Chapter 8 Today I Know the Family Tradition
After eating and drinking, Vico gently stroked Abe's bulging belly and exclaimed: "What a magical creature!"
"Of course, don't you see who its owner is?" Aaron said proudly, and then took it back from Vico's hands.
Seeing his mother's eager eyes during the process, Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, but he ignored it because he couldn't even hold it!
That's right, just now Abe perfectly captured Gaius and his wife with his top cute skills and lovely appearance.
"Son, you may not have understood what I meant. If you make its existence known to the public, as the person who discovered and subdued it, you will gain unimaginable fame for ordinary people.
In the magic world, although magical creatures are precious, there are many of them. As long as you have enough opportunities or a high enough status, you still have a chance to meet them.
But your pet is a unique species, and its appearance will definitely cause a sensation in the magic world."
Aaron looked down at the pet in his arms, looked into Vico's eyes very calmly, and said lightly: "I don't want to do this. I believe you know what I mean, father."
Vico shrugged, turned his head to look at Lisanna, and smiled: "I knew it would be like this."
"It's good," Lisanna smiled She smiled, "This is our son."
Then, she looked at Jins, "Give it to him! This way, we won't have come here in vain."
"Yes." Jins took out a document from a briefcase and handed it to Aaron, "Master, this is an agreement signed by the master and his wife on the way back with some retired seniors of the Magic Council and some respected magicians.
It can prove that Abe was hatched from the dragon egg passed down by the Gaius family for thousands of years, and it is your private property. As long as you can ensure that this dragon can obey your orders 100% and will not easily harm others, you can raise it openly."
"Hiss!" Aaron took a breath.
Is it so efficient? Before he said anything, his parents had finished the job.
"What about the Ministry of Magic?"
"Don't worry about that. Every name on this agreement is respected by the Ministry of Magic.
With their combined power, even the Ministry of Magic must give in."
Aaron was moved by what he heard. Although he didn't know how his parents invited these magicians, he was sure that they must have paid a lot of benefits.
Vico naturally saw his son's thoughts and felt relieved.
He was only eleven years old and had already started to consider the gains and losses, but in fact it was not as serious as he thought.
The ancient magician families in the magic world all help each other, and the Gaius family knows what it means to be kind to others and almost never make enemies with other families.
They know how to be low-key and have a deep foundation and rich network resources.
The couple went to visit each one, gave some gifts, and had a cup of tea.
After all, it was just a harmless dragon. They just came out to express their attitude and there would be no loss.
On the contrary, if they help, the Gaius family will naturally remember their favor and help them when they need it in the future. This is tacitly understood.
"Ahem! Don't think too much.
You are the heir of the Gaius family. Before you grow up, your mother and I will protect you as much as possible. Abe's matter is our compensation for leaving you alone at home for a long time."
"Humph!" Aaron curled his lips, "Then forgive you."
Lisanna looked at Vico unexpectedly, and saw him making an OK gesture under the table, and rolled her eyes unconsciously.
She was from the Ollivander family and was also a pure-blood wizard. Looking at the state of the father and son, she could guess what they were thinking.
Her baby son was probably fooled, and he was the kind of person who made up his mind.
It is not a good thing to mature too early, because it may cause wrong judgments due to not understanding the situation.
But she didn't say anything after all. After all, she was also a vested interest. The more her son felt bad about this, the harder he would work in the days ahead, and the couple's lives would be much easier. It was a win-win situation!
"By the way, Aaron..." Vico suddenly remembered something, and his face gradually became serious. "You said you wanted to go to Hogwarts?
I think you should think about it carefully before making a decision."
"There's nothing to consider." Aaron said directly: "Life is precious, love is more precious, if it's for freedom, both can be abandoned.
You arranged Jins to be next to me, and I don't know who else there is besides him.
But the protection in your eyes is an invasion of my personal privacy. I have grown up so much. Except at home, I feel that someone is following me anywhere else. It's particularly awkward.
So, don't think about me going to Durmstrang. At least in Hogwarts, I can experience the long-lost freedom.
You won't understand this feeling if you haven't experienced it."
Hearing his son's words, Vico was silent. After a while, he laughed at himself, "Who said I haven't experienced it?"
"Huh?" Aaron opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly had a very strange guess in his mind, "No way! Dad, are you the same?"
"That's right." Vico shrugged and said helplessly: "Your grandfather also arranged it for me.
Not only me, your grandfather was also arranged by your great-grandfather, and your great-grandfather was also arranged by your great-grandfather.
In short, this is the tradition of our Gaius family, which has lasted for thousands of years.
So, don't say in front of me that you don't understand you, no one understands you better than me.
In fact, Dad also wants to thank you. If you weren't mature and stable enough, your mother and I wouldn't have made up our minds to travel around the world.
Originally, this plan was to start after you became an adult, and even further, until you got married and had children, but your performance brought it forward by many years."
Aaron's mouth twitched violently, and he suddenly thought of something, "Wait, so my grandfather didn't disappear when I was five years old, but..."
"You guessed right, because your father I am incompetent, he has been worried.
Plus, you were born, and for the fun of taking care of grandchildren, he will release himself a little later. He should be feeding penguins in Antarctica now!
You will definitely not see him in the short term, but he will definitely come back when you take over the family or get married."
"Haha!" Ling Ge sneered, resisting the urge to slam the table, "What kind of bullshit tradition is this, I want to protest."
Viko glanced at his wife and smiled bitterly, "Protest is invalid.
I protested before, but was severely rejected by your grandfather.
After having you, I also realized the importance of this family rule. Before growing up, necessary protection is indeed indispensable."
Aaron now understood why his parents traveled around the world when he was eight years old. They couldn't help it.
But it's true. It's not easy to get rid of the guardianship sent by the previous generation, and have to take care of the child. It's not easy to persist for eight years.
At this moment, Aaron suddenly thought that he would have to follow this process in the future. His heart was filled with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then blood rained down. Both arms unconsciously increased their strength.
It was not until Abe was strangled and could not hold on that he barely came back to his senses by hammering his arms with his little claws.
"Then according to our family tradition, when can we be truly free?"
Vico smiled and looked at his son with more doting eyes, "This is relatively simple. There are several ways. The simplest one is to defeat those who protect you and prove with strength that you don't need their protection.
Your talent is better than mine, and you can definitely complete it before graduation."
Just when Aaron was about to ask the second question, he heard the following sentence, and looked at Vico with a little more sympathy, "Dad, you are so pitiful! Didn't you beat them before graduation?"
Vico was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and Lisanna couldn't help laughing.
"What about the second one?"
"The second one is to have children. As long as you can raise a descendant who is better than you, then congratulations, you are free.
Although it is a bit difficult, this is for the blood inheritance, so you can't be careless."
Aaron suddenly shuddered. I'm only eleven years old! Do you think this is really suitable?
"What else?"
"The third one, which is the last one." Vicko's face became serious, "Graduate from school, that is, reach the level of magician before the age of eighteen."
Aaron:......
Is there any difference between saying this and not saying it?
"Isn't this one redundant? If I had the ability, I would have gained freedom through the first method."
"That's not necessarily true." Vicco said meaningfully, and he looked at Genes, "Your uncle Genes is a magician.
According to the first rule, you must defeat at least one magician!"
"Fuck!"
Lisanna glared at her son angrily, "Don't say dirty words."
Vicco stepped forward and gently patted his son's shoulder, saying earnestly: "In fact, thanks to this fine tradition of our family, almost every generation is above the level of magician, and it is also considered a strong family in the magic world.
But the disadvantage is that after completing the family trial, everyone is particularly free and easy, even active, which leads to the separation of relatives.
If your grandfather didn't lie to me, your great-grandfather or even your great-grandfather should still be alive, but I don't know where they are wandering!"
