652 Chapter 652-returning to the family

Zhao Xu was walking on the ground of Yanan, but Antonya’s last piece of advice was still lingering in his mind.

“Those who possess the cursed Flame will definitely do something strange.”

Those who possessed flame curses had different characteristics, from technique, talent, to the magic energy in their bodies.

Once one had a flame curse, the easiest way to use it was to heal or create an explosive wave of fire, or even absorb the magical effects that came into contact with it.

As for those who were proficient in flame curses, they could even achieve more effects.

For example, releasing multiple waves of cursed flames in one go or directly controlling the cursed flames to fly.

Compared to magic that was driven by ” magic incantations, ” the power of the source of magic, flame curse, was a more primitive and unrestrained ability.

However, even though Antonya had explained a lot about the effects of the fire curse to him, he still didn’t know what to do.

zhao xu still wasn’t able to immediately awaken this cursed fire energy.

It was as if his ‘luck card’ had expired and needed to be topped up again.

It was rumored that there would only be one fire curse Awakener in every era.

This meant that if it was Zhao Xu who had awakened the cursed fire in this generation, that would mean that Wang Ningwei, asvich, and the others from his generation had all lost the chance to awaken the cursed fire.

Even among the chosen of the goddess who had Silver Fire, only the most senior ones could come into contact with the threshold of the cursed fire.

At this moment, Zhao Xu was quietly walking back to his own house, and he was still thinking about the most classic ways to use it that Antonya had pointed out to him.

When the first Flame spell was used, it could absorb spells with the target as a preparatory action, just like the ‘absorption scepter’.

The legendary ” absorbing scepter ” worth 50000 gold coins was a ” spell magnet ” that could absorb targeted spells and store the energy in the scepter.

At the same time, the holder of the scepter could use the energy absorbed by the scepter as a spell.

For example, absorbing Level 6 and level 3 spells stored the energy of level 9 spells, which could be used to cast a number of spells with a total of nine levels.

A scepter of absorption could only absorb 50-circle energy. After releasing a total of 50-circle spells, the scepter would return to an ordinary wooden stick.

The 50000 gold coins immediately fell to nothing.

this was because a wooden stick was something that could be casually picked up by the roadside.

However, cursed fire wasn’t that exaggerated. It couldn’t be compared to a scepter that could absorb energy infinitely.

Zhao Xu’s Constitution was now 27, and it had been adjusted to 8, so he could absorb a total of level 8 spell energy.

However, he couldn’t use it as a magic circle. Instead, he could shoot out cursed fire energy arrows like silver Fire, and the damage per circle was only 1-6 points.

The rest of the spells were used to heal damage. One-ring healing 2 points of damage was better than nothing.

So Zhao Xu thought about it several times.

Apart from the powerful effect of this ‘absorption spell,’ he couldn’t figure out why the ‘cursed fire’ was a power of a higher level than the ‘Silver Fire’.

Not to mention, it was an extremely crucial ” key “?

Just as Zhao Xu’s mind was locked up and he was thinking about all this, he soon arrived at his house that was located in the capital.

At first, in order to avoid chaos, Zhao Xu didn’t arrange for his parents to stay in the office building inside the spellcaster Association. Instead, he arranged for them to stay in a luxurious house not far away from him. He had also considered that this would take up a larger area.

Zhao Xu’s family wasn’t the kind of people who were extremely extravagant.

It was just that humans were social animals.

As order started to be established in Yanan, Zhao Xu’s close relatives and good friends were slowly arranged to move to Yanan’s capital.

At this moment, after interacting with Zhao Xu’s parents, who were already of extraordinary status, even the stupidest person would realize that Zhao Xu had a connection with the legendary ” zhongxia.

On one hand, it was because Zhao Xu’s parents wanted to live in a more lively place. On the other hand, living in a single place was easier to manage and arrange for the allocation of supplies. At the same time, there was also security.

It was to avoid attracting the jealousy and hatred of those who were jealous.

That was why Zhao Xu had left some room for himself at the start and arranged for his parents to live in a big house with dozens of rooms.

After all, it was a difficult season, so they could only arrange it according to the Family-to-Family arrangement.

However, he didn’t expect that the dozens of rooms would be filled with all kinds of relatives and friends who had come to seek shelter in just two days.

Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding and automatically spread out based on their relationship with Father Zhao and mother Zhao, with their room as the center.

As the room was suddenly filled with people, naturally, the news was not so well-informed. When the relatives who were not very close to each other came, they lowered their heads and stomped their feet.

However, they were not willing to leave. They would rather sleep on the floor in the hall and endure it. They could even get free food every day.

Not to mention that a storm was coming, and no one could guess how long the storm would last. No matter how shy Zhao Xu’s relatives were, they still had to take care of their husband, wife, children, and the elderly at home.

They even packed up and came over without a care.

Father Zhao was born in a family that still had a strong clan style. Not long ago, the Zhao branch had revised their family tree.

Originally, they could only contact each other through the phone. Now, they could directly form a family group of hundreds of people.

Their childhood friends, who had not seen each other for decades and were somewhat distant, were all connected again through the ‘group’.

Zhao Xu finally understood.

The number of ” relatives ” he had in mind was not limited to the group he visited during the holidays.

They were the only child in their generation, so they naturally did not have any siblings.

However, his grandparents, his parents, and even his parents ‘relatives and friends were not on the same level at all.

These people even had their own close relatives, such as in-laws, which were uncountable.

and zhao xu’s mother herself was a soft-hearted person.

In fact, she even thought that Zhao Xu’s sudden rise to the heavens was a blessing from the heavens. She didn’t know how much good fortune his ancestors had accumulated in exchange for this.

It was naturally to do more good things for him to accumulate good fortune so that he could have a peaceful life for the rest of his life.

At the same time, it was fine if the adults were suffering, but she really couldn’t bear to see the children suffering. Naturally, she wouldn’t refuse anyone who came to seek shelter.

In the end, Zhao Xu arranged for his family to live in three townhouses with more than a hundred rooms, but the place was still packed.

Even though each room was allocated to one family, there were only three to five registered people.

However, after each household moved in, they would continue to stuff their relatives in. In the end, more than ten people would sleep on the floor and live in one room.

Before the storm passed, no one would easily leave this ” House ” that was definitely the strongest and guarded to the last moment.

As long as Zhao Xu was still a human, he would make the choice that everyone expected.

However, food was another matter.

Yanan’s initial food rations were distributed according to the labor force, and they were all distributed like porridge.

At this time, even the experienced farmers in the countryside, no matter how capable they were, could not save the time to sow and harvest, and could not dig out the food from the soil.

Naturally, he didn’t need Zhao Xu’s reminder to know that his family would be given the best resources.

With Zhao Xu’s four-circle Wargod spell ” create military rations, ” it wasn’t a big problem for a soldier with three to four thousand people to speak.

Therefore, according to Zhao Fu’s parents ‘thoughts, all registered relatives would gather together for three meals a day, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food was the best in the Wildlands, and they could eat as much as they could. They couldn’t take it away.

However, as the various clans desperately tried to send in more people, a familiar strange phenomenon naturally appeared.

It meant that a unit had a fixed number of 300 people, but the actual number of people was more than 1000.

The usual distribution of benefits was naturally shared among 1000 people.

Although the population of Jia sai could still rely on the work of ya Nan to eat gruel, it was much inferior to The Daily Meal of the Zhao family.

In the end, Zhao Yu’s mother couldn’t bear to see him like this. Every day, she would take three people back to each room after the meal.

As for how they would distribute it equally to the rest of the people, that was up to each family.

originally, zhao xu didn’t feel any burden at all when he took care of everyone.

In fact, it would make his mother even happier. Even if Zhao Xu cast seven or eight more war spells in a row, it would be as easy as lifting his hand.

However, father Zhao had been in the business world for many years. He directly pointed out that if he really dared to come and not refuse, he would also take care of the relatives and friends that he had brought along.

that would only cause the snowball to get bigger and bigger.

The next day, the number of people to be supplied increased to 3000.

On the third day, it became 10000 people. In the end, even the entire Yanan capital had to rely on various connections to make him supply an unlimited amount.

Therefore, the extra food was distributed according to the rooms. How many people they could take care of with the food for three people was their own ability.

Zhao Xu quickly returned to his extremely noisy house. When the guards in the outer circle saw him, they quickly lowered their heads and bowed to show their deepest respect.

These guards were known by the commoners outside as the pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. They were able to come into contact with the top existences of Yanan at all times.

In an instant, a few young men who had just finished eating and were chatting at the door immediately greeted Zhao Xu.

“Xu-GE, you’re here?”

“did you find time today?”

“Hurry and sit down. I’ll call Auntie out.”

“Auntie, Xu-GE is back!”

As the sound waves spread out, the silence in the townhouse was broken by the morning roosters ‘cries. All the rooms were now filled with noise as if everyone was moving because of Zhao Xu’s arrival.

Zhao Xu was also having a headache over this.

In fact, he really didn’t know any of the people standing at the door.

On one hand, these people were not senior enough for his parents to introduce them to him during his rare few visits home.

Now, every time he went home for a gathering, his parents would be unable to get rid of the favor, or they wanted to take care of the ” outstanding ” juniors in the family, so they would pull them in front of him and introduce them to him.

Those who were standing at the door naturally didn’t get the chance to do so, so they simply went to the door to wait for them. They didn’t expect to really meet them.

however, zhao xu’s pace was extremely fast, and he could even activate advanced teleportation at any time to seamlessly switch between places and head straight into the courtyard.

Even if there was an extremely thick wall in front of him, Zhao Xu could see right through it and he didn’t feel like there was any obstacle in front of him at all.

And Zhao Xu didn’t bother to educate these distant relatives of Yanan’s who didn’t even bother to join in the construction work after they were full.

To be honest, he had already somewhat understood the thoughts of some of the great clans in ancient times. Why did they still have to raise a bunch of clan trash despite knowing that this was not good?

Even though he saw that these people seemed to be a bit lazy and didn’t want to do anything, he could still read their minds, so he could feel that they were genuinely happy when they met Zhao Xu.

Even the ” sincerity ” they had when they addressed Zhao Xu’s parents couldn’t be faked.

It wasn’t like in the outside world where he could always meet a few people with thoughts like ‘I can replace you’ or ‘you’re just lucky’.

Of course, there was also the existence of those who couldn’t bear to see their relatives doing well.

But Zhao Xu had already reached such a high level. He had even become everyone’s bread and butter, so naturally, he wasn’t as ” narrow-minded ” as he had been at the beginning.

It could be said that everyone in the house at this moment was looking forward to Zhao Xu’s glory and glory.

Soon, Zhao Xu also arrived at the main hall. At this moment, his parents were naturally sitting at the head of the table, and all of the Zhao family’s relatives who were of some status had also gathered here. However, only a few of them were qualified to sit on a chair.

Most of the young people were still standing at the edge of the hall, staring at them with wide eyes.

At this moment, most of the elders in the family were nodding happily at Zhao Xu. Even Zhao Xu’s grandmothers were grinning from ear to ear when they saw him nod at them. It was as if they had just encountered the happiest thing in their lives.

Before Zhao Xu had returned to his hometown in Douyu, he had sat quietly in his family and had a meal. He had wanted to go far.

For a moment, the way they looked at Zhao Xu wasn’t as cold as before. Zhao Xu’s close relatives, uncles, and relatives all started talking to Zhao Xu.

“Xiao Xu, stay for dinner tonight.”

“Yeah, I haven’t seen you in so many years. Let’s have a good chat tonight.”

that’s right. Our old Zhao family has a person like you. It’s also considered a prominent family.

for a moment, zhao xu couldn’t even respond even if he opened his mouth three times.

Zhao Xu’s family wasn’t stupid, and they were fair in everything they did.

And these were Zhao Xu’s closest relatives, so they received the most care in private. They even received resources from mother Zhao, who was in charge of distributing the resources, and they took good care of their relatives and friends.

In fact, many people didn’t even need to freeload off this meal at Zhao Xu’s house.

but still, no one left, because everyone knew that the most important thing for them to do was to stay in this house and get close to zhao xu’s parents. this would affect their future.

“xiao xu, thank the heavens, you’re finally here.”

when she saw zhao xu return, mother zhao finally felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders. she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

“Hurry up and take a look at your aunt Liu’s daughter. How is she now?”

zhao xu’s expression was also very serious.

he had already seen a girl lying on the ground with a pale face and weak breath.

This was the reason why his mother had wanted him to come back so urgently, and why Zhao Xu had no choice but to ask Antonya for half a day off.
