"A small research result, it would be great if the Young Lord of the Ice Lotus could see it, why don't you take this as an apology for disturbing the wedding of the two classmates?"

Normal personalities Jiao Ming and Binglian glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Evan to really implement that sentence that seemed to be a joke. Everyone is a lord who has received or is about to lead a piece of land, and they are also considered political figures. Even if we can't put all the principles of putting interests first, we also understand that we can't expect others to be emotional.

And what Evan meant by this, it seems that the content sent is not a dragonfly to read the outline of the catalog, but the results of practical magic experiments and the 'magic interference meter', which will undoubtedly save the Crocodile Magic Research Institute a lot of trial and error costs, including time, manpower, materials, etc.

Such a 'big giveaway', saying that it is purely out of classmate friendship or apology, is an insult to the IQ of the two. Pretending to be confused and reaching out to ask for it is of course an option, but first of all, it is inevitable that the discerning person will see it as a joke, and at the same time, it will also cut off the possibility of long-term further cooperation.

If there were no others present, Jiao Ming, a normal personality, might not mind taking advantage of himself like this and giving up long-term interests, after all, it was to see that Evan, a handsome guy, was unhappy, and there was nothing wrong with not getting along with each other.

But Ice Lotus, who is also a little arrogant and has a headache about the progress of Crocodile Territory's magic research, doesn't think so. It's okay to just listen to the table of contents, the outline of the experimental procedures, and the direction of the research, after all, strictly speaking, these are the directions pointed out by the personality of the silent person, and I believe that the normal personality Jiao Ming can also do it, but now it is not possible.

Not to mention the reverse engineering of concrete impermeable additives led by himself, most of the research projects are all in reverse Trotling's products, or how to eat fart, how not to annoy. If you can use this to repair the relationship and establish a long-term cooperation mechanism, it doesn't seem to be a loss to betray Jiao Ming to Tro to give Tro an idea.

"Evan is so sincere, then we thank you. Binglian quietly changed her name, "In this way, when you get married, although our crocodile collar gives a small gift, it is not very decent, and we should make up for it." ”

When the Tro Territory's encroachment on the Folke Kingdom shocked the entire kingdom unity, the Crocodile Territory also intervened as a mercenary. If it was according to the Ice Lotus's heart, it would not be so 'upside down', but after all, the Ice Lotus is just a young lord who has become less 'traditional' due to the practice of fire magic, and some things are not easy to object on the grounds of personal feelings.

"Binglian is polite. Evan understood the meaning and smiled very kindly, "It's just that the enchantment requires a large number of water magicians, and the needs of the army soldiers completely coincide. It's hard for me to choose. If the crocodile collar can support one or two, joint research and development and production, it is a win-win situation.

And to tell you the truth, as a talented person in water magic, I also have some research in enchantment. Your traditional method of using your own blood as a guide is fast, but it is too inefficient and not very 'elegant', and there is a need for improvement. ”

Jiao Ming, a normal personality, disagrees with cooperation, but greatly agrees with the improvement of blood enchantment, which is too scary. Chunyu pouted subconsciously, obviously feeling that it was very comfortable to have some blood in her hands. Binglian groaned slightly, but she didn't expect any big loopholes, and nodded slightly to lean towards this 'going abroad work' plan.

Compared with the more harmonious atmosphere of conversation here, the newly built five-story building in Jindu City, which serves as the Bawen family's office in Beijing, can be described as a chicken and a dog.

The attendants ran around in a panic, delivering news to all parts of the family and allies near and far, and sending feedback to the head of the family with the determination and expression of the execution ground. For no other reason, a steward of the family's intelligence department who refused to use the telegraph system due to tradition and caused the delay in news had been shot dead on the spot.

Mr. Anke, who is in charge of the Golden Wheat Entertainment City, recently received an urgent notice with only the word 'quick return', and out of his usual distrust of spatial teleportation magic, he chose to return in a floating tray, accompanied by another steward and niece Saya. When the three of them entered, they almost dropped their jaws in the face of such a chaotic situation, and the road was swept away by the light-hearted pleasure of holding a successful press conference last night.

"Uncle, this is ......"

"Something is wrong. Mr. Anke frowned slightly, and first sorted out the things he was in charge of, and made sure that there were no omissions enough to cause such a situation, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't be nervous, it shouldn't be our problem. And pay attention to your expressions and words, don't panic, and don't call my uncle. ”

"Yes, Mr. Anko. Saya nodded in acknowledgement, but shrank behind Mr. Anko. In my past memory, I have never seen such chaos in the Beijing office, let alone the head of the family now.

The group of three went straight to the destination without being led. Familiarity is one thing, but the violent fluctuations of the fire magic medium in the position of the head of the house above the study are another. And as soon as he pushed the door in, he looked at the two strong men above the Nine Rings reproachfully.

"Why don't you use a teleportation circle. One of them, the head of the house, Barvin Pierry, questioned. This one was slightly older than Mr. Anko, with a white beard, three deep wrinkles and a scar on his forehead, a black birthmark the size of a fingernail on his cheekbones, and a traditional costume of the Green Flame Kingdom. The already blazing eyes were even more terrifying at this time because of the anger hidden in their hearts.

Mr. Anke quickly looked around at the serious familiar faces, realizing that he was the last, and he also realized that the matter was not small, and the mood of the two people above the nine rings was probably even more angry than they appeared. simply didn't make excuses, and directly apologized. "I'm sorry, but I will not delay the next time I receive an urgent notice. ”

Barvin Pierry snorted softly, unable to tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. Another elder who looked to be in his seventies waved his hand and gave the steps, "Sit down." Now that everyone is together, the meeting officially begins. ”

When the words fell, the only whispers and the sound of clothes rubbing in the big study completely disappeared, and the pins fell into the ear. Mr. Anke's heart sank even more, and he carefully sat in the vacant seat, trying not to make a sound.

After about ten seconds of silence, Barwin Pierry slowly spoke, "First of all, I have bad news for everyone, the family's underground rare metal smelter was attacked at about three o'clock this morning, and all the magicians and craftsmen left behind were killed. Attention is all, including our family members and employees, as well as our new alien allies. ”

Those who already knew the news did not say anything more, and those who did not know the news all looked shocked. Although Bawen Pierry didn't think that there were any ghosts among the core family members present, he also stared at everyone's expressions, hoping to see something.

But Mr. Anke, who heard the news at first glance, suddenly had a messy thought in his heart.

The first one is, of course, surprise, this rare metal smelter Rao is based on his status, and he doesn't know where it is, and he will be tired of being attacked. Secondly, although it is not gloating, there is also a kind of happiness. Because the stakes of this smelter are so important, the most direct members are involved in the management. No one in the family is close to him, and he has escaped both the attack and the subsequent investigation.

The afterglow swept over the expressionless face of a middle-aged man sitting under the head of the house, and quickly retracted it. This was the chief steward of the smelter, named Ogoya, and the second son of Barwin Pierry, who was almost destined to be the next head of the family. He was promoted to the Ninth Ring at the age of forty, which is considered a medium level among the direct bloodlines of the top family, but he still has some talent in business management, and the others are mediocre.

In general, the impression given to these older generations is that they are qualified keepers.

At the same time, he involuntarily began to freely testify about the identity of the attacker, and then secretly shook his head, suspecting too many targets. It is possible for several dukes and marquis families who are in a hurry to ascend to the throne, and even the royal family cannot guarantee that they will not secretly carry out such a black hand. The McShaler family, while the most suspicious, has become less suspicious.

Then I remembered another thing, it seemed that the young lord of the crocodile leader who was 'invited' away by the underground alien race last night should pass through this smelter and enter the deeper underground world, and I don't know how he is alive or dead. However, the rest of the Golden Maizi Entertainment City are all small minions, and there is no big incident, so there is no need to worry.

In the end, I came to the conclusion that this is a big deal, but it doesn't involve my own head, just act according to orders and strictly manage my part not to be angry, there is nothing to worry about.

Mr. Anko was thinking in his mind, and the meeting continued. After a few more brief words, Bawen Pierry asked Ogeya to publish and analyze all the information he had gathered.

It should be noted that because of the need for confidentiality, the smelter does not have a strong person in the Nine Rings, so there is no dereliction of duty. But the one who should have been alerted and rushed there in time was also suspected of dereliction of duty, and being named to introduce the situation at this time undoubtedly showed that the head of the family had no intention of pursuing more. The people present had no other way than to sigh 'kiss their son'.

And this almost determined next head of the family still showed a capable side. In the face of many uncles, he is calm and calm on the premise of making small mistakes, and he does not stumble when he speaks without script.

First, the traces of the battle at the smelter site were reproduced without major loopholes, and the total value of human and material damage was assessed, and then the aftermath was proposed: strengthen secrecy and try to repair relations with the aliens.

Needless to say, the former also gives a certain analysis, starting from the perspective of the same hatred, at least it sounds very feasible.

Finally, there is speculation about the identity of the attackers, and there is no doubt that it is the McShaler family. However, the inference process is all free evidence and speculation, and no tangible physical evidence taken from the scene is produced, of course, even if the physical evidence is taken out, the suspicion of framing cannot be ruled out. Everyone only listened to it as a very reasonable guess, and did not make any expressions of excitement.

When these words were over, the middle-aged man in Jiuhuan seemed to be imitating his father's movements just now, looked around, and asked, "Do you still have any questions?" ”

"In terms of space markings, have they really been cleaned up thoroughly?Especially those boxes, since they are from Master Emily, can you ask one or two ......?" asked an old lady with nine rings, raising her hand.

"No need, those boxes have been verified to be just imitations of Xu Qinren, and the relevant procurement personnel are already investigating. Ogea replied.

"Haven't the aliens yet made a statement? Another asked.

"Not yet. Ogea frowned slightly, and continued, "But except for the injured Miss Neuna, all the aliens have returned to the underground, and from the description of the translator, they seem to be in a hurry. Although the probability is low, it is necessary to be prepared to deal with the flip. ”

Mr. Anke frowned secretly when he heard this, his own one-third of an acre of land was obviously inserted into the eyeliner, although it was the same family and had a different race factor, it was also unpleasant. Then he thought that this seemed to be an opportunity to show his face, and tilted his head to give Saya a hint to the side of the eyes, and then said: "Regarding the alien race, there is one thing, which is likely to be related to their non-expression. ”

Saya answered at the right time, briefly telling the special importance that the two-ringed alien clan attached to the young lord of the crocodile collar, and almost bit her tongue because of nervousness. As for the trivial matter of involving the personality of a madman, he would never dare.

After hearing this, Ogya asked, "Can you confirm the life or death of this crocodile lord young lord?" The duke's family should always have some means to confirm the life and death of the direct heir." ”

"I'm going to contact the Crocodile Collar. Saya hurriedly said and was about to leave.

"Wait. Ogeya stopped him, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Your name is Saya, aren't you?" Remember to be careful with your words, it is always troublesome when it comes to direct descendants. If there is a suspicion of involvement with the attacker, there is no need to say more. If it's just unlucky, we might be able to woo the crocodile collar or two. ”

Saya blushed, nodded yes, and walked out quickly. Of course, there is no concern for spring, but it is just a normal reaction of county and department-level cadres after being advised by the next senior official in an important meeting.

His own one-third of an acre of land was obviously inserted into the eyeliner, although it is the same family and has elements of different races, but it is also unpleasant. Then he thought that this seemed to be an opportunity to show his face, and tilted his head to give Saya a hint to the side of the eyes, and then said: "Regarding the alien race, there is one thing, which is likely to be related to their non-expression. ”

Saya answered at the right time, briefly telling the special importance that the two-ringed alien clan attached to the young lord of the crocodile collar, and almost bit her tongue because of nervousness. As for the trivial matter of involving the personality of a madman, he would never dare.

After hearing this, Ogya asked, "Can you confirm the life or death of this crocodile lord young lord?" The duke's family should always have some means to confirm the life and death of the direct heir." ”

"I'm going to contact the Crocodile Collar. Saya hurriedly said and was about to leave.

"Wait. Ogeya stopped him, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Your name is Saya, aren't you?" Remember to be careful with your words, it is always troublesome when it comes to direct descendants. If there is a suspicion of involvement with the attacker, there is no need to say more. If it's just unlucky, we might be able to woo the crocodile collar or two. ”
