The Neuer family mansion, the Arcane Enchantment Chamber.

The patriarch Lunze sat in the middle of the seat, his expression slightly stiffened, and on the chairs on the other two sides sat a man and a woman, respectively, and the identities of these two people were self-evident to be able to participate in a secret meeting of this specification.

Lima, the treasurer, and Selous, the captain of the guard.

"Patriarch, I have temporarily concentrated the family assets according to your previous instructions." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lima, who was the chief financial officer, took the lead in speaking, "The Neuer family has thousands of years of family heritage, and these are the capital we have accumulated, as for whether it is enough...... It also depends on the patriarch's specific plans and thoughts******* Ce nodded, did not speak, but directly turned his head to Selous on the other side.

"There is no problem with the family's combat effectiveness, and it can survive turmoil again and again...... But what I don't understand, Patriarch, is why you're so eager for us to prepare in advance? Selous looked at the patriarch on the throne in confusion and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the last change ......."

Before Selous could finish his words, he was interrupted by the voice of Lima opposite him: "Selous! The patriarch must have his own ideas, and it's so rude for you to say that! ”

"I'm also thinking about the interests of the family!"

"Enough!" Just as Lima was about to quarrel with Selous, Lenzer, who was on the throne, suddenly interrupted the two of them in a low voice, "Selous, let me ask you a question...... The Neuer family has been neutral for thousands of years, what do you think about this? ”

"It's a kind of self-preservation, I don't agree, but I don't object...... In this way, we can stay out of the matter and pass it on in the Pale Nest. Selous paused for a moment, then replied.

"Reima, what about you?"

Lenzer didn't comment on Selous's answer, but turned to look at the treasurer on the other side.

"This ...... Why did the patriarch ask that? Lima, who was in charge of the Neuer family's finances, naturally couldn't be a stupid woman, and she could tell at a glance that there was something in Lenze's words, "Do you just want to know our opinion?" ”

"Don't ask so much, answer my questions first." Lenzer shook his head and continued to ask, "Tell me what you think. ”

"I'm good at managing money, and I don't really care much about these things, but if I have to, I think it's a smart way to survive." Lima paused for a moment, and said eloquently, "The royal power has changed several times, although our family will not gain any benefits from it, and it will even attract infamy...... But this is indeed a way of survival, on the other hand, the big families that were smash hits in the past seem to have been annihilated in the long river of time. ”

"So what do you two think, how can you continue to be in this state?" Lenzer asked in a whisper with his hands folded and his chin on his lean.

"Keep it up? As long as you keep the status quo, isn't it? Selous said questioningly.

"On this point, I agree with Selous...... Although our family's wealth, influence, and combat power are not the strongest in the Pale Nest, this is where our advantage lies, because we have maintained neutrality for thousands of years, and our family's prestige is very high among ordinary civilians, so if we really want to guide public opinion, it can be easy, right? Rima said as she touched the hair hanging down her forehead, "What's more, with the combat power that our family currently has, even Zagonus can't force us to join his camp, and that's the most important thing." ”

After listening to Lima's words, Lenzer immediately nodded, sighed and said in a low voice: "That's right, this last point is the key to our family's ability to maintain a neutral attitude all the time, so have you ever thought about it, what if one day our family doesn't have this advantage?" ”

"Hahaha...... The patriarch is too worried, it is impossible. When Selous heard Lenze's words, he immediately laughed, "Not to mention that our family guards are all the elite of the elite, just the selection of talents from the commoners, there is no family in the Pale Nest that can compare to us, they are all high, and they don't pay attention to talent but to pay attention to what bloodline...... How could such a guy be our opponent! ”

After Selous finished speaking, Lima found that his patriarch still had the same sad face, and immediately relieved him: "I know that the patriarch is worried about the current Heavenly Fury Empress, didn't you say it yourself?" Boisel has a powerful arcane power, but he doesn't have a ruling mind, so he shouldn't be afraid...... Moreover, our family is the only one in the Pale Lair that has intersections with the human kingdom on earth, even if she is the Empress of the Heavenly Fury, she will not dare to do anything to us, we are neutral, we represent the people of the Heavenly Fury Clan! ”

Lenzer didn't speak, still in the same posture as before, and didn't even move.

"I said patriarch, now that you should tell us why you suddenly made such a change in the family...... Nothing we do has yet surfaced, but when discovered, it's all a sign of careerism! Selouston paused for a moment, and finally turned the conversation between the three of them to the right track, "Let's not talk about what Boisel thinks, even those ministers who are not on the same page as her will take the opportunity to trouble us, right?" After all, there should be many politicians who are not used to the way of life like our family. ”

"That's my question, Patriarch." Lima nodded, and then answered, "Gather assets and personnel, purchase food and magic scrolls, and contact affiliated clans...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like you're going to make a big move. ”

"Well......" Lenzer sighed again, finally shaking his head, and whispering into the void behind him, "Lord Wengrass...... Please come out and tell them in person. ”

Lenzer's words caused both Selous and Lima to be stunned for a moment, and then they reacted and looked together in the direction in which Lenzer was speaking.

Is the patriarch crazy?

This is the Arcane Enchantment Conference Room, a sacred territory for the high-ranking members of the Neuer family to negotiate important matters, and even people with a slightly lower status in the family cannot enter, and it is the Pure Land of Bliss where they can talk about everything freely......

But now, the patriarch actually brought in a stranger without them knowing it?!
