Xu Yi looked at Viscount Leslie sitting in front of him with a relaxed smile, feeling a bit angry and a bit amused.
"I say ….. Leslie, didn't you say that you would go all out to fight for the family's inheritance and then control the Stagg Family, but what happened in the end?
Why have you been kicked out of the family? "
"No, no, no, you have to understand something. I wasn't kicked out of the family, but rather I took the initiative to leave." Viscount Leslie stretched out a finger and shook it.
"The two are very different, don't make a mistake."
Xu Yi couldn't help smiling as he said, "Is there a difference?
In short, you've been forced to leave the Stagg Family and you can't even stay in the Lampari Kingdom, so you can only come to me.
I say, does Duke Stagg have to be this cruel to you?
You are still his blood related son no matter what. "
"For a large noble like my father, a blood related son isn't as important as you think."
Viscount Leslie ….. Alright, when he was kicked out of the Stagg Family, he was also stripped of his noble status by the Royal Parliament, so he couldn't be called a viscount anymore.
Leslie didn't look disappointed at all, rather he looked very relaxed. It was like being kicked out of the family by his father was something worth being happy about.
"Of course it's worth being happy about."
Leslie said with a faint smile, "Staying in that house, breathing in that suffocating air every day and watching a group of people led by father scheming against other people, I've been very tired of it for a long time.
I wanted to work hard to change this family, but father had already seen through my thoughts and didn't give me a chance at all. "
"You're not disappointed?" Xu Yi was a bit confused.
"Now that you've been kicked out, wouldn't you have a chance to change the Stagg Family in the future?"
"If there's no chance, there's no chance."
Leslie gave a shrug, "Father and the people of the family have already chosen the path they want to take. Since I don't have the ability to change them, I can only leave.
Actually this is also good because in the end, I am still a member of the Stagg Family. As long as I'm alive, this family will still exist.
As for what will become of Father and the others, that has nothing to do with me. "
Xu Yi knit his brows as he looked at Leslie. He suddenly thought of the history books he had read on earth before. In history, there were many large families that in order to avoid their entire family being destroyed because of a single choice, they would have their family's juniors choose different lords to support.
In this way, even if one side was defeated, there would always be one side that would survive and have the opportunity to continue developing the family. At the very least, they would be able to continue the bloodline of the family.
Duke Stagg had chased Leslie out of the Stagg Family. Although this was because Leslie's political views didn't match his and the Stagg Family's political views, perhaps he was also thinking about this.
However, Xu Yi couldn't bring himself to ask this question. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Alright then. Now that you can't survive in the Lampari Kingdom, are you looking for something to do here?"
"Un, I've always been interested in the magic machines you've been researching. Other than that, I heard that your company had developed something good, so I came to take a look." Leslie replied.
"What did you like?" Xu Yi asked in a curious voice.
"If I didn't make a mistake, last time you told Hannas that thing was going to go to sea today.
Come, take me to see it. "Leslie stood up and walked out the door.
Xu Yi was stunned, "So you liked it?"
Looking at Leslie's back in confusion, Xu Yi shook his head and stood up to follow him.
When he walked out the door, there was a small figure that swayed as she walked over. She threw herself at Xu Yi and grabbed his leg.
"Dad ….. Dad ….. Hug ….."
Xu Yi leaned over and opened his arms to hug Freya, forcefully kissing her little face.
Freya was already a year and three months old and had just learned how to walk. She liked running around the manor during this time.
Xu Yi liked playing with her on the grass when he was free, so even if Xu Yi didn't spend that much time with her, she was very close to Xu Yi.
Being poked by Xu Yi's beard, Freya gave a childish laugh.
Seeing Xu Yi teasing Freya, Leslie took out a red jade pendant from his chest and handed it over.
"Come, Freya, take this.
Uncle Leslie left in a hurry this time and didn't prepare a better gift for you, you won't blame me, right? "
With Xu Yi's current relationship with Leslie, he didn't need to be polite. Xu Yi didn't say anything and allowed Leslie to put this expensive jade pendant into Freya's little hands. He turned to ask him, "Speaking of this, Leslie, I suddenly feel that the reason Duke Stagg drove you out is because you still aren't willing to get married, right?"
Leslie's expression changed as he looked at Xu Yi and said with a cold snort, "What?
You're married now and have a daughter, so you're rushing me like those annoying fellows? "
Xu Yi gave a shrug, "I'm too lazy to rush you, this is your private matter.
I just feel that Duke Stagg hopes that you can strengthen the Stagg Family bloodline. If you bring a girl back now, he might be happy and let you return to the family. "
"I'm not a breeding stallion." Leslie snorted.
Leslie gave a snort, "Moreover, I said it just now, I chose to leave and wasn't driven out by him, so there is a difference."
Xu Yi treated it as him being stubborn, so he shook his head and didn't say anything else. Seeing that Freya wasn't willing to get off him, he told Liz who had been in charge of following Freya to drive the Magic Sedan over. After getting in the Magic Sedan with Leslie, they headed to the wharf by the sea under the cliff of the manor.
This wharf had been expanded compared to when New Flyer came to the Principality of Constantine to open the Xinfei Farm. It had gone from three wharves to seven wharves.
Other than the wharves, there was a dock that was over a hundred thousand square meters not far away.
By the shore of the dock, there were over a hundred large and small boats parked there.
Other than a few wooden boats, the rest were New Flyer's Magic Boats.
Of course, there were big and small Magic Boats. The small ones could only seat five people at most, which was around the same as the smallest wooden boat.
The bigger ones were over ten meters long and four to five meters wide. It wasn't a problem for them to seat several dozen people or to equip some goods.
Xu Yi carried Freya out of the Magic Sedan and pointed at the Magic Boats in front of them. He asked Leslie who came out on the other side, "Did you come for them?"
"Of course not."
Leslie shook his head. He looked at Xu Yi before suddenly saying with a smile, "Alright, Xu Yi, Hannas has already told me everything, so you don't need to hide it like it's a secret.
Quickly tell me, when will your new Magic Boat launch ceremony begin?
I'm waiting to see it. "
"That fellow Hannas really can't be relied on." Xu Yi rolled his eyes. He gave Freya to Liz to hold and headed to the dock in the distance.
There was a group of people wearing New Flyer clothes working in the dock, as if they were arranging something.
Seeing Xu Yi come over, Kennard who was in charge of directing came forward.
"Sir chairman, it's all prepared, we're waiting for you to announce it."
After saying this, Kennard gave a nod to Leslie who was standing behind him.
The two of them came from large noble families in Anvilmar City, so naturally they knew each other.
Through their relationship with Xu Yi, the two of them were even more familiar with each other.
Xu Yi looked at the timer on the side and found that it was close to the scheduled time, so he gave a nod, "Alright, since everything is prepared, then let's begin."
Kennard replied before leaving to give the final orders.
Not long after, a waterway leading to the Endless Sea was opened in the dock. As the gate slowly opened, a sharp bow slowly sailed out from the covered dock. Not long after, the entire figure was revealed, bathing in the sunlight.
Looking up, Leslie couldn't help taking in a cold breath.
Although he knew from Hannas that the New Flyer's Magic Boat was quite big, he never would have thought that it would be this big!
Looking at it from the water, the part of the Magic Boat that was above the water was over five meters tall. After the entire Magic Boat was revealed, one could see that it was over fifty meters long.
Although because of the angle, Leslie couldn't see how wide the Magic Boat was, based on its appearance, it should be a shocking twenty meters wide!
Since he set his goal, Leslie had learned a lot about ships. He knew that in the history of Sines, there had never been such a large ship before.
What was even more shocking and unbelievable was that this Magic Boat was completely made of steel!
This kind of giant Magic Boat was completely made of steel, so it could be imagined how heavy it was.
With such a terrifying weight, it could actually float on the water. This simply subverted Leslie's common sense.
Seeing the thick layer of steel around the Magic Boat, Leslie couldn't help being shocked in his heart.
This Magic Boat, it was simply an iron fortress that could move freely on the sea.
If one drove this Magic Boat on the sea, they would definitely be invincible!
