Garr took out the list he had prepared in advance, including all the children and slaves that the vassal families had given to David Duran as bodyguards and attendants over the years - all the existing ones were on the list, and they had died or had been promoted or Those who changed their status and affiliation due to rewards and other reasons are also noted one by one. The total number is close to 200,000, which is the bulk of the inheritance. -乐-文-小-说-[Fast update&nbp;&nbp;Please search]
Secondly, there are several rights and interests belonging to the sect as a whole, such as lanthanum crystal quotas, unallocated territories currently under the control of the Guards or Family Security Forces, and seats at various levels of positions in the Superpower Association and Temple, as well as secular organizations such as the United Nations. Proportions, the political ownership rights of some sensitive areas, the share of the Galaxy's primary trade market, black ship routes, subspace pain channels, and even space jump points, etc. Although these rights and interests will inevitably undergo major changes with the death of David Duran, they are still an extremely important part of the inheritance. They are the fat that everyone will covet, so they are listed solemnly.
As for other treasures, land, manor, population, private collections and other properties, even the part donated by vassals, are all owned by the Duran family and their secular heirs as usual, so they do not need to appear on the list.
The complete list was notarized by the red priest present as usual, and then announced to every family vassal present. Gu Hanhan looked around at everyone, brewing some emotions, and then said: "All of David's inheritance is here, but I am here today to discuss David's funeral with you. After the funeral, whether to stay or go , let you do as you please. I promise you by the oath of the starry sky that I will never violate the inheritance distribution rules established in the "Sacred Code" and cause you to suffer losses."
There was a moment of silence. On the big issue of whether the sect was disbanded or not, the lower-level vassals always had no room to speak, and the upper-level vassals of the Acropolis nobles would not easily express their stance at the beginning. First, one or two people were expected to return. It is common practice for a great nobleman to come forward on behalf of everyone.
The silence didn't last long. The patriarch of the Bernard family, Philip's father, His Excellency Theodore, stood up first. In the sect's vassal system, the Bernard family was not originally the first-class, but because In the confessional sacrifice that had just been carried out not long ago, all the extremely powerful first-class nobles in the clan were purged by David, and their vitality was severely damaged. They were all members of the Thornbranch family, and miraculously they were able to survive all the internal fights within the family. Bernard was able to stand out from the crowd and became the representative of the great nobility in one fell swoop.
This Lord Theodore is a middle-aged man who is slightly stout but not completely out of shape. He still has the charming charm of his youth in his appearance, and he is extremely kind-hearted. He stood up on behalf of all the vassals, first sighed, and then said to Gu Hanhan: "Madam's moral character is admirable, but such an unfortunate thing happened that none of us expected. Let's hold a funeral like this. After the master's soul returned to the sea of stars, he immediately distributed the master's inheritance and separated each other. We really can't bear it and are unwilling. If possible, we would of course prefer to unite as one and continue to maintain the unity of the sect instead of watching him die. But the sect The maintenance and continuation of the family must be protected by a powerful suzerain, and the Dulan family does not seem to have a suitable candidate at the moment. I also hope that Madam can understand and consider this."
"Yes!" Many lower-level vassals took this opportunity to clamor, expressing that they wanted to stay in the family and continue to serve the Dulan family. However, as the master's blood relatives, the Dulan family really had no one who was worthy of being their master. .
Gu Hanhan nodded: "I can understand your feelings. After all, a ruler is long and an inch is short. When fingers are separated, they will wither, but together they are the strength. Since you have an undivided inheritance, leave it and continue to maintain it. Naturally, I should follow the wishes of the clan power. Although I am the widow of David and nominally the inheritor of the legal system, I have little talent and limited knowledge, and I cannot convince others with my moral integrity. I absolutely do not have the courage and strength to lead you to make progress. For the sake of welfare, to carry forward the sect and strengthen its strength. Now it is just a last resort for Tian to occupy the central position. After David's funeral, it is natural for him to become a monk and go into seclusion. You should rest assured. As for who should be the leader of the sect in the future, what do you think? Might as well bring it up now."
She smiled and said: "There is no doubt that only those who are publicly recommended and unanimously supported by the vassals can become the suzerain. There has never been any code that stipulates that the suzerain must come from the Dulan family. You are all Qiancheng who the king relies on before. They are all qualified to succeed David. We do not shy away from relatives or enemies when it comes to internal promotions, and it is okay to self-recommend. No matter who it is, as long as it is publicly recommended and recognized by everyone, I will support it to the end."
Of course, such a candidate is impossible. If there really was a candidate that all the vassals publicly recommended and unanimously supported, then the inheritance meeting would not have been arguing for so long without a decision.
"How can Madam be so perfunctory? It is even more unreasonable to retire and become a monk. This is not even allowed by the master's spirit in heaven." Patriarch Theodore pretended to be polite and said in a familiar manner, "You are the master's widow, and you are the only legal representative of the sect's legal system. Heir, this will never change! But it is also a fact that the maintenance and continuation of the sect requires strong protection. There are not no workarounds - "
He paused for a moment, looked around and received everyone's attention and support, and then continued: "According to the tradition of the aristocratic world, if you recruit a bride as the master's widow, the bride-to-be will be able to share your honor and indirectly obtain the inheritance rights of the sect. . Regarding this tradition, I wonder what Madam thinks about it?"
"Recruiting a wife..." Gu Hanhan's eyes wandered, "I'm considering remarrying before David's body is cold. Isn't that good?"
"It's nothing. My wife has been a widow for a long time, and the master's spirit in heaven is really uneasy." Patriarch Theodore said nonchalantly, "Only when a suitable bride-in-law can accompany the master on his behalf, and the master's soul returns to the sea of stars, can we truly rest in peace."
Gu Hanhan pretended to hesitate and cooperated, then sighed and said: "Well, since it is for the future of the family, it is natural for me to make sacrifices, but what kind of person can be worthy of this?" Where are the bride-to-be who meet the status?"
This was what Patriarch Theodore had been waiting for. This time, he did not wait for anyone else to respond. He immediately said: "A master must at least be a potential person who is favored by the God of the Universe. A person who is qualified to inherit the family's title of sect leader and is worthy of your status will not bring shame to the master's spirit in heaven."
Does this mean that when a widow remarries, the person she remarries can never have a lower status than her ex-husband?
This line! Gu Hanhan couldn't help laughing - it turns out that black widow is the most promising profession in the galaxy!
So she said shamelessly: "Sir, although I can try to make friends and fall in love, I probably can't hope to get married. As for the potential person, I do have a potential boyfriend. He was with me just now Mr. Anthony, who came here with me, what do you think of him, is he worthy of me?"
Of course, she is so worthy. If you, Acropolis Mistress, hadn’t got a marriage contract that I don’t know is true or false, I would have more than a hundred for you!
No matter what they think in their hearts, the vassals all express their support, thinking that they are a match made in heaven, and it is simply unreasonable for them not to get married!
Although he was just acting on occasion, Gu Hanhan was very satisfied with what he heard. He was so addicted that he was a sinister and evil man who insisted on not falling in love with his sister. Hearing the voice of the people, the people said that he was born with you. A pair!
So, Gu Hanhan said happily: "Since everyone thinks Anthony is a good match for me, I won't refuse. Let me ask Anthony if he is willing to marry me."
Gu Hanhan doesn't care about being shameless, and the more people there are, the more he dares to be shameless. Therefore, she opened the ring on the spot, contacted Anthony on the spot, and proposed to him on the spot.
It was such a great feeling to say "Anthony, will you marry me?" in front of thousands of people.
The other party in the communication, Anthony, was silent. At this moment, the door of the conference room separated on both sides, and a wave of energy swept in, sweeping away endlessly. The vast water spread out, overwhelming everyone in the blink of an eye. The energy field from Anthony was like the bright sun in the sky, covering all directions. The energy in the field rushed towards Gu Hanhan like a stormy wave crashing on the shore. Then he touched Gu Hanhan's lips lightly and stopped abruptly.
Even though Gu Hanhan was a shameless old man, he blushed on the spot when Anthony scratched his lips with energy, and was embarrassed and speechless.
There were countless high-level superpowers present. Everyone was discerning, so naturally they all saw clearly, so they all shouted: "Your Excellency, you agree."
Patriarch Theodore waited until everyone had made enough noise before he stood up again and said with a smile: "Congratulations, madam. It's a happy marriage for a century. If the engagement ceremony is on the day after the funeral, preparations need to start now. Talk to the funeral committee At the same time, we set up a wedding planning committee together, what do you think?"
Gu Hanhan was so confused by Anthony's kiss just now that she was still thinking about it, and her brain simply couldn't move enough. It took him a while to realize what Patriarch Theodore said, and he was immediately startled: "On the day of the funeral! How can this be done? It's too hasty!"
, this is the rhythm of asking my sister to take off her mourning clothes and immediately put on her wedding dress. Sing a dirge over there, and play joy over here, and play together on both sides. You are really not afraid of David crawling out of the coffin!
Patriarch Theodore didn't take it seriously at Gu Hanhan's hasty words. He just pretended that he didn't hear anything and continued to ask with a smile: "So what do you mean, madam, when is the appropriate time to hold the engagement ceremony?"
Gu Hanhan thought about it in his mind. It was estimated that in two or three years, Anthony would end his undercover career, throw away his potential vest, and become himself again. By then, these nobles would not have the guts to come and force him. To fulfill the engagement, he said categorically: "Three years, at least three years until David's mourning period is over before I can remarry. Otherwise, he will crawl out of the coffin to find me at night. If you are not afraid of me, you should be afraid."
This time, the great nobles in the Acropolis were not satisfied - three years, haha.
