Elder Tree didn't expect Starleaf to find Luciya first and invite him over.
Great!
Elder Tree had a lot of doubts, especially about the three people Nighttree No. 10 had provided. He urgently needed information about them from Lucia.
Even though Lucia could keep her mouth shut about the rules of the Starry Street District, just like how Lucia left the Starry Street District on her own accord.
One didn't have to speak to understand someone.
Elder Tree had plenty of ways to get information from Lucia.
If Lucia wanted the Starry Street District to exist in the Biron Tree Courtyard for a long time, he would definitely cooperate.
Elder Tree couldn't wait to "communicate" with Lucia. But before Elder Tree could speak, Xingye, who had brought Lucia here, glanced at Elder Tree and then glanced at Wayin, who was in the distance.
As an old partner, Elder Tree immediately understood even though Starleaf didn't say anything.
He bowed to Earl Black. "Earl Black, please excuse me.
Please forgive me for taking my leave. I will have Gaino and Shainna accompany you, my lord. "
Earl Black said, "You don't have to mind me."
Elder Tree quickly shook his head. No matter what, they couldn't leave Earl Black alone. This concerned the future of the Bilos Family.
"Gaynor, Shaina, come here." Elder Tree called Gaynor and Shaina over and gave them orders through the Spirit Bond.
Although Elder Tree didn't have much confidence in the "brainless" Gaynor, Shaina was a smart person. With her around, Elder Tree was very assured.
Elder Tree expressed his apologies to the Black Count once more. Then, he, Xingye, and Lucia disappeared into the shadows to discuss matters.
In the outside world, only Gaynor, Shaina, and Wayin were left.
Although Gaynor was a bit rash, he knew the weight of the Noah Family's patriarch. When facing the Black Earl, he didn't dare to say a single word.
He just stood to the side.
Looking at the dilapidated arena, he didn't say anything.
Shayna was much better than Gaynor, and she was able to answer the Dark Earl's questions with ease. However, the Dark Earl did not seem to be interested in the topic she was talking about. She said a long string of things, but the Dark Earl only replied with a simple "Oh." No matter how good Shaina was, she couldn't do anything to the Black Earl who was too lazy to talk.
Moreover, in this dark night filled with smoke and blood, she really didn't know what to say to make the situation less tense. Left with no choice, he could only talk about some unimportant things.
However, what Shaina didn't know was that the Black Earl's short answer wasn't because he had a problem with Shaina's topic. Purely because Wa Yin was also talking to him in his heart.
Compared to Shaina's irrelevant topic, the Black Earl would rather answer Wa Yin's questions.
Ever since returning to the Bilun Tree Courtyard, Wa Yin had more and more doubts in her heart.
He was curious as to why the Bilun Shuting had been attacked.
There were also all kinds of gossip about the Kibilos family.
The former …
Black Earl didn't answer him for the time being. Instead, he knew a little about the Biluos family.
The first question Wa Yin asked was about Gaynor.
Wa Yin couldn't understand what the relationship between Gaynor and Dreis was. They were clearly from the same family, but why were they acting like enemies and even picking on each other at this point in time?
Even if Wa Yin had the Black Earl's support, she wouldn't dare to ask this question so openly in front of Gaynor. Thus, she could only secretly ask in her heart.
"A struggle for power," the Black Earl said casually.
"Struggle for power? Struggle for what power? "Wa Yin didn't understand.
"The patriarch of the Biluos family." The Black Earl gave the answer directly.
Wa Yin was even more confused when she heard the answer. This answer was too melodramatic. Why did it sound like a struggle between commoners and nobles?
She had already advanced to become a Transcendent, so why was she still doing this?
Black Earl: "It's true that not all Magi care about the desire for power, but most Magi care about the desire for profit. As for the so-called 'power', power comes before courtesy. Only when you have power can you reap benefits. Thus, struggles for power are not rare in the Magi World. This is especially true for Magi families like this, where a hundred flowers blossom. "
At this point, the Black Earl paused, "Actually, from a certain point of view, I rather envy the Biluos family. At least they have people who are willing to fight for power … "
On the other hand, apart from him, the rest of the Noah family were all salted fish. Though the Black Earl knew that he had a part to play in this, the juniors had all lost their will to fight for power due to their fear of him. There was nothing he could do about it.
His organ clones had indeed hidden some backup plans, but this didn't mean that he had completely given up on these juniors.
As long as they could take that step forward, the Black Earl would naturally give them the greatest freedom, and even let them enter the ranks to inherit the position of patriarch.
However, none of the juniors currently had such ambitions.
It was precisely because the Black Earl understood this that he had hidden a backup plan in his organ clones. This backup plan could even cost the juniors their lives.
This was also intentional on the Black Earl's part.
Since they didn't want to revive the family, they could only continue to bear the pressure. The lives of the juniors became the fuel that ignited the Black Earl's advancement.
Of course, it sounded as if the Black Earl wanted to sacrifice the juniors for his own advancement. In reality, this wasn't the case. Moreover, the Black Earl hadn't done this many times.
Generally speaking, the Black Earl still loved his juniors, and hoped that they could blossom. Hence, there was almost no one who was truly ruthless enough to take the lives of the juniors. Most of the time, it was the juniors who played themselves to death.
The Black Earl naturally couldn't tell the juniors these words. He sincerely hoped that they would be able to pull themselves together.
Currently, the Black Earl couldn't see any of the juniors who were able to pull themselves together. However, the Black Earl wasn't annoyed. He still had a lot of time, and he could still wait …
Moreover, he'd obtained a lot of information on the Noah family's Hollow Ones from the Wise Ruler. Who knew, these clansmen and their descendants might be able to surprise him.
On the other side, Wayin naturally understood the Black Earl's hint. He actually wanted to advance a little, especially after seeing the current Dorcas. His desire to advance grew even stronger.
However, Wayin wasn't willing to let him fight for power.
Compared to power, wasn't his divination house better? Wasn't it better to follow Dorcas? If he could freeload off Dorcas and hug his idol's thigh, wouldn't that be better?
Returning to the Noah family to fight for power? Forget it.
Wayin purposely ignored the Black Earl's worries about the Noah family's prospects, and continued to ask about the Bilos family, "If it's to fight for the position of patriarch, then Gaynor and Dreis might be enemies. However, that patriarch 'Starleaf' doesn't seem to be very old. He wouldn't give up his position so early, would he? "
"He is indeed young," The Black Earl paused, and then said in a tone full of meaning, "However, he has higher aspirations."
Starleaf was indeed the patriarch of the Bilos family, and his strength was also the strongest in the Bilos family. He was at the peak of rank 2 Magi. However, he wasn't satisfied with this, and wanted to advance even further.
Starleaf longed to step into the peak of rank 3 Magi.
However, not everyone could set foot in the peak of rank, and this required a ticket.
The 'ticket' of rank 3 Magi was the condition for advancement.
There were two basic conditions: First, one's energy had to reach the peak of rank 2 Magi. Second, one had to set foot on the path of truth.
Starleaf had already fulfilled the first condition, but he still hadn't fulfilled the second one.
Starleaf had been pacing back and forth in front of the door of truth for more than three hundred years, but he still hadn't achieved anything.
According to the information obtained by the Black Earl, Starleaf had announced his resignation from the patriarch's position more than thirty years ago. He wanted to travel to a wider world and pursue the path of truth.
From that day onwards, the Bilos family had been fighting for power both openly and covertly.
As for why Starleaf had made this announcement thirty years ago, the Black Earl had his own guesses. Because at that time, the Starry Street had officially entered the Buren Tree Courtyard. It was very likely that Starleaf had made an exchange with the 'Preacher', which allowed the Didyas family to not encounter any resistance in the Buren Tree Courtyard.
What the Preacher had given Starleaf in exchange was naturally … a prophecy.
Perhaps Starleaf had found out about his opportunity to advance from the prophecy, which was why he had announced his resignation from the patriarch's position and resolutely decided to travel to the outer realms.
However, this was only a guess. The only thing that could be seen was that the Bilos family had indeed started to fall into chaos thirty years ago.
After thirty years of fighting for power, most of the competitors had already disappeared.
Most of the competitors had already disappeared, and the only ones who still had the strength to compete were the two deputy patriarchs. Hence, everyone was guessing that the patriarch would be born from one of the two vice-patriarchs.
Gaynor and Dreis were the two vice-patriarchs of the Bilos family.
It was very normal for there to be conflicts between them, and even hostility.
Hearing this, Wayin more or less understood the relationship between them, "I see …"
The Black Earl said, "Speaking of which, since you're interested in the Bilos family's power struggle, who do you think will become the patriarch of the Bilos family in the end?"
"I'm not interested in their power struggle. I'm just curious, curious …" Wayin muttered in a low voice.
"Then according to your curiosity, who do you think will become the patriarch?" The Black Earl continued to ask nonchalantly.
Wayin thought carefully for a moment and said, "I feel that Gaynor is too impulsive. Perhaps it will be Dreis?"
Although Wayin hated eccentric people like Dreis, how could the patriarch's position be handed over to a brute?
The Black Earl said, "Isn't Dreis impulsive? It's also impulsive to act against Gaynor in front of so many people. "
Wayin thought about it and agreed. In terms of impulsiveness, the two of them were about the same.
However, Gaynor and Dreis didn't seem suitable to be the patriarch.
Wayin couldn't think of an answer, so she simply asked the Black Earl directly, "Sir, who do you think it will be?"
The Black Earl said, "My opinion is that if the range is really limited to these two people, it will most likely be Gaynor. However, anything can change before it reaches the end. "
"Who knows, a new person might jump out at the last moment to compete for the patriarch's position?"
Wayin said, "If there are still changes at the last moment, this patriarch selection will be too hasty …"
"What I said about the patriarch's position being circled between the two vice-patriarchs is only an external piece of news. It might just be a publicity campaign by one of the competitors. Who knows what the core members of the Bilos Family are thinking? " The Black Earl said calmly, "Moreover, the ones who really decide on the patriarch's position are Elder Tree and the current patriarch, Xingye. Before they make a statement, everything is still unknown."
Wayin pursed her lips and muttered softly, "Then isn't it the same as not saying anything?"
The Black Earl laughed coldly and didn't reply.
Wayin coughed twice and began to inquire about other matters. Besides being interested in Gaynor and Dreis, she was also interested in Night Tree who had appeared earlier.
"Night Tree?" The Black Earl didn't hide anything and said directly, "Similar to an intelligence organization. Elder Yue is in charge of it."
From the way Night Tree had appeared and their conversation with Elder Tree, Wayin had actually guessed that they were in charge of intelligence. Such an intelligence organization wasn't uncommon among the various large Magus Families and Magus Organizations.
Even the Noah Family had their own intelligence team.
"Elder Yue? Speaking of which, among the Bilos Family members who came to the Garden of Labyrinth ruins today, only Elder Yue, the core member, didn't come, right? "
Wayin had heard about the structure of the Bilos Family from the Black Earl.
Tree, Sun and Moon were the three great elders of the Bilos Family. Among them, Elder Tree was the great elder and was a very special existence in the Bilos Family.
This was because all the Tree Elders had served as the patriarch of the Bilos Family in the past.
The identity of Elder Tree was considered a re-employment after abdication.
Because of this, Elder Tree's prestige and power were actually not lower than the patriarch's, and could even be higher.
As for Elder Sun, she was the second elder. Wayin didn't know her specific responsibilities and only heard that she was in charge of the traveling merchant organization. Today, Elder Sun was still at the Garden of Labyrinth and didn't come over even when the Bilos Tree Courtyard was attacked.
Elder Yue was the third elder. Wayin only knew that she was a female and knew nothing else. But now it could be confirmed that she was in charge of Night Tree, and Night Tree was an intelligence organization. Then, it was very likely that Elder Yue was in charge of diplomatic affairs?
However, this wasn't important. Now, Wayin suddenly mentioned Elder Yue because he thought of something.
"If Elder Yue stayed in the Bilos Tree Courtyard, she wouldn't turn a blind eye to the attack here, right? Moreover, listening to the conversation between Night Tree No. 9 and Elder Tree, I have a feeling that Elder Yue seemed to have deliberately pulled away a lot of the Bilos Family's high-end combat power. "Wayin murmured in a low voice," Could it be that Elder Yue is in cahoots with the attackers? Did she deliberately pull away the Bilos Family's combat power, which caused the Bilos Tree Courtyard to appear empty and powerless when faced with the attack? "
