There are many noble surnames in the Republic of Steppen, as long as they are recognized by the Republic and receive a knighthood, even if it is a nominal baron, it is considered a noble surname. It's just that such aristocrats often can't integrate into the upper class society of the republic, and can only show off their might in small cities.

Strictly speaking, the real aristocratic family must at least have an ancient surname that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their power has infiltrated every corner of the republic, although it cannot be said that it will affect the entire republic, but once such an ancient aristocrat suffers a catastrophe, it will definitely implicate the overall strength of the republic.

The reason why the ancient aristocratic surnames have been passed down so long is because they have accumulated enough wealth to maintain the careful cultivation of the disciples in the clan. Second, there is a powerful power hidden in the genetic sequences of these ancient surnames. After all, in today's republic, it is not enough to have financial resources, but the republic values strength even more. Only a good bloodline inheritance can ensure the birth of a strong man, which is also the most fundamental reason why those ancient nobles are proud of their bloodline, and even some arrogant young disciples look down on ordinary people so much.

Mani belongs to such an ancient family!

The Mani family has existed since the early days of the Republic, and they are arguably one of the oldest and oldest families in the Republic. The Mani family started in the arms business, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the wealth is rivaled by the country, but the wealth of the Mani family is really innumerable. To this day, the coat of arms of the Mani family still uses the marks of the ancient three coins.

On top of the Mani family's airship, a young man with a pale face sat in the conference room, wrapped in a thick coat, and the conference room was filled with charcoal fires, but he was still shivering from the cold. The young man was quite handsome. Half-length dark gray hair added a dead air. There was not the slightest trace of blood on his pale face, and even his lips were horribly white.

At this moment, there was a sturdy middle-aged man standing behind the man, he was holding his shoulders, his face was bearded, but his sharp eyes were staring at the black and white screen in the center of the conference room, and he couldn't help but say, "Little master." Why do you have to come in person? Enough for me and Farion. ”

The young man with a pale face waved his hand, and then said angrily: "The battle for the succession of the family has intensified recently, and if you are caught in it at this time, you will definitely be implicated. The eldest brother is suspicious, the second brother is too ruthless, and it is too dangerous to be caught between the two of them, so it is better to come out and avoid the limelight. ”

"But I don't understand why you have to agree to marry this Naga family, in your capacity. It would be an absolute shame to marry the eldest daughter of a second-rate family. Not only are outsiders laughing, I'm afraid even the two young masters will look down on you. The middle-aged man said with some annoyance.

"That's exactly what I wanted, I'm already too weak and sick to withstand the tossing and turning of the two of them. Just take advantage of this opportunity to stay away from them. The eldest brother and second brother, who have always been proud of their own bloodline, will definitely think that I have tarnished the noble blood of Mani, so they will keep me away from the core of the family. And their struggle will inevitably not involve me. ”

The pale-faced man coughed lightly. After saying a few more words, it made him a little breathless.

"Hey, with your intelligence, young master. How did it take their turn to be the heir to the throne of the family? If it weren't for the ...... they designed back then"

"Enough!" The pale-faced man raised his voice, but coughed violently from the exertion.

"The subordinates have many mouths, and the subordinates have many mouths. Young master, take care of your body, don't get angry easily, don't get angry. Menggett knew he had said something he shouldn't have said, and hurriedly bowed down. Accusations were made again and again. The little young master's body is not as good as day by day, Meng Gete is anxious in his eyes, he should have been recuperating for a while, but he has to come thousands of miles in order to struggle for a way to live.

"Mengut, I don't want to hear about it. Do you understand? It's a blessing to be alive until now, and I've been so forbearant for so many years, isn't it just for a way to live? The pale-faced man finally stopped coughing, and he instructed again with a solemn expression, "You and Farion were brought by your mother from the clan and have been with me for so long. You should know how I've been all these years, so I don't want to hear about it in the future. ”

Menggett made amends again and again, which calmed the pale man's mood a little, and then he slowly closed his eyes and began to replenish the exerted physical strength.

Fasqi's steam-powered car strewn across the street outside the airship harbor, and the soldiers had placed martial law on the perimeter and dispersed the crowd. Fasqi jumped out of the car, and then looked at the gray-haired old man opposite, Falian, and the group of soldiers who had been controlled by him.

"It turned out to be a master of the spiritual department, no wonder he dared to trespass on my territory." Fasqi sneered, and his eyes suddenly lit up with golden brilliance.

Falian's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said, "Miss Fasqi has misunderstood, my young master has something important to discuss with you. ”

A fierce spiritual storm condensed around Falian, and Fasiqi asked coldly, "Your young master, who is it?" ”

"The third son of the patriarch of the Mani family, Young Master Solomon."

"Solomon?" Fasqi couldn't help but think hard, but she never took the family's decision to heart, so she didn't pay any attention to who she was going to marry with, even if she knew the person's name, it didn't help, she thought of this and asked again, "Say, what's the matter with him looking for me?" ”

Farian looked around, and then said with some embarrassment: "You have also seen that Young Master Solomon has something urgent to discuss with you, there are many people here, I'm afraid it is not suitable, if it is convenient for you, can you take a step to talk and go to the airship." The young master is seriously ill, and he is really unable to move, otherwise he will definitely visit in person. As for the soldiers, I just don't want any armed conflict. After Farian finished speaking, the soldiers regained their senses and looked at each other suspiciously, Fasqi was a little relieved that Farian didn't seem to be here to make trouble, so she waved her hand, and the group of soldiers withdrew.

"Sister, are you alright?" As soon as Fasqi was about to answer, Karcarus and Alan walked over.

"Are you alright?" Alan asked with concern, after all, he is the city lord here at the moment, and although Fasqi is not under the management of Alan in the strict sense, he can be regarded as a subordinate of the city lord.

Fasqi smiled slightly: "It's okay, it looks like I have to get on the airship to meet that Solomon." This Mani family is a famous family of the Republic, and it is not something that our small city of silver can afford to provoke. ”

Alan looked at the old man Farian opposite, and the old man's body was filled with terrifying green energy in his infected sight, which showed that the level of transformation was not low. Alan looked at Fasqi and said, "Now that I am the lord of the city here, I will go with you, and if there is any accident, I will have a good response." ”

As soon as Fasqi wanted to refuse, Carl Carlos took over the conversation: "Yes, yes, the two of them also have a response, otherwise how can you reassure me if you go up alone, sister." That's it! ”

Fasqi looked at Falian helplessly: "Let's go." ”

Farian glanced at Allen, and wanted to say something, but after seeing the other party's determined eyes, he smiled slightly, and then explained: "We really have no malicious intentions. ”

Alan and Fasqi followed him up to the communication boat, and Alan connected to Sabnis through virus communication: "See this airship in the sky, be ready for battle at any time, in case of a fight, we can't suffer." ”

"Don't worry, I've got everything ready, the self-detonating worm has been loaded into the thunder beast's body, once the fight starts, I'll keep it and sink it." Sabnis said confidently.

The communication boat was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the Mani family's airship. The elevator was lowered at the bottom of the huge airship, and the communication boat deftly got in. Then Farian led the way and led the two Alan to the airship's conference room.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Alan felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, although his physique had basically ignored the external environment, but the feeling of heat was still very uncomfortable. Fasqi saw at a glance the sick Solomon Mani, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room with his eyes closed.

Mongot stood straight behind Solomon, staring at Allen with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he had encountered a very threatening enemy. Alan didn't think so, and swept away his gaze, Menguet's strength was on par with Falian, maybe a little higher, but Solomon, who was sitting in the center, did not have the slightest energy fluctuation, and even the energy color was much weaker than that of ordinary people.

"Both, I'm sick and can't get up to greet each other, so I hope I'll take care of you." Solomon opened his eyes, a smile barely squeezed out of his pale face, he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but his legs were powerless, and Menggett behind him hurriedly supported him.

"I'm Fasqi, the head of the defenders of Falling Silver City, and this is the new city lord of Falling Silver City, Allen." Fasqi introduced. Solomon's eyes lit up when she mentioned Alan's name, and then his faint gaze turned to Alan.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is Alan, and you really admire the name for a long time. I have long heard that you have been in a key position in the Inquisition at a young age, and have even been awarded the title of Honorary Knight Chief of the Order, which is truly a rare young talent in the Republic. ”

"In Solomon Mane, the dying man who has been sick for a long time." Solomon couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"You are so polite, the Mani family is one of the oldest famous families in the Republic, I don't know what you are doing in Luoyin City this time?" Alan couldn't help but think to himself in his heart, how long had he been an honorary knight, and this Solomon seemed to be sick and could get the news, and sure enough, the means of the famous family were not simple.

"Originally, I had something to ask Miss Faski, but since you are here with you, Lord Allen, then we might as well sit down and have a good chat." (To be continued......)
