034. Family Meeting (2)

On the evening of the 45th, Talos followed Sandra and Emma to Walter's Magic Manor for his first family meeting.

The Nepton family's conference room is a typical circular structure, with a total of ten stone pillars with a diameter of six feet arranged in a circle, which makes people can't help but immerse themselves in the solemnity of the years from the moment they enter the room.

The stone pillars are carved with snakes, lotus flowers and other delicate motifs, and at the top of each is a lifelike six-armed Naga statue of a man of various shapes and holding a wand.

The pillars were enchanted and emitted a pine-green magical aura, occasionally rolling up waves and currents that weaved into various patterns.

They are the seats of patriarchs and elders, each of which is more than ten feet high and symbolizes power.

Originally, there were only nine stone pillars in the conference room, seven of which were slightly shorter, representing the seven elders of the Nepton family, and two of which were slightly taller, representing the two leaders of the patriarch and the lord.

The tallest and most magnificent tenth stone pillar appeared after Sandra took control of the Neptune family, in a way that the king came.

Talos looked around and noticed that all the family members who were eligible to enter the room were already seated in front of the stone pillars - according to tradition, only members of the Neptune family who met the conditions of the multi-armed naga were eligible to enter the meeting room - the number was around thirty.

Therefore, at first glance, it was not the snake's tail that gave him a creepy average length of fifteen feet, but a pair of arms!

Yes, except for Talos and Emma sitting in the conference room at this time, they are all four-armed Naga, the identity and combat power of the bronze third-order high-level professional, and he is the only informal professional.

The members of the family did not shy away from their kindness, and they all nodded slightly when they noticed Talos's gaze, although there was a trace of regret and sigh hidden in the depths of their eyes.

At the top of each of the seven lower pillars sits a four-armed naga with a six-armed statue of a naga with its back and a long snake tail dangling.

They were the seven elders of the Neptune family of this generation, five women and two men, wearing gorgeous magical robes and a Neptune family crest on their chests, and they exchanged meaningful and thoughtful glances with each other after seeing Talos appear in the conference room.

- The coat of arms of the Nepton family is round, silver, and has four elements.

In the center are two wands of gold and silver, one crossed and one wrapped around a poisonous snake, and above the wand is the face of a woman with snake hair, and the shading is a wave.

On a slightly higher stone pillar, sat a sweet-looking female four-armed Naga, dressed in a silver-green magic robe, who was stunned at first when she saw Talos, and then smiled even more and made a "welcome" gesture to him.

Florence Nepton, Talos's aunt, has been in charge of the family affairs at Walter's Magic Manor, and is Sandra's right-hand man, just like Leonhard.

If Florence hadn't known his identity for a long time, it would have been difficult for Talos to connect the sweet-looking, ever-smiling four-armed Naga with Sandra.

One of them is cold and arrogant, the other is gentle and sweet, and they are completely different looks and personalities.

When Sandra sat down at the top of her own stone pillar, the family meeting officially began.

The first few topics seemed a bit boring to Talos, and it was several family members who reported to Sandra about the benefits of the family business, and a series of numbers and terms gave Talos the illusion of attending a company meeting from another lifetime.

Time passed little by little, probably thinking that no one would pay attention to him, Talos secretly yawned, and quietly calculated whether to eat four mantis crickets or a large seafood platter when he returned, and then successfully harvested a glare from Emma.

β€œ...... Affected by the Schulz family's joint entry into the field of magic prop manufacturing with the Otto and Graf families, the family's market share in this field fell by three percentage points this month, and the profit increased by five percentage points compared to the same period last year......"

The manufacture of magic props has always been a traditional industry of the Nepton family, involving many fields such as wand making, magic robe weaving, magic scroll making, magic armor production, and magic weapon forging.

- One level higher than the Black Sea Knights, the Naga swordsmen (Bronze 3rd Order) who belong to the Black Sea Ice Peak Praetorian Guard, from wearing armor to weapons, have been enchanted and made for Nepton.

Sandra didn't say anything about this, looked at Florence and asked, "How far is the progress of the Spellbook research?"

"The Spellbook can currently hold up to five mid-tier spells or two high-tier spells, and is in the final stages of testing and is expected to be available on the market in July this year. ”

"Hurry up, I hope the Schulz family will soon realize a mistake, the field of magic item making is not something they can easily set foot in if they want to. ”

"Yes, Patriarch. ”

"Do the other elders have any agenda items to add? or the end of the meeting. ”

Finally waiting for this session, Talos perked up and straightened his back, which was what he was here for tonight.

"Patriarch, I have a topic here, about the Special Genius Clause for Military Service in the Naga Kingdom. A male four-armed naga stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Sandra and the seven elders.

Hey, things were a bit of a surprise to Talos, and he didn't hear a word about it before he entered the conference room.

Also unexpected was Nils, whose rich life experience made him immediately understand that there were many people who wanted to deprive Talos of his inheritance, but there were more family members who rushed to show favor to Sandra, and a copy of the "Special Genius Terms for Military Service in the Naga Kingdom" was enough to explain a lot.

Military service is a tradition in the Naga kingdom that has lasted for seven centuries since its birth, and nobility privileges and exemptions from military service have been brought up every once in a while.

The unfortunate death of Talos, a genius mage, has been a hot spot for the Nepton family recently, and if it weren't for Sandra's order and the fact that even Florence was staying in the magic manor, it is estimated that the family members who went to visit Talos in the Evelyn Palace these days could easily break a hundred.

Like Niels, the patriarch and the seven elders unanimously agreed to the Special Genius Clause and decided to submit it to the Kingdom Council for review immediately.

Nils sat in his seat, observing the expressions of the family members, especially the one who had tried to convince him to join in stripping Talos of his inheritance.

Will they persist in such a situation?

"Patriarch, there's also an issue hereβ€”" Naga, a female no younger than Nils, stood up and looked around, "about the list of successions. ”

Here it comes!

Both Talos and Nils looked at the four-armed Naga with interest.

The years have not left too many traces on the four-armed Naga named Helveg, and with a reserved smile on her face, her voice falling clearly in Talos's ears through the water: "It may be a bit blunt to say this, but there is no precedent for the Nepton family to occupy the position of heir to the throne from ancient times to the present. ”

PS:

1. The "Naga Kingdom Special Talent Clause for Military Service" borrows the name of the "English Football League Special Genius Clause", and the content has nothing to do with it.

2. Thank you for the reward O(∩_∩)O
