Chapter 2938: 2738 Small Gift (Alliance Leader Deng Chaohong Bonus Chapter 4)
Alps Mountains, in the castle standing among the mountains, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian sat quietly on the sofa in the dim room, holding a cup of red liquid. He watched the ripples in the cup gently sway, waiting for something.
"Mr. Ke Li, the data has been compiled." A clansman in a tailcoat came in to report.
Several pages of paper were handed into Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian's hands.
Lord Luo Qie is indeed old, so he finds it hard to accept reading related information on phones or tablets. To him, reading paper information is true reading. Although this is somewhat old-fashioned, it can also be called retro romance.
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian put down the cup, his expression calm as he simply flipped through the paper covered in strange symbols once, his expression solemn. He stood up, tidied his clothes, then went to Luo Qie's room.
Winter had arrived, Luo Qie sat in his wheelchair, a small fleece blanket draped over his knees, warming himself by the fireplace.
This scene would not be perfect without a black cat, but Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian knew Lord Luo Qie disliked cats, especially black cats.
"My lord, the data is out." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian walked to behind the wheelchair and said softly.
"Oh." Luo Qie responded, extending his hand to warm himself by the fireplace flames.
The room isn't cold; in fact, the temperature is quite suitable, but this is Lord Luo Qie's habit, unchanged for many years. He is conservative, refuses to change, which is indeed laughable.
But Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian knew Lord Luo Qie actually does not reject new things; at least he has placed bets in every aspect.
Those world-top laboratories spread across Eurasia and America were established by Lord Luo Qie's orders.
"The analysis of satellite-monitored energy data shows, just as you sensed, that someone has broken through that barrier." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said softly.
"Zheng, you were there too, right?" Old Lord Luo Qie's voice was ethereal and omnipresent.
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said, "Yes. I sensed it and immediately contacted Zheng, discovering he was not in Di Du but in Yangcheng. I didn't ask, but I indeed met a remarkable person. He should not be the one causing the energy fluctuation, yet I sensed danger in him."
"That's it." Luo Qie rubbed his hands by the fireplace, as if the cold wind outside were howling, mixed with heavy snowflakes beating against the roof.
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said nothing else, not even proactively handing over the paper in his hand.
He could sense a strange energy fluctuation, which even affected his thoughts, his whole body's blood seeming to coagulate, unable to flow.
Truly incomprehensible—facing Lord Luo Qie, who is so powerful, why would anyone dare to poison him?
Lead poisoning—said like that, it sounds like a joke. Yet this joke truly harmed Lord Luo Qie, the only injury he has suffered in many years.
After nearly an hour, Luo Qie's hand twitched slightly.
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian had been watching his movements; this was a decision already made, so he immediately passed the paper in his hand over.
Old Luo Qie began flipping through, examining each sheet carefully, then throwing the paper into the fireplace after reading.
Those strange symbols were like dancing fire sprites, joyfully dancing in the fireplace flames.
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian lowered his head, as if even a glance would inflict irreparable harm upon himself.
"Ke Li, prepare the plane." Lord Luo Qie said after looking at the last page of paper and throwing it into the fireplace.
"Sure, I'll go right away. Is there anything else to instruct?" Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian asked.
"No." Luo Qie's aged voice echoed throughout the room; in an instant, it seemed as if the entire castle were singing along, trembling slightly, and Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian even felt the space faintly showing signs of cracking.
Sweat poured out, his back shirt soaked and clinging to his body, making Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian feel quite uncomfortable.
"I'll go myself." Luo Qie's words made Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian feel an almost infinite unease.
"My lord."
"The matter concerns the family; I must go myself." Luo Qie said softly, as if he were conversing with Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian, or as if he were speaking to himself.
"This is no coincidence; it has been hundreds of years, and that energy fluctuation has appeared again. I can sense it because I encountered it hundreds of years ago." Luo Qie's voice echoed in the room, and Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian could even see space beginning to fluctuate.
"My old intuition told me this could be true, worth a wager. But it's merely a possibility, that's all."
"Now, the energy fluctuation indicates not just a possibility but a fact! I have a strong premonition that, before long—ten or twenty years—before I go to the ancestral lands, we should see everything we dreamed of become reality."
Old Luo Qie was like a young dancer, using body language to emphasize his words. Arms flying, Ke Li felt his life was in constant danger.
"My lord, there is danger."
"I harbor no hostility." Luo Qie said, "Whatever they need, I will bring. ASML's photolithography machine—they seem to care about this."
"Yes, but if……"
"I don't care." Luo Qie said in a low voice, his emotion utterly steady, "For the family, I would rather be an enemy of the whole world… except him."
"Alright, I'll contact them right away." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian only gave half a suggestion, seeing Old Luo Qie's firm attitude, he immediately replied.
"Is the small gift for Zheng ready?"
"It's long been ready; I truly don't understand why Zheng keeps focusing on surgery." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian shrugged, "Compared to the photolithography machine that could shift the balance of world power, Zheng's needs are utterly insignificant."
"As long as he's happy, that's fine; one should always have a quirky little habit."
"As you wish, I will arrange it promptly, inform America of your will, so they add less trouble."
"Hmm, tell them I won't shy away from a fight." Old Luo Qie said firmly, "It truly feels like a joke, but the energy fluctuation is so clear, I feel as if I've returned to my youth."
Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said nothing more; he knew he previously could not enter this room. The reason his status within the family has risen is still because of that Zheng far away in Di Du.
I hope he can truly solve this problem.
Thinking of this, Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian suddenly realized something; he bowed and said, "My lord, Zheng said last time it might take several decades."
"I have patience." Old Luo Qie said, "I've waited hundreds of years; what's a few more decades? Besides, I believe he will definitely solve this before he dies, my initial embrace still remains, if he doesn't mind."
