The day after Jugarvin Lombal left the Academy, Silver City 13's annual winter meeting began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAt nine o'clock in the morning, the hall of the parliament was crowded with representatives of various forces, including the aristocracy, the municipal organizations, the merchants' associations, the workers' associations, the law associations, the artists' associations, the social workers' associations, and representatives of various professions......

According to the usual practice, the incumbent prayer for rain was the first to speak and put forward a proposal.

"Gentlemen, ladies, good morning, I am Muyu Lily of the Valley, the waiter of the rain god, my topic today is 'the reserve and development of strategic resources in the city of prayer', please look at the screen, this is the reserve situation of the previous year......

With the indication of Muyu Lily of the Valley, several LCD screens at different angles display a group of data and related diagrams.

"Looking at the data, it's not hard to see that our fuel reserves have been declining, and our reserves of liquid psionic potions and black oil are also decreasing......"

Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said above, but several old men were blowing their beards and glaring below, and they all looked very unhappy.

"Look, look, I'm asking for something again." Colin Pence whispered with a frown.

"This girl, there are too many ideas." Morton Leling sighed.

Brandon Peter snorted coldly and did not speak. And Jiang Xiao, the patriarch of the fourth family, sat expressionlessly, as if in a daze.

"I suggest that after this year's Rain Prayer Festival, form a plane team and go to Desert No. 5 to open up land, establish a stronghold, and mine ores......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley continued above.

"We have this little bit of family background, and she still doesn't let it go, just like her adoptive mother back then." Colin said indignantly. Mu Yu Lily of the Valley wants to form a plane team, and most of the soldiers must be drawn from the private armies of the four major families, because the Rain God Guard is the elite unit of the thirteenth Silver City, shouldering the heavy responsibility of city defense, and cannot be arbitrarily transferred manpower.

"Those who come from the ground have been hungry since they were children, and they will definitely not let go if they can catch something to eat." Morton said with a smile. In fact, when he said this, he felt very helpless, and sometimes, knowing that the other party would come back to deal with him if he stood firm, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to make some concessions.

Brandon Peter snorted coldly again, but still didn't speak, while Jiang Xiao continued to be in a daze.

"At present, the situation in the world is becoming more and more tense, not long ago, the pattern of the Far East has changed dramatically, the original balance has been broken, and there are more and more frictions between the central continent and the western continent, as far as I know, at the winter meeting of this year's World Conference, the great nobles were divided into two factions, and perhaps in the next few years, there will be a war between the two sides, therefore, we must reserve strategic materials as much as possible in order to cope with ......"

"Even if there is a war between the central and western regions, what does it have to do with our Northern Wilderness?" Colin stood up and questioned loudly, interrupting Mu Yu Lily of the Valley's speech. The reason why he said this is because the situation in the Northern Wilderness has always been very stable, and there is basically no conflict of interest between the several major forces.

"The war may not affect the Northern Wilderness, but we just watch them divide the benefits? And then do nothing? Mu Yu Lily of the Valley asked rhetorically, and then, she smiled lightly, and that smile was like an iceberg that melted, which immediately attracted people's sideways. After attracting enough attention, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley glanced at Colin and said with a little disdain, "I'm still young, I don't want to die here of old age." Suddenly, there was silence in the venue, and then a burst of laughter erupted.

Colin was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Seeing that his old friend was deflated, Morton quickly pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to sit down.

"When you're old, don't worry about children." Morton reassured.

"Actually, she has a point, we have too few external interests." Jiang Xiao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Hmm......" After listening to Jiang Xiao's words, Brandon nodded thoughtfully. Several of them are old, and they don't have much momentum, and they just want to guard this square inch of land to retire. And over the years, there have been no talents who can take charge of themselves in the younger generations, so in terms of external interests, they have almost no expansion, and they are all eating the old books. Although they fight to the death internally, they are the most reliable partners when it comes to the outside. After all, they are in the same boat, and if the boat capsizes, everyone will have to fall overboard.

Seeing that Brandon had no objection, Colin sat down slowly and began to think carefully about the matter. He had to admit that Mu Yu Lily of the Valley was the most capable of the young generation of No. 13 Silver City, and there were many talents under him. In the past two years, she has been very prosperous in the Central Silver City, and judging from the last incident, she still has a close relationship with the Temple Princess.

If it had been placed in the past, they might have worried that Mu Yu Lily of the Valley would have teamed up with the Temple Princess to deal with them, after all, they had all participated in the plot against the third lady of the Lombal family back then, but now that Mu Yu Lily of the Valley had made a rain sacrifice, they would be people in the same boat, and in terms of fundamental interests, they would definitely be unanimous with the outside world.

After a while, Morton sighed, and took the lead in breaking the silence and said, "If you support her, when her wings are stiff, she will support the Nine Directions to govern, which in turn weakens our rights, if you don't support her, it can't be justified in reason, it's really a headache......"

"She dares!" Brandon opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice. Due to the excitement for a while, the volume was not controlled, which attracted the representatives on the scene to look over.

"Grandpa Brandon, do you have any thoughts on this proposal?" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley asked at the right time.

"It's okay!" Brandon said in a rough voice, in fact, he wasn't listening at all, he was just being watched by everyone, his old face couldn't hang up, and he had to find a staircase to go down......

After the winter meeting, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley personally delivered the prepared plan to the hands of the four family heads, and then left.

After a while, the four of them looked at the information in their hands and involuntarily took a breath.

"Our family's private army, how can she know better than me, I don't know many officers!" Colin was the first to lose his breath and shouted as he blew his beard.

"That's it......" Brandon waved his hand and sighed, "It's not necessarily a bad thing, just let her try." ”

Just when the four family masters were suffering from gains and losses, Qin Ke'er returned to the Fire Horn Temple and met the Grand Master in front of the holy fire.

At this moment, there was still an old man dressed in a gray robe and a seven-colored straw rope tied around his waist, but his spirit was a little sluggish.

"Ke'er, this is the Red Snake Grand Master."

"Good afternoon, dear elders." Qin Ke'er bowed and greeted obediently.

"Alas......" Grand Master Red Snake shook his head and said, "I'm not an elder, just a lost dog. ”

"Old friend, don't say that, you just can't bear to kill each other, so you give up ......resisting," the Fire Horn Grand Master hurriedly comforted.

"Yes~" Qin Ke'er also echoed, although she didn't know what was going on.

The Red Snake Grand Master faced the Holy Flame, was silent for a long time, and said, "I'm ashamed of my teacher......"

"That's all the sins of the snake witch doctor, and it has nothing to do with you." The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn said comfortingly.

"The Spirit Snake Temple has come this far, and no one can escape responsibility." The Red Snake Grand Master said.

"Old friend, what are your plans for the future?" The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn opened the topic, "If you don't dislike it, just stay here, and we brothers will be on an equal footing." ”

"The so-called two tigers in the mountains and no two commanders in the army, if the old friends don't dislike it, leave me to be a fueler." The Red Snake Grand Master arched his hand and said.

"How can this work?" The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn refused.

"If you don't agree, I'll leave." The Red Snake Grand Master stared at the holy flame and said lightly.

Looking at the stubborn old friend, the Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn was silent for a long, long time, and finally nodded.

"From now on, there will be no Red Snake Grand Master in the world, only the person who adds oil before the fire." After speaking, the Red Snake Grand Master untied the seven-colored grass rope around his waist and threw it into the fire.

"Ke'er, although you are not an evolutionary, but you also want to learn some physical defense techniques, you can worship the old man as a teacher and let him teach you some skills, okay?" The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn asked.

"Good!" Qin Ke'er replied crisply. Having a saint-level master is naturally a rare good thing.

"This ......," the old man looked a little hesitant.

"Ke'er, come and worship the master." The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn urged.

"Apprentice, I've seen the master." As she spoke, Qin Ke'er knelt down towards the old man.

Looking at the girl in front of him, the old man closed his eyes, then helped her up, and said: "If you don't dislike it, be my seventh apprentice, although your senior brothers and sisters have already carried me, I can't treat them as confiscated." ”

"Yes, master." Qin Ke'er said softly. She saw unspeakable sadness in the old man's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and her eyes turned red.

"Kid...... You...... What's wrong with you......" Facing the little apprentice who suddenly cried, the old man looked a little helpless.

"Happy, because it's ...... happy" The Grand Master of the Fire Horn hurriedly played a round, "Ke'er, the Fire Horn Temple is your home, and I am also half your grandfather, so I will set up a apprenticeship banquet for you, come and ......" He pulled the sleeve of his old friend and said, "Have a good drink and two glasses, today is a happy day......

At this moment, the great master of the horn of fire with extraordinary bearing turned into a scoundrel, and dragged the old man into the kitchen, persuading him to drink and steal meat to eat, making the old man cry and laugh. Qin Ke'er on the side saw that the Great Grandmaster of Huojiao, who was not smiling on weekdays, was like an old naughty boy at the moment, and she also burst into tears, and then tied her apron and made a side dish for the two old men.

"Ke'er is a good boy, what housekeeping skills do you have, secret treasures, you can't hide them." The Great Grandmaster of the Fire Horn said as he put his arm on the shoulders of the old man.

"What can I have, except this gray robe......" Speaking of this, the old man stopped, as if he remembered something, groped around his body for a while, found a rusty small iron box, and then called Qin Ke'er over and handed it to her.

When I opened the lid of the box, I saw that there was a cotton cloth inside, and a crimson serum was lying in the middle, which was the fire of life worth ten thousand gold.
