The middle-aged man's name is Rhein Mutes, the head of the Mutes family where Cohen belongs, one hundred and five years old this year, even the longest-lived person on earth is already gray-haired at this age, but Rhein, who has the strength of the Dragon Power Realm, has an astonishing life span of three hundred years, although he is already older when he enters the Dragon Power, but this still gives him the appearance of a middle-aged man and the physique of a "young man".

Rhine glanced at Lin Ke again suspiciously, then turned his gaze to the soup that was already a little dry on the ground, and frowned slightly, "I have already asked the best doctor in Windy City to come over." Your internal organs are somewhat damaged, but it will not affect your future cultivation, you don't have to worry about the matter of competing for the entrance examination of the God of War Academy, the original quota of the family is for you, rest more, recuperate your body, don't let the adults * heart," paused and said, " Your mother's side of you come to persuade you, you don't have to write to your father for this kind of thing, he is already under a lot of pressure in the army, don't let him be too distracted, you grow up, you should know that the consequences of being distracted there will be very serious, and the family can no longer afford the blow of the second generation dying in battle. ”

Lin Ke nodded worriedly.

Cohen's Mutes family is the seventh largest of the Windy City's burgeoning family, but it's all thanks to Cohen's grandfather, Rhine.

Rhine was born in a very ordinary civilian family in the Windy City, left home at the age of seventeen to join the army, with his enthusiasm and extraordinary talent, he stimulated the fighting spirit in the army to become a noble professional, and since then he has been out of control, fighting at the forefront for decades not only did not die in battle, but also worked all the way under the tempering of life and death, and finally achieved the powerful strength of the Dragon Power Realm, and was promoted as a model of civilian inspiration by the legion as a legendary hero, and has a high reputation in the army. Finally, after the new emperor ascended the throne fifteen years ago, he entered the list of the first batch of military real power figures who were promoted by virtue of military merits and returned to their hometowns and garrisoned in the new places proposed by the new emperor, and became the third person in the upstart military of Windy City.

Originally, the story of all this was far from Cohen.

In Cohen's memory, everything in the family seemed so natural, and the only thing he had to do was to keep cultivating and cultivating again, until one day he became a dragon power realm powerhouse like his grandfather, and in turn protected his father, mother, and family.

Kolinko is different.

When Linko recalled Cohen's memories of his family, he was a little worried.

Of course, it is not enough for a large emerging family to rely on a top powerhouse, even if this powerhouse can suppress one side, the key is the lack of foundation.

The rise of the Mutes family is too fast, so fast that the second and third generations of descendants have no time to keep up with the Rhine, so fast that the family has no time to accumulate enough foundation, and even lacks a reasonable family structure in the face of the sudden surge of interests, this is like a child holding gold in his left hand and a knife in his right, even if this knife is extremely sharp, how can it make those adults who are staring at gold feel afraid? Especially when there are so many people staring at gold!

What's more, the Mutes family has a more serious weakness, that is, the mortality rate of the second generation is too high, which causes a huge inheritance gap.

Rhine has eight sons, all of whom followed Rhine's example in adulthood and joined the army, three of them died in battle at an early age, and three of the remaining five have extraordinary talents and successfully stimulate energy to become professionals, originally everything was going in a good direction, but in the latest large-scale battle between the empire and the dragons six years ago, except for Cohen's father Jason, the remaining four brothers were all killed! This is a heavy blow to the already struggling family, but fortunately, Jason's powerful strength in the first battle to achieve the high level of the Great Force Realm has been recognized by the military and promoted to become an influential senior officer in the front, otherwise I am afraid that whether the Mutes family can continue to maintain the reputation of a large family has become a problem.

"Okay Cohen, your mother is here, I'm leaving. Rhine stood up and took a deep look at Lin Ke again, gently stroked his golden hair a few times and said, "The matter of cultivation is in a hurry, you are still so young, rest assured, there is still a lot of time." ”

Lin Ke's nose was sour, he knew better than Cohen what time meant to this family, and he could imagine how much this old man who was alone for the family had to bear, he felt that there was a strange connection between himself and the old man in front of him, and he felt that it was family affection.

――――――――――――――――――――

"Father, how's Cohen?!"

A young woman who hurriedly abandoned all elegance but was still beautiful met Rhine at the gate of the small courtyard, and asked without caring about the superfluous etiquette, with a worried face.

"It's not a big deal, it should be that the urgent cultivation caused the energy explosion to hurt the organs, but I've already seen it, it's not a big problem," Rhine was a little relieved, this was the first time she took the initiative to talk to herself since she refused her to let Jason retire, "I've already called someone to call a doctor over, don't worry too much," he hesitated and continued, There are ten more days to be the God of War Academy's open competition for places in Windy City, don't let Cohen cultivate again during this time, it will be difficult for us to beat the other six families in the competition for those three places, and it doesn't matter which one less place is missing, the original place of the family will be reserved for Cohen. ”

"Thank you father for taking Cohen seriously," the young woman's anxious face softened a lot, and she gently bent down and saluted Rhine.

Rhine frowned slightly, and then sighed, "Serena, I won't say much about Jason, the family is in a difficult period," Rhine paused with a serious face, "I will write to him to come back, as for whether to return to serve in the army, the family will respect his personal wishes." ”

The young woman named Serena was stunned and saluted again.

"Cohen is the hope of the family," Rhein said firmly, "You are also a professional and you should know the difference between a spellcaster and a fighter," Rhein's emotions were slightly agitated, "There has never been a caster of any attribute in the family before, a grown-up spellcaster is enough to make a family enjoy peace for hundreds of years, Serena, I know that every mother hopes that her son can live in this world simply and happily forever, enjoying all good things at ease," Rhein turned to stare into Serena's eyes, "But it is not a misfortune to be born into this family, to enjoy all these things that are impossible for civilians, and he has to choose to fight for this family to protect everything he wants to maintain and protect, and to do so, he needs more strength." Just today, I felt a strange fluctuation of wind energy in the direction of Cohen's bedroom, you know I always pay attention to his progress from time to time, a faint but continuous wind energy is injected into his room, this may be the reason for his condition, although I am annoyed that he is ignoring his body's crazy cultivation, but I am also glad that he is beginning to think about the family, even if it seems to us that the number of places in the academy is not so important. Serena, he, grew up. ”

The young woman was a little distracted, perhaps in her eyes Cohen was still the little boy who ran into her arms and spoiled her.

"Yes, he has grown up, and he will go to the imperial capital to study alone in half a year," the young woman was stunned.

"No, he won't be alone," Rhine's face was slightly gloomy, "This incident has reminded us," he thought of the bowl of soup, Cohen, who had received a good aristocratic etiquette education, had no habit of eating in the bedroom, "The family can't afford to lose Jason again, and similarly, Cohen, who has become the most prominent representative of the third generation, we can't allow any accidents to happen to him, I think he needs to have some loyal companions, and an elder who can take care of him at any time," Rhein looked up at Serena, as if asking for her opinion, "I'm going to let the seventh go to Cohen's side." ”

"Seventh Uncle?" Serena hesitated a little, and finally expressed her worries, "No one will doubt the strength of Seventh Uncle, but Seventh Uncle's temperament is a little different, is it a little different for the third uncle or the fourth ......uncle?"

Rhine smiled a little for the first time, "No, Serena, you don't know Lao Qi, among those old guys, he is the one who has always liked him the most since Cohen was born, it's just that he is not good at expressing it, don't worry, he will take care of him, you go and see him, I'll go first." ”

Behind Rhine's calmly departing back, Serena saluted silently.

――――――――――――――――――――

Linko looked at the young woman sitting on the edge of the bed, she had a stunning long bright blonde hair, clear eyes as light blue as Cohen, her skin was smooth and delicate, and her small, full lips under the high bridge of the nose made her look even more charming.

She is graceful and luxurious, natural and generous, warm and loving, in line with all the fantasies of the perfect mother in Lin Ke's mind, and the unconcealed love in his eyes makes him feel warm, he looks at her, a little stunned.

"What's the matter, son," the young woman stroked Lin Ke's cheek distressedly, and the latter's face looked a little pale, "Is it still hurting?"

Linko shook his head, he thought, the young woman always cared for Cohen, who might have died, he was just his replacement, but he wanted to be her son.

"No, Mom, Dr. Kama just said that I'm fine, I'll be fully recovered after just a few days of recuperation, you know, I'll be alive and well like before, no different. ”

"Promise me, don't cultivate again during this time," the young woman was a little worried, "You are good enough, my son, you are the best in the entire family, and even in the entire Windy City, forget the damn academy place, you know, the original ten places in Windy City were divided into seven by the seven major families, and our Mutes family originally had a place, and this place will belong to you." As for the remaining three open evaluations for the whole city, it is just a pretense, and it is impossible for anyone among the civilians to get it, and with the current background of our family, it is difficult to compete for the other six, it is just a show. It's not your fault, you're just too young. ”

"I know, I know Mom, don't worry, I won't do anything stupid to worry about you," Lin Ke looked solemn, it looked like he was about to swear a curse, it really couldn't be true, "I've thought about it, when I'm well in two days, I'll go hunting with Daisy in Lanshan, catch a few wind rabbits and come back to decorate your small garden, there must be some living creatures to be more vivid, and I haven't left Windy City for a long time." ”

"Our little Cohen has grown up," the young woman's eyes were a little complicated, as if she was relieved and reluctant, making it difficult for Lin Ke to read, "It's okay to go out for a walk, but this time you have to bring more guards, although Lanshan is not far from Windy City, but it is not close, the current situation of the family is a little inappropriate, it is always good to be careful, I let Xue'er be with you, and I can also take care of your daily life to some extent." ”

"In a few days, your grandfather will let your seventh grandfather come to you, and he can also guide your cultivation nearby, although there is no spellcaster in the family, but your seventh grandfather is superb, and it is enough to answer some doubts for you now. ”

"Seventh Grandpa?!"
