Chapter 5: The Son-in-law Counterattacks
In addition to Allen, there were three boys in the exam room.
Matthew, Webb, and Truss are all in their early twenties.
Matthew Lion blood.
Webb Tiger bloodline.
Trus is a leopard man.
Two girls, looking younger.
Linda, Catwoman, claims to be eighteen.
Tiger girl Renee, nineteen years old.
Linda will dress up, make up elaborately, and look prettier.
Under her background, Renee, who is plain-faced, looks like a village girl.
Renee belongs to the kind of girl who is not stunning, but very attractive.
In particular, the gentle and pure eyes like a doe have the beauty of a good wife and mother.
Seventeen-year-old Allen was the youngest of the six candidates.
Crunch –
The door is open.
A short and fat old man in a gray robe, holding a bronze mirror in his right hand, slowly walked into the room.
The old man is a bestial, with a tanuki head.
A large round hairy face covered with yellow and black stripes.
staring at a pair of yellow cat's eyes, his expression was majestic.
Including Allen, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The old tanuki waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite.
Walk over to the table, pull out a chair and sit down.
Place the bronze mirror in the center of the round table.
"I'm the examiner of this field, you can call me Elder Tanuki."
The old man's tone revealed a faint arrogance.
The Silver Moon Monastery is divided into three branches, and the position of the abbot is currently vacant.
Major matters are negotiated by the first seat of the three courts.
The three first seats, all of which are cultivated in the late fifth order.
It is said that whoever breaks through to the sixth order first will ascend to the throne of the dean.
Underneath the first seat are the elders.
Cultivation to the realm, at least the early stage of the fourth order.
Below the elders are the deacons of each courtyard, and the cultivation is not lower than the early stage of the third order.
Allen's three sworn friends, Adam of the Bear House, George of the Pig House, and Maria of the Cat House, all have the title of "Deacon".
Of the three, Mary was the youngest, only twenty years old, and her future was the most promising.
As a personal disciple of the first seat of the Cat Academy, Sister Lion will definitely be promoted to the fourth rank and become an elder in less than five years!
Elder, even if it is the high-level of the Silver Moon Monastery.
Elder Tanuki is indeed qualified to pose in front of the candidates.
The six candidates took turns to introduce themselves.
The point is where the original teacher was?
Why did you switch to Silvermoon Monastery?
Of the six, only Alan is from the South Island Warlock Academy.
The two girls, Linda and Renee, were both born into a family of warlocks native to Silvermoon Island.
At the beginning of the awakening of the bloodline, the qualifications of the two were mediocre and not taken seriously.
I can only ask for my own inheritance, and I have learned a bunch of messy things.
In recent years, they have had their own adventures and greatly increased their strength, so they have gained the attention of their respective families and sent them to the Silver Moon Monastery for further study.
The other three male students are from the Warlock Academy of the North Island Federation.
All three of them are from poor families, and their family backgrounds are similar to Allen's friend Ferrin.
When I was younger, there was no better option than the North Island Warlock Academy, which was closer to home.
North Island College, the five dragon vein families are the mainstream.
Bestiary Warlocks are marginalized in the Academy, and they do not have access to a profound inheritance suitable for their own bloodline.
For the sake of the future, he came to Yinyue Island and changed his court.
This situation is similar to that of Allen and is a common phenomenon.
Elder Tanuki didn't seem to be interested in what the crowd had to say.
Even when he heard the obvious boasting, he just smiled contemptuously and did not comment.
After the six of them introduced themselves, Elder Tanuki raised a large furry fat cat's paw and stroked the bronze mirror on the table, infusing it with magical power.
The mirror then glows with a blurred glow.
It immediately attracted the attention of the candidates.
Alan stared at the bronze mirror and felt a slight trance.
Hurriedly opened the fourth-order requiem meditation method to resist the invasion of illusions, and his consciousness immediately returned to clarity.
Alan knew it.
This bronze mirror is enchanted with some kind of psychic illusion.
Able to hypnotize people and produce wonderful hallucinations.
It seems that this magic mirror is the key prop for the interview.
Elder Tanuki's next account confirmed his suspicions.
"This magic guide is called the 'Heart Refining Mirror'."
"Next, you all put your hands on the mirror."
"Relax and don't resist."
"After that, you will enter the Mirror Vision."
"To use an analogy, it's like entering a meditative world."
"You will experience a life encounter in a fantasy world."
"Everyone has different minds and chances, and the hallucinations they experience are different."
"In the illusion, you will go through all kinds of twists and turns, and make choices that are in line with your own ideas."
"When you go through this life experience in a fantasy, you will come to your senses."
"After that, you need to tell your story about your experiences in the illusion."
"I, the examiner, am responsible for being an audience."
"Based on your performance in the illusion and what you told afterwards, give an interview score."
"Ugly things ahead, you'd better not try to hide your true nature!"
Elder Tanuki's gaze turned cold.
"The Mind Refining Mirror will faithfully record every choice you make, and denial is useless."
"Let's just say it, the old man has already practiced the fourth-order secret method of the Silver Moon Stream, 'His Heart Channel'!"
"What you think, the old man is like watching the fire!"
"So, there are people among you who have ill intentions, such as the spies sent by Red Moon Island......"
"Huh...... It's better to turn yourself in now, and you can save a small life. ”
"Otherwise, if I find out, it won't be easy to say."
Elder Tanuki's grim warning echoed through the halls.
The candidates were more or less nervous.
But no one took the initiative to come forward and admit that they were undercover agents sent by the Beast Worship Sect.
Alan had already heard from Sister Lion.
The interview is mainly to investigate the candidate's background and prevent spies from infiltrating the monastery.
Sister Lion also said that with her recommendation as a guarantor, Allen's identity does not need to be assessed, and the interview can be skipped.
More is better than less.
Alan took out a letter of recommendation, intending to explain his situation and apply to Elder Tanuki to be exempted from the interview.
However, before he could speak, the two people next to him also took out letters of recommendation.
Matthew and Linda rushed to hand the letter of recommendation to Elder Tanuki.
"Elder! I have a recommendation from Senior Brother Carl of the Inner Court—"
"Elder! Mason, the deacon of the inner court, is my uncle-in-law—"
Alan smiled helplessly, took Sister Lion's letter of recommendation, and lined up behind the two.
Elder Tanuki took the two letters, didn't bother to open them at all, and tore them to shreds in front of Matthew and Linda!
Matthew and Linda were stunned.
"The three of you who trust the relationship and go through the back door will each deduct ten points!"
Elder Tanuki called names in public, undisguised the contempt in his eyes.
Allen's letter of recommendation, before he could be handed over, survived tearing up.
But among the three people who criticized and deducted points by name, Elder Tanuki also had him.
"I'm tired of reading all kinds of letters of introduction, and I'm annoyed when I see the relationship! Just don't look at it! ”
"In front of me, don't come to this crooked atmosphere!"
Elder Tanuki is righteous and stern.
"This level of my main exam is not only to investigate the background of the candidates, but also to test the candidates' hearts, whether they are honest and firm."
"Exams are all about fairness!"
"The rules of the examination room are bigger than the sky!"
"No matter how hard your relationship is, you can't get preferential treatment from me!"
"All candidates, the old man is treated equally!"
"The three of you, trying to pull the relationship, go through the back door, your character is worried, deduct ten points first!"
"Whoever is not convinced, it is better to leave and not to send!"
Matthew and Linda, their faces turned blue and white for a while.
Alan put away the letter of recommendation and was silent.
This is unexpected.
Elder Tanuki did this, and no one could find fault with it.
I can only blame myself for my bad luck and met an iron-faced and selfless examiner, but it's a pity that Sister Lion's letter of recommendation is a pity.
Webb and Truss could not hide the gloating in their eyes.
Just now I saw Alan and the three of them take out a letter of recommendation, and they were both very unhappy.
At this moment, seeing that the three of them were deflated, and the relationship could not be achieved, but they were scolded by the raccoon elder and deducted the interview scores, not to mention how happy they were!
"The elders are fair and selfless, and the juniors are very admirable!"
Truss wasted no time in touting the Tanuki Elder.
"Silver Moon Monastery, please serve as the chief examiner, presumably also considering that you are fair and do not show favoritism!"
"Thanks to an examiner like an elder sitting in the examination room, we who have no background have a chance to stand out!"
Elder Tanuki stroked his beard and squinted and smiled, seemingly enjoying his flattery.
When Webb saw this, he had a score in his heart.
Hurriedly following Trus's words, he said:
"Elder doesn't know, I'm in the North Island Warlock Academy, and the reason why I've been depressed for many years is because the atmosphere in the academy is too bad!"
"The children of the major families, forming gangs and factions, suppressing dissidents!"
"A child from a poor family, one has no backer, and the other has no connections, no matter how outstanding his talent is, he will not be valued by the academy."
"All kinds of injustices are frustrating."
"In the end, I made up my mind to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and came to the Silver Moon Monastery to seek a pure land."
"The elder's style and bones can be a model for the Silver Moon Monastery!"
"The Silver Moon Monastery has a noble person like you, presiding over the exam, which is enough to prove that we have come to the right place!"
Speaking of this, Webber glanced at the three of Allen and sneered slightly.
"Some people, wherever they go, can't change the bad nature of opportunism!"
"It's a pity that I met the elders, and it was self-defeating and self-inflicted!"
"Haha! Brother Weber, it's over! Truss said with a smile, "What are you telling the truth, aren't you afraid of offending people?" ”
Webb snorted coldly and said proudly:
"No one dares to tell the truth, everyone is afraid of offending people, and the social atmosphere is ruined in this way!"
"Some people, who are used to crooked ways, have been tolerated for too long, and it is long overdue to let them learn a long lesson and restrain themselves!"
Renee saw that Matthew and Linda were embarrassed and embarrassed, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy, so she came out to play the round.
"Webb, Trus, it's almost."
"I guess Matthew, Linda, and Allen don't know the rules of Elder Tanuki, and just do what the elders in the family tell them."
"It's not a big mistake, why bother saying it so ugly that people can't get off the stage......"
"It's none of your business, what are you talking about!"
Elder Tanuki gave Renee a cold look.
"The old man hates unprincipled and muddy people like you the most!"
"The world is declining, people's hearts are corrupting, and at least half of the blame is attributed to people like you!"
"Well said the elder!" Weber praised repeatedly, "Persuade people to be generous, the sky is thundering!" This kind of person, let's stay away from her! ”
Now it was Renee's turn to be embarrassed, her face flushed, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
Elder Tanuki looked around at everyone and was very satisfied with the effect of his "dismounting".
In fact, Elder Tanuki is not absolutely selfless.
Just because the recommender of the artist is unlikely to be a big man in the monastery.
Otherwise, if you come to practice when you are young, why should you worship another sect and stay up until you are so old that you can't get ahead, so you want to take an art investment teacher and change your court?
Do Elder Tanuki's own children need to pass this hurdle?
At the age of twelve, he was led into the monastery by his elders to practice, and he started directly passing on his disciples.
This is called the real background, with heels!
Ordinary inner court disciples, old deacons who are over half a hundred years old, recommenders of this grade, have no future at all, and Elder Tanuki does not need to reward them with face.
Because of this, he has the confidence to refuse to read the recommendation letter and create a fair and selfless persona.
Set rules in front of young people and kill their spirit!
Seeing that the six young people were all obedient to his own training, Elder Tanuki was very proud.
Push the "Heart Refining Mirror" over and ask all six people to touch the mirror at the same time and meditate.
"Half an hour is limited, and when you hear the bell, you will end the meditation."
After the Tanuki Elder explained, he took out the hourglass and a brass bell.
The hourglass is upside down on the table and the timer begins.
Alan and the others each stretched out a hand, touched the bronze mirror, closed their eyes and meditated, and fell into different hallucinations.
Elder Tanuki was also closing his eyes and recuperating.
In the silent hall, only the hourglass made a slight sound.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The last grain of sand also flowed down from the upper funnel.
As if he had an uncertain prophet, Elder Tanuki opened his eyes on time and raised his hand to ring the brass bell.
Ding——
A crisp ringtone, echoing through the hall.
The six young people were awakened in an instant.
They all opened their eyes and got out of the illusion, with different expressions.
Someone is afraid.
Some people are reluctant to give up.
Some people look confused, not yet completely free from the hallucination.
Some people have gloomy faces, gritted their teeth, and seem to be uneasy!
Allen was the calmest of all the candidates.
The super high spiritual attributes, coupled with the gluttonous system and the Requiem meditation method, gave him far higher spiritual resistance than his current realm.
Even in the illusion, he can maintain absolute sobriety.
……
Next, six candidates will take turns to explain their experiences in the illusion.
"You can tell the truth, or you can avoid the important and trivial, or even lie and distort the truth."
"I don't force you to confess in public, but that doesn't mean I don't know what you really think."
Elder Tanuki said lightly.
"The self-described fantasy experience is also part of the exam."
"Every word you say next will be evaluated and counted towards the final score."
"The order in which the statements are made...... Just start on my left-hand side. ”
"Matthew, you tell me about your experience in the illusion first."
"Elder, my identity in the illusion is the heir of a noble family in a certain place."
"Your Majesty respectfully calls me His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Looking back on the experience in the fantasy world, Matthew seems quite complacent.
He, His Royal Highness the Prince, is not so easy to be.
On the orders of his father, he led a group of people to the border villages of the family territory to deal with a troublesome matter.
The village had recently been hit by a plague, and there were rumors of cultist activity.
Matthew led the team over and found that nearly half of the villagers were infected with the plague.
What's even more troublesome is that there are some villagers who are infected with bestiality!
If not dealt with quickly, the epidemic will spread to surrounding villages and towns.
The night of the full moon is approaching, and there is not much time left for Matthew.
The generals under him have two opinions.
It has been argued that the sick should be treated as much as possible.
Opponents believe that it takes too much time to treat the sick and save people, and that the most important task at present is to go into the mountains to search for cultists.
As for the sick in the village...... Instead of investing a huge amount of money and energy in them, it is better to destroy them humanely.
In this way, the pathogen can be completely eliminated and a great plague that may engulf the entire territory can be nipped in the bud.
The opinions of the two factions are-for-tat, and it is ultimately up to Matthew to make the trade-off.
Matthew thought about it a little and made up his mind.
He took the adjutant general, who advocated curing the sick and saving people, and went into the mountains to hunt down and kill the cultists.
Leave behind the lieutenant who advocates the thunderous means and garrison the village.
Before leaving, he said to the lieutenant general who stayed behind: "I don't care what method you use, in short, when I come back, you have to solve the problem for me!" ”
"You don't tell me, what are you going to do, I just look at the results!"
Leaving these orders, Matthew led the team on the march.
A month later.
Matthew's troops smashed the cult den, captured a large group of cultists, and escorted them back to the village.
When I returned to the village, I found a gloomy cloud.
When I inquired about the adjutant general who stayed behind, I learned that not long after he left, the isolation ward accidentally caught fire.
All the infectious disease patients who were isolated and sheltered were unfortunately killed.
Every household in the village is doing funerals.
The lieutenant knelt in front of Matthew, tearfully blaming himself and pleading guilty for his negligence.
Matthew was angry.
In front of the villagers and all the soldiers, he severely reprimanded the deputy general.
Dismissal and investigation!
Afterwards, Matthew took the cult captives and dragged them into the streets.
Gather the villagers and declare the evil deeds of these cultists.
After such publicity, the villagers understood.
The cultists are the ones who spread the plague in the village and kill their relatives and friends!
The villagers were so excited that they signed a petition demanding the execution of the cultists and avenging their relatives and friends who died of the epidemic!
Matthew was sympathetic to the people and agreed!
Erect a gallows at the entrance of the village, and hang all the cultists in front of the villagers!
Happy!
The villagers were discouraged and praised Matthew for his benevolence and righteousness, and he was the great savior of all the people!
When Matthew led the troops away, the villagers were reluctant to send them off in tears.
Word of mouth spread about Matthew's wise deeds, and quickly spread throughout the territory from the small village.
Coupled with the bard's oil and vinegar, he soon became a great hero admired by all the people.
Matthew did a great job.
Led the troops back to the capital and received a grand welcome.
His father was very satisfied with his performance, and after a short time, he officially passed the title of lord to him.
After Matthew took the throne, he recalled the deputy general who was removed from his post and investigated, rewarded him with gold and silver treasures, and a beautiful concubine.
Soon after, the adjutant general was reinstated, and a position that was not high, but very important, was arranged.
Spies and secret police agents in charge of the territory, equivalent to the Director of Internal Affairs.
At the same time, the lieutenant who originally advocated being able to save one counts as one was also reused under Matthew and became his right and left hand.
Both generals were satisfied with his reward and were loyal.
Under Matthew's management, the territory became stronger and stronger, and began to wage a war of unification against the surrounding forces.
"At this point, I was woken up by the ringing bell."
Matthew said lamentingly.
"Give me some more time, and I will unify the whole territory and be crowned king!"
After listening to Matthew's story, Elder Tanuki smiled.
"You kid, it's really ruthless to push the dirty work to your subordinates to do, and you have a good reputation!"
"But then again, there doesn't seem to be a better way to deal with that situation."
"Overall, you're doing pretty well in Illusion."
"Those who achieve great things take into account the overall situation and do not stick to small details."
"Kill decisively, know people well, and know how to buy the hearts of the people."
"Matthew, you have the potential to achieve great things!"
"Give you 90 points, and deduct 10 points for fear of your pride."
"Thank you, Elder!" Matthew is in love.
Next, it was Webb's turn to state.
Compared to Matthew, who mixes like a fish in water in the illusion, Webb's luck is too bad.
Born in a small town, his father was a retired military officer.
Before his father died, he left him a manor property, a set of family knife techniques, and set a family affair for him.
Fiancée, the daughter of the mayor of the town.
Webb and her, childhood sweethearts, have a good relationship.
On the eve of getting married, a sudden catastrophe occurred!
A group of bandits ransacked the town.
Weber relied on his family knife skills to repel the bandits and keep his estate.
Unfortunately, Webb's rescue was a step too late.
His mayor's father-in-law's family was not spared.
His fiancée was also taken captive by the bandits.
The father-in-law was slashed by a bandit, and before he died, he took Weber's hand and entrusted him with the family business and the whole town, so that he could go and save his daughter.
Webb agreed to his father-in-law's deathbed request, but was in no hurry to leave.
Because he is a very cautious person.
decided to practice the family knife skills first, and then go to rescue his fiancée.
lest you fail to save others, and you will be in it.
It took half a year for Weber to practice his knife skills.
The realm of sword art has exceeded the level of his father during his lifetime, and there are ten miles and eight towns around, and no one is his enemy.
Weber was still not sure, he felt that there was no big mistake in being careful, and he practiced hard for half a year, and his sword skills were successful.
At this time, he felt ready and entered the mountain.
Successfully find the bandit's lair.
Kill all the way from beginning to end, no one can stop his knife.
At this moment, Webb felt like a sword god!
Webber only used five points of skill, and before he could enjoy it, he killed the group of criminals.
Finally, in the house of the bandit leader, he found his fiancée who had been separated for a year.
It turned out to be a great rage for him!
This shameless woman has lost herself to the bandit leader and is pregnant.
What made Webb even more ashamed was that his fiancée actually had a big belly and begged him not to kill the adulterer.
Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, for the sake of the baby in her belly, she has accepted her fate.
Weber was so angry that he scolded her for not keeping her way and living up to her sincerity.
I'm sorry that I've been practicing my sword all year.
I'm sorry to break into the thief's lair alone to rescue!
Forgive this adulterer and adulteress?
Bah!
Think beautifully!
In a fit of rage, Webber stabbed his fiancée and the leader of the thieves.
As for the evil seed in the woman's belly, of course, she also followed her mother to the funeral.
After the incident, Webb set fire to the cottage and walked away.
Although he killed all the enemies, his heart was very depressed.
Until I woke up from the illusion and thought of the green hat on my head, I still felt very angry!
Elder Tanuki listened to him and frowned.
"Even if you don't practice your sword skills at home and are a little bolder, you can save your fiancée in time, why do you have to delay for so long?"
"Elder, I'm out of caution, just in case!"
Webb hurriedly argued.
"The result of prudence is to be busy in vain?"
Matthew still hated this kid for mocking himself before, and sneered and doubled his return.
"Oh, no! You didn't work in vain, and you have an extra green hat on your head, which is a reward. ”
"Beware of the Ten Thousand Year Ship! I'm thoughtful and prudent, what's wrong with that? Weber's face turned blue with anger, "You don't scold that unchaste woman, don't scold the thief, but mock me who saved people alone, it's just right and wrong!" ”
"The question is, why do you have to save people alone?"
Alan couldn't help but complain.
"You're a celebrity in town, the mayor's son-in-law."
"Before the mayor died, he also entrusted you with the family property and the affairs of the town, which is equivalent to acting as the mayor of the town."
"Why don't you exercise your power, use your fame and connections, gather a group of young men in the town, arm them, and lead them into the mountains to kill the thieves?"
"You have a manor, a land, and the mayor's inheritance, so you don't have to be short of money."
"Even if you spend some money, you can recruit mercenaries."
"I just want to hide at home alone and practice knives, and go into the mountains alone to seek the enemy, isn't this a sacrifice to seek the near and far?"
Allen's question left Webb speechless for a moment.
He hadn't even considered a plan to gather the crowd to fight the thief.
Practicing hard alone has always been a habit for him.
In his life, in addition to practicing hard alone, he didn't know or considered any other ways to success!
"You have been practicing at home for a year, and you don't even take the time to inquire about the scale and strength of the bandits?"
Linda also didn't forget Weber's previous sarcasm and added fuel to the fire.
"Even if you take a little risk, you can kill through the cottage and save your fiancée in time."
"I keep thinking about my fiancée, but I don't want to take the slightest risk for her, and I don't even want to use my brain."
"In the final analysis, what you care about most is yourself, or rather, you love your face more than your fiancée."
Truss coughed dryly twice and took over the conversation.
"Webb, I'm not criticizing you, I'm just saying a few words of truth."
"You dragged on for a year to save people, your fiancée, a weak woman who was helpless, was trapped in a thief's den, what will happen to you this whole year, don't you have a little count in your own heart?"
"Either you take a risk and save people as soon as possible."
"Either don't take the risk, or don't save people at all."
"Go, it's late, then don't complain!"
Weber's face turned from blue to purple, his head bowed, and he didn't say a word.
"Webber is already very uncomfortable, let's be merciful."
Renee couldn't bear to see Webber being ridiculed by the crowd.
As soon as the words came out, they caught fire.
"When Weber teased you just now, he didn't show the slightest mercy."
Matthew glared at Renee angrily.
"You have a good heart, and adults don't remember villains."
"Persuade people to be generous, the sky is thundering - Weber's words are really not wrong!"
Linda sneered and took over the conversation:
"Who wouldn't say a beautiful thing about not wanting money?"
"It's really generous, or pretending to be a white lotus, it's hard to say!"
Renee's face was full of embarrassment, and she was too scared to squeak again.
Elder Tanuki coughed lightly and got back to the point.
"Webb, I don't comment on your over-cautiousness."
"All I can say is that your pattern is a little smaller, and your brain is not smart enough."
"A good hand at the beginning, but you played it to a pulp!"
"Give you 70 points, it can't be more."
Webb did not protest the raccoon elder's rating.
Dejected, like a frosted eggplant.
Next, it's Truss and Linda's turn.
Trus's start was a little worse than Webb's.
The family fell in the middle of the road, and was tragically divorced, and then became angry and successful.
The ex-fiancée, coveting his wealth, cheekily came to the door to ask for a reunion.
Truss abruptly refused, spilling a bowl of water in front of the door.
to show that "it is difficult to recover when covered with water".
The woman left in shame and hanged herself shortly after.
Trus married the daughter of a famous family and lived a luxurious life ever since.
Linda's encounter is also a cliché that she likes to see.
An orphan girl like a flower, she sold herself to bury her father.
Married into a wealthy family as a concubine.
was suppressed by the main house, and discriminated against by her mother-in-law and her husband's relatives and friends.
Even the subordinates don't take her seriously, and they make all kinds of difficulties.
Linda quickly stepped into the role and devoted herself to the great cause of house fighting in full swing.
claimed that with beauty, wisdom and kindness, coupled with a little means, he finally collapsed the main room and won the favor of his husband alone.
After that, her great enemy became her mother-in-law.
Especially after giving birth to two daughters in a row, rumors that she could not bear a boy gradually threatened her position in the family.
Her husband took a concubine again, and Linda felt the crisis.
was forced to exchange the prince for a tanuki operation, and successfully obtained a nominal male heir, thus stabilizing the overall situation.
Kill the concubine.
Survive the mother-in-law.
The husband finally hung up.
Linda, who is middle-aged, has truly become the head of the family!
After that, she regained her girlhood and began to find true love.
One romantic love after another has enriched her middle-aged life, and she lives happily.
Elder Tanuki, who gave Trus and Linda a rating of 85 and 75 respectively.
This made Alan feel a little surprised.
Judging from the statements of the two, they both spent a relatively successful life in the illusion.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be such a big score gap.
Linda was also quite upset, and asked the elder why her score was so much lower than that of Trus.
"If you tell two less lies, you can get five more points."
Elder Tanuki's reply made Linda's face change slightly.
Hanging his head, he looked a little weak.
Eren knew that Elder Tanuki was good at his psychics.
Unless Linda's spiritual attributes were higher than those of the Elders, it would be difficult to hide her true experience in the secret realm.
It can be seen that in the process of her statement, she may have added too many beautifying ingredients to her experience and actions.
Next it was Renee's turn.
Her role in the illusion is that of a witch who lives in a lighthouse.
Only a talking crow was around.
Renee's duty is to guard the lighthouse and rescue ships that have run aground in a nearby bay.
Every night, crows patrol the sea.
When you find a shipwreck, you come back and tell the hostess.
Watch the Witch, there is a magical magic.
When used, it is possible to transport shipwrecked ships directly to shallow waters, thus saving the lives of passengers.
This kind of magic can only be used once a day!
And it doesn't always work out.
The larger the ship, the lower the success rate!
In the illusion, Renee used magic three times in total.
For the first time, Raven tells her that both ships are trapped in a storm at the same time.
There were ten people on one of the ships.
There was only one person on the other boat.
Renee needs to make a choice right away.
Which ship to rescue?
Or, she can save no one.
Renee didn't hesitate to choose the ship that saved more passengers.
The second time, two ships, one large and one small, were shipwrecked in the storm and collided with each other, making it difficult to separate for a while.
The raven told her mistress,
There were ten people in a small boat and a hundred people in a large boat.
Use magic to save the boat, 100% successful.
If you want to rescue the big ship, you are only 50% sure.
Rescuing small and large boats at the same time, the success rate is only 30%.
How do you choose?
Renee hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to save them all!
Unfortunately, she failed.
The refugees on both ships eventually died at sea.
One last time, the crow came back to tell her.
Both ships get lost in the storm and need to be rescued by her.
On one of the small boats, it was her nephew who was killed.
On another large ship, the ten passengers were all strangers.
So, which ship is she going to save?
After some consideration, Renee finally relented and decided to rescue the ship.
"After all, ten lives are greater than one."
At the end of the statement, Renee defends her choice.
As a result, it was ridiculed and ridiculed.
"It's bad luck to be your friend and family!" Truss scoffed.
"Let's not talk about relatives and friends, let's talk about saving people for the second time, can't you calculate 100×50% or 110×30%, which number is bigger?"
Matthew tilted his head and counted Renee.
"Are you illiterate, or don't have a brain?!"
Alan didn't blame Renee.
In fact, he didn't think much of Renee's choice.
It's just that compared to others, he can still respect Renee's choice.
Elder Tanuki's comments on Renee are also mainly negative.
"First of all, the only shining point in you is honesty."
"You're not lying, that's all."
Elder Tanuki changed his words and began to lash out!
"It's a pity, you really don't care about relatives, you don't calculate the odds of success or failure, you just want to satisfy your own virgin heart!"
"So, you stupid white sweet, more disgusting than a hypocrite!"
"If you gain power and do bad things with good intentions, and cause harm, you are far greater than a true villain!"
"If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
"If you give you a high score, it's a crime!"
"The old man is kind-hearted, give you a passing grade."
"Sixty points, take it!"
Regarding Elder Tanuki's evaluation, Alan remained silent.
Matthew, Webb, Truss and Linda, collectively applauded.
They have praised the elders for being sensible, not pedantic, and individual!
Renee was stupid.
The face is overwhelmed.
She is always trying to please others and doesn't want to offend anyone.
But no one said anything good about her.
She couldn't figure it out, obviously she didn't have a bad heart towards anyone, and tried to treat everyone as gently as possible.
Why did it come to this point?
No one wants to answer her questions.
Including Allen.
Although he could vaguely see a almost forgotten figure from Renee.
Beatrice.
His former squad leader, the poor girl who died of the plague.
Renee was eliminated early and went home, gave up her cultivation, and may be able to live a dull and happy life for the rest of her life.
Finally, it was Ellen's turn to state his experience in the illusion.
In the illusion, Alan is also from a middle-class family.
Nothing but pedigree and surname to boast of.
The down-and-out children of the aristocracy entered a wealthy family and suffered a lot of discrimination.
The arrogant and wife looks down on him, and she is just arrogant, and she cheats on her cousin.
Even his wife's adulterer didn't take him as a son-in-law seriously.
ridiculed and ridiculed him in front of him, making him unable to get off the stage, and he had no dignity in this big family.
Alan also went to his father-in-law to complain, but all he got was doubly insulted:
"You're nothing more than a dog in my house!"
"Your hostess, what's wrong with having a few more little wolf dogs to play with?"
"Be loyal, that's a dog's duty!"
"When have you ever seen a dog complaining about its owner's infidelity to him?"
"Stop complaining in front of me, go back and be a loyal dog!"
Unreasonable with his father-in-law, Alan realizes that if he wants to survive in this family, he must find a reliable ally.
With this in mind, he analyzed the relationship between the members of the family.
The father-in-law is old and frail, and the aftermath is still there.
The original wife has long since died, and there is only one daughter, which is Alan's wife.
The father-in-law continued to be a young wife and gave birth to two daughters successively.
The eldest daughter died young, and the second daughter was still young.
The father-in-law was unwilling, complaining that his mother-in-law was not angry, and planned to marry another concubine and strive to have a son.
For this reason, there are many conflicts between old husbands and young wives, and the relationship is becoming increasingly tense.
It is obvious that the mother-in-law's position in this family is in jeopardy.
So, Alan approached his mother-in-law intentionally or unintentionally and took the initiative to be courteous.
Two people who share the same illness soon form an alliance.
Alan was supported by his mother-in-law and helped to say a few good words at a critical moment, barely gaining a foothold in the family.
After some time, the mother-in-law became pregnant again, and the doctor concluded that it was a baby boy based on the pregnancy.
The father-in-law was overjoyed to learn that his wife was about to give birth to a true heir for him.
When the news came out that the mother-in-law was pregnant with a baby boy, the most nervous was Allen's nominal wife.
As the eldest daughter of the family, she was able to obtain her current status entirely because her father did not have a boy.
The stepmother gives birth to a boy, which will inevitably cause her to lose her inheritance rights!
This is something she can't tolerate no matter what!
If she goes to Alan, that is, her husband, to discuss this matter, there may be room for redemption.
However, she has always looked down on her son-in-law.
He didn't reveal his thoughts to Allen at all, but ran to her adulterous cousin for advice.
The two conspired and decided to take a risk and poison their stepmother's tocolytic!
When it comes to poison, no one is more familiar with it than Alan.
detoxified his mother-in-law in time, and by the way, he collected evidence of the adulterer's adulterer's crime, and handed it to his father-in-law through his mother-in-law.
The father-in-law was furious and killed his daughter's concubine with his own hands.
The eldest daughter was not spared.
Break your legs, put yourself in the attic, and imprison your unfilial daughter to death!
In fact, she didn't survive that winter.
silently, frozen to death in the attic......
Allen, as a son-in-law, was also affected and was angrily reprimanded by his father-in-law:
"The soft bones that don't fight for anger can't even manage their wives well! What do you want? ”
"Useless thing, get out of the house!"
The father-in-law was angry, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to persuade him.
Quietly gave Alan a large sum of money to fund him to open a clinic in the city and run a pharmacy.
He often visits his son-in-law in the name of seeing a doctor and buying medicine.
In the new year, my mother-in-law gave birth to a son, and the family celebrated.
Allen's clinic and pharmacy are doing a thriving business.
Two years later, my father-in-law became critically ill.
Before he died, he was still remorseful, and he shouldn't have refused Allen's visit because of anger.
If you had taken the medicine he had prescribed, you might have lived for another ten years.
As soon as the mother-in-law heard this, she hurriedly invited Alan to see her father-in-law for the last time.
The father-in-law was on the hospital bed, holding his son-in-law's hand, and admitted that he underestimated him and should not have driven him away in the first place.
He also asked Alan to put aside his past grievances, remember his son-in-law's affection, forgive his short-lived daughter who had no eyes and no beads, and take care of orphans and widows in the future.
Alan promised to come down.
After his father-in-law died, his mother-in-law begged Alan to move back so that he could take care of the orphans and widows.
Considering that he is a widow and Alan is a widower, living under the same roof, there is no need to gossip.
Out of justifiable considerations, the mother-in-law made the decision and married her daughter to Alan Xuxian.
Alan obeyed her mother-in-law's arrangement, married Cardamom Fanghua's sister-in-law, and moved back home.
From now on, he is no longer a son-in-law, but the head of the family.
