In the next few days, except for visiting some of his former friends with Archibald, Lou hardly ever went out, and spent most of his time with Maxwell, who was old after all. , I also like being surrounded by children and grandchildren. It just so happens that Maxwell likes Lou both in appearance and temperament. In the past few days, he has also told Lou a lot about the Hubbard family, which has benefited Lou a lot.

"It will start tomorrow, are you ready?" Maxwell put down the chess pieces in his hand, very calm, and he didn't look like he was going to lose at all.

The black piece between the long and white index finger and middle finger landed on the chessboard, cutting off the last way for the white piece to survive.Looking at the entire chessboard, the white pieces were almost defeated, Lou twisted the black pieces in his left hand, and said softly, "Grandpa, I've accepted."

Maxwell's face froze, and he angrily pulled all the white pieces into the chess box, and glared at Lou: "Come again!"

Lou kept the chessboard clean, stretched out his hand and said, "Grandfather, go first."

Maxwell doesn't think about tomorrow's exam anymore, he is bound to win this unworthy descendant, who doesn't know how to respect the elders at all, and learns to give way to me.Thinking of this, Maxwell glared at Lou again.

Lou pursed his lips, his eyes full of helplessness, a few days ago, his grandfather asked him if he could play chess, and he was still a little confident about Go, but he had only seen Sev play the chess that his grandfather took out, and the rules were all the same. I know, but I have never played before, so I played two sets with my grandfather, and the results were mixed.

I never thought that my grandpa would take out Go. He only said that it was brought back from the east by a merchant ship. He had kept it on the go before and never played it with anyone. It was only when he saw Lou that he remembered to ask. In the end, he played two games and grandpa lost. After that, he decided not to give up if he didn't win. He could see that grandpa only knew the rules of Go. In the past few days, he had made great progress.

After the building fell for a while, Maxwell tapped the cane on the ground, looked at the building for a while, and finally yelled perfunctorily: "That's it for today, come back after you pass the test."

Lou nodded and smiled lightly: "Grandpa, Go is not difficult, but it is not easy to play it well. I have been practicing since I was a child, and my grandfather has already played very well for the first time."

Maxwell looked better, and asked Arnold, who had been acting as a stake, to put away the chessboard. He looked at the Lou sitting opposite him, and sighed in his heart. This kid is good in everything, except that he doesn't have the Hubbard family on him. Even if he can inherit the Hubbard family in the future, his descendants must not become the power holders of the Hubbard family.

There is no shortage of powerful people in the family, but they are all as old as Archie. When Archie delegates power, they will not be suitable to take over the Hubbard family. Among the younger generation, there are a few good collaterals It depends on whether Lou's grades can overwhelm the younger generation after the family test this time. If he can, it's not a bad idea to let him inherit the Hubbard family, but it's just him, his next generation There must be someone with the blood of the Hubbard family.If not, then Lou can only be Archie's adopted son. The Hubbard family can give him power and wealth, but they cannot give him the right to inherit.

Lou didn't care what Maxwell was thinking, no matter what, the family test must be passed, not for the issue of inheritance, but for the father.Over the years, I have occasionally checked my own pulse, only to learn that my father has taken a medicine that can strengthen the body, but it will make his father die. He doesn't know who gave him this medicine, and under what circumstances He took it, has the person who gave his father the medicine been found out? He only knows that only by passing the family test can he have a greater say in the Hubbard family, and he will never allow anyone to hurt his father in the future.

Moreover, I have already found a solution to the disadvantages of the medicine with Sif, but I have talked to my father, and his father said that he does not need a young child for the time being, and he will not take the antidote that Sif brews. There is no way, he can't force his father to take medicine, and with his father's flirtatious temperament, if he really has a child, a child who is not expected by his father, he will not grow up happily.But after I pass the family test and the matters in the magic world are resolved, I can ask my father to give me a younger brother. Even if my father doesn't like it, I can bring him up so that he can grow into a person who can inherit the Hubbard family , I don't have to inherit the Hubbard family as an outsider.

"Lou, ask Archie to take you to the darkroom tomorrow, and I'll wait there," Maxwell watched as Lou remained silent, and took a sip of his coffee, "I'll tell you in advance that your quiz is at the highest level of difficulty. "

Lou chuckled, and looked into Maxwell's eyes seriously: "Grandpa, I have already prepared in my heart. I knew it the moment I was brought back by my father. My father once told me that the general The children of the family only need to choose one of the aspects they are good at to take the test, while the test for the heir is to choose one of the civil and military aspects, and I should have no choice."

It was even more regrettable in Maxwell's heart that such a good seedling did not have Hubbard's blood. He thought this in his heart, and there were some emotions on his face: "It will start tomorrow. It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance. It will be announced tomorrow. You The first thing to get through with Simon is to get out of the darkroom by yourself."

Lou knew in his heart that the darkroom that Maxwell mentioned did not refer to the hut in the woods, but the darkroom under the hut. With a smile on his lips, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, to go to the real darkroom and have a discussion with the people inside. , because of the fusion of magic power and spiritual power in the air, my current internal power is stronger than in the previous life. I probably have to go to the innermost part of the dark room to find my opponent.Lou narrowed his eyes, but his father accidentally mentioned that there are a group of real masters in the family, and even his father only met them once, and hoped to meet them on the day he passed the family examination to become the heir.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Lou still had the usual warm smile on his face, and Maxwell suddenly remembered a portrait he saw when he was young when he followed his father to the East. people.

"Arnold, go tell Simon and take him to the darkroom tomorrow." Maxwell waved to Arnold beside him.

"Yes, patriarch." Arnold bowed and exited the room, closed the door, and went to inform Simon.But thinking of the stairs in the room, even he felt that Simon was hopeless, and hoped that he would not be frightened by the real dark room.

Early the next morning, Archibald dragged Lou out of his meditation, looked at Lou's helpless eyes, and calmly urged Lou to wash up.

"Father, it's just dawn, didn't you say go up to 9 o'clock?"

"Don't worry so much, I called Rosie back today. You have to behave well!" Archibald enthusiastically chose a bright white robe for his son. Since his son went to Hogwarts to study, I don't wear the clothes I bought for him before, I only wear this kind of oriental robe, but my son looks good in everything, and now Archibald has a son and everything is full.

"Rosie is back, wasn't he called away by Arnold?"

"Arnold is like that. No matter who it is, as long as they come back from the outside, they have to go to him for a training session. I called Rossi back to be in charge of your food. He knows your taste."

"Well, that's great!" Lou tidied himself up and stood in front of Archibald.

Archibald looked at the building with satisfaction, his vision was good. "Okay, let's go to have breakfast, and I'll take you there first after breakfast."

Lou nodded. Normally, he would not go against what his father said.

"It turns out that this looks like this from a closer look." Lou looked up at the stretch of two-story buildings in front of him. At that time, he could only see gray roofs from a distance. Probably the roof of the tallest house in the front.

"Let's go, they'll be waiting in the innermost house, let's take a look around first." Archibald led Lou to tell him the situation here bit by bit.

"The dark room is divided into three places, punishment, intelligence, and the most important Hell, which is also used to train the dead. The people on the punishment side have red dark patterns embroidered on their necklines, and the intelligence side has blue dark patterns on their necklines. These two You are all good people, there are black dark lines on Hell, you can hardly see it, you have to be careful, when the time comes, the people from Hell should be the last ones you have to deal with, and their force value is the highest in the darkroom." Lou listened seriously What my father said, but his eyes looked in another direction, he smiled softly, and shook his head, was he being targeted?

The three people over there shrank their pupils when they came over from the building. The three of them were all cultivated by the family since they were young. They are not comparable to those who live in the peripheral lineage. They usually live in the dark room. , only go out for a walk when there is a mission.Today, I also heard that the person who was brought back like Simon was coming to the darkroom to take a test, so I came out curiously to take a look.I didn't pay attention to it at first, but I discovered it at a glance.

"Okay, you guys think too much, look at your expressions, how could he, a person who has never been in family training, see us, at most it's just intuition. Just think about that trash Simon!" Three Everyone was wearing black tights, but the neckline was embroidered with dark patterns of different colors. The person who spoke was the woman embroidered with red dark patterns.

The man embroidered with dark black patterns was silent and did not speak, but his eyes were still on the outside of the building. He knew that the man was very capable, and he could feel the desire to fight in his body being ignited.

Another person embroidered with blue dark lines rolled his eyes and sneered: "Do you think he is the same as that waste Simon? According to the information I got, the patriarch treats him very well. If he is a waste, the patriarch will not care at all. It doesn't matter if it was brought back by the young patriarch or not."

The woman didn't speak anymore, because he knew what he said was right.

Different from other people in the family, the people in the dark room are called the young patriarch Archibald. When he completed the family test perfectly, he was directly selected by the patriarch and elders as the next patriarch. Although he went to England for 11 years, But everyone in the dark room remembered that Archibald had fought to the end, and it was only when the masters showed up and beat Archibald back that it was over.So they all really admire Archibald, and of course they want to fight him even more!

Simon also got up early in the morning and sat in the room, waiting for Arnold to come and take him there.Although I have been to the darkroom, I have only been to the part above the ground, but I have never been to the real darkroom underground. When I think of going there, Simon's hands tremble a little, a little excited and a little scared, except for the specially selected one. Those who are not allowed to go into the underground darkroom are not allowed by family members, but I heard that as long as they can come out from inside, they can basically walk sideways outside.

"Dong dong dong, Master Clark, the time is up, please come with me!" Arnold stood outside the door, Simon took a deep breath, opened the door and followed Arnold to the cliff of his life!

The author has something to say: I didn't write about the darkroom scene, crash! !

It will definitely be written in the next chapter, friends, trust me! !
