Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 87 Leave
"He really told you that?"

In the hall, Earl Thorne looked at Daru in front of him, with astonishment written all over his face.

If you are an ordinary person, then you can just choose your own preferences when it comes to adopting a child.

But not Daru.

As Count Thorne's most valued child, he must let Count Thorne know about adopting a child.

After Earl Thorne learned about this, his initial reaction was one of shock.

He couldn't believe Katim would do this.

After defeating the coalition of nobles and dividing the land, Katim's power was at its peak.

Even Earl Thorne must avoid its edge.

To put it bluntly, as long as Katim is willing, it is not impossible to get a glimpse of Earl Nun's location.

The threat from Katim is greater than that of the previous coalition of nobles.

The previous coalition of nobles could not replace Earl Thorne and could only threaten, but Katim could do it.

With the strength of the great knight, and the power that had annexed most of the lords at this moment, even if Katim rushed directly to kill Earl Thorne, no one dared to say anything.

But he just didn't do that.

Normal people in Katim's position would want to pry into higher status and power, but Katim is so good that he actually stepped down from the position of lord and wanted to give up the title to his adopted son.

It is also incredible to give up the title to his adopted son at such a young age instead of giving it to his own child.

You know, Katim is only 16 years old now.

The adopted son Hemu he adopted was not even a few years younger than Katim.

In this case, is he really ready to leave?

Earl Thorne recalled the news sent by Katim, and felt that the amount of information was so great that his mind was a little overwhelmed.

"Is he really ready to leave?"

Earl Thorn looked at Daru and asked.

"If nothing else, it should be."

Daru nodded, with a look of hesitation on his face.

Earl Thorne saw his hesitation, so he continued to ask: "Do you know anything else?"

"Of course, if he has told you not to leak it, then there is no need to say it."

"No, no."

Daru shook his head and hesitated before opening his mouth to explain.

He told about the previous dealings between Katim and Sean, as well as all the speculations he had made before.

Earl Thorne's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt a little enlightened.

"So, he handed over his title to his adopted son in order to go to Llane."

Earl Thorne's tone was a bit complicated: "Such a knight genius actually still aspires to become a wizard."

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Katim is an out-and-out genius.

Becoming a knight at the age of 16 is already an amazing achievement. It is an absolute genius. Even if you search the entire kingdom, you can't find many.

And the 16-year-old knight is even more of a myth.

The Kingdom of Meishen has existed for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that it will not be able to find many geniuses who can compare with it.

However, such a talented person actually chooses to follow in the footsteps of a wizard. Does he want to go to Lane and become a wizard?

"Right."

After thinking for a long time, Earl Thorne sighed: "He is still young, far from being comparable to us old guys."

"The power of the great knight is far from satisfying him."

"But in this way, his entrustment is a great thing for you and our entire family."

He looked at Daru in front of him and spoke softly: "Do you understand the key to this?"

"I see."

Daru nodded: "Making Hemu my adopted son means that the Kumu family will maintain a good relationship with us in the future. We can use the Kuma family to continue to maintain the balance of this area and maintain our position."

"For the Kuma family, this can also maintain its position. With our support, Hemu will grow up in the future. Even if it does not have the power of Katim, it will be enough to secure its position."

"It's a win-win situation."

he concluded.

"That's just for the family."

Earl Thorn shook his head: "If it's just for this, wouldn't it be better if he could just hand over the curtain to me and become my adopted son directly?"

"The reason why he handed over Hemu to you is not only for the future of the Kuma family, but also for you."

"for me?"

Daru was stunned for a moment. He was about to speak, but he seemed to think of something again and couldn't help but fell silent.

"Your position within the family is not stable."

Earl Thorne smiled: "But after this incident, there will be no doubt about your future status."

There is no harmony within any family.

The same is naturally true for the Thorne family.

There is also a fight within the Thorne family for the position of heir.

Although Daru is Earl Thorne's favorite child, he is still far from becoming the future heir of the Thorne family.

But now, with Katim's operation and the endorsement of the Kumar family, there will be no hesitation in Daru's future heir position.

As Hemu's adoptive father, behind him will stand the power of the entire Kuma family.

Even Earl Thorne himself must be cautious when facing this kind of support, let alone others. "Mr. Katim"

Daru thought of this, and thought of the time Katim saved him before, and his mood couldn't help but become heavier at this moment.

This debt seems to be owed more and more.

"how do you feel?"

While Earl Thorne and his son were discussing, Katim was also busy with his own affairs.

In a spacious hall, he set up the ceremony and put the curtain aside.

"It feels a little warm."

Hemu said, moving his arms from time to time: "There seems to be something running around inside my body, and my body seems to have become stronger."

"That's right."

Katim smiled and said, "Have a good sleep. When you wake up, the ceremony should be over."

"Uh-huh."

Hemu nodded seriously, and then quickly couldn't help but fall asleep.

With a child's physique suddenly bearing such a huge vitality, it is indeed easy for people to feel lethargic.

That's right, what Katim was operating at the moment was none other than the ritual of life.

Taking advantage of the gap before leaving, he caught a few wild beasts, used the life ritual to transform the vitality, and instilled it into Hemu.

This is to lay a good foundation.

After all, He Mu was also his chosen successor, so it might not be a bad thing if he was too weak.

This world is not like the previous life. The mortality rate of children is very high. If you don't find a way to strengthen He Mu, he may die before he grows up.

Instilling vitality through life rituals can strengthen their physique in a short period of time and lay a good foundation for them.

In this case, his promotion to knight will be much smoother in the future.

Of course, the possibility of the Great Knight is very small.

That level cannot be broken through by just instilling a little vitality. It depends more on himself.

After a while, as Hemu fell into a deep sleep, the ceremony came to an end.

Katim also almost stopped.

"It's almost to the level of an apprentice."

Katim checked Hemu's condition, and then nodded involuntarily.

After several indoctrination in life rituals, Hemu's physical condition has become very good, and he is now close to the strength of an apprentice.

This level is pretty good, at least for a ten-year-old child.

As long as two years pass, when his body has almost grown and his physical fitness has grown naturally, he will naturally reach the level of an elite apprentice.

As for when he can become a knight in the future, it depends on him.

Anyway, Katim has already created the conditions for him.

Katim also prepared more than one copy of the Knight's Breathing Technique.

Not only He Mu, but others also had corresponding breathing methods left behind.

Even for Malo, a half-orc, Katim customized it for him. By modifying and integrating other breathing methods, he created a breathing method that half-orcs can also practice.

It can also be regarded as a reward for his faithful service in the past.

Katim is quite generous when it comes to treating his subordinates, and will give them satisfactory rewards as long as they are willing to do things.

Even Sembu, a knight apprentice who had followed him for a short time, was now a baron and gained a large territory.

Of course, Katim still left the best things to Hemu.

After the ceremony ended, Katim did not continue, but silently picked up Hemu, placed him beside the bed, and then left.

Walking out of the door, he saw Daru outside.

Daru seemed to have been standing here for a long time. At this moment, he saw Katim walking out and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

"You don't need to say more if it's unnecessary."

Katim seemed to know what he wanted to say, so he smiled and said in advance: "Take good care of this child for me is the best thank you to me."

"Yes, please rest assured."

Daru swallowed what he wanted to say and faced Katim's gaze, his face becoming extremely solemn: "I swear on the name of the Thorne family that as long as I am still alive, I will protect this child."

His tone was sincere, with a firmness in his words.

And based on his character, since he said this, there is a high probability that he can do it.

Compared to Katim, Daru's character is much more pure, and he is an upright and brave knight.

Katim smiled and didn't say much. He just took Daru aside and guided him on some questions.

This is the guidance of a great knight, which is a precious enough experience for any knight.

Daru studied very seriously.

The night passed and Katim officially began to say goodbye.

Despite his noble status, Katim didn't carry much with him when he left now, he just went on the road alone.

When he left, Daru was the only one who came to see him off.

After Hemu woke up, he cried for a long time after learning the news of Katim's departure.

Other than that, not much seems to have changed in the land.

Everything is still running according to the rules of the past.

In the wind and rain, only one pedestrian continued to move forward.
