Aida Town is an ordinary town at the foot of the mountain near the northernmost part of the Qiwu Empire.
It was almost dusk, and every household was lit with stove smoke. After working hard all day, the residents of the town finished their work and walked towards their homes in twos and threes. Dinner time was the moment they looked forward to most every day.
Already.
At this time, a carriage had just entered the town entrance and was slowly walking towards the town. Aida Town was located in a remote area, and there were few outsiders visiting it, so it immediately attracted dozens of villagers to watch.
"Hey! The mayor is finally back!" Some villagers who recognized the carriage rushed to tell him.
Amid greetings from the villagers, the vehicle slowly arrived at the largest manor in the town. An old man with gray hair walked down holding a little boy. The boy looked around curiously at this somewhat...
The dilapidated manor showed a friendly smile to the villagers not far away.
The old man and the young man were none other than Pusius and Yi Yun.
More than five months have passed since the two of them left Qiwu City and returned here after a rough journey.
After Pusius paid homage to his daughter, he rushed back to the Lanville family with his grandson without stopping, and it was already dinner time in the evening.
As soon as he entered the door, he ignored the doorman's obstruction and carried Yi Yun all the way to the dinner hall of the Lanwell family. As he was the father-in-law of the current head of the family, although the door servants could not stop him, they did not dare to do anything too much to him.
An act of proportion.
At that time, more than twenty direct members of the Lanwell family were sitting in the dining room. In addition to the patriarch Moxi, all of Yi Yun's brothers and sisters were also sitting among them.
Contrary to Pusius's expectations, the process of taking Yi Yun away went smoothly!
His son-in-law, Yi Yun's father, Mr. Mercy Lanville, didn't even think twice about Pusius's request for Yi Yun's custody, and readily agreed. This was Pusius's trip.
The first and only time he saw his son-in-law smile at him...
"A direct descendant who cannot cultivate the ancestral fighting spirit is not only a disgrace, but also a waste. Our Lanville family never raises waste! We have raised him for six years, which can be regarded as the most benevolent... You, take him away,
He has nothing to do with my family from now on!"
After Moxi said these words indifferently, he turned around and left the restaurant. If he didn't look at Pusius and Yi Yun again, these words would be equivalent to him expelling Yi Yun from the house!
When Pusius heard this, he was so angry that his whole body trembled. His face was ashen as he looked at the mocking glances from all around, and he kept laughing and taunting. He hugged Yi Yun and left without saying a word. Yi Yun, who had witnessed the whole process,
He just lowered his head, his eyes were slightly red, his mouth was pursed tightly, and he didn't say a word...
That night, Pusius immediately packed his luggage, regardless of the fact that it was completely dark, and without stopping for a moment, he quickly left Qiwu City under the darkness of night.
"Father, you're back!" Yi Yun looked up at the two middle-aged men and women who came up to him. They were looking at him with smiles on their faces. Although it was their first time meeting him, the concern in their eyes made him laugh.
He felt warmer, far better than his uncles, brothers and sisters in the Lanville family.
Pusius smiled at Yi Yun, pointed at the two of them and said with a smile: "Little Yi Yun, these two are your uncle and aunt. They have been waiting for you to come."
"Uncle, aunt, my name is Yi Yun. Grandpa told me about you."
Yi Yun had long known that he had an uncle named Baddeley, who was his mother's brother. He also heard from his grandfather along the way that his uncle got married just five years ago and now has an only son named Hank, who is two years younger than him.
.
Auntie came over and held Yi Yun's hand, and said with a friendly smile: "Father, you worked hard on the journey! I think Yi Yun must be hungry too, let's go in and have dinner first."
At this time, Baddeley also took Yi Yun's little hand and continued: "Yes! Let's eat first, little Yi Yun, this will be your home from now on! There is also a little boy named Hank at home, who is only four years old this year.
, he is also considered your younger brother, so you two have to get along well with each other!"
Pusius had sent a message to the couple several months ago. They already knew everything that had happened, so they were already prepared for Yi Yun's arrival.
That night, Yi Yun felt the joy of eating at the same table with his family for the first time. This was a wonderful feeling that he had never experienced before. After eating, he went to bed early. It had been several months since he had slept on such a soft bed, and he soon fell asleep.
Went to sleep.
At this time, Pusius's room was not peaceful...
"Hmph! The Lanwell family is simply too bullying! To treat my little sister and Yi Yun like this, I don't know how much they have suffered over the years!" Baddeley said angrily.
Pusius also had a look of anger on his face and said in a deep voice: "They have indeed gone too far! I think that when I took away little Yi Yun, all the people present were Yi Yun's brothers, sisters and elders, but all of them were
What kind of face, looking back on it, it really makes people angry!"
"Alas! However, Yi Yun's appearance is indeed incompatible with their family. No wonder they can't accept it... We can't do anything to these big families. This matter ends here! We won't do it in the future.
Mention the matter about their Lanwell family in front of Yi Yun." After Pusius finished speaking, he sighed again.
Baddeley said helplessly: "That's all we have to do! Fortunately, my father brought Yi Yun back. At least here, he can live a relatively normal life."
"That's right! Yi Yun is six and a half years old now. After he gets used to the life here in a few days, you can start teaching him the weapon refining techniques! Although we can't compare with the Lanweier family in their fighting qi techniques, we can still teach him the weapon refining techniques.
The technique is also passed down from our family's ancestors, and at least it can give Yi Yun the ability to protect himself, and it can also make him an excellent blacksmith."
Baddeley nodded: "Yeah! It's too late to start at the age of six. I taught Hank when he was three. Let's wait until Yi Yun has completely settled down in a month before starting. After all, he is still learning.
Before practicing the weapon-refining exercises, you have to follow traditional rituals. Your body won’t be able to bear it if you don’t take good care of it first.”
"This matter has been decided! Well..., how has our family's business been doing in the past year since I left?" Pusius nodded, and then asked.
"It's a little worse than in previous years! Although this year, our monthly output has been stable, and we can build nearly 1,500 weapons, and all of them have been purchased by the Empire's Thunder Tiger Legion. But now the three major
Local battles in the empire continue, the price of iron ore remains high, and we have not been able to explore new veins..."
"...This year, we have only earned less than 2,000 gold coins in total! After deducting the necessary expenses for maintaining Ada Town and the taxes paid to the empire, the remaining amount is less than 300 gold coins." Baddeley
He said helplessly.
Pusius tapped his fingers and lowered his head in thought, but heard Baddeley whisper: "Father! Can't we find another way to sell weapons to other legions? Although, the Lanville family provided us with a slightly lower price.
Iron ore, but the Thunder Tiger Army keeps lowering the price of weapons. In the final analysis, the Lanville family still takes advantage. The Thunder Tiger Army is originally the team of their family."
After a pause, Baddeley continued: "The quality of the weapons produced by our Start family is better than ordinary. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to find other legions to buy them. In addition, with Yi Yun's incident this time, I really don't want to sell any more weapons."
The weapons are given to the Lanville family!"
After Baddeley finished speaking, he shook his head, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Our in-laws, their family almost controls more than half of the empire's mineral veins. Without the iron ore and fine gold they provide, no matter how good our forging skills are, it will be useless! Although we know that we are taking advantage of them, but...
..." Pusius sighed, and then said: "Isn't it just so that they could provide all kinds of iron ore, so Lucy was married into their family as a concubine? Alas~~!"
Pusius shook his head, his face looked much older: "Our family really can't fight them... the situation is stronger than the people!"
Baddeley also sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face.
On an isolated mountain a hundred miles away from Aida Town, a man in black with long and messy hair was sitting on the top of the mountain. He stared at a house with open windows in the town through a hundred miles away.
, a little boy inside was sleeping soundly and murmured: "I'm here! You're here! You're finally back! It's not in vain that I've been waiting for you for thousands of years..."
"Forbidden blood will flow out, all bones will wither, and the world will be in chaos!"
The mysterious man's face trembled violently, as if he was holding back the infinite surprise in his heart. He looked at the little boy with dazzling eyes for a while, then he looked back and looked up at the sky. There was a bright moon on the top. He suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled:
"Forbidden Blood is born, the glory of our clan will once again shine across the entire continent, and the sky of Qiongwu is about to change! Haha, hahaha, hahahahahahaha..."
Laughing, laughing wildly, laughing wildly! After a moment, the laughter remained the same, and the entire mountain peak suddenly exploded into powder all over the sky, but the mysterious man disappeared without a trace...
