"Sense of propriety, your sense of propriety is to act recklessly...wait, what did you just say?" Nancy suspected that she had heard some information in hallucination.
"Weilin's problem has been solved. She has now returned to the safe sea. She can return to the land smoothly before the return permit disappears. The mooring location is set at the wasteland below."
"......ah?"
Nancy was stunned. She pinched Chu Yan's face in confusion, then looked at the weather, wondering if she had fallen asleep on the road and was now dreaming.
Chu Yan felt helpless and amused by his aunt's reaction, so he simply told her what had happened in the past few days.
However, the matter of [Harmony] was concealed, and instead, they used words like "Aifalyn is in a hot state, and the blessing of the Grand Nun is full" to explain how the effect of the "artificial beacon" was created here.
Half believing and half doubting, Nancy still chose to believe Chu Yan's words.
Although she had just come here through wind and rain, feeling the will in Chu Yan's words, the aunt was still willing to accompany him back again.
I am Weilin's adopted sister, so I am not an outsider in this matter.
However, Nancy looked at a certain beautiful blonde woman suspiciously and asked:
"Chu Yan, is it really okay to let Ai Falin go with us?"
Aunt, things are different now!
Chu Yan couldn't tell the truth, so his gaze turned to a strange purple-haired woman in the team.
She has a beautiful face, with a mysterious beauty like the quiet night. Her cherry-colored lips are tied up with a harmless and gentle smile. She is a woman with an elegant and quiet temperament.
But, I always feel that her gaze is... a little dangerous?
Chu Yan instinctively caught a sense of familiarity, but there was indeed not much impression of this woman in his memory.
"Aunt Nancy, who is this lady?"
When asked, Nancy looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain that she really didn't want this woman to contact Chu Yan.
The purple-haired woman stepped forward, shook hands with Chu Yan gracefully and politely, and said:
"My name is Tiffany. After I saved Nancy, I fled to Paradise with her. Your mother Weilin and I are old friends. I even held you in my arms when you were little!"
Hearing her say this, Chu Yan felt more favorable towards this woman, but he didn't notice that Aunt Nancy was ashamed at this moment.
Tiffany did not take the initiative to reveal her identity to Chu Yan. Instead, she approached Chu Yan in an unfamiliar identity, which made Nancy even more worried. She didn't know what Tiffany was trying to do!
Afarin keenly smelled a hint of possessiveness. She crossed her arms and said:
"We have to hurry up and set off. Since you are Weilin's friend, you can rest in Paradise City. There are many empty mansions there. You can choose one to stay in."
Tiffany vaguely realized that Evelyn's action of hugging her chest was a competition with her?
She suppressed her subtle displeasure and continued with a smile:
"No, since you
144
I plan to go back to Longyan City to help, so I'll go with you~"
"But if outsiders are involved in this trip, the nature of the matter will easily become complicated. Thank you for your kindness, Miss Tiffany. We can handle it."
Chu Yan had just finished rejecting this when Tiffany said:
"I feel sad about your politeness, but Isa should be qualified to take care of the Longyan clan's affairs. She can't live without me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another heroic and beautiful woman got out of the carriage.
If Josephine hadn't left yet, she would have discovered that she was the female dragon who helped the church control Therese.
Chu Yan looked in surprise. It turned out to be Aunt Isa who had wanted to take him to the Holy Education Hall.
Isa's expression was complicated, and she said softly:
"Let Tiffany go with you. I can help you deal with those people..."
Chu Yan felt that the atmosphere was weird, but it would be better not to delve into it for now. The journey back to the family city was not short, and time was precious.
"Okay, then you have to hurry again."
Chapter 4.4: Time Stop (K words)
In Longyan City, in the building of the family elders' council.
Several main branch members of the Longyan family gathered here. Since it was not meal time, there were only simple fruits placed in front of their tables. However, the expensive wines held by the waiters beside them showed the joy in their hearts.
Only a joyful mood worth celebrating can fully release the taste of fine wine.
Sitting on the main seat was Elder Huniwan.
He wears dark red clothes, has sunken eye sockets, and often looks gloomy. In his hand, he holds a powerful and exquisitely crafted staff, which he uses almost all the time as a ceremonial cane to show his status.
He is an S-level dragon descendant of the Longyan family. Unfortunately, he only broke through to this realm in his old age. If he could achieve this when he was young, he would have more years to accomplish more feats.
Elder Huniwan glanced at the clock and introduced the wine to his colleagues before that moment arrived.
The waiters on the side were all young and beautiful human maids, and each of them held a different kind of wine.
"From left to right, they are the Holy Spring Fruit Wine, a specialty of the White Elves, the Gray Night Wheat Dew of the Black Elves, the Turbid Rum of the Dwarves, and the Mint Grain Wine of the Catmen..."
As Elder Hu Niwan introduced the guests, the number of maids carrying wine stretched from one end of the hall to the other, which was enough to show what a happy event this was.
"Here are the wines I have collected over the years. All of them are selected from the best quality and stored in the wine cellar. Many of them were shared by Elder Baidan. If it weren't for this special moment, we wouldn't be so generous."
Everyone in the seats smiled.
Some people still feel guilty, as it is always difficult to accept the fact that they murdered their own people. However, some people have used their vision for the future to smooth out the guilt in their hearts.
Among them, a female dragon who married into the Longyan family asked worriedly, "What should we do if Chief Phoenix gets angry when she comes back? Before she went out to attend the meeting, she even sent someone to warn our family."
Elder Baidan comforted him:
"You're worrying too much. The people can't come back anymore. As long as you have a good attitude and admit your mistakes, and insist that the port was destroyed by an accidental explosion and it was not intentional, you will be grounded for a period of time at most. Can Chief Phoenix really kill you to pay for your lives?
Elder Huniwan and I have seen your respective performances and contributions in this planning. When you pass through the Tower of Babel and reach the next level in the future, your rewards will not be in vain for your efforts these days."
Elder Hu Niwan then further reminded:
"Be careful, no matter how angry Chief Phoenix gets, you must not be dissatisfied. Life is your bottom line, but the chief's punishment will not be that severe. She values the tribe too much and often gets stuck in a rut."
Chief Phoenix was angry. If anyone was really arrogant and dared to respond to her, it would be hard to say what would really happen.
However, the ones who caused this little trouble were only those people in the second seats. The two elders were the core, but they stood in the dark the whole time and could not be held responsible.
Even the mastermind has an obvious shield, the Ha An father and son.
That was the dragonborn who was responsible for the previous action to trap Nancy.
With the clear and pleasant "ding dong" sound, the fine wine was poured into high-heeled glasses and distributed to the participants one after another.
But the main course plate was still empty.
The two elders, Hu Niwan and Baidan, looked at each other and nodded in confirmation. Then, Elder Baidan began to talk about something more important:
"I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about a plan for the future. I want to take you out separately after we arrive in the new world and get our respective territories."
The dining table, which was originally filled with laughter and chatter, suddenly became silent, with only surprised glances wandering around.
...Split up?!
If it is for greater benefits in the future, they are willing to take the risk of squeezing Weilin out of the family table, but when it comes to separating from the Longyan family, they have no such idea.
Picture what?
Being bound to the Longyan family, with food, drink and status, why should we split up?
Moreover, if they want to become independent from the Longyan Family, can they withstand the wrath of Chief Phoenix?
At this point, someone finally realized that they no longer had the right to refuse, because in the Weilin incident, they had become accomplices and were on the pirate ship.
Regardless of the two elders
145
Whatever the decision is, they must follow it!
Someone asked anxiously, "Elder, why do you have such a plan?"
Elder Baidan explained: "Because the Dragonborn is currently in a dead end, we have to think long-term..."
In fact, as descendants of the dragon, everyone can see the decline of the race in the new generation. The number of people is one thing, but what is more important is that the strength of the bloodline has been diluted to the point of being a bit stretched.
In the future, even if the Dragonborn family can survive, what is the point if they lose the superiority brought by dragon blood?
Sooner or later, the Dragonborn family will become weak and small in number. How can they maintain their current lofty status?
While their generation is still strong, it’s time to make changes!
After arriving in the new world, all races will be caught up in internal strife over "dividing the cake", and our side will be the first to end the internal strife, so we can take advantage of the opportunity to move in!
This is the best opportunity. Once the other tribes end their civil strife and unite again, even the Dragonborn will find it difficult to defeat them.
“Without dragon blood, we are nothing more than ordinary humans, at best fallen nobles with a bit of status.
Now, we should regard the dragon blood as a temporary power in our hands, use it to become the master of other tribes, defeat them as soon as possible, and become the master of other tribes!"
The elder's voice echoed in the magnificent hall.
The people in the second seat figured out more things in silence.
Weilin would definitely not agree to such a plan, and as the backbone of the Longyan family, as long as Weilin is there, most people will not stand on the side of the elders, even the accomplices present at the table.
If there are not enough Dragonborn members supporting the elders, their plan will be difficult to carry out, and there are still many powerful forces outside.
But if we use the territorial interests of the New World as bait and instigate some of them to get rid of Weilin, we can also tie them to the pirate ship at the same time.
This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone, and the elders' subsequent plans will be much smoother.
“It’s a pity that the person who holds the highest power and status in the Longyan family is an old and pedantic person like Chief Phoenix. She can only lead the Dragon Clan to the end of its life. She calls it adhering to tradition, but she can do nothing. She has walked into the coffin and grave in vain with the powerful dragon blood!
What Huniwan and Baidan want is the rebirth of our tribe! A brighter future for you and me!"
After hearing these words, the Dragonborn members at the table could only force themselves to smile ingratiatingly, and the remaining wine in their mouths became particularly bitter.
They still need some time to digest these shocking facts.
In the hearts of these people, what they are thinking is that after they are allocated a larger territory in the new world, their status will be further elevated, and they will be looked at with admiration when they attend various celebrity balls in the future.
Who would have thought so far, to use the power in their hands to conquer foreign races...
Elder Hu Niwan was not angry because of everyone's anxiety and hesitation. He had already thought of this scene when he discussed with Baidan, but what impact would it have?
These tribesmen had no right to refuse.
If they really wanted to refuse, the matter of the division of the family would be exposed, and Chief Phoenix, whose bottom line had been touched, might become really cruel.
Hu Niwan glanced at the wooden carved clock on the wall again, clapped his hands, and said to ease the atmosphere:
"Well, the time has come. When the bell rings, Weilin will completely lose the right to return home and will forever remain in the deep and dangerous ocean.
As accomplices, let us count down together!"
He asked the maids to pour wine, and then stood up and raised his glass in greeting.
The dragonborns could only stand up, raise their glasses and look at each other, seeing helplessness and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
tick-
tick-
The second hand seems to be moving faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the end when the "death knell" rings!
Just as the second hand was about to complete its last step, it stopped.
The heavy door was pushed open forcefully, and an unexpected young dragon was standing there.
He glared at the relatives and elders in the audience with sarcasm, then took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile:
"It was a close call. Fortunately, I caught up with the last step and stopped time. Otherwise, when the bell rang, Weilin would never come back!"
*
Meanwhile, at the Dead Sea border.
Hearing that something would appear in the sea, several children followed Janet, looking at the sea with curiosity and vigilance.
For them, the only things they associate with the sea are monsters and death.
