Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Head of the Family of Philos

"Immediate members?"

The female examiner was stunned.

The direct lineage of the Philos family is notoriously ill-fated, with most of the members dying before they reach adulthood for various reasons.

Take the current head of the family, Da Keer, who was born as the fifth daughter, but became the eldest daughter when she inherited the head of the family. Two more generations up, Camille had the same experience, going from sixth daughter to eldest daughter, and then let the only frail brother inherit the head of the family.

At present, there are no more than ten direct members of the registered family, excluding children and the elderly, there are only three young people left in the Philos family, and all of them are young women, including the head of the family, Da Keer.

"Is Mr. Jeno interested in any young lady of the Philos family? I can get in touch with you. ”

A female examiner said with a smile that if this marriage is promoted, the communicator matter will be nine out of ten.

"I'm interested in a certain woman, but for her age, I can't call it a young lady."

Jeno touched his chin and responded, he was calculating Camille's real age, a great-grandmother-level figure, even if people here marry and have children early, at least they have to be over 80 years old, can they still be called misses? Although it is true that people are eternally young.

The female examiner thought for a while, only the head of the house and her mother are eligible, could it be that this kid in front of her likes?

She couldn't help but shudder, hugged her arms and took a half step back: "You say her name yourself, and we will help you get in touch." ”

Jeno looked around, and the gossip soul in the eyes of everyone in the surrounding students was burning, and he decisively refused: "Well, it's best to keep this secret." ”

Seeing him so mysterious, the stern female instructor said:

"Mr. Jeno, please sit in the waiting room for a little longer, the housekeeper has gone to inform the master of the house, if there is anything you want, please tell her in detail. The five of us will continue to preside over the interview, and we will not accompany you, forgive me. ”

Maybe it's because of the communicator, or maybe it's because of Colin's relationship, the female examiner's tone is not as sharp as it was at the beginning.

"it!"

Jeno watched a few people enter the interview room, and then found a chair to sit down.

After a brief period of silence and crampedness, several students approached him apologetically and began to ask him some academic questions, but more questions about his private life, such as:

"Which master did you study with?"

"Where do you live?"

"Are you interested in working on piston devices together?"

"What type of girl do you like?"

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

"Is it acceptable for men?"

For questions like this, Jeno pretended to be stupid and cute, but he wouldn't be stingy if academic help could help.

Of course, the academic talk is about the Hexial technique, and it is definitely not a intratrial technique.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to return to the waiting room and invite Jeno to move to the conference room, and Jeno gladly accepted, thinking that if the butler didn't show up again, an open Zuan girl next to him would soon tell him about her measurements.

The meticulous butler led Jeno out of the waiting room, through the sea of flowers, stopped in front of the door of the conference room, bowed and pushed the heavy door open for Jeno, and then made a gesture to invite him in, without saying a word the whole time.

If he hadn't read out the interview rules in public before, Jeno would have thought he was a mute.

Jeno nervously entered the conference room, inside the doors and windows were closed, the lights were bright, and a silver-haired woman was sitting in the farthest corner of the rectangular conference table, with a custom-made feather hat in front of the table, smiling at herself.

"Is this the head of the Philos family?" Jay thought about it, there was no one else in the room except her, and the butler also closed the door of the conference room with his hands after he entered, and stood outside the door waiting for orders, keeping it very secret.

"Mr. Jeno don't have to worry, this is just a necessary arrangement, the mutual penetration of the major families has long existed, and slowly, every major meeting has developed into the current form."

"Major Meetings...... Think too much of me. ”

Jeno found a place farthest away from Da Keel and sat down, as there was a cup of tea in the place, apparently for himself.

Through the understanding of Hextech, Jeno found that there were many hidden mechanisms in this room, of course, these exposed mechanisms were only deliberately shown by the host to the guests, and more invisible mechanisms were hidden in every corner of the conference room, just take the chair under Jeno as an example, he had inadvertently touched some kind of device of unknown meaning, and the trigger should be in Da Keer's hand.

"Officially, I'm Da Kerr Philos, the current head of the Philos family."

Da Ke'er has fair skin, deep eyes, a smile on her face all the time, and a pair of eyes that have always stayed on Jeno, and the aristocratic etiquette is very well done.

There were two vein-like vein-like veins under her eyes, extending from her cheeks to the back of her neck, part of some kind of extremely delicate augmentation, but this did not affect her beauty, but rather added a metallic coldness to her.

Jeno withdrew his gaze from all around and said:

"My name is Jeno, a contracted student at Colin Workshop."

"Is the treatment at Colin's Workshop bad? So Mr. Jeno wants to jump ship to Philos? ”

Da Keer quipped, covering her mouth and snickering.

"No, no, no, I'm mainly here to find people." Jeno waved his hand repeatedly.

"Isn't the person you're looking for right in front of you?"

"I'm not looking for you, it's ......"

"It's the Gray Lady, right?"

Da Ke'er's sudden interruption made Jeno stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "It's her." ”

"Madame Grey is the chief agent of the Philos family, and she is also the most powerful in the whole of Piltover, if there is anyone who needs to be dealt with, Mr. Jeno can just say it, and I will tell her."

"I don't need her to help me kill people, I want her to help me save people." Jano smiled wryly.

"How do you want her to be saved?"

"My time is running out, and I need to transplant a reliable artificial heart in exchange for the technology associated with the communicator."

Jeno directly stated his situation and purpose, if the other party did not accept it, then he took the communicator to buy insurance for himself, leaving Oriana a large amount of money and property, and then turned into a blue bird to spend the rest of his life waiting for a miracle to happen.

Da Ke'er clasped her hands together, her eyes hidden in the shadows, and stared at Jeno with an unkind expression.

"Let Madame Gray personally come forward to negotiate with you about this kind of thing, I can't replace her will, she is on a mission, I will find you in person after a while, let's talk about the contract."

"Once you sign the contract, will you guarantee that I can continue to live?"

"We do our best, after all, your departure is a serious loss to the Philos family."

"As much as possible? Sign it, but I'll have to wait for Madame Gray to get it herself. ”

Jeno's simply made Da Keer a little stunned:

"I haven't said anything about the contract?"

"Then you say!"

"......" Da Keer was speechless, and then pushed a contract for a master craftsman in front of Jeno.

Of course, Jeno didn't sign it directly, just joking, he carefully read the content of the contract, roughly saying that Jeno will become a master craftsman supported by the Philos family, with unconditional financial support from the family, and owns the patents for all his inventions.

The contract is for life, but other than that, the conditions are very lenient, there is no requirement that you invent a blockbuster work within a few years, and there is no restriction on personal freedom.

The essence is a lifelong buyout, and the money is taken casually.

After reading the contract, Jeno put the gold-plated quill pen into the ink and prepared to sign, when suddenly he thought of something, stopped his movements, looked up at Da Keer, and wondered:

"As long as the contract is signed, I will be a core member of the Philos family?"
