Chapter 378 Su Shou and the Chamber of Secrets
"What's wrong with you?" Scotland asked looking at Wang Er.
"The young man has received many help from the palace during this period," said Wang Er. "Among these people, an adult named Xiao Shiba has taken good care of Xiao."
"The little one once dared to ask Xiao Shiba's name where the origin of his name, and then learned about Ye Shenbing." Speaking of this, Wang Er raised his head and looked at Scotland with a firm look. "The little one has decided to give up his family. The name 'Wang Er' has no meaning to the little one anymore. I hope the king can give Xiao a chance to give Xiao a name, so that Xiao can serve the king forever!"
Hearing this, Scotland was stunned, stared at Wang Er for a long time, and then asked, "You, sure?"
"Sure."
"Don't regret it?"
"Never regret it."
“…”
Scotland stood up from the dragon throne, came to Wang Er, looked at the other party and said, "Since you have made such a decision, I will not say more. The name 'Wang Er' is too casual and is indeed not suitable for you. From now on, you will follow my surname."
Speaking of this, Scotland paused, pondered for a while, and said, "As for the name... you are the first person to follow me. I originally wanted to name you "Yi", but the name "Su Yi" is no different from "Wang Er"... In this way, change "Yi" to "Shou". You are the first person to follow me. I hope you can compete for the first place in other things. At the same time, the word "Shou" is homophoned with the word "Shou". I hope you can become my right-hand man one day."
"Su Shou, Su Hand..." Wang Er repeated the name in a low voice, his expression on his face became more and more excited. Finally, he knelt in front of Scotland excitedly and said loudly, "Thank you!"
This name is of great significance to Wang Er, which means that he abandoned his relatives and would only belong to Scotland in the future.
It also means that he will completely get rid of the previous life of being mediocre and willing to be mediocre, and from then on he will strive for the person who gave him the name.
After getting this name, Wang Er... or Su Shou left with excitement, and only Scotland was left on the entire hall.
Scotland returned to the dragon throne and sat down, pondered for a long time, and then couldn't help but sigh.
Although Scotland does not need to spend too much effort on Xiaodu because of these capable ministers, this does not mean that he can be careless.
At this time, Xiao Shiba and her sister Xiao Shijiu walked out of the side hall together. He came to Scotland and bowed respectfully.
"Has the matter that asked you to investigate last time made progress?" Scotland asked.
Xiao Shiba always had a confident smile on his face, and he looked like a wise man who was in control. After hearing Scotland's words, he put away the smile on his face and nodded and said, "I have already had some eyebrows. After the investigations over the past few days, I have listed a list of nearly a hundred people."
Scotland was slightly surprised and asked, "So many?"
"These are just suspicious people and need further screening." Xiao Shiba replied.
"Well, remember what I said, keep a low profile and avoid panic." Scotland reminded.
“This is natural.”
"Sir." At this time, Xiao Shijiu, who had been silent, spoke. She looked at Scotland and asked, "If you catch a poacher, can you hand him over to me for disposal?"
Xiao Shijiu's eyes were filled with rage when he said this. Once the poacher fell into her hands, there would be no good results.
Scotland hesitated for a while, then
He nodded and said, "Yes, but if you want to kill him, you have to wait until the interrogation is completed."
Xiao Shijiu nodded and then fell silent again.
At this time, Xiao Shiba asked, "I heard the master's sigh just now. I don't know why he sighed, but what trouble did he encounter?"
Scotland was silent for a while, and then said, "Xiaodu's expansion requires a large amount of Yuan stones, and my remaining Yuan stones are probably not enough."
The Yuan stones on Scotland were still left after selling Yuan cores when they bought silver wings last time (Chapter 223). Most of the more than 40 million yuan of stones left at that time were used to purchase the materials needed to build the Yangshen Pool, plus the consumption during the journey, as well as the Mu Yuan stone and Guang Yuan stone that the people in Xiaodu have spent these days... Scotland now has less than 5 million Yuan stones left.
Do you want to sell another batch of RMB? But...
Although Scotland still has a large number of cores in its hands, he is no longer the ignorant young man who just came out of the forest and didn't know anything. He already knows the value of cores and knows that it is a priceless thing. Not only will it attract attention when selling it at will, but there may be many opportunities to use in the future.
I have to think of some other ways to get Yuanshi.
At this time, Xiao Shiba suddenly reminded him, "I wonder if sir, do you still remember the key I handed over to sir last time (Chapter 337)?"
Scotland was stunned for a moment, then he began to think about it. He moved the key in the warehouse to his hand, looked at Xiao Shiba and asked, "What are you talking about?"
“That’s right.”
"Can it solve the problem I'm having now?" Scotland asked.
He remembered that Xiao Shiba seemed to say that this was the key to a secret room. Is the secret room full of treasures?
"Sir, I know that Xiaozhi Kingdom used to fight everywhere and plundered a lot of money, which was managed by Brother Ye. Brother Ye is frugal and doesn't like extravagance and waste, so there should be a lot of money left." Xiao Shiba explained, "In addition, before handing over Xiao to Master, Brother Ye should have predicted the various difficulties that will be encountered in the future, so I guess even if there is no treasure in the secret room, there should be a way to solve the current difficulties."
Scotland nodded and asked, "Where is the secret room?"
Xiao Shiba shook his head and said, "Since it is a secret room, no one knows the specific location. Brother Ye once said that it was in his room. Please go and find it yourself."
"Then you take me to Xiaoye's room."
Afterwards, Scotland was led by Xiao Shiba and then left with his sister on the grounds that "this is left to the adults by Brother Ye."
Xiaoye's room is clean and tidy, and the layout is extremely simple. Apart from the few paintings hanging on the wall, there are almost no decorations.
Scotland stopped in front of those paintings for a while.
There are three paintings in total, one is a portrait of Xiaoye. The author of the signature is Xiao Shijiu. In the painting, Xiaoye has a faint smile on her face and looks amiable, just like the eldest brother next door.
The authors of the other two are Xiaoye himself. One is painted with three men and one woman, and their names are written below - "Da Pang, Xiao Song, Nizi, Pig Head". It seems that these are Xiaoye's playmates. The other is a picture of the people recording folk life.
This picture of the people attracted Scotland's attention.
This is Xiaoye's private room, where he rested after he put down his work. It is understandable to hang a portrait of Xiaoye's friend or his own portrait, but it is a bit unreasonable to hang a picture of the people in the room - in other words, this painting and
The themes of the other two paintings are too far apart.
Scotland stared at the painting for a long time and suddenly noticed a detail. The people in the painting seemed to be busy with their own lives, but after a closer look, they could find that their eyes or directions pointed in their hands were all facing a place in the painting.
There was a man in gorgeous clothes standing there.
Scotland stared at the man in the painting for a long time, but found nothing unusual. He tried to use his mental power to explore it, but he was sucked in the moment he touched the picture, and then the man in the brocade clothes and clothes in the painting began to emit a faint light.
Scotland waited for a while, but Wanmintu did not react any more, and he explored his mental power again and was not sucked in again.
Can a person's mental power only light up one person in the picture? If you want to light up the entire picture, wouldn't you have to find tens of thousands of people who have awakened their mental power?
Looking at the picture of the people, Scotland suddenly had a guess. He tried to put the power of faith that he had only realized yesterday into it.
Sure enough, after the power of faith penetrated it, all the characters on the picture emitted a faint light one after another, and soon the whole painting was lit up.
The power of faith is produced by the faith of all peoples, and it naturally contains the emotions and will of all peoples.
This picture of all nations must be illuminated by the faith of all nations.
Scotland smiled and said, "Is this a reminder?"
After the whole picture was lit up, the whole picture suddenly divided into four parts and slowly moved to the surrounding area, revealing a hole in the wall behind the picture, and a box is placed inside.
Scotland took out the box and looked it up, and found a key hole on it. He inserted the key into it. One side of the box suddenly opened, revealing a magic circle carved below. When Scotland looked at it with his mental power, he saw a formation door floating above the magic circle.
This box turned out to be a space container.
Scotland explored his mental power into the box and checked it, then retreated, looking at Xiaoye's portrait on the wall, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
There is indeed treasure in the box, and it is huge enough to solve the current difficulties.
However, without the power of faith, you cannot touch the mechanism to obtain the box, and you cannot obtain the treasures inside. Once you have the power of faith, you will be the well-deserved monarch of this country, and you will spend all these treasures on the people.
Xiaoye used this method to think about his people - even after death.
"Don't worry," said Scotland. "I won't let you down."
After saying that, he bowed to Xiaoye's portrait and left the room.
...
Meanwhile, in a room in the palace.
Xiao Shiba was sitting in front of a crystal ball and observing quietly. What reflected from the crystal ball was Scotland's every move in Xiaoye's room.
Xiao Shiba entered the room from Scotland and saw it all the time. After Scotland left with the box, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.
This is the last thing Xiaoye entrusts him to him before leaving - if Scotland has any idea of taking the treasure for himself, he must plan a rebellion.
It seems that it is completely useless now.
Unexpectedly, this new king mastered the power of faith so quickly, and found the treasure in less than half an hour.
So smart and talented, and caring for the people...
"Brother Ye, you really look at people."
