Chapter 20: The Chinese New Year's Eve Clan Meeting

On December 31st, like most families or clans, the Tariq family held their last meeting before the new year, and unlike the last pure meeting, this one could be described as a dinner. Looking at the full dining table, Delin knew for the first time that he had so many brothers and sisters. At the same time, Delin also knew from their mouths for the first time that the Kingdom of Ailan also had its own mage academy and warrior academy.

Delin listened and processed the news, no matter what, he had only one goal, that is, the Cartesian School of Magic, which had the name of "Noria No. 1 School of Magic", and not only that, but at the same time, the back of this signboard also said "Legendary Mage's Mass Production Place". However, so far, Delin is not going to talk to anyone, not even Harry and Jamili, who are closest to him.

A man appeared in front of Delin, looked at Delin carefully, and finally said uncertainly: "You are Delin's cousin, right?"

"If there is no second place in Tariq, it is me. Delin also carefully observed the other party, dressed neatly, his expression was plain, and although he was slightly short, he revealed a confident and powerful momentum.

"I'm your cousin Bill. You did well and didn't disgrace the Tariq family. ”

The stiff tone, the condescending tone, for a while Delin didn't know what to say.

"Nothing, that's what every Tariq should do. Delin suddenly remembered what he had said when he was complimented by his leader.

"Yes, you're much better than Gori's litter of sons! You play first, and I'll go first." Without waiting for Delin's answer, Bill turned and left alone.

Looking at this strange cousin, Delin's heart couldn't help but secretly shake his head, can such an uncle's family fight the second uncle's family? Maybe the future Tariq family will be completely declining.

After the joyous dinner, it was time for a serious family meeting, and all the inconsequential people were asked to leave, except for the important ones in charge, and the only juniors left were Bill, Delin, and Takars. In fact, they only have the right to observe.

"Grandpa, I have something I want to discuss with you. As soon as the meeting was announced, Delin immediately stood up.

"Delin, if there is anything you can wait until after the meeting is over to come to us, now is the meeting time, which determines the development of the family in the coming year, which is very important. Burke looked at Delin and said.

"Grandpa Burke, this matter of mine is also very important. I want to sell my territory to my family. ”

As soon as Delin's words came out, he immediately alarmed the entire conference room, along with Dorry and Burke. It was Bill who was most shocked. Seeing that the cousin in front of him, who was a few years younger than himself, had such courage, he began to blush at what he had said, but his face had already been exposed to the wind and sun, and he couldn't see it on his dark face at all.

"Why?" asked Dori, puzzled, "I know you want to go to the mainland, but you don't have to, right?

"Grandpa Dori, this is something I thought through. The power of attorney must be signed every five years, and I am out and about, and it is very likely that I will not be able to send the power of attorney back in time, which may bring unnecessary trouble to the family. Selling to the family can be regarded as a little bit of dedication to the family as a Tariq. Dellings paused, and then said: "Moreover, I also need money to go out, especially for a weak person like me, so I need the power of gold coins to assist me, although there is some small money, but I still feel that it is not enough." ”

"Delin, you have to think clearly, it will be difficult for you to get it back in the future. Burke looked at Delindau.

"I understand!" Delin's answer was categorical.

"Okay, we won't persuade you, so how much are you going to sell it for?" Burke's voice revealed a sense of loss.

"300,000, I have checked the information, the area of the wooden forest town is not large, except for wood, there are no special products. "Delin doesn't really care about the price of selling, just selling.

"300,000 is too little, 500,000! Maury, you draw up the contract. I'm a little sleepy, if there's anything, you can discuss it, just leave it to me tomorrow. With that, Burke left, with some old age and tiredness in his back.

The family meeting, the patriarch left early, and this meeting would be meaningless if it continued. Then Dori also sighed and left the conference room. Others also left.

In the end, only Delin and the three managers of the family estate remained, and they were only responsible for the management and had no decision-making power. Delin signed his name on the assignment agreement.

......

"Why do you think he's leaving?, is the Tariq family so unattractive to him?!" Burke said angrily and anxiously in front of Dori in a small room, "He's going to sell his territory here?!, clearly dissociating himself from the family!" The oak coffee table made an unbearable sound as it was hammered.

"This kid's heart is too heavy for us to understand. Dori sighed.

"Say, what have I done to him badly these days?!, to make you angry, since the last clan council, I have treated him better than you have treated him, what is he not satisfied with?" Burke really couldn't figure it out, and stroked his hair desperately, "Could it be that he still has an opinion in his heart about me taking over as the Marquis?" Burke looked at Dori.

"Probably not. He told me before that he was going to go out and explore, and I asked him and persuaded him, but it didn't work. Perhaps, he disliked that the sky was too small. Dori looked out the window at the night sky, thoughtful.

"Too small, the Tariq family is at least a good place to start, doesn't he know that the position of the patriarch will still be his?

"Maybe he thinks this barren land is too small. With that, Dorry looked at Burke quietly. In the end, both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"You're saying he's trying to... But he's not—" Burke couldn't hide his surprise.

Perhaps, he has his own secrets. "What the eye sees is not necessarily true. ”

A brilliant flame swirled continuously, leaving beautiful traces, and finally exploded high in the air and scattered, forming a beautiful orchid in the air. Afterwards, the streets and alleys resounded with laughter, and children in new clothes and holding New Year's bounties jumped and chased those beautiful flowers in the sky. At this time, the night sky of Alan City has been completely lit up by magical fireworks, and every nobleman's mansion will set off a large number of magical fireworks, even if the family is a little rich, they will buy a few and give them to their children, so that they can feel the joy of the New Year.

The extravagance and comparison of the aristocracy made the whole sky colorful, and even if it was the same orchid in appearance, it was necessary to be different from others in color, and it was really not good, and it was necessary to overwhelm each other in quantity. There are even aristocrats who use magic fireworks to lay out an epic picture in the air: the dragon chasing picture. As soon as this picture came out, it instantly killed the audience and firmly caught everyone's attention.

No matter how gorgeous the picture is, there are times when it dissipates, and other forms are different, but colorful fireworks are still in the ascendant. The most of them are orchids. Legend has it that Peter the Great's wife liked orchids the most, so his country was named the Kingdom of Aland, and the capital was the city of Aland.

Delin gave everyone a holiday, and he lay quietly in Jamilie's arms, listening to her tell her stories.

ps: This chapter, in a sense, is equivalent to the end of the prologue, and the magnificent plot is about to begin! Noria Continent, where the legend begins!
