The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 484 Promise
In the magnificent City Lord's Mansion in Dawn City, the atmosphere was a little solemn.

Members of the Sacred Twenty-Eight gathered, including the Weasley family.

They were either sitting or standing, with different expressions, but all of them had the pride and reserve unique to pure-blood families.

"Lucius, why did you call us here? To show off?"

The patriarch of the Nott family was the first to attack, his tone full of dissatisfaction and questioning.

For these pure-blood nobles who have always lived a life of luxury, now they have fallen into living with ordinary wizards and have lost their spacious and luxurious manors. The resentment in their hearts has already accumulated to the extreme.

"Of course not," Lucius said slowly with a confident smile on his face, "It's a good thing."

Then he revealed Wes's plan.

"Attack another world?" Everyone gasped when they heard this.

"A world very similar to ours, with London?"

They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion, and exchanged glances, but no one spoke immediately.

"I'm telling you this news in advance because you're all from the Sacred Twenty-Eight Clans."

Lucius was somewhat displeased by the cold reactions of the crowd, and emphasized, "This is rare good news."

"Hmph~" The patriarch of the Prewitt family snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "This is not good news at all. It still requires us to contribute manpower and manpower."

"No, no," Lucius shook his finger slightly, still smiling, "Leave the fighting to those lunatics."

Everyone understood that the "madmen" Lucius was referring to were the dark wizards.

Seeing that everyone was still skeptical, Lucius stopped keeping them in suspense.

"After conquering that world, Lord Erwin will need someone to manage it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up instantly except Arthur Weasley.

They were all smart people and immediately understood the meaning of Lucius' words.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Chief Rosier asked impatiently, his voice filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"Of course, my friends," Lucius's gaze slowly swept across everyone's face, his eyes filled with temptation, "all it will cost you is a small price."

【It’s not that simple.】

Everyone pondered in their hearts.

"What price?"

"The magic and scriptures passed down from generation to generation in your families."

Lucius' words startled everyone, and then they fell into hesitation.

These magic spells and classics are important family heritages that have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years. Some of these classics and magic spells are even only qualified to be viewed and learned by the head of the family. They are the foundation and pride of the family.

"Everyone, don't you want to be a king and rule a country?"

Lucius dropped another bombshell, trying to break everyone's hesitation.

“???” Hearing this, some people’s breathing began to quicken, their eyes filled with struggle and desire.

"You mean, we can establish our own country?" asked a patriarch in disbelief.

"Of course! Your Excellency is very generous."

Lucius answered affirmatively.

This time, everyone was completely moved.

The so-called pure-blood families and the twenty-eight sacred clans became rootless duckweed after leaving their original world. The names they once took pride in are now just names.

In the eyes of the demigod Weiss, they were essentially no different from ordinary wizards. They had been here for so long, yet they had never even seen Weiss, which was enough to show that Weiss didn't attach any special importance to them.

Besides, if Weiss really wanted what they had, how could they keep it?

It would be better to use this time to exchange these so-called family inheritances for something tangible and useful.

The pure-blooded pride and reserve of the past instantly became worthless in the face of absolute strength and huge interests.

At this moment, they are just like the old men and women bargaining in the market. In order to choose a good place in the future new world, they are all blushing and haggling over every penny.

However, in all this commotion, only Arthur Weasley did not join in.

In fact, he didn't want to come to the City Lord's Mansion from the beginning.

At this moment, he was sitting alone quietly on the sofa, holding a wine glass in his hand, drinking slowly, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and indifference.

"What? Not at all." Lu
Hughes noticed that Arthur was different. He walked over with a look of curiosity and confusion on his face.

"That's not the path a Weasley should take."

Arthur shook his head slightly, his tone firm and calm.

His eyes looked through the wine glass, as if he saw the family's heritage and persistence.

Faced with such temptation, he was still able to maintain his original heart. Lucius couldn't help but admire the man in front of him whom he had always looked down upon.

He knew that the Weasley twins had studied alchemy with Wes, and that Wes admired the twins very much and even spent Christmas at the Burrow.

"In fact, considering your relationship with adults..."

Lucius tries to remind Arthur that their family's relationship with Wes might bring more benefits.

"He is no longer the same Professor Erwin."

Arthur sighed deeply.

Wes is no longer the same person he used to be. After going through all sorts of things, the once amiable professor has embarked on a completely different path.

At this time, the rest of the people had finally divided the "cake" and were all smiling happily, as if they had already seen a glorious future of becoming the ruler of a country.

They are immersed in fantasies of future power and wealth, but ignore the huge risks that may be hidden behind it.

In the study, Lucius stood quietly in front of the window, looking through the window at the backs of the pure-blood family members leaving.

"Father, don't you need to send them off?"

Draco asked softly.

At this time, Draco had not yet fully understood the complex relationships and conflicts of interest among the adults. These elders from pure-blood families had always been important figures in the family's social circle.

"Draco, from today on we are no longer from the same world as them."

Lucius turned his head slightly and looked at his son's young and energetic face.

Draco didn't understand what was going on. He frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.

The connections between families are always close and complex, so how could they suddenly be in different worlds?
But he didn't ask any more questions, because he knew his father must have his reasons for saying that.

"You'll understand later," Lucius looked at his son without further explanation.

Some things can only be truly understood after experiencing them.

"Starting tomorrow, work beside me. You have a lot to learn."

Lucius' voice softened a little and he patted Draco's shoulder.

Draco nodded understandingly, he knew that his father was going to start training him.

Although he still had many questions in his mind, he felt a surge of excitement and anticipation, and he longed to shoulder the family responsibilities like his father.
