Three days later, the Mutters family, the courtyard of the Rhine.

"Grandpa, you're looking for me," Linko sat down across from Rhine, who was sipping tea in a gesture of reverence that Linko couldn't understand.

"Well, here it is," Rhine just glanced at him lightly, and was not surprised that he was able to recover intact, but moved his gaze to Cher and Lilith who were following him, one was wearing a snow-white dress and the other was wearing a black tights, one was tall and beautiful, and the other was petite and moving, which made Lin Ke sitting in front of them look less eye-catching, Rhine nodded to the two, "Cher has grown taller again." Come, you and Lilith both sit down and taste the tea made by Grandpa, which is a rare and superb snow ridge outside. ”

Xue'er smiled naturally and said "Thank you, grandpa" and sat down next to Lin Ke, she has never been really regarded as a maid in the mansion, but Lilith was extremely restrained in the face of the unfathomable head of the Mutes family in front of her, and she didn't dare to step forward and sit there for a long time with her head down, but fortunately, Lin Ke noticed this and pulled her to the seat on the other side of her.

"Grandpa has never cared about those bits and pieces of aristocratic rules, he's an old soldier!" Linko soothed Lilith with a slap on the back.

Rhine was really very useful, squinting his eyes and taking a sip of tea gently, slightly meaningful.

"Grandpa, do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Ke drank the so-called best snow ridge in his cup in one gulp, and he didn't notice the difference in the slightest, and Rhine shook his head for a while.

"It's about the boy of the Black Panther Clan," Rhine saw Lin Ke's doubts, "Forget the dark-skinned boy you brought back from Fang Market Street with Lao Qi a few days ago?" He is actually a member of the Black Panther Clan who has a strong fighting talent in the Leopard Clan, and your grandfather told you a lot of stories about orcs when you were a child, including a Leopard Clan's racial talent called Transfiguration, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, if you cultivate to a small level, you can change your appearance, and if you cultivate to the extreme, you can transform into a variety of forms of magical talents, do you mean ......?"

"Yes, that black boy has mastered the Transfiguration Technique, which is a powerful natural ability that even your seventh grandfather has not recognized face-to-face, if it weren't for the fact that you found out the clue and this kid really lacks some human wisdom, I would have told him to escape," Rhine said with a smile, "We caught that fat man." ”

Lin Ke's heart moved.

Judging from the situation that day, the fat man with the ring on his hand obviously had an extremely important position in the black boy's heart, but I don't know how important this has gone.

"Let's go, Cohen," Rhein stood up and waved his hand at Linko to follow him, "Let's go meet those two orcs, you shouldn't have seen what a real orc looks like, today is an eye-opener, Cher, you accompany Lilith around the family and familiarize yourself with the environment, Cohen will find you soon." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The grandfather and grandson came to an unobtrusive, vacant courtyard.

Rhine walked to the low rockery in the middle of the courtyard, and skillfully found a few of them in the pits all over the stones, reached in and fiddled with them a few times, and a stone that could hardly see anything wrong from the outside suddenly cracked a large hole for three people to walk in parallel, and Rhine did not explain much, and took the lead in stepping in.

Lin Ke followed, his eyes as if unconsciously, glancing in the direction of the house not far away, where he felt several fluctuations of power that were not weak.

Going all the way down, the place where the family secretly held prisoners was supposed to be built underground.

As we go deeper, the interior space gets bigger and bigger.

"Nothing you want to ask?" Rhine asked without looking back.

"Yes, would it be too easy for the enemy to identify the entrance on such an obvious rockery?"

Rhine "......".

"Okay grandpa, you probably want me to ask why you beat me or something," Lin Ke said after a little silence, "Inside and out, you always need an explanation." ”

Rhine was shocked in his heart, but his appearance was silent, he felt the need to make his grandson not too proud, "What I want you to ask is why you caught that fat man." ”

"Why?"

Rhine "......"

"Okay," Rhein was speechless for a while and finally adjusted his mentality, "We want to use this fat man to test the bottom line of the Black Panther Kid, if it is deep enough, he will recognize you as the master." ”

Of course he knew that the so-called recognition of him as the master was not as simple as kneeling on the ground and kissing his boots, and the so-called recognition of the master of the alien race by human beings has always referred to only one thing, the soul contract!

Lin Ke's mind was slightly confused, "Why me?" he paused before he added, "Well, what I want to say is why you chose to let him recognize me as my master instead of my father or the other brothers? I don't think that's any different, the brothers even need him more, and I don't lack protection around me. ”

"That's what your seventh grandfather meant," Rhein walked forward without stopping, waving his hand and giving a military salute to a few of the guards guarding here. You are going to go to the imperial capital later, if you pass the entrance exam, your seventh grandfather will come back to Windy City, you will study there for a period of time, during this time, you will contact more people and encounter more things, you can't be without a few useful people around you, except for Cher and Lilith, this panther kid is a helper we have prepared for you that can be completely trusted, of course, provided that the fat man is important enough to him. ”

Lin Ke Moran.

The Mutes family is in secret prison.

Lin Ke calmly looked at the huge creature covered in blood in front of him.

I saw a giant humanoid creature with a height of three meters being bound to the sturdy steel cage around him by more than a dozen chains the thickness of a baby's arm, and there were finger-thick iron nails nailed to his body in many places to prevent him from struggling with all his might. The creature has human-like limbs and torso, but has a head like a polar bear, and its white hair is dense all over the head, extending to the chest, shoulders and most of the back, making it look even more wild.

This is the most powerful of the bears, the White Bear.

At this moment, the bearman of the White Bear Clan was obviously in a very poor state and exhausted, and the gorgeous clothes that he had originally incarnated into when he was a fat man and a rich businessman had already turned into pieces of rags and hung on his body, making him look very embarrassed.

"Hehe," the bearman's voice was low and muddy, and a strange smile hung on his obviously beastly face that could be interpreted as sarcastic, "Why don't you kill me?"

Lin Ke didn't say a word, standing on the edge of the cage.

Rhine took a few steps forward, until he reached the place where the bear-man seemed to be able to touch with his head down, "I know that even children among the orcs are not afraid of death, death seems to you to be another destination, and you are not afraid of pain, but I know that you are afraid of disability, you can't bear the pain of seeing your limbs stripped from your body, and you can't accept losing your strength or even the ability to survive, and being raised like dogs by your people," Rhine's words were cruel and chilling, but he was satisfied to see that Lin Ke was no different, "If you don't tell me something that satisfies me, I will tear off your limbs and ask the best doctor to heal your wounds, and then put you in a jar and send you back to the White Bear Clan of the Orc Empire, believing that with your original position in the White Bear Clan, they will save your life and feed you for the rest of your life." ”

The bear man no longer spoke, but bowed his head and was silent, as if he was using a silent way as a resistance.

"That panther kid has a good talent," Rhine's words made the bearman slowly raise his head again.

"If you know the Black Panthers, you'll know that their talent has always been like this, and it's a gift from the great beast god to that people," the bear-man said slowly, as if telling the most ordinary little thing, without the slightest superfluous wave.

"Haha, people always say that orcs are stupid, but how do you know that honest orcs are also so good at lying, if that black boy can be regarded as an ordinary black panther clan, the orc empire has the ability to counterattack the continent instead of being resisted by the alliance of the four northern countries to suffer in the northern ice field. I don't think we need to play any more boring games, just tell me where you came from. ”

The bearman sneered and lowered his head again.

Rhine was not surprised or embarrassed, but turned to Lin Ke behind him and smiled lightly, "Orcs are always like this, but we have time, let's go and see that poor little black panther, let him be loyal to you is the most important thing today." ”

Lin Ke saw the bear man raise his head violently, his eyes staring at him with huge eyes, his teeth almost crushed, but he never said anything.

He silently turned around and followed Rhine away.

――――――――――――――――――――

"If you're not feeling well, you can wait outside, and when everything is ready, I'll call you in and complete a simple ritual," Rhine said to Linko after arriving at the cell where the Black Boy was being held.

"I think I can," Linko said calmly, and as Rhine was about to turn around and open the door, he suddenly spoke again, "Have you made a soul contract with another alien?"

Rhine was stunned for a long time, "Yes, it's a wurm with low intelligence," he let out a long breath, "it's dead." ”

"You're sad. ”

"Yes child," Rhine said in a rare way to Linko with a look other than firmness, "and you will know that over time they will become your brothers, not just a servant or a mount," his eyes filled with sadness, "and it died to protect me." ”

Linko was silent, and then opened the door first.

The black boy in the cell was not locked up like the bear man, but wore a long shackle on one foot, the other end of which was connected to the cell.

Seeing Lin Ke come in, a deep hatred flashed in the black boy's eyes.

"You've got the news of the bear-man's capture, and you've got the result we want," Rhein then walked into the cell and said unhurriedly, "We've given you a long time to think, can you tell me your answer now?"

The black boy didn't say a word, just stared at Lin Ke.

The eyes did not blink.
