Chapter 45: The Four Great Families
"According to our investigation, you should be the first time you have arrived in the local area, so let's go through it for you from the beginning, in other words, there are four major families in this coastal city, headed by the Murong family, which is the strongest, followed by the Duan family, whose strength is second only to the Murong family, and the people in the family are good at swordsmanship and imperial weapons. The third is the Sun family, the family is long in the art of imperial objects, that is, the family of the grandmother of the current head of the family, and the uncle and grandfather above the inner hall just now are the elders of the Sun family. The fourth is the Mao family, which is the most mysterious, and the people in the clan devote themselves to cultivation and rarely move around. Murong Xue told the information.
"And then" Baili Xing listened for a long time and didn't hear the point of the matter, urging.
"Now that the Murong family is the only one, and the eldest young master has disappeared for no reason, the problem arises, because the eldest grandson was not born to the eldest young master, but was born to the eldest young master, and the second young lady also died of illness in her early years, so now the factions of the people in the clan are basically divided into two factions, one is the one who supports the eldest grandson led by the grandmother of the family and the other is supported by the eldest elder.
"The eldest young master disappeared for no reason?" asked Baili Xing.
"It is said that he disappeared for no reason, but in fact, through investigation, I am afraid that we have been victimized by the terrorist organization of "Jieling". ”
"Spirit?"
"Soul Liberation is an organization of evil beings, led by self-proclaimed soul reincarnation, who liberates souls from reincarnation. ”
"You are afraid that Xie Ling will not be good for the eldest grandson, so you want us to protect the eldest grandson. ”
"This is just one of them, although Xie Ling has some strength, but it is only the external worries that are not to be feared, and the internal troubles are what need to be worried. ”
"The Great Elder will harm the eldest grandson?"
"I can't guarantee that. Although the Great Elder supports Murong Yu, he is an upright person, so he should not do such a thing, the Great Elder is just an opposition on the surface, but he doesn't know how many hidden enemies there are. Murong Xue looked worried.
"And what about the tryouts, how long is it until they start?"
"The selection competition is held every three years, and it is the most important test and trial before the Murong family's coming-of-age ceremony from the age of twelve to eighteen, and everyone of the right age in the clan must participate, divided into three groups of twelve-year-old preliminary test group, fifteen-year-old middle test group and eighteen-year-old high test group. There are still two months to go until the start of this competition, and the competition time is about one to two months, depending on the rules of the competition and the difficulty of the task. ”
"It seems that the eldest grandson is fifteen years old this year, and if my guess is right, this selection competition will not only have an individual competition but also a team competition. Baili Xing guessed
"Yes, the individual competition of the entire competition system is just up to the point, the family academy of the Murong family is divided into four courtyards, southeast, northwest and northwest, each academy has 16 people, now the eldest grandson belongs to the East Academy, Murong Yu belongs to the South Academy, the strength of the West Courtyard and the North Courtyard should not be underestimated, and there are also candidates for inheritance qualifications in the two courts, but there are not too many supporters. The top 32 earns 10 points, the top 16 earns 15 points, the top 8 earns 20 points, the semi-finals earn 25 points, the champion earns 35 points, and the second team survival match earns points for completing tasks, and the team with the highest two points added together wins. Murong Xue explained the rules of the selection competition in detail for Baili Xing.
"It's getting more and more interesting, and when I think about it, when the eldest grandson was in the preliminary group, he lagged behind in the points, so I had to hope that he would get back in the middle group. Baili Xing guessed with interest.
"Suffice it to say, let's ask Mr. Baili to pick the reward you want first. In the small talk, the three of them had already come to the second floor, Murong Xue held the token in his hand and pushed forward, and the bronze door on the second floor slowly opened.
This layer is full of ordinary mortal low-level weapons, swords, guns, clubs, and eighteen kinds of weapons, although they are some low-level weapons, the hardness and toughness are much higher than ordinary mortal weapons.
