Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 431 Armor Materials
Yaro calmly asked, "Why can't he be the one to redeem your life?"

Ian stared, his eyes bloodshot, as if he had heard the most absurd joke:
"He's the one who killed my mother, and that's not all, he also wants to steal my surname and seize my territory! Tell me, this bastard, does he want to atone for my life?"

"Wait! Since you say he's your brother, then your mother is his mother, and your surname is his surname, right? Why do you say he wants to seize your territory?" Yaro asked, puzzled.

Unlike the ancient times of Aro's previous life, the secular rules circulating in this world do not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one husband and one wife; all others can only be lovers, meaning they have no official status whatsoever.

Even in secular conventions, outsiders who are completely unrelated can forget about receiving a single penny of the inheritance.

A child born to a lover is something that cannot be discussed openly, and neither party can even publicly acknowledge it. It is far less respectable than a child born out of wedlock as understood by Yaro!
At least, a son born out of wedlock can openly acknowledge that 'so-and-so' is his father.

According to this unwritten agreement, if a nobleman has many illegitimate children but no legitimate sons, and he dies suddenly, his status can only be inherited by his wife. If his wife dies unmarried, then it will be his or his wife's maternal relatives' turn.

—Being an illegitimate child and this identity are two parallel lines that never intersect!
A prince living on the streets is legally unlikely to exist!
In this situation, Ian says Morton killed his mother, tried to steal his surname, and seized his territory, so why does he still call Morton "brother"?

Ian's face darkened: "He killed my mother, and then encouraged my father to marry his wretched mother..."

After hearing Ian's explanation, Yaro finally understood.

Similar to a blended family, but more complex.

The logic behind this is very complex, but the order of identity transmission can be viewed through simple linear thinking: father – mother – son – maternal relatives.

In other words, Morton's mother already had inheritance rights after Morton's mother and Ian's father officially married!
Therefore, her son would naturally also be able to obtain a portion of the inheritance rights!
Of course, since Ian was the child of Morton's first wife, his priority naturally exceeded that of Morton's mother.

The problem is that Morton is older than Ian and can be officially recognized as the legitimate son at any time.

—That makes the problem complicated.

Yaro thought for a moment, then asked, "But didn't you say he doesn't have the surname 'Boone' yet? Doesn't your father have any brothers or sisters? Didn't they object?"

Putting aside public order and good morals, it can be understood from the perspective of interests alone.

If someone without the surname 'Boone' is granted inheritance rights, then the estate will have no connection whatsoever with people bearing the surname 'Boone'.

Add the surname 'Boone' to outsiders?

Wouldn't that just create more competitors for yourself?

Ian, however, slumped down again:

"The Ghost Orchid Garden was originally just a small asset of the family. My father divided the assets and gave it to his mother. But ever since he took over the Ghost Orchid Garden, I don't know what method he used, but the yield of Ghost Orchid fruits has increased terrifyingly. All the other income of the family combined is not even as much as that of the garden alone!"

Is it because we used enough fertilizer?
Yaro's eyes flickered, but his face remained expressionless: "Even all of them combined are not as good as this? No wonder your relatives don't object."

This is like expanding the cake.

Similarly, this statement also indirectly confirms that Morton did indeed use a large number of living people to sacrifice to the Ghost Orchid.

“My father actually said I was a spendthrift, and that if Morton had taken over, our family would have been even better off… But I don’t want to!”

Ian looked up abruptly, like a sulking child:

"What's mine is mine! I can do whatever I want with it, and I can smash it, break it, or give it away if I want to! Nobody can touch my stuff without my permission!"

It's clear that Ian subtly idolizes his brother, but perhaps because of their mother's death, he's like a hamster, sensitive to everything, tightly clutching his own possessions and afraid to let go. Under these circumstances, it's no wonder he lost his mind and attacked his magic teacher.

The sudden theft of a treasure that has cost a great deal of money and countless efforts to design and create is unbearable for most people, let alone someone as sensitive as Ian.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this character flaw that Ian is obsessed with the rebellious 'Yarro Garner', and thus transfers his affections to 'Yarro' who dresses similarly.

Unable to extract any useful information from Ian's outburst, Yaro decided to steer the conversation himself:

"If you said the magic teacher stole the armor, why did you also say Morton took it?"

There were only two things that Yaro cared about.

First, where is the wind-elemental armor? Is there any way to obtain it?

Second, to determine whether Morton deserved to die.

“Only Morton could do something like that. Who else could it be?” Ian said, head bowed, looking unusually dejected.

"How so?" Yaro offered a fitting compliment.

Ian looked up at the bloodstains in the corner, his expression extremely complicated:
"The broken magic circle contained the remnants of the magic teacher's magic power. The magic circle I set up was broken by him through brute force."

Furthermore, my personal maid has disappeared, but Morton didn't even bother to look for her and directly arranged a new maid for me.

What did he mean? What was he trying to say? Am I surrounded by his people?

Is this Ian's motive for killing?

anger?
If you can't handle Morton, you can certainly handle a mere maid like you?

Yaro remained noncommittal and continued, "What would Morton do with your armor? If he wanted it, according to you, your personal maid has become his woman. It wouldn't be difficult for him to secretly take the blueprints you designed and remake one or even many more, would it?"

"Did you notice the main materials used in the armor I designed?" Ian countered.

Yaro nodded: "I know about Wind Butterfly Gold. It's not cheap, but it shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Ian once offered a hundred magic stones just to have Yaro modify the golden armor he bought from Harvey.

Ian then asked, "What kind of material do you think could be embedded in the Butterfly Gold to guide the flow of magic?"

Yaro was stunned.

Wind Disc Gold is an extraordinary metal. When Wind Disc Gold is used as the main material, the material used to outline the magic patterns must have a stronger affinity for magic than Wind Disc Gold. Even a slight difference is not enough; it must have a suppressive advantage.

What are you using?

"Demon God Bone Powder".

Yaro looked at him with a strange expression.

As expected of you, you spendthrift!
