"But don't you dare to take back what belongs to you?" Roland Hill interrupted Meru's words.
"But can you just watch your family fall apart in your generation?"
"Wait is nothing." Roland Hill put the teacup on the table.
"After taking back the rights and everything, your relatives and uncles may have a big fight and resentment, but they still have to rely on you, and there will still be times when they will sit together again. If they split up, their family property would have been If you are not in the right position, you will be even more afraid of your pursuit in the future, so you will have darker thoughts and ideas."
"Mei Lu, you shouldn't want to see the worst outcome."
"I......."
Mei Lu looked at the dreamy girl in a black dress in front of her. She was admonishing like an angel and bewitching like a devil, and she was speechless for a while.
Loren Hill didn't ask Meru to answer right away, she knew that the change in concepts and habits would take time to digest slowly.
Then she stood up, walked to the fireplace, took down the teapot that was roasting by the fire, and refilled Meru and her own cups with boiling tea.
Mei Lu sat quietly on the sofa, watching the hot tea slanted out from the pot, crossed an arc, and a burst of white mist rose, and then flowed into the white gold-rimmed porcelain cup, and the bottom of the cup sank. The tea leaves rolled in the hot water again, the light green tea leaves in the amber liquid, like a small boat undulating in the stormy waves.
Helis, a yellow-green two-color camellia, blooms in winter and spring, and the flowers are plentiful, dignified and elegant.
"Only camellia is durable, and it can only capture the spring breeze in the deep moon." - Juqiqi (Song O Zeng Jili) in eastern rhyme
"I see, Lacey-sama, can you give me a little time?"
Mei Lu raised her head, looked at Roland Hill, and showed a relieved smile. Under the light of the fire, the long chestnut-blond hair reflected a faint light.
Chapter 79 The Law of Change
When leaving the Hellis family, Meru told Roland Hill about the recent series of actions of the Tisifone family, and the possibility that they had reached a secret agreement with the Anemii family, while the Nissos family, although they did not It is definitely in favor of Tisifone, but because the previous generation is married to each other, be careful.
After negotiating an agreement with Meru, Roland Hill asked Ceres to take the child's biological mother, the wrong side lady from the Helis family, out of the house.
When Lorraine Hill saw this Miss Barya, or Mrs. Barya, she was no longer the girl who devoted all her life to love. Nearly ten years of house arrest made her face withered, indifferent and maroon. The long hair is also not shiny.
The face of this Madam Balya is somewhat similar to that of Madam Mela. No wonder the Helis family had that thought, Roland Hill thought, and then asked Serres to help this lady carry some daily necessities. Since then, she has also Won't be staying at this place again.
On the carriage, Roland Hill tried to talk to this lady, but unfortunately she had no desire to speak, Gu Jing's unwavering face, just answered simply yes or no, so Roland Hill no longer bothered her.
After returning to the Karites Chamber of Commerce, Ceres obeyed Loren Hill's instructions and brought Mrs. Mera and the child to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
When Mrs. Mela took the child by the hand and got off the carriage, Mrs. Barya looked at the child like this, motionless.
The little boy was a little frightened by this strange woman's stare, and ran behind Mrs. Mera, not daring to look at her.
Mrs. Mera vaguely knew something, and she seemed to be relieved. She sighed and slowly pulled the child out of her back.
"Dear, don't do this, it's very impolite." The little boy's hand was grabbed by Mrs. Mera, helping him overcome his fear of life, and walked out with him.
"Come, say hello, just call..." Mrs. Mera seemed to hesitate.
"Just call your mother." Roland Hill walked out from the side and said.
"Mom?" The boy was puzzled, looking at Mrs. Mera.
"Well, yes, Mommy." Mrs. Mera crouched down and touched the boy's head.
The little boy was still a little puzzled. He raised his head and looked at the strange woman in front of him. He had never seen this person before. Why did he call her like that? Why was she standing there crying?He doesn't understand.
Mrs. Barya stood there with tears in her eyes, then rushed over and hugged the child tightly.
"You... No, you shouldn't be called Dill, you should be called Iggy, that's the name your father gave you, he wants you to be free, healthy and happy like an eagle!"
"I am your mother, it is me, I gave birth to you, you are not a child no one wants, you are blessed by your parents to come into this world."
She spoke aloud, with choking and weeping in her voice, tears moistening her face and clothes.
He was hugged tightly by the shoulders, and the strength caused the child a little pain. He didn't understand why, but felt that the person holding him was very sad. He was a good boy, so he said: "Don't cry, cry too much. People will be hated, teachers often tell me that only strong children will be liked by everyone."
In the tender voice of a child, the biological mother became even more sad and distressed.
Roland Hill and Ceres stood aside, watching this scene silently, and she spoke for a long time.
"Cerez, then you can take this mother and son to the Youngberry Kingdom in the Southern Islands. Under the advocacy of the Young Moon Council, there are many academies there, and there are also many mages and scholars, so you can receive a good education there. "
"At the same time, I will also give you a sum of money and manpower to protect the mother and son. This is not only my promise to Angus, but also your atonement for the mistakes you have made in the past."
"Yes, Miss Lacey, Ceres understands." The butler's tone was old and grateful.
-----
After the visit of the Hellis family, the Tisifone family is the murderer and naturally there is no need to ask any more questions. The Nissos family is currently neutral, and their minds are not on the fight, so there is no need to stimulate them. After thinking for a while, Er did not go. They were already very close to Tisifone, and it was extremely difficult to change their position at this time.He just asked his subordinates to send the poison-stained sword over to inquire about the origin of the sword poison.
Three days later, Anemii's attendant came over with a small gift and told the Karites family that it was a poison that outsiders got from an unknown source, and it had nothing to do with Anemii. It was helpless to disturb Miss Lacey. Then left.
Lorraine Hill asked people to open the gift box, which contained a small ornament, three long-leaf-shaped hair accessories, with three gradient colors of red, yellow and green.After accepting it, she also knew that Anemii could no longer change his position, and they didn't even want to send family members to explain the reason seriously, so perfunctory.
Since the beginning of the year, the Verga Business Alliance met and exchanged agreements with the Rourna country, and the storm has gradually surged. The unfavorable news from the green side has greatly stimulated the nerves of the senior management of the two countries, and many people began to seek good solutions.
Some people began to look for ways to bribe the nobles of the Green Empire, hinder the proposals of the dragons of evil thoughts, and re-emphasize the profits and benefits of trade.
Some people began to contact other members of the Snowflake Union to renegotiate the joint defense.
There are also some people who believe that the reason why the Green Empire is strong is because their country is a centralized country, and the Xuehua alliance is too scattered and local autonomy is not conducive to integrating power, and it also has serious internal friction, so they hope that the seven countries can gradually merged into one country.
Under the guidance of this common idea, the supporters of this faction gradually became an organization named 'Frost Rose'.
Like roses, roses are plants of the Rosaceae family. The emblem of the Green Empire is made up of emerald roses and red roses, representing its origins in the Cang Yue Kingdom and the Emerald Forest.They intend to imitate this system, but they do not want to be ruled by green, so they take the cold blooming meaning of Xuehua, and the two together are 'frost roses'.
And because Verga and Rourna are the closest to the Green Empire and have a greater sense of crisis, there are more members of these two countries in the organization, and the Tisifone family is one of them.
Following the failure of the assassination of the Tisifone family, the delegation of the Ruerna country finally arrived in Hopeland, and the situation calmed down for a while.
In the evening, the head maid Chelsea pushed open the door in the study room of the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in the Karites house.
"Miss, the hotel where the mages of the Ruerna country live has been cleaned and arranged. After staying tonight, they will come to visit and discuss the project of the new warship probably tomorrow."
"Okay, I know."
Roland Hill watched the huge steel airships in the distance, slowly descending under the twilight of the setting sun, followed by the huge roar of the propeller turning.

Chapter 80 An Unpleasant Dinner Party
The slightly textured robe is designed to fit very well, and a small amount of metal accessories is not cumbersome. It has a simple style of past life and modernity.
The dressing style of these mages from Rourna is very different from that of Verga. It is difficult to imagine that they were people living in the same era. From the west wind to Verga or the traditional clothes of the Middle Ages, the nobles prefer silk and veil. Lace and other fabrics, while the corners of Luerna's mage robes are mostly wrapped with gold or silver edges, rather than some light and fluffy fabrics, giving people a sense of texture and pragmatism.
The leader of the delegation was an older old man. He was tall and thin, and the hair on his head was all white, but he still gave people a healthy feeling, and his eyes were very bright.
"Hello, Master Braunton. Welcome to you and all the members of the delegation. I'm Lacey, and I'm the current president of the Karites Chamber of Commerce."
Lorraine Hill brought several cadres from the Chamber of Commerce to greet him at the headquarters. There were 14 delegations from Rourna, and the remaining nearly [-] were apprentices.
Naturally, the apprentices arranged to stay directly. Those who came to the banquet were the core ones. Except for the leader, Master Bronton, the rest of the masters included middle-aged people and young people. Among them, the more eye-catching She is a 25-year-old female alchemist.
She has beautiful long black hair that reaches her waist, with a golden hair ring on her head, a blooming white flower on one side of the hair ring, and a blue crystal inlaid with metal in the pure white petals.Not only that, but the bracelet on her wrist is also a crystal ring with a metal edge. There are blue particles in the crystal that emit light and circulate in it.
Although other mages also have a lot of alchemy accessories, such as a flying alchemy hummingbird, a pocket watch inscribed with a star map, etc., but they are not as conspicuous and beautiful as her. The golden-edged white robe perfectly outlines the plump and attractive figure, and the white robe opens in the front. Fork, revealing the skirt underneath and the slightly sensual thighs.
The rectangular table is set with a variety of delicacies, the main meal has local red pincer crab, grilled cod, cheese cake, grilled meat, etc., fruits are Verga's oranges, figs, mangoes and apples, and the rest have some desserts pudding etc.It looks dazzling under the burning candlelight, and the restaurant is also filled with a warm color, which makes people not too restrained.
Seeing this sumptuous dinner, Master Braunton nodded with satisfaction and sat down.
The two sides first briefly introduced each other to know each other, and then slowly talked about some of the deeds of Angus, the previous owner of Karites.
Although Loren Hill has developed the Chamber of Commerce very well recently, after all, it has not been a long time. In the eyes of these mages who have come from afar, she is just a lucky vase, but she is lucky to have such a powerful father as Angus. .
The rapid rise of Angus in the past ten years is quite famous between the two countries, but no one has heard of his daughter, and the mages boast rich knowledge and wisdom. The group of businessmen actually look down on them a little, and this look down comes from the superiority in terms of technology, wisdom, and morality.If it wasn't for Roland Hill's truly peerless appearance and unusual identity, they wouldn't even bother to maintain basic respect.
Even though most of the businessmen are really unbearable, this vague sense of superiority still makes Roland Hill feel a little uncomfortable, especially when they talk to each other, and sometimes deliberately use a few professional words, when she can't hear anything Understand the same vase.
It's enough to show off her knowledge, and sometimes she deliberately attracts her attention, as if she thinks she is very good and can easily fascinate this businessman.
Gradually, Roland Hill's words became less and less, just to maintain the level of politeness.
"Does Miss Lacey know? Your father and I also met each other. A few years ago, he came to Ruerna to explore the cooperation of steel warships. Unfortunately, there was a ban on Ruerna at that time, and some technologies could not be spread at will. I just gave up. Now the situation has changed, and related cooperation is no longer banned, but it is a pity that the old friend has passed away, which is very regrettable. "
Master Braunton looked regretful and mentioned some cooperation projects in recent years, but his expression seemed to say, you should be grateful for this opportunity, and your attitude is as high as a charity, as if the technology of Luerna is gone. , Verga is nothing ordinary.
Well, this time, Roland Hill didn't want to laugh anymore. He simply snorted, and silently lowered his head to eat, and let the cadres of the chamber of commerce beside him agree. The mages were not surprised. It's normal not to be a little reserved and shy.It was the young female mage who looked at Loren Hill with interest and said nothing.
A seemingly harmonious dinner was over, and Roland Hill was not interested in bringing this group of people to any entertainment, and then let the carriage take them back to their place of residence according to the procedure.
After dinner, Roland Hill walked around the small yard for several times before venting her depression. She felt that this cooperation was bad because she didn't like this group of people.
Isn't it a steel airship? It's nothing unusual. The Mercury Dynasty has it. They have the ability to restore the magical battleship of the Oz era. That kind of aerospace aircraft carrier is not the dumb airship that hangs the current airship, and the airship flies again. Slow, he's so big, he's a living target, what's there to be proud of.
The girl sitting at the desk has begun to think about how to develop without cooperating with Luerna. She is not the kind of person who likes to wrong herself.Any cooperation, including marriage, will have good results only if both parties have equal status, mutual respect and help.One of them won't last long as a dog, and there will always be a day when their mentality will collapse.
In this way, she sat at the desk and began to consult the early aircraft development and design drawings with the help of the data in the system, as well as the drawings of the sailing battleships in the early years, as well as the design concepts and drawings of the dreadnoughts that brought changes.
Relying on others is ultimately unreliable, and what you have is the best.
With such thoughts in mind, she kept analyzing and drawing at the desk, thinking about integrating the excellent design concepts of the previous life into this world, so that she didn't fall asleep until very late.
------
The next day, the two sides formally discussed in the conference hall. This time, many shipyard craftsmen, stewards and designers from the Carites Chamber of Commerce also participated.
In the bright morning light, under the drawing of the huge lacquer night flower, the two sides are sitting on both sides, only the core characters of the two sides are sitting together on the round table in the middle.
The consultation meeting on the cooperative manufacturing project of the Green Empire's combat steel naval warships has officially started.
Chapter 81 Negotiation Breakdown
Just as Roland Hill was discussing with the mages of Rourna, a round of questioning began in the study of Tisifone's house.
"Wick, is that your order?"
Adeley looked at his adopted brother, frowning slightly. The assassination incident a few days ago quickly spread throughout the city. He thought about it, only the Tisifone family, which was his adopted brother. Can do it.
