Chapter 33: You Sing and I'll Appear
"That bastard really said that?!" In a large room in Goldsburg, a gloomy man lowered his voice and asked, as if the words were squeezed out of his teeth word by word, with a hint of coldness!
"Naturally, the head of the house, he also said, he also said...... "Gal. Faist seemed to be a little afraid to speak.
"What else did he say, say!"
"He also said that he didn't know when the patriarch of the Faist family changed......"
"Smack" an antique vase by Yvely. Faist swept off the trellises next to him and smashed them against the wall.
"Bastard, this shameless bastard, he was protected by Irrey before! Now that Ire is dead, he still dares to be so arrogant, I think he is looking for death! ”
Yvely. Faist had just been successfully elected head of the family, and logically speaking, according to the authority of the head of the family, it should be said that it was the same.
However, Yveli obtained the position of head of the family only because of the compromise between the various forces (he was weak and unreliable in the Faist family). No one was optimistic about Eveli before, if it weren't for the fact that Doro and Borg were quite at odds, and both of them were very young, otherwise it would not be his turn to sit in the position of the head of the family.
For this reason, Evely does not have the authority that Eli had in the family before, but is often ridiculed, saying that he is just a "housekeeper".
Originally, he was secretly pointed at in Gorlesburg, and even though Eveli was angry, he still restrained himself, after all, those people were all direct descendants, and none of the people behind them were easy to mess with.
But you, Morey, a low-level mage, Iray is dead, and you are still so arrogant, who gave you the guts?
However, Evely deliberately ignored the possibility that Ire's not dead, because only this would give him the courage to deal with Morey. Naturally, Gal would not touch him again at this time and remind him of this possibility, but tried his best to agree with Yveli's opinion and lash out against Morey.
"Morey. The order of Red Leaf City, the fief of Faist, is not in accordance with the procedure, since Morey refuses to come back to explain the situation, then the family naturally has the right to take it back, and it is still necessary to let the previous Red Leaf City City Lord McGee. Faiste go and take it back! "Yves naturally won't end up in person, it just so happened that McGee had cried to him about Ire's domineering approach before, plus the 5,000 gold coins and the promise of a 30% annual share of Red Leaf City, it would be better to take the lead with him.
If Morey obediently "takes the order" to give up Red Leaf City this time, he may reward him with a Zhuangzi, if not, Morey openly resists the family order, and he can personally lead the army to level Red Leaf City! Let those old guys see my Yvely. Faist isn't just a marionette.
Hearing that Yves really made McGee. Faist returned to Red Leaf City to be the lord of the city, and Gal couldn't help but snicker. Evely naturally knows what his temperament is, a typical ambition is sparse, and he can't allow others to question his authority, and he will provoke him with a little oil and vinegar, and he has completely gone to the opposite side of Morey, and he is also at ease with the 5,000 gold coins he received.
"Enge, you're going to let Eveli continue like this?" Hobert found Engel, and there was a hint of rebuke in his eager words.
No wonder Elder Hobert, who demanded himself with chivalry, was furious. Faist disappeared, whether it was to assist Morey in the order of succession, or to make Eugene, the most powerful member of the current line. Faist's succession to the throne or the promotion of either Doro and Borg among the younger generation are two ways to make a relatively peaceful transition. But this great elder didn't adopt any of them, and elected a Yveli who they had never heard of in their daily lives to become the temporary head of the family, which not only made a lot of discussion in the family, but also made other Far Eastern families see the joke.
Enge also has a hard time, Morey himself naturally will not assist him to become the head of the family, otherwise he will not compromise with Ile at all, and make a fief for Morey in Red Leaf City. But Eugene. Faist himself could not recommend it, because he had suppressed him for a while. Originally, it was just for Doro to have a better development period, so he personally pressed Eugene, who was in full swing at the time. Faist.
Ten years, a whole ten years, Eugene was deployed by the family everywhere in his golden period, fighting in all directions, and he couldn't get the slightest promotion. Until Eugene. Faist finally bowed to Enge and was transferred back to Saganis City, but because he missed the best period of promotion, his strength has improved slowly over the years, and he has long lost the name of the genius of the year.
Ruined people's futures, Enge now puts himself in his shoes and thinks that he did too much back then. Then you can imagine all these years buried in Eugene. The hatred in Faist's heart for himself. He had no doubt that once Eugene became the head of the family, the first order would definitely be to promote his own impeachment, and with Eugene's seniority and the grudges he had formed over the years, the success rate of impeachment was extremely high.
For himself and for Doro, this Eugene. Naturally, Faist couldn't choose either.
As for directly pushing his grandson Doro. Faiste was in the position of head of the family, and Enge did not think about it. But over the years, with his connivance, the children of his own family have long been engaged in boiling resentment in the family. If it weren't for the fact that he still had residual power, those little rabbit cubs would have been eaten and wiped clean. Of course, this is also to see that he is old and his time is short, and it is conceivable that when he falls, it will be the time of reckoning. Therefore, if he pushes Doro to power, he will definitely detonate all the hatreds over the years in advance.
Elect to choose, Enge had to choose this taciturn and not much power Eveli to be the temporary head of the family. Anyway, it can't be confirmed that Irre is dead, so it's better to hold off on the official position of head of the family.
"I think Yveli has his own measure, Ire's life and death are uncertain now, and Morey's departure from Red Leaf City is not a protection for him." Engel's words are uplifting, but Hobert is becoming more and more disappointed with his former brother, teacher, and idol.
This is no longer the "Saganis Shield" that can burn all the blood of the body in exchange for the powerful atavistic power, and fight the evil dragon desperately.
He is old and decayed.
Could it be that the evil dragon ruined not only his future, but also his justice?
The city of the Holy Lance, the Damiyan family.
Alex has not moved from the family since he was questioned the last time he came back. To this day his father Sward. Damian asked the butler to inform him to go to his study.
"Father!" Alex tidied up his clothes a little, leaned down slightly and said softly.
When Swald heard the voice, he lifted his bald head, which was buried in the papers, and smiled.
"Seat."
When Alex heard this, he sat down respectfully on the chair in front of his desk. Sitting next to him was the equally respectful eldest brother Cyril. Damiyan.
Schward gently set the file aside and took off his glasses. Under the glasses are a pair of slightly cloudy brown pupils, although not as sharp and powerful as when they were younger, but they are brought by these eyes with more friendly kindness.
But who would have thought that it was this amiable "little sheep" (Sward's nickname) who would eliminate the system of guest elders who had been entrenched in the family body for decades and suck blood in one fell swoop, so that the Damyan family could truly reap the benefits of expansion, and the development in just ten years would be comparable to the results of the past few decades.
"Cyril, this time I summoned you and Alex to convey to you the family's recent decision on the Far East......" Seeing that the two sons had arrived, Sward spoke slowly.
If the word "Far East" does not specifically refer to the Damyan family, then it refers to the Faist family.
"Father, do you mean that you still keep an eye on the Far East in the near future, and you don't need to make some temptations?" Cyrillic. Damian asked what he wanted to ask, and Alex leaned back to listen.
"Ire. Faist is said to have gone to the Dark Regions with Sandakor this time, and now although Sandakor has fallen, many of the strong people who followed have been confirmed dead. The lamp that Faist had left in the family was also extinguished, but that didn't mean that Ile was dead. We in the Damiyan family can't let the old things happen to the Hildo family again! "Although the underground plan is secretive, with the fall of Shandacol and the death of the leaders of the various forces, some news has gradually spread from the upper echelons of the Church of the Wind Rider and those who have entered the dark regions.
And the Hildo family used to be an old marquis family in the royal capital, and in a battle to exterminate the clan, because of the misjudgment of the soul lamp, a big fish was missed. Years later, the former teenager grew up, because his family has been wiped out, and some conventional rules he no longer needs to follow, you can imagine a quasi-legendary assassin, hiding in the dark alleys for hours just to kill a careless Hildo family servant, stunned by a dagger to kill the Hildo family, although in the end the Hildo family spent a lot of money to hire a legendary mage to kill him, but the Hildo family was also pulled down from the original position of marquis.
A teenager who just has potential has this ability, if the Damyan family really provokes the Faist family. After so many years, will it be Eli. Faist suddenly returned, and then staged a scene of havoc in the royal capital? As for the temperament of the three royal families, Swald believes that his family will be the first to be thrown out to Ile. Faist vented his anger.
"Alex, didn't you have a conflict with that kid from Red Leaf City before?" Swald suddenly asked Alex. Because it was just an ordinary mission failure, Alex only reported it to the family affairs department, and Schward was not very clear about the specific situation.
"Yes, Father!"
"Find a time, give a gift, and expose this matter!" Schward waved his hand, officially setting the tone for the matter.
Now the only legend of the Faist family, Ire. Faist is missing, his life and death are unknown, and those greedy dogs have long been eyeing Faiste's piece of fat, even if the Damiyan family doesn't do it, they will pounce on it without hesitation. The Damiyan family only needs to watch from the shore, why bother wading into this troubled water.
"Oh? So that idiot at Evely really plans to let McGee go back to Momiji City? "Burton. Joseph was holding a halfling tobacco he had just bought from the Emerald City when he heard Benjamin. Joseph's latest information from the city of Saganis could not help but give him the feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.
"Yes, it is said that McGee bribed the cronies sent by Yveli to Momiji City, so... Hehe. Even though he had gloated many times after receiving the news, Benjamin still laughed unconsciously when he said it.
Red Leaf City is the fief of Eli's son Morey, and moving him is equivalent to moving Ire. At that time, not only the barbarians of the Saber Fortress, but also the Third Army of the Far East and the Nineteenth Army of the Far East will have the sympathizers of Ile to speak out. When the time comes, whether to withdraw his orders in a gray manner, or to hold on to his head. According to Benjamin's inside information, Evely's idiot would mostly choose the latter.
And this means that his family's biggest enemy, the Faist family, is about to have a civil strife.
"Whew" Burton took a deep breath, then jokingly spat out a smoke ring. This is the best news I have ever received since I took over as the head of the family.
"Send a team of people to wait at Lake Maas, and see McGee's convoy killed directly! Throw him some fish-man scales and swords at the scene. Burton is also a ruthless man, and he is afraid that Morey will be instructed to quit Red Leaf City for the overall situation, or simply put McGee under house arrest as a bargaining chip. Of course, none of this is in the interests of the Joseph family, so in order to make the civil strife of the Faist family come early, he doesn't mind adding fuel to the fire.
Lake Maas is a famous lake in the Far East, covering a wide area, and the reeds all over the lake and the water birds that fly to the lake from time to time to hunt are a rare natural landscape in the Far East. At the bottom of Lake Maas, there is a waterway that zigzags for hundreds of kilometers and leads to the North Sea. Every spring and summer, when the sea temperature rises, there are always schools of fish following the waterway into Lake Maas to avoid predators. Some of the fishmen near the North Sea chase the fish to Lake Maas, and sometimes they don't mind going ashore to make a cameo as a bandit.
So as the only way from Saganis City to Red Leaf City, Burton. Joseph's choice to do it here was also thoughtful. The Sawa Fishman bandits ransacked the carriage of the Faist family, killing them all. At first glance, it seems to have some basis, after all, there are endless bandits in the Far East, and there is news of robbers every day, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many mistakes and omissions in it. Although the Sawa Fishman can go ashore, the time to leave the water is limited according to the different physiques, and due to the racial characteristics of the strong light and temporary blindness, they cannot fight in the day at all. Not to mention that others can't figure out how the Sawa Fishman is only comparable to the strength of kobolds and goblins (the strength of landing operations has been greatly reduced), and how they can defeat the elite guards from the Faist family with their rudimentary three-spear forks and heavy crossbows.
After a little analysis, there are many doubts, and considering the purpose of this team going to Red Leaf City, I believe that most people will target Morey. Although infighting is generally forbidden in families, the son of the patriarch of the family, who does not do something out of the ordinary, can explain this matter if he pushes himself and others. Morey, as the son of Ile, has had a smooth ride over the years, but as soon as Ile has an accident, the family will take back the fiefdom, and without a little affection, Morey is angry and kills people to blame Shahua Fishman.
This is precisely the "truth" that Bolton wants the crowd to know, and whether there will be more rational people who deduce the role of the Joseph family in this matter according to the principle of "who has the greatest benefit" is not in the scope of Bolton's consideration at all.
As long as Yves Force. What Faist believes or wants is this "truth". What does it have to do with what others think so, he will naturally shut up those guys when the time comes!
In the Saber Castle, the underground council chamber with only two people seemed a little empty.
"You've decided? Little Morey can't live without you now! Ios looked at the stubborn woman in front of him, a little helpless.
Now is the time when the support of these old men of Saber Fort is needed, but ......
"You don't have to persuade me, Ios. With you and the others helping Morey, he can at least keep a Red Leaf City and Saber Castle, and there's nothing wrong with being a rich man. Hehe, at least you don't have to carry as many responsibilities as Ire. ”
“......”
Ios wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at the woman who was still smiling but still had tears left.
The first confidant in life is enough! "I envy you, my friend!" Ios thought.
"The dark region is dangerous, don't be reckless if there's any danger, Martina!"
"Yes, Captain Ios." Martina playfully gave a military salute, diluting the atmosphere of parting.
