Chapter 228: Descendants of the True Savior (1/2)
Chapter 228 The Descendant of the True Savior
Aaron refused decisively. Claire was the eldest daughter of the Darwin family, who was also a hidden family. He and Claire were childhood sweethearts, but he had never thought of forming a family with her one day in the future.
"Not really!" Lisanna said half-jokingly, "You and Leon have always had a good relationship!"
"I have a good relationship with him, but the premise is that I don't want to hit on her sister." Aaron said with some grief and indignation, "I was only seven years old that year. Just because I pinched Claire's face, he decisively threw aside the brotherhood and challenged me aggressively. The boat of friendship was overturned in an instant."
"But you won!" Vico said, "I remember your grandfather praised you at that time."
"Haha!
There are many kinds of winning points, one of which is called a miserable victory." Aaron cried and said, "The potential of sister control in front of his sister is infinite, I paid the price of a bruised face to barely beat him down, and since then I have not dared to have any physical contact with Claire. "
"Son." Lisanna couldn't help laughing and patted Aaron on the shoulder, "That was a few years ago. Now you are all grown up, you shouldn't be so resentful.
And Claire has said more than once that she wants to marry you when she grows up, and she still thinks so now.
We have also discussed with the chief of Darwin. As long as you agree, we can get engaged immediately, and we can enter the palace of marriage hand in hand after we become adults. "
Hearing this, Aaron was confused and dumbfounded.
What's going on? Is my brother so charming?
But thinking of the love letters he received at Hogwarts, he had to humbly admit this.
"What about Leon? What did he say?"
Aaron urgently hoped that this good brother could play the attribute of sister control. As long as he said no, he could naturally refuse tactfully: it's not my brother who doesn't agree, it's your brother who doesn't agree.
"I don't know!" Vico shrugged. "He was not at home when we arrived, but it's not his business.
Claire agreed, and both parents agreed. Unless he wants his sister to live alone, he will convince himself."
"Now it's just your opinion. You know Claire better than us. Her personality, family background, ability and appearance are perfect..."
"I don't agree." Aaron interrupted Lisanna. "I always treat her as my sister."
"Alas!" Vico sighed, looked at his son with a complicated expression, and sighed: "I told your mother the same thing at the beginning, but it turns out that feelings can be cultivated."
Aaron:......
Lisanna smiled meaningfully, "Everything is possible in the future."
Aaron pursed his lips and decided not to dwell on it. He just perfunctorily passed it over.
Everything is possible in the future, but the future is still far away.
He still has five years to go before he becomes an adult. Who knows what will happen in these five years.
After a moment of silence, Aaron smiled and nodded, "I see, I'll consider it."
"Then we'll notify the Darwin family." Vicco asked tentatively.
"Huh? I just said I'd consider it, I didn't say I'd agree immediately!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well... I personally think it's better to let things take their own course, after all, we're still young..."
"Are you trying to stall for time?" Lisanna was a little helpless, "I know this is a little sudden for you, but we really think she's the best candidate."
Huh!
Aaron took a deep breath, then looked at his parents, "Then can you also consider my feelings a little bit?
You also said this is just an option, but you're trying to get me into the grave of marriage right away.
I'm only thirteen years old! Claire is one year younger than me!"
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and fell into silence.
Ten seconds later, Vicco said earnestly, "We won't force you to make a decision, but it's okay to keep this list!"
"That's fine." Aaron quickly collected the brown paper on the table and put it back into the file bag, "Just put it in my bedroom, you will be satisfied with it!"
Lisanna didn't say anything, just felt a little regretful.
When Aaron came down from upstairs, he saw Vicco with a serious face, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This was the first time he felt the majesty of the patriarch from his father.
"The secret that the Gaius family has guarded for thousands of years is finally going to be handed over to the next generation.
Tell me, Aaron Gaius, are you ready?"
Aaron was speechless, as if I could postpone it if I wasn't ready.
"Ready."
"That's good, come with me!"
"Don't I need to change clothes or make some preparations?"
"No."
Vicco strode out of the living room and took Aaron to the door of the treasure house.
Lisanna followed the two silently. Abe in her arms seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere and behaved very well.
He took out a black key from his arms and handed it to Aaron, "It's better for you to open this door yourself."
Aaron took the key, carefully inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it slowly.
Although he was not really prepared, he was still a little excited about the core of the family.
"Calm down." With a hand on Aaron's shoulder, Vico smiled and shook his head at his son, "You have walked through this door countless times."
"But this time is different."
"It's really different, how about you guess what's inside?"
Aaron rolled his eyes at Vico and pushed the door open.
The truth was right in front of him, so he didn't want to guess!
"My son is much happier than you." Lisanna chuckled and walked in with Abe.
As soon as the few people entered, the door of the secret room closed quickly and disappeared into this space.
Aaron stared at the space floating in the void with wide eyes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
This secret room seemed to be built in the center of the universe, boundless, like an independent world, full of mystery.
A giant tree stood in the center of the world, above it was a sky full of stars, and almost every leaf was connected to a star, covering the entire starry sky.
Below it was a magnificent altar, with the giant tree rooted in it, emitting brilliant light from time to time.
A huge book was slowly turning in front of the altar, and various styles and graphics kept appearing on the pages and dissipating, as if it could never be finished.
"This is too spectacular!"
"I made the same exclamation as you when I first saw it." Vico walked to the altar and saluted the huge book respectfully.
"Come here and salute, this is the real history of the family."
Aaron did as he was told, but for some reason he actually felt joy and excitement from the book.
"You should be able to see that this tree is the emblem of the Gaius family.
Can you think of anything?"
Aaron frowned, "Could it be that the origin of the Gaius family is related to this tree?"
"No." Vico shook his head meaningfully, "To be precise, this tree was created by Gaius.
Thousands of years ago, an unprecedented genius appeared in the magic world, and that was our ancestor.
He had no surname, but his name was passed down as a surname by later generations."
"Father." Aaron said impatiently, "I know everything you said."
"Okay, then tell me something you don't know.
Gaius was able to control his own magic power when he was born, and reached advanced magic at the age of four. "A master, a wizard at the age of six, a magician at the age of nine, a great magician at the age of twelve, a holy magician at the age of sixteen, and a godly realm when he became an adult."
"This is impossible." Aaron said in disbelief, "Even if God feeds you personally, you can't grow up so fast."
"Son." Vico smiled contemptuously, "Do you believe in the existence of God?"
"Uh..." Aaron answered uncertainly: "Maybe not!"
"God exists, and Satan also exists." Vico pointed to the book behind him, "It has detailed records."
Aaron blinked, turned his head and looked at his mother in astonishment, "Please tell me this is a joke."
Lisanna smiled but said nothing.
"Okay, it seems that you are not joking.
Why do you say this?"
"To prepare you mentally, Gaius vaguely sensed a higher level of barriers after entering the realm of God.
In order to go further, he chose to leave this world and explore a new path.
But the exploration was destined to be not smooth sailing. In this process, he often saw gods of all sizes fighting in the universe, either for the sake of competing for faith, or for occupying resources, or because of ridiculous personal grudges.
The protracted war of gods did not know when it started, but it seemed that it would never end.
Countless planets collapsed, split, and reorganized in the fierce battle. Reality and virtuality were intertwined, and the turbulence of time and space could be seen everywhere.
He was also forced to roll up He entered, but he was too talented and too strong. Not only was he not injured, but he calculated the opponent's ability in the battle and integrated it into himself.
He used the battle to continuously improve his own laws, successfully broke through to a higher level, and even mastered part of the universe's permission. "
"Is this... is this so exaggerated?" Aaron was stunned and speechless. After a long time, he spoke with difficulty, "Storybooks don't even write this way."
Vico curled his lips in disdain, "Don't be too limited in thinking, there will always be someone who can exceed your imagination."
Aaron was speechless, "You continue."
"He ended the war of gods with absolute strength, but did not kill anyone, but organized them to sign a contract. "
Aaron:......
No wonder my family likes to talk about contracts so much!
The reason has been found. It turns out that this is inherited from our ancestors!
"The gods have their own duties. They are not allowed to interfere with the authority of others without reason, nor can they kill mortals at will. Since then, the good and evil in the world have reached a balance.
By the way, these people include the so-called God." Vico said teasingly, "Although the world has been prevented from being continuously destroyed, the world itself is already overwhelmed and crumbling.
Our ancestor noticed this and wanted to heal the universe, but all his means only slowed down the speed of the universe's collapse."
"Then what?" Aaron asked anxiously.
"Then Gaius returned to this world." Vicco said with emotion, "He did not make himself a god, but lived as an ordinary person, without even showing any magic power.
While experiencing life, he fell in love with a woman and formed a happy wizard family.
In addition to getting married and having children, Gaius also accepted three gifted apprentices and taught them different types of magic."
"Wait, stop." Aaron suddenly thought of something, "Three apprentices? Could it be..."
"Yes, that's them." Vicco said, counting on his fingers, "Darwin is responsible for spreading Knowledge, record all correct history.
Ishkar is responsible for prevention and protection. Once the world is covered by war, they will take emergency measures at the first time to protect all wizards, including Muggle-borns.
As for Klein, he is responsible for deterrence. It is their credit that this world has not been invaded by foreign forces so far.
And Gaius is responsible for establishing connections with other worlds. There is a reason why the four hidden families have been watching over each other. "
"So that's it!"
Aaron used to be surprised why the relationship between their families could last for thousands of years without deterioration.
Now the case has been solved. The relationship between the master and the apprentice thousands of years ago was similar to that between father and son. To put it a little far-fetchedly, their families are distant relatives.
"Do you think it ends here?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Vico smiled and shook his head. "After his wife passed away, he went back to the starry sky.
He felt that his life was wonderful enough, so he wanted to do something more meaningful.
He handed over his authority, sacrificed his body and soul, and repaired the gap in the universe.
In fact, only he can do this, not because he has partial permission for the universe, nor because of his strong strength, but because he is the only one willing to do this.
Because in the eyes of those high gods, the destruction of the universe is a matter of time.
Gods who are powerful enough will go to another universe to create a new divine domain, and gods who are not powerful enough are the same, but their living space will be much smaller, and if they are unlucky, they can only survive under the protection of others."
After listening, Aaron couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
He knew that his first ancestor would be great, but in his opinion, no matter how great he was, he would just save the world. If he exaggerated it a little, he would save the Milky Way. If the God of Magic worked harder, it would not be impossible.
But he never expected that his ancestor saved a universe, which was so awesome!
"Too great, but if it were me, I wouldn't learn from him." Aaron sighed, "I don't have the ability of my ancestors, nor do I have his ideological awareness.
Maybe in his eyes, sacrifice is of great significance, but I may never do such a thing."
Pah!
Aaron was slapped on the head as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sometimes sacrifice is necessary." Vicco taught his son angrily, "The Gaius family can be what it is today because of the sacrifices of our ancestors."
"I'm not wrong!" Aaron said aggrievedly, "Dad, you know me, and the spirit of sacrificing oneself to save the world has nothing to do with me."
"I'm glad you think so." Lisanna breathed a sigh of relief, "It's his business that his ancestors are great, but mother hopes you can be a little selfish."
Hearing this, Vicco rolled his eyes speechlessly.
It's true to say so, but is it really appropriate to be so straightforward?
