Section 5: Jacques challenges the eldest lady (II)
Section 5: Jacques challenges Sister Daxiǎo (below
The head of the Jacques branch laughed, slapped his thick slap on the table, and the momentum was amazing: "Then I will open the skylight and say something, this matter is very troublesome." If you want me to help you, a junior ability master can't do it."
"A junior adept can't do it?" Marcia was slightly surprised, "Uncle Jacques, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple, Marcia, you see my West Coast branch, it's really thin, there are too few formal paranormal divisions from top to bottom, there are few people, uncle, I don't have the capital to speak, I was embarrassed to say hello to the club last time. Uncle Jacques said sadly: "Seeing that this year's evaluation is coming, can you bear to let Uncle Jacques get a mediocre and incompetent evaluation?"
"Uncle Jacques, I can't help with this kind of thing. Marcia shook her head: "Everyone I know has a record. ”
"Hey, I've been tired and tired this year, and there is only one person who has passed the special promotion in the branch this year, and if you count your Townsend, it's only two. Jacques's expression became even more sad: "Marcia, you have to find a way to help me make up at least three...... Otherwise, I really don't have the face to go back to the club, you don't know the way those huns look at me, it's so hurtful to your self-esteem."
"But I really can't help with this kind of thing...... "Marcia said with a cramped smile, "Uncle Jacques is in difficulty, I will do what I can, but I can't conjure a junior anomalist for you." ”
"Of course you can" Jacques Branch's face changed, and his words also changed: "Seeing that you are a junior ability master, you can change the chapter you belong to as long as you nod your head, and I will take care of the rest."
"W-what?" Marcia was shocked, she didn't expect Jacques to set a trap and wait for her to take the bait - the junior Adeptist was a valuable resource that could not be replicated, it was the foundation, and no matter what branch it was, this was what the upper echelons valued the most. Changing the club to which you belong is a very complicated thing, and it is completely different from the concept of cross-district special promotion.
It's not as simple as moving to another house to register
Generally speaking, belonging to that chapter means that the Abilitymaster is loyal to that branch. If there were no accidents, such as notoriety, no one would do it. Because changing the chapter you belong to means changing the attitude and position of the individual master, and giving up the connections and prestige that you have built for a long time.
Marcia's family is in the Andorran Confederation and has a wealth of resources in the Andorran Chapter, and there is no doubt that she will continue to belong to the Andorran Paranormal Chapter in the future. And as a family heir, it is more difficult for Marcia to switch to the West Coast chapter than ordinary people
The heirs of the family of supernatural abilities, before entering the realm of supernatural abilities, the entire path will be arranged by the family. Because this involves all aspects, including not only the various resource consumption required for promotion, when to formally report, but also the choice of mentors, how to go in the future, etc., and even consider balancing interpersonal relationships, which seems to be incomprehensible.
"Uncle Jacques, you're making too much of a joke. The smile on Macia's face was very reluctant, in fact, she was about to explode: "There is no deep hatred between us, why did you give me such a big problem?
"I'll make it up for you. The head of the Jacques branch brazenly said: "Although it happened suddenly, you just need to nod, and as for your family, I will speak." Don't worry, as long as you come to the West Coast, I will never let you suffer in any way, and your guild subsidy will be doubled first, and the retinue will give you three times, and as soon as the special promotion is over, you will be given the title of intermediate steward. ”
"Uncle Jacques, you ......" Marcia was so angry that she couldn't speak, this hun egg is not a lie, it is true, but if he agrees to transfer to the West Coast chapter without authorization, it will be terrible, and he will even be expelled from the family.
"Don't you like to play mercenary games? It's okay, how about your uncle allowing you to build a mercenary group of any size? As long as you are promoted to the third pole, your uncle will also allow you to build your own independent combat group" The cheeky and dark-bellied Jacques continued to lobby, and the conditions offered became more and more amazing: "How about it?
"The conditions are good enough, but I still can't say yes. Marcia was very powerless in her heart, and she was really not authorized by the family to do this kind of thing: "I can't make a decision personally. ”
"I don't need your decision, all I want is your personal willingness, just nod your head. I'll do the rest, and I'll make sure your parents agree. Jacques smiled and said, "Good nephew, you are not very happy to live at home, aren't you? Aren't your relatives annoyed to be noisy all day long?
"You ......" Marcia was already speechless at this "hun egg", and refused to even give a perfunctory smile.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Townsend, and you also hold a position in his Thorn Rose, in that case, wouldn't it be good to come to the West Coast?" Jacques was not discouraged by Marcia's coldness, in fact, he fully appreciated his tenacity: "Thorn Rose is a newly born force, and there is still a long way to go before it can be consolidated, and it can even be said that it is in a difficult situation...... Don't you think about your surroundings, but it's different when you come to the West Coast, and you can even stay on the Thorn Rose. ”
"You investigated the Thorn Rose?" Marcia was a little surprised.
"Not counting the survey, I glanced at it as I passed by. At my age, my vision is a little higher than that of your young people. Jacques said lightly: "With Townsend's Xing personality being withdrawn and irritable, he will definitely not be able to stay in the club, which means that it is difficult for him to have a good relationship with the two major factions of the branch." But Thorn Rose needs the chapter to be the backstage, and you act as the middleman to reconcile the contradictions. ”
"You've gone so far that you've even investigated Townsend's character?" Marcia asked Jacques with righteous indignation, her eyes widening - Townsend was a little withdrawn in his bones, but his grumpy was obviously a rumor, but she didn't want to correct the mistake.
"What do you think?, is there really a light of justice shining on the earth?" Jacques snorted coldly: "If I didn't know about Townsend's relationship with you, I would have let him go yesterday?" ”
"Thank you Uncle Jacques for taking care of me. Marcia calmed down, she thanked solemnly first, and then replied: "As for the proposal of the Jacques branch president, because it is too + passionate Suddenly, it is difficult for me to give an answer for a while. I would also like to ask for the understanding of the branch president. ”
"I understand, of course. Jacques nodded, and then reminded him earnestly: "So, how much time do you need to think about it?"
"In fact, my decision is insignificant, and it is not the key to the matter. Marcia replied, "The family's decision is the final decision, and if the family agrees, I can't object to it." ”
"You mean that as long as your family agrees, you personally won't raise any objections, right?"
"That's right. Marcia nodded: "In my heart, after all, the interests of the family come first." ”
"Okay, as long as you don't object, I'll do it, your family absolutely agrees" Jacques laughed, as if the matter had already been done: "Don't worry, Marcia, I will do what I say, do you want to make a bet?"
"It's not necessary, because if you lose, you're going to pay the bill. "Marcia didn't believe that Jacques could move her parents, because the West Coast didn't have a lot of power, and coming here to study abilities would only be half the effort, no different from jumping into a fire pit. For the sake of themselves and their families, their parents will definitely not agree.
"I'm not angry, I'm not angry at all. "I said Marcia, you should prepare, and when you present with Townsend, you can take some real skills and calm the others, so that I can help you speak." ”
"That's not a problem. Marcia didn't bother to pay attention to the triumphant hunch: "I'll be ready." ”
On his way home in the evening, Townsend noticed Marcia's sullenness, and Marcia explained Jacques' conditions and explained the background of the change of chapter. After analyzing it together, everyone was still confused, and they didn't know what Jacques was planning-it was completely impossible, and Marcia's parents had no reason to nod, and the chance of a fight on the spot was relatively high.
Townsend thinks that Jacques has a relatively small part of joking, and he must have something important, which everyone can't guess now, and that's because the resources are not equal...... But there is nothing you can do now, you can only continue to wait with suspicions. There will come a time when things will come to light, and Marcia's family is about to rush to Silvertao City, and the truth is not far away.
Time passes slowly in all kinds of waiting.
However, three days have passed, and Marcia's family has never arrived at Yintao City - they even sent someone to contact Marcia, explaining in a few simple words that they are near Yintao City, and if there is an emergency on Marcia's side, they will appear soon, but they are currently encountering some strange things, so they need to pay attention to it for the time being.
I couldn't figure out the situation, so Townsend became very honest and tried his best to teach Mei *nv.
After a few days, they have shown signs of breakthroughs, and the beauty * NV trio will naturally not disappoint Townsend, they are only separated from the successful release of the roar, and because of the lack of self-confidence, there are no problems in ability.
On the other hand, regarding the fire, the movements of the high-level officials of Yintao City are suspicious, and they seem to be stunned by this little thing, and they collectively suffer from aphasia.
For several days, neither the old nor the new factions did anything, and only some xiǎo horns were dealing with the aftermath.
