"The master asked me to come see you, young master."
Tian still looked respectful. It seemed that in the limited memory of the original owner, the housekeeper who had devoted his whole life to the Sulota family had always looked like this.
Li Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Oh? So I'm still your young master?"
Tian's expression did not change.
"The young master is joking. You clearly know that it was all arranged by the master. Besides, don't you also know it well?"
"I know, I know. Shouldn't I say something in advance about such a big thing? Do you know how passive I am? You also know what happened that night, right? I almost died!"
Tian still looked expressionless.
"But as far as I know, young master, you used your tricks and almost put two masters of the family into dire straits, but you took away a lot of benefits."
Li Yi:...Well, it turns out you even know this.
Although he was exposed, Li Yi was also shameless and still pretended to be angry on the surface.
"Don't quibble with me here, I tell you, it's useless! This time you all have to..."
"I know who the young master is, so he sent me here."
Tian An couldn't wait for Li Yi to attack first, so he interrupted him directly.
"You should really want the master's collection, right?"
"...?"
Li Yi was startled, he really didn't mean that.
At least in Jace's remaining memory, he didn't know what treasures the Dante family had.
It's worth remembering for your son.
Tian continued.
"When the old master was still a young master, he once traveled like a young master. But unlike the young master, he went there for many years. It was not until the old master was about to die that he hurried back after getting the news. Young Master, you know that the old master Where have you been?"
Li Yi stared at him, waiting for the next step.
"No one knew where the master went at that time. It was nearly eight years since he left. All they know is that after he came back, he went directly to see the master before his death..."
"Then the will came and made the master the head of the family!"
oh? Is there such a thing?
Not to mention Li Yi, even Jace didn't know about this.
What Tian said next gave Li Yi a feeling of déjà vu.
"Actually, the master was not the most capable among his brothers back then. Compared to his brothers, the master seemed very mediocre."
Speaking of this, Tian An glanced at Li Yi subconsciously.
"In short, according to the current situation, it is unlikely that the old master will pass the position of the head of the family to Master Dante. The news from the family at that time said that the next head of the family should be the eldest brother of the old man."
Big brother?
For some reason, an old and decaying figure suddenly appeared in Li Yi's mind.
Jess still remembered that this old man had lived in the ancestral house for a long time. During his childhood, Jess had met this unknown old man many times.
According to the situation at that time, no one should be allowed to live in the ancestral house permanently, even members of the Sulota family.
The old man was an exception.
Of course, this is all in the past.
After the old man disappeared a few years ago, Jace once asked and said that the man had died of old age.
In short, this is a family drama of seizing the heir apparent.
The only difference from the protagonists of previous stories is that this time, Jace's father, Count Dante, is the winner.
Do you mean to tell me that the Sulota family will be handed over to me in the future?
hehe……
The real Jace might also be interested in this offer.
But Li Yi was just here to make a copy, so he naturally knew that all these were just a series of data sources, so he naturally wouldn't cause any trouble because of this proposal.
In comparison, he wanted to know where Count Dante traveled back then.
And there is.
What a treasure!
This is what interests him most.
Of course, you still have to pretend to be nonchalant on the surface.
Because this is Jace's character.
Tian then continued.
"Master, you did a great job. I am very satisfied, otherwise he would not have taken out the treasure and given it to you so early."
"I'm not interested in that collection. Get out of the way! I'm going to see my mother."
Li Yi pretended to be indignant and tried to push Tian away.
In fact, he knew it very well.
Count Dante sent Tian here because he had made up his mind. Even if he refused, it would be of no use.
If you want to do something, you must do it.
This is what Jace knows best about his father, the head of the family.
Sure enough, Tian An didn't move at all, but instantly grabbed Li Yi's hand.
"Since the young master is unwilling, then I can only say sorry."
It was only then that Li Yi finally understood that the housekeeper Tian was also a person with powerful characteristics!
Not only is his strength amazing, his speed is not slow at all.
Under Li Yi's "futile" resistance, he was soon dragged to a secluded place in the backyard.
Then he lightly pressed on a green brick on the courtyard wall, and there was a sound of a mechanism turning.
What appeared in front of Li Yi was an underground passage with stairs.
"What... is this place? Why is there such a mechanism in the backyard?"
Li Yi was "surprised" and stared at Tian.
"You will find out when you go down."
"This is the place where past family heads have collected magic weapons. Only past family heads can enter it. If anyone else wants to enter, it will be a death sentence."
Hearing this, Li Yi "calmed down" and looked at Tian.
"So you can't go in either?"
"That's natural."
"But you can definitely follow me in... assuming that I am the head of this family for generations..."
Tian shook his head.
"That's impossible. Go through the passage. The door at the end only allows one person to pass through at a time. The door will open automatically after you pass. Of course, if you force me to go in with you, then I will have to die with you. "
"Huh? So this is a flag that if one person enters, nothing will happen, but one more person will die? Okay, then I'll just go down by myself."
Regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, after saying this, Li Yi walked towards the underground passage.
Before walking a few steps, I heard Tian's voice.
"By the way, Master, I have to remind you that you can take out the items here, but the weight cannot exceed ten kilograms."
Li Yi didn't look back.
“What happens if it exceeds?”
"It's the same thing as going in with two people."
"Oh, death if you exceed it, right? Okay, I get it."
However, just after pushing open the heavy door, Li Yi regretted agreeing too early.
For no other reason than that, he just wanted to say "Fuck" at this moment.
It's great that you said I can carry things, but are any of these things weighing less than ten kilograms?
You're cheating on your son!
Looking at the dazzling array of large-scale props and weapons in the underground space, Li Yi felt dumbfounded.
Fortunately, Curtis reminded him at this time.
"Huh? It seems like these things can be installed in the system space!"
"What?"
Li Yi was startled, then picked up a weapon weighing more than ten kilograms and tried to put the weapon into the system space, but was told that it failed.
Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he heard Curtis say something.
"Props and props, oh, they are magic weapons. Weapons cannot be taken, but these props seem to be produced from game copies."
"Oh? Do you know him?"
As he spoke, Li Yi casually lifted a mirror placed in front of him that looked ordinary but actually weighed dozens of kilograms.
Mirror?
No matter how you look at this place, it looks like an arsenal and a prop collection room.
This mirror is...
The next moment, a familiar tearing feeling came over him, and Li Yi immediately understood what had happened.
But when he realized it, it was still a little too late.
Soon there was no one in front of the mirror, only the treasure house door that had not yet been completely closed was slowly closing, and soon there was no movement.
And all this, the butler outside the treasure house passage knew nothing about.
Tian was in a nervous mood, as if he was afraid that the young master would not be able to complete the test. He had no idea what his young master was going through.
