The 118th chapter "Father and Son" (part 2)
Du Wei's heart was slightly shocked. He did not expect his father to investigate so thoroughly! Only himself and Mard knew about his own private property. Du Wei firmly believed that Mard would never reveal anything about it and was absolutely loyal to him. For his father to investigate so thoroughly, it seems that he spent a lot of effort to investigate his own property!
"This is only the first year. If you wait another two years, your annual private income will probably exceed the annual tax revenue of the Rollin Plains! I did not expect my son to be a business genius. "
Since his father had already laid his cards on the table, Du Wei did not intend to hide anything. He only smiled: "Those are just some random things that I came up with. Although they can make money, they are just small tricks. The family is not lacking in money right now. The ability to make money is not of much use to the family. "
"Then, what about your fleet?" Earl Raymond smiled.
Du Wei was not surprised that his father knew about the fleet. He shrugged his shoulders: "That was just an accident. I happened to meet a very good fighter. Without her help, I would not have been able to get my hands on such a fleet … "
Earl Raymond sighed. He stared deeply at Du Wei, frowned, and slowly said: "What I am curious about is … why?"
"?" Du Wei glanced at his father.
"You are very smart." Earl Raymond's tone was deep as he slowly said word by word: "I even feel that your intelligence is rarely seen in the history of the family! Even I, when I was in my teens, definitely did not have your brain and ability! But why, when you were in the capital, did you deliberately keep a low profile, causing others to misunderstand you as an 'idiot'? Now that I think about it, although you did not deliberately pretend to be an idiot, you also deliberately faced those misunderstandings. You did not try to explain yourself, as if you were happy to see that kind of situation! So, I want to ask you …
Why! "
Earl Raymond looked at his son, his tone was very firm as he waited for Du Wei's answer.
Why?
Du Wei was silent for a long time. This question was really difficult to answer … No, it wasn't difficult, it was impossible to answer!
Although he didn't do it on purpose back then, he intentionally or unintentionally led everyone to misunderstand him. Being misunderstood as an idiot, he was happy to see that kind of situation.
Because he … did not belong to this world. That feeling of being disheartened, lazy, and only wanting to live a carefree life … How was he going to explain it to others?
Yes, I just want to live a free and peaceful life. But in the Imperial Capital, it was impossible to do so!
However, he couldn't tell his father these reasons.
Looking at the silent Du Wei, Earl Raymond couldn't wait for an answer, so he sighed again and shook his head: "If you don't want to say, then I won't force you. But I'm very clear … You don't seem to like me very much since we were young. Am I right? "
Du Wei still didn't say anything.
This time, Earl Raymond didn't wait for Du Wei to answer, instead, he continued to speak.
"When you were born, I wasn't by your side. As the patriarch of the family, I shouldered the honor and responsibility of the entire family! As a general of the empire, I had to bear the heavy responsibility of expanding the empire's territory. Even when you were three years old, I only saw you for the first time … In fact, in my heart, towards you, towards your mother, I feel deeply guilty. " Earl Raymond slowly sipped a small mouthful of wine, laughing at himself: "But, you should be able to understand. As a man, there are many times when these feelings are not expressed. "
Du Wei didn't say anything.
"You don't like me. When I came home that year, the first time I picked you up, I could see it in your eyes. You were never willing to open your mouth, and later, if it wasn't for Mard … Hehe! You weren't even willing to come in contact with me. Although I don't know why you had these thoughts at such a young age, maybe you're a rare genius in the Rowling family … Or maybe, because when you were young, I wasn't by your side, not by your mother's side, so you didn't like me. All of these, I can understand. "
Pausing for a moment, Earl Raymond suddenly asked: "Do you know why I drove you out of the Imperial Capital?"
"… … I know." Du Wei finally opened his mouth, he whispered: "Because you were disappointed in me, thinking that I wasn't qualified to be the successor of the family."
Earl Raymond nodded: "Do you hate me?"
Du Wei shook his head: "No, what I want to say is … … I don't hate you."
"Oh?" Earl Raymond was slightly surprised.
"Yes." Du Wei sat up straight, his tone very solemn: "You are a father, but more than that, you are the patriarch of the family. So you can't treat your son like an ordinary father! You have to consider the future of the family, the future of the heavy responsibility, the rise and fall of the entire family. Under these circumstances, giving up on a son who was thought to have no future, I can understand this behavior … … So, I don't hold a grudge. "
"You really do understand." Earl Raymond didn't seem surprised: "But your guess is only half correct."
He stood up and gently walked over with a glass of wine. Looking at Du Wei: "The other half of the reason you don't know is … … I want to protect you! My son! You … … are my son after all! I want to protect you! "
Du Wei couldn't help but tremble.
"The Imperial Capital is the center of power in the Roland Continent! It is the most prosperous city, but at the same time, it is also the most dangerous place in the entire continent! Humph … … You see, His Majesty the Emperor, the Royal Group, the Giant Group, the Military Group, the Shrines' power, the Magician's Guild's power … … For hundreds of years, you eat me, I bite you … … Humph, in these hundreds of years, how many glorious families have disappeared into history! I was wrong about you, I thought you were … … Well, although I am disappointed in you, you are still my son! I can't watch my son grow up in a place like the Imperial Capital that eats people and watch you enter this messy circle of nobles! I thought you were not smart enough, thought you were mediocre. If that was the case, I am afraid that at any time, anywhere, you would be eaten until not even dregs would be left! Therefore, I threw you back to the Rollin Plains to protect you! "
Earl Raymond looked at his son. At this moment, his expression was completely that of a father's.
"My idea is very simple: Although you did not inherit the family's talent, you are still my son! I will let you leave the Imperial Capital, this complicated and dangerous place, and let you live a free and safe life in my territory. There, you will be safe. Even if you are mediocre, you will at least be able to live a comfortable life for a few decades. As long as the family does not fall in the Imperial Capital, you will at least be able to live a rich and happy life! And even if … … "
"Even if what?" Du Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Even if one day the family in the Imperial Capital suffers a calamity, like those declining families in history, with their possessions confiscated and their families exterminated … … Even if everyone in the Imperial Capital dies, you will still have time to escape in the distant Rollin Plains! When the time comes, you will be able to conceal your identity and leave a seed for the Rollin Family! "This imperial minister slowly said:" Throughout history, the aristocratic families have always done this! The most outstanding people stay in the Imperial Capital to fulfill their duties for the family, but they also have to leave some seeds in the Imperial Capital, just in case! "
Du Wei's face was solemn.
"You are my son." Earl Raymond said seriously: "Although I used to think that you were far from being as smart as your brother Gabriel, in my heart, I still love you."
Du Wei suddenly felt somewhat moved. Although his mind was tenacious, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel touched from the bottom of his heart!
"Today, I am telling you this, not because of anything else. It is because we, father and son, have misunderstood each other for too long! And now I understand that you are far more intelligent than I thought! Therefore, I don't want to waste any more time. These words in my heart, I have spoken them all to you. Because I know that with your intelligence, you will definitely understand. At the same time, I also want to tell you something … … "
"What is it?"
"You must be very strange … …" Earl Raymond's face was gloomy: "It is reasonable to say that two months ago, when I received the news that you were recognized as Gandorf's disciple, I should have immediately summoned you back to the Imperial Capital. But I stubbornly delayed for so long! Don't you find it strange? "
Du Wei smiled bitterly: "I … … I thought you didn't like me."
Earl Raymond stared blankly, then shook his head: "No, what I want to tell you now is that even now, I am still very unwilling to summon you back! This time, summoning you back to the Imperial Capital was really because I delayed it again and again, pushed it again and again. But the pressure from all sides made me unable to delay it any longer. So I had no choice but to summon you back! Summoning you back was definitely not my intention! "
Du Wei frowned: "But I, although I have the identity of Gandorf's disciple, is this identity so important? Why did it cause so many things?? There are still a few of Gandorf's disciples who are still alive. It doesn't matter if I am one more, it doesn't matter if I am one less. Why did it have to be me who caused so much trouble? "
Earl Raymond suddenly sneered, pointing at Du Wei's magician robe: "It is because of the robe you are wearing!!"
