Chapter 13: Co-optation and Coercion

readx; An ornate carriage drove Alan and Briseis into a sprawling, pavilion-lined courtyard that was home to the Brown family!

"Alan, welcome to the Brown family!" greeted Eren by his old acquaintance, Paris!

"You're welcome, it's an honor for Alan to be invited by the head of the Aerys family! This is a magic sword, I hope the head of the Aerys family can like it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Alan handed Paris a beautifully decorated and smooth magic greatsword, this magic greatsword was purchased by Alan in the magic shop, and a first-order wind core was inlaid on him by the magician, so it could unleash a wind blade, so the price was extremely high, and it cost Eren 20,000 gold coins!

"It's a well-made magic sword, I think my father will like it very much!" Paris took it and said with a smile, but Alan knew that this was just a polite remark, how could a magic sword of 20,000 gold coins enter the eyes of the dark gold warrior Aerys, the dark gold warrior is equivalent to a magic master, and the body can generate fighting qi and form a fighting qi protective body, and magic below the magistor level will not be able to break through the protective body fighting qi and cause damage to the dark gold warrior!

Paris led the two into a remote meeting room, where Alan met for the first time the head of the Aerys family, who had only heard his name but had never met, he was a burly middle-aged man with a strong body, sitting there quietly like a majestic mountain, and the unangry self-authority that had been cultivated from being in the top position for a long time was terrifying, "Please sit down!"

"Thank you!" Alan Yiyan sat across from him, and Paris and Briseis sat to the left and right!

"I'm not as scheming as the magicians, I like to be straightforward, and I want to get straight to the point, and I invite you to join our Brown family!"

The straightforwardness of the Aerys family master made Alan slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and politely rejected his proposal: "It's a great honor, but I don't know how a small person like me can get into the eyes of the Aerys family master?"

"You're not a small person, you're known for selling magic turnips, and you're famous for designing and framing the Academy of Magic, if I didn't expect the magic potion you gave to Briseis and the others to be popular throughout the city of Yggdrasil and you will be famous!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

"From the beginning, I guessed that you must have a secret recipe for growing magic crops, so I asked Paris to invite you on my behalf, and when I saw the magic potion that Briseis gave me, I knew that my guess was correct!" "The head of the Aerys family put a magic potion on the table, and continued, "It should be this magic potion that has a magical effect that makes ordinary white radishes grow into magic white radish, and your ability to make this magical magic potion is what I value!"

"I should have said that I bought this magic potion by accident on the underground exchange, and if you think I am the inventor of this magic potion, then you are looking for the wrong person!"

"Maybe others will believe your lies, but I resolutely don't believe it, if you join the Brown family, I will not hesitate to reward, status and power are up to you, if you like beauty, I can also marry Briseis to you!" Briseis blushed when he heard this, but at the same time, there was a faint sadness in his heart, he was just a tool to win over others in his father's eyes!

"According to me, the Brown family is a famous warrior family, and even without this magic potion, the Brown family can still inherit the glory and glory, why do they have such a strong interest in magic potion?"

"Warriors and magicians will naturally have competition if they cooperate, and controlling this magic potion is equivalent to choking their throats, and I will not let go of any opportunity to retaliate against the Academy of Magic!" The head of the Aerys family is a dark gold warrior (equivalent to a magister), a mad warrior supremacist who abhors the idea that mages are noble and warriors are lowly, and he strives to elevate his status as a warrior without forgetting to fight the reputation of mages, and Alan's magic potion is undoubtedly a sharp steel knife that can pierce the sore feet of mages and make them love and hate!

"What a crazy fellow!" Alan whispered in his heart, but said, "But it's a pity that I'm not the one you're looking for, because as we all know, only magicians can make magic potions, and I'm just a bronze archer who doesn't have the magic to make magic potions!"

"Father, Eren is right, only magicians can make magic potions!" Briseis said to help Alan, and Paris nodded yes!

"So what, even if he is not the inventor of the magic potion, the fact that he can get the magic potion shows that he has a close relationship with the real inventor of the magic potion, and I will not let him leave the Brown family for this alone!" Seeing that he couldn't win him over, the head of the Aerys family decided to use his power to forcibly detain Alan in the Brown family!

Suddenly, a majestic and terrifying aura overflowed from the head of the Aerys family, and then crushed towards Allen, but Eren was naturally arrogant, and it was even more difficult to use the majestic coercion to make him succumb than to ascend to the sky, "Mighty and unyielding!" He gritted his teeth and did not let an inch of the head of the Aerys family look at each other, because Eren knew that if he succumbed to the pressure of the Aerys family master, he would not only lose face, but also be led by the nose and lose the initiative, and it would also have a shadow on the promotion of his mood and martial arts in the future, and he might stop at the level of dark gold warriors for the rest of his life.

This is definitely not the result that Alan wants, so even if the bones make a crackling sound due to the coercion, he did not lower his noble head, "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!" This is the belief in his heart at the moment!

"Alan, I'll help you!" Elena 's anxious voice came from his head, seeing that Eren was in danger, Elena wanted to help Eren but was stopped by him, "Your identity is too sensitive to be exposed, and I can resist this little wind and waves, not to mention that he has to find the inventor of the magic potion through me, so he won't kill me!"

But this feeling of not being able to breathe is very bad, about to be choked by someone's neck, breathing becomes extremely difficult, his ears can't hear the sound, and his eyes become blurred, just when Alan is about to lose consciousness, a figure appears in front of everyone, and then the head of the Aerys family withdrew this terrifying coercion, and his face became gloomy and terrifying, "Dean Brian of the Academy of Magic is visiting late at night, Paris, you and I are going to greet you!"

After the head of the Aerys family and Paris left, only Briseis and Alan were left in the living room, and Alan lay on the table gasping for breath, and teased, "It's good to be alive!"

Briseis struggled with a struggling expression, as if she was making up her mind but hesitated, and finally bit her lip, with a determined look in her eyes, she stood up and walked quickly to Allen's side, "I'll give you to leave the Brown family while my father is away!" She was gambling with her own fate, and if her father found out, she would definitely be severely punished.

"Why do you want to help me?" said Alan, a little frustrated!

"Don't look at me as the eldest lady of the Brown family, but in fact I am not treated well by my father, because instead of becoming a warrior as he wished, I became a wizard who annoyed him, and he did not abandon me because he wanted to use me as a tool in exchange for benefits!

"Miss Briseis, you think too highly of me, I'm just an insignificant little person, how can I save you from the fire!"

"Don't be presumptuous, your sister's mentor is the Skatifa Saint, and no one can ignore you, and after my observation during this time, miracles always happen to you, magic radish, magic potions, and your escape from John and the others!"

Allen's heart was shocked, but he believed that his killing of John and Duncan had never been revealed, which should have been Brisseis's guess, and sure enough, he heard her continue: " In the eyes of my father and brother, John and the others are just insignificant mercenaries, they are dead, there are others to replace, so they don't care about their deaths, but I don't care about their deaths, but I know that he is eyeing the 100,000 gold coins you carry with him before he took the initiative to ask for the task of hunting the monsters, but now that you have returned safely, but they have not heard from them, I guess that they are either unlucky enough to die in the mouth of the monsters, or they will be killed by you, and I prefer to believe in the latter possibility!"

"Miss Briseis, your whimsical imagination has opened my eyes, you can write a magic novel, but don't worry that someone will save me from the cage!" Allen closed his eyes after speaking, and Briseis was so angry that her silver teeth squeaked, but she was helpless about Allen's rogue shape, and she could only curse Alan in her heart for failing Miss Ben's good intentions and deserving of death!
