The hero of the full-time mage

Chapter 99
In early September, Mu's compound.

Mù Nujiao dressed herself up a little today, but even though she was dressed simply, she was still beautiful.

She went out of her room, met Mu Nuxin who was outside, and then walked towards the meeting hall in the backyard together.

At this time, "Mu's Twins" has not yet become the most famous sign of the third generation of Mu's family, but the two sisters are already in bud, always showing the youthful vitality and seductive beauty of the girl.

During the walk, neither of them spoke, each thinking about something on their minds.

The Mu family is a relatively dynamic family, and they are willing to let the outstanding members of the third generation get in touch with family affairs as soon as possible.

And this time, after they reached their age, being allowed to participate in the family's council was also a kind of recognition for them.

The two came to the meeting hall and cooperated with Mu Yuan, the second-generation spokesperson of the Mu family who presided over the meeting, to do some preparations. Mu Yuan is also their uncle.

Afterwards, the important members of the Mu family took their seats one by one. As a relatively young family among the four great aristocratic families in Shanghai, the Mu family has insufficient background but is full of momentum.

Mu Shan, the old man of the Mu family, is only a relatively strong mage in the super-second field, but he is good at management. Although the development of the aristocratic family requires some pillar-level combat effectiveness, it is more about long-term accumulation and development.

From Mu Shan to the second generation of Mu Yuan, the Mu family has accumulated many connections and resource bases in Shanghai. They stand out among the many aristocratic families in Shanghai and are listed as the top four existences, worthy of the name.

In this meeting, apart from the old man Mu Shan, the second generation came from the backbone of the Mu family, and the third generation only had Mu Yuan's son Mu Hua and sister Mu Nujiao.

When everyone was seated, Mù Nujiao and Mù Nuxin also took their seats on the outermost side, and then Mu Yuan directly started today's discussion:
"There are two matters in this meeting, both of which are relatively important. It can be said that they are important matters related to the development and survival of our Mu Clan. Everyone must pay attention to them."

Hearing the uncle's speech, Mù Nujiao, who didn't know the news beforehand, was startled, and then met Mù Nuxin's eyes, and both of them found that the rest of the people only looked solemn, but there was no sudden expression.

Mù Nujiao swallowed her throat, it was such an important event to attend the family council for the first time, which made her a little nervous.

Mu Yuan paused for a while, then continued:

"The first matter is how the Mu family handles the invitation to join the alliance from the East China Sea Alliance. I believe everyone is familiar with the East China Sea Alliance. It is an alliance of forces led by the Tang family in Hangcheng for the purpose of resisting the Pacific Ocean in the future. It has already The integration of large and small forces in Hangzhou has been completed, and even the Eastern Family has joined."

"Now it seems that the East China Sea Alliance has set their sights on it, and our Mu and Bai families seem to be their test targets. Apart from this, we have not received any feedback from other magic capital forces to receive invitations."

After Mu Yuan finished speaking, Mu Nuxin's mother, Mu Wan, who is currently in charge of the economic power of the Mu family, immediately continued:
"Hmph, I think the Tang family is a wolf with ambition. Neither the military nor the Magic Association is targeting the Pacific sea people. Is it their turn to worry about it? Who knows if what they say is true or not. After joining the alliance, the constraints are so strong, isn't that the reason? Does it mean annexation? It’s all for him to be his landowner in Hangcheng, and if he wants to do this, he’s not afraid of dying?”

When Mu Yuan heard the words, he coughed and said, "Speak carefully."

Mu Wan snorted again, the others didn't know how to respond when they looked at each other.

Finally, Muyuan's wife said: "Sister Wan, the Tang family has done a lot of practical things for Hangcheng in recent years. Hangcheng is developing very fast and there are many opportunities. This may be the reason why those forces are willing to join. I heard A sister who married into the Dongfang family said that the Tang family recently allocated another piece of resources for the Dongfang family in the west of the Qinling Mountains, and now the Dongfang family is thriving."

"Sister, that's a trick. The first one to join must have meat to eat, but what about the latecomers, his Tang family seems to be really close to the thigh of the Southern Army now. They regard Qinling as their own backyard and plan land, but I don't believe that the Southern Army will allow them to do this nonsense, then half of the Qinling Mountains would have to be divided up to be enough for so many forces in the Devil's City, I dare not eat this cake."

Mu Yuan coughed again and said, "Little sister, please restrain your words a little bit."

Mu Wan directly retorted this time: "Brother, if you solve puzzles like this, then don't open this meeting. You think I want to be the first to be refuted by you. Who doesn't know the power and momentum of the Tang family now? He Tang There are only three people in the family. It has only been a few years since Tang Zhong, an ordinary super mage, has become a member of the council? Four years or five years, he has become the speaker. There is nothing to say, isn’t it because of the Tang family? Is it the momentum?"

Mu Wan said it so bluntly, in fact, it just happened to speak to the hearts of many people, even Mù Nujiao and Mù Nuxin knew who she was referring to, after all, they were peers who were often regarded as models .

Mu Yuan also saw that the rest of the people had thoughts to express, so he looked at the old man.

The old man said with a smile: "Let's talk, let's talk, today is a family routine."

Mu Shan decided on a personality, and the atmosphere became more lively. Mu Yuan's second younger brother asked directly: "I said, is the Tang family really the next generation?"

There are those who can't do this question, and those who can do it dare not say, but Mu Wan said with certainty: "Then why not?"

"It's too early."

"How old is he?"

"And he hasn't heard much about him in recent years, maybe he's all quiet."

On this topic, the rest of the Mu family also interrupted a few times.

And Mù Nujiao found this scene quite interesting, and couldn't help but wonder how that peer who was not much younger than herself lived such a legendary life, and could make the elders discuss his affairs like gossip.

Everyone was discussing, Mu Wan saw that Mu Yuan and the old man didn't respond to this topic, knowing that she could only make the conclusion as a woman, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, but with her well-maintained appearance, she seemed quite mature.

"Okay, many people can understand the potential of the Tang family. It's basically determined. That person reached a high level at the age of 16 and then disappeared. It's like he has passed the test. Now he has dived into the abyss. With a lot of accumulation, there is no need to show up again. And his uncle's promotion is a proof of his stable status."

"However, I want to say that even if he has reached the level he is today, if he wants to eat the whole family, it would be a bit ugly to eat like this."

Hearing Mu Wan's words, many people looked at Mu Yuan as if seeking proof, but Mu Yuan did not deny it, Mu Wan's eyes and vision were still on the same level as him, and just sighed:
"Little sister, the key is that they only invited us and the Bai family. Now we can't think about the future. The helm of the Tang family is very good. If you agree to the alliance, we can also get a share in Qinling. If you don't agree, the first step will be We must first cut off all our previous cooperation with the military department, and transfer all of them to the forces that agreed to the alliance."

"Now that the other party is showing no regard for gains and losses, it is our turn to fall into the prisoner's dilemma with the Bai family. However, based on the skills shown by the other party and the reality of being backed by the Southern Military Headquarters, it is really difficult for us to judge if we refuse. It will lead to the weakening of the family."

After Mu Yuan finished speaking, the meeting hall fell silent.

Muyuan also knows that this kind of strategic judgment is actually very difficult to crowdfund suggestions.

He was just about to speak when the second wife of the Mu family suddenly said, "By the way, the Tang family is not married yet, right?"

These words were a little sudden, but everyone unanimously turned their attention to Mù Nujiao and Mù Nuxin who were at the last table, making the two girls blush immediately.

It was still Mu Wan who said: "Our family is useless, so don't think about it, Nujiao and Nuxin, you don't have to think about it, it's not your problem."

"Yes (yes)." Both women responded, but their minds were full of imagination because their marriage was discussed at the clan meeting.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mu Yuan concluded:
"Okay, the first thing is to let everyone know about the situation. I will discuss the specific decision with the old man later, but no matter how I decide, it is clear that my Mu family has reached a point in time when danger and opportunity coexist. , everyone must try their best to help the family strive for resources and the right to speak during this period."

After Mu Yuan finished speaking, Mu Wan suddenly thought of it and said, "Nujiao, you are going to enter the Pearl Academy soon, right?"

"Ah? Oh, yes, we will report tomorrow." Mù Nujiao was still distracted at first, but then she immediately came to her senses and replied.

"According to the time, it seems that this World Academy is only two years away. It is rare for the Mu family to find a seedling for cultivation this time. We must make good use of it." Mu Wan said.

"Yeah, with that one here this time, wouldn't it be easy to be the number one in the school? If Nujiao is also a member, our Mu family will be honored a lot." The wife of the second child echoed, and the others nodded.

But Muwan actually thinks that the Tang family will probably continue to dormant, and the World Academy competition will advise some members whose strengths are obviously out of bounds not to come, and provide rich compensation.

The school competition is a place to test the overall strength of the generation of schools in various countries, and does not advocate the ultimate individual heroism.

She mentioned this college competition because she knew there were two very competitive members, but seeing that everyone was supportive, she just added:
"Nujiao, if you want to fight for it within two years, you can find your aunt for resources. Nana Ai Tutu has already come to look for you, her brother Ai Jiangtu should also be in this year, I understand Ai Jiangtu grew up very fast, probably because he once stood on the same stage with the Tang family, which gave him a lot of pressure and motivation."

"Then there is an obviously top-notch genius from the last class of Pearl Academy——Mu Ningxue, who ranked first in the Pearl Wind Institute within a year purely by relying on wind. I heard that Mu Ningxue was transferred to Mingzhu, and later on, the Imperial Capital Academy and the Mu family came to ask for someone, but they were all turned back. With these two people, this school is very good. Take a look, you can follow their example to chase."

Mù Nujiao nodded heavily: "Yes, auntie, I want to fight for it."

Seeing this, Mu Yuan also nodded. The competition for world universities is indeed an opportunity. The investment is relatively small, but it is also a big honor. There are so many aristocratic families in China, and not many of the younger generation enter the country. , let alone if you take No.1.

After arranging the first matter, Mu Yuan continued: "Okay, let's discuss the second matter, which is not a small matter. Everyone knows the cardinal of the Black Vatican, right?"

Everyone nodded, including the three from the third generation.

Mu Yuan paused before saying: "Well, according to the news, Tianlu has come to the capital..."

"What?!"*3
"Really?"*3
At this time, everyone was very surprised, and Mu Yuan could understand it, so he explained: "Everyone should have heard about some death or disappearance cases a while ago, and the official closed the cause until a while ago, the team leader of the Anti-Sky Killing Organization—— Speaker Zhu Meng of the Forbidden City has come, summoning all the major forces to start explaining this matter, Heavenly Killer, it is very likely that he will focus on it."

"..."

"..."

"...Then, will there be a war? Like in the ancient capital." The others were silent, and Mu Wan had no choice but to answer.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Chairman Zhu Meng has the determination of the high-level, and will not blindly compromise with Tianlu. But everyone knows that Tianlu's strength has reached an extremely terrifying level."

"Chairman Zhu Meng is quite sincere. He directly told everyone a very realistic fact. At present, no one can kill Tianlu to death, because the last battle in the ancient capital found that Tianlu himself is a space-type Forbidden Curse Mage..."

"Now Zhu Meng's policy is that although Tianlu cannot be killed, he must find his weaknesses to check and balance him, so he called everyone to do some mobilization."

"Brother, doesn't this mean that we have nothing to do with Heaven's Kill now? Then if we are also targeted by him and killed by him, then we will die if we die?" Mu Yuan's second brother said:

Mu Yuan nodded, and then the others began to discuss.

This is the reality, even if there is panic, there is no way.

However, Mu Yuan actually has some news, but at the moment, he is still a little afraid to confirm it, or he is hesitant to say it.

At this time, Mu Yuan's wife said:

"I heard something from my sister from the Dongfang family. I don't know if it's true. Didn't Tianzhu kill many people in Hangzhou before? The sister said that all those people were not good things. Killing wrong, they often say in private that there is a way to kill robbers in the sky, and they only pick bad people to rob."

This news stunned everyone, especially Mu Yuan, who said in astonishment, "Honey, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It's all gossip, who knows if it's true or not, and it happened a long time ago. Before the incident in the ancient capital, Tianlu is now a cardinal. They don't dare to say these things now." Mu Yuan's wife replied.

"No way..." The news shocked Mu Yuan so much that he whispered out what was in his heart.

After the others called him a few times, Mu Yuan came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I have some associations."

Mu Yuan looked at the other people, still hesitating to talk about it, and then suddenly thought of the recent series of unsettled phenomena, he felt a little enlightened, and had an intuition that great changes were about to happen.

This intuition made him feel that it is necessary to pass it on to everyone, so that everyone in the Mu family will get nervous and tide over the difficulties together, so he said:

"What I'm going to say next, you must never tell anyone outside this door. Remember, restrain the urge to share."

Mu Yuan glanced at the crowd before continuing:
"Most of the people who are familiar with him now know the first three incidents of Tianlu."

"According to what my wife and best friend said, Tianlu killed people who deserved their crimes in Hangzhou. And the second time, according to the data, Tianlu attacked the base with more than a dozen monarchs, but did not cause any casualties. The third time, as far as I know, Sa Lang's plan was to destroy the ancient capital, and Tian Lun seemed to have just stolen the throne of the ancient king. one person."

Mu Yuan continued speaking along his own train of thought, but he didn't think that what he said would have such an impact on most people who preconceived that Tian Lun was a cardinal with all kinds of evil.

"Wait a minute, brother, you... you mean, could Tianlu be..."

"Don't ask, listen to me." Mu Yuan's second brother was about to intervene, but was interrupted by Mu Yuan instead.

"Among all the death cases in Shanghai this time, one case shocked me when it happened. It was an important member of the Magic Association who was not a congressman but a congressman."

"Because of this incident, before Zhu Meng came, I investigated some of the dead people, and indeed found some similar situations, not all of them, of course, it is also possible that I did not investigate. At that time, I thought this What kind of special operation, I didn't know it was the hands of God until Zhu Meng came."

"Okay!" The old man Mu Shan stretched out his hand at this moment, interrupting Mu Yuan, "Let's go here, those who understand can think for themselves, but no matter how you understand it, leave this door and leave everything behind. From the bottom of my heart, if something goes wrong, the family will not be able to save you."

Mu Yuan also felt that it was almost the same, so he concluded: "Let's stop here today. I always have a feeling that a big change is coming. Everyone should make some preparations, and we will end the meeting."

……

After the meeting, everyone in the Mu family looked very preoccupied.

The two sisters Mù Nujiao and Mù Nuxin walked to the gazebo in the backyard, they both looked dull-eyed, only their superficial appearance was still pretty.

"Sister, is there so much information about the clan association? My head is dizzy now." Mu Nuxin leaned half on the pillar of the gazebo, shaking her long snow-white legs.

"Don't ask me, I also feel that the upcoming school life is meaningless, and I had some expectations." Mù Nujiao stuck out her tongue.

Mù Nuxin rolled her eyes, and then she showed a smiling face and moved to Mù Nujiao's side, hugging her sister's body and sticking to her ear, said: "Hey, let's discuss it, you want to say that Tang Jin is still a god?" kill."

"Tang Jin, I'm a little bit afraid of killing the sky." Mù Nujiao didn't object.

"Haha, okay. My mother and the others are so interesting, they insisted on talking about that one from the Tang family. At the meeting, I almost stopped laughing. Can't I just say his name? Tang Jin...Tang Jin... said It won’t be a big deal.” Mu Nuxin said with a laugh.

Mù Nujiao didn't think anything at first, but when Mù Nuxin said this, she was also amused.

"But he is really legendary, he seems to be two years older than us? Is he appointed as Chief Hua's successor? My mother also said that others, she herself is also an old riddle person, so she did this in one sentence complex."

"It seems so, especially to your liking, right? You like big heroes." Mù Nujiao joked.

"Of course, what's the point of finding an ordinary one. Don't you like ordinary ones?"

"Not really. It should be special. However, he is too special."

"Haha, that's right."

"..."

After this paragraph, both of them fell into silence.

In the backyard of the aristocratic family, there is continuously running ice magic to eliminate the heat of summer. The appearance of two girls in light clothes sticking together is the best interpretation of coolness.

After a long time, Mù Nujiao said to Mù Nuxin who was leaning on her body:

"Nu Xin, I feel that after this meeting, my responsibility has increased in an instant. I was free before, but now I know that the elders have to take on so many things. Today's two things just think about it. But I can’t just do nothing, I’ve decided, I must stand on the podium of the World University Competition!”

Mù Nuxin also raised her head to respond to Mù Nujiao's eyes, clenched her fists and said, "I also feel this way, then...then I will strive to inherit my mother's position and provide resources for my sister. We have two swords together~"

"Yeah, it's a deal, let's work together!"

"work hard together!"

"Then I'm going to prepare for school tomorrow, and Tutu even asked me to go shopping together."

"Bye, practice hard~"

……

After a discussion was over, the members of the Mu family began to make their own changes along with the changes in the capital city.

At the same time, at the transport airport at the base of the main peak of Dark Spirit Mountain, a group of people were saying goodbye to each other.

And standing in the middle of the crowd was naturally Tang Jin. With a friendly smile on his face, he said hello to every senior professor who had helped him in the past six months, and sent them to different transport planes.

Until the end, only he and one other person were left in the entire airport.

Looking at the last transport plane, Tang Jin smiled and said, "Dean Xiao, let's go, just in time for school to start tomorrow..."
