Chapter 253: The Storm Rises
"Young Master, Young Master Cohen!"
Early the next morning, Lin Ke woke up the little cat girl Mei Li, although her voice was crisp and beautiful, it still made the young master Lin Ke a little unhappy. [Ran^Text^Library] []γRan Library(7764)γ
"What's the matter?" said in a deep voice.
The little cat woman was suddenly startled, and she had already pushed open the door and stood in Lin Ke's house, and she instantly stood there alone and whispered, "There is a person outside who claims to be the butler of the Nineteenth Prince asking to see me, Lord Leo asked me to talk to you quickly......"
Lin Ke paused, "The butler of the Nineteenth Prince?"
"Well, yes," said the little catwoman, nodding vigorously like a living sculpture, "I came with a few people, all dressed in beautiful clothes!"
Lin Ke said to Xue'er who had just walked in while washing his hands and feet, "There are a few guests here, Xue'er will go to greet them first, just take them to the living room, I'll be there later." β
Cher nodded and left before she could speak.
"Merry, you go get busy first," Lin Ke hurriedly dressed and walked out quickly, and soon came to the back door of the meeting room, stopping to let Neil, who was already quietly following behind, check his appearance before slowly walking into the meeting room.
"Lord Steward, forgive me, I cultivated a little late yesterday, and I can't get up this morning," Lin Ke greeted him with a smile, full of enthusiasm.
"Where, it's our presumptuous visit that disturbed Lord Cohen's rest, and it's us who should be sorry!" the two exchanged pleasantries for a moment and then sat down.
"Is there something that Lord Steward has come to see Cohen, or does His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince have any orders?" Lin Ke asked cautiously.
"It's not a big deal," the butler smiled and took out a beautiful jasper box from the servant behind him, carefully placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Lin Ke, "Your Highness noticed at the legendary auction last time that Lord Cohen was very interested in the barrier-breaking grass that was being auctioned at that time, so he secretly wrote it down, and it happened that someone sent two plants a few days ago, so he asked me to quickly bring one over to Lord Cohen, so I took the liberty to visit!"
Lin Ke couldn't help but be moved, "How dare you take this gift, this gift is too valuable, please forgive Cohen for not daring to accept it! But His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince doesn't dare to forget it!"
"Lord Cohen isn't this embarrassing for me, it's all the things that the master has explained, you can accept it," the butler paused for a moment and said pointedly, "Your Highness has always loved Her Royal Highness Princess Sarah very much, so I also appreciate Lord Cohen very much, and I heard that you encountered an assassin after the auction, and I was really worried for a while!"
Lin Ke naturally knew in his heart that he did see the faces of two fierce people not far from the assassin scene that day, and the person who took the lead in the attack was a guard standing behind the Eighteenth Prince at the auction, and it was the guard who stood behind the Nineteenth Prince who was accused of being an assassin.
As for the assassination, it is nothing, the business war is ruthless, and Cohen probably knows who his opponent is, but it makes His Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince worried. β
The butler smiled and nodded meaningfully, "It's good that Lord Cohen is okay, Your Highness is just worried, and has no other meaning, since this is the case, I will leave first, and Your Highness has also ordered other things to do!"
Lin Ke got up and sent him off, "Master Butler, go slowly!"
It wasn't until the butler and his party had left that Eller suddenly appeared in the parlor.
"What a barrier breaker!" said Eller, "this royal style is truly extraordinary!"
"Just take it back and deal with it for grandpa," Lin Kehaha laughed, "It's not easy to provoke Seventh Grandpa to come out, this barrier-breaking grass is really powerful!"
Eller carefully closed the box and said, "With this barrier-breaking grass brother, it is very likely that he will break through the big bottleneck within three years and become a great master of the middle level of dragon power, if you haven't stayed in the Dragon Slayer Castle, you won't know how big the gap between the middle level of dragon power and the low level of dragon power is, and at that time, my Mutes family will really have some confidence!"
Lin Ke said with a smile, "Then the hope of this family will be handed over to Seventh Grandpa for safekeeping!"
Eller gave a rare smile and then put it away unceremoniously, only then did he restrain his smile and said solemnly, "What happened that day was related to the royal family?!"
Lin Ke sat on the chair and drank the tea that he hadn't finished just now, "It's not very related, the princes compete for the small means of harming others, and with their identities, they can't really calculate the head of a small horn like me, it's a coincidence, isn't this also a little cheap, but this Royal Highness the Nineteenth Prince is really full of atmosphere, and treasures like the Barrier Breaking Grass are all sent out casually." β
Eller was relieved at this time, patted the jade box on his chest lightly and stopped talking.
"Seventh Grandpa, what is the effect of taking that 'medicine' pill?" Lin Ke suddenly asked.
Eller couldn't stop smiling in an instant and said, "Originally, I was going to stay in the position of this eighth-order of great power for many more years, but now," he raised his hand, and suddenly his fighting spirit instantly converged in the hall, and his ability to grasp power reached an astonishing level, "I'm also qualified to try that dragon power 'level'!"
Lin Ke was overjoyed, Eller had broken through to the ninth order of Juli!
"Neil, how are you?!" Linko hurriedly asked Neil, who was standing there motionless.
"It's still a little hot," Neil said modestly.
"It's not that he's not a little hot, but the foundation is too solid," Eller shook his head with emotion and said, "Maybe this is the cultivation method of the orc clan, they emphasize accumulation, their cultivation is slower than that of the human race, but in terms of combat power of the same level, it is much more than that, it is indeed powerful!"
Lin Ke looked over in surprise, and Neil smiled innocently.
"Tomorrow is the time for the battle on the Billboard, and now Xue'er has also broken through to the seventh order of Xiong Li, although the realm is not very stable, but the real combat power is more than a step higher, as long as it is not too bad luck, there is great hope for being on the list," Lin Ke looked at Xue'er who was smiling but said nothing.
"It's really promising," Lilith and Nicole, who hadn't seen each other for a few days, walked in from outside the hall and shook the scroll in their hands, "The battle method of the Billboard is the same as the final assessment, and now the data of the college's advanced combat power students has also come out." β
"Oh?" Lin Ke hurriedly asked, "Tell me about it!"
Nicole smiled and took over the topic, "According to the data on the scroll, there are now a total of twelve students in the academy who have reached the ninth rank of Xiong Li, all of whom are from the fourth year, that is to say, according to the assessment rules, these twelve people will be on the list anyway." β
Lilith said, "There are a total of thirty-two people who have reached the eighth order of Xiong Li. β
"That is to say, there are forty-four people from the eighth and ninth orders of Xiong Li alone," Xue'er frowned slightly, "There are only the last six places that can be given to Xiong Li's seventh order to compete for?!"
