In the luxuriously and luxuriously decorated hall, an old nobleman dressed in grand costumes and capable of spirit sat on the top, and a pair of shining eyes on his somewhat serious old face looked closely at the garden outside the hall.

When he heard the footsteps and saw the figure appear, he stood up in an instant, looking at his sons and a few guests who had come to the family together, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The Lyons family looks very glorious on the surface, but only the core members and some discerning people on the outside can see the crisis of the Lyons family.

The Lyons family has him for a day, and they can still support this Great Xia from collapsing, but as soon as he dies, other families will definitely suppress the Lyons family, just because the Lyons family is missing a Dinghai God Needle.

He is old, and the time to protect the family is running out, and he must find another way out for the family as soon as possible.

Wright followed Cox and the others to the hall, and saw several older figures of the Lyons family waiting to be welcomed, and there was no surprise in their hearts! He saw it very thoroughly, the Lyons family made such a big effort to invest in Lin Lei, there must be something in the family, when he saw the leader of the old man who was close to 80 years old, and the strength of the few people next to him was a lot worse than the strength of the leading old man, he immediately guessed in his heart that the Lyons family was looking for a backer!

Of course, Lin Lei can't count on it for the time being, they want to invest in the future.

After all, with this old man's age and physical condition, he can still support it for ten or eight years.

As for why the Lyons family didn't seek refuge from other family alliances or other ninth-level powerhouses, this was their business.

"Grandfather." When Cox entered the hall, he bowed slightly to the old man, and then shouted to the other two, "Second grandfather, third grandfather!" ”

Then he introduced to Wright Buyun and them: "This is the patriarch of our Lyons family, the marquis of the Finlay Kingdom...... Thar Lyons. Grandfather, this is ......"

"Marquis of Silvermoon." Lin Lei and Hillman saluted, Wright Buyun nodded, leaned forward, and the old man immediately returned the salute, and the etiquette was very in place.

Wright Cloud is also following the local customs.

The reputation of this Marquis of Silver Moon is forged, and it is not easy to get the position of a real marquis in a kingdom. For more than 50 years, this old marquis led the army to capture several cities of the Dark Alliance, and his military achievements were outstanding and very brilliant.

It's just that people say that they are rich for no more than three generations, the old marquis is so good, but none of the descendants can get it, almost all of the past twenty years have been eating the old book, and the Lyons family has also had a declining momentum, and even in recent years, when the old marquis's strength fell from the ninth level to the eighth order, some kingdom nobles kept a close eye on the Lyons family, just to see when the old marquis died.

And over the years, the Lyons family has also attacked everywhere, investing in geniuses and other families in the alliance, but there is no way to find any eighth-order powerhouse or ninth-order powerhouse who is willing to shelter the Lyons family, and the other party is either too big or unwilling to shelter, which makes the Lyons family even more worried.

When the old marquis dies, of course, the Lyons family will not be wiped out, but the impact will be great, and when the time comes, whether it is prestige, family business, territory, etc., will fall and be divided by others.

The aristocracy has never been sacred, in their eyes there is only profit!

"Okay." The old man smiled, turned to Wright Buyun and the others, his gaze stayed on Lin Lei for the longest time, and he asked with a kind and harmonious smile, "This is our little genius, Lin Lei-Baruch, right!" ”

"Hello, old man." Lin Lei bowed slightly, saluted with aristocratic etiquette, and said with a smile: "You have raised Lin Lei, the name of genius, Lin Lei does not dare to call himself for the time being." ”

"The little one is still modest...... Ha ha! Old Sail saw that Lin Lei was only eight years old, and he couldn't find fault with his demeanor and etiquette, and he only responded indifferently when he was admired.

"Two gentlemen, Lin Lei's little genius, come on, you're all hungry compared to you, let's talk while eating." The old marquis waved his hand a little enthusiastically and ordered a banquet to be opened.

A group of people changed places again and came to a luxurious restaurant.

This huge dining room can sit down for hundreds of people, and the large long dining table is already filled with plates of rich dishes, and there are also members of the Lyons family in gorgeous clothes standing at the long table, these Lyons family members are men and women, old and young, and almost the entire family participates in welcoming Wright Steps.

It can be seen that the old marquis attaches great importance to Lin Lei.

"Xiao Lin Lei, sit here." Cox personally arranged the seats, and arranged the three of them in the top position, and Wright was only two feet away from the old marquis.

"Xiao Xiaolin, come, come on, sit here, sit with my father." Cox arranged the three of them, and then beckoned to a little farther away from each other, and a girl about ten years old, with a delicate face, wearing a little princess dress, stood up and asked a little confusedly, "Father, are you calling me?" ”

The little girl came to him, and couldn't help but say that he sat next to Lin Lei, and then he also sat next to the little girl.

Wright Buyun looked at such a seating arrangement, and laughed secretly in his heart, how old is Lin Lei, this is to stuff him with a woman, it's not good!

"Lin Lei, this is my youngest daughter, Mi Lin, I went to the church test like you today, and my results were okay, and I was also admitted to Ernst College." Cox smiled and said to Lin Lei, who was in a different position.

"Oh, congratulations Uncle Cox, congratulations to Sister Mireen." Lin Lei congratulated with a smile.

Cox smiled proudly on his face, and it was naturally quite a celebratory thing for his children to be admitted to the first magic academy on the continent, Ernst.

"My father stuffed me with a lot of money to recruit teachers at that Ernst College before letting me in." The little girl suddenly stabbed his father, which made Cox's face more embarrassed, and he had to laugh dryly.

In fact, the little girl's talent is not bad, it is not a problem to go to a higher magic academy, but to enter Ernst, the first magic academy in the continent, it is a little bit less meaningful, and it is impossible to buy each other without money!

Of course, the other party can collect money, which also means that Mi Lin's talent is not bad, and it is very close to Ernst's score admission line, otherwise the other party, as an enrollment officer of Ernst Academy, will not dare to take money.

"What do you mean to buy?" Cox glanced at her angrily, and then said to Lin Lei, "Don't listen to her nonsense, in fact, her magical talent is not bad, the high-level water elemental affinity talent, and the spiritual power of her peers is twelve times, if she doesn't enter the Ernst Academy to study, it will be a waste." ”

"But father, this is the third time I've been to the test." The little girl continued to insert the knife, which made Cox grit his teeth in anger, wondering if he usually spoiled her too much, and he didn't look at the place when he was messing around.

"Pretty good." Lin Lei nodded, of course, this is also inseparable from the background of the Lyons family, Mi Lin should have learned the meditation method when she was very young, which is also incomparable to the common nobles, even if they don't pass the test for the first time, if they don't pass the test for the first time, the spiritual power of the next year will increase even more, and they will always be admitted if they are qualified.

The old marquis on the throne watched all this with a smile on his face, and did not interrupt their conversation.

"Lin Lei, your talent is so powerful, I don't know if you were born or cultivated, you are much more powerful than me." The little girl looked at Lin Lei with envy, and said with a tired look on her little face: "It's hard to practice meditation methods in normal times, if I'm like you, I am born with strong spiritual power." ”

Lin Lei shook his head secretly, he was born with strong mental power? Then only he knows, in the past half a year of hard cultivation, he doesn't even have time to play, who is this to say?

At the signal of the old marquis, Cox patted the little girl, asked her to stop asking Lin Lei one after another, stood up and first introduced the identities of Lin Lei, Wright and Hillman, and after the family members greeted each other, and then said: "The welcome banquet begins, the three of you are not polite, especially Lin Lei, just treat this place as home." ”
