After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Eric couldn't help but gasp.

He thought of the birthday present he received on his seventeenth birthday - the birthday present Leo gave Eric was a painting drawn by Leo himself, and Eric was still in college at that time, so the painting was mailed to him.

But he was in a lab class at the time, so Sheen signed for the painting. But when Sheen handed the painting to him, he casually said:

"Why do I feel like there is holy power in this painting? And it seems to be much more advanced than the holy power of those priests."

And that painting still has some holy power left in it - the holy power of any priest wouldn't last that long, right? !

And Leo mentioned the "bloodline inheritance of the high priest", and Eric was puzzled:

Since Leo is different from any other priest, and the ability he has shown is even better than the current high priest. And various phenomena show that...

Is it possible that Leo is the descendant of the high priest?

Wait!

Everett seemed to have mentioned the last pope when Leo was ten years old. It seemed to be a female pope named...

Beatrice.

But didn't Hor Dashaby say before he inherited the high priesthood that Beatrice had no children?

No one knew that Beatrice was married!

Eric felt his head buzzing, and he thought: Since she was the former priestess, everything about her should be kept in the temple.

To verify his idea, Eric decided to go to the temple.

Of course, it is definitely not an option to go there in a swaggering manner.

...

After listening to Leo's daily report, Eric came out of the underground library.

He quickly switched to Vengas and used his ability to stop time. He then teleported to Portia's temple to look for the portrait of the former priestess.

Wengas picked up a pocket watch that was emitting blue light, and the light emitted by the pocket watch could illuminate the road.

Eric had heard the Duke mention—

"Although the temple is now in the hands of Hall, people still left a temple for Beatrice. That is where she lived during her lifetime."

Vengas landed in an abandoned corner of the temple. It must be said that this place has been abandoned for many years.

Whoosh whoosh——

Wengas stretched out his hand to measure the buildings of the abandoned temple. These places had been abandoned for twenty years.

The timing is right, Vengas thought.

Da da da...

Wengas walked along the dusty road and found a portrait covered by a black curtain in a hidden basement.

Wow...

! !

The portrait shows a handsome young man in a magician's robe and a woman holding the temple's high priest's scepter and wearing the high priest's crown. The portrait of the two is a family portrait - the woman is sitting on a chair with her belly bulging, and the man is standing behind the sitting woman.

They were smiling happily and it was obvious that they were happy about the new addition to their family.

What is striking is that the man's hair color is lilac brown, and the woman's eye color is gray-blue. Moreover, Leo's current appearance is a combination of the couple.

Perhaps because the black curtain lifted up the portrait, the portrait suddenly tilted, shaking out a piece of paper hidden in the interlayer of the portrait. Wengas bent down to pick up the paper and carefully opened it to check:

"Beatrice: Fechner, if our child is a boy, let's name him Leonello, and if it's a girl, let's name her Leonora.

Fechner: Well, actually it doesn’t matter what he’s called, as long as he grows up healthily. ”

"Gudong."

Beatrice, the former high priestess, needs no introduction.

Eric had an impression of the name Fechner - he was Fechner Davidson, the strongest combat magician in the empire at the time and the most proud disciple of the Lord of the Magic Tower!

But if you think about it, it makes sense, because those who can get in touch with Beatrice, who is still the high priestess, are either workers in the temple or people who serve the royal family.

The time-pause ability outside the window was not released, and the hands of the blue clock totem did not move.

Vengas was stunned in front of the portrait—Leo was the son of the former priestess Beatrice and the former strongest combat magician Fechner!

This also explains why ten-year-old Leo lost control when he first awakened his magic power.

"..."

After using his ability to rewind time on the black curtain and cleaning up the scene, Vengas returned to his room and switched back to Eric's identity.

He put the relevant information away, thinking:

So, does his father already know Leo's background?

It seemed... My father said that he saw a carriage accident on the road, and when he went to check, only Leo survived.

Eric suddenly remembered that James once mentioned Leo's father Fechner: when he took young Eric to the palace to work secretly, he let Eric meet the magician who currently serves the royal family.

At that time, the Duke mentioned Fechner's name - "Excuse me, the current magician is not as good as Fechner."

The magician replied, "The Duke just likes to protect old acquaintances."

In other words, Fechner seems to be a good friend of James. So it is normal for him to rescue and adopt the child of his deceased friend.

Eric thought of something even more terrifying——

If Leo's parents both died in the accident, then who would have made the most profit from doing this?

The answer is self-evident, the current high priest, Mr. Hall Dashabi!

"call..."

However...the portrait preserved in the temple is still a portrait of Beatrice when she was pregnant.

In other words, Hall wanted to kill Beatrice before she gave birth to offspring, and then seize the position of high priest on the grounds that "the previous high priest had no offspring."

So, although it was strange, it was very likely that the temple didn't know that Leo was Beatrice's son.

Even if they knew, they would never dare to take action against Leo due to the powerful family of the Duke of Impes.

If Hall knew that Leo was the son of the former high priest, would he try to snatch Leo away from Impes and consolidate his dominance in the temple?

"Tsk!"

Eric just thought about the outrageous actions of Hall who had been helping Haynes to build momentum, saying that Lilibe was the saint of this generation.

Thinking about Leo's true life experience, he felt that what Everett had said in a joking tone when he and Leo were working together on a charity project could become a reality:

"As long as Leo successfully becomes the high priest and the ruler of the temple, he can trample Haines under his feet and implement Leo's welfare policy at the same time."

Leo...

He is the third son of Impes, the adopted son of the Duke of Impes, and the youngest brother in the family. Eric is the eldest son of Impes, so of course he has the obligation to protect his younger brother.

Eric let out a sigh of relief: So now, what can I do?

Of course, as the eldest brother, I will do my best to pave the way for my younger brother's future!
