Under everyone's attention, the Troops family patriarch slowly stepped out of the carriage.

It was two white-haired old men who were sad and angry.

The sad old man walked in front, the angry old man followed, the two slowly climbed the steps of the high platform, every behavior and action represented the most authentic aristocratic etiquette, so that people could not find fault with it at all, many of the nobles waiting on the high platform were already a little restrained, and they began to worry about whether they would do something unruly to anger these two old men who seemed to be in a bad mood.

Although they are not at all as gorgeous as the Morgan family elders in terms of appearance on stage, they are also not lacking in attention.

"Lord Raff, Lord Levi, these two are really models for my generation!"

"The Trupps family, which has a long heritage, is really leisurely!"

The aristocrats' sycophants are always ever-changing, and they can always find each other's most comfortable points and make a touching sycophant.

The sad old man nodded lightly to the nobles around him without saying a word, and his bitter face made many people unable to understand the old man's emotions, while the angry old man ignored it, just stared at Xima not far away with a pair of eyes.

The sad old man named Raff calmly walked through the crowd and sat down on the seat symmetrical to the patriarch of the Morgan family, looked at the still vacant lower position, frowned slightly, and then nodded with a bitter face to the two patriarchs of the big family who had arrived a step earlier and were sitting quietly in their seats.

The two old men also bowed slightly, their faces expressionless.

The civilians under the high platform began to commotion again.

Because the patriarch's carriage of the Mutes family has arrived, compared to the luxurious carriages of the patriarchs of the previous big families, the frame of the patriarch of the Mutes family can be called scum, not only is it completely decorated, but it is also simple and abnormal, although the commoners of Windy City have heard of it for a long time, but it is really witnessed in such a strange aristocratic event, and it still makes the commoners buzz and discuss, with a hint of imperceptible intimacy. The family crest of the Mutes family is a roaring lion with one paw on a giant sword, the other paw raised high in the air as if to grasp something, and the lion's eyes are inlaid with two red crystals as the characteristic mark of the patriarch.

On the high platform, Les leaned back slightly and whispered a few words to Sima, Sima turned his head to look around, and saw that the low-key Fili family was already waiting there in a position near the corner, he smiled and nodded to Old Man Mark, and did not look at Locke, who was extremely dissatisfied next to Mark, turned around and whispered a few words to Les and stopped talking.

Rhine paid no attention to the buzz of the crowd around him, although he heard it clearly. His body is very straight, even when he walks, he is still not swaying or high-spirited, giving people a solemn atmosphere, at a glance, he knows that he is from a serious military background, coupled with his identity as a real civilian, so that the civilian community in Windy City immediately has a good feeling, and even many people cheer for him.

He was accompanied by two men who got out of the carriage, a mysterious man covered in a huge black cloak who got off the carriage and stopped there, and the other was a thin old man who was always grinning, the fourth elder of the family, Randolph Lee, who followed Rhine all the way up to the high platform.

"The elder of the Rhine clan is heroic and extraordinary, and he is a person!"

"Lord Rhine's majestic majesty!"

There was a lot of sycophants, but no one raised the question of age, and the head of the Gao Yadi family, Les, snorted mockingly, and his head couldn't laugh.

Rhine didn't pay too much attention to the compliments of the nobles, just nodded politely, and then sat down at the head of the Trupus family, nodded to everyone present and sat there without saying a word.

Without making everyone wait too long, two carriages with their own characteristics drove out of the entrance side by side.

A pure white frame that rarely appears in front of people is white and makes people feel polluted even if they look at it a few times, carved with a variety of exquisite patterns, lightly shallow, moderately pleasant, showing the very solid skills and profound artistic skills of the craftsmen who make the car, a family emblem on the body is painted with a giant, raising his hands to the sky and the ground, and the two small pure white crystals at the position of the giant's eyes show that this is the exclusive car of the family patriarch, which is the family of the contemporary city lord of Windy City, the Gaia family!

The other carriage is made of red hardwood, and only those who know how to know this red hardwood is called Red Flame Wood, although it is only a low-level magic material, if you know that the noble spellcasters of the Xiong Li Realm only buy this wood on the basis of "two", you will not feel that this carriage has anything to do with cheapness. The family emblem on the carriage is three raging flames, and the core of each flame is a fire magic crystal, and the carriage of the divine dragon who is the contemporary head of the Bit family only has a fire magic crystal on one of the flames, which explains the problem!

The two carriages stopped almost at the same time in the same position in front of the high platform, which fully demonstrated the skill of the drivers, but no one would turn their eyes to them at this time, because the doors of the two carriages opened at the same time, and the two old men who were about to tremble when they stamped their feet came out of the carriage.

Silently looking at each other.

There was silence in the central square.

A rare tacit understanding between commoners and nobles at this moment.

Two old men, one with gray hair, their skin wrinkled like waste paper that had been vigorously rubbed, their complexion was dull and covered with dark age spots, and their eyes were cloudy, and they even gave people the illusion of staggering and unsteady. The other's hair was gray but neatly combed, a few deep wrinkles on his fair skin lay there in an unstoppable way, and a pair of eyes were deep and bright, shining with wisdom.

"Uncle Sean, how many years haven't you seen you?" the younger old man was the first to leave his white frame and walked quickly towards the old man beside the Red Flame Wooden Carriage, with a natural sense of closeness in his tone, "You are still the same. ”

"Hehe, I'm too old," said the big man of the Bit family named Sean in his hoarse and deep voice, "but you, Hogan, are still very young, and this world has always belonged to you. ”

"You're too much praise," Hogan, the patriarch of the Gaia family, smiled humbly and helped up Old Man Sean as if he were a nephew, "Is Rodriguez still busy in the provincial capital? It's time to come back and honor your old man." ”

"yes, I'm coming back," Sean said with a smile and patted Hogan's hand.

The two of them chatted like this and slowly walked up to the high platform, and at this moment, the high platform, including the first few family chiefs, had already stood up to welcome the arrival of the two, but the nobles who were originally guarding the edge of the high platform and were ready to greet each other suddenly became dumbfounded, because many of them didn't know the old man who was supported by the patriarch of the Gaia family!

Ignoring the "young" aristocrats standing around them, the two old men walked straight to the seats on either side of the seven seats, next to the central seat.

The central seat was always vacant but still there.

Old Man Sean smiled at Clan Chief Ruff, who was sitting next to him, "Is your grandfather well?"

Raff bowed respectfully and said, "Your health is okay, thanks to you." ”

Old Man Sean shook his head and said, "Where can I be blessed, it's your grandfather's own blessing." ”

Raff nodded yes.

Old man Sean smiled and nodded to Rhine again, who also bowed respectfully, looking grateful.

Hogan, who was already seated, also smiled at the Morgan family patriarch beside him, "Patriarch Edmund's water attribute energy is more handy. ”

Patriarch Morgan Edmund bowed slightly, "Your praise is just a small gain." ”

Hogan smiled and waved his hand elegantly, "At our level, it's a good thing to be able to get something, and we can't ask for too much," he looked at Les Dao, the head of the Gao Yadi family who was sitting on the other side of Edmund, "Le Patriarch is the same, I heard that you also accepted Fang Mei's concubine, you are very comfortable." ”

Les laughed twice and said without any embarrassment, "While you still have a little energy, you can be a little presumptuous, so that you can see you laugh." ”

"It's good to be young," Hogan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, "It's a good thing that you can fight for the family for a few more years when you're young." ”

Edmund and Les nodded yes.

"Then we're all here," said Old Man Sean, looking at Hogan, "it's rare that all of us can get together." ”

"yes," Hogan replied with a smile, "and we old fellows have managed to get together through a children's fight, so let's get started." ”

The scene was silent for a moment, and the Les patriarch of the Gao Yadi family didn't want Hogan's mouth to be cold, and said, "Originally, the genius Fias of the Bit family, the genius Cohen of the Mutes family, and the Daley of the Fili family had a fight, but I heard that the little Cohen of the Mutes family seems to have disappeared some time ago, I don't know what the Rhine patriarch said?"

Rhine was silent for a long time before he spoke, "It's just a rumor. ”

There was a slight commotion, and a few secret glances swept towards the Fili family in the corner, and the look of surprise on Locke's face flashed for a moment, but it was still captured by many people with a heart.

"I heard that the fiefdom of the Mutes family, Fort Aitter in Nausica, was attacked by a tide of beasts some time ago, and the losses were not small?" After a period of silence, the Raft patriarch of the Tropes family suddenly spoke, but pushed the Mutes family into a new awkward position, causing Old Man Sean and Hogan and others to look at him meaningfully.

"It was caused by a group of thieves secretly driving away, although there were some losses, and the left and right were just some gold coins, which is nothing," Rhine paused and added, "However, given that the location of Aitburg is too close to the Arashiyama Mountain Range and is easy to be used by gangsters, Nausicaa will probably be banned for a while, and whether Fort Aitburg will continue to open will be discussed and decided by the family for the next step." ”

"That's a pity," the Les patriarch of the Gao Yadi family took over the topic with a smile, "Nausicaa is one of the best supply points to enter Arashiyama, and now the Mutes family has lost a sum of income and has to support the civilians there for nothing, even the adventurers and mercenaries have to complain." ”

"The safety of the territory is the most important thing, and it is the lord's power to ban the territory," the old man Sean said slowly, "There is no need for others to say more, but planning to attack the noble territory is almost equivalent to provoking the majesty of the empire, and the Patriarch of Les is responsible for the safety of Windy City, and it is not okay not to investigate." ”

Les still smiled and said, "Your old man's words can't be wrong, this damn gangster openly challenged the majesty of the Empire, and this crime can't get away with it," he said as he glanced at the Fili family in the corner without a trace, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
