Invincible Chapter 169

"Ted, I have something very important and I want to talk to you." In the afternoon, the convoy set off again, and Fran, who got into Kane's carriage, said so solemnly.

"Is it a matter of inheritance? I really have some personal opinions on this."

Fran was going to talk about Charlotte with Kane, but he was startled when he heard what Kane said, and then said, "Please tell me."

Kane nodded, and said slowly: "Fran, you are an excellent person, honest, kind, decent, and hardworking. You are also a generous boss. I have noticed the reputation of the Gu workers in your textile factory, and the fact that you let me John, it's a trick to help employees who have real difficulties."

"Thank you for your praise." Fran was a little happy. If Kane's previous sentence was a little empty, the latter sentence made up for it. Fran was delighted that Kane noticed his way of helping struggling employees.

Kane said in a deep voice: "However, these, under certain circumstances, will also become your shortcomings."

"Ok?"

Seeing that Fran was successfully attracted and made a listening gesture, Kane said: "Take this incident as an example. I even suggest that you change your style. When you arrive at the villa, the first thing to do is not to attend the funeral, but to inherit quickly." The title, the family property can be postponed to count, but the title must be implemented. Become the master of Scarlet Mountain Villa, and then preside over all affairs."

Fran thought about it and understood what Kane meant:

Don't take the ceremony first, but take the power first.

In other words, inheriting power is the greatest gift.

A country cannot live without a king for a day. Although the Marquess of Scarborough cannot be compared with the real nobles who established the country in the old days, the reason is the same. To obtain this right is to issue orders in the name of a new generation of Marquis.

In doing so, it will be less troublesome.

No matter what dirty thoughts these relatives have, the power overwhelms them and does not give them a chance to attack. Those who are smart will know that the general trend is set, and they will no longer carry the risk of tearing their faces. The odds of winning are too low.

On the other hand, it would say more.

Fran nodded in agreement, and said, "Then, I will now invite the arbitrator of the Ministry of Magic to meet directly at the manor."

"Well, I think so."

Kane tapped the roof of the car with the handle of his cane, and Lincoln, who was driving, stopped the carriage. Fran wrote the letter in the carriage, sealed it with wax, and stamped it.

He opened the door and whistled, not long after, an eagle flew down.

In this era, there are not a few wizards who take eagles as pets. This kind of eagle is a mixed-blooded extraordinary creature, which is rare in later generations. The key is that the environment is harsh and it is not easy to survive.

The car drove off again, and Fran told Kane about Charlotte.

Kane didn't follow Fran's train of thought and said something wrong with Charlotte. That's unwise. With his role, it's easy to reveal the truth if he speaks deeply, but people will think he's telling tales if he speaks shallowly.

After all, from his point of view, Charlotte was nothing more than being a bit blatantly obsessed with Fran, and the guards he found were useless.

This is not a big problem. The former can be understood as the madness of love, and the latter can evade that I was also cheated.

What's more, human nature is changeable, and Fran has no experience in the relationship between men and women. Now he is suspicious, and he can't help but be fooled by Charlotte again.

So Kane said the question from another angle: "As far as I know, pure-blood families pay great attention to blood. This situation can be used by others to slander you, or it can be used by you."

Fran is not stupid, Kane said a little bit, and he understood immediately.

Being slandered by others, if he goes back and declares Charlotte Byron as his fiancée, he will be used immediately. The pure-blood wizard who inherited the Carret family wants to marry a Muggle woman, can you still do it? ? Is there a minimum sense of family continuation responsibility?

Conversely, he can also use this to tease others.

The eldest son, so what if you are the son of the old Marquis and the oldest? Are you pureblood? Your mother is considered lowly among Muggles,

maid! Are you worthy of fighting with me? First ask the pure-blood families in the wizarding world whether they agree or not.

Ryan's daughter, whose two uncles are very annoying. You want to fight with me because of Ryan's daughter? Even without considering that she is a girl, she has not yet awakened her bloodline, so she is qualified to fight with me? What if it was a squib?

Sister and brother-in-law, my sister is a Squib, married to a Muggle, what right do I have to compete with me? roll.

Aunt, if you are married, is your surname still Carret? You are arguing with me, do you want your son to merge the two companies before I die? Can you be more shameless?

Therefore, if he goes back this time and announces that Charlotte Byron is his fiancée, then there will be nothing unreasonable. His relatives may gather because they heard that he and Charlotte are hot. And talk about his inheritance qualifications.

Kane hit the nail on the head and made Fran break into a cold sweat.

He finally realized that this was not an inheritance in the general sense. It could even be said that compared to the secular status, the pure-blood wizard family was the big head.

The nobleness of the Carret family in the world is precisely because of their status as pure-blood wizards.

To put it in the simplest way: If he didn't have this identity, the Ministry of Magic could justly and strictly prohibit him from using magic in the secular field. Can he also use his magic in his factory to easily defeat those competitors in the textile field through a series of hacks?

When Kane saw Fran, he knew that he had thought of these practical problems.

This is actually the same as what he said to his wife and mother when he boldly broke into Baron Wellingborough's house before: Are you willing to pay the corresponding price for the power and benefits you are enjoying now?

To put it even harder, what is the Song of Killing and Grass talking about? Ruthless and betrayed self-esteem!

Kneeling and licking is embarrassing, but it's better than family ruin, right? What Wang Xietang's front swallows flew into the people's homes. The higher you go, the more you fail or die. Power struggles have always been cruel.

Fran is facing a similar problem now, it's not impossible to play True Love, as long as he is willing to pay the price.

As for the price, for example, falling from the privileged class, there are relevant systems that can deal with it immediately.

People from the Ministry of Magic can handle the relevant regulations, and the royal family or those in power in the secular world can also come to find trouble.

Why? The role of link connecting the supernatural ruling layer and the secular ruling layer is lost, so why should they still enjoy privileges? Look good?

There is no doubt that Kane's dose of mind poison has been quite deadly, although he only touched the point.

Fran, who is in love, is hard to persuade.

Kane will never underestimate the power of stubborn temper and true temperament, even when he is a wimp and blood splattered five steps.

But now, this point is the last lump of snow that caused the avalanche, and the rest of Fran can figure it out by himself.

Fran first thought of the disadvantages of losing the privilege.

I also thought of the choice of Jiangshan beauties.

It has to be said that, faced with this choice, there are only a handful of people who choose beauties instead of Jiangshan.

Kane even thought it was a simple question of IQ.

There are countless beauties to choose from.

There are only beauties, Li Mao said that he and Yang Yuhuan were very affectionate after marriage, but Yang Yuhuan was finally chosen by Tang Xuanzong, who had a great reputation, and he had to call her mother...

Fran figured it out, even thought it out too well, and he didn't want to go back and ride with Charlotte again.

"I suspect that I was given a love potion. What I did a while ago was very irrational!" Fran said in person.

Kane said in his heart: "No matter how clever the devil's temptation is, it only takes effect from the moment you nod your head."

It is common for women to be called sluts, but in fact, it is quite impressive for men to be sluts.

The more Fran thought about it, the more wrong it became. Seeing that he had entered the Scarborough area, he actually started thinking about how to send Charlotte home.

He couldn't think of a good way by himself, so he asked Kane.

"That's unrealistic. In my personal opinion, I'd better take over the position of power with all my strength first, and then explain it to Miss Byron. The Marquis Carret needs to sit in Scarlet Heights, and it will be difficult to return to the secular circle..."

This is purely looking for reasons. In this era, morality and etiquette have been raised to the highest level in British history. The fiancée's reputation is definitely discredited, and parents can't hold their heads up.

But Fran was in the stage of being cheap, so he felt that this reason was very sufficient.

"Yeah, the wizarding world is very different from the secular world, and it's hard for her to adapt. Besides, I don't want to, I didn't expect to inherit the title before! I'm ashamed, I will make it up to her, and I am willing to go to London to use forgetfulness for people one by one. Curse to remove negative influences..."

Kane listened a little absent-mindedly, coping with a few words from time to time. The progress of the matter was in line with his expectations, but to be honest, there was nothing to be happy about, it was just another witness to the selfishness of human nature.

He looked through the car window, looking at the vast tundra covered in cold wind and snow.

That is not a plain, but a swamp. In 1990, this area was a wetland park.

Kane feels that the human heart is like the scene here and at this moment. If you don't delve into it, you won't show its color.

He didn't want to laugh at Fran, and there was no guarantee that he would do better in Fran's place.

He sincerely believes that many times the reason why people look good is because they have not been set on the fire that is really used to test whether they are mean or not.

Therefore, wise men will always find ways to avoid the appearance of this kind of burning frame. After all, no matter who is on the frame, it is a disappointing thing.

The caravan turned off the road to Scarborough Fair into a lane.

Kane glanced at the cliff to the north of the town, where there was a city wall built along the cliff. He once thought that was Scarlet Mountain Villa, but it wasn't.

Fran explained that it was a coastal fortification in the old days. There was no castle, but there were forts.

Kane nodded, knowing that this small town is not only for seagoers who sing the original song of "Scarborough Fair", but sometimes pirates who plunder.

Heading north along the path, Kane had a sudden feeling and asked Lincoln to stop the car.

He got out of the car, stood on a small mountain ridge, and looked north.

With the sun slanting to the west, one can clearly see hundreds of meters away, there is a strange place in the snow-capped field, a crater of blood-red land.

Inward is a steep face that is almost a cliff, while outward is a gentle slope.

Kane Analysis:

The effect of the impact of the meteorite is similar to the effect of water droplets falling into the water captured by a high-speed camera. The outer ring is ripples, and the center is a bulge caused by the reaction force.

Ripples are craters, and the inner circle presents a steep cliff-like effect.

This will only happen if the force being released is suddenly drawn away, and the cliff in the soil layer is pushed high, but the back force is weak enough to cause any serious push.

He also found that the impact of this meteorite was too positive, it could be said to be vertical, so that the earth waves set off were forced in all directions, and eventually the heights of the craters were almost the same.

A meteorite falling vertically is also a point that violates common sense.

"How about it, isn't the masterpiece of nature amazing?" Fran said aside.

Kane laughed and said to himself, "Nature? This is a typical artificial trace! In the Vientiane Gate system, this is called God's punishment. It actually caused the gods to directly intervene in the real world. Something big happened here."

He also knows that such a strange terrain is not recorded in any classics or photos, which can only be achieved by means of strikes at the level of divine obliteration (such as killing the fourth person with a holy gold gun).

More importantly, this blow should have happened not long after, and it is even very likely that it is the real reason for the regional disappearance of the Carret family.

Why is it so easy to say?

Because only in this way, it meets two points:

First, Fran and many people in this era are aware and familiar with this place.

Second, there is no mention of it in Richard's letter to modern times, as impressive as it is.

All relevant information will be erased from the moment it is erased here.

But it seems wrong, because people have memories of the Carret family, and even know it well.

Does that mean that what was obliterated was actually something else, and the Carret family was just affected?

Kane thinks this is a possibility.

Even, it can be deduced like this: the first divine punishment did not destroy that thing. As a result, the current strange scene has been created. The Carret family chose to build their ancestral home in this strange scene.

The second time not long after, the divine strike wiped out that thing, and the Carret family was wiped out by the stimulated power similar to a sacrificial explosion.

Kane was meditating, and Dumbledore walked to his side, looking at the strange scene with a solemn face.

Fran was a little puzzled by his serious expression, and asked, "Miss Percival, you should know about the Crimson Land, right? After all, you have been here more than once."

"The terrain here is the most magical feature I have ever seen." Dumbledore replied ambiguously.

In fact, Dumbledore's greatest feeling now is that the operation has gone off the rails here, and the incident is clearly heading out of control. Even if he is willing to sacrifice, he may not be able to deal with it...
