I'm also trying to survive today [Western Fantasy]

Chapter 156 Identity Dispute

Sitting at the top is an old man, wearing a plain gray robe, with gray hair and a healthy spirit.

The unsmiling face gives people a lot of pressure, and just sitting there naturally reveals the majesty of a superior.

This is a person in power who is used to giving orders—Julian saw the essence of this old man at a glance.

However, to his surprise, the appearance of this old man did not calm down the joking people. The long table was as noisy as before, and in this way, the serious old man seemed out of place.

Julian and Owen exchanged a vague look. It stands to reason that the person who can sit at the top in this environment must be the patriarch of this family, but the attitude of these family members here is too contemptuous of this patriarch. ?

The patriarch did not do well, and the family members could initiate a vote to remove him from the position of patriarch. However, these people acquiesced in his position as patriarch, but showed no respect for him. What is going on?

Julian glanced at the little fat man, and the little fat man shook his head to indicate that he didn't know what was going on.

ding ding ding-

The old man at the top knocked on the wine glass again, and the crisp sound echoed in the restaurant. After a long time, everyone gradually calmed down, looking at the old man expressionlessly.

The old man ignored their extremely disrespectful performance, but instead looked eagerly in Julian's direction.

Julian's scalp was numb from the eager look in the old man's eyes, and he intuitively felt that the old man might bring him a lot of trouble.

Facts proved that he guessed correctly, the old man announced that this time the family meeting had added three new members, and these three members would join the patriarchal election this time.

Julian:? ? ?

No...you don't ask for the opinions of the participants when you take part in the election?

Originally, he thought that other people would show dissatisfaction with this, but he didn't expect that they were all very calm, as if they had expected such a result early on.

After the old man announced the matter, he informed everyone that they could dine, as if some kind of switch had been turned on, and everyone resumed the excitement before, chatting and joking with each other, pretending that the relationship between their families was very harmonious.

Julian always felt that when they were chatting, their eyes swept over him from time to time, and the malicious eyes were not much worse than those of the servants before, making people particularly uncomfortable.

"I said...you really dare to eat it?" Turning his head inadvertently, he saw that the little fat man had already wrapped his napkin, picked up the knife and fork, and was about to strike at the steak on the plate. Julian was like a black line all over his head.

"Ah? No... can't you eat it?" The little fat man's expression was very pitiful, and tears were about to fall again.

"Where is this place on the boat? Do you dare to eat the food provided here?" Julian looked at him in surprise. To be honest, he still has the appetite to eat in this kind of place. He admitted that this little fat man has a big heart.

"But...but I'm so hungry..." The little fat man swallowed hard, and reluctantly put the knife and fork back on the table.

The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, and he took out a bottle of bigu potion from the empty package... Well, he got this strange name, and he also researched this potion.The materials used in it are the leftovers of some herbal medicines. The only effect of the developed medicine is to fill people's stomachs, and one bottle can at least guarantee the energy needed for three days of action. Very similar, so Julian came up with such a name.

Since the potion was for his own use only, Julian did not mark the bottle.

The little fat man took such a bottle of potion that was clearly a Sanwu product, without any doubt, he drank it in one gulp.

Julian glanced at him: "You drink it without asking what it is?"

The little fat man blinked his beady eyes, wondering: "Why do you ask? If you want to kill me, just ignore me, why bother with a bottle of poison?"

It can be said that it is very thoughtful...

Julian has to admit that although the little fat man is a little small and useless, his IQ is still online. If you get along with such a person, he may not be able to help you, but he will definitely not drag you down. leg.

After drinking the potion, the little fat man was quite surprised by the feeling of fullness in his stomach. If the environment was not suitable, he really wanted to place a long-term order with Julian. This thing is definitely the favorite of a fat house like him. , Even the time for eating is saved.

During the whole meal, Julian didn't touch the food. The middle-aged woman tried her best, but he always kept "I'm standing still with people blowing in the face", even if you say something, don't think about me Eat these unknown objects.

Later, the middle-aged woman also saw Julian's difficulty, and simply turned her attention to Owen. As a result, Owen gave him a cold look, and the middle-aged woman shivered, and didn't dare to say a word.

Julian: ...

He seemed shy, but in fact he stepped his head into Owen's arms in frustration, muttering in a low voice: "Why, you keep talking nonstop when you come to me, and you shut up with that look in your eyes. Am I a bully or what? "

Owen's face was calm, and he laughed in his heart: "If you have to say it, you are a 'woman', I am a man, I am strong, you can only lie in my arms, in all fairness, obviously you are the one who is easier to bully .”

Of course Julian knew that what Owen said was true, but this answer belonged to friends, not lovers!

He couldn't help but grind his teeth on the flesh of Owen's chest. This guy dared to say anything when he was in bed, how sweet it was, why didn't he know something nice to say at this time?

Sure enough, it was because of his current state that he was inflated, waiting for him to recover!You have to give him some color to see!

This difficult dinner was finally over. The servants who entered the side door of the restaurant quickly cleaned the table and replaced it with a brand new tablecloth.

Julian noticed that these servants treated all family members with malice in their eyes, and only when facing the old man, would they show some sincere respect.

"Interesting." Julian shared his discovery with Owen. As for the little fat man, this guy hid in a corner after drinking the bigu potion, and said, "I know myself, and I will never get involved with you." the meaning of.

Owen glanced at the old man and nodded to Julian, indicating that the man would not pose a threat to them.

Julian was determined at once. As a severely disabled man, his biggest cheat now is Owen. Since Owen said he can solve the other party, there should be nothing on this ship that Owen can't solve.

"Okay, since everyone has finished eating, let's start." The old man also didn't use any food, almost after the servants cleaned up the table, he couldn't wait to announce the start of the family meeting.

A man who looked young and aggressive chuckled: "Patriarch, why are you in such a hurry? We don't even know the identity of the new member yet."

The old man glanced at him blankly and waved his hand. Isaac, the sharp-toothed butler, appeared out of nowhere, holding a thick bronze book in his hand.

"Okay, since you don't know, let me introduce you." The old man opened the bronze book and quickly found the location of the two of them.

"Stanley and Laura, did I mispronounce them? Their identities are recorded in the genealogy. I think everyone should have no objection." The old man said coldly, looking around with a slightly threatening gaze.

The few people he saw all staggered his gaze, and seemed to be a little afraid of him.

But that unruly young man didn't seem to like him, he still leaned lazily on the chair, and said casually: "Stanley? The illegitimate child created by the lower body, when did the illegitimate child have the right to inherit the position of patriarch?"

He propped his hands on the table, his smile didn't reach his eyes, and he looked at Julian and the others with contemptuous contempt.

Julian lowered his eyes, didn't speak, and acted like a quiet beautiful man... no, a beautiful woman.

He didn't know about the illegitimate child, but he observed very carefully when Stanley made the statement. Although it was inconspicuous, that Stanley did have some kind of pride in his identity.

As a descendant who did not know how many generations, he was cursed by a strange big ship, what could he be proud of?

But looking at it from another perspective, for a family that values ​​bloodlines very much, their descendants must also attach great importance to it, so Stanley can only be proud of his own bloodlines. What kind of bloodlines should he be proud of?Of course it is the blood of the direct descendants!

So Julian speculated that Stanley is likely to be a descendant of the direct blood.What happened on the ship back then was always a secret, or those who escaped kept those things secret. The information Stanley could share with Julian was limited, but he got a lot of surprises from the little fat man.

Fatty's ancestor had a little-known hobby, that is, he liked to listen to gossip. He not only listened to it, but also wrote it down, so the various gossip notes handed down by him became extracurricular reading materials for Fatty when he was young.

It is precisely because the ancestor liked to collect all kinds of gossip information back then, that Julian knew that the attitude of the direct descendants of the family to the collateral families was quite unfriendly, some were extreme, and even felt that the people of the collateral families were born with Those who belong to the direct family should serve them.Of course, all kinds of bullying are indispensable, and the wife of a certain unlucky collateral member hooked up with a member of the direct line. Later, a riot broke out on the ship and a large number of people died. The wife was lucky to survive. And got pregnant.

It's hard to say who the child is, but according to the gossip of the little fat man's ancestors, it may belong to that direct descendant.

What's more coincidental is that he also heard the name of that wife from Stanley, who he said was his grandma.In this way, everything is on the right track, and Stanley should be the descendant of the illegitimate son of the direct line member.

Julian wasn't worried about the unruly man's attack at all, and he wasn't the most anxious person on the boat now, so someone would come out to charge for him!

Sure enough, the old man spoke, and he gave the unruly man a dissatisfied look: "August, although Stanley's ancestor was an illegitimate child, he was the illegitimate child of the direct line. You should know that the illegitimate child of the direct line has the right to inherit."

The unruly man snorted and looked at the old man with cold eyes. He is also a descendant of an illegitimate child. Why should members of the direct line have the right to inherit? After all, what is the difference between the direct line and the collateral line?He is particularly displeased with those people in the direct line who are lying on their collaterals to suck blood!
