Mr.
Joshua, here I am. ” He saluted the gray-robed man as respectfully as he could, and Tang Yi stood behind him.
Snowflakes whistled through the window, and Joshua turned and looked at him for a few moments, then a soft smile on his face.
"You may be seated, Mr.
Rezaduk, uh, I think it might be better to call you that now."
"Call me Al if you want."
Tang Yi nodded.
"Heh, you know I don't mean that."
Joshua smiled and sat down on the cold stone bench opposite, there was nothing on the stone table, he put his hands up, revealing his slender fingers, "You admit it or deny it, second brother, I think I have to apologize for what happened seventeen years ago first." ” Tang Yi showed a puzzled look on his face: "Mr.
Joshua, what did you say?"
"I said it, if you deny it, Mr.
Resarduk, you will listen to the next words as a story, cough, cough" He covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughing constantly, but the faint smile in his eyes was very determined, Tang Yi looked out the window, the snow was blowing one after another, as if to submerge the whole world into some kind of eternal memory.
"Seventeen years ago, a fire destroyed most of the buildings in Quinn Castle, and all you see now is a replica of the restored fortress as much as possible, although it was restored according to the original memory, and most of it is gone.
For example, there is a slightly lower platform directly opposite here, where we used to have a lot of magical fireworks, like the basement where it was originally located.
In the western corner of the Inner Castle, it takes a special magic spell to open, where Rebias and I once confronted the necromancer, and now we can't find it.
The traces of the past can be erased, but some things cannot be erased, such as guilt and memory, which may only disappear until death.
Joshua sighed softly, "There is an elder in my life that I respect and admire.
That's my father, and there's a brother I'm in awe, and that's my second brother, because I know.
I'll never be able to surpass him in this life."
"Most of the people in the Ifrit family have a very strange, perhaps hopeless, property, that we can respect and affirm our elders who are more powerful than us, and we can love and appreciate the younger ones with our lives, but in any case.
We cannot give recognition and admiration to our contemporaries.
In a sense, this may be due to the overly biased pride of the Ifrites, who are hardly friends of our age.
They are all adversaries or enemies.
I didn't, I might say, until now. among peers.
There's no reason why I would lose to anyone.
That's it," he paused, then shook his head abruptly.
"If there had not been such a boring pride, I think the tragedy of seventeen years ago must have been avoidable."
"Since childhood, my second brother Gabriel may have been a more unusual existence of the Ifrites.
How can I say it, he is very beautiful, prettier and cuter than everyone else" Joshua smiled, Gabriel condensed a deep sense of powerlessness in Tang Yi's heart, it was obvious that he was quite unacceptable to this evaluation.
However, perhaps because of the existence of this appearance, the things that the second brother has pursued since he was a child are very different from us.
While each of us is immersed in the practice of martial arts or magic, he is keen on the research of every legend, the study of music or the collection of a large number of strange leaves, it is precisely because of this, from childhood to adulthood, he has always been liked by everyone, all the brothers are closer to him, even the deepest secrets in the heart, can also be unscrupulously narrated to him, in the Yfrit family, to have such a family affection, is really a very precious thing.
Joshua looked away and smiled.
In a sense, despite having the extreme personality that geniuses are used to, as a member of the Ifrit family, everyone has a fairly clear understanding of themselves.
Knowing what kind of person you are, what strengths and weaknesses you have, and rationalizing these strengths and weaknesses to the greatest extent is the training that every person in the Efrit family has since childhood.
In such a situation, everyone carefully cherishes this hard-won family affection.
In some ways, this kind of thing did make Degabriel's life quite easy, but on the other hand, it also caused great obstacles to certain things.
More than 20 years ago, when the sixteen-year-old Gabriel was about to leave the imperial capital to try the wandering practice that every Yfrit family would have, he was opposed by almost everyone, because at that time, Gabriel's swordsmanship cultivation had not even exceeded the third level, and in the imperial capital and the city of kings and snakes, he could easily take him down by finding a person on the street almost casually.
However, despite being hindered by all his brothers and sisters, Gabriel, who was carrying a burden and not even a sword, embarked on a journey on his own, and this time lasted seven years.
Seven years is the highest record for the children of the Ifrit family to go out, Gabriel's journey has traveled all over the continent, from St.
Iro, the city of light, to Santoia, the land of creation, from the shield of the strongest fortress, Seringa, to the free city of Kakalis, from the easternmost burning island of the continent to the barbarian land in the south, turning back to Danma, and finally returning to the imperial capital.
A long letter every year, describing what he saw and experienced everywhere, he was not strong enough to earn travel expenses as a troubadour or temporary mercenary, collecting leaves everywhere, visiting famous musicians, most of the time people can feel the embarrassment and dust behind the letters, but for this kind of life, which may not be called "strong", Joshua and others have it for the first time Yearning, even the always serious Bakna Rorschach smiled involuntarily when reading these letters, and even said on some occasions that this may be the child he is most proud of.
His father's praise in this respect did not arouse the envy of the people, and when seven years had passed, Gabriel returned from a long journey, except for the dust of his servants and the wisdom and vicissitudes of life that had been precipitated.
In many ways, he still loves to laugh, can easily mingle with everyone, listens patiently to others, and gives appropriate answers at the right time.
At that time, the Ifrit family, whose power was still at the third level of the lower rank, became the object of affection of all the brothers, and as for the other two families, there were also many people who regarded him as confidants and friends, and beyond that.
There are even more aristocratic girls who have a crush on or even a clear love for this beautiful man.

The turning point of the matter originated from one of the countless aristocratic banquets held in the imperial capital that summer, at that time.
Gabriel's love affair with a commoner woman named Ra has spread throughout the aristocratic circles, although there are some rumors that the woman named Barbara has royal blood, but her personality and demeanor do not have the slightest aristocratic atmosphere.
He is quite accomplished in a kind of earth demon martial art called "Soft Water Knife", and often teaches some bullying young nobles in the imperial capital.
Such a thing is certainly loud in the eyes of the common people, but in the aristocratic circles, it is undoubtedly a symbol of barbarism.
In this matter, many people expressed their disapproval of Gabriel.
But without exception, he waved and laughed.
"How far away is death, how far away, that's my woman, it's your business.
Speak ill of her in front of me.
Do you want to duel with me, honestly.
She's been beating that viscount very badly lately, remember to help me see it next time."
Gabriel can be liked by everyone.
Of course, it is not because he is a simple good gentleman, but in many ways he shows the sharpness and self-style, which is also what people appreciate.
In this way, the words will not be offensive, but will be more intimate.
In the aristocratic circles, although there is a sense of respect for ladies, concepts such as "brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes" permeate the whole way, and Barbara's actions become tolerable compared to her friendship with Gabriel.
At that time, an incident planned by several young nobles who were resentful after being taught a lesson made everyone truly understand Gabriel's true strength.
It's not a novelty story, in the Atroca Empire, the change of emperors of each generation is almost accompanied by a lot of blood and chaos, the winner is king, and the loser has a different fate, those who were beheaded by the whole family, those who were placed under house arrest for life, and those who were wanted by the whole country, and Ra, who has the blood of the emperor, is the orphan of a certain usurper and a loser in the previous dynasty of the empire.
When such a thing is discovered, and then it is made public at a banquet by a noble woman who loves and hates Gabriel, and in a moment things become chaotic.
At that time, the woman was not only a very important person, but also had a lot of suitors because of her extraordinary beauty, and at the same time, not all of the three major families regarded Gabriel as a friend.
At that time, if the person who made the announcement of this matter had been of low status and relied on the power of the Ifrites, Gabriel could have easily suppressed the matter and said, "There is no such thing."
But because it made waves and had considerable influence, later, the whole banquet was split into two factions, and for a while, the tension was almost like a group fight.
If this matter is said to be large, it can be classified as a situation that affects the foundation of the entire empire, and if it is said to be small, it can also be regarded as a false rumor.
At that time, the people who participated in the banquet had a very important identity, and in a sense, it was a microcosm of Atroca's future, so in the end, the solution could be considered private, and one person from each side came out to duel.
The other party sent a guard with medium cultivation, and on this side, it was Barbara who insisted on "one person doing things and one person doing" to make a move, because Barbara was higher than the other party in the evaluation of strength, and no one stopped the matter.
At that time, people seemed to underestimate the jealousy of the woman, and when the battle was halfway through, the woman on the other side who was jealous and hated suddenly poisoned, and at the same time sent two guards with eighth-level cultivation to kill Barbara with lightning speed.
In a hurry, seeing that Rabara was in danger, no one here reacted, and after a while, the person who saved Barbara was Gabriel, who had cultivated to a "lowly".
The king snake Qingqing, whose strength was only at the third level, calmly stabbed out, Gabriel protected Barbara behind him in an instant, and the long sword was in the air in an extremely magical way, and the three guards and the noble woman attacked at the same time, but it became a situation of mutual interference.
When the sword flashed, the blood spilled into the air.
One of the three guards had his head cut open, one had his chest torn apart, and the other had the consequences of being cut in half, and in a bloody and horrific scene, Gabriel, who was spitting blood, stabbed the noble woman's shoulder with his sword and nailed it to the trunk of a huge tree.
"Well, the one who interfered in the Holy Duel, we have the right to take her life, right?"
At the time.
Gabriel said this softly, drawing his sword from her shoulder and stabbing it in the chest, when several guards rushed up to stop her.
However, with only the strength of the king snake of the highland, with the precision of the ghost and god, after a while, these guards all ended up with broken hands and feet.
If it weren't for pulling the ground to stop it.
No one would have doubted that Gabriel would stab the woman to death with a sword in the style of the Serpent clan.
Things are now understood, The clan girl went crazy after that, but Gabriel's reputation suddenly resounded throughout the whole snake Qing is a calculating martial art, theoretically speaking.
If you cultivate it to the highest realm, you will be able to perceive all flaws and use the smallest amount of strength.
Achieve maximum results.
What Gabriel did.
Bucknar Rorschach may be able to do the same.
But in this way, Gabriel didn't have the cultivation of Bakna Rorschach After that.
Gabriel was invited to battle by countless people, and in the few battles that Gabriel promised to fight, he achieved brilliant victories with low and pitiful strength.
In the winter of that year, at a family feast belonging to the Efritan family, Gabriel also engaged in a friendly match with several of his brothers, so to speak, but in such a battle, as is customary, neither side of the Ifritan blood would easily admit defeat, and once the battle was fought, it must be as if it were a life-and-death struggle, and after a few battles, Gabriel won one after another, but was also seriously wounded.
After recovering from his injury, he seemed to suddenly notice something, and he held a simple wedding with Barbara, and then said goodbye to his father, left the imperial capital to settle in Danma, and did not return to the city of King Snake for the next year.
A year after their marriage, the couple gave birth to a child named Felix.
After that, Gabriel kept a low profile, living an almost semi-secluded life with Barbara in Danma, returning to the City of the King Snake once a year to attend a family feast.

Three years later, in the winter, shortly after Felix's third birthday, the couple quarreled over some trivial matters, in fact, the quarrel between the two has always been a bedside quarrel and the end of the bed, but this time it seems that Gabriel left Damma and went to Quinnburg to set up some things, and then met more than ten people belonging to the three major families who came to Quinnburg to watch the magic tide, and then, fell into that disaster and died to save everyone.
"Do you remember the dinner party that year I was the third person to fight with you, you may have forgotten, but my image is very profound, at that time I thought that even though the moves were exquisite, the sword without power could not damage the strong defense, so I imitated the power of the dragon body of the king armor to fight with you, and there were still people who cheered for me at that time, but then you easily broke it, it was the method you broke the rock mass this morning, with the help of the power of the contributor's own strength, with accurate calculations, let the blade counterattack itself, and the power hit the balance point of the body's strength, Instantly minimizes defenses" "In those few years, you may not know in Danma, in the imperial capital, you have long been said to be the same as your father, showing your invincible posture after washing away the lead, and his wife withdrawing from seclusion, how free and easy Father is also proud of you, when he talks about you again and again, but we can no longer be completely happy for you, of course, it is not jealousy, but we can't surpass you, this everyone understands" "When I met you again that year at Queensburg, some people were excited and some were happy, but everyone had the mentality of wanting to compete with you, but when a challenge was raised, you said that you only came to do something to please your wife, and refused all the fighting.
Later, no one may have found out the clues of the matter, but because you were the first warning, everyone was very tacitly silent, not everyone did not believe you, no one dared to take your warning, but at that time, more than ten people were not weak in their cultivation, and there was not much sense of crisis, so they all used this as a stage for the competition, and since then, it has caused a situation where they are fighting for each other and dragging each other's feet.
"But at the last moment, someone betrayed you, it wasn't me, all these years, I wanted to check this matter, the magic tide seven and a half years ago, due to the wrong time, the photo circle you left did not work, but something strange happened, a few people died, one went crazy, he said he saw you, at that time I was thinking, people with particularly high mental power, through some special conditions, will become undead after death, with the help of the power of the magic tide, Do you also exist in this world in this form, now it seems that second brother, I am afraid that I really expected this matter."
With his head down, Joshua's voice was hoarse, obviously he had already determined that Tang Yi was implicated with Gabriel, and the spirit in his body did not react, but Tang Yi also knew that it was redundant to refute at this moment, so he had to listen to him.
"This magic tide, the magic circle you have set up will work, and everything from seventeen years ago will be restored, and when the time comes, you may be able to find out everything buried seventeen years ago, and I think there will be people who don't want things to happen again.
I did some preparation, but as I had done at the beginning, I didn't know if it was enough.
Second brother, don't believe me, and don't believe that the Rebias army has come, I'll go to meet you. ” He stood up, nodded to Tang Yi, and then walked directly towards the staircase, after a while, the sound of footsteps disappeared into the deep corridor, Tang Yi looked down from the window, only to see a few magic flowers rising into the sky in the wind and snow, the horn sounded solemnly, and a pair of knights were entering through the gate of the fortress.
Gabriel's voice sounded in his heart: "Mr.
Resaduk. ” "Hmm" "Tell me about Felix and Barbara."
"Of course."
In fact, since Gabriel and Fang entered the body, Tang Yi has been wondering why Gabriel has not asked about these two people since he said, except for the first time when Gabriel said: "You know Felix", but at this moment, feeling Gabriel's mood, he suddenly understood a little, it was not that he didn't want to, but he just didn't dare to think about it.
Once you start thinking about it, how long these seventeen years of life will become:
