652, persistence is right!
The Frozen City, the lower aristocratic area of the Sacred Mountain of Sgar
In a somewhat depressed and somewhat deserted aristocratic house, a small council room of less than 50 square meters was crowded with dozens of people, plus the maids who each brought to serve on the side, the number reached more than twenty.
"Breel, you called us, do you really plan to commit treason?" Everyone gathered around a small ice table, and a former nobleman said with a half-joking smile, if Brell dared to agree, then he would definitely take him away as soon as possible and invite him to the queen.
"Haha~ I bet Count Brell must want us to take her to make a fortune together, after all, their family looks really decayed~" Another former nobleman laughed.
In the past, like Breel's family, they were only earls, and they were not promoted to marquis or duke in their lifetime, and they even had to rely on the empire to support the whole family.
However, now, although the sudden order issued by the queen made them lose their titles, it gave them another way to survive, which greatly increased the strength and wealth of the family!
The people who were once nobles and now merchants who had almost been to the other world expressed their inner feelings.
It is not difficult to imagine that these businessmen who sighed now have wealth that they did not dare to think of in the past!
After the crown was promulgated and the title was exchanged for going to the other world to do business, less than two months apart issued a decree that you can go to the other world to do business, although the conditions for going to the other world are harsh and there are many restrictions, but in the face of great wealth, it is worth it!
For this reason, even the Martial Pole Merchants and Fierce Blade Merchants who traveled thousands of miles came to the Frozen City one after another to apply for a request to trade in the Otherworld!
"Haha~ This is not difficult~ With our relationship, as long as Count Brell gives up the title, we can immediately take Earl Brell family to the other world to make a fortune!" Another former nobleman spoke, "I heard that Earl Brell's granddaughter has been promoted to a magician at a young age, why don't you make do with my dog?"
"I promise to come to the marriage with a very valuable gift!"
Scold~
The old woman on crutches sneered disdainfully, and looked around with cold eyes, those so-called warm-hearted 'businessmen' were actually a group of guys chasing fame and fortune!
If she hadn't needed the help of these guys now, how could she have let these greedy wolves come to her home!
If Ollistine were here, he would find out that this old woman was not the same woman who had asked him and his grandmother to resurrect their ancestors.
"Bella is still young, and I don't want to find a husband for her so soon!" the old woman lukewarmly dispelled the news in the hearts of most of the people present.
"Then Breel, you came to us, is it just to chat? If that's just that, I think I still have some things, so I won't delay here. A former nobleman snorted coldly, and immediately left in a hurry.
There is no benefit, and time is still wasting here, so it is better to go back and prepare goods and food, ready to sell to the other world.
Seeing this, the other former nobles also took their leave, as the so-called no profit can not be early, they are like this, the first agreed to the Count of Brell to come, just with the hope of a possible marriage, so they came.
After all, Breel's family is down and depressed on par with them, the only difference is that Breel's granddaughter has a good talent, and she should be able to inherit Breel's title in the future!
And after they lost their noble titles, they lost a lot of nobles to have convenient conditions, if they can join forces with the nobles again in the future, then in terms of taxes and many restrictions of the empire, as long as they get a little relaxation, then their otherworldly trade routes, will get more wealth!
Soon the council chamber, which was full of guests, became extremely empty, and there were only three people present.
Brell and Breel's son and daughter, respectively.
"What to do, Mother, without the help of these merchants, then the price we have paid these days with the Elven Empress will be useless!" Breel's daughter not only grumbled.
Breel's family was once one of the merchant officials who followed the Ice and Snow Emperor's conquest, and when the Ice and Snow Empire was founded, it was also one of the top families of the Ice and Snow Empire at that time, and one of the financial dukes.
It's a pity that later, ease, slackness, and arrogance made the family decline little by little, although the descendants tried their best to save, but because the descendants of the heirs, there was no surprising talent, but their titles changed from dukes to marquises, and marquis became earls again.
If this generation can't have outstanding descendants, I'm afraid the position of earl will not be guaranteed~
Brell is old, and the strength of the Holy Rank is not nearly half of it.
If there are no descendants among the descendants who can break through to the Holy Rank, then when she enters the Ice Tomb, her family will be completely destroyed, or, like other nobles, give up her title and become a merchant.
This is the blasphemy of future generations for the glory of the ancestors!
"Don't be depressed, Gurnas, at least we don't have a choice now, do we?" Bell was also a little frustrated, and they sold everything in order to find a way to resurrect the ancestors.
As long as the ancestors are resurrected, they can be led back to the peak era, and at the same time, Bella's good talent can also be cultivated by the ancestors' exercises, and it is possible to enter the holy level in the future, and even the god level.
"How much is it missing?" Breel's eyes flashed with determination.
"There are still three Divine Souls left!" Bell was already desperate in his eyes, there was nothing left in the house to sell, and the Elven Empress's request was too difficult.
That's a whole ten thousand soul treasures!
As an earl's family, borrowing from all over the world and selling everything is just to get seven Divine Soul Soul Points, and the remaining three are still a huge loophole!
"I see! I'm going to the Duke's house. You don't have to go with you. As he spoke, Brell walked slowly out on crutches.
Yes!
Brell left, leaving the house with two terrified children.
Mother is going to Latina's house!
Brell thought as he walked, as the descendants of the once famous Meilan family, how sad they are now, the family is degraded, depressed, and even they dare not say that they are members of the Meilan family when they go out.
For fear that other nobles would show disdain, because the former Meilan family was a pillar of ice and snow, and the Latin family was equally divided, and they did not like each other, and controlled the empire's finances and internal affairs respectively, but it was because of their slackness and comfort, as well as arrogance, that they finally changed rashly, making the Meilan family down.
And the Latin family is the dominant family in the Ice and Snow Empire!
In the DPRK, they controlled the power, and the country gradually replaced them, and the Meilan family took control of the economic power.
The more I thought about it, the more desolate Breel's heart became!
Could it be that their Meilan family pays attention to talent and cultivation, is this a wrong path?
The Latin family has always focused on their status in the empire, rather than talent and cultivation, so the strength of the Latin family has always been neither high nor low, and they are in a medium position, but their power is only below the cold royal family!
From ancient times to the present, it has not changed!
But they Merlan ...
She couldn't understand that talent and cultivation determine the status of a family, even if the Latin family can have a lot of power in the empire, but the mainland is respected by cultivation after all, and it is ugly to say.
The Latin family came out of the Ice and Snow Empire, what did they count?
That's why.
Therefore, the Latin family era paid attention to cultivating talented women, and tutored the Ice and Snow Empress for generations, so that the family will survive forever.
And what about the Merlin family? When the empire was first established, it was indeed on an equal footing with the Latin family, but they just thought too much, hoping that they would still be able to gain a foothold on the continent after they might break away from the Ice and Snow Empire in the future!
So in the end I was down...
Brell didn't know that there was a saying that there was a specialization in the art industry, and their Meilan family gave up what they were best at business, and instead chose to focus on talent and cultivation, which is not wrong! Cultivation is indeed very important! But in the early stage, it may be possible to take care of both, but what about later?
If the Meilan family could take care of business, or both, then they wouldn't be so depressed now, maybe the duke still exists.
It's a pity.
There are very few persistent people in the world, and there is nothing wrong with being persistent, but when an obsessive elder asks the people below to give up their own advantages and counterattack other shortcomings, then the family is already doomed.
Perseverance also has to choose a good path!
