"Wesley, tell me and your second grandfather in detail about how you found the clues to the treasure."
The Duke of Wellington ordered.
Wesley swallowed involuntarily, nodded, and said, “Yes, great grandfather.
You also know that Uncle Mars has been looking for information about the Black-Eyed King's treasure for the family for many years, but the information he got before was all false. After so many years, we have found nothing.
But only this time, the information we got was true. We found clues to the Black Eyed King’s treasure near the Emerald City…”
Wesley told Wellington and Evans in detail how he found the treasure.
In his narration, he also highlighted Ye Li's contribution and did not pull the credit onto himself and others.
"… So, the clues to the Black Eyed King's treasure should all be revealed now, and Ye Li has obtained one of the keys."
Wesley came to the end and concluded with a sentence.
After hearing this, Wellington and Evans both had strange looks in their eyes.
Evans seemed to recall the previous dispute with Wellington, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That's not right. What on earth is this Black Eyed King trying to do by making such a big fuss?"
Wellington nodded and said, "The Black Eye King was an enemy of the whole world back then. Now he has left behind such a treasure, which is clearly intended to attract everyone under the gestational age to explore. I don't believe he would be so generous and kind."
In fact, Ye Li also noticed this and found it a bit strange.
Evans thought for a moment and said, “Wesley said that they can’t find the clue to this puzzle, but it’s because of this little brother… Ye Li… Right, it’s because of Ye Li’s ancestral information that it can be solved. In other words, according to what the Black Eye King thought, this treasure might be left to the descendants of the Black Eye Clan.
After all, at that time, the few Black-Eyed Tribe members on the continent were all loyal to the Black-Eyed King. It was not until the death of the Black-Eyed King that the hatred between the two sides gradually disappeared. We no longer hate the Black-Eyed Tribe, and the Black-Eyed Tribe is no longer hostile to us.
That is to say, when the Black-Eyed King left behind the treasure, he probably never thought that the Black-Eyed Tribe would merge with us, and therefore never thought that the secret of the treasure would be known to people outside the Black-Eyed Tribe.
He may have left some clues to the Black Eyed people whom he trusted at the time. These people are Ye Li’s ancestors, and they finally passed on the key to unlocking the secret of the treasure to this day. "Wellington glanced at him and said, "You mean to say that the Black Eyed King didn't actually show off his treasure clues in a big way, but only left the clues to the treasure to the Black Eyed people
According to his idea, only the Black Eyed Tribe knows about the treasure, and only the Black Eyed Tribe can unlock the secret of the treasure?"
Evans nodded and said, "I guess that's the case. Didn't Wesley just say that when the key appeared in the clue area, he didn't hesitate and flew directly to Ye Li.
I guess this key can only be obtained by people with Black Eye bloodline, and no one else can inherit it."
After hearing this, Wellington felt that what Evans said made sense. After thinking for a while, he said, "Perhaps the final treasure trove must be opened and fought for by the Black Eyed Tribe."
As he spoke, Wellington turned his gaze to Ye Li.
The moment Ye Li's eyes met Wellington's, his heart was shocked. The other's gaze made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He had come into contact with many important figures in the past, but none of them had the vision of the Duke of Wellington.
He felt that the way the Duke of Wellington looked at him just now was as if he was looking at a tool or an object.
In other words, in the eyes of the Duke of Wellington, Ye Li is just a tool, and his current role is to help them find the treasure of the Black-Eyed King.
"Your name is Ye Li, right?"
asked the Duke of Wellington.
Although Ye Li felt a little disgusted by the other person's look, he still answered truthfully: "Yes, Duke of Wellington."
Wellington nodded and said, "At such a young age, your cultivation has already reached the late stage of the fetal stage. Your potential is quite amazing. If you continue to practice, you may be able to enter the Divine Phase stage.
My Yaxi family wants to cultivate you vigorously, of course, the premise is that you must swear allegiance to my Yaxi family and completely submit to us."
Hearing his words, Ye Li shook his head without hesitation and said, "I have told Baron Mars that I am only in an employment relationship with your Yaxi Family. I work for you, but I have to accept remuneration, and I am free to leave at any time."
Ye Li had actually already inquired about this condition a long time ago. In the Continent of Miracles, there were many such people in each family, and they were called family guests.
They are capable people who are hired by the family to serve the family.
Ye Li wants to play this role now and doesn’t want the other party to spend energy training him because he will leave the Miracle Continent sooner or later.
Hearing Ye Li's answer, Wellington's pupils shrank and he said, "You just want to become a guest of the family
You have to think carefully. The resources obtained as a guest of the family are very limited, and the speed of your cultivation will definitely be slowed down.
You are able to practice quickly now, showing a very strong talent, but once you get insufficient resources in the future and your practice speed slows down, you will miss the best time to practice at each stage, and it will be difficult to climb up again."
Ye Li nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, I have my own plans in mind. Anyway, I just want to become a guest of the family.
And I think, with my current conditions, becoming a guest member of the family should not be a problem."
Hearing Ye Li's question, Wellington was silent for a moment and said: "It's not a problem, you are quite strong, and now you have a wooden key.
Of course, this wooden key was obtained from Mars' intelligence, so it belongs to our Yaxi family. Before this wooden key is used, you will not be free. Do you agree?"
As Wellington spoke, a hint of coldness inadvertently appeared in his eyes.
Ye Li knew what the other party meant. After all, this wooden key represented a part of the Black-Eyed King’s treasure, and the Yaxi family would never let him leave.
Ye Li had no objection to this. On the one hand, he also wanted to see what the Black-Eyed King's treasure was. On the other hand, he wanted to stay in the Yaxi family and find out some information about how to go to the southwest waters and find a way back.
"Well, Lord Duke of Wellington, I agree with you. Until the Wooden Key opens the treasure of the Black-Eyed King, I will never be free again.
But after we open the Black Eyed King's treasure, I will officially become a guest official, how about that? "
Ye Li said.
