Life in a different world begins with hidden strength

Chapter 38 I will be an elder

Two o'clock in the afternoon, the conference room on the first floor of the Langton family residence in the royal capital.

There were as many as twenty-three young people from the direct and collateral families, sitting at the long table according to their seniority. What they have in common is that they are students of Violet Academy.

Mi Jia'an sat at the end of the direct line in the front row, looking listless and holding his face with one hand.

Sitting at the main seat was a spirited old man. He has a head full of gray hair and a long white beard close to twenty centimeters. He has a walnut-colored staff leaning on his shoulder.

Lowe, the family elder, is the actual controller of the mansion at No. 17 Elm Street. Aged one hundred and thirty-four years old, even the contemporary Earl of Langton, Tyron, still calls him uncle. Not only is he senior, but his strength has already reached a super level sixty years ago, and now it is even more unfathomable. It is rumored that there is a super shadow bloodline that is stronger than the higher bloodline, and is regarded by the outside world as one of the Langton family's heritage.

The old man coughed lightly, his faint spiritual field spread, and all the sounds in the conference room disappeared.

"Children, your scores have been sent to me by the college via letter. Please take them and take a look..."

The inscription on the space ring worn by Elder Luo Wei on his right index finger lit up slightly, and a stack of beautifully wrapped letters appeared on the table in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a paper crane with wings and flew to everyone's seat.

The old man has a childlike innocence, and Mi Jiaan can see at a glance that it is just an ordinary mage moving objects with his hands, combined with the use of illusion.

These little tricks can fool ordinary people at best, but are of no use to some spellcasters. He took out the letter casually and glanced at it briefly. As expected, except for the general knowledge exam, all the other exams were excellent.

The teacher left comments and suggestions at the end: Your understanding of basic knowledge is not comprehensive enough. Please take up relevant courses as soon as possible during the winter vacation.

One semester is four months, and Mi Jiaan was absent for almost three and a half months.

Speaking of the reason for temporarily enrolling in school, it was just because he felt that his family's library knowledge could no longer support his future path. He made a temporary decision to come to the royal capital thousands of miles away for further study. With his identity as a spell caster and his family's recommendation letter, he was successfully admitted to school. Many unexpected incidents occurred on the way to the academy, which delayed a lot of time. However, not all was lost during this period.

Mi Jiaan gained Appan's recognition and allegiance.

"You have all seen your achievements!" Elder Luo Wei looked around the audience, and finally stopped meaningfully on Mi Jia'an's face: "Excellent talents, the family does not hesitate to allocate resources to further cultivate them. I would like to focus on praising Luo here. Grams and Hardaway, your rankings have improved significantly. Keep working hard. As long as you get a place to enter the knight department next semester, the family will find ways to help you become real knights."

The two young men from the collateral branch looked happy and quickly stood up to thank Elder Luo Wei for his kindness.

"Then, Mijaan! Brian mentioned to me that your swordsmanship talent is quite good and you can further your studies. What do you think?" Lovi asked, stroking his long white beard.

"That's not my ambition." Mi Jia'an shook his head and refused.

"Very good!" Luo Wei nodded gently: "With your current conditions, there is actually another way to choose. Please stay later."

The meeting lasted for more than half an hour.

Elder Lowe listened carefully to everyone's appeals and generously gave gifts. Mi Jia'an's gift was the most valuable of all, and it was a golden pocket watch.

"When there are dark creatures around, someone shows malice, or exerts some spiritual means, the pocket watch will automatically heat up. You can use it to check the time. If you are interested, you can study the inscriptions on it. It is said to come from the long-standing Mogul Dynasty. ."

Everyone present could feel Elder Lowe's extra importance to Mi Jia'an.

He told the reason calmly: "Children, I know what you are thinking? Mi Jia'an is one of the few people in our Langton family who has awakened the ability to cast spells. He is also a direct descendant of the contemporary lord. He will inevitably assume more responsibilities in the future. What you have to do is not to be jealous, but to accommodate and protect them as much as possible. Every spell caster is an important heritage of the family..."

After Luo Wei finished speaking, he nodded slightly to signal the dissolution of the meeting. In a blink of an eye, Mi Jiaan was left alone.

"Elder, what do you want from me?" the black-haired boy asked straight to the point.

"If you choose to become a magic swordsman, you will surely gain more glory and glory in the future, and even be nominated as the heir to the title. Of course, the other path is equally bright and safer for you." Luo Wei paused. , prepared the next words: "You are now in a more suitable position and can inherit my position. There are only those spellcasters in the family, and there are not many options."

"You mean that I become an elder? Give up your current position to me?" Mi Jia'an sounded in disbelief, trying to confirm.

"I am very old, and I will definitely give up my position in the future. Of course, it is not now. You are not capable enough. It may take five to ten years to practice. At least until you graduate from the academy.

I will announce to the public that you are my chosen heir. Then, improve your rights and benefits. "Lovi took out the tea cup from the space ring and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"I don't understand, why did you choose me?" Mi Jia'an pretended to be confused.

"Child, you are hiding your strength..." Elder Luo Wei smiled kindly.

"I do have reservations." Mi Jiaan admitted frankly.

"Normally speaking, it is impossible for non-attribute spellcasters to reach your level. Their attack spells are pitifully weak, and it is difficult to exceed the energy level of ten degrees. It is even less possible to cast extremely difficult rejuvenation spells. Unless he is born with it. Awakened people have several times more meditation time than those who are awakened the day after tomorrow..." Luo Wei spoke firmly and stood up with his staff: "Your parents are not spell casters, so they may not notice anything abnormal about you. You show your spell casting ability. When I was young, the earliest was at the age of three..."

"I am a spellcaster with no attributes, and my future potential is limited." Mi Jia'an did not shy away from his shortcomings.

"There is no need to belittle yourself, your current essential mental power should be stronger than that of Alicia." Lovi smiled and concluded: "I know the secret technique of breath sensing. If you want to learn it, I can teach you."

"Is there any secret technique to hide one's own strength?" Mi Jia'an asked eagerly.

"Of course." Luo Wei replied affirmatively: "I am responsible for the truly important inheritance of the family. As long as you want to learn, I can teach you everything unconditionally. Also, your non-attribute physique is not necessarily a bad thing. I I can tell you a secret. The earliest spell casters all had non-attribute physiques."
