The process of the Mujinhua family gaining a foothold in Pine Forest City is a very strange legend. ↖, Auguste-Gulf and his sister were only professionals with a little strength at first, not outstanding, but they can always come up with excellent coping methods when they encounter problems, and even know other people's arrangements in advance, as if they Standing behind them is a prophet, or prophet, who is advising them. In just over three years, they transformed themselves from low-level nobles into powerful families in Pine Forest City, and even became a well-known inspirational legend in the country of Huo Lewen.
The middle-aged fat man stared at Liang Lidong with scrutiny, and said, "I'm Gavin, a branch of the Mu Jinhua family. I just tried it just now, but I didn't expect you to understand our coded gestures. What are you? Who, I have never heard of your name, and there is no such person as Beta in the family annals."
Liang Lidong didn't answer the middle-aged fat man's question directly, he just remained silent for a while, and then asked: "When did you start using this set of gesture codes?"
"I don't know too well. It must have been two or three hundred years ago." The middle-aged fat man's face was very round, but he could read a sense of determination from his expression: "This set of gestures and code words has always been only us. People in the Mujinhua family use it. As long as it is not a person with the surname Gulf, even the old housekeeper who has served in our family for decades is not qualified to learn it. So I am curious, who is your Excellency? The code word of our family's gestures, and the names of Dinah's ancestors."
"Is it strange to know her name?" Liang Lidong asked.
The middle-aged fat man let out a hehe, with a bit of noncommittal in his tone: "Many people know that our ancestor August had a younger sister, and many people know her nickname, but few people know her real name. Your Excellency He called out the ancestor's name as soon as he opened his mouth, and he also knew gesture code words, which made me have some bad associations."
Liang Lidong also laughed, although the other party's tone was not very friendly, but there was not much malice in it: "Bad association, why, suspect that I am a spy or something."
"No! Your hair color, your eyes, and your temperament all show that you are of noble origin. It is impossible for someone like you to be a spy, because you are not ordinary enough and too ostentatious." Middle-aged Fatty Gavin shook his head, and then said in an even weirder way that seemed to come out of his throat: "Although my association is very blasphemous to Dinah's ancestors, I have to think so. I wonder if you Descendants of her... illegitimate child."
Liang Lidong's breath was choked in his throat, and he almost couldn't spit it out. He patted his chest and asked angrily, "Why do you think so?"
"I have to think so." Gavin said as a matter of course: "You are very interested in my family crest, and you asked about the ancestors of Dinah, not the ancestors of August. Can you know about the ancestors of Dinah? The orthodox descendants of us are the only ones... Well, although I am a collateral, I am also of Gulf's blood. You also know gesture codes, besides this possibility, is there anything else?"
"I can only tell you that I am not a descendant of Dinah." Liang Lidong smiled wryly: "I am even more surprised now, why do you use this set of gestures and code words, it is unreasonable."
The fat on Gavin's face trembled slightly, and he said a little angrily, "You mean, we secretly learn your sign language? Don't be kidding, we have used this set of gestures for two to three hundred years, and no one has ever cracked it. But now it appears in your hands, if you are not a spy, then you can only be a descendant of the illegitimate son of Dinah's ancestor."
"Not long ago you said that she never married, so she was nicknamed the Iron Maiden!"
Gavin clicked his tongue: "The Holy Mother of the God of Light is not the same as she was pregnant with a virgin, and gave birth to the holy son Krondo, hehe, this is not a rare thing."
Liang Lidong felt that there was no way to communicate with this guy, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention this matter for now, don't worry about the code words, I won't spread it to the outside world. What I'm more curious about now is that even though you said you are Hibiscus Hua's collateral, but as far as I know, you should be a pioneering member of the family's outward arrangement, and if the Muruo Jinhua family's approach has not changed, it should be so."
Gavin looked at Liang Lidong with even more strange eyes: "You even know this, and you still say that you have nothing to do with our Mu Jinhua family?"
"Think what you want." Liang Lidong felt a little annoyed: "Since you are a core member of the family, do you know if Dinah left anything behind, such as a diary or something like that?"
In the game, Liang Lidong has a very good relationship with the Guerfu brothers and sisters. He knows that Dinah has the habit of keeping a diary. Maybe we can find out why the Mujinhua family understands this gesture.
Gavin's expression became even weirder: "You even know this? I no longer doubt that you are the descendant of the illegitimate son of Dinah's ancestors. Could you be her lover, concubine or something like that?"
Liang Lidong pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty. In a sense, this fat man guessed half of it. He said happily, "So she did keep a diary?"
"Not only are there, but there are many copies." A light flashed in Gavin's eyes: "It's all written in a strange symbol. We tried to decipher it, but we haven't succeeded. Its complexity is more complicated than that of gesture codes." Much more exaggerated."
Liang Lidong thought for a while, mobilized the elements of the fire element to condense into a few symbols around him: "Like this?"
Gavin took a deep breath: "It seems that you and the ancestor Dinah are indeed inextricably linked. Since it involves the ancestor's private affairs, I will not ask, but I hope you can abide by what you just said. If so, don’t spread the coded gestures to outsiders. I personally don’t have any ill feeling towards you, but after all, it involves the safety of the family, and the coded gestures are too important, so I will write a letter to report your matter to the master’s side, specifically It's up to them to decide."
"What if they want to kill me so as to keep the secret of the coded gesture?" Liang Lidong asked.
Gavin sneered, and a chill burst out from his small eyes squeezed by the fat on his face: "Then I can only be your enemy."
For people in this world, family interests are indeed very important. Liang Lidong smiled and said: "You are forcing me to kill you, so as to keep the secret of my ability to sign and code words."
Gavin took two steps back, but there was not much fear on his face. He said, "Since you said it, you shouldn't have any plans to kill me. Although I'm not very strong, I've always been very accurate in judging people."
"Then why are you going back?" Liang Lidong said with a slight sarcasm in his tone.
Gavin said seriously: "It's just a habit. If you are threatened by someone much stronger than yourself, you will probably behave the same as me."
I have to say that what the fat man said made sense. Liang Lidong looked out the window and said, "Report my matter to the master, and tell them that I want the diary left by Dinah. If they are willing Give it to me, and I will tell them a big secret, and this secret may make your power go one step further."
Gavin looked at Liang Lidong for a while, and said, "Okay."

After bidding farewell to Gavin, Liang Lidong went up to the seventh floor. The seventh floor is the top floor, with three rooms and a big magic laboratory. At this time, the laboratory has been vacant for a long time, except for a few tables and chairs, and a large alchemy table, there is nothing else. These furniture were covered with a light layer of dust, Liang Lidong opened a few windows, used his mental power to condense the wind element, turned it into a few breezes, and blown all the dust in the room out of the windows.
Then Joan flew down from the sky, holding a scroll in each of its paws. Liang Lidong put the scroll into his space backpack.
Joan of Arc had been hovering above the castle on standby. Liang Lidong didn't fully trust Uther, if he did something wrong, Joan would use the two scrolls in the air. One is Fireball and the other is Phase Displacement. The fireball technique can create great chaos in an instant, and the latter one can force Liang Lidong to be moved from indoors to outdoors.
There is no need to have the heart of harming others, and the need to be defensive, especially when Uther is put together by Liang Lidong, even if he is more cautious, it is within reason.
Joan of Arc stood on the window sill and moved her claws, because she had been holding the two scrolls for a long time, which made her claws a little stiff.
Liang Lidong looked around in the room, checking every corner that is difficult to see... He knew that there were many small magic circles that operated with little fluctuation in magic power, but had various functions, such as peeping, monitoring, and even It will slowly affect the victim's spirit and character without the victim's knowledge.
At this time, a gentle wave of magic power suddenly erupted from the depths of the castle. In Liang Lidong's perception, it was like ripples on the surface of a lake. Although it was obvious, it was not intense, and there were two A strong and a weak spiritual force. The stronger spiritual force Liang Lidong is quite familiar with is Barbara, and the other spiritual force is somewhat wild.
Liang Lidong yawned: "Babara is a contract magic pet, if it's really a feline... Joan of Arc, then you have met your opponent."
