Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 249

The morning light first appeared, and a faint golden color appeared on the horizon. In this continent of Azeroth, which is full of magic and miracles, in a dilapidated manor, the cry of a baby breaks the tranquility of the morning. This cry seems to indicate that the wheel of fate has begun to turn again.

The owner of the manor, Ryan, the current patriarch of the Klein family, an old and majestic old man, was standing in front of the crib, looking at this little life that had just come into the world. He wore an old noble robe embroidered with the emblem of the Klein family - an eagle with spread wings. Time has carved deep wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle.

Next to Ryan stood Jiang Sheng's father, Pus.

Jiang Sheng's father, Pus, is a tall man with a resolute face. He has thick brown hair, which shines healthily in the sun. His eyes are a deep blue, as clear and bright as the lakes on Azeroth. Pus's skin was slightly tanned by the sun, making him look healthy and strong. He always exudes a perseverance, which makes people respect him. Puth was born into a branch of the Klein family. He was known for his bravery and resourcefulness when he was young, and he made great military exploits for his family.

Baby Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng’s new name) was still lying quietly in his crib, as if falling into a deep sleep. But in fact, he was awake listening to the sounds around him and feeling this new world.

Puth stood in front of the crib, looking at Cody Klein with tender eyes. He gently touched his son's little face and whispered: "Cody, my little baby, you are the pride of our family. May you grow up healthily and become a true hero."

Roya was lying on a nearby bed. She looked at Cody Klein with a smile, her eyes full of maternal love. She whispered softly: "Cody, you have to remember that no matter how difficult the future is, we will always be by your side to protect you."

Jiang Sheng's mother Luo Ya is a gentle and virtuous woman. She has long, silky golden hair, as warm and bright as the sun. Her eyes are gentle green and she always smiles, giving people a sense of intimacy. Luo Ya's face is soft and her skin is as fair as jade, exuding a noble temperament. She was born into an ordinary magical family,

However, Cody Klein (played by Jiang Sheng) is full of complicated emotions. He carries with him the memories of his past life and knows that he is different. He didn't want to reveal his secret that he was different from ordinary people, so he chose to pretend to be a baby and hide his true abilities.

In the eyes of Pus and Roya, Cody Klein is just an ordinary baby, but what they don't know is that he has matured a lot inside.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng) is six years old. According to the tradition of the Klein family, a spiritual test is held at this time of year to test the magical talents of family members. The atmosphere in the manor was extremely tense, and family members gathered at the testing venue, looking forward to the children's performance.

The testing site is located on a wide grassland, surrounded by various magic props and crystals. The sun shines through the clouds, adding a sense of mystery to the grassland. Puth and Roya stood in the crowd, their eyes fixed on Cody Klein on the testing field. Their hearts are full of expectations and worries, because Cody Klein has been different since birth, and they hope that he can show extraordinary spirituality in the test.

The test began. The children came forward one by one in order, put their hands on the crystal, and tried to sense the magical energy in it. Some children immediately felt the vibration of the crystal and had excited smiles on their faces; some children had no reaction and looked lost and frustrated.

.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and dapples onto the grass of the testing site, adding a bit of solemnity and sanctity to this area that is already full of mysterious atmosphere. The test site was carefully arranged, with a huge transparent crystal in the center. A faint magical halo circulated on the surface of the crystal, as if it contained endless power. A variety of magic props are placed around the crystal, from ancient magic books to exquisite magic wands, all revealing the unique charm of the magic world.

There was a faint magical atmosphere in the air, and even the wind seemed to be still. Family members gathered around the testing site, anticipation and nervousness written on their faces. Some whispered, speculating on the children's test results; others clasped their hands and prayed silently.

As the test began, the children came forward one by one, with curiosity and anxiety on their faces. Some children are full of confidence, as if they have foreseen their future glory; some children are so nervous that their palms are sweating, fearing that their test results will not be satisfactory.

In the center of the testing site, the crystal quietly emitted a soft light, surrounded by children from the Klein family, who were either excited or nervous waiting for their test.

The first one to step forward was the little genius in the family - Alia. She was wearing a light blue dress, and the hem of the skirt swayed gently with her steps, like ripples on the water. She walked confidently to the crystal and stretched out her slender fingers to gently touch the surface of the crystal.

"Aliya, relax," her father encouraged.

Alia smiled slightly and closed her eyes. Suddenly, the crystal burst into dazzling light, accompanied by a slight vibration, as if cheering for her talent. There were bursts of applause and admiration all around.

"Alia, you're amazing!" a boy shouted excitedly.

Then there is another leader in the family - Leo. He was tall, with black hair and a sharp light in his eyes. He strode up to the spar and put his hand on it without hesitation.

The crystal vibrated again, and the light was a little stronger than before. A proud smile appeared on Leo's face, as if he had foreseen his future glory.

"Leo, you are indeed the hope of our family!" An elder praised.

However, not all children can show such dazzling talents. Another child in the family, Xiaoya, seemed a little nervous. She clasped her hands and walked hesitantly to the crystal.

"Xiaoya, don't be afraid, believe in yourself." Her mother encouraged her gently.

Xiaoya took a deep breath and put her hand on the spar. However, the crystal did not react at all, as silent as an ordinary stone. Xiaoya had a disappointed expression on her face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Xiaoya, it's okay, you have other things you are good at." An elder comforted.

As the test progressed, some children showed amazing talents, astonishing the people around them; some children were a little ordinary, but they also received encouragement and support from their families. On the test field, the children's expressions were colorful, including excitement, disappointment, expectation, and determination.

The sun shines slantingly on the grass of the testing site, stretching the figure of Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng). He stood in front of the spar, wearing the family's uniform test suit, with the blue hem swaying gently in the wind. His hands were clenched into fists and trembling slightly, revealing his inner nervousness.

People were talking around him, their eyes focused on Cody Klein. As the most anticipated child in the family, his test results will undoubtedly be the center of attention.

"Cody Klein, relax." Puth's voice came from the crowd, full of encouragement and expectation.

Cody Klein looked up at his father and took a deep breath. He tried to look calm, but inside he was in a state of turmoil. He knew that he carried the memory of his previous life and had extraordinary abilities, but in this world, he could not show his spirituality.

He walked towards the spar slowly, every step seemed so heavy. As he stood in front of the crystal, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Cody Klein, remember, no matter what the outcome, you are the pride of our family." Luo Ya's voice was soft and firm, as if she had injected a force into him.

Cody Klein opened his eyes and stared at the crystal in front of him. He stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched the surface of the crystal. His heart was filled with anticipation, but also mixed with fear and uneasiness.

However, the spar showed no reaction. The light and vibration that should have flashed did not appear, and the crystal seemed to have turned into an ordinary stone. Cody Klein's heart sank to rock bottom, and he felt a sense of loss and depression that he had never experienced before.

People around him began to whisper, some showed surprised expressions, and some shook their heads secretly. Cody Klein felt his face heat up, as if he had become the object of ridicule.

"Cody Klein..." Puth's voice contained a hint of disappointment, but he quickly covered it up and stepped forward and patted his son on the shoulder, "It's okay, kid. We believe you have other talents and talent."

The sun shone on Luo Ya's face, and her eyes shone with the light of maternal love. Her heart sank when she saw Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng) look disappointed because the crystal was unresponsive. However, as a mother, she knew she had to give her son firm support and encouragement at this moment.

Luo Ya quickly walked to Cody Klein, knelt down, and gently held his face with her hands. Her eyes were gentle and firm, as if they could penetrate all the haze.

"Cody Klein," she said softly, her voice full of love and comfort, "you know? In mom's eyes, you have always been the most special child. Just because the crystal doesn't react doesn't mean you have no spirituality. , it doesn’t mean you are not good.”

Cody Klein looked up at his mother, confusion flashing in his eyes. He has known that he is different since he was a child, carrying memories of his previous life, but he is unable to show his spirituality in this world. He felt confused and helpless, not knowing how to face such a result.

Roya saw her son's confusion and uneasiness. She gently stroked Cody Klein's hair and continued: "Everyone has their own unique gifts and talents. Maybe your spirituality is not here, but you are somewhere else. You must be able to shine. You have to believe in yourself and face the future bravely.”

Luo Ya's words were like a spring breeze blowing on his face, making Cody Klein feel a warmth. He felt his mother's love and trust, and the confusion and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He knew he couldn't just give up, he had to find his own path and prove his worth.

"Mom, I understand." Cody Klein whispered, with a determined light in his eyes, "I will work hard, and I will not let you down."

Roya also stepped forward, held Cody Klein's hand tightly, and gave him support and encouragement. Her eyes were full of motherly love and trust, as if to say: "No matter what happens, we will support you."

Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng) and Luo Ya left the testing site and on their way home, they were in completely different moods. Roya strives to maintain a positive and encouraging attitude, while Cody Klein wallows in loss and self-doubt. When the two entered the home, Puth was already waiting in the living room. He was a serious and thoughtful father, and when he saw the look on Cody Klein's face, he immediately understood the results of the test. Puth stood up, walked over to Cody Klein and tapped him lightly on the shoulder.

"Cody Klein, come sit here." Puth's voice was low and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Cody Klein sat obediently on the couch across from his father, while Roya sat beside him, offering him silent support.

Puth took a deep breath and began to talk about his experience: "Cody Klein, you know? When I was young, I felt lost and confused like you in the family test. At that time, I thought I wasn’t spiritual enough to be the best in my family.”

Puth paused, seeming to reminisce about the past. He continued: "However, I never gave up on myself. I firmly believe that everyone has their own unique path and mission. So, I began to find my own path and kept learning and exploring."

Puss stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the distant sky. His gaze was deep and firm, as if it could penetrate the barriers of time and space.

"I chose the path of business. Although it was difficult at the beginning, I did not give up. I worked hard to learn business knowledge, made like-minded friends, and finally established my own business empire." Pus turned around and faced Cody Klein, "The same goes for you, Cody Klein. You have your own uniqueness, you just need time to discover and grow."

Puth walked up to Cody Klein, knelt down and looked into his eyes: "Remember, don't be bound by the eyes of others, and don't deny yourself just because of a failure. Your value is not defined by a crystal. , but be proved by your own efforts and achievements.”

As Cody Klein listened to his father's words, the gloom in his heart gradually dissipated. He felt his father's love and trust, and also felt the strength and courage within himself. He raised his head and looked at his father, his eyes shining with determination.

"Father, I get it," Cody Klein said, "I'm going to find my way and I'm not going to give up."

As night falls, the lights in the home appear particularly bright in the dimness. Puth led Cody Klein toward the secret room deep in the family manor. Their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity. Cody was sorting out the clothes for testing in the room. When he heard a knock on the door, he looked up at the door.

Puss walked in, his eyes revealing an indescribable solemnity and seriousness. He walked up to Cody, looked at him deeply, and then slowly said: "Cody Klein, it's time for you to know some of our family's secrets."

A trace of curiosity and doubt flashed in Cody's eyes. He stood up and stared at his father. Puth continued: "These secrets have been passed down from generation to generation in our family. Only the core members of the family are qualified to know."

Cody Klein felt the weight of his father's words and nodded, indicating he was ready. Seeing this, Pus nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the door: "Follow me, I will take you to the family secret room."

Cody Klein followed in his father's footsteps and walked out of the room. Their silhouettes lengthened under the corridor lights, and their footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. Cody's heart was full of anticipation and tension. He didn't know what secret his father was going to tell him, but this secret was obviously closely related to the future of the family.

The door to the secret room was inlaid with ancient runes. Puss lightly touched one of the runes, and the door slowly opened with a dull sound. As the door opens, an ancient atmosphere hits the face, mixed with the dusty traces of time.

Cody Klein followed his father into the secret room, his eyes drawn to everything inside. Portraits of family ancestors hang on the wall. Their eyes are deep and solemn, as if they are telling the glorious history of the family. In the center of the secret room, there is an old wooden table with a heavy book on it, with the words "Klein Family History" engraved on the cover.

Puth walked to the wooden table, gently opened the book, and began to tell the family secrets: "Cody Klein, do you know that our Klein family was a prominent family a few centuries ago?"

Cody Klein nodded, but there was still curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

Puth continued: "At that time, our family possessed great strength and wisdom and was the leader of the world. However, the family's prophet predicted an unfortunate future - the family would be ruined and lose its former glory. "

Puss's voice was low and heavy, as if he was telling a heavy history. When Cody Klein listened to his father's words, he felt an inexplicable excitement and nervousness in his heart.

"However," Pus changed the subject, his eyes became firm and full of hope, "the prophet also predicted another future - when the family is ruined, a strong man will appear to lead the world, and he will revive the family. The glory will lead us to new glory.”

Cody Klein was shocked and excited by Puth's words. He looked at his father, his eyes shining with expectation: "Father, that strong man...will it be me?"

Puth took a deep look at Cody Klein, with a trace of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes: "I don't know, kid. But you are the hope of our family. You have talents and potential that are different from ordinary people. Maybe, you are The strong one who leads the world.”

Puth's words made Cody Klein feel a heavy responsibility. He understands that he shoulders the future and hopes of his family. He straightened his chest and said with firm eyes: "Father, I will work hard. No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are in the future, I will move forward bravely and fight for the glory of the family."

In the dim light of the secret room, Puth led Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng) to an old wooden table. The wooden table was covered with a thick layer of velvet, and a pair of ancient-looking dense scrolls was placed on it. Puss gently placed his hand on the secret scroll, his eyes full of solemnity and awe.

"Cody Klein," Puth's voice was low and serious, "this is our family's secret volume, a treasure passed down from generation to generation. It should have been given to you when you were young, but for some reasons, The ceremony has been postponed."

Cody Klein looked at the secret scroll curiously and saw that it was made of ancient leather. The edges were worn and turned white, but the patterns and words in the middle were clearly visible. He felt an inexplicable power emanating from the secret volume, making him want to touch it involuntarily.

Pus noticed Cody Klein's gaze, and he nodded, indicating that Cody could pick up the secret volume. Cody carefully stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingertips touched the dense curls, he felt a warmth spread throughout his body from his fingertips.

"Now, I want to tell you the secret of the secret scroll." Pus's voice became even deeper. "This secret scroll not only records the history and inheritance of our family, but also contains a powerful power - soul summoning. When you use When blood drips on the secret scroll, it will summon soul summons from outside the dimension for your use."

Under the dim and mysterious light of the secret room, Cody Klein (Jiang Sheng) stood in front of the ancient wooden table, holding the secret scroll nervously and expectantly. He took a deep breath, feeling the ancient aura coming from the secret volume, and felt an inexplicable sense of awe in his heart.

Pus stood next to Cody, his eyes were also looking at the secret volume, but there was more of deep thinking and expectation in his eyes. He whispered to Cody: "Cut your fingertips, let the blood drip on the secret volume, and summon your soul summons."

Cody nodded. He carefully took out the dagger his father handed him, closed his eyes, and lightly drew a line on his fingertips. A drop of bright red blood slowly dripped and landed accurately in the center of the dense volume.

As the blood dripped, the secret volume suddenly began to emit a faint light, and the light gradually increased, shrouding the entire secret room in it. Cody and Puss both held their breath and nervously watched the changes in the secret volume.

Pus also showed a surprised expression. He stepped forward and carefully looked at the seeds on the secret volume. This seed looks ordinary, just like an ordinary plant seed, but it was summoned from a secret scroll passed down by the family for thousands of years, so it is obviously not an ordinary thing.

"This..." Pus's voice also seemed a little hesitant, "I have never seen such a soul summoning object. It looks... too ordinary."

Cody Klein nodded, equally confused. He expected to summon a powerful warrior or mysterious creature, but he didn't expect it to be a seed. He couldn't help but ask: "Father, this seed...is there anything special about it?"

Puss shook his head and said he didn't know. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Perhaps, this seed has secrets that we don't know. After all, the family's secret scroll has been passed down for thousands of years, and it contains many powers and secrets that we have not yet understood."

Cody Klein looked at the seeds on the secret volume and felt a strong curiosity in his heart. He reached out his hand and carefully removed the seeds from the dense roll. Although this seed is small, it seems to have a magical power that makes Cody Klein unable to take his eyes away.

Seeing this, Puth also stepped forward and observed the seed with Cody Klein. They tried looking for clues in the seeds' appearance, texture, etc., but couldn't find anything special.

The father and son walked out of the secret room with an indescribable sense of solemnity and mystery. Pus's face was still solemn and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was still immersed in the mysterious atmosphere in the secret room just now. There was a depth and thoughtfulness in his eyes, as if he was recalling everything that had just happened. Although his steps were steady, every step seemed extremely heavy, as if he was carrying the secrets and heavy responsibilities of his family for thousands of years. They walked through the long corridor and returned to the spacious and bright living room of their home. At this time, my mother was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, with a look of concern on her face.

Seeing the father and son return, the mother immediately stood up. She walked forward, her eyes swept over the two people, and noticed the serious expressions on their faces that had not faded. She frowned slightly and asked softly: "Puth, Cody, where have you been? Why do you look so serious?"

Puss nodded slightly, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He turned to his mother and said calmly: "We went to the family sanctum. There is something important that needs to be told to Cody."

When the mother heard this, her eyes turned to Cody. She noticed that Cody was holding the seemingly ordinary seed tightly in his hand, and there was a trace of excitement and curiosity on his face that could not be concealed. She patted Cody's shoulder gently and asked softly: "Cody, what is this? What happened to you in there?"

Cody raised his head and looked at his mother's concerned eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer: "Mom, this is the seed I summoned from the family's secret volume. It looks ordinary. But it seems to contain some special power."

After hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in the mother's eyes. She carefully looked at the seeds in her hand again, trying to discern some clues from them. But the seed still lay peacefully in Cody's hand, nothing special about it. She shook her head slightly and sighed: "The family's secret scroll is really magical, it can actually summon such a thing."

Puss stepped forward, took the seed from Cody's hand, and observed it carefully. He raised his head and said to his mother: "This seed is indeed unusual. We need to use the family's secret method to nourish it and see if we can awaken its potential."
