Two months later......

By Dr3713-04-19, the early summer sun was shining on the earth, making everything in the world brighter and more beautiful, with greener grass and more delicate flowers. In that quiet garden, there is an occasional refreshing wind blowing, and suddenly the shadows of the trees are swaying, and the flowers and plants are swaying, attracting the sound of cicadas.

"Good afternoon, grandparents."

At this moment, in the Council of Presbyterians in the Temple of the Sun, on the floating island of the Eternal City's second highest level, "God-given Land", Yugo Lombal was standing on the podium and greeting the more than fifty old men and old ladies present.

"Oh, my great-granddaughter has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful." "He looks like his father." "Where's the like? You Jiawen is a rude robber, and I see that she is the handsome inheritor of our Gresham family. ”

"No, she's only one-sixteenth of your Gresham's blood, and no matter what, it's grandma's generation, unlike our Cremans family, she has one-eighth of her blood, and if you look at her eyes, she looks very much like her grandmother......" "You two fart, she looks like our Modleton family." "Eh, how do you swear." "Old friend, pay attention to your image." "I'll just scold you, what's wrong?" "Disrespectful to the old." "Old fool!" "Stop arguing, it's meeting time."

"The eighth granddaughter is so old, why didn't she invite me when she got married? It's so disrespectful to the elders, I'm going to spank her......" muttered a skinny old woman with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Ah......" reminded another chubby, kind-looking old woman, "have you forgotten that she is now the princess of the Templars, and according to our tradition, she cannot be married. ”

"Really? You didn't lie to me, although the old woman is one hundred and ninety-seven years old this year, she is not confused. The old woman looked up tremblingly and said. Although his face was covered with wrinkles as deep as a knife, his turquoise eyes were full of brilliance. If you look at it from the eyes alone, you can't tell that she is an old man who is nearly two hundred years old.

"I didn't lie to you, and ......," said the relatively young old woman, "this year is 3713, and you are already one hundred and ninety-eight years old. ”

"You didn't lie to me...... "What did I lie to you?" "Third granddaughter, you are disrespectful to your elders, I will spank you." "No, I was wrong......"

The old man and the old lady below were talking to each other, and it was noisy, even more chaotic than the anniversary tea party.

Seeing this, You Ge's eyes rolled, and then he cleared his voice, faced the only young man present, and said solemnly, "Cousin William, good afternoon." ”

"Good afternoon, cousin You Ge, you are getting more and more beautiful." The man she called immediately stood up and responded politely. This is a handsome man with blonde hair and blue eyes, who looks a little similar to Brian Reinhardt that day, but with a calmer temperament and deeper eyes. He is none other than William Reinhardt, the first heir to the family of Reinhardt in the Lion City.

And what is sighing is that William, as a great nobleman of Silver City, does not have a single star of psionic talent in his blood. However, although he is just an ordinary human, he is quick and thoughtful, and is known as the "military advisor", along with "Eva Green" and "Fox" Elvis Shelley, known as the Three Roses of the Temple.

Among them, Elvis Shelley, the Red Rose, was known for his high military literacy and strong tactical awareness, and was the deputy chief of the general staff of the Templar Crusaders; Eva Green, the White Rose, was known for her erudition and knowledge, and was then the Marshal Clerk of the Dawn Expeditionary Force; William Rose, on the other hand, was known for his steadfastness, forethought, and clarity of strategic vision, and was then Assistant Secretary General of the Templar Ministry of the Interior.

Due to the withering of the Reinhardt family, several generations have not been able to reach the Holy Order. And the absence of the Holy Rank means that the life span is short. Now, their current head of the house is old and frail, so he has to let William attend the presbyterian church in his place.

Although the Reinhardt family had many Holy Order staff, there was none in the family, just like a leafy supertree, but the trunk began to decay and hollow, as if it would be crushed by the dense and heavy canopy at any time. Unlike other established families such as Lombar, Modleton, Gresham, and Kremans, the Reinhardts have risen to prominence for a short time, less than three hundred years. And what really made them ascend to the throne and become one of the eleven nobles in the world was not force, but gold coins.

The Reinhardt family was originally a commercial family, not a traditional military family. In its heyday, Reinhardt's family was so wealthy that it was known as the "Golden Lion of the West", and the world's top ten nobles, including the Temple and Notre Dame, were their debtors.

During the Glorious War, they quickly chose sides, providing a large amount of money to the Psionic Alliance and the Templars. It has to be said that in that great war, they contributed a lot. Subsequently, in order to offset the astronomical debts, the world's top ten nobles squeezed out part of the land, making the Reinhardt family the world's eleventh noble.

However, because of the way they reached the top, which was very different from the nobility's martial tradition, the Reinhardts were privately referred to as the "speculative family", or "the bought throne". All in all, contempt is on the surface, and there are many talented families who want to replace it.

A hundred years ago, they had married many nobles, including Lombal and Modleton, but for some reason, perhaps because of impure blood, or for other unknown reasons, there were very few psionics in their family. To this day, the Reinhardt family is still rich in the world, but the withering of talents has always plagued them.

At this time, the sound of You Ge and William greeting each other attracted the attention of the old man and the old lady, and the venue suddenly fell silent.

Taking advantage of this gap, You Ge hurriedly announced, "Today is the summer meeting of the Council of Elders, please grandparents...... There is also a cousin who proposes a bill. ”

"Support Cousin You Ge." William's voice was warm and peaceful, but what he said was a little "brain-dead".

When You Ge called him just now, he deliberately omitted the word "far away", so he naturally couldn't look rusty. His distant cousin only cleaned up his third brother, who was one of her distant cousins, some time ago. A few days ago, the newspapers were bombarded with lace news: "The lion apologizes to the wolf", "The knight from the wilderness conquered the lion of the West", "How to drag the lion to run ......" and so on. Although the nobles of Yincheng are more or less related to each other, and even lived together when they were children, they are more ruthless than one when they compete for interests. When necessary, let alone cousins, even brothers will fight to the death, as for distant cousins, let alone distant cousins......

Yugo Lombard has been notorious since childhood, known as the "Little Devil of the North", and he could hear her deeds across the Atlantic Ocean as far away as the western continent. This is also the reason why the third lady of the Lombal family is very beautiful, but no one is willing to provoke it so far. Her aura of "little devil" has long made this generation of Silver City nobles ignore her beauty. There are two reasons why she bullied his brother Brian some time ago, one is to advertise for her little lover, and the other is to retaliate against him at the beginning of the year when she passed the bill "Development and Production of Limited Recovery Mechanical Power Armor".

At the time, he was only concerned with opposing the proposal of the Crescent Alliance, but he forgot about the attitude of the Templar Pope St. Augustine Maudleton. Although he suffered a dumb loss, it was against the interests of the Reinhardt family to confront the princess of the Templar who was in full swing. Since the other party has extended an olive branch and has the opportunity to repair the relationship, he naturally can't let it go, so as not to be targeted by her again in the future.

Since ancient times, the strength of the big nobles is not comparable to the small nobles, and the Far Easterners say that "the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife" is only a matter of conflict of interests in the eyes of the great nobles of Yincheng. If the two sides reconcile, even the greatest hatred will be eliminated.

"There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." This ancient Western saying can be said to fundamentally reflect the values of the great nobles of Yincheng.

And those who are "narrow-minded and will repay their eyes" are usually small and medium-sized nobles. You must know that a person who values temporary gains and losses more than anything else will not be able to achieve much in his life. In ancient times, the Far Easterners once regarded a sentence as a classic, saying that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge." However, life is a long road, and I am thinking about hatred, what can I do?

It is precisely because they are broad-minded and long-term visioned that the great nobles of Yincheng, who have been inherited from ancient times, can stand tall in the world, and will not fall for thousands of years and last for thousands of years. However, things in the world cannot always be generalized, and the reason why they are so open-minded is because they occupy most of the world's resources. Ordinary people's lifelong efforts may not be able to exchange for a single hair of their cold.

The fundamental reason why ordinary people don't have much gas is because they don't have much to lose. Just like the eight-year-old iron slag, losing the iron old man is equivalent to losing most of the world, and you will face loneliness and death. If someone takes everything from him, how can he not hate?

After You Ge finished the announcement, there was silence in the venue for a while, and no one seemed willing to take the lead in proposing. At this time, a gray-haired old man stood up and said loudly, "Since everyone doesn't ask questions, let's start with old decay."

"Grandpa Bruno, please." You Ge smiled slightly and said. This old man's name is Leo Bruno, and he is two hundred and sixty-seven years old, and he is one of the few Holy Order powerhouses in the Templar Council who has participated in the last great battle.

"A few days ago, when my grandson was reading the newspaper, I heard that Central Heavy Industry was developing a mechanical power armor fueled by black oil, here, I want to ask ......" Speaking of this, the old man's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, he looked around the audience, and said in a deep voice, "Is it that over the years, everyone's life has been too comfortable and comfortable, so that ......" The old man suddenly raised his voice, widened his eyes, and shouted, "You have all forgotten the glorious battle!" ”

In the midst of the shouting, there was silence in the venue, as if even the light sound of breathing was deliberately suppressed......
