Southern foothills of Diamond Mountains

As the end of the year approaches, as usual, meetings of elders within the Amethyst Family are held frequently. Compared with the previous internal conflicts of interest, under today's strong external pressure, the elders and senior officials in charge of all walks of life in the archipelago have unprecedented unity. Discuss strategies to maintain the future of the family.

"Gramp, the Crystal Chamber of Commerce you manage has performed well recently, which has greatly shocked those foreign chambers of commerce, and the trade market has gradually returned to normal order."

During the meeting, the head of the family, Richard, spoke in praise.

You must know that the control of the Amethyst Islands' import and export markets has fallen into the hands of foreign chambers of commerce since the sea blockade. The economic system was once on the verge of collapse. Richard was eager to use force to solve the problem.

But at this time, the Crystal Chamber of Commerce moved back to the city for the family in the most impossible way in the market competition, changing from an absolute disadvantage to a relative disadvantage.

As soon as Richard opened his mouth, several other elders also expressed their recognition of Grump's contribution to the family.

"Hehe~"

Grump smiled, and after giving the standard polite politeness, he then raised the issue of Sunless Island.

"Master, the majority of the credit for the Crystal Chamber of Commerce to achieve such achievements must be attributed to Baron Garland who is based on Sunless Island. He handed over all the resources harvested from the development of the island to the Chamber of Commerce for unified sales.

In addition, Baron Jialan is very good at managing the territory. The originally inhospitable Sunless Island was prospered by his management. In just two or three years, the permanent residents of the territory almost exceeded [-]. "

"Oh?"

Richard's eyes moved. He really didn't expect that the once-neglected family descendant could make such a difference.

"I remember that boy was exiled back then, right?"

When it came to sensitive issues, Grump didn't show any panic at all, because he had already dealt with all the details that were not conducive to Jialan.

"Well... Master, there is actually another hidden story in this matter, but it involves Raguire, who was originally on Kumu Island..."

Raguay has already been marginalized due to his lack of ability. At this time, he is the most suitable candidate to take the blame.

As Grump expected, Richard waved his hand for him to continue.

"That's it..."

"Boy Jialan and my daughter Tinis have been close since childhood. It would not be an exaggeration to say they are childhood sweethearts..."

Through some explanations, Grump perfectly attributed the crime of raping the clan girl on Jialan's head to Raguire's personal miscarriage of justice, which almost caused the family to lose a rare talent.

Of course, he might not be very convincing if he said this alone, but after several elders whom Grump had previously won over confirmed that what he said was true, all the elders at the meeting, including the head of the Richard family, couldn't help but nod in acquiescence, which meant that this matter was The verdict was overturned.

Since the crime was not charged, there was no reason to deprive Jialan of his baron status. The plan that had been prepared for half a year was considered a great success.

Immediately afterwards, he revealed the news that his daughters, Tinis and Jialan, were engaged and were preparing to officially get married next year.

As soon as this statement came out, the Grump family was completely tied to the same boat as Sunless Island.

Although things changed a bit suddenly, the cause and effect were reasonable. Even if a few elders were suspicious, they could not cast any doubts and could only join in congratulations with all the elders.

As for Richard, as long as the Crystal Chamber of Commerce can continue to work hard at this juncture to save the Amethyst Islands market that is out of control and benefit the family, he doesn't care if there is anything fishy about the marriage of the family's descendants.

At the end of the meeting, the Crystal Chamber of Commerce received the family's resource tilt, gave Grump greater authority, and even deployed a small group of crystal guards trained by the family for Grump to dispatch.

It's not much, but it's a signal.

……

……

The coldest month of December has passed, and here comes the annual New Year’s Day of Prayer.

Sunless Island, Aurora Town.

Every house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and all residents are immersed in the joyful festive atmosphere.In Aurora Castle, at the request of Master Jialan, a large-scale luncheon is being held. The attendees include all followers and all middle and high-level officials of the city hall.

This was the first castle banquet attended by middle-level officials.

There were nearly a hundred people in total, and the halls and courtyards were full of people fighting.

There are people in small groups, gathering for drinks and communication;
There are people walking around and chatting enthusiastically;
There are those who stand alone and work quietly;
Master Jialan, who was usually aloof and rarely seen, put down his arrogance and showed up at the banquet. He talked cordially with many officials, adding a bit of approachability to the lord's image.

As the banquet came to an end, Jialan raised his glass and walked to the balcony. Below the stage was the front yard, and he could be seen as long as he raised his head.

"Everyone."

There was a hint of majesty in the gentle voice, and the venue immediately fell silent, and everyone was ready to listen.

"Unknowingly, Sunless Island has been developing for three years. Looking back, it seems like yesterday."

"In the past three years, we have experienced a lot. The territory has changed rapidly, including commercial areas, residential areas, new villages, ports..."

"But I know that this is far from the end of Sunless Island! Nor is it our end!"

"In the future, there will be greater challenges facing us, everyone? Are you ready?"

After finishing her words, Jialan raised her wine glass and glanced at the crowd, making a loud splash.

"Be prepared, people! Just drink this drink with me!"

This last drink also means that the banquet has come to a successful end.

In the evening, there will be performances in the activity square, which is a carnival for all residents, but Jialan will not join in the fun, he prefers silence.

In the living room, little Lanna was playing with the red spider egg, looking very interested.

"Why are you here alone? Where are they?"

After finishing her meditation practice, Jialan walked downstairs and saw the girl on the sofa and asked curiously.

Little Lanna wrinkled her cute nose.

"They went shopping, but I found it boring and didn't want to go."

Jia Lan came and sat down next to Xiao Lanna. After several times of strengthening her mental power, she was keenly aware of the difference in the fluctuations of magic power emitted by her body.

"Upgrade?"

"Hehe, I was discovered by you, my lord. A few days ago, the pharmacy picked magic plants and refined a large amount of magic potion. After drinking it, I improved, but they are also fast."

Rolanna is indeed the strongest reincarnation. Because there is no bottleneck, she is the first to break through to level seven.

"Have you awakened any new spells?"

"Yes! Three third rings! Two second rings!"

Xiao Lanna immediately introduced.

The reincarnated person will gradually awaken the abilities of the previous life as the level increases. As a frost warlock, the ability that Xiao Lanna masters the most is ice magic.

This upgrade adds enhanced ice wall and enhanced ice gun at the second level, which are advanced versions of the first level; as well as enhanced ice armor, enhanced frost descent and offensive ice blade at the third level.

The improvement is quite comprehensive.

The new magic that little Lanna acquired will be learned by Jia Lan, so Jia Lan is also very happy.
