Episode 2 – Growing Up Chapter 10 – The Dragon’s Blood Secret Code (above)
The town of Urshan, in the Baruch family mansion.
Hogg had eaten lunch not long ago and was sitting on a recliner outside the living room, leisurely reading a book.
Only to see two silhouettes quickly walking into the mansion, it was Lin Lei who rushed back from Finlay City at great speed, at this moment Lin Lei and Hillman still had hard to hide the excitement on their faces, Lin Lei was even shouting from a distance: “Father, I’m back.”
“Lord Hogg.”
Hillman was also very excited.
Hogg’s head glanced over, and when he saw the excited expressions of Linley and Hillman, he had a hint of a premonition in his heart. Immediately standing up, he looked at Linley and Hillman and inquired in a slightly shaky voice, “How was the magic test?”
The Baruch family had been silent for far too long, and this ancient family was in desperate need of a great figure to restore the family’s honor!
“Lord Hogg, Ernst College, it’s Ernst College, Linley has been accepted into Ernst College.”
Hillman said excitedly.
It was as if Hogg was petrified, at this moment Hogg felt as if his mind was blank as if it was lacking oxygen.
“Lord Ernst?”
Hillman called out twice.
Hogg, who gradually regained his ability to think, looked at Hillman with a sharp intake of breath and asked incredulously, “Ernst, did you say Ernst College?”
At this moment, Hogg’s eyes were wide open.
“Father, this is the acceptance letter from Ernst College.”
Linley directly handed the red letter to his father, Huoge was stunned, then quickly took the red letter and unwrapped it, holding his breath as he carefully looked at the paper acceptance notice within the envelope.
Those red-colored several names – ‘Ernst College’ ‘Linley’.
“Haha, hahahahahaha, O forefathers of the Baruch family, there is hope for our family!”
Hogg violently threw his head back and laughed, his whole body trembling and tears flowing down his face as he laughed, “There’s hope for our Baruch clan!”
That somewhat maniacal laughter, as well as the tears that flowed down his face but caused Linley to freeze.
“Father.”
Linley seemed to be afraid of disturbing his father and shouted softly.
Linley had never seen his father’s madness before, and the tears that flowed down his face made Linley’s heart tremble.
Butler Hillary also came over at this time, he was also shocked at this moment Hogg’s reaction, at this moment Hillary simply do not know what happened.
Hogg took a deep breath and looked towards Linley with extreme excitement in his eyes: “Good, good.”
“Hillman, Uncle Hiri!”
Hogg looked towards these two, “I’m going to have a big feast tonight, quick, prepare well, I’m happy today, very happy. With this one son, I can afford the forefathers of the Baruch family even if I die.”
“Yes, Lord Hogg.”
Hillman and Steward Hiri both responded.
“Squeak~~” suddenly the little shadow mouse ‘Bebe’ jumped out of Linley’s arms and stood on Linley’s shoulder glaring at Hogg, his little eyes filled with anger.
Linley sensed the message from the little shadowmouse’s soul, and cried and laughed.
It turned out that the little shadow mouse was asleep in his arms, but Hogg’s loud laughter had just woken the little shadow mouse up. The little shadow mouse sleeps a lot during the toddler period, and hates it when others wake him up, and is naturally furious at this time.
“Shadow mouse, magic beast shadow mouse?”
Hogg’s face changed abruptly when he saw the little shadow mouse.
“Father.”
Linley, fearing that his father would strike, hurriedly said, “The little shadow mouse has already concluded a soul contract with me.”
Huo Ge seemed to be struck by lightning, and froze for a while, “You, you’ve taken in this magical beast, the Shadow Mouse?”
There were two main conditions for subjugating a magical beast: 1, making the beast submit, and 2, arranging a soul contract magic array.
Linley’s strength was of course clear to Hogg, it was very weak. And the weakest of the magical beasts, the shadow rats, were all level three. What’s more, how could Linley possibly lay out a soul contract magic array, it was simply impossible.
“Yes, father, I subdued him.”
Linley said solemnly.
Huo Ge only felt that his own son, was different from the usual one he knew. Completely different!
“Lord Hogg, Linley really did subdue this shadowrat, I saw it with my own eyes at the time. This shadowrat is the lovely animal that Linley, he often feeds with wild rabbits and chickens these days.”
Next to him, Hillman explained.
“A fed animal?”
Hogg instantly remembered, staring at Linley in disbelief, “The magical beast Shadow Mouse, that’s the adorable animal you said you fed in the abandoned ancient house in the backyard?”
Linley nodded honestly.
Hogg cried and laughed at this time, a cute animal could be a magical beast?
Although he was puzzled as to how Linley had concluded a soul contract with the little Shadowmouse, Hogg wasn’t in a hurry, he was in a very good mood at the moment.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this, Uncle Hilly, Hillman you guys take some guards and hurry up and get ready, I’m going to hold a feast at night.”
Hogg said with a loud laugh, at this moment Hogg’s laugh was bottomless.
Lin Lei looked at his father, from remembering to now, Lin Lei had never seen his father laugh so happily.
That night.
Baruch family is very lively, even the family of a dozen guards and their families are invited over, in the front yard of the Baruch family open space on the entire five tables, the entire Baruch family residence there are all the sound of laughter.
“Yummy, yummy.”
Little Walden grabbed this one momentarily and that one momentarily, eating with excitement.
“Young Master Linley, congratulations on entering the Ernst Academy, in the future Young Master Linley will surely be a great and powerful magician.”
A member of the family’s escort smiled and congratulated Linley.
In the middle of the dinner, Linley was the main character.
Everyone was excited when they realized that Linley was about to enter the Ernst Academy. It was completely conceivable that once one stepped into the Ernst Academy, one was stepping onto a straight path. The Linley of the future was definitely not something that the tiny Wu Shan Town could accommodate.
“Brother, they’re all toasting to you, I’ll toast as well.”
Little Walden grabbed the juice cup.
Linley cried and laughed as he looked at Little Walden’s handful of oil. However, he also still raised the juice cup and clinked the cup solidly with Little Walton.
“Come on, let’s drink as brothers.”
Linley also smiled and raised his glass.
Late at night, in the Baruch clan’s clan hall, the only two people there were Linley and Hogg.
The door to the clan hall was closed, and the entire clan hall was lit with a row of candles, which also made it relatively warm in the clan hall. At this time, Hogg looked at the rows and rows of spirit seats in front of the clan hall, and said in a low, deep voice: “Linley, since the birth of the fifth Dragonblood Warrior of the Baruch family, it has been declining from generation to generation, and even my Baruch family’s inherited treasures have been sold off every time I think about it, I feel incomparably ashamed of myself! ”
Linley stood behind him without saying a word.
He also felt shame.
An ancient family with an inheritance of more than 5,000 years, and even more so, the Dragonblood Warrior family, Linley felt proud in his heart. But now it had fallen to the point where the treasures of the family’s heritage were gone.
“Linley.”
Hogg abruptly turned around and solemnly looked at Linley, “From today onwards, I no longer see you as a child, but as the pillar of my Baruch family’s future! The future of the family depends on you.”
“Yes, father.”
Linley nodded firmly.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go get one thing.”
Huo Ge suddenly turned towards the secret room inside the clan hall, and in just a moment, Huo Ge walked out with a book, “Linley, take it back and read it well, write it all down for me.”
“What is this?”
Linley took the book in confusion, there weren’t any words on the surface of the book, but when he flipped through it, there were four big words on the first page – Dragon’s Blood Secret Code.
