Chapter 329 Chapter 327: Conversation between two men (Subscribe)
In the study,
In the sofa area, the light of the magic crystal chandelier paints the entire room in a warm yellow color.
Reagan Lightninger raised his head slightly and looked at the man who was so close to him. Although he tried hard to suppress his emotions, he was still a little nervous.
This man is young, handsome, with deep eyes and elegant manners, but what is most striking about him is the majesty and confidence that comes from his high position.
It seemed as if nothing in this world could stop him!
Looking at this face, Reagan was actually a little dazed.
He considered himself an open-minded person. Even if he only had one daughter, he was willing to let her live according to her own wishes.
So, despite the entire family's opposition, he supported Lilia in going to study abroad in the Habsburg Empire.
Even the Ferrante School of Magic was run by him personally.
But what happened later was a little outrageous!
He knew that his daughter had a boyfriend who was not only her student, but also an illegitimate child.
Of course he did not agree with this situation, but before he could object, he was poisoned and on the verge of death.
Then, when Lilia came back, she was surrounded by a group of powerful people and brought the legendary potion, the Tears of the Holy Angel.
Not only did he save his life, but he also helped him uncover the hidden villains in the family, allowing him to regain control of the family.
Only then did he realize that although his daughter's boyfriend was an illegitimate child, he seemed to be a good businessman and very rich!
At some point, he actually had an idea.
If this little guy can pass his test, it is not impossible for him to marry into his family.
Anyway, the family business will be given to Lilia in the future, so it would be better to have a capable man to help her.
Of course, this was just his personal opinion, and he hadn't had time to discuss it with Lilia.
In his opinion, the relationship between young people is always unstable, and they may quarrel and break up at any time.
Therefore, no matter how much you say now, it will be in vain. It is better to wait a while.
If it can really last, then it won't be too late to test it out and marry into the wife's family.
But the subsequent developments made him feel a little magical!
What about the Raymond family suffering a catastrophe, their direct bloodline being cut off, and the illegitimate son being taken back to become the head of the family and inherit the earldom?!
What kind of noble war, victory, and becoming the current lion king?!
What? He defeated the three pirate kings of the Silver Sea and even stole that magical warship?!
What's with the reforms being implemented in Flower Territory? Many people think these young people are just fooling around, but Flower Territory's growing strength is obvious to all!
That’s not even counting the Loy Fitz Magic Group he founded in the Habsburg Empire.
Those who do business are more informed about each other and know exactly how huge that group company is!
Reagan was paying attention to all of this, and then he watched helplessly as this illegitimate son walked step by step to a position that he could not reach.
At this time, the idea of marrying into the wife's family had disappeared, and he even began to worry about his daughter.
His daughter is certainly very outstanding, but facing this man who seems to be cheating, she has no advantage.
It was also at this time that his daughter sent back a letter. The content was a lot, but the core idea was just one - Luo Yi was going to marry her, so she asked him to discuss the marriage arrangements.
Reagan read and flipped through the letter for a long time. He knew every word on it, but when they were put together, he always felt a little insecure.
His first feeling was not happiness, but worry!
He worried about whether his daughter could adapt to the status of a countess, whether the difference in status would make outsiders look down on her, whether the news was true, and whether a nobleman marrying a merchant's daughter would be criticized...
He had so many things to worry about that when he came to his senses, he even felt that he should stop the marriage.
If two people from different social statuses really get together, it's hard to say whether they will be happy in the future!
So, here he comes!
Try to prepare enough dowry to support your daughter.
He found enough connections, spent a lot of money, and hired two third-level transcendents to accompany him, just to avoid being looked down upon!
But when he really came and saw it, he realized how ridiculous his preparations were!
Compared to a earldom, the wealth he brought was nothing.
Compared with the strength of the Raymond family, the two extraordinary people didn't even dare to say a word.
This was a complete weakness and a complete crushing, but Reagan still summoned up his last bit of courage and asked what was in his heart when he was alone.
"My Lord Earl, are you serious about this wedding?"
Hearing this, Luo Yi sat up straight. He looked at Reagan, the father who loved his daughter deeply, and said seriously, "I will marry her!"
After a pause, Roy continued, "Mr. Reagan, your daughter is very outstanding, very, very outstanding.
She is in the Flower Territory, but her talent is actually being buried. If she were in the Habsburg Empire, she could achieve greater things."
"Her teacher, His Majesty Saint Bartholomew, is from the imperial family and a powerful mechanical mage. He personally taught her all things magic."
"She also helped me a lot. Most of the processing magic machinery in Flower Territory is her hard work and creation.
She is the good girl I long for, so I will definitely marry her!"
Reagan felt a little embarrassed for his daughter because of this compliment.
But he still asked: "You really don't care about the difference in status at all?"
"The gap in status?"
"The difference between a merchant's daughter and a bastard?"
Luo Yi curled his lips and sarcastically said, "When I first came here, those nobles dared to call me a bastard in front of me.
But what about now?
Even behind their backs, they don’t dare to say that anymore!”
"Prejudice in people's hearts is as huge as a mountain, but as long as I'm strong enough and beat them so hard that they dare not raise their heads in front of me, then the so-called status gap will disappear!"
"Uncle, I have never been a traditional noble, and I don't want to marry someone without any feelings for me.
I love Miss Lilia. Whether we are rich or poor, healthy or sick, I am willing to grow old with her! "
Reagan Lightninger looked at Roy and saw sincerity through those deep eyes.
He finally sighed deeply and said, "I only hope that you, Lord Earl, can remember what you said!"
"Of course!"
Roy nodded and felt relieved. Even when facing the Grand Duke of Carlisle, he was not so nervous.
However, since the other party has agreed, let's move on to the next step.
So, changing the subject, Luo Yi said, "Since you agree, let's discuss the wedding date.
Uncle, what do you think of April?"
He hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to go earlier.
However, in January and February of this year, Raymond Magic Energy Group has to distribute dividends, and there are still many things to be done, so I am afraid I am too busy to handle it.
Moreover, I want to give Lilia the best, so I need more time to prepare. I also need to invite many nobles to watch the ceremony, so I have to leave enough time.
so……"
Reagan Lightninger was stunned when he heard this. He quickly interrupted: "No, you are going to set a date for the wedding and I just got here today?"
"Haha, I'm a little anxious. Then please wait and see when is the right time?"
Outside the door.
Lilia had been standing there for quite a while, holding tea and snacks in her hands, but she had no intention of pushing the door open.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the discussion was almost over.
Beside her, her best friend, Mira Greenman, poked her with her finger and silently lip-synced something.
Lilia blushed with shame!
…
In fact, with Luo Yi's current status and position, it is not impossible for him to maintain a relatively strong attitude!
But this is Lilia's father, his father-in-law, and they will become a family in the future.
Even if it is simply for the sake of family harmony, one has to lower his posture and say nice things.
Lilia may not be a traditional noble lady, nor a gentle and elegant lady, but she is the lady that makes Loyi's heart beat, and she is also her best helper.
So, it's worth putting some thought into it.
In the following days, Roy asked Lilia to accompany his father to go around and take a look.
Reagan Leitninger's favorite area is not some scenic place, but an industrial area outside Brussels.
In front of the magic steelmaking furnace, he watched as a furnace of red-hot molten iron was poured out and formed into different shapes in the fixed mold.
He had to admit that he was stunned when those high-quality iron ingots appeared.
He lingered in the spinning mill, listening to the roar of the machines, watching countless female workers busy at the textile machines, and seeing the textiles coming out fresh one by one.
It was so efficient that he could hardly take his eyes off it!
He also saw rows of neatly arranged machine tools in the processing workshop. Everyone was there, concentrating on operating them.
After a while, various parts appeared in their hands, some of which were the giant weapons that the sea people wanted.
If Reagan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't even want to believe it was true.
Finally, I walked forward along the railway track and watched the locomotive, pulling more than ten boxes of iron ore, approaching rapidly.
He couldn't even imagine how many pack horses would be needed to pull such a heavy carriage.
The shock he received from the Flower Territory directly made him break through his original worldview.
He also watched the Knight Machine Gun Team training in the military camp. The Maxim machine gun, when held in the arms, became a portable submachine gun.
After one volley of bullets, there were bloody holes everywhere!
Reagan was just a businessman and didn't know how to fight and kill, but even so, he felt the thrill and terror brought by the Maxim magic heavy machine gun.
In the past, he only knew about the power of magic machinery. The Habsburg Empire promoted it with all its might, even going so far as to make enemies with all the other countries.
But now, he suddenly had a feeling that this was a power and era that was truly enough to change the world.
At this moment, his strongest desire was to bring the magical machinery back to the Tudor Dynasty, back to his home!
