The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 484 Promise

The atmosphere in the magnificent city lord's mansion in Dawn City was somewhat somber.

Members of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families gathered together, including the Weasley family.

They sat or stood, each with a different expression, but all carried the arrogance 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 speak out, his tone full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

For these pure-blood nobles who had always lived a life of luxury, the resentment in their hearts had already reached its peak at the point of being reduced to living among ordinary wizards and losing their once spacious and luxurious manors.

"Of course not," Lucius said calmly with a confident smile. "There's good news."

He then revealed Wes's entire plan.

"Invade another world?" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"Is there a London in a world remarkably similar to ours?"

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt, exchanging glances, but no one spoke immediately.

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

Seeing the lukewarm reaction from the crowd, Lucius was somewhat displeased and emphasized, "This is rare good news."

"Hmph~" The patriarch of the Pwitt family snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "What kind of good news is this? We still have to contribute our manpower and effort."

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

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

Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Lucius stopped keeping them in suspense.

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

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up instantly, except for Arthur Weasley.

They were all astute men and immediately understood the meaning behind Lucius's words.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Chief Rozier asked impatiently, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"Of course, my friends," Lucius said, his gaze slowly sweeping over each person's face, his eyes filled with temptation, "you only need to pay a small price."

It wasn't that simple after all.

Everyone pondered this in their hearts.

"What price?"

This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

"The magic and scriptures passed down through generations of each family."

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

These spells and scriptures are important inheritances of the family for hundreds or even thousands of years. Some of these scriptures and spells are only available to the head of the family and can be viewed and learned by him. They are the foundation and pride of the family.

"Gentlemen, don't you all want to become kings and rule a country?"

Lucius dropped another bombshell, attempting to break the crowd's hesitation.

"???" Upon hearing this, some people's breathing became rapid, their eyes filled with struggle and longing.

"You mean, we can establish our own country?" a tribal chief asked incredulously.

"Of course! The master is very generous."

Lucius answered affirmatively.

This completely won everyone over.

The so-called pure-blood families and the twenty-eight sacred clans are like duckweed that has lost its foundation after leaving their original world. The names they were once proud of are now just names.

In the eyes of Wes, this demigod, they were no different from ordinary wizards.

Having been here for so long, they hadn't even seen Wes's face, which was enough to show that Wes didn't particularly value them.

Moreover, if Wes really wanted what they had, how could they possibly hold onto it?

Instead of doing this, why not use these so-called family heirlooms to exchange for something truly useful?

The pride and reserve that once belonged to the purebloods instantly became worthless in the face of absolute power and enormous benefits.

At this moment, they were just like the old folks haggling in the market, their faces flushed and their opinions meticulously calculated in order to choose a good place in the new world of the future.

However, amidst all this commotion, only Arthur Weasley remained uninvolved.

In fact, he didn't really want to come to the city lord's mansion from the beginning.

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

"What? Not tempted at all?" Lu

Hughes noticed Arthur's unusual behavior and strolled over, a hint of curiosity and confusion on his face.

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

Arthur shook his head gently, his tone firm yet calm.

The latest novel is first published here!

His gaze, peering through the wine glass, seemed to see the family's heritage and perseverance.

Faced with such temptation, Lucius was able to maintain his integrity, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the person he had always looked down upon.

He knew that the Weasley twins had studied alchemy with Weasley, and that Weasley greatly admired the twins, even spending Christmas at the Burrow.

"Actually, given your relationship with the adults..."

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

"He is no longer the Professor Erwin he once was."

Arthur sighed deeply.

The current Weiss is a completely different person. The once kind and approachable professor has embarked on a completely different path after experiencing various events.

Meanwhile, the others had finally finished dividing the "cake," and they were all beaming with joy, as if they could already see their glorious future as the rulers of a country.

They were engrossed in fantasies of future power and wealth, ignoring the enormous risks that might lurk behind them.

In the study, Lucius stood quietly by the window, his gaze fixed on the departing figures of the pure-blood family members.

"Father, shouldn't we see them off?"

"Draco asked softly."

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

"Draco, from this day forward, we are no longer from the same world as them."

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

Draco was puzzled; he frowned slightly, his eyes filled with 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; he knew his father must have his reasons for saying that.

"You'll understand later," Lucius said, looking at his son without offering further explanation.

Some things can only be truly understood through experience.

"Starting tomorrow, you'll be working for me. There's a lot you'll need to learn."

Lucius's voice softened, and he patted Draco on the shoulder.

Draco nodded understandingly, realizing that his father was about to begin grooming him.

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