Horn's cheerful laughter rang out in the study. He shook his head and said, "What's so hard to guess? When I was your age, I formed a small alliance with Kate, Jennifer, and the others. We advanced and retreated together and finally achieved what we have now." Unfortunately, as time passed and everyone's identities changed, we did complete the goals we set back then, but we lost that sincerity. Right now, the only person who can confide in me is Old Kate. As for the others … "
Horn's expression darkened and he sighed, "It's fine if you don't mention it. In short, cherish your current friendship and work hard to cultivate it. It will be an important fulcrum that will support you towards your respective goals. "
Allen nodded and thought of Hyderick's son. "Grandpa, I saw Arthur last night," he said.
Horn repeated the name "Arthur" and said, "This son of Fourth Brother is very shrewd. He is quite similar to Fourth Brother in this regard. What do you think of him? "
"I always felt that it was difficult to get along with him." Allen said truthfully.
'"It's normal for you to feel that way. After all, Kodorf's matter happened first, and Arthur's nature is so difficult to communicate with. In your generation, Regis is also a difficult little fellow to get along with. However, unlike Arthur, Regis is covered in thorns. As long as you split open his thorns, you will find that he is actually a very simple, very pure little fellow. "Horn smiled.
Allen agreed with his grandfather's view.
"Let me ask you, if you take over my position one day, what will you do with your uncles and their people?" Horn suddenly said.
Allen thought for a moment and said, "As long as they don't do anything to harm the family or me, I won't touch them, and I'll put them in an important position. It's all because they are important bloodlines of the family. "
"It's good that you think so." Horn nodded and said, "Do you know why Grandpa chose a successor in your generation? That's because all four of my children have obvious flaws. The eldest brother is good at marching and fighting, but his temper and temperament are too rough. Don't even think about letting him manage the family. But there is no doubt that he is very loyal to me and the family. "
"Second Brother's knowledge is the highest among the four of us, and he is a great help to me when it comes to managing money. However, he had a congenital defect in his body and was unable to ignite the fire seed. He was just an ordinary person. Just because of this, he had no chance of becoming the Patriarch. As for Number Three, his aptitude wasn't bad. With enough time, he should be able to touch the threshold of peak combat strength. But his temperament is too extreme and he is not a choice for a superior. "Horn paused for a moment and said," As for Fourth Brother, he is involved in many things. Politics, literature, art, and many other fields were involved. As for Origin Energy, he wasn't as talented as the third brother and was on par with the eldest brother. However, Fourth Brother had a fatal flaw. He was too smart and always tried to outwit everything. However, he didn't know that as the leader of a clan, intelligence was important, but sometimes, it was necessary to have the courage to face adversity. That's why Fourth Brother can be an advisor, but he's far from qualified to be a clan leader. "
Allen remembered them one by one. Today, Horn had specially analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the four uncles for him. There must be a deeper meaning behind it.
'"So you see, I can only choose my successor from your generation. And until now, Allen, your performance has been good, which makes Grandpa very pleased. But there is one thing you must remember. If you have the chance to take over the position of Patriarch from Grandpa in the future, you must understand the principle of knowing how to make good use of people. There is no pure black and white in this world, more gray. You have to set a bottom line for yourself. As long as you don't cross the bottom line, you can use it according to your talent. You have to know that blindly cutting off dissidents is the narrowest way. "
"I understand, Grandpa."
Horn nodded, "Alright, you can go down now. Remember to perform well in Marshal Greed's final assessment. When you pass the assessment, Grandpa will submit an application to the Council of Elders to let you officially enter the heir list. "
Allen returned to his residence in the wing tower.
In the room, the furniture in the living room was basically moved to the side. In the middle was a workbench with various materials and processing tools on it. Those were necessary items for Allen to make the Magic Cube sequence. Below the workbench were two unopened boxes. They were some sequence materials that Allen had purchased through the family warehouse, including four basic templates.
Allen walked back to his bedroom and took out two semi-finished pivot energy conduction arrays from the safe in the corner. This was what he had prepared for Windsor Bellow's final assessment. In the next few days, he planned to stay in the castle. Now that the materials had arrived, it was time to create a complete Magic Cube sequence and insert them into the two magic energy weapons that he had bought earlier.
For the next three days, Allen hardly left the house. From time to time, the sound of processing equipment could be heard from his room. Finally, on the night of the third day, Allen completed the two low-level sequences. After checking that there were no mistakes, he inserted a sniper rifle and a submachine gun respectively. Since the Magic Cube sequence was personally made by Allen, he gave each of the two magical weapons a name, Heavy Hunter and Gale Archer.
The Heavy Hunter was a sniper/rifle, and the Magic Energy Heavy Sniper allowed its effective shooting range to reach 220 meters. With the assistance of the intelligent sight and the AI locking system, the error of the Origin Energy Sniper Bullet was controlled to three decimal places. After embedding the sequence created by Allen, the Heavy Hunter could activate the ability of the Heavy Warhead. This ability could further increase the quality of the Origin Energy Bomb, increasing its overall power by about 25%.
The Gale Archer was a charge/charge/gun, and a single charge could provide 60 standard Origin Energy bullets. The sequence Allen loaded onto it would provide an auxiliary ability. Magazine expansion was a common sequence used in light magical firearms. It could reduce Origin Energy consumption and increase the number of bullets. Usually, this ability could provide the holder with 30% ammunition expansion. Allen, on the other hand, increased this amount to 45%. Apart from the fact that the quality of Allen's own sequence was much higher than that of the products produced by the assembly line, it also involved some sense of profit in commercial operations.
After all, as long as a little of the power of the sequence was reduced, a large amount of materials could be saved. The difference in profits was enough to make black-hearted arms dealers smile from ear to ear.
Of course, Allen's own sequence did not have this problem. Increasing the amount of ammunition to 87 indirectly increased the power of the attack by 20%, which could be considered a considerable help. These two Magic Weapons were prepared for the vice captain of the team at that time. As a result, the equipment configuration of the team was finally completed.
The rest was Allen's responsibility. When he entered the Holy Plant Army, Allen was not only the commander of the squad, but he also had to lead the way. Equipment and strength were indispensable to go into battle to kill the enemy. In terms of equipment, Allen had the Silent Guardian for defense, while the Fangs and the Devil's Praise were his weapons. It could be said that the equipment was completely sufficient, especially the Origin Tool that the Abyss Devil praised. Allen had already seen the power of the Blood Blade Burial when it activated its awakening form to save Adele that day. It could be said that as long as the difference in level wasn't too great, the Blood Blade Burial was definitely a bloody killing move. The leader of Saint Disarmament was no more than level 14 or 15. Once Allen was given the chance to assassinate him, the Blood Blade Burial alone would be enough to take his life.
Apart from equipment, the rest was strength. The level of Origin Energy could be said to be Allen's obvious shortcoming. At least at this stage, Allen did not have a way to condense Origin Energy quickly. He could only take it step by step.
On the morning of Christmas, two weeks before the sky was covered in snow, a small magical starship entered the Ares Military Port. The warship was painted with the symbol of a red wild wolf. It was the military emblem of the Red Wolf Intelligence Service, which was part of the Sirius Legion and was responsible for intelligence work. The Red Wolves had a branch stationed in Babylon, which they claimed was established to assist and perfect the Federation's intelligence network. But in reality, everyone knew that it was an important tool for Marshal Greed to make a lot of money in Babylon.
Therefore, it was not surprising that the Red Wolf's special airship appeared in Ares Military Port.
After the starship landed, a black flying car quickly picked up the important people on board. At that time, there were quite a few people at the harbor who saw the flying car, but no one knew that Windsor Bellow was sitting in the flying car. Beside her was the handsome adjutant, Mirren. This time, Marshal Greed came quietly, without the ostentation of the last time. The number of people who knew of her return could be counted on ten fingers in Babylon.
After months of separation, Windsor Bellow, who was in the flying car, carried a trace of laziness. However, as he looked around, a fine light flashed through his purple eyes from time to time. A killing intent that was like ice fragments would sweep through the carriage of the flying car, as if the ice and snow outside were blowing into it, causing the people in the carriage to feel cold.
Mirren could only cough dryly, "Marshal …"
"Got it." Windsor Bellow said helplessly, "I just raided the Blade Demon's lair. The murderous aura on my body is a little heavy. I'll just take it."
She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths before Windsor Bellow exhaled. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was much gentler, and the murderous aura that made one's back turn cold had indeed been restrained a lot.
The flying car sent Windsor Bellow to the Goliath Building, and the female marshal got out of the car. In the car, Adjutant Mirren whispered, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Rest for a few days when you get back to Babylon. Don't say that I don't know how to sympathize with my subordinates." Windsor Bellow pulled the white hat, left behind a moving smile, and turned to enter the building.
Mirren shook her head and said in a voice that she could only hear, "Letting me work by your side is the greatest gift to me, my Queen."
Of course, Windsor Bellow couldn't hear her adjutant's words. Returning to the apartment on the top floor, she kicked her military boots rudely as soon as she entered the door. Windsor Bellow shouted, "Dear Nono, your sister is back. Get out of here. By the way, tell me what interesting things have happened in the months I've been away. "
At the end of his words, the sound of hurried footsteps and a young girl's cry of alarm sounded from the living room behind the entrance.
The little maid, Nono, fell in a hurry again, causing Windsor Bellow to hold her forehead and shake her head.
