Chapter 1296 The Artifact of the Empire
In the depths of the Siger family's mansion, the atmosphere became increasingly solemn. Even though hundreds of candles were burning in the lobby, it was still difficult to dispel the heavy feeling of depression. Sigius sat in the main seat, his eyelids twitching unconsciously, as if foreshadowing the unknown news to come.
His eyes inadvertently glanced at his eldest son, Sigmund, and found that his face, which was always known for its calmness, now carried a trace of unconcealable worry. Sige Ming's eyes were deep, but revealed a hint of uneasiness, which was very different from his usual image. Sigius knew in his heart that the eldest son's worries were not groundless, but a deep concern for the future of the family.
The closed nature of the special training prevents news from being spread outside, which leaves the Siger family in a tangle of hope and waiting. They had no way of knowing the specific results of the special training and could only make guesses based on past experience and the strength of their disciples. However, this speculation does not bring them any substantial comfort.
Sigius knew very well that if the family was completely unsure, as it had been in previous years, then they would not wait so dryly collectively. But this year is different. They have placed such high expectations that the waiting at this moment has become extremely painful. They are eager to wait for a good result, which will be a great victory for the family and will bring them endless glory and status. However, they also knew clearly that if they waited for nothing, the blow to the family would be devastating.
Time seemed to slow down extremely slowly at this moment, and every second was like suffering. The air in the lobby seemed to be frozen, making people breathless. The faces of the family members were full of nervousness and uneasiness. They exchanged glances with each other, but none of them could get any comfort from each other.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the dull atmosphere. A servant ran in panting, with a trace of panic on his face, as if indicating that the coming news was unusual. The servant knelt down in front of Sigius and said in a trembling voice: "Chief, the results of the special training...have come out."
Although his voice was not loud, it echoed in the hall, as if every word hit the hearts of the family members hard. Everyone held their breath and stared at the servant, waiting for his next words.
Sigius tried hard to stay calm. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tell me, what's the result?"
The servant swallowed, as if to embolden himself, and then whispered: "We...our Sig family did not win first place."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence. Everyone was stunned, as if they couldn't believe their ears. Sigius's eyelids jumped again, and an indescribable sense of loss surged in his heart. The eldest son Sigmund also had a look of disappointment on his face, and his worries finally became a reality.
However, at this moment, the servant continued: "But...but our children performed well and won the second place, and..." His words suddenly became hesitant, as if the next step was The news is hard to tell. Sigius frowned and urged: "And what? Say it quickly!"
The servant took a deep breath, as if he mustered up the courage, and then said quickly: "Furthermore, it is said that the family that won the first place used unfair means in the competition, and has now been investigated by the empire. We...our Sig family It is very likely that he will be promoted to the first place!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an explosion in the lobby. The family members were stunned at first, and then they all showed expressions of ecstasy. They hugged and cheered each other, as if they had forgotten the loss and worries just now. Sigius also had a rare smile on his face, and his heart was filled with excitement and pride.
The eldest son Sigmund also stood up, with a look of relief on his face. He walked up to the servant, patted him on the shoulder, and said gratefully: "Well done! You brought us good news!"
A shy smile appeared on the servant's face. He stood up and stepped aside. At this moment, the lobby has turned into a sea of joy. The family members laughed, shouted and cried, expressing their inner excitement and joy in their own way.
Sigius looked at the scene in front of him with a lot of emotions in his heart. He knew what the good news meant to the family. Not only did they gain honor and status, but more importantly, they proved their strength and worth. At this moment, he deeply felt that all the efforts he had made were worth it.
He stood up and walked to the center of the lobby and said loudly: "Everyone! This is a glorious moment for our Seager family! We must remember the joy and pride of this moment! At the same time, we also want to thank those who have worked hard in the special training Children! They are the pride and hope of our family!”
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the hall. The family members echoed and shouted, and their voices gathered into a powerful force that seemed to break through the sky.
And this night is destined to become the most unforgettable night in the history of the Seeger family. They have used their strength and wisdom to win honor and respect and a better future for themselves.
