  Chapter 520 Earl of Phoenix (23)

   "Miss Mofeng? And Miss Huaan? 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—this old man has a very deep profile, From his left eye to his 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. Coupled with his tall and straight figure, he can be seen completely Although he is old, his strength has not decreased much.

   "Huh? 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, and the pair of red eyes swept across the two and greeted him Miss Goblin, looked behind them, it was obviously Ian and Shuangdie who were with this group of goblins.

   "Oh, Mr. Ian...Young alchemy genius, I recognize you. Very good, among the juniors I have few names that I can remember, and 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 knew very well that the other party's intention in saying this was not to sell the old, but to honestly express his feelings - Ian's name is the easiest to pronounce among the nobles and the messy young generation in the imperial capital, Of course, the elderly can remember it after listening to it once.

  As for why he thinks that this Earl actually has such a weird way of thinking

   Isn't that simple?

  Because Earl Phoenix is ​​of fairy blood!

Earl Phoenix's real name is Lazer Kirchnev, and his ancestors were from Yanjiang. His ancestors were captured by the people of the Heavenly Royal Court as slaves during the journey to the Falling Star City, and then they became slaves in the Empire and the Heavenly Royal Court. He succeeded in the rebellion in the battle, led 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. The deeds were frightening, and I couldn't figure out how I 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. When he watched the crystal video of his battles in the past, he felt like a made-up story: [If I write it like this, it will definitely be considered bragging, do you want it? Help me to change it, make it reasonable, so that people in the future will not say that I am a guy who can only brag]

[My lord, what is unreasonable about what you have personally experienced...] His subordinates and descendants were helpless: [Although it is indeed unreasonable, but such things can be written down, and no one will think it is bragging - Bragging is too much]

  【But it’s 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 fell into a coma 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 robbery from different forces. The act of plundering and burning 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 Rebellion.

  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 was very happy to meet Ian, a junior who could finally remember his name for the first time. Naturally, he and Mo Feng, a book fairy, were also friends who had known each other many years ago, and they often drank tea and chatted together. Sharp reviews of certain classics and new books.

  According to the gossip that Hua An quietly told Ian, when Earl Phoenix was young, he also pursued the Bachelor of Falling Star City who was stationed in the imperial capital before Mofeng, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

  As for the reason, it’s very weird. 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 no flammable element between us’.

  Although this reason is weird, Earl Phoenix’s attempt to redeem the words is even more heavyweight ‘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. The reason for rejecting him is that they simply didn’t see the right way.

  And the Earl's way of speaking is a bit too weird 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 children, and also devoted himself more to academic research.

   "I see, this is the first time you 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! I count you lucky, 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 little ironic, 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.

   It's normal for the elderly. 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 a fool, insisting on commenting on whether the way a fourth-level nobleman speaks is in accordance with etiquette.

  —Are you a 4th or am I a 4th? Need you to teach me how nobles speak?

Although he spoke strangely, the old man is indeed a friendly and good senior, especially Ian is also of goblin blood, and his development is very balanced. They are some idiots who can't grasp the essence of the goblin's bloodline, 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 stopped flying. It was sitting on Ian's shoulders.

   Frost Butterfly: (0x0)

  The young man and the two attendants exchanged glances, the 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 many 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 unique collection room" of the Imperial Capital Library.
