144 Bloodline Key
"You have a conflict with them?"
"Yes, they unanimously disrupt our market for magical curiosities through smuggling. Tilu said angrily, "Because of their smuggling, our family's magic business has shrunk by half in two hundred years. They are our worst enemies, and now that they have appeared in Blackwater Harbor, they must be, must have betrayed the interests of the family, and completely compromised. ”
Sooner or later.
Shirakawa thought to himself.
A group of copycat dealers want to grab the market with capitalists who hold intellectual property rights?
The Cardinal Wizards are not only the original creators who hold the intellectual property rights, but with their attitude towards apprentices, they are simply a proper sweatshop for making magical items and scrolls, compared to which all Fu X Kang is pediatric, I am afraid that only the child labor textile factory in the embryonic era of capitalism can fight.
How can a merchant family that does not control the capital of production be able to withstand smuggling and dumping with such productivity and price advantages?
Looking at the Kobudden family's approach, it is probably to use local forces to resist by force, which is obviously useless now.
Tilu's eyes were red and she gasped, and Shirakawa shook her head and looked away from the flag, "Then again, the place has arrived, how are you going to take back your power?"
"Sir, I have a plan to take back power by peaceful means, you just need to keep me safe. Tiru said.
"Peaceful settlement?" Shirakawa raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I am the eldest daughter of the patriarch of the Kobuden family, and I am the heir to the bloodline purification ceremony. Tilu Kobden took a deep breath, looked at Bai He's smile and began to reveal disdain, and hurriedly said: "As long as I arrive at the old mansion, I can solve all the family's problems, and there is no need to shed blood at all." ”
"Oh, then do what you do, and if the results don't satisfy me, then I'll do it myself. Bai He smiled: "Actually, I still think that the effect of my direct action is better, are you sure you don't need it?"
"No, no, no, sir, as a last resort, please settle it peacefully. Tilu had a pained look on her face: "You know the power of the bloodline, they can recognize the reality. ”
"Okay, well, if you can't solve it peacefully, I will also call them peace. Bai He smiled and nodded.
Tilu's face twitched, and God knows what exactly the 'peace' in this devil's mouth is.
As the carriage reached the middle of the road, there was a sudden commotion, and Tilu looked to see that two guards were beating an old woman who was begging.
The old woman looked a little strange, her tattered clothes showed her poverty, but her fair skin seemed well-maintained, and the woman's slightly wrinkled face was lifted from the dusty ground, and Tilu suddenly rushed out of the carriage with a scream.
She hurriedly dragged the middle-aged woman on the ground up, and the latter was stunned for a long time before she burst out crying: "Tilu, Tilu, good boy, my good boy, you are still alive, thank God." ”
"Yes, I'm alive, alive. Tilu couldn't cry: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
It seemed that she was too excited, the middle-aged woman shouted a few times, her eyes rolled and she fainted, and the guards saw that the good things were disturbed, and they were about to have a seizure, when they saw Tilu's face, they were instantly stunned: "You are ...... Miss Tiru?"
"Yes, you are warriors trained by Kobden. Tilu stood up, her expression gloomy as a black cloud, "Is that how you treat your mistress?"
"You have been banished, Miss, it is the decision of the Council of Elders. One of the guards said with a serious expression: "She is no longer the main mother." Also, Lady Tiru, you have returned privately during your exile against the decision of the Presbyterian Church, and we must arrest you now. Also, who's in the carriage behind you? Get down and get checked. ”
A spear lifted the curtain of the carriage, and they were taken aback by what it revealed.
The space in this carriage was unimaginably huge, and on the ornate benches, two delicate girls sat on either side, but in the center was a half-grown child with a snow elf's knee pillow, and when he heard the disturbance, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at the stunned guards at the door of the carriage, with a look of annoyance on his face.
Sieve exclaimed, and Senua's reaction was much more direct.
A huge fist bounced out of the carriage, and the guards flew out more than ten meters away and fell on the shed selling vegetables, and the other two guards just took out their weapons, and the huge fist swung twice in a row, and the two guards immediately followed in the footsteps of their colleagues and flew in the market.
Senna snorted softly and closed the carriage curtain, Tilu carried the middle-aged woman into the car, and the expression on Bai He's face was very unhappy: "Woman, you hired me to stand for you, didn't you want me to deal with those minions just now." ”
"I'm sorry, sir. Tilu's face turned pale: "Please find a safe place to hide as soon as possible." ”
Bai He snorted, and the carriage was gone, leaving only a group of talking onlookers.
The carriage ran a few laps through the streets of the city and then ran to the town outside the city, and it gradually became dark.
The woman in Tilu's arms seemed to be in a very bad situation, and when she saw Tilu, it seemed that something had reached the limit and was broken, and she was in a coma, and her face was getting worse and worse.
The long journey also borered Baihe a little, he found a tavern and opened a large room, covered it with a quilt after arranging it, and Tilu fed the middle-aged woman and began to drink cereal, this action gradually had an effect, and the woman's face improved and showed signs of awakening.
"Run, run. Finally, the middle-aged woman woke up and hugged Tilu's neck in a cold sweat: "They're all going to kill you, Tilu, this is not a safe place, leave Blackwater Harbor quickly." ”
"Mom, slow down, how did you get to this point?" Tiru soothed the woman.
"Bloodline Key, they've had enough, all branches, all branches are, you're going to die, Tiru, they're not going to let you complete the inheritance ritual. The woman's eyes were blank, and as soon as she finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and she immediately remained motionless.
Tilu was stunned, then stroked the woman's corpse and cried.
Bai He waited for Tilu to finish crying, and examined the woman's body, feeling amazed in his heart.
Internal bleeding, chronic poisoning, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, malnutrition, it is a miracle that they have survived until now.
"Miss Cobden, seeing this, are you still sure of a 'peaceful solution'?"
The white dragon drank a cup of tea and looked at Tilu's dead gray face with interest.
Even the mother with the name of 'former mother' was kicked out of the house and persecuted to death, which undoubtedly explains a lot of problems.
This kind of plot, which is often seen at the beginning of house fighting dramas, shows that Tilu and her forces have completely collapsed in this family, and according to the general plot advancement, the probability of a reversal can be imagined.
Things have come to this point, and they still want to settle it peacefully, which seems to Baihe to be a dream.
Bai He knows the urine nature of the bloodline key of the Kobuden family, and its power lies in the fact that it can open the door to the treasure house that stores the wealth accumulated by the Kobuden family for hundreds of years, as long as it is mastered, it is equivalent to mastering the property of the Kobbden family, as well as some special powers hidden in the old house of the Kobbden family, but at this point, it is really very problematic whether this power can be exerted.
If Shirakawa had done it himself, maybe the situation would have been different, but the appearance of the cardinal wizards in the city gave him a special feeling, the number of arcane masters in this organization was staggering, and if some old monsters appeared in this place, it was really something to watch out for.
In addition, Bai He clearly saw that this woman still had some kind of illusion - the pride in her heart did not seem to have completely collapsed, and she was trying to solve the problem completely through her own actions without the help of Bai He's strength.
All of her actions after entering the city showed this tendency, perhaps not to directly rebel against the White River, but just to regain the self-confidence she had lost on the Great Glacier, and if she regained this confidence, she would not continue to shrink back in the face of the White River in the future.
In other words, she was trying to destroy the shadow that Shirakawa had placed on her.
Shirakawa has a keen interest in destroying this kind of spiritual resistance, and he decides to watch the show and find an opportunity to make further repairs to the woman.
"No, I can, as long as I can get to the old mansion. Sure enough, Bai He's words didn't make Tilu depressed, she opened her eyes, and her gaze became firm: "There is a secret spell in the direct lineage, as long as it is used within the scope of the old mansion, the secret treasure can be opened, and then no one will be able to stop me, and if I have the power there and the money of the family treasury, all betrayers will pay the price." ”
She uttered the last sentence with a tragic and serious expression on her face, clearly very serious.
"It was wonderful. Bai He exclaimed, "It seems that you are not without a chance, but if I were your enemy, I would definitely take good care of the ancestral house by now." ”
"Yes, that's where the family is most closely guarded. Tilu said solemnly: "The ancestral mansion is specially arranged, and even spells cannot be used normally on the outer layer, sir, I don't think you will be of much use there." ”
"Uh, are you going to pay the bills? Don't forget, I know very well what is in your family's secret cache, and your memory can't fool me, do you think I'll come back if I'm not sure about it?" Shirakawa laughed weirdly.
Tiru shuddered, and fear instantly enveloped her, "No, no, sir, I didn't plan to pay my bills, and now I need your help too." ”
"How do you want me to help you?"
"I'm waiting for my two uncles, who are the most loyal to my father and me, and although they have been pushed to the border, they must be able to organize enough forces to send me back at this time. Tilu pondered and took out two letters: "I beg you to find a way to give them the secret of these two letters, I will give you the address, and in addition, please keep me safe within these days." ”
"Hah, that looks like a good plan. Shirakawa took the letter with a smile and stuffed it to Heathrian: "But what if your two uncles also betrayed you?"
"No, they won't. Tilu shook her head repeatedly, "They are the people my father trusts the most, and they used to fight against those elders for me back then. ”
"But it failed, didn't it?"
"I believe in them. Tiru said firmly.
"Okay, whatever you want. Shirakawa stopped talking, blocking the inside and outside of the room with a soundproof wall, Tilu gritted her teeth, rolled on the floor and couldn't sleep, Shirakawa yawned, grabbed a pillow and fell asleep.
White River slept for two nights, and Sislian and his comrades did not wait for the expected attack, and on the third day, when the two uncles arrived first, Tilu saw them, and immediately his eyes turned red and he became excited.
The two middle-aged men were also very excited, they cried opposite Tilu for a while, and then began to abuse the Council of Elders, in their mouths, this Council of Elders was simply the source of reactionary forces, especially the Great Elder who tried to usurp power, and was the number one boss among the villains.
The three of them discussed the current situation, and the two men immediately said that they had brought a group of elite people over and could take Tilu from the secret passage to the ancestral house, Tilu was excited, and turned to Baihe to look at it for a while, and then the terrifying child waved at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and left with the two men.
The three of them rode away from Shirakawa's field of vision, and then he sat up from his bed, sensing the growing number of uninvited guests inside and outside the tavern, and he laughed heavily.
The door to his bedroom was gently pushed open, and an old man in an ornate robe walked in with a group of centaurs.
"Good night, my guest, how are you resting?" asked the old man as he sat down in his chair with a smile and looked at Shirakawa.
