The Trupps family compound is not far from the Rhine family.

The courtyard is full of antiquity, whether it is the white jade statue with a slight yellow glow, or the smooth mahogany fence that has been touched to the surface, all show that this is a family with a long heritage, and even the things in the corner of the compound that have been handed down from the ancestors will be well protected, and some things with historical significance will even be isolated by a fence, and no one in the family is allowed to approach to avoid damage.

The minions walked cautiously, the guards rigidly patrolled, just as they had done hundreds of years before their predecessors.

In an elegantly decorated but slightly cramped study, two old men, who were not young, sat across from each other, silent.

"Big brother, isn't it a bit too much for the Bit family to open the middle door to welcome Rhine, this is a courtesy that you didn't receive when you visited them in the first place!" said one of the old men with an upturned eyebrows and a naturally angry face.

"Alas, in the end, it is such a big event as the Mutes family joining the camp, and it is also appropriate to be so courteous, and the former patriarch of my Trups family visited the Bit family in the first place, wasn't it the same treatment?" said a strange old man who was born with a sad face.

The Trupps family, two brothers of the Heavenly Phase.

"Hmph, it's not right anyway, the eldest brother is the second person in the Windy City military, so it seems that he is more valued by the Bits family, the Bitt family has held the identity of the first person in the Windy City military for so many years, isn't it that there are new people who forget the old people, and think that my Trups family is easy to bully, right?!" The angry old man was even more angry.

"Alas," the sad old man looked even more bitter, as if he had suffered endless injustices in his life," The Trups family has failed to invest several times in a row in recent years, although it only lost some gold coins, but it is a blow to the prestige of the family, plus my grandfather is getting old, but you and I have never been able to break through the dragon power realm, my Trupus family is really at a critical juncture, just holding on to a breath, if it weren't for the breath brought by the family for hundreds of years, do you think that an ambitious family like Filip would be willing to tear apart the emerging Mutes family instead of my Trups family?!"

The angry old man punched and left a shallow mark on the stone wall, and the sad old man glanced at the shallow mark and shook his head with a wry smile, "The strength of the second brother is still stagnant, and it is similar to the eldest brother, it still doesn't work, alas." ”

The angry old man restrained his anger, and actually gave birth to some sadness, "Longli Realm, alas, some people enter in a dream, and some people waste their lives, but what, what a ......."

"Alas, let's not talk about this for now, tomorrow I will go and see what kind of good show the Mutes family does, after all, we will drag him behind for a few days to block the wind and rain for us, so that you and I can have more time," the mourning old man showed some joy, "The missing little boy is really a gospel, the Mutes family will not have more than ten years to produce another offspring worth cultivating, more than ten years, it should be enough." ”

"Enough is enough, not enough...... It's not enough," the angry old man mourned even more.

Both brothers were older.

――――――――――――――――――――

Before dawn, the central square of Windy City was bustling.

Since ten days ago, there have been servants of aristocratic families to supervise the workers from outside the city to transport huge stones, in a short period of time in the center of the central square set up a four or five meters high circular platform, the diameter of the platform is more than ten meters, the table surface is flat, except for a slight chisel mark to increase friction do not do any modification, it is worth mentioning that the platform does not set steps, for ordinary people this is undoubtedly a height that cannot be climbed, unless you are willing to move a ladder in front of the public to climb up.

There is a symbolic stone parapet three meters around the platform, which is intended to separate the platform from the viewer, but in general this parapet is more decorative, because it is too close to see the scene on the stage.

In Windy City, when there is a lot of excitement to watch, civilians are generally free, and even if there are some important matters at hand, they become less important.

What's more, it's such a buzz in the city today?

So people got up early in the morning and rushed to the central square, for fear that they would come late and even have no place to stand.

Strictly speaking, there are probably more people in the square this time than when the test is bigger, because for those who have watched the same test competition every year, the matter of three aristocratic geniuses who shine in the test competition is obviously more exciting.

And for those who do small business in the city, this is undoubtedly a good time, and while the day is still not yet dawn, the nobles and lords have not yet arrived, and they have already wandered through the crowd to sell a lot of early snacks.

"Harry, you've been here early this time," said an old man in the crowd who walked up to a middle-aged man who was looking on tiptoe onto the platform.

"Old Jack, it's not too late for you, there are too many people in front of you, can't you see the start of the competition on the platform clearly?"

"Look at your eyes, you're not as young as me, an old man, you haven't started! Look at this day, the sun hasn't come out yet, can the nobles get up?"

"That's right, don't say it, there was a peerless genius-like little girl among our civilians in the last big competition, and it really gave us a long face, * three aristocratic geniuses who have won the first place in the past few years have to fight, it's really amazing!"

"Well, I've heard that the girl joined the Mutes family after the test. ”

"Yes, where would the nobles let such a talented young man go," the middle-aged man was silent for a while and then said suddenly, "I heard that it was for the young master Cohen of the Mutes family to be a maid for this competition, and it was the fourteen-year-old spellcaster, but it can be regarded as lucky." ”

"Well, I have heard a few stories about this young master of the Mutes family, and he said that he is not as gentlemanly as other noble young masters, and he is a good person. ”

"Who knows, the nobles, alas. ”

"yes......"

Soon, the commoners were surprised to find that many nobles and lords got up really early today.

It seems that this commoner paradise where few nobles show up on weekdays has suddenly become a place where the nobles are also very happy to come, the sky has not yet dawned, and there are nobles' carriages coming to the high platform one after another, and the fat-headed and big-eared nobles and lords laboriously walked up the steps to the high platform, and then gathered together in twos and threes to whisper something to each other, and from time to time turned their heads to look at the entrance of the aristocratic area to drive into the square, as if waiting for something.

No one is seated.

Naturally, the commoners did not pay attention to the strangeness of the nobles, and only a few of them were nimble and slightly aware that the atmosphere was a little different, but they did not pay much attention to it, in their eyes, it was just a pleasure after all.

The sun was gradually rising, and most of the wealthy nobles had to rely on the support of the guards, and when they were sweating profusely and complaining to themselves, the people they were waiting for finally began to appear.

The first thing that appeared at the entrance was a carriage made of metal frame, the rigid aura and very few lines of extremely hard decoration made it look more like a chariot than a carriage that a nobleman should have, a giant sword pierced the clouds on the family emblem, it was the family emblem of the Gao Yadi family in the Seven Great Families, and the conspicuous emerald in the center of the giant sword revealed the fact that this was the family long frame!

One of the seven families, the head of the Gao Yadi family is here!

The nobles got rid of the support of the guards, came to the edge of the high platform, squeezed out a smiling face to meet the old man with a friendly smile on his face, the people who came were in good spirits, and climbed the high platform step by step without relying on the support of any guards and servants, and even did not blush or panting, and waved to the nobles who arrived early on the high platform, which made many people on the stage quite flattered.

"Elder Les is in good health, it's really a blessing for the people of Windy City!"

"Where can Patriarch Les see that he is more than one hundred and eighty years old, and at most forty or fifty!"

"The elder of the Les clan is a powerhouse in the Dragon Power Realm, and his age of one hundred and eighty is only equivalent to twenty or thirty years old!

Seeing that the two fat nobles were almost arguing about his age, the visitor felt a little amused and stopped, "If even I am twenty or thirty years old, how can you praise him when the Rhine patriarch arrives?"

The nobles looked at each other, but the head of the Gao Yadi family, who was called the head of the Les family, had already laughed and walked to the edge of the seven prominent seats in the center of the high platform and sat down.

It didn't take long for the arrival of another carriage to quiet down the nobles who were complimenting each other, and they came to the edge of the high platform again, watching the luxurious carriage full of gold and silver jewelry slowly drive into the square, and a huge gold coin on the family emblem that occupied most of the badge Shi Shiran was lying on top of a pile of jewels, it was the Morgan family, known as the richest of the seven families, and a white pearl on the same gold coin showed that this was also the frame of the Morgan family's elders!

Another big family patriarch is here!

Even the most unresponsive civilians knew that today's events might not be so simple, but the surprise in everyone's hearts was a little less excited!

This is also a real old man who doesn't look very old, and the old antiques of the same generation as the grandfathers and even great-grandfathers of many nobles on the high platform at this moment, have rarely appeared in people's sight of heavyweights, and what is awe-inspiring is that he is also a powerful dragon power realm spellcaster!

At this moment, all the commoners and nobles witnessed this great moment, because the old man who got out of the carriage did not choose to wait for the platform, but flashed a complex and huge dark blue six-pointed star pattern under his feet, and his body flew up, all the way to the height of the high platform, the old man began to take steps, step by step on the extremely stable six-pointed star with a slight brilliance, and then slowly paced to the seat next to the seat of the patriarch of Les, who had already stood up to show his respect, smiled and nodded to sit down first.

No one expected him to appear in such a way, so no nobleman had time to offer his most sincere greetings in front of him.

Neither of the two patriarchs spoke.

Then the scene fell completely silent.

The commoners were so frightened by the sky-like scene that they didn't dare to make a loud noise, so as not to disturb the god-like figures on the high platform, and the nobles were even more uncomfortable because they were too close to the two big people, and they were suppressed by the huge sense of oppression.

The only people who could stand peacefully behind the two and talk in a low voice were Gao Yadi's family, Lao Sima, and an important person of the Morgan family who was not very familiar to people and looked at most middle-aged.

Without making people wait long, another quaint shape looked obviously a little old but still atmospheric frame drove from the entrance again, a small but delicate redbud pattern on the carriage revealed that it was the Trupps family, one of the seven families, and the three small but just right amethysts on the purple gold stamen indicated that this was also the frame that belonged to the patriarch of the family!

The third patriarch of the big family is here!
