Chapter 118: Father and Son (Part II)

Chapter 118: Father and Son (Part II)

Du Wei was slightly startled in his heart. He didn't expect his father to investigate so clearly! The only people who know about the tabernacle of his own private property are himself and Mad, and Du Wei firmly believes that Mad will never reveal a single bit, and is absolutely loyal to himself. And my father actually made it so clear, it seems that his investigation of the property under his name has taken a lot of effort!

"This is only the first year, if in two years, your annual private income will probably exceed the family tax revenue of one year in the Rollin Plain!" I didn't expect that the son I gave birth to was actually a business genius.

Since his father had a direct showdown, Du Wei didn't plan to hide anything, he just smiled: "Those are some nonsense things I made, although they can make money, but they are just small tricks, and the family is not short of money now." The ability to make money is not of much use to the family.

"So, what about that fleet of yours?" Count Raymond smiled.

Du Wei was not surprised at all that his father knew about the fleet, and he shrugged his shoulders: "It was just an accident." I happened to meet a very good thug, and without her help, I wouldn't have been able to get such a fleet..."

Count Raymond sighed, he stared deeply at Du Wei, frowned, and said slowly: "I'm strange... Why? "

"?" Du Wei glanced at his father.

"You're smart." Count Raymond said in a deep tone, word by word: "Even I think that your cleverness is rare in the history of the family!" Even I, when I was a teenager, definitely didn't have the mind and ability of you! But why, when you were in the imperial capital, you deliberately wanted to be so low-key. Mistaken for you as an 'idiot'? Now that I think about it, although you don't mean to pretend to be stupid, you seem to be deliberately facing those misunderstandings, and you don't defend at all, as if you are happy to see that situation! So, I wanted to ask you...

Why!

Count

Raymond looked at his son, his tone was resolute, waiting for Du Wei's answer.

Why?

Du Wei was silent for a long time. This is a question that is really difficult to answer... No, not hard, but unanswerable!

Although he didn't mean it back then, he intentionally or unintentionally led everyone to misunderstand him and was misunderstood as an idiot, but he was happy to see that situation.

Because of myself... Not in this world. That kind of discouragement and laziness. I just want to be carefree and live freely... How to explain it to others?

Yes, I just want to live freely and peacefully. But in the imperial capital, this cannot be done!

But these reasons could not be explained to the father.

Looking at Du Wei, who was silent. Count Raymond couldn't wait for an answer, sighed again, and he shook his head: "You don't want to say, I won't force you." But I know very well... You. It seems that since I was a child, I didn't like me very much. Right?

Du Wei still didn't speak.

Count Raymond did not wait for Du Wei to answer this time, but he continued to speak without thinking about himself.

"When you were born, I was not by your side, and as the patriarch of the family, I carried the glory and responsibility of the entire family! As an imperial general, I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of expanding the territory of the empire. Even when you were three years old, I only met you for the first time... Actually in my heart. I feel deeply guilty about you, for your mother. Count Raymond slowly took a sip of wine and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It's just that you should be able to understand." As a man, many times, these thoughts are not expressed.

Du Wei didn't speak.

"You don't like me. This has been the case since I came home. The first time I picked you up. You can see it in your eyes. You never spoke, and later if it weren't for Made... Hey! You don't even want to contact me. Although I don't know why you can have those thoughts at such a young age. Maybe you are a rare genius of the Rollin family... Perhaps, because when you were young, I was not by your side, not by your mother and son, and did not like me. I can understand all this.

After

a pause, Count Raymond suddenly asked, "Do you know why I drove you out of the imperial capital in the first place?" "

"... Know. Du Wei finally spoke, and he said in a low voice: "Because you are disappointed in me and think that I am not a qualified family heir. Count

Raymond nodded: "Do you hate me?"

Du Wei shook his head: "No, what I'm going to say is... I don't hate you.

"Oh?" Count Raymond was slightly surprised.

"Yes." Du Wei sat up straight, and his tone was solemn: "You are the father, but more of a patriarch of the family." So you can't treat your own son like a normal father! You have to think about the future of the family, the future responsibilities, the rise and fall of the entire family. In this case, abandoning a son who is considered unproductive, I understand this behavior very well... So, I don't hate it.

"You really understand." Count Raymond didn't seem surprised: "But your guess is only half right."

He stood up, walked over with the wine glass lightly, and looked at Du Wei: "The reason you don't know about the other half is... I'm here to protect you! My son! You... It's my son after all! I am here to protect you!

Du Wei couldn't help but tremble.

"The imperial capital is the power center of the Roland Continent! The most prosperous city, but at the same time, it is also the most cannibalistic place on the entire continent! Hum... You see, His Majesty the Emperor, the royal group, the wealthy group, the military group, the power of the temple land, the power of the magic union... For hundreds of years, you eat me, I bite you ... Hmph, in the past few hundred years, how many once glorious families have now disappeared into history! I used to misread you and thought you were a... Well, although I am disappointed in you, after all, you are my son! I can't watch my son grow up in this cannibalistic place of the imperial capital, and watch you flow into this messy aristocratic circle! I thought you weren't smart enough, I thought you were mediocre, in that case, I'm afraid that anytime and anywhere, you will be eaten so that there is not even dregs left! So, I threw you back to the Rollin Plain, in fact, to protect you!

Count

Raymond looked at his son, and at this moment, the expression on his face was completely a father.

"My thought is simple: although you do not inherit the talent of the family, you are my son after all! Let you stay away from the complicated and dangerous place of the imperial capital and live some free and happy safe days in the territory. There, you are safe, and even if you are mediocre, you can at least live a comfortable life for decades. As long as the family does not fall in the emperor, you can at least live a rich and happy life! And even if..."

"Even what?" Du Wei couldn't help but ask.

"Even if the family suffered a catastrophe one day in the imperial capital, like those wealthy families who had fallen in history, they raided the family and destroyed the door... Even if all the people in the imperial capital die left, you are far away in the Luolin Plain, and there is still time to escape! When the time comes, incognito will also leave a seed for the Luolin family! The imperial minister said slowly: "Wealthy families have always done this!" The best people stay in the imperial capital to fulfill their responsibilities for the family, but they also have to leave some seeds to leave the imperial capital, just in case!

Du Wei's face was solemn.

"You are my son." Count Raymond said squarely: "Although I thought you were far less intelligent than your brother Gabri, in my heart, I still love you."

Du Wei was suddenly a little moved, although his mind was tough, but the emotion that was touched at this moment surged up from his heart uncontrollably!

"I'm not saying this to you today because of anything else. Because father and son have been misunderstanding for too long! And I understand now that you are far smarter than I thought! Therefore, I don't want to waste any more time, and I have said all these words to you, because I understand that with your cleverness, I will be able to understand. At the same time, I also want to tell you something..."

"What's going on?"

"You must be very strange..." Count Raymond's face was gloomy: "It stands to reason that a month or two ago, after you were recognized as a disciple of Gandorf, when the news came, I should have summoned you back to the imperial capital immediately, but I dragged it out for so long!" Aren't you strange?

Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I... Thought you didn't like me.

Count

Raymond was stunned, and then shook his head: "No, what I want to tell you now is that even now, I am very reluctant to recall you!" This time I summoned you back to the imperial capital, I really dragged and dragged, pushed and pushed. But the pressure from all sides made me unable to delay any longer, so I had no choice but to recall you! It was not my intention to bring you back!

Du Wei frowned: "But I, although I have the identity of a disciple of Gandorf, but this identity, is it so important?" Why do so many things cause this? Gandorf's apprentices, there are still a few more alive, one more of me, no less, no less. Why is it me who caused so much trouble? Count

Raymond suddenly sneered and pointed to the magician robe on Du Wei's body: "Just because of this robe on your body!!" "
