This lord is very scientific.

That night, the purchasing team finally returned to Azan Castle.

At this time, there were rows of guards standing outside Azan Castle, some holding swords and spears, and some holding bows and arrows.

It was the guard team that Lin Ke had trained. The entire guard team had been divided by him into four teams: knives, swords, spears, and bows and arrows.

The eldest lady Antova and Butler Billy are waiting outside the castle.

Lin Ke and Fulong were both tired.

The lady seemed to have cried too, her eyes were red, and she didn't seem to be faking it.

Even Butler Billy, who was always polite, frowned a little.

The entire Azan Castle was shrouded in the dark clouds of Garosei's desperate situation.

"Lin Ke, it's great that you can come back safely."

The eldest lady Antova's eyes were red from crying. She first told Lin Ke, and then quickly went to see Furlong's condition.

Seeing the eldest lady's expression of pear blossoms and rain, Lin Ke couldn't help but soften her heart.

Garosset is in a desperate situation, so the eldest lady must be sad too, right?

However, the eldest lady seems to have secretly exchanged letters with Baron Puxin...

It is a pity that as a noble, Lin Ke can only apply for the trial of other nobles by the noble council when there is clear evidence, not to mention that he does not have enough evidence.

In addition, the eldest lady Antova is the wife of Viscount Garrosse, and Baron Puxin is not a weak noble, at least in the Azan territory.

If a civilian dared to plot against him, Lin Ke would have dealt with it long ago.

But again, Lin was a nobleman and the eldest son of Garose.

Everything he has now comes from his identity rather than his own strength.

If he killed Pu Xin regardless of the rules, he probably wouldn't live long.

Even more so if you want to kill the eldest lady.

So he could only endure it and wait for Garose to come back, or wait for him to become stronger, so that he could naturally deal with the hidden danger of Pu Xin and the eldest lady Antova.

Although Furlong was there, Lin Ke would not kill Antova. At most, she would be whipped dozens of times and then exiled.

As for Baron Puxin...

Lin Ke was going to ask Butler Billy to write some information and send it to the noble council composed of the nobles of the Azane family to try Pu Xin.

Of course, Lin Ke could already imagine the result of "officials protecting each other". Without Garose, the other nobles of Azane still don't know whether they would turn to him.

However, he will have to liquidate these things when he becomes stronger in the future!

At the moment, he not only has to grow up, but also needs to guard against sneak attacks from other nobles in Azan!

Yes, be prepared for sneak attacks by his relatives!

You know, if Garrose dies, then Lin Ke will become the only viscount heir.

But if Lin Ke dies, the heir to the Viscount may be other nobles from Azane.

The orthodox viscount of the Gula Kingdom, this is an unimaginable resource and wealth, and those short-sighted nobles will definitely be tempted.

"Master Lin Ke, I must not move even an inch from now on..."

At this time, Butler Billy seemed to be thinking about Lin Ke. He came over with a frown and whispered in Lin Ke's ear.

What he wanted to say was to protect Lin Ke at all times.

But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Lin Ke: "Uncle Billy, you need to protect my mother. Teacher Aofu is with me for my safety."

Lin Ke glanced at the roof of the castle above his head. There was a huge momentum emanating from it unbridled. The higher the level of professionals, the more clearly they would feel it.

Off's breath.

Off doesn't like crowds of people, especially people he doesn't know.

So he flew to the top of the castle to guard, meditate and practice, and shocked Xiao Xiao.

"Your Excellency Auf is here, um... okay then..."

Billy glanced at the top of the castle, felt the momentum, and nodded.

In his protection sequence, Lin Ke ranked second, the first was Garose, and then Furlong and the others.

But now that Off is here, Billy feels a little more relieved.

"Xiao Linke, come to my room later and I want to tell you something."

The eldest lady Antova comforted Furlong and whispered to Lin Ke.

"Okay..." Lin Ke narrowed his eyes.

See you in the picture? Under Off's nose?

No, probably not.

But now that he could no longer stimulate Furlong, Lin Ke had no choice but to respond and then go back together.

John and the others all went to bed, and Butler Billy was handling various supplies and supplies brought back by the purchasing team.

As for Aof, Lin Ke saw Aof's figure at the top of the castle.

So an hour later, Lin Ke entered the castle with confidence and came to the door of the eldest lady's room.

As soon as they reached the door, the eldest lady's voice came: "Come in."

Lin Ke pushed the door and opened it directly.

The eldest lady was sitting on the table in front of the balcony, staring blankly at the night sky outside, the cool breeze blowing her skirt.

"Xiao Linke, do you know that I treat you as my own child?" The eldest lady looked at the dark night, with her back to Lin Ke, and said in a daze.

Lin Ke felt calm in his heart, but he said on the face: "You are my mother's sister, I also call you aunt."

The eldest lady sighed after hearing this, and turned to look at Lin Ke: "Lin Ke, if your father returns to the glorious land of Azan's ancestors, then you will immediately inherit the position of Viscount. Are you... ready? ?"

Speaking of the death of Garosset, the eldest lady's eyes turned red again.

Lin Ke's heart softened slightly and he nodded: "I know a little bit."

The eldest lady was not as fragile as Furlong, but she immediately calmed down her temper, took a deep breath, and said: "As the future Viscount Azane, you must know something."

At this point, Lin Ke knew what the eldest lady meant when she asked him to come.

They already believe that Garosei is in danger, so they are preparing for the future.

You must know that on weekdays, the normal operation of Azan Castle relies on the eldest lady and Butler Billy.

At the same time, there are also correspondence with relatives, contacts with other nobles, etc.

"Auntie, tell me." Lin Ke rarely used honorifics.

After all, the eldest lady seems to support him becoming the next viscount.

Maybe this is a smart person. With Fulon here, Lin Ke will not do anything to the eldest lady, but if an Azan noble from other places becomes a viscount, then the eldest lady will be in danger.

So it's normal for the eldest lady to support him.

As for dealing with the eldest lady...

Unless the eldest lady really does something extraordinary, in that case Lin Ke can create some "accidents" to deal with her.

But so far, the eldest lady has not done anything extraordinary. The only time she tried to kill him was when she tried to kill him when she was a child.

This communication with Baron Puxin was also full of doubts. Looking back later, Lin Ke was not sure whether the eldest lady really wanted to kill him.

"By the way... Baron Sandile has been very respectful to us all these years. I didn't know that he would do such a thing." Judging from her expression, the eldest lady was a little unbelievable and a little scared, as if she was explaining. What.

Lin Ke said nothing, thinking deeply.

"My lovely Lin Ke and sister Furlong will come to Parrot City tomorrow."

It's also possible that the original intention was just some teasing or a prank.

Or... the parchment might mean that Pu Xin should treat them well.

Is this true?

Lin Ke did not react to the eldest lady's words.

Seeing this, the eldest lady continued: "As the heir, I think you need to be wary of Baron Sandil and the others, but other things are more important."

"The first thing is...gold coins."

As soon as she mentioned the gold coins, she immediately frowned: "Our farm has a lot of income, enough for our castle to stand in the Gula Kingdom, but... I'm afraid that other people will be jealous!"

Lin Ke nodded slightly: "Mom, as long as my teacher is here, there shouldn't be anyone who turns a blind eye in a short time." He briefly talked about Aofu's anger.

"Lord Auf is so powerful..." The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but immediately frowned and said: "But, we often have contact with the Deep Blue Duke, will that noble noble covet us..."

Dark Blue Archduke?

The Deep Blue Duke who created a powerful monster like the "Dark Blue Giant Tiger" and was entrenched in the east actually had contact with one of their little viscounts?

Lin Ke frowned: "The Grand Duke's status is higher than that of the Duke, so he shouldn't covet him..."

Lin Ke's tone was also a little uncertain.

"But... we owe Grand Duke Deep Blue money, a lot of money..." The First Lady sighed again:

"The establishment of Garosei's Torrent Knights back then was due to the funding of the Deep Blue Archduke..."

"This time Garosei went to the plane to fight because he wanted to find valuable things and return them to the Deep Blue Archduke..."

Creditor?

This is difficult to handle.

Lin Ke pondered for a few seconds and asked, "How much is it?"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins." The eldest lady said a heavy number: "And the agreement is to pay it back at the end of this year."

Two hundred and eighty thousand...gold coins...

If Garros was in front of him, Lin Ke might go up and give him two punches.

"So... in the end, the most important thing is the gold coins..." Lin Ke said.

Auf is safe, so don't worry for now.

So in the final analysis, what the castle has to worry about most is money!

No wonder, no wonder the eldest lady was picky at many places before. It turned out to be because the deadline was approaching!

At the end of the year, there are only a few months left, and December here is the month of abundance.

It will be the day for Garrosi to return, but what if Garossei doesn't have that much money?

Headache.

"Of course……"

The eldest lady looked at Lin Ke's contemplative look, with a look of distress in her eyes. The frown on her face disappeared, and she tried her best to let out a chuckle that didn't sound like a chuckle:

"You don't have to think too much about money. As long as I'm here, I can just ask for some from the Brando family. What you have to do now is to become a powerful professional like your father."

Lin Ke looked up at the eldest lady, her face was pretending to be strong and stubborn.

"I will work hard." Lin Ke looked into Madam's eyes and said that he was already a professional.

"The next thing that is more important is that after the end of the Fruitful Moon, there will be monsters coming out of the Great Swamp, and we need to defend them. This is one of the missions of Azan Castle standing on the edge of the Great Swamp."

The eldest lady spoke again: "Of course, not many. In fact, there are enough people in the village."

Lin Ke felt a little heavier after hearing this.

It turns out that when winter was coming, the eldest lady would always go to Parrot City and hire some mercenaries.

It turns out that the mercenaries were hired to exterminate the monsters.

However, it is now approaching the end of July, Garosei has five months to return, and the month of plenty ends at the end of December.

His father should be able to come back in time

Bar?

"Not only that, every six years, there will be a wave of monsters. Last time, your father solved the wave of monsters. If he can't come back this time, we will be the only ones to face it."

The eldest lady looked solemn, and her fair face was full of worry.

Warcraft tide...

Lin Ke didn't know what to say.

It turns out that Viscount Garross came back this year not only because he wanted to enlighten his bloodline, but also because he wanted to deal with the wave of monsters that occurs every six years.

but……

This time there's Auf.

With Teacher Aofu's strength, as long as there are no too strong monsters in the Great Swamp monster wave, it can be solved.

Garose is only a few levels up, he can handle it, and Auf can do it too.

"I...I will also find a way." Lin Ke's eyes were firm.

Nobles have rights but also obligations.

He enjoys the love and support of his subjects, but he should also take responsibility. This is one of his principles as a man.

The eldest lady avoided Lin Ke's eyes and waved her hand:

"Okay, go back and rest. Your task now is to grow. Leave the rest to me and your mother. I just hope you won't be too proud after you become a professional. I will solve these problems."

The eldest lady turned around and continued to stare at the moon in a daze.

So, Lin Ke went back full of worries.

Debt, Warcraft, war...and the curse one year later...

Curse, Lin Ke asked Aofu.

Even someone as powerful as Aofu failed to discover the "curse" on him, so Lin Ke could only place his hope on others.

The curse of the King of Gods is still a very important thing.

Otherwise, after a year, those who sense the aura of the heir to the King of Gods will probably come.

…

The next day, on the large lawn in front of Azan Castle, guards, servants and slaves were building a square wooden platform.

The wood of the wooden platform is made from century-old trees in the southern forest. It is very strong and has many huge stone supports underneath.

In addition to people, there are hundreds of densely packed servants of truth transporting trees and other things back and forth.

Auf controls these first-level servants of truth in the sky.

Lin Ke stood next to the wooden platform, with Billy the Butler, John and Nicks behind him.

"Uncle Billy, is my mother okay?" Lin Ke asked softly, always worried about Fulon's condition.

"The second lady, accompanied by the eldest lady, is reading interesting books and enjoying delicious morning tea." Billy bowed in response.

There are two faint dark circles on Billy's face. It can be seen that he worked for a long time last night and dealt with several first-level professionals sent by the baron.

Moreover, the news must be blocked to prevent chaos inside Azan Castle and the five villages.

"Okay." Lin Ke nodded slightly.

In the end, he directly guaranteed to Fulon that Garose would definitely return within this year, and he also guaranteed it in the name of Auf.

At first, Fron and Antova didn't believe it, but when Aof personally said there was news, they became half-convinced.

At the very least, normal life can be maintained.

Thinking that his mother's smile and innocence had returned, Lin Ke was happy, so he smiled and asked Nicks: "Nix, have all the village households been notified? People in five villages."

"Notification, Mr. Lin Ke, I ran all morning today and just finished the notification."

Knicks didn't feel particularly tired, probably because he was so fast.

Moreover, this large grassland is actually not far from those villages, and you can even see smoke from cooking fires from a distance.

"Okay, let's start in the evening."

Lin Ke nodded.

There are five villages near Azan Castle, and these five villages are basically self-sufficient.

It takes a long time to go to Parrot City to buy some daily necessities, and sometimes I will go with the Azan Castle purchasing team.

These villages cultivate their own land and grow food, vegetables and fruits.

Except in the winter when you need to go to Parrot City to recruit low-level professionals to resist some beasts or monsters in the Everglades, other times it is as peaceful and beautiful as a paradise.

However, in Lin Ke's opinion, this is simply such a waste!

Those energetic and strong young men do farm work all day long, then shyly tease the little girls, and consume their energy with traditional arts at night.

Those little girls who are conscientious, meticulous, and ingenious are teased openly or shyly all day long, and then do some farm work with low physical requirements.

Such a waste!

These are all leeks... Bah, these are all human resources!

The capitalists in the previous life must have shed a lot of tears at the corners of their mouths when they saw so many idle people here.

Lin is not a capitalist, nor does he plan to develop a career as a [capitalist] here. He just wants to make money to pay off his debts.

Two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins is not a small amount. What if the Dark Blue Justice is really short of money and the army invades the border?

Off could protect him under reasonable circumstances, but it was hard for Off to say anything when he was in debt and repaid.

Therefore, Lin Ke is doing this business now just to make money!

At the end of the year, pay back the money.

Just thinking about it makes me feel stressed, even more stressful than those mortgage dogs in my previous life.

Antova and Furlong are unlikely to be relied upon, and they will probably end up selling off their property, or the eldest lady will borrow money from her parents' family.

Therefore, Lin Ke could only think of ways on his own, such as opening a factory, such as...entertainment.

Build a stage, a stage.

Of course, in addition to making money, the stage is also about the career Lin Ke envisioned for himself - [Inventor].

After thinking for a long time, Lin Ke finally decided that he wanted to be an [inventor]!

Yes, invention!

If the skill of [Scholar] is to gain enough insights through activities such as research and study.

In Lin Ke's imagination, the profession of "inventor" is to obtain feedback through activities such as invention and creation.

For example, the "power superposition" skill in the first skill slot of Auf [Scholar] is actually a combination of pulleys, friction and force angle.

A wisp of weak thunder and lightning was released from the skill slot and turned into a thunder and lightning that penetrated more than a dozen trees.

Lin Ke was looking forward to the prosperous technological age in his previous life. If he were to create it with the two professions of [Inventor] and [Scholar], he would be able to comprehend any skills.

In other words, inventing a rule, inventing a law...this is also an invention, right?

As for the bloodline that [The Inventor] relies on, he has thought about it, and that is the "lucky" bloodline.

One bloodline can actually rely on multiple bloodlines, but if there are too many professions that draw energy from the bloodline, the bloodline will be overwhelmed.

The bloodline is like a relay, storing the various energies that Lin Ke usually captures, and then converting them into professional energy or magic energy when Lin Ke needs to use them.

Therefore, in order to prevent the "knowledge" bloodline from being drained, Lin Ke plans to find the [Inventor] profession in the "lucky" bloodline.

The premise is that if he can correctly figure out the trait ratio of [Inventor].

There are too many professions in Nasenge, but they are all controlled by major forces.

Even a level 19 expert like Aofu cannot obtain some common professions, such as [Knight].

First, Auf didn't go out to look for it, and second, he was unwilling to join any force.

Even the materialist school behind him is just equivalent to that kind of interest club, which is just a group of people with common interests who sometimes hold friendly exchanges.

In this environment of knowledge monopoly, if Lin Ke can create some strong professions, he might be able to form a powerful force in the future.

Don't forget, his third bloodline is the "leader" bloodline.

"Xiao Lin... come up here."

At this time, Aofu suddenly called Lin Ke from above, and then a servant of truth came to Lin Ke's feet.

Lin Ke stepped on it, and his body was carried up to fly towards Aofu.

From the perspective of those down at Azan Castle...

His young master had his hands behind his back, and his expensive aristocratic service with fiery red patterns was blown elegantly by the wind.

The young master closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about complex and philosophical issues. His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyebrows were fluttering, and his body was straight and straight.

It's so cute! Handsome breasts.

Some young, rough-skinned, freckle-covered, muscular maids looked at her carefully.

Maids also have to do hard work, and they are always not as good-looking as those noble girls who are always taking care of themselves, but this does not mean that they don't like handsome guys.

What's more, someone like my young master is handsome, has a good family background, is talented, has a powerful teacher, and will definitely have a lot of money and skills in the future.

Simply a human quality male.

…

"Xiao Linke, can you tell me what you want to do?"

Auf still controls the servants of truth and does not affect his speech.

When Lin Ke heard Aofu's voice, he opened his eyes that had been blown open by the wind. He moved his body, which he had not dared to move at all, and became a little stiff.

This is his first time flying!

If he knew that the servants would stare at him even if he flew, he would probably die of embarrassment.

"Teacher, I have a lot of ideas about some professional characteristics." Without waiting for Aof to ask, Lin Ke first expressed his thoughts.

He didn't intend to hide it from Aof. After Aof regarded him as his own, he truly accepted Aof in his heart.

"Create a career?"

When Aofu heard this, he was slightly interested, and he forgot about what he originally wanted to ask Lin Ke.

ps: It’s the end of the month! The monthly pass is about to expire! Why don't you give it to me~ Hey hey~
