End of the Magic Era
Chapter 279 Title
Nevertheless, I can't walk together, it doesn't make any difference to me...
Thinking of this, Lin Yun shook his head. With William Merlyn, he stepped onto the third floor of this stone tower. The ground was covered with white moonstone. It looked glossy and neat. There were some oil paintings on the walls beside it. Although Lin Yun could not see what the name of the house was from, he could guess the colours and lines. It was not cheap...
“True, true...”
William Merlyn knocked gently on the study door and then heard an old voice coming from inside: “Come in. ”
The study room is large, neat seven or eight rows of bookshelves, fan-shaped around the study, the fire of the fireplace is very bright, even in this late autumn weather, can not feel a hint of chill, on the chair next to the fireplace, sitting a small old man, looking almost seventy years old, the old man can still see a shadow of a young man, when two people come in, the old man's face shows a smile: “Good work all the way, sit down. ”
“Your Excellency Hoffland, you are so kind...” Lin Yun nodded at the old man with a smile, but sat down without being polite.
“Huh…” the old man began with a slight glimpse, as he noticed that he was called His Excellency Hoffland, not Grandpa.
Hoffland stepped into the realm of the sealed Wizard 10 years ago, and in Auckland, if it was normal, Lin Yun said that there was nothing wrong with him calling His Excellency Hoffland.
But don't forget...
It was the first day Lin Yun returned to the Merlin family.
Family power is sustained by kinship, so in general, the third generation of the Merlin family will only call Hoffland their grandfather.
But now Lin Yun calls him His Excellency Hoffland...
As soon as Hoffland heard this name, he knew that the other party's return to the Merlin family was much more difficult than he thought...
When I think of this, Hofflandon has a headache...
When Jude Merlyn left, only Hoffland knew that Jude Merlyn was going to Thousand Fans City, and when he left, he told Hoffland again and again, and no one could ever know about it, so Hoffland kept his mouth shut about it for so many years, because Hoffland knew that if Jude Merlyn knew that he had not kept a secret, the consequences would be unthinkable...
Until recently, because of a coincidence, Hoffland was told of the presence of a large number of forged weapons from the Pyramid Iron Ore in Chihuan City. Hoffland only sent people to Chihuan City. However, it was discovered that the masters of these Pyramid Iron Ore, and it was indeed the descendants of the Merlin family who were displaced. When he heard of this news, Hoffland was emotional for a long time. Jude Merlin, who was as overshadowed as a shadow, was no longer there. Even his son, Log Merlin, appeared to have been buried recently in a marine disaster...
The only thing left is a grandson named Mafa Merlyn...
Besides, this Mafa Merlin is not happy to hear about it.
To that end, Hoffland sent William Merlyn, on the one hand, to talk about the Prudential Iron Ore and, on the other, to help that Mafa Merlyn.
But I didn't think...
After William Merlyn went to Thousand Fan City, he immediately discovered that the situation was not as good as he had imagined. Yes, Mafa Merlyn did possess a glistening iron ore vein, but he had no intention of transferring the glistening iron vein. Moreover, the alchemy store, which was rumoured to be heavily indebted, had already run a red fire and had a complete monopoly on Thousand Fan City's alchemy business, not to mention that even the nearby Qiyan City often had merchants and mercenaries purchasing gold from them.
The Merlin family itself has some alchemy business. How can Hoffland, head of the Merlin family, not know how lucrative the alchemy business is...
Don't talk about Qiyancheng...
The monopoly of the Thousand Fan City alchemy business alone is very scary. It can never be described by the rich A side. William Merlyn even once said that looking at the whole of Thousand Fan City can compete with Ma Fa Merlyn for wealth, I'm afraid there is only the Munch family that has been operating for a thousand years.
When I heard about these things, Hoffland actually had some regrets...
If I had focused earlier on Thousand Fans and earlier on Jude Merlyn's grandson, I'm afraid that Mafa Merlyn, who can work harder than the Munchies, would have been a member of the Merlyn family earlier.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say all this...
In his letter, William Merlyn made it clear that Mafa Merlyn was not very interested in returning to the Merlyn family, or even had some resistance, and that if he were to send someone to contact him, it might be counterproductive.
So for a long time, Hoffland Merlyn didn't send any more men to Thousand Fan City, just to keep William Merlyn there, get him to do his best with Mafa Merlyn, and convey the Merlyn family's will in due course.
Because Hoffland Merlyn knows that he has missed the best opportunity…
Mafa Merlin grew up in Qianfan City for 20 years and has had no contact with anyone in the Merlin family at all, especially since then, when Log Merlin suffered a shipwreck and the entire Flash Gold Chamber went bankrupt overnight, almost exclusively by Mafa Merlin alone.
Now that Mafa Merlyn is rich and has enough wealth to make the Merlyn family feel comfortable, sending someone else to contact him at this time will only make him feel like he is stealing his property.
Ultimately, Mafa Merlin, who grew up in such an environment, could never have thought of himself as a Merlin.
Hoffland, as head of the Merlin family, knows this better than anyone else.
That's right, family power does depend on kinship, but if you want to rely on kinship alone, let a big businessman with a huge fortune reintroduce the Merlin family, something that I'm afraid only elders who know nothing about all day think is possible.
Hoffland knows it's a long way to go to get Mafa Merlyn back into the Merlyn family...
Fortunately, after a few months of hard work, Hoffland finally waited for an opportunity.
William Merlyn brought back an amazing piece of news.
Mafa Merlin wants to enter the Merlin family ancestral land!
This is a rare opportunity for the Merlin family...
This is almost obvious...
The Merlin ancestral land is not easy to get into, but it's just for the average person. Which one of the true Merlin core children has never entered the ancestral land? Take William Merlyn and his group, Oye Merlyn went in, Lyon Merlyn went in, Rosemary went in, even William Merlyn will enter the family's ancestral land this year...
Mafa Merlin wants to enter the ancestral land, although there are some irregularities, but isn't there an exception to everything...
As long as the elders raise their hands and sit in the gold-plated roses of immense wealth, they will return to the Merrill Forest family.
At that time, Hoffland was pleased and promised a number of conditions.
Although these conditions are of little significance to the Merlin family, in Hoffland's view they are also a matter of importance to Mafa Merlin.
Then there was a conversation between the two sides through William Merlyn, which was quite amusing.
But it didn't occur to me that things got to the Presbyterian Church and suddenly got stuck.
Because the Presbyterian Church's old men, who knew nothing but empty talk, refused Mafa Merlin's request to enter their ancestral lands on the grounds that they could not undermine family traditions.
Hoffland Merlyn almost went mad on the spot...
At that time, Hoffland Merlyn really wanted to point to the nose of those old men and ask, do you know how much Mafa Merlyn has tremendous wealth in Qianfan City, do you know how much the family tradition in your mouth will cost the family?
Unfortunately, that was the case with the Merlyn family, and the Presbyterian Church was very powerful.
Even Hoffland, the head of the Merlin family, did not dare to try to suppress the Presbyterian Church with the sovereign authority of the family until he was absolutely sure. Failure to do so would be a small matter. The key is likely to cause the Presbyterian Church to impeach, and even Hoffland's position as the head of the family will not necessarily hold steady.
At that time, Hoffland fantasized that Mafa Merlyn had offered to enter the Merlyn family ancestral land only in order to have a good name, so that things would not be difficult. All he had to do was promise him a few promises, calm him down first, promise him to wait until the time was right to let him enter the family ancestral land, even if the matter was solved.
One of the conditions for entering the Merlin ancestral lands is to honour the Merlin family.
This is not difficult in Hoffland's view, and for a big businessman with a huge fortune, helping the Merlyn family with a business is a credit.
By then, let him enter the Merlin family ancestral land, which is a scene of great joy...
……
That “Your Excellency” just now made Hoffland realize that the descendants of the family he had never met seemed to speak less well than he had imagined...
“About your entry into the ancestral land...” Hoffland opened his mouth and wanted to explain two words...
Honestly, at this time, Hoffland's mind was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a heralded magician and head of the Merlin family. He promised well, but now he mistrusts a young man who is decades younger than himself. If he speaks out, laughter is enough to make people laugh off their teeth...
“Nothing, Excellency Hoffland...” Lin Yun smiled and looked calm on his face: “I just want to know how to get into the Merlin family's ancestral land. ”
“This...” Hoffland was a little embarrassed when he heard it.
Normally, access to the Merlin ancestral lands is not difficult.
But this time I didn't know what was going on. The voice of the Presbyterian Church was strangely hard, and for a moment, Hoffland was really afraid to say anything.
