Chapter 2: The Succession Conference of the Ghost Castle
The castle of the Einzberen family is magnificent and beautiful.
Against the backdrop of the alpine snow, the white-haired characters who entered and left one by one looked very peaceful. Harmonic.
In fact, there is a reason why the Einzberen family is here.
The first patriarch of Einzbelen was a highly accomplished female magician, who risked his life to obtain the Holy Grail, a relic of the great Jesus, so the great patriarch came here to establish the castle of Einzbelen to study the Holy Grail.
Although he finally put his life into it, what he got was absolutely extraordinary - a very large research institute appeared under the castle of the Einzberen family, which has all kinds of equipment that is still leading the world until now, has very advanced technology, and has very ......
This is also an important reason why the Einzberen family has been mixed up since then.
Person. The technology is extracted from the Holy Grail, but the conditions for opening the Holy Grail are very strange - it takes the souls of the seven most evil people to open it.
According to the first patriarch, this is because the Holy Grail contains terrible evils that can pollute the whole world, and these sins exist in the form of sludge and countless various molecular atoms.
Those seven souls are used to form formations, and only the successive patriarchs and the enacting heirs of the patriarchs can form formations and open the Holy Grail.
The Holy Grail is said to have the things that every patriarch desperately needs, and these things are definitely needed by the patriarchs of that generation, and they are inexhaustible. But I don't know why, I can only take out a certain amount at a time, and more will not work.
The underground research institute is constantly researching new things and trying to produce new things. These new things can lead the world for a long time, and it can be said that if any of these things are left in the world, it will definitely cause a political incident. The Great Revolution of Science and Technology.. Life.

Liu Fei pulled his family's internal wife Yang Lingxue in a slim thin windbreaker in a couple's outfit and appeared in front of the castle in Einz Bellen, Liu Fei's navy blue dress and Yang Lingxue's khaki dress did not seem very social. However, the characteristics and identities of the two people allowed them to pass unhindered, because Liu Fei was the heir designated by the patriarch.
Liu Fei is not the most powerful of all the descendants of the Einzberen family, but he is the most powerful among the descendants, because there is only one man in the descendants. But the family tradition protects Liu Fei's legal inheritance, so that Liu Fei does not have to spend any trouble for intrigue.
……
Although Liu Fei is not very optimistic about the murderous Turkish inheritance law, Liu Fei still calmly accepts this reality.

The succession meeting in the castle was not attended by many people, except for the entire Einzberren family, and only one emissary from the Queen of England attended. This place was created because the first patriarch of the House of Einzberen admired King Arthur very much, and this tradition has continued for thousands of years.
……
The elder Einzberen and Liu Fei were invited to the stage respectively, and although the lights above their heads were not high-tech, they were very bright and energy-efficient. Because the Einzberen family castle has no external power supply, it all relies on a few hydrogen fuel cells. The storage capacity of these hydrogen fuel cells is not very abundant, so this requires a very economical use of electricity.
Fortunately, the scientific and technological background of the Einzberen family is not bad, at least the energy-saving incandescent lamps developed are indeed very energy-saving.
At the beginning, Old Ernst was scolded by his father, who had not yet abdicated, but after Old Ernst took this patent and went out to weaken it and made a lot of money, Old Ernst's father was not calm, so he had the opportunity to become the patriarch.
……
In addition to the banquet utensils in the castle hall, there is also a Mercedes-Schmidt ME-262II fighter that was the favorite of old Ernst. A gesture of favor for old Ernst.
On the other hand, Liu Fei liked a UH-60 "Black Hawk" multi-purpose armed helicopter when he had not penetrated the honor mission space before, which was something researched by the Einzberen Research Laboratory, and it was definitely more than a little better than the genuine Black Hawk.

Old Ernst stepped up to the microphone and began to speak: "During my time as patriarch of the Einzberen family, I am under the care of all of you. Especially with the help of my brother Udet von Einzberen, who unfortunately died young, but he passed on his son Hermann von Einzbelen to me. Then, I will pass on my patriarchship to Hermann von Einzberen. As a reward for my brother's help to me.
In my last years as a patriarch, I would like to tell you that the happiest time of my life was the time I spent working with you.
You're all my colleagues or friends, and we've spent those gray years together (in this case, World War II, the Cold War, and a series of financial crises), and we've all done our best. Although we cannot turn the tide and stop the decline of Europe, we have a clear conscience!
May our friendship last forever. ”
Old Ernst pulled Liu Fei up, and then said into the microphone: "Herman, my little Herman." I will now give you this crown, which symbolizes the status of the patriarch, and this ring, which symbolizes supreme power. I hope that you can shoulder the historical responsibility of revitalizing Europe, and even if we can't revitalize Europe, we will definitely bring down the United States... Country. ”
Liu Fei nodded, and then Old Ernst put on the crown that looked very heavy but was actually made of light gold alloy, and then handed Liu Fei the ring of the Einzberen family in his hand.
Liu Fei began his inaugural speech before being pulled down by the old Enstel: "Today, for me personally, is a sacred day. I am sure that when I take office, I will begin a series of actions to revive the glory of the House of Einzberen, as we need to be, in a frank and decisive manner.
Now we have all encountered a huge difficulty, now many of our industries no longer exist, but we still have the foundation, we still have the funds, we still have people!
We must all face our difficulties together in a spirit of arduous struggle. Thank God that these difficulties are only material. Our industrial production capacity has declined, and our sales channels have withered. shrinking, and our funds are slowly drying up.
What's more, many of us can only exist as a secret person, unable to see under the sun.
Only a stupid optimist would choose to deny these current dark realities.
But our distress is not because we lack supplies, we have not suffered any disasters, our ancestors have turned the crisis into safety again and again with faith and fearlessness. Compared to their enormous obstacles, we can still be gratified by the fact that we are still gratifying......
……
President Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, 'Happiness does not consist in the mere possession of money; Happiness also lies in the joy of achieving achievements, and in the passion of creating efforts. We must no longer forget the joy and encouragement of labor, and go crazy to chase the fleeting profits. If these bleak times can lead us to realize that our true destiny is not to be served by others, but to serve ourselves and our fellow man, then the price we pay is well worth it.
Recognizing that material wealth is wrong to regard success as the criterion, we abandon the use of dignity and personal gain as the sole criterion for measuring public office and high government. false beliefs about governing status; We must put an end to a practice in the banking and corporate worlds that often confuses sacred mandates with ruthless and selfish impropriety. It is no wonder that confidence is weakening, and faith can only be maintained by honesty, credibility, faithfulness and selflessness. And without these, it is impossible to have faith. ’
Although I hate beauty very much... but I have great respect for President Roosevelt......"
After Liu Fei's speech, the elder Ernst announced that he had completely passed on his patriarchal position to Liu Fei, and now Liu Fei is the patriarch of the Einzberen family.
Few people knew about the Ghost Family's succession meeting held in this ghost castle, except for the members of the Einzberren family, and only Queen Elizabeth II of England was there.
