"Allen, the rock you see now is the rough of the Ebuby Crystal."

Duke Tang picked up a piece of limestone on the table and said, "Actually, in the entire Fifth Star Zone, almost all planets have this kind of ore, and it is only because Ebubi has the largest reserves that it is named after this star." It is rumored that the Duke's Mansion is above the ore vein, but it is not wrong. ”

Seeing that Alan was holding the ore and looking at it carefully, he added: "In addition to improving spiritual power, the Ebubi crystal is also an important material for making mechas...... Hopefully, in my lifetime, I'll have this opportunity to see you accomplish this! ”

The old man's eyes were full of encouragement and expectation, and Alan nodded seriously: "I will definitely work hard!" ”

Duke Tang patted Allen on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "I have long known that you are a talented and hardworking child, and you will definitely become an excellent pharmacist!" ”

With that, he led him to the collection room inside.

Walking through the long aisle, there were many portraits hanging on the walls on both sides, and Duke Tang stopped when he walked in front of one of them, he reached out and touched the frame, and spoke softly, as if he was afraid of making a noise: "This is your mother, she...... His original name was Tang Qianyin. ”

The girl in the portrait looks no more than twenty years old, just like Tang Haichao, with black hair and black eyes, and is extremely beautiful.

This is not just a change in appearance from the portrait of the biological mother that Allen saw in Adrington - Cynthia and Tang Qianyin are two completely different people.

Alan originally thought that Duke Tang would tell him something about his biological mother Tang Qianyin, but he changed his words and said with a smile: "I have actually met your father, Lieutenant General Randall!" At that time, I only thought it was a very capable young officer, but I didn't expect it to be my son-in-law...... Now that I think about it, it's no wonder it looks so eye-catching! ”

Duke Tang motioned for Alan to follow him, although the distance was not far, but there were several access controls, and the two of them finally walked to the innermost part of the collection room, and when Duke Tang opened the last access control, his vision immediately widened.

This is a hall with a glass dome!

And in the center of the hall, there is an irregular brown crystal estimated to be ten meters square, which looks crystal clear and extremely spectacular!

"This is the heart of Ebuby," Duke Tang approached the giant crystal and patted it gently: "When it was mined back then, it was a sensation, and later Emperor Louis the Great gave it to the Tang family, and it has been placed here for nearly two hundred years, it is an ancestral treasure of our family, and it is quite valuable!" ”

Duke Tang's tone was relaxed, and he said with a smile: "In addition to this guy, there are other stones in this house, which one you want, take which one you want, and it will be a gift from your grandfather!" ”

Alan looked around and saw that there were many display cases in the hall, on which were placed all kinds of naturally shaped Ebuby crystals, the large ones were more than a man tall, and the small ones were the size of a basketball!

Thinking of their price, Alan hurriedly waved his hand, wanting to decline politely.

"As long as the children of the Tang clan pass the guò family trial, they can get a coming-of-age gift, although your mother Qianyin was seriously injured because of an accident during the trial, but she did pass the final level, and she should have such a gift. Now that she is gone, it is also a thought to hand it over to you, you are a good boy, don't refuse. ”

Duke Tang motioned to Alan to take a look around: "This place and the place we are going to next are all the secret places of the Tang Clan, so it is inconvenient to let the two highnesses and the deacon go together." However, if His Royal Highness Kyle officially marries you and becomes the son-in-law of the Tang Clan, I can call the shots and let him accompany you back to have a look. ”

Feeling Duke Tang's obviously ridiculous tone, Alan turned his gaze to other places with some embarrassment, and suddenly saw a crystal castle!

It is said to be a "castle", but in fact, it is only a little similar, and when you walk in, you will find that the details are still irregular.

Perceiving Allen's gaze, Duke Tang explained: "The Ebuby crystals here are all unpolished natural forms, each one is different, and it is one in a million. ”

Alan suddenly thought that it was the first time he had met Duke Tang in the castle of Selentu, but at that time, he had just adapted to the life, things and people here, and his future was uncertain.

Less than a year later, he still doesn't have a completely clear understanding of the future, but he is no longer alone, which is perhaps the most fortunate thing for Allen!

"Okay, these are actually just bigger stones, you have one of your own," Duke Tang glanced at the pendant around Allen's neck, and continued: "What Grandpa took you to see next, you have never seen it!" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Facing the valley, Duke Tang looked sideways at Allen, who was staring at Allen, and was very proud!

- This is a rare beast that doesn't even have a Serentu! Look at the surprise that surprised us Alan!

If Allen could hear his grandfather, Duke Tang's heart, at this time, he would definitely say to him loudly: "Grandpa, surprise is surprise, but these round guys, I have really seen them!" ”

The black and white fur, the round posture, the lazy demeanor, and the honest expression - isn't it the national treasure of Huaguo, the giant panda?!!!

Yes, once as a native of China, Allen has seen giant pandas in the zoo in just over 20 years of "lifetime"!

"This is the Ebuby Panda, because it looks like a bear is not a bear, and it is named like a cat but not a cat, because there is only this black and white pattern, so it is also called a black and white bear," Duke Tang introduced to Allen: "At present, the whole star field, but only Ebubi can be seen, and the number is less than two hundred." ”

Before Alan could speak, he suddenly felt a sinking of his feet, and when he looked down, he saw a panda cub holding his leg at some point, tilting his head, looking at Alan curiously.

Duke Tang laughed, and actually said to Allen: "This little thing has come here to play again, I'm afraid I also heard the words of the adult, I want to come and see your cousin!" ”

Cousin?!

Alan remembered what His Highness Kyle had told him, and this time he was really surprised and couldn't keep his mouth shut: "This ...... It's ......"

"This is your uncle Tang Qianlin's youngest son, his big name is Tang Haiqiu, and his nickname is Jiu Jiu," Duke Tang looked kind, touched the little guy's head and said, "Jiu Jiu, come, say hello to Cousin Allen!" ”

"Chirp tweet!" Chubby was so obedient that he immediately hugged Allen's leg tighter and made a cheerful sound.

"It loves you!" Duke Tang said with a smile.

After observing the size of the little guy, Alan felt that he should be fine, so he reached out and hugged Jiu Jiu, but he didn't expect to be almost bent by the little fat man who was like a stone.

"Be careful, this little thing is heavy!"

Alan swiped it up, chirped a few times with joy, and arched Allen's chin with his little head while hugging his neck with his little paws.

"How old is Jiujiu?" Looking at his familiar little cousin, Alan couldn't help but ask.

"I will be two years old in two months," replied the Duke of Tang, "and he will be a little older than His Highness Vincent." ”

"Then ...... it possible to transform into a human form?"

Alan wanted to ask this question, but he didn't know if it was appropriate for him to ask such a question, so he stopped talking.

As if hearing what he wanted to ask, Duke Tang shook his head: "Not yet, if nothing else, this kid and His Royal Highness Vincent will have to be two years old before he can regain his human form, and now he can only maintain the appearance of a physical beast." ”

Unlike the little tiger who twisted left and right as soon as he arrived in Alan's arms, he chirped quietly like a little angel.

It hugged Allen's neck, only rubbing it occasionally, and then looked up to peek at Allen's expression, and found that he was smiling, so it leaned on Allen's shoulder with satisfaction.

"We also have children in our family who haven't had such a situation in years." Duke Tang poked its little black ears, but the little guy was not angry at all, but tilted his head and tried to reach his grandfather's fingers with his little paws.

"His Royal Highness Vincent also lives in the inner courtyard now, you have to train during the day, so let Jiu Jiu go and play with it."

When it came to playing, the little guy who had already leaned back on Allen moved, and seemed to be somewhat interested in this mention.

But Alan listened to Duke Tang's words, and looked at the honest and well-behaved tweet, and was really a little worried in his heart - his little tiger is not such a quiet little partner!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the living room, a small furry paw tentatively reached out to a small round head......

"Cub, what are you doing?" Alan took the bottle from Anna's hand, turned around for a few seconds, and when he came back, he saw that the little tiger had stretched out his "claws" to his new friend.

The little guy who was caught by Allen immediately pounced, hugged his legs, and whined as usual, only to look back at strange creatures slightly larger than himself from time to time.

- It's like my ball! Black and white, round! Whew!

"You can't do it, it's a tweet, not your ball!" Alan could guess what the little guy was thinking, shook the bottle in his hand and said to the little tiger: "You see that my brother can drink it himself, then our cubs should also drink it by themselves." ”

The little guy's amber round eyes stared at the "big hairball" on the opposite side, and his heart was itchy, but Alan was watching from the side, and he didn't dare to "commit crimes against the wind", so he could only regretfully jump into Allen's arms and eat "lunch" obediently with the bottle.

Chirp's dark eyes looked at the cub, and there was a look of envy in his eyes, but it didn't take any action, just stared at Alan and the cub, drinking milk while watching, quite a kind of beautiful and delicious meaning.
