At the headquarters of the Dark Dragon Rider, the old man was stunned for a moment. After checking the source of the funds, his gray face quickly became rosy. He drank the coffee in one sip, but felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he rang the summoning bell.

As usual, the female assistant leaned into half of her body, chose the angle that best showed her proud breasts, and then asked the old man what instructions he had.

"Another cup of coffee."

The female assistant thought this way, but she was a little surprised. The old man seemed to be in a very good mood now, completely different from the moment.

Just as she was about to go out, the old man suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, you are very beautiful today. You feel so young!"

Years of strict training made the female assistant's expression still maintain an indifferent look like ice. She thanked her faintly, then closed the office door, then leaned against it, and gasped quickly. Her heartbeats like a drum set under the rock drummer.

She lowered her head, looked at the bottomless gully on her chest, and decided to change her clothes tomorrow and lower the collar.

Located in the southwest of Longcheng, Lalvin Forest Manor is a huge industry covering an area of ​​dozens of square kilometers. As the name of the manor shows, this area includes a large area of ​​forest, a hill, a small river passing through, a castle and several manors scattered everywhere.

Unlike the practical styles of many modern emerging families, the Fabregas family still maintains the ancient nostalgic tradition. The castle and manor are antique, and many decorations and accessories are collected from the ruins of various places. They are genuine old-time goods. The food of the manor is no exception, and the old-time methods are still marinated and red wine is brewed.

The small river that crosses the territory is introduced into an artificial lake and a branch river is divided into a river surrounding the castle. In today's era, this certainly has no defensive significance, but more of a decorative effect.

There is no new era industry in the entire Lalvin Forest area, which is completely like the rural life of the 18th century in the old era. Time seems to be dozing under the shade of trees and by the river. Everything is so quiet and slow.

There are only traces of this era in the upper reaches of the river. A water purification plant representing the new era of technology is built there. The milky white wavy dome covers the kilometer-long river section. Under the dome with dreamy colors, there are rows of water purification equipment, neat and grand. On the one hand, it supplies the pure water needed for the entire Lalvin Forest Manor, and on the other hand, it ensures that the water flowing into the castle moat and artificial lake is clean. Of course, it is impossible to reach a level of no radiation at all, but at least it can allow an ordinary person to swim in it.

To communicate with people refers to the standards of the old era. After more than 50 years of development in the new era, human radiation resistance has been significantly improved. Of course, the price may be mutated tissues, or changed genes. In any case, this water purification plant represents the work and financial resources of the Fabregas family. After the water flows out of the Lalvin Forest area, as the radiation substances are absorbed along the way, the water quality will gradually decline. However, on both sides of the river road where water quality can still be consumed, it can be called full of vitality, and the density of various organisms is several times that of other regions.

There is a flat road that connects the Larvin Forest Manor and Dragon City. In fact, the Fabregas family is not known for its military power. Ricardo is already outstanding among the children of the family with outstanding combat talents. However, compared with the Arthur family who had Passephenie and Oberen, and the William family who had the calm and deep Ludendolf, it is still more than a step away. The advantage of the Fabregas family, which inherited from the old era, is that it is old enough and each generation has maintained the minimum prosperity. Now, in terms of the number of children of the family above the average level, the centripetal force within the family, and the loyalty of the children of each family to the family, it will never lose to the three major families.

People connected by blood are the greatest wealth of the family. This is the creed of the old Fabregas, and it is also the fundamental reason why he has to maintain family honor at all costs. Only by giving the family's visible future and protecting them as much as possible can they always remain loyal to the family and make the blood-related bonds more solid. In fact, Old Fabregas, who has been 65 years, never believed in loyalty without reason or price.

Old Fabregas, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, was a thin and elegant old man. His eagle-like nose and deep eyes embellished a stubborn but wise face. He held a glass of red wine from the manor in his hand, and through the floor-to-ceiling window, he looked at the quiet and peaceful water surface and the exquisite and atmospheric garden below.

Large radiant clouds hang in the sky, transmitting colorful light, reflecting the castle and garden like the world in fairy tales, without distinguishing between day and night, as if they are in an eternal city. This is fatal beauty. Only when the wind blows enough radiation clouds can such beautiful light similar to the aurora appear. Whenever this light appears, most creatures in the forest will hide deep in their nests to avoid radiation with several times higher concentrations. Only those mutated creatures who rely on radiation for their lives will be happy and run from their habitats to the clearings to enjoy the scorching light.

Most people in the new era still cannot resist the radiating clouds without any protection, but every building in the Lalvin Forest Manor has perfect protective measures, and even newborn babies can be perfectly protected and cared for in any room. Lalvin Manor has its own meteorological monitoring system, which can accurately predict and monitor harmful environmental changes. At such moments, those who dare to act outdoors naturally have the ability or equipment to protect themselves.

This vast area of ​​dozens of kilometers has undergone decades of meticulous operation and continuous construction. It can be said to be a symbol of the wealth accumulation of the Fabregas family over the past century, and is by no means a feat that no nouveau riche can accomplish overnight.

Old Fabregas looked at all this proudly. Although he was old, his physical condition was definitely not as old as his age. In the family's biochemical laboratory, anti-aging agents have made breakthroughs, and a small amount of stable and effective agents can be obtained through laboratory synthesis. This is of course very expensive. In addition to the large amount of extremely difficult-to-get raw materials, the uncontrollability of the synthesis reaction is still an unsolvable problem. The low success rate makes this agent far from mass production, but it is already enough for Old Fabregas to use. For him, what is important now is whether there is or not, or whether it is expensive or not.

During the twenty years he was the patriarch, the family's strength has been steadily expanding. No matter from any period, Fabregas was not the fastest-growing family, but it was definitely the most stable family. At any time, the family's expansion and wealth accumulation have not stopped. In the past twenty years, Old Fabregas has witnessed the rise and fall of too many other families, and at the same time, he also watched the Fabregas family steadily improve. In his hands, the family's comprehensive strength has become a force second only to the three major families, and in his apparently not young body, there is a very strong heart.
