Solomon State, this fertile land tightly embraces the southwest border of Dirna State. As the central territory of the Lane family, Dirna State naturally belongs to the Lane family as well as the neighboring Solomon state. To be precise, Lane
The founding kings of the family have complete control over the political power of Solomon State - and between Solomon State and Kaye State, only the Croes State, which has chaotic control, stands in the way.
The dark clouds over Solomon State were oppressive and gloomy, and they seemed to prove to the dead that an unknown conspiracy had once occurred here.
The leader of the line of founding kings of the Lane family, Nice Lane, this old man who was also a core member of the Lane Family Council of Elders, died of a sudden illness at the beginning of winter this year.
No one believed it was illness that struck him down.
However, no matter the cardinal who came from which temple or the famous private doctor, they found no abnormality in Nice's body. Their careful and flawless examination proved that Nice Lane did indeed die of illness.
As a result, at Nice Lane's memorial service, the dark clouds covering the sky became thicker, making it difficult for those present to breathe.
His memorial service was held in Tamar, the central city of Solomon.
This memorial service will bring together all the major figures in the world in a silent way. Enemies will only put sparks when their eyes collide. Nice is an old man who deserves to be respected. His life has been outstanding in all aspects.
All have outstanding performances, whether it is in-depth magic research or philanthropy.
His death forced the big shots who loved the war to put down their butcher knives and stand quietly for a while.
The first person to show up was the Lane family. In addition to the clan members of the Founding King, the family head was Duke Alcis Lane; the Grand Elder of the Council, Goethe Lane; and the Council Elder and the leader of the mercenary king lineage, Lampman Lane.
Then came the other elders of the Lane family and the main figures of other branches.
Before long, the representative of the Tulip family also appeared in public view. This time, the patriarch of the Tulip family - Cora Tulip, a strong woman who has been hidden from the public eye for a long time, came forward in person and bowed at the coffin in Nice.
Respect. She was wearing a simple black dress, and her long black hair was neatly tied back. She didn't have any weapons on her body, but no matter who it was, they couldn't help but take a few steps back warily when they saw her. This was a dangerous person.
When a woman, even the head of the Lane family, Duke Alsis, saw her, his eyes trembled unconsciously.
Her beauty is directly proportional to her danger level, but no one dares to covet her. Behind her, there is also the deputy patriarch of the Tulip family, the famous giant fat man, Marquis Margrave Marler Gobi. It is rare for this fat man not to have eight attendants.
Carrying a large sedan chair and waiting for him to walk, in fact, the danger level of Mahler Gobi at this time is no less than that of the matriarch in front of him. Although the Tulip family has always avoided conflicts with the Lane family, it does not represent the two.
Their relationship is friendly, at least as evidenced by the artifact, the Dragon-Slaying Sword, that Male Gobi is holding tightly in his hand like a kitchen knife at this moment.
After the Tulip family, the big shots from other families also appeared one after another, but no matter which family, their behavior at this time was almost the same. They appeared silently in everyone's nervous sight, stayed for a moment in front of Nice's coffin, and then remained silent again.
leave.
The memorial service came to an end in the afternoon of that day. The big shots took their own airships or simply used magic scrolls to leave, and the city returned to tranquility.
But the dark clouds in the sky refused to disperse.
The air in the mourning room suddenly became solemn and groggy. Even the few servants who were left to take care of the mourning room suddenly felt that their chests were depressed, and the inexplicable suffocation pushed their hearts to a slight fear. So the last servant Gu
Without being punished, he hurriedly wiped the last magic wall lamp, bit his mouth tightly to prevent himself from screaming in embarrassment, and left as if running away.
The huge mourning room lost its last trace of life.
After a long time, a figure quietly walked in. He stood up straight in front of Nice's coffin. He was dressed in a straight black dress, simple tailoring and valuable diamond buttons, which made him more artistic and luxurious.
His hair is also trimmed exquisitely, and every strand of hair is handled with meticulous care, highlighting his elegance and temperament. This person is Alpha Lane. A few years have not only faded the youthfulness on his face, but also made him
Perfectly matches the appearance of the mask.
He stood quietly, his gaze passing through the glass coffin and falling on the deceased's thin face.
There is no wind, but there is a chill.
Nice Lane seemed to be in deep pain at the last moment of his life. His head was slightly tilted back, and the muscles of his face were completely stretched toward his neck. Even though he fell silent at this time, anyone who saw his face
, as if you can still hear the wail of his bones when he died. Although the makeup artist tried his best to decorate his face, he still couldn't paint a peaceful smile on his withered face. On the contrary, after applying the foundation,
The face of the deceased is even more like the unwilling ghost in an oil painting, and the exaggerated modification techniques reveal his unwillingness and anger.
Alpha stared calmly at the dead man's face.
Before he could, the corners of his mouth suddenly lifted up, revealing his old smile. Just like the lines carved on the mask, it was always cold.
Alpha opened his mouth and spoke softly.
No one heard what he said.
Maybe the dead Nice heard it, but dead people never speak.
He said: If you don’t die, how can I move forward?
The dark clouds above Tamar City finally erupted at this moment. It roared with thunder, and the ferocious lightning turned into wails and roars, constantly intertwined and entangled in the sky, and then hit the ground angrily. But they
The target could never be found - the person who made them angry was standing calmly in the mourning room in Nice, with a normal face.
The heavy rain came as expected.
After Ness's death, the Lane family's founding king line ushered in a new power transition. As the first heir, Alpha Lane undoubtedly grasped the scepter of the founding king line and became the new leader of the founding king line.
At the same time, his title was once again promoted and he officially became a marquis; the title of marquis granted by the Lane family is definitely different from the self-proclaimed duke of Kim Gates. Although Kim Gates is one level higher than Alpha, the former has
The majesty of historical deposits cannot be doubted, but the latter is difficult to put on the table.
And this will mean that among the younger generation of the Lane family, someone will finally take the lead to grasp the power and step into the core of power of the Lane family.
The blood of the new era is shaking up the foundation of the old era.
At this time, time showed the necessary magic again. On the seventh day after Ness's death, no one would question the theory that Ness died of illness. The relevant people focused their attention on the new owner of the line of the founding kings of the Lane family. Or collected information about Ness.
Alpha Lane's favorite information in order to please him; or try to bribe his people to plant one or two defensive seeds.
The most terrifying thing is that it is logical.
On this day, Alpha welcomed an expected guest in his office in Tamar City.
Alpha's new personal bodyguard, an unsmiling female warrior gently opened the office door. Her bangs were flush and her short hair that reached her neck was also neatly trimmed. Her hair was slightly yellow in color, reflecting in the sunlight entering the window in winter.
A subtle sheen. But she carried two strange-looking weapons on her back - chain blades.
The center of the weapon is a handle, with two arc-shaped blades connected to both ends of the handle. A metal iron chain is connected to one part of the handle. The iron chain hangs to the heel of the female warrior, and then twists upwards.
Connected to another weapon with the same appearance. The control of the chain blade requires strong skills, which is directly proportional to the lethality of the chain blade. If it is a pure output competition, among all major types of weapons, the chain blade is absolutely
It's on the list.
"Your Majesty the Marquis."
The female warrior gently reminded Alpha, who was busy, and said: "The guests from Kay State have arrived."
Hearing this, Alpha raised his head, the smile on his face remained unchanged like a mask, and said, "I understand, Vera, let him in."
"OK."
Vera nodded, then stood sideways, and the guests who had been waiting outside the door eagerly stepped into Alpha's office.
It's Peyton Redfield.
After a thousand-mile escape, the old fox was covered in dust, his clothes were even torn in many places and full of stains, and his hair and beard were also dirty and mixed together. Fortunately, the old fox had not forgotten the necessary etiquette, and he went to the new place.
The Marquis of Jin bowed deeply and said: "My lord... ah, no! Dear Marquis... I think you must also have received the news. I have successfully induced the son of the Hero King to use his sacred power.
There was a massacre in Noland City... You see, according to our agreement..."
"I know."
Alpha interrupted him and said: "The family will not allow people to massacre civilians relying on their abilities, and massacres on the battlefield are even more intolerable. Oh, you did a good job, I think... In this way, some members of the Council of Elders will
The old guy can't stop the family from attacking the son of the Hero King..."
"Our agreement..."
Peyton seemed to have a bad premonition, so he cautiously warned Alpha.
"Yes, our agreement."
The smile on Alpha's face was always unpredictable, but he couldn't feel reassured. He glanced at Peyton and said: "As agreed, I will take out a city from Solomon State and give it to you to manage, and of course, you
It is my wish that there are several young ladies with strong blood in the lineage of the founding king. I think they would not mind breeding seeds with the new city lord and giving you one or two smarter children."
Hearing this, Payton's face immediately broke into an ugly smile.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
He said something from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time bowed deeply to Alpha again - but he never thought that if he lowered his head this time, he would never have the chance to raise it again.
A rich magical fireball suddenly lit up on Alpha's fingertips. This fireball was different from ordinary fireballs. It was more like it was made of lava. As Alpha's fingertips flicked, the magic fireball accelerated at a speed beyond the naked eye.
It shot out and hit Payton's head hard, but it quietly burned out a small black hole and a faint smell of burning.
Payton's voice of tears of gratitude suddenly stopped, and his body fell softly to the ground like a puppet that had lost its lines.
He should have thought that when he laid out the chessboard for Alpha, he was just a chess piece in Alpha's hands.
"Dead people cannot speak."
Alpha blinked his eyes to cover up the cold light that appeared at that moment, and said with a smile.
