Hebrews excused himself and went to deal with the matter of the penitent family.
The window on one side of the living room faces the stone square, and you can see the scene there when you stand by the window. Gu Hanhan grabbed the curtain and soon saw a whole team of family guards, surrounded by an attendant, coming to the penitent people. The attendant announced something, and then all the penitents were lifted up and dragged up the steps of the hall. Gu Hanhan vaguely saw them kneeling on the steps of the memorial hall surrounded by guards, taking the slender dagger and stabbing it into his body. There was blood splashing in the haze, and their bodies fell down the steps. They were caught by the guards, and then put into the sleep box and carried away.
"This is nothing to see," David walked to Gu Hanhan and gently held her shoulders, "it's just a necessary ritual."
The door to the living room opened and Hebrews returned. Behind him were more than a dozen attendants. Each attendant wore white gloves and held a crystal bottle on his chest. Inside the walls of the crystal clear crystal bottle were bright red hearts - they were still alive, beating "thumping" one by one.
"Heart! That's the heart!" Gu Hanhan's scalp exploded and he pointed at the crystal bottles and said in a voiceless voice, "They dug out their hearts!"
"Don't be afraid, Hanhan, they just use this ritual to prove that they are still loyal. Of course it is very stupid, but you can still live if you pretend to be back. The ritual is just a ritual." David hugged Gu Hanhan and used the energy field to comfort him. Then he waved his hand, and the attendants all held the crystal bottles and retreated.
"Put it back..." Gu Hanhan wiped his forehead, "This is indeed too stupid and barbaric."
Hebra reported the results of the treatment to David, while Gu Hanhan sat in the corner of the sofa and asked Gal secretly: "Are you really going to pretend to go back?"
"That's not entirely true," Gal whispered. "If the owner wants to keep any of them, or send them for sacrifice, of course there is no way to put them back."
"But it doesn't make any difference. Anyway, even if their hearts are given back by their master, these people can no longer be the heads of the vassal families and must go into seclusion." Gal said.
This was indeed the case. Gu Hanhan turned around and Hebrew happened to be talking about the replacement of these family patriarchs.
"They have been ordered to leave the Acropolis immediately and live in seclusion in the monastery in the family territory," he reported. "The new patriarch, as your most pious slave, will formally come to salute you after accepting the clan emblem."
After hearing this, David asked: "Who is the new patriarch of the Petroni family?"
This means to specify it personally.
Hebrews immediately ordered someone to send the full genealogy of the Petroni family. In a superpower family, the patriarch rarely interferes in the internal affairs of the vassal family and the succession of heirs, but once he plans to appoint someone, he cannot be disobeyed.
Petroni is a thorn branch family with a long history. The huge family tree has many branches, many branches, and extremely lush leaf crowns. Each branch has many veins representing family members hanging down, and it has the potential of super powers. Members will be rimmed in gold, while those who have been donated as vassals are painted red. It’s so messy and dazzling that there are no less than a thousand people who are qualified to inherit the family just because they have both blood and superpower potential. David fiddled with the branches and turned the family tree several times, then casually pointed to a slender veined leaf among the branches: "That's it."
"Yes." Hebrews replied respectfully, and then took the family tree of the Petroni family into his hand. He discovered that the successor personally designated by the master was a member of a branch of the Petroni family. His bloodline was seven or eight generations away. His superpower level was only level four, and he was not too young. Already forty* years old but with no advanced potential at all.
This kind of blood relationship and this level of superpowers can only be regarded as a sideline in the huge Thornbranch family, mediocre and ordinary among the many masters and young men of the Acropolis. For a moment, Hebrew, the chief attendant, did not realize that there was something special about him that could win his master's favor and appreciation.
Gu Hanhan was listening, not interested in the drama of a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s changing dynasties and turning into a phoenix. He also thought that he had been frightened just now, so he simply threw David away. Throw it away, take Gal and run to the hot springs for a big meal to calm down the shock.
After Gu Hanhan's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Hebrew mentioned to David another potential person on the lighthouse star.
"During the time when the master and Miss Gu left, Mr. Anthony had a close relationship with the old gentleman of the Defillin family," he reported. "He frequently attended banquets of the Defillin and other families. He was very knowledgeable about the affairs of various families and countries. Quyi is willing to make friends with anyone. He should soon accept family vassals and start his own family, or simply use the name of an existing noble family."
"Family name?" David held the coffee cup and couldn't help frowning, "Do you mean marriage?"
"Yes, Master." Hebrew bowed slightly and said, "After losing the duel at the Golden Banquet, your Excellency did not have a regular female companion, so it was quite inconvenient to enter and leave the banquet, so he treated some ladies from the Acropolis family quite a bit. Much attention was paid to him. Therefore, several families took the opportunity to offer their daughters to him. Although he did not accept it, he did not refuse it strictly. It is said that Master Rhine had secretly met with him, and the old gentleman of the Defelin family had intended to set up a match. He and his little granddaughter have confirmed their engagement, and Lord Rhine's sister, Miss Anne, seems to be quite fond of him, so she can't decide yet. But in any case, that Excellency is deeply involved in the Posian Restoration Alliance and is already very involved. It’s hard to escape. If you want to take action and successfully join the world to achieve a breakthrough, you must have strong support, and it is inevitable that you will fall to the Dark Temple.”
David slowly drank the coffee and was silent for a while, and then ordered: "Keep these things from Hanhan for now."
"Yes," Hebrew responded, and then asked, "The child adopted by Miss Gu is still staying at her residence in Xinghua Lane. Are we going to send someone to take him back now?"
David said "Hmm" and said, "Don't interfere with that child's affairs. Hanhan and I have other plans."
Hebrew couldn't help but feel surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions. He bowed and left.
At the same time, Gu Hanhan also drove away the servants around him and secretly dialed Anthony. The "holiday" was over, and I finally returned to Lighthouse Star safely. I had to tell him quickly. By the way, I told him that I would probably have to wait a few days before returning home.
——Anthony didn’t answer the call again!
And the person who answered the call this time was not even one of the valets!
Gu Hanhan stared at the communication projection, but in the end he only saw Sasha's fat face.
"Anthony went out?" Gu Hanhan was a little confused, and then complained angrily, "Why doesn't he have a phone with him?"
Sasha thought to herself, "When did he bring a phone again?" He replied, "My lord went to the De Felin family for a banquet."
The Defelins...
Gu Hanhan's mind turned around and he remembered that the De Feiling family was the family of Sister Luo Lin's idiot fiancé. It was the family of Temple Knight Rhine.
"Why did he get in with them?"
"Because of the Zionist Alliance in Posis," Sasha replied: "Posis has been the main battlefield between the two major camps inside and outside the past twenty years. It is precisely because of the secret support of the Dark Temple that Ogra was Although it annexed Posis, it has never been able to completely conquer it, resulting in many internal dangers. This time, the extroverted camp used the assassination of the emperor to launch a massive counterattack, and the introverted camp shrank across the board. So outside of the bright battlefield, the Dark Temple and the Rhine Knights They will definitely stir up trouble in Posis, support potential people to fight for them, and launch a national restoration movement, so as to destabilize Ogra and even weaken the power of the entire outward camp. Therefore, your Excellency plans to use this trick to solve all the problems in Posis. .”
Gu Hanhan was amazed. She had just witnessed from David that the universe was turning into clouds and rain, and now she had witnessed Anthony's powerful ability to control this situation and control the whole universe at the palm of his hand. She felt that she was right. The understanding of this universe and the political ecology of the upper levels of the universe has risen to a new level.
"In other words, Anthony plans to be the leader of the Posian Zionism? And then let the Black Temple take the initiative to provide money, support, training and support for him? Finally, he is expected to destroy Ogra and destroy the stability and unity of the entire outward camp. situation?"
"It's so wicked!" She looked at the fat face on the other side of the communication with great joy, "I don't know what you think, Mr. Sasha, but I have refreshed my understanding of the word 'bastard' - every time he You can refresh me! This guy is so dark! If the God of the Universe really has a spirit, why hasn’t he been confiscated?"
Sasha's fat face revealed a Mona Lisa-esque smile, while her heart was screaming: "Yes, he is this kind of person, with a black heart and a rotten belly - girl, you are so right!"
Gu Hanhan was still unfinished and continued: "He just infiltrated into the enemy? He's not afraid of a good cycle of heaven and falling into the hands of the black widow. They ask him to use the beauty trick——"
Sasha's face froze, showing an embarrassed look, and she said, "Actually, the Defelin family has proposed a marriage contract between the patriarch's granddaughter and the adults -"
Gu Hanhan finished his sentence and was stunned for a moment, with a smile on his face: "What did you say?"
"Also...and Miss An...Anne from the Defelin family, she also seems to love...love...to fall in love with adults..."
"Miss Annie?" Gu Hanhan was furious and asked viciously, "What the hell is that?!"
"It's not a ghost," Sasha's tongue became smoother: "Miss Anne is Master Rhine's biological sister - but don't worry, Miss, the Defelin family does not dare to publicly support it, because Master Rhine simply does not allow her sister to fall in love or get engaged. ! Now everyone in the Defelin family is still busy competing in the ring!"
Play in the ring?
Gu Hanhan's mind calmed down a little, and he suppressed his bad mood and thought secretly: What is this guy Anthony doing? Did he do this on purpose? Is it balanced to play with left hook and right hook? This bastard! No wonder he lost so smoothly at the Golden Banquet. It turned out that he had planned it long ago! This bastard! Sister let him be fooled again!
