Count of Wizards

Although Connor had no interest in the appeasement policy proposed by the butler Martinez, but out of respect for the old butler who had served the Ferguson family for decades, Connor did not speak directly. He denied his plan, but said with Tai Chi: "Master Martinez, I just returned to the family, and I am not familiar with the internal affairs of the family, so I don't think I am in a hurry to make a decision on this matter. I still need a little time to think about it!"

Although Connor's words were very polite, Martinez saw that Connor's suggestion to him was a little careless, and immediately said earnestly: "Master Connor, I know that a young man like you is young and energetic. The armed rebellion is unacceptable, and if the current family situation is normal, I will never forgive these rebels."

"Master Connor, you have just returned to the family. You probably don't know the situation in the family. Our family's financial situation is very pessimistic. There are also many forces outside. They are also eyeing the existence of the family. They want to get money from the family at any time. Cutting a piece of meat, internal troubles and external troubles are four words that describe the current situation of the family. It can be said that it is not too much at all, not to mention far away, but even in Frosinone, the status of the family is also in jeopardy."

"Now is the time to unite everyone in the family. Now those who follow Domenech, Jack Ferguson, and Bernardo to launch a rebellion, I'm sure they are absolutely in fear. , I am afraid that the family will launch an easy attack on them"

"If at this time, Master Connor, you are magnanimous and forgive their crimes, then you will undoubtedly win their loyalty and the support of the entire Ferguson family!" At this point, the steward Martinez paused , looked at Connor, as if wanting to see something from Connor's face, but to their disappointment, after listening to his long speech, Connor's face was as calm as water, without the slightest emotional change .

Seeing Connor's noncommittal attitude, Martinez hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, "On the other hand, Master Connor, when the hearts of the people in this family are fluctuating, you choose to kill and pursue it to the end. A family that is uncertain in wind and rain is in danger of falling apart..."

Hearing Butler Martinez's exaggerated words, although Connor's face remained expressionless, he still felt a little disgusted with Butler Martinez's behavior in his heart.

As Chief Steward Martinez said, if Connor chooses to act at this time, under his iron-blooded wrist, the Ferguson family is indeed in danger. After all, those rebels will definitely not wait to be killed, and they will definitely give it a go. But the danger of disintegration is undoubtedly nonsense!

If you want the Ferguson family to fall apart, the first condition is the Ferguson family cavaliers. As a hereditary noble, the Ferguson family no longer has a legal armed force. Since Domenech, Jack Ferguson, Bernardo and others are in Ferguson this time, Before the armed rebellion launched by the manor, the main force of the family knight team was deliberately transferred away. It can be seen that although these rebels have many supporters in the family, they have not yet obtained the support of the family knight team. support!

If the Family Cavaliers supported Domenech and their armed rebellion, then Domenech did not need to deceive the steward Martinez through Bernardo to transfer the Family Cavaliers out of the manor, and Domenech did not need to recruit those gangsters. The clothes man came to help him with his work!

As long as the legal armed force of the family cavaliers still exists, although the situation of the Ferguson family is still very bad, it will definitely not collapse all of a sudden and completely fall apart.

Butler Martinez, as the actual controller of the family, will never fail to understand this truth, but if he still says this, there is only one possibility, and that is that Butler Martinez is exaggerating on purpose to scare himself , trying to make himself quit, agree to his appeasement policy.

Although it is clear that Steward Martinez made such a decision not because of his personal self-interest, but for the future of the family, but Connor, who has always been arbitrary, was still a little unhappy in his heart, but he did not take it seriously. These displeasures were manifested, but he once again solemnly said to Steward Martinez: "Steward Martinez, I understand what you mean, I will make the right choice for the future of the family, but now I Need to think about it!"

Seeing that Connor was still insisting, the butler Martinez was a little hesitant to say something, trying to say something, but in the end he just sighed slightly and didn't try to admonish Connor, although before Connor was away, The chief steward of his family is the actual controller of the Ferguson family, but now that Connor, the rightful first heir of the patriarch, has returned, it is now Connor's turn to make the final decision, and he, the chief steward, should return to his original position. The job of assisting the head of the family to manage the family, and making decisions for Connor, is exceeding his authority!

Seeing the butler Martinez, he finally stopped talking. To prevent the atmosphere from being awkward, Connor took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Old butler, how long will it take for me to succeed the head of the house and the title of earl?"

"According to the provisions of the Empire's "Inheritance Law" and "Nobility Succession Law", Connor, as the rightful first-line heir to the earl position, when it comes time to inherit, you only need to send an official letter to the empire in the name of the family."

"After receiving the official letter and being approved by the empire, you, Master Connor, will be the Earl of Ferguson. At that time, according to the usual practice, the family will hold a ceremony to celebrate Master Connor as the new Earl of Ferguson. During the ceremony, you, Master Connor, will I will receive blessings from the Imperial Royal Family, the Earth God Cult, and the Church of the Storm...!" Butler Martinez introduced the whole process of inheriting the title to Connor.

"Leave these matters to you, the housekeeper!" Connor said with a smile:

"No problem, Master Connor!" Butler Martinez nodded. For him, such family affairs are what he is best at.

After talking about some other things with the butler Martinez, Connor and Martinez ended the meeting today, and personally sent the butler Martinez to the door. When Connor watched the old man leave, he slightly With a hunched back, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes...
