Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 518: Earl Phoenix (2/3)
"Miss Mo Feng? And Miss Hua An? It's really a blessing to meet two goblin ladies at once. Wait, what else?"
The person who greeted him was an old man dressed as an aristocrat. He was wearing an Earl's coat, and he was followed by two attendants. He was obviously a big shot.
Although it is said that in the imperial capital, especially in the upper districts, you can hit a dozen big shots with just a throw of the ball, but this gray-haired old man is obviously not an old guy with only status—the face of this old man The outline is extremely deep, and from the left eye to the throat, there is a trace of metal filling obviously transformed from a scar. Although his beard and eyebrows are already white, they are extremely tight and thick. It can be seen that although he is old, his strength has not decreased much.
"Yeah? It's Earl Phoenix!"
The lights in the Great Library of the Imperial Capital were quite soft, but as the old man called the Earl of Phoenix turned around, there was a bright and warm feeling spreading. The goblin lady who greeted him looked behind them, and it was obvious that they were Ian and Shuangdie who were with the group of goblins.
"Oh, Mr. Ian...Young alchemy genius, I recognize you. Very good, among the juniors, I can't remember the name, but you are one of them."
He nodded slightly, making people feel that being remembered by him is an honor in itself.
But Ian didn't think it was arrogance.
Because he is very clear that the other party's original intention of saying this is not to sell the old, but to honestly express his feelings-Ian's name is pronounced among the nobles and the messy young generation in the imperial capital. The simplest one, of course, the elderly can remember it after listening to it once.
As for why he thinks that the Earl actually has such a weird way of thinking
Isn't that simple?
Because Earl Phoenix is of the blood of a fairy!
The real name of Earl Phoenix is Lazel Kirchnev. His ancestors were from Yanjiang. His ancestors were captured by the Heavenly Royal Court as slaves during the journey to Falling Star City. In the battle of the Royal Court of Heaven, the rebellion succeeded, leading a group of slave troops to revolt, and finally became the military nobleman of the empire.
The first Earl of Phoenix survived thirteen near-death injuries, and finally became the fourth energy level. He lived to be one hundred and thirty-five years old. He is a legendary figure. It is said that he often Shocked by his own deeds, he couldn't understand how he survived in the first place.
[It's unreasonable, I'm going to die no matter what I do here? Why am I still alive? ] It is said that these are the original words of the first Earl of Phoenix. Looking at the crystal video of his battles in the past, he felt like a made-up story: [I will definitely be considered bragging if I write it like this, do you want it? Help me change it, make it reasonable, so that people in the future will not say that I am a guy who only knows how to brag]
[My lord, what is unreasonable about what you have personally experienced...] His subordinates and descendants were helpless: [Although it is indeed unreasonable, such things can be written down, and no one will I think it’s bragging—it’s too much bragging]
【But it is still a bit outrageous, you see, my heart was pierced by a sneak attack with a magic gun, and it shattered and exploded! How on earth did I survive? At that time, I passed out and felt like I was dead]
【My lord, you are of the blood of a fairy, and your heart can be exchanged, and the reason why you are the Earl of Phoenix is not because you always survived catastrophe? 】
Although the Earl of Phoenix of this generation is somewhat inferior to the legendary ancestors, his achievements are quite dazzling-he protected the Great Library of the Imperial Capital by himself during the turmoil of the Dark Moon, and repelled seven waves of different people. The secret looting and burning behavior of the forces is one of the biggest evidences of the participation of other countries in addition to the internal forces of the empire in the Dark Moon Turmoil.
In addition, Earl Phoenix himself is also a bachelor who graduated from the Academy of Truth. He loves books and is keen to collect all kinds of precious books to fill his private library.
Earl Phoenix himself is a very talkative old man, and he is very happy to meet Ian, a junior who can finally remember his name for the first time, and he and Mo Feng, a book fairy, are naturally friends who have known each other many years ago, and they often drink together Chat over tea and sharply comment on some classics and new books.
According to the gossip that Hua An quietly told Ian, when the Earl of Phoenix was young, he also pursued the bachelor from Falling Star City who was stationed in the imperial capital before Mofeng, but unfortunately he failed in the end.
As for the reason, it is very strange. According to the original words, the reason why the elf refused was because, "Earl Phoenix, you are a fire elf, and I am a rock elf. There is nothing combustible between us."
Although this reason is weird, Earl Phoenix's attempt to redeem is even more important, 'Who said that! Aren't sulfur, coal and oil all terrestrial combustibles? My love for you is like a flame that never goes out! '.
It is said that when the words of love were spoken, the other elves and humans who were watching were shocked, but the elf who was pursued declined after being shocked and moved for a short time.
She said, 'Do you think I stink like sulfur? Or is it as black as coal oil? '. After choking Earl Phoenix with these words, the senior goblin went back to Falling Star City and changed into a beautiful boy's body, and Mo Feng took over and came to the imperial capital until now.
It's not that Earl Phoenix is annoying, to be honest, he has a good personality, and all the goblins like him very much.
Besides, the Earl's way of speaking is a bit too strange even for a goblin.
After being hurt by this feeling, the Earl, like an ordinary earl, married a noble daughter of the imperial capital and had a son, and also devoted himself more to academic research.
"I see, this is the first time I come to the Great Library, do you want to see the collection of books in the imperial capital?"
After knowing the purpose of Mo Feng and Hua An bringing Ian Shuangdie to the library, the old man stroked his beard, laughed and said, "Leave after reading two books? My vision is a little low! You are lucky to meet me this time, young man from the countryside, I will take you to see what is the most precious treasure in the imperial capital!"
Although it may sound a bit sarcastic, Ian can tell that Earl Phoenix is sincere and purely kind. He just wants to take Ian to see the world and show off his achievements in front of the newcomers.
Old people, it's normal. In addition, Ian vaguely guessed where the other party wanted to take him, so it was naturally impossible to refuse.
"Thank you very much, Earl, it is indeed my honor to meet you."
As a junior, he said respectfully, which made Earl Phoenix laugh: "Indeed! Today is your honored day!"
...The young man probably knows why Earl Phoenix was rejected by that goblin lady.
Even among the elves, Earl Phoenix's character is too 'sincere', but it's not a big problem, after all, Terra is not such an idiot, so I have to comment on whether the way of speaking of a fourth-level nobleman is suitable etiquette.
—Are you a fourth energy level or am I a fourth energy level? Need you to teach me how nobles speak?
Although the words are strange, the old man is indeed a friendly and good senior, especially Ian is also of the blood of the goblin, and his development is very balanced, which made the old earl highly appreciate it, and angrily scolded himself, his son, his own The grandchildren are all idiots who can't grasp the essence of the goblin's blood, and each of them has cultivated into a human being with the power of a goblin, but they have not really improved their own life essence.
Yes, he even scolded himself, so that except for Mo Feng and Hua An who would hum a few times in reply, Ian and the Earl's two attendants remained silent, and even Frost Butterfly did not fly. Instead, sit on Ian's shoulders.
Frost Butterfly: (0x0)
The young man and the two attendants exchanged glances, their eyes were full of sympathy and understanding, while the attendants' expressions were full of calm and numbness.
However, although the earl speaks very loudly, he does have a lot of friends. One of the reasons is that everyone can hear his sincerity. In addition, he is indeed very generous.
Just like now, he directly brought Ian to the 'Precious and Rare Copy Collection Room' of the Imperial Capital Library.
