Chapter 12: The Castle
That is, the newly discovered planet pioneers have the right to relative autonomy, just like the Mo family today, the ancestor of the Mo family, as the first generation of pioneers, after gaining a foothold in Moganshan, a certain range of the entire Moganshan is actually equivalent to the private property of the Mo family.
In this day and age, the least valuable thing is land, because there is too much ownerless land waiting to be developed by the owner.
But why is it limited, that is, according to the law promulgated by the Earth Federation that year, the cities on the new planet must be managed by the Earth Federation, that is, once a city is formed on the new planet, it must be included in the management system of the Earth Federation.
This is actually a system similar to the dismantling of peaches.
It is difficult to open up a new planet, and it is even more difficult to gain a foothold, and the Earth Federal Government really does not have the energy or strength, but it does not want to let it go, so under the compromise of all parties, a new planet reclamation bill was introduced.
Of course, there are countless versions of the specific situation in folk circulation, but it is precisely because of this bill that a city like the Mo family that is not a city has appeared.
But no matter what, the essence of the Mo family is still a family, a family formed by the slow development of a village thousands of years ago, just like the poisonous dragon village of the poisonous dragon thief.
It's just that the Mo family has developed into what it is now, and even after five hundred years, the poisonous dragon village is only a poisonous dragon thief.
The reason for this is actually very simple, that is, the foundation, the Mo Family's Mogan Mountain has seventeen dragon veins, but the Poison Dragon Village has only one dragon den that is almost abandoned by now.
Therefore, Morey was still very much looking forward to the Mo family's seventeen forts, but when he really saw the Mo family's seventeen forts, he couldn't help but feel a big disappointment in his heart.
The Seventeenth Fort of the Mo family is not big, that is, a three-story ancient stone fort covering an area of more than 1,000 square meters, perhaps because the years are too long, the entire castle is covered with a layer of black and gray unknown ancient vines, almost the entire castle has been buried.
In addition, the entire castle is obviously not well maintained, and there are debris and leaves everywhere, but it is not the dozens of servant guards standing respectfully in front of the castle gate, and Morey almost thinks that it is a relic that has been abandoned for an unknown number of years.
Regarding the changes in Morey's heart, the big housekeeper Mo Qing seems to understand very well.
"Seventeen rooms actually had problems two hundred years ago, and now, the monthly income is only the little dividend sent from the master's side."
Morey was stunned, if this was the case, the seventeenth room would be a pit.
After living so much, how could Mo Qing not understand Morey's thoughts, in fact, since he knew that Morey was taken over by the Mo family, he sent someone to learn about Morey's past in detail, so Mo Qing is definitely not a stranger to Morey.
After all, as the head of the seventeenth house, this burden is actually not easy, if Morey is not capable, he would rather Morey not return to the Mo family.
"There's something to talk about in the fort."
"See the head of the house."
Hearing this greeting, Mo Lei was somewhat impressed, although he was also the boss of the village in the Poison Dragon Village, but the Poison Dragon Village did not have such rules.
It was as if he had fled and walked into the Seventeenth Fort with Mo Qing, and it felt like walking into a museum.
Although Morey grew up in the Poison Dragon Village, he still entered the city, and he also entered the so-called ancient museum, and this Seventeen Castles is such a feeling, ancient, solemn, or in a word, shabby.
Since the five elders did not appear all the way, it means that his return to the Seventeen Forts should be accepted by the entire Mo family, at least the Mo Elder Association.
Looking at it all the way, Morey knew more or less that there should be a lot of untruths in the words of the five elders before, because these seventeen castles looked obviously not as rich as he imagined, and even in some places, Morey could see all kinds of traces of rough leakage.
Finally, after walking through the entire Seventeen Castles, Morey and the chief butler Mo Qing walked into a small study room where there were not many books.
This is a very old, predominantly wooden study, not only the desks and shelves are made of wood, but even the doors, including the walls and floor, are laid with a strange kind of wood with a hint of blood red.
But after entering this study, Morey could clearly feel a strange aura, and Morey was no stranger to this aura, because in the poisonous dragon village, there was also a secret room with a similar aura.
It's just that in the secret room of the Poison Dragon Village, you must be calm to feel this breath, and in this study, even if you step in, you can clearly sense this abnormality.
In fact, it is not correct to say that it is abnormal, it should be said that it is a sense of tranquility from the depths of his heart, and in addition, as he breathes, Morey can clearly feel that the cells in his body seem to be heating up, and that feeling is as if he is taking a medicinal bath.
"Dragon Vein Aura!"
Morey couldn't help but take a long breath, and with this inhale, he was almost certain that this should be the land of the dragon vein.
It can be said that after entering the Seventeen Forts, this is the only place that can satisfy him, or meet his expectations.
"This is the Forbidden Secret Room of Seventeen Forts." As he spoke, Mo Qing suddenly let out a long sigh.
This also made Morey a little strange, he couldn't care about breathing the dragon vein aura for a while, and asked directly: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong here? ”
Mo Qing suddenly showed a kind smile on his face, which was not found in the formulaic smile before.
"There's nothing wrong here, but there are too many things wrong with these seventeen rooms now."
Morey didn't show anything unusual, in fact, from the moment he came to the Mo family, he knew that things were very abnormal, so he had already made all kinds of psychological preparations.
If he could choose freely, Morey actually didn't want to return to Mo's house from the bottom of his heart, because the pie falling from the sky was too big, and it was enough to kill him directly.
But it's a pity that from the beginning, he didn't have the slightest choice, so he could only accept it silently.
On the contrary, the smile on the face of the great butler in front of him now gave him a real sense of intimacy, rather than the seemingly warm intimacy of the fifth elder.
Morey couldn't help but smile, and then sat down directly on the wooden chair next to him.
"Butler, tell me what's wrong."
Morey's attitude obviously made the chief butler Mo Qing very useful, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face after coughing lightly.
"Your kid is as clever as your grandfather, but it's a pity that the matter of the seventeenth room today is not something that one or two people can change at all."
As he spoke, the gloom on Mo Qing's face became heavier and heavier, and he finally changed his words: "But fortunately, you are luckier than your grandfather, and you don't need to carry it alone." ”
Morey somewhat understood, but before he could continue to ask, Mo Qing had already shook his head and sighed: "You don't need to know these things for the time being, and when you need to know, I will naturally tell you, but this time I will take you over, but there are a few things to hand over to you." ”
As he spoke, before Morey came back to his senses, Mo Qing suddenly popped a few rays of energy at a metal object similar to a decorative object above the bookshelf.
After a series of taps, a very hidden dark grid suddenly appeared on the stone wall that was originally integrated next to the bookshelf.
All this Mo Lei didn't feel strange at all, because not to mention the Mo family, it was the poisonous dragon village where he was originally located, and there were several such secret secrets.
Including outside the poisonous dragon village, there are also several secret places that only the owner of the village knows about.
Except, of course, for the poisonous dragon turtle in Morey's sleeve, as the heirloom of the poisonous dragon thief, he knew almost all the secrets of the poisonous dragon village.
But in the same way, this poisonous dragon turtle was also controlled by the successive owners of the poisonous dragon village with special methods.
Although the Poison Dragon Turtle is a legend, it is also a captive of the Poison Dragon Village.
Morey looked at Mo Qing a little strangely, Mo Qing explained the secret situation as soon as he saw him, which was somewhat inconsistent with Morey's cognition gained from various novels or legends.
Mo Qing also seemed to understand, and covered his hand with one hand and coughed lightly a few times before laughing: "It's strange? ”
Morey thought for a moment and nodded.
A smile appeared on Mo Qing's old face and said, "Actually, these things originally belonged to your grandfather, especially this one, which was originally brought back by your grandfather." ”
In fact, there were only three small boxes in Mo Qing's hands, one of which was a wooden box, a jade box, and the other was an iron box with a lot of temptation.
And what Mo Qing was talking about was the jade box that seemed to be the most valuable.
Mo Qing also handed over the jade box to Morey for the first time.
