Godsend Field

Chapter 184
The night was quiet, and Si Ni was still looking at the ledger.

"Stinky boy, look how pitiful Si Ni is alone, even Lier has gone to help, why don't you help!" Qin'er said angrily.

Tianci looked at Xiao Benben, who was busy with the books, and Lier, who was helping, and sighed, "Actually, I told them that the difference is 65. If they don't believe it, they have to do the math themselves!"

"You said that 65 is 65! I don't believe it, do you want to make a bet?" Qin'er puffed her cheeks and said.

God sent a smile, "Okay, bet, I like it! Just say what you want to bet on!"

"If it's 65, I'll promise you one thing. If not, you can do whatever I want you to do?" Qin'er said, with a gleam of gleam in her eyes.

"My lord, this is unfair to you!" Chen Wu immediately protested.

"Okay, I agree! And I can propose now, if it is 65, you can't waste another purple gold coin within a year! Of course, necessary consumption is not counted!"

Qin'er was overjoyed, and stretched out her little finger, "It's a deal!"

Tianci also stretched out his little finger and pulled Qin'er. This is the agreed way of children on the mainland. Anyone who pulls their fingers cannot go back on their word, otherwise they will not have a friend.

Qin'er is in a good mood at this moment, I don't believe it will be so accurate that it is 65, you just wait to be punished by me, think about what it is better to ask him to do?Do my laundry?pull cart?

"My lord, are you..." Chen Wu asked worriedly.

Tianci smiled confidently at the morning mist, and walked towards Gauss, "Gauss, now that the eight elders know that we have obtained the accounts, will they take the risk and do something that is not good for us?"

"No, first of all, they have sent word that the family meeting will be held at noon tomorrow. Furthermore, these personal guards in the elder's mansion can't threaten us at all, and the other three guards are outside. In a short time I can't come back, and even if I do, I don't know who I will listen to. Although I haven't been in contact with these personal guards for a long time, I am still the commander of the personal guards after all!" Gauss said.

"Then will they run away?"

"No, if they run away, their families and entire collaterals in the fief will be implicated. Besides, where can they go? As long as they are in the empire, we will be able to find them out. I don't think they will How long will it take to come here to beg the young master in person!"

After a while, a Jin Juwei ran into the house and said, "Leader, just now the eight elders sent people to inform that the young master can attend the family meeting tomorrow, and Elder Sanna will personally preside over the baptism for the young master to inherit the young patriarch tomorrow! "

Gauss and Tianci looked at each other and smiled, so fast?
Nero nodded, "Go and tell them, I will attend on time tomorrow!"

The east is white, and the sun is slightly exposed.

Everyone didn't feel sleepy that night, and they paid close attention to Si Ni's progress, especially Qin'er.After a night of calculations, Si Ni finally got the result, "Because the time was too short, I didn't check the previous ones, but only last month. All the taxes in the fief last month amounted to two taels and 25 purple gold coins." , 160 million purple gold coins were reported, and 65 purple gold coins were embezzled by them!"

"What, 65? Little Benben, did you make a mistake!" Qin'er exclaimed immediately.

"No, I was afraid of making a mistake, so I checked it three times, and it won't be wrong!" Si Ni quickly explained.

Tianci looked at Qin'er with a grin, "I said cousin, are you..."

Qin'er's face tensed, "Hmph! This princess is willing to gamble and admit defeat, isn't it just that she won't waste purple gold coins for a year? What's the big deal!"

Tianci imitated the way Qin'er stretched out her hand to ask for the purple gold coin that day, and stretched out her right hand to hook it.

"Huh!" Qin'er pouted her mouth, and a bag of purple gold coins appeared in her hand with a slight movement of her jade hand. "I only have so many now, and they are all here!"

Tianci unceremoniously snatched the purple gold coins from Qin'er's hand, not minding Qin'er's vicious gaze, "Little stupid, take these purple gold coins, you have won them!"

After breakfast, Si Ni and Li'er, who hadn't slept all night, felt a little sleepy. They went back to the attic to rest, and Qin'er and Chen Wu also went to rest.Tianci's body was nourished by the blue light, and he didn't feel tired at all.

Nero wore a brand new dress with the prominent Kate family logo on it.

After noon, Tianci and Nero, accompanied by Gauss, walked towards the clan ancestral hall, followed by ten golden chrysanthemum guards, and the remaining golden chrysanthemum guards protected Lier and others outside the attic.

The other courtyard where the clan ancestral hall is located has already been overcrowded, and the number of people who came to watch the baptism last time was seven or eight times higher than that of the last time.There are also quite a few people who came here specially. I heard that some bloody incidents happened yesterday, and today the eight elders will join forces to interrogate the direct descendants who came from the capital and failed to become the young patriarch.

Nero was at the forefront, followed by Tianci and Gauss.

The inside of the ancestral hall has been cleaned completely, leaving no trace of yesterday's bloody battle.

Seeing Nero's arrival, the eight elders in front became very enthusiastic at this time, and even made an exception and came out to greet him!

"Elders, how did you rest yesterday? There are so many people here today, so..." Nero asked with a smile.

The elders smiled disapprovingly, "They are all members of our Kate family. We specially called them here today because we want them to watch the christening ceremony of the young master together!"

Looking at the eight hypocritical smiling faces, Tianci turned his head away in disdain.

When Ni Luo and the others stood up, Elder Sanna tremblingly walked forward with the support of Elder Andrew, with a hoarse old voice, "Everyone, please be quiet! We invite everyone to come today, just to hope that everyone can bear witness, Witness the birth of our new young patriarch, the baptism of the future patriarch Nero Kate! Maybe everyone is wondering why our elders opposed the baptism of Nero Kate two days ago, but today we support it What about him? In fact, the reason is very simple. Our Kate family is not a small family, but a big family. The number one family in the empire, the people who become our patriarchs all have strong beliefs and great qualities. Our embarrassment on that day was nothing more than a test, a test, for the future young patriarch. I am here to announce to everyone that Nero Kate passed our test, and he is qualified to become our young patriarch , the future patriarch!"

"Wow!" The crowd below was noisy, many people cheered for the young patriarch, the future patriarch, but more people looked at the elder and the young patriarch in bewilderment. . .Confused!There's so much going on these days, it's confusing!

"Okay, our baptism begins now!" Elder Sanna walked into the ancestral hall trembling, his feet softened within two steps, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Elder Andrew held him up.

Elder Osai also came out to support Elder Sanna, "Elder Sanna is old and sick, and the next ceremony will be completed by our elders. Hurry up and help Elder Sanna go down to rest!"

The surrounding guards quickly stepped up and helped Elder Sanna back to his residence.

As in the previous baptism, four of the eight elders were inside and four were outside.

Nero walked up to the bronze statue of the ancestors respectfully, knelt down, and kowtowed.

"I swear by my soul that from today I will officially become a member of the Kate family. I will strictly abide by the family rules and protect them with my whole life. I will engrave Kate's glory in my heart and use my blood to defend . . . "

"...I will face my heart honestly and face life bravely. I will not bow to any difficulty, and I will not yield to any enemy. I will guide my way forward with the spirit of my ancestors..."

"...Even if there is still darkness ahead, even if there is no light ahead, I still believe in the road under my feet, and I still stride forward with a straight chest, because my body is full of noble blood, because my name is respected by the world... .”

Nero knelt in front of the bronze statue, and recited loudly along with Elder Weida, with a resounding voice.

"...In the end, no matter where I go, I will never forget that the noble blood of the Kate family flows in my body, and I exude the noble temperament of the Kate family. I am proud of Kate, and I will live my whole life !"

"New member of the Kate family, Nero Kate! Welsh Empire XX, XX, XX!"

After Nero finished his recitation, Elder Weida next to him handed over a shiny dagger. Sawyer took the dagger and stroked it lightly on his index finger. A drop of bright red blood dripped into the golden bowl on the ground. , Nile's blood quickly melted into the blood in the bowl after dripping.

Returning to the clan with blood is complete!

"I, Nero Kate, I swear by blood, and learn by blood!"

After everything was done, Nero stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall, feeling finally relaxed.Tianci rushed up happily and hugged Nero tightly.

The clansmen below applauded.

Elder Orsay walked up to Nero, "The baptism of the family is complete, and the succession ceremony of the young patriarch is now going on! Please-genea-tree!"

The clansman fell silent, and looked into the ancestral hall with all eyes.

Elder Hawking of Ayton City and Elder Fenler of Dallas City walked forward with both hands carrying a carved wooden frame, and the rest of the elders guarded the two sides.The two elders carefully put the wooden frame in place. Elder Osai stretched out his hand and lifted the silk, and saw two thick genealogy books placed in the middle of the wooden frame.Elder Orsay stood in front of the genealogy, and the rest of the elders quickly stood behind Elder Orsay, kneeling and kowtowing respectfully, and many clansmen below also kowtowed one after another. Nero had to kneel and kowtow, Tianci and Gauss stood aside.

After kowtowing three times, Elder Ao Sai stood up and carefully held the larger family tree in his hand.

On the mainland, generally for large families, the genealogy is divided into two parts.One is called a detailed record, which records the information of each child in the family, including name, gender, date of birth, both parents, and so on.This genealogy does not distinguish between foreign races or direct descendants, as long as it is considered to have family blood, it will be recorded on it.However, for the convenience of recording, they are all recorded in the form of certain collaterals. The entire record is like an upside-down tree. The first few generations are relatively small, but after that, there are countless leaves on the crown of the tree.However, there is another habit in the detailed genealogy. If the children are born to the men in the family, they will be regarded as members of the family. If the children are born to the women in the family, they can also be recorded as family members without entering other families. People in the same family, the offspring of the son are still in the same family, and the offspring of the woman cannot become members of the same family, because the blood is weak.

For Nero, he is Jane's biological son, so he can enter the family.

In addition to the detailed genealogy, the other is the patriarchal genealogy.The patriarchal genealogy is not made of ordinary paper, but is bound with special thick paper that has been strengthened and anti-corrosion treated by alchemists.For the family, the patriarch's genealogy is much more important than the detailed genealogy. All the patriarchs or young patriarchs recorded on it are the real pillars of the family.

Elder Osay opened the patriarchal genealogy inlaid with gold thread in his hand, and every time he turned a page, he would read aloud the name, birth and death of the patriarch recorded on it, as well as some information such as his life. Dare to breathe, let alone disrespect.

"The first patriarch - Lanches •; Kate!, was born in XX of the empire and died in XX at the age of 8226. The first patriarch's talent was beyond normal and he was rare and successful, in..."

. . . . . .

"No.20 The first patriarch——Resal·; Kate and his wife Hicili! Resal·; Kate was born in XX of the empire and died in XX at the age of 8226. The patriarch is gentle, kind and wise. Mrs. Chihili was born in XX of the empire and died in XX at the age of 8226. Although the grandma was a woman, she was able to bear the burden of humiliation and support the whole family by herself. The grandma was wise and intelligent, nurturing the younger generation all her life... "

The pages continued to turn until the current patriarch, Dreis Kate, was blank except for her birthday.

Elder Orsay then turned over a page, only to see the name of the young patriarch Al Kate written on it, but the word died was written on the back.Seeing the bright red name, Gauss felt a dull pain in his heart, and his face twitched involuntarily.

"Now officially invite the young patriarch to enter the patriarch's list!!" Elder Osai shouted with a long tail.

Ni Luo walked in front of the patriarch's genealogy. Elder Andrew held a pen in one hand and the blood dripped just now in the other.

Elder Osay looked at Nero and whispered, "We have already given you what you want, so what do we want?"

Nero smiled and put a ring on Elder Orsay's finger. Elder Orsay closed his eyes slightly and nodded. Then Elder Andrew handed the pen and blood to Nero.Nero picked up the pen and quickly wrote his name on the other side of the blank with blood on it - Nero •;; Kate!

. . . . . .

Back in the attic, it was already evening.Constantly receiving the worship and blessings of the clansmen made Nero exhausted, and the eight elders looked like roosters who had lost a fight, and could only stand aside and look at Nero viciously.

Tianci stood beside him. Although he failed to complete the baptism, Nero finally became the new head of the young patriarch smoothly, and what his mother told him was finally completed!

Li'er and the others had already woken up, and they were in exceptionally good spirits.

"Nile, you returned all the accounts to them, how can you condemn them after that!"

Nero shook his head, "I don't intend to criminalize them according to the clan. I think after I spare them this time, they will also restrain themselves. In a few years, I will arrange new elders to replace them."

"Brother Tianci, do you still want to be baptized? With the current situation, I don't think the elders will object!" Lier asked softly.

Everyone looked at Tianci, and Tianci thought for a while, "I think it's better to forget it. If I can become an elder to help Nero, then I can still consider it. But it is impossible for me without blood to become an elder. It's useless for the patriarch to say, so I think it's better to forget it, at least it will be easier now!"

"Hmph, how many people in the Welsh Empire dream of becoming a member of the Kate family, you are better off, you don't even want to give it to you!" Qin'er said with a smile.

"This is also the preciousness of the young master! No matter what happens in the future, in our Jin Juwei's heart, you will always be our young master!" Gao Si rarely praised.

"Since this is the case, can it be said that we should go back?"

Tianci nodded, "Should be able to go back, do you miss your grandpa?"

Lier nodded, "Think about it a little bit!"

"Brother, can you stay for a few more days before returning?" Nero said suddenly.

Everyone stared at Nero, "Is there anything else you haven't done?"

Nero shook his head, "Actually... Actually, I want to go to Xilan Mountain!"

"Xilan Mountain Peak?" Everyone was surprised.

"Young patriarch, it is extremely dangerous for monsters to appear on Xilan mountain peak, and it is too close to Donglan valley, so it's better not to go there!" Gauss persuaded.

"Yeah, why don't you wait until you are promoted to two levels of battle qi, and then how about my father and I going with you?" Tianci also persuaded.

Seeing everyone's concerned expressions, Nero had no choice but to give up!
Everyone went back to the room to rest, Tianci sat alone in the yard, under the consciousness, only found a few nearby Jin Juwei vigilantly guarding.The personal guards who were patrolling around seemed to regard this place as a demon hell, and bypassed it far away.

"Brother! You haven't slept yet!" Nero walked to Tianci and asked.

"Well, why don't you take a break? You've been exhausted all day today!" Tianci said with concern.

"I can not sleep!"

"Can't sleep? Are you still thinking about the Xilan Mountain?"

"Well, brother, in fact, I have had a special feeling since I was very young. I often feel that something is calling me. Originally, this feeling was not particularly strong, but since I came to the fief, this feeling The feeling started to be very strong, almost every day when I sleep, I will feel this way!"

Tianci was surprised, "Why didn't you mention it to us before?"

"Because it was not very strong at that time, and I felt like I was dreaming, but these days are different, it feels very real!"

"Very true... what do you mean?"

"Brother, I feel that the thing that summoned me is here, on the Xilan Mountain Peak, so I have to go there myself!"
