Chapter 45: Conspiracy and Betrayal
Sherlock's body was shaking, shaking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Even when eating, his wife found that her husband, who was usually very picky, actually made a hearty meal in the kitchen.
The poor lady and her three poorly dressed children watched with some horror as they sat at the dinner table in a daze.
The body trembled and Sherlock giggled twice from time to time.
Sherlock's wife, Eugenie, hesitated for a long time and then walked up to her husband's side, nudged him twice, and asked worriedly
"Sherlock, Sherlock? Are you alright?"
Sherlock woke up from his fantasies, looked at his wife and children with fear and worry on their faces, laughed, pushed his chair away and left the dining room.
Left behind a family that looked at each other.
Sherlock only thought of the conversation between the young Count of Monte Cristo and himself.
I couldn't help myself with excitement, and the young man provoked his ambition with just one sentence!
"Do you want to replace Sika Bloom as the biggest nobleman in the Emerald City?"
Become a nobleman like Lord Sika?
Sherlock's breath quickened.
This is the dream of all the nobles of the Emerald City!
Although the Emerald City is located in the cold north, compared to the super cities in the south, which often have hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of people, it is only a city with a population of tens of thousands.
But it still bears the name of the Ten Cities of the Northland!
The largest nobles in the Emerald City can participate in the Ten Cities Conference and participate in the distribution of various resources.
Sika died, the guard who watched Sika die that night swore by it
Lord Sika died under the thunder bombardment, and with the loud noise heard by half the city that night, even those who had doubts about Sika's death could only suppress their doubts in their hearts.
And Sika's death meant that his place was vacant.
Except for Sika, a second-class nobleman in the Emerald City, they are all third-class nobles!
No one among the second-class nobles wanted to come to this bitter cold place.
They prefer to stay in the warm, comfortable, and prosperous south, and in the mouths of those people, they contemptuously call the ten northern cities "places of exile." ”
Therefore, the deputy city lord can only be elected from among these third-class nobles.
Sherlock didn't think it would be his turn to be the vice-lord anyway.
But the young nobleman's words gave him hope, especially when he learned from the southern merchants who had come to the Emerald City by chance.
Among the thirteen super-class nobles, there are only two families belonging to the Xia family, namely the Jiang family and the Ye family, among which the personality of the eldest young master of the Ye family is very similar to that young nobleman.
Other words.... The eldest young master of the Ye family is willing to support himself!
Thinking of this, Sherlock was filled with awe.
Thirteen super-nobles! They made great contributions to the conquest of the world by the Draconians, and were divided into super-nobles! Each family has its own private army and a huge private territory!
Their relationship with the Draco people can even be replaced by the word equality!
Sherlock's beauty is going to bubble.
Li Fan's request for a reward was surprisingly small, and he actually only wanted to be his spokesperson!
God, Sherlock thought that he would have to pay more than half of his family fortune, or even sign a contract to become a servant, in order to meet the nobleman's demands.
I didn't expect it to be so simple.
Becoming the spokesperson of the super-nobles, Sherlock began to tremble at the thought of this.
So many years .... Is our Grande Sherlock family finally turning over!
.........................
The Celestial Dragon Empire, the Territory of the Little Star, and the Holy City of Mary Joy.
A mansion that covers an extremely large area and is carved and painted, and passers-by all look at the majestic façade of the mansion with awe and envy.
The guards standing guard at the gate had high chests and proud and complacent.
Who doesn't know that the Ye family, one of the thirteen super-class nobles, is the most powerful person in the city?
In the heavily guarded center of the Ye Mansion, Ye Jiangnan, the contemporary patriarch of the Ye family, looked at the core members of the family around him, with irrepressible excitement and excitement on his face
"It is an extremely important matter to gather the core of your family here today.
According to the legacy of our ancestors, when the flame lit by the torch can be erected half a meter high, it is the opportunity to start the revival project!
A core member asked suspiciously
"Master, what does it mean that the flame lit by the torch can be erected half a meter high?
Could this have something to do with my Ye family's perennial burning brazier?
And why have we never heard of this revival project?"
Ye Jiangnan was silent for a while, looked at the core members below who were also full of doubts, and said slowly
"Because this is a top secret that can only be known by the patriarchs of the past generations!
The ancestor once left his last words, my Ye family used to be the top family of a huge country, and then when the world changed greatly, the ancestor had a dispute with others.
The Ancestors believed that only by surrendering to those disgusting lizardmen for the time being, and then keeping the fire and slowly trying to figure it out in the future, could we protect our people.
But the others did not agree, and they insisted on resisting to the end.
So the ancestors made it easy for others to part ways, took refuge in the Tianlong people, and endured humiliation. In the end, I was depressed!
Before he died, he erected a huge brazier in his house, and ordered that the height of the brazier's flame be measured every year.
Only when the flame exceeds half a meter can the final receptacle be carried out, and this is the revival plan!
You all know about your family's school, right?"
Everyone nodded hurriedly
Ye Jiangnan narrowed his eyes
"It's also part of the revival plan, which is called the Seed Plan. There are a lot of people who have questioned why something inexplicable is always taught in schools, and now you can see it!
Because they are all the seeds of our Ye family! They are indispensable for the revival plan!"
After Ye Jiangnan finished speaking, the whole room was silent.
It was a long time before someone whispered
"Are we going to fight those Celestial Dragons in the future?"
A blush of excitement appeared on Ye Jiangnan's face
"Why not! You are afraid of the Celestial Dragons because you have not read about the power of the ancestors in the books!
If it weren't for the great changes in heaven and earth, it would be impossible for these lizardmen to defeat us!
As long as we have the power of our ancestors, it will be easy for us to defeat the Celestial Dragons!"
Then he brought out a carefully guarded wooden box.
Open it carefully.
Took out a few powerful books that had been yellowed, and a thick stack of drawings.
Take a deep breath
"Our ancestors have done a detailed study of the revival plan, and he has done everything we have to do every step of the way for us descendants.
Right now.... According to the first step of the revival plan...."
Ye Jiangnan became serious. Take out a piece of the head of the house token, which symbolizes authority
"Extract the family elite! Mobilize the hidden power of the family and go all out to develop this thing called the steam engine!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly
"Yes!"
After the others left, Ye Jiangnan's son Ye Wen asked cautiously
"Dad, do we really want to defeat the Draconians and free these slaves as the ancestors said?
I don't want to free the slaves!"
Ye Jiangnan sneered twice
"Emancipate the slaves, why emancipate them? The ancestors are outdated, I really don't understand, with the power of the ancestors, why should I say anything equal to those slaves!
Don't worry, son, once we defeat the Celestial Dragons, we will be the new masters of this huge territory!"
