Du Wei's face immediately flashed an expression of joy from the bottom of his heart, he stood up and walked over to open the door.
At the door, eight-year-old Gabri looked at his brother with an excited smile on his face.
This man was considered the hope of the family's future, the pride of the family, the earl's favorite son, and the default heir. Standing in front of Du Wei at this moment, he didn't seem to have any "genius" demeanor at all.
Gabri was wearing a blue dress. The style of this dress was very strange. It was not at all like the robes usually worn by nobles on the Roland continent... This dress actually had many, many pockets, and it looked very different from the style.
It's weird, it seems to have been sewn on later.
Du Wei could tell at a glance that the style of this dress was something he had mentioned in private chat with Gabri.
Only in Du Wei's previous life, the clothes in that world had so many pockets. Obviously this smart boy was inspired by Du Wei. Gabri later asked his servant to make such a weird piece of clothing for him, and those pockets...
...To be honest, this dress looks a lot like the "director uniform" from Du Wei's previous life.
Gabri is very handsome. Like Du Wei, he has inherited all the advantages of the count and the beautiful countess. However, Gabri, who is only eight years old, looks a bit more muscular than Du Wei. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
, making his physical fitness far superior to others. He is only a little shorter than Du Wei... It is conceivable that this boy has a good chance of growing into another outstanding military general of the Luo Lin family in the future.
Eight-year-old Gabri looked at his brother. The smile on his face was genuine. There was an innocent smile on his slightly immature face. This smile made Du Wei's heart warm immediately.
After all, this kid once allowed himself to climb into his window in the middle of the night for two consecutive years!
"Brother! You are finally back! I know you will definitely come back." Gabri cheered, went up and hugged Du Wei. Du Wei felt a little moved... Probably after returning to the imperial capital, he faced the earl.
The kind of "fatherly love" that pretends to be more meaningful makes Du Wei a little disappointed. At this moment, the feelings shown by this younger brother towards him are sincere.
Du Wei smiled and patted Gabri on the head, but frowned and looked at his clothes: "You actually got such clothes... Oh my God, why are you covered with dirt! I heard that you went to Blue Ocean University to study
There, did you run out and dig into the dirt on the way?"
Gabri laughed: "Brother, I made this dress pretty well, right? You're right, it's really convenient! My books, snacks, gold coins, and some small things can all be put there
In the pocket... Oh, by the way, there is also the dagger given to me by the Alpha Guard Captain. I can put it in too!"
After saying that, Gabri suddenly turned around and shouted: "Yi? Why don't you come in?"
Du Wei was shocked!
Is there anyone else outside?
Then, from the dark corner of the corridor, a person slowly walked out. This person really surprised Du Wei!
Du Wei's natural mental strength is far superior to others. After practicing magic for so long, both his hearing and eyesight have reached an astonishing level! And when Gabri came just now, he clearly only heard the footsteps of one person.
Voice!
Where did the second person come from?
Du Wei couldn't help but look at this guy carefully, and he felt a hint of vigilance in his heart!
This guy is probably not simple!
This was a man who was only in his twenties. He was dressed the same as the servants of the Luo Lin family, and his appearance seemed to be ordinary. But Du Wei saw an indifference that was almost icy in this guy's eyes.
!
Moreover, this guy is so strange... His walking posture is as light as a hunting cheetah, his eyes always have the same kind of unchanging indifference and vigilance, and the way he walks... It's as if he is afraid of trampling on an ant.
!
Although Du Wei didn't know this guy, based on his first impression, he was immediately sure: this guy is definitely a master! A master of martial arts!
Moreover, this person... I'm afraid he has seen blood! The indifference in his eyes is a look with indifference to life! I am afraid that only people who have really seen blood will have such a temperament.
More importantly, he is probably an experienced guy... In the corridor just now, he was very careful, or it was purely instinctive, to stand in the only darkest corner in the corridor... Even
When he stood in the corner, he didn't know what strange method he used. Even the breath of his whole body seemed to be hidden in an instant!
As a result, a person with such a sensitive sense as Du Wei almost didn't notice that there was such a person behind Gabri in the corridor!
"Brother." Gabri smiled innocently, looked at Du Wei, who had a strange look on his face, and said, "This is the servant my father gave me... Alas, this is what he looks like, as cold as a wooden man. I don't even think about it.
Why do I like him, but my father has strictly ordered that he must follow me wherever I go... Today is the first day that he follows me... Alas, I have tried many methods, but he won't even smile.
."
oh?
The follower assigned by his father to Gabri? The first day?
Du Wei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This is obviously a personal bodyguard. Moreover, this guy's strength is definitely not simple!
Du Wei withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and asked this guy casually, "Oh, what's your name?"
This guy didn't seem to hear him, he just stood there quietly.
Gabri was a little unhappy. He stared at this guy and said, "Hey! My brother is asking you something! Listen, this is my brother! What he said is the same as what I said! Do you understand?"
This silent and mysterious expert glanced at Gabri quietly. There was no trace of displeasure in his eyes... It was a look that seemed to be indifferent to everything.
Finally, he nodded slightly, then turned his eyes to Du Wei, and replied in a low and hoarse voice:
"My name is Tu."
The reunion of the two brothers should be a happy event.
Especially for Gabri. This eight-year-old child has been praised as a genius since he was a child... He is indeed very smart. But Gabri has known a secret since he was a child: this brother of his is disliked by his father and looked down upon by everyone.
The idiot young master of the Luo Lin family... is actually probably ten times smarter than me! His level of erudition is even a hundred times better than mine!
For the past two years, this brother would come into his room in the middle of the night almost every night and teach him so many interesting things in various new, weird and interesting ways... And it turns out that what Duwei taught Gabri was
Everything turned out to be very useful later on! Without my brother’s guidance, I would never have gotten the title of “genius”.
Although Gabri doesn't understand why brother Du Wei keeps acquiescing to other people's misunderstandings about him. He is obviously the real genius, but he doesn't care about the misunderstandings around him. Others say he is an idiot behind his back, but he never refutes...
After Du Wei left the imperial capital, his mother's sad tears and his father's indifferent attitude made Gabri a little puzzled. However, at a young age, Gabri always believed in one thing: with his brother's intelligence, sooner or later he would return
He is from the Imperial Capital! Because he is such a unique person. Such a person may be misunderstood by others for a while, but he will never be misunderstood forever!
Du Wei was very pleased with the kindness shown by Gabri to him... He understood very well that in such a wealthy and aristocratic family, brothers would often turn against each other in order to compete for favor or inheritance rights. But this young brother... Fortunately, he did not
What kind of estrangement does he show towards himself?
"You haven't answered my question yet... Didn't you go to the Blue Ocean University Scholars? Did you get covered in dirt there?" Du Wei pointed at Gabri's clothes and smiled.
Indeed, the blue clothes on Gabri's body were black and gray, full of dust, and stained with a lot of dirt. Even his hands and shoes were still stained with mud.
"Sigh... these are all the tasks assigned to me by Teacher Lan Hai." Gabri looked helpless. After all, he is a child of a noble family. He has been taught to pay attention to his appearance since he was a child. At this moment, he is disgraced and somewhat unhappy.
Afterwards, Gabri explained something, which made Du Wei somewhat interested in the Blue Ocean University scholar.
As the most famous scholar in the imperial capital, Du Wei obviously admires Lan Hai's education method! Today he teaches his disciples some things about plants and biology. However, he does not have the old-fashioned way of asking his disciples to memorize things from books.
Instead, he deliberately corrected a few minor mistakes in the content of a book, and then handed it over to Gabri and other disciples, and then asked them to go to the yard and observe the plants and creatures.
Through the results of their observations, let them discover for themselves the errors in the deliberately tampered content... This approach is far more impressive than memorizing the content in the book!
It is said that the dirt all over Gabri's body was made by digging for earthworms in the teacher's yard.
As expected, he is indeed the most famous scholar in the imperial capital! This kind of teaching method is a step above others.
Du Wei smiled and looked at Gabri, who had some dissatisfaction on his face: "Gabri, listen. Your teacher's approach is very correct. Although I can't explain it to you in detail now, but you believe me! You must respect this teacher.
A teacher...you will definitely learn a lot from him!"
"I think..." Gabri hesitated for a moment, with a sincere smile on his face: "Brother, I think it would be better if you taught me personally! I believe that my brother will never compare to anything.
Scholars must be poor!"
Du Wei smiled and easily deflected the question, without answering his brother's words directly. He thought for a moment, then walked to his cabinet, rummaged inside for a while, and finally took out something and walked to Gabri
He handed it over in front of him and said with a smile: "I made some interesting things during the year I stayed in my hometown... I don't have any good gifts for you when I come back this time. But maybe you will be interested in this thing.
."
This is a single-tube telescope, which was made by Du Wei when he was bored in the Luolin Plain. The workmanship is still a bit rough, but the basic function is still very good. However, on the Luolan Continent, the role of the telescope is not obvious.
.Because a low-level magician here can use the "Eagle Eye Technique" to completely replace the function of a telescope.
However, as a toy for children, it is still very good.
The smart Gabri played with it for a few times and immediately understood the function of this thing. He opened the window excitedly, then looked around with a telescope, marveling again and again, and then laughed loudly: "It's great! Brother, I'm afraid this thing
It’s more effective than a magician’s eagle eye! Is this really given to me?”
Du Wei smiled: "Of course."
"I knew it! My brother is a very smart man!" Gabri happily stuffed the telescope into his pocket. Then his face suddenly turned gloomy: "Unfortunately, I have to go to the teacher tomorrow... Oh, pick up
I have to stay at Teacher Lan Hai’s house since I came down, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to go home until the Summer Festival.”
At this moment, the mysterious master named Tu who had been standing at the door suddenly spoke. His hoarse voice was low and rich: "Master Gabri, we are going back. The earl said that you should go see him immediately after you come back.
he."
"Got it!" Gabri was a little impatient. He glanced at the follower and said, "You go back first. I want to stay with my brother for a while."
"No." Tu refused flatly: "Your Majesty the Earl said, you must never go beyond my sight anywhere."
Du Wei's heart was moved, his face remained calm, but the question in his heart came out: so tightly protected? Why?
After thinking for a while, Du Wei said: "Okay, Gabri, you go back first... I think it's better for you not to disobey your father's instructions. Anyway, I'm back now, are you still worried that you won't be able to see me in the future?"
"
With that said, Du Wei gently pulled his brother into his side, and whispered in Gabri's ear in a very serious voice: "Remember my words!"
"What?"
"This Tu...you have to be polite to him. Moreover, he is right, you'd better not leave his sight! Do you understand?"
When Gabri faced Du Wei, he seemed to be very obedient. He did not hesitate and nodded vigorously: "Okay! I believe you!"
After saying that, Gabri turned around and looked at Tu, and his tone was much more polite: "Mr. Tu, let's go back."
Before leaving, Tu glanced at Du Wei in surprise. He probably didn't expect that this proud young master Gabri, who dared to resist even the earl's words, unexpectedly obeyed his brother's words so much.
After closing the door, Du Wei rubbed his temples and said to himself: "I'm afraid the situation in the imperial capital is really not good... Otherwise, why would my father send such a skilled bodyguard to his brother?"
