This secret meeting overturned the girl Carolina's three views from another perspective.
The first thing that Doug, the butler she respected, discussed with the other two adults was not the cooperation with the community led by Meri, but the possibility of armed attack on Lucas's low mountain villa and seizing the other "strange space".
Because she is the Underwood with the most orthodox bloodline and the highest ranking in the manor, she is qualified to participate in this meeting.
For the first time, she felt fear for her butler, and for the first time, she felt deep disgust for the alliance of interests between the Ryan and Campbell families. She was just a little romantic (a compliment from Europeans and Americans), but her nature was still pure.
She never expected that the two ladies who seemed to have a harmonious relationship with Lucas and Emily in the small space would have such vicious thoughts...it even caused her severe physical discomfort for a while.
Is this the world of adults?
What comforted her was that the chances of them having this discussion were close to zero.
First, Green Valley Street did not unite the lower-middle class community, and the lower-middle class community did not fall into its own chaos and division as they predicted, but was united by Lucas and Merry. In terms of power comparison, although the armed team composed of professional security guards and cowboys was more elite, the lower-middle class community had more armed forces (he
They didn't know that Lucas had already DIYed a powerful weapon, the anti-aircraft artillery).
Moreover, Lucas already had a huge reputation in the lower-middle class community at this time. Once they took action against him, regardless of whether Lucas was dead or not, they themselves would become the target of public criticism in the entire Crown Eagle Mountain.
To a certain extent, they themselves are the beneficiaries of the current community status quo established by Lucas and Meili, as no riots or armed conflicts have broken out, and their own personnel, materials and means of production have been maintained extremely intact.
Secondly, they were at a loss for what to do with the personal strength displayed by Lucas and Merry, and they even felt terrified because it was beyond their normal cognition. They were not even sure whether guns were still effective against the two men.
Merry was also included because the two were now deeply bound together, and if either of them got away, it could be a disaster.
Finally, even if they eliminated Lucas, they were not sure whether they could control that "strange space", especially after seeing the terrifying creatures like the wyvern.
Maybe it was not completely contaminated. When the discussion reached this point, Carolina, who had remained silent, said:
"Don't you consider the possibility that Lucas brought something like a wyvern to the Crown Eagle Mountain community? Not to mention the wyvern, what about the big (meow) tiger that can turn invisible? There are already magical buildings and magical creatures called tree demons around his villa, and what you are discussing now is too dangerous. Do you want to turn a friendly and well-intentioned person into our enemy, especially under the premise that he has the ability to destroy our entire neighborhood!?"
Butler Doug looked at her and remained silent. Although he had a seat and a say at the negotiation table and had participated in the discussion before, Carolina's will was still the main thing.
"My dear, I understand that you may not be able to accept it emotionally, but we cannot bet our lives and property safety on anyone's kindness and goodwill."
Maggie's father said expressionlessly.
"But the problem is that all of us are useless people who have been sucked into this damn foggy space. Forget it. Stop acting like you're always superior. Admit that you can't control your own destiny and accept reality!"
Carolina propped herself up on the table with her arms, like a young lion roaring for the first time: "I will not let Underwood participate in this kind of self-harming discussion again! Your discussion is as ridiculous as a child with a toy trying to rob and kill a dragon, and you..."
Having said this, she paused and glanced at her butler, the Lanes, and the Campbells.
"...No, you only have one choice now. Forget the discussion just now and unconditionally agree to the resource allocation terms proposed by Officer Winter. I believe in Emily and Lucas. Our top priority now is to seek cooperation and survival. If you disagree, I will immediately terminate our cooperation with you and transfer all personnel and materials immediately!"
The couples from the two families frowned and looked at her, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Butler Doug.
The latter sighed and slowly stood up.
Carolina stared at him.
But the old man, whom he had always trusted and respected, did not say anything. He just left his seat, walked leisurely to her side, and when their eyes met, he smiled warmly.
Then he put on his stern and indifferent expression again, stood beside her with his head held high, and took half a step back.
Carolina let her pounding heart settle back into her stomach, turned around, and met the gazes of the four adults.
"..."

Lucas had no way of knowing about the secret meeting at Underwood Manor on Green Valley Street.
However, he had already anticipated the character of the Ansa elite.
Not to mention Green Valley Street, if the measures are not in place and the control is not proper, the middle and lower classes of the community may not necessarily obey management.
It can be said that these were within his calculations and expectations.
An English proverb says, a gentleman is more combative than a rogue; Stephen Chow’s line in Justice, My Foot: an honest official must be more cunning than a bad official in order to win.
Although he was not involved in any planning or winning, Lucas was absolutely sure that he dared to try to maintain social order in the "Crown Eagle Mountain Community" during peacetime.
……
Because the villa in the low mountain is also in the magical world, the teleportation array charges very quickly and can be used many times a day. Although Lucas lives in the "Sinkhole Base", it is very convenient for him to travel between the two places.
Come for a stroll at noon or after dinner.
The main thing is to contact Merry by radio to see if there is any emergency, and then check the security information of the villa.
He made the Bofors anti-aircraft artillery and some ammunition according to the drawings, a total of four sets, and gave them to Merry in the past few days, asking her to take them to the weapons workshop for assembly and testing.
As for how to install it and where to set it, let Meili decide for herself.
Originally, he wanted to give the liaison work to two secretaries and give them the transmission token. However, considering that the two of them had almost no self-protection ability, it would be easy to get into trouble if the villa was breached, so Lucas decided to do it himself.
In less than two days, Hope, who was bored at home,
Come over to visit, and ask him to be taken to the "Sinkhole Base" to keep Emily company.
+1 for the morning exercise team.
Hope has a [Basic Town Citizen Attribute Panel]. When the three tour groups were together before, she also did some morning exercises with them.
However, after she came back, her family didn't have the conditions and the girl was lazy, so she didn't continue her morning exercises. This time she returned to the "Sinkhole Base" and started practicing again under the guidance of Lucas.
After two days, she continued her previously interrupted and possibly regressed training progress, and as expected, the prompt [EXPERIENCE + n] began to appear on her attribute panel.
Moreover, n is generally > 15, which is much more efficient than physical labor.
The first day the prompt appeared, she reached level 5 in one fell swoop. The experience points required for the first 5 levels were very small, but starting from level 6, the experience points required for upgrading increased exponentially, and it would not be so fast to upgrade further.
Meili was relatively fair in her work and did not give her a back door to visit the four [mysterious stone tablets] in the parking lot behind the county bureau. Instead, she chose to allow her subordinates and people in various blocks who were very obedient and who followed the rules to visit the stone tablets after she took over as the manager, thereby strengthening her status and prestige at this time.
In this regard, she was greatly influenced by Lucas. She believed that as long as she managed the community well, created a fair and safe community environment, and did not do bad things, it did not matter whether Hope became a superhuman sooner or later.
However, compared to Merry, Hope's talent is very ordinary, not to mention the skill effects and deathrattle. It's a blank slate, with only 1 random attribute point per level up, and strangely, it's mainly based on endurance and spirit.
This natural way of adding points is very close to the extraordinary profession in a certain magic world - [Warlock]. Unfortunately, Lucas only knows information about another magic world - [Blood Warlock]. The latter also requires a special attribute - [Charm]. This is considered an advanced attribute and is beyond the scope of the [Basic Townsman Attribute Panel].
Fortunately, through training and practicing universal swordsmanship, Hope gained 1 point of strength and 1 point of agility through training rather than upgrading.
Moreover, after training for a period of time, some basic skill information appeared on her attribute panel, including [General Swordsmanship (Beginner)], [Basic Footwork (Beginner)], and [Basic Body Movement (Beginner)].
Each basic skill is followed by a training progress. Hope can put the experience gained from practicing breathing techniques, fitness and body strengthening techniques into it to further improve the training progress of these skills.
Well... with these hints, another one was possessed. The usually lazy girl suddenly burst out with great enthusiasm for cultivation. Not only did she beg Lucas for a real 20-jin steel training sword, but she also often did extra special training despite his and Emily's dissuasion. Sometimes she would call up the attribute panel that only she could see and giggled "hehehe".
Maybe this is the legendary state of "learning XI makes me happy"?
……
Lucas didn't make much progress in making his own magic contract. Although he used mapping software to restore several [Slave Contracts] and [Soul Contracts] that he knew, after importing them into the "Map Editor", he was still unable to simulate the real effects of the two magic contracts.
But he was not in a hurry. He slowly checked and set up a few runes and magic symbols every day, and did not miss any morning exercises and training. When he got tired of it, he would give himself half a day off, go to the pond below to play in the water with his family, or go fishing in the caves in the wild area.
Emily is also an excellent stress reliever. Having sex with her a few more times will make all your worries disappear. After a good night's sleep, you can get back to work with full energy the next day.
……
With the insistence of the Underwood family or Carolina, the interest alliance of Green Valley Street did not collapse, but it had to compromise with Merry.
They gave up their claims to the mountainous areas, but still haggled over water allocation with Meili and representatives of the lower-middle class communities.
Even though it's snowing heavily now, the entire Crown Eagle Mountain is covered with a thick layer of snow, so it seems there's no need to worry about water resources.
But agriculture and animal husbandry are both big water users. Now the terrain is so strange, who knows whether there will be water replenishment after spring comes and flowers bloom?
Lucas didn't know this either, so he could only let the two sides continue to argue. Fortunately, the river and dam projects have never stopped.
The river channel was generally widened to 10 meters wide and 3 meters deep, and twelve small dams were built according to the terrain.
The repaired rivers and dams are now used by bullock carts to transport and dump the snow cleared from the neighborhoods. It snows regularly now and there is always snow in the residential areas.
Due to the lack of construction materials such as cement, the construction methods of rivers and dams are relatively primitive. This is why it is impossible to build large dams and only small dams can be built.
However, after Merry repeatedly told the residents about the magical creatures created by Lucas, [elves] and [tree spirits] began to appear frequently in various places in the community. Naughty children and adults with bad hands could be found in every world and country. In the first few days, Merry and the police from the county bureau were really busy and confused, and they frequently received alerts from the alarm device installed by Lucas for them.
Either some naughty kid brought the [elf] home to play with, or some sheep lovers or deer lovers tried to do something to the [Tree Spirit]... Fortunately, the [Tree Spirit] is a combat unit, and is much more capable than a resident with only a basic profession like [Town Citizen].
[Elf] Although it has no attack ability
They have little strength, but they have some basic defense, so they are usually not damaged by naughty kids. They just need to find the naughty kids and warn them. As for the latter, when Meili and his colleagues arrived at the scene, what they did most was to send the injured residents to Guanyingshan Hospital for treatment, such as the second child's fracture... After a [Moon Well] was built in front of the county bureau, this procedure was saved, and they simply took the people back, drank two sips of well water, and locked them in a cell in the basement, dividing the punishment by 15 days of imprisonment.
Anyway, all that was needed to build a [Moon Well] was stone or soil, and some magical elements floating in the air or flowing in the earth veins, so Lucas simply built [Moon Wells] all over the community.
Just pay attention to the distance between each other and the density per unit area. This can be easily obtained through the feedback from the [Elves] or [Tree Spirits], and Lucas does not need to worry about it.
Moon Well Water can quickly restore life, relieve fatigue, and save some food consumption. Humans are not magical creatures and must replenish food. They cannot be like [elves] or [tree spirits], where the needs for survival can be completely replaced by Moon Well Water.
Now, because of [Experience +n], all residents are very enthusiastic about construction, and these [Moon Wells] are regarded as welfare for community residents.
Including Green Valley Street, he also built 10 bridges as a reward for their giving up their interests in the mountainous area.
Secondly, Lucas built a lot of [Ancient Guardians] in the community, including the Green Valley Street area. This is a tower defense unit used to prevent the invasion of foreign creatures. Moreover, the [Ancient Guardian] itself is a tree man. After taking root, it becomes a tree, allowing [Elves] to entangle it and replace those dormant trees in winter and low temperature environments to produce [Wood (Normal White)].
……
After resolving the property rights issue of the mountainous and forested areas (making them common to the community), Lucas began to work hard on large-scale construction.
Throughout the Crown Eagle Mountain community, no matter where you are, you can see a large number of [elves] and [tree spirits] every day.
After laying the [Moon Well] and [Ancient Guardian], almost all of the [Elves], except those entangled in the evergreen trees and [Ancient Guardian], fled to the mountainous and forested areas. A few lingered in the river and dam areas, using their unique abilities to reinforce the rivers and dams.
They can fuse soil and stones into a solid whole like marble, and can also attract tree roots from underground to harden them, becoming similar to the "rebar" in reinforced concrete buildings, further strengthening the solidity of the dam.
Such buildings can be considered alive to a certain extent, as they can automatically repair durability and less serious damage.
In addition to maintaining the [Ancient Guardian] and [Moon Well], the work of [Tree Spirit] in the community is to plant a special plant from the magical world - [Iron Thorn].
Steel means that this plant is very hard, and combined with the plant's own toughness, it has strong defensive capabilities; thorns mean that it can grow thorns and has anti-injury defensive capabilities.
In the ordinary world, such hard plants have high density and usually have an extremely long growth cycle, but this is not the case in the magical world.
In an environment with high magic concentration, this thing not only grows extremely fast, but also grows very large, with a diameter of even more than 10 meters. For example, moon well water is a very good growth agent for it, but if it lacks management, this thing can easily get out of control.
The area within dozens of kilometers is full of these huge twisted thorns, which can form thorny peaks hundreds of meters high. Not only will they destroy all vegetation on the surface, but they can also destroy terrain such as rocky mountains, and the underground water layers will also be destroyed. Even with sufficient magic supply, it can absorb magma to continue growing.
It can be said to be a relatively dangerous species.
However, under the control of a large number of [Tree Spirits] with [Planting Skills], it becomes a very useful thing to the Crown Eagle Mountain community.
It can grow as desired and quickly even in a cold winter environment, protecting the main buildings of the entire community at a speed no slower than the deployment of explosion-proof walls.
(Note: If you don’t know what an explosion-proof wall is, you can search on Baidu)
It can also grow spikes over 1 meter long and even secrete toxins at the required location.
At the same time, it is also an excellent plant-carrying platform. With the help of [Elves] or [Tree Spirits (with planting skills)], tree-man units such as [Ancient Guardians] can take root on its stems to obtain magic power and nutrient supplements. Other plants can also be planted on its stems through "grafting".
When it grows to the required size and shape, you can let the [elf] wrap around it and "suck away" the [wood] produced by daily growth, maintaining a fixed size and shape.
In addition to planting and deploying this [Iron Thorn] in the community, the tree spirits rushing towards the mountainous areas are also planting this plant along the edge of the entire "Crown Eagle Mountain".
Another major function of plants is to consolidate the soil, especially this magical plant that can grow in a certain direction according to one's will.
Lucas' plan is to let the [Tree Spirits] and [Elves] continue to give birth, and let the [Iron Thorns] entangle and wrap the entire bottom of the "Crown Eagle Mountain" to form a huge "bowl-shaped structure". This can not only prevent collisions with other floating land masses floating in the "Misty Realm Space", but also prevent its own land structure from collapsing and disintegrating.
You can also encounter smaller
When there is a floating landmass, let the [Iron Thorns] grow over like tentacles, capture the floating landmass, pull it back to become a part of itself, and increase its own volume and area.
……
In addition to deer, the mountainous area is also home to mountain lions and coyotes, which poses a certain degree of danger. Therefore, Lucas did not let the elves scatter all at once like a starry sky.
[Tree Spirits] have the ability to communicate with animals and plants and are basically not attacked by wild beasts, but they don’t have that ability.
I say basically because when hungry, mountain lions or coyotes will not make friends with the [Tree Spirit], and will follow their survival instinct to eat first.
It’s not a big deal whether to eat or not, but you have to fill your stomach anyway.
So Lucas's approach is to send out an [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] or [Ancient Guardian] as a protector, and let a few [Tree Spirits] and a team of [Elves] form a team and head towards the mountainous area together.
After arriving at the designated location, it is usually decided by the [Tree Spirit] or [Elf] based on the concentration of magic in the ground veins or the air, and laid out in the mountains and forests like a network node.
The [Ancient Tree of Knowledge] or [Ancient Guardian] takes root, the [Elves] build a [Moon Well] as a supply here, and then spread out to collect trees.
[Tree Spirit] acts as a daily worker and maintainer, active in the vicinity.
