"Well... I also need a craftsman to help me make weak bullets." Hotch thought for a while and made his request again.
"Weak bullet?"
Marquis Bach was stunned for a moment, then realized: "It's the combination of the medicine you used to deal with O'Neill and the extraordinary bullets, right?"
"right."
Hotch nodded and said: "Father, you will make arrangements for the people in the Knights Hall and the Holy Church these days. I will first find more ways to protect myself. Mother, you can prepare for the gathering in a few days."
"We have rejected Mrs. Nia's request to meet. I think it won't be long before Her Royal Highness the Princess will call you to ease the relationship. At that time, you can bring up the party."
"Of course, I believe that even if you don't say it, Her Highness the Princess will mention it."
Hearing these words, Mrs. Belle sighed softly: "Hey, I really don't want Princess Leia to be the person behind the scenes..."
"Mom, I don't hope either, but if it is really her, we can't show mercy." Hodge looked at his mother, Mrs. Belle, seriously, and said seriously.
"Of course, if she wants to hurt my husband and son, I will not let her go." Mrs. Belle put away her weakness and indecision, her eyes became firm, and she said loudly.
For her, her son and husband are more important than anything else.
"Mom, in fact, everything has not been investigated clearly yet. It may not be her. Maybe she is an innocent person like us."
Hodge comforted him and turned to look at his father, Marquis Bach: "Father, I recently received information that the empire's top officials plan to take action against the rebels in the New Gil area."
"Huh?" Marquis Bach looked more solemn and thoughtful.
"Father, are you an anti-war faction?"
"The higher-ups in the empire should have been angry with you and wanted you to support this matter, but you refused, right?"
Hotch asked.
Hearing this, Marquis Bach nodded and replied: "Yes, I think it is not necessary. In the war ten years ago, many people died, and the empire also gained its due benefits. This kind of war purely for plunder
War is very cruel."
Hotch nodded. He couldn't comment on his father's choice, so he said:
"What happened this time may have something to do with it."
"The high-level officials of the empire plan to capture the Dark Mountain Forest and open the final passage to the Hob United Empire."
Marquis Bach's expression rarely changed. With his knowledge, he could naturally understand what it meant for the two major empires in the Southern Continent to launch a war.
Regardless of victory or defeat, the final result must be a battle between gods.
The five major churches divided the main beliefs of the two empires and occupied a large number of believers. Once either side failed, the gods would lose a lot of faith. This was something that the true gods could not bear.
Believers not only want to stabilize their godhood, but also stay awake and prevent themselves from falling into madness.
Gods can also go crazy. The fallen evil gods were once normal and sane gods, but due to some reasons they eventually fell and became synonymous with madness, death, and evil.
"What does our King, His Majesty, want to do?" Marquis Bach muttered to himself, and his words were full of doubts about Salom IV without any respect.
"He's crazy!"
"How could he do this?"
Mrs. Belle also understood the seriousness of the matter. Her face turned pale and she could not calm down her emotions. Her voice was trembling: "Once the Salom Empire and the Hob United Empire go to war, the entire southern continent will reignite the war, and all living creatures will suffer."
Catastrophic.”
"This is a disaster!"
Mrs. Belle cast her pleading eyes on Marquis Bach and murmured: "Dear..."
"Don't worry, I will stop all this." Marquis Bach nodded gently and reassured.
"Father, mother, for now, will this war start?"
"The decision is in our hands."
"This war is not only related to the future of the entire Southern Continent, but also related to the future of our family. The empire's senior officials intend to use the death of our family to gain the anger of the people, divert the disaster eastward, and start a new war."
"Our family, Mrs. Nia's family, are all victims after weighing the pros and cons, abandoned children eliminated by the current situation. We must save ourselves and prevent all this from happening."
"This is not only for the sake of all the creatures on the continent, but also for ourselves."
"We have no choice."
Huo Qi's tone was extremely solemn, and he looked at his father and mother seriously.
Hearing this, Marquis Bach nodded, looked at his responsible son, and said with a smile: "Hodge, do what you want. Even if we are really abandoned, we can't let the people behind the scenes finish it comfortably.
Everything, turn him upside down!"
"How can it be so easy to make our whole family a victim?"
"Even if it means death, I still have to take a bite of the meat!"
There was also a smile on Huo Qi's face, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness, and he said: "Yes! We have to settle this account family by family, let's start with the Eternal Demon Sect..."
…
In the next few days, Huo Qi refined the weak potion and purified the thin blood of werewolves in the morning. In the afternoon, he worked with craftsmen to make weak bullets. In the evening, he went to the library to study "The Complete Collection of Blood Clan Languages", "Ancient History" and other related knowledge.
His father, the Marquis Bach, occasionally came over to teach Hodge some secret common sense and occult knowledge.
This allowed Hodge to grow rapidly and continuously improve.
In the process of refining potions many times, Hodge's potion digestion speed was also very fast, and most of it was already completed.
Hodge is also more familiar with the alchemy circle, and can complete the transformation of a large area of matter in a few breaths.
Everything is going in the right direction.
In the past few days, as expected by Hodge, Princess Leia called her mother, Mrs. Belle, through a magic device.
After some exchanges, Mrs. Belle decided to hold a party on the weekend and invite the celebrities, rich and upper class people of the empire to come to the party.
Naturally, this includes Mrs. Nia's family.
With Her Royal Highness the Princess intervening, even Mrs. Belle must give face to this Highness, and everything seems to be logical.
Many high-ranking people were invited.
Time passed and the day of the dinner soon came.
Starting from the afternoon, many celebrities, nobles, and wealthy people began to arrive at the Marquis's residence one after another.
The whole manor gradually became lively.
Some desserts, afternoon tea, and snacks were placed on the corresponding dining tables one after another. The wealthy and aristocratic people were in groups, holding champagne, chatting, and communicating.
His father, Marquis Bach, wore a dignified formal tuxedo, black tie, dark red corsage, and suit trousers, looking formal, mature, elegant, and noble.
He gently held his arm with Mrs. Belle, who was wearing a sky-blue dress and exquisite jewelry. Among the crowd, he chatted and toasted, walking and stopping, showing the courtesy and elegance of an aristocrat.
This is the social scene of the Salom Empire.
Portraits of the daily lives of countless celebrities and nobles.
Hodge stood in the third-floor corridor, silently watching this scene, thinking in his heart: This day has finally come...
