Chapter 20 Chapter 7 Surrender Rites

Sasha also changed into a formal dress today, put away his fat belly again and again, stood upright and opened the front door for them, and then took a step forward and officially announced, "Your Excellency is here." It made Gu Hanhan very nervous, and he could hardly tell whether to take the left foot or the right foot first. Anthony was very casual, grabbed Gu Hanhan's arm, and walked out.

When he went out, he found that all the people in the gallery had already stood, and Rossi had finished talking to the old man and stood with the richly dressed men and women. There were twelve of them, standing on either side of the gallery in a very solemn posture, and Rossi was the first on the left. Each of them has a secret knowledge of energy ring circulation on their fingers, and they should be the high-level superpowers of the Yves family. The white-haired old man stood alone in the center of the corridor, with several attendants behind him, and the two attendants standing at the front each held a tray, one of which contained an ancient secret book placed in an open box, which was the family emblem of the Rossi family. In another tray is a transparent ball with liquid metal flowing.

One and the second of the valets also each held a tray and stood less than three feet in front of the old man. Between them, there is enough distance for passage. In the tray in the hand of one of the valets, there was still the envelope, but it had been re-ironed, and it was thinly spread out above the cover. The tray on the second hand of the valet was temporarily empty, except for a cushion with tassels and precious stones at the four corners.

Anthony let go of Gu Hanhan, asked her to wait aside, and continued to move forward. He passed through one of the valets and the second of the valets, and stopped just a step away from the old man.

So the old man gave the staff to his attendant, who helped him take off the outermost layer of his gown, decorated with medals and precious stones, revealing a solid undershirt decorated with no worldly wealth or honor. Then, he bent down on his knee and knelt down in front of Anthony.

One of the valets brought the tray to Anthony, who glanced at the payment of the book in the tray and said slowly, "Rojeves—"

However, as soon as he pronounced a name, he suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed downward, and fell on the face of the elegant old man who was half-kneeling in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. This made the solemn atmosphere in the corridor suddenly become solemn, and the eyes of the senior superpowers of the Yves family on both sides trembled with nervousness. The old man is also a little nervous in his heart, the mood of adults is always changeable and elusive, maybe the last second is still pampered, the next second is very disgusted. Although Rogeif's inner nervousness was not evident with his longer age and tempered aristocratic demeanor, he felt that it was difficult for him to maintain the gaze required by etiquette for a long time when he was looked down at by such a condescending gaze.

Fortunately, Anthony was silent for long. He seemed to let out a self-deprecating chuckle, then withdrew his gaze and continued, "Rojief, the patriarch of the Yves family, are you willing to subordinate the Yves family to me and become my subordinate family without reservation?"

Rogeuves secretly breathed a sigh of relief and replied in a calm and calm tone: "I do." Behind him, an attendant with a tray stepped forward and presented the family crest of the Yves family.

Anthony turned his face to look at Gu Hanhan. This time, Gu Hanhan finally became smarter, and he didn't need to remind himself to know how to take out the secret certificate. The second valet brought the secret to Anthony with a tray and pillow. Anthony put on the tantra and put his hand in front of Rodgeif. Rossi's reverent kiss on the burning emblem of Anthony's hand, and then very respectfully put the family emblem of the Yves family on Anthony's middle finger.

The moment the clan emblem and the secret book touched, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out, and the two emblems fused together, and then separated again. In the center of the Yves family crest, there is a striking red ring. And the emblem of Anthony's secret book seems to have changed slightly, making it look more complicated and gorgeous.

Anthony turned his hand to one of the valets, who carefully removed the two tantras one after the other. They folded the letter and sealed it with Antony's secret seal in the central seal, with the family crest of the Yves family printed on the upper left corner of the back. Then, one of the valets carried the letter on a tray, starting from Rossi, the first person on the left, and passing through each of the high-level superpowers of the Yves family, who personally printed their personal notes on the bottom of the letter. After everyone had printed it, he returned to Anthony. The second valet put the secret card back on Anthony's finger, and then walked to Rogheif's side with the family crest of the Yves family and stopped.

Rodjeef's face had been tilted up and buried deep in Anthony, the back of his neck completely exposed by the movement. So Yves's attendant with the metal ball stepped forward and knelt down, and two other attendants assisted him, one used a sharp needle knife to make a very thin small opening in the back of Rossives's neck, and the other used a special implant pump to suck a full amount of smart metal from the metal ball, and the implant head cut into the thin opening on the back of Rodgeyves's neck, and quietly waited for the metal to solidify into a chip for 30 seconds.

Those thirty seconds were the longest and most torturous wait Rossiif had ever spent in half his life. Thirty seconds later, a fluttering "yes" or "no" can determine the future of the Yves family. It is not only his personal fate, but more importantly, the position and interests that the Yves family can occupy in the future of all the subordinate families.

The last item of the surrender ceremony, in order to show the absolute submission and loyalty of the Hu Cong to the master, the patriarch of the Hu Cong family will be implanted with a control chip. This is a ritual that can be dispensed with by the owner's mood, as long as he says "no" after the chip is molded and before the implantation begins. Obviously, families that can be exempted will have more trust and a higher internal status.

Rojeif didn't have any extravagant hopes for this, after all, he was Lord Criticus, who had become a powerful being of legend ten years ago, but he couldn't help but have extravagant hopes in his heart. So, he survived the thirty seconds even more tormented and tangled, preparing to meet the fate he was bound to meet. However, Anthony had no intention of making him suffer longer, or just to end it sooner, after the chip was formed, he just glanced at it and said, "Don't bother, just excuse me." I bestow this honor on you. ”

The great ecstasy focused on Rogheif in a moment, and he bent down deeply, thanking his master for his kindness. The same joy and gratitude permeated the other high-level superpowers of the Yves family, and no one except Rosie expected such a wonderful outcome. The second valet placed the family crest of Yves' family on the ground in front of Rossives, he put the family crest on his hand, saluted again, and then stood up. As is customary in the ceremony, Anthony hugged him on the shoulder.

"Please allow Rosie to be by your side, my lord," Rojeiv said, "He's a guardian who has just recently broken through level seven, or could be useful to you." He looked at his heir, and Rossi walked over and knelt on one knee in a very standard and elegant aristocratic manner.

"For the time being, it can stay with me for a while, about a year. Anthony said as he held out his hand to Rossi. This means that he accepts Rosie as his highest servant and regards him as his partner. This is an even rarer gift and courtesy, which is usually only available to those who have grown up with their masters and have personal friendships. But in the guardian system, it is also a matter of course.

Rossi took Anthony's hand and stood up.

"In a year's time, you will pass on the family crest of the Yves family to Rossi," Anthony ordered, "and besides, during this year, no matter what has become my servant shall be revealed." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"You can step down. ”

After speaking, Anthony handed his arm to Gu Hanhan and held it, and left the corridor directly with her.

Gu Hanhan was probably shocked by this surrender ceremony full of gorgeous sense of ceremony and sacred religion, and she didn't make any mistakes during the whole process, and when she returned to the living room, after the Yves family was blocked out by the carved wooden door, she suddenly became excited, shaking Anthony to ask east and west, and showed obvious envy that was dazed.

"It's a good cow fork and a high-grade feeling, when can I come once!"

"You?" Anthony glanced at Gu Hanhan and sneered, "You don't have to think about this, you will never have this day." ”

"Hate, hate, don't look down on people so much! I'll ignore you!"

Gu Hanhan was so angry that he turned around and ran away. But after less than two minutes, she was relieved, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Anthony had said, and that the secret was still in Antony's hands and that she was not coming back, so she ran back again, and asked East and West.

"Anthony, in the beginning, it was Uncle Rossi's uncle, that Rogheif—why did you suddenly stop talking after calling someone's name?

Anthony and the other valet took off his dress for him, sat down slowly, and hesitated for a long time before confessing: "Actually...... I told you that I haven't revisited this game in years...... Who can remember those awkward standard words that haven't been used for six or seven years?"

Gu Hanhan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed so hard that he only kicked his legs: "You forgot the words, Anthony, you even have a time when you forget the words, haha, look at you next time in front of your sister to be a school bully!"

After laughing for a while, Gu Hanhan suddenly remembered something that he didn't understand, so he put away his smile and asked Anthony: "...... that metal ball?"

"That's the biochip," Anthony replied, "and the master has the power to put a chip on them, whether it's an attendant or a servant, and that's what happens in the official ceremony." ”

"Then why didn't you pretend to him?"

"Because it's useless. Anthony smiled and said, "You don't know about the superpower family, Hanhan." For them, at critical moments, the life and death of the individual are not considered at all. ”

"And what about Anderson? He's not a superpower family, you didn't seem to mention it at the time. ”

Anthony laughed out loud this time: "The biochip is even more useless to him." Because businessmen are known for asking for money and not dying.

Gu Hanhan touched the heavy pendant on his chest: "But Su Daqian seems to say that his vassal family has control of radio waves." ”

"Su Yu is different, Hanhan, he has been level eight almost since he was born. He may not have been twelve years old when most of his subordinates surrendered to him. Therefore, it is impossible for him to think about this kind of problem at all, and his qiē will inevitably be arranged according to the most standard ritual. But in essence, his vassal family is loyal to him not because of biochips. At this, Anthony's expression became solemn and distant.

"The biochip does not bring any loyalty, it only brings slaves, and useless slaves. Anthony sighed, "Hanhan, you should remember that strength itself is the root of this qiē. ”

This sentence directly hit the most secret place in Gu Hanhan's heart that she didn't dare to touch, she looked at Anthony, and then remembered the chip on the back of his head.
