Chapter 3 Family School

"Seventh Grandpa?!" Lin Ke was a little surprised.

This seventh grandfather is called Eller? Heyman, like the other five old men who became the elders of the family, although he was called grandfather by Cohen, was actually not Rhine's own brother, and now, in addition to Rhine himself, the first generation of the old people of the family have long since passed away, leaving only a limited number of descendants to take refuge in the Mutes family, Rhine is also very good to the descendants of several brothers, and all those under the age of eighteen are sent to the family school to study, and there is no difference from his direct descendants, there are individual talents who have broken through to become professionals and now have occupied an important position in the family industry。

The six elders are actually the elder brothers of Cohen's grandfather, Rhein, during his military struggle. Along the way, experienced too many lives and deaths, until Rhine was able to return to the Windy City to create a family, the six older ones who were nearly 100 years old and the youngest over 60 years old suddenly looked back, only to find that their original civilian families had already been different, and the descendants who lacked the protection of strong family power were still living in difficulty, Rhine learned of their situation and sent an invitation on behalf of the Mutes family, and the latter did not hesitate too much to bring their respective family members to the Windy City and merge into the Mutes family together, and the six became the six elders of the Mutes family, and Rhine insisted that both inside and outside the family should respect the six people as if they respected the first generation of eldersand never change.

Among the six elders, only the youngest Seventh Elder came alone, speaking of which, this strong man who is only sixty-four years old this year looks not much older than Cohen's father Jason, but at Rhein's insistence, he has become the seventh grandfather of Jason's seventh uncle Cohen.

As for why the Seven Elders didn't start a family, this is something that many people in the family are willing to spend some time speculating on in private, but the Seven Elders who are a little withdrawn from these words never mind, and over time, no one is willing to talk about anything.

Lin Ke had only seen the few smiles of this always serious elder in Cohen's memory, and he was very stiff.

Is this such a person being sent by his grandfather to protect himself? Lin Ke couldn't help but think about it, but he didn't know the essentials, so that's it.

Cohen's mother, Serena, chatted with Lin Ke for a long time, and then saw that Lin Ke was a little tired, and repeatedly warned and even warned him not to leave with a full stomach of uncertainty after cultivating during the recuperation period. Lin Ke knew that Cohen's mother, Serena, was a very key player in the family, controlling most of the family's property, and even if there were more subordinates to share in the regular things, she was still busy every day, and Lin Ke knew this feeling.

At the same time, Lin Ke was also a little worried, knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, he really didn't have the confidence to stay with Cohen's mother for a long time without showing any horses, he was worried, because he didn't want to lose this mother and the family that gave him warm feelings for the first time.

He told himself again and again in his heart, Linko is Cohen, and I am Cohen!

Before closing his eyes and lying down, he said deeply to Cohen, who didn't know if it still existed, "I'm sorry, Cohen." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Linko was woken up by a burst of crying.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but he only knew that when he woke up, his spirit was exceptionally clear, and everything in his body was full of strength, which made him desperate to find a place to vent his excess energy.

It couldn't have been better.

"Master Cohen, you're awake. ”

It was a girl who made Lin Ke, who was accustomed to seeing artificial beauties in Earth magazines, with long bright blonde hair and a pair of clear blue eyes, like a living Barbie doll, just the faint curvature of her full and small lips made the whole room bright.

Lin Ke felt that he was stunned for at least a thousandth of a second before he got up and said hello to her, "Well, morning, Sister Xue'er," as he spoke, he naturally passed by and smelled a slight fragrance, and was in a bright mood, picking up the water glass on the table and drinking it all, but he didn't notice that Xue'er behind him was already standing on the spot.

"Young Master Cohen, please," Ellie said as if a drowning person had seen the last straw and threw herself in front of Cohen and cried, "For the sake of me taking care of you all these years, don't drive me away, please." ”

"Of course," Lin Ke felt a little thirsty, and after glancing at Ellie's current state, it was obvious that he would not help him store water, so he poured another glass and drank it.

"Really, you, did you really promise not to send me to Xicheng District?" Ellie's watery eyes widened, staring at Lin Ke as if she were looking at someone she never knew.

"Master Cohen, Lady Serena is very dissatisfied with Ellie's dereliction of duty, and has decided to let her leave the family and send her back to Xicheng District," Barbie girl Cher answered the question in Lin Ke's mind on the side, although he had already guessed probably.

"Oh, in that case, will you give her a sum of money?" asked Lin Ke casually, ignoring Ellie's desperate eyes on the side.

"Of course, Lady Serena has already commanded her to take care of her life," Cher said as she approached Lynko, softly taking the glass of water from his hand and refilling it again.

Lin Ke admired in his heart, "I seem to have slept for a long time," he naturally walked to a huge mirror, and for the first time, he saw his appearance completely at this time: a pair of pale blue eyes with long golden hair exuding a strange brilliance, a high nose bridge and lips with a faint smile, everything looked so harmonious, compared to the public face in the previous life, it can be regarded as charming.

"Three days," Cher's three ceramic-white and slender fingers caught Lin Ke's attention, "and it's not morning, Dr. Kama has already come once yesterday and said that your body is recovering amazingly fast, and you will probably wake up today." ”

"It's really an experienced doctor," Lin Ke finished drinking the water in the cup and put the water cup on the table, stretched and said, "Let's go out for a walk, I've been stuffy in this room for too long, it's time to breathe," Lin Ke stood up and rubbed Ellie's hair, the chestnut hair was very soft, "What should I do, little Ellie, I agreed to your request," he looked up at Cher, smiling and showing his white teeth, "And what I promised others will definitely be done." ”

The look of surprise in Xue'er's eyes could no longer be hidden, and then Lin Ke's bright smile was intoxicated, "Madame must be very happy to hear your words." ”

"You just called me Sister Xue'er?" Xue'er walked quietly a little behind Lin Ke's side, not far away, not close, and then a little behind was Ellie, the little girl had already put down her burden, and her mood was bright like a bird in spring, and she walked much brisker than usual.

"What, you're afraid I'll regret it?" Lin Ke walked through the family's courtyards with his hands behind his back, as if he was visiting some famous place.

The natural environment of this world is much better than that of the earth, the air is fresh and thorough, the flowers and plants are bright and moving, even in the Mutes family mansion in the heart of the Windy City, there are still huge trees that need to be surrounded by two people to hug, and the lush canopy casts mottled shadows swaying in the wind on the smooth stone pavement, removing a trace of dryness, but also smoothing the ripples in his heart, making Lin Ke's whole heart become quiet and indifferent.

Cher shook her head and said, "You've never called me that before, even though we've met countless times, you've become a little different. ”

Linko didn't expect that the first person to notice this difference turned out to be not Cohen's mother Serena, but the girl in front of him who had only been together for less than ten minutes, and saw that in Cohen's memory, the intersection between her and Cohen was very small.

"Maybe, maybe it was the upheaval of that moment that made me see many things that I had never seen clearly in life, those I had neglected, those I had obsessed with, those I had disdained and those I had been proud of, making me feel as if I had lived fourteen years again," Lin Ke's half-truths and half-truths were pulling out some mysterious things, "In short, this time I earned it." ”

Cher was not very comfortable with his jumping thinking, and was a little stunned.

Passing through a simple hardwood gate on the tall and heavy courtyard wall, behind the door is a huge * field, Lin Ke knows with Cohen's memory that this is the family school of the Mutes family, where all the children of the family under the age of eighteen are studying and exercising, hoping to successfully stimulate the energy to become a noble professional before leaving the school, and change their lives from then on.

Countless facts in the past have proved that if a human race fails to stimulate the relationship between himself and the free energy of the outside world before the age of eighteen and becomes a professional, it will be almost impossible to break through in his life, and he can only live as an ordinary person, and at the same time, it is not that the sooner the awakening ability can go, the further he can go, the improvement of strength is a long process, and there are too many accidents and levels.

There are probably several types of people in the academy, the first category, the direct bloodline of Rhine, six boys and three girls including Cohen, who are the most concerned and favored objects in the academy, the eldest of them is nineteen years old but still unwilling to give up and leave, this type of people are self-contained in the academy, of course, excluding Cohen. The second group, the young descendants of the five elders, is a looser group, each with the intention of breaking through their limits one day to become a professional and have a better future in the family. The third group is the descendants of Rhine's deceased brothers, who are most united because they are discriminated against in the family. The fourth group is the servant group, which is the largest group of people in the academy, and the future power of the major families, most of whom are similar to Ellie's origins, all children of poor civilian families or simply orphans. From a very young age, he was adopted by major families in the academy, giving the children of commoners the treatment and life that they could never have, until one day he became a professional and entered the circle of key cultivation of the family, or became a servant or guard after the age of eighteen, and completely integrated into the family, like a drop of rootless water from the sky, destined to fall into the river and sea, but only splashed a little ripple.

Lin Ke didn't feel too much, these are the eternal and unchanging rules of the world, he will never break into the shackles like a savior to save anyone, because he knows that only he can save himself, and only he can break free from the firm and invincible shackles around him, so as to get a new life.

He didn't come to class, he came here today to meet someone, a brother who gave him a bowl of soup.

The arrival of Linko attracted the attention of almost all the people who were exercising on the field. He saw a small forest at the edge of the field, remote but quiet, and under the shade of the trees, several young figures in robes were meditating there, and at this moment someone was already looking over, and in * In the central area of the field, a large group of boys bare their upper bodies, their muscles that looked shiny because of the drugs were even darker and shiny in the sun, and their companions holding wooden sticks hit their hard muscles according to a certain rhythm, using the most primitive pain to stimulate the acupuncture points around the body, enhancing the body's reaction ability and trying to stimulate energy induction.

* Around the field, there are groups of girls holding wooden thorns to catch and fight, fluttering like flying swallows, and there are also scattered young men holding blunt swords and chopping wooden stakes, pretentious and angry lion cubs.

This is the color that Cohen remembers the most, the place where he spent most of his childhood! At a time when other children on Earth were still frolicking in the playground, he had been meditating in that grove for days and days, and in the family school* when all the children had left, he was still silently meditating on the ethereal meaning of magic in that familiar grove.

Cohen was never a genius.

But he accomplished everything that could only be done in the eyes of all!
