Chapter 279 Alryne Ballad
Leones commented on Felix’s work casually.
And everyone present was immediately shocked.
Even Felix looked at Leones in surprise as if Leones was his long–lost confidant.
Everyone was surprised and confused. They didn’t expect Leones to know calligraphy.
“Just a little,” Leones said calmly.
Leones didn’t dare to say how much he knew about calligraphy, but no one else could surpass him except for his thirty–fifth Master in Zerino Prison, Tom Brown.
Leones learned a miraculous copying technique from him.
Therefore, Leones could master all kinds of fonts, from Blackletter to Copperplate and Gothic.
At a glance, Leones knew Felix’s calligraphy was a fusion of Italics and Uncial, forming his kind.
“Mr. Bloom, you are amazing,” Lily also surprisedly said, “I remember that one of the two master calligraphers invited by my father claimed to be a descendant of the Roberts family, and the other claimed to have inherited Bon’s technique.
“These two masters influenced my father’s calligraphy and formed its current pattern.”
Felix also praised, “Leones, you are an expert, for you can see it in my handwriting.”
Ares was stunned when he heard this. He thought, “Seriously!? Does this guy know calligraphy, or was he just good at guessing?”
Immediately, Ares said dubiously, “Bon and Quentin are two great calligraphers that even elementary school students know their names.”
The implication was that he questioned what Leones said. Maybe it was just a coincidence. However, Felix excitedly prepared ink and said to Leones, “Come on, show us your handwriting!” It was rare to meet a calligraphy enthusiast nowadays. Felix regarded Leones as a close friend and invited him to practice calligraphy.
Leones couldn’t resist, so he had to write some.
Without hesitation, he copied the letter of recommendation written by Felix in no time, and the two letters were identical.
Amid the exclamations of everyone, Leones slowly put down the pen and paper and smiled calmly. “Excuse my poor writing.”
“What!?”
Everyone was stunned.
They tried their best to compare and find differences between the two letters.
The result was precisely the same!
“Same, they are identical! Amazing!”
“It’s like it just came out of a photocopier!”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Bloom to be such a versatile man! He is as adept with a pen as with a sword!” Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
Ares was even more stunned than before. He didn’t expect that after being questioned, Leones did the same calligraphy style as Felix effortlessly.

Ares was upset because he felt outmatched in all aspects by Leones.
“Hey!
“Leones, you’re too modest!”
Felix looked at the calligraphy written by Leones, which was the same as his own and was surprised.
Felix said, “I appreciate you more and more!
“If you hadn’t planned to compete for the War God in Yonker State, I would have taken you back to Alryne today no matter what and asked you to take over my job and be my future son–in–law!” “Father! Don’t just say it out loud like that!” Lily pretended to be upset and complained.
But her beautiful eyes stared closely at Leones with hidden appreciation.
It was a rare encounter with a young man who was so versatile, and all young girls would admire. him.
After hearing that, Ares was even more heartbroken. He lost his love, and his heart ached.
“Haha!” Felix laughed again, spread out a new piece of paper, and invited, “Come on, write another one. This time, don’t imitate my calligraphy. Do it your style!
“I
gave you a letter of recommendation, and you should also give me a calligraphy in return! If you become a master of calligraphy in the future, then this calligraphy will be the heirloom of the Wellington family, haha!”
“No problem,” Leones agreed immediately. With the pen in his hand, he thought for a while and said, “Mr. Wellington, since you are from Alryne, this Alryne Ballad is for you!”
An ancient poet wrote Alryne Ballad.
Leones: [Among the Nine Continents lay Alryne, a majestic place whose city gates were like heaven.]
Leones wrote in a way as if God were there helping him.
Everyone followed Leones, chanting word by word, and praised him repeatedly.
Leones wrote down the last line. Leones: [Blossom drifted in the icy air while snow speckles were blown onto soldiers‘ hair.]
Felix was touched. He caressed the gray hair on his temples, and his firm eyes could not help but turn slightly red.
“What a poem!”
“Good handwriting!”
“What a genius in both physical and intellectual ways!”
Leones put down the pen, held up the paper with both hands, and said, “Here is a copy of Alryne Ballad for you, the War God in Alryne!”
Felix solemnly accepted the calligraphy and took a closer look at it. Seeing that the calligraphy skills of this calligraphy were ten times better than his own, he couldn’t help but admire Leones
even more.
“Leones, I didn’t expect that I could meet a confidant like you at my fifty. We should celebrate this with good wines!
“If you don’t mind, how about we become sworn brothers today!?”
