Chapter 44: Neighbors
The city of Basil is a great northern province with the ancient Jax family in the northwest province, and the Jax family can be regarded as the emperor of the soil. At the annual Jax family gathering, the children of various collateral families rushed to the provincial capital from all over the country.
To the northeast of the provincial capital, the ancient castle occupies an extremely large area, where the Jax family is located.
On the 14th day of the 1000811 month of the Magnolia calendar, on this day, the Jax family is three times more colorful guards than in the past, and there are often family children from all over the world.
"Sister, the clan's castle is much bigger than ours, at least ten times larger. Keane sighed as he looked out through the carriage window.
Inside the carriage were Keane, Erin, and Gianni.
Jenny also looked out through the window and nodded, "There are obviously many more masters in the clan than ours, but I don't know if Grandpa will attend the party this time." ”
The grandfather that Jenny is talking about is McKenxie.
McKenheey doesn't necessarily attend the annual family gathering, but McKenheey has appeared once in the previous two years. That time made Gianni and Keane fulfill their desire to meet the heroes they worshipped.
"Chances are, Irene, I've never seen Grandpa. Keane shook his wife's hand.
The convoy arrived at the gate of the castle in a blink of an eye, and naturally stopped, and Gianni, Keane, and Erin also knew the rules, and they all got out of the carriage in turn.
"Jenny!" a cheerful, flirtatious voice rang out.
Gianni frowned at the voice, but still squeezed out a smile. Turning his head to look at the shiny young man standing at the gate of the castle who could be used as a mirror: "Cousin Albert." ”
"Cousin Albert. Keane and Erin saluted.
Albert also looks like a human dog, and his education since childhood has also made him have the temperament of an ancient nobleman. Just by looking at the eyes and face, you can judge that this person must like beauty, which has caused the body to be hollowed out.
However, Albert, the eldest son of the patriarch of the Jax family, is also the first heir.
The future patriarch of the Jax family. With such an identity, who would dare to underestimate Albert?
"Gianni is getting prettier every year, Keane, Irene. Don't stand here stupidly, come in. Albert enthusiastically led Gianny's group into the castle.
......
Because the family gathering was on November 15th, it was not on the entire Jax family's castle that was more lively than ever.
"Sister, what about Albert?"
In Gianney's room, Keane walks in and sighs when he sees Gianni standing at the window. I knew a little bit about what Gianni was thinking.
Gianni glanced back at his brother, frowned, and said, "That Albert has always had bad intentions, and every time he attended a family gathering, he came over to pester. It's been a hard time these days. ”
"Sister. Keane held his sister's hand and said apologetically, "I know my sister is here to stay with me for a few more days, otherwise, my sister would probably have left with Brother Lei." ”
"Keane. Gianni petted Keane's head dotingly. "Keane is taller than his sister. ”
Keane bowed his head in silence.
Gianni has been taking care of Keane since he was a child, and since he arrived in the Holy Alliance, his mother has been seriously ill and bedridden. Gianni is like a mother, who cares for Keane.
The relationship between sister and brother is really deep.
"Jenny, cousin Jenny. Albert's voice rang out again.
Keane and Gianni both frowned, and there was a hint of unhappiness on their faces. This Albert is really as annoying as a fly.
In the blink of an eye, Albert was at the door of the room.
"Gianni, oh. Keane is there, too. Albert smiled and said, "Gianni, I'm having a small banquet in the back hall. Jenny, let's go and join us, I've got a couple of beautiful evening dresses. ”
Gianni shook his head: "No need, I'm a little dizzy and unwell." ”
"Why is it uncomfortable, let me take a look?" Albert was about to step forward and touch Gianney's forehead, and Gianni immediately took two steps back.
Keane chuckled beside him and said, "Cousin Albert, sister, she is not feeling well, you can let her rest here." ”
Albert stayed where he was for a moment, smiled and nodded, "That's good." Then he stared at Keane, "Keane, come out with me, cousin Jenny, you have a good rest, and if you need anything, just give your orders." He glanced at Keane.
Keane nodded, and went out with Albert.
In the garden.
Albert walked with Keane, silent, and Keane could only remain silent.
After a long time......
"Keane, how is the local Lord of the County feeling?" Albert asked abruptly.
Keane was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "It feels okay." ”
Albert smiled and nodded: "Of course, it manages millions of people, Keane, you must know that there are only ten counties in the entire Northwest Province. The lord of the county town, this is a fat shortage. Many people are staring at that position, after all, our Jax family is a big family. ”
Keane nodded thoughtfully.
The Jax family is constantly branching out, and naturally there are more and more people from generation to generation. Keane's father, Earl Wade, was lucky enough to get the position of lord of the county because of his close relationship with the patriarch of the current family.
In fact, the position of the lord of this county town is completely determined by the patriarch of Jax.
After all, the Northwest Province is controlled by the Jax family.
"Keane, you should know that many of my younger siblings are adults, such as my third brother, who is now only a squadron leader in the City Guard. These people really want to be the lord of the county. Albert looked at Keane with a smirk.
Keane understood what Albert meant.
"Not only my brothers and sisters, but also my uncles, they didn't compete with your father back then, but they never gave up. ”
Albert looked at Keane, "Keane, I'm optimistic about you. But you should know that, too. To get, you have to give. ”
Keane was silent.
"Keane, you can sit in the position of the city lord, but I, the future patriarch, can also let you down. Seeing that Keane was silent, Albert couldn't help but say coldly.
"Cousin Albert, just say what you want. Keane said with a small smile.
Albert laughed: "Haha, you're my cousin, of course I won't force you." I just thought, let's kiss and kiss, like. Let your sister marry me too. What do you think?"
Keane felt angry
He had long known Albert's intentions, Gianni was the kind of gentle, beautiful, and kind woman, and her temperament became more and more charming after cultivating water magic.
Albert kept watching.
But Albert is now in his thirties and has three wives. Even if his sister marries Albert, she is just filling the house.
What's more, my sister is going to go with Lin Lei.
"Cousin Albert, I told you in the past. Sister, she has someone she likes. Keane said helplessly.
"Jokes. Albert sneered, "Keane, if your sister has someone she likes, why haven't you married yet? ”
Albert had been thinking of Jenny, a beautiful woman and a magician. You must know that after cultivating magic, this lifespan will become longer. It is estimated that even at the age of sixty or seventy, Gianni is still at most a thirty-year-old young woman. Such a wife, of course Albert thought.
"Can't be killed. The person my sister likes is a ninth-level powerhouse. Keane said with a hard heart.
"Rank 9 powerhouse?" Albert raised his eyebrows.
This is troublesome, if he Albert is the current patriarch, he can call on the strongest guard of the family to kill a ninth-level powerhouse. But he is only an heir, and there are very few people who can call him. The strength is not too strong.
"Keane, don't lie. Albert gave Keane a cold look.
Keane bowed slightly: "Cousin Albert, I'm definitely not lying. My sister likes him. I can't do anything, cousin Albert, I won't bother you, I'll take my leave. ”
Albert snorted coldly and watched Keane leave.
"It's been five years. Albert looked in the direction of Gianni's room, "This time, Gianni will never be allowed to slip away again." What about a ninth-level powerhouse, who dares to come to my Jax family to spread wild?" Albert had a wolf-like ferocity in his eyes.
On the fifteenth, Lin Lei went to the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's station in the morning, and sent a person to Yunfeng Town through the elder token, and told Seisler and the others the news that he had postponed his return.
After that, Lin Lei stayed quietly in the Nair Hotel.
At the back of the Nair Hotel there are more than a dozen separate courtyards, which belong to the high-class residences, and Lin Lei lives in one of them.
In the courtyard, Lin Lei finished carving a stone sculpture, and then held a black jade heavy sword and danced freely in the courtyard.
Beibei and Heiru were lazily lying on the ground.
After dancing for a long time, Lin Lei stopped, thinking in his heart: "It's been more than a year since I reached the peak of the eighth level, and in the past month, I always feel like I want to break through, but it's always a little bit worse." ”
For ordinary people, there may not be much difference between the peak of the eighth level and the ninth level.
But for the ultimate warrior, the peak of the eighth level is too different from the ninth level. As soon as you enter the ninth level, you will step into the holy realm after the dragon.
"Don't be impatient, my cultivation speed is already very fast. Lin Lei's heart was quite calm, looking at the south, Lin Lei thought of his younger brother Wharton again, "When I reach the ninth level, I will set off for the imperial capital to see my brother." It's been a long, long time since I've seen Wharton. ”
The two brothers have not seen each other since Wharton left home at the age of six and left for the O'Brien Empire with his butler, Grandpa Ciri.
And now Wharton is twenty-two years old, and in a little more than a month he will be twenty-three years old.
"Huh?" Lin Lei suddenly turned his head to look at the courtyard wall.
The courtyards of the hotel are close to each other, and a courtyard wall separates the two courtyards, and at this time, the guests in the courtyard next to Lin Lei are climbing on the courtyard wall, and their heads are looking through the wall to this side.
This guest was a cute elven girl, and her dark eyes were looking at Lin Lei, and then locked onto the black-veined clouded leopard lying on the ground.
"Wow, what a leopard. The girl jumped off the courtyard wall with great dexterity, and then ran towards Heiru.
"Don't touch. Lin Lei stopped.
The girl stopped, smiled at Lin Lei and said, "Big brother, I haven't seen such a cute and big black leopard." Can you let me touch it?"
The girl had silver hair, her eyes were very smart, she often had a mischievous smile on her face, and she was dressed as a warrior.
Lin Lei looked at the silver-haired girl scrutinically.
Although it is difficult to completely judge the strength of a warrior from his appearance, Lin Lei can judge from this girl's aura that this girl is at least a seventh-level warrior, or even higher.
"Heiru doesn't like to be touched. Lin Lei said indifferently.
The silver-haired girl couldn't help frowning, then her nose wrinkled and she snorted, "I don't believe it, my teacher's demonic beasts often touch me." With that, the silver-haired girl rushed straight to Heilu.
"Roar~~" Hei Lu stood up suddenly, revealing his sharp fangs, and staring at the silver-haired girl with cold eyes.
The silver-haired girl was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back.
"As I said, Heiru doesn't like to be touched. Okay, you better go back to your own place. Lin Lei directly ordered the eviction of customers.
The silver-haired girl smiled at Lin Lei and said, "I heard from the master, the leopard monster is very powerful, then your strength must be very strong, big brother." Can I ask you for advice?"
"Asking for advice?" Lin Lei didn't like his life to be disrupted by others.
"First of all, I will introduce myself, my name is Light Blue. The silver-haired girl said with cute squints.
"You can call me Ray, but I don't have time. You'd better go back. Lin Lei still said very indifferently, a girl, but at least a seventh-level warrior.
It's not easy.
The silver-haired girl pouted helplessly: "Oh, I know." Then she turned around, but she was troubled in her heart: "This Lin Lei is really indifferent, it's difficult to get close, but I won't give up so easily, I can simply kill him as easy as possible." ”
This silver-haired girl is none other than Lan Tang.
It's just that in terms of temperament, Lan Tang has changed too much, and the cold angel at the beginning has now become cute and lively. I have to say that she is very good at acting.
"Ah, Brother Lei, you know how to carve stone. Lan Tang saw a stone sculpture completed by Lin Lei next to him, and immediately ran over excitedly, staring at the stone sculpture excitedly, "My teacher likes stone carving the most, but he doesn't know how to carve." As he spoke, Lan looked at the stone sculpture curiously.
Lin Lei's brows furrowed.
This silver-haired teenage girl is really annoying!
