Chapter 68 Sea Steel Fortress
Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie who was sitting across from him with a relaxed smile on his face, feeling a little annoyed and amused in his heart.
"I said... Leslie, didn't you claim to go back and fight for the family inheritance with all your strength, and then control the entire Stark family? What happened? Why are you expelled from the house now?"
"No, no, you have to figure out one thing. It's not that I was kicked out of the house, but that I left on my own initiative." Viscount Leslie stretched out a finger and shook it. "There's a big difference between the two, don't get it wrong."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "Is there any difference? In short, the result is that you are now forced to leave the Stark family, and you can't even stay in the Lampari Kingdom. You can only come to me. I said, Si Does Duke Tucker want to be so cruel to you? Say that you are also his biological son."
"For great nobles like my father, having a son is not as important as you think."
Son of Leslie... Well, when he was expelled from the Stark family, he was also deprived of his noble status by the noble council, and now he can no longer be called a viscount.
There was not much disappointment on Leslie's face, but he looked extremely relaxed, as if being kicked out of the house by his father was something to be happy about. "Of course it's something to be happy about." Leslie smiled and said, "Staying in that house, I have to breathe suffocating air every day, watching a group of people headed by my father? Looking at other people, I was very bored a long time ago. This time I wanted to try my best to change this family, but my father obviously saw through the thoughts in my heart long ago and never gave me this chance. "
"Then don't you feel disappointed?" Xu Yi was a little puzzled. "Now you have been kicked out. Don't you have a chance to change the entire Stark family in the future?"
"No chance, no chance." Leslie shrugged. "Father and those people in the family have already chosen the path they want to take. Since I have no ability to change them, I can only leave by myself. In fact, this is also good, because in the end I am still the blood of the Stark family, as long as If I am still alive, this family will still exist. As for what my father and the others will become, that is none of my business."
Xu Yi frowned and looked at Leslie, and suddenly remembered that some history books he had read on Earth said that in history, many great families wanted to avoid the destruction of the whole family because of a single choice. Often let the children in the clan choose different lords to support. In this way, even if one side is defeated, one side can always be preserved, so that there is an opportunity to continue to develop and grow the family, and the blood of the family can be continued in the worst case.
Duke Stark has now driven Leslie out of the house, although this is because Leslie's political views are completely different from those of him and the entire Stark family, and maybe there are also thoughts in this regard .
But Xu Yi couldn't ask this question. After thinking about it, he asked: "Well, now you can't get along in the Lampari Kingdom. You came to me, maybe you want to stay with me Looking for something to do?"
"Well. I've always been interested in the magical machinery you're researching. I also heard that your chamber of commerce has recently developed a good thing. I'll come and have a look." Leslie replied.
"What do you fancy?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"If the time is correct, last time you told Haines that that thing is going to go into the sea today. Let's go, take me to see it." Leslie got up and walked out the door.
Xu Yi was taken aback: "So you took a fancy to it?"
Looking at Leslie's back wonderingly, Xu Yi shook his head, got up and followed.
Just as he walked out of the door, a small figure staggered towards Xu Yi and rushed towards Xu Yi, hugging his leg.
"Dad...Dad...hug..."
Xu Yi leaned down, opened his arms and hugged Freya, and kissed her face forcefully.
Freya is one year and three months old and has just been able to walk freely on the ground. During this time, she likes to run around in the manor every day.
Xu Yi likes to play with her on the grass of the manor as soon as he is free, so even though Xu Yi doesn't actually spend much time with her, it makes her very close to Xu Yi.
Pricked by Xu Yi's beard, Freya let out a series of crisp but childish laughter.
Seeing Xu Yi teasing Freya, Leslie touched from his bosom, took out a red crystal jade pendant and handed it over.
"Come on, Freya, take it. Uncle Leslie left home in too much haste this time and didn't prepare a better gift for you. You won't blame me, will you?"
With the current relationship between Xu Yi and Leslie, there is no need to be so polite. Xu Yi didn't say anything, even though Leslie stuffed this crystal jade pendant, which was worth a lot at first glance, into Freya's little hands, Turning to him and asking: "Speaking of which, Leslie, I suddenly feel that there is another very important reason why Duke Stark kicked you out of the house and that you still refuse to get married, right?"
Leslie's complexion changed, he glanced at Xu Yi, and snorted coldly, "What? Now that you're married and have a daughter, are you urging me like those annoying guys?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I'm too lazy to urge you, this is your private matter. I just think that Duke Stark must hope that you can strengthen the blood of the Stark family. If you take a girl back now, he will always Be happy, maybe it will let you return to the family."
"I'm not a stallion only responsible for breeding." Leslie snorted. "And as I said just now, I chose to leave by myself, and I was not kicked out by him. There is a difference between them."
Xu Yi only thought that he was being stubborn, shook his head but didn't say anything more, seeing that Freya was leaning on him and refused to get off, so he explained to Liz who had been in charge of following Freya today, and asked her to take the magic car Come on, get into the magic car with Leslie, and drive to the pier on the coast below the cliff of the manor.
Compared with when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first came to the Principality of Standing to open the Xinfei Farm, this pier has undergone some expansion, from the previous three piers to the current seven piers.
In addition to the port wharf, a dock with an area of 100,000 square meters was built not far away.
On the coast near the dock, there are hundreds of boats, large and small.
Except for a few wooden boats, the rest are magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, these magic ships also vary in size, and the small ones can only accommodate no more than five people, which is about the same as the smallest wooden sailboat.
The larger ones are more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide, and it is not a problem to carry more than a dozen people or equip some goods.
Xu Yi hugged Freya and got off the magic car, pointed to the magic ship parked on the sea ahead, and asked Leslie who got off the car on the other side: "You came for them?"
"Of course not." Leslie shook his head, glanced at Xu Yi, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, Xu Yi, Haines has already told me all the news, so don't keep it a secret anymore. Tell me quickly, when will your new magic ship launch ceremony start? I can wait and see."
"Hainas is really unreliable." Xu Yi rolled his eyes, handed Freya to Liz, and walked to the distant dock.
At this moment in the dock, a group of people wearing Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are busy, as if they are arranging something.
Seeing Xu Yi coming, Kennard, who was in charge of commanding and dispatching at the scene, immediately greeted him.
"Master President, everything is ready, and we are waiting for you to announce the start."
After finishing speaking, Kennard nodded to Leslie who stopped a little behind.
Both of them came from aristocratic families in the city of Anvilmar, so they naturally knew each other.
Through Xu Yi's relationship, the two are now even more acquainted.
Xu Yi looked at the specially placed timer next to him, and found that the scheduled time was very close, so he nodded: "Okay, since everything is ready, let's start."
Kennard responded and left to make the final explanation.
After a while, a waterway leading to the endless sea in the dock was opened, and with the slowly opened door, a pointed bow slowly drove out of the covered dock, revealing the whole body in a short while, All bathed in sunlight.
Looking up, Leslie couldn't help but gasp.
Although he knew from Haines that the size of the magic ship newly developed by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was very impressive, he never expected that this magic ship would be so huge!
From the surface of the water, the part of this magic ship that is exposed above the water is more than five meters high, and when the entire magic ship is exposed, it can be seen that the front and back are actually more than fifty meters long.
Although Leslie couldn't see how wide this magic ship was because of the angle, but based on its appearance, the width might reach an astonishing 20 meters!
Since setting his future goals, Leslie has made up for the knowledge of ships. He knows that in the history of Sainz Continent, there has never been such a huge ship.
What is even more surprising and even unbelievable is that this magical ship is actually made of steel all over its body!
Such a huge magical ship is all made of steel, and its weight can be imagined.
And with such a terrifying weight, it was able to float smoothly on the water at this time, which simply subverted Leslie's common sense.
Looking at the thick steel armor on the outside of this magic ship, Leslie couldn't help being amazed.
Such a magical ship is like a steel fortress that can move freely at sea.
If you drive such a magic ship on the sea, you will be invincible!
