"This is the meeting hall of the Presbyterian Church?"
Looking at the tall building in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yifu glanced at him strangely.
"It's not your first time here, so you don't need to dress so strange, right?"
Mantes on the side also interjected.
"That's right. When father was still here, he brought you here at every turn. Have you forgotten?"
Li Yi knew what was going on. Jace's memory was not completely instilled in him. All he got were some remaining memory fragments.
I don't know if it's because Jace died too completely.
Or is he not dead at all, just in a coma?
And he still remembers that if the identity of the NPC is discovered, things will become very bad, and the game system may pay attention to it at any time.
By that time, neither he nor Curtis would be doomed.
"Oh, I couldn't sleep at night because of my father's affairs. I was under too much mental pressure and my consciousness was blurred. It's normal for me to be unable to remember some trivial matters."
Li Yi said with an indifferent expression, making all the brothers roll their eyes.
Good guy, if your expression is more sincere, I can barely believe it.
But you don’t even believe it when you say it with that expression on your face!
"Okay, this isn't important, is it? Go in first."
The eldest brother Sudi immediately came out to smooth things over.
The brothers didn't say anything more. They just thought that Lao Liu, who had returned from his travels, had become mature and knew what to say and what not to say.
This is a large house, or courtyard.
The place where several people were standing before was actually only the highest outer space of the courtyard.
Huge statues of guardian beasts sit on both sides of the courtyard gate, seemingly guarding the supreme glory of the Surota family.
It was a pair of gryphons.
I heard that when the first generation of the Surota family first arrived at the continent of Flotte (it was not yet called this name in the world, because after the first batch of adventurers logged in, this continent actually had no name, so it became the third unknown continent. Or the Unnamed Island No. 178. It can be seen from this that this group of adventurous adventurers had already recorded many voyages before the discovery of Flotte continent), and this place was still a barren land.
The original Maple Leaf County was actually a low hillside with rugged rocks, where a large number of unique creatures from the mainland lived - griffons.
I don’t know what method the first-generation head of the Sulota family (who was only a captain in this group of adventurers) used to not only successfully tame these ferocious griffins (gryphons eat meat) , do you think he would mind human flesh?), and with the help of the griffin group, he established the initial industrial accumulation of the Sulota family.
It is also commonly known as the first pot of gold - taming and raising mounts.
Yes, you heard it right. In the final analysis, the Sulota family was responsible for raising mounts for the "conquerors" of the Flotte Continent.
When he first heard this, Li Yi immediately remembered the story of the former horse breeder's counterattack.
I don’t know if Curtis had any reference to this story when designing this copy.
It didn't take much time to get from the door to the courtyard hall, but to be honest, the scenery in the courtyard was still beautiful.
Even a person like Li Yi, who doesn't know how to appreciate beautiful scenery and can't describe it, can't help but feel relaxed and happy after watching this scene.
As a landmark building that plays an important role in Maple Leaf County, it has almost all the supporting facilities you can imagine.
In recent years, many leisure and entertainment venues have been added.
It's not that status gets better and treatment gets better.
But the previous head of the family, Count Dante, believed that the Presbyterian Church = the Elderly Church.
It was added to highlight this feature.
But he didn't think about those people who he thought would die forever and planned to "retire" once they were old? After all the members died, this bloated and eyesore organization was abolished.
Count Dante probably wouldn't have thought of it.
I will be one step ahead of these elderly people.
Otherwise, he would have left some room.
But now, it is these six brothers who are bearing the fruit of the cause he planted back then.
When they walked into the hall, they didn't find anyone there. Only a servant who looked very old was standing guard there. He left after seeing the person coming.
After a while, a group of people with sophisticated and inquiring eyes filed out of the inner hall, and the hall was quickly filled.
There are approximately one hundred people in the Presbyterian Church, but most of them are just superficial and have neither real power nor any practical ability.
Just as Count Dante, the father of the six brothers, said.
The so-called Presbyterian Church is actually not much different from the Pension Council, because there are only a few people in it who can really influence the decisions of the Surota family.
These people are also members of the family council, although they are the more senior and older group of people in the council.
But in the Presbyterian Church, they are the youngest ones.
For example, among the crowd, the one standing in the middle is relatively young compared to the others.
But he became a central figure in the Presbyterian Church.
It is the third elder of the Presbyterian Church, Luis Slo Zulota, who is forty-two years old and the youngest in the Presbyterian Church.
Just a little comparison and you can feel how young they are.
Before Louis entered the Presbyterian Church, the average age of the 100 members of the Presbyterian Church was seventy-two.
After Lewis joined, the average age dropped directly by 0.3 percentage points.
Don’t underestimate this number. This is absolutely unique given the average age trend that is rising year by year.
Of course, it is also because Louis was the chief speaker of the family council before I entered the Presbyterian Church.
You must know that the council used to have great power.
For example, when Dante succeeded to the throne, he had a huge quarrel with the Council and was suppressed for a time.
It was not until later that as Dante's position gradually became more stable, this conflict gradually became less suspenseful.
And Dante used this excuse to wipe out the Council and the Council of Elders in one fell swoop.
In particular, the once powerful family council has now become a place for idle personnel to work temporarily.
It's the kind of pure fish organization that doesn't do big things and doesn't do small things.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Louis would rather resign from the position of Grand Speaker and leave the Council to join the Presbyterian Council.
The current situation, with the sudden death of Dante, has revealed some subtle changes.
The Zulota family seems to have never had such a precedent.
First, both the Council and the Council of Elders were suppressed to the point of suffocation, while the head of the family held all the power.
However, just when this trend seemed to be developing without any suspense, and the final result was likely to be that the Council and the Presbyterian Church would both cease to exist in history, the originally powerful head of the family suddenly passed away.
To be honest, when the news first came out, both the family council and the Presbyterian Council conducted a thorough self-examination.
Because even they themselves doubted whether it was the irrational behavior of some insiders who were forced to do anything but jump over the wall.
However, after some investigation, it was found that there was no such thing.
The people from the two major organizations suddenly felt confident.
And soon some people saw hope for a resurgence.
According to reliable information, Count Dante did not leave any will before his death, and he did not even choose an heir.
And his sons are still young and obviously do not have the deep connections and power of old Dante.
Well, the most important thing is, I heard that even those sons are not very harmonious among themselves.
After all, no heir has been chosen, so it is normal for them to cause trouble.
But now Louis saw all six people present.
This made him murmur.
Didn't it mean that they were going to be in trouble for a while?
It's impossible to reach an agreement so quickly, right?
"Ahem, you know what you are here to do this time, right?"
Louis was moved and decided to test it first.
"Finalize the position of the head of the family."
The one who spoke was the young man who looked the most mature and serious. He should be the eldest brother among the six, right?
It seems to be called Su Di?
Hmm... If it were him, it would seem a little difficult to handle, but I heard that he was already serving in the military and was developing quite well, so it probably wouldn't be him.
Louis made a judgment while analyzing and filtering the information he had learned in advance.
"Now that you know it, let's get started."
After saying this, Lewis was ready to leave first.
Obviously he did not think that any of the six people had the qualifications and ability to fight against the Presbyterian Church.
They are not their father!
However, the next second, a boy who looked to be the youngest opened his mouth, but he was stunned for three seconds without any response.
"Start with what? Did you make a mistake?"
"The head of the family has been chosen. I am here just to inform you!"
