086 Legacy Tokens
Ling Qi has been "seriously repairing" for several days in a row. As Lei Yue recovered from his injuries, the Grand Duke's Mansion returned to its previous state of laxity, but Ling Qi felt that this laxity was only superficial, as he saw Ryan passing by, his face was a little solemn.
On the morning of the fifth day after entering the Grand Duke's Mansion, he had just driven a modified speedboat out of the car warehouse and parked it by the lake, when he saw a group of special people trotting towards this side quickly.
What is special is their identity, the leader is a little boy of three or four years old, holding a toy speedboat and running like a gust of wind, causing several adults to follow behind have to trot to keep up.
"Little master, slow down, we can't keep up." A group of adults pretended to be out of breath, trying to get the little guy to slow down, but the little boy was a tiger and rushed forward.
Soon, he walked through the flower beds to the wide lawn by the lake, and his eyes lit up when he saw the spaceship in the lake and the speedboat on the shore. He ran harder towards Ling Qi, because he was the only one on the scene.
"...... Uproar"
The little guy first stopped at the edge of the converted speedboat and let out an exclamation, looking very cute. Ling Qiguan'er, hearing the title just now, knew that he was the descendant of the Grand Duke, and nodded to the several men and women behind him, who were obviously the subordinates who were responsible for taking care of the little boy.
"Did you modify these speedboats, I want to modify them too." The little boy looked at Ling Qi and raised the toy speedboat in his hand.
Ling Qi took the toy and saw that it was a plastic model of a speedboat. The ship model is also a ship, and it is still within the scope of the modification of the captain's system skills, and it only needs to change the shape. He laughed, "No problem, but why would you want to modify it?" ”
"It's even more beautiful after the modification!" The little guy said crisply.
Ling Qi nodded and said, "Okay, you wait here for a while, I'll help you modify it right away." ”
He returned to the Tomahawk with his toy and remodeled it in the shape of a modified speedboat. After the transformation, it is indeed much more beautiful, the streamlined hull and flying wings make the toys more vivid, and he took it upon himself to create a few big characters on the hull of the ship.
"I always feel like there's something missing...... That's right, it's the thrusters. "The turbines in the thrusters were originally fixed, but Ling Qi separated them and transformed them into movable ones, which could make the turbines rotate by lifting them against the wind or blowing on the air intake.
In just a few minutes, the toy is completely changed, and anyone who sees it will only think that it is a brand new toy. Ling Qi saw the little boy waiting on the shore through the exterior scene, and he couldn't bear to delay, so he went out directly with the toy.
"Now, it's changed!" Ling Qi blew on the thruster and let the turbine inside spin before handing it to him.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" The little one's eyes lit up, and he couldn't put it down with his toys in his hands, and he played on the lawn. After playing for a while, he remembered Ling Qi, rolled his eyes, beckoned him to squat down, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Thank you, when I become the Grand Duke in the future, I will make you the Minister of the Interior!" ”
Ling Qi couldn't help but laugh, fortunately he didn't want to make him a eunuch! However, he also did not know if this sacred profession existed in this world.
Several men and women looked around in horror, and only relaxed their expressions when they didn't see outsiders present, and then gave Ling Qi a warning look. Seeing their reactions, Ling Qi nodded in understanding. The little guy dares to have this kind of mind before he is sensible, and he is definitely a master who can make things happen when he grows up, although there is no taboo in fairy tales, this kind of words are still easy to cause taboos from other heirs.
In the afternoon, the little boy came again, bringing another model of a speedboat and asking Ling Qi to help him modify and install weapons on the two toy decks. This was not a problem, Ling Qi casually helped him modify it. Now the little guy played even more crazy, playing a game of speedboat battle with a few people on the lawn.
In their casual conversation, Ling Qi learned that this little boy was actually the youngest son of the contemporary Grand Duke, no wonder he could play so wildly. And this little guy seemed to like the lawn by the lake, and he came here to play for the next two days, bringing one or two new toys each time to ask for modifications, which unexpectedly attracted Lei Yue's attention.
On the afternoon of the seventh day of entering the Grand Duke's Mansion, when the little boy came to play again, Lei Yue came quietly. He stood in the shade of a tree and watched for a long time, and saw his youngest son and his subordinates playing with a few speedboat toys on the ground, having a good time, and a smile appeared on his face.
Ling Qi had seen Lei Yue's image on the Internet, and at this time, he saw him in the warehouse through the location transmission of the captain's system and recognized his identity. Suddenly, Lei Yue's eyes looked at the Tomahawk like lightning, as if he was looking at Ling Qi from across the air.
Ling Qi felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, this was definitely a powerful guy, and it was much stronger than him, the other party must have sensed the peep on the Tomahawk.
"It's hard to do now, I thought that the weakness and incompetence of the Grand Duke of Diwu led to the country being divided by his warlords, but now it seems that he is obviously a strong man, and things are not simple." Ling Qi smacked his teeth. In order to avoid misunderstanding by the other party, he took the initiative to come out of the warehouse and saluted the elders to the juniors.
"Ling Qi Ling Qi, can you also come and play with me, you can help me drive this speedboat." The little one saw him and shouted to him. There is one less person who came with him today, and he has one more toy unmanned "driving".
"Okay!" Ling Qi went over to join their speedboat melee game, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lei Yue turn around and leave.
The little guy played too hard and fell beside Ling Qi in a stumble. Ling Qi helped him up, and when he saw a lightning-shaped pendant falling out of his chest clothes, he pinched it with his fingers and helped him stuff it back into his clothes.
At this moment, the captain's system sent out a prompt: "Discover the token of the cultivation inheritance of the first Grand Duke of the Duchy of Diwu!" ”
Ling Qi didn't have the slightest pause in his hand, and continued to play with the little guy. It hung around the little one's neck, and he couldn't snatch it, and he couldn't cheat it. And the captain system only prompts that it is a token, but it does not explain how to use it and where it is inherited.
However, there has finally been progress, which shows that the inheritance really exists.
"I definitely have to get the token, but how to get it is a headache." He pondered the countermeasures in his heart, and found that it was very difficult to start. The Grand Duke hung such an important thing around his youngest son's neck, and it was difficult to tell whether he knew the secret.
In the evening, a beautiful young woman, accompanied by several subordinates, came to her, and the little one called her mother, and excitedly recounted the day's "achievements".
He couldn't get enough of it, and he didn't want to go back so early, because the other subordinates would only pretend to be hit immediately when he fired the shot, which was not fun for a long time, and today Ling Qi helped him formulate some rules of play, which was very fun, and he still wanted to play.
Ling's seventy-level strength was tired of tossing, but this little guy seemed to have infinite energy and was tireless.
In the end, he was still dragged away by his mother, because Lei Yue held a family banquet tonight, and all his relatives had to attend, so he had to go back to bathe and tidy up first.
After dark, Ling Kairong and Lu Youjin brought people to send a lot of food, and they already knew that there were two big stomach kings here, Ao Ying and Anu, so the food portion was at least enough for twenty ordinary people to eat. They also stayed on the Tomahawk for dinner together while chatting about what it was like to have a new job.
Ling Qi knew from their words that only the contemporary Grand Duke and his family lived in the Grand Duke's Mansion, and the side branches and their married children had already taken their titles and moved out to various properties. Since the Grand Duke lost power, starting from the side branch bloodline, more and more people announced that they would break away from the Lei family's family and start a new business with the industry under their control.
This has caused the already dire economic situation to lose more support, and if it continues, it may not even be able to maintain the normal operation of the huge mansion. Ling and Lu had hidden worries on their faces, they were both prosperous and indirectly affected by the Grand Duke's Mansion.
Ling Qi had no direct interest in the Grand Duke's Mansion and would not pay attention to the news in this regard, but when he heard them say this, his heart moved, and he said, "So, the family banquet held by the Grand Duke tonight is also related to the situation he is facing, right?" ”
"As subordinates, it is difficult for us to inquire about these, but we only know that the children and counts of the Grand Duke who have separated have all been called back, and some brothers and sisters have also returned......"
While they were eating and chatting, the huge family banquet scene in the Grand Duke's mansion was exceptionally quiet and serious, everyone enjoyed the food silently, and occasionally a child made a noise, but it would also be stopped by relatives, and there was no joy at all.
Gradually, when the family banquet came to an end, Lei Yue coughed dryly, indicating that he was ready to speak, and everyone stopped moving and looked at him in unison.
"Keep eating, listen while eating, the family doesn't have to be so serious." He said, waving his hand.
Some people continued to eat as he said, but many more simply put down their utensils and waited for the next step. Seeing this, Lei Yue said after cleaning his hands and mouth: "I called everyone back to eat together today, so that everyone can remember that your roots are all here, and you all walked out from here." ”
"Over the past few days, many people have forgotten their ancestors and declared their disconnection from us. I, Lei Yue, have no ability, so the inheritance passed down from my ancestors is controlled by others, divided and held. Now, instead of uniting our own family, we want to further divide the family business and shake the foundation of our ancestral business. ”
"I know that under the secret stirring of some people, our Lei family people have been suppressed by some nobles, but do you think that if you declare your separation, you will not be suppressed?"
No one answered, and Lei Yue continued alone: "Those who announced their separation are not here today, I don't know what they think, but I know that some of you also plan to learn from them and want to break away. For example, the fourth, can you tell us, what do you think? ”
He looked at the old man sitting at another separate table, who was his own brother. The other party's face changed, and he argued in a panic: "Big brother, I don't have such thoughts. ”
"Didn't you? It's so sad that you're ready for everything, and now you don't even dare to admit it! Lei Yue shook his head and mocked.
The fourth child felt countless thorny eyes in the field, and his heart was bitter, feeling that this trip was difficult. He stood up with a wry smile and saluted Lei Yue. Suddenly, he made a lightning strike, grabbed the little boy from another table next to him and hugged him to his chest, and pinched his neck with the other hand.
"Big brother, I know you dote on this little son very much. Let me go, and I won't hurt him. He smirked and beckoned his two sons, who were also present, to come closer.
Everyone was shocked by this change, and Lei Yue frowned: "Put down the wind, I didn't plan to do anything to you, just to ask for an explanation." ”
"Since we didn't plan to do anything to us, we will naturally send him back in one condition after we leave." Back to back, they held the little boy hostage and moved out the door.
