Chapter 488: Lightning and Thunder
Nearly two hundred years ago, as one of the four major families in the world, the Louis family's ten fleets set off from Guangqizhou to the Yuan Chu Realm, they wanted to explore the Yuan Chu Realm, and they had the idea of opening up a new route.
In the upper right corner of the map on the table, there is a line of small letters that read, "Obsidian 1810 New Edition", and Louis Castle seemed to look closely at the map, and after determining the direction from the compass, he said to the people around him:
"The route is right, it is estimated that you will be able to enter the sea area of the Yuan Chu Realm the day after tomorrow. ”
Outside the round window, several wrist-sized lightning bolts appeared, and the lightning struck the sea, as if someone was warning them not to move any further. But this did not stop the castle's heart, which seemed to be full of blood, and soon, in the continuous thunder, a mourning news came.
"Patriarch, a ship has been sunk!"
"Go and save the wounded!"
This was the first reaction of the castle, as the patriarch of the Louis family, he wanted to protect his people. But the messenger bowed his head and said in despair:
"Patriarch, they're all dead!"
"What?"
Bao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"A ship, more than 700 people are gone?"
"I've seen them with my own eyes, they've been struck back and forth by three or four bolts of lightning, so ......"
The news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the deputy patriarch, Louis Scott, said uneasily:
"Patriarch, why don't you stop there?"
As soon as he made this suggestion, everyone echoed it, and everyone began to retreat, but Louis Castle seemed to be resolute.
"Can't hold back!"
"But patriarch, from the beginning to the present, we have four ships sunk in the sea, and more than a thousand people have sunk in the sea, these are the elites of our clan!"
The taxi began to resist, and Louis Quan Shuai, who was beside him, said:
"Patriarch, what the deputy patriarch said makes sense, if we continue like this, we will not be able to achieve our goal! These thunderbolts, as well as the previous sea whirlpools, are all blocking us, the heavens don't want us to die, this is to remind us, give us a chance!"
The noisy discussion did not kill the castle's desire to go, but he got tired of listening, and slapped his palm on the table, and with a thunderous sound, the measuring tool on it rose and left the table.
"Don't say it! You feel sorry for the dead clansmen, don't I feel sorry? I am the patriarch, all the pressure is on me, what do you think I am doing this for? The Meng clan and the Yanxuan family have disappeared for less than a hundred years, and our Louis family, as the four major families of the new world, simply does not have enough background to compete with the other three clans, even the imperial clan that won this title at the same time as us is stronger than us!"
The castle seemed to be roaring, and the sound of angry shouts silenced everyone present.
"In the face of the current situation, we can only change, not rest on our laurels. As a patriarch, what I want to do is to dedicate to the family, so that everyone will recognize us, and then benefit future generations. The Yuan Chu Realm is a forbidden area for everyone, and no one dares to approach, as long as we go to the Yuan Chu Realm, whether or not a new route is opened, it will be considered a success, you know?"
His words silenced most people, so their lives didn't matter?
"Do you hear that?"
Outside the window, thunder and lightning roared, but not as loud as a castle, and his shouting was like a reckless man scolding his cattle and sheep, and everyone did not like such a tone, but they still answered one by one. Fort, who gradually calmed down, sat down on a chair and said lightly:
"Anyone who says such things again will wait to be dismissed! If the circumstances are serious, kill!"
Louis Smith, who was the first to propose a return, gritted his teeth and followed the crowd out.
Louis Shi couldn't figure out why? Why was it so stubborn? The reason why no one went to the Yuan Primal Realm was because it was too dangerous, otherwise it would have been opened up a long time ago. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the castle-like face and reprimanding tone made him have a crazy thought.
Louis Shi found Louis Quanshuai, closed the door, and said coldly:
"Quan Shuai, we're done now. ”
The commander understood what the soldiers meant, they shook the morale of the army at the juncture, and they would definitely be demoted after returning to the clan, and their status would also decline in the future.
"I was impulsive, I shouldn't have talked back!"
"It's okay, I'm with you. ”
"Shi, you are the deputy patriarch, no matter what you say, you are the patriarch's own brother, and you will be fine. ”
"Hey...... Brother, hehe!"
He was afraid that the commander would not agree, because the plan was so terrifying that if the commander told him about his plan, he would be dead, even though he was like a fortress...... Dear brother!
"Since I was a child, my parents only liked him, I was just a crane tail, I sometimes don't understand, they both gave birth to such an excellent brother, why bother with me as an ugly duck. ”
"Don't say that, Shi, you are also very good in my heart, you are the deputy patriarch. ”
Quan Shuai patted Shi on the shoulder, he knew that Shi and Bao seemed to have a contradiction, and the relationship between the two had always been bad, even like fire and water. In the clan, the two often have conflicts, but blood is thicker than water, and it should be fine.
"Quan Shuai, I won't tell you, I'm very moved, only you help me speak today. ”
"We've been good friends, since we were kids!"
His first small star cluster came at the age of eight, when many people had not yet been exposed to the power of star clusters. Since then, his path of cultivation has been smooth sailing, and he is only thirty-six years old, and he has obtained two star gods, two large and one small star cluster, which is comparable to a general's strength, which is why he can become a patriarch.
At the age of thirty-three, he became the patriarch, the youngest and strongest patriarch in the history of Louis!
In contrast, Shi's talent is not so good, since he was a child, his talent has been crushed, and he is not even comparable to some children in the clan. Therefore, his parents ignored him, and when he was a child, he couldn't touch anything like a castle, but he seemed to be able to do anything, no matter what the castle seemed to take from him, no matter how valuable things were, it was not important in the eyes of his parents, because nothing was more important than being happy.
The childhood taxi was once in the shadows, and some memories will never fade away for a lifetime.
"Mom, my brother snatched my toys. ”
The snot and tears flowed wildly, and the mother's eyes were full of disdain.
"Oh, then you can give it to your brother, you can't use those things that are good for IQ. ”
"But my brother has it. ”
"Shi, you have to let my brother go, he will become a genius in the clan in the future. ”
That year, he was five years old, and Bao was like eight, and since then, the gap between them has grown.
"Dad, my brother is so handsome today!"
"Of course, your brother has a large star cluster at the age of thirteen and is a true genius!"
"Invite the parents of the son of genius to the stage!"
The patriarch of the Louis family immediately pronounced the names of the two men, and a pair of proud parents happily took the stage, but left their youngest son in the crowd. The taxi stood in the crowd, slowly submerged, what about his father, what about his mother, there was only darkness in his eyes, he was accidentally trampled on, his arm was dislocated, and he was scolded when he came home.
"Shi, what's the matter with you? Look at your brother, can't you study like him? I have to worry about you when I receive an award. ”
"It's useless. ”
Castle seemed to laugh at him, and cried with morale.
"I didn't hit you again, why are you crying?"
The father was as stern as a knife, and he didn't know that words were more heart-wrenching than a slap.
"Alright, let's eat, it's time for us to go to the clan. ”
The parents took the hand like a castle and left happily, and the taxi's dinner was on the table, which was a bowl of delicate noodles with eggs and fried meat, but because the mother was in too much of a hurry, the eggs were not fried, and the meat was still a little raw.
With tears in his eyes, Shi ate them one bite at a time, knowing that if he wasted food, his parents would talk about him again. Tears fell into the bowl, the man washed the dishes, sat alone in his room, he couldn't go into the room like a fort, now everyone was not at home, so he looked like a look.
Push open the door, the inside is clean and tidy, because his mother cleans him every day, there are beautiful posters on the wall, and there are beautiful music boxes. The taxi did not dare to touch it, for fear of being bad.
He quietly picked up the piece of paper on the ground and re-stuck it in the door, this was not the first time he had seen this little trick. The taxi sat in a room with nothing, looking at the mirror alone in a daze, because he couldn't do a lot of things, so he loved to be cranky, and he only had better grades in the school than in the school, but that kind of written thing, which could not attract the attention of his parents.
Later, the results of the taxi became better and better, and he was one of the best in the clan, but he was forever overshadowed by the glory of the castle. He was nothing more than a castle, but the priest was getting smarter and wiser. He worked hard to improve his strength, slowly mastering traps and poisons after each defeat.
People who don't have enough strength can only choose these, and their strength depends on talent, and they all say that success is equal to 1 percent of talent and 99 percent of effort, but in the first way of cultivation, 1 percent of talent is more important than 99 percent of effort. But the traps and poisons that are called "evil paths" are different, and if you work hard, you can master them.
Shi is three years younger than Bao Xi, and today he is thirty-three years old, and he has only one star god, two large and two small star clusters. It's a world different from the castle, but he still became the deputy patriarch with his own ingenuity.
In the dark years, his only friend was Quan Shuai, who was always with him, and he always cared for him and took care of him from childhood to adulthood. After the school ends, other children have parents to pick them up, but there are not, and other children have playmates, but there are not. He has low self-esteem, low self-esteem to the core, who will like him? Even his parents don't like him.
Sometimes the weather is bad and it rains, and everyone is waiting for their parents to bring umbrellas, but the taxi sits in the corridor, waiting for the rain to stop, and there is a lonely breath in the air and raindrops. There were many people who walked by the soldier's side, only the right man held an umbrella for him, and he sent him home all the way with a smile.
A brother is more reliable than a lover, although Shi has never loved a woman, but he has always felt so!
"Quan Shuai, I hurt you. ”
"Huh?"
"With your strength and talent, your status should be higher, but because of our relationship, the castle seems to have always lowered your position in the clan. ”
Quan Shuai knew about this kind of thing, but he shook his head unhurriedly.
"It's okay, it's all for the sake of the family, and I never regret it, it's worth it to know you. I've been with you since I was a child, and you're with me. ”
"Quan Shuai, I have a crazy idea, I need you!"
"You say!"
"It's like I'm going to kill the fort. ”
"Huh?"
Quan Shuai sat up, his face full of consternation, he turned to open the door, saw that there was no one in the cabin, closed the door again, and locked it.
"Shi, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, you are just angry, don't say this kind of thing in front of the patriarch. ”
"No, I'm very conscious now, and the castle seems to be very strong, but he is not fit to be a patriarch. Quan Shuai, think about it, it seems that Bao has always made decisions without considering the consequences, this is not the first time, he wants to prove himself too much, and even urged the Star God at the World Conference, so that the Louis family will lose in his hands. ”
"That can't kill him, if he dies, the next patriarch ......"
"It's going to be me!"
He was well aware of his current position.
"Whether it is in the world government or in the clan, I have a good network base, I can be the next patriarch, I am smarter than the castle, you should know this, I can be a better patriarch than him. ”
Bao seems to pay too much attention to strength, he just wants others to recognize him, but he doesn't pay attention to connections, this kind of thing, sometimes more important than anything.
"Taxi ......"
"Quan Shuai, promise me, you know that I don't care about the position of the patriarch, but I care about this family as much as you, otherwise I wouldn't come to be the deputy patriarch, and I will be angry like a castle every day!"
Quan Shuai is thinking about it, what the priest said makes sense, the strength of the castle is the material of the patriarch, but he seems to only have strength. This kind of person who doesn't think about the consequences can't be the patriarch, and the castle seems to use his strength to make the Louis family appear in front of everyone, but he will also make the family fall because of his character.
Quan Shuai said:
"Tell me your plan first, and then I'll judge whether to help you or not. ”
Shi believed in Quan Shuai very much, and told his plan in full. When the two of them discussed, the fort didn't seem to notice anything, but the lightning outside the window kept roaring, like a wail, like a reminder.
