Chapter 338 Voting

Soon, the negotiation on Legon Merlin's side came to a conclusion.

As Lin Yun expected, the first person to stand up was Legan, who looked to be in his 60s, and saw the old man with white hair meticulously combed leaning on the chair and slowly stood up: "Huo Huo Patriarch Fran, I have to remind you cautiously, 30 million gold coins is not a small amount, and the Merlin family does not have such strong financial resources to support a plane army to sweep casually on the plane of Raging Flames. I personally think that, The family should write a letter to Thorne Merlin, telling him that his mission is to obtain wealth from the Plane of Fury, not to consume Merlin's wealth in plane wars."

"Elder Legan..." As soon as the old man's voice fell, Oye Merlin stood up on the side, with obvious dissatisfaction on his face: "My father fought for many years on the plane of Raging Flames, but he once did a damage The decision of the Merlin family's interests? If it wasn't for the fierce attack of the Furious Flame Orcs, which caused heavy losses to the plane army, how could my father ask for reinforcements?"

"Hehe, Aoye, you are worried about your father's safety, I can understand that, but you have to be clear, the Merlin family is not serving the interests of one person, how much your father has made in the plane of anger in the past few years. The good thing, you know, I know, everyone knows, now it's 30 million gold coins when you open your mouth, really when the Merlin family is specializing in minting gold coins, I can tell you clearly, now the Merlin family is very tight financially, 30 million gold coins are not at all If you can’t come up with it, Aoye, if you have the ability, you can collect the 30 million gold coins yourself. I can even help you persuade the Presbyterian Church to use the 30 million gold coins as your personal investment for Aoye. In the future, the Merlin family will You, Oye, can monopolize 10% of the benefits of the Raging Flame Plane!"

"You!" Oye Merlin's face suddenly flushed, but after opening his mouth, he didn't say anything.

No way, this is Oye Merlin's biggest weakness.

Oyemelin is an alchemist...

Everyone knows that the resources needed to train an alchemist is simply an astronomical figure, especially for a master craftsman like Oye Merlin, who is completely piled up with resources, the resources consumed can be described as terrifying. It can be said that, Oye Merlin's father, Thorne Merlin's benefits from the plane of Raging Flames in recent years, have all been invested in Oye Merlin. Now, father and son, let alone 30 million gold coins, they will take 3 million gold coins. can't come out...

This is also the real reason why Oye Merlin wants to take a stake in the gilded rose...

Oyemelin needed such a machine for minting gold coins.

It's a pity that Mafa Merlin is too ignorant...

"In short, the finances of the Merlin family have not allowed too many reinforcements to the Raging Flame Plane, so my personal opinion is that reinforcements are okay, but they can be controlled within five million gold coins. For more, we can only wait. The Merlin family's financial situation improves..."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

...

After Legon Merlin made his conclusion,

Soon, six or seven elders expressed their support, all of whom were surrounded by Legang Merlin before, and they were obviously in the same camp as Legang.

"Elders, I believe that I don't need to say anything more about the Raging Flame Plane. Everyone knows it better than me. I just want to say that now, all the forces in Oakland are competing for the Raging Flame Plane. It can be said that the future three In a hundred years, whoever has mastered the plane of raging flames can become the first force in Auckland. Now, my father led the plane army to fight hard on the plane of raging flames, and resisted the fierce attacks of the raging flame orcs. All I want is some support from the family, only 30 million gold coins. Where can the family save a little, can they really not get these 30 million gold coins? You know, these 30 million gold coins will guarantee the Merlin family. Not falling behind in the battle for the plane of Raging Flames will preserve a glimmer of hope for the Merlin family to compete for the No. 1 power in Auckland. Think carefully about whether these 30 million gold coins are worth it..."

Oye Merlin's words obviously resonated with some elders...

As a result, the Presbyterian Church began to become lively.

With the exception of Rose Merlin and Leon Merlin who abstained from voting, the remaining fourteen elders were completely divided into two factions, arguing endlessly over whether the 30 million gold coins should be spent on the military...

Lin Yun has opened his eyes...

The solemn and sacred Presbyterian Church has completely turned into a vegetable market. Those elders who are usually well-dressed and dignified have become bargaining aunts and hawkers. For the military expenses of 30 million gold coins, they rolled up their sleeves and sprayed saliva, making a noise. An inexorable...

For a full hour...

The quarrel lasted an entire hour.

In the end, neither can convince the other.

"Okay, this issue is put on hold for the time being..." After an hour, Patriarch Hofland, who had been rubbing his temples, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took a chance for both parties to drink water to breathe, and inserted a sentence.

There is no objection to this decision...

Because everyone knows that if you continue to quarrel like this, it is impossible to quarrel with any result. After all, now everyone is not sure to overwhelm each other, unless Hovland can come forward and let him use the authority of the patriarch to make a final decision.

but……

Nobody will do that.

Even when the quarrel was the most intense, Legon Merlin and Oye Merlin tacitly did not invite Hofland to come forward. This was the most basic tacit understanding of the Presbyterian Church. Anyone who violated it would be excluded by the entire Presbyterian Church. , because once Hovland comes forward, it means that he has the opportunity to intervene in the Presbyterian Church...

This is not a matter of 30 million gold coins or 50 million gold coins...

So, a controversial issue was shelved in this tacit understanding...

Hovland also knew what the two sides were thinking, so he just sighed and then raised the second issue: "Then is the second issue, which was jointly proposed by the thirteen elders, the age of Mafa Merlin in Qianfan City. It is too young, inexperienced, and lacks in ability to operate the Gilded Rose alone. Therefore, it is suggested that Mafa Merlin first hand over the management rights of the Gilded Rose, and the elders of the Merlin Family will manage it for a period of time. After maturity, it will be handed over to him again, what do you think?"

This time, the family council room was surprisingly quiet.

All the elders sat on their seats, and no one discussed with others, because there was no need to discuss, this was the decision of the entire elders...

"I agree." Legon Merlin stood up again: "First of all, I want to state that, Mafa Merlin, the reason why I want to express my agreement is not because of my personal dissatisfaction with you, but for the interests of the entire Merlin family. You are only in your twenties now, you are really too young, when I was your age, I was still worrying about thousands of gold coins, but you have already mastered gilded roses and huge wealth..."

Having said this, Legon Merlin changed his words: "But you don't have the ability to use this wealth. You can see what you have done in Oakland during this period of time. More than a month ago, you were in the Black Point Chamber of Commerce. At the auction, you spent a full 37 million gold coins just to buy a few magic materials, especially the last star gem. You spent a whole 20 million gold coins, after listening to the first topic, you should know what 20 million gold coins mean to the Merlin family, it means a lot of equipment, it means a lot of warriors, it means a lot of people who are far away from the plane of fury. The plane legion can withstand the ferocious attack of the raging orcs..."

"Yes." Oye Merlin, who had been quarreling with Legon Merlin before, seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness before, and nodded with a smile, expressing his support for Legon Merlin's words...

"Hehe, look, Oye is not much older than you, but he is much more mature and sensible than you, Mafa Merlin, you should really think about it, the 20 million gold coins you spent in order to fight Hansen Charlotte. Is it worth it? To be honest, I don’t think that with your character, it’s really not enough to control the gilded rose, so I personally agree with the opinion of the Presbyterian Church, let the Presbyterian Church manage the gilded rose for a period of time, and wait until you are truly mature and sensible. , when I will really consider the interests of the Merlin family, I will return the gilded rose to your hands..."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

...

This time, it was much more lively than the first topic. Just after Legang Merlin's voice fell, 14 of the remaining 16 elders of the Merlin family raised their hands to express their approval.

The remaining two...

One is Rose Merlin, the other is Lyon Merlin...

Needless to say, Rose Merlin is now in the same camp as Lin Yun. As for Leon Merlin, it is because of fear...

In fact, after the second issue was raised, Leon Merlin's face became paler and paler...

Because Leon Merlin has heard it...

It turned out that this Mafa Merlin was the child of the family who was recalled from outside after repeated persuasion by the Hovland family owner some time ago...

Thinking of this, Leon Merlin really wants to scold her...

Patriarch, Patriarch, are you old and blind? It's not good to recall someone, why did you recall this bastard? You are going to cause trouble to the Merlin family...

And, it's not even the worst.

What really made Leon Merlin feel dark was that the first meeting of elders he had attended in a few months was actually about taking the gilded rose from this Mafa Merlin.

You **** are crazy!

To seize the gilded rose from his hand, do you think your life is too long or something? Do you want me to find some ropes for you to hang?

Damn, you are courting death...

From the beginning to the end, Leon Merlin kept shaking, and when Legon Merlin asked everyone to vote, Leon Merlin was even more frightened.
