Chapter 272

But forget it, it doesn't make any difference to me whether we go together or not...

/

Thinking of this, Lin Yun shook his head, and together with William Merlin, set foot on the third floor of this stone tower. The floor was covered with white moon stones, which looked smooth and neat. There were some oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. Although I can't tell it came from a famous hand, but looking at the colors and lines, I can guess that it is not cheap...

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

William Merlin knocked lightly on the study door, and then heard an old voice from inside: "Come in."

The study is very large, with seven or eight neat rows of bookshelves surrounding the study in the shape of a fan. The flame of the fireplace is burning so vigorously that even in this late autumn weather, you can't feel the slightest chill. There was an old man with a short stature, who looked to be in his seventies, and there was still a trace of his youth on his face, and when he saw the two came in, a smile appeared on his face: "All the way. It's hard work, sit down and talk."

"Your Excellency Hovland, you are too polite..." Lin Yun smiled and nodded at the old man, but sat down without being polite.

"Haha..." The old man was slightly startled at first, because he noticed that the other party called himself Lord Hofland, not grandpa.

Hovland stepped into the realm of the titled wizard ten years ago, and he is also a top-notch existence in Oakland. If it is normal, there is nothing wrong with Lin Yun calling him His Excellency Hovland.

But don't forget...

This is the first day that Lin Yun returned to the Merlin family.

Family power is maintained by blood relationship, so under normal circumstances, the third generation of the Merlin family will only call Hovland grandpa.

but now. Lin Yun called him His Excellency Hofland...

As soon as Hovland heard this title, he knew that the matter of the other party's return to the Merlin family would be much more difficult than imagined...

Thinking of this, Hofland suddenly had a headache...

then. When Judmelin left, only Hovland knew that Judmelin was going to Qianfan City, and before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Hovland that this matter must not be known to anyone, so so For years, Hofland has been tight-lipped about it because Hofland knew it. If Jud Merlin knew that he did not keep his secrets, the consequences would be unimaginable...

until recently,

Due to an accidental reason, I heard that there were a large number of weapons forged from the ghost iron ore in Qianfan City, so Hovland sent people to Qianfan City, only to find out that the people who master these ghost iron ore are the Merlin family. Descendants, when I heard the news. Hovland sighed with emotion for a long time. Judd Merlin, who shrouded his head like a shadow, is no longer there. Even his son Roger Merlin seems to have been buried in a shipwreck recently...

The only thing left is a grandson named Mafa Merlin...

Moreover, this Mafa Merlin heard that her life was still unsatisfactory.

For this reason, Hofland sent William Merlin, on the one hand to talk about the Nether Iron Mine, and on the other hand to help that Mafa Merlin.

I didn't expect...

After William Merlin went to Qianfan City, he immediately found that the situation was not what he imagined. That's right. Mafa Merlin does have a Nether Iron Ore vein in his hands, but he has no intention of transferring this Nether Iron Ore vein at all. Moreover, the alchemy shop that was rumored to be heavily in debt had already been operating prosperously. Not to mention the complete monopoly of the alchemy business in Qianfan City, even in the nearby Qiyan City, there are often some merchants and mercenaries who buy alchemy items from them.

The Merlin family has some alchemy business in its own name. As the head of the Merlin family, how could Hofland not know how lucrative the alchemy business is...

Not to mention Qiyan City...

Just monopolizing the alchemy business of Qianfan City is very terrifying. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rich party. William Merlin even once said that looking at the entire Qianfan City, the only one who can compete with Mafa Merlin for wealth is probably the only one. The Monchi family has been in business for thousands of years.

When I heard about these things, Hofland actually had some regrets...

If I had paid more attention to Qianfan City and Jad Merlin's grandson earlier, then now, Mafa Merlin, who can compete with the Monchi family in terms of financial resources, may have long been a member of the Merlin family.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say that now...

William Merlin's letter clearly stated that Mafa Merlin did not have much interest in returning to the Merlin family, and even had some resistance. If he sent someone to contact him rashly, he might even arouse the other party's disgust.

So all along, Hofland Merlin has not sent anyone to Qianfan City, just let William Merlin stay there, let him try his best to have a good relationship with Mafa Merlin, and convey the wishes of the Merlin family at an appropriate time.

Because Hofland Merlin knows that he has missed the best opportunity...

Mafa Merlin has grown up in Qianfan City for 20 years and has never had contact with anyone in the Merlin family. Especially after this, Rogmelin was shipwrecked and the entire Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce went bankrupt overnight. At that time, It was almost entirely supported by Mafa Merlin alone.

Now, Mafa Merlin is already rich and has enough wealth to move the Merlin family. At this time, sending someone to contact him will only make him feel that he is trying to steal his property.

After all, it was impossible for Mafa Merlin who grew up in such an environment to regard himself as a member of the Merlin family.

As the head of the Merlin family, Hovland knows this better than anyone.

Yes, family power is indeed maintained by blood relationship, but if you want to rely only on blood relationship, let a big businessman with huge wealth return to the Merlin family, this kind of thing, I am afraid only the elders who only know about it all day. Only the old guy who talks about it thinks that it is possible.

Hovland knew that there was still a long, long way to go for Mafa Merlin to return to the Merlin family...

Fortunately, after months of waiting, Hofland finally got an opportunity.

William Merlin came back with surprising news.

Mafa Merlin wants to enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Merlin family...

It's almost obvious...

Although it is not easy to enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family, it is only for ordinary people. Which of the real core children of the Merlin family has not entered the ancestral land? Take William Merlin and his group as an example. Oye Merlin went in, Leon Merlin went in, Rose Merlin went in, and even William Merlin will enter the family ancestral land this year...

Mafa Merlin wants to enter the ancestral land, although it is a bit unruly, but aren't there exceptions to everything...

As long as the elders of the Presbyterian Church raised their hands and sat on the gilded roses with huge wealth, they would return to the Merrill family name.

At that time, Hovland agreed to a lot of conditions in a happy mood.

Although these conditions are of little significance to the Merlin family, in Hofland's view, this is also a kind of emphasis on Mafa Merlin.

Then, the two sides had a conversation through William Merlin, which can be regarded as a very pleasant conversation.

Unexpectedly, when the matter reached the Presbyterian Church, it suddenly got stuck.

Because, those old fellows in the Presbyterian Church who only know empty talk all day, actually refused Mafa Merlin's request to enter the ancestral land on the grounds that they could not destroy the family tradition.

Hofland Merlin almost went crazy on the spot...

At that time, Hofland Merlin really wanted to point to the noses of those old guys and ask, do you know how much wealth Mafa Merlin has in Qianfan City, and do you know the family tradition in your mouth? What a huge loss to the family.

It's a pity that the Merlin family is like this, and the Presbyterian Church has a lot of power.

Even Hofland, the head of the Merlin family, did not dare to try to suppress the Presbyterian Council with the authority of the patriarch until he was absolutely sure. If he failed, it would be a trivial matter to lose face. Even Hofland, the head of the family, may not be able to sit firmly.

At that time, Hovland was still imagining that Mafa Merlin proposed to enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family just to have a legitimate identity. In this case, things were not difficult to handle. As long as he made some promises to him, he should be appeased first. Promise him to let him enter the family ancestral land when the time is right, and the matter will be resolved.

One of the conditions for entering the ancestral land of the Merlin family is to make a contribution to the Merlin family.

This is not difficult in Hofland's view. For a big businessman with huge wealth, helping the Merlin family to complete a business casually can be regarded as a feat.

When the time comes, let him enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family, it will be a happy scene...

However……

The "Your Excellency" just now made Hofland realize that this descendant of the family who has never met, doesn't seem to be as talkative as he thought...

"About your entry into the ancestral land..." Hovland opened his mouth and wanted to explain a few words...

To be honest, Hovland felt a little embarrassed at this time. After all, he was a titled sorceress and the head of the Merlin family. He promised well at first, but now he is a little bit younger than him. Young people lose their trust, if this is said, it will be enough to make people laugh out loud...

"It's nothing, Your Excellency Hovland..." Lin Yun smiled with a calm expression on his face: "I just want to know how to enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family."

"This..." Hofland felt a little troubled when he heard this.

Normally, it is not difficult to enter the ancestral land of the Merlin family.

But this time, I don't know what's going on. The Presbyterian's voice was surprisingly tough. For a while, Hofland really didn't dare to promise anything.
