Chapter 47: The Family Secret Meeting
The secret chamber of the Mutes family.
The original good sense of space was a little cramped after accommodating too many people.
Rhine sat calmly in the middle, Linko stood behind him, Jason sat first under Rhine, he was currently the only second-generation heir of the family, and then the six elders, plus Serena and Burton, the butler of Aitburg that Linko knew.
There was a vacant seat next to Burton, where Captain Brooke was supposed to be sitting, but the family still hadn't heard from him.
Except for a few family business leaders who are out of town, this includes almost all of the family management.
"Four things," Rhine took the lead in speaking, "The first thing is that Cohen will go to the imperial capital to take the college entrance exam in a few months, we won't dwell on the question of whether he can pass the exam or not, the only thing that needs to be * heart is that he can't get to the imperial capital, Lao Qi, this matter still needs you to do it at that time." β
The Seventh Elder Eller looked back at Rhine deeply, and only after seeing the latter's resolute eyes did he slowly nod his head and say nothing.
"The second thing is also about the entrance exam, Cohen and Lilith each occupy one of the three public places, and the one that was originally allocated by my Mutes family is vacant, so let's discuss who is more appropriate?" Rhine continued, and then waited quietly for the others to speak.
"Wade broke through to the first order of Xiong Li some time ago, it's a good choice," the Third Elder Rod was the first to speak, Lin Ke's heart moved, Wade is the second son of the second uncle, is Mento's own brother, and their mother is the daughter of the Third Elder Rod.
"A few months is not enough time to consolidate its foundation, and it would be more appropriate to go next year," said the second elder, Sandi, in a decent manner.
"Talent is insufficient, and you need to make up for it diligently," Eller said coldly, he never gave face to anyone, which made the three elders frown slightly when they heard this.
"It's better to let Xue'er go," the fourth elder Lan Daofu said with a smile, "There are few school-age children in the family who are so talented." β
"Good idea!" Sixth Elder Paul seemed to have been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and when he heard this, he was startled by a loud roar, and then he also realized that his speech was a little abrupt, and scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Agreed," Ehler said succinctly.
"Agreed," Second Elder Sandy nodded.
Then the Fifth Elder Quincy replied slowly, "No comment." β
Third Elder Rhodes hesitated for a moment and seemed to feel that he was a little anxious, and remedied, "I also agree, Wade is only sixteen years old, so it's okay to go next year." β
Serena smiled at Elder Rhodes and said, "So I'll thank you uncles for Xue'er!"
Rhine glanced at Jason, who was bored beside him, frowned slightly, and finally made a final decision, "Then the quota is reserved for Cher, and the quota for the family next year is scheduled to be Wade, but if he can't consolidate the foundation within a year, it will be decided separately." β
Third Elder Rod said with joy on his face, "Don't worry, big brother, I will train that kid well!"
The crowd chuckled.
Lin Ke sighed in his heart, in the end, men from the military are born with little interest in intrigues, and it is no wonder that the Mutes family will attract others to be jealous if they can achieve such a degree of harmony and honesty within the upper echelons of a family.
"I have to say that this year's Mutes family's lineup is too strong, not to mention Cohen Jr., that is, Lilith and Cher are also geniuses among geniuses, all of them have hope, if all three of them can enter the God of War Academy this year, it will be a real sensation in the Windy City, and then those guys who are waiting to see Mutes's jokes will have to scratch their heads," Lan Daofu suddenly raised his eyebrows at Lin Ke and smiled.
Sandy also relaxed his expression but was reluctant to answer Lan Daofu's last topic, "In recent years, the ten people who went to the imperial capital to take the entrance exam in Windy City are more like going on sightseeing, going to a lot, but leaving too little, but after this year's test, many people feel that they have expectations." β
"It is said that the odds in Windy City are very high every year!" said Sixth Elder Paul suddenly.
Lin Ke's eyes lit up.
Serena glared at the Sixth Elder and said, "Sixth Uncle, how can you teach a child to gamble?" She glared at Lin Ke fiercely again and said, "If you let me know that you go to the imperial capital to gamble, see if I don't clean you up!"
The willow eyebrows are upside down, and there is no majesty.
Lin Ke was speechless for a moment, smiled wryly, but did not answer.
Rhein tapped his finger on the round table and said, "The third thing, about Aitburg," he paused and said suddenly, "Cohen, you speak." β
Lin Ke was slightly stunned, it was not easy for him to be able to observe such a meeting, but he was not stage frightened, he cleared his voice and said loudly, " Nausicaa is barren, except for the wind energy given by nature, there is almost nothing, but it is also rich there, because it is close to Arashiyama and not far from the sea, the abundant sea breeze brings moist water vapor, which creates special favorable conditions for plant growth, coincidentally, this time in Aitburg to resist the tide of beasts, we accidentally found a strange man, although perhaps it is because of the plants planted by this strange man that attracted the attention of the monsters, but these are not important, the important thing is that he will bring a new source of wealth to the family. β
"That's the cultivation of magical herbs," Lin Ke quickly attracted everyone's attention, even those who already knew some news. Because magic medicinal materials are consumables, their value is lower than that of magic materials, but also because they are consumables, so their demand is greater and more stable than that of magic materials, the God of War Empire is the largest exporter of magic materials, and has very mature business channels, all of which provide convenience and foundation for the cultivation industry of magic medicinal materials, but there are very few families engaged in this industry in the empire, I have understood the reason, that is, because most of the magic medicinal materials are extremely harsh on the growth environment and survival and breeding conditions, it is difficult to grasp it, it is difficult to find a suitable planting place, and it is even more difficult to find a person who knows how to plant, but now, we have found this place, which is Nausicaa, also found that person, a guy named Peter, if we can't eat the fat that is delivered to our mouths like this, I'm afraid the god of war will blame us for being too polite. β
The crowd laughed.
"Nausicaa was originally one of the best supply points to enter Arashiyama, but the benefits it can bring to the family are almost nothing, if it continues to maintain its policy of opening to the outside world, it may reveal the secret of the Mutes family's cultivation of magic plants, and must be abandoned, I think this unexpected attack by the beast tide is a good reason to close yourself," Lin Ke looked at Rhine, who nodded, and he continued, " The Magical Plant Industry initially required small-scale experimentation, and it was advisable to open up a small plot of land within Aitburg, where secrecy was a top priority. It is imperative to strengthen Nausicaa's overall defense capability, when expanding the scale of the industry, it will inevitably be planted in large quantities in Hanoi, and mature magic medicinal materials may attract the attention of Warcraft, but this point will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, and the pace can be slowed down, you might as well start after the initial small-scale magic plant industry begins to make steady profits, I believe that Nausicaa has faded out of people's sight at that time, and the construction of the territory will not attract too many people's attention. Then, the magic herbs that have been successfully cultivated are the high-grade magic herbs Blood Pattern Grass, and it is recommended that the planted and mature Blood Pattern Grass be secretly sold to various places and even foreign countries in batches and segments, and strictly control the amount of Blood Pattern Grass in a certain place and time to ensure profits, and at the same time, select absolutely trustworthy servants to teach Peter the cultivation techniques of Blood Pattern Grass, so that he can gradually get out and devote himself to the research work of discovering and cultivating new varieties of magic herbs, especially the magic herbs that are already produced in Arashiyama, it is recommended to focus on this research, even if this research in the early stage burns money and makes people feel heartache, it will never stopγ That's all I can think of, and I would like to ask the elders to add some pointers," Linko concluded his speech with a standard aristocratic salute.
There was silence in the chamber.
The amazement of the elders, Serena's relief, Jason's laughter, and Burton's respect were finally condensed into an uncontrollable smile on Rhine's face.
"Starting tomorrow, the sixth is responsible for garrisoning Fort Aitter to be responsible for the security of things, and a team of fifty people can be organized locally, and the family will issue equipment to support them, as a private soldier in the family territory, Burton will continue to be in charge of daily affairs, but he will focus on the development of the magic medicine cultivation industry, Cohen promised to give Peter the title of so-called senior servant, give him, and tell him that a year later, if he does well enough, Rhine will personally go to Aitburg to meet him, and the fourth will send a Wind Shadow team to be stationed in Fort Ait, responsible for peripheral security and intelligence, the security level is the highest, and Selena arranges the construction of the outer city wall of Nausicaa, and the project time, the length and scale are up to you, and you don't have to worry about money," Rhine paused and then smiled coldly, "because the fourth thing will help you solve this problem." β
Everyone here knew that the most important thing was coming, and they couldn't help but lift their spirits.
"Lord Sean, the Supreme Elder of the Bit Family, will participate," Rhine caused everyone to gasp as soon as he spoke," The Bit family will also dispatch three powerful high-level powerhouses and three hundred family guard knights, and my Mutes family will dispatch me and all of you here and the same three hundred family guard knights, except for the mysterious Dopton family, the other four families will receive a joint letter from the Bit family and the Mutes family on time at 0:00 tonight, so we must complete all the crackdowns before midnight, including the plundering of important wealth. β
There was a buzz in the chamber.
"Tonight?!Big brother, you mean to attack tonight?!" The sixth elder Paul was the most fierce one, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Isn't it a bit of a rush? we didn't have a plan beforehand?" Sandy said with a slight frown.
"It's still a while before dark, when is the time to launch a surprise attack?" said Randolph with a rare loss of smile.
"Ding Ding Ding!" Rhine's fingers hit the table with a sharp bang, and he said with a solemn expression, "There is a Philippe family within the family, of course, I know very well that it is not anyone who is staying here now, but that person must be able to contact one of us and gain considerable trust, this matter can be seen from the matter of Cohen's distress, I have secretly contacted and planned the plan of this raid with Lord Sean, a thunderous blow like a lion fighting a rabbit, and no accidents will be allowed!"
The crowd was silent.
Except for Linko and Serena, everyone here is from the military, so they naturally know the importance of intelligence, and the strong alliance between the two families of Bit and Mutes against the Fili family is indeed a boring battle like a lion fighting a rabbit.
"What is the goal of the battle?" the Third Elder Rhodes asked softly, his eyes already flashing with a burning light, they had been eager to fight for a long time.
"Let the surname Fili be removed from the history of Windy City, and even the Wind Shadow team that returned from Arashiyama has set off again to snipe the children of the Fili family in other places throughout the empire, with only one goal, no chickens and dogs!" Rhine's voice was cold, as if it came from the Nine Hells.
Chickens and dogs are not left.
