Chapter 130 The grudges between two generations (fourth update, please give me a monthly ticket)
"The reason why clichéd plots are clichéd is, first of all, because the drama conflict is strong enough, and secondly, because it is based on reality, and the people like to hear it. You think the plot is ridiculous, but look at the joys and sorrows in reality, it is no more stupid than the script of a novel. Blood, even more illogical?”
Gao Fei said to Jiang Nuxia with a smile.
"Of course, this kind of bloody plot is inevitably cliche. People with a little experience can guess how the plot will develop next after watching the beginning with their eyes closed."
"However, if you think about it from another perspective, no one will be young forever, but there will always be a shortage of young people. We feel that this kind of plot is too old-fashioned. I am afraid it is because we are already old and no longer belong to the target customer group of game script creators."
Gao Fei gave a bitter smile and continued: "When you were a cute little girl and saw this kind of drama for the first time in a bubble drama or a romance novel, weren't you moved to tears with snot in your nose?"
"That's not true!" Jiang Feng solemnly clarified, "When I was a cute little girl, when I saw such ridiculous scenes, I would complain while watching them!"
"Then you read ten romance novels of the same kind in a row?"
"Ah...this...these are two different things! You hate it! I won't tell you anymore!"
Gao Fei smiled considerately and got back to the topic.
"Judging from the melancholy expression on Somo's face, it seems that this silly boy still cannot accept the reality - his master Rubio Lopez is actually his half-brother."
"How can there be such a stupid person in reality? This is not all necessary for the plot, forcibly reducing intelligence!" Jiang Feng complained angrily.
"Anyway, let's see what kind of sparks they will create after their brothers reunite." Gao Fei said thoughtfully, "I have a bad feeling."
"What a coincidence, isn't it? I also have a bad premonition!" Jiang Feng couldn't help it, "No matter how many things there are, let's hurry up!"
…
The anti-bandit campaign came to a successful conclusion, and Sumo returned triumphantly as Baron Lopez. He was commended by General Rodriguez and the Lord, and was awarded the First Class War Hero Medal.
The impatient Jiang Nuxia spent a burst of astrolabe energy to quickly skip these social scenes.
As soon as the game screen changed, the stage switched to the Lopez family's manor living room.
After returning from the army, Somo changed into the uniform of a servant and presented the medals he won on the battlefield to Master Rubio, asking him to fulfill his promise to return the copper collar he had seized, destroy the deed of betrayal, and give him his freedom.
As expected by Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, Rubio Lopez turned his back and claimed that he was more qualified than Somo to own the copper collar.
"You are so shameless!" Sumo couldn't bear it and asked Rubio face to face, "The collar is a relic of my mother, why do you say such things!"
"Yes, the collar is a relic of my mother." Rubio stood up with a sneer, staring into Somo's eyes and said, "But she is not just your mother, my stupid brother!"
In fact, Sumo had already had a premonition, but when he heard Rubio admit to his face that he was his half-brother, he couldn't help being deeply shocked and speechless.
Rubio picked up the copper collar on the table and took out a threaded ruby from his pocket, which could fit right into the screw hole in the center of the collar!
"What's going on..."
Realizing that the necklace inlaid with ruby sparked an unusually strong magical resonance, Soma's expression changed.
Rubio put the collar back on the table, put his hands behind his back and turned to Somo. After being lost in thought for a long time, he broke the silence and recalled the past.
"The mother resented her father for having an affair after marriage, and abandoned her son who had just turned one year old, leaving only this ruby as a proof of the bloodline between mother and son. She ran away from home alone and later reportedly entered a monastery."
"The boy she left behind gradually grew up, and his entire childhood was shrouded in shadow. His only spiritual sustenance was the hope of finding his mother one day."
"Day after day, year after year, the boy finally grew up. He learned from his wet nurse about the whereabouts of his biological mother after she ran away from home, and then went to the monastery alone to visit. However, when he finally got there after all the hard work, all he saw was A ruin destroyed by fire.”
"The boy asked the locals about the monastery and learned that the monastery was set on fire and looted by bandits ten years ago, and most of the nuns were killed. His last illusion was shattered."
"The boy thought his mother had died in the fire and returned home with a broken heart."
"Many years passed like this, and suddenly one day, he found a young man who looked very similar to himself in the arena. He also saw a copper collar on his neck that was exactly the same as what the nanny had described - the one who was taken away by his mother. That collar!”
"Later, after some investigation, he finally learned that his mother did not die in the fire more than ten years ago, but escaped from the monastery and married a foreigner from the East!"
Speaking of this, Rubio Lopez couldn't help but clenched his fists and his eyes were full of anger.
"He was deeply ashamed of his mother's remarriage, not to mention marrying a foreigner of humble origin. All this made him feel sick, as if he had been betrayed in the most shameless way!"
"From that moment on, he was determined to forget his mother and the family ties that once haunted him."
"Despite this, he still paid a large sum of money to redeem his half-brother from the arena and arranged for him to be his substitute."
Rubio slowly turned around and looked at Somo with extremely complicated eyes.
"To be honest, when I sent you to join the army, I originally expected you to die on the battlefield and be done with it."
"But I never expected that you would not only come back alive, but also become a respected war hero, a young man appreciated by the Lord and the General."
Su Mo's achievements on the battlefield deeply shocked Rubio Lopez, who was embarrassed and panicked.
If the matter was exposed, the Sevinians would know that the hero on the battlefield was just a substitute, and the real Baron Lopez did not participate in the anti-bandit war at all. He would become a laughing stock and a cowardly dandy in people's eyes!
Rubio was even more afraid that Su Mo's life experience would be exposed.
If the Lord and the General knew that Su Mo had at least half of his noble blood from his mother's side, but was now used as a slave by his half-brother, and stole the honor that his younger brother had won on the battlefield, whether it was because of their respect for Su Mo or just out of the sense of honor of the aristocracy, they would definitely come forward to uphold justice!
At the very least, Rubio will be ordered to return the military merits and medals that should have belonged to his brother, as well as half of the property inherited from his mother, and Su Mo's noble status will be restored, and he will be entrusted with important tasks.
More seriously, it is not ruled out that he will be deprived of his baronial title on the charge of fraud and abuse of his brother, and the title will be given to Su Mo instead!
If it really comes to that, Rubio Lopez's life will be ruined.
