Lin Ke walked towards the black boy, Rhine frowned slightly but did not stop, he walked all the way to the place where the black boy could reach like Rhine did with the bear man, which made the latter's eyes flicker, but in the end he did not choose to make a move.

"Look," Lin Ke also stared at the black boy's eyes expressionlessly, "you have at least told me with your actions that in your heart that the life of that person is more important than revenge, and I know that orcs are very vindictive." ”

The black boy glared at Lin Ke fiercely and twisted his head in other directions, he didn't want to see him again.

Lin Ke was unwavering, "Before that, in fact, just a few days ago, I had accepted a very formal oath of allegiance from a Terran girl, and she used a drop of her blood to win the trust of the entire family, and I think what Grandpa wants you to do is not much different from that." ”

The black boy turned his head sharply and glared at Lin Ke, his lips moved but he didn't speak, he glanced at Rhine, who was standing not far behind Lin Ke, and turned his head away again.

Lin Ke turned his head to look at Rhine with some doubts, and Rhine also explained with a blank face, "The life and death of the servant who signed the soul contract depends on the master's thoughts, and Lilith's blood oath is only related to strength and will not determine life and death." ”

Lin Ke nodded and stood up, came to the side where the black boy turned his head and stood still, "Then this soul contract is a big gamble!

The black boy stared at Lin Ke with disdain, the old-fashioned agitation, but this time he didn't turn his head away.

"If you win the bet, your life belongs to me, but the life of the bear man belongs to you, and if you lose the bet, you can still commit suicide or choose to kill me to take your life, the bear man is the same as now, we choose what to do with him, isn't that?"

"His life is mine," the black boy didn't even look at Linko, but turned his gaze directly to Rhine behind him.

Rhine nodded, "The lives of you and that bear man are not as important to me as a hair of his, if you become his loyal servant, I can release that bear man and even provide a certain degree of protection, so that he can live well, I think it should still be of great significance to the two of you to live." ”

"How do you make me believe you?" the black boy looked at Linko.

"You won't believe me no matter what I promise," Linko shook his head, "You can only bet your life on me to try to choose to believe me, bet that I have an important position in the family, and really need a brother who is truly for me, not a discarded son or a useless servant who only promises." ”

The black boy stood up slowly, and after the distance was closer, Lin Ke realized that this guy was more than a head taller than himself who was 1.8 meters taller.

The black boy looked down at Lin Ke motionlessly, his figure was still rising, and at the same time, the whole head was changing violently as if flowing water, his neck grew, his snout was prominent, his face began to grow dark fluff, and the bottom of his eyes gradually showed a golden background, when everything stopped, a fierce black panther head was no more than ten centimeters away from Lin Ke's face, and the latter did not shake even an inch even if he was shocked to the limit in his heart!

The leopard man finally took a deep look at Lin Ke and slowly closed his eyes, straightened up and was more than two meters five tall, Lin Ke was like a child who had not grown up in front of him, and it was not until he straightened up that Lin Ke saw that the clothes he was wearing had long been broken by the suddenly swollen body, and the muscles with explosive power showed a perfect streamlined proportion!

It is extremely oppressive.

Lin Ke couldn't help but be a little frightened, and there seemed to be a magic power around him.

The black boy raised his right arm and stretched out a finger, the long sharp nails of his fingertips were like a sharp blade gently slashing across his forehead, and blood suddenly gushed out, but he slowly lowered his head as if he didn't feel it, and gently touched the blood-stained forehead on Lin Ke's forehead!

Lin Ke closed his eyes but only felt a loud "boom" in his head, a voice that was obviously unfamiliar but had a strange sense of familiarity sounded in his mind in a strange language, he obviously didn't understand but understood its meaning, "The great beast god is above, under the witness of your boundless power, your faithful servant Neil Pansa is determined to be loyal to the creature in front of him, with his will as his will, with his glory as glory, with no regrets, life and death depend on each other, Besdan......" As the voice gradually continued to chant "Besdan" Under the blessing of the gradual subduation, Lin Ke obviously sensed a little more ink in his soul, he could sense its fear, he could understand its mind.

He began to soothe it, which made it noticeably calmer.

Opening his eyes, Lin Ke saw that the leopard man was prostrate in front of him like a huge piece of black fine iron, revealing a sense of obedience, and his right hand was gently placed on his shoulder at some point, as if to appease.

"Get up, Neil," Lin Ke said as soon as the latter nodded knowingly and slowly stood up, this feeling of heart-to-heart connection was extremely mysterious.

"I think we should go and see him," Linko smiled at Neil the Leopard Man and turned to face Rhine, "Grandpa, is it okay?" ”

"Of course, they're all yours," Rhein smiled and nodded at the Leopard Man, "I'm sure you'll be proud of your choice one day, Neil, and welcome you to be a part of the Mutes family, and from now on, we'll share the glory and disgrace." ”

The leopard man did not have the slightest of his previous hostility, and bowed his head respectfully.

Rhine turned away.

After seeing Cher and Lilith again, Lin Ke has been followed by the black boy who had a relationship with Cher all the time, and he has changed back to his human form, just like Lin Ke's shadow and like the most loyal guard.

In order to show her closeness to Linko, Cher had to walk next to him on Linko's left, while Lilith naturally walked to the other side.

From a distance, it's an interesting combination.

Three days later, Lin Ke and his party set off in a very low-key manner.

All the way to the north, target a small mountain range along the coast northwest of Windy City, Arashiyama.

This section of the road was not too difficult to walk, there was a large road leading there, and there were some small villages and towns along the way, so supplies were not a problem, but Serena still prepared enough food and tents and other necessities for the whole party, so the team became a bit large.

Lin Ke did not take the carriage, he chose to ride a tall horse with a large group of guards, I have to say, because the land where the God of War Empire is located has two large rivers flowing, and the terrain is mostly gentle, the fertile land and rich grassland resources make the empire never worry about the source of war horses, and horses have also become the most common means of transportation in the empire, that is, the best war horses, and there is still a large surplus flowing into the people after giving priority to meeting the needs of the army.

The God of War Empire has the most powerful cavalry army on the continent, and even the children of commoner families in the empire that advocate force will always have the opportunity to play on horseback, let alone in aristocratic circles.

But Linko can't ride a horse, and so is Cohen...... For the little boy who closed himself in the cultivation circle all day, he really didn't care about and was interested in much, no wonder Serena was worried that he was too withdrawn, and he could only release himself in front of a limited number of people.

This "secret", which only a few people in the entire family mansion know, gave Lin Ke an absolutely miserable start to his journey.

The problem began in the stables of the Mutes family.

On the day of departure, the eldest young master Cohen put on a light knight's leather armor that is more common in the army early in the morning, put on gloves, put on the riding boots that are customary in the army, and even symbolically hung a decorative sword on his waist, and came to the stable to choose a horse with great interest, and the servants who kept the horses had received a notice a day before: "Choose a good horse with a docile temperament for Young Master Cohen." ”

So what was brought to Cohen was a sturdy and tall pure black war horse, with big and agile eyes, two pointed and flexible ears, a straight back and waist, and strong limbs, standing there quietly, even a person like Lin Ke who didn't understand horses at all, knew that it would never be an inferior horse the moment he saw it, which made him a little excited.

But with Neil's help, Linko, who had been on horseback for the first time in his life, had not been in it for a few minutes, and before he could even ride his horse out of the range of the stable, he fell headlong and fell into a daze.

The servants who kept the horses were shocked when they saw him fall, and rushed forward to help Linko, who was lifted up by Neil, to beat the dust, and then raised their whips to beat the horses, but Linko stopped them.

He knew that it was not the reason for the horse, it was that he thought too simply, but he still ignored the dissuasion of the guards and climbed on the back of the horse again, this time the guards and servants already understood that this young master Cohen, who has amazing cultivation talent, probably really can't ride a horse, and no longer dares to let him ride alone。

Only then did he know that riding a horse is not driving, and it is not like what he played on TV in his previous life, and anyone can easily control it as soon as he rides it.

Horseback riding is a skill, he told himself, it is a basic lesson that must be mastered in this world, and men who cannot ride horses in the Empire of the God of War are as rare as heretics in the Empire of Light.

He began to humbly ask the guards around him and even the servants who raised horses for the experience of horses, and even asked the servants how to communicate with the horses, after a busy day, the sun had risen high, and the impatient Miss Daisy, who had been waiting for a long time, directly found the stable to pinch her nose and complain, Lin Ke had to reluctantly get on the horse again, Neil was on the left and the other guard was on the right, and he was riding on the road while learning and understanding under the support of both sides.

But even so, he had to stop and rest every time he walked, and after a few times Miss Daisy finally couldn't take it anymore, and she ran out of the carriage and ran to Linko's side, despite Cher and Lilith's resistance.

"Brother Cohen, this is the third time in half a day that you have asked the team to stop and rest, and lo and behold, we can almost still see the shadow of the walls of Windy City from a distance, if we are like this, when will we reach Arashiyama," Daisy pouted and waved her hands to complain, the pink bow on her head couldn't help jumping, but she was suddenly surprised to find Lin Ke sitting on the ground with grinning teeth, "What's wrong with you?

"It's nothing, probably because the saddle is a little hard," Lin Ke felt that the skin on his inner thighs had been worn out, and it hurt fiercely when he touched it, "Lanshan is only seventy or eighty kilometers away from Windy City, and we could have arrived in a day by hurry, but we set off late today, plus my oil bottle, I will probably find a small town to spend the night halfway, and I will discuss it with Uncle Brooke later, and he will choose a suitable place for us to rest." ”

Brooke mentioned by Linko was the leader of the fifty guards on this trip, and he was a powerful fighter whose strength had reached the second order of great strength, and he was the strongest except for the Seven Elders Eller who traveled with Linko, and he was also responsible for a series of trivial matters such as the march of the team and the encampment.

He was the captain of the guard of the Mutes family, and he was an old deployment who followed Rhine to retire from the army, but he didn't expect that Rhine would still send him to follow the team even when he arranged for the Seven Elders to accompany him, and almost half of the fifty guard knights who accompanied the team were veterans who retired from the battlefield back then, and the rest were all elite guards of the new generation, which made the escort strength of the entire hunting team suddenly reach the point of luxury.

Daisy heard some other meanings, a pair of big eyes looked at Lin Ke and then at the big black horse who was leisurely leaning over to graze not far away, and suddenly laughed.

"It turns out that my brother can't ride a horse!"
