Lin Chen and the others, who lived in the Grand Duke Fort, got the news from the guards, and waited with some nervousness and anticipation, but they were not summoned for the first time, until the next day at noon, when the guards came to pass the word, asking Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan to visit the duke.

Lin Chen wanted to follow, but was refused, so he could only wait honestly.

"Will they be separated from us?" Chu Wu and the others left Duanmu Rong, with some reluctance in their eyes, in the past few days, she and Wang Xinchan had fully understood the existence of demons, and they were no longer afraid of Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan.

Lin Chen was silent.

He had already prepared for separation, with the potential of Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan, they would inevitably be reused by Duke Bailan, and he had no ability to shelter the two of them, although it was cruel, but he had to admit that if they were separated, it would be good for each other.

Perhaps the most helpless thing is to be sincerely with each other, but they just hurt each other.

While they were waiting, less than an hour, Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan turned back again, and the guards who accompanied them back saw Lin Chen and said, "Master Lin? ”

Lin Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect to summon him.

He looked at Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan and asked with his eyes.

Duanmu Rong whispered: "Lord Duke asked us to stay and live here, I told him about you, he seems to be a little interested and wants to talk to you." ”

Lin Chen knew what to expect, nodded and left with the guards.

After entering the courtyard, I walked for a long time, and came to a most imposing building, which was like a labyrinth, and walked along the luxurious corridor for a long time, before I came to the door of an expensive oak house, the door of the room was two, and a crack was enough for Lin Chen to walk in.

The room is well-lit and luxuriously furnished, not resplendent and responsibly decorated, but full of prestige and elegance.

As soon as Lin Chen entered the room, he saw the Duke of Bailan, who was sitting at an office-like desk, with a cup of tea brewing beside him, curling white smoke, and a maid beside him kneading his shoulders.

This Duke of Bailan looks to be in his fifties, with a few strands of gray hair on his sideburns, deep contours of his eye sockets, and a plain gentleness in his eyes, but his slightly sharp eyebrows are a little majestic, even if he looks middle-aged at the moment, he can vaguely see that he was young enough to rely on his appearance to eat.

"Lord Duke, people have brought it. The guard bowed his head.

Duke Bailan's gaze lifted from the book in his hand, and when he saw Lin Chen's age, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he put the book in his hand aside, and sat up straight, just this small gesture was easy to make people feel good, and he said gently: "You are the Lin master who is willing to shelter the aliens?"

"Lin Chen pays a visit to the duke. ”

Lin Chen hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed his head, looking very respectful, but in fact, he was trying to hide the shock in his eyes.

When he looked at Duke Bailan before, he naturally called up the attribute panel of this duke, but this time he found that the attribute panel of this duke was also a colorful xenomorph panel!

Previously, Lin Chen had heard from Tang Wu and the other people in the Duke's Fort that this Duke of Bailan was a mortal!

Because of this, Duke Bailan, as a mortal, was willing to shelter Tang Wu's alien species, which made people feel greatly shocked and moved!

However, Lin Chen's attribute panel would not deceive him, and this Duke of Bailan probably didn't expect that someone would have the attribute ability to identify other people's identities at a glance like Lin Chen.

Obviously, this Duke of Bailan deceived Tang Wuthem and hid his xenomorph identity!

In this way, all the things that this Duke of Bailan has shown are debatable.

"Sure enough, the duke's purpose of sheltering the xenomorphs is not simple, but it is well hidden and not exposed, but a big man like him can sit firmly in this position, and it is untrue to say that there is no power and scheming in his heart. ”

Lin Chen's heart quickly regained his composure, and at the same time, his future plan became more determined.

Even a group of fragrant benevolent people like Duke Bailan are gathering xenomorphs, which shows that the future of this world will indeed change dramatically, xenomorphs will replace martial arts, unstoppable, whoever can take the first step to 'awaken' and use xenomorphs to seize the opportunity will be able to grab a piece of territory in this world in the future!

This Duke of Bailan is the real 'Awakened One'!

Thinking of this, and wanting to leave Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan immediately, Lin Chen couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, but he also knew that with his current strength, he could only let others snatch meat from his bowl, helpless, and even had to be grateful to others, he didn't break his bowl while grabbing meat.

The glory of the strong is thousands, but the sorrow of the weak is the same.

"You're not afraid of demons, why?" Duke Bailan's voice was gentle and warm, but the question was very sharp.

Lin Chen already had an answer to deal with, and bowed his head and said: "Lord Huiduke, they are my disciples, I believe that they are not demons, even if they are demons, they will not easily hurt others!"

"Do you believe it?" Duke Bai Lan smiled slightly, and said, "If everyone in the world can be as unbiased as you, there will not be so many fears and disasters in this world." ”

He equated fear and catastrophe, Lin Chen agreed very much, and nodded slightly tentatively: "Maybe in the future, there will be more and more awakened people, and people will not be so afraid, and the reason why they are afraid now is mostly because of the unknown and a few." ”

Duke Bailan's eyes showed a little appreciation, and he chuckled: "You are young, but you can see it thoroughly, are you interested in serving me?"

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this Duke Bailan to be so direct, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing, if it was him, if he saw talented people, he would also recruit them directly, so there was no need to hide it.

However, he has the ability of the attribute panel, and staying under the nose of Duke Bailan all year round will inevitably be exposed.

Moreover, he didn't want to send people to the fence anymore, although he still needed to grow now, and he needed to use the resources of other forces, but Duke Bailan's power was not so easy to borrow, and the risk was too great.

"I'm just a martial artist, I don't know how I can serve the Duke?" Lin Chen did not refuse directly, but expressed it euphemistically.

Duke Bailan saw Lin Chen's refusal, and also saw the youthful and vigorous spirit in this young man's eyes, he smiled lightly, from Lin Chen's information, he could see that this was an ambitious young man, otherwise he would not be young and would be in charge.

Of course, such ambitions are nothing compared to his ambitions.

Therefore, he can allow this young man to have ambition and sharpness, and if he doesn't have either, he will be a young man in vain.

"I can give you two options. Duke Bailan smiled and said: "The first choice is requested by your disciple Duanmu Rong, she agreed to stay here, but the premise is that I will find you a good sect and provide you with a good martial arts cultivation environment, which I am very happy to do, in fact, even if she does not have such a request, I will help you, because, I see you very pleasing to the eye." ”

Lin Chen was slightly stunned.

Thinking of Duanmu Rong's previous whispering, she didn't seem to say this to herself, was she worried about hurting her self-esteem, or did she not want to say anything about parting?

Seeing Duke Bailan's kind gaze, and the relationship above his head turned into friendliness, Lin Chen was slightly silent, although he saw that this Duke of Bailan had other plans for recruiting aliens, but he had to say that people helped him.

Tang Wu and the others, who served Duke Bailan, saved their lives, and it was a human favor.

And this Duke of Brand, although he had other purposes, at least for the time being, gave them a place to stay.

Seeing Lin Chen's expression, Duke Bailan was very interested, and said, "Why, didn't she tell you about this?" Hehe, interesting little girl, how about it, are you willing?"

Lin Chen asked, "Then what is the second choice?"
