Chapter 66
However, at this moment, a man with black clothes and red hair suddenly walked in from the door and said, “I am the owner of this winery, Diluc Legenfund.”
For a moment, everyone fell silent immediately.
After all, the reputation of Lord Diluc is not only well-known in Mond, but many people in Liyue have also heard a little about it.
In the minds of almost all Liyue people, when it comes to the richest people, they will naturally immediately think of Tianquan Star Ningguang in the Liyue Seven Stars, but if they are the second richest people, most people will think of that Di Luke.
However, Diluc just glanced at everyone, and finally set his eyes on Li Xingshan, only to see him walking straight in front of Li Xingshan, and politely said: “Your Excellency should be Mr. Li, right? I don’t know, Can I have lunch with you?”
Man, the richest man in a country invited himself to lunch.
This face to give too much.
Naturally, Li Xingshan did not dare to neglect, he quickly gave up an empty seat and said, “Please take a seat.”
“I’m sorry,” Diluc said lightly, sitting beside Li Xingshan, “I couldn’t go out to greet him because of something at hand.”
“You’re welcome,” Li Xingshan said somewhat flattered: “Master Diluc is busy with business, so it’s normal that he can’t come out.”
“You don’t need to call ‘Master’, it’s too outlandish.” Diluc elegantly cut a piece of steak and asked casually, “Excuse me, is Mr. Li a native of Liyue?”
This sentence seems to be just an ordinary chat, but Li Xingshan didn’t know how to answer for a while, so he could only say: “I am a resident of the village near Liyuegang.”
Diluc narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask, “Are your parents still healthy?”
“They…all died.”
Li Xingshan felt strange for a while, why did he still investigate the household registration?
“That’s such a pity,” Diluc’s red eyes flashed a trace of sadness: “I can understand the pain of my parents’ early death.”
Next, the two chatted a few more casually, but most of the content was related to Li Xingshan’s family history.
Of course, after going through several simulators, Li Xingshan also had some shrewdness. Facing Diluc’s questions, he was able to answer them fluently without leaking any flaws.
Finally, Diluc wiped his lips with a napkin very elegantly, and smiled: “I seem to be a little too full to eat, Mr. Li, can I invite you to visit my manor?”
“It’s an honor.” Li Xingshan didn’t shirk.
Although Di Luke seems to have been inquiring about his own affairs, Li Xingshan has a good impression of this man, not to mention, it is not a bad thing to have such a powerful friend.
The two left the restaurant first, while Fischer, who had been dining not far away, narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
“It’s so suspicious…” Fischer whispered, “Ozzy, did you hear what they were talking about?”
“Miss, it’s too noisy in the room, I can’t hear it very clearly,” Oz replied truthfully, “It’s just that Mr. Diluc seems to have been asking about the situation at Li Xingshan’s house.”
“Why do you ask this?” Fischer’s suspicion grew a little more.
“I heard that in Liyue, there is a tradition of ‘the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker’,” Oz said solemnly: “Maybe Mr. Diluc sees him as a talent, and maybe there are any female relatives who want to introduce him to him. .”
“That won’t work,” Fischer clenched his cup tightly, frowning and said, “Ashan, but this princess’ family, no one wants to take him away!”
…………
On the other side, Li Xingshan, led by Diluc, visited the scenery of Dawn Winery.
Whether it is in the game or the information Li Xingshan has received so far, Diluc should be a cold and indifferent young man.
But for some unknown reason, he seemed to be quite friendly to Li Xingshan, whom he met for the first time, as if he was not a stranger who had never met, but a long-lost brother.
The two walked while chatting, but after a while, they passed a large open space, and there were many practice weapons and training equipment around the open space.
Although Li Xingshan is not a martial arts idiot, he is also a cultivator. Seeing such a scene, he is inevitably a little excited: “Is this your training ground?”
“That’s right, my ancestor was influenced by the rebels back then and became a ‘Dawn Knight’,” Diluc nodded and said, “Although I quit the West Wind Knights, I have never let go of my family’s swordsmanship. ”
Only then did Li Xingshan remember that in the simulator, the “ancestor” of Legen Fender was named the Knight of Dawn by himself.
However, that is just the plot in the simulator, and of course it has nothing to do with reality.
“By the way,” Diluc asked along the line, “I don’t know, who is Mr. Li’s ancestor?”
“Our family doesn’t even have a family tree,” Li Xingshan said with a wry smile, “As for the ancestor, I’m afraid he was just a villager in the mountains.”
Diluc did not continue to discuss this topic, but walked to the training ground, picked up a training giant sword, and said, “Mr. Li, since you can be reused by Yuhengxing, you must be good at martial arts. Do you want to? Come and discuss with me?”
Li Xingshan was naturally quite moved by being able to compete with a master like Diluc, so he picked up a training sword and said with a smile, “Then the little brother will be ugly.”
“what?”
Who knows, Diluc frowned slightly and said: “So, what you are good at is swordsmanship?”
“Is there a problem?” Li Xingshan asked.
“It’s nothing, it’s just that I’ve always heard that Liyue’s marksmanship is the best in the Seven Kingdoms, and Mond has very few masters with guns, so I want to experience it,” Diluc showed a somewhat regretful expression on his face. , said: “Since you don’t know how to use spears, then use a sword.”
The second volume of the girl’s precarious killing intent: 155 My richest brother
Only then did Li Xingshan react.
No wonder Diluc seemed to be very concerned about himself from the beginning.
It turned out that I wanted to see Liyue’s marksmanship.
However, when it comes to marksmanship, I have mastered some in the last simulator, but I have always been accustomed to using swords, so I have not used it in reality.
Since Diluc took care of himself so much, it would be somewhat unreasonable to disappoint him.
Thinking of this, Li Xingshan pulled out a long spear in his backhand and said, “It’s not impossible, I have learned a few tricks, if you don’t mind, I can try it.”
“Of course I don’t mind!” Diluc nodded quickly and said, “Please.”
Although this was the first time Li Xingshan used spear techniques in reality, he felt a rather familiar feeling in his heart while holding the flexible spear body.
But after raising his head, Li Xingshan was surprised to find that he actually saw the “death gap” on Diluc’s chest!
I almost forgot, this seems to be a passive skill, and in battle, one’s own movements will also be affected by it, and he will subconsciously attack the opponent’s death gap.
Although what he is holding in his hand is only a blunt training wooden gun, but when his marksmanship is perfected, he can stab someone to death without the head of the gun. Even if he does not accidentally kill Diluc, it will be troublesome if he is injured. .
Seemingly feeling Li Xingshan’s hesitation, the system responded:
[You can choose to temporarily turn off the talent effect in the system]
“Didn’t you tell me earlier?”
【I didn’t ask you when I thought about it】
Li Xingshan didn’t bother to argue with the system, so he hurriedly turned off the effect of [Looking directly at the Devil’s Eye of Death], and he was relieved when the gap of death on Diluc disappeared.
“It’s coming!”
Diluc couldn’t help but want to learn Li Xingshan’s marksmanship, and he rushed over with a giant sword in both hands.
Li Xingshan did not dare to neglect, and immediately shot to meet him.
Although in the simulator, Li Xingshan’s spear skills have reached the realm of transformation, but with his current physical strength and combat experience, he is unable to use such powerful marksmanship.
He can only fight with the [Dueling Marksmanship] rewarded by the system, which is good. The special effect of [Dueling Marksmanship] is that “when there is only one enemy, the attack increases by 50%”, which also enables him to cope with Diluc’s overwhelming swordsmanship.
If this was a life-and-death struggle, Li Xingshan had confidence that he had a 70% chance of winning. Although Diluc had a good strength, he also possessed the eye of God with the element of fire.
But Li Xingshan had a mess of skills and props on his body, like a small mobile arsenal. He was desperately fighting against the original god-level opponent, and basically he would not fall behind.
However, this was just a competition, and Li Xingshan could not use the killing ability of “Death Gap”, so it was difficult to gain any advantage for a while.
On the other hand, Diluc didn’t seem to be using his full strength, but rather was… testing his own moves.
I don’t know if it was because I felt that Li Xingshan’s strength did not meet his expectations, but Di Luke’s eyes seemed to show a hint of disappointment.
This feeling of being looked down upon made Li Xingshan feel unhappy for a while.
Then, beat you.
Let you, the proud son of heaven, also taste the taste of failure!
Li Xingshan didn’t seem to be aware of the evil thoughts gushing out from the depths of his heart, and instantly opened the magic eye that was closed by himself.
The gap of death immediately appeared on Diluc’s chest. Although it was very small, it was clearly visible.
Everyone’s “death gap” is different. Generally speaking, the more afraid of death, the more obvious the death gap will be, and the easier it is to hit – the more afraid of death, the easier it is to show flaw.
Obviously, Diluc is not someone who is afraid of death, but Li Xingshan’s spear head stabbed towards Diluc’s chest as if attracted by a magnet.
And this move did not seem to be within Diluk’s expectations. He was experienced in combat and knew that this move could not be avoided, so he simply did not defend and counterattack, and slashed towards Li Xingshan’s shoulder with a sword.
If the opponent insists on this shot, he will definitely be hit by his own blade.
Unexpectedly, Li Xingshan actually ignored Di Luke’s offensive and insisted on stabbing the gun, only to hear a muffled “bang”, the blade of the giant sword had already hit Li Xingshan’s shoulder, and Li Xingshan’s The head of the gun had already hit Diluc’s chest.
However, at the last moment, Li Xingshan still pulled back his strength in time, otherwise the shot that hit the gap between death would inevitably cause serious injuries even if it didn’t kill him.
Diluc naturally also saw that Li Xingshan had withdrawn his strength in the middle, hurriedly threw away the giant sword, supported Li Xingshan, and said with concern: “Are you alright!”
Although he was using a wooden sword for training, the strength of Diluc’s move just now should not be underestimated. If an ordinary person is hit, it is inevitable that his shoulder blades will shatter.
Who knows, Li Xingshan moved his shoulders and said with a smile, “It’s okay, it’s just a discussion, how could he be injured?”
The reason why Li Xingshan had nothing to do with it was naturally because the effect of [King Kong’s Indestructible Body] offset 90% of the damage. Otherwise, even if he wasn’t injured, it would be enough for him to grin in pain.
After being hit with all his strength, there is nothing at all?
Diluc was surprised.
However, what made him even more strange was that it was Li Xingshan’s treacherous marksmanship just now.
This shot also further confirmed Diluc’s guess.
“It’s fine, I haven’t fought so happily in a long time,” Diluc stretched out a hand towards Li Xingshan and smiled rarely, and said, “I don’t know, are you willing to be my friend? ”
“Aren’t we already friends?” Li Xingshan held Diluc’s hand without hesitation, and said, “In the future, please give me more advice.”
…………
hours later.
After the rest, the convoy is about to set off again. According to the plan, it should be able to reach Mond within today.
And Diluc also specially sent Li Xingshan all the way to the intersection.
“Doing kindness, these are some small gifts I prepared,” Diluc handed a rather delicate box to Li Xingshan and said, “If you encounter any trouble in Mond, you can also report my name. I am in Mond. De, it has a bit of face.”
This sentence is somewhat modest.
“Then I will accept it unceremoniously,” Li Xingshan took the box and said, “Is there any chance for us to meet in the future?”
“Of course,” Diluc nodded and said, “You are me, an important friend.”
After watching the convoy leave, Diluc turned around and entered the winery. He went straight back to the study, and regularly twisted the pen holder on the table, only to hear a “click, click, click” sound, and the next to him. The bookshelves were slowly separated, revealing a secret door.
Vol.2 Girl’s Precarious Killing Intent: 156 Is My Cousin Yula?
Diluc opened the secret door and walked into a secret room.
The secret room is quite spacious, and neatly placed are some antique treasures, weapons and armors that seem to be of great value, as well as some ancient books, secret collections of wine and the like.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing was the row of portraits hanging on the wall.
These are the portraits of the successive generations of the Legenfind family, from the previous generation of the head of the family, that is, Diluc’s father, “Clips Legenfind”, all the way forward, until the second generation after the rise of the Legenfind family. A family owner, the first generation of “Dawn Knight”.
Logically speaking, this should be the first portrait, but one step further, you can see another portrait hidden in the shadows.
Above the portrait is a handsome man with a bit of evil spirit, which is somewhat out of tune with the other portraits.
If Li Xingshan saw this portrait, he would definitely be surprised to the point where his eyeballs fell out. This portrait is the one in the simulator that was taken away by Legen Fender’s ancestors.
It’s no wonder that Diluc has a “weird” attitude towards Li Xingshan, because the man in the portrait looks very similar to him.
No, it’s just the same!
No one in the past generations of the family knew who the man in the portrait was, but only knew that he was the father of the first generation of the Knights of the Morning, and he was good at using spears. As for his life story and who his surname is, it has always been a mystery.
And Li Xingshan’s appearance is not only very similar to this ancestor, but also proficient in spear art, which makes Diluc even more convinced that he and himself have the same ancestor!
Diluc is the only son in the family, and only has a brother-in-law, Kaia, who is not related by blood, and now he is basically a stranger to himself.
He thought he had no relatives in this world. Now that he meets someone who may be in the same blood as his own, it naturally makes him excited.
Although Diluc is the richest man in Mond, he actually has no interest in managing the family business. Compared with doing business, he is more interested in playing the role of a righteous “hero of the dark night” and guarding Mond in the dark.
Therefore, the huge family property is a burden for him, so he has been looking for a suitable successor.
Although it is a good idea to have a child to inherit by himself, Diluc has no interest in the affairs of his children now, and he does not want to waste his time on taking care of the children.
Although the housekeeper Eze is a brother to himself and has outstanding abilities, he is an outsider after all. If he entrusts his family business to a foreign surname, I am afraid that he will be sorry for the ancestors on the wall.
Therefore, Li Xingshan has become the best target, as long as he finds an opportunity to confirm that he is related to himself, and then find a way to let him inherit the surname of Legen Fender.
