Baron Farmien's sword was about to hit Ed's neck. The air was filled with tension and everyone's heart was in their throat.
At this critical moment, a flash of sword light passed by and directly blocked Baron Farmien's sword, making a crisp collision sound.
Baron Famian looked at the sword that bounced off his hand in astonishment. He turned around and saw that it was his eldest son, Fizzi Famian, standing in front of Ed, with the sword in his hand flashing with a bright black light.
"Brother!" Kenan was surprised and delighted, and almost subconsciously shouted to Feiqi.
When Baron Farmien saw his son, his face was filled with astonishment, and his heart was filled with endless longing and excitement. He threw away the sword in his hand, walked up to Fizzi, grabbed his arm with both hands, and felt a mixture of emotions, not knowing what to say.
Fizzi's time at the Arcane Academy made him more mature and stable, and he seemed to have experienced a lot.
"Father, I'm back." Fizzi's voice was warm and firm. At that moment, Baron Famian felt that all his fatigue and anxiety had disappeared, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!" Baron Famian's voice was filled with excitement and relief. He looked at Fizzi with a complex expression on his face, then looked at Ed behind him, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Feizi, are you going to stop me too?" Baron Famion finally spoke, confusion in his voice.
Feiqi looked at his father, then turned to Ed and smiled, and said seriously, "Father, I was the one who facilitated the relationship between Conan and Ed, and I acquiesced to it."
Baron Famion's face darkened when he heard these words, anger and confusion intertwined, "Why?"
"I want to find an opponent for my brother who can work together with me, and also a friend who can be trusted after his death." Baron Famien found it difficult to understand what Fez said. Why were his two sons so concerned about a servant?
Baron Famion opened his mouth and was about to say something when he heard Fizzi say, "Father, you know, the Arcane Academy is a very wonderful place. Once upon a time, I thought I was an omnipotent genius, but after arriving there, I realized that I was just sitting in a well and looking at the world."
Baron Famion listened to Fei Qi's helpless tone, and felt distressed for some reason. "No, son, you are a genius. You are an absolute genius in the field of swordsmanship."
Feiqi forced a smile, with a hint of bitterness in his expression, "Genius? Well, I am indeed a genius, but in the Arcane Academy, there are geniuses like me everywhere."
These words shocked Conan and Ed, especially Conan, who had never beaten his brother in swordsmanship, and his brother said that there were people like him everywhere in the Arcane Academy.
Feiqi said to himself: "Father, I thought that with my talent and hard work, I could easily enter the student union of the Arcane Academy, but the reality is that I can't even pass the threshold of the student union."
"Of course, this also inspired my fighting spirit. I didn't fall behind in any studies and I can endure hardships better than anyone else. But even so, my grades can only be ranked in the middle." Feiqi smiled bitterly, but there was no particular loss in his tone. Instead, there was a hint of pride.
Baron Famion interrupted Fizzi and said, "Okay, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Now I have to deal with Conan and this servant."
Fizzi reached out and grabbed his father's arm, shaking his head, "Father, you can't execute Ed."
"Why!" Baron Famen asked angrily, one after another, what kind of magic potion had this servant drugged his two sons into.
"Father, the Famion family needs Ed if it wants to rise. Although I am reluctant to admit it, your son is far inferior to the servant you mentioned in terms of talent and qualifications. He is a real monster, who can truly advance on the same stage as those geniuses among geniuses." Fizzi's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Baron Famion's heart, making him unbelievable.
"What did you say? How could it be possible for a servant?" Baron Famen asked angrily, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. He couldn't understand why Fizzi admired Ed so much.
"Father, you must believe me." Fizzi's tone became anxious. "In the academy, I have seen many geniuses. Their talents and efforts make me feel ashamed. Ed is not an ordinary servant. He has an innate magical talent and can even compete with those monsters in the academy."
"Are you kidding, Fizzi? He's just a commoner, how can he be compared with the son of a noble?" Baron Famion's voice was full of doubt, unable to accept such a fact.
"Father, you must put aside your prejudice against your status." Feiqi's voice was firm and powerful. "Ed's talent is the best I've ever seen. You may find it hard to believe that Ed learned the entire set of basic imperial sword skills in just fifteen days. Although I didn't go home this year, I have actually been paying attention to my brother and Ed."
At this time, the old butler Langman came forward, knelt in front of Baron Famion, lowered his head and said, "Baron, I have actually been in contact with the eldest son."
"Father, Ed is a genius! He is the hope for the rise of our Famion family!" Fizzi looked at his father very seriously.
Baron Famenn was shocked when he heard these words, and his anger was gradually replaced by complex emotions. His eyes wandered between Fizzi and Ed, and finally stared at Conan, as if thinking about something.
"Conan, are you really willing to give up your future for this servant?" Baron Famion's voice was low and helpless.
"I do, father." Conan answered without hesitation, with a determined light in his eyes. "Ed is my friend. I will never abandon him."
Baron Famien felt his heart was torn. As a father, he hoped that Conan could inherit the family's glory and become an outstanding nobleman; but as a baron, he had to admit that Conan and Fizzi's persistence forced him to re-examine the world.
"I will give you a chance." Baron Famion finally spoke, his tone revealing helplessness and powerlessness, "I will let Ed live, but you must prove to me his worth."
When Conan heard his father's words of compromise, his face instantly became happy. He ran to Ed and hugged him excitedly.
Ed never thought that he would be favored by the eldest son. He looked at Fei Qi with gratitude, but Fei Qi shook his head and said, "Don't be too grateful to me. In fact, it is a transaction between us. To be precise, it is an investment. Our Famion family invested in you."
