Four hundred and fifty fourth years of deprivation of rights
Not to mention anything else, these knights had already prepared for the collision between domains, but the sudden appearance of spatial confinement caught them off guard. No one had told them that there was a high-level supernatural being in a count family.
The elders did not take action at all. The middle-level elders had a tacit understanding with each other. After opening their domains, they collided with each other and created an impact. The two high-level elders just controlled the surrounding space and instantly destroyed the domains opened by the knights' instincts. Not once, but twice.
This time, this made everyone feel uncomfortable, and then they were hit by the energy shock from the field collision, and everyone flew backwards.
Conrad woke up and turned around suddenly. The battle was over, and his face turned pale when he saw his subordinates lying on the ground. He denied that what he saw in front of him was real, and that he was just under some kind of illusion.
"Yes, this is an illusion. My subordinates cannot be defeated like this."
Jefferson, who was the least concerned about his feelings here: "Lost? Not only are you mentally ill, but your eyes are also blind, and they are dead!"
At this moment, Conrad felt that the whole world was spinning and his body was shaking, as if he would faint at any time. The butler quickly went over to support him so that he would not really fall. At that time, Count Javier's face would really be lost.
He couldn't pick it up anymore. The guard captain did not dare to stand in front of Conrad at this time, but stood on the other side to prevent the elders from harming the clan leader. Although he knew this was impossible, he wanted to stand in line and express his position at this time.
The housekeeper and the guard captain were subordinates of the Earl, that is, servants, and were considered members of the Javier family. The elder did not attack them during the attack. The assistant was killed yesterday and now belongs to Conrad's close subordinates. They are the only two left.
people.
"waste!"
"waste!"
At this moment, Liang Zhen and Hilda commented on Conrad at the same time, but their starting points were different. The latter disliked him and felt happy when he saw him suffer. The former was judging a headstrong man with extremely poor vision, which led to his own losses.
It was disastrous and all prestige was lost.
However, what Liang Zhen received outside the castle was Catherine's agreement: "It's really a waste!"
All roads lead to Rome, but some people were born in Rome, and this refers to Conrad. But he ruined his good situation.
Hilda alerted several elders over there. At first they did not pay attention to this small low-level person, but a person appeared behind her instantly.
As a killer, she was quite keen, and she immediately raised her hands to express surrender. She didn't want these people to misunderstand. The supernatural side was really too dangerous, and she wanted to go back to being a student.
"She's just a guest here, it doesn't matter." Jefferson explained helpfully.
He likes this little girl quite a lot, and this is an internal matter within the family, and he doesn't want to bring disaster to Chi Yu. As for those lying on the ground, they are just garbage who are ignorant of current affairs when they are dead, and they are short-sighted garbage when they are alive. Waste can be reused, garbage.
It can only be landfilled.
However, Liang Zhen still got good news. He knew that the coats of arms on the new bodyguards were from the Eighth Knights of the Holy See, thus confirming that there was indeed a connection between the Javier family and the Holy See. Hilda's move was not abandoned.
"Here, I question the Earl's behavior and propose to abolish the Earl's control over the family assets." The old man who spoke first looked at Jefferson, frowned, looked around him again, and could only sigh and said,
"Hey! Before the earl got the support of most elders of the Presbyterian Church, the family property was managed by Kevel."
The elder peacemaker was stunned and did not expect to suggest that he be allowed to manage the family. The old man was also helpless. His most ideal manager was Jefferson, but given his position, he could not be allowed to touch the core interests of the family. Most of the elders followed
I am also already old, or trying to break through to another level, and have no time and energy. Counting myself,
These old guys have been dissatisfied with Conrad for a long time, and they will inevitably not make things difficult for him after taking office. Now they are just planning for the future of the entire family, so they can only choose from the younger elders. The youngest ones are the peacemaker and another
Elder. But in comparison, the peacemaker was promoted by the young earl in recent years, and to a certain extent he will move towards the earl.
After all, the Earl is still young and has all the secrets of the family. He will definitely want to get back the management rights of the family industry. He will not care if anything bad happens.
, let the peacemaker have a headache. Anyway, he will only need to vote when the time comes. In his opinion, Conrad is too young to hold a big position now.
It’s not that being young is bad, it’s because when you are young and have little experience, you are prone to irritability. When you encounter few things, your vision is narrow. If you cannot learn to be calm and plan, you are prone to pride and complacency. The family is obviously powerful, but he is shielded from it. He blindly believes that he is in the family.
The power obtained from outside has led to the current results. The elder hopes that after today's incident, he can wake up. It is not known whether this troubled time has left him time to grow.
Others did not expect that it was the elder who raised the question, not Jefferson as expected. What was important at this time was to think about their own interests and family interests, and it did not matter who made the proposal.
One of the elders was more impatient and said without hesitation: "No need to wait. Except for Jodi who is not here, all the other elders are here. I agree with this proposal."
He and the proposed elder are the two strongest members of the family, two high-ranking ones. Only now did Conrad find out that his family actually has high-ranking supernatural beings. You must know that generally only dukes or royal families have high-ranking supernatural beings. Decline
Some of the high-ranking nobles have not even had a high-ranking member for decades or hundreds of years.
The two senior elders agreed, and the other elders quickly expressed their opinions. The four elders present except Jefferson and Peacemaker also agreed, and they instantly received six votes, more than half.
The proposed elder stepped forward and announced: "Conrad, the Elders Council has now decided to deprive you of the management rights of your family's property. A formal document will be formed in a while. Whether you sign it or not, it will officially take effect tomorrow."
There is nothing left to say. It has been a decades-old tradition to hold an elders’ meeting after a bicycle race. Now it is no longer necessary, so we all went back. Every family has its own rules.
Liang Zhen was a little bored and thought it was a good show, but he didn't expect it to have such an anticlimactic ending. He immediately assessed that there was little value in the follow-up and stopped paying attention to Hilda's follow-up performance. He pretended to be a good show.
A normal tourist left here and returned to Marvin.
Conrad locked himself in the room and was depressed for several days, but the butler still couldn't bear it and walked in with a dinner plate.
"Master, it's time for you to cheer up."
The persuasion was replaced by a burst of crazy roaring: "Cheer up? How do you want me to cheer up? The team I have worked hard to build for several years is gone, and I still want to use them to fight for power in the Holy See! There are those elders in the family
What's holding me back is that my uncle in the Holy See is causing trouble for me. I don't believe it. He was not involved in this assassination. What do you want me to cheer up for?"
After considering the words, the housekeeper said: "First of all, Miss Hilda, she has a very high talent, and she has entered the supernatural side not long ago, and her resources and connections are limited. If you are willing to help, I may not be able to recruit you as a confidant."
"And you forgot about the middleman Marvin? You can find out from him who the assassin was, and he must know many desperadoes. With the resources provided by the family, it is better than them licking blood every day and not eating enough."
It’s time to make a strong move. When the time comes, use them to charge into battle, and at the same time, recruit talents to build a new team.”
After quietly listening to the butler's advice, Conrad silently thought about it carefully. He had now reached the lowest point and could not be worse.
"Do you think it's still possible?"
"Yes, you are Count Javier, and the management of the family property will eventually return to your hands." The butler said firmly.
Taking a deep breath, I finally exhaled a breath: "What is Hilda doing?"
"She is temporarily living in the castle, waiting to complete the transaction with you."
"You just have to perform the contract at the usual price, no matter how much you want to trade. You don't have to report it to me anymore. Also, isn't she interested in a supernatural object? No matter what the cost, I have to help her get it."
He saw how talented Hilda was and decided to follow the housekeeper's suggestion and accept her as his subordinate.
"As you command!"
He was also very pleased to see the Earl who had regained his strength. In his eyes, the ambitious young man who had just inherited the title was back again. In his opinion, the Earl was smart and courageous. No matter what, the Earl was smart and courageous.
Everyone can get through the difficulties. As expected, I came out of the slump and immediately thought of specific countermeasures. I gathered a low-level method at my fingertips. I put the food on the table and left.
Hilda stayed in the castle. She had traveled all over the place in the past few days and was already a little tired. She kept asking the housekeeper overtly and covertly when she could trade. The treatment given to her here was good. Where could she go?
No one is following me, but it's like there are invisible threads wrapping around me, binding my body and feeling unfree.
She had witnessed the conflict in the castle hall with her own eyes. Before, she had only killed people in small fights. The day and night of hunting in the past few days had already been a bit eye-opening. Otherwise, she wouldn't have felt that way in her heart.
She is just a small low-level psychic. How can she be so involved in such a big battle? This time her eyes were really opened.
After escaping from the chase, she felt three parts thankful, three parts resentful, and the remaining four parts proud. After experiencing all this, she was really scared. She even had a nightmare on the first night, the same as her first time.
It's the same feeling as when you kill someone.
Seeing the butler appear, Hilda immediately asked: "When will the transaction be done? It has been delayed for several days. If you don't want to trade, let me leave. You nobles are like this..."
Go back on your word? Shameless? Use your power to oppress others?
