Chapter 14 Civilians are like goods
Some of the little girls who were nervous still didn't step down.
Lin Ke knew that she was waiting for the nobles to announce that she had been qualified to go to the imperial capital to take the entrance exams to the Imperial Academy.
With her strength, she does have this qualification, there is no dispute.
No civilian can know whether the place is a card or a document, because no civilian has ever received this honor.
It was a year of miracles.
The aristocrats talked a lot, but no one came out first to express their position, which was beyond their expectations.
Soon, information on the little girl was sent to the representatives of the major families, some of which she had filled out herself when she participated in the competition, and some of which had been collected by the families after a prior survey of the various civilian participants.
The second elder quickly read the information at hand and handed it to Lin Ke behind him, Lin Ke was slightly stunned and then naturally took it.
The girl's name is Lilith Mona, born in the downtown area of the West City, her parents died one after another when she was six years old, she became an orphan, she survived with the help of a few kind neighbors, she is seventeen years old, but perhaps because she is too petite, she looks even younger, she has a younger brother, who is now ten years old.
The information is very detailed, and Lin Ke can imagine just looking at these fluttering words, how difficult and difficult it is for an eight-year-old girl to survive with her one-year-old brother in the civilian area of Xicheng that can make Elle feel desperate, and how much suffering she has endured as a young child?
"I think we should give Lilith what she deserves," the Morgan representative of the Seven Families took the lead in throwing an olive branch, a large family that has been inherited in the Windy City for a long time, and its depth of strength is almost as strong as that of Gaia and Bit, "Lilith Monna, who has won her glory in full view with her extraordinary talent. ”
"Dear Elder Morgan, I don't mean to offend, but for a long time the places to take the entrance examination for the Imperial College have always belonged to the nobility, and Lilith's talent is undoubted, but there is some controversy about her identity, and I think that at this time, she should make a holy pact with a glorious image to join a family with a noble surname like Morgan, and become a noble noble servant, so that her last obstacle will be removed. "It was the other representative of the Seven Great Families Gao Yadi Family, and those who had the strength to contact the upper echelons of the Windy City aristocratic circle knew that they were the best followers of the Morgan family's will, and at this moment, the only fate that little girl Lilith could choose to choose was there.
Cole of the Gaia family and the old man of the Bit family did not speak in tacit agreement, and it seemed that they did not want to speak. A Xiong Li fourth-order professional from a civilian background was dispensable to them, and there were too many bumps and accidents on the path of cultivation, who could know how many geniuses stopped halfway, and how many were killed at the starting moment before they could bloom?
Lin Ke didn't pay much attention to the dirty means of operation among the nobles, just quietly looked at the lonely figure, she had a long black straight hair that made Cohen feel extremely kind, neatly trimmed, the same black eyes were as black as ink, the petite and weak body stood there quietly, the beautiful big eyes exuded a sad atmosphere, which was incompatible with the current field, which made him feel a soft place in his heart was touched instantly, and his heart was painful.
"I think she really needs a noble family as a motivation to move on, a place that can protect her and give her a future, but obviously she is not suitable for the smell of copper, look, she is heroic, I think she must be willing to go to the army to experience what murderous spirit is," the representative of the Trupps family, who has the second largest person in the military world of Windy City, obviously has the confidence to fight against the Morgan family, he stared at the representative of the Morgan family, and did not look at the so-called heroic little girl at all," The army would be her best home. ”
"I'm sorry, but I have to point out that your understanding of business is too superficial, and it is not a wise choice for her to be able to make the most of her talents in this vast field, and to go to the army to kill people and behead people," the Morgan family representative fought back, not to be outdone.
"As a professional who pursues the ultimate in strength, he can only be better tempered in the army, and only between life and death can he understand the true meaning of strength, as a member of the Empire of the God of War, do you want to deny this?"
"How do you know that she's really in pursuit of the ultimate in power and not in the pursuit of wealth?" said the Morgan representative's face full of mockery.
"Then why not let her make a choice for herself?" said Lin Ke suddenly, causing everyone to look at him in surprise.
"Nonsense!" the second elder changed color, "When will it be your turn to speak?!"
Cole, who was sitting not far from the second elder, was also stunned, and then took a deep look at Lin Ke and laughed, "Isn't it that our young master Cohen of the Mutes family has taken a fancy to this beautiful little girl?" An eighteen-year-old fourth-order fighter is worthy of being a maid for my Cohen nephew, and if you are interested, tell Uncle Cole that your poor father is still in the army, and I am happy to call the shots for you. ”
After the second elder glanced at Cole in surprise, he found that several other representatives of the family were also puzzled to look at the middle-aged man who rarely showed cynical demeanor, "Lord Cole smiled, the child doesn't understand the rules, and the eldest brother of the family must punish him severely, otherwise it will break the rules if it goes on like this." ”
"Where," the old man of the Bit family actually spoke, he glanced at Cole seemingly unintentionally, and then glanced at Lin Kedao, who was standing there looking at Cole with a little shyness and gratitude, "We old guys shouldn't care about the affairs between the children, we can only give them some support." ”
The audience was stunned.
Lin Ke was even more "shy".
The atmosphere on the high platform was a little eerie.
A dispensable conflict of interest was finally messed up by a milky little hairy child, which is really unheard of.
But that's just the way it happened.
"Hahaha, it's my guy who finally realized it, so I'll give it to the little nephew of Cohen of the Mutes family, otherwise the Patriarch of the Rhine family will blame me for being ignorant," After a dull atmosphere, the representative of the Morgan family took the lead in speaking, and with one mouth, the beneficiary was detained on Cohen's head, and the Mutes family had to accept this favor.
Sometimes it is difficult to repay the favor between the families, Lin Ke sighed silently in his heart, he knew that he must have suffered after returning home, and respectfully saluted the Morgan family representative while hiding the bitterness in his heart.
The representative of the Trupps family glanced at the representatives of the Bit and Gaia families, and spoke after the representatives of the Morgan family, his expression was a little complicated, "It is indeed better for children to decide things by themselves. ”
Lin Ke hurriedly bowed to the representative of the Trups family again.
The second elder still had an old face, looking extremely dissatisfied with Lin Ke, which made Lin Ke feel a little unsure, and also made the group of old foxes next to him secretly laugh.
"Then it's a little difficult," Locke of the Fili family said abruptly again, "Young Master Cohen's maid's handmaiden is so talented that she has taken up one place, so the three young people of Xiong Li's third order, including Young Master Cohen, can't share the remaining two places, right?"
The second elder couldn't help but glance at Locke with annoyance, glared back at Lin Ke fiercely, and then secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, Cohen should let him go." ”
"That's a bit of a grievance for Young Master Cohen, but if you want to come to the Mutes family, there is no shortage of places, and it is natural to enter the God of War Academy with Young Master Cohen's talent," Locke's regretful expression made Lin Ke feel disgusted.
"I think it's a good idea to let the three little guys fight each other," Cole's reopening still touched the minds of many people, but he himself didn't care, staring at Lin Ke and continuing to speak, "Since we want to select young and handsome people, I dare to let Cohen's nephew give up his seat, I'm afraid it will leave a mustard in the hearts of the other two future stars of Windy City, but it is a big and generous battle, the winner goes to the imperial capital to fight, and the loser calms down and works harder, which is also a good story." ”
The representative of the Morgan family looked at Cole vaguely and then at the second elder of the Mutes family, and smiled, "It's indeed fairer to fight in the last battle." ”
Before the old man of the Bit family could speak, the boy with long fiery red hair standing behind him couldn't hold back and said, "It's more enjoyable to fight the last battle!"
The old man of the Bit family couldn't help but sigh, "Fias, do you miss the family's confinement room?" The red-haired boy was stunned before he spoke again, "Then the battle will be settled." ”
It wasn't until this moment that the second elder seemed to sigh and echoed, "Just listen to the two of you, let's fight!"
Locke looked angry and speechless.
――――――――――――――――――――
The people in the square had already dispersed.
It was only after half a day that the three third-order geniuses of Xiong Li agreed to fight a month later and the matter of the remaining two places slowly spread throughout the city, which made the civilians very happy, and a month later, another good show was staged.
At this moment, Lin Ke was kneeling upright in a spacious carriage, bowing his head and looking like he was beating and scolding, and the second elder Sandy was leaning leisurely on the soft cushion on the main seat opposite him, and he didn't see the angry appearance on the high platform at all.
"How about it, what did you gain from this trouble?" The second elder asked plainly, but Lin Ke's heart was tight, he saw from Cohen's memory that the deepest impression of the second elder was fear, so naturally there was a certain reason.
"Back to the second grandfather's words, judging from the situation on the high platform, the seven families of Windy City are not monolithic, and the interests are very complicated," Lin Ke glanced at Sandy carefully, and only after seeing that the latter did not mean a little annoyed before he settled down, "The Gao Yadi family seems to be looking at the Morgan family, the Trupps family needs to see the face of the Bit family, and the Bit family is very jealous of the existence of the Gaia family, and the two camps in the military and political circles are really a mess." ”
The second elder nodded lightly and was noncommittal, "It's not bad, why do you have to have that girl?"
"I know it's wrong, second grandfather. ”
"What's wrong?"
"The family is now in a relatively difficult period, the best way to survive is to keep quiet, this time my performance is somewhat eye-catching, this is something I didn't grasp in advance......" Lin Ke quietly defended himself, and quickly got back to business after seeing that Shandi's face was not good-looking, "What should not be done is to be strong in Lilia's affairs, so that the family owes a lot of favors." ”
Second Elder Sandy was silent for a while with a calm face and then spoke, "Fuck off, I won't intercede for you from your grandfather." ”
Lin Ke hurriedly saluted and retired, but secretly let out a sigh of relief.
