Working Prophet.

Chapter 167 Prove Yourself (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Everyone~)

"So that's all about my father?" Miss Rabbit said with red eyes.

"It may be unfair to Russ, but it may be a better choice for the Arias family to do nothing," Ona said.

"Really? Then why did you suddenly change your mind and tell me about it?"

"I admit that I misjudged you before, or misjudged the people around you... But these are not important. The important thing is that you won, not only won the election, but also defeated your The stepmother and younger brother became the masters of this territory.

"I've seen what you've done during this time, and I think I have to take back my previous evaluations of you. Although you are still a little immature in some things, you are already qualified, no... yes Excellent lord too.

"I told you about your father, not for you to avenge him, but for you to distinguish between enemies and friends, be vigilant, and not repeat his responsibility." The old man said slowly.

"I'd rather hear you tell me that because I'm your great-granddaughter, you're worried about me, that's why you told me this secret, but I guess you don't care about your own descendants, we're all just pawns in your hands That's all, for you to manipulate at will to achieve your goals." The girl said coldly.

"Of course I care about you, otherwise why would I want to control the previous election? Anyway, whether it's you or Blanco, the blood of the Arias family is flowing in your body. Whoever becomes the head of the family is very important to me." There is no difference." Ona shook her head.

"This is the problem. You always talk about the family, saying that the interests of the family are above all else. What you love from the beginning to the end is just some kind of invisible and intangible grand concept that is assembled together, not The living people under this collection."

"If you live to be my age..."

The girl interrupted her great-grandmother, "I don't have to live to your age to always remember that I am my father's daughter, your great-granddaughter, and if I have a child in the future, I will also be his mother, no matter what happens later No matter what other identity I have, I will still not forget this.

"That's why I will never choose to remain silent when my grandson is murdered. No matter how amazing the identity of the main messenger is, I will continue to investigate, thoroughly investigate the matter, and let the real murderer pay the due price."

The old man was silent when he heard the words, and he opened his mouth after a while, "You are the current Patriarch of the Arias family, how to deal with the affairs left by the previous Patriarch is your right, I just learned from my past life experience and what I heard Some rumors have drawn inferences that the danger behind this incident may be far beyond the imagination of all of us.

"The Arias family may still be regarded as a force in the western region, but compared with the real big families in the capital, we are no better than a nest of ants.

"It's not just us. Didn't you take in some refugees from the East some time ago? The Weiting family used to be one of the twelve largest families in the empire and the top noble family on the continent of Bratis. However, in Game of Thrones After the defeat, less than [-]% of the entire family survived.

"Now these people have been dispatched to the western border and become the lowest level of civilians. They can only rely on hard work to obtain food. If you insist on tracking down Ruth's death, please proceed with caution. Before you have enough power and evidence, Don't act rashly, otherwise the Wetin family's today is the Arias family's tomorrow."

Ona paused, then continued, "But what I'm most worried about is that prophet named Merlin and his Shuangxiu Cult. I still can't see his intentions..."

"Merlin? Merlin's intention is very simple. He wants the entire continent of Bratis to believe in Saturday. This is what he told me." Ilea said.

Hearing the words, the old man seemed to want to say something more, but in the end he just sighed, "Alas... divine right."

"Is there any problem with theocracy? The Silver Moon Church has existed in the Western Territory for thousands of years. Most of the people here, including our Arias family, are their believers. Aren't you used to it?" the girl said disapprovingly. .

"The Shuangxiu Church and the Silver Moon Church are not the same thing," the old man said, "If Merlin wants to continue the Silver Moon Church's way of life in the western region, then even if the Shuangxiu Sect really replaces the Silver Moon Church, it won't be a big deal Yes, the big guy is nothing more than praying to another god, but I don’t think he’s satisfied with that.”

"Are you afraid that there will be more believers of Shuangxiu religion in the territory, which will affect the family's tax revenue? Actually, there is no need to worry about this. Merlin promised me that the harvest in the field in the next year will only be more than this year, otherwise the insufficient part will he I will pay for it myself.”

Ilea said, "Merlin always keeps his word, and he will definitely do what he promises."

Ona glanced at her great-granddaughter again, and a rare smile appeared on that old face, "That's good, actually, I'm going to move out of Teacup Castle in a few days."

"What do you mean by moving out of Teacup Castle...?"

"As I said, I am too old, and you are now enough to take care of the future of the Arias family, so there is no need for me to point fingers.

"We do things differently, and staying together will only deepen our conflict."

"Then you don't have to leave the castle."

"With my prestige in the Arias family, as long as I don't leave Teacup Castle, you won't be able to truly grasp the full power of the family and make them all willing to use it for you," said the old man.

"So you can take this as my compensation for manipulating the election. In addition, you are right in saying that I am the kind of person who will always put the interests of the family above the individual. Of course it also includes my own interests."

"Is there no other way?"

Ona shook her head, "I've made up my mind. I will leave for Rock Snow City after the trouble in the swamp is resolved."

"Yan Xuecheng, you don't even want to stay in Luye anymore?"

"Of course not. Didn't you want to investigate your father's death? It just so happens that I still have some friends in the western region. I can also help you in Yanxue City."

The girl was moved when she heard the words, and said after a while, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned your feelings for us juniors before."

"You don't need to apologize, I still don't approve of your act of avenging your father, but since you have decided to do this, as a member of the family, I will certainly do my best to help you, as for the return... I hope one day I can see the Arias family rising under your leadership.

"This is the best way to completely convince me that the path I chose is correct."
