For someone, it was just an embarrassing drama that was forced to show off. However, for the elderly group, it was a shock that could not be expressed in words for the rest of their lives. For the rest of their future lives, their past experiences, and even their academic achievements

In the vast ocean of knowledge, there is not a single word that can form this sightseeing tour of hell.

All the way back to Demon King Village, these old people were still in a trance and their steps were light. If someone told them that this was a dream, they would probably believe it immediately without even thinking about it.

Seeing the state of the old people, Akara and Kane looked at each other, with a little helplessness in their expressions. Sure enough, they still couldn't let Wu Xiaozi play freely. Why did he forget his nature as a troublemaker?

However, compared to this helplessness, it was more of a surprise, not only because these patriarchs saw the strength currently possessed by the Holy See Mountain and saw the possibility of defeating the hell world, but even they themselves saw it with their own eyes for the first time.

Witnessing these huge powers, I was deeply shocked and excited inside.

Everything is going for the best and developing in the direction that the two of them want, so someone's small mistakes in operation are not harmful.

"I wonder if everything Elder Fan has shown can satisfy everyone? I think everyone is tired, so why not take a rest for the night. Let's return tomorrow. I think that's all there is to see. There's nothing else worth seeing."

Looking at the absent-minded patriarchs, Akara looked concerned on the surface, but secretly felt happy in his heart, and he did not forget to be humble.

Damn, if there's anything good to see here, I don't need you to send it to me. I'll take the initiative to apply for a mental hospital for retirement!

After hearing this, the clan leaders were in a trance and felt like millions of alpacas were flying around.

As he spoke, Akara was about to take everyone back to have a rest so that these clan leaders could cool down their brains and think about it so that they could make a correct judgment on the situation.

At this moment, a big light...oh no, it was the old patriarch emerged from the crowd.

"Your Majesty the Great Elder."

"Oh, isn't this Edward's house? You seem to be in good spirits."

Akara narrowed his eyes, hey, one of his own had sent an assist, but he was too impatient. Why didn't he wait for the others to take a breath before talking? It was as if the two of them were colluding together to be aggressive.

Conscience of heaven and earth, I really don’t mean this. We are all part of the alliance. We usually sit together to drink tea, chat, and establish an ecologically harmonious elderly care group. How can there be so much intrigue and intrigue? Whoever wants to take the bait can take the bait.

The patriarch of the Edward family paused, his eyes solemn, as if there was a huge mountain pressing on his heart, but he was carrying it all by himself. Every word contained a huge amount of power.

"Your Excellency, Great Elder, we are all sensible people, so why not open the skylight and speak frankly."

I looked around, as if I had been deliberately led here to give everyone a chance to speak their minds. The surroundings were quiet and there were no other outsiders except the elderly group.

"We know very well what you mean by this trip. We all have our own difficulties. It's not that we were unwilling to fully support the alliance before. In fact, even if we did, we would feel uncomfortable in front of the seven giants who are so powerful that we are desperate.

It won’t have much effect, and as the leader of a clan, we have too many things to bear, and it is absolutely impossible to be completely selfless, everyone agrees.”

The expressions of the other clan leaders were solemn, as if they had noticed something, and they nodded slightly, looking thoughtfully, as if they were at war between heaven and man.

Their shoulders seemed to be pressing down on a mountain. What was originally strong and straight became slightly hunched, and what was originally slightly hunched became a little lower.

The patriarchs in war-torn times have far greater pressure than power, and greater responsibilities than rights. They bear the heavy responsibility of continuing and strengthening the clan, shouldering the instructions and entrustments of generations of clan leaders, shouldering the hopes of all clan members, and bearing the burden of blood.

Mission and Honor.

"Now, Your Excellency, Great Elder, you have given us hope. Elder Wu Fan is our only hope now. I am very hesitant. I don't know whether I should put the future of the Edward family on this hope. Perhaps, in

Maybe we will see greater hope in the near future? The cowardice and anxiety in my heart keep telling myself this, comforting myself, wait, wait, the situation may get better, hope it will change.

It will be bigger, and when that time comes, there may be a more courageous successor, allowing the Edward family to break through the darkness and usher in the day of redemption."

Having said this, Patriarch Edward slapped his cane hard and panted heavily, as if he had just experienced a big battle.

"But, can we really pass all the burdens on to future generations?! Then what's the point of our existence?!"

From the wheezing sound of a broken blower, an old and unambitious roar came out, and with a click, the crutch, which was of good quality, cracked under the constant beating of the patriarch Edward.

"We all hope that future successors will become better and better from generation to generation. This is true, but you ask yourself, are you really that bad, not as good as future successors, unable to bear such heavy pressure?!"

"Let me speak more straightforwardly." He pulled his chest hard, revealing a thin but strong chest, as if he had returned to his youth, the bohemian and passionate adventure era, and the sharp eyes of the patriarch Edward swept over.

Everyone waits.

"Are you the head of the clan? Do you have any seeds?"

"On behalf of the entire Edward family, I declare that I will devote everything I have to supporting the alliance!"

The eyelids were slightly drooped, but none of the clan leaders dared to look directly at the clan leader Edward. His words also made these old and decaying clansmen filled with passion and dissatisfaction for a long time. At least they still had their senses, so they forcefully suppressed the hand that was about to be raised high.

.

Your Edward family has a great business, with Linya and Raphael as outstanding leaders, and a unique son-in-law like the Savior. It is already the largest family in the alliance. It doesn’t hurt to stand up and talk. Small families like us still need to think about it again.

Fan.

Of course, not everyone thinks so. Maybe they are really passionate, maybe they want to come out on top, or maybe they have no choice. For various reasons, three clan leaders stood up on the spot and expressed that, like the Edward family, they were willing to give everything they had.

, fully support the alliance.

As for what "spending everything" meant, no one said anything, not even the Edwards, who were the first to stand up. They all kept it secret, and they didn't know what little calculations they had. They were very shrewd.

Seeing such a situation, Akara and Kane secretly exchanged a look of satisfaction. What they were most afraid of was that no one would respond after the Edward family stepped forward. Now that there are only three of them, it is equivalent to the opening of a strong embankment.

A hole has been opened. Under the impact of the torrent of the overall situation, this hole will only get bigger and bigger, and finally it will be overwhelming and break through all lines of defense.

"I accept your thoughts, old lady. On behalf of the entire alliance, I would like to thank several clan leaders for their selfless dedication, and look forward to more people willing to contribute to the next victory. Okay, it's getting late, everyone.

Go back and rest, we will set off back tomorrow."

After saying that, he ignored several clan leaders who were hesitant to speak, and Kane and he turned around and left.

…

"After all, what are we after?" At home, I pretended to be busy with important things and had to leave in front of the elderly group. I went around in a big circle and secretly returned home. Seeing that everyone was there, I couldn't help but ask again.

The doubts in my heart came out.

"Lin Ya, little girl, aren't you willing to confess now?" Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, I pushed the boat along, which inadvertently created the pressure on my mother to put her on the table.

"It's not that I don't want to confess. I'm afraid that if I guess wrong, everyone will laugh at me. Anyway, Grandma Akara will reveal the mystery soon, so why not wait a little longer."

Linya Xiaonizi is worthy of being the future great elder partner appointed by Akara. She is very slippery and smoothly pushed my carefully prepared rice bowl to Akara who I couldn't afford to offend.

"I seemed to hear someone saying bad things about me behind my back." Before I could come up with plan B and continue to torture and extract confessions, Akara's proud laughter came from outside.

Everyone looked at each other, what good thing happened to make our great elder so happy?

"How dare I say bad things about you, Grandma Akara, isn't that what it is? It's not appropriate for me to keep trying to keep everyone interested even though I'm helping you." I immediately left Linya behind and rubbed my hands.

Welcome him with a heart to please.

"For the sake of helping?" Akara's smile froze and he shook his head: "No matter, it still has a role anyway. Without this drama, those clan leaders don't know when they would have to consider it."

"So what is it for? What do we want from them?" I'm so anxious. If you dare to show off again today, I will be rude to your apprentice, right?

Akara pressed his palms and signaled to be calm: "Actually, I didn't mean to show off, but I was really unsure of myself and was afraid that it would backfire and become a joke, so I kept it secret. Now half of the matter is done.

It’s okay to just say it, right, Kane.”

Behind him, Kane stroked someone's envious white beard and nodded in agreement with a smile.

"As for the answer... I will tell you today, but you really don't want to guess? Anyway, it will be announced later, and there is no shortage of time." Akara, who had accomplished a big thing, was extremely happy and even

I want to play a guessing game at the end.

"Linya, come on!" I waved behind me, and I was really frightened by this question.

"After going around and around, you still have to watch my jokes." Xiao Nizi sighed. It would be great if Lena was here at this time. At least she could pull her into the water together.

"What the alliance lacks now is nothing more than manpower and material resources. As for manpower, I know a little bit about the situation of the major families in the alliance. Although there have been many talents over the years, but as for those who can add help to the current Holy See Mountain, I think

Probably not. With the army of millions of monsters recruited by Brother Wu, even the carefully selected Demon King's army, which gathered the power of the entire alliance, has almost become an inconspicuous foil."

After listening to Linya's analysis, Akara nodded first, and then shook his head: "You can't say that. Raphael and you are the league's top talents."

In other words, among these families, the only ones you can look up to are Raphael and Linya, right? I silently complained in my heart.

"I'm not from a certain family anymore. I'm from Brother Wu. If you marry a chicken, you will follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you will follow the dog." Linya Xiaonizi winked and said with a playful smile.

Go, go, go, who is the chicken and who is the dog? Can you put it nicely? Do you think that after hearing such words, I will be so moved that I can’t help but kiss you? I am not such a casual person.

Also, you little girl doesn’t know how to be humble. Doesn’t your response like this mean that you are admitting that you are the league’s leading talent? You are too thick-skinned, don’t you? Come on, come on, let me pinch you and give you a kiss, um,

So fragrant.

"So, what we are after is the material resources of the major clans? Is it because the alliance is so poor recently that it cannot take the blame and wants to get some money to spend?"

"Brother Wu, the so-called material resources not only refer to money..."

"So there's a shortage of food?"

"Although food is quite scarce, far from enough to provide enough food and clothing, it does not have a major impact on the current situation."

"It seems that Linya has guessed it a long time ago. Yes, we specially put on such a show for the sake of these families..."

In order to prevent my halo of wisdom from affecting everyone, Akara interrupted with a smile and announced the answer that everyone had been waiting for.

"Artifact!"
Chapter completed!
