Chapter 3665 Attitude
Hathaway's family did not use this wealth to bribe those with higher status, or do business, nor did they spend it wantonly.
On the contrary, they used the money in two ways: half of it was used to form an archaeological team, and the other half was used to strengthen the adventurers in the clan.
Hathaway's family, which has existed for countless years, is very clear that on the one hand, the family's status is earned by itself, and on the other hand, and most importantly, it relies on the trust of the Simmons family.
Rushing to use money to gain a higher status may seem like a behavior that can improve the family's status, but it will also send a signal to the Simmons family that people in their family are starting to have unrealistic ambitions and start to pursue things they shouldn't. They stretched out their hands wherever they reached.
As a result, the status of the Hathaway family in the Simmons family will be compromised, which is a major loss for the Hathaway family.
The reason why Hathaway's family did not choose to go into business was also a choice based on the characteristics of their family.
From a long time ago to now, the Hathaway family has never had any business talents, let alone wizards or geniuses.
If you choose to do business without a business acumen, the best result is no profit or loss, and most results will only be losses outweighing the gains.
Therefore, they chose to invest the money they earned in their old profession, which was archeology.
In doing so, on the one hand, it can prove to the Simmons family that their family is still working hard in the direction of the archaeological industry, that is, it proves that they still have high achievements in the field of archaeology, and at the same time, it can also express that they have a high regard for the Simmons family. Loyalty - you see, we haven't forgotten our roots.
As for cultivating adventurers, this is not a phenomenon unique to the Hathaway family, but is a behavior shared by all noble families.
Cultivating adventurers is not just about cultivating family members, but also cultivating adventurers who are loyal to the family.
This behavior is, on the one hand, to ensure that the family always has enough strength to withstand sudden changes, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of the family's children.
The daily behaviors of noble children are generally divided into three types. One is to stay at home, the other is to go out and have various activities, and the third is to fight monsters and upgrade.
This first type of aristocratic child naturally does not need anyone to protect him. After all, the family compound is patrolled by adventurers on the three inner and outer floors. Generally, nothing will happen.
The second type of aristocratic children are at risk of injury. After all, it is impossible for people to walk by the river without getting their shoes wet. Many aristocratic children are wandering around, and they may encounter people who are not easy to mess with. Naturally, this is inevitable. There is a fight, and at this time, the adventurers trained by the family need to appear. Whichever little master can be protected safely during the fight shows which family is stronger.
This is occasionally used as a competitive event.
The third type of aristocratic children must be protected by guards before they grow up. This is mainly to prevent the young seedlings in the family who are willing to make progress from dying early.
During this month, in addition to using money to strengthen the family, the Hathaway family also kept in touch with me many times.
During the conversation, I could tell that Hathaway was not opposed to keeping in touch with me, but she didn’t mean it either.
Most likely, she was forced by her family to keep in touch with me.
Based on the status of Hathaway's family in York, I can conclude that there is a high possibility that her family already knows part of my identity.
For example, I have an inexplicable, yet unclear, yet very close relationship with Master Dewey.
Not many people know the status of Master Dewey in Fort Vicky, but it is certain that his status in Fort Vicky must be very high, and may even be equal to the two monarchs.
Being friendly with me means establishing a relationship with the top management of Fort Vicky, which also means that her family will have one more way out - this is the nobility. Even if the monarch has great trust in them, they will do it anytime and anywhere. Pave the way for your family's future.
On this point, I quite agree with the behavior of the nobles. After all, accompanying the monarch is like accompanying a tiger. As long as the monarch still trusts the family, the development of the family will naturally go smoothly and there will be no problems. But once the monarch no longer trusts him, Or if this trust is compromised, the family's power will begin to decline. What's worse, it may decline or even plummet.
This is a result that no noble family wants to see.
This is probably why the Hathaway family sent Hathaway, who has crossed paths with me, to keep in touch with me.
I didn't mind the fact that Hathaway kept in touch with me, but the rest of the family, especially my fiancées, took issue with it.
After a short discussion, they believed that this was the conspiracy of Simmons Locke on the one hand, and the ambition of the Hathaway family on the other.
After raising these two points, the fiancées turned their attention to Bai Yunying's face and observed her expression. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Bai Yunying was not displeased with everyone's arrangement of Simmons Rock.
Apart from these things related to me, during this month, the war situation in Zefeng Continent has stabilized, and the armies of various countries are in a semi-conservative state.
The so-called semi-conservative state is to adopt a large-scale wait-and-see approach and small-scale fighting.
Doing so can not only slow down the loss of military power between countries, but also reduce the anger between countries to a certain extent.
There is a saying that goes like this: When you are outside, you will not accept your orders.
On the one hand, it refers to the details of the strategic guidelines for marching and fighting, which are not affected by the monarch. On the other hand, it refers to the frequency of battles between armies, which will be decided by the commanders at the front line, not the monarch who is firmly seated in the imperial capital. Decide.
If the relationship between the main leaders of the two armies is very bad and they are very angry with each other, it is not impossible that large-scale battles will often occur. If the relationship between the two commanders is not bad, but the war is forced to start due to the order of the monarch. , then it is very likely that the coaches of both sides have insufficient preparations for war and will only conduct small-scale battles and not start a large-scale war.
Of course, the above situation is not completely universal, especially in the period of melee and between small countries, this situation will not work.
The number of military forces and supplies between the two countries is not large. If they divide their forces and fight, it will not be a war, but a fight between villages. Not only will it be regarded as dereliction of duty, but it will also be ridiculed by other countries. .
However, this situation will not happen in the period of legendary heroes, because the five major countries are strong enough, have large military forces, and have a lot of room to play on the battlefield. If you want to fight on a large scale, you can fight on a large scale, and if you want to fight on a small scale, you can fight on a small scale. Small-scale battles can be fought, depending on the monarch's will and the commander's preference.
The current situation is that the armies of several major countries are tired of fighting and do not want to continue fighting. However, they cannot disobey their orders and have no choice but to engage in small-scale battles.
It can also be regarded as a disguised attitude of resistance to war.
