Chapter 364
Watching his grandfather’s movements, the Marshal of the Warring States took out a key-like thing from the drawer.
When the Marshal of the Warring States approached, took out the thing, and gave her a closer look, he found that it was indeed a key, but the key was very small, but it was also very delicate and small.
“Grandpa, this is?” Zhan Ling Li asked.
“This is the code with the emblem of the warring countries.” Marshal of the Warring States explained.
“Password?” It’s a little strange. Isn’t the emblem of the warring country open at the age of 18 as long as it is the descendants of the warring country? Still need a password?
The Marshal of the Warring States knew that his granddaughter’s heart was full of doubts, so he replied: “The key to the Warring States is the last hurdle, this is to prevent some descendants from meeting the conditions for family inheritance, so this key will eventually remain in the hands of the previous heir, and only if the heir of this term really meets the conditions, can it be handed over to him.”
After listening to it, Zhan Lingli understood, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that there were so many difficulties in wanting to inherit the strength of the family.
The identity of the heir, the family emblem of the war country, and this inconspicuous little key are all important and indispensable.
“Grandpa, how should this key be used?” Zhan Ling asked curiously.
“In fact, it is very simple, since it is the heir to open it, then it is necessary to use the blood of the heir to awaken this family emblem, as well as this key.” Marshal of the Warring States explained.
“Blood?!” Zhan Lingli couldn’t feel a little tight, where was the blood? It won’t hurt much…
“Don’t worry, just scratch your thumb and put a little bit on the family emblem and keys.”
The Marshal of the Warring States saw that his granddaughter was a little scared, and quickly explained.
“Uh-huh! That’s good, that’s good. Zhan Ling nodded and smiled.
The Marshal of the Warring States handed the key to the hand of the warlord and said, “This key will be handed over to you in the future.”
Zhan Ling took the key solemnly and promised, “Grandpa, I will definitely guard this family emblem and key of our family.”
Marshal of the Warring States nodded gratifyingly, he had waited so long before, he just wanted his son to inherit this family emblem and become as powerful as him, but his son was unwilling to inherit for some reason, at that time he was very angry, felt that his son was too ignorant, and when he had his own family and his own children, he would slowly regret it.
However, his son insisted on not inheriting it, and he looked like he would never regret it for the rest of his life, which made him feel annoyed.
And now, his granddaughter is willing to inherit this family crest, which he hopes to see, but he is also a little strange, after all, this kind of thing, if not for his son telling his granddaughter, his granddaughter may never know about it.
Why is the battle group willing to tell Ling Li now?
He felt a little strange and asked unconsciously.
“Child, has your father already agreed to your inheritance of this family crest?”
“Well, yes, it was my father who asked me to come to you, and my father told me that only grandpa knows how to open this family emblem and help me obtain the power of the Devil Fruit.” Zhan Lingli did not hide it and said it truthfully.
“But isn’t your father very resistant to the power of the Devil Fruit? How could he agree to your inheritance? When the Marshal of the Warring States heard him say this, he became even more puzzled.
“Grandpa, in fact, for so many years, you really misunderstood Dad.” For some reason, she suddenly wanted to solve the misunderstanding between her father and grandfather, she knew that whether it was her father or grandfather, she actually cared about each other very much, she didn’t understand why they both cared so much about each other’s father and son, but because of some small contradictions, they made such unpleasant trouble, resulting in not seeing each other for so many years.
“What? I misunderstood him? The Marshal of the Warring States did not expect that his granddaughter would suddenly say this, and he was a little stunned for a while.
“Grandpa, in fact, there was a reason why Dad refused to inherit the family crest back then.” Zhan Ling said.
“Originally, I was also very strange, the family emblem of the war country, there are some devil fruits in it, as long as you eat the devil fruit, you can have great power, isn’t this bad, it can protect our family from harm…”
“But Dad told us that he is because, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility, just like grandpa you, with great power, then, naturally, will no longer do nothing in a small space, just to be with the family, have great strength, but also lose the ability to swim, then, suppose one day, mom fell into the water, dad can only watch mom sink, moreover, can’t swim in the water with mom who loves to swim the most…”
“Of course, I know that it is naturally impossible to give up such a powerful force for those reasons alone.” When Zhan Li said this, he reversed his words.
“Then why did your father give up?” The Marshal of the Warring States actually couldn’t let go of his son’s previous abandonment of the power to inherit the Devil Fruit, and he always felt that it was because of his wife’s incident that his son had hatred for him, and he would use this as revenge for himself.
“The real reason why my father did not inherit this family crest is actually because of my mother.” Zhan Ling said.
“Your mother?” The Marshal of the Warring States repeated.
“Dad told me that after eating the Devil Fruit, whether in terms of supernatural abilities or lifespan, people who eat the Devil Fruit will also live longer, Dad can’t stand it, watching his mother leave him, but he can’t do anything, he can only continue to survive alone… This is the real reason why my father is unwilling to eat the devil fruit and give up having great power. Zhan Lingli finally spoke his father’s true thoughts.
The Marshal of the Warring States listened to his granddaughter’s words, and it seemed that this was how he understood everything.
It turned out that the son gave up the power to inherit the Devil Fruit for the sake of his daughter-in-law, not because he blamed himself for failing to save his mother…
He had always misunderstood his son, and because of these unnecessary guesses, his family had been separated for so many years, and he had missed many happy times in the world in vain.
“Thank you, child.”
“Thank you for telling me all this.”
