The Mutes family, the bedroom of the Rhine.

The three of them sat across the table, Serena was obviously a little absent-minded, she just stared at Lin Ke like that, she couldn't get enough of it.

Rhine noticed Serena's state, the guilt in his heart became more profound, he suppressed some complicated emotions, and looked at the table in front of him that was lined with eight spatial rings in front of Lin Ke and said a little calmly, "You said that you were rescued by a powerful person and kidnapped to an empty island, where you accepted his favor and brought back a lot of treasures and so many spatial rings?!"

"Yes, it was a bald man who claimed to be the Pope of the Dark Church," Aside from the mysterious heritage and the black stones, Rinko didn't intend to hide much from these two people.

Rhine's expression suddenly changed, he walked around the bedroom, opened the door, instructed the guards outside, and then turned back to open a secret door in the bedroom, took Serena and Linko to an underground secret room, and opened some protective magic circles before saying, "You have to forget about the dark church, never mention it to anyone, I don't care what kind of mission that bald man gave you, forget it for me! Don't try to have even the slightest relationship with the dark church!"

Lin Ke looked at Rhine's unprecedented nervousness and nodded thoughtfully to show that he understood.

"What are you going to do with these spatial rings and the contents inside?" Rhein stared at Lin Ke until he nodded sincerely, and then continued to ask, he didn't care about the inconspicuous ring on Lin Ke's right middle finger.

"These rings are full of weapons and potion scrolls and other things, since they can be placed in the treasure house there, I think it's still good, it's not much use for me, I'm going to leave it all to you to deal with, but you just said that you don't have anything to do with the Dark Church, so it's necessary to disguise them, and the ring I gave to Lilith also has some of the same things in it, and I'll let her hand it over to you later, as for the rings themselves......" Lin Ke paused for a moment, obviously seeing Rhine's eyebrows jump involuntarily, "I only thought of giving one to Mom, Cher, and Neil, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

Rhine smiled and nodded, the old man was relieved, but then his face sank again, "Serena has already told you what happened later, Lao Qi and Xue'er returned with minor injuries This is the only thing to be happy about, the guards came back scattered less than a third of what they set off, as for Brooke......"

Lin Ke was immediately silent, even though Serena had already told him these things on the way before, and it was still difficult to calm down when he heard Rhine talk about it again, "It's the Fili family." ”

"Sure enough, it's them?!" Rhine was furious.

"At the end of the day, I saw Locke's face, and that idiot had removed his Fighting Armor, probably thinking that a little person like me was certain to die in his hands," Lin Ke sneered.

Rhine clenched his fists, but he calmed down all of a sudden, he frowned and thought quietly, neither Serena nor Linko bothered.

This decision may involve the survival and continuation of the family.

This is a difficult time for the Mutes family.

After a long time, Rhine seemed to have made up his mind, and his eyebrows were fiercely raised, revealing an expression that Lin Ke had never seen but suddenly felt a clear chill and killing intent, "Some people want to see if the Mutes family is qualified to become the seventh largest family in Windy City, want to see if the sword of the Mutes family is sharp, and want to see if we have no successors, then, let's show them!"

――――――――――――――――――――

Linko and Rhine sat across from each other.

This was the first time that Linko, who had read Cohen's memory, had boarded the carriage of the head of the family, Rhine.

The carriage was not very spacious, and there was no special decoration and configuration, compared to Lin Ke's own car, it was really shabby to the extreme.

"What's the matter? It's strange why Grandpa sits in such a broken color?" Rhine asked Lin Ke with a smile.

Lin Ke nodded and said without hesitation, "This old goods should soon become antiques and be placed in the memorial hall for people to see." ”

"Hahaha," Rhine smiled happily and said helplessly, This is probably the sorrow of a person like my grandfather, who has lived in a poor family since he was a child, worked hard in the army for decades, and when he returned to his hometown, he found that he was a little frightened sitting in a luxurious carriage, hehe, the endless human head tower and the hideous and terrifying dragon never made me so frightened, until that time I found out that I was still a commoner after all, and I couldn't enjoy the life that a nobleman should have, as if only coarse tea and light rice could make me eat enough, and only bamboo chairs and wooden couches could make me sleep fragrantly," He shook his head and laughed at himself, "I have to tell everyone I know that it is funny that riding in such a carriage can inspire me not to forget my roots, but also to earn some fame and reputation." ”

Lin Ke nodded gently, he knew that Rhine would not think about it, he really understood that feeling.

When he owned a car of his own for the first time in his previous life, the feeling of nervousness and excitement trembling was something that ordinary people would never be able to experience.

Awe.

At night, the Windy City is rarely walked around.

There are only occasional patrols that cross a few main streets.

After seeing the iconic carriage of the Rhine and the conspicuous family logo on the carriage, several soldiers who wanted to come forward for interrogation immediately stopped saluting and saluted to see the carriage off.

Lin Ke in the carriage didn't know anything about what was happening outside, he just told Rhine about his experience these days in detail again, and the latter listened with relish, especially the part where Lin Ke and Lilith rescued Roentgen's mother and daughter on the isolated island, which made him smile with relief.

"It is not easy to follow the trend, dare to take risks, and be able to take risks, it is not easy to achieve this level in such a critical situation, especially when there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us, the conspiracy is often more useful," Rhine smiled and nodded and said, But the key to the conspiracy is to hide its own intentions well, if it weren't for the cursed land that made the three evils preconceived that there would be no other creatures and let down their guard, if it weren't for the fact that the three evildoers each had a great sense of guarding against each other, even if any one of them had a little trust in the others, your plan might go wrong, and I don't say this to deny your approach, but to tell you that people will encounter a thousand situations in their lifetime, like this one' There are very few situations where the conspirators are blessed, and there are many times when the conspiracy is more thorough, and this time my Mutes family is going to do a conspiracy and a conspiracy, Cohen my grandson, I hope you can get something. ”

Lin Ke nodded and asked, "Which one are we going to?"

Rhine nodded with satisfaction, "Bit family." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The head of the Mutes family visits the Bit family late at night.

The Bit family opened the door to greet them.

It instantly touched the minds of many people.

In the quiet of the night, the undercurrent is surging.

In the main hall of the Bit family's hospitality, an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin full of age spots sat in the center of the top, two old men who were also old sat on the left, and the one in the lower seat was the representative of the Bit family. Rhine sat alone in the guest seat on the right, and Lin Ke was also brought in, but he could only stand obediently behind Rhine, and the seat was not to be thought about.

"Patriarch Rhine came to visit late at night, do you think there is something very important to say?" The first person to speak was not the old man sitting in the center, but the old man who looked slightly younger on the main seat, he first glanced at the old man sitting next to him in the lower position, and saw the latter nod lightly before he looked deeply at Lin Ke again and said to Rhineland.

"Excuse me, Elder Rodney has already recognized that standing behind me is Cohen Mutters, who was intercepted and disappeared some time ago, my grandson, he saw the face of the murderer who drove the beast tide to attack my family's territory and then besieged my Mutes family's children, Patriarch Robert, when Rhine visited your family today, he actually had the cheekiness to ask the Bit family to come forward to uphold justice," Rhine said with a sad face.

The old people of the Bit family did not rush to speak, but silently bowed their heads and pondered for a moment, like those ordinary old people who were mentally weak.

Rhine was not in a hurry, as if he had expected it, he waited quietly for tea.

"Patriarch Rhine is also from the army," the old man known as Patriarch Robert said slowly, "The Bit family should have given some support, not to mention that the Patriarch of Rhine is also in a high position in the military of Windy City, and he is appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, but I don't know how far the Mutes family intends to go?"

"Naturally, it is a way not to fall into the majesty of the Seven Great Families," Rhine said with a smile, completely without the aggrieved look on his face before, "Although some people provoke the glory of the Mutes family this time, they also hurt the reputation of the Seven Families, which the Mutes family cannot tolerate," he glanced at Robert meaningfully, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said slowly, "Some ignorant declining families, what should be beaten should be beaten, and what should disappear should also disappear." ”

The scene fell silent again.

"Patriarch Rhine should know that it is not the business of the Bit family to let a small noble family completely disappear," Old Man Robert glanced up at Lin Ke and then looked at Rhine, "unless those adults in the province are interested in helping the Mutes family." ”

Rhine slowly said with a serious expression, "After all, the Mutes family is still young, and they need the guidance of a noble family like Bit, which has a long tradition, but one thing I can still be sure of is that I, Rhine, am a soldier, and now my only son is also a soldier, and in the future," Rhine paused and said with great certainty, "My most outstanding grandson will also enter the army, and the Mutes family is a military family and needs to follow in the footsteps of the army." ”

Patriarch Robert smiled and nodded in expression of his kindness, "I think a noble and powerful family like Salas is enough to pronounce a sentence for the family that offends the glory of the Muts family, and the Bit family is willing to work with the Mutes family to judge those imperial rebels who collude with the dragons." ”

Rhine smiled and nodded to Patriarch Robert in thanks, "Tomorrow is a meeting between Cohen and the genius of your family, Fias, I will go there to watch the ceremony, tomorrow is a good day." ”

Patriarch Robert hesitated a little, "The time is a bit rushed, we need some time to deliver the news to the Salas family. ”

"No, tomorrow is indeed a good day," the old man who sat in the center as if he was about to die suddenly spoke, and Patriarch Robert immediately agreed.

From beginning to end, no one mentions the term that should have been mentioned a long time ago.

Filet Family.
