Chapter Seventy-Five: Passing on the Secret
Baron Paragus said, "What does that mean? I don't quite understand. Are you implying that my ancestors are related to you?"
Xiao Chen said: "I guess your ancestors should have kept a secret all along, a secret that will not be revealed to the public. ”
Baron Paragus glanced at Xiao Chen deeply, but did not speak, as if waiting for Xiao Chen to continue.
Xiao Chen said: "He is from another world, and he didn't belong here. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about! Even if you want us to submit to you, you don't have to talk nonsense. Awadia said.
"Avadia, you go out. Baron Paragus said.
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Avadia was stunned, "Is there really any secret about the ancestors?"
"There are some things that you should know yet. The baron said.
Xiao Chen said, "Your Excellency, I think it's time for your son to know about these things. Otherwise, you have planted doubts in his heart, and it will make him sleep. ”
"Father!"
Baron Paragus glanced at his son and did not let him out again. He said to Xiao Chen: "According to what you mean, do you come from the same place as the Tower of China, and you admit that you are not from this world?"
Xiao Chen said: "Yes, we are not from this world. For some unknown reason, I crossed over here. ”
The baron wondered, "Your Excellency, I am really surprised that you did not keep such a thing a secret? I thought that at least you would make up a story to hide your identity." I didn't expect you to admit it in front of me. ”
Xiao Chen said: "It's not that we haven't thought about it like this, and we haven't made this matter known to everyone. But hundreds of people appeared in this world, for those powerful great magicians, saints, and even gods. Where is it so easy to hide. In conclusion, some people know this, others don't. But we didn't keep it as the most confidential thing, at least like now here, I'll tell you about it. ”
Baron Grappas looked normal, but his son was already stunned, and what Xiao Chen said was completely beyond his knowledge of the world.
Xiao Chen said: "In this house, I have seen a lot of unique things, all of which are only available in our world. For example, this special style painting, the sword on the outside, and most importantly, the way you run the territory, all have our style. ”
Baron Paragus said, "Since you have shared your secret, I will not hide anything. Yes, our ancestors were people from another world. This is a secret that only the patriarch of the Feng Wen family will know. The ancestor's full name was Feng Wen, and we used his name as a family name in order to blend in with the surroundings. ”
Xiao Chen said: "Well, I've already guessed, but didn't your ancestors actually tell you the name of China? Or didn't he tell you something about China? Otherwise, you should have some feelings after hearing the name of the Tower of China and seeing our envoy." ”
"The inheritance that has been handed down to me is not complete, and the ancestor left three booklets, one of which records his life's experiences, and there is a story of where he came from. The other book records the way to run the territory and do business, and this is the source and basis for all these things I do. The last book contains a record of his magical experience. The last two have survived, but the first was destroyed by the fifth generation of ancestors.
At that time, the book was occasionally seen by his wife's relatives, and it almost revealed the biggest secret of our entire family. Although he later managed to keep the secret, after thinking about it, he decided to destroy the book altogether. He memorized the contents and burned the book clean. Therefore, the life of my ancestors was passed down orally from generation to generation by my fathers, and it is inevitable that many things will be mispassed or lost in this way. Baron Paragus said.
"What era is Feng Wen from, and how long has it been since now?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Our ancestors were people from more than 400 years ago, and it has been 13 generations since they came to me. "So many things have happened on the continent over the years. In fact, not only has some knowledge been lost, but our family's inheritance has almost been severed. Especially in the war of the collapse of the Black Dragon Empire, we were on the side of the Black Dragon Empire, and that time our Feng Wen family died many people in the war, and the rest were also implicated. As a result, Feng Wen's inheritance has lost a lot. ”
Xiao Chen said: "I'm very interested in his affairs, just tell me what you know." ”
Baron Paragus said, "Master Xiao Chen, even if the ancestor and you are from the same place, this is a long, long time ago, even if you inquire about his story and find some common ground, it does not make us more willing to join you. ”
"No, that's a good thing for you, on the one hand, people are always more tolerant of people of the same blood. Xiao Chen said, "On the other hand, whoever you want to join or serve, you must hope that their principals know you well enough so that they can consider your situation when making many decisions, and I am now the acting chairman of the China Tower Management Committee." ”
"So far, we haven't promised anything. The baron said.
Xiao Chen said: "You will agree." The reality is that you don't have any other choice. Your Excellency, you are a man who can discern the situation, and you will not continue to walk down that dead end after seeing three defeats. So, you should agree to my request first and become my partner. Then let's sit down and have a good chat about what you know about Feng Wen. ”
Baron Paragus paced back and forth in the room, pondering for a while, then raised his head and said, "Your Excellency Xiao Chen, I don't know if you have cast any magic on me, before inviting you to this conference room today, I am making a plan, I will not consider any requests related to territorial power." However, what you just said actually convinced me a little. I don't want to join you, but I don't want my territory to be ruined, like a craftsman who makes a beautiful vase, and even if he can't own it, he wants it to be placed on the table by someone else, filled with flowers. ”
Xiao Chen said, "I didn't cast any spells on you, it's just your own feelings that helped you make a choice." ”
"It seems like I really don't have a choice. ”
