Chapter 102: Selection Method
"The one in the lead is one of my clan uncles, named Kruba, plus Tro just now, and Maxi and me, who are sitting there and not speaking, and the candidates for the head of the family are me and the other four. ”
Seeing the thin middle-aged man enter the living room, Demont introduced Roger and Harrison.
"Hmm. ”
Roger didn't pay much attention to what Demund introduced.
Although he didn't express his thoughts as Harrison did, he also knew that it would be difficult to encounter anything too dangerous on this trip.
The struggle within a declining little wizard family is really hard to get people interested.
The reason why he came here to act as Demon's helper was also because he had promised Harrison to come to his aid, plus he had just broken through, so it was better to just come out and scatter his mind.
As for what Harrison said, Dermont promised to select three treasures from the Lanluo family's vault as a reward for this help, and Roger also didn't pay much attention to it.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't think that there would be any surprises in the Lanluo family's secret vault.
"Unless the middle wizard has an abnormal head, he will leave some precious treasures in the family, as the so-called puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty, how can a family that does not even have a formal wizard keep the heavy treasure belonging to the middle wizard...... If there really is, even if only a little bit of information is leaked, it will bring a monstrous disaster to the Lan Luo family. ”
Roger understands this, so he doesn't ask too much for this reward.
As soon as Demon finished his introduction, the thin middle-aged Kruba, who was the last to arrive, sat down, and an old man in a wizard's robe came out of the living room, and several people on either side of the old man followed closely behind him, and followed the old man to the main seat in the center of the living room.
The old man's face looked very old, his skin was full of wrinkles, and from the appearance alone, he looked like an ordinary old man of eighty or ninety years old.
But the wizard's robe on his body was telling others that this was not an ordinary old man.
"It's all here, sit down. ”
The old man sat down in the middle of the main seat and took the lead in sitting down.
The four groups of people each chose a seat around the table and sat down, and greeted the old man one after another: "Hello master." ”
Roger sat next to Demont and looked at the old man calmly.
Hearing other people's names towards the old man, you can know that he is the current head of the Lan Luo family, and he is also the only high-level wizard apprentice in the family at present.
Seeing the appearance of this old man, Roger dared to conclude that even if this family master was a high-level wizard apprentice, he had a lifespan of two hundred years. But judging from his appearance, the life span of this Lanluo family master is probably not much......
After ordinary people become wizard apprentices, because the limit of their lifespan increases, the speed of aging will also slow down a lot, and this reason couldn't be simpler.
Ram's genius apprentice, Apollo, would have always looked like a teenager, because he was too young when he became a wizard's apprentice, and the increase in his lifespan limit made Apollo look like that young in the short term.
And according to Roger's eyesight, when he saw that this Lanluo family master looked like an ordinary eighty or ninety-year-old man, he dared to conclude that the Lanluo family master in front of him should be about to reach the end of his life.
"No wonder they want to set the position of the head of the family first, and don't wait for anyone else in the juniors to break through to the high-level wizard apprentice, it turns out that time is running out?"
The old head of the Lan Luo family naturally wouldn't know what Roger was guessing, and the result of the guess was extremely close to the facts.
After the head of the Lan Luo family sat down, he said to his four juniors: "You should also know the purpose of calling you here this time...... Well, it's okay not to know, because it's a very simple thing...... I want to pick out from among you a successor who will be at the helm of the family in the future. ”
"The selection method is not new...... You bring the two helpers you have each invited to fight each other in pairs, I don't care about the process, you only need one winner. "The appearance of the head of the Lan Luo family is undoubtedly an old man who is about to decay, but he is not wordy at all.
In one sentence, the matter is clear.
"Head of the house, I remember that there is a record in the clan that candidates themselves can choose not to join the battle, right?" Tro, who had greeted Demon, suddenly asked.
The head of the Lan Luo family glanced at him and said clearly: "Are you going to let the three people you bring directly participate in the competition, and you don't participate in it yourself?"
"I don't know if that's in line with that. Tro asked.
"This kind of thing has happened in the history of the family, and of course it is in order. The head of the Lan Luo family said as a matter of course, "However, Tro, your strength is not weak, are you sure you want these three people to fight directly on your behalf?"
Although none of the four family master candidates have a high-level wizard apprentice, all four of them are out-and-out middle-level wizard apprentices.
Tro's strength may not be the first of the four, but it is definitely not the last.
Therefore, the head of the Lan Luo family was still a little strange about his decision.
"I'm sure, my lord. Tro said with a smile.
"Well, that's up to you. The head of the Lanluo family said no more, and after confirming that the other three had no objections, he directly decided: "The first battle is Demon vs. Krumba, and Tro vs. Maxi, and the victors on both sides will compete again to determine who the final seat of the head of the family belongs to." ”
"Yes!" the four of them bowed their heads in unison.
............
More than half an hour later.
Everyone who had been in the parlor had already arrived at a huge clearing in the villa.
The clearing is roughly square, at least 200 meters long and wide, and the material of the ground is made of an unknown stone, which looks very solid.
This is the battle site that the head of the Lan Luo family has prepared for the four candidates in advance.
"Troll, Maxi, let's start with the two of you. The head of the Lan Luo family said casually.
There is no fixed order for who comes first and who comes last.
Maxi, the man who rarely spoke from beginning to end, heard the command of the head of the Lanluo family, and led the two behind him to take the lead towards the center of the venue.
After answering, Tro nodded to the three people behind him.
Roger, who was standing on the side, noticed that the three of them looked very similar, but because of their different dresses, people would not subconsciously compare them at a glance.
But if you take a closer look, you can still see this.
Thinking that Tro deliberately asked the head of the Lanluo family and said that he would not play, and that the three people he invited would directly fight in his place, a guess was born in Roger's mind.
"There must be something special between these three people...... They look so alike, maybe they are related to each other, and if you look at them this way, maybe their special thing is that they are good at fighting together......" Roger speculated to himself.
