034. Family meeting (2)
On the evening of the 45th, Talos followed Sandra and Emma to Walter Magic Manor to attend the first family meeting in his life.
The conference room of the Nepton family is a typical circular structure, with a total of ten stone pillars with a diameter of six feet in total, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in the solemnity and solemnity accumulated by the years from the moment they enter the conference room.
The surface of the stone pillar is carved with exquisite patterns such as snakes and lotus flowers. There is a different shape at the top, holding a magic wand, and a lifelike six-armed Naga statue.
These stone pillars were magically cast, emitting a pine green magical aura, occasionally rolling up waves and water flows, intertwining them into various patterns.
They are seats for the patriarchs and elders, each of which is more than ten feet in height, symbolizing power.
Originally, there were only nine stone pillars in the conference room, seven were slightly shorter, representing the seven elders of the Nepton family, and two were slightly taller, representing the two leaders of the patriarch and the lord.
The tenth highest and magnificent stone pillar appeared after Sandra unified the Nepton family, in a way that the king came.
Talos looked around for a week and found that all the family members who were eligible to enter the conference room had already taken seats in front of the stone pillars. According to tradition, only members of the Nepton family who met the multi-armed Naga conditions were eligible to enter the conference room. The number was around thirty.
Therefore, at first glance, what impressed Talos was not the snake tail that was averaging fifteen feet, which made him creepy, but his arms!
Yes, except for Talos and Emma, who were sitting in the conference room at this time, they were all four-armed Naga, the identity and combat power of a third-level bronze profession, and he was the only informal profession.
These family members were not stingy with their kindness. They nodded slightly after detecting Talos's gaze, although there was a trace of indelible regret and sigh deep in their eyes.
At the tops of the seven slightly shorter stone pillars, each sitting a four-armed Naga, with a back against the six-armed Naga statue and a long snake tail hanging down.
They are the seven elders of this generation of Nepton family, five women and two men, wearing gorgeous magic robes and a Nepton family badge on their chests. After seeing Talos appear in the conference room, they exchanged meaningful eyes with each other, thinking.
——The Nepton family’s badges are round and silver, with four elements in total.
In the middle is a crossed gold and silver, two magic wands of a poisonous snake were wrapped around it. Above the wand was a woman with snake hair, and the background was a wave.
On a slightly higher stone pillar, a sweet-looking female four-armed Naga was sitting, wearing a silver-green magical robe. She was stunned when she saw Talos, then she smiled even more and made a "welcome" lip at him.
Florence Nepton, Talos' aunt, has been staying at Walter Magic Manor to command family affairs, and like Leonhard, he is Sandra's left arm and right arm.
If it weren't for knowing Florence's identity, Talos would have been difficult for him to connect this sweet-looking four-armed Naga with Sandra who always smiled.
One of them is cold and arrogant, the other is gentle and sweet, and they have two completely different looks and personalities.
When Sandra sat down at the top of her own stone pillar, the family meeting officially began.
The previous topics seemed a bit boring to Talos. They were several family members reporting the benefits of the family industry to Sandra. A series of numbers and terms made Talos feel like he was attending a company meeting in another lifetime.
Time passed little by little, probably because he felt that no one would pay attention to him. Talos secretly yawned and quietly considered whether to eat four portions of mantis citrus or a large portion of seafood platter when he went back, and then successfully got a glare from Emma.
"...Affected by the impact of the Schulz family, Otto and Graf's two major families entering the field of magic prop manufacturing, the family's market share in this field fell by three percentage points this month, and its profit increased by five percentage points compared with the same period last year..."
Magic prop manufacturing has always been a traditional industry of the Nepton family, involving many fields such as magic wand making, magic robe textile, magic scroll making, magic armor production and magic weapon forging.
——Naga swordsmen (third level of bronze) who are one level higher than the Black Sea Knights and belong to the Black Sea Ice Peak Guards, from wearing armor to weapons and supplies, are all processed through enchantment technology and are manufactured for Nepton.
Sandra did not express any opinion on this and looked at Florence and asked: "Where has the progress of the magic book research progress?"
"At present, the magic book can carry up to five intermediate spells or two advanced spells. The final test is underway and is expected to be launched on the market in November this year."
"Start up, I hope the Schulz family can realize a mistake as soon as possible. The field of magic prop manufacturing is not something they can easily enter if they want."
"Yes, patriarch."
"Does other elders have any topics to add? Or the meeting ends."
Finally, after waiting for this part, Talos was energetic and straightened his back a little. This was his purpose to appear here tonight.
"Class leader, I have a topic here, about the "Special Genius Terms of Military Service in the Kingdom of Naga." A male four-armed Naga stood up from his seat and bowed slightly to Sandra and the seven elders.
Huh? The development of things was a bit beyond Talos' expectations. There was still this issue. He didn't hear any rumors before entering the conference room.
Niels was also surprised. His rich life experience made him understand immediately. There were many people who wanted to deprive Talos of the inheritance rights, but they could rush to show more family members to Sandra. A copy of the "Special Genius Terms of Military Service in the Kingdom of Naga" is enough to show a lot.
Military service on duty is a tradition in the Naga Kingdom. It has lasted for seven centuries from its birth date to the present. Noble privileges and exemptions from military service on duty are topics raised every once in a while.
The unfortunate death of the genius mage, Talos, is a hot topic of the Nepton family recently. If it weren't for Sandra's order and the fact that even Florence was staying in the magic manor, the family members who went to the Evelin to visit Talos these days would probably be able to easily exceed 100.
As Niels thought, the patriarch and the seven elders agreed to the Special Genius Terms and decided to submit them to the Kingdom Parliament for review immediately.
Niels sat in his seat, observing the expressions of the family members, especially the one who had tried to persuade him to deprive Talos of the inheritance together.
Will they still stick to it under such circumstances?
"Class leader, there is also an issue here-" Naga, a woman who is no younger than Niels, stood up and looked around for a week, "is about the list of succession."
Here comes!
Talos and Niels both turned their interested eyes on the four-armed Naga.
Time has not left too many traces on the four-armed Naga named Hurvich. She had a reserved smile on her face, and her voice fell clearly into Talos's ears through the current of water: "It may be a bit straightforward to say this, but there has been no precedent for non-magistrate professions to occupy the status of heirs in the Nepton family since ancient times."
PS:
1. The "Special Genius Terms for Military Service in the Kingdom of Naga" borrow the name of the "Special Genius Terms for the English Football League", and the content does not matter to a penny.
