Steel steam and flame

Qilaandi has changed a lot since the death of the Knight of the Round Table in the family. The voice of opposition was completely suppressed, and the original family patriarch also completely disappeared from people's eyes after the death of the Knight of the Round Table who was his greatest support. But there was definitely no death, Himya knew it. He should be hiding among other forces. As a family patriarch, whether it is considerable combat power or excellent leadership skills, it is something that many forces need. Most of these things cannot be obtained by talent alone. It is just management and leadership experience that needs to be accumulated over time.

After greeting these two honest and honest brothers, Himya came to the end of the corridor, opened the door and went in.

The room is not big, and Macquarie is not a person who likes luxury goods. For him, simplicity and simplicity are the best things. A large table and two or three large bookshelves. Half of the bookshelves on the bookshelf are books that Macquarie likes, and he will take them out and read them again and again from time to time, and the other half are detailed information about the Qilaandi family. To manage the Kiraandi family on your behalf, you must first understand the family thoroughly. It's a very hard and tiring man. He is one of the twenty-three great families that have accumulated thousands of years of experience. It is completely impossible to understand its entirety and core in a short time. We can only start with recent events first, because this family is also facing a hidden crisis.

"Will there be good news as soon as you come back?" Macquarie raised his head and said with a warm voice and a smile on his face. He made a sit-down gesture to Himiya, indicating that he should sit down and talk. What to say next But it's far more than just the information brought by Himiya himself.

"Half is good, half is bad. As for what can be gained and seen from it, I am also thinking about it." Himya replied, and what followed was almost in the form of a retelling, telling him exactly what the old professors said at that time. Macquarie.

The room fell into silence for a while. Macquarie tapped his fingers on the table from time to time, and he was also extracting something useful to himself from these words.

"Perhaps the speculations circulating in our circle are not necessarily correct." McGregor said, "Of course, I am not saying that Master Cassia is also a failed test subject of the Chira Andi family, and that the complete The experimental subject will not be him. We can be sure of this matter. The only complete experimental subject born in the experiment is in the hands of the previous patriarch Tovi Luest. It should be one year old now. Of course, this age must be Calculate it based on the age of the dragon. It’s scary to think about it. It won’t be long before that experimental subject will also have good combat effectiveness.”

"Deputy Chief, do you agree with that speculation?" Himiya wondered, "If Master Cassia is also an experimental subject, where will the laboratory that produced him be? In addition to our family, I want to have this kind of biotechnology. It should not exist. Even Avalon is stuck with technical difficulties. Of course it’s not a technical difficulty, it’s just that they are more humane.”

"The birth of this kind of thing actually has little to do with the laboratory." Macquarie said in a gentle tone, "We don't need to know where this laboratory is now. As for whether it actually exists, it is irrelevant to us. . Because it can be seen from the words of the professors at the military school that the growth paths of Master Cassia and the regiment leader are different. The two may have the same final result, but they are two parallel paths. Just like the operations of the empire and other countries, That's the truth. In the short term, we don't have to worry about other experimental subjects appearing. As long as we know this, it is enough for us. It is still unknown whether we will have the opportunity to consider what will happen next. "

The topic was cut off here, and Macquarie talked about other related situations.

"This trip to the coastal area has yielded a lot." Before Himiya came here, Magri had already sorted out a line in his head.

"About the new patriarch, Torvellest?" Xemiah has already prepared. Macquarie is training her to be the new family leader, or one of the leaders. It turned out that a group of elders of the Qilaandi family, Xiaoban, left with the previous patriarch, and Xiaoban directly gave up his power and used the shell of the Qilaandi family to prepare for his retirement. But rather than saying that, it is better to say that they have remained neutral now and are waiting to see which direction the empire will take.

The remaining people stayed in Qilaandi, obeying Macquarie's orders. But as a "new" family, the power in their hands has naturally been reduced by one level. Originally, the time before the war was also the time when the family power transition and handover were most intensive. This group of people also accepted it peacefully.

"Two aspects. On the one hand, it is the whereabouts of the previous clan leader, and the forces behind it are also very clear. The Holy Emperor's Hall was the first to stand up. Their position has never changed. The leader was a sharp weapon in their hands before, but now he has lost it. If they want this thing, they can't get it, and naturally they don't want the edge of this sharp weapon to be pointed at them. There are more old guys in the Holy Emperor's Hall. They all cherish their lives very much, and any threat will be magnified into death by them. Something like that.”

Macquarie's tone was contemptuous. He was originally one of the Knights of the Round Table and knew the Holy Emperor's Hall very well. Later, he voluntarily gave up his identity as a Knight of the Round Table, which was also the reason. There is a personality incompatibility between the two.

"The previous patriarch, Torvillest, is not in the empire now. He has gone to an extreme area and brought the complete experimental body with him. I think they want to speed up the growth of the experimental body. The environment of the extreme area and various Several factors also have such an effect.”

"Are we going to create a solid basis again? After all, without the support of the family, they will gradually become nothing more than valuable tools in the eyes of other forces."

"That's true. As a person who still has some time to live, Tovi Lust will inevitably be very uncomfortable if his status is suddenly lowered. Sitting in this position, it is said that he has no ambition and the ability to match it. No one will believe his strength. He definitely wants to find what he lost again. This is what everyone is convinced of." Macquarie continued, "So it is very troublesome. I entered the extreme area and wanted to find it there. They would spend a lot of money and their manpower would be constrained, and now is the time when we need available manpower. So we gave up, and we withdrew from there, leaving only a few people to guard, waiting for them to return to the empire. Of course. There is also the intention to explore other forces to see which forces are standing behind the previous clan leader."

"The matter over there is over." Himya breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure the family is facing now comes from many aspects.

"It can be said that at least there is no need to spend more time, but we must always be on guard. Because while tracking him, we discovered a more interesting news, which also provided the answer to my question not long ago." McGregor thought Interesting but helpless things, the smile on the face comes and goes.

Himya is waiting for the next step.

"Remember what happened at the last family party?" Macquarie asked. "Not long ago, the empire was shaken, and five Knights of the Round Table positions were vacant, and one more. At the same time, half of the Knights of the Round Table were missing. The selection may be the first time the empire has encountered such a situation."

"The patriarch hunted down our family's Knights of the Round Table at the party?" Himiya couldn't think of any connection. If there was one, he could only think of one thing. The patriarch needed to eliminate the party with the loudest opposition. After all, that knight of the Round Table was considered A huge support for the previous clan leader.

"Yes." Macquarie nodded. He could see what Himia was thinking. "Generally, we have the same view on this matter. But there is one thing that is not clear. I have reminded the leader many times. I told her not to expose the fact that she was carrying the holy sword with her, because we could create too much smoke on it. But it was exposed in the end, and very suddenly, from the moment I reminded the group leader, The transition between these two events was less than two weeks. I didn’t know the reason for it for a long time.”

"Then this time we tracked down the previous patriarch, Tovi Lust, and we found that they smelled of solid red mercury." McGregor said with a smile, "Actually, the leader didn't necessarily want to kill the Knights of the Round Table in the family. But everything that happened can be said to have been caused by Torvellest himself.”

Himya sighed and shook his head: "The previous patriarch would snatch the red mercury from Master Cassia, probably to accelerate the growth of the complete experimental body. Thinking about it this way, it seems that he has not succumbed to the leader from the beginning. The meaning below."

"He is a man who is ambitious enough, and his strength can support his ambition. It is impossible for him to give in. It's just that the time is wrong. After all, the empire has been dominated by power for thousands of years, and strength ranks behind. It can be shaken with strength. There are not many times when we are in a position of power, and we do not talk about the interference of other countries. Such a period of time, even including now, has only appeared three times in the empire."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone,,,,
