Chapter 131 Chapter 118 Father and Son (Part 1)

Du Wei didn't understand in his heart why the chief guard of Alpha suddenly reminded himself in a low voice, as if he was kind to him.The head guard in my memory was an indifferent guy, he was honest with everyone except for the Earl. When he reached the door of the study, Alpha stopped in his tracks, took another deep look at Du Wei, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then turned and left. Taking a deep breath, Du Wei pushed open the door of the study and walked in. The Earl's Mansion in the imperial capital is much smaller than the castle of the Luo Lin family.The study is the same, the collection of books is far less than that of the frighteningly large study in Rollin Castle.

In fact, this study has been used by Earl Raymond as an important meeting room.Earl Raymond was born as a general, not a literati or scholar, so he naturally wouldn't be as book-heavy as those old scholars. In his study room, there are only some necessary documents on two rows of bookshelves, and a large desk is full of documents from the military command. The surroundings of the study seemed quiet and there were no sentries, but Du Wei knew that this place was almost the most heavily guarded place in the Earl's Mansion! A wealthy family with hundreds of years has a different background.Like the kind of three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry, it's called the style of nouveau riche, and everything is in the open.

As for Earl Raymond's study, although there was not a single guard standing guard around, Du Wei knew that Earl Raymond had spent his entire life in the army, so he naturally possessed some shady dark forces.Among them are some masters raised in private.And the reason why Alpha is so trusted by the Earl is because Alpha is responsible for commanding this dark force. On weekdays, no one is allowed to enter this study without the earl's order.If someone breaks in and doesn't walk into this yard, they will know how powerful it is!Du Wei didn't know these things back then, but now that he's getting older, he's gradually seeing the way.The yard around the study, the walls, and even some of the decorations inside the walls seem to have a faint wave of magic power, which is obviously a brilliant magic circle.If an outsider breaks in, the magic circle will be able to give a warning immediately, and there are some secret whistles around it all the year round, all of which are the secret forces in the hands of Earl Raymond.

For example, today, without the leadership of Alpha, Du Wei would not be able to walk in alone! "There must be some magic props on Alpha, so it won't trigger the reaction of the magic circle." Du Wei guessed secretly. Putting aside these distracting thoughts, Du Wei walked into the study room, and saw his father, the current patriarch of the Rollins family, Earl Raymond sitting behind the desk, holding a quill pen in his hand, with a trace of awe on his majestic face. Chilling, frowning, he carefully looked at a document in front of him with unknown contents. Du Wei walked in quietly and stood in front of him without speaking, just standing with his hands down, looking honest.

It was not until a long time later that Earl Raymond seemed to come back to his senses. He wrote a few words on the document, put down the quill, raised his head, and looked at Du Wei with a calm expression. His eyes were very flat, neither happy nor angry. It seems that there is no mood swing for Du Wei's return.Du Wei raised his head and looked at his father calmly. After a while, Earl Raymond said slowly, "Well, you're back." Du Wei took a deep breath: "Yes, I'm back... Father." Earl Raymond raised his brows slightly, and there was a wave of fluctuation in his originally calm eyes, he opened his mouth slightly, and then slowly formed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if mocking: "Oh... ...You called my father...hehe! It's been more than ten years, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you called me 'father', right?"

As soon as these words came out, even though Du Wei had already made full preparations in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart. Looking at his father quietly, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart. He... seems to have aged a lot. Earl Raymond is now forty-nine years old, not much older than Alpha's guards, but he looks much older than Alpha!You know, Earl Raymond, as the patriarch of the Luo Lin family, was born in a martial arts family, and his martial arts skills are definitely not trivial!It can also be called the strongest in the imperial military!The unique skills passed down by the Luo Lin family are naturally extraordinary.

But Earl Raymond is still old.Old and even a little tired. In the case of Gao Dawei back then, he returned triumphantly from the sea. The vigorous general is not yet fifty years old, and the corners of his eyes are already wrinkled. Even sitting there, his body didn't seem to be as straight as before, but leaned on the chair a little tiredly. As if aware that his son was distracted, Earl Raymond coughed lightly, pulling Du Wei back from his wandering thoughts. The count slowly stood up from the chair. He was wearing a set of pure white cotton robes, a habit he had developed in the army before, simple and comfortable.This heroic general of the empire does not like fancy clothes like other nobles, but prefers this kind of clean and simple clothes.

He walked around the table slowly, walked in front of Du Wei, and stood in front of Du Wei, quietly and condescendingly looking down at Du Wei. Du Wei was also at a loss for a moment, not knowing what his father was going to do. Covered by this majestic gaze for a long time, Du Wei carefully restrained his vigor and sharpness, and stood obediently with his hands down, without even raising his head to meet his father's eyes. "You... have grown up a bit." Suddenly, the count sighed slowly, and his majestic voice had softened: "When you left home last year, your head only reached my chest, but now it has reached my shoulders!"

Hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help trembling slightly... Was he standing so close to me just to see my size? At this moment, he has completely lost his identity as a general and patriarch-this is purely a "typical" behavior of a father! But just as a touch of emotion surfaced in Du Wei's heart, another thought popped up immediately, and something seemed to flash in his eyes... That crossbow that flowed out of the military...! military! Taking a deep breath, Du Wei raised his head, with a cramped smile "shown" on his face: "Yes, father...it's just that I'm still too weak, and I don't look as powerful as you at all...I'm afraid it will take another two years , my younger brother will grow taller than me."

Seeing the "smile" on his son's face, Count Raymond's eyes flashed a glint of haze. He sighed and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug Du Wei, but his hand was in the air, and he hesitated for a moment, but turned into With a shoulder pat, he patted Du Wei's shoulder lightly twice, and then retracted his hand. Afterwards, Earl Raymond smiled wryly: "You... Forget it, I don't blame you. You must still hate me very much, right?" Du Wei didn't speak, just stood quietly. Earl Raymond shook his head. He sighed, walked slowly back to the desk, sat down calmly, and then pointed to a chair in the study: "You can sit too. Starting today, you have returned to the imperial capital, you Everything I do represents the Luo Lin family... I... I was wrong."

Admit it? Du Wei frowned secretly, not knowing what his father was going to say. Earl Raymond looked at Du Wei's expression, snorted, then suddenly turned around and took out a delicate crystal wine bottle from the cabinet under his desk, and gently unscrewed the bottle cap. This is clearly a fine wine of the highest order. Earl Raymond had a smile on his face: "Okay, no matter what you thought about my father in the past, now, I just want to have a good talk with you. Because starting today, your first step into the imperial capital ... Everything in the future is inevitable! Do you understand?" ... The bright red wine was slowly filled in two exquisite crystal wine glasses.Du Wei and Earl Raymond held a wine glass each.The study room was a little dull, both of them seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of wine tasting, and neither of them spoke first. After a long time, Earl Raymond's eyes flashed a trace of surprise, he smiled slowly, and said, "I really didn't expect that I raised a good son! A good son! I really misjudged all these years... Among other things, your patience and calmness have already surprised me." "Ever since I drove you out of the imperial capital and returned to the Rolling Plains, I have actually received news of your every move there." Earl Raymond said slowly.Du Wei was not surprised. As the patriarch of the family, it would be strange if he said that he knew nothing about all his actions in the Luolin Plain. "It's only been a year, and you've come up with something that amazes me. My son... well, what football, you can turn a small game into a money-making machine for making money, and you've come up with those Business, and that hot air balloon... I know, last time your mother's birthday, that so-called 'Goddess of the Dawn', that thing is called... Fireworks, right? It's nice and amazing. Rolling Plains It is our family's fiefdom. Although the family's income has other channels now, the Luolin Plain can bring hundreds of thousands of gold coins to the family every year. But within a year, you don't take a single gold coin from your family. Earned... oh, let me see... more than 140,000 gold coins?"
