Volume 1 - Ouroboros and Black Iris Chapter 42 The Sima Family and the Lu Family
Xinyuan City Chengdong Sima Family Ancestral Hall
"Master, most of the necessary preparations for the summoning ceremony have been completed. Now we just need to wait quietly for the time to come."
"No, the spies we planted in the Liu family have been confirmed. Lord Liu Quan has been selected as one of the seven masters, and they have begun to summon the followers."
"Other spies have also reported that Wang Qilin from the Wang family has also been selected." There is no news yet from the Chen family, so we don't know the specific situation."
"In addition, no relevant information has been leaked from other families. They should have blocked the information."
Above the ancestral hall, Sima Chaoyang was sitting at the table, listening carefully and analyzing the current situation. Facing the current situation, he looked calm and calm. The nervousness of everyone was gradually eased by Sima Chaoyang's calmness.
.
"The situation has become clear."
Sima Chaoyang's mature voice echoed in the clan hall. Faced with the sudden opening of the family head, everyone fell silent instantly. At this moment, we really need someone who can take charge of the overall situation, and Sima Chaoyang is obviously the best candidate.
"We will discuss the detailed combat strategy later. What we need to do now is also the most critical step." In order to give the tribesmen a clear goal, Sima Chaoyang chose to temporarily cancel preparations for other plans and focus on what should be carried out at the moment.
Matters. Hearing the majestic voice of the family leader, everyone present held their breath, waiting for him to announce the current plan.
"Quan'er.
Sima Chaoyang shouted, which seemed to be a person's name. "Here."
"You go to the ancestral temple first and be prepared to summon the heroic spirits." Sima Chaoyang instructed.
"clear."
Sima Quan stood up. He was the youngest person in this overcrowded ancestral hall. However, many people gave way to him one after another until he walked out of the ancestral hall. The reason was not just because of him.
He is the grandson of Sima Chaoyang, or he was selected as one of the masters of this Holy Grail War. In addition, a large part of it is because his talent in magic is far superior to that of others.
"Naofumi, please bring a few people to assist Quan'er in performing the ceremony."
Sima Chaoyang said again. This time, the man sitting on his right stood up. Sima Shangwen was Sima Chaoyang's son and Sima Quan's father. In the entire family, he was second only to the head of the family.
"Understood, father."
Sima Shangwen immediately walked out of the ancestral hall, followed by several people with equally high status. With the exit of a few people, there were not many people left in the ancestral hall. Compared with the previous ones,
Compared with the crowd, it is actually deserted. However, they are still waiting for the family leader to give orders. In a big family, status is everything. People with low status must obey the orders of people with high status. Not to mention that they face
Yes, he is the master of the entire family.
"Gentlemen, what I want to discuss next is the policy for conducting the war..."
At the same time, the Lu family, who are in the same situation, are seizing the opportunity and planning to start the summoning ceremony. However, it is not as lively as the Sima family. There are only three people in the spacious warehouse at this time. Two of them are side by side.
Standing, there is a slight difference in physique from the back. One of these two people is Lu Jia, and the other is naturally his father - Lu Xueyan
Although the two are almost the same in size, in comparison, Lu Jia lacks a stable and mature temperament. In front of them, a petite girl wearing a black and purple veil is slowly leaning forward
Painting the mercury. She occasionally stopped and turned her head, glanced at the tablet on the wooden table, and then continued to create. Time passed slowly, and she gradually painted a silver magic circle on the ground like a painting. Then
The girl took out her legs and carefully jumped out of the center of the array. Then she looked back to make sure that the array was still intact.
"It's done, Minister."
The girl's crisp voice sounded, and she said as if she was done. Hearing her words, Lu Xueyan felt relieved. He nodded and replied:
"Thanks for your hard work."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Jia. The latter seemed a little nervous at the moment. He licked his lower lips, took a long breath, and tried to calm himself down. Of course, the effect of this approach was very limited. I wonder if Lu Jia had any
Not alleviated.
"Relax. Although summoning is crucial, summoning a good heroic spirit is not the only way to win. Just keep your mentality correct."
Seeing that his son was so nervous, Lu Xueyan spoke to calm the atmosphere.
"clear."
Lu Jia replied, although there was still tension in his tone, it did seem to have relaxed a lot.
"Minister, Luo Tian sent a message. He said that what he can confirm is that Liu Quanjun is also one of the selected people, but Chen Yunming was not selected."
The girl who was sitting on the wooden table, shaking her legs slightly and staring at the tablet, suddenly said. The pale white light emitted by the screen shone on her face, and her red mouth could be vaguely seen.
"Well... very good... the next step is just one step away."
After hearing the news from the girl, Lu Xueyan whispered to himself in a low voice, and then asked again:
"Are the holy relics ready?"
"It's already been taken out."
The person speaking this time was Lu Jia, and he was holding a small sharp metal pillar in his hand. Judging from the production process and rough surface, it seemed that it had been a long time ago. But in people's minds
With careful care, this item still retains its original solemn feel, with no trace of rust on the surface.
"By the way...what the hell is this...
The girl asked suspiciously when she saw what Lu Jia was holding.
"This is the broken head of a war halberd. It has a history of thousands of years. If it succeeds, then this war will become easy."
