"Short-distance transmission of magic arrays?"

Renard was a little confused in German, and seemed a little uncertain.

"Yes."

Arbo nodded, affirming the other party's guess.

"Where did you get this thing?"

There was no unnecessary change in Austin's complexion, but he looked at Abbott calmly, but the dignity of the sea under the calmness was enough to make everyone feel Austin's seriousness.

His meaning is very obvious. If the other party doesn't say one, two, three in this regard, and explain the origin of this thing clearly, then if Austin is not going to have to plan for the worst.

After all, the current situation is indeed a bit critical.

"Well, Master, you can ask Big Brother Acheson."

Abbott could feel the abruptly killing atmosphere around him, but he didn't have the slightest fear or worry on his face. He lowered his head slightly and said respectfully towards Austin.

Austin turned his head to look at Acheson who was standing next to him, and asked directly, "Uncle Acheson, do you know what's going on?"

"Well, I can explain the origin of that thing."

"If I remember correctly, it should be the back hand that the Patriarch left to Abbott."

After hearing Abbott's words, Acheson also suddenly remembered something, and said to Austin and Leonard and Bot who stood silently.

The murderous atmosphere that was originally alert to the limit in Austin suddenly became a lot easier, without the original depression and dignity.

And Acheson's explanation continues, "The owner of the Patriarch did not die immediately after being attacked, but he was in a state of dying."

"And it's the kind of situation where the end of death can be seen and there is no possibility of rescue at all."

Austin nodded silently after hearing these words. He was already quite young at the beginning. Although he had not yet begun to take over the relative power of the family, the training standards and support he received at that time were all carried out in accordance with the next generation of the family head.

Therefore, after Dils was attacked, he also surrounded Dils and listened to their plans and arrangements.

Although he did not have the right to intervene at the time, at least the right to suggest and listen was not lacking.

So he knows exactly what happened to Diels back then, and how bad the situation was at the time.

Of course, even though he knew most of the internal information at the time, these things were only gradually realized after he arrived in Gloria City. At the beginning, he did not have a real and true understanding.

After all, education and training can make up for the lack of theory and knowledge, but to truly understand the concepts and principles, practice and experience are needed as support.

Without personal experience, not in such a position, and without sufficient experience, Austin did not really understand the situation at the time as the retainers Acheson and others surrounding Diels did at the beginning. What is the situation.

This is not a difference in intelligence, it is simply a lack of experience and experience.

Leonard and Bol also listened carefully to Acheson's narration, listening to the secrets in it.

Leonard sounded very mindful, but Bol seemed to be indifferent on the sidelines, but in fact his level of attention was not worse than Leonard.

After all, even though Bol followed Austin south, he was the opponent's right-hand man and his most loyal subordinate.

But all of this is the friendship that was created when Austin and Bol shared hardships and struggled in the city of Gloria.

Prior to this, in the Augustus family, although Bol was also valued, he was regarded as a talent cultivated by Austin's powerful left-handers.

But to be honest, at the time Bor, he had only the qualifications to be trained, but he did not have the qualifications to intervene in Augustus's family affairs.

To some extent, this is also for Austin's good.

These people like Bol are the subordinates prepared for Austin. Before Austin's magical power comes out, they can only work hard to cultivate and improve themselves. Everything else is delusional.

Austin doesn't know what other families are like, but their families do operate like this.

This may have been established with their family for more than a hundred years, and there is still a reason for the military merits on the battlefield.

After all, the nature of their family's configuration of the next generation of patriarchs and retainers is no different from that of the martial arts model. It's just the conversion of the execution method and content.

However, looking at Boer's terrifying size and that mighty combat power, they did not lose their essential things.

But to be honest, Bol can only be regarded as one of Austin's right and left hands, and the right hand that symbolizes military power and force.

Austin is not without the kind of think tank who is proficient in political strategy, after all, Diels can't dig such a big hole for his son.

But how can I say it, the one in Austin, which symbolizes intelligence and left hand, has not fully grown up at the beginning, and died directly under Dalton's seizure of power.

Therefore, there was only one Bol who followed Austin to the north.

But then again, even if the guy at the time hadn't been assassinated in the first time, then he really had to say whether he could follow Austin to the north.

After all, under Dalton's frenzied pursuit, those who covered Austin and followed Austin to flee, in the end there was only one Bol, and he knew the degree of madness.

To be honest, Bol was able to survive the predicament that can be called a dead end, except that he himself can afford a pole of the group with Austin as the core, and the rest is good luck.

"At that time, the owner knew that he was in a bad condition, so after he was sure he was not saved, he quickly made a series of arrangements, including but not limited to the secret vaults we saw, and the young master sent him away if he had no alternative. The back hand..."

"And this circle is what the Patriarch gave Abbott back then."

"In other words, life-saving means."

Acheson nodded, confirmed the origin of Abbott's formation, gestured to Austin, denying the possibility that the opponent might be in contact with other forces.

"At the beginning, Abbott was signaled by the Patriarch to fall out with us before the Patriarch's death, and then turned to Dalton."

"Did he doubt it?"

Leonard asked inexplicably, the direct mental fluctuations made Leonard's unconcealed doubts directly understood by Acheson.

"Naturally, there was a corresponding suspicion, but under the circumstances at the time, he did not refuse."

Acheson explained Leonard’s question, “Dalton’s grievance with the Patriarch has a long history. Although I can’t remember what the cause was, the discord between the two has long been lost to the city of Dilno. Known by all major forces."

"Under normal circumstances, Dalton is extremely pleased, and even extremely welcome, to those who take refuge in the family."

"Because he feels that this is a symbol of his victory over the other."

"Of course, the Patriarch is the same with this matter."

Acheson glanced at Leonard, who seemed to want to speak, read the other's doubts directly from the other's expression, and continued to explain, "Although they both understand, there must be some guys who are falsely seeking refuge among these people. , But they have never rejected these people."

"Perhaps in their opinion, the significance of this is enough to outweigh the risks."

"Of course, it may also be because they think these are within their own abilities, so they don't have this kind of worry."

"Although Dalton was still skeptical of Abbott under the circumstances at the time, the strength of this suspicion was at best the same as before, and could not be surpassed."

"Because he knows very well that under such circumstances, if he does anything untimely, he may be discovered and countered."

"If Dalton had jumped out before Diels died, he would definitely not end well."

"Because he knows that even if the master is on the verge of death, as long as he has not really died, he can suppress this rebellion and eliminate future troubles."

Having said that, Acheson sighed suddenly, seemingly regretful.

"However, it is a pity that Dalton at the time was very patient and endured all the opportunities we let out either deliberately or unintentionally."

"Even, Master Dalton didn't respond to a scene of suspended animation, but he found out a few spies from the Tyrros family and the Chris family."

"That's why these things happened later."

Leonard thoughtfully, "In other words, Abbott should have not been reused on Dalton's side at the time."

Acheson nodded his head calmly, as if there was not much volatility in the past, "Yes, if Abbott were able to get into Dalton's decision-making circle at that time, we would not be directly affected without the slightest precaution. It's dry up."

However, judging from the violent mental fluctuations around him, he was not as calm as he appeared to be on the surface.

"However, although Abbott did not play a big role in this, but then, with this opportunity, he gradually entered the top of Dalton's side."

Acheson took the twists and turns lightly, and didn't mean to elaborate.

However, Leonard could feel the violent storm.

You know, as far as they know, Abbott was on the Diels side. Although he was not as good as Acheson in terms of qualifications and record, the opponent’s ability was not covered. It's powerful.

In time, Abbott may not be able to gain a position among Acheson and his group and become a fellow with them.

Even at the beginning, Abbott's attention and training are not bad. However, because there is no outstanding record and excellent confidentiality, it is not known.

Fortunately, this is the case. Otherwise, even if Abbott's ability is strong and Acheson and the others are deadly strong, it is impossible for Abbott to go to the position of Dalton's steward today.

After all, the position of steward can almost be regarded as one of the most central positions in a family.

And to be able to sit in this position, in addition to being strong enough, it also needs the trust of the Patriarch.

Both are indispensable, and even the second point is often more important.

But Abbott’s situation is slightly different.

Although he was trusted by Dalton, he was not absolutely trusted. He said that he had entered the upper echelon of the contemporary Augustus family with Dalton at the core, and he felt that there was no problem.

But he himself understood that he would definitely not be able to reach the level of a housekeeper, which can be called the confidant of the Patriarch, nor would he be able to sit in such a position called the second-in-chief of a family.

Therefore, when he first heard the news, his first reaction was not to be happy, but to be afraid, fear of location, fear of things beyond expectations.

Even, he couldn't help thinking at the time whether the other party had discovered something and was using this to test him.

So the original Abbott decisively rejected the proposal, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

But later, although Dalton didn't say it clearly, Abbott probably understood what the other party meant.

The other party does not completely trust him, but just wants to use him as a benchmark, as a model.

It was to release goodwill to the veterans and officials left over from the Diels era and let the other party understand that he didn't mean to target them.

If this were not the case, he would not choose to let Abbott be the steward.

This attitude is hard to say for the number of irons in Diels, but for those guys in the middle and lower classes, it is accurate.

After all, they are essentially little people with no decisiveness and only execution.

To some extent, the disturbances and decisions of the upper echelons are not directly related to them.

So, in the same way, they played the role of a tool man in the battle between Dalton and Diels.

This is determined by their own identity and responsibilities, and cannot be changed by their thoughts.

Of course, this is only the overwhelming majority, and the "owners" who are inserted by both sides are not counted.

It is precisely because of this that after the confrontation between the two sides is completed, the degree of cleaning they received is not too high.

Even, apart from a few definite diehards who were dealt with, the others, at most, were quarantined and examined during the chaotic period of the transfer of family power, and there was no major impact.

So to a certain extent, they changed their identities and invested in Dalton's side. It really didn't have much psychological burden.

Because they have never served ~lightnovelpub.net~ or not just Diels, Dalton, etc., but the Augustus family.

Of course, it is inevitable for everyone to be close and close.

However, the lower layer that supports the backbone of a family and lays the foundation, its own reusable absorption is far better than the opposition of the upper layer.

It was based on this idea that Dalton made such a thing as putting Abbott in his current position.

His purpose is very clear, that is, to hold the entire family in his hands.

There is basically no hope for the upper-class people on the opposite side, and he just expresses his attitude, hitting two shots with one and not the other. As long as the middle and lower tiers of the entire family can be held firmly, there will be no major problems.

As for the senior management, it is too late for the people on their side to share the cake, so how can they let other people share their interests?

Of course, Dalton attaches great importance to those people left by Diels because he wants to obtain the secret library, but he has not been able to do so under the circumstances that he does not care about it, does not cooperate with the other party, and is worried about the death of the fish and the breaking of the net.
