138: Uncle, the Griffin Duke

At the entrance of the mansion, several people were already waiting, and Arthur recognized all of them.

The middle-aged man leading them was his mother Charlotte’s elder brother, and also the current legitimate eldest son of the Griffin Family, Sava-Gryphon.

Of course, he was also Arthur’s uncle.

Behind Arthur’s uncle were his children, who were Arthur’s cousins!

“Sister! It’s been years, you’re getting more beautiful!”

When Arthur’s uncle saw Charlotte, his face immediately showed doting affection, indicating his deep love for his sister, Charlotte!

Hearing this, Charlotte, a woman in her fifties, blushed and retorted, annoyed:

“Brother, you’re such an old man, yet still so unreliable!”

Regarding the warm reunion scene between the siblings, not only Arthur but even his father, Abergh, quietly stood by, not daring to disturb them.

After the siblings finished catching up!

Both sides exchanged greetings, and Arthur also greeted his uncle and cousins.

Then Arthur’s Family, led by his uncle, walked into the mansion.

On the way, not only Arthur but many others keenly noticed that Arthur’s uncle, Sava, had become worried at some point.

Seeing this, Charlotte, as his sister, immediately asked:

“Brother, what are you thinking about? Why do you suddenly look so troubled?”

Sava was startled to hear this; it seemed he hadn't realized his expression was off.

Then he replied helplessly:

“There have been too many recent changes in the kingdom, and even our Griffin Family doesn't know if we can continue our Legacy. As for tomorrow’s gathering, I don't know if it will bring fortune or disaster!”

“As for tomorrow’s gathering, I don't know if it will bring fortune or disaster!”

Hearing that Sava was worried about the Family’s Legacy due to the kingdom’s recent situation.

Charlotte subtly glanced at Arthur; she had heard Arthur say that the recent chaos in the kingdom was due to the organization behind him.

However, with Arthur around, that organization wouldn't harm them, so Charlotte quickly comforted him:

“The Griffin Family has been passed down for several hundred years; it certainly won’t perish in our hands.

As for tomorrow’s gathering, it should be for selecting the new king, there won’t be any malice.

If those Legendary Experts in the palace want something, they can just say so; would we dare not give it to them?!”

Hearing Charlotte’s comfort, Sava’s expression clearly improved, and he forced a smile:

“I hope so!”

After walking for a few more minutes, Arthur and his group arrived at a garden-like area, with a pavilion in the center capable of accommodating dozens of people, surrounded by blooming flowers.

Arthur thought they would be led to a reception hall or similar place, but it was a garden. It seemed his maternal grandfather truly put thought into it.

Meeting in a garden was clearly more intimate than in a reception hall.

In the center of the garden pavilion, the man seated at the head was a middle-aged man with an imposing presence, who was the current Duke of the Griffin Family and Arthur’s maternal grandfather.

He possessed the strength of a Sky Knight, granting him a lifespan of five hundred years, but this Duke Gryphon was only in his eighties.

Compared to a five-hundred-year lifespan, he was still very young, making him appear outwardly as a man in his prime.

Speaking of which, Arthur’s maternal grandfather was also considered a Legendary figure who saved the Griffin Family from peril.

Because before he achieved a Breakthrough to Sky Knight, the previous Sky Knight of the Griffin Family was already very old.

If Arthur’s maternal grandfather hadn’t broken through to Sky Knight, the Griffin Family’s Sky Knight Legacy would have been interrupted.

Then they would have no strength to protect the Duke’s vast wealth, and would certainly be severely impacted by other greedy nobles carving it up.

However, all of this did not happen due to Arthur’s maternal grandfather’s Breakthrough, so he was indeed a Legendary figure.

And this Duke Gryphon, therefore, held immense prestige within the Griffin Family.

At least Arthur noticed upon arrival.

The other Griffin Family members already in the pavilion, numbering over twenty, were likely other important members of the Griffin Family.

Not a single one dared to whisper; all were sitting upright and respectfully.

When Duke Gryphon saw Arthur and his group arrive, he was initially all smiles, presumably eager to see his beloved daughter, grandson, and granddaughter.

But soon, the renowned Duke Gryphon’s face showed an expression of disbelief.

It is known that, without using special means, people of higher strength can vaguely perceive the Realm of those weaker than them.

And Duke Gryphon, as a Sky Knight, discovered something that greatly shocked him.

That is, not only Arthur, but also his elder brother Art, second sister Arina, and even one of Arthur’s wives, Karona, had all reached the Earth Knight level.

One must know that these individuals were all under thirty years old, yet they had all broken through to Earth Knight!

Such Geniuses had never appeared in the Griffin Family, but now Arthur’s Family had them in abundance!

How could Duke Gryphon not be shocked!

Among Arthur’s Family, only Olivia had not yet broken through to Earth Knight, due to the short time she had been using dragon blood.

But she was already at the Gold Knight Realm!

As for Abergh and Charlotte, since they had broken through to Sky Knight, Duke Gryphon could not ascertain their strength.

But Duke Gryphon was also a smart man; he used to be able to detect their strength, but now he couldn't.

Coupled with the unusual strength of Arthur and the others, a terrifying thought emerged in Duke Gryphon’s mind.

That is, Charlotte and Abergh had both broken through to the same Sky Knight Realm as him, otherwise, how could he not detect their strength!

Thinking this, Duke Gryphon immediately stood up abruptly.

Completely disregarding the astonished gazes of those around him, he strode forward to Charlotte, who had just entered the pavilion.

He said excitedly:

“Daughter, have you finally broken through in strength?!”

In fact, before coming to the Royal Capital, Arthur and Charlotte had considered the issue of their strength being exposed.

Arthur’s attitude was that there was no need to worry at all.

Because Geniuses like them were nothing special on the entire continent; with Legendary Experts as their backing, they could be carefree.

So, when Charlotte realized Duke Gryphon had detected something, she didn’t panic, but rather smiled and nodded.

She was completely like a daughter showing off in front of her father.

“Yes, Father, not only me, but Abergh too, has finally caught up to your pace!”

The many recent changes in the kingdom had placed an unimaginable burden on the heart of this Duke Gryphon, who should have been full of vigor.

Now, suddenly receiving the good news of his daughter’s Family’s rapid increase in strength, he immediately burst into laughter:

“Good, good, very good!

I didn't expect that after not seeing you for nearly two years, you would bring me such a huge surprise. Now you are all Sky Knights and Grand Magisters, and this puts my mind at ease!”
