Realm of Power

633 Angry Blood (5)

No. 66 Duke Avenue in Zhivadin City. This Buick-style building at the corner of the intersection is the residence of the Herrel family, one of the twelve silk deacons of the Commercial Alliance. Above the smooth mirror-like marble door ten meters long and wide, there is an inscription There are six gryphon reliefs. On the top is a coat of arms with a long sword stuck in the handle.

The sculpture has gorgeous curves, and the thick and steady limbs and the flamboyant war eagle feathers complement each other. Just like the tradition of the Ridian knights using golden lions to describe themselves, the Nordic warriors using crossed battle axes to show their bravery, and the Kujit rangers using wolf heads as their battle flags, which is agile and agile. The gorgeous flying griffon is the symbol of the Knights of Vecia.

The ancestor of the Horele family was a prestigious Vecian griffin knight. He killed several barbarian generals in the war to open up the southern border, and was granted the title of a lord of the Zivadin region by the Vecian royal family. This It is a family known for its keen vision. There are many talented people with unique vision among the family heads in the past generations.

After Samor took control of Zivadin, the keen-eyed Horele family quickly grasped the pulse of the times and became one of the first aristocrats to transform from the traditional aristocratic manor economy to a commercial economy.

After several years of development, with the rapid expansion of Samor's power and the unique advantages of the Zivadin area, the Herrel family, once known as a famous family in the south, has once again become one of the major wealthy businessmen in Zivadin, especially with the military. The ship leasing plan cooperated with all parties has brought the family's reputation, which has always been eager to expand its scope, to an unprecedented peak.

As a powerful person in charge of the residence of the Grand Deacon of the Commercial Alliance in the South,

On the occasion of the upcoming deacons' meeting, the gate that should have been bustling with traffic was now deserted. The heavy black door, ornately embossed, was tightly closed. Even in the bright sunshine, it reflects a dark and cold luster,

Pedestrians pass by in a hurry, and occasionally they will hear a low sigh in the crowd: a pitiful and pityful look sweeping over the once glorious gate in front of them.

At this moment, in the deep hall of the courtyard, the atmosphere was equally dull and depressing. Old Heruile was sitting on Yu Nanmu's seat in the center of the hall. With slightly cloudy eyes, he carefully examined the list in his hand. Occasionally, a heart-stopping moment flashed across his eyes. In the cold light, his face turned a little blue and white, which was a sign of overwork.

"The rumors are false, otherwise..."

After reviewing the list in his hand, Old Heruile put it down with extreme caution as if he was kicking a piece of live coals. He muttered to himself with depression at the corners of his chapped mouth. He gently rubbed his sore temples with his skinny fingers and raised his hand. He raised his somewhat gray head and nodded silently to the butler who had been waiting next to him.

"Let's get started, let everyone in the southern deacon level and above come in."

"Yes, sir!"

The butler turned around with a gloomy expression and pushed open the closed hall door behind him.

"Creak" With a dragging and rubbing sound, the closed heavy door opened, and a ray of golden sunlight shone in from the crack of the open and closed door, drawing a bright and dark scratch on the dark ground.

There was already a crowd outside the door. Hundreds of densely packed people filled the small courtyard in front of them. When they saw the old housekeeper coming out, they all raised their heads and saw the darkness.

"Horace, Horacusa..." The butler read the list in his hand, and the people whose names were called filed into the hall. Most of them were energetic young people. They were not soldiers, but they stood there neatly. , giving people a feeling of vitality, it seems that even the air is filled with active factors

He Ruile's vicissitudes of life swept across the faces of these family elites, and he secretly sighed in his heart. If he were 20 years younger, he would not need to hear the slightest trouble. Just like a frightened bird, when he faced the bloody storm of the Kugits, The energy that never fades has been worn away a lot in the past few years of business career.

"Everyone, sit down"

He Ruile waved his hand to these young people who were named, his slightly pale face finally regained some of his energy,

These are the backbone of the Horele family. It is these young people who have propped up the business kingdom of the Horele family. With the expansion of the family trade network, the Horele family has expanded its business operations in Kugit, the northwest Maumo region and Ruidian. There are branches all over the country. These elites trained over many years are the pillars of Nanhe Trading’s plan.

In May, the temperature in the South China Sea returned and the closure of the ports in Salad was lifted. It was the time for the South to flex its muscles. He Ruile was not willing to transfer all these backbones unless it was absolutely necessary. In a few days, I am afraid that the family's loss will be more than 40,000 gold coins, but it is urgent and I can't care about that much.

This storm came too suddenly, with almost no warning, but it was a hurricane that was enough to destroy everything. The Eberron garrison lost 500 infantry crossbows. The families have no intersection,

However, word spread that the 500 infantry crossbows lost this time had been privately transported to Salander in the south, and the person who handled this matter was the Horele family in charge of the south.

This is definitely a frame-up by the Pollock family. The first thought of the experienced He Ruile when he heard the news was this. As a big boss in the southern trade, one is in charge of shaking and the other is in charge of land trade. They are originally Rivals competing with each other, but it is too disgraceful to resort to such despicable methods of framing.

But soon new information came,

The Kingdom's Supervisory Department, which has always been known for its cruelty and ruthlessness, has followed up on this matter, and the veteran boss of the Eberron garrison, Caesar Sauron, known as the last knight, was demoted to the Sheriff of Zhivadin because of this matter. ,

This can be regarded as a major event that shocked the entire Wikidia. Even Caesar Sauron, a military leader who has been relied on as his right-hand man since the Falcon Era, was so unfairly punished for this matter. The Grand Duke of Falcon was very concerned about this. The anger of the incident can be imagined, and what followed was the replacement of the commander of the Zhivadin garrison.

This series of actions by the Duke of Kea's Palace made the usually calm Heruile unable to sit still. The demotion of Caesar Sauron was enough to let everyone who might be involved in this matter know that these five hundred lost crossbows were Like a big stone thrown into a small pool, what is stirred up is not only beautiful, but also the giant that may destroy the family.

This unexpected incident completely disrupted the Horele family's plan. Originally, he planned to take advantage of the growing prosperity of the South to strive to improve his ranking as a business alliance deacon from fifth to fourth.

Comparing his old rivals, the Pollock family, which is responsible for southern inland trade, is a major event to enhance the family's reputation. The ranking of the deacon often determines the prestige and influence of the deacon family.

But now, although there is nothing too obvious, according to the latest news, the Grand Duke Falcon will personally attend the deacons meeting in mid-June. This is a major event that shakes the entire business alliance.

At this moment, the arrival of Duke Falcon allowed many families with keen sense of smell to vaguely smell the pungent smell of blood in the oncoming wind. This was the precursor of a thunderstorm.

Grand Duke Falcon is a legend in the business world and an undefeated god of murder on the battlefield. This incident of losing the infantry crossbow will undoubtedly draw the anger of this god of murder towards Zhivadin.

Now the entire business community in Zivadin is like a flock of frightened birds, squatting in a pitiful mansion, too frightened to even kick the air. What's more, the Horele family, which is regarded as the center of the whirlpool in rumors, is not only neglected in front of the door. , no one cares about it, even the Horele family itself has its door closed, looking like a disaster is imminent.

"Does this matter have anything to do with you? As a deacon in the south, such a big deal cannot be completely hidden from your eyes." He Ruile's eyes flickered, his fingers tapped the armrest of the seat, and he said in a condensing voice. "Five hundred infantry crossbows are not something you can just fish in troubled waters and just prevaricate. Those guys in the Kingdom's Supervision Department are more sensitive than a dog's nose.

"If so, stand up like a man and take the trouble yourself."

He Ruile's voice paused, his cold eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and he said in a heavy and haggard voice, "Stand up now, but only one person will die, but your relatives will be spared, and the family will help you take care of it. If the supervisor If everyone is found out, the whole family will be involved. Then don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"Huhu"

The hall is very quiet, so quiet that you can hear the breeze blowing the grass and flowers in the flower beds outside the door. Everyone's heads are lowered, and the silence and depression on everyone's faces seems to have stopped even the flowing air.

"master....."

At this moment, the housekeeper outside the door suddenly ran in with a strange look on his face. Because he ran so fast, he almost fell to the ground with a cry.

"Why are you so impatient?"

He Ruile looked at the stumbling butler and snorted in dissatisfaction. The butler was always steady and he didn't know why he suddenly lost his composure.

The butler bent down and whispered in He Ruile's ear for a while. All the eyes in the hall looked at him, making the butler's face red and white, which was extremely embarrassing, but the paleness on his face undoubtedly indicated that something terrible had happened.

"Are you sure?" He Ruile looked at the housekeeper with a face full of disbelief. How could that woman appear in his home at this moment?

"Yes, although I haven't met him formally, I can't pretend to be cool and charming." The housekeeper affirmed breathlessly. "Besides, she asked to see the master by name. If she is pretending, I'm afraid she's not that big." Be brave, the master is one of the twelve deacons, and he has seen a real person."

"By the way, she also brought this." The housekeeper seemed to remember something and quickly took out a small black object from his arms.

It was a brooch made of unknown black metal. The shiny black handle was like a budding black rose, with more than a dozen tiny red flame-like gems inlaid in the middle of the stamen.

Even if there is not enough light in the hall, you can still feel the preciousness and uniqueness of these rubies. ..
