Survive the Fourth Natural Disaster

Chapter 437: The Hogan Family Hidden in Reyes

Hill could only ask Liszt to invite Master Hogan to the study to meet him.

Although he guessed that Master Santos secretly had descendants left behind, he really never thought that he would hide his wife and children in Reyes.

He turned to look at Alice who was looking curiously, and waved her sofa to float to the floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the study: "Alice, you can listen, but don't interrupt, okay?"

"Okay, Dad Hill!" Alice laughed happily. She thought Hill would send her back downstairs!

There are some benefits to being a human being.

Alice was sure that when she was more mature and steady, she would be able to sit near Father Hill and take part in such serious business.

Liszt quickly walked in with Master Hogan.

"Long time no see, Master Hogan, this is really a surprise." Hill said lightly.

"Dear Master Fran..."

Hill stopped him directly: "Please call me Bolaño! That is to hide the maternal surname you use, and it is no longer suitable to use it now."

"Then... Master Bolaño, please allow me to express my most sincere apology. At that time, I just thought that the family's hundreds of years of waiting had completely failed. I didn't want you to get the attention of Lord Reyes anymore, so I used that disrespectful way. Speak in a tone of voice.

After so many things happened, I really realized that I had really saved my life.

Thank you very much for your generosity. "

Hill glanced at the respectful mage and said, "Do you have anything to prove that you are a descendant of Master Santos?"

"Only bloodline." Hogan said with a wry smile, "And only those who have reached level 17 are eligible to inherit this magic tower. Otherwise, who would dare?

When we don't have enough ability, exposing our bloodline will only lead to death.

Our family is actually waiting to see if the Archbishop of the North can return to his Kingdom of God before this magic tower is completely exposed.

Or our family can have another powerful mage appear.

Unfortunately, I am the only one in our family who has reached level 12. It seems possible.

However, I don't dare to confirm whether this magic tower can survive until I reach level 17 before being exposed. "

Hill nodded: "When I came, the tower spirit of this tower had been annihilated, and the magic circle was almost completely gone. This was rebuilt by me."

Hogan lowered his head: "After I came in, I knew what this magic tower was like. Our family has records.

It may not be as valuable as yours. "

Hill smiled: "Are those mages downstairs from your family?"

Hogan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Only one apprentice is, and the rest are the red-haired pregnant woman and her family.

They couldn't possibly follow someone who was hostile to me, but they didn't dare to show that they were part of my family. "

He quietly raised his eyes and looked at Hill: "If those undead hadn't told you something, I wouldn't have dared to tell the truth."

Hill had already guessed this, and only the undead would provide them with information.

He asked the undead to show up, actually to reveal a little bit of his identity so as not to scare the old and weak. He didn't expect such a result.

He raised his chin and signaled Master Hogan to continue.

Hogan replied honestly: "Master Santos is my grandfather. When he left, my father was just ten years old.

The archbishop of the North has also been here for twelve years. He has united his power and is about to officially take office.

When grandpa left, he was well prepared.

Even if the caravan is fine, he may still be attacked by surprise.

If he wanted to solve the threat from the church, he had only one way to devote himself completely to the God of Travel.

But he is unwilling to sell himself to any existence, even if it is the god he believes in. He is unwilling to hand over his soul and would rather take a risk. "

"Why do you have to go?" Hill asked puzzledly, "Can't you hide in the magic tower? I think that although Master Santos's magic circle is still a bit rough, it can resist level 20 existences, no matter whether it is a mage Still a priest.

I remember that the Archbishop was not of that high rank.

There wouldn't be any priests above level 20 who would come to trouble him just to please their peers, right?

The status is so different. "

"My grandma said it was for my grandma's family. No matter how greedy they were, when grandpa was abandoned by the family, it was the merchant family who trained him as a mage and paid a high price to send grandpa to him. Later, in front of the teacher.

Mages in Ferenriel don't accept formal students casually. Everyone starts their apprenticeship slowly, and maybe they will be successful at some point.

Just like the Hogan family, although they are said to be followers of Lord Reyes, if it hadn't been for their grandfather, there would be no way for them to have a mage from generation to generation.

Those systematic basic teachings are the most important things, and ordinary mages cannot sort them out at all.

Therefore, although grandpa has repaid the family a lot, it is still not enough. The pain of being caught by that family can be a disaster that can wipe out the family.

If grandpa watched that family be completely destroyed, he would never be able to become a transcendent being above level 20 in his lifetime, and he didn't want to.

So he was willing to take a risk. If he came back safely, he would completely end those friendships and never need to go out again.

Moreover, the reward for that caravan was really high, so I had to pay half in advance.

My father and I were both able to become mages in the City Lord's Mansion without any debts, all because of the assets left behind by my grandfather. "

Hill nodded, thinking about Adrian, he would understand.

No matter which world it is, this aspect seems to be the same.

The mages in Faerun are different. Most of them are indebted to the goddess of magic. Learning spells is not as difficult as in other worlds. It is rare to embark on the path of legend.

But their mages below level 20 can use 9th-level spells, which mages in other worlds simply can't do.

"Besides, grandpa thinks he can escape. He bought a very powerful magic weapon from the Gold Coin Merchant Guild. Unless he is besieged by more than 6 people of the same level, he will not be able to escape."

"What's wrong with that magic device?"

“But my grandma later saw the same thing at the Reyes City Palace, dozens of them.

Although grandma is not a high level, she is also a mage, a level 11 Hogan female mage.

The Hogan family has always been followers of Lord Reyes, so the only daughter chose to have a child to inherit the family name, and no one cared at all.

So when she asked about the magic device, the people from the City Lord's Mansion told her.

There are countless identical magic devices in the Gold Coin Merchant, and each one has a service life. If it is used too frequently, it may explode directly after less than a few dozen uses.

From that time on, grandma felt that grandpa would never come back.

He doesn't have enough resources. "

Hill sighed, Santos obviously didn't know, otherwise, he wouldn't have spent a huge amount of money to buy such a piece of junk.

"Did the Gold Coin Merchant deliberately trick him?" Hill asked with a frown. He thought that Woking could at least control his church!

The Chamber of Commerce of Friends of Merchants cannot even maintain the most basic integrity!

"Yes." Hogan lowered his head, "That's the gift they gave to the new Archbishop of Northland."

"Can't others see it?" Hill didn't think that the noble mages in Reyes were blind.

"So, the person in charge of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce in Reyes was transferred after that incident, and those same things were given to the City Lord's Mansion.

Nobles and mages of sufficient level were compensated.

Only the dead grandfather became a victim. "

Hill sneered: "No wonder, the value of the things sold by the Gold Coin Merchant Guild is not high. Even if they apologize, those at the top will no longer be willing to buy their things.

I said, how could there be such a boring auction? "

He walked in full of hope and didn't spend much money.

Hogan suddenly laughed: "Your things are really snapped up after they enter the auction. The gold coin merchants will transport fresh goods from far away, but few people in Reyes will buy them."

Hill blinked, so it's not how good his things are, it's the fact that Reyes's noble would rather believe in himself, a stranger?

No, these people believe that it is impossible for the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce to collude with Santos’ heir. If his stuff can pass the inspection of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, it must be genuine and good stuff!

Hill smiled helplessly: "Okay, Master Hogan, please verify your bloodline."

Looking at the crystal ball rising in front of him, Hogan stood up in shock: "You! You still have the bloodline verification array? Didn't you remove it from the magic tower array?"

"If there is no problem with my identity, the magic tower can be left to you." Hill said expressionlessly, "I will leave Ferenriel sooner or later. I originally planned to leave this magic tower to the descendants of Master Santos.

However, I will take away my own things, including the tower spirit and these floor-to-ceiling windows, and I will turn this place back into a normal magic tower. "

Hogan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then glanced at Hill, then gritted his teeth, placed his right hand on the crystal ball, and whispered a spell.

A thin layer of blood oozed from his hand, quickly covering the crystal ball, and then fused directly into it.

Hill soon felt that a guest with permission to enter appeared in his magic tower.

Although he cannot enter many places yet, except that the lobby on the first floor and the library downstairs are fully open to him, Hogan does have some authority over the Magic Tower.

Hill smiled. He finally understood how to set up the blood circle. There were some minor problems, which he had already verified from the fluctuations just now.

Hill looked at the surprised Master Hogan and said directly: "You can bring your family members to see the library downstairs. I will leave when this aftershock is over."

He did not promise to completely give up control of the Magic Tower, leaving them with different ways to stay, depending on the behavior of the Hogan family in the past few days.
