Embarrassment of Golden Dragon Tails

Erwin hurried into the study, and when he saw Tailan, he was obviously taken aback. Obviously, he didn't expect to meet Tailan.

After a brief moment of astonishment, joy filled his eyes.He quickly looked around and after confirming that there was no one there, Erwin smiled from the heart, walked quickly towards Tai Lan, and greeted sincerely: "Brother, why are you here? The research is over?"

"It's just a temporary interruption." Tai Lan pointed to the opposite chair, motioning for Erwin to sit down, "Erwin, I need to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Erwin sat down as promised, raised his head slightly, and looked at Tailan with violet eyes, with a hint of hope.

"About you. Erwin, you are already 16 years old, and the Farret Manor is too small, it will constrain your mind and limit your vision. Therefore, I plan to send you to the capital." Tai Lan relied on On the carved wooden chair, to put it mildly.

"The capital? Brother, do you want to?" Erwin's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "...abandon me?"

"Quiet, Erwin, you have grown up. There are three excellent colleges in the capital, among which Tulip College is very suitable for you. You can choose your favorite studies, and you can also make some friends of the same age." Tai Lan patiently Explaining, "I know, you may be a little uneasy because you have never left Farret Manor. But it doesn't matter, your personal servant will accompany you, and I will send a housekeeper to take you there and arrange everything for you. everything you need."

Following Tailan's words, Erwin's face became darker and darker.After Tailan's words came to an end, he asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you really planning to send me away?"

"Be optimistic, Erwin, you are going to learn."

"No, brother, I don't want to go to the capital!" Erwin stood up suddenly, and his slender waist hit the armrest of the chair, causing the chair to move forward a little.He didn't seem to feel the pain, and said eagerly, "Mr. Poole is knowledgeable enough to teach me more than enough. Besides, I don't need any friends! I don't even want to leave here! Leave..."

Erwin lowered his eyelids and fell silent.After a while, he said softly again: "Brother, I won't make you angry anymore, don't send me away."

Tailan frowned and asked, "Erwin, did you have any misunderstanding? This is my decision and has nothing to do with what you said."

Erwin bowed his head, silent.

Tai Lan continued to introduce him to the history, scenery, culture, and specialties of the capital... trying to dispel his shrinking.

Erwin stood there with his head bowed, listening quietly.After a long time, he raised his head and asked eagerly, "Brother, the king is fine, but I... can I... stay here?"

"No."

"why?"

Tailan looked at Erwin silently.This 16-year-old child has not yet grown up, but he has already lost the innocence of a child.At this moment, Erwin's expression was very bitter.He lowered his head and peeked at himself from under the eyelashes. Violet's eyes revealed disappointment, expectation and anxiety, and his eyes were very stubborn.Tyran sighed inwardly, he had never liked Erwin's eyes, even though they were very beautiful.The eyes inherited from Ms. Corey always reminded him of his father's betrayal. Similarly, Tyran couldn't imagine what his mother would look like when Erwin appeared in front of him.

He had to get Erwin off before his mother arrived.

"Erwin, sit down." Tai Lan ordered calmly, and when Erwin reluctantly sat down next to the chair, Tai Lan began to explain, "Erwin, the countess is coming back."

Erwin lowered his eyelids, looked at his fingers, and whispered, "I guessed it. I'll move back to where I was before and she won't see me."

"No, Erwin, you don't understand." Tai Lan said calmly and irresistibly, "This is not something you can decide. No matter what you think, you have to go to the capital. In this way, for you, for you Countess, everything is fine."

No matter how Erwin begged, Tai Lan remained unmoved.In the end, Erwin had no choice but to accept Tailan's arrangement, silently packed his luggage, and planned to go to the capital.

The date of Erwin's departure was set in two weeks. During these two weeks, Erwin did not protest again, but just followed Tailan like a shadow, as if he wanted to spend the time before leaving on getting along with the two of them.In just two days, Tai Lan lost his patience.Regardless of Erwin's disappointed expression, he arranged for the housekeeper to take care of everything, locked himself in the research room, and planned to solve a small problem in alchemy, and then came out when he saw Erwin off.

This small problem was more troublesome than expected. The scenes depicted in the batch of ancient scrolls unearthed from the ruins were very moving. They exuded the alluring brilliance of ancient wisdom, luring Tai Lan to indulge in it.And this small problem is very critical. If it is solved, then there will be no obstacles in the bridging of alchemy and some spells.

Tai Lan and his three assistants were so immersed in it that they almost forgot to eat or sleep.Before I knew it, ten days had passed.The research has reached the most critical moment. That night, the research room is brightly lit.Tai Lan and his assistants adjusted the equipment, and a mage began to cast a spell, letting the power of the spell flow through the wire, trying to solidify it on the alchemy device.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the results of the experiment.

The power of magic flows through the wires, emits faint fluorescence, flows along the runes, wraps around the surface of the device, and gradually merges...

The entire laboratory was silent, only the chants of the mages, the hissing sounds as they interacted with magic and alchemy.Just then, "Bang! Bang! Bang!" A dull knock on the door broke the silence.This sudden disturbance disturbed the mage's originally highly concentrated spirit, his fingertips trembled slightly, and the chanting paused for a moment.Although he reacted quickly, the spell had already failed.The energy was unsustainable, and the magic that was about to be solidified on the device made a "popping" sound, bursting into a cluster of dazzling white light, and then disappeared completely.

The experiment failed, and extreme anger welled up from the bottom of his heart, quickly filling Tai Lan's chest.He barely maintained his superficial calm, and secretly made up his mind that no matter who the culprit who destroyed his experiment was, he would make this guy pay the corresponding price, and then expel him from Farret Manor.

The knocking on the door continued, and through the thick door, there was a faint call, as if calling for Tailan.

With a gloomy face, Tai Lan rudely pushed the mage away and walked towards the door of the research room.

The door opened and Erwin's face appeared in front of Tyran.He was wearing pajamas, and he was pulling slippers, with an anxious and distressed expression, with undried tears on his face, under the messy brown curly hair, those violet eyes were covered with mist, like an abandoned animal fawn.

Seeing Tailan, Erwin took a deep breath, calmed down, bowed to Tailan, and greeted solemnly: "My lord, I am sorry to disturb your research, but I have something that I want to confirm with you."

Tai Lan looked at him indifferently, barely suppressed his anger, and asked calmly: "I remember that I once ordered you not to come near my laboratory. Now, Erwin, tell me, it is my memory Something went wrong, or yours?"

Erwin looked at him eagerly, seemingly wanting to ask a million questions.But then, his eyes dimmed, he lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, my lord, I violated your rules. But..." He raised his head, looked into Tailan's gray eyes, and turned to the researcher He glanced in the room, his eyes flickered, he hesitated to speak.

here we go again.Tailan never saw his expression like this, it seemed that Erwin would never grow up, and was always the thin and thin eight-year-old child who rolled in the mud.Tyran gave him a cold gouging look, waved Erwin to get out of the way, and walked towards the garden.

Erwin followed him silently.

Roses are delicate, lilies are fragrant.Under the clear moonlight, the garden at night is filled with quiet fragrance and exudes a different kind of beauty.

It's just that neither Tailan nor Erwin has the heart to appreciate it.

Tyran stopped in front of a bush of irises, turned around, and said to Erwin, "Erwin, you know, you violated my rules. I hope you can give me a convincing explanation."

"I..." Erwin hesitated, he hesitated for a moment, raised his head, straightened his chest, looked directly at Tai Lan, and asked with determination: "Brother, I heard that you are getting engaged?"

"Dip told you?"

"...Don't worry about how I know. Brother, answer me, is this true?" Erwin's tone became urgent.

"Not bad." Tai Lan replied calmly.

"..." Erwin's voice trembled, and he asked, "Who is it? Miss from which family?"

"Miss Novella von Ruien, the daughter of the lord of the Gup region." Tai Lan replied, and he asked indifferently, "So, just for this silly question, you ignored my request, opened the door of my research room, and interfered with me. My important experiment? Erwin, it seems that I have neglected you. You are already 16 years old, and you are no longer a child. Have you packed your things? If everything is in order, then you will set off tomorrow to the capital I hope that the teachers of Tulip Academy can teach you well and guide you in the right direction of life."

Erwin remained silent, and his expression became darker and darker with Tailan's words. On the contrary, his eyes gradually became firmer.After Tailan finished speaking, he asked calmly: "Brother, answer me. Is it because of your mother that you are so eager to send me away, or is it because of my status that I am not worthy to appear in front of a countess?" I have lived here since I was eight years old, and the Countess has never raised any objections, despite my reluctance. And now, you are getting engaged, so you must send me away. Only by sending me away can you rest assured Engaged to this beautiful bride. That noble countess cannot live on the same estate as a lowly illegitimate child. No, the Earl of Leinsters never had any illegitimate children. As long as I am away, you and your father His honor remains untainted in any way."

"..."

"Is that so? Answer me, brother."

"..."

"Brother, this is not fair to me. For the countess, you plan to drive me away. You even hid in the research room, and you don't want to look at me at all."

Tai Lan was silent, his face gradually turned cold, he looked at Erwin coldly, his eyes were quite unbelievable.After a while, the corners of his mouth turned up, showing a sarcasm smile, and said mercilessly: "Yes or no, what's the point? Erwin, you are an illegitimate child, and this has never changed since you were born. The Leinster family has never treated you badly, or in other words, I have never treated you badly, and what I have given you is far beyond what an illegitimate child should receive. I allow you to call me 'brother' in private, but this It doesn't mean your identity has changed."

Erwin's face gradually paled, his lips trembled slightly, and he seemed unable to speak.Tyran went on to say: "I don't know what gave you the idea, the courage, to think that you can guess what I think at will and accuse me. I suggest that you, before saying these things, First think about your own identity, your own position, and think about whether you have the qualifications to make any demands on me, Elvin Corey."

Pale moonlight fell on Erwin's face, reflecting his bloodless face and trembling lips.At night, his violet eyes are almost black, deep and full of pain.He looked at Tai Lan in disbelief, making no effort to hide the hurt these words had caused him.

Tai Lan was still calm, and Erwin's expression made him feel a little unbearable, but at the same time, it also dissipated the anger caused by the failure of the experiment, which made him feel faintly happy.He has indulged Erwin too much these years, and he needs some lessons. It is good for Erwin to recognize his identity, lest he cause unnecessary trouble in the capital.

So, Tai Lan showed a sarcasm smile, and asked the trembling boy in front of him, "Erwin, have you thought about it?"

Erwin's lips parted slightly, and his teeth made a slight clashing sound. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, opened his eyes, and replied calmly: "I understand, I, Erwin Corey, will Keep to your duty, and will not cause any trouble to you, Honorable Earl of Leinster."

Tailan nodded with satisfaction, approving Erwin's performance.

When sending Erwin away, he sincerely bowed to Tailan and thanked him for his care and kindness over the past eight years.Erwin's behavior was very well-behaved, reminding Tailan of the timid little boy eight years ago.

However, within five days, Erwin's carriage appeared outside the gate of Farret Manor again.The loyal butler, Mr. Dipper, jumped out of the carriage anxiously, rushed to Tailan's research room, knocked on the door, and said eagerly: "Master, it's not good! Master Erwin, he, he, he is missing! Already!"
