragund and said mischievously:

"So my charming mother and wealthy father, what adult gifts have you prepared for me? You won't be stingy, right?"

Isabella took two steps forward, took Adrian into her arms like Jurukia did, and kissed his ear gently, then took a box from the hand of the flower demon maid beside her and handed it to her.

To Adrian.

Adrian opened the box and found a cloak, which also shone with magic stars, but it was obviously more intense. This time it was Adrian's turn to exclaim:

"Exquisite props?!"

"It will protect you, just like mother."

Adrian hugged his mother, and at this moment, he completely integrated into Adrian's identity.

Then came Aragund. He walked up to Adrian and looked at Adrian carefully. A proud smile appeared on his face. He stretched out a hand and patted Adrian on the head.

Without saying a word, he handed a huge box to Adrian.

Adrian took it and opened it, and was really shocked this time:

"Wings of the South Wind?!"

"Yes, Wings of the South Wind."

Now not only the guests, but also Isabella and the clan leader were not calm. You must know that the Aragund family has two most famous weapons. They are both longbows, namely the power of the south wind and the Ai

Grandpa Derrian's weapon is now in the hands of Aragund and will be passed to Traversi in the future.

The other longbow is the Wing of the South Wind in Adrian's hands now. It was the weapon of Adrian's grandfather's younger brother. Adrian's second grandfather had no heirs. After his death in the battle, the Wing of the South Wind has been kept by Aragund.

The Wings of the South Wind and the Power of the South Wind are both made from the same star-patterned fir tree from the past. They are also spiritual-level weapons with various magical functions.

The patriarch once offered Aragund 10,000 magic crystals but failed to obtain this Wing of the South Wind. Unexpectedly, Aragund now gave it to Adrian.

Adrian took a deep breath, looked at Aragund seriously, and said:

"I won't let you down, father."

Aragund did not speak, but patted Adrian's shoulder again and motioned Adrian to come to the patriarch.

Adrian closed the lid of the box containing the Wings of the South Wind and handed it to Vicki. Vicki held the box and walked aside.

Adrian walked up to the patriarch alone, preparing to accept the family's coming-of-age gift. The patriarch didn't say too many words, he just wished Adrian good health and strength, and then handed a piece of paper to Adrian.

It was a recruitment contract, a contract certificate for the followers that the family had recruited for Adrian. Adrian read it carefully, and at the same time sighed that the benefits of the title of "Future University Scholar" were worthy of his careful planning.

This contract certificate states that Adrian can recruit thirty lower elves and one hundred vassal races from the lower elves and vassal races led by the Dao family, including a master-level lower elf. The family will pay the former

Ten years of salary.

You must know that when an average high-level elf reaches adulthood, the family will generally only give ten low-level elves and thirty vassal races as adult gifts, and not only will they not help recruit master-level high-level elves, they will not help pay their salaries.

Adrian sincerely and sincerely thanked the patriarch again, and the patriarch once again wished Adrian that he would always be accompanied by truth and knowledge, and encouraged Adrian to become a great scholar as soon as possible and strive for glory for the family.

Next, Adrian once again accepted the congratulations of the family attendants and servants, then Isabella announced the start of the dinner as the hostess, and Aragund, as the head of the family, gave a speech wishing good appetite.

The dinner was grand and the atmosphere was very cheerful. Many people of the same age with whom he usually had a normal relationship also danced around Adrian. The dinner lasted until late at night before dispersing.

Adrian, finally officially came of age.
