The small castle of white stone bricks was built on the hillside. A long wall surrounded the land. The interior was like a park, with thick tree crowns and blooming flowers everywhere. Even in autumn, it was not cold in the courtyard.
, because there is heat circulation underground.
The ancestors of the Anemii family loved flowers and spent a lot of money to hire alchemists to dig geothermal pipes. The water flow into the ground and then back to the surface can bring a certain amount of heat, ensuring a certain temperature even in the cold winter.
The beautiful building on the hillside is brightly lit.
Wearing a bright yellow dress, Feng Na walked through the corridor with guards standing guard, and then knocked on the door of a room. After a while, the door opened, revealing a lively scene inside. A dozen senior executives of the chamber of commerce were sitting in a small hall.
, and Noyes, the head of the Anemii family, sat at the top.
Noyce is only in his early forties this year and is in his prime. He usually handles affairs in the Chamber of Commerce very well. If it weren't for the civil strife in West Wind, Anemii could be said to be prosperous in these years, so he also developed the character of Feng Nai.
A carefree character. After all, his father had taken care of everything, so it was not her turn to worry.
"Father, I'm here." Feng Nai raised her skirt and bowed, then walked into the hall with a little curiosity and sat on the chair at the bottom.
"Mr. Noyce, the Nisos family has fully taken action. Lord Fenton has also deployed manpower in several areas in the east as previously agreed, and has blocked the east gate of Hopeland."
"Very good, how about Tisiphone?"
"Tisiphone has also sent people to control the north gate. Most of the northern districts are workshops and poor people. Their methods will be tougher."
Feng Nai was a little confused when he heard these words. What was he doing? Why was the city gate closed? Also, when did their family get so close to Nissus and Tisiphone?
Just when she was about to ask, Noyce also spoke. He had short dark red hair and his brown-black pupils were bright in the candlelight.
"Coupled with the closed west gate of Hopeland on our side and the patrol teams of three houses on the city wall, the only exit of Hopeland now is the dock in the south."
"Yes, sir, there are not many ships on the pier, and there are not many big ships. Even if someone leaves by boat, not many people can leave." A guard wearing armor said in response.
"But why don't we send people to seal off the pier?" A steward was confused.
"No need." Noyce shook his head.
"Our ultimate goal is to control Hopelaner. Those who are disobedient and powerful can be left by boat."
"This can also reduce bloodshed and conflicts. After all, we will continue to develop based on Hopelaner for a long time in the future. We cannot go too far."
"Your Excellency is wise." Several stewards present began to compliment him again. After the initial nervousness, everyone in the small hall also relaxed a little.
"Father." Feng Na finally waited for a free opportunity and asked.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Her long, light red hair was placed on an exquisite dress, with the tips in a spiral shape. The overall look was luxurious and elegant.
Noyce looked at Feng Na lovingly, and then explained what happened and the fact that they were now united with Tisiphone and the Nissus family.
"Tisiphone?" Feng Nao frowned.
During the recent period, Noyce invited Adeley to visit several times. Adeley has changed a lot compared to before. He actually showed off his cooking skills, which made Feng Nai change his senses a lot.
But what happened today made her feel disgusted again. Did Tisiphone like to conspire so much? The good impression that had originally begun to bud had disappeared.
"What about the Carites and Helis families?" Feng Nai asked.
Noyce did not answer immediately, but a senior executive from the Chamber of Commerce next to him answered Fengano's question.
"If they are willing to cooperate and not resist, we will not make things difficult for them."
"But what if they don't want to?" Feng Nai was a little worried about his friend Mei Lu.
"Then it's not up to them." A guard captain replied in a low voice.
"Fengano, are you worried about Melu?" Noyce looked at his only daughter.
"Well, a little bit." Feng Na nodded and looked at his father for help.
She and Mei Lu have been playing together since childhood. Although they often quarrel, they actually have a very good relationship.
"I know, so I told them before not to hurt Miss Melu. After the matter is over, we can also send Melu to live in another country and ensure that she lives a wealthy life. How about this?"
"Thank you father"
Feng Na breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her worries, because her father had never let her down. As long as his father promised, he would definitely do it. As for the other things he said later, she didn't care much.
Unlike Meilu, who has been under family pressure since she was a child, Fengano suffered almost no setbacks during her growth. Her doting and leisurely life gave her a lot of time to pursue her personal hobbies, and she also had a natural confidence and pride.
Bloom like flowers, shine like gems.
She is also a very famous eldest lady in the entire Verga Business Alliance. She is sought after by many heirs of the Chamber of Commerce. Her reputation has spread far and wide, and she has become the natural spokesperson for her own jewelry.
In the dark and dripping basement, a young apprentice was tied to a pillar. The blue alchemical light illuminated the bloody laboratory. A piece of cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and he could only make a simple moan.
The alchemy master Zenep, who had talked with Lorraine Hill before, stood in the laboratory. He stood quietly in front of a huge gray golem, watching the thick and towering body move slowly, and the golem's eyes flashed.
Bursts of blue light, he shouted excitedly.
"Finally, I finally succeeded, hahaha, hahaha."
The crazy voice echoed in the dark underground, and then he let go of his left hand, and a blood-stained head rolled to the ground. This living head was none other than one of the previous clerks, one of his apprentices.
The dead head has wide eyes, an expression of disbelief and fear.
Seeing this scene, the tied young man next to him struggled even more fiercely.
But the alchemist with his back turned to him didn't care about such a trivial matter. He slowly walked forward and gently touched the gray and hard demon statue, as if he was the most beloved lover.
"They all looked down on me back then. I originally thought that we were both good friends, but I didn't know until that day that they looked down on me from the bottom of their hearts, but they just didn't say it for the sake of face."
"I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid. Their family background is hundreds of times better than mine. After playing with them for a long time, I really thought they were friends."
"I'm not worthy enough to follow them like a clown."
"However, I must prove myself. Even if I am kicked out of the college and cannot graduate successfully, I will prove myself that you are wrong after all."
"And I am the one who is right."
"The information unearthed from the ruins and the secret techniques of the Mercury Dynasty will surely set off a new revolution, and this new type of demon will sweep everything away."
"And I will definitely slap those people in the face!"
"Why, why did you insult me so much back then and call me so humble and despicable, woo woo woo..."
He started crying as he talked, with tears streaming down his face, as if he was venting his years of frustration, unwillingness, and hatred.
As for the gray demon statue standing quietly in front of him, the lines on his body were flowing with brilliance in sequence, spreading outward from the chest and spreading throughout the body, until finally it illuminated the golden swords behind him.
