Chapter Fifty-Eight: This Imperial Uncle is Amazing
Baron Barney was invited to Pompeii the next day.
Chen Lun came to work on time in the morning, and found a chic carriage at the gate of the manor.
After entering the villa, I saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man, sitting on the sofa and talking and laughing with Viscount Pompeii.
"Come, Barney, I'll introduce you."
Viscount Pompeii enthusiastically introduced Chen Lun to his friends.
"This is the governess I got for Rebecca, Mr. Jack."
"Hello, Mr. Barney."
Chen Lun held out his hand in a friendly manner.
Barney glanced at him a few times, smiled and stretched out his hand.
"It's so young, I didn't expect Mr. Jack to be a scholar at such a young age......"
He immediately turned his head and asked Viscount Pompey in confusion:
"I remember you didn't look for Lady Yulai?"
Viscount Pompeii smiled awkwardly and explained two sentences briefly, understating it.
The Viscount then told Chen Lun that Rebecca had been frightened yesterday and was still resting. He asked Chen Lun to visit the villa by himself, and he could also walk around the manor at will.
With that, he and Baron Barney sat back down on the couch.
Chen Lun heard the subtext of Viscount Pompey, and he didn't want to disturb his conversation with Barney.
"It was yesterday's horse......"
He thought to himself.
Viscount Pompeii would probably ask Barney about this matter, but for the sake of his old friend's face, it was impossible for outsiders to be present.
Chen Lun found Binoz, the butler who was directing the maid to clean up in another hall.
"Steward Binoz."
He stepped forward and said hello.
"Mr. Jack, how can I help you?"
When the old butler saw him, he straightened up and said with a smile.
Through Chen Lun's performance in the past two days, Binoz has changed his opinion of this young man.
It can be seen that the Viscounts Pompeii did not reject him as much as they did at the beginning.
As the steward of the manor, the old man who has experienced two generations of Viscounts of Pompeii will also be more in line with the opinions of his master, and will naturally have a slightly better attitude towards Chen Lun.
"His Excellency the Viscount said that he could let me visit the villa, I want to go to the study to have a look, is that okay?"
Chen Lun said politely.
Binoz gave a blank look.
"Oh, of course, Lord Viscount would not turn away a scholar who loves knowledge......
In particular, he is Miss Rebecca's teacher. ”
The old butler gestured upstairs.
"Come, Mr. Jack, please come with me."
Chen Lun followed the Binoz housekeeper upstairs.
The swirling wooden staircase was spacious and shiny, as the maid wiped them clean every day.
On one side of the second floor, there is an exhibition hall full of artworks.
The old housekeeper didn't stay long, and after taking Chen Lun in, he walked into the other side of the exhibition hall.
"That's it, Mr. Jack. If you need anything, you can come to me. ”
After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly and left.
Chen Lun looked at the room full of books, his eyes lit up.
"Good fellows, so many books...... You've got to get me a book with supernatural knowledge!? ”
Thinking to himself, Chen Lun got started directly.
The study is open on the side of the art gallery, but the interior space is a little larger than the exhibition hall.
A chandelier hangs from the ceiling, consisting of eight light bulbs, which illuminates the entire study. It's empty, with bookcases on all four walls taped to the ceiling, full of tomes of all kinds.
Two wooden ladders are placed on the side for easy access to books. In the middle of the study there is a large desk, several chairs, where you can sit and read and transcribe.
This is very nice for Chen Lun!
Time flies.
Before he finished turning over a wall of books, he picked up a thin book with a yellow coat in his hand and opened it to read.
[You have discovered the Nature Faction Mystery Book!] 】
["On the Survival Instinct" (progress 5%)]
[By reading carefully, you gain 25 experience points]
[You have discovered the knowledge of the hidden transcendent path (complete)!] 】
【Nature Faction Sequence 9 Savages】
Chen Lun's face was overjoyed.
"There really is! And again, a hidden path! ”
Am I of European royal blood?
That has to be!
He took the book in his hand and hurriedly walked down the wooden ladder.
Come and sit down at your desk and read carefully without wasting a single moment.
More than an hour passed.
["On the Survival Instinct" (progress 15%)]
[By reading carefully, you gain 50 experience points]
[Through careful reading, you have experienced and comprehended the skill [The Jungle of the Jungle]! 】
【Jungle Jungle LV1 (Passive)】
Skill description: Years of experience as an animal trainer have given you a deeper understanding of nature.
In the animal world, the law of nature is natural selection.
You can improve your own attributes by observing the survival and reproduction of animals. Limited to Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Charisma, and Insight, with a 1 point increase per cap, which cannot be repeated.
"A support passive skill that boosts your stats?"
Chen Lun was a little surprised.
This type of skill is quite rare, and while the stats you can boost are limited, they are permanent.
Iron also needs its own hardness, and panel attributes are the basis of strength.
He is happy with this skill.
Chen Lun drew 4 skill points to it, and directly rushed to it, instantly full.
【LVMAX (Passive)】
Skill Description: ...... Limited to Strength, Dexterity, Stamina, Charisma, and Insight, with a 5-point cap each, which cannot be repeated.
"Five attributes, each of which can be increased by 5 points, adds up to 25 points......!?"
That's quite a pretty impressive number!
It's almost the same as the gain from rising 10 levels out of thin air.
And it also contains two special attributes, Charisma and Insight. These two attributes cannot be improved through attribute points, and they are very precious.
"Earn big...... Fortunately, the [Destiny Faction] path I took has something in common with this [Natural Faction] path. ”
Chen Lun secretly sighed.
It stands to reason that each sequence can only acquire the skills of its own path through the corresponding transcendent knowledge.
But there are exceptions, such as Chen Lun's current situation.
In his previous life, he had some vague speculations from this phenomenon, perhaps there are unknown connections and secrets between each sequence.
Tuk tuk.
Two gentle knocks on the door.
Chen Lun turned his head to see that the old butler Binoz was standing at the door, making an apologetic gesture.
"Excuse me, Mr. Jack. His Excellency the Viscount invites you to the restaurant for lunch......
In addition, the Viscount's family and Barney will go out in the afternoon to visit the Emerald Zoo.
Your Excellency the Viscount asked you if you would like to go with you? ”
Chen Lun got up and stuffed the yellow book in his hand into a corner of the shelf.
When the hand left, I didn't forget to touch it a few times, and I was reluctant.
"This book is fantastic, I'll pamper you next time......"
Then he turned to the door and smiled politely.
"Of course, I am willing to accompany me, it is my pleasure."
