C42 Six Families

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the family head of the Truths Family slowly got off the carriage.

It was precisely one sad and one angry white-haired old man.

Every action of theirs represented the most proper etiquette and etiquette, making it impossible to find any flaws in them. Many of the nobles who were waiting on the high platform were already somewhat restrained, beginning to worry that they would do something inappropriate to anger these two old men who seemed to be in a bad mood.

Although their appearance on the stage didn't seem as magnificent as the Morgan Family's, they were not lacking in attention.

"Lord Lafite, Lord Li Wei, the two of us are the role models!"

"The Trump Family has been living for a long time!"

The flattery of the nobles would always be ever-changing. They would always be able to find the best spot to flatter the other party.

The sorrowful old man silently nodded to the nobles around him. His bitter expression caused many people to be unable to comprehend the old man's mood, but the angered old man completely ignored him. He only stared at Simma, who was not far away.

The sorrowful old man called Lafite calmly made his way through the crowd and sat down on the symmetrical seats with the clan head of the Morgan family. Looking at the empty seats below, he slightly frowned before giving a bitter nod to the two clan heads who were already a step ahead of him and sitting quietly in their seats.

The two old men nodded slightly, their faces expressionless.

Below the platform, the commoners began to stir once more.

Because of the arrival of the Matriarch's carriage, compared to the luxurious carriages unique to the various patriarchs in front of them, the frame of the Matriarch's carriage could only be described as dregs. Not only was it unadorned, but it was also abnormally simple and crude. The Murters' insignia was that of a roaring lion, which had one paw on its greatsword and the other raised high as if to grab something. The lion's eyes were inlaid with two red crystals that served as the clan leader's special symbol.

On the dais, Les leaned back slightly and whispered something to Simma, who turned to look around and saw, in a corner, that the low-key Phillies were already waiting. He smiled at old man Mark and nodded, not looking at the disgruntled Locke, then turned and whispered a few words to Les before falling silent.

Rhine did not pay any attention to the people around him, although he heard them clearly. He stood very straight, and even as he walked, he did not waver, giving off a solemn atmosphere. At a glance, one could tell that he came from a proper military background, and coupled with his identity as a true commoner, he immediately caused a favorable impression to rise among the commoners in the Wind City.

Two people got off the carriage with him. One of them was a mysterious man who was wearing a huge black cloak, and the other one was a skinny old man who was always smiling. The fourth master of the family, Randolph Lee, was following Rhine all the way to the high platform.

"Lord Rhine, you are a mighty warrior!"

"Lord Rhine is majestic and handsome!"

The fawning was like a tide, but no one brought up the issue of age. The leader of the Gaia Family, Roth, snorted in ridicule and laughed without even turning his head.

Rhine didn't pay much attention to the nobles' compliments. He nodded politely to them, signaling them to take a seat at the head of the seat of honor. He then nodded to everyone in the hall and sat there without saying a word.

They didn't have to wait long before two carriages of different characteristics came out from the entrance.

It was carved with a variety of exquisite patterns, light, light, and pleasant to look at, showing the extremely solid skills and profound artistic prowess of the car-maker. On the car-making frame, there was a coat of arms with a giant painted on it, holding up both of its hands in the air. Two tiny white crystals at the location of the giant's eyes indicated that this was a family seat that belonged to the leader of the family, the family where the current Windy City Lord resided, the Gaia family!

Only a knowledgeable person would know that this red hard wood was called Crimson Flame Wood. Although it was a low-level magic material, if one knew that the noble spellcasters of the Bear Strength Realm could only talk about two ways to buy this kind of wood, one wouldn't think that this carriage was the slightest bit related to the cheap price. The insignia on the carriage was three burning flames, and at the core of each flame was a fire attribute magic crystal. As for the current patriarch of the Beit family, the dragon and elusive lord's carriage only had one fire attribute magic crystal, which explained the situation!

The two carriages almost simultaneously stopped at the same position in front of the high platform, which fully demonstrated the skill of the driver. However, at this moment, no one would turn their gaze towards them, because the doors of the two carriages opened at the same time.

They looked at each other in silence.

The center plaza was silent.

This was a rare moment of tacit understanding between the commoners and nobles.

One of the two old men had a head of white hair, skin as wrinkled as paper that had been forcefully kneaded. His skin was dull and full of dark age spots, and his eyes were cloudy. The other person's gray hair was neatly combed. Several deep wrinkles appeared on her fair skin in an unstoppable manner. Her eyes were deep and bright, shining with a bright light of wisdom.

"Uncle Sean, how long has it been since we last met?" The younger old man was the first to leave the white frame of his carriage. He walked quickly towards the old man beside the wooden carriage. With a natural sense of intimacy in his voice, he said, "You are still the same as before."

"Hehe, I'm already too old," the man called Sean said in his hoarse voice. "But you, Hogan, are still very young. This world belongs to you."

"You praise me too much." The Gaia Family's Patriarch, Hogan, humbly smiled as he supported Elder Sean. He was as natural as a nephew, "Is Rodriguez still busy in the provincial capital? It's time to come back and pay respects to you, old one. "

"That's right, we'll be back soon," Sean said as he patted Hogan's hand.

The two of them chatted as if they were family members as they slowly walked up to the stage, and at this moment, the Patriarchs of all the families who had arrived first had already stood up and respectfully welcomed them. However, the nobles who were originally guarding the edge of the stage suddenly became mute, because many of them did not even know the old man who was supported by Gaia family head!

Ignoring the "young" nobles around them, the two old men walked directly to the seats on both sides of the center seat and sat down.

The central seat was always empty, but it was still there.

"Is your grandpa well?" Sean smiled at the Patriarch of the Tus Family who was sitting next to him.

Ralph bowed respectfully, "Your body is still alright. It's all thanks to you."

Elder Sean shook his head and said, "How can you count on me? It's your grandpa's luck."

Ralph nodded.

The old man smiled at Rhine and nodded. Rhine also saluted him respectfully with gratitude in his eyes.

Hogan, who had already sat down, smiled back at the clan leader of the Morgan clan. "Patriarch Edmond's use of the water-attribute energy has become even more skillful."

Patriarch Morgan, Edmond, bowed slightly. "I'm sorry to hear your praise, but it's just a small achievement."

Hogan waved his hand gracefully as he laughed. "At our level, it's a good thing that we can get what we want. We can't ask for too much," Hogan said as he looked at the Gaia clan leader, who was sitting on the other side of Edmond.

Leschuder chuckled without the slightest hint of embarrassment. "I've been a bit presumptuous while I still have some energy. Sorry to embarrass you."

"It's good to be young," Hogan said as he tapped the armrest with his finger. "It's good to be young and still struggle for the next few years."

Edmund and Les both nodded.

"Then we are all here," Old Man Shawn looked at Hogan and said, "It's rare for all of us to gather here."

"That's right," Hogan replied with a smile. "It wasn't easy for us old fellows to get together in a battle between kids, so let's begin."

After a short period of silence, Leschuder did not want Hogan to say anything, "Originally, it was the genius of the Beetle Family, Feyas, and the genius of the Moutes Family, Cohen, who was fighting with Daley of the Philip Family. However, I heard that Cohen of the Moutts family seemed to have disappeared a while ago, what did the Rhine Family say?"

After a long silence, Rhine said, "It's just a rumor."

There was a slight commotion, and a few hidden gazes swept over to Fei Li's family in the corner. The astonished expression on Loke's face disappeared in a flash, but it was still caught by many people who wanted to take note of it.

I heard that in the Moutes' fiefdom, Fort Aitt in Naukika was attacked by a beast tide and suffered heavy losses?" After a moment of silence, the chief of the Loughs' family opened his mouth and pushed the Mutters into a new awkward position, attracting a meaningful glance from old man Shawn and Hogan.

"It was caused by a group of bandits secretly driving them away, although there were some losses, the left and right sides are just gold coins, so it's not that big of a deal," Rhine paused for a second, then added, "However, because the location of the castle is too close to the Mist Mountain Range, it's easy for the bandits to use it. Nauka will probably be sealed for a period of time, so whether we should continue opening the castle up or not will have to be discussed in the family."

"That's really a pity," the leader of the Kuyadis clan laughed and took over the topic. "Nauka is one of the best supply points to enter Lan Mountain, and not only will the Murters' family lose a fortune, they'll also have to support the commoners there for free. Even adventurers and mercenaries will have to complain about it."

"The safety of the territory is of utmost importance, the sealed territory is the Lord's right," Elder Sean slowly spoke, "There is no need for others to say anything more, but the plan to attack the territory of the nobles is equivalent to challenging the authority of the Empire. Patriarch Race is responsible for the safety of the Wind City, so we have no choice but to investigate."

Roth was still smiling as he replied, "Your words are absolutely correct. This damn group of thugs dared to openly challenge the prestige of the empire, this crime will not escape me no matter what," as he spoke, he glanced at the Fei Li family in the corner without revealing anything, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.
