Looking at Lin Tianqi walking in, Ackerman's serious face also showed a rare gentle smile, and his eyes showed a trace of satisfaction and even a trace of pride.
From birth to now, Lin Tianqi has not only shown a genius far beyond that of children of his own age, but also has an impeccable character, attitude, and other aspects.
For such a child, I am afraid that no parent would not feel satisfied and proud, so Ackerman also attaches great importance to his youngest son and has high hopes for him.
"Come, Karl, come to father." Ackerman greeted with a kind smile.
"Yes, father." Lin Tianqi responded politely and walked over.
"Come on, Karl, father, let me introduce to you. This is Knight Adrian."
When Lin Tianqi walked up to him, Ackerman immediately smiled and pointed to the tall middle-aged man next to him and introduced him.
"Master Carl."
When Adrian heard this, he immediately saluted Lin Tianqi respectfully and shouted, his voice neither humble nor arrogant.
"Hello, Grand Knight Adrian, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have always heard my father mention you before. You are the most heroic and powerful knight in Hill City, an admirable knight."
Lin Tianqi immediately said with a smile. When Ackerman introduced the middle-aged man's name, he immediately remembered the man's identity. His father's most capable general, the second strongest man in Hill City, the Great Knight Adrian, at the same time He is also the leader of the Hill City Glory Knights, and can be said to be the most respected retainer in their entire Baruch family.
Adrian was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Tianqi to say such words at such a young age. Especially when Lin Tianqi said "you", he was flattered and said quickly.
"Young Master Carl is overrated. My subordinates will never be able to bear the word "most powerful". In the entire Hill City, the most powerful knight belongs to only the Earl..."
Added another line at the end.
"Young Master, just call me Adrian. I will never be able to bear this word like yours."
With that said, Adrian bowed his hand to Lin Tianqi again, and at the same time looked at Lin Tianqi carefully, secretly surprised.
I thought to myself that there are rumors below that Master Carl is extremely talented and intelligent, and he is indeed well-deserved.
The smile on Ackerman's face became even brighter when he saw this scene. The better Lin Tianqi performed, the happier he would be as a father.
"Father, you called me here today and asked me to meet Knight Adrian. Are you planning to let me start practicing like your elder brother?"
Lin Tianqi looked at Ackerman again and said, after confirming Adrian's identity, Lin Tianqi immediately roughly guessed his father's plan.
Sure enough, as Lin Tianqi expected, Ackerman smiled and nodded.
"That's right, haven't you always told me that you have become stronger through practice? From now on, my father will ask Knight Adrian to teach you how to practice in person. How about that?"
Lin Tianqi's face immediately showed surprise when he heard this, and he said.
"Really?"
Ackerman was very satisfied with Lin Tianqi's reaction, especially the excitement shown, and nodded with a smile.
"of course it's true."
"That's great." Lin Tianqi immediately clenched his fist excitedly, and then seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "What about eldest brother? Am I with eldest brother?"
"No, it's just you. How about I let Knight Adrian teach you alone?"
Ackerman said.
"Okay, don't worry, father. I will definitely work hard to practice and become a powerful knight like my father in the future."
Lin Tianqi looked excited and nodded solemnly.
"Okay, that's it. You go down first. Starting from tomorrow, you will start training with Knight Adrian."
"yes."
Lin Tianqi immediately responded again, then politely turned around and left.
After Lin Tianqi left, Ackerman looked at the direction Lin Tianqi left and said to Adrian next to him.
"Next, Karl will be left to you, Adrian."
When Adrian heard this, he immediately bowed his body and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Lord Count, I will teach Master Carl wholeheartedly."
Adrian was actually slightly reluctant to teach Lin Tianqi at the beginning. Otherwise, Lin Tianqi was too young, only over a year old. In his opinion, no matter how precocious and talented Lin Tianqi was, he would still be a genius.
There should be a limit. Although education among nobles starts early, especially in terms of cultivation, it starts from an early age, but at this age, it is basically around four years old.
So at first, although Adrian didn't show it on the surface that he would teach Lin Tianqi next, he was still slightly unhappy in his heart. He felt that the earl was too fond of this young master and did not consider the actual situation at all. How could he be so talented?
Children who are over 10 years old have started to practice. Children over one year old can't walk steadily even in open pants.
But at this moment, after seeing Lin Tianqi with his own eyes, the emotion in Adrian's heart completely disappeared, because judging from Lin Tianqi's performance just now, he was simply more mature than any child, and physically, although he was only over a year old, Lin Tianqi was
His development seems to be no less than that of an average three-year-old child, and he can barely reach the stage of cultivation.
"Well, I believe you too."
Ackerman also nodded when he heard this and said.
"Karl has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, far surpassing other children. However, in terms of cultivation, it still depends on talent. Since Karl wants to practice, let him be exposed to his talent in advance. First, let's see what Karl is doing.
The talent of the knight, we will look at the talent of the mage Karl later, especially the mage. This world is ultimately dominated by mages..."
When he mentioned the word "mage" at the end, Ackerman couldn't help but sigh.
After all, the status of a knight in this world is much lower than that of a mage. Even if he becomes the most powerful titled knight among the knights, his strength is only at the level of a formal mage, and he is still only weak.
powerful.
But don't forget that a first-level mage is just the lowest level among official mage.
Therefore, it is not without reason that the status of knights in this world is far lower than that of mages.
This world is ultimately dominated by mages.
But being a mage requires too much talent. Among tens of thousands of people, there may not be even one person with a mage talent. And even if you find one, if you have average talent, you may not be able to go very far on the path of being a mage.
Ackerman also thinks about a mage from his Baruch family all the time, and Lin Tianqi is undoubtedly his biggest hope right now.
Because Lin Tianqi has shown many talents far beyond his peers since childhood, he saw hope.
Even not only him, but also his mother Belliana has always regarded Lin Tianqi as the hope for the future of the family.
But as the saying goes, the greater the expectations, the greater the worries.
Therefore, Ackerman is also most worried about Lin Tianqi's talent.
What he was most afraid of was that Lin Tianqi was showing various talents, but in the end his cultivation talent was mediocre when tested, leading to a situation where the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Therefore, Ackerman decided to let Adrian teach Lin Tianqi to practice now. He just wanted to take a look at Lin Tianqi's talent first, and first look at Lin Tianqi's talent in fighting spirit. If Lin Tianqi showed outstanding talent in fighting spirit, he might become a titled knight.
If he has the qualifications, then even if Lin Tianqi cannot become a mage, it can give him and his family some comfort.
Because if Lin Tianqi can become a titled knight, then at least it will ensure that the current power of the Baruch family will not continue to decline, and there will be more future.
Furthermore, if Lin Tianqi shows outstanding talent as a mage again, then even if it takes all the efforts of the entire family, Ackerman will definitely train Lin Tianqi with all his strength, because a mage is the source of countless future brilliance.
"Your Majesty, why should you worry too much? Judging from the genius that Master Carl has shown since he was a child, I believe that in terms of talent cultivation, Master Carl will be as outstanding as he is now and will not disappoint.
..."
Adrian said immediately after hearing this.
"Yes, you are right. Carl has never let me down, and I believe he will never let me down."
Ackerman also said the same thing after hearing this, as if he agreed with Adrian's words, and more like he was cheering himself up.
