Chapter 84 The Todd Family
Jason on the side couldn't help it anymore, and asked in confusion, "Father, what's going on?"
Old Renault's eyes gradually recovered, and he said to Jason with a trace of memory: "Jason, have you heard of the Todd family?"
"The Todd family?" Jason was stunned and said, "Father, do you mean the Todd family, the largest martial arts family in the kingdom?"
Old Renault nodded, and said, "That's the Todd family, Jason. In fact, your father and I are direct descendants of the Todd family. The current Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom, Duke Leo, the commander of the Kingdom's Command, is your uncle."
The Todd family, the largest military family in the kingdom that Jason mentioned, is the most powerful family of military generals in the Kingdom of Orlando, and one of the three founding heroes of the Kingdom of Orlando. Claire, the founding king of the Kingdom of Orlando, lived in this area where the Kingdom of Orlando is located. When he fought north and south on the land, there were three families who contributed the most to him.
One is the largest business family in the kingdom, the Oliver family, which provided Claire with a lot of materials and financial resources; the other is the Roland family where the current prime minister of the kingdom, Gris, belongs; Todd family.
A look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Jason's face: "Duke Leo is my uncle? Then why are you here, father?" As for his father, he said that he is a direct descendant of the Todd family, and now he has fallen into such a state. To this extent, Jason felt a little unbelievable in his heart.
Old Lei Nuo smiled wryly: "Seventeen years ago, because of one incident, I caused a big enemy to the family. The family had no choice but to expel me from the family, and all my strength was abolished. The name Reynolds Todd shall never be used, and even the names of ancestors shall not be written on the plaques in the ancestral hall."
Speaking of this, old Lei Nuo already had tears in the corners of his eyes, "I am ashamed of you as a father, you could have become a child of a big family, but now..."
"Originally, I thought that if you could reach the sixth-level Venerable Spirit Master in your lifetime, then it would be possible to return to the family, but when you were born, I once tested your blood concentration, and your family's blood concentration has reached a hundred. More than fifty percent."
"In other families, the higher the blood concentration, the more they can practice the family's secret skills, and the greater the benefits of cultivation, but in our family, it's strange to say that the children whose blood concentration reaches more than 50% in Orlando In the hundreds of years of history since the founding of the Kingdom, there have been six in total, with an average of one appearing every hundred years, but none of them can reach the first-level spiritual disciple, two are stuck at the seventh level of spiritual power, and three are stuck at the spiritual level. At the eighth level of spiritual power, there is another one who is stuck at the ninth level of spiritual power. Throughout their lives, these six people have not reached the first level."
Old Renault looked at Jason, and continued: "I tested your blood concentration back then and found that you had reached more than 50%, so I didn't report any hope. I didn't expect you to have reached the first level. God is pitiful. You, in a few days will be the day when the clan recruits more disciples, maybe because of this, you can make an exception and return to the clan, then as a father, I have fulfilled a wish."
Jason couldn't help but asked a little excitedly: "Father, do you know why those six children with a blood concentration of more than 50% couldn't advance? Also, who is the enemy you offended? They will drive you out."
Old Lei Nuo shook his head and said: "Why those six children couldn't advance, the elders and patriarchs of the family have studied for a long time, and they still haven't figured it out, but according to the records, those six people are at the level of being stuck. At the first level, there will be a sharp pain in the soul, and then a coma, which will eventually lead to the failure of promotion. Moreover, it seems that the children with higher blood concentration will be stuck at a lower level, as if God does not want them to advance. As for me The offended enemy..."
Old Renault smiled wryly and shook his head: "Their power is too great, you don't need to ask,
I won't tell you, even with the strength of the family, in front of them, you can only avoid disaster by abandoning me, but..."
A firm gleam suddenly burst out of Old Renault's eyes: "I have never regretted what happened seventeen years ago. If I could do it again, I would make the same choice myself."
Jason couldn't help but secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that this is the case. The reason why I was stuck at the fifth level of spiritual power and couldn't advance was because of the blood of my body. Then the strange phenomenon that appeared in my body before... , I am afraid it is also because of the blood of the Todd family, what kind of family is this Todd family, with such weird abilities." For a while, Jason had the idea of wanting to reveal everything.
Jason, who was in shock, didn't see the tenderness in the corner of his eyes when Old Renault said what happened seventeen years ago.
When Jason and Old Renault walked out of the hut, the sky had gradually darkened. Old Renault, who had told some secrets in his heart, had an extremely rosy face even though his body was injured.
When he came to Kodo Town, Jason promised to treat Lin Yan and the others to a good meal, but now that the old Renault is injured, Jason asked the restaurant in the town to send some good food when he came back from the square. The wine and food came, and Aunt Mary also cooked some home-cooked dishes, and everyone gathered around in the yard of Jason's house and drank together.
"Brother Lin Yan, I wish you all the best of luck in entering the Spirit Beast Mountain Range this time, and come back safely." Jason held up the wine glass to Lin Yan and the others, and took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass.
"Haha, that's for sure, we'll treat you to dinner then." Zach said carelessly, and everyone drank the wine in their glasses.
The task of the Blade Adventurer Team this time is not difficult, and it only takes a few days to complete. After all, there are still about ten days before the annual Yuanli Festival in Stern Continent. After the Yuanli Festival, Jie Sen is about to turn eighteen, and Lin Yan and the others will also return to Tallinn City before the Yuanli Festival.
"Everyone in the Blade Adventurer Squad, I, Renault, would like to toast you too. Thank you for taking care of my son Jason." Renault also raised his glass.
"Father!" Seeing Old Renault pick up the wine glass, Jason couldn't help persuading him.
"Haha, just have a drink, just a drink. Your friend is here, so of course I have to respect him." Although he was injured, Old Renault was in a good mood today and drank down the wine in one gulp.
Jason couldn't help but smile wryly, knowing that Old Renault was fond of it, he didn't stop him. Although drinking alcohol would have some effect on wound healing, drinking less would generally not cause serious problems.
This night, everyone drank late. After eating, Lin Yan and others returned to the hotel where they were staying, and stepped into the Spirit Beast Mountain Range the next day.
Jason took care of his father carefully, and spent the rest of his time on his own cultivation.
