When Lin Qi woke up in a daze, it was dark outside the window, except for the apple wood burning in the fireplace, emitting warm heat and a thin crackling sound. wWw,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,Com Two large silver-wrapped candles stood on the candlesticks. Only one candle was lit, and the light just illuminated this huge bedroom.
It was indeed huge. This bedroom was fifty times the size of Lin Qi's dormitory at Fifth University. Just the big boat covered with silk and satin that Lin Qi was lying on was bigger than his dormitory at the university. It is surrounded by thick gauze tents, embroidered with delicate rose patterns.
This bedroom originally belonged to Lin Qi's mother. A few years after giving birth to Lin Qi, Lin Qi's mother died of illness due to physical weakness. From then on, this bedroom was occupied by Lin Qi, and all the furniture and furnishings were still the same as when his mother was still alive. From these familiar furnishings, Lin Qi could still find some warm comfort that he could never get from Blackbeard.
After huddled in the thick goose down quilt and feeling dazed for a while, Lin Qi reluctantly got up.
There is a small stove on the bedside table with a cup of hangover soup on it. Frowning, he drank the sobering soup in one gulp. The heat flowed through his body, and the smell of alcohol was quickly dissipated. Lin Qi took a deep breath, and suddenly felt refreshed and full of strength.
Putting on a set of elegant black robes lying beside the bed, Lin Qi walked quickly to the corner of the bedroom on the thick carpet. After quickly tapping on the wall for nearly a hundred times, Lin Qi opened a secret door and walked through a corridor that was only three meters long. In front of it was a huge study room.
It is unimaginable that there can be such a study at the core of the Black Tiger family's main castle. You can imagine that there are granaries, oil depots, and weapons warehouses here, but things like study rooms should have nothing to do with the Black Tiger family. The problem does exist, and this study is surprisingly huge.
There is a circular dome that is nearly twenty meters high, and the diameter of the dome is fifty meters away. Along the surrounding walls are bookshelves lined with dusty books. Some books are made of slate, others are made of lead plates, iron plates, and some are extremely rare, tightly protected by covers made of crystal, and are extremely ancient clay tablets.
The books in this study are not those popular classics on the street. They are all handed down from ancient times and record various things that are almost unbelievable and 'evil theories'. There are several dilapidated clay tablets here. According to the records above, they actually come from the middle and late stages of the legendary Destruction Calendar. They record the story of the 'gods' bringing disasters to destroy the world.
If this kind of clay tablets were accidentally scattered, the church would immediately send out an army to raze the entire Black Tiger family. So these clay tablets are now hidden in this study, protected by a large number of mechanisms and traps.
Carefully avoiding the bookshelves where the clay tablets were stored, Lin Qi walked around several rows of bookshelves and came to the center of the study. A strange magic circle is engraved on the ground here. This magic circle is very different from the multi-pointed star magic circle popular in the Western continent, with a strange, simple and deviant style. Lin Qi stepped onto the magic circle and recited a spell in a low voice. A bright light emerged from the magic circle, and Lin Qi's body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Nearly a hundred meters deep under the main castle, in a spacious secret room, Blackbeard was sitting next to a crystal coffin, quietly looking at the small, thin woman in the coffin, who looked like a dried petal. With black hair and yellow skin, she looks like an Oriental with pure blood. Although life has left her body, she still has a breathtakingly bright color.
Not absolutely beautiful, but gentle and kind, which makes people happy when they see her, and they can't help but feel close to her. This woman is Lin Qi's biological mother, a woman who is generous, gentle, and like a glass of warm water, so that no one will have any ill will toward her.
Lin Qi appeared from the magic circle next to the coffin. He quietly looked at his mother in the coffin for a while. She still had the gentle and amiable face in his memory. Compared with Blackbeard's big, hideous face covered with black hair, it was really a comparison between an angel and a monster.
"My mother was really blind back then, so she would marry you!" After looking at her mother's body in a daze for a while, Lin Qi finally couldn't help but ridicule her father. In front of his mother's coffin, Lin Qi did not use the lingua franca of the Western continent, but the language of the East.
The black-bearded man rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "What's wrong with me? I have a rich net worth, good conduct, courage to do what is right, and justice. Where can I find a good and upright man like me?"...,
Winning his eyes, Blackbeard scolded in fluent Eastern language: "When your grandfather came to the West with a small caravan, he encountered pirates on the sea. If you hadn't kissed me, I would have drawn my sword to help when there was injustice. Where can I find a bastard like you?"
Lin Qi unceremoniously uncovered Blackbeard's scar: "But the pirates who robbed grandpa's caravan seem to be subordinates of our family, right?"
A blow hit Blackbeard's handle. Blackbeard glared at Lin Qi angrily and wisely avoided the topic. As for that incident back then, it was true that the pirates who robbed Lin Qi's grandfather's caravan were subordinates of the Black Tiger family. Blackbeard just happened to be passing by with a group of brothers who had just made a big deal. Suddenly he saw Lin Qi's mother on the deck, and then he rushed to see the righteous man and save the beauty!
Naturally, it is not easy to discuss this kind of old scandal with your son!
Scratching the thick beard on his face, Blackbeard said angrily: "Still thinking about you and Arthur?"
Lin Qi picked up three sticks of light yellow sandalwood from the altar table in front of the crystal coffin, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in the middle of the altar table, then respectfully kowtowed to his mother three times. Standing up and bowing deeply to his mother three times, Lin Qi walked to Blackbeard and said coldly: "Sooner or later, I will kill him!"
Blackbeard scratched his nose in embarrassment, and laughed dryly: "After all, he is the only son of the red-haired ghost who is dad's die-hard ally. The old ghost was unlucky. The berserker fleet that encountered Wudalian Island was killed. As an old brother, I Of course I want to adopt his only son!"
Sighing softly, Blackbeard said solemnly: "After a while, I will send him away and let him inherit his father's territory, what do you think?"
Lin Qi touched his nose and still said in a sinister tone: "Then, pray to the gods not to let him touch me in the future, otherwise I will kill him!"
Seeing that Lin Qi was determined to embarrass Arthur, Blackbeard could only change the topic again.
"Well, your Iron Fist Brotherhood is good, but you want to develop it and are short of money, right?"
Lin Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as gold coins.
He said in surprise: "Dad, do you want to give me activity funds?"
Blackbeard raised his eyes and said with a dry smile: "It's not for free, I want to buy a share!"
Taking out a bank gold check, Blackbeard thrust it into Lin Qi's hand.
