Chapter 2022 Mysterious Wooden Box
"Is this OK? What if Via and the others monitor General Monterey?" Leon Holden said worriedly.?
"No! The coalition will have an unwritten rule that members are not allowed to monitor each other. Moreover, General Monterey is a military minister, and even Benkosa has to give in to three points, let alone Via! At least according to his current power, he dare not attack General Monterey!" Princess Jona said..
"What if General Monterey also goes to Via, Benkosa and others?" Leon Holden asked.
Princess Jonah smiled and said with certainty: "No! My father and General Monterey have been friends for decades. They were together when they were in military school. Uncle Monterey is very straightforward. Maybe he may not help us, but he will definitely not surrender to the likes of the Chrysans."
Leon Holden nodded, and the two of them began to prepare for 6.
Tonight's Monterey Manor is decorated with lights and today is Newcastle's birthday. According to past practice, Monterey will invite all the manor members to have a party and have a feast. In the end, Monterey will give Newcastle the most surprising gift. The last event is Newcastle's most anticipated moment.
In a corner of the manor, Lati and Mia were chatting about happy things.
"Mia, you are so smart. As expected, you guessed it. Grandpa just scared us, not really trying to break us apart!" Latti said happily. No matter what festival it is, the happiest thing is the children. After all, they are satisfied with something delicious and fun.
"Haha, in this world, you are the person grandpa loves the most, so he can't bear to make you sad!" Mia said with a smile.
"But, since Newcasta became my grandmother, I have seen my grandfather not care about me much." Lady said in disappointment, with a smile on her face.
"Little fool." Mia gently pulled Lady into her arms, stroked her softness, and comforted her, "Grandpa is old and sometimes needs a companion, and you are slowly growing up. One day you will have to leave Grandpa. Do you want Grandpa to be lonely in the future?"
Lati broke free from Mia and said, "I don't want to leave my grandfather! I will be with my grandfather in this life and never be separated!"
"Haha, who told you to separate from Grandpa? Little baby?" It was Monterey's voice.
"Hello, Mr. Monterey!" Seeing that Monterey had come over at some point, Mia quickly bowed.
"Mia, you are really sensible!" Monterey said with approval. It seemed that Monterey had heard their speech.
"Thanks to you, Master, you educated me well!" Mia said very well.
"Haha, stop calling me master. From now on, I will be your grandfather too." Monterey said cheerfully.
"I..." Mia hesitated. After all, she had seen Monterey's fire look and was still very scared of him.
"I'm what I am. You've only been to Monterey Manor in a few months. I almost watched you grow up. I can't even call me Grandpa?" Monterey pretended to rise, and his beard was blown to the point of being fluttered.
"No, no..." Mia waved her hand quickly.
"Sister Mia, call me grandpa quickly! Then we are sisters!" Lady smiled, clapping her hands and jumping.
"Grandpa..." Mia whispered.
"Be good! Hehe." Monterey looked very happy when he touched his beard. After all, he was nearly 70 years old and was particularly enjoying the joy of family.
"By the way, grandpa, today is Newcastle's birthday, you'd better go over and accompany her!" Mia raised her head and said.
Monterey was moved in his heart. He had never felt this warm feeling since his first wife passed away.
Monterey didn't leave, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Mia: "Are you eighteen years old this year?"
"Grandpa, you are so forgetful. Didn't you celebrate Sister Mia's birthday last month? Why do you forget it now!" Lady said with a pout.
"Oh, yes, it's grandpa's forgetfulness." Monterey patted Latty's little head.
"Grandpa, I'm indeed eighteen years old this year." Mia answered honestly.
"Haha, that's what grandpa remembers correctly. Not enough, there's something for you. Let's go with me to the study." Monterey said, waved and asked Mia and Latty to go with him.
"Grandpa, you have given me enough gifts, so I'd better give them to me another day. If you don't go there, Newcasta will be really angry." Mia reminded again kindly, she dared not understand Newcasta's temper again.
"It's okay. I found some fireworks from abroad for her. She was having fun. I couldn't think of mine now!" Monterey said happily.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to see the gift, go see the gift!" Lady clapped her hands and screamed excitedly.
"You little damn!" Mia stuck out her tongue at Latti and made a face.
After arriving at the study, Monterey walked straight to the safe.
"Grandpa, you still locked such a mysterious gift in the safe?" Latie said curiously.
Monterey did not answer. After opening the safe, he took out a very old wooden box. The wooden box was not eye-catching when he saw it. However, it was red and had a mysterious light that made the person who saw it feel like he wanted to open it. Looking closer, there would be a very old beast above the wooden box, which was lifelike.
"Grandpa, is this?" Mia asked in confusion.
"This is what Grandpa wants to give you specifically." Monterey said solemnly, changing his happy expression just now.
"I gave it to me specifically?" Mia was completely confused.
"Eighteen years ago, when I picked you up, something appeared beside you, and when I picked you, there was a voice lingering in my ears, and I can't forget it until now." Monterey closed his eyes, as if he was recalling.
"You mean, I'm not an orphan, did my parents know I'm here?" Mia was excited.
"I don't know the specific ones. But when I picked up your servant and handed you to me, a voice echoed in my ears, telling me to adopt you, and then let me hand this box to you when you were eighteen years old." Monterey shook his head.
When he heard that there was still no news about his parents, Mia's expression became depressed again.
"That power is very mysterious, very powerful, and it is undeniable, so I adopted you. Later, I saw that you were also very well-behaved and clever, and I thought it was a gift from God to me!" Monterey continued.
Mia's mind was full of mystery of her own life experience, and she didn't hear Monterey saying "the mysterious voice in the dark".
"Then I don't want this box anymore. Since they don't want me anymore, what else do I want their gifts?" Mia said chokingly.
"You might as well open the box and take a look. Maybe there are clues about your life experience?" Monterey picked up the box and handed it to Mia.
"Grandpa, please help me see it. I really don't have the courage to see it." Mia pushed the box back.
Monterey smiled hoarsely and said helplessly: "But, I can't open this box!"
"No, I don't believe it!" Lady's curiosity had long been itchy with this box. She avoided the box and made trouble for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, Lady was frowning and handed the box to Mia, begging, "Sister Mia, I'd better leave it to you, I can't open it!"
Mia then hesitated to take the wooden box. He looked at it intently. The little beast on the box actually automatically made a secret. Because the seconds were too fast, Mia thought she was confused and shouted in surprise: "Grandpa, Lady, have you seen this little animal move just now?"
"Haha, I think you are so excited. Where are the animals?" Lady joked.
Monterey didn't laugh. Although he didn't look at the little animal carefully, he felt that the box was more complicated than he thought.
At this time, a few steps came, and it turned out that a servant was jogging in in a hurry.
"What's going on? Hurry?" Monterey said with a lesson when he saw that his servant was so rude.
"Miss Newcasta is in the garden... and says she can't find you everywhere... and go over and take a look." The servant said hesitantly.
"Bastard, what does it look like in front of the whole manor? I'll go over and take a look." After Monterey said that, he walked away with the servant.
"By the way, Latie, Mia, come here too!" Monterey said a word and hurriedly left.
Only Mia and Lati were left in the study.
"Sister Mia, please open it and take a look! I really want to know what is inside!" Laty finally waited for Monterey to leave, and couldn't wait to encourage Mia.
Mia said "um" and put the box on the desk with trepidation, then slowly tried to open it.
The moment her hand touched the little Rui Beast, the wooden box flashed with a red light and popped open automatically with a "pop"!
"Wow, it's so amazing. Look, what's inside!" Lady quickly stretched out her head to look.
It turned out that there was only one piece of jade lying in the center of the box.
Mia picked up the jade and turned it over. Apart from the green color, the stone was a little beautiful, there was nothing special about it, so she gave the stone to Lati, who was running around anxiously.
"Oh, it turns out to be just an ordinary stone, which is not as beautiful as the gems my grandfather collected!" Lady said disappointedly, playing with the small green stone.
"Ye?" Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a raised place, and she said in surprise: "It seems that there are words here!"
"Where is the word?" Mia asked hurriedly.
"I can't see clearly..." Lady said as she identified, "Get my grandfather's telescope...oh, no, it's a magnifying glass!"
When I took the magnifying glass, I saw that it was really two small characters.
"What is this?" Lady didn't recognize it either.
