Endless Silver Machine

The hazy Augustus still carries an air that cannot be linked to the cruel war in the slightest.

Today is a special day. Princes and nobles who have no worries about food and clothing have gathered in the center of the Bis Empire one after another.

Such a grand occasion also attracted numerous domestic media to focus their lenses here.

The Bisi Empire is holding an annual investiture ceremony to crown the new blood flowing into the empire with medals. The venue for the investiture ceremony was in August City, and today's venue was packed with people.

The younger generation who received the award were at the top of the list, and the Senate personally wore medals symbolizing their new status on them. Bathed in flashlight, this will be the most glorious moment of their generation.

The eldest son of "Luo Xi" - Brad Luo Xi officially inherited the long-standing Fu family. Before the handover ceremony within the family, the newly promoted chick took over some of the responsibilities of the head of the "Roxi" family, Croze Rohi, and was responsible for managing the military enterprise officially set up by the Bisi Empire in the northwest district of the imperial capital.

Although this is only one of the most basic functions in the military enterprise family, everyone knows that this "insignificant" name is just the "Luo Xi" family following traditional procedures.

As early as a long time ago, "Luo Xi"'s family was ready to hand over the parents. Although Brad Rossi is still young, he has received elite education from his family since he was a child and has experienced the training of "independent thinking" at Shimoyue Academy. He is already qualified to be the heir of the Fu family.

In other words, he has essentially mastered most of the power of this ancient family.

The top level of national magicians has also joined the ranks of the youngest commander ever.

Lilith, a prospective graduate of Shuoyue Academy, was officially awarded the title of national magician of the Bis Empire. The national magician army she led was under the control of the "Roxi" family.

With the double proof of ability and background, Lilith has reached a height that was difficult to climb at her young age.

Naturally, she took advantage of the "preferential treatment" the Senate had given her. But this time, Lilith took the initiative to take advantage of this opportunity after thinking about it.

——A few weeks ago, when Lilith and Ms. Elise returned to the Imperial Palace to discuss...

"I want to be a state magician."

When Lilith told Mrs. Elise this idea, all she got was silence from the head of the family.

"...Lilith, are you sure you want to give up inheriting the family?"

Although Lilith's family is not as prestigious as the Fu family, it is still one of the ancient families that represented human beings in cross-border wars before the establishment of the Bis Empire. After the cross-border war, the engineering and construction industry developed by her family has become the main force in the reconstruction of the empire, and has even begun cutting-edge research that integrates engineering and magic mechanics.

For an ancient family with such a traditional foundation, if the head of the family abandons the foundation of the family, it is equivalent to changing the direction of the family's progress and abruptly turning to another positional path with no savings.

Even if Mrs. Elise can agree to Lilith's "willful request" for the sake of mother and daughter, the big shots above will not allow the centuries-old inheritance to be wasted in this generation.

There was no need for Ms. Elise to remind her of the dangers of this approach. Of course, Lilith had already been troubled by this problem.

"I can't give up the family business."

It's not "don't want to", but "can't".

Lilith thought about many aspects. She didn't need to waste a long time, she just needed to list the things she needed most now.

"If I didn't have my family background, even if I became a national magician, I would only be an unknown person based on my ability."

Lilith is not shy about using relationships, and she must step into a circle where love and courage alone cannot help her stand out.

Her goal is only results, and there needs to be a process before getting results. If this process cannot proceed smoothly, the results will naturally become empty words.

"When you graduated from the second grade, the boy from the 'Qianze' family made it very clear that you have the freedom to pursue your dreams, so I will not continue to interfere with your decision. However," Ms. Elise Lilith must be warned in advance, whether it is due to the obligations of mother or head of the family, "You can't have your cake and eat it too, this approach will inevitably pay a price, and what the price is is not something I can decide alone. So. , now I will give you time to think, you may not necessarily give me an answer now."

The implication of Mrs. Elise's words was already very obvious. If Lilith insists on taking the path of a national magician, she will inevitably encounter various obstacles to varying degrees in inheriting the family.

"Can collateral brothers and sisters also inherit the family?"

"If those people above insist, the collateral line can also replace the direct line."

In other words, as long as it can support the development of the family, the purity of the bloodline does not seem to be that important.

The people above were not sticklers for bloodline belief, which really gave Lilith hope in this game.

"What if my decision can bring another fortune to the family, or a 'priceless treasure'?"

"……What does it mean?"

"I want to use this opportunity to form an alliance with the 'Luo Xi' family."

"Alliance" in the political circle is not a simple sentence or a contract that can form an established fact. Although there are many ways to promote its formation, such as the use of common interests between the two parties, or the establishment of a marriage relationship between families, etc.

The former is naturally not considered. Ordinary nobles based in the cultural industry and the "Luo Xi" family, a family named Fu who controls the country's lifeblood - the secret military industry, have no connection points since ancient times, and it is impossible to form an alliance with the same interests.

If it's the latter, maybe it's still possible.

"I believe that you are so resistant to the marriage of the 'Del' family, but now you start to consider the 'Roxi' family, are you not comparing the strength of the two families?" Mrs. Inis sighed, "If this is the case, Even in their current situation, the 'Del' family is much stronger than the 'Roxi' family."

The "powerful" that Ms. Elise mentioned here only refers to the distribution of the power of the two families in the political circle.

The "Del" family owns the Empire's eyes and ears, the Imperial Intelligence Agency. It is currently paralyzed due to an unknown attack, but it can be restored to its functions in a short time. "Del"'s eldest son - Sanders Del is the leader of the Imperial Knights.

In addition to the core military power controlled by the Minister of Military Affairs, two-thirds of the remaining power is in the hands of the "Del" family, and the other one-third belongs to the "Roxi" family.

"It's not for the power of the 'Luo Xi' family... I have already considered these issues." Lilith did not say it clearly. What she said was already a chess piece to take a step forward, "Although the power of the 'Luo Xi' family is not as good as The Del' family, but now they are the two most powerful families except the royal family 'Iela', just like the 'Bis Twin Towers' in the past. If my approach can achieve an alliance with one of them , those people above shouldn’t say anything more, right?”

In fact, the two quasi-successors of the family, Lilith for Aika, and Brad Rossi for Lolo, have already reached a private partnership.

Unlike Lilith, Brad Roche's words now have a decisive weight in the "Roche" family, and Lilith still needs to discuss with the current head of the family, Mrs. Elise, how to deal with the family elders above.

"If it is really possible to form an alliance with the 'Roxi' family, those people above may really accept such a result." Mrs. Inis did not say that she had accepted it, but she did not delve into the "plan" Lilith said. "What exactly is it? "It's just, Lilith, I hope you can think about it before making a decision. Is it really worth doing this?"

When she heard this meaningful advice, Lilith, who was full of confidence, couldn't help but become speechless.

She looked at the diamond ring she was wearing on her ring finger.

Since the incident with Lan Ming Yiela came to an end temporarily and Roosevelt Del was under investigation due to the accident, Lilith was able to relax and resume wearing the amulet-like magical equipment in its original position.

"...I don't know either..."

After falling silent, anyone in Lilith's voice could hear that she was a little disappointed.

Mrs. Elise also followed her gaze and looked at the diamond ring. She knew the origin of the diamond ring and the meaning of Lilith's insistence on wearing it on that finger, so she should have guessed the entanglement in Lilith's heart at the moment.

"Maybe even if I try so hard, I might not get what I want..." With this unwillingness to express his feelings, there was a trace of bitterness that could not be melted away, "But this is What I want to do for him. I don’t want to use it as an excuse for not taking the opportunity to work hard, and if that’s not enough, maybe it really is.”

Lilith used the words that person taught her to strengthen her beliefs.

——Just like her perseverance at that time, Lilith is now standing on the highest stage that she has tried her best to reach.

Although it is war time now, they will not be sent to the frontline battlefield as they have just entered new roles. There is still much to learn within their own fields.

The "Roxi" family and Lilith's family reached an alliance under mutually agreed conditions. The former successfully accepted the olive branch offered by the latter under the advice of Brad Roche. The more important reason is that the magician army commanded by Lilith is the elite force of the "Roxi" family, and the two families have been tacitly regarded as an alliance in public.

——No matter how long our relationship lasts, now we just have to think about the same thing.

Brad Roche said this when he met Lilith privately after that.

With the efforts of the two of them, they broke through many obstacles and obtained the location where Lan Ming Yiela, the core figure of the war, was imprisoned. Then Aika, who acted as a fugitive, and the others successfully escaped from the border fortress of Lieutenant General Rosenberg to the princess. His Highness snatched it back.

Neither of them knew what Aika and the others had done after that. The only thing they knew was that he would never give up. Presumably at this moment they should be looking for a chance to make a comeback somewhere outside the borders of the Bisi Empire.

The "Luo Xi" family now controls vital military enterprises, including the supply of weapons to various military ministries. With the "Luo Xi" family's relationship network, they can at least get information about Luo Luo as soon as possible, and all available forces will be used to protect her when necessary.

From this, Lilith gained power far beyond one person and a network of connections with the "Roxi" family. She must make good use of this relationship to deal with the situation where Aika and the others may return to the Bisi Empire at any time.

Neither of them has achieved their stranded wish, but they still strive for it.

There is no particular reason, just because I want to do it.
