Hopland, the Aniemiyi family.

The small castle of white stone bricks is built on the slope of a hill, surrounded by a long wall, and the interior is like a park, full of thick canopies and blooming flowers, even in autumn, the courtyard is not cold, because there is a circulation of heat underground.

The ancestors of the Agnemian family loved flowers, and spent a lot of money to hire alchemists to dig geothermal pipes, so that the water could bring a certain amount of heat when it entered the ground and then flowed back to the surface, even in the cold of winter.

The beautiful building on the hillside is brightly lit.

Feng Nai wore a bright yellow and bright long dress, walked through the corridor where guards stood guard, and then knocked on the door of a room, and after a while, the door opened, revealing the lively scene inside, a dozen or so high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce sat in the small hall, and Noyce, the head of the Aniemiy family, sat on the top.

Noyce is only in his early forties this year, and he is in the prime of life, and the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are handled very well on weekdays, if it were not for this Westwind civil strife, Aniemiy can be said to be thriving in these years, so he has also developed a carefree character. After all, his father took care of everything, and it was not her turn to worry about it.

"Father, I'm here." Feng Nai bowed his skirt, and then walked into the hall with a little curiosity, and sat down on the chair below.

"Lord Noyce, the Nissos family has fully mobilized, and Lord Fenton has also placed his men in several districts to the east as agreed, and blocked the east gate of Hopeland."

"Very well, how is Tisiphone?"

"Tisiphone's side has also sent people to control the north gate, and the northern districts are mostly workshops and poor people, and their methods will be tougher."

Feng Nai was a little confused when she heard these words, what was she doing, why did she close the city gates, and when did their family get so close to Nissos and Tisiphone?

Just as she was about to ask, Noyce spoke, his short crimson hair and his brown eyes shining in the candlelight.

"Coupled with the closed West Gate of Hope on our side, and the patrols of the three families on the city wall, the only exit from Hope is now the docks in the south."

"Yes, my lord, there are not many boats on the dock, and there are few big boats, and even if someone leaves by boat, not many people will leave." An armor-clad guard responded.

"But why don't we send someone to block the docks as well?" One of the stewards was a little confused.

"No, you don't." Noyce shook his head.

"Our goal is ultimately to control Hopeland, and the disobedient, powerful few will be left by boat."

"This will also reduce bloodshed and conflict, after all, we will have to develop on the foundation of Hopeland for a long time in the future, and we can't do too much."

"Your Excellency is wise." Several stewards present began to compliment again, and after getting through the initial tension, everyone in the small hall also relaxed a little.

"Father." Feng Nai finally waited for a free opportunity and asked.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Her long light red hair is tied on a delicate dress, and the ends of her hair are spiraled, and the overall look has a sense of luxury and elegance.

Noyce looked at Kazunai lovingly, and then opened his mouth to explain what had happened, and the fact that they were now united with the families of Tisiphone and Nissos.

"Tisiphone?" Kazeno frowned.

Recently, Noyce invited Edley to visit several times, and Adeley has changed a lot compared to before, and he actually showed off his own cooking skills, which made Feng Nai change his senses a lot.

But today's incident made her disgusted again, and Tisiphone was so fond of intrigues and tricks, and the little favor that had been budding disappeared without a trace.

"And what about the Karitas and Helis families?" Feng Nai asked.

Noyce didn't answer immediately, but a high-ranking steward of the Chamber of Commerce next to him answered Feng Nai's question.

"If they are willing to cooperate and do not resist, we will not embarrass them."

"But what if they don't want to?" Kazeno is a little worried about her friend Meilu.

"Then it's up to them." One of the captains of the guard replied in a low voice.

"Kazeno, are you worried about Meilu?" Noyce looked at his only daughter.

"Well, a little." Feng Nai nodded and looked at his father pleadingly.

She and Mei Lu have played since childhood, and although they often quarrel, they actually have a very good relationship.

"I know, so I told them not to hurt Miss Merus. When the matter is over, you can also send Meilu to live in another country and ensure that she lives a rich life, how about that? ”

"Thank you, father~"

Feng Nai breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the worries in her heart, because her father had never let her down, as long as her father agreed, she would definitely do it. As for the other things that came later, she didn't care much about it.

Unlike Meilu, who has borne the pressure of the family since childhood, Kazeno has hardly suffered any setbacks in her upbringing, and her doting and leisurely life has given her a lot of time to pursue her personal hobbies, while also having a natural self-confidence and pride.

Bloom like a flower, bloom like a jewel.

In the entire Virga Business Alliance, she is also a very prestigious eldest lady, sought after by many heirs of the Chamber of Commerce, and her reputation is far and wide, becoming the natural spokesperson of her own jewelry.

--------------

Daffodil Street, the 'Shield of the Lake' alchemy workshop.

In the dark, dripping basement, a young apprentice was tied to a pillar, the blue alchemy light reflected the bloody laboratory, and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he could only make a simple mumping sound.

Zenep, the alchemist who had spoken to Lorain Hill before, stood in front of a huge gray golem, watching the heavy and towering body move slowly, the golem's eyes glowing with blue light, and he shouted excitedly.

"Finally, I finally succeeded, hahaha, hahaha."

The sound of frenzied maneuvering echoed through the dark underground, and then he let go of his left hand, and a blood-stained head rolled to the ground, a living head that was one of the previous clerks, one of his apprentices.

The dead skull was covered with wide eyes, a look of disbelief and fear.

Seeing this scene, the young man who was tied up next to him struggled even more.

But the alchemist, who had his back to him, did not care about such a trivial matter, and he slowly stepped forward and gently stroked the gray and hard golem, as if he were the most beloved lover.

"They all looked down on me back then. I thought we were good friends, but I didn't know until that day that they looked down on me in their hearts, but they usually didn't talk about it for the sake of face. ”

"I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid, people are hundreds of times better than me, I've been playing with them for a long time, and I really think they're friends."

"It's me who doesn't deserve to follow them like a clown."

"But, I must prove myself, even if I am kicked out of the academy and cannot graduate successfully, I will prove myself, after all, you are wrong."

"And I'm right."

"The information excavated from the ruins back then, the secret art of the Mercury Dynasty, will definitely set off a new revolution, and this new type of golem will sweep everything."

"And I'm going to slap those people in the face!"

"Why, why, did you insult me so much, and say that I was so humble and lowly, woo woo..."

He cried as he spoke, tears streaming down his face, as if venting his years of bitterness, unwillingness, and hatred.

The gray golem standing quietly in front of him, the lines on his body flowed in turn, spreading outward from his chest, spreading all over his body, until he finally reflected the golden sword behind him.
