Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie, who was sitting across from him with a relaxed smile, and felt a little angry and a little amused.
"I said... Leslie, didn't you claim that you wanted to go back and fight for the family inheritance and control the entire Stark family? What happened? How come you are kicked out of the house now?"
"No, no, no, you have to understand one thing. It was 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 me wrong."
Xu Yi smiled and said: "What's the difference? In short, the result is that you are now forced to leave the Stark family, and you can't even stay in the Lampali Kingdom anymore, so you can only come to me. I said, Si Does Duke Tucker want to be so cruel to you? You are also his biological son."
"For a noble like my father, a biological son is not as important as you think."
Son Leslie... Well, while 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 emotion on Leslie's face, but she looked extremely relaxed. It seemed that being kicked out of the house by her father was actually a happy thing. "Of course it's worth being happy about." Leslie smiled and said: "Staying in that home, I had to breathe the suffocating air every day and watch a group of people headed by my father...Chang Feng...ne deliberately plotting everything. Looking at other people, I have been very tired of it a long time ago. I originally wanted to try hard to change this family, but my father obviously saw through my thoughts and did not give me this chance. "
"Then you don't feel disappointed either?" Xu Yi was a little confused. "Now you are kicked out. Doesn't it mean that there will be no chance to change the entire Stark family in the future?"
"If there's no chance, there's no chance." Leslie shrugged. "My father and those in the family have 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 okay, because in the end I am still a member of the Stark family. As long as I As long as I am alive, this family will still exist. As for what will happen to my father and the others, that is none of my business."
Xu Yi frowned and looked at Leslie, and suddenly remembered some history books he had read on Earth before, which said that in history, many big families wanted to avoid the destruction of the entire family because of a single choice. The children of the clan often choose different lords to support. In this way, even if one party is defeated, one party can always survive, thereby having the opportunity to continue to develop and grow the family, or at the worst, continue the family's bloodline.
Duke Stark has now kicked Leslie out of the house. Although this is because Leslie's political opinions are completely inconsistent with the political opinions he and the entire Stark family currently uphold, he may also have this aspect in mind. .
However, Xu Yi couldn't ask this question. After thinking about it, he asked: "Well, now you can't survive in the Lampali Kingdom. Come to me, could it be that you want to be here? Looking for something to do?"
"Yes. I have always been interested in the magic machinery you research. In addition, I also heard that your Chamber of Commerce has recently developed a good thing. I will come over to take a look." Leslie replied.
"What do you like?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"If you calculated the time correctly, you told Hainas last time that that thing will be launched into the sea today. Come on, take me to see it." Leslie got up and walked out of the door.
Xu Yi was startled: "So you fancy it?"
After casting a puzzled look at Leslie's back, Xu Yi shook his head and stood up to follow.
Just as he walked out of the door, a small figure staggered over, rushed towards Xu Yi, and hugged his leg.
"Dad...Dad...hug..."
Xu Yi leaned down, opened his arms, picked up Freya, and kissed her hard on the little face.
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 the manor every day.
Xu Yi likes to play with her on the lawn of the manor whenever he has free time, so even though Xu Yi doesn't actually spend much time with her, it makes her very close to Xu Yi.
Being pricked by Xu Yi's beard, Freya let out a series of crisp but milky laughter.
Seeing Xu Yi teasing Freya, Leslie took out a red crystal jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.
"Come on, Freya, take it. Uncle Leslie left home in a hurry 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 was no need to be so polite. Xu Yi said nothing and allowed Leslie to put this crystal jade pendant, which was worth a lot at first glance, into Freya's little hand. 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 it is because you still refuse to get married, right?"
Leslie's expression changed, she glanced at Xu Yi, and snorted: "What? Now that you are married and have a daughter, are you going to rush me like those annoying guys?"
Xu Yi shrugged: "I'm too lazy to rush you, this is your private matter. I just think that Duke Stark must hope that you can strengthen the bloodline of the Stark family. If you bring a girl back now, he will Be happy, maybe you will return to the family."
"I'm not a stallion who's only responsible for giving birth." Leslie snorted. "And as I said just now, I chose to leave on my own, not because I was kicked out by him. There is a difference."
Xu Yi just thought he was being arrogant, shook his head but said no more. Seeing that Freya was leaning on him and refused to get off, he told Liz, who had been following Freya today, to tell her to get the magic car. He drove up, got into the magic car with Leslie, and drove towards the pier on the coast below the cliff of the manor.
This wharf has been expanded compared to when the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce first came to the Principality of Standing to open the Xinfei Farm, from the previous three wharves to the current seven wharves.
In addition to the port terminal, a shipyard with an area of 100,000 square meters was built not far away.
There are hundreds of boats, large and small, parked on the coast near the dock.
Except for a few wooden ships, the rest are magic ships of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, these magic ships also come in large and small sizes. The smaller ones can only carry 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 can accommodate more than a dozen people or carry some cargo.
Xu Yi hugged Freya and got out of the magic car, pointed to the magic ships parked on the sea in front of him, and asked Leslie who got off the car on the other side: "Are you here for them?"
"Of course not." Leslie shook his head, glanced at Xu Yi, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, Xu Yi, Hainas has told me all the news, so don't hide it like it's a secret. Tell me quickly, when will the launching ceremony of your new magic ship begin? I can't wait to see it."
"Hainas is really unreliable." Xu Yi rolled his eyes, handed Freya over to Liz, and walked towards the dock in the distance.
At this time, a group of people wearing new uniforms were busy in the dock, seeming to be arranging something.
Seeing Xu Yi coming, Kennard, who was in charge of command and dispatch at the scene, immediately came over to greet him.
"President, we are all ready and waiting for you to announce the start."
After speaking, Kennard nodded to Leslie who was parked some distance behind.
Both of them came from a large noble family in the city of Anvilmar, so they naturally knew each other.
Through Xu Yi's relationship, the two are now even more familiar with each other.
Xu Yi looked at the timer placed next to him and found that the scheduled time was very close, so he nodded: "Okay, since everything is ready, let's get started."
Kennard responded and left to make the final explanation.
After a while, a waterway in the dock leading to the endless sea was opened. As the door slowly opened, a pointed bow slowly sailed out from the covered dock. After a while, the entire figure was revealed. All bathed in sunlight.
Looking up, Leslie couldn't help but take a breath.
Although he knew from Hainas 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. When the entire magic ship is exposed, it can be seen that it is more than fifty meters long from front to back.
Although due to the angle, Leslie was not able to see how wide this magic ship was, but judging from its appearance, the width would probably reach an astonishing twenty meters!
Ever since he set his future goals, Leslie had improved his knowledge of ships. He knew that in the history of Sainz continent, there had never been such a huge ship.
What is even more surprising and even incredible is that this magic ship is actually made of steel from top to bottom!
Such a huge magic ship is made entirely of steel, and its weight can be imagined.
And such a terrifying weight can actually float smoothly on the water at this time, which simply subverts Leslie's common sense.
Looking at the thick steel armor on the outside of this magic ship, Leslie couldn't help but marvel.
Such a magic ship is simply like a steel fortress that can move freely on the sea.
If you drive such a magic ship on the sea, you will definitely be invincible!
