Chapter 220: Survival of the Fittest
"Lady Serena of the Mutes family is here with her son, Master Cohen!"
"Do you need to introduce it like this?" Lin Ke frowned slightly and asked Serena, "Could it be that there are still seven families who don't know each other?"
Serena lowered her voice and leaned into Lin Ke's ear and said, "You also said that it is the Seven Great Families and not the Six. [Ran^Text^Library] []”
Lin Ke was shocked, it turned out that the most mysterious and unpredictable first family in Windy City was about to show up?! These introductions are for the representative of this family.
He twisted his head a few times to sweep through the sparse crowd that had already arrived, and he really saw someone he had never seen before.
An older woman who looks extremely tranquil and can't guess her age.
She was not tall, her figure was slightly fat, and she was wearing a wide gray robe that was not very elegant, and she looked like the most common ordinary woman on the streets of Windy City, which did not match the atmosphere of the reception.
He saw her, and she also noticed the mother and son of Linko.
Linko walked to the small group under the leadership of Serena, "Hello Dear Lady Doppton, Serena and her son Cohen of the Mutters family wish you all the best!"
Before Lin Ke had time to think about Serena's respectful attitude, he had to salute with her, and after the salute, he realized that the members of this small group were a little special, except for the Mutes family himself, the other people were the patriarchs of the other major families!
His mother and son were the latest to arrive, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak when he thought of this, if he hadn't delayed a lot of time, he wouldn't have been the last to arrive.
"And your name is Serena Mutes?" asked the old woman with a smile.
"No, the juniors are called Serena Breeze, and the dog Cohen Mutes," Serena said humbly.
"Oh, the Qingfeng family in Liucheng, well, but the Mutes family is worthy of it now, Cohen, right? I heard Nobel mention you, it's very good," the old woman reached out and stroked Linko's head, a simple gesture that really shocked everyone.
Including Linko.
Isn't Nobel the vice president of the God of War Academy, the Nobel of the Holy Magician Nobel?!
So what kind of existence is this old woman in front of her, who is not amazing, but can call her name, is about to come out.
Lin Ke immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you, Madame, for your compliment." ”
Everyone was silent as the old woman spoke.
"Didn't the Patriarch of the Rhine come?" the old woman asked Serena.
"My father was in a critical retreat and could not come, so he repeatedly asked me to express my sincere apologies to you before entering the customs," Serena saluted, "If there is anything about the Mutes family, the junior must tell him as soon as possible, and he will not delay your arrangements." ”
Lin Ke tasted a little bit of the taste, it turned out that this seven families drinking party was not just a simple gathering, but other political meanings were stronger.
He looked at the young people in the distance who had been brought to the world by their respective heads of households, and wondered if he should go to that kind of place to join in the fun.
The old woman saw Lin Ke's thoughts, patted his head with a smile and said, "The old body is going to stay in the Windy City for a few days, Cohen will stay by the old body's side these days, coincidentally, the old body is also a wind magician like you, so when he sees you, he may be able to give you some guidance, and it can be regarded as bringing up the juniors." ”
Lin Ke was overjoyed, but Serena thanked with some trepidation, "Thank you Madame for the importance of dogs, thank you Madame!"
The old woman waved her hand casually to signal that she didn't need to be polite and said to the patriarchs of the other major families, "In the past few years, the patriarchs have worked hard to maintain the peace of this windy city, and they are very happy that there are no problems to trouble the old body, and there is nothing important to come back this time, just listen to what everyone says, if there are any problems that can be communicated and solved in time, they are always neighbors in the same city, and there are no knots that cannot be solved, right?"
Lin Ke's heart was very uneasy.
Before the old woman representing the first big family in the Windy City in front of him, Lin Ke had seen two characters in the Spirit Realm, the bald head Wendell and the Holy Magician Nobel, both of whom gave him a comfortable and terrifying feeling as if he was facing heaven and earth.
In front of them, Linko felt like a speck of dust on the crater, and once the volcano erupted, the dust would instantly disappear.
So he's very restrained, very restrained.
However, the old woman's strange intimacy towards him made his heart ring with alarm bells, and at the same time he had to have some expectations.
Maybe she really looks at the face of the vice president and gives herself a little benefit, then she will be used for life.
"Tell me, Robert Hogan, don't you have anything to say?" asked the old woman casually.
Robert the head of the Bit family glanced at Hogan and smiled and motioned for the other party to speak first.
"It's really not too big," Hogan smiled at Robert and nodded before he spoke first, and said in a respectful tone, "If you want to say something interesting, the Fili family, which has been inherited in Windy City for hundreds of years, turned out to be a rebel in collusion with the dragon clan, but fortunately, the Bit family and the Mutes family found and eliminated it in time, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to bear some responsibility in Windy City." ”
"Yes, this Fili family still had a city lord several generations ago, it's unbelievable, there is such a deep hidden dragon clan spy, and there is probably a more important mission to carry out by doing nothing for hundreds of years, but fortunately, it was discovered by the Mutes family in time," Ying He, the head of the Les clan of the Gao Yadi family.
Robert, the patriarch of the Bit family, was not in a hurry to explain, and Serena naturally couldn't speak casually.
The old woman fiddled with the wine glass and said with a smile, "Since it is a spy of the dragon clan, it is naturally very big, and it is normal to hide it deeply, and the two of you don't have to blame yourself, as for the performance and merits of the Bit and Mutes families, I will tell some people that the reward will be rewarded and punished, but I heard that Rhine is sitting in that position, which probably shows that he is loyal to the empire." ”
Hogan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "What you said is reasonable, but this matter has also caused another small problem, Rhine's current position was originally the long-term agent of the Elder Patriarch of the Troops family, and now that he has a real belonging, it is also a good thing, and the position of the Patriarch of Kraff is ......?"
"I heard that Patriarch Raff's grandfather passed away some time ago?" said the old woman, who had not said a word, as if casually.
"Yes, ma'am," Raff's grief deepened, "my grandfather passed away some time ago, and the news has not yet been officially made public by the Trupps family, and Raff had planned to announce it after this reception. ”
"Well, the death of the old man is a big deal, he has made so many contributions to the family during his lifetime, and after his death, his descendants should pay enough respect, and the patriarch of Raff will keep filial piety at home for a while, besides, I see that your brothers are all at a critical stage, and you can cultivate with peace of mind with less interference, you must know that cultivation is the right path," the old woman's words were serious.
But everyone's hearts were slightly cold.
