The Great Age of Voyage of the Elves

Chapter 56

The next day, when Mu approached Climdry again, the other party no longer wanted to talk to him, and fell into autism and couldn't extricate himself...

But fortunately, Lalu Lasi can complete the next training by himself.

The little guy still has a lot of training to do next, because the reality is different from the game, and the skills cannot be used to their full power once they are mastered, just like when Chenglong first learned to freeze the light beam, the range, power, and freezing speed of the beam are significantly different from the current one.

It still needs a process of continuous practice and gradual proficiency.

Fortunately, the most difficult first step from scratch has already been taken, and it only needs to take time to practice slowly.

For little Lalulas, who was born less than a month ago, she still has plenty of time.

In the gentle and regular practice every day, time passes like water.

In a flash, everyone has been resting in Jiamaitu Port for more than half a month.

In the past ten days, the Cleveland has undergone a round of surprise repairs. The holes on the ship that were previously smashed by solid projectiles have all been repaired, the previously damaged bottom of the ship has also been reinforced twice, and the bow ram has also been replaced with a brand new one.

All this is because they are about to drive to the capital, and in terms of image, neither the ship nor the people can tolerate a little sloppy.

On this day, as the maintenance and repairs of the entire escort fleet were announced to be completed one after another, the Grand Duke's order to sail finally came.

After more than half a month of idleness in the port, they are finally going to set sail again. This is undoubtedly good news for most people, but for Mu, it is a bit of a headache...

Because once he sets sail, he can no longer avoid Lydia's invitation.

On land, he could still sneak out of the dormitory when the maid came to deliver the letter, but at sea, he couldn't jump into the sea when someone came to invite him, right?

So on the first day of the voyage, surrounded by envious and jealous eyes from the whole ship, he was warmly invited to the car of the Duke of Courberle by several maids.

Although he himself refuses in his heart...

However, to his surprise, the first thing he saw on board the ship was not Lydia, who had been giving him all the glances these days, but the Grand Duke Courbeille himself.

In the restaurant on the upper level of the forecastle, the Grand Duke sitting at the long square table greeted him with a smile.

"I didn't expect that there would be descendants of the Eliak family on the escort ship I picked this time, hehe, what a coincidence, the Earl and I are old acquaintances.

However, in the past, I seem to have never heard the earl mention such an excellent heir as you. I heard that your talent in the field of trainers is very impressive. I wonder what is your current line of succession in the family? "

Facing the duke's question, Mu could only reply with an awkward yet polite smile.

"The order of succession should be in double digits, hehe..."

After his fief was taken back, he never paid attention to the succession.

Anyway, it is destined to be at the bottom, so what else can we pay attention to?

The Duke let out a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, that's really regrettable."

Then his expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "Then, would you like to work for me? Depending on the situation, I may even allow you to choose one of my daughters as your partner."

After saying this, Mu himself, who was facing the Duke, didn't react yet, but Lydia, who was standing behind him, suddenly became a little agitated.

Mu Mingming was the potential stock she was optimistic about first, but now she has become a good son-in-law that the Duke can easily recruit, and she is no longer the only one who is no longer used to recruit Mu.

In the end, all her efforts to change her fate were understated and wiped out when the Duke turned over with a big hand.

Everyone else said that she was the jewel in the palm of the Duke's family, her background and appearance were one in a million, but only she knew best in her heart that she was still just a marriage tool of the family.

Beauty, knowledge, self-cultivation, these only increase the value of the tool, but never change the essential attributes of the tool.

Over the years, she has made a lot of efforts to change her destined ending, including trying her best to seduce those talented young trainers to be her knights, and trying to find ways to control young talents in the upper class to be her lover.

However, in the eyes of the Duke, all these efforts are nothing more than a little bit of rebellion, and every time he just waved his hand, it would naturally disappear...

Today is no exception.

This couldn't help but make Lydia feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

However, Mu Jie at the dining table knew nothing about the changes behind him. After a brief moment of stupefaction, he asked calmly, "So, what price do I have to pay for this?"

Even as simple as Hellscream knows how to ask Goudan, "Then what's the price?", Mu Ke doesn't believe that the Duke will give him a daughter for nothing.

Sure enough, the Duke quickly smiled.

"You are very smart, young boy of the Eliak family. For this reason, I hope you can permanently give up the inheritance rights of the Eliak family. In the future, when your child and my daughter's child is born, I will give him the title and territory fairly. Even if I pass on the title of duke to my descendants in the future, this promise will still be valid."

After hearing this, Mu couldn't help but feel that it was so.

This can't even be considered a marriage, it's clearly wanting him to be fully married.

Although Mu had been taken back by his father before, in theory he still has the possibility of inheriting the family business. For the nobles in this world, the right of inheritance and the order of succession are sometimes even more important than the size of the temporary fiefdom.

Because the nobles in this world are mostly inherited in the family unit, the patriarch not only enjoys the highest title, but also has absolute power.

Take Eliac's family as an example. Even if the old earl has allocated part of the land to his children, once the owner of the family changes and the new earl takes over, he has the right to take back the land previously confiscated by the old earl in a reasonable and legal manner.

This is different from the ancient times of the previous Celestial Dynasty.

This method of inheritance ensures that the family's territory and power will never be divided more and more, and at the same time, it also makes the order of succession and the right of inheritance the key to the eternal struggle in the big family.

It doesn't matter if Mu doesn't have a fief for a while, if anything happens, he still has a chance to become an earl in one step. Even if the chance is a little slimmer, this theoretical possibility still exists.

But if he voluntarily renounces the right to inherit the family, then there is really no hope.

The condition proposed by the Duke was a bit harsh, so that Mu laughed for a while.

Although I don't care much about family inheritance rights, you can't take advantage of me for nothing.

With such a mentality in mind, he calmly looked directly into the eyes of Grand Duke Kulber, and responded.

"The condition you offered, Grand Duke, does not seem to be very sincere."

Considering the identity gap between the two parties, this sentence is enough to be called arrogance.

However, the Grand Duke was not angry, but confidently threw out another bargaining chip.

"In return, I can introduce you to the Seventh Prince after returning to the capital. His Highness is about to ascend the throne, and now he is desperately looking for young talents like you."

The Grand Duke Culber is full of confidence, and seems to have decided that this bargaining chip must be something that Mu cannot refuse.

however--

Then he saw Mu Zai looking at him with innocent eyes, which were filled with bewilderment.

It's a pity that since the beginning of the journey, Mu has never paid attention to the power struggle and royal power within the kingdom, and all his eyes have been cast on the vast and boundless sea.

So it's a pity that he doesn't even know who the Seventh Prince is...

At this moment, the Grand Duke was astonished, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was stunned unexpectedly.

This is, very embarrassing...
