Chapter 313: Becoming a father
The standing lion is the symbol of the Pillman family.
The Pillman family is the family that used to clown for Ethan in the parliament.
Every time Ethan had an idea in his mind but couldn't bring it up himself, it was Joseph from the Pillman family who stood up and took the blame.
Although this family announced its withdrawal from the parliament and was not very obedient, Ethan had some feelings for this family.
At this time, in the study room.
Ethan looked at the groveling Joseph in front of him and cursed:
"You and I have always been comrades-in-arms walking side by side, but when the danger came, you chose to abandon your comrades-in-arms. Why do you have the nerve to ask me to help you now? Huh?"
"The Pillman family, which is famous in Marlow City, acts so courageously. How can I trust you in the future? Huh?"
"If every member of the parliament is like you, advancing when they want and retreating when they want, then what authority is there? Huh?"
"You'd better reflect on it, why would you do such a stupid thing?"
"Um?"
…
Ethan cursed for half an hour before it was over.
As a middle-aged man, Joseph was like a child who made a mistake. He kept his head down and never spoke back despite the 17-year-old Ethan scolding him.
After being scolded for half an hour, he left happily.
As for the other families, Ethan did not curse them, but instead received them warmly, just like he would treat his friends.
When tea is served, tea is served, and when snacks are served, snacks are served.
They were smiling and chatting politely throughout the whole process, and there was not a harsh word in the middle.
But even though they were treated politely by Ethan, when they left, everyone was downcast, as if they had lost their souls.
This is in obvious contrast to Joseph who left happily before.
By the time everyone was sent away, several hours had passed, and Ethan's stomach was growling with hunger.
Fortunately, Sophia kept her lunch, and they went to the restaurant to eat together.
While Sofia was cutting the lamb chops on the plate, she stared at Ethan with a smile in her eyes and said, "You are just too soft-hearted, and you end up causing trouble for yourself.
And you are causing trouble for yourself, but you want me to help you deal with your funeral. "
Ethan put the whole mutton chop into his mouth, swallowed it in three bites, and then asked for another portion.
Then he replied vaguely: "You know I am very nostalgic for old friendships. Although Joseph is stupid, he always takes the blame for us.
And if he returns to Parliament, it will also help us.
He should be given a hand both emotionally and rationally. "
"Alas..." Sophia sighed helplessly: "Okay! I will have a good talk with the other families, exchange them, add a few more seats, and draw some allies from each.
This should be no problem. "
Seeing that Sophia settled the matter instantly, Ethan smiled knowingly.
"This matter should probably be done quickly, before the Holy Light Sect people come."
"No!" Sofia shook her head slightly, "This matter cannot be rushed, no one has the mind to deal with the affairs of the members of the parliament now.
Everyone is watching how the Holy Light Religion handles this attack.
Only when the Holy Light Religion finalizes this matter can the establishment of additional seats be put on the agenda. "
Ethan knew that Sophia was right, so he smiled bitterly and looked out the window.
At this time, there is a steady spring rain outside the window...
So Holy Light Religion! What will you do?
…
Time flies so fast, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For more than a month, Maruo City was peaceful and nothing happened.
But for Ethan, it was not so peaceful.
The Holy Light Religion has not issued a statement to characterize the attack, which shows that they still have ideas about the Parliament.
But Ethan knew this and could do nothing about it.
The only thing he can do is, in the name of Parliament, issue a reward for information leading to the murderer.
I hope to be able to confirm who the murderer is before the Holy Light Cult identifies him, so that he can get rid of his own suspicion.
It's just a pity that although there are many people providing clues due to the bounty, basically none of them are useful, or even fabricated.
Therefore, this matter has never come to an end.
With outside forces beyond his control, Ethan focused on the boundaries of his manor.
After such a long period of hard work and spending more than ten thousand gold, the [Forbidden Law] barrier was finally completed.
Today is the day of testing.
Everyone in the entire manor was moved out of the barrier, and then Ekarina entered the basement of the manor alone to activate the barrier.
With a soft "buzz" sound, paths of light lit up across the entire manor.
They criss-cross and eventually merge into a five-pointed star formation.
When the array took shape, various colored beams of light erupted from each node, rushing toward the sky at an oblique angle, and finally gathered together 200 meters above the manor to form a dazzling ball of light.
Its radiance is so brilliant that it is impossible to look directly at it.
Then the light suddenly exploded, and countless brilliance fell like snowflakes, eventually forming a hemispherical light mask with a diameter of 5,000 meters with the manor as the center.
The mask only stayed for a few seconds, then gradually dissipated, and everything returned to normal.
Not long after, Yekarina jumped out of the manor, her face as excited as if she had won the lottery.
"Lord, everything in the barrier is operating normally.
And because it uses ultra-high-quality runes and a magic circuit based on gold powder, the entire enchantment system runs extremely smoothly.
I've never seen an enchantment run so smoothly, and it feels amazing. "
Although Ethan was also happy that the barrier was completed, he was not as excited as Yekarina.
After all, for the enchantment, what is important is not whether it runs smoothly, but whether there are any problems with its functions, which must be tested.
Since the Forbidden Barrier is ineffective against ordinary people, Ethan deliberately did not include Embiid in the identification of friend or foe.
Now is the time for him to go in and test.
When Embiid crossed the boundary line of the barrier, in Ethan's perception, a small chain silently emerged from the ground and quickly connected to Embiid's spine.
This scene is exactly the same as what I saw in Neutral City.
Embiid, who was connected by the small chain, seemed unaware and still walked forward with a confused look on his face.
Ethan asked him to try if he could use the Force. Embiid tried it and finally showed a smile: "Master, there is no problem. The Force cannot be activated."
Ethan smiled and walked into the barrier to try it out.
However, since it has been added to the recognition list, there is no response.
Now that it was confirmed that the barrier was feasible and there were no adverse risks, Ethan arranged for everyone to go back.
He himself carefully helped Angelina.
Angelina immediately lost her temper when she saw Ethan supporting her like an old lady.
"You're just pregnant, and it's only been more than a month. Why do you need to look like this?"
Yes, Angelina is pregnant.
In fact, it wasn't just her, Sofia also had it.
Ethan didn’t even know how to describe how he felt now.
Before the two of them were pregnant, he always felt that there was something wrong with his body.
This matter was extremely difficult for a man to talk about. He didn't dare to tell others, so he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, feeling uneasy all the time.
But now that she was really pregnant, he felt particularly uncomfortable.
And when I'm not pregnant, there aren't any, but when I'm pregnant, there are five.
Angelina had three in her belly and Sofia had two in her belly.
While Ethan was glad that his health was fine, he also thought that he was only 17 years old and he was the father of five children. He felt neither happy nor unhappy.
Who can understand that feeling!
