I really don't want to cross

Chapter 391 Patriarch Succession Ceremony
"what happened?"

Nayuki Subaru quietly stepped back and came to Wood, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't we here to pick up things? What the hell is this certifier? What exactly are we going to certify?"

Wood shook his head slightly, and then walked a few steps proudly: "Master Katern, regarding the ceremony tomorrow morning, I think you already have a favorite candidate? Master Subaru is busy with things, so we can't stay here any longer. "

"..." Natsuki Subaru.

I'm so busy, sister, can you be more straightforward?
Katern first glanced at the kid following him in surprise, and then looked at Subaru Natsuki behind him, and after finding that he didn't respond, doubts flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Wood curled his lips.

It seems that this should be the event used by Roswaal to test whether Subaru has the ability to 'modify the world'.

"In terms of candidates..."

Katern glanced at the four middle-aged people behind him, and smiled slightly: "This is indeed already there, and I think Master Natsuki Subaru should also know."

Wood nodded, and came behind Nayue Subaru and whispered: "It's confirmed, this testimony should be to witness the transfer of the owner of the Merod family."

"Patriarch transfer?"

Nayue Subaru was stunned, and just about to ask a question, he was interrupted by Wood: "After the banquet, I'm explaining to you; if you don't want to be killed as a gangster pretending to be the envoy of the Mezath family, then I will say You must remember."

"Fucked... um..." Natsuki Subaru's face changed, and he wanted to exclaim, but Wood covered his mouth.

"What's wrong? Natsuki Subaru-sama?"

"it's okay no problem!"

Wood hurriedly patted Nayuki Subaru on the back, causing Nayuki Subaru's eyes to stare. For an ordinary person like him, even if Wood didn't use much strength, Nayuki Subaru felt something coming from his back. A burning pain.

"Our Master Subaru is not in good health, and he is a little uncomfortable running around, it's nothing serious."

"That's it!"

Katern nodded: "Tomorrow, I will find the most comfortable dragon car to send Master Natsuki Subaru back."

"If you don't want to die, don't talk nonsense. I don't want to waste time here."

The corner of Nayue Subaru's mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded at Wood's advice.

"When the banquet starts, if there is no accident, the man named Katern should invite you to talk alone; judging from Katern's reaction just now, the candidate for the next Patriarch should have been selected. He knows this person, Luo Zivall knows it too."

"how do you know?"

"...don't interrupt!"

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched slightly: "In short, when he invites you to talk alone, he should ask if Mr. Roswaal has any opinions on the candidate for the next Patriarch, that is, whether he wants to change it. When you reply to him, I will Just follow Lord Roswaal's order to witness, don't say anything else, anyway, this old man probably won't survive tonight."

"..."

Natsuki Subaru nodded upon hearing that.

While the two were whispering, they had already followed the crowd to the auditorium, where various dishes had already been placed.

The host is seated and the banquet begins.

Subaru Natsuki sat at the main table with Katern and the four middle-aged people, while the teenagers and girls who were about the same age as Subaru Natsuki sat at the other table.

Wood didn't take his seat, but stood straight behind Subaru Natsuki.

"Master Natsuki Subaru, let me introduce you."

Katern pointed to several middle-aged people and introduced them to Natsuki Subaru. As Wood had guessed, these four middle-aged people were Katern's four sons, and they were also the four protagonists in the succession ceremony of tomorrow's Patriarch. .

The eldest son is a middle-aged man with a bald head and a very gloomy face.

"This is my eldest son, Vielsan Milode."

"Hello."

Natsuki Subaru got up and stretched out his hand, but...

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Nayue Subaru's hand was directly patted aside, and the middle-aged man named Versan took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his hands, and looked at Nayue Subaru with disdain: "Take your Dirty hands away, a lowly servant."

The corner of Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched slightly, so...what's the matter with this inexplicable hostility?
"Wilson!!"

Katern scolded Wiersan, and then said apologetically, "Sir Natsuki Subaru, I'm sorry."

"it's okay no problem."

Caiyue Subaru waved his hand first, then directly reached out to pick up the seasoning in front of Weiersan, then paused, and said in surprise: "Huh? You didn't think I was going to shake hands with you just now, did you? Hey, then I'm really sorry, an 'ordinary member' of the branch family is not qualified to hold the hand of the Mezath family servant."

"Fortunately, it was me who came here. If my twin maids came here, your behavior is blatantly taking advantage."

what are you...

The corner of Wood's mouth twitched. It is understandable that the young man is very angry, but you have to distinguish the occasion.

Now he suddenly regrets agreeing to this errand, this guy is simply taking the trouble to himself.

"you……"

Versan's gloomy face burst into anger, and there was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes staring at Nayue Subaru, but he was restrained immediately, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Hmph, that's ridiculous!"

After finishing his words, Weiersan waved his hand, turned around and left the hall directly.

Seeing this, the faces of the three middle-aged people around him were all thoughtful.

Because in Nayue Subaru's thoughtless ridicule just now, a meaning was clearly revealed, that is, Versan is not among the candidates for the next Patriarch, or... this young man who looks ordinary, With Roswaal's permission, he can choose the heir of the family at will.

Katern, who was in the first place, frowned slightly, and then laughed loudly: "Sir Natsuki Subaru, please forgive me, Weiersan has had some troubles at home recently, so he is not in a good mood." Then, he pointed to the left hand The middle-aged man with long hair and a gentle and elegant smile on his face.

However, before he could speak, the elegant middle-aged man stood up by himself, stretched out his hand to Nayue Subaru, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know where the etiquette is to shake hands, the host and the guest are welcome. My humble servant is the second son of the Milode family, Bernard Milode."

"Hello, Lord Bernard."

Natsuki Subaru reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man.

"I'm the third son of the Midlo family, Pat Milood." On Bernard's left was a middle-aged man in a white robe with an indifferent expression. He shook hands with Natsuki Subaru and then He sat down, completely ignoring Natsuki Subaru's intention.

"My next son is the fourth son, Wei Hailuo Mirod. I will ask Mr. Natsuki Subaru to give me more advice in the future."

After seeing the self-introductions of several people, Katern said with a smile: "I also have a daughter, her name is Della, but she hasn't come back yet."

After some introductions, Natsuki Subaru, who is naturally familiar, quickly chatted with several people.

However, not long after, as Wood expected, he was invited by Katern alone to the wine table in the inner room. Through the door, he could vaguely see that a small table had been set up inside. Obviously, Katern had Get ready to have a private talk with Natsuki Subaru.
