Chapter 11 Ugly below
At the head of the long table sat the butler, who was able to handle a matter on Gordon's behalf when Gordon had not yet reached full maturity and had the authority to do so when Gordon was away. But in this meeting, although he was in the main position, he felt very isolated. Because the people around the conference table were all nobles, and even the representatives sent had at least one knight's status, and many small branch families were simply the head of the family in person.
The theme of the meeting was incredible, and it was to discuss whether it would be possible to 'lend' some sacrifices to the clansmen, so that the branch clans could also enjoy the divine grace of sacrifice and grow rapidly.
It's easy to "borrow" the offerings, but what's more? The old butler sat up straight, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the Akmunds present. Aside from Sauron, Goliath, and Ellie, is there any branch of the family that can afford even the lowest level of sacrifice?
In fact, if it weren't for Gordon's absolute strong entry into Faust and taking care of the surname Akmund into this city of wonders, the vast majority of people here would not even be qualified to enter Faust. Even if Sauron and Goliath wanted to sacrifice, they had to do it through the wealthy families of Guò Floating Island, and they had to pay a lot of money for it.
The people who put forward the motion and strongly supported it were all members of the side tribes, and the representatives of Sauron, Goliath, and Elijah, although they were also present at the meeting, were silent, neither agreeing nor opposing.
For a rare time, the people of the side branch were shrewd, and no one asked the opinion of the three most powerful Akmunds. At this sensitive hour, the weak Akmund is to be cannon fodder and rush to the front, so that he can get a piece of the pie. Although the big head will definitely be taken by the three Akmunds in the end, it is absolutely foolish to try to drag them into the water while they are still in the testing stage.
Stupid people don't live long, at least not enough to make them climb to high positions.
"We just borrowed a little sacrifice, and after getting the divine grace, the power is strong, and we will naturally return it!"
"Yes! ”
"If Gordon and Richard don't come back, will these sacrifices just be left there and moldy?
The sound of the venue became higher and higher, and the emotions became more and more intense, and a few well-intentioned people actually began to guide the topic to how the sacrifices should be distributed.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the old butler finally coughed a few times and said in a deep voice: "What I need to remind you is that this batch of sacrifices is from Deep Blue, which was designated by His Royal Highness Su Helen for Young Master Richard to use. Strictly speaking, they do not belong to Akmund, and if we appropriated them without permission, it would most likely anger the great Highness Suhelen. ”
There was silence in the conference room for a moment, and many people looked at me, and I looked at you again, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Su Helen's prestige is by no means a talk, and no matter how hot-headed and empty-eyed an idiot is, he knows that he can't provoke a legendary mage, especially if he doesn't have a righteous name.
After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man's eyes rolled and suddenly said, "What evidence do you have that these sacrifices are designated for Young Master Richard? Even if they are from Deep Blue, maybe they were given to the entire Akmund family by His Royal Highness Su Helen!"
"Yes, yes, and Master Richard has confirmed that he is lost in the turbulence of time, for sure...... Oh, I don't know when I'll be able to get back. Then even if these sacrifices originally belonged to Richard, they should now belong to the entire Akmund clan! We are all Akmund's people, so naturally we should also share a part of the sacrifice!"
The chorus became louder and louder, and the tone of the crowd became more and more natural.
The old butler sighed and said, "I think it's better to wait for Lord Gordon to return." ”
"What do you think?" a young and flamboyant young man said loudly with a disdainful face, "You are just a servant, what qualifications do you have to speak in this meeting?
"That's it, whatever we have reached, you just have to follow it!"
The sound became more and more surging, and the people who were shouting became more and more excited. Anyway, he had already torn his face, and one after another simply let go of his scruples and began to force the palace unscrupulously. Compared with offending Gordon, whose life and death are undecided, the opportunity to sacrifice is obviously much more precious. For these branches, it is simply a rebirth of Nirvana!
Although they have never sacrificed, and they are not even qualified to be spectators, countless legends about divine grace are like the fragrance of the heavenly snake fruit, and it seems that they can be reborn with just one bite and suddenly enter the legendary realm.
Bang!
The old butler slammed the table, and there was silence for a while!
The old butler was not a strong man, and many of the people present were able to seriously injure him with a single blow. He also has no glorious deeds, and most of his more than sixty years of career has been silently doing all kinds of trivial things for Akmund. Being able to sit here is more because of the trust and rights left by Gordon.
However, at this moment, people saw a trace of Gordon's shadow in the old butler!
All of a sudden, all the people who were in a clamor just now lost their voices.
The old butler's gaze brushed over the most clamoring people, snorted, and said coldly, "You are also worthy of calling yourself Akmund?"
"You!" These people were swept away by the old butler's gaze, and they subconsciously shrank at first, and then they reacted, jumped up in annoyance, and roared: "You are a subordinate, and you dare to insult the noble Akmund?"
The old butler ignored the roars of these men, but said in a low but firm voice, "I don't care where you got the news of these sacrifices. But here, I finally make it clear to you that these sacrifices belong to Master Richard. Anyone who wants to take it can only rely on the sword!"
This is tantamount to a declaration of war. Gordon left a number of guards on the floating islands, as well as a large number of infantry knights or quasi-constructed knights in training. However, most of the latter come from various branch families, and in the current situation, loyalty is in doubt. The old butler can only rely on the personal guards brought out by Gordon. But in any case, it can't change the passive situation of the lack of high-end force on the floating island.
Now, it doesn't make sense for even one or two of the thirteen knights to sit on a floating island, so Gordon will take all the knights on the expedition. There is not much value on the floating island, and whoever dares to attack the floating island will be destroyed immediately when the Gordon army returns.
The hall fell silent again, greed was not enough to completely drown reason, and the shadow that Gordon gave to the clan could not be eliminated in just half a month.
Many eyes turned to Baron Suya, as well as representatives of Goliath and Ellie. Now the situation can only be solved by these three powerful figures in Akmund. No matter how bold these branch families are, if they don't have a backer behind them, they won't dare to brazenly attack Gordon's personal guards. In that case, if it fails, it will be a disaster for the extinction of the species.
Baron Suya lowered his head and just focused on wiping the scabbard of the short sword in his hand, as if whatever was happening around him had nothing to do with him. It's just that if you look closely, you can see a trace of disdain in his eyes. And the representatives of Goliath and Ellie Jie did not say a word, as if they had nothing to do with the whole incident, but they did not hide their arrogance.
In their eyes, the so-called Akmunds in the chamber were nothing more than a bunch of monkeys jumping up and down, and the real Akmunds were arrogant, rude, and arrogant madmen, all fighting in all directions at the moment. They are willing to use blood and swords to open up space for survival, rather than relying on ** and conspiracy.
However, if Gordon really can't return, or if the situation is out of control, they don't mind 'borrowing' strategic resources for the time being. As for the group of monkeys in front of them, at that time, they will still be able to play the role of cannon fodder www.biquge.info the Fun Pavilion. But in front of him, it is obviously far from the time to ignore it.
None of the three parties took a stand, so those who roared didn't know how to end it, so the meeting ended abruptly. As he left the chamber, the old butler's spine stood taller than anyone else's!
But that's just the beginning, the monkeys are still on the floating islands. Because Gordon had ordered that many of the devices on the floating islands were open to the various branch families. Therefore, the old butler was powerless to drive them away.
Time is passing away, and the struggle continues in countless trivial matters. The monkeys tried to show their superiority on one occasion and took revenge on the old butler's assertions against them. But the old butler's words at the meeting quickly circulated.
"You are also worthy of the name Akmund?!"
Silently, I don't know from which day on, there will be more Akmund on the floating island. They carry the smell of blood and fire, have countless scars on their bodies, and even have indescribable ferocity and ** in their eyes. From their clothing and weapons, it can be seen that they come from all over the world, from the underworld, to lava fields, and to polar ice fields. But no matter where they come from, no matter how high or low they are, they all have one thing in common, and that is an extremely dangerous smell. There are not many of them, but when they are gathered, they are able to fight against thousands of troops!
After they came to the floating island, they lived in the most humble place, and it didn't matter what they ate, they just had enough to eat. Usually only seen in the training ground or patrol guard posts. Resting, guarding, and exercising is all they have to live. They seem to be idle and aimless.
No one but the old butler could command them.
These are some of the true beasts, also from the various branches of Akmund, and who call themselves Akmund as well. They came from all directions, no one to summon, no one to order. Individually, they are just a small drop or two, but when they come together, they become a surging undercurrent!
In front of them, even those monkeys with noble status have wisely chosen to take a detour.
They are the real Akmund.
