Chapter 62: Night Raid Farce
Linko stood on the roof of the ship and looked at the night sky.
It's an open world, and the degree of freedom enjoyed by nobles and even commoners is staggering.
This is another extremely closed world, and it is desperately difficult for cultivators to find a way out.
Not to mention the civilian class, even if it is an aristocratic family, a little "cheats" of each family are hidden like hidden treasures, and even this raid copied the old nest of the Fili family, and the cultivation books and materials obtained are pitiful, and some really important combat skills and magic skills are probably passed on by the master and apprentice father and son from generation to generation.
The civilians are even more miserable, it is a very luxurious thing to obtain some basic skills and even cultivation methods books of the Xiong Power Realm, and if they want to get ahead by their own strength, in addition to joining a noble family as a slave and servant, they can only go to the battlefield of life and death.
It is really sighing to keep the door like this, and to inherit the mode like this.
From the past to the present, who can know how many secret techniques have been lost and how many peerless studies have been cut off?
This is not just a problem of the nobility and commoner circles, even if it is a place like the God of War Academy that cultivates the future and hope for the empire, the "book tower" that is regarded as a holy place by all the cultivators of the God of War Empire, there is basically no one who is really qualified to borrow at will, if you want to read, you can, you can exchange a large number of military merits or college grades during the school period!
Rumor has it that the children of the royal family are the same!
Its stinginess made Lin Ke speechless.
Thinking of this, he could understand the sourness in his heart when a master like Brooke and even Eller obviously had a lot of energy, but they could only use it simply and rudely in battle on weekdays.
In order to achieve the level of magic skills that you imagined to be as dashing as you imagined, with a wave of your hand, in addition to your strong cultivation strength, it is equally difficult to obtain enough magic skill books.
The hatch opens, and Cher steps out.
"Young master, go back to the cabin and rest, it's too cold on the river at night, it's been two days of walking, you go to sleep again, and when you wake up, you should go to Liucheng," Xue'er's voice is always crisp and pleasant, which makes people listen to it very comfortably.
Lin Ke shook his head and smiled at her, "Maybe it's because I'm away from home, maybe it's because the ship is still rickety after all, I can't sleep well in this cabin, it's better to blow the wind here and think about the problem." β
"What do you want?" asked Cher.
"Think about some cultivation problems," Lin Ke looked at the stars in the sky again, not knowing which one belonged to the earth, "I also think about what Liucheng will be like after seeing my grandfather, and I will also fantasize about the future life of the academy, thinking about everything." β
Xue'er smiled and said, "What kind of cultivation are you thinking about, you're starting to think about college life, I'm still thinking about whether I can get in, it's really annoying," she said after a deep sigh, "I actually met your grandfather once, and he was already a little older at that time, so I still have some impressions." β
"Oh?" Lin Ke was interested, Cohen's memory of the concept of grandfather was a little hazy, thinking that he was still very young when we last met, "What kind of person is my grandfather?"
"Hmm...... Lord Wood is not as tall as the Rhine Patriarch and Lord Jason, he looks as amiable as an ordinary person without threat, he is very warm, he will not despise me because I was picked up by my wife, but he is very good to me, the kindest elder I have ever met and I feel the warmest," Cher's words carried a strong respect, which made Lin Ke's heart feel a little more reassured.
At least not a very difficult weird old man.
"So what is the situation of the Qingfeng family, can you know a little bit, or what did your mother tell you before?" Lin Ke continued.
Xue'er glanced at him and said, "How can I know what the situation of the Qingfeng family is, although Madame is very good to me, she will not tell me about the affairs of their family, even if she wants to talk about it, she should tell you about it." β
Lin Ke smiled wryly, thinking that my real son is sometimes not as good as you, a fake girl.
"Well, I actually know a little bit that Lord Wood only has two daughters, that is, Madame and Madame's sister Madame RΓΆntgen, and there are no sons to inherit the family business, and Lord Wood's brothers seem to have left three sons, and now the Qingfeng family has not been able to determine an heir, probably this is what Madame is talking about," Cher said hesitantly, after all, it was not appropriate to discuss the affairs of Serena's family in her capacity.
Lin Ke didn't care, just nodded thoughtfully.
Grandpa has no children, judging from Lin Ke's character in listening to Serena's narration, although he still has a life span of more than 100 years, he is probably unwilling to be chained by the family in Liucheng for a lifetime, and although the two daughters are very good, whether it is Serena, who focuses on the Mutes family, or Roentgen, who yearns for a simple and comfortable life, is not a character who is willing to compete for the position of patriarch, so the contradiction is ten like**Like Cher's analysis, it comes from the pursuit of power by three men.
"Huh?!" Xue'er's soft cry interrupted Lin Ke's musings, "Someone has fallen into the water on the shore!"
"What??," Lin Ke asked with a slight frown, "Are you sure someone fell into the water on this big night?"
Xue'er nodded suspiciously, and said a little hurriedly, "It's overboard, he looks like he should be able to swim, he looks a little weak, and he's swimming towards the boat, but it's too far, if we don't save him, he'll definitely be exhausted and washed away by the river halfway!"
Lin Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Save people." β
As soon as the leader moved his mouth, his subordinates broke their legs, and in short, Lin Ke didn't do anything.
When he was busy for a long time to rescue people, the rescued young man fainted before he could say thank you, Lin Ke was a little depressed, and after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that this depressed familiarity came from the TV series he watched in his previous life.
Some of the experienced members of the caravan judged the young man's condition, gave him some mild decoction, and added ginger soup and massage, and finally woke him up.
"Thank you," the young man glanced at the people in the cabin in a daze, and said gratefully after finding the core person Lin Ke from the crowd, "Thanks to you, otherwise my life would have been explained here!"
"It's just the right time, it's not enough to raise your hands," Lin Ke asked after a moment of politeness, "How do you feel?" I see that you have some external injuries, is someone chasing you?"
The young man stroked his injured arm and said, "Probably some enemies of the family killed me while I was alone, thanks to the care of you and your subordinates, I feel much better now, and I will be grateful when I return to the family!"
Lin Ke smiled and shook his head and said, "You're welcome, you can rest first." β
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"Young Master, his words are obviously reserved, how could the revenge of the so-called family enemy make him escape to the river with a slight injury?" Xue'er walked up to Lin Ke's side and reminded in a low voice.
"False," Lily said unceremoniously.
Lin Ke smiled and glanced at Xue'er and Lilith and said, "Sometimes other people's lies can have many meanings, some things are not mixed in a relationship like ours, but it is a good thing, too much curiosity will waste the kindness of others, and it will also make a clear good thing become a bad thing, why bother?"
Cher nodded thoughtfully, but Lilith pursed her lips slightly.
"Don't go to the top of the boat and spend the night in peace," Neil advised, who had rarely spoken since following Linko.
"Are you saying there is a possibility of an attack tonight?" Lin Ke said with a few rubs of his right index finger on his smooth and bearded chin, "Well, you can't plant it in front of the finish line and put everyone on guard, even a false alarm is better than being attacked unprepared." β
"It's easiest to throw him back into the water," Lilith said coldly.
"I'm afraid it's too late to throw it back now," Lin Ke smiled and patted Lilith on the shoulder, "It's okay if you don't see it, since you watch it, you can't watch him die, right?"
Cher pouted, a little unhappy but didn't open her mouth to refute.
"Toot toot!"
Sirens blaring!
Several people glanced at each other and rushed to the deck!
It's really a mess!
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"Seventh Grandpa!" said Linko as he came to Eyler, who was standing calmly on the deck, "How's it going?"
Eller snorted disdainfully, "A couple of little idiots and a big idiot. β
Lin Ke looked at all the two-petaled corpses not far in front of Eller speechlessly, and he couldn't recognize the original appearance for a long time.
He felt a little nauseous.
"Save a young man?" Eller asked.
Lin Ke nodded and said, "If you were slightly injured and fell into the water, you swam to the merchant ship to survive, and you can save him, and let him go when you get to Liucheng." β
Eller nodded and looked at the dark river and said, "Don't get too involved in those messy things, we're just passers-by." β
Lin Ke nodded obediently.
Leo, the leader of the sixteen guards of Lin Ke, walked over, and smashed his right fist on the armor on his left chest and made a "dang" sound, "Hello Elder, young master, the assassins who attacked the ship have been cleared, most of them are low-level assassins with bear power, and the only one of the powerhouses of the Great Power Realm has been killed by the Elder, and none of them are alive!"
Lin Ke nodded after returning the salute and said, "Let the servants in the caravan clean up the deck, and I will strengthen the vigilance with everyone tonight and tell everyone that you have worked hard!"
Leo had a typical military temperament, and after saluting with his heels, he turned and left neatly, and soon everything on the merchant ship was in order.
"This Leo is a good talent," Eller said.
"Yes, he followed his grandfather to Windy City, and now he has followed me," Lin Ke said solemnly, "The Mutes family owes them a lot, but I don't want to owe them too long, I will always find my own happiness for them one by one!"
"Very well," Eller whispered, turning to leave.
Only Lynco, Cher, Lilith, and Neil were left standing motionless on the bow of the ship, like four stone pillars, so that the caravan that had just been frightened by the attack gradually calmed down.
Every time the busy people turn their eyes to the backs of the four people in the bow of the boat, they have to unconsciously bring a trace of respect!
