"Hahahaha! Alfonso, my dear nephew, you are as cautious as ever. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Well, I can agree with your suggestion in principle, but it needs to be readjusted in terms of allocation. Each family can keep a maximum of three pieces, and the rest will be kept by the Council of Elders. You have to understand that studying an unknown substance is very time-consuming, and you have to have enough test specimens. Ethan laughed and relented.

Of course, it is also possible that he adopted an advance strategy from the beginning, first making a proposal that is impossible for everyone to accept, and then retreating to the second.

However, for Alfonso, as long as the six major families have two-thirds of the crystals, his goal will be achieved, so he also nodded: "As you wish, uncle." Please forgive me for the offense, after all, the increasing authority of the Presbyterian Council over the years has caused a lot of concern and vigilance, and as the leader of the Castro family, I must think about the continuation of the family. ”

Ethan waved his hand slightly: "I don't need to explain, I can understand your thoughts, but remember that no matter what, we all originate from an ancient and sacred ancestor, Gaius Flavius Valerius Constantius, with the holy and noble blood of the Roman Empire flowing in our veins. No matter how the world changes in the future, we must be firmly united and silently guard that secret. ”

"Of course! This is our responsibility, and it is also our obligation. Everyone present stood up and responded in unison.

Each of them clutched the crystal pendant around their necks, their eyes showing undisguised sincerity and fanaticism, and it took a full minute for them to subside.

"Very good! I'm glad to see that no one has been corrupted by a materialistic world!, still holding fast to their noble faith!" Ethan smiled with satisfaction on his face, and then said with open arms, "Now sit down, the elders will continue to investigate the origin of the crystal, and then it's time to talk about the juniors." ”

"Uncle, there are still five full years until the next election of elders, isn't it a little too early to talk about this?" As soon as he sat down, Alfonso couldn't wait to make a tentative sound.

"Early? no, my nephew, not at all. Two members of the Council of Elders have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and there is less than a year left before death, which means that two of your current heads of the family must carry on the family and then enter the Council of Elders to fulfill their new duties. ”

With that, Ethan glanced at the two hooded old men, who quickly pulled out two case reports from his bosom and placed them on the table.

It clearly states the name, the cause, the spread of the cancer cells, and the estimated remaining survival time......

It has to be said that this report caused quite a stir, at least Alfonso's eyes flashed a trace of panic that was not easy to detect.

He didn't need to ask to know that he definitely didn't want to give up the days of holding power so early and enter the Council of Elders to become an elder with a pure heart and few desires.

But unfortunately, the more you are afraid of something, the more it tends to happen.

After a brief silence, Ethan said bluntly: "Following the ancient tradition, the elders have the right to enter the Presbyterian Council first, so Alfonso and James, you must choose the heir of the family within twelve months, and then disappear from the eyes of the world. ”

The faces of the two people who were named changed instantly, but they didn't resist, but closed their eyes and reluctantly chose to acquiesce.

Ethan was obviously satisfied with this attitude, smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, that's all for the new members of the Council of Elders, now tell me, who are you two going to let take your place?"

"Mason, the eldest son, you know, I have no second choice but him. James gave the answer without even thinking about it.

On the contrary, Alfonso lowered his head, his expression was a little cloudy, as if he was hesitating about something, and it took a long time before he spoke: "I officially apply to the Council of Elders for the trial! My eldest son Diego and my second son Enoch participate at the same time! In the end, whoever survives will inherit the Castro family." ”

"What?!Are you crazy!

"No, I'm not crazy, I just want a good successor. I'm sure you all know that Diego has a steady personality, but he is really not outstanding in developing amulet abilities, while Enoch is the opposite, he has a somewhat rebellious personality, but he has an unparalleled talent in superpowers, especially invading the brain 100% to treat another person as a doll, even as a father, I have to be amazed, that crystal has not been activated for hundreds of years, I need to find the better one through trials!"

As he said this, the dark blue crystal on Alfonso's neck released a faint glow, and his whole body exuded an icy aura, creating a white frost around him in just a few seconds.

"I respect your choice! When Enoch's disappearance is over, I will personally preside over the trial to ensure that the two of them will be separated from each other in an absolutely fair environment. With that, Ethan raised his arm and motioned for the incident to be recorded.

Lucy, the secretary of the Presbyterian Church, quickly opened an old book bound in parchment, made a note on a new page, and then spread it out for everyone present to see.

There is no doubt that this is a rather serious matter, and many people have a terrifying expression on their faces, as if they have seen a ghost.

However, Alfonso did not hesitate to fill in his name in the initiator column on the page, perhaps for him, a good heir is far more important than the relationship between father and son.

But the old man didn't know that in fact, his second son had already died, and even his body was buried in the dungeon of another world, and now he was playing Enoch, in fact, it was another person, a gravedigger who wanted to completely eradicate the Council of Elders and the Six Great Families......

Far away on the other side of the Atlantic, Lu Li had no idea that he was once again involved in a dangerous and complicated situation, and he was busy moving into a detached villa less than ten kilometers from the nightclub.

It was built in 2,000 years, close to the river, with a land area of more than 3,200 square meters, a construction area of about 650 square meters, a three-story brick and stone structure, with six bedrooms and six bathrooms, a huge outdoor swimming pool, a large green lawn, garden and more than a dozen palm trees, two garages, a small simple dock, which can be used to dock private ships such as yachts and speedboats.

Although it looks very luxurious, the transaction price is only more than 2 million US dollars, and if it is changed to the prosperous area of Tianchao in the north, Shanghai and Guangzhou, this price can only buy an ordinary apartment with three bedrooms and two living rooms and about 200 square meters at most.
