Sophia was born in a collateral lineage, but in many cases, it doesn't matter whether you are the main family or not, as long as you are strong enough. .
Aristotle's family did have two master-level demon warlocks, but these two were nearly a hundred years old, and they were about to die. And Sophia is only in her early thirties. After becoming a master, due to the relationship between her age and the activation of the succubus blood, her lifespan should reach about 150 years old, and she might have a chance to become a legend.
Compared with the two old men, Sophia's future is too bright.
At this time, are the so-called collateral and direct descendants important
The carriage stopped in front of a manor, and the three got out of the carriage and entered the manor.
As an old family that has existed for hundreds of years, Aristotle has a lot of heritage and is also very low-key. Like the last battle for the throne, they stayed in peace and kept their presence as low as possible. lowest.
Then, dodging the waves of the battle for the throne without loss.
Perhaps for many families, opportunities are also born in crises, but Aristotle does not need opportunities, they have almost reached what a noble family can achieve.
Unless they want to be royalty.
Of course they had such thoughts, but there was an ancestor's precept three hundred years ago, strictly not to expect such things, otherwise disasters would happen. The words of the ancestral precepts are very strict, very strict, and there seems to be other advice behind it, but only the head of the family can see it.
Moreover, every Patriarch will strictly abide by the secret ancestral precepts after seeing the following. If someone in the clan has such an idea, he will be advised first, and if he still does not give up, he will be directly expelled from the clan.
The three of them entered the manor, and Sophia became the host and greeted Beta. Helen was on the side, looking a little nervous, raising her head to look at Beta from time to time, then lowering her head again.
The three ate, drank, chatted leisurely, and there were servants serving them beside them.
Sophia likes this kind of situation very much. Although she still loves her husband very much, it is also a good thing to spend time with Beta like this once in a while. Besides, there was Helen next to her, so she was not afraid of any rumors being spread.
Not long after, the housekeeper came over and said that the head of the house invited Beta to meet him. In addition, he also hoped that Sophia could come over too.
The two got up and were taken to a study by the housekeeper.
As soon as Beta entered, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair stood up and bowed slightly to salute: "I am very glad that the Pope of the God of Wealth can visit our family in person. This matter is worthy of being recorded in the family history , remember thousands of tens of thousands of years."
"Patriarch Aristotle, you are too polite." Beta waved his hand.
The three sat down one by one. As the host, Aristotle naturally got to talk: "Your Majesty the Pope, do you have something to do with your visit to our family?"
It's no wonder that he asked directly, Beta's reputation is now very loud in the noble family of Hollevin. Whether it's strength, ability, or heart... dare to challenge the eldest prince, and after the eldest prince became a king, he dared not take revenge. Now that he is the Pope and a miracle, no one from any family will be trembling when they see him of!
"I invite Beta... the pope to come and take a look at our family's summoning magic circle."
Sophia rushed to help Beta answer, but she was too used to getting along with Beta, so she called him by his first name familiarly.
The owner's name was Levin. He heard the feeling, raised his eyebrows slightly, but pretended not to know anything: "So that's the case. Here, I would like to express my thanks again."
He stood up and bowed to Beta again.
The person in front of him is the Pope. Although the Wealth God Sect is a small religion now, in terms of status, Beta is essentially the same as a king. And even if it is a small sect, the power of the God of Wealth Sect is greater than that of the Aristotle family.
Besides, some time ago, after Woking performed a miracle in Hollevin, more and more people now believe in the Wealth Religion. While most were businessmen, many women also came to believe in her.
The reason is that the teachings of Woking Gods have been spread. In addition to the principles of life, many women are surprised to find that women have a high status in the teachings of Wealth Gods. Moreover, there is also the guarantee of marriage.
For example, if a man wants to marry a new wife because he sees something different, and there is nothing wrong with the woman, and the woman believes in the God of Wealth, as long as she makes an oath to ask for help in front of the goddess statue, she will get feedback from the goddess. After confirming that the matter is true, The Wojin Temple will send people to help the woman get one-third of the man's property.
It's divorce compensation.
Woking is the goddess who controls wealth. It is very easy to do this kind of thing, as long as the money circulates according to a certain intention.
Men naturally don't like this kind of thing very much, it's just that women secretly believe in religion, and there is nothing they can do about it.
The most important thing is that Wojin is now a god of neutrality and order, and it is impossible for anyone to accuse her of being an evil god. No one can expressly forbid the propagation of her teachings without any just cause.
Can only secretly contain.
It's just that the spread of Woking's teachings is faster.
Now many merchants put small statues of Woking in their homes and pray for a while from time to time.
As the pope, Beta's status has also risen accordingly.
"Why don't we go and see the Summoning Magic Circle now?" Sophia looked at her Patriarch: "Pope Beta's time is also very tight."
Levin nodded repeatedly and said yes, saying that he didn't think of it for a while, and he really neglected the distinguished guests.
The three of them entered the basement of the manor through the secret passage of the organ.
A huge magic circle appeared in front of me, but only half of the magic patterns were lit, and the other half did not have any magic power response.
"More than a month ago, there was a problem with the magic circle." Levin said: "This magic circle was built by our ancestors. It is very complicated. Our descendants only know how to use it, but don't know how to maintain it. It may be too long Relationship, the magic circle is damaged."
Beta walked around the magic circle, and then said: "The magic circle is not damaged naturally, but man-made. Under normal circumstances, any perfect magic circle can operate if it is not damaged by external force or terrain. Thousands of years, yours, at most no more than four hundred years."
Levin's face became gloomy: "Man-made damage? The people who can enter here are the core members of our family. Who the hell!"
Sophia's focus is on the other hand: "Can it be fixed."
The way of thinking of the two is obviously different. As the head of the family, Levin maintains the stability of the family is his top priority. As for Sophia, who is a collateral and a married daughter, she came back this time to see if there is anything she can do to help. Naturally, she wanted to get things done quickly so that she could go back to her own home to live.
She didn't want to pay attention to the internal struggle in her natal family.
"Yes." Beta nodded: "But it requires a lot of magic materials, about three hundred or more gold coins."
As soon as these words came out, the two people next to them were obviously relieved.
"I will make a list later, you just need to send someone to buy magic materials. By the way, I hope you can gather the materials within three days. I have other important things to deal with after three days."
Levine immediately said: "No problem, His Majesty the Pope, we will never waste your time."
The three left the basement, Helen was still waiting in the hall, when she saw Beta coming out, she immediately lowered her head shyly.
Sophia wanted to take Beta to the guest room to rest herself, but Levin said, "Helen, take the Pope to the biggest and best room to rest, Sophia, come with me, there are some things I want to talk to you .”
Helen led Beta up to the fourth floor shyly.
Sophia and Levin went to the study.
Sophia sat down and said, "Uncle, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
Levin looked Sophia up and down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that among the younger generation, you are the one with the best achievements. If I knew this, I wouldn't let you marry outside."
"Thank you uncle for your compliment." Sophia smiled.
"There is one thing, you may be upset if I say it, but out of convention, I still have to ask." Levin took a deep breath: "This is not a forced request or order, but a request, you can refuse , You can also ignore it, no one will say anything to you, but out of the teachings of the ancestors, I still have to ask."
Sophia frowned, looking at Levin's serious expression, she felt that it was not a good thing. But the other party is so sincere, she has no way not to listen: "Uncle, tell me."
"I hope you can leave a descendant for our master's family."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Sophia asked coldly, "Bloodline purification?"
"Yes!" Levin nodded, embarrassed.
Many aristocratic families with special bloodlines like intermarriage of outstanding descendants to ensure the purity of bloodlines. Although there is a danger of deformed children, the probability of a genius is the same. "
"And you, uncle?" Sophia's tone was mocking.
Levin shook his head: "Of course not me. It's the most handsome and talented John in our clan. He is only 14 years old now, and he is already an elite summoner. He has also reached the age where he can give birth to offspring."
Sophia shook her head: "I'm sorry to refuse."
"The family will give you the greatest compensation."
Sophia smiled: "I am the wife of the castellan of Winterwind City, and I actually control a city. My husband loves me very much, I have a harmonious and beautiful family, and I have a good reputation. Why should I give up my family and my present life?" What's the point of having more compensation? Am I stupid?"
Levin sighed: "Really not?"
"no!"
Levin was silent for a while, and said: "Then let's put it another way. You find a way to obtain the essence of His Majesty Beta and conceive his child. We will do everything possible to assist you, including using the succubus eyes. We will use everything means, to help you cover up the traces of this year until you give birth to a child. For example, let Helen transform into your appearance and live with your husband. Or use other more appropriate means. It will definitely not let your status and reputation, in any way."
"Why do you have such thoughts, uncle." Sophia asked after a long silence.
Levin smiled and said, "Because I can see that you seem to be very familiar with His Majesty the Pope, very familiar."
