It's like a cult holding a secret meeting.

In addition to the ten archmages, the remaining forty or so formal mages and apprentices were basically not looked at by Lin An.

But it was only ten archmages, and they saluted Lin An at the same time, although they had already restrained their coercion, the strictness of the occasion and etiquette and their own level of strength would not reduce the psychological pressure on people in the slightest.

Is this the next horse?

Or is it a metric?

Lin An narrowed his eyes.

"Everyone, please."

The girl's voice was calm and soft, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears, but they couldn't help but want to pick their ears, suspecting that they didn't hear clearly-

Did she really say "please", not "excuse me"?

The old and spicy archmages remained silent, but a few young and vigorous mages were on fire.

Of course, they won't come out on the surface, but under the perception of the half-step legend, unless they wear the enchanted equipment that isolates perception, how can they hide it from Lin An?

The valley fell silent.

Many people raised their eyes to peek at Lin An.

Although they had already seen it once, most people were shocked by Lin An's appearance at first sight.

But because of one time, they were not surprised by Lin An's stunning beauty, but they felt that although this stunning girl had an extraordinary bearing, there was still a certain distance from the identity of the co-owner of all hidden inheritances.

After all, they have not been deeply involved in the world, and they do not know Lin An's reputation, and even if they do, they do not recognize the secular universal values for the hermit inheritance - of course, with the background and heritage of the hermit inheritance, this arrogance is not without reason.

It doesn't seem like that much!

Some people muttered in their hearts.

In the hidden inheritance, most people still don't know that Lin An has been promoted.

The news of Lin An's promotion is currently limited to the upper echelons of Merlin and has not spread to everyone.

After all, this is a thing that is very far from civilian life.

Lin An didn't care what those junior disciples thought.

But she was unhappy.

"'Oath Keeper', 'Sword Bearer', 'Scholar', 'Hermit'......"

Qing Lingling's gaze swept over the several archmages led by him one by one, and the eyes like essence finally fell on the following archmages, Lin An said lightly:

"So, who are you?"

In one sentence, it directly revealed the biggest scar of the hidden inheritance, whether it was betrayed by the master or betrayed by the disciple, they were completely humiliated.

On the faces of the ten archmages, the blood on their faces spread at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

The old guy who has lived for hundreds of years was embarrassed by Lin An's words!

But they had to endure.

Outsiders are not qualified to ridicule, but Lin An, the co-master, is the most justifiable person who can ask about this matter.

Lin An's attitude is obvious:

If you don't control your disciples, I won't lower my status and trouble the juniors, and of course you will bear the consequences.

The arrogant and aggressive attitude is fully revealed.

The point is that this new master did not move half of his anger, but answered with practical actions, I not only saw through your thoughts, but also did not inferior to you.

The ten archmages quickly put away their contempt.

With Lin An's age, it would not be surprising if she responded with the constraints of a contract at the beginning, or even set an example for her.

Of course, they will still be respectful, but in their hearts, they will look down on her vision.

The first meeting, often the most important, determines how both parties get along in the future.

If the superior cannot convince the lower, he can only be detached.

Of course, Lin An could take coercive measures without having to care about their thoughts, but the hidden inheritance would inevitably produce dissent.

Ke Lin An not only saw their attitude, but also showed the means of the emperor, and in the position of the co-master of the hidden inheritance, he showed the ability to meet the basic requirements.

Although the archmages were slapped in the face, they also realized that there was a certain buffer zone between the two sides.

This is the most important for the hidden inheritance that has just learned that he has a master, and his fate is already in the hands of others, but he has not yet fully accepted the reality.

This at least shows that Lin An does not treat them as pure slave lackeys, and they are normal in their thinking and can communicate.

Sounds very demanding?

Not really.

As long as you have basic analytical ability, you can see that between the hidden inheritance and Lin An, the newly emerged master, the former is powerful, and the latter is weak, showing the trend of a slave bully.

Under such circumstances, Lin An could decide the life and death of any person in the hidden inheritance in a single thought.

This is actually a very dangerous thing.

Out of self-preservation instinct, weak masters usually maintain a high level of vigilance against the overly threatening hermit lineage, and once there are any signs, the first reaction of a normal person must be to suppress it with the help of an oath, or even a bloody massacre, to teach the latter a lesson!

In this way, it is tantamount to intensifying the contradictions, so that the two sides cannot choose to go to the opposite side.

No matter how strong the oath in Lin An's hands is, the conflict between the grievances and the hidden inheritance can only become more and more intense, and then turn into a vicious circle.

In the final result, either Lin An struck first, or the hidden inheritance finally found the loophole in the oath, successfully resisted, and solved Lin An.

But even the latter is a pyrrhic victory for the hermit lineage.

Because before Lin An is eaten by them, most of the hidden inheritance will fall first, and the thousand-year-old inheritance will face the situation of withering talents!

No one wants the situation to go a lose-lose situation.

But this initiative is not in the hidden inheritance, but in Lin An.

This also puts forward high requirements for Lin An's ability.

She needs to see the situation clearly, and have enough reason and self-control, not driven by instinct and emotion;

Of course, it is better to have enough strength to be able to make the hermit inheritance recognize and surrender willingly......

In short, if you want to control such a big carriage as the hermitage inheritance, no matter how high the coachman's skill is, for the archmages of the hermish inheritance, they are not afraid that Lin An has the ability and means, but what they are afraid of is that Lin An has no ability and no means-

Even if they are willing to be lackeys, the owner must be a clever hunter and have the ability to train dogs!

Having said that, in addition to the hidden inheritance, I'm afraid that after searching the Muse Continent, I can't find such a high-end and high-grade lackey......

Changing places, Lin An somewhat guessed the thoughts of the hidden inheritances.

Therefore, she must show her ability to get out of town.

Otherwise, if she can't even make it through the first round of confrontation, and she makes any decisions later, these Archmages who are used to being liberals won't listen.

And "recognition" is precisely something that is very subtle, very personal, and difficult to control.

It can be stored between friends, it can be stored in a hostile relationship, but it does not necessarily exist between superiors and subordinates...... In view of the fact that the phenomenon of being led by fools has existed in ancient and modern times, no matter how advanced and perfect the system is, it cannot be extinct.

Although he was slapped in the face, Lin An's words could not help but answer.

Since he had already introduced himself before, Master Grant, who was tall and full of scholarly temperament, took the initiative to speak, "Please allow me to introduce you." ”

He looked at Lin An, who nodded slightly.

So he turned sideways slightly and raised his hand to signal:

"This is Schmidt from the cabin in the woods. Master White, this is Isolde of the South Reef of Finland. Master Syndia, this is Li Li Xiang of the Island of Mangroves. Master Limu, this is ......"

Every time he said the identity of a master, the corresponding archmage bowed slightly, and Lin An nodded in return.

At present, the people gathered in the valley, including the mage Amos, there are a total of fifty-four people, and seventeen lineages.

Lin An had a general understanding of the current situation of the hidden inheritance from Master Amos, and then through Master Grant's introduction, he had a clearer understanding of the pattern of the hidden inheritance, and secretly divided all the hidden inheritances into three levels.

The first level is the four thousand-year-old inheritances of the Sea Cliff of the Natural Star, the Roof of the Black Dragon, the Tower of Dolan and the Underground Castle.

They have an orderly lineage, and the people who have been in charge of them for generations are all archmages, with a profound background and the highest prestige.

The second level is the inheritance that is separated from the four thousand-year traditions.

They have a short history, more than three or four hundred years, less than one or two hundred years, most of them are the first generation, or just the second generation, the common feature is that they all have archmages to support the court, and their strength is not necessarily inferior to the four major inheritances, but the background is much shallow, and the inheritance is not stable.

There are a total of eight such lineages, and it happens that there are two of the four great lineages, and except for Andrei's teacher, Master Glegri, who was not present, the other seven leaders have already arrived in person.

The third level, of course, is the declining inheritance that no archmage has to support the court.

There are five of these declining inheritances, which have almost no right to speak, and they need to be attached to the first and second levels of inheritance, relying on the favor of the previous generation of rulers to continue.

With their status, they couldn't stand in front of Lin An at all, after all, if their ancestors hadn't betrayed their masters, then in front of Lin An, they were just ordinary inheritance disciples, where could they be qualified to be compared with the real inheritance holders.

Master Amos told Lin An:

The hermit inheritance is a relatively closed circle, and the various inheritances are not harmonious with each other, and over the millennium, there are more or less enemies and allies, such as the Star Sea Cliff and the Black Dragon Roof Ridge, and the current rulers of the Tower of Dolan and the underground castle are said to have a bad relationship, etc.

But in front of Lin An, they didn't show any resentment, it seemed that Biyulai had done a good job during this time.

In addition to these ten archmages, among the remaining forty-four people, there are twenty full-time mages, and the rest are apprentices.

Of course, this is not to say that all the hidden inheritances add up to dozens of people.

Those present today are all the lineage disciples of each lineage, that is, the future lineage holders and core leaders.

They have all been truly inherited, or will be inherited.

Of course, before that, they must have taken a soul oath in the content of the oath in order to be taught.

In addition to the inheritance disciples, there are also ordinary disciples, followers, and slaves who serve them in the hidden lineage, and the total number of people in the hidden inheritance will not be less than ten.

If the roof of the black dragon is destroyed, of course, it is an exception.

However, even if the disciples and followers are all dead, the servants under the Black Dragon Roof Gate are not a small number.

It's just that they are hidden in the world, and almost no one knows their connection to the hidden inheritance, and when Master Amos escaped, he didn't have time to take away those account books, land deeds and deeds, and he didn't know the specific situation of the estate, otherwise he would be able to completely recover the property of the Black Dragon Roof in the world, and he wouldn't have to live so embarrassed.
