I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 18
Dante and his younger brother, Goethe, are half-brothers, and they are slightly different from other normal families in the Heissant Commonwealth.

Both of them bear their mother's family name.

I remember that because of this incident, the original body's mother had a lot of quarrels with the stepfather, and it was not for other reasons. The stepfather insisted that both children should inherit his surname, so that the young Dante would not be allowed to live in the same name. The wrong idea arises in my heart, thinking that I do not belong to this family.

But my mother was very persistent, and she was extremely stubborn in this matter, and she always let Dante inherit the family name of Ashburn.

Later, her stepfather couldn't hold her back and decided to let both children follow their mother's surname. It has to be said that such a concession was something no one had thought of at the time.

After all, it hasn't been long since the Heissant Federation entered the current system, and the old tradition of paternal surname inheritance is still very strong.

Even though Dante has lost a lot of memory, he still clearly remembers what his mother said to him and his brother Goethe before his death:
"Son, your stepfather has paid a lot for this family. If you find a partner in the future, you must have more children and pass on his surname."

At that time, Dante and Goethe were immersed in the great grief of the death of their biological mother, but they never thought that not long after, their stepfather was shot several times in that mission and unfortunately died.

Since then, the two brothers have completely become orphans.

Fortunately, Dante was not too outrageous at that time. He was working as a part-time student at Yeleidun University and taking care of his underage brother by the way.

Coupled with the one-time pension given by the federal government, he stumbled all the way until Goethe was admitted to the Brook Military Academy.

"Although the original body has many things that people look down upon, at least for this younger brother, he has fulfilled his brother's duty."

After sorting out the memories in his brain, Dante couldn't help sighing.

Now it seems that there was a reason why their mother asked them to insist on their mother's surname.

The Ashburn family doesn't have any well-known figures in the Federation. If it wasn't for the answer he got from the hexagram, he wouldn't have thought about it.

Bloodline is a recognized statement in etherology, but the most accurate basis has not been found yet, but this does not affect people's ability to use it.

Although it is not clear what the blood power of the Ashburn family is, but since they can unlock the secrets of forbidden objects, it will not be so bad no matter how bad they think.

As for whether it might be the influence of the blood power of his biological father, he is not sure. This point can wait until the future, find a suitable and safe opportunity, and verify it through his younger brother Goethe.

After these two hexagrams, Dante already has a general understanding of the scope of events and the size of events that he can calculate through divination.

Often it involves specific things about oneself, and the hexagrams will give a relatively clear answer, but if the level involved is too high, or the content you want to divination is too vague, such as "how to cross over", you will not be able to get the answer .

In the same way, he can divination for specific things such as "why he can open the box", but he cannot directly divination for questions such as "what is the source of his blood power", which can be traced back for many years.

"It should have something to do with the low level of my current special position."

Dante didn't feel discouraged at all. After analyzing and analyzing quietly at home today, he felt that his confidence was much stronger.

Looking at the already dark sky outside, he stood up, stretched himself, and walked slowly back to the bedroom.

"Sleep, I have to go to work tomorrow~"

The next morning.

Dante stood in front of the full-length mirror on the metal base, carefully arranging the collar of his shirt and the cuffs of his suit.

He chose a dark blue double-breasted suit made of cashmere from the bedroom wardrobe today, with a white shirt, tie, and vest inside.

Thanks to Yuan Chen's investment in these areas regardless of cost, the quality of his clothes is often unremarkable.

After looking around in the mirror for a long time, he leaned closer and squeezed his own face. Only then did Dante leave the house contentedly.

Today's Nolan City is a rare good weather. He admired the scenery along the way, his handsome face and decent outfits, and he gained a lot of attention from passers-by.

Facing the envious eyes of passers-by looking at "urban elites" and "handsome gentlemen", Dante was confident and successful, and squeezed onto the public bus leading to Youle Street.

Along the way, he tightly protected the position on his chest, where the inner pocket contained the wallet to be returned to Ivy.

"finally reached."

Dante heaved a sigh of relief and tidied up his suit that was being squeezed. His butt was slapped a few times in the car, but when he looked back, there were only a few middle-aged uncles around him.

He couldn't help shivering, he didn't dare to think anymore, walked to the gate of the villa, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Mr. Dante, good morning."

Ivy did not open the door today as slowly as last time, probably because she had a better rest, and she looked more agile than last time.

"You came so early, haven't you had breakfast yet?" Ivy turned sideways, smiling, "Your outfit today is really handsome."

"On the first day of work, you can't embarrass the action team in terms of image." Dante smiled, "Good morning, Ivy, you look better than the night before."

"When isn't our little Ivy beautiful? A glib kid." Old Tom came out of the kitchen, holding a plate with toast and sausage in his hand.

"You're right." Dante shrugged and agreed with a smile.

Old Tom had been looking at him just now, like a farmer standing in front of his own field, watching the next-door neighbor's pig.

Ivy poked Dante quietly at the side, gave him an understanding look, and then said:

"Come and have dinner together. This morning, Uncle Tom cooks himself. His honey muffins are simply the best breakfast in the world."

"You sit down first, I'll call the captain and the others."

After Ivy finished speaking, she ran upstairs, leaving Dante and Old Tom face to face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Ahem." Dante coughed lightly a few times, feeling that he still had to take the initiative to break the silence. After all, we will be colleagues who get along day and night in the future, and the stereotype should be reversed as soon as possible.

"Speak directly." Old Tom gave him a sideways look, and took a sip of his coffee.

"I know you may not be used to some of my past behaviors, but after going through this time, I have figured out a lot."

Dante considered his words, and continued: "In the future, I still need to ask you and others for advice. I will grow up as soon as possible and integrate into the third action team."

Why is there somehow a prospective son-in-law nervous about seeing his father-in-law? He complained in his heart.

It may be that Dante's attitude is very correct. Although Old Tom is still stern, his tone is better after all.

"It's understandable for young people to be mischievous, but they shouldn't be too mischievous."

The old man paused, glanced at him, and suddenly said angrily:
"Just seeing your face reminds me of some very unpleasant experiences"
