Chapter 244: A Rich Son
"An Guogong has been promoted."
Shaodian was silent.
Everything becomes reasonable, this promotion is not an ordinary promotion, Jiang Tong was originally a dominant knight, and then he was promoted to a legendary knight. Seventh-level combat power has a lifespan of at least three hundred years, and Jiang Tong has taken this step and has already broken away from the category of ordinary people.
Seventh-level masters are rare in time, except for a few specific places, such as the magic tower of Gonglianggu in Pingzhong County, the magic tower of Rongci in Tianmen Town, and the two magic towers in the capital of Zhenjing, where the world's well-known magic masters live, but there are few who can really see them.
Legendary knights are said to have one in each of the ten dukes, but there are few people who have actually seen them and can confirm that these ancestors are still alive.
Jiang Tong was promoted to become a legendary knight in everyone's sight, and as a rule, relatives and friends were invited to celebrate, and the heavyweights of the kingdom would also attend the Jiang family's celebrations. He set it for October 13 and notified his relatives and friends through specific channels.
The Ding family has ways to obtain information in Zhenjing, the most important of which will notify Ding Qi as soon as possible, and the minor ones will be passed on to Qian Bu regularly. Jiang Tong's promotion to a legendary knight was naturally the first thing Ding Qi received the news, and he didn't have time to reach Qian Bu.
As Jiang Tong's only son-in-law and only grandson, no matter how important things are, they can only be put aside, and they must be present to celebrate Jiang Tong, which is a respect for Ding Qi's wife and Ding Kui's mother.
The remaining nine players in the state competition were relieved to learn that Ding Kui had abstained from all finals, including Jiang Cao and Jiang Yu, who had mixed feelings. There is no need to face a difficult opponent like Ding Kui, and the pressure in the final is much less.
There was a player outside the court who was full of grief and indignation, and finally won the "final challenge right", because the early birth of the tenth place completely blocked his hope of entering the finals, and this person was Yang Ling.
The "final challenge" is to avoid missing a strong opponent, but if the 10th place player has defeated the 11th player in the group, the "final challenge" will be automatically invalidated. Whether Ding Kui or Xun Le ranked tenth, Yang Ling could not challenge.
On the way from the inn to the magic teleportation array in Zhennan City, Ding Kui asked, "Father, why are we in such a hurry to get to the capital?"
"Your grandfather is going to hold a 'promotion ceremony' tomorrow, and those who are juniors must arrive a day early, especially you. You are the only one of the third generation of your father-in-law's descendants, and you cannot afford to miss such a grand event. Ding glanced sideways at his son, who was already higher than his chin.
"The 'Promotion Ceremony' is great, so my grandfather has been promoted to a legendary knight. Grandpa is so powerful, I have never seen a knight of level seven, and this time I finally have the opportunity to see it. Ding Kui took out two gold coin cards from his arms, "There are two million gold coins here, you can use them to buy gifts for your grandfather." ”
"Two million, where did you get so much money?" Ding Qi was surprised.
"Don't you know, with the support of my grandfather, my child has started a small business and has made some money in recent years. ”
"Hmph, how can my father-in-law support you to engage in a small industry. Anyway, it's his old man's money, and it should be used back on him. Ding Qi didn't believe in what kind of industry this son was going to get, at most he was using Jiang Tongmeng to spend some money.
"Really. Ding Kui was anxious, "Have you heard of "Watching the Moon" in Lu Guo?"
"No, you kid made "Moon Watching", Ding Qi immediately reacted.
"Of course, it's not me, who else in this world can make such an industry?" Ding Kui still wanted to brag, but Ding Qi stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Alright, there's a bit of your mother's ghostly spirit. Without the support of your father-in-law, where would you find the person who wrote the article? Where can you find the capital? I'm afraid that most of the things in "Watching the Moon" were told to you by someone sent by your grandfather. Ding Qi guessed seven or eight points in his heart.
"Well, that's true. Ding Kui was embarrassed.
"It's still your grandfather's money, and it's more reassuring to spend it for your father. Ding Qi stuffed the two gold coin cards into his pocket, looking at ease.
This time, there are four people who have gone to the capital through the teleportation array, and the father and son of the Ding family plus the housekeeper have brought a personal guard commander, and the most important people in the Protector Mansion are here.
The old man was Ding Kui's retainer, and before Ding Kui inherited the title, he didn't have much of the mark of the Protector's Mansion.
Although Qianyou is a magician, he is also a follower of Ding Kui, and he can't represent the Protector's Mansion, so neither he nor the old money can attend Jiang Tong's "Promotion Ceremony".
Ding Kui was the first time to go to the Wizards' Guild to take the portal, although he had walked through the ancient portal, and the current portal was different from the one he had walked before.
The portal in the Demon Division is not carved into the wall, but a separate stone arch enclosed by a large six-pointed star array.
It is said that the stone used in this stone gate is the meteorite left after mining the ethereal spar, which is very precious in the south of the Hengduan Mountains, and the two major empires in the north still have some inventory.
Could there be an ethereal spar hidden in that portal in the cave? It is impossible that the entire cave is made of meteorite, and the magic core alone can pass through space, and there must be another mystery inside the stone wall.
After seeing the portal of the Demon Branch, it inevitably caused Ding Kui's speculation.
A white light lit up in the stone archway, and the magician guarding the portal motioned for them to pass through. Ding Qi and Ding Kui are experienced, and they have steadily stepped into the realm of the Capital Magician Association.
Ding Kui, who had just arrived in the capital, looked around, wanting to take a good look at the largest city in Shaodian Kingdom, Ding Qi stretched out his palm and pressed it on the top of his head, saying: "This is the Magician Association, the important place for the defense of the capital, don't look around." ”
"Oh, yes. Ding Kui suppressed his strong curiosity and lowered his head.
"Is it the Lord Protector?" asked a magician.
"Exactly. ”
The magician nodded, and Ding Kui immediately felt a wave of magic power around him, it turned out that the portal here of the magician always had a defensive magic array, which was always open, and it would only be temporarily closed when the people inside were to be released.
Walking out of the Magician Association of Zhenjing City, a carriage with the Ding family's family crest was already waiting at the door.
"Kui'er, this is Lao He, the old gatekeeper of the Protector's Mansion in the capital. For so many years, his family has been guarding the mansion given by the kingdom. Ding Qi pointed to the coachman.
The coachman jumped out of the carriage and limped to Ding Kui to kneel, but Ding Kui hurriedly held him up and said, "Why don't you make this big gift." ”
The porter Lao He stubbornly broke Ding Kui's hand, knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said, "The slave greets the young master." Young master, this is the family rule of the Ding family, you can't let the slave bear the reputation of betraying the master and messing with the family. ”
Ding Kui said helplessly: "Okay, He Lao, please get up." ”
Lao He was lame on one foot but still agile, and he could see that he was insisting on exercising, so he jumped up and said, "Young master, don't call me 'He Lao', the master housekeeper can afford this title, but the slave can't stand it."
The slave was picked up by the late master on the battlefield, you can call me 'He Cripple', those old comrades-in-arms back then called it that, the slave sounds kind. ”
"You just rely on him, and call He lame man very happy, and say what is the best name to live. Ding Kun said behind Ding Kui.
"The housekeeper still understands me. Master, young master, butler, please get in the car. ”
"You are a dead cripple, don't you think you didn't see me?" Quan Sihai laughed and scolded on the side, this is all his own people, he is more relaxed.
"Sihai, you're a good driver of the car, come and help me. "He Cripple seems to be quite familiar with Quan Sihai.
"Go directly to Jiang's Mansion. Ding Qi commanded when he got into the car.
At that time, the Ding family planned to move back to the old mansion in Xiaxi Town, leaving only the porter He Cripple's family to guard the Guohou Mansion, so He Cripple's family escaped the attack fifteen years ago and was not killed by the lightning brought by Ding Kui's crossing.
The title of Marquis of Protector has not been deprived by the kingdom, and the Marquis of Protector has not been withdrawn, but it has been empty for fifteen years. He Cripple is in charge of guarding the mansion and delivering the news, and the news of Jiang Tong's promotion this time was sent by him to Ding.
"He lame, who else is there in the family?" Ding Kui had never heard the housekeeper mention that there was such a family in the capital before, and he thought it was very mysterious and interesting.
"Back to the young master, my wife went a few years ago, and my daughter also got married, leaving a son, daughter-in-law and a little grandson in the family. When he mentioned his family, He Cripple had a smile on his lips.
"How old is Sun Tzu?" Ding Kui continued.
"I'm eight years old, and that kid is very skinny. ”
"Eight years old, haven't you started apprenticeship training yet?" Ding Kui could see at a glance that He Cripple was a knight, and he could feel the fighting spirit on his body, but he didn't know his cultivation.
"This doll has no talent like his father, even if he condenses his fighting spirit, he won't be able to go far in the end, and he will be able to advance to the Shield Breaking Knight. Speaking of this, He Cripple's eyes were a little lonely.
"Grandpa Kun, if you have time, you can go to the Lu Chamber of Commerce and ask if there is any elixir to improve your physique, if you have one, take one back, and tell them that the money will be deducted from my account. Ding Kui didn't know if he had time to go to the Lu Chamber of Commerce, so he had to tell the housekeeper to do it.
"You don't want my doll to eat elixir, do you? He lame looked back at the carriage.
"Do you want to buy it for us old men to eat?" replied Ding Kun for Ding Kui.
"I can't help it, young master, how can I spend the elixir Lang on my grandson, now a pair of elixirs to improve physical fitness is the cheapest one and a half million gold coins." "He lame man is in a hurry.
"You still have so much money?" Ding Qi was not calm.
"That's right. You haven't come back for so long, and many things haven't had time to report to you, so the copyright of "Watching the Moon" was sold to Lu Guo for four million gold coins, but the money was temporarily stored in Lu's firm. Ding Kui took out four more gold coin cards of one million.
Ding Kui didn't know what copyright was, but knowing that Lu Guo had recently founded a magazine did not prevent him from understanding where Ding Kui's money came from.
