Chapter 26: Bloodline

85_85536 "I'm really glad you think so, my child. ”

Baron Otto looked carefully into William's eyes, and his eyes showed sincerity and calmness. He took another deep breath, then sighed, and then complimented William with this:

"It took your father a long time to figure this out. In this respect, you are much better than me. ”

"There's no ...... about that," William blushed a little when he heard his father compliment him. Because there is no comparison between the two at all. The foundations of the two sides are too different. In the era of information explosion in later generations, he came into contact with all kinds of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign military books and war strategies, all kinds of logic, human psychology, thick black science and the like, as well as all kinds of conspiracies and tricks in history, William has read a lot. Although the state of the environment in the other world, as well as his own identity, did not give him the opportunity to apply what he had learned, but in any case, his ability in this area was much stronger than his father's.

Asking Baron Otto to compare this with him is basically the same as asking him to compete with Baron Otto in swordsmanship, which is a difficult thing for a strong man.

After that, William and Baron Otto said something else. The details of these two plans were scrutinized, and some small flaws and loopholes were filled.

Of course, in this process, it was basically William who was speaking, and His Excellency the Baron was listening. At the end, His Excellency could not make any other movements than a mechanical nod.

That's it, that's the end of it. William scrutinized it carefully, and then felt satisfied, the experience and knowledge from the information explosion era of later generations are really suitable to fool the dirt buns of this era.

But then, he was a little worried—worried that his appearance this time was really outstanding. Will this cause his father, Baron Otto, to be suspicious?

To William's great surprise, however, Baron Otto had no surprises, or doubts, or any other thoughts. It was as if he thought that his son, William, should have mastered these techniques.

This made William very incomprehensible. Could it be that he had similar signs before this?

But that's not right, is it...... Recall your previous cousin. Indeed, the previous version of William showed his strengths only in terms of learning. Other places don't seem to have much of a sparkle.

Originally, there had been a huge change in their children's personality and abilities, and it was impossible for parents not to notice and express their strangeness. If you haven't seen each other for a long time, maybe it's better. Or maybe I met a very powerful teacher or grandfather from a certain organization.

But William grew up under the care of the baron for more than ten years, and he didn't encounter any strange messes during this time. And then all of a sudden, there was such a big change, but Baron Otto, as a father, did not say anything about it. This made William feel very unhappy.

That's the kind of thing that was originally very nervous, and I was afraid that the other party would ask about it. But the other party really didn't ask about this, and when the punch hit the empty place, William would feel very unhappy. There is a feeling of being despised and not taken seriously.

"There must be some secret here. ”

William Xin thought this way:

"There must be something that would convince my father that there is a reason, a matter of course, for me to become so insidious and cunning. But what is the reason for this?"

Thinking of this, William hesitated for a moment, but in the end he still did not ask Baron Otto directly. It was at this time that Baron Otto asked a question that William found strange:

"So what if he refuses to help us?"

It took William a little time to figure out what Baron Otto meant:

"Are you saying that if His Excellency doesn't care if we make this matter public, even if it is to throw dirty water on himself and get the wrath of the Hereford family and other Mazovian nobles, so that both sides will not be willing to help us?"

William also followed the example of his father, Baron Otto, and frowned:

"Father, did you say you robbed his woman?"

"-No. Baron Otto hurriedly denied it.

"Then why is he asking for such trouble?" said William, looking strange.

"That's, that's ......," Baron Otto looked embarrassed for a moment—in fact he asked for a reason, and it was actually quite understandable. It's because William's table is so good. This made him feel that his majesty as a father had been weakened. Father, father - it's not bad to say that your son is better than you. But it's also important to divide the age group.

Baron Otto was now less than forty years old, and William was only fourteen years old. In this case, shouldn't it be the father who wants to be mature, steady, wise, and rational to teach the son who is not mature enough, not steady, not wise, and irrational? But now, why is it all the other way around?

Therefore, it is necessary to pick a little loophole, even if it is not rational enough, it is better to find a little loophole, and then William grabbed his hair and said embarrassedly: "Ah, this thing, I didn't expect it to be like this at all, ahhahaha......" and then he said a few words about people outside the world, the world is broader than you think, don't think that you can be complacent or anything with a little achievement.

But, sure enough, this is too difficult for an uncle who has nothing but a sword for half his life......

"If, though, we were really pushed to that point. At this point, William's tone became much lower: "If Your Excellency is really a hopeless idiot, if the situation you have said really arises, then we do have another way to go." ”

"Another way?" Baron Otto was even more strange when William said this, he did not understand at all, how could there be any other way to go in such a situation where there was almost no room for maneuver.

"Yes, another way. William smiled, looking at his father's confused expression, enjoying the intellectual superiority:

"That is, before this, I had a little communication with that centaur Huntaiji. The other party once said that the Khan of Tartaria admired his father very much. ”

"Yes, so what?" Baron Otto couldn't help frowning, and then asked.

At this time, maybe he was too proud, or he didn't realize the strictness of this matter. William was completely oblivious to the increasingly ugly countenance of his father, Baron Otto, and was still speaking with great interest:

"So, he used to say, and the Khan of Tartaria said that if his father could take refuge in Tartaria, then the position of the Daru Huachi of Mazovia—"

"--Well, don't say any more!" Baron Otto stood up abruptly and flipped his chair with the momentum: "The previous strategies are forgotten. I can tolerate my son having such a city and a mind - but now, what you say is too much, William, do not forget your identity, do not forget your race, your country! Don't have a next time. Otherwise, even you, even if you're my son, I'll—"

Speaking of which, Baron Otto couldn't go on with it. After all, William is also his son, his only relative in this world. In the past ten years, he has all his thoughts on William. At this moment, if he was asked to say the words that killed him, he really couldn't say it.

After being stunned for a moment, Baron Otto sighed, then waved his hand and said to William:

"You go first, I'll be alone for a while. ”

Seeing him like this, William opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. After saluting Baron Otto, he turned and left the study without saying a word. Faintly, he heard Baron Otto put his chair back up, followed by sighs, and faintly heard the baron muttering, "Is this your child?" and words like "sure enough" and "cursed blood".

After that, there was a long sigh. Without receiving any other information, William did not speak again, turned and left the study. Go back to your room.

"Is this your child, just like you, this cursed bloodline......" William took a moment to relate to the context, and then pulled out the words he hadn't heard clearly. It can't be exactly the same, but it should be pretty much the same.

"Your child is really ...... like you" Father's words are probably quite different from mine. William, who was lying on the bed, thought so in his heart.

Then, the father should not be talking about himself, but someone else. And this person, who is still the closest to me, can give me the person of the 'cursed blood'...... Mother?"

William quickly analyzed these elements from his father's self-talk. But then, he couldn't analyze it any further.

From childhood to now, there are only a handful of things he knows about his mother. Even if you deduce it carefully, what he knows may not be as valuable as what he knows today, what he just knew, and which his father inadvertently revealed. His father, Baron Otto, was secretive about his mother's every word of the word, and did not speak to him at all. He didn't even know what his mother's name was and who she was.

After hearing Baron Otto's inadvertent words, William's doubts about his mother increased again. It's just that he still can't help it, he still can't help it......

"Even if you ask my father questions, he won't tell me, right?" Lying on the bed, William thought helplessly. In the end, I can only give up, hide this question in my heart for the time being, and wait for the next day to solve .......
