Du Wei didn't understand why the chief alpha guard suddenly reminded himself in a low voice, as if he had good intentions for himself. The chief bodyguard in my memory is a cold guy. Except for the count, he is always true to everyone.
At the door of the study, Alfa stopped, took a deep look at Dewey, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and then turned away.
Taking a deep breath, Dewey pushed open the door of his study and went in.
The Earl's house in the imperial capital is much smaller than the castle of the Rowling family. It's the same with the study. The collection of books is far less than that of the frightening study in Lorraine castle.
In fact, the study was always used by count Raymond as an important conference room. Count Raymond was a military officer, not a scholar, so he would not be a scholar like those old scholars.
In his study, there are only two rows of bookshelves with some necessary documents. On a large desk, there are some documents of the military headquarters.
This study seems quiet around, there is no sentry, in fact, Dewey knows that this place is almost the most heavily guarded place in the Earl's house!
Hundreds of years of rich and powerful families, the details are naturally different. Like that kind of "three steps, one post, five steps, one sentry", which is called the upstart style, everything is in the light.
In count Raymond's study area, although there was no guard standing around, Dewey knew that count Raymond had some dark forces in his army life. Among them, there are some masters who are raised in private. The reason why alpha is so trusted by the count is that alpha is in charge of this secret power.
On weekdays. No one can enter this study without the count's order. If someone rushes around and doesn't enter the yard, he will know how powerful he is! At that time, Dewey didn't know much about this. Now he's getting older and he's starting to see the way. The courtyard around the study, walls, and even some furnishings in the courtyard wall. As if with a faint magic wave, it is obviously a brilliant magic array. If an outsider intrudes, the magic circle will give a warning immediately, and there are some secret sentries arranged all year round, all of which are the secret forces in count Raymond's hands.
For example, today, if there is no alpha lead, Du Wei a person, are unable to come in!
"There must be some magic prop on alpha. That's why it won't trigger the reaction of the magic circle. " Dewey surmised.
After getting rid of these distractions, Dewey went into his study and saw his father, the head of the modern Rowling family, count Raymond, sitting behind his desk. Holding a quill pen in his hand, his dignified face was covered with a chill, and he frowned, carefully looking at a document in front of him that he didn't know.
Dewey went in quietly and stood in front of him. He didn't speak, just stood up with his hands down, looking honest.
It was not until a long time later that count Raymond seemed to recover. He wrote a few notes on the paper, put down his quill, looked up, and looked at Dewey calmly. His eyes were flat, not happy or angry, as if he didn't have any mood swings about Duwei's return. Du Wei raised his head and looked at his father calmly.
After a while, count Raymond said slowly, "well, you're back."
Dewey took a deep breath. "Yes, I'm back... Father."
Count Raymond's brow was slightly raised, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly. Then the corner of his mouth slowly formed a smile, as if with a trace of ridicule: "Oh... You called my father... Haha! More than ten years. If I remember correctly, is this the first time you have called me "father"
As soon as he said this, even though Dewey had been fully prepared, he could not help but feel a little sour in his heart.
Quietly looking at his father, I can't help but feel a trace of emotion in my heart.
He... Seems to be a lot older.
Count Raymond is 49 years old. He is not much older than alpha's bodyguard, but he looks much older than alpha! You know, count Raymond, as the head of the Rowling family and the origin of the Wuxun family, has a lot of martial arts skills! It can also be called the strong one in the Imperial Army! The unique skills of the Rowling family are naturally unusual.
But count Raymond is still old. Old even a little tired.
In the case of Gao Dawei, he returned triumphantly from the sea. Now he is less than 50 years old and his eyes are wrinkled. Although he is still powerful, his old age can not be concealed.
Even sitting there, the body did not seem as straight as before, but a little tired leaning on the chair.
As if aware of his son's absence, count Raymond coughed softly and brought back Dewey's wandering mind.
The count slowly rose from his chair. He was wearing a pure white cotton robe, which was a habit he had developed in the army. It was simple and comfortable. Unlike other aristocrats, this imperial meritorious general did not like fancy clothes, but preferred clean and simple clothes.
He walked slowly around the table and came to diduville. He stood in front of him and looked at him quietly and condescensively. Du Weiyi was also at a loss for a moment, and he didn't know what his father was going to do. For a long time, Dewey was covered by this kind of dignified eyes. He was very careful to restrain his whole body's spirit and edge. He stood down honestly and didn't even look up to contact his father's eyes“ You're... A little older. " Suddenly, the count sighed slowly, and his dignified voice softened: "when you left home last year, you only reached my chest, but now you have reached my shoulder!" Dewey could not help shivering when he heard this... Was he standing so close to me just to see my size? At the moment, the identity of general and patriarch has been completely removed. This is a "typical" behavior of a father! But just as Duwei was moved, another idea came up. It seemed that there were several things in his eyes... The bow and crossbow that came from the military! military! Taking a deep breath, Dewey raised his head and "showed" a shy smile on his face: "yes, father... But I'm still too weak. I don't look as powerful as you... I'm afraid my younger brother will be taller than me in two years." Looking at the "smile" on his son's face, a haze flashed in count Raymond's eyes. He sighed, stretched out his hand, and seemed to want to hug Dewey. However, his hand hesitated in the air, but it turned into an action of clapping on Dewey's shoulder. He patted it twice, and then his hand retracted. Then count Raymond laughed bitterly: "you... Forget it, I don't blame you. You must hate me in your heart Du Wei didn't speak, just stood quietly. Count Raymond shook his head, sighed, walked slowly back to his desk, sat down calmly, and then pointed to a chair in his study: "you can sit down, too. From today on, you have returned to the imperial capital. Your every move represents the Rowling family. I was wrong Admit your mistake? Dewey frowned, not knowing what his father was going to say. Count Raymond looked at Dewey's expression, snorted, then suddenly turned around, took out a delicate crystal wine bottle from the cupboard under his desk, and gently unscrewed the cap. It's obviously a fine wine. Count Raymond had a smile on his face: "well, no matter what you thought of my father in the past, now I just want to have a good talk with you. Because from today on, your first step into the imperial capital... Everything in the future is inevitable! Do you understand? " Two delicate crystal wine glasses filled with red wine. Dewey and count Raymond were holding a glass. The study was a little dull, and both of them seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of tasting wine. They didn't speak first. After a long time, count Raymond flashed a little surprise in his eyes, slowly laughed and said, "I really didn't expect that, my good son! Good son! I've really lost my eye over the years... I'm surprised by your patience and calmness. "“ Since I drove you out of the imperial capital and returned to the Lorraine plain, I have received news of your every move there. " Count Raymond spoke slowly. Dewey was not surprised. As the head of the family, it would be strange to say that he knew nothing about all his actions in the Lorraine plain“ It's only been a year. You've made something amazing. My son... Hum, that football, you can turn a small game into a money making machine, and make those businesses, and that hot air balloon... I know that on your mother's birthday last time, that "dawn goddess's forgiveness" was called... Fireworks, right? It's great. It's amazing. Rowling plain is the fiefdom of our family. Although there is another channel for the family's income, it can bring hundreds of thousands of gold coins of tax to the family every year. But in a year, if you don't take a gold coin from your family, you will earn... Oh, let me see... There are more than 140000 gold coins, right
