Brent was born in Familio Manor, but his birth was not glorious.
He is an illegitimate son of the direct line of the Familio family. A few years after he was born, his mother was abused to death, and he himself was also bullied in the family.
Without a teacher to teach him magic, he was unable to resist when faced with bullying from his peers.
Although he was still young, he was already accustomed to hiding inside the manor, avoiding crowded places to protect himself.
At the age of seven, he knew exactly which corner of the manor was the most secret and which place was the most remote.
It was also at this time that he discovered the darkness behind the Familio family.
In this era of scarce elements, the glory of the ancient family is also in danger and crumbling. After the death of the previous white-robed wizard in the family, the Familio family is eager for a new white-robed wizard to be born, so they read ancient books and conducted countless research experiments. In the process of seeking power, they finally went astray uncontrollably.
Little Brant discovered the secret room and prison deep underground in the family.
There are magical creatures imprisoned with wounds all over their bodies.
The wizards of the Famiglio family used all kinds of forbidden and evil experimental methods on these magical creatures.
Almost every few days, a magical creature would die and a new one would be quietly transported in.
In the eyes of his people, life is a consumable like a stepping stone and is not worth mentioning.
At that moment, seven-year-old Brent finally saw the corruption and darkness within this family.
In order to maintain a glamorous appearance, the surname Familio has long been filled with filth and dirt.
The first time he entered the underground prison, he did so by accident.
I was almost discovered by the guards.
If he was discovered, his fate would probably not be good.
But at that time, an elf covered for him.
It was a forest elf, tortured to the point of being emaciated, but when he was in panic, it took the initiative to help him, helped a human child.
In such a hurry, he didn't even have time to ask the other person's name, but asked first, "Why did you save me?"
He is of the same race as those murderers who tortured the elves.
The elf said, you are different from them. They are demons in human skin, but you are still a child.
The elf looked at him steadily. There are always countless possibilities for the child's future. I want to leave here, and you may be the only one who can help me.
That look was paranoid and calm, like a sharp arrow carrying fire, piercing straight into his eyes and into his heart.
Not long after leaving the underground prison, little Brant returned here again - as a daily handyman here - a new handyman was needed here. He found out about this by chance, pretended to be ignorant, and applied for the job.
His identity as an illegitimate child finally came in handy for once. In such a secret place, the Familio family still preferred to have people of the same blood as them serve them.
He was chosen by the family's upper echelons without much consideration.
He came to the cage again and spent most of his time every day in this dark and depressing underground.
Why did you choose to come here?
Although little Brant wanted to say that this place was safer and more private to him than any other corner of the manor, allowing him to avoid the malicious teasing and bullying of his peers, the reality was not so.
Not because of this.
He came here because he could not forget the elf's paranoid and calmness at that time, as if a cold flame was burning fiercely in his eyes, full of pursuit and desire for freedom.
He also couldn't forget the look on his face that weighed heavily on his shoulders when the elf said, "You may be the only one who can help me."
He finally had the chance to find out the elf's name.
The elf's name is Joshua, and he is the "old man" in the prison.
All the experimental subjects who had been working with him at the same time had died on the experimental table, leaving only him.
His later experimental subjects were also consumed one after another, but he still kept them.
It is said that he once possessed great strength, which is why he was able to last so long.
But after working in the cage for a long time, Little Brandt felt that Joshua's ability to stay alive had little to do with his powerful strength, but was entirely dependent on his extremely strong spirit - he would never admit defeat, never compromise, and never give up before he was free.
He wanted to be free and didn't want to die in a cage underground.
When little Brandt had been working in the cage for almost half a year, Joshua once again took the initiative to call him.
"Hey, kid. Do you want to learn magic?"
Brent certainly thought so.
The elf smiled, "They say that by using me, one can become a powerful wizard. My blood, flesh, and bones are filled with the keys to the power that wizards seek."
"Make a promise with me." His emerald eyes once again flashed with a paranoid and calm light, a passionate light like a moth flying into a flame for freedom, "My blood, my flesh, my bones, my soul, you can take whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you step on my corpse to get to the top. Just remember, when everything is over, take a part of me - be it bones or hair - take me away from here, leave the underground, and walk into the sunlight."
He said almost forcefully: "You come and use me. Then save me."
A tone that does not tolerate any rejection.
Brent seemed to be bewitched, he agreed and made this agreement with Joshua.
The powerful forest elves generously provided their flesh and blood to Brant.
With the help of the little knowledge he had secretly learned and the clear spell rules contained in the magic materials, Brent grew quietly and accumulated strength in the deep underground prison year after year.
From the age of seven to twelve, in five years, he was promoted to a high-level wizard in a corner unknown to his fellow tribesmen.
He is a genius.
Five years also allowed him, Joshua, and other magical creatures in the prison who were willing to get involved to plan an attack to subvert the entire Familio family.
This attack was the manor explosion that later shocked Iluf.
Taking advantage of the family gathering, using the high-level materials accumulated over the past five years, under Joshua's guidance, they arranged a terrifying elemental explosion, wiping out the core of the family - no one would have thought that there would be family members willing to stand on the side of the magical creatures and destroy their own family. No one would have thought that the magical creatures, who had been devastated by humans, would dare to trust humans again, bet everything on humans, and devote all they had.
The Familio family, who sought power by stepping on the corpses of countless magical creatures, could not have imagined this, and therefore they paid a heavy and painful price.
Having lost its backbone, the Familio family completely collapsed in the following years.
The famous Familio was gradually forgotten by Iluf.
And the magical creatures in the underground prison finally gained freedom.
Joshua also survived, although extremely weak, but still alive.
Brent didn't have to carry his bones or hair out of the underground. He could walk out by himself and see the blue sky and sunshine that he had not seen for many years.
The magical creatures in the same cage scattered away.
However, after the association's army that came to investigate the magical accident left, Brent brought Joshua back to the ruins of the manor and settled down there again.
Because Joshua stayed in the cage for too long and went through too many banned experiments.
His body was worn out and he was almost exhausted.
I once held on for freedom and persisted stubbornly.
But when I walked out of the cage and fulfilled my wish, the anger was about to dissipate.
It was Brent who refused to give up and tried every possible way to treat him.
Joshua's body could not withstand the fatigue of the journey, so Brent thought about it and decided to return to the ruins of the manor and settle Joshua there.
Afterwards, Brent passed the exam to become a wizard apprentice and the lord of a village near the manor, so that he could take care of Joshua openly. At the same time, he joined the Secret Alliance and obtained medical supplies through various channels to maintain Joshua's life.
They had lived peacefully for so many years.
Until the night when Ash and the other two came from Stonehenge and stayed at Brant's wizard tower.
Someone attacked Familio Manor and wanted to capture the forest elf Joshua.
Joshua narrowly escaped and came to Brandt's wizard tower for help.
"It was Ash who discovered Joshua's call for help." Brent looked at Ash, still with a grateful look, "Otherwise..."
His eyes darkened for a moment, then brightened again: "The attackers are from the Secret Alliance. To be more precise, they are the people in the Secret Alliance who have cooperated with the mysterious organization. They are also the ones who cooperated with the Familio family and sold magical creatures to the Familio family. Joshua was captured by them and sold to the manor."
He was smiling, but anyone who saw his smile couldn't help but feel a chill: "They hurt Joshua, how can they just let it go like this?"
So he conducted an in-depth investigation, intending to eradicate the mysterious organization.
Then I met Meng and Jian.
He said all this not just to explain to Sigourney and the others that he had a grudge against the mysterious organization.
Sigourney's eyes were cold, and she pointed out directly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Brent smiled and said, "I want to make a deal with you. But before the deal, shouldn't I show my sincerity? I promise that everything I just said is true. On this basis, can you listen to my request?"
Signe did not interrupt.
"I can be your undercover agent in the Camarilla," Brent said. "I just hope you can introduce Mr. Nance to me."
His smile became forced. "Joshua is dying. The long experiment has destroyed his body. He should have rested well, but he was seriously injured some time ago... I have tried everything... I have no choice. I can't cure him..."
He stared at Sigourney steadily: "I hope you can ask Mr. Nance to take a look at Joshua."
Signe didn't agree immediately. He glanced at Yang and said, "You are surrounded by people from the Prince family. When it comes to healing potions, who can compare with this family?"
Brent shook his head: "On the wizard side, I only trust Lord Nance."
Sigourney narrowed her eyes. How could the old man have such a high credibility outside?
He twitched the corners of his lips subtly: "Okay. Deal."
