Fina's words were an understatement, but she had already turned her hands into clouds and her hands into rain.

In the end, Gurening was just provoking, but Midi almost took his name. But now, on the contrary, it has achieved the good story of the guardian knight at all costs for the object of his oath, and Gu Liening, who was hit by a sword in his shoulder, has become a dishonorable perpetrator.

For a while, Gu Liening was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and after a long time, he finally held back such a sentence: "The wound on the shoulder is not in the way, please allow me to continue to participate in the meeting, it will not cause trouble." ”

Of course, it is impossible for Gu Liening to "heal the wounds", otherwise, it is equivalent to being kicked out of the family meeting in disguise, which is equivalent to being marginalized. So he could only endure the pain, let the servant hastily bandage it, and then use the word "please" to stay in his place.

Looking at the person in charge of the fencing branch with a gloomy and bloodless face and bloodstains on his shoulders, the eyes of the other six branches suddenly became serious and solemn.

They knew that they had underestimated the enemy before.

It's just an eighteen-year-old boy and girl, but a professional who hasn't even reached level 40, and has lost the most powerful backing of the iron-blooded Grand Duke. These powerhouses who were truly at the pinnacle of the Duchy of Belmar didn't take this family meeting too seriously.

Originally, they thought that this meeting was at most just a distribution of interests and disputes between the seven branches. But I didn't expect that when I came up, I was taken away by Fina, and even almost took the life of a person in charge, but there was nowhere to reason.

A ragged colt may make a good horse!

Several people in charge exchanged glances with each other, and soon, they had already straightened out their mentality.

Feeling the unbridled smell of gunpowder on the scene gradually fading, Midi knew that this was just the first step. As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to defend against, and taking advantage of the opponent's contempt to strike with all their strength does not mean that the goal can be achieved in front of the iron wall that is strictly guarded.

To truly integrate the Hamilton family, starting now, is the beginning of the real battle.

"Since I am convening this meeting as the acting head of the family, I am sure that my grandfather is not in retreat, but in poor health. As soon as she came up, no matter whether the seven people in front of her really didn't know the way or pretended not to know the way, Fina came up and went straight to the point, unabashedly explaining everything, "At present, the territory of the principality is full of monsters and bandits, and it has reached a critical point, and in this case, it is necessary for the family to carry out stronger integration in order to deal with the upcoming crisis. ”

"So, what are your plans, the acting head of the house?" said another voice, an old man with a white beard across the round table.

This is the head of the "Dian Jin" branch, and he is the same generation as the Iron and Blood Grand Duke, and the old man has always doted on the red-haired cute "little princess" in the family. When I speak now, I naturally have the intention to take care of future generations.

Seeing that there were people echoing in the seven branches, Fina's heart was also slightly relaxed, she nodded, and continued: "The deployment of troops and high-level professionals, the strengthening and selection of production aspects such as alchemy, magic, and planting, as well as the deployment of transportation, I think that a certain degree of adjustment is needed. At the same time, while making strategic preparations, it is also necessary to take into account the factors of the Hayabusa group. ”

"For hundreds of years, the family has been one of the seven branches, each doing its own thing. It's uncertain whether there will be a civil war in the principality, is the little princess thinking about pointing fingers now?" The head of the scroll branch, a middle-aged man with glasses and a robe, who looked polite, frowned, and sneered sharply in his tone.

"Taking a step back, even if we cooperate with the acting head of the family, with your current age, how much do you know about the different branches?"

Seeing that Fina did not refute the person in charge of the book branch, the other leaders immediately spoke one after another.

This is a matter of course, everyone here is a big man, no one likes to be pointed at by others, if it is a second awakening powerhouse like the iron-blooded Grand Duke, it is okay to endure it, but at this moment, sitting in the position of the head of the family is only an eighteen-year-old girl, the level is not even level 40, who would want to bow his head?

Even if you realize that Midi's personal strength is incomparably strong, so what?

To grasp the seven branches at the same time, what is needed is not only personal strength, but also a large amount of technical accumulation, as well as a huge amount of potential.

These responsible people have put forward opinions, and in the final analysis, it is one sentence - well water does not interfere with river water.

They had already recognized Midi's strength, and they had long known Fina's ability, so they temporarily eliminated the idea of taking the opportunity to snatch the position of the head of the family. It's just that, at the cost of taking a step back, most of these leaders don't want Fina to reach into their realm either.

The trunk belongs to Fina, and the branches remain unmoved, and this is the obvious meaning hidden in their words.

In fact, this is the core of the bargaining at this family meeting.

In normal times, Fina would definitely choose to accept it.

After all, time is always on the side of young people, with the Golden Bough Legion and the Grand Duke's title, plus this Rose Mountain City, Fina can completely digest it slowly, and then gradually eat away at the seven branches. Pull a batch, fight a batch, eat a batch, with the leadership charm of the Magic Bullet Queen, Midi conservatively estimates that at most three years, the peaceful transition will be completed, and there will be no more branches at that time.

But now is not the usual, but a turbulent time, a year of crisis, a tipping point for civil war.

So Fina and Midi couldn't compromise and could only keep moving forward until they had all the strength in their hands and twisted them together. Otherwise, when the war breaks out, the Hamilton family will bear the brunt of the disaster.

It stands to reason that in this trend, the people in charge of these branches should also understand that only by integrating can they maintain an undefeated situation in the situation of stormy and devastating, and then let the family win the greatest benefits.

However, at present, no one is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation, so the dispute is deadlocked.

This is called human nature.

Midi and Fina looked at each other and exchanged glances.

It's almost time to throw the bait.

"You seem to have misunderstood, the reason why I want to be able to participate in the affairs of the major branches is more to conduct a talent investigation. Fina took a sip of black tea and said slowly, "After all, in the next step after the integration of branches, my consideration is to open up and awaken conditionally and purposefully. ”

The entire conference hall fell silent in an instant, and the silence was incomparable.

The people in charge still maintained their composure and extremely calm expressions, after all, their qualifications and vision were there, and they were not out of shape. However, the fact that there was no one on the field to speak and the collective silence spoke for itself.

Open awakening, this is something that every branch dreams of.

For hundreds of years, the ownership of the Lake Hall has been firmly in the hands of the Trunk, and only the top floors of the Trunk, as well as the most loyal guards, are eligible to enter the Hall for Awakening. Although everyone knows that this will bring strong sequelae, and there are not a few people who die in the awakening, the temptation of breaking through the level 50 cap is enough to overshadow everything.

Moreover, among the people in charge here, there are not a few who have reached level 50, and they understand the meaning of awakening even more.

"It doesn't seem appropriate to open Lake Hall, it's the Hamilton family's biggest secret for hundreds of years, and it can't be easily divulged. The person in charge of the scroll branch, a middle-aged man in a long robe, spoke again, but it was a cold rebuttal.

It's a retreat that disrupts Fina's rhythm.

After all, in the case where one party throws the bait and the other party can't help but bite the hook, it is likely that there will be a one-sided result at the end. Scheming like these big guys, they are naturally unwilling to follow a little girl's train of thought.

So, at the very least, show a nonchalant attitude to break the game.

But how could Fina give him this chance?

"You're mistaken, I'm not talking about the Lake Hall, I'm talking about the Eagle's Nest. The red-haired girl replied nonchalantly, "After all, the family's awakening environment is not small, I don't want level 50 powerhouses to die in awakening, or leave too many sequelae, they are the mainstay of the future." ”

Does the Eagle's Nest have an awakening environment?

That small and impoverished place of the Asrex family can awaken people?

How is this possible!

This time, the people in charge couldn't hold back any longer, and finally showed shocked eyes.

Does the Eagle's Nest have an awakening environment? Of course not, Midi and Fina know that all too well.

However, after carefully observing and studying the Huguang Hall, Midi combined with the experience of his previous life, and felt that it should not be a problem to recreate a better one. Alice, the Witch of the Mist, is knowledgeable, the alchemist Norton's superb methods, and the experience of Midi, who has awakened twice in the previous life, are enough to create a better environment for awakening.

What's more, Midi said that after 986 in the Arad calendar, when the city in the sky on the west coast of Faroe Bay revealed its true form, the environment of "natural awakening" would appear.

At that time, the Lake Light Hall, which is currently regarded as a treasure by the Hamilton family, will become worthless.

The adventurers will spread the conditions of awakening, and the monopoly of the aristocratic families on the land of awakening will also be broken.

Not only that, but compared to artificial awakening, as long as you choose the right time and place during natural awakening, you can even achieve "perfect awakening", just like "perfect job transfer".

Therefore, Midi didn't mind at all, and took out these "awakening environments" that were cherished by the people in charge as bait.

Anyway, it is something that will soon become obsolete and fall in price, so it is better to take advantage of the asymmetry in information now and make a fortune quickly. This is where the foresight and unsurpassed advantage of the regenerate come in.

Looking at the people in charge who were deep in thought, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Midi's mouth.
