son-in-law of blood

Chapter 205 Joint Meeting of Blood Clan Elders

(The first few chapters have been blocked, it’s not that I’ve broken the update. It’s estimated that it will be released after I finish the revision)

"What happened to the neck?"

As soon as he stepped into Conlaly's meeting room, Hawthorne asked Hellen curiously.

Hellen grinned:

"I accidentally knocked when I woke up in the morning!"

"How did you hit such a place?" Hawthorn obviously didn't believe it.

Then he turned his head and looked at Hepburn, who was standing next to Helen, with a slightly red face, and nodded thoughtfully:

"Come in, I'll wait for you two!"

Hellen smiled, and pulled Hepburn to sit down on the two empty seats in the room.

Today's meeting was decided after the coming-of-age ceremony yesterday, and the main content was to discuss matters related to starting the trial of the heir of the blood clan.

After sitting down, Hellen quickly glanced around the room.

Elder Murphy, whom Hepburn had introduced to him, was impressively on the list. Besides, there were also many elders who looked like elders.

To his surprise, the other two Supreme Elders did not come together.

Seeing that everyone was present, Conlaly coughed lightly, and said slowly to Helen:

"This is the joint meeting of elders within our blood clan. These are members of the elders group. I made an exception to allow you to participate today because of consideration of your identity. I hope that what you hear and see today will be in your heart After you go out, you can't mention it to anyone!"

Hellen's heart trembled, and he nodded in agreement.

Raising his voice a bit, Conraly introduced to everyone present:

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with this, the envoy of the Steway Empire and my future son-in-law, His Excellency Baron Hellen Mebius!"

A low-pitched voice of discussion resounded among the crowd, inviting an outsider to participate in the joint meeting of elders with a very high rank of the blood clan. This move of Conlaly is enough to explain a lot of problems.

He not only regards Xillen as his son-in-law, but also as the future leader of the blood clan to train!

The elders who realized what Conraly meant couldn't help but gasped, and turned their gazes to Hellen. They really couldn't understand why Conlaly valued such a small baron?

The index finger tapped the table lightly, and the clear and clear voice immediately reduced the discussions in the conference room a lot:

"Start the meeting now!"

Hearing this, Hawthorne stood up, glanced at all the elders present, and said expressionlessly:
"According to the rules of our blood clan, the trials of heirs are all decided by the group of elders. This time is no exception. Please express your opinions and talk about how to conduct the trials of heirs this time, shall we?"

After speaking, he sat down on his own and began to close his eyes and meditate.

"Talk about it!" Conraly said, and then fell silent like Hawthorne.

After a moment of silence, Elder Murphy spoke first, but the conversation was directed at the two Hepburns in the spectators:

"Your Highness, I wonder if Your Highness still remembers the ten-year agreement with our Presbyterian Church?"

Hepburn let go of the little hand that "come and go" with Hellen under the table, adjusted her emotions, and replied:

"Yes, does Elder Murphy have anything to say?"

Murphy glanced at Conraly quickly, and found that the latter was still indifferent, so he said cruelly:

"Originally, the time set with His Highness was ten years, but now that His Majesty has already established you as the heir of the blood clan in advance, does the old man think that this time can be brought forward?"

Hepburn frowned slightly and asked:
"Elder Murphy thinks when is it appropriate to arrive early?"

Murphy pursed his lips deeply and lowered his tone:

"Why don't we adjust it to the same period as the heir trial? How about a limit of three years?"

Elder Murphy's words caused quite a stir among the elders.

They all remember the ten-year agreement at that time - Hepburn was to conquer a dungeon with his own power!
And a complete dungeon must have at least a [-] alien army guarding it, and the ruling city lord must be at least a legendary power.

How easy is it to conquer such a city with elite soldiers and strong generals only with Hepburn's current sixth-level strength?

Originally, ten years was already harsh enough, but now it has to be advanced, so it is not surprising that the elders have this discussion.

"Elder Murphy, is it too difficult to make such a request? Her Royal Highness is only at the sixth level of cultivation, and you let her go head-to-head with a dungeon in three years. Aren't you forcing Her Royal Highness to die? ?” A red-haired elder refuted, his words were very fierce.

Elder Murphy was not annoyed either, he smiled slightly and said:

"This is just a suggestion. If you think it's okay, then you can do it. If you think His Highness doesn't have the ability, then it's okay to skip the old man's suggestion. Senior Hawthorne said it just now, so speak freely!"

The elders of the Murphy elder faction also began to echo:

"That's right, we're just discussing together, so don't put such a big hat on people!"

"Yeah, besides, it has already been said that it is the trial of the successor, the trial and the trial, if it is really so easy to complete, wouldn't it lose the meaning of the trial?"

Elder Murphy took over the conversation:

"Besides, I didn't say that Her Royal Highness should face it alone! Isn't there a field baron who commands a piece of land beside Her Highness?"

One word to punish one's heart!

At this time, everyone finally understood why Elder Murphy was so aggressive today, and must force Her Royal Highness to admit the fact that the ten-year agreement was brought forward.

On the surface, it was aimed at the eldest princess, but in fact it was persecuting Hellen!

Let you attend the highest-level meeting of the blood clan, and give you the extremely honorable status of the son-in-law of the blood patriarch princess. You must pay some kind of gift for this marriage!

A dungeon marrying a blood clan's eldest princess is a good deal no matter how you look at it!
After the elders figured this out, they couldn't help admiring Elder Murphy's cunning.

The grievance of being snatched by Xi Lun from the eldest princess was also vented at this time. No one spoke out to refute Murphy, but they all echoed.

With a few words, there is a stance that this matter will be decided to death.

Murphy's eyes drifted vaguely to Conlaly who was sitting on the main seat.

The latter remained as motionless as a mountain, closed his eyes and meditated, making it impossible to see what he was thinking in his heart!
In any case, seeing that Conlaly did not refute his proposal, Elder Murphy was still somewhat relieved.

The atmosphere gradually became serious, and most people's eyes were locked on Hellen, wanting to see how he would deal with this matter.

Hellen did not expect the situation to develop like this, and so many elders tacitly launched an attack together, which was slightly beyond his expectation.

After thinking about it for a moment, he was relieved. After all, he had robbed the future Queen of the Blood Race, so it was understandable that he was a little emotional.

But he didn't take it seriously, smiled slightly, and stood up straight:
"His Royal Highness the Princess is my fiancée. Of course, her affairs are my affairs. As for the matter of the ten-year agreement brought forward by the elders, if everyone thinks this way, then I have no objection!"

"Mr. Baron, don't just try to talk fast and ignore your true level! A dungeon is no small feat. You can conquer them within three years, are you sure?"

An elder stood up abruptly, his words were sharp and merciless.

Helen still did not show any weakness, and swept around the elders in the room, speaking to the one who spoke, and also to everyone present:

"Elders, before yesterday, did you ever think that the proud son of your own clan would be defeated by a human being of the same age?"

…Looking across the elders who were rendered speechless by these words, Xillen smiled coldly and paused every word:
"30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"

As soon as this remark came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The expressions of all the people present suddenly changed, and they exclaimed in unison:

"No, it's him, Emperor Yan is here!"... (The above is purely a spoof, just ignore it)
The elder who made the sound laughed a few times, and sat back in an extremely uncomfortable position.

Elder Murphy said at this time:
"Mr. Baron is really courageous, but things can't be done with words alone, and we still have to do it step by step. What should we do if Mr. Baron fails to conquer a dungeon as promised after three years? Is it the qualification of a blood son-in-law?" Your Excellency will..."

Before Hellen could answer, Hepburn stood up abruptly, her white catkin tightly grasping the former's big hand, deliberately interrupting Elder Murphy's words:
"If it is not completed as promised, I will voluntarily give up the position of the blood clan, what do the elders think?"

"Don't dare..."

Everyone replied in unison.

To decide the survival of an heir, these elders are not qualified enough.

Elder Murphy didn't expect the eldest princess to be so decisive that she would use the position of the blood clan as a bargaining chip.

His original plan was to hope that if Hellen failed to fulfill the contract on time, he would let him give up his title of blood son-in-law and go back and forth from wherever he came from.

Now it seems that he underestimated the eldest princess's intentions for Helen.

Things reached a stalemate, and Conlaly, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke:

"Well, let's say it's a three-year period. The content of the heir's trial this time is to conquer a dungeon. If you fail to complete it on time, then the trial will be declared a failure. What do the elders think?"

Elder Murphy was furious when he heard that, what kind of punishment is the failure of the trial, if you fail this time, you can just open it again next time.

He finally saw that His Majesty was deliberately favoring this human man.

"The old ones didn't say anything, is this the default?"

Conraly asked again.

"Your Majesty, old man..."

"If that's the case, then it's settled like this. Okay, the meeting is adjourned!"

Elder Murphy hesitated and decided to be the villain again and again, but Conlaly had already made a final decision and did not give Murphy another chance to state his views.

Hellen shrugged, his father-in-law's move really surprised him.

Today's situation has been roughly understood by him. Most of the elders of the blood clan clearly want to take advantage of this so-called trial of blood clan heirs to find a way to get rid of the name of the blood clan son-in-law, but Kang Lali is extremely strong , let the calculations of these elders come to nothing.

Why Conraly would defend himself like this is something he has never been able to figure out. It stands to reason that although the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is not as irreconcilable as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship between the two should not be so good. .

After much deliberation, Heron didn't come up with a clue, so he simply stopped entangled. Maybe it was his own personality charm that conquered Conlaly.

After adjusting his emotions, Hellen pulled Hepburn and was about to walk towards the bedroom.

"Hellen, Hepburn, you two stay here!"

Hawthorne suddenly called out to the two who wanted to leave.

"Anything else?"

Conraly, Hawthorne, and Hillen Hepburn were left in the conference room.

Clearing his throat, Conraly said calmly:

"It's not about us, it's about you!"

A confused expression appeared on Hellen's face.

Hawthorn shook his head:
"Are you really sinking into the gentle country and forgetting all the important things? That old boy Gremory sent you here is really unreasonable!"

Hawthorne's words made Hepburn's face flushed, and the girl pinched Hellen fiercely while they were not paying attention.

Although in various senses, Hepburn has been insulated from the title of girl.

Helen was shocked by the name Hawthorne mentioned, and suddenly realized:
"Sorry sorry, I really forgot!"

After speaking, he quickly took out a well-preserved letter from the storage ring.

He took a few steps forward and said respectfully in front of Conraly:
"Heron Mebius, the envoy of the Steway Empire, is on behalf of..."

"No need to talk nonsense, bring it here!" Conraly said angrily.

"Uh……"

Hearon handed over the letter, and Conraly didn't shy away from it. He unfolded the letter in front of several people, and began to browse the autographed letter written to him by His Majesty Gremory VI, the supreme emperor of the Stevey Empire.

The letter was not too long, and Conrali read it quickly, with neither joy nor anger on his face, and he couldn't tell what his attitude towards the letter was.

Putting away the letter, Conraly asked:

"What did your Majesty say when he handed you this letter?"

Hellen replied: "This letter was not handed over to me by His Majesty himself, but...uh...someone forwarded it on his behalf."

"It's the Raven!"

Conraly reminded with a half-smile.

"Don't be surprised, our blood race has special intelligence organizations in all major human empires, and it is not unusual to know the existence of Raven."

Helen nodded slightly, but said nothing.

"On behalf of... So Gremory hasn't seen you in person, has he?"

Conraly suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Helen reflexively replied:
"I haven't been to the capital yet, so of course he hasn't seen me with his own eyes."

Conraly nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth, but his tone was extremely serious:
"Okay, I already know the matter, go back and tell Gremory, I can agree to what he said in the letter, but one thing, no matter how the situation develops in the future, he must promise that he will never unite with other isolated blood races of mankind! Not to mention Let him use my daughter for your sake!"

Helen nodded solemnly:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the last point, no matter whether our Majesty agrees or not, I will definitely not take advantage of Hepburn!"

A few traces of kindness slowly appeared on Conraly's face, and he patted Hellen's shoulder:

"It's good that you know, go back and have a good rest, let Hepburn take you to our clan's land in two days, and I have something to leave to you."

Helen nodded in agreement, and then pulled Hepburn away from the meeting room with Conraly's hand waving.

After Helen left, two old figures slowly appeared in the conference room.

It was Hawthorne's two brothers, and the other two Supreme Elders of the Blood Race.

Conraly handed the letter to the three of them, and sighed wearily:

"It seems that not only our blood race has a premonition, the old fox of the Gremory family may have already smelled something unusual."

The Supreme Elder said:

"Fortunately, there is still time, and coupled with the secret cooperation with the Steway Empire, we must be able to get through it safely!"

Conraly said in an inexplicable tone:

"I hope so!"

Hawthorne said: "Has Your Majesty decided to let Xillen go into that place?"

There were a few smiles on the corners of Conlaly's mouth, and his voice contained a lot of schadenfreude:
"Let him clean up the mess left by his wife!"
