Windy City, Mutes' home.

After not returning for a year, the Rhine's courtyard had torn down its original walls and encircled a larger courtyard, where Linko's first meal after his return was eaten, and a huge U-shaped table was placed in the center of the courtyard, where all the important members of the Mutes family gathered.

This was the first time in Linko's memory that he had ever lived.

"How long has it been since we, as a family, have eaten a meal like this?" Rhine slowly got up and spoke, and everyone in the courtyard fell silent, "No matter how the world changes, there is nothing happier than a family reunion, everyone raise a glass and toast to today's reunion!"

"Cheers!" everyone shouted in unison, and they were happy.

"Hubert and Cohen have returned from the imperial capital, their academic performance is good, I am very satisfied, Cher and Lilith are not my own granddaughters, but I think of myself as your grandfather, I know all your achievements in the academy, I am proud of you," Rhine said emotionally with a rare and stereotypical face, You children are the pride of the Mutes family, and they are also the role models of your other brothers and sisters, and my children of the Mutes family should be brave and brave to move forward, come, we will make a toast to these wonderful children in the family!"

"Cheers!" shouted in unison, and the atmosphere grew stronger.

"I, Rhine and all the brothers, are the first generation of our Mutes family, after several struggles, experienced some hardships, and finally established our family in this side of Windy City, now Rhine has been gifted by His Majesty the Emperor, and the generals of the military department value it, sitting in the second position of the military in Windy City, not asking for anything else, only asking for a happy life for our family, and also asking everyone to cherish everything in front of you, and at the same time not forget your roots, you are already nobles, but I Rhine, but I am an authentic civilian, cherish the present, can not forget the roots, come, cheers！”

"Cheers!" cheered, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

"I can't say more, I'm going to get drunk, haha," Rhine said after laughing happily, "The children are hungry, come, have a feast!"

In a burst of cheers, the food was served like water.

Lin Ke was of a lower rank, so he sat at the end of the big table with his siblings on one side, Daisy on one side, Hardy on the other, and then Cher, Lilith, and Neil, and the group ate very enthusiastically.

"Cohen," Linko's second cousin Mento suddenly came to his side, attracting a lot of people's attention, only to see him raise his glass and say, "The second cousin used to be a muddy person and a waste person, you woke up and gave me the opportunity I have now, cousin is convinced, more respectful, come, cousin toast you!"

Lin Ke raised his glass and stood up and said with a smile, "Where does the second cousin speak, not to mention that his own brothers should love each other, just say that if you don't have this ability, you can't sit in this position, do you speak so effectively?"

On the high position, not only Rhine smiled and nodded, but the third elder Rhodes nodded frequently.

As soon as Mento left, Hubert came over, "Cohen, the lobby brother will go to Dragon Slayer Castle after the summer vacation, do you have anything to say?"

"How about Cohen wishing the hall brother the opening of the mansion as soon as possible?" said Lin Ke with a grin.

"Forget it," Hubert said after rolling his eyes and touching Linko's cup, "Lobby brother is waiting for you to go to Dragon Slayer Castle next year to carry me, Master Ten." ”

"When the time comes, you will be comrades-in-arms, there is no support between comrades-in-arms, only side by side, don't be cowardly before you go, brother in the lobby, you are the eldest of our brothers, the first to enter the War God Academy, and the first to enter the Dragon Slayer Castle, this example must be maintained, do it!"

Hubert laughed and drank it all.

After Hubert left, Linko couldn't sit and eat any longer, so he picked up his wine glass and went to the place of his brothers and sisters, first Lisa, the lobby sister who was not very close but more fair, then Wade, who was going to go to the God of War Academy with him to take the entrance exam after the summer vacation, and finally came to the fourth cousin Vic, who had been tricked into poisoning Cohen so that Cohen killed himself.

"Fourth cousin, Cohen toasts you," Lin Ke said generously.

"Cohen, I'm ......" Vic has obviously not had a good year, his body is getting thinner and thinner than last year, and he looked a little surprised to see Linko coming, "I...... I salute you!" he said, filling his cup with a full drink!

Lin Ke also drank it all and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "It's not a crime to be used by others when you're young, and you can be sad when you're old, four cousins, Cohen has forgotten the past, but he is always on the way forward, cousin, don't be left too far behind!"

Vic was shocked, and said in vain, "Don't disappoint cousin Cohen, next year, when you come back next year, I will definitely let you see a different Vic! Cousin Mento can, I'll definitely be able to do Vic!"

Lin Ke was surprised in his heart, this image that always cringed in his heart became a little different at this moment, "Where are the descendants of the Mutes family who can't do it?! Cousin Vic, never give up!"

"Hmm!"

By the time the brothers and sisters turned around, Lin Ke was already a little drunk, he was really not a person who could play tricks, and sometimes the oily tone was just a performance.

But Hubert and Mento came together, probably meaning to find him to pay respects to the elders, Lin Ke had no choice but to quickly stuff something into his mouth and follow the two of them.

In a trance, he only roughly knew that Hubert and Mento had said some words of blessing with some restraint, and the elders also followed suit, and when it was his turn, he was a little dizzy, and only vaguely remembered that he said something about the elders, and after a loud laugh, the two sides drank a glass of wine, and then they didn't know anything.

This is the most restful sleep he has ever slept in since he came to this world, he doesn't have to think about anything, he doesn't have to worry about anything, he doesn't even have a dream, he opens his eyes and is relaxed.

"Young Master, are you awake?!" a somewhat familiar and somewhat unfamiliar girl's voice came from beside her, "The patriarch and the lady are both in the courtyard." ”

"Oh," Lin Ke rubbed his eyes and stretched before he reacted, "Ellie?!I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've become a big girl!"

The girl was the little maid Elle who first appeared in his sight when Lin Ke crossed over, in fact, for Cohen, this girl was the person who stayed with him the longest, the girl was a little surprised and a little restrained, "Master Cohen still remembers me!"

"Of course I remember!" Lin Ke got up and washed up briefly and then rubbed her beautiful chestnut hair and said, "You are the person who has been with me for the longest time, if it weren't for my mother who had to go to you, I wouldn't be reluctant, how was this year?"

"Madame treats me very well, and I have learned a lot by her side, and it is Ellie's blessing to be able to follow the young master and Madame," the girl smiled.

"Grown up," Lin Ke suddenly sighed, "I finally look like an adult, go, go out and sit." ”
