The False Summoner Chapter 20: The Ryan Family (2)

Proofread by Peter Gong

"For three hundred and thirty years," Patriarch Philip gently strokes the seal, and says in a deep voice, "the seal has finally returned to the Ryan family, Patriarch Brain, I'll accept this betrothal present and I will also agree to Agatha's marriage.

Philip turns to Rowen, "I think he must be Agatha's future husband!"

Rowen is struck dumb with astonishment. Is it too easy to get this thing done?

"Sir, we should choose husband for Agatha publicly, now you have made your decision, does that mean you have broken your promise?" The middle-aged man says in a hurry.

"We Ryan Family always keep our words. Three hundred and thirty years ago, our family promised the Mayor Wolf that we will achieve anything they want us to do as long as his descendants come back with this seal." Philip says slowly, "I think no one will blame us if we explain it clearly. Besides, we will compensate for them and build a suitable weapon for every candidate who has entered the final stage."

"But Agatha..." the middle-aged man still wants to say something.

"That's enough, it is my decision!" Patriarch Philip shouts angrily.

"Patriarch Philip, you got us wrong." Patriarch Brian says at this very moment, "We don't want Miss Agatha to marry Rowen under such circumstances, we just want you to give Rowen a chance."

Patriarch Philip frowns immediately, "Patriarch Brian, what do you mean by saying that?"

"There are two steps for Miss Agatha to choose her husband: the first step is that Patriarch Philip has to pick ten people out of those unmarried men who have interest in Miss Agatha by means of some test; the second is that Miss Agatha has to choose one she loves from those ten people. Am I right?" Patriarch Brian asks with a smile on his face.

"Yes, you're right." Philip nods.

"But today, we're just hoping to get Rowen to skip the first step and compete fairly with the other ten men." Patriarch Brian smiles. "No matter what happens, we will not take the seal back. In fact, we will give it back to you even if you don't meet our request."

"Patriarch Brian, are you kidding?" Philip looks very stunned.

"Patriarch Philip, I know our family do not deserve Miss Agatha, but I'm sure that Rowen will be good enough for her one day, if only you would give him a chance." Patriarch Brain says earnestly.

"If you are confident enough, why not just let us decide their marriage?" Hearing that, Philip pauses for a while, "Don't worry, Patriarch Brain, we Ryan Family will keep our word if you make such a request of us."

Patriarch Brian shakes his head, "Patriarch Brian, this is not our Wolfs' style. Our Father Mayor brought this seal in the hope that your family could accept his help instead of using it to do anything else."

"Patriarch Brian, we Ryan Family will bear in mind that the Wolf Family has a sense of righteousness and noble character, but what you really want is just asking us to give this young Mr. Wolf a fair shot?" Patriarch Philip frowns slightly. "I know the Wolf Family are now in trouble, but we are actually willing to help you. Though we Ryan Family cannot restore your family to your former glory, there's no question of keeping your family's lordship.

"Thanks for your kindness, but that request is all we ask." Patriarch Brian has clearly made up his mind.

Rowen is a little puzzled. Isn't Patriarch Brian here to want him to marry Agatha? Now that they have agreed to his request, why does Patriarch Brian change his mind?

"Patriarch Brian, we will grant your request even if you do not give us this precious seal, but I am afraid I must tell you that the young Mr. Wolf is unable to pass the Agatha's test." Says Patriarch Philip slowly. "Agatha is harsh with her test and you are not prepared at all... Alas!"

Philip doesn't go on, but he sighs.

"Of course, it won't be easy to marry Miss Agatha, but I'm sure that Miss Agatha will like Rowen." Patriarch Brian smiles. Apparently, he doesn't care Philip's advice.

"All right, if Patriarch Brian insists, then please follow me." Patriarch Philip rises reluctantly. "Agatha is now giving a test to those ten people. If everything goes right, the results will come out today."

"Thanks, Patriarch Philip." Patriarch Brian motions Rowen to follow Philip out.

It is said that Agatha does not want to get married, but on Cang Yun Continent, though ladies aged 20 don't get married, most of them have been engaged to other people. Agatha is just sixteen, many people come to her family to propose a marriage. From then on, Agatha's marriage has become a big trouble in Ryan Family. Because of that, Patriarch Philip of the Ryan Family imposes on Agatha an irresistible command that she must get married before the age of 20.

And Agatha's birthday falls on February1st, which means that at the end of January she must choose her future husband.

Although Agatha, the gifted girl of the Ryan family, can decide her marriage to a great extent, she is not the final decision-maker. In fact, the family backgrounds of those ten people she could choose are acceptable to the Ryan Family.Whichever she ends up picking, it won't be a bad thing for the Ryan Family.

Now, the onlookers at the Ryan Family's training field can help wondering whether Agatha is trying to freeze out everyone by setting up such a harsh test.

Much as her test method is harsh, it is not unreasonable.

Agatha has arranged three tests for each of them, and the first test has to do with her status as a warrior. She thinks she is an excellent warrior, and her husband cannot be too weak. So to be her husband, he must be able to stand her attacks.

Each chosen person must stand in a circle, he can dodge in the circle, or can use his sword to resist, but cannot leave the circle. He can proceed to the second test as long as he can stand her attacks.

The second test has to do with Agatha's status as a caster. She asks everyone to show her a sword casting material that she has never seen before. Obviously, it is a little difficult because she has seen so many sword casting materials, no one knows whether there are any materials in the world that she hasn't seen before.

As for the third test, she will ask everyone a few questions, and if she is satisfied with their answers, they will pass the test. This test seems easy, but it is actually more difficult because it is entirely Agatha's interest that determines her satisfaction.

When Rowen comes to the training field, a loud voice passes into his ears, "Miss Ryan, my name is Jeff Hawker from the Hawker Family. I'm now 21 years old, a grade three student at Royal Knight College. Although I am only a level-5 warrior who cannot compare with you, I believe that I am the most suitable husband for Miss Ryan."

The Hawker Family?

Hearing this name, Rowen instinctively looks at that person, but he doesn't know if this person is Morency's brother. However, it seems that he doesn't look like Morency. Compared with Morency's delicate and handsome appearance, the man named Jeff looks more like a real man who has big eyes, thick eyebrows and a muscular shape, not very handsome, but has a special glamour.

"It's up to me whether it is suitable or not." She says in a lazy voice. "You just stand still and wait for my strike."

Rowen finally turns his eyes to the girl standing opposite Jeff, and he really wants to see what Agatha, the girl of genius, looks like. But he is suddenly dumbfounded when he sees her. Is this the girl of genius he would marry? Isn't her appearance too weird?
