"I always feel like there's something wrong with how you deal with it."
Curtis commented.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the original owner is a minor over fifteen years old. It is normal for boys of this age to have unstable temperaments. Adults will only regard it as coquettish behavior. I just took this opportunity to find out the situation of this family. "
Li Yi was discussing with Curtis as he walked.
After coming out of Fran Town, he could clearly feel that someone had been secretly watching him.
It was obvious who it was, and she didn't care.
The two parties are not on the same side, so it is inevitable that they will not trust him.
Moreover, the military advisor knew him so well, which fully demonstrated that even if he entered Maple Leaf County, he would not be able to escape this kind of surveillance.
So he simply pretended that he didn't see it, and deliberately showed a "big change in temperament" so that the other party could see it.
This is actually easy to understand.
Didn’t your military advisor suspect that I was possessed by a demon?
Then I'll just confirm this and let you rest assured!
And he has Curtis with him, so even if he doesn't have to pay attention deliberately, he can immediately know where the surveillance eyes are coming from.
After all, Curtis is also a system creature.
Although it is not as huge as the game system.
But it is really not difficult to deceive one or two "components" in the system.
At this time Curtis suddenly said something.
"Huh? That surveillance gaze has disappeared!"
"oh?"
Li Yi paused slightly and subconsciously looked around.
Not looking for the monitor, but observing the surrounding environment.
"This seems to be Tingxuan Pavilion...well, it is the residence where the family lives. There is no forbidden place, so the watcher is not an outsider, but is always there..."
"Isn't this what you expected? How about it? Do you need me to find him?"
Curtis looked gearing up.
You must know that she is extremely aggrieved in this copy.
Even if you exchange a few words with the host, you are worried about being discovered directly.
So much so that he could only remain silent for a long time to avoid exposure.
And in this Maple Leaf County, it can be said that in this dungeon, he is the only relatively free area!
The reason is that this is actually the place where the legendary possessed demons descend the most!
Of course, only people from the Sulota family knew about this rumor.
Everyone in the family knows this biggest secret, and if anyone dares to leak it.
Then whether it is the leaker or the person who knows the secret, they will face an endless pursuit.
Until all outsiders who know about it are killed.
I don't know why, but the original owner didn't leave any memory of his own to Li Yi.
But only this secret remained.
And it was so strong that Curtis made a judgment at that time.
This should be the safest area in the entire Purgatory copy.
This security is not just for the host.
The same is true for him who is of one mind.
Here, he can communicate with the host safely and boldly without worrying about his existence being discovered by the game system.
"Isn't this normal? I'm afraid no one would dare to spy on the most powerful few people in the kingdom here, right?"
Li Yi joked with a smile. Just as he was about to bypass Tingxuan Pavilion and go to his residence, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Because he found that suddenly there was someone standing in front of him and staring at him.
It was a man who had completely disappeared into the shadows.
Neither his original appearance nor his existence can be seen.
Li Yi couldn't even find the breath of a living person in this "person"!
To put it simply, this figure does not look like a living person at all.
If there is anything that proves that this is a living person, it is probably that he can talk.
"The master is looking for you."
The voice was very cold, without any emotion at all, and Li Yi could even feel a bone-deep chill spreading through the figure.
He didn't say much about this, he just nodded slightly and said something.
"Lead the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure suddenly started to move. It moved forward slightly at first, then paused when it saw that Li Yi didn't follow him, and finally continued to move after seeing that he had followed him.
However, the figure didn't know that while he was leading the way, the young man he had grown up with was having a heated discussion about his origins with a creature from an unknown time and space that did not belong to the universe.
And Curtis is obviously very interested in this kind of creature between entity and shadow.
"What the hell is this thing?"
\"I don't know, but I think you'd better be careful. He seems to be a creature between entity and shadow, somewhat similar to you. Aren't you afraid that he will find you?"
Li Yi reminded.
"Just discover it if you find it. This is a safe zone anyway. No one can do anything to me except the game system."
Curtis looked nonchalant, then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly corrected it.
"Except you."
Li Yi didn't care about his gaffe and continued.
"I don't have much impression of this guy. I just know that he seems to have been at home for a long time. He has been there since the original owner could remember. He has always been my father's shadow guard."
"It's just like the name! This guy really looks like a shadow!"
Not sure whether it was because he had regained his freedom or because he had found his kind, Curtis seemed very excited.
The two of them chatted all the way, and soon followed the shadow to a pavilion.
This is a very elegant pavilion. The exquisite sculptures carved on top show that a lot of effort was put into it by the craftsmen.
And this pavilion named Tingyuxuan has another wonderful feature.
"Here you come? Sit down!"
The middle-aged man in the pavilion did not raise his head, but looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, taking a sip of freshly brewed tea from time to time.
It can be seen that when they arrived, the shadow happened to appear behind the middle-aged man, and replaced the already cold tea with a cup of hot tea in a very incredible way.
Just as the man's hand reached over to pick up the tea cup, this series of actions was completed.
The whole process went smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
However, this is just the most common daily behavior.
"Damn it, I doubt this thing is a creature at all, or at least not now! After all, I still feel a trace of the same kind of breath in him."
cried Curtis.
Li Yi didn't have time to pay attention to him. He only put on the front part and saluted the middle-aged man.
"Father, I'm back."
"I heard that you have experienced a lot of things outside?"
Li Yi continued to bow his head and hand over his hand.
"Mr. Father is worried."
"Did you know that my position will be passed to you in one year?"
"The kid knows."
"Hey, it's good to know. Do you know why I didn't choose your eldest brother but you?"
Li Yi hesitated for a while after hearing this, not knowing how to answer.
"Um?"
The man's tone increased a little, which immediately made the already somewhat solemn atmosphere become even colder.
"Is it because of my talent?"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yi thought of the most likely answer.
Hearing this, the man who would make the entire continent tremble when he stomped his feet on the continent of Flotte sneered.
"Hmph! Talent? What is that? Unless you are the chosen one, how can you talk about talent?"
This sentence immediately brought the atmosphere of the scene to freezing point.
Generally speaking, when this kind of dialogue occurs between father and son, the next step is the reprimanding session from the father.
For example, scolding his son for getting into trouble and being useless...
But Li Yi didn't hear these words.
On the contrary, the other party just sighed and his tone became more relaxed, as if he felt that he was too harsh just now.
"The head of a big family does not necessarily have to be an extremely talented person. Such a person will play a great role in the founding of the family, and may even lead a family to its peak. However, this does not mean that Shoucheng is also a suitable candidate."
After a pause, Dante took a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea and continued.
"That's how I was back then. Compared with other brothers, I wasn't the most talented, my mind wasn't the most flexible, and I wasn't as decisive and sharp as many others. I wasn't even as good at grasping the psychology of my elders. The one who is best at it, all those uncles and uncles of yours back then, are all stronger than me."
As if recalling those days, the current head of the Surota family had a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
But then the conversation changed.
"But I have one advantage that none of them have, and it's also the advantage that I value most, so I finally chose you."
Li Yi actually wanted to ask what it was, but he knew not to ask.
It feels like the other person is having a conversation, so it would be very rude to interrupt at this time.
