Chapter 61: Farewell to Windy City
The Mutes family, Linko's small courtyard.
"Say hello to your grandfather on my behalf, and tell him that I will come over to see him in a little while, and help me ask how your grandfather is doing, he would never write to tell me about these things," Serena's face softened, and she patted Linko's head lightly, " Cohen my son, you have grown up, you must learn to take care of yourself when you leave your mother's side this time, although there will be some servants to escort you to the imperial capital, but in the end it is not the same as the Windy City, the life of the imperial capital is not easy, you have to pay attention everywhere, and don't make trouble everywhere like in the Windy City, your grandfather will protect you from being bullied in the Windy City, but the imperial capital is a place where nobles gather, too many big families that we have never heard of on weekdays will appear there, some people say that throwing a stone on the street will hit a nobleman, this is not an exaggeration, and there are many big people who are so strong that our Mutes family can't afford to provoke them, so you have to be careful in everythingDon't be too public. β
Lin Ke nodded frequently, he still understands these truths, as a person who is not strong enough to a certain extent, it is not humiliating to do something cautious, a really strong person will know how to forbear, and a person who really stands at the top will always experience twists and turns, this is the truth.
Serena repeatedly told her for a long time, and then left in a hurry, she couldn't send Lin Ke's trip tomorrow, but he understood very well, and he also told her to take care of herself, a simple single instruction moved Serena almost to tears, sometimes, the touch that parents need is really simple.
Early the next morning, Lin Ke set off.
The big black horse was finally no longer confined and looked happy in what it thought was too small a horse circle.
I haven't seen it for a few months, but the height of the big black horse has not continued to increase, but the pair of sharp horns have added wisps of yellow silk threads on the basis of the original light gray, which looks more bizarre, and if you look closer, you will find that the muscle lines of the big black horse have become more dense and soft, but it is full of explosive power, and a seemingly non-existent energy fluctuation emanates from it, and gradually, it has been moving closer to the direction of the demonic beast.
"It seems that swallowing a bead of blood really makes you have some incredible changes," Lin Ke patted the neck of the big black horse, the latter affectionately avoided his sharp corners and lowered his head and rubbed his chest with the side, he remembered a little funny how crazy this guy was when he took out the blood bead in front of it, "It's really not that I snubbed you, but your master and I have been very miserable during this time, hey, don't talk about this, I'm finally leaving," He looked back at the three big characters of Mutes on the rockery in the square in front of Mutes' house, and his heart was filled with reluctance.
This is the first place he has been in this world since he came to this world, and it is also the only place in his past life and this life that he has a deep sense of identity, home.
"Brother Cohen, are you reluctant to go, if you are reluctant, you will stay for some more time," Daisy jumped over, she seemed a lot more lively these days with her friends in the company.
Lin Ke helped her straighten the huge bow on her head and pinched her face and said, "It's not that I won't come back, what's there to be reluctant to, I heard that the God of War Academy has a three-month vacation every year, and I'm afraid that little Daisy will grow a lot taller at that time." β
Daisy waved her arms in distress, lowered her head, and stopped talking.
Rhine and the other elders except the six elders Paul, who guarded Nausicaa, came to the square in front of the family gate to see off Linko, this kind of hierarchical ritual is rare in the Mutes family, the big black horse has opened his mind, seeing these people approaching instinctively felt a huge fear, and gradually regained his calm under Linko's comfort, but still raised his hooves from time to time.
"Pay attention to safety on the road, after staying at your grandfather's place for a few days by water, you will have to rush to the imperial capital by land, there will be people from our family chamber of commerce to pick you up in the imperial capital, and there is also our family's own yard near the chamber of commerce, your eldest brother and they live there, although it is not big, but it is enough for you to live again," Rhine showed a rare shallow smile, one hand was on Daisy's little head, and one hand patted Lin Ke's shoulder and couldn't stop nagging," In addition, your second brother Mento is also in the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce, so you don't have to worry about the small conflicts between the two of you when you were young, you will know what your brother is when you go out, and when you stabilize in the academy in the future, you can help him if you can. β
Lin Ke couldn't stop nodding, which made Rhine feel deeply pleased.
"Serena's girl didn't come, first, she's really busy, and second, she can't see this kind of scene, you have to understand her," the fourth elder Lan Daofu began.
"Take care of the children," the slow-speaking Quincy said to Seventh Elder Elle, who nodded stiffly but firmly.
"You must be admitted to the academy, don't embarrass the family," the third elder Rhodes spoke, his voice flat.
Second Elder Sandy was the last to speak, "Take care of yourself. β
After Lin Ke saluted the elders respectfully, a tall young knight who had been waiting on the side strode forward, it was the leader of the sixteen guard knights personally ordered by Lin Ke, and he was also the most powerful of the sixteen earth-attribute knights who had broken through to the fourth order of bear power some time ago, named Leo, who was a young man from a civilian background who had followed Rhine in the army for several years.
"Master of the family, elders, Young Master Cohen, the convoy is ready to go!" Leo's voice was full of the hard style of the army.
"Then let's go," Rhine said to Eller, after giving Leo a military salute.
Lin Ke rode the big black horse with the help of Neil, and he was already standing out from the crowd, the big black horse was no longer as good as it was at the beginning, so that Lin Ke had almost no difficulty in driving, he waited for Neil, Lilith and Cher to ride the war horse, and Eller also got into the carriage, before riding the horse to the front of the team and waving, "Let's go!"
After the convoy walked out, Lin Ke suddenly turned his horse and shouted at Rhine, who had not moved for a long time!
"Grandpa, you're here, waiting for Cohen Mutes' name to resound throughout the Empire!"
The sound lingers for a long time.

The great river went east, and he did not return after thousands of miles.
Green pines on both sides of the strait, green hundred generations of square rules.
Lin Ke had already seen the peerless vastness of the ocean like a storm in this world, and the sea of flowers, waves, grass, and green like Lanshan, and he originally thought that he had already had enough immunity to the natural environment of this world, but when he boarded a merchant ship and sailed out of the port to join the river, he was still overwhelmed by the scene in front of him.
The river is three or four miles wide, the water is blue, the bottom is not visible, the two banks are endless, the terrain is flat, and the vegetation is luxuriant.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sky is blue and the clouds are clear.
Standing on the towering building boat and looking at it, the river is far away and the sky is connected, and the green sky and earth are on the line, which makes people feel happy to the extreme, and the depressed mood of being away from home has decreased a lot in an instant.
"Young master, your big black horse refuses to enter the cabin, and its size is too big, so I just threw it on the deck," Xue'er walked to Lin Ke's side, and while gathering the wind-blown emanation, lined with picturesque scenery, Lin Ke couldn't help but look stunned.
"Oh, oh okay, just let it be there," Lin Ke said a little confused, "This guy is gradually not a horse now, since he has opened his mind, let it be up to his temperament," he looked at Xue'er's slightly red face again, and his heart throbbed unfamiliarly, and secretly sighed that it was really the most beautiful but the beauty of the country.
Xue'er didn't mean to run away, so she stayed by Lin Ke's side to accompany him to see the scenery, at this time Neil, the big black man, seemed a little eye-catching, Lin Ke's heart moved and gave Neil a look, Neil rolled his eyes and walked into the cabin.
As a result, the beautiful scenery and beauties gathered on the platform at the top of the ship, which made Lin Ke feel drunk for a while.
"What are you doing?" said Lilith as she suddenly stepped out of the cabin and looked at the men and women who were getting closer and closer with a puzzled expression.
Lin Ke realized that he was involuntarily approaching Cher, who lowered his face like a red apple and said nothing.
"Aha, Lilith," Lin Ke's mind spun quickly to divert the subject, but his original extremely strong reaction ability seemed a little inadequate at the moment, "Look at this scenery, tsk, it's so beautiful!"
Lilith glanced at Lin Ke in confusion and then swept around hastily, "Where is there any beautiful scenery, a river, a forest, it's very usual, it's really strange," she said as she walked over to Xue'er and stared at her flushed face and asked, "What's wrong with your face? Is it too windy here, so I'll accompany you back to the cabin to talk?"
Cher's face turned even redder, and she nodded busily and returned to the cabin with Lilith.
Lin Ke was left alone in the wind.
The scenery has become imperfected.
After a day of sailing, Lin Ke stayed on the top floor for a day.
During this period, I saw several castles near the river from afar, but the fleet did not stop, after all, Lin Ke and the others had to be delayed in Liucheng for a few days, and the family caravan traveling with them still hoped to reach the imperial capital as soon as possible, and Lin Ke did not want to say anything more about this kind of trivial matter, and Eller, who had a higher status, rarely showed up, so he asked Xue'er to come forward and discuss with the leader of the caravan.
At sunset the next day, according to the original plan, the group has now entered the Liucheng area.
The boat kept sailing, although it was going upstream, according to the current speed, how could it arrive in Liucheng early tomorrow morning.
Lin Ke is not in a hurry, he has been in this world for half a year, but things always happen one by one, and he needs a little time to calm down and think about some problems.
His current strength on the surface is that of the wind magician at the peak of the fourth order of bear power, and before he grows strong enough, the wind magic will be all the power he exerts in front of people, and the dark magic that has secretly grown to the peak of the fifth order of the amazing bear power can only be hidden unless it is forced to do so, as if it does not exist in the first place.
In fact, Lin Ke's usual cultivation is only for the magic energy of the wind system, and his hard work is never inferior to anyone, but the strange thing is that often when he feels that the strength of the wind system has improved, the strength of the dark system will also rise, Wendell This guy did not tell him what the Pope of the Dark Church should be like The cultivation state, but it is impossible to think of a good thing like him who picked up the same strength with half the effort, and for this, he can only attribute himself to the unclear black stone in the depths of his soul.
In addition, Lin Ke was eager to go to the God of War Academy instead of waiting for a few more years, in addition to the better environment there and more suitable for cultivation, it was also an important reason to learn some systematic magic knowledge as soon as possible and reserve some magic skills that could be used in the future.
Thinking of this, he had to complain about the cultivation "education" of this world The problem is that there are usually some books on the basic skills and cultivation methods of the major professions in the Xiong Power Realm, but once it comes to the Great Power Realm, there are very few books and scrolls and other materials that the family can keep, not to mention the Dragon Power Realm above it, even a Dragon Power Realm powerhouse like Rhine who has been in the army for many years, because he does not have the support of a powerful family with a long inheritance behind him, there are very few combat skills that are suitable for the Giant Power Realm, and there is only one Dragon Power Realm combat skill used as a killer weapon, and he looks proud when he says itγ
The spellcasters are slightly better, although the magic books of the Great Power Realm of various departments are rare, they can often be purchased or exchanged for some, but the magic books of the Dragon Power Realm are really not much better than the combatants, so that many magicians of the Dragon Power Realm are still using the magic of the Great Power Realm, and it is good to exert half of their strength.
The various situations are complicated, but in terms of the experience of Lin Ke's previous life, the reason can be summed up in only four words - self-cherishing of the broom.
