This cocktail party actually brought a strong military atmosphere.

Because the largest wave of people in the venue stood upright one by one, a self-evident temperament squeezed a group of sons and brothers into the corner.

Most of these people are middle-aged, some of them look younger like Lev and have probably entered the realm of the Great Power Realm, and some of them look slightly old and have not yet entered the level of the Great Power Realm, Lin Ke greeted the past one by one under the leadership of Lev, they are all elders, and most of them are still serving in the army, but it is enough to let Lin Ke see the corner of the circle of the Mutes family in the army, which is enough to be shocked.

Everyone and Jason are obviously very familiar with each other, one by one does not treat themselves as outsiders at all, but there are also many praises and criticisms of Lin Ke's eldest nephew, which makes Lin Ke feel a little emotional and moved for a while, and the feelings in the army are often more sincere and frank, even if many years have passed, the friendship between the past will not change, which is why the aristocratic power of the army alone can compete with the political system aristocracy in the five major fields of wealth, politics, industry, law, and foreign affairs.

But after all, it was a generation behind, Xu saw Linko's restraint, and Lev interjected and asked Linko to talk more to the young people, and the latter took the opportunity to salute and slip away.

When Lin Ke walked away, Lev sighed deeply and said, "I really don't know where Jason is so blessed, not to mention marrying a wife like a flower, and giving birth to such an outstanding son, it's really enviable." ”

"Serena's girl is not very easy to control, and Jason is the most suitable for her, if you change Lev, it will be strange if you fight at the end of the day in three days," another sturdy middle-aged man smiled, "But Cohen is really good, Jason is so blessed, and the Mutes family is blessed." ”

Everyone nodded, their expressions complicated.

Lin Ke glanced at Xue'er, who was unique and elegant in the circle of ladies from a distance, hesitated for a moment and did not step forward, but took a corner of the red wine and let out a long breath on the sofa, it turned out that he was more disgusted with this kind of occasion than he imagined, raised his right hand and rubbed his stiff cheeks, but was suddenly scalded by something!

Lin Ke shrank his hand and was stunned, it was the ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and it was also the only jewelry that Lin Ke was wearing on his right hand now.

He was shocked and then delighted, and then emotionally complicated.

With his current strength, he is not qualified to use the dotting, even if it is just to use it on ordinary people, it needs at least the power of the Great Power Realm, but this does not prevent him from envoy Wendell who has cast the dotted person back then, he once said that there must still be elite characters in this world who have not been cleansed by the power of the Church of Light, and Lin Ke has not speculated that it is very likely that he will have his back hand in the imperial capital of the God of War Empire, but every time he thinks of this, he can think of Wendell's repeatedly tangled expression, he hopes that Lin Ke can get these helps, but he also hopes that they can really get rid of the control of the dark church after his death, which will never see the lightand be themselves.

Lin Ke shook the red wine in his glass, swept around without a trace, and then he and he looked at him, and each understood some complex meaning.

Lin Ke got up and walked to an empty balcony to make a look of wanting to breathe, and then, the man also happened to end the conversation and planned to rest for a while, so the two people who should have no intersection at all in this world "accidentally" came together, and they got acquainted naturally.

He is a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure but not too bloated, his short blond hair is very neatly groomed, his eyes are large and energetic under his thick eyebrows, and his high nose bridge and slightly thick lips make him look energetic and at the same time reveal a sense of steadfastness and reliability.

"You are the famous Young Master Cohen of the Mutes family," the middle-aged man was the first to speak, his attitude was a little humble, and his eyes casually glanced at the ring on Lin Ke's right hand, "It's really extraordinary." ”

"You have won the award, but it is just a small matter that coincides with the meeting, and it is not worth mentioning," Lin Ke's eyes were extremely complicated, and he hesitated for a long time before continuing, "You are a businessman?"

"Yes, there are a few not very large haute couture clothing stores for the aristocracy, you can come and see them if you are interested," the middle-aged man's voice was very strong, "My name is Lance Morin, I think you will be able to use it." ”

"It just so happens that I need to make some clothes for a friend that will fit the table, and I think I might take the liberty of visiting tomorrow afternoon, I wonder if you have time," Lin said.

"Haha, no businessman will refuse to deliver business to the door, especially a distinguished guest like you, tomorrow at noon I will send someone to pick you up at the Mutes family chamber of commerce, I think you and your friends will have a fun afternoon," the middle-aged man Lance smiled, and after taking a deep look at the ring on Lin Ke's right hand again, he raised his glass slightly and took a sip of red wine and said, "A few of my friends have been waiting for a long time, and they have lost their company first, so we will see you tomorrow." ”

"See you tomorrow," Lin Ke raised his glass slightly, shook it, but didn't drink it.

Looking at Lance, who was chatting with everyone not far away, his eyes were deep.

The first, the apostles.

――――――――――――――――――――

In an unknown courtyard in the imperial capital, two old men with white hair are drinking tea opposite, chatting from time to time, which is very pleasant.

A slender figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard out of thin air, and then knelt on the ground, but the two old men did not have the slightest expression of surprise.

"Great Elder, the matter over there in Windy City has been taken care of," the slender figure spoke, and it turned out to be a woman.

"Very well, Lynn, I did that thing so quickly, and I didn't let anyone else find out and leave nothing behind, right?" The Great Elder took a sip of tea and asked two questions in a row.

"This time, the subordinates disguised themselves as business travel guards did not attract much attention, and the reaction of the Mutes family was very calm, but the subordinates found that there was an unknown dark force operating in the Windy City, and their guidance for the public opinion of the Windy City was very strong, which had some impact on our actions, but then the subordinates took advantage of the trend with the help of their guidance of public opinion, which saved a lot of effort," Lin's voice was very flat.

"Oh, a dark force that can influence public opinion in Windy City, interesting, you said to follow the trend, could it be that they are also building momentum for Cohen?"

"Yes, under the impetus of this dark force, Cohen's popularity in Windy City has soared, and it has become the most important topic of conversation after dinner, and his subordinates have only slightly guided him, and they have exaggerated Cohen's deeds to a certain extent, and it can be seen that he still has some good opinion in the minds of the civilians of Windy City," Lin said calmly.

"Well, you go down," the Great Elder waved his hand in contemplation, and Lin disappeared in an instant.

"Big brother, is it necessary to do this, to build momentum for Cohen's little guy in the Windy City?" The other old man was the old man with long eyebrows who appeared over the square on the day of the second round, and the other was the one who was in good spirits.

"It's a fake momentum, but it's true to cover up the information," the Great Elder smiled and said, "It's a precautionary matter. Since Martin has the talent of a peerless genius and is a mid-level fighter of bear power, then Cohen, a spellcaster of the same level, should not be his opponent anyway, but he won, and I also found out that he had suffered some internal injuries in his cultivation before!"

The old man with long eyebrows raised his eyebrows and said no more.

"No matter what, we can't let too many people know about this matter, Old Thirteen, Martin's side will rely on you to suppress it, don't let people know his peerless genius qualifications, at least before their Dragon Power Realm, they can't let people know, this can be regarded as a kind of protection for them," the Great Elder said solemnly.

The old man with long eyebrows nodded, "I plan to send someone to Martin to guide him in his cultivation, at least don't fall too far behind, fortunately, with a goal like Cohen in front, he won't slack off if he thinks about it, I will send someone to tell him." ”

The Grand Elder nodded, and the scene fell silent again.

The two of them drank tea quietly.

――――――――――――――――――――

The frame sent by Lance was a little better than the mammoth that Linko had rented.

It was a rhinoceros-like creature of the same size, shorter than the mammoth, but also stronger, and it was not the same as who was bigger and who was smaller.

But this was a real demonic beast, and Lin Ke felt a burst of earth-attribute energy fluctuations from its body, at least reaching the level of the fifth order of bear power.

In this comparison, the big black horse is really a foal, although it now has the ability of the third order of bear power, it can be regarded as an authentic magical beast.

Under the introduction of the waiter sent by Lance on the frame, Lin Ke learned that Lance's store was a chain store, with one in each of the four major regions of the imperial capital, east, west, north and south, and the largest main store was located in the western district of the imperial capital, not very far from the God of War Academy.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Ke and his party went down the steps, and Lance had already brought some people to greet them at the gate in person, which was the highest level of courtesy.

"Thank you, please make Cohen deeply frightened," Linko walked quickly to Lance and affectionately held his right hand, and the two walked in side by side, as if they had been friends for many years, and as if they had a kind of subordination, because Lance was slightly out of position by half a body, which surprised everyone.

"It's a great honor for Lance to be here, tea has been prepared in the living room, let's go in and talk," Lance kept a very humble attitude.

The living room is very magnificent, and the elegant decoration style and some simple embellishments make it look clean and generous, and Lin Ke likes it at first sight.

Except for Cher and the three who were eligible to enter the parlor, Catwoman was left outside, while Lance was the only one on his side and another pair of young men and women.

And this young man and woman Lin Ke felt the strangeness of the ring when they first met, and they were also "ignited" by Wendell!

After the hall closed, Lance personally opened several magic arrays with security and confidentiality functions, and checked them repeatedly to confirm that they were correct before he crawled in front of Lin Ke in the shocked eyes of everyone, followed by the pair of young men and women.

"Servant Lance and his children to meet his master, may you live a long and happy life!"

There was silence.
