Chapter 227: The Weird Way of Choosing a Daughter-in-Law (1/2)
Chapter 227: Weird Vision in Choosing a Daughter-in-law
Gaius Castle.
Aaron sat on the sofa in the living room, facing the current patriarch of the Gaius family, Vico Gaius, and his wife, Lisanna Gaius.
As for the butler who usually followed Aaron, he was not here. He was busy educating his two subordinates.
The elites who spent a lot of time and energy to train were not vigilant at all and did not know that they were poisoned. If the head of the family and his wife had not had a sudden impulse this time and stopped the young master who was about to run away in time, they would have lost face.
"You are so capable and strong, running once is not enough, you even want to run a second time." Vicco looked at his son teasingly, "You want to go to heaven!"
Aaron smiled awkwardly, "I'm just not ready."
"If everything is ready, it's not life, but a script." Vicco rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "You are the only one among our three generations of grandfather and grandson who has a promising future. You must complete the family mission."
"I know, but I also said that I am not ready. I am only thirteen years old!"
"Some people took up the banner at the age of twelve or even eleven." Vicco looked directly into Aaron's eyes, "This is not an excuse. Do you know how great an opportunity this is for you?"
"I don't know, but I know how dangerous it is." Aaron pointed in the direction of the secret room, and a dry smile appeared on his face, " I asked the ancestors to give me some hints.
Some told me to make myself stronger, some told me not to trust anyone, some told me not to guess other people's thoughts, some told me to be strong, and the most amazing one said: Good luck, don't die.
More than 20 ancestors said one sentence each, and I endured more than 20 negative energy attacks. It's good that I didn't collapse. "
"Uh..." Vico opened his mouth and looked at Lisanna, "It's not unreasonable that the clan rules emphasize not to talk nonsense."
"Son, you are the only heir of the family!
As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. There may be danger, but I can guarantee that you won't die."
Aaron pulled the corner of his mouth. To be honest, he didn't doubt the truth of this sentence. Even if Vico wanted to lie to him, he wouldn't say it in front of Lisanna.
"Okay!" Aaron took a few deep breaths and sighed, "Father, just tell me, I can bear it."
"As expected of my son, the mission of the Gaius family for thousands of years is to connect... ah..."
Vico groaned in pain halfway through his words, then looked down at the hand pinching his waist, "What did I do wrong?"
Lisanna smiled and raised her eyebrows, "You seem to have forgotten something, we agreed on it."
"That's right, this is much more important than the family's mission." Vico patted his forehead and took out a file bag from the bag behind him.
After Lisanna took it, she handed it directly to Aaron, "Son, take a look."
Aaron looked at the file bag in a daze. For some reason, he always felt that this thing was particularly heavy.
After opening it, his face became particularly wonderful, a few black lines appeared on his forehead, and his fingers were shaking slightly.
There were ten pieces of kraft paper in the file bag. He flipped through a few pages and found that each page contained the names of girls, including their personalities, ages, bloodlines, abilities, talents, and family backgrounds.
"Are you surprised or not?" Lisanna smiled gently, "I spent a lot of effort to select them for you. Of course, your father also contributed a little."
Aaron opened his mouth and looked at Vico in astonishment. He unexpectedly found that his eyes were full of gloating, but he finally restrained his smile.
"Ahem! Your mother is also doing this for your own good.
If you think you like someone, just say so. I will personally arrange a marriage for you."
"Haha! I'm only thirteen years old!"
"Engagement is not marriage. We are just looking for a fiancée for you." Lisanna smiled, "If you think one is not enough, you can marry more."
"You are really my real mother!" Aaron gave Vico a look for help, but he ignored it and turned his face away very skillfully.
"What are you looking at him for?" Lisanna said unhappily, "Don't be like your dad. He obviously likes her but he has to hide it in his heart. If I wasn't brave enough, your birth might have been delayed for a few years."
"Oh?" Aaron looked at Vico playfully, and suddenly felt much more comfortable. "Dad, your image in my mind has been cut in half."
"Hahaha, that's all in the past." Vico changed the subject directly, "Now we are discussing your life event."
"Tsk!" Aaron put the blind date list on the table speechlessly, "Just say it, I don't agree."
"Why?" Lisanna was a little unhappy, "These are all good girls picked from a hundred."
"First of all." Aaron tapped the table with his index finger, "I'm only thirteen years old, it's a little too early to think about this."
Secondly, this kind of thing should be my own decision, right..."
"Of course you can make your own decision, if..." Vico hesitated, "We just give you more options."
"Options, but who are these people you chose?" Aaron was speechless, "I saw three, but I don't know any of them."
Lisanna and Vico looked at each other and sorted out the list on the table carefully.
"Son, I still hope you can consider the people on the list, okay?" Lisanna said nervously, and there was even a hint of request in her voice.
Aaron suddenly felt a little distressed. His mother never showed such emotions. This was the first time.
"Is this important?"
Lisanna pursed her lips and remained silent, but Vico nodded seriously, "Your mother ran around for more than half a year and visited more than ten countries to sort out this list."
"Not really!" Aaron frowned.
"Maybe you think this is a joke, but this is definitely your mother's deepest love for you. "We will tell you the specific reasons later," said Vico with a gentle smile.
But you'd better be mentally prepared. This list is really... unusual.
Aaron hesitated for a while after hearing this, and leaned back helplessly.
"You are really too worried.
I will explain in advance that I will only consider it, but it does not mean that I will choose any of them."
Lisanna breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took out one of the brown papers, "I think this one is good, Avian Lilith."
"Oh my god!" Aaron couldn't help but swear, "Don't tell me she has any relationship with the blood clan."
"Well... She is Lilith's adopted daughter, not a direct descendant, but her status among the immortal species is not low."
"So, she is indeed a blood clan?"
"I guess so!
But she doesn't drink human blood, and can walk in the sun like a normal person. "
Aaron laughed and felt that life was meaningless.
Is this a matter of drinking human blood or not? This is beyond race, and it is too stimulating for a thirteen-year-old child like him.
Vico seemed to understand Aaron's concerns and said, "As long as you like it, some problems are not problems. There is a special magic potion in the family treasury, which is the pinnacle of More's life. Combined with the elixir refined by Lant, it can eliminate the shortcomings in the blood to a certain extent.
As long as she is willing, she can completely get rid of the identity of the blood clan, but her own talent will not be affected. "
Hiss!
Aaron took a breath of cold air, "Are these two ancestors going against the will of heaven?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Vico patted Aaron on the head, "Their original intention was just to remove the toxins in the wizard's blood. If used alone, it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but if used together, it can turn decay into magic. "
"I can't refuse to accept it!" Aaron smiled bitterly, "Step back, even if there is no negative impact, we happen to be in love with each other, will the blood clan agree? That's their little princess!"
"I'll agree." Vico nodded confidently, "And I'm eager to do so, because the person they are marrying is the only heir of the Gaius family."
Aaron blinked and had a clearer understanding of the influence of the Gaius family.
"Next."
Lisanna immediately took out the next piece of paper, "Tignes, from the elf tribe, although her status is relatively low, but I have never seen a girl as sunny as her."
"Hehe! Next."
"Oh!" Lisanna said angrily, "How about this one?
Veronilla, from the mermaid tribe, is a normal mermaid, completely different from the sirens."
"Ah..." Aaron grabbed his hair, "Next."
"Are you dissatisfied?"
"What do you think, mother?" Aaron said weakly, "Even if you want to choose a daughter-in-law, at least find me a normal person!"
"Puff! Hahaha..."
Vico held his stomach and couldn't help laughing, laughing very wantonly.
"Is it that funny?" Lisanna looked at him with a sidelong glance, her voice full of coldness.
Vico couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his exaggerated laughter instantly subsided.
"I said before that your selection was too exaggerated, and my son might not like it."
"But they are really good and will bring great help to my son."
"I don't deny this, the Gaius family can indeed eliminate any bad factors in the bloodline, but..." Halfway through his words, Vico couldn't help laughing again.
"Enough." Aaron slapped the table and said.
"Sorry, son... I really can't help it."
"I understand, I especially understand, if it were me, I would probably laugh my throat hoarse." Aaron gritted his teeth, but looking at the disappointment that was looming on his mother's face, he still suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, "All those who are not human should be excluded! "
Lisana nodded slightly and took out four pieces of brown paper from the remaining seven pieces, which made Aaron's eyelids twitch.
"Son, your mother has really good taste.
I have also investigated these seven girls. Except for their race, they are top-notch in all aspects.
If you want, it's okay to marry more."
Aaron rolled his eyes at his old father, "Don't make it sound so easy to have three wives and four concubines. Why don't you marry more?"
"He dares?"
Vico shuddered immediately, then spread his hands to his son and said with a deep face: "You understand."
"I understand." Aaron nodded with some sympathy, "He has the desire to steal, but not the courage to steal."
"What are you talking about?" Vico was immediately anxious, "It's not that your father doesn't have the conditions or the strength. The love letters I received when I was in school could be used as firewood.
But I didn't take them all seriously. Having your mother in this life is enough."
"You are sensible." Lisanna said with satisfaction.
Aaron didn't grasp the point of the words, but looked at Vico with a dull look, "Father, you also received a love letter."
"Of course..." Vico looked proud, and then realized something, "What do you mean by also, could it be you?"
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Aaron denied it three times directly.
"I understand." Vico winked at Aaron, "I understand everything."
Aaron:......
Fuck! I was careless.
"So, seven of the ten options you gave me are not human?
You think too highly of me!"
Vico shrugged, "Your grandfather and I will definitely not play like this, but you are different, your future will be much more exciting than ours."
"I seem to have heard this somewhere." Aaron thought thoughtfully.
By the way, it seems that several ancestors said this.
But no matter how exciting it is, it won't lead to cross-race love!
"Let's look at the remaining three options first!" Lisanna interrupted the two and put a piece of brown paper in front of Aaron, "Falma Flamel, she is Nicole Flamel's distant niece."
"Uh..." Aaron's mouth twitched, "I can't understand it. As far as I know, Flamel has lived for at least six or seven hundred years. Is his niece... serious?"
"Slip of the tongue." Lisanna smiled awkwardly, "She is a descendant of his relative! She is also one of the few relatives of Flamel in this world.
This girl is good, two years older than you, but I like her personality and appearance, and she inherited Flamel's alchemy, worthy of my son."
"Understood, next one." Aaron said impatiently.
"Hermione Granger." Lisanna shrugged, "Your best female friend at Hogwarts."
Hearing this, Aaron blinked blankly, and said with some tiredness: "Just because we have a good relationship doesn't mean I have to choose her as my fiancée!
Besides, whether she agrees or not is unknown.
I'm curious, why did you choose her?"
"Because I have a good relationship with you, I asked Jeans to keep her in mind.
She is of Muggle origin, but has excellent talent, and the most important thing is that you don't hate her."
"And then she was on this list, which is too hasty!"
"I still have high hopes for her. For our family, her origin is not that important. She is a bit like me before, and she is not the same as you. It's a kind of ignorant love.
If she really likes my son, but can't make up her mind, I can help her."
Bang!
Vicko fell off the sofa, "It's better not."
"What do you mean?" Aaron asked puzzled.
Vicco hesitated to speak, looking at his son with a complicated expression. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that Lisanna was looking at him with a smile.
It was July, but Vicco felt the biting cold wind, which was colder than when he was in Antarctica.
Gulu!
"It means that your own affairs are not suitable for us elders to interfere."
"Don't interfere?" Aaron said contemptuously, "If you don't interfere, you won't prepare these things."
"These are just options, son." Lisanna put the last piece of paper on the table and smiled mysteriously, "The last one, and the one we are most satisfied with, is Keria Darwin."
Aaron, who didn't care at first, stood up immediately, "I don't agree, her brother will kill me."
