Chapter 74: Father, Farano
The two exchanged glances and quickly staggered, they both knew that the other person thought the same as themselves, and this kind of eye contact only took a moment. ΞΎΞΎ
Dowlesno got up and walked away quickly, and it seemed that he needed to make some preparations.
Duke Ina closed his eyes and thought to himself how tired he was.
The study suddenly trembled slightly for a moment, and then came a sense of weightlessness, because the study was descending, like an elevator. It's just that this elevator is a bit too big, and the large study room of 200 square meters has 20 square meters down. With Duke Ina's desk and chair, as well as a bookshelf and wine cooler.
Duke Ina was already familiar with this, and he didn't look panicked. The Duke's elevator stopped after half a minute, and it descended a full fifty meters.
It was a huge dark space, and with the arrival of Duke Ina, bright shadowless lamps lit up one after another, illuminating this huge space.
This is a secret space that the successive Duke Canglan can have, this is not only a more secret study, but also the heart of Canglan Skynet, artificial intelligence Canglan has always been here to guard the security of the Skynet system, he has witnessed the original Duke of Canglan until now. It can be said that he has witnessed the development of this planet from its most primitive form to the present, and it can even be said that he is the guardian spirit of this planet.
Duke Ina had wondered a few years ago, when he was still five or six years old, why he was called a guardian spirit instead of a patron saint, and Duke Ina was in his forties at the time, telling him that he would understand when he actually inherited the throne of the duke.
In fact, adults like to use "you will understand when you grow up, you don't need to understand now", "you can do whatever you want when you grow up, now you work hard", this kind of rhetoric perfunctory children.
In fact, adults don't believe these words, they don't understand it when they are young, no one teaches them, how can they understand when they grow up, and it's even more ridiculous to do whatever they want when they grow up.
Even a big man like Duke Canglan is very restricted on weekdays.
The so-called being able to understand everything when you grow up is actually just a lie from adults.
Duke Ina got up and left his chair and came to the center of this underground space, where there was a planetular, which was the picture of the Canglan Star. He looked carefully at this planet, which was 64 miles larger than the sea and land, and looked at every inch of land on it. His fingers flicked the globe slightly, and finally stopped at the city of Canglan in the Eastern Hemisphere.
"Your Excellency." The cold electronic sound sounded, it was the sound of artificial intelligence.
"Well, uncle, you're alright." Duke Ina asked casually.
Canglan was silent for a while, "Lord Duke, please don't call me uncle, since you inherited the title of duke, you are my master." β
"There's something bad about the master, and it always feels awkward to call it like that."
"My lord, that's the rule. It's not just the rules of the Ina family, but also the rules of my role as the guardian spirit of the Canglan Star. β
Duke Ina was silent for a while, "Are you still unwilling to tell me how my father died, since my father died, you have become the cold you are now." When I saw you as a child, your voice and tone weren't like that, it sounded like a real human being."
"I don't know the cause of the death of the former Duke of Canglan, and secondly, I'm just an artificial intelligence and don't need human emotions. Unnecessary emotions only affect my computing speed and productivity. My mission is to protect the planet and the Ina family until my data body is destroyed. β
"Why don't you just want to tell me what you know," the Duke of Ina cried out in pain.
His father, the Duke of Canglan, died when he was eight years old. The cause of death was not death from disease, poisoning, or assassination, but death from severe injuries and severe blood loss.
It was a rainy night, and Duke Ina remembered it very well, when his father, covered in wounds, lay in front of the door of the Duke's Palace, and the rain washed over his body, and scarlet blood flowed out of his wounds and mixed with the rain. At that time, the Duke of Ina sat in front of his father in a daze, not because he was stunned and did not call the police, but because his father had already died, before he came here.
The father was still holding something in his hand, as if he sensed the arrival of his son, and the hand slowly loosened, and a white thing fell out. The Duke of Ina still can't forget that night, the white thing, the same thing he had asked his father to bring him the morning before that night. It's not a precious thing, but it's something that Canglan Star doesn't have.
It's just a white ring of Ofano, which is not very precious, or it is beautifully shaped. He wanted it, and his father agreed to buy it for him.
In fact, he rarely asked for anything at that time, and his father only asked him what he wanted that morning, and he said that he wanted an Ofano ring.
His father promised him, but he died.
To this day, Duke Ina still thinks that it is his responsibility, and if it weren't for him, his father would not have bought the ring, and probably would not have died. But in fact it was fate, even if his father didn't buy him a ring, he would have died there.
Duke Ina just can't let go, it's a guilt for his father.
"Franno told me that he wanted me to forgive his fatherless son, that sooner or later he would understand."
"Understand what" Franno is his father's name, Franno Gerina, the last Duke of Canglan Star.
"Responsibility. The responsibility of the Ina family. He said you'll understand that day won't be too late. β
Duke Ina's face turned blood-red, and he slammed his fist on the control panel, "Seven years, seven years, my father died seven years ago, on that rainy night, you know everything, but why don't you want to tell me the truth?"
Canglan was silent, he had nothing to say for the first time.
"I've been looking for the truth of the year all these years, why did my father die there, why did he die but I didn't find anything, so I should have gone to the Holy Church three years ago to study, but this year I still have to compete with a civilian girl for a place, why didn't you just tell me"
"Is the truth important to you, and even if you know it, what can you do?"
"At least I need to know things, and the truth"
Canglan was silent for a while, and he said in a cold voice, "I'm sorry Lord Duke, I have passed the examination and think that you need to calm down for a while now, as well as sleep properly. As for your question, all I can say is that the time is not right. β
Hypnotic gas was infused into the space, and the dose was controlled.
"When was that," asked the Duke of Ina before he fell asleep.
"When you learn to be responsible." Canglan said so.
