As the sun rose to the zenith, at noon, the meeting took place as scheduled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A gray-haired, respectable old nobleman spoke first, he was a nearby baron, although the title was not high, but his age and seniority were frighteningly high, including the late Viscount Gerten, the oldest nobles in the area called him uncle. In addition, he is a neighbor and is most familiar with the situation of Gelteng, so it is indeed very appropriate for him to be the host.

The old man stood up tremblingly, and slowly told the glorious history and prosperous status quo of the Gelten Leader, and the words were quite sonorous and powerful, and it was really unseemly.

However, he is complete nonsense.

Most of the Viscounts of Gerten in the past generations were not good at management, and how could this territory have any glorious history to speak of! Not to mention that it has now fallen to the point of "starvation in the wild", which can be regarded as prosperity?

"This old man is talking nonsense with his eyes open! Is it still called prosperity when people are starving to death?" Sui Xiong was indignant, "Because he is so old and talks such nonsense, isn't he afraid of dying and going to hell?"

"For the aristocracy, as long as the dignity of the nobility can be maintained, it is considered prosperous. Ray sneered and said, "As for hell or something...... I'm afraid he really doesn't have to go. At such an old age, he is still committed to maintaining the glory of the nobility, and most of the time after his death will be taken to the kingdom of the noble goddess. ”

"This kind of person also collects, the god of nobility is really not picky!"

"Good gods receive good people, evil gods receive evil people, and things gather like like. Lei said lightly, "Is the noble lady herself a kind person?"

Sui Xiong sighed, deeply speechless.

Until now, he could not understand why the people of this world worshipped evil gods - evil gods and demons......, was there any difference?

On the high platform, the old baron slowly introduced the "story background", and then the conversation changed and finally got down to business.

The former Viscount Gerten died of a sudden illness, and the time from the onset of the disease to the loss of breath was very short, and he did not even have the opportunity to sober up and explain the aftermath. In addition, he had no heirs, and he did not designate an heir during his lifetime, so the inheritance was vacant. Theoretically, every descendant of the Gerten family is eligible to compete for the right to inherit.

When the old viscount was alive, because there was only one junior among the close relatives, Steele, everyone felt that Steele was the heir to the title as a matter of course. Who knew that he had just died, and he didn't know where an illegitimate child jumped out, and there was a rather strong set of evidence to prove his identity.

It was only then that it dawned on everyone - no wonder the old viscount had refused to give the inheritance to Steele explicitly, it turned out that he still had an illegitimate child!

Obviously, the old viscount wanted to pass on the title to the bastard. It's just that he hasn't found a suitable opportunity to let this child who was secretly born outside go to broad daylight.

According to the rules, illegitimate children have the same inheritance rights as long as they are recognized. The secret document left by the old viscount did recognize the identity of the child, so he had the right to inherit. If he hadn't appeared too late, and had not personally acknowledged it from the old viscount, this title should have been passed on directly to him.

So now the situation of the Viscount of Gerten is very embarrassing, on the one hand, the heir who has long been taken for granted, and on the other hand, the heir who is more legally strong but has not been recognized, and the two do not give in to each other. If it is not properly resolved, a civil war is possible.

Of course, if it weren't for Ray's appearance, Steele would have died a long time ago, and even if she hadn't, no one would have supported a stupid woman who had nothing but seducing men - even if she wasn't stupid at all, and she was quite scheming.

Or you can think about it from a different angle - if Steele hadn't had such a bad style and such a bad reputation, then other nobles would have married her and supported her. Once a nobleman with a status no less than that of Viscount Gerten came forward to support her, her inheritance would be as secure as Mount Tai. A bastard child who has not been publicly recognized, no matter how much documents support her, he is not qualified to compete with her at all!

All in all, that's how it happened!

Although the old baron spoke slowly, his speech was very clear, and he explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly in his chatter, and specially inquired about the nobles and representatives attending the meeting, and made sure that everyone understood, and finally ended his statement.

Next, it's time for the two to fight for the inheritance.

The struggle for inheritance is generally divided into two ways: civil and military.

Needless to say, the way of martial arts is that the two sides duel, the winner inherits the title, and the loser must immediately roll up and get out of the house even if he does not die, and from then on he will be deprived of his surname and lose his noble status.

As far as Sui Xiong is concerned, he hopes that the two sides will fight, because the scene will be more beautiful. But the battle for inheritance must be ended in person, and no one is allowed to replace him, and neither Romon nor Steele wants to risk their lives to duel, so this matter is completely useless.

From this point of view, Romon is actually a little bold. The liar is also a type of bard, a serious adventurer. He is not only in his mouth, but also in his hands. One-on-one, not to mention an ordinary strong man, even a trained and heavily armed warrior may not be able to win him. In contrast, even if Steele had learned some aristocratic swordsmanship, how could he be his opponent?

But Luo Meng doesn't think so, in his opinion, as a high-IQ person, he should use wisdom rather than force to win, just like Liu Bang's so-called "I would rather fight wits than strength" - go directly to the duel and accidentally die, then it should be thanks to!

As for Steele, of course, she was even more reluctant to duel. She has also practiced martial arts, and she is quite gorgeous in her aristocratic swordsmanship, and she is absolutely amazing in showing off her sword dance at the banquet, and she is not a problem for hunting, but she has the courage to fight a ruthless duel with a noble title like Luo Meng......

Since both sides are unwilling to fight, of course, they can only fight.

Wendou will be very similar to the debate on the earth, first the two sides take turns to state, be sure to explain their own advantages and the shortcomings of the other party; then there is a debate, attacking each other, in order to give the other party a bloody head, it is best to directly scold the opponent to the point of myocardial infarction; if there is no distinction between high and low in the debate session, it must be handed over to the nobles and representatives attending the meeting to deliberate, and the winner will be selected to inherit the title, and the loser will still be covered and deprived of the noble status.

Anyway, since you dare to fight for the inheritance, you must be mentally prepared for nothing, and you are willing to gamble and lose, and it is the same everywhere.

The first to state on the scene is Romon , he is worthy of being a veteran liar, with a mouth and a mouth, he plays an illegitimate son who has never been able to see the light because of his bad background. His explanation for his act of fighting for the right to inherit is that he is unwilling to let a lowly woman insult the reputation of the Gerten family - definitely not out of selfishness.

This reason is really lofty, especially his appearance of righteous words, which greatly enhances the persuasiveness. With his handsome appearance, he has a temperament similar to the late old viscount after makeup, which moved many nobles who had a close relationship with the late old viscount.

The fact that the old viscount had an illegitimate child was not very secret, although few people in the territory knew about it, but some of his close friends probably knew. Perhaps this is also the old viscount's backhand in the ambush, in case of any accidents, there are some old friends who can support their son.

It's just that he never dreamed that his son had died at the hands of Luo Meng in a daze, and he was also assumed to be an identity, wanting to occupy the magpie's nest.

Those aristocrats were already ready to support the son of an old friend, and at this moment, seeing that this child was not only magnificent, but also quite the temperament of an old friend, they couldn't help but be inexplicably moved. An old man with a lot of feelings could not even hold back his tears, muttering to himself: "It's too similar!

Uh, like, that's for sure, Romon is a professional, even if the old viscount's own son is here, most of them are not as realistic as he plays!

Of course, the more important reason is that this "respectable" old nobleman has long accepted the benefits of Romon and packed the ticket to push him to the throne.

There are many similar situations, anyway, what Sui Xiong found these days alone, has been bought by Luo Meng in advance, or has already negotiated with him in private, all of them add up, accounting for at least one-third of the field.

This one who is wiping his tears with a handkerchief belongs to the acting school, the one who is as strong as a bear in a few seats belongs to the powerful faction, and the two marquis representatives who rushed from the capital of the Gold Coin Federation, probably belong to strong foreign aid, plus a few people who have more business contacts with Gerten......

If you count carefully, it's no wonder that Luo Meng is so confident. Respected seniors supported him, powerful masters supported him, the highest marquis in the entire federation supported him, and business partners who were closely related to Gerten supported him...... If it weren't for the necessary process for the battle for the inheritance of the nobles, the battle for the high platform was sacrosanct, Sui Xiong felt that there was no need to even hold a meeting, he could directly announce the succession.

A master, a master!

In contrast, Steele's performance was much worse. Although she also said beautifully, emphasizing that she was the only heir for a long time, and inheriting by herself was not only in line with aristocratic conventions, but also far better than parachuting a lord to maintain the peace and stability of the territory, but if she carefully distinguished, she could see that she actually did not have much confidence, and her eyes flickered when she spoke, and she even glanced at Lei from time to time, as if only by seeing the figure of the black knight who was as steady as Mount Tai could she maintain her courage.

Not to mention, there are very few of these nobles and representatives that she really won over. Except for a few people from Gerten who came from the local background, or who had an unknown relationship with her, almost no one supported her in advance.

And even those who supported her in advance, looking at her at the moment, their attitude is somewhat shaken.

No way, people are more popular than people. Compared with the two sides, the gap is too big!

To be honest, if there was no choice, Steele would be a barely manageable heir. The style is corrupt or something, it is nothing for the nobles, when Her Majesty the noble lady was still a mortal, the style was not much better than that of Steele, at most he did not attack the Warcraft - even the Warcraft dared to start, it is really admirable if you think about it carefully......

However, since there is Romon as a much better candidate, it is better not to be embarrassed in the viscount position, and it is good to quietly find a corner to bloom silently, and save from irritating everyone's fragile hearts.

Thus, before even the debate began, most of the nobles and deputies had already secretly made a conclusion in their hearts.

Sui Xiong felt like he was sitting in the audience, watching the two guests come on stage. Luo Meng came to the stage and only said a few words, and the female guests danced with their eyes shining one by one, staring at him like hungry wolves, as if they wanted to tear him apart and eat him. And Steele ...... As soon as they came on the stage, the male guests put their hands on the button to turn off the lights, looking left and right at each other, looking forward to the first big brother to take the lead.

The gap is so obvious!
