The patriarch burst into laughter. The Adrian in front of him was still the same Adrian who left the family. Although he had "made great" achievements, his sense of belonging to the family had not changed at all, and he still "coveted" his seat.
He took the throne of the patriarch and made no secret of his ambition.
Adrian said this on purpose. He knew that no amount of guarantees could dispel the patriarch's worries about leaving the family. It would be more convincing to show that he was full of yearning and ambition for the throne of the patriarch as before. If others Ai
Adrien would not have such patience and kindness, but who would let the patriarch stand in front of him? Adrien is willing to do so for him.
The middle-aged high-ranking elf in front of him, who is not surprising and always smiling, has really paid too much for the family. He is not as dazzling as Aragund among their generation, and he is not as recognized as Glenson Tower like Aragund.
He has the title of the number one arcane archer, but he is such a person, but he carries the entire family on his shoulders but is always smiling, just to liberate other tribesmen like Aragund from their mundane affairs to impact the Holy Spirit.
level.
This is why the longer Adrian stays in this world, the more grateful he is to have traveled to the Foehn Windflee family. The Foehn Windflee family is a true family that is for everyone, and everyone is for me. This family does not have those for
Although there will be competition among family members in the intrigue of rights and interests, it is a legitimate competition to promote each other. After all, they have been taught since childhood that tribe and family are the greatest treasures.
In other families, the phenomenon of intrigues and even plotting against each other to the death can never be seen in the Foehn Windflee family. They are always thinking about improving their strength level to attack the Holy Spirit, so that the family can return to the position of Great Elder.
The ranks of the family, they even call the throne of the patriarch, the secular affairs.
This is a family that Adrian likes very much and is very lucky to have. Sometimes he even thinks that if he had time traveled to a family like Tidal Dolanei or Longbow Gold, he might have gotten his hands on it earlier now given his character.
It is stained with the blood of the clan. Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say this, but it is inevitable to fall into the quagmire of power struggle within the family.
Just when Adrian was sighing, the patriarch stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Adrian's shoulder, then tapped Adrian's forehead with a finger and said with a smile: "No problem
, Aidan, I will work hard to live well, and I will personally hand over the throne of the patriarch to you when you grow to be strong enough, but you must also promise me to bring the family back to the way the Holy Spirit ancestors once were.
high."
Speaking of this, the patriarch suddenly felt a little sentimental: "This is what the previous patriarch told me. I promised with all my heart at that time. I also firmly believed that I could do it, but I didn't have the ability to fulfill my promise. I
…”
"No, Mr. Patriarch, you have done well enough, and everyone in the tribe knows this." Adrian comforted firmly. This is not that he is flattering Mr. Patriarch, but it is the fact. Let me ask Mr. Patriarch.
He has never spoken about the bitterness of being a legendary peak among many Holy Spirit Elders, but it is conceivable. Don’t think that the Holy Spirit Elders have no selfish motives, otherwise why would Harper’s grandfather be pushed out to be a prisoner?
The scapegoat is just that the Holy Spirit Elder looks good when he eats.
After Adrian said this, he saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so he jokingly said: "Master Patriarch, you have to work hard to live. You will see the day when I become the Holy Spirit. You have to watch me become you and my father."
How can they be so negative when they haven't accomplished anything? This is not good for your health."
"Aidan!" Aragund, who had been silent, cursed in a low voice, trying to stop Adrian from making such a disrespectful and frivolous joke, but the patriarch waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's okay.
This is the vigor and ambition that a family should hope for. Don’t worry, we will set the stage for you even if we die. I just hope that this day will come soon."
…
In the following conversation, the three of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention this heavy topic again. Instead, they focused on the fact that Adrian's territory could finally recruit free people. At this point, Adrian and the patriarch
The adults had a disagreement. Adrian wanted to expand his territory. However, the patriarch suggested that Adrian, like all the younger sons in the family, end his duties of "guarding and herding the forest" and transfer his tree people and plantations.
They all moved back to the Nibelungen. Of course, this was not because they were coveting Adrian's wealth, but because they were really considering security issues.
Therefore, the patriarch suggested that Adrian only need to recruit a small number of free people, but Adrian did not think so:
"Patriarch, father, I have always had a myth. If our family builds enough cities in the family forest like the one next door, especially if there is a town-sized city where I am now,
So when Duwei's Lich fleet sneaks into the South Wind Forest, will it have enough warning time and strategic buffer?"
Adrian's statement made Aragund and the patriarch fall into deep thought. They could not deny that Adrian's words were reasonable, although to a certain extent because the second sons of the family continued to move their properties back to Nibelungen
It strengthened the city strength of Nibelungen and better protected the growth of young people in the family. However, this also gave up the family's control over the South Wind Forest to a certain extent, and even the necessary early warning system was fragile.
.
This also caused the Lich fleet that year to advance at an extremely fast speed to the hinterland of the South Wind Forest after landing before encountering real resistance. But on the other hand, if we follow the example of the next door and build cities in a scattered manner, the small cities will
How to ensure safety? Taking Sunstorm Town as an example, will Adrian, his attendants and vassals be able to survive the Lich Fleet landing battle? This must be impossible, so the patriarch said:
"But Aidan, this is also for your safety. You don't have to worry about your property at all. You know, what is yours will always be yours, and the family will not get involved..."
Adrian waved his hand firmly: "No, Mr. Patriarch, of course I know what is mine will always be mine, but do you remember my grandfather? He sacrificed his life to save the young people in the family. Do you think his sacrifice was worth it?
? Since my grandfather can do it, then I can also regard myself as a wall of the family or even an early warning arrow. This is my firm idea."
The patriarch was moved by Adrian. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, asking: "Then what is your plan, Aidan, the family will fully support you, can you choose from Nibelungen?"
Walk the best freemen, that's the promise."
Adrian smiled slightly: "My plan is to recruit a thousand free people for the first time, but I will only recruit five hundred from within the family. For the other five hundred free people, I plan to recruit wild elves and wandering vassal races.
