Everyone could clearly hear the words coming out of the young man's mouth, and the name of Stat, and the words were still in their ears, but no one could believe it.
For the important ministers and generals in the Qiwu Hall, they all know that this ancient clan name was once glorious, but gradually fell into decline and even disappeared from the world. In the past hundreds of years, they have witnessed with their own eyes the transformation of a large family from
The whole process from peak prosperity to peak decline.
The name "Start" is just a typical negative teaching material for all aristocratic families. It tells all the children of aristocratic families that it is difficult to start a business and even more difficult to maintain success. They must never let their family fall into the same situation as Start.
Tragic situation.
Stat, for the aristocratic family, is synonymous with decline!
For the ordinary people who are watching the magic video playback, they may not know as much about the ancient families as those high-ranking officials in the empire. However, many years ago, the tragedy of Aida Town shocked the entire empire, killing two thousand people in the town.
Many people died tragically in one night, no matter men, women, old or young, no one was spared. Along with the spread of this biggest tragedy in a century, it was the Stat clan headed by Patriarch Pusius.
One dark night, a tragic incident, the whole clan was wiped out and the whole town was wiped out. Even the person who committed the murder has not been found until now. It is a tragedy that has never happened in the thousands of years since the founding of Qiwu.
Stat, for the people, is synonymous with misery!
Aida Town has long been destroyed, and Start has long been exterminated. Everyone knows this fact, and only then will the next hundred miles of fiefdom be reclaimed, and the biggest reward event of this Magic Fighting Tournament will take place.
how... ...
The black-haired boy actually said in front of everyone that he was a son of Stat and a survivor of the massacre?
If this is really true, then the hundred-mile fiefdom originally belonged to him. The Qiwu royal family should not have taken it back, and the Magic Fighting Conference should not have used it to reward him. This grand fiefdom ceremony was just a mistake.
and jokes.
The knighthood ceremony that should have ended perfectly is no longer peaceful, and the situation has begun to get out of control!
For the first time, Emperor Olba's face showed a look of shock. He stared blankly at Yi Yun. Before he could speak, he heard General Bernardon's slightly panicked voice. He shook his head repeatedly and said in denial: "Impossible.
Absolutely impossible! In the case of Aida Town, the whole town was wiped out overnight. If you were really that... ...a survivor of that disaster, you would have been only eight or nine years old at that time, and you would have absolutely no ability.
Those who escaped that disaster!"
Having said that, Bernardon's eyes were still fixed on Yi Yun. There was no longer any anger in his eyes, but only confusion and disbelief. Moxi also had the same expression. He was already stunned on the spot and could not say a word.
The boy's name is "Yi Yun", which happens to be the same name as the Seventh Son. Although the chance is very slim, they have all carefully explored the boy's life experience, and have also thought about whether he is really the abandoned boy back then, but as they continue to collect
The information about his identity led them to completely deny any such possibility.
Although the information collected was incomplete, it was clear that there were no survivors in Aida Town, that Stat had been destroyed, and that the Seventh Son was dead. It was an ironclad fact.
Now hearing that the young man claimed the surname of Start, and that his first name was Yi Yun, proved that there was only one answer, an answer that had been completely denied. It was like a bolt from the blue to them. They didn't want to, and they never wanted to.
believe!
The two brothers Modo and Anseka, who were standing behind them, had never made any guesses about Yi Yun's identity and did not react yet.
Although they were surprised that what the young man said was the name of the "Start" clan that should have been exterminated long ago, he did not think about it in depth. He was surprised but not surprised. Compared to their grandfather and father.
, their reaction expressions were quite calm.
Alba came back to his senses at this time and said in a deep voice: "You said that you are a child of Stat. This is unbelievable. After the tragedy, our royal family immediately sent a large army to search. There was no one left in the town. Are you?
?!How did you escape that catastrophe?"
Yi Yun replied: "On the night of the tragedy, at that time, I happened to be successful in practicing the family's fighting qi technique and was at the critical stage of a breakthrough, so my family sent me to a secret stone room in the back mountain of Aida Town to practice quietly.
There are several shielding magic arrays painted on that stone chamber, which can block all interference and exploration from the outside world. It is a secret room passed down from my ancestors in Stat to allow my children to meditate...
"A few days later, when I came out of the secret room, the town of Aida had completely changed. Except for me, there was no one else alive in the town, and the murderer had already left... At that time, although I felt
I was extremely sad, but I also knew that I could not stay here for long. After hurriedly burying my clan members, I immediately hid in the mountains and forests and never went back."
Because there were countless powerful magicians present, Yi Yun could not answer Alba's question with falsehoods. What he said just now was either true or false. More than 80% of it was true. Even Magic Saint Jemida did not hear anything.
If there is anything suspicious about it, unless you treat him as if you were interrogating a prisoner and use magic power to inspect him at close range, you will be able to discover that there is something insincere about what he just said.
"...So, you don't know who the murderer was who committed the tragedy in Aida Town." Alba was a little convinced at this time, and then asked: "Where did you go after that?
You were still young at that time, so you probably had nowhere else to go."
Yi Yun turned to look at Nice in the crowd and said: "At that time, I was penniless and didn't know where to go. I only knew that there was a big city in the north of Aida Town. I hid in the mountains and forests for a while.
After a while, I walked north to the city of Donica, and then met the Lord of Nice. With his help, I lived there for several years until I left a few years later."
There was silence in the main hall. Everyone listened quietly to the young man's answer, and they already believed 70% or 80% of it in their hearts.
Just because he really had no reason to take over the identity of the long-dead Start family. It would not do him any good. He was surprised, felt extremely sympathetic to what he experienced at that time, and felt even more sorry for the fate he would face next.
Out of curiosity, everyone said nothing and listened quietly to what he said.
In the main hall, there were only two people whose reactions were obviously different from the others. Both Bernardon and Moxi became paler the more they listened, but everyone's eyes were focused on the young man, and no one noticed their strange behavior.
Alba raised his voice and asked: "Lord of Nice, is what he said true?"
Although Nice is the city lord, he is only a minor noble at the level of "Viscount". If not for the relationship with Dean Mino, he would not be qualified to participate in this ceremony. All eyes are cast on him, and everyone
The people watching him were all powerful generals and ministers who were usually out of reach of him. Niss felt unspeakably nervous.
He had never expected that a good knighthood ceremony would lead to such a development. Looking at Yi Yun, who still had a calm expression, he knew there was no need to hide anything anymore. He took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what Yi Yun said
Everything I said is true. That day, I saw a boy wearing rags and dirty clothes coming to my city lord's house in the middle of the night... He... came to borrow money, and I couldn't help it.
Give him a hand and help him settle in the city of Donica."
"What's the point of going to the City Lord's Mansion to borrow money in the middle of the night?" Alba was shocked at first, then suddenly smiled and said: "Haha, I understand what you mean. You went to the City Lord's Mansion to commit theft. Back then,
This boy is really brave to the extreme!"
In the main hall, the only laughter was the laughter of Emperor Olba. Everyone could only smile after hearing this. They did not expect that this young man who always surprised people and tried his best to win him over would have such an unbearable past when he was young.
.
All the people watching in front of the magic image also smiled warmly, without any look of disdain. On the contrary, they felt a surge of deep admiration. The black-haired boy who successfully jumped into the dragon gate turned out to have a better start than all of them.
No matter what, the situation is worse than that of ordinary people, but he can still work hard to move forward step by step and rise to the top with his own strength.
There is no luck or chance, it is hard work and hard work step by step, so he can always deeply touch people's hearts and write legends.
Nice glanced at Yi Yun and continued: "Well... his method at that time was a bit wrong, but his purpose was to collect enough gold coins to participate in the enrollment of Donica Academy that was about to begin.
The test is for a legitimate reason, so I want to help him."
Alba was slightly stunned and murmured: "It turns out that he came from Donika College...?"
After several rounds of investigations by the Qiwu royal family's elite spies, they never found out that the boy had any connection with Donica Academy. Looking at Karoka, who was standing next to Mino with Nice, he suddenly understood that the boy's true identity could never be revealed.
When someone discovered it, it turned out that the two of them worked together to do it. Later, Mino also got involved, all in order to cover up his true identity as a member of the Stat family, which can be regarded as a well-intentioned one.
Although forging a false identity is a felony committed by the empire, the boy's situation is special. At least, the royal family still can't find any clues about who the murderer was in Aida Town. For the sake of Yi Yun, who was still young at the time, this
It is indeed the best way.
In particular, even Minuo, a nine-star powerhouse, was involved in this matter. The empire ranked third. Minuo, the dean of Tianfeng Academy, has a very high reputation and is an important asset of the empire, including this young man.
There are countless strong men who have been trained by him. Can he really be punished for such a "little thing"?
Alba didn't want to pursue it, and he couldn't pursue it. The forgery of identity was just exposed.
Alba took it for granted and thought of all three of them together, but he didn't know that Mino didn't know Yi Yun's true identity from the beginning to the end. The so-called truth had long been wiped out by Nis and Karoka.
Next, he just forged a false identity for Yi Yun. Just now, when the name Start came out of Yi Yun's mouth, he was extremely surprised.
Jemida also asked at this time: "In other words, during the years when Yi Yun studied in Dorni City, all tuition fees and living expenses were gratis funded by you, the Lord of Nice?"
Several years of tuition and all aspects of living in the residence add up to a considerable amount of money. Although this is not a big deal for a city lord, it is for someone who has nothing to do with him to be able to do this.
This level of help is also extremely rare.
After all, Yi Yun had not yet shown his talents at that time, so his value should be the same as that of other ordinary students, with nothing particularly outstanding.
Unexpectedly, Nice shook his head and said: "I am helping, but it is not free. Back then, I made an agreement with Yi Yun. I would give him all the material assistance he needed for living expenses, college tuition, etc., but he had to give me regular and rationed help.
Forging weapons is a transaction that is beneficial to both parties. He is only responsible for forging weapons, while I provide materials, forging locations and subsequent sales channels, and the profits are distributed according to the percentage. This is how we cooperated back then.
Already."
"He can also make weapons?" Everyone in the hall was in disbelief when they heard this.
Niss nodded and said: "The weapon refining method of the Stat family is indeed extraordinary. It was because of this that I took the initiative to propose cooperation with Yi Yun."
Everyone was relieved when they heard this, because they all remembered that the Stat family had indeed made a living by forging weapons for all generations, and the finished products they made were much better than ordinary weapons. From this point of view, the young man was a Si
There should be no doubt about the identity of the Dart family.
"Wait a minute!" Bernardon suddenly spoke and asked in a deep voice: "The weapons mentioned by the Lord of Nice are ordinary weapons or magic weapons?"
The general's unreasonable words shocked everyone in the hall. They didn't know why he would ask such a question.
Niss was a little hesitant. He was among the powerful men. All his lies were useless. He glanced at Yi Yun, who still had no reaction at all, and then he said frankly: "The ones made by Yi Yun were just ordinary ones at first."
The weapons are only of better quality at most, but as time goes by, they gradually turn into magic weapons."
After hearing this, Bernardon's body trembled uncontrollably, and he turned to look at Moxi. He was standing aside, with a dull expression on his face, and his whole person was completely stunned.
There was an uproar in the whole place, obviously shocked by Nice's words.
"Are you really good at refining magic weapons?" Alba's face reappeared in shock. There were so many unexpected things today that shocked him.
Yi Yun did not deny it and nodded slowly.
At this moment, the patriarch of the Satsuma family came out, looked at Yi Yun in surprise, and then asked in a deep voice to Nice: "Lord Nice, the magic weapon auction you held regularly in Donika City back then, first...
First-grade, and even the first-grade second-grade can be produced. What I want to know is, are all those extremely high-quality magic weapons produced by this young man?"
Nice was helpless. Originally, he wanted to hide the matter, but General Bernardon's sudden question led the topic to a place that no one should have thought of. Now the development of the situation is no longer under his control.
I can only tell you frankly.
Niss nodded and smiled bitterly: "Yes, those magic weapons were all given to me by Yi Yun. Moreover, your major families also sent people to guard outside my city lord's mansion around the clock. The one you are looking for is named
Master Monroe, the master of weapon refining, is also him."
Boom boom boom boom...
Everyone was stunned!
A fellow practitioner from the third level of magic and martial arts has the most rare and rare magic weapon refining skills on the mainland. It is so outrageous!
If what Nice said is true, then this young man is the most amazing person in the Qiongwu Continent in thousands of years. Is there anything else that he still hides, tucks away, and hasn't taken out yet?
In the square outside the palace, in front of the magic image, Luo Lei, Su Li and Nicole listened blankly to Nice's conversation, all with expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces. After a while, the latter two people rushed to Luo Lei.
Asked: "Did you really never know what the Lord of Nice said?"
Luo Lei stared blankly at the magic image and shook her head blankly.
Nicole wondered: "How could this happen? Isn't the Lord of Nice your father?"
Luo Lei said blankly: "At that time, I only knew that there seemed to be some kind of interaction between my father and Yi Yun, which was always mysterious. I felt strange and asked my father several times, but he always denied it without thinking.
... Completely unaware that Yi Yun was able to study in the academy and live in the city with the help of his father, let alone...
"My father actually had such a deal agreement with him in private... At that time, Master Monroe's reputation was very loud in the city of Donica, and many aristocratic families specially sent people to look for him.
The number of blacksmiths suddenly increased. I always thought that Yi Yun went to blacksmith for fun instead of doing his real job. I never imagined that the little devil who ran away as soon as he saw me was Master Monroe himself."
Su Li and Nicole were both shocked when they heard this!
Luo Lei lowered her head and silently stared at the sword she always carried with her. Before the Magic Fighting Conference started, Nice handed two second-grade intermediate-level top-quality magic weapons to her and her elder brother Vido. One was "Ben Lei".
, one is "month by month".
With the help of the best magic weapons, the two brothers and sisters defeated several competing students who were above them in strength. They all won the top 100 rankings in the four-star and five-star level competitions of the Magic Dou Conference.
She never understood where her father got it, but now she finally knows.
Looking up, she first saw her father who looked quite helpless, and then looked at the boy who was still indifferent and silent. She suddenly felt that she wanted to go back to the Donika years that she had recalled countless times.
At that time, she and he were just within reach of each other...
After today, the person he was back then is already out of reach.
Alba and other members of the royal family have heard of the name "Monroe Refiner", but the ancient weapon refining families in the empire can also produce second-grade magic weapons, so they are not particularly interested in it.
It was completely unexpected that the weapon refiner who was sought after by all the major families at that time and rushed to Donika City in droves, and even the two oldest weapon refiner families in the empire, the "Martin" and "Satsuma" families, was actually the one he is today.
Standing in front of him was a boy who was only seventeen years old.
It is unbelievable that you can complete the entire process of refining the magic weapon by yourself without even reaching the age of adulthood!
In the eyes of the great experts in the field of weapon refining, Martin and the two patriarchs of the Satsuma family, this was no different than a miracle. At the same time, when they thought that the young man might actually have some magic weapon refining method that had been lost for thousands of years, they
His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and his eyes looking at Yi Yun became even hotter.
The situation has developed like this. At this point, no one doubts the identity of the young man, and even the method of refining magic weapons. What he has reproduced in his hands is none other than the Stat family, which was once famous for the magic weapon refining throughout the continent.
Except for the Stat family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, no other family can cultivate such a unique skill.
In a corner of the hall, Mino stared blankly at the back of Yi Yun in the center of the hall. He had heard everything Nice said just now, and he finally understood why this student wanted to participate in the Demon Fighting Conference no matter what.
The purpose was to seize back the territory of Aida Town with his own hands. Looking deeper, it turned out that as early as that moment, he had regarded the final victory of the conference as his only purpose of participating...
At that time, he was only a six-star beginner, and his extremely strong self-confidence was just an impossible dream, but he perfectly realized it. He was a surprising student, an unpredictable student. He knew that he could not teach this kind of student.
At this time, a minister walked in from outside the palace and handed a scroll to Alba's hand. It was the Stat family genealogy he had just ordered to find out in the royal document room. He spread it out and read it for a while.
The emperor frowned slightly and asked Yi Yun:
"According to the information of major families in the empire preserved by my royal family, several generations of the Stat family have withered away. Back before the tragedy occurred, there were only one son and one grandson below the leader of the Pusius family, and there were only three people in the whole family.
My age is not suitable for you. Since you insist that you are a member of Stat, can you explain this to me?"
Yi Yun simply replied: "Because I am not a direct member of the family, but a collateral member of the family."
Alba was stunned and asked again: "What about your immediate family?"
Yi Yun said calmly: "I don't want to mention this family again. They abandoned me and kicked me out of the family when I was six years old. After my grandfather Pusius brought me back to Aida Town, I have nothing to do with them anymore!
It’s related.”
After a pause, Yi Yun looked directly at the emperor and said firmly: "My surname is Start, and this cannot be changed!"
Anyone can feel the heavy voice, resolute attitude, and the boy's unrepentant determination. However, Moxi, who was standing blankly in the crowd, had a complexion that turned as green as iron, showing that he was suppressing his rage.
Emotions.
Alba was slightly stunned. This was the first time since the ceremony that he had seen such an emotional reaction from a young man. He nodded and said: "Serial evidence has proven that you do have an inseparable relationship with the Stat family. In this case, in this case,
This is your name rectification, and with the consent of the Geo clan leader, it is okay to name the Genos family fiefdom in the name of Stat."
Without hesitation, Gio took a step forward and swore loudly: "Thank you for your Majesty's kindness. From now on, the official name of our clan's fiefdom will be Statt, and it will not be changed again!"
Alba smiled and nodded. This complex, eventful, and surprising ceremony finally came to an official end.
Just when he was about to instruct the Minister of Ceremony to quickly complete the matter of rectifying the name of the territory, a heavy voice like a bell sounded in the hall: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, I object!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and it turned out to be General Bernardon, who was dressed in military uniform and stood out from the crowd. With an angry look on his face, he strode up to Emperor Alba and said in a deep voice: "This ceremony
, whether it is the rectification of the boy’s name or the naming of the territory, everything is inconsistent with the law, is not tolerated by reason, and is inconsistent with feelings. It must be stopped immediately!”
Alba frowned. Such an unexpected and eventful ceremony had already made him impatient. He said displeasedly: "General, I know that there is some resentment between the Lanville family and Yi Yun, but that is not
There is no need to make things worse. Besides, no one is allowed to interrupt the important rituals of the empire without justifiable reasons. Just stand down!"
Bernardon shook his head, looked directly at the young man next to him, met his eyes without blinking, and said word for word: "Wrong, Your Majesty! I happen to have a very legitimate reason, because this is my blueprint."
