This aristocratic boy has a classically handsome face. He is slightly taller than Glaint, and his body is obviously stronger. He is not as skinny as Glaint.
In fact, due to the age difference, Gray Linte and this nobleman can only be said to have a certain friendship, but not a close acquaintance.
However, the other party has always treated him as a younger brother, and is even closer to him than his second brother who has the right to inherit.
"Good morning, Hibbert, you are as enthusiastic as ever."
"Of course, I very much welcome your arrival."
Hibbert enthusiastically ushered him into the reception room, but Earl Hall had not yet appeared.
Graylint has actually entered this reception room many times, but always as a child.
Now seeing the neatly tidied, clean and bright desk, and the regularly arranged bookshelves behind it, Gray Lint felt a little timid for some reason.
In his previous life, he was just a nobody.
"Should we still drink coffee? Two sugar cubes? Dad just received a message and may not come over for a while."
It has to be said that Hibbert's familiar way of treating guests made a sociophobic patient like Gray Lint very comfortable.
"Yes, thank you." Actually, I would rather drink tea, but I have to try my best to look like the old Gray Lint, and Gray Lint complained silently.
"Uncle Hall seems to be very busy recently?" Gray Lint asked casually. This was analyzed based on his memory that Earl Hall did not "supervise" him in the past month.
Normally, Earl Hall would write to him or urge him once or twice every month, unless he was too busy to think of it.
Hibbert nodded, "Some laws need to be adjusted, but I'm not sure yet."
Graylingt, who had read the original work, knew that it should involve the abolition of the Corn Laws. Unfortunately, he did not have any reasonable reasoning to tell this result. He could only lightly nod to show that he did not know and was not very interested.
"Grailint, good morning~" Hearing this brisk and familiar voice, Gralite knew who had come in.
Audrey wore a ruffled white dress, with a delicate face and dignified manner.
"Good morning, Audrey, you are beautiful in a different way every day." Gray Lint turned his head and smiled as naturally as possible.
Frankly speaking, such a smooth and bright Audrey really makes people feel ashamed.
"You look a little worried? Is there something that's bothering you?"
She is such a smart girl, maybe she is born to be an "audience".
"No, no, it's not annoyance, it's just a trivial matter." Gray Linte dispelled the emotion on his face and smiled naturally.
"That's good."
Audrey nodded and glanced at Earl Hall's figure from the corner of her eye.
"Dad is here. I won't interrupt your conversation. I'll see you later."
I hope we can see you later, provided that the earl does not prevent me from telling you about the Extraordinary. Gray Linte smiled and waved as he watched Audrey leave the reception room, and Hibbert also took the opportunity to leave.
"Sit down, don't be nervous. Don't feel like you're being interrogated every time you talk to me."
Earl Hall did not make too many pleasantries and his tone was very easy-going, which effectively soothed Gray Linte's tense nerves.
"Okay, Uncle Hall."
Gray Linte sat down in response and didn't know how to ask.
"Last time when you inherited the title, I asked you what direction you wanted to develop, what? Have you made a decision now?"
This is not wrong in a certain sense, but it is a pity that I hope to develop into the extraordinary.
"Yes, Uncle Hall, I think I should do something meaningful."
"For example?" Earl Hall took a sip of coffee and was noncommittal. He remembered that Gray Linte had always been quite lazy, and he basically didn't do anything serious except being interested in extraordinary powers.
To be honest, Earl Hall does not recognize the so-called extraordinary power developed by the nobles themselves.
Wealth can effectively drive extraordinary people below sequence five or even sequence four, but high-sequence people have to bear too huge risks, which is not in line with the concept of capital investment.
Gray Linte's face froze, and his mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he realized that Earl Hall had realized his purpose.
But he didn't want to show that he was aware of it!
Taking a deep breath, Gray Linte straightened his clothes and said seriously: "Uncle Hall, I want to become an extraordinary person!"
Earl Hall frowned slightly: "Tell me your reasons."
He did not deny or refuse directly. Gray Lint looked happy.
"I think the confidence that political power and wealth bring to me is like the love that my mother Bharata has for me. I do not deny their truth, nor do I admit their solidity."
This is Gray Lint's core point of view, and it is also the point that Earl Hall cannot convince him.
"Extraordinary power may be easier to lose control than political power and wealth." Count Hall's brows wrinkled a little bit. He was no stranger to this. Extraordinary people call it a terrible thing that is out of control, and it even makes the extraordinary person no longer a person.
Instead of humans, they become walking monsters.
Of course, Gray Lint is no stranger to this, but he knows that very few people who truly understand "acting" are naturally out of control.
He didn't refute anymore, he just insisted silently.
Seeing this, Earl Hall suddenly understood that this child had actually made up his mind a long time ago, and no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.
When was it? It didn’t seem so resolute before?
————————————————————
"What path do you hope to take?"
In the silent stalemate, Earl Hall broke the silence.
After a slight pause: "Other than official ones, too."
Gray Linte's eyes lit up little by little.
The official "Nighthawk", "Punisher" and "Mechanical Heart" are extraordinary information that many nobles in the Kingdom of Loen know. Of course, most of the nobles have not really seen extraordinary power.
Earl Hall should think that I only know a very small amount of sequence information outside the three major churches of Loen!
This is in line with Gray Linte’s character!
A curious aristocratic child with no channels is most likely just interested in a certain magical ability.
But he doesn't know that I actually know all the sequence pathways very well.
"Uncle Hall, my father, Lawrence Mariano, was once an extraordinary man, right?"
The basis of Gray Linte's judgment was that his father was not good at politics in his memory, but he was once a powerful aristocrat.
Earl Hall nodded: "You are smarter than I thought. He is a 'judge', do you want to inherit his will?"
Judge, judge path, sequence six.
The medium sequence cannot control heredity, not to mention that he most likely did not become a judge when I was born.
So I don’t have to consider the conflict of extraordinary characteristics and can only take the path of the judge.
"I choose 'lawyer'. I wonder if Uncle Hall knows about this?" Gray Linte raised his lips slightly.
With the power shown by Earl Hall, it should be relatively easy for him to appear as an official lawyer and arbitrator.
Earl Hall didn't know the relationship between the sequences and didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded: "Follow me."
——————————————
As for why he chose the lawyer route, Graylingt can only say that it was completely intuitive.
Just when I recalled the lawyer's sequence ability, a strong impulse emerged.
This path is destined for me, um, I am convinced.
Damn it, there's definitely something fishy about this, right? But such an obvious temptation doesn't seem like a trap for a boss?
Or maybe "He" wants me to think in this direction?
Following closely behind Earl Hall, Gray Linte's eyes gradually deepened.
