Chapter 254: The distinction between public and private is clear

After Sophia disappeared from the guild, she arrived at the streets of Bright City in an instant, and the people around her dispersed with a bang, looking at this young girl who suddenly appeared in amazement.

"It seems that this magic is still not mastered well, and this teleportation is a bit off. Sophia stuck out her tongue and disappeared again.

"Did you notice that woman just now? Why is it a little like the eldest lady I haven't seen for a long time, but I don't know what magic is used to be so magical. A man dressed as a servant next to him turned to his companion and said.

"What do you mean by something like that, that's Miss, I'll go and inform the head of the family, you hurry back to the family!" the other person hurriedly ran towards the magic branch here.

Sophia came to the family again, but when she arrived at the main hall, she didn't see her grandfather, she went around the clan, except for a few people who had never seen her, she didn't see any clansmen, and she was very surprised, could it be that they all moved?

The previous servant ran in in a hurry, looked for a while and saw Sophia's figure, hurriedly stepped forward and said breathlessly, "Miss...... Are you ...... You're looking for the head of the house, right?"

"Ah Si, why is there no one else in the family?, where has Grandpa gone?" Sophia saw someone she knew, and a series of questions were finally settled.

"Miss doesn't know, now there is no one in the clan all day, most of the clan works in the guild, and only comes back in the evening, and there is also a place to stay, and sometimes when they are busy, they rest there all night. The head of the family went to the guild early in the morning to preside over the work, and there were a lot of things happening today, and the capable people in the clan were all called. The servant called Ah Si explained.

"Okay, I know, grandpa is not free now, I'll go directly to him. Sophia explained a few words and teleported to the city's branch again.

"Another building like this?" Sophia was speechless as she looked at the towering Mage Tower.

There were already people waiting at the door, and when they saw Sophia, they led her straight to the office on the top floor, where Benjamin was worried about the group of people kneeling below. Sophia noticed that most of these people were from her clan, and some of them were her elders, but the blood relationship was already very weak.

"Grandpa, are you so busy?" Sophia ignored the men and walked straight to Benjamin's seat, smiling and rubbing his shoulders.

"Good boy, it's been a long time since you've come to see me, an old bone. Benjamin's smiling face immediately bloomed when he saw his baby granddaughter, and his two small eyes combined with the surrounding wrinkles squeezed into two chrysanthemums.

"Look at what you said, you didn't come to the banquet last time, and I blame me for not coming to see you. What is Grandpa up to?" Sophia glanced at the clansmen below, not knowing what they had done and had to kneel down to deal with it.

Benjamin sighed, removed Sophia's hands from his shoulders, and said helplessly: "This matter is not something you did with those girls." ”

"What's wrong?" Sophia didn't understand, could it be because of the new rules made by the three sisters?

It turned out that these kneeling clansmen at the bottom had recently relied on the status of the family and their own strength to force the daughter of an ordinary family to marry a young man in the clan. The family did not dare to disobey and agreed to the marriage, but the girl did not agree. Taking advantage of the night, the girl followed her lover to elope, but was discovered by the clansmen, the man was slaughtered, the woman was forcibly abducted, and finally forced to commit suicide. The family was reluctant to come to the door to complain, and many mercenaries who heard about the incident supported them, so Benjamin paid a lot of gold coins according to the law, and severely reprimanded the clansmen who participated in the matter.

Originally, the matter was resolved satisfactorily here, but at this time, the Magic Guild issued new regulations, and each branch released the new rules. Benjamin's approach was obviously not satisfactory to the family, and he had no choice but to summon all his people to discuss how to deal with the matter. It just so happened that Sophia came, and Benjamin had the heart to let her know, so he didn't call these people down.

"A bunch of brutes!" Sophia listened with a burst of anger. She didn't have much contact with the affairs of the clan since she was a child, thinking that they would bully others at most and take advantage of them, so as not to cause trouble, but she didn't expect them to be so lawless.

"Ahem...... No matter what they say, it's also our family, not to mention your elders. Benjamin reminded loudly.

"That's a bunch of ......," Sophia said after a pause, "bandits!"

"Okay, now that you're clear about the matter, let's talk about what to do?"

"Of course, it was brought to justice, killing people paid for their lives, not to mention the robbery of people's daughters. The person in charge should be sentenced to death, and the person who committed it should be imprisoned for several years. Sophia said mercilessly.

As soon as these words came out, the clansmen below begged for mercy and shouted: "Miss spare your life, we won't dare next time!"

Benjamin also had a headache and said, "Good boy, the old man knows that you have been kind since you were a child, and there is no room for sand in your eyes." These people deserve to die, but after all, they are our family members of the same clan and clan, and it is okay to punish them, but it is a bit too much to deal with them directly, right? Lin Qian is not here, and the decree that you girls have made up is really too harsh. ”

The clansmen's begging for mercy, coupled with the persuasion of her grandfather, if it was the usual Sophia, maybe she would have relented. But this time she came on behalf of the entire guild, and her original intention was to let her grandfather respond to the new decree and set an example, where would there be the slightest concession?

"Grandpa, do you know why I'm here this time?" Sophia found a seat and sat down, her tone lacking her previous gentleness, "It's for the implementation of the new law, I want our family to take the lead in complying with it, so that we can convince the various families." Not to mention that we are still law enforcers, and if we do not enforce the law strictly, we will give people authority, and I don't want to be embarrassed in front of my sisters. ”

Benjamin frowned, he had always understood this granddaughter, and knew that it was impossible to persuade her to give up directly, so he had to dismiss everyone first, leaving Sophia alone, and then closed the door and whispered: "Child, I ask you." What happened to Lin Qian?"

Sophia dodged Benjamin's scrutinizing gaze and said forcefully, "Grandpa, don't you know? ”

Benjamin laughed out loud when he heard this: "I watched you grow up this girl since she was a child, and you will tell me when you lie." Lin Qian, is he ...... Hidden?"

"I know you still ask!" Sophia said coquettishly unconvinced, how could she be so easily seen through, "But Lin said before leaving, he will indeed come back for a long time, and the affairs of the guild will be left to the three of us." ”

"Do you know where he is?"

"I don't know, he won't let us go to him, he just said that it would be good to send some people to make a show, and I don't know where he is hiding. Sophia was upset when she mentioned it.

Benjamin guessed in his heart that they had only been married for less than a year, and they would definitely be reluctant to be separated from each other, and Sophia would be a little resentful in her heart.

"Then you tell me, is it Lin Qian's idea to revise the decree?"

"Yes. But...... Lin just mentioned it, and the rest was done by the three of us, and we offended a lot of people for this, and Sister Xiaoyi was in the way. He's good, he's handed over this mess to us, and he's going to be merry and happy. Sophia began to express her dissatisfaction.

Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lin Qian hadn't condemned this matter to death, there would be room for maneuver: "So, those rules were all drawn up by you three little girls? You guys are really nonsense, don't you know that you have to take your time in everything? Magicians in this world have existed for a long time, and the privileges they enjoy have been there since the family era." After the first imperial king unified the entire continent, he didn't dare to cancel the privileges of magicians without permission, let alone a guild that had only been established for three years?"

"But we're still scared of ......"

Benjamin waved his hand to stop her, and then asked, "Let me ask you, did Lin Qian really hand over the entire guild to the three of you?"

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyi is in charge, and Long'er and I will assist. ”

"This Lin Qian, a maid actually pressed my precious granddaughter. Benjamin muttered quietly, muttered for a while, then raised his head and said, "Girl, there should be a lot of people who oppose your decree, right?"

Sophia nodded, and told her grandfather everything that happened in the morning, including the collective resignation of the elders of those guilds.

"And what do you think about it?" asked Benjamin with a smile.

"Those old guys know that they rely on the old and sell the old, and they are all brainless, they don't know how to be flexible at all, and it's okay to leave, otherwise they will always stay in the guild, and they don't know what kind of chaos will be added. Sophia said, and her eyes turned to Benjamin.

Benjamin's face was a little unbearable, it turned out that this girl was taking the opportunity to talk about herself, and said unhappily: "If you look at it from your own point of view, naturally they are wrong." Then what do they think of you? Don't listen to what you say, and insist on going your own way? Or do you hold on to power and act recklessly? I see that the three of you are becoming more and more lawless because of Lin Qian's absence, and this time no matter what, you have to go back and discuss it with them again. ”

"I'm not going back, and if I want to go back, I'll have to wait for my grandfather to deal with those robbers. Sophia's temper also came up, and she insisted on what she thought was right, just as she had always opposed Benjamin's taking in Calvin, who was studying necromancy.

"Child, you are not in charge and do not know the responsibility. You have no worries about food and clothing over there, and you will naturally not understand my difficulties. Is it true that one day if I commit a crime, do you still want to punish me, an old bone?" Benjamin persuaded for a long time but it was still ineffective, and he was a little helpless, so he had to use this trick to pressure her.

"I don't care," Sophia said angrily, "Anyway, I came this time on the orders of Sister Xiaoyi, no matter who these people are, they will definitely be punished for doing these bad things." Grandpa, if you have any opinions, you can talk to him when Lin comes back. ”
