C455 Investigate the Truth
With a creak. . .
The thick wooden door of the study was pushed open, and an old man with gray hair and glasses walked in.
Chu Yun looked up and saw the man's face. He remembered the man's identity. It was the butler of the Duke's Mansion, Mr. Yi Te.
Seeing the troubled look on the man's face, Chu Yun's face was calm as he asked, "Steward Hitte, what happened?"
Steward Hitte showed a bitter smile and gently sighed. He said, "little master, Prince Norton just came here. It was for the Duke. What he means is, if we are willing to hand over the core technology of the Goose Demon Array, he will go to the king and plead for the Duke to not be imprisoned. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yun did not know what was going on, but the memories regarding this matter had already surfaced in his mind.
It turned out that among the three men in charge of White's family, his father and elder brother were no longer here, leaving only Brian White alone.
Among them, Brian White's big brother, Bewitt, was previously appointed by the king as the emperor's son-in-law, and was going to marry the king's youngest daughter, Princess Elyse. Both parties were originally going to hold a wedding last month.
However, unexpectedly, on the night before the wedding, Beit White actually abandoned Princess Elyse and escaped the Highland Kingdom overnight.
Regarding this, Princess Elyse was heartbroken and wanted to commit suicide several times, but luckily she was stopped by someone. The king was even more furious and arrested Duke White on the charges of not teaching his son well and sent him to prison.
Until now, Duke White had been in prison for almost a month and had not been released. Everyone in the Duke's residence was anxious because of this.
The Prince Norton Steward Hitte mentioned was a member of the royal family in the Highland Kingdom. He was also the younger brother of the king. The Gauss Magic Circuit that he asked the Duke's family for was a very important research result of Duke White.
Magic Circuit was an extremely important foundation for a country. In this world, Magic Circuit had a wide range of uses. It could be used to make Formations for the entire city and fortress. It could also be engraved into weapons, vehicles, or various tools.
Different Magic Conducting Arrays had different effects of absorbing magic power, so there was a difference between different Magic Conducting Arrays.
The Gauss Magic Conducting Array that Duke White independently developed was an extremely outstanding Magic Conducting Array. It was widely used in the Highland Kingdom and the surrounding countries.
As the developer, Duke White grasped the core code of the Gauss Magic Circuit. In the future, the overlapping upgrade of the Gauss Magic Circuit could only be done based on this source code.
Every time Duke White developed a new version of the Gust Magic Circuit, he could charge a large amount of usage fees to all users. It was also because of this that Duke White was able to obtain the position of Duke in the Highland Kingdom.
At this moment, Duke White had escaped from the marriage and was imprisoned by the king. Prince Norton could help him, but he needed to ask Duke White for the core technique of the Gauss Magic Circuit.
Chu Yun touched his chin and asked, "What conditions did he give?"
"Prince Norton hopes that we can give him the core code of the Gust Magic Circuit. After he gets it, he will find another direction and continue to develop it. The original Gust Magic Circuit will still belong to White's family. "
Steward Hitte pushed up the glasses on his nose and said slowly.
"Is that so. . . "
Chu Yun smiled and said, "If that is the case, then the conditions he set are not considered harsh. What do you think?"
"I think we can agree to his conditions. "
Steward Hitte had already thought about it. The reason he came to tell Chu Yun about this matter was to inform his family's little master.
It wasn't because he had offended his superiors, but because he didn't care about this little master. It was because Brian White had always been obsessed with the sword. He didn't care about anything else.
Otherwise, Prince Norton wouldn't have invited little master to the Duke's residence to discuss such an important matter, because it was really unnecessary. Little master had never come into contact with these matters before, and he wasn't willing to interfere.
"I think so, the core code. For the White family, although it was important, But the way it earns benefits is mainly by following updates. And this code was created by the Duke himself, in terms of updating abilities. . . In the entire kingdom, no one could compare. . . In that case, even if this code was sent out. . . Prince Norton doesn't have the research and development ability of a duke. "
Steward Hitte spoke slowly, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible. He did not want little master to think that they had made a wrong decision. He then said, "Our family cannot be without an owner for a day. The Duke has been imprisoned for almost a month. Everyone in the house was anxious, and they were all looking forward to the Duke's return. Prince Norton is the younger brother of the king, and the relationship between the two is very close. If he is willing to plead for the Duke, then this matter is guaranteed. "
“. . . ”
After saying that, Chu Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head. "We cannot agree. "
. . . "Why?"
Steward Hitte was surprised by little master's reaction.
In the past, little master never participated in family matters. He only knew how to practice martial arts. Since the Duke's accident, although he was worried, he had never interfered in anything. Why did he suddenly have an idea on such an important matter today?
This was not a good sign.
Steward Hitte's heart tightened. He was about to speak when Chu Yun raised his hand to stop him.
"Don't worry, I am not being unreasonable. "
Chu Yun shook his head and said calmly, "I have some questions. I hope you can think about them. "
. . . "Young master, please speak. "
Steward Hitte thought for a while and finally nodded. He wanted to see what little master was thinking.
"First question, do you think Prince Norton came here for himself, or for the king? Or is he asking us for the core technology of the magic array for himself, or is he asking for it for the king? "
Chu Yun raised his first finger and asked slowly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Steward Hitte frowned. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "Prince Norton is the famous peacemaker in the capital. All those important figures have conflicts in their families. Basically, they will find him to mediate between them, but. . . I have never heard of it before. Prince Norton had asked for something from someone because he was an unaffiliated prince. He doesn't lack money, nor does he lack power. Basically, he has no desires. "
"So, he came to ask for the core technology of the magic array for the king. "
Chu Yun nodded.
"I can't be completely sure. . . "
Steward Hitte hesitated for a second.
"Actually, it is possible because. . . Duke. . . Father has been locked up for such a long time. "
Chu Yun said, "For a peacemaker, the most important thing is whether or not they can make peace with one thing. On the matter of his father, the king had imprisoned him for so long. Obviously, he was very angry, and his anger had not disappeared.
One should know that his father was a duke, and he held a high position in the kingdom. He was an important official of the Highland Kingdom. Although the matter of his elder brother escaping from the marriage had a huge impact, it was not to the extent where the king would keep his father in captivity.
There must be something wrong with the situation. Prince Norton was a good man with long sleeves and had never offended anyone with a high status. Why would he take the initiative to provoke the king for his own selfish desires in order to obtain the core technique of the magic array from us?
If you were Prince Norton, you would plead with the king. If the king asked for your motive, how would you answer? Does Prince Norton really have the guts? "
“. . . ”
Steward Hitte fell into deep thought, then nodded and said, "little master, what you said makes sense. Prince Norton indeed did not dare to do such a thing, but. . . Even if it is confirmed that Prince Norton asked for the core technique of the magic array for the king, what can it do? Why should we refuse? "
"Because father refused. "
Chu Yun said in a deep voice.
"Ah?"
Steward Hitte was surprised when he heard that. He looked at Chu Yun in surprise and said, "Since the Duke was imprisoned, the king forbade anyone from visiting the prison. Little master, how did you meet the Duke? Could it be that you sneaked in. . . "
Chu Yun shook his head and interrupted Steward Hitte's guess. He said, "I did not see my father during this period of time, but I know that my father must have rejected this. Otherwise, the king could have gotten the core technology of the magic array in the prison. Why did he ask Prince Norton to come to us?
This is also the main reason why I decided to reject Prince Norton. Because. . .
His father didn't agree.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, You should know that his father should actually agree. He is not a person who does not care about anything. If the king wants the core Formation of our family. . . Big brother did that kind of wrong again, even if it is to compensate the king and Princess Elyse. It is not difficult for us to take out the core technique of the magic array. At least father would agree.
But. . .
Even though he was in prison, facing imprisonment, he still refused.
I don't know what is hidden behind this, but we should believe in the decision made by my father. At least, before I figure out the situation, I can't hand over the core technology of the Formation. "
“. . . ”
His words were full of meaning. Steward Hitte was stunned for a moment.
Before this, he had always thought that little master was a simple-minded and well-developed brute, but today's words had refreshed Steward Hitte's understanding of little master.
This was because Chu Yun's deduction could indeed be said to have taken a different path and found a strong point of support as his argument. Because our father doesn't agree, we can't agree.
Based on Steward Hitte's understanding of the Duke, Gauss Duke White was not someone who would not agree to anything. On the contrary, he was a good person with high EQ and was good at thinking in his shoes.
The day before the wedding, young master Berte ran away from the marriage and abandoned Princess Elyse. He did such an outrageous thing and caused Princess Elyse to want to commit suicide several times. As the father of young master Berte, Duke White had the responsibility and obligation to make some compensation to Princess Elyse and the royal family.
But. . .
Even though Duke White was in prison, he still refused.
There must be something hidden behind this!
"little master, you are right. I'll go and reply to Duke Norton and say that we need to think about it. "
Steward Hitte bowed to Chu Yun, then immediately turned around and left.
Chu Yun nodded and looked at the back of the other party as he left. His heart sank into contemplation.
His reasoning was based on Brian White's memory. At the same time, it was also based on some factors outside of the arena. That was what Daisy had once said to him.
"This sword is called Chen Guang. It is the sword of a Sword God from Xingguang Great Continent. When the Devil Clan invaded, there were many kingdoms in the Southern Continent. It was led by this Sword God to resist the Devil Clan. Later. . . The Sword God died in Devil God Emperor's hands, and his sword became Devil God Emperor's spoils of war. It was kept in the Devil Palace because I came from the Northern Continent. Thus, I don't have much interaction with this Sword God.
I only know that this Sword God's name is Brian White. He was once a duke family from a small country in the Southern Continent. Later on, that family was destroyed, and Brian White was alone with his family's Sun Light Sword. He wandered around the continent and rose up in adversity. He became stronger and stronger, and eventually became a Sword God whose name shook the continent. "
This was what Daisy had said at that time. She had specifically pointed out that Brian White only wandered around the continent after his family was destroyed, and not after the country was destroyed.
In other words, in the future, White's family, which was also a duke's family, would be completely destroyed. Because of this, Brian White would become a wanderer.
Since Shikong Divine Hall had sent Chu Yun to the time before White's family was destroyed, it also happened to be a critical time for White's family to experience such an important storm.
In that case, Chu Yun had enough reason to suspect that this was the reason why White's family was destroyed!
And according to the original history, how would the story develop?
Brian White did not care about what happened outside the window. He only wanted to become a Sword God and never interfered in family matters. He definitely agreed with the old butler wanting to use core techniques to exchange for the duke.
In other words. . .
The matter of White family handing over the core technique of the magic array caused White family to be destroyed later on!
Since Chu Yun already knew this, he naturally wouldn't agree.
And this wasn't because Chu Yun had any feelings for this family that had just transmigrated. It was because Chu Yun had transmigrated here to change the history of the past. In that case, he naturally had to draw a clear line between the past and the past.
Not long after the old butler turned around and left, a familiar system notification sounded in Chu Yun's mind.0
The process of the world has changed.
