Chapter 40: Pirates of the Caribbean
During the day, he took the time to assist Jacques in the two courses of alchemy and history, which made Fat Tang feel that he was a little stupid as a servant, and he had to ask the emperor for such a simple question, hey, how good it would be if he could change one.
Fat Orange, who claims to be reading a book tonight, does what he says.
In order not to waste time with that cunning boy, Fat Orange waited until 11 p.m. before leaving.
The moonlight on the roof is as cool as water.
Fat Tangerine strode along the moonlit roof, full of spirit, full of energy, and full of vitality.
It tumbled out of the back wall of the familiar Guild of the Transcendentals, crossed a sparsely populated intersection, jumped over a high wall, and landed in a pretty garden.
It passes under a bush of purple and red flowers and flicks its tail to slap a mosquito.
It passed by the pond with lotus flowers, and passed under the big tree that knew the humming, and did not stop.
Fat Orange walked through the path in the bamboo forest, and finally saw the house built in the middle of the bamboo forest, and on the front porch of the door, one of the two pots of epiphany, was about to bloom, and the purple flower stalk supported the low-hanging white bud.
The white bud suddenly moved, causing Fat Tangerine to stop and crouch in front of the pot to observe.
The heavy and crushing flowers trembled and trembled. In the fluttering, the petals slowly open and stretch, revealing a beautiful face. Dense, fine white filaments swirl out from the core, and the fragrance is overflowing.
"When an epiphany blooms, it withers within an hour. ”
An old voice sounded behind Fat Orange, startling Fat Orange, it didn't move, just slowly turned its head to look at the source of the sound.
I don't know when there was an old man standing under the porch, no source energy fluctuations, but he was able to get close to him unconsciously, and Fat Orange was sure that this old man was the master among the grandmasters, and he felt stronger than Jacques's father's.
The old man sighed: "It is a flash in the pan, and the mayflies will return to dust in the morning." Our life is just a snap of a finger, and all efforts are just for that moment to be more brilliant. ”
The old man continued to laugh at himself: "Haha, what do I feel with your cat. I guessed that you would come back today, but you were very well-behaved, and you didn't make trouble when you entered the young master's study. Come, this one for you as a reward. ”
The old man took out a chicken leg out of nowhere, put it on the steps, and motioned for the fat orange to eat.
Fat Tangerine did not hesitate, took out the usual appearance of pleasing Emma and Lily, wagged his tail, meowed, stepped on broken steps and ran to the old man's leg to rub it, then turned his head and bit the chicken leg, and jumped into the bamboo forest.
"Interesting little guy. The old man laughed.
On the other side, the fat orange hid on the other side of the house, and he was not in the mood to eat chicken legs, and he was terrified.
Meow, there's a grandmaster guarding the door! This place is amazing, I must go back and find out where this is. It's very unwilling to withdraw the emperor now!
Support the bold and starve to death the cowardly, the emperor still doesn't believe you, and he won't sleep!
So Fat Orange still slipped to the window, sneaked in cautiously, found a corner and squatted down, waiting for the people in the house to leave, it believed that the old master would evacuate with the people in the house.
It was none other than Count Baptiste and his son.
The Earl of Baptiste was lying on the sofa smoking a cigar, and the handsome Robert was still at his desk, writing something.
The Count said, "Just hand over the blueprints, and you won't get any benefit!"
Robert replied without raising his head: "This is just a stepping stone, and it is also a means of self-preservation." I needed a chance to prove myself. Just like Great-Ancestor proved that he was a great inventor by relying on glass at the beginning, there were people who supported him to study the nautical formation. I also need this opportunity, but I don't need anyone to support my research, I want to have authority. ”
The earl continued: "Why don't you give it to the royal family? The royal family has more power and gives more, and our family's earl title is also given by the emperor." ”
Robert finally finished writing, picked up the paper and examined it, and after a minute, he finally said: "If the drawings of the Galen ship were given to the royal family, they would only be shelved and would never have had a chance to become the overlord of the seas." Only the two Grand Duchyes of Castile and Stuart had great interests in the sea, and the drawings would become reality only in their hands. The Stuarts have already laid their hands on me, and I have used this drawing to prove to them that I have inherited the wisdom of my great-grandfather and that I am useful. ”
Robert then handed the paper in his hand to the Earl, who read Robert's letter and nodded from time to time. After reading it, he said: "I will arrange for this letter to Duke Strong and the blueprint of Galen's ship to be delivered to the Stuarts." By the way, how do you know that man is a spy for Stuart?"
Robert replied with a smile: "Didn't Lily report the tunnels of the camp and the suspicions of the attack of the giant clawed wolves after the attack?
But there is a principle, if Lily dies, who will benefit the most? Thinking about it with this idea, it must be the gang led by Viscount Ginoa, who have wanted to overthrow our family since the time of their great-grandfather, and they are the last ones they want to see me and Lily marry. With the Earl of Naseri's family having deep ties in the South, and Lily being his favorite niece, this marriage will make it impossible for our family to integrate into the southern aristocracy, and their chances of overthrowing us will slim.
So I used some people to check Viscount Ginoa to see if I could find a clue to the wolves, and I accidentally found out that Viscount Ginoa had sent an inconspicuous person to investigate, and according to this clue, I finally set up a bureau to find the big boss of the Stuart spy, which is why I was able to save the day with this assassination. Thanks to Viscount Ginoa. ”
The Earl sighed with emotion, "Hey, this time we sent out the blueprints of the Galen ship, do we have any other good things? These are all the treasures that Grandpa left us." ”
Robert said: "Our family can't afford the shipbuilding business, so it's better to send it out for safety." Those books that Grandpa wrote to you are an endless treasure to be discovered. ”
Robert picked up a book on the table and said, "The drawings of Galen's ship are from this "Pirates of the Caribbean", the exploded map, the detailed data, and the construction points are all clearly recorded in it, hey, you read it as a storybook, but you didn't find the secret."
I have been working on these two books lately, and soon new inventions will be made, and if I can succeed, I will take advantage of the situation to go to Rand to find a position in the government of the principality, and then become an auxiliary minister as soon as possible, and even the first assistant, and in the future I will be in power in Castia. Of course, first I would marry Lily, who was an integral part of my entry into Castia's inner circle of power. ”
The Earl smiled, "It's best if you think so, I'll help you marry Lily." But what prompted my son to get out of the study? Could it be the grandfather's books?"
Robert looked at the few books on the table and replied: "When I read these books left by my great-grandfather, I knew that I had the responsibility to raise this world for the better, this is the responsibility left by my great-grandfather to our family, you and grandpa have escaped, I think I am the only one who has taken over this responsibility." ”
The Earl asked excitedly, "Is the code unlocked?"
Robert shook his head and replied, "No, but I know what that invention is! ”
......
The Imperial History Books:
In the year 920 of the Western Sahara calendar, the famous scholar and great inventor, Count Lee Baptiste, died.
Before his death, the son of a fishmonger who had been made an earl by the emperor for his great invention wrote a long letter and sent it to the headquarters of the Guild of the Transcendental. The letter said that this was his last invention, even greater than the nautical formation, and could completely change the world, but he was afraid that such a change would develop in a completely uncontrollable direction, so he wrote about the invention in a cipher, waiting for a chosen one to crack the code.
The Transcendental Guild released the full text of the long letter, and sure enough, no one could understand the follow-up to the letter.
Those strange square symbols have stumped countless people.
Lee Baptiste's code has been passed down ever since.
