Ryan only talked to the soul of the female dark elf commander for a few minutes. He had no time to understand the etiquette of most dark elves in detail. And with Ryan's current strength, he was actually willing to sit down and talk to the mistress. Dining at the table has given the other party a great deal of face. Of course, others did not think so until Ryan showed his true strength.
While Ryan was using the tableware to start enjoying the breakfast in front of him, the other dark elves were all sitting there. Only after Madam Maris picked up the tableware, these dark elves started to eat barbecue, fruits and other things. As for the food, a dark elf sitting next to Ryan and the one at the back of the entire dining table stood up. She walked behind the chair, straightened her body and said loudly: "Ms. Due to Mistress Special's decree, the family's business volume with Rakshasa demons, Thor demons, etc. has plummeted. However, the selling prices of magic items have soared due to the Thousand Years of War...
Matron Maris slowly ate the food in front of her and listened to the dark elf's report. After she finished speaking, Matron Maris waved her wrist to indicate that she understood, and then the dark elf who reported it She sat back down and started to enjoy breakfast, while the other person next to her put down the tableware, also stood behind her chair, and reported to Mother Maris in a loud voice,
Ryan listened to a few words. These are the internal affairs of the Hrudian family, covering many aspects such as foreign trade, the training of family personnel, the recruitment of new strong men, and the production of enchanted items within the family. He is almost qualified to sit down. The people eating at this table are all figures who can take charge of the Hrudian family. Although the dark elves closest to Matron Maris are not very responsible for specific affairs, they are members of this family. Direct blood relatives, it can be said that almost all the important characters of the Hrudian family are concentrated in the hall now.
Ryan didn't know that this was the Hrudian family's most powerful means of winning people's hearts. Through this seemingly ordinary breakfast, the people who were won over were filled with gratitude to the family for Mother Maris, because this It is equivalent to treating them as the core members of this guy, but for the Lane couple, it is a very lame method.
As the overlord of Cassano, Ryan usually sits in the position of the current Mistress Maris when he is in the Iron Fist Castle. How can he be infinitely grateful for the power of "presenting" now, and Fa Ras couldn't understand these long speeches at all, and he didn't even know what they said. Of course, if Faras, who had actual experience in handling government affairs, could understand these dark elves, he would definitely sneer at this so-called "emperor's mind trick". It's just a briefing on the news, nothing particularly important. Even if you have the qualification to be here, you will know about it a day and a half earlier than outsiders. And once it is leaked in advance, you can take the opportunity to clean up the family. disloyal personnel,
After everyone had finished reporting, the breakfast was almost over. At the signal of Matron Maris, other irrelevant personnel left, leaving only La Nina, Senetia and others. There were two female dark elf legendary magicians who stayed. At this time, La Nina said: "Mr. Irisela, regarding Senetia's request to be your teacher, it is related to the interests of the family, so we must Be cautious, so..."
"I think I need to emphasize that I have not agreed to this request so far, so you must pay attention to this in your words." Ryan shook his head and interrupted La Nina. He paused and then continued. Said: "I hate this attitude. Don't think that I really want to join your family, or become a teacher of your family's direct blood relatives. It is just a useless burden to me."
As soon as Ryan said these words, the people present were all in a daze. It was obvious that they did not expect Ryan to say this. La Nina reacted the fastest. Because of Senitea, she She recommended Ryan to her mother, but she didn't expect that the other party didn't care about such a rare opportunity at all, so she quickly said: "Ah, it seems that there may be some misunderstanding between us, but what did I mean just now..." "
"No need to beat around the bush." Matron Maris suddenly interrupted her daughter's words. She turned to Ryan and said: "Be more direct, Mr. Irisela, I am very interested in your enchanting skills. You can offer a price, and if you can prove that you have sufficient strength, the title of the family's chief enchantment master can also be given to you."
"The Hrudian family ranks seventh among the hundreds of families in this Isopaton city, right? Even the top 100 families in Isopaton city in the entire dark elf territory cannot be squeezed in. , right, and a race as powerful as the Dark Elves can only coexist with six other races in another world, right."; Ryan's three "right"s in a row directly showed what he wanted to express, and he even There is no need to go on. Since the Hrudian family is so insignificant, why should Ryan care about the so-called title of chief of the family
These words made everyone, including Maris, look bad. Being pointed out in public that the family they were proud of was insignificant would be a heavy blow to these ambitious dark elves. However, what Ryan said What she said was completely true, and there were no insulting words in her words. Therefore, Mother Maris did not intend to have an attack, so she spoke slowly after a moment of silence: "It seems that I am too underestimated." I'm sorry for killing you two. As for my daughter Senetia learning the art of enchantment from you, I think..."
"Wait, wait, you're talking about daughter, isn't he a boy?" Ryan was shocked when he heard this. He clearly saw that Senetia was a dark elf boy, so why did Mother Maris actually say that she was him? However, before anyone could answer this question, the door of the hall was pushed open forcefully, and a fully armed dark elf warrior stumbled in, and he immediately became the focus of everyone here.
"Hmph, it's so rude to look so flustered." La Nina couldn't help scolding, and then she said loudly: "What's your name? Oh, by the way, Jabaro, it's not your first day. You're on duty, haven't you learned to be prudent yet? What's all the fuss about? If you can't tell me, don't blame me for using family punishment..."
"It's a big deal, it's a bad thing, Mistress." The dark elf warrior Jabalo gasped and said, "The Moeller family, the Moeller family has launched a bloody family war against us."
"What." All the real dark elves, including Mother Maris, stood up. Mother Maris teleported to the male dark elf warrior Jabalo. She spoke word by word. The man said: "When did it start? The other party has those allies. Please tell me the details. Don't miss anything."
"Master... Mistress, the specific situation is this." The dark elf warrior Jabalo's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and his body gradually knelt on the ground. He seemed to be very weak and didn't know. Is it because he ran too fast that his physical strength declined rapidly, or did he become like this because of some injury? Mother Maris was concerned and did not think about it carefully, so she used her hands to support him, trying to drag him aside. Sit down on the chair,
At this time, a legendary magician who stayed behind also walked over quickly. She was holding a cup in her hand, filled with water. The female dark elf said loudly as she walked: "Mother, please let me do it." Come on, let him drink some water and take a short rest. It won't delay anything. The defense of our family headquarters is the strongest in the entire Isopaton city. It is not inferior to the first family. Although Moeller ranks We are in second place, but we also have allies, and with such a strong defense, we can survive a month of bloody battle."
After hearing this, Mistress Maris felt that it made sense. She also felt that the top priority was not to panic, so Mistress Maris stepped aside to get out of the way, and the female magician behind her held a glass of water with her. As they passed each other, at the moment when their bodies were extremely short, the female magician's hand shook inexplicably, causing a glass of water to spill out, and poured it towards Madam Maris, but the water When it touched the clothes on the body of Mistress Maris, it immediately turned into tiny pieces of ice and fell down. It was obvious that the mistress had strict magical protection.
Mother Maris's face suddenly became serious. She was about to scold this reckless behavior, but unexpectedly, there was a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. The magic barrier that should have taken effect did not block this sudden blow. The sharp dagger was pierced deeply into the vital part of her lower abdomen, and the owner of the dagger was the male dark elf warrior Jabalo who stumbled in to report the news.
Mother Maris roared, and powerful mana fluctuations surged out of her body, directly ejecting the female legendary magician and the dark elf warrior Jabaro who were close to her, but the magic effect was not over yet. , but Matron Maris' own body was shaky, and she actually felt that her mind was showing signs of coma, confusion, and other signs. Apparently, the blade of the dagger that stabbed her was smeared with an unusually toxic drug.
"Mother."
"Mother, be careful."
La Nina and others at the other end of the long table were too far away to lend a helping hand. The only thing they could do was to shout a warning, but at this time all the dark elf guards were far outside the hall. Whether it was La Nina and the others who rushed over, or the guards from outside who rushed in, there was no time to stop the two assassins with ulterior motives from launching another fatal attack.
