A long table without objects is placed in the center of the building surrounded by white, and a seat used by nobles is placed in each interval. The thin white gauze on the back of the chair and the cushion made of soft fur can sit on it. The person in the chair feels comfortable and warm.

It is a very expensive chair that is hardly enjoyed by commoners.

It's just that even a nobleman sitting in this seat still can't fully enjoy the comfort brought by the buttocks. The tension and depression that emanate from every minute and every second in this room make people breathless.

"It may be a bit late in terms of time, so please forgive me, then let's start the family meeting of the Magic Kingdom without delay."

As the son of the deceased king——Hua Tian and Zi, when all the family heads arrived, they immediately acted as the host to announce the start of the meeting. With a tacit understanding, he closed his eyes and looked at "the culprit who was supposed to have a meeting that day, but continued to procrastinate".

The head of the Feng family had just finished speaking, and then he interrupted the topic he was going to enter as if he remembered something, and turned to the head of the Huo family with a smile that made it impossible to see what kind of emotion he was carrying.

"Hearing about the former head of the Huo family, it's really a pity that your father retired to the front line. This is a huge loss for our Magic Kingdom."

Obviously, it should be a basic etiquette speech full of bureaucracy, but the face of the "current head of the Huo family" suddenly distorted, and the fingertips of his hands crossed on his chest immediately clenched into fists, and he gritted his teeth resentfully, as if to kill the head of the Feng family. It's the same as being eaten.

"Yes, thanks to the concern of the head of the Feng family, the Huo family has also responded in a timely manner, allowing the former head of the Huo family to rest at home, and recommending Fenshwayatli, who is very good in our family, to be the head of the Huo family. "

The person who responded to Hua was not Fen with a distorted face, but a servant standing next to Fen, wearing a black and white staggered maid costume.

"That's great, we're all very happy about the importance of the Fire Family."

"Thank you, the head of the Feng family, for your concern. In addition, please allow me to apologize first. I am only a servant, and I have applied for admission to the highest hall of this magic kingdom without authorization."

Facing this servant who bowed deeply, the heads of the Bing and Lei clans did not react at all, and remained silent with their eyes closed. Only the heads of the Feng clan showed their magnanimity and nodded vigorously.

"I don't mind taking the position of the Feng family. After all, the head of the Huo family has just taken office not long ago. In the past few days, I believe that apart from the resistance of many civilians who took the opportunity and the matters related to the former head of the Huo family, there is also Miss Fen's promotion to the Huo family. Is it a long thing? I believe that these alone are enough to make you tired, and besides, the head of the Huo family is still a newcomer, so I am naturally willing to understand as a newcomer."

"The Ice Family has no objections."

Yan, who spoke for the first time, said only a few short words, then closed his eyes again.

It's not so much an act of valuing it as an act of excessive contempt.

"Since the heads of the two families have no objections, I hold the same idea, but I hope there will be no next time, unless you, the head of the Huo family, are willing to let this servant be the so-called deputy head of the family."

The first half of what the head of the Lei family said seemed very natural and modest, just like the usual god, but the second half of the words obviously had a different style, more aggressive and oppressive than before.

God's bright red eyes seemed to confirm this provocative provocation. He first looked at Fen, the head of the Huo family, and then at the head of the Feng family who kept a mysterious smile.

It was a direct and threatening aura without bureaucratic etiquette at all.

It is completely different from the calm and cooperative attitude of the past.

Regarding the transformation of the gods, Hua, the culprit, kept smiling as if he didn't realize it.

No one dared to communicate directly with God, even Fen who was nervous and angry in his head. The irresistible oppression of God left a deep impression on all young people.

For Fen, he has a strong impression, because the relationship between the Huo and Lei families was very good in the past few years, so they would communicate frequently. The engagement of the young representative made the relationship between Huo and Lei's family become unfamiliar, but even so, Fen still knew how terrifying the desperate power of God was.

"Hehe, head of the Lei family, your words are really reasonable."

Only the head of the Feng family still wore an invisible smile, lightly conveying the tense atmosphere that seemed to be broken at any time.

"Since everyone has no opinions, let's go to the first topic. First of all, it is a pity that no magician won this battle for the king's position. This is a completely unexpected result for all of us. , we can choose to continue to snatch the black sword, but it is impossible for the country to be without a king for a long time, and this will only cause panic among the people.”

"I don't know what the head of the Feng family thinks?"

The maid standing next to Fen immediately took the initiative to ask, and at the same time gently stroked Fen's back with her hand under the table, hoping to calm her down a little.

In fact, the reason why he felt angry when he first came in was not pure nervousness. Before entering this meeting, the maid had already reported to Fen the speculation of "the contents and results of this planned meeting".

It was also for this reason that Fen seemed very angry from the very beginning.

"Recently, the leader's son of the Kingdom of Swords has taken over the position of leader, but the excellent Magic Kingdom speaks purely based on strength. As far as the most powerful people are concerned, I believe the head of the Ice Family and the Lei Family."

"Wait, let's forget about the head of the Lei family, why is there Yan...the head of the Bing family?"

Originally, Fen, who was just putting on a bad face, heard that the head of the Bing family was nominated, and immediately asked questions full of anger. Even though the maid next to her stretched out her hand and twisted Fen's skin hard enough to make her shut up in pain, the words had clearly passed through In the ears of the other three family heads.

"You, are you qualified?"

Those azure blue eyes slowly opened, and the cold and brief words had no intention of avoiding or covering up, and the naked provocation was just thrown away in the meeting, without any intention of burning any sympathy.

"You... woo!"

Just as Fen was about to jump up to refute, the maid next to her pinched the skin with her index finger and thumb even harder, making Fen unable to even speak.

"Here, I would like to apologize to everyone for being unreasonable on behalf of the Fire Family."

The maid bowed her head deeply, this reaction made Yan Jingjing close her eyes again.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. The purpose of the meeting is to share our thoughts with each other. I think there is nothing wrong with talking about the head of the Huo family. In addition, I will nominate the head of the Ice family because of her strength. There are very few records of fierce resistance among civilians, and I think the governance policy is also very applicable to Fayahana in our magical country.”

After a pause, those green eyes seemed to have a sticky and weird smile on his face, and he continued.

"Only other than that, I also recommend Nian next to me, she has enough strength to take this position."

When the third nominee spoke from the mouth of the head of the Feng family, the other two heads of the family who had closed their eyes opened their eyes one after another, looking straight at the smile of the head of the Feng family with a fake mask.

But before the heads of the Bing and Lei families could speak, someone spoke first.

"She only has one child, right? Feng Family Head, are you kidding me?"

Thinking of this question in his heart, he blurted it out, and Fen's appearance of being completely ignorant of the situation created a funny atmosphere of "there is an idiot" in the atmosphere.

"You just became the head of the family recently. I believe that there are too many busy things these days, so it's no wonder that you don't know about it. Then let me introduce here. This is the deputy head of our Feng family. He is good at magic. Attributes."

"Special attribute? A special attribute in the wind attribute? Is it good at the metamorphic wind wall?"

"Hehe, the speculation of the head of the Huo family is really interesting. No, it was my mistake. I didn't inform you of the complete information. The magic she is good at is destroying magic."

Hearing this sentence, the head of the Huo Clan's eyes widened in astonishment. Although he really wanted to ask "Are you kidding me?", the maid next to him had a solemn expression and was ready to pinch his skin at any time. Make Fen forcefully close his mouth and remain silent.

"If there is an opportunity, I will let the head of the Huo family appreciate it with his own eyes, so let's get back to the topic. Do you have any other candidates for the three candidates I nominated?"

As the words of the head of the Feng family spread throughout the white space, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet without any conversation, and the soft breathing became the only voice present.

Even the head of the Huo family did not recklessly nominate himself, and this was what the maid beside him had been emphasizing before.

It is absolutely forbidden to nominate yourself as a candidate for the king without authorization.

Now the fall of the former head of the Huo family, the most direct impact is the worries of the people below and the ambition of many collateral magicians to strive for status, and the related impact is the resistance of the people under the vast territory.

There were problems with taxation, food, willingness of magicians to participate, and so on. Among them, the series of problems were money. Starting with the failure of the former head of the Huo family to perform family responsibilities smoothly, the daily tribute to the family began to decrease.

If you want to win the position of king with a higher position, you must spend money. Whether it is the struggle or cultivation of magicians, you will spend a lot of money. Putting your family's finances in crisis, the worst thing is that even collateral magicians will follow and rebel against the people.

In this way, the tens or hundreds of years of history and glory of the Huo Family will truly come to an end.

Fen is also very aware of this, and because of this, Fen is even more unable to let go, on the contrary, his heart is full of resentment.

If the father is still there, the ambition of the collateral magician, and the financial situation, none of these could exist.

If the father is still there, the king's seat can be obtained at any time.

But all this changed because of the fall of his father.

"Has no one proposed yet? Then, for the time being, please use these three as candidates, and discuss the results this time. The next parliament will let us elect a king that everyone agrees with. After all, a reasonable and human The object of respect is the core of our magical country, just like our capital, Fayahana, which consists of four families occupying a place and forming a city, which symbolizes cooperation and peace."

Full of glorious and disgusting words, the head of the Feng family suddenly stopped, and his green eyes looked at the head of the Huo family without any cover.

The heads of the Bing and Lei families next door seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all opened their eyes to look at the head of the Huo family.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Fen.

The atmosphere changed subtly again.

"Head of the Fire Clan, I wonder if you agree with what I said?"

"agree."

Strongly feeling this strange feeling of "being stared at by a group of wild beasts", Fen held his head tightly under the table, and nodded vigorously with veins on his forehead.

"Hehe, in fact, I have some news about the situation of your family. It seems that many commoners and collateral magicians have started to be restless recently?"

Not even planning to speak, Fen could only nod in resignation.

"Since there is such a crisis, I hope that all of us can help the Fire Family, just like our spiritual core, the principle of helping each other."

At this moment, Fen finally understood that these three sights were not just the sights of a simple beast, but a demon who planned to devour his fat flesh completely—just like what the maid beside him kept reminding and worrying about.

"yes?"

"I heard that the former head of the Huo family fell ill, and the first pillar fell on your brother. It's just a pity that he died in battle. It's a pity for everyone present."

It was the words that felt sorry for Fen's brother, but they sounded very harsh and disturbing to Fen's ears. He couldn't suppress the anger that twisted his face, and Fen lowered his head deeply to avoid being seen by other family heads.

Ignoring this appearance, Hua continued to speak with a smile on her face.

"The responsibility falls on you all of a sudden. We also look forward to and believe in you. Therefore, we hope to lighten the burden on the Huo family a little, so that the Huo family can solve this predicament smoothly."

"I am willing to listen to the specific explanation of the head of the Feng family."

It wasn't Fen who responded, but the expressionless maid.

"Since this excellent minister who assists the head of the Fire Clan has said so, please allow me to be a little unreasonable and straightforward. I hope to get the legalization of Feng Clan magicians to enter the Fire Clan territory, so that we can quickly replace you To eliminate disputes in a part of the territory, it is natural to start with the territory of the Fire Family that is closest to our Feng Family."

"The Ice Clan also hopes to get permission from the head of the Fire Clan to let ice-attribute magician troops enter the Fire Clan's territory to resolve the resistance."

"The Lei family also hopes so."

In less than five seconds, the Huo Family, which owns the largest territory in the Magic Kingdom, had its vast borderlands divided up in an instant.

"This, this still needs to be communicated with the local agent, especially the three territories that are in contact with the three nobles. We still need time."

Although the Huo family's income is reduced by about 5.00% in taxation at most for those marginal territories that are difficult to control and whose boundaries are blurred with other families, the real problem lies in what the three family heads said.

The legalization of magician troops entering the territory of the Fire Family.

Although it sounds like a good intention to help and hope to reduce obstacles, it is actually an undisguised and naked snatch.

If this precedent is set, those managed in the territory will inevitably be implicated and fall, and even start to defect.

This is a situation that the Huo family absolutely does not want to see, but it is also a problem that cannot be avoided.

Whether it's economy, strength or reputation, when these are basically in a downturn, it is impossible for other families to let go of this delicious piece of fat.

"Naturally, there will be no problem with the timing. In fact, in order to help the Huo family in time, we have already drawn up a contract. The only thing missing is the seal and signature of the head of the Huo family."

A white sheet of paper emerged from the cuff of the Feng family, covered with a lot of text, and at the beginning of the top there were logo pictures of the representatives of the Feng family and the Huo family.

"The Ice Family also hopes to help quickly."

"The Ray family thinks there is a need to reduce time to resolve disputes."

Papers of the same size also appeared in the hands of the other two family heads. The papers of the Ice Family also had pictures and texts of the representatives of the Ice Family and the Fire Family at the beginning, and the same was true for the Lei Family.

The three contracts were handed over to Fen at the same time.

He obviously wanted to march, and he didn't even intend to give him a little time to think about it. These three contracts for sending to the border and selling the territory were printed in Fen's eyes as if forced.

Slowly opening his hands, tremblingly and painfully grabbing a corner of the paper, staring at the content of the paper with eyes that were about to become resentful and intertwined with sadness.

The maid on the side also quickly leaned over to look at the content inside, but turned her gaze away after finishing the first part.

Even if you don't need to read it, you can clearly understand the "robbing content" expressed in these three almost identical contracts.

At this moment, the maid vaguely understood why there had been no protests from the three newcomers as family heads.

Wind, ice, and thunder, the new generation of young family heads are like experienced wild beasts, rushing straight up, without any hesitation or mercy, ready to devour the Huo family of Fat Sheep do.

"We'll take it."

I didn't finish reading the content of the paper, and in fact there was no need to read it, because up to [-]% of it was Gao Song helping each other and the Huo family, etc., which was an out-and-out condition full of disgusting hypocrisy.

Sadly the Fire Family doesn't have the strength and the right to speak to be able to struggle.

As a direct member of the Huo family, the territory is really too big at the moment, and the surrounding chaos has always been difficult to deal with. It is naturally a good thing that someone can help at this time.

It's just that those who are willing to help are all a pack of wild wolves, and each of them lends a helping hand with different purposes.

"I am the head of the Fire Clan, why do I just answer... woo!"

Fen, who was about to scream, was covered by the maid beside him with his hand, and glared at the maid angrily, but only shook his head feebly.

"Head of the Huo family, we are currently at a disadvantage and have no bargaining chips, so we can only accept the conditions for mutual assistance."

This is what really scares the maid.

Mutual aid, to help the resistance momentum of the Fire Family's frontier territory, these three family heads either opened their mouths about the main tax collection territory of the Fire Family, but came to "help" from the frontier.

Doing so will not only gain the good reputation of "helping the Fire Family", but will also not be labeled as "existent ambition", which will be relatively more advantageous for every future policy.

In other words, this meeting is just the beginning, and what the three family heads really want is rich fruits in the future.

"What do you mean you can only accept? We are the fearsome Fire Family, the largest leader in the Magic Kingdom... woohoo!"

"...Since the Fire Family has no objection to this contract, please allow us to carry out the next cooperation."

Before Fen finished complaining, it should be said that he didn't even bother to pay attention to what Fen had to say, Hua took out a contract with two great nobles and handed it to Fen.

"What is this? Could it be that you are so eager to take out the next document before you finish reading the last one... Woohoo!"

"Since we are a cooperative relationship, and we are willing to mediate, can you provide us with supplies so that we can deal with the rebels without worry?"

"How could it be possible to get it out, we don't have much food!"

The words that Fen subconsciously blurted out did not make Hua's smile disappear because of this, and it seemed that the answer had been expected in those squinted green eyes.

"Please don't worry about this. Considering this issue, we are willing to use our own manpower to plant and cultivate. All we need is to temporarily borrow a little fertile land. Of course, we need a safe territory for our nobles. For a bright future, please implement a good cooperative relationship with us.”

For a moment, that smile gave Fen and the maid of the Huo family a sense of gloom that made it difficult to confront each other head-on.

It was an expression that wanted to devour them completely.

"The Ice Family hopes so too."

"The Lei family hopes to get help from some civilians."

In the blink of an eye, several heavyweight contracts had piled up in front of Fen.

"Well, how is this..."

Fen really wanted to throw these directly to the maid and escape from this space where he would almost strangle himself to death, but the seat under his buttocks seemed to have some kind of adhesive added to make Fen Dong unable to move, and his bright red eyes I can only helplessly look at these densely packed documents.

"Family head...please sign it."

Although the maid on the side tried her best to put the contents of these documents into her mind, she couldn't help frowning and sweating as long as she thought of the aftermath.

"What are you doing... These documents... If Father is still here... These will never appear at all. If Father is still here, it is impossible for you people to be so arrogant..."

Looking at the two family heads who closed their eyes with a calm face, and the head of the Feng family with a fake smile that seemed to penetrate everything, Fen immediately felt what the emotion that made him unable to move was——continuously eroding himself Physical helplessness.

This meeting is not a family meeting, but a blatant execution and exploitation of the Huo family.
