"Ahem." Lin Ke coughed twice in embarrassment: "Well... Your Highness Lika, I can support myself at the moment, so I won't bother you..."
"The coming-of-age ceremony my father promised me was three secondary planes. My mother gave me two, and my brothers would give me one. In addition, I have a county fief in the west of the Endless Mountains." Lika proudly raised her voice.
Pick up your little head.
The hearts of Auf, Furlong and others around them twitched violently after hearing this.
Good guy...
This is a little rich woman.
Lin Ke was ashamed in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "I only have one plane, and it is the one that Viscount Garrosse is currently trapped in. In addition, I currently have no fiefdom and no property..."
Lika heard this and said happily: "Then you will be mine from now on!"
However, Lin Ke shook his head and said: "No, I will not become the belonging of anyone, any living being. When he does not rely on himself to survive in the world, then he is not an independent individual."
Lin Ke looked at Lika: "Do you want me to be that kind of slave?"
"Then I will resist! I will fight to the end and never give in!"
"Furthermore, I don't think the secondary plane is a precious thing. The precious things in my heart come from the care of relatives, the teachings of teachers, self-knowledge and inner strength."
"Please stop insulting me!"
Lin Ke's face tightened.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Lin Ke's words, Lika's eyes lit up even more.
She turned to her housekeeper and said: "Uncle Curry, this man doesn't value my blood nor my money! And... and I really like what he said!"
"Princess, as long as you like it..." The Curry housekeeper did not comment, but warned softly: "Miss, it is better to let Mr. Lin Kexiao finish his work first. Mr. Purple Poison Giant Frog is still waiting.
."
Lika nodded solemnly, returned to her position with stars in her eyes, and waved her hand boldly: "I also want to eat sour cakes, three... no, eight!"
Upon hearing this amount, the eyes of Butler Curry, who had been hiding in the corner like a shadow, lit up, his voice became a little excited, and he said to Lin Ke: "Master Lin Ke, please make sure that our accompanying professional [
Chef] come and learn how to make your 'sour cake'! We can pay you 10,000 gold coins!"
Butler Curry said he would give Lin Ke 10,000 gold coins, just like Lin Ke usually said he would give Granny Xisai a copper plate in an understatement.
Lin Ke's heart twitched and his eyebrows raised: "No problem! I will definitely let my professional nutrition management consultant teach you [chef], and...Uncle Billy, go ask the kitchen to prepare more sour...sour cakes
, the dinner is for Princess Lika to enjoy."
"Professional nutrition management consultant? Okay!" Butler Curry's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had never heard of this term, but it seemed very powerful.
Lin Ke also smiled.
In fact, there is no such thing as a "professional nutritional management consultant", he is just a cook in the kitchen.
But saying this can improve your performance! This will make 10,000 gold coins worth it, right?
But...she is truly worthy of being a princess...
Ten thousand gold coins bought a sour cake recipe, and there was such a thing as a professional [chef] accompanying him.
The Curry housekeeper didn't say much after Lin Ke finished speaking, but bowed his head again and retreated behind Lika.
The so-called purple poisonous giant frog over there stood up when he saw this, bowed respectfully, and said: "Gua, I am here to seek help from the Azan family..."
As he spoke, the giant purple poison frog put its wet three-fingered paw to his mouth and coughed lightly, and said loudly in an aria tone: "The six-year war is about to begin. The Riptide family that borders the lava swamp is burdened!
Take your due responsibilities, follow the waves of the 'Tide Lady', and fight against the stars and the ocean together! Gua!"
After finishing speaking, the Purple Poison Giant Frog coughed twice again and returned to his seat to sit down.
The Riptide family, Azane's original meaning is "Riptide", is the bloodline of a certain Azane ancestor.
Lin Ke, on the other hand, massaged his forehead with a headache and nodded slightly: "We will shoulder our due responsibilities...that...we may need to discuss the specific methods a little more."
At first I thought it was to resist the tide of monsters coming from the lava swamp, but now it seems that we have to fight against the tide of monsters coming from the vast ocean of stars.
"There is still a little bit of croak, respected Mr. Lin Ke..." The giant purple poison frog squatted on the ground like an ordinary frog, looked at him with eyes level with Lin Ke and said: "There are many Warcraft Kings in the lava swamp, Ms. Tide
We can only suppress some of them. If you come out in full force at that time, those rebels may come to attack your territory."
"You mean, there are also monsters coming out of the Great Swamp?" Lin Ke's head hurt.
Indeed it is!
"Yes, unless Ms. Tide can make another breakthrough." The giant purple poison frog nodded.
"Okay, thank you, I understand." Lin Ke was helpless.
Damn it, Azan Castle turns out to be so dangerous...
But he still had no choice but to invite everyone: "If you don't mind, would you like to join me for today's dinner? There will be a performance at the end of the dinner for you to enjoy."
When she heard that she wanted to stay, Rika nodded desperately: "Okay, okay!" But when she heard that she wanted to eat, she immediately pouted: "I need to eat again..."
"I want to go back to the Everglades, and I don't like eating human food very much." The giant purple poison frog bowed politely: "I'm leaving first."
After saying that, the giant purple poison frog walked out the door.
"John, please give this Mr. Purple Poison Giant Frog a favor and walk slower." Lin Ke gave John a look.
John understood immediately and went up to greet him.
"Guys, if you don't mind, we can go and have a rest outside the castle. I will bring some interesting things over later." Lin Ke stood up and made a gesture of invitation, and then said to Billy: "Compare
Uncle Li, please go and make arrangements according to the highest standards for our outings. The teacher and I will go to have something to do, and it will take about ten minutes."
"Okay, young master." Butler Billy bowed and smiled at Earl Ackley and Princess Lika's butler: "Come, three gentlemen, please accompany the head maid of our castle to arrange food and accommodation."
Everyone has some preferences, taboos, etc., and how to avoid these points is one of the required courses for housekeepers.
Earl Akeli's butler was fine, while Lika's butler glanced at another person, and then said apologetically: "I need to protect Her Royal Highness Lika. As for the rest... he is our [chef]
】.”
Butler Billy understood, and then asked the head maid to take a few people away, while he took Lika and the others.
…
Lin Ke and Aofu came out and had a brief exchange, but they didn't have much exchange, and then they flew into the woods together.
"Xiao Linke, what do you want to do?" Aofu was a little curious.
"Chess." Lin Keyan said concisely and to the point.
Very simple.
Play chess!
Originally, Lin Ke didn't attach much importance to these entertainments, but now he thinks that these chess and card activities happen to be played during the gathering of nobles, otherwise it would be too boring and embarrassing to sit there and chat.
Seeing that Lin Ke was confident, Aofu stopped talking and helped Lin Ke to make two chessboards and chess pieces using a tree as raw material.
Auf only used the wind magic "Wind Blade Cutting" to cut three chessboards according to Lin Ke's requirements, polished them smooth, and then cut a few small chess pieces.
"Lin Ke, try using your skills." After finishing, Aofu did not engrave words, but motioned to Lin Ke to start: "Remember, control."
Lin Ke originally wanted to let Auf finish it quickly, but he almost forgot that he was already a Level 2 [Scholar].
His eyes lit up, he squatted down and picked up a log. The "knowledge" bloodline in the soul space began to stir, converting the bloodline energy into professional energy and flowing through his body.
In an instant, the skill slots he constructed were filled with energy and could be released at any time.
Then, he worked hard to control the energy and input it bit by bit, gradually forming a streamlined air pressure shield around him.
However, under his control, the speed of air pressure spread immediately decreased, and then a thin air pressure shield was formed in the air, with high pressure on one side and low pressure on the other.
Then Lin Ke controlled the air pressure to roll it up, just like rolling a piece of paper.
This is a very difficult operation!
You must know that air pressure refers to the atmospheric pressure acting on a unit area, which is numerically equal to the gravity exerted on a vertical air column extending upward to the upper boundary of the atmosphere per unit area.
The palm-sized air pressure sheet is very difficult to control after being rolled up.
Lin Ke held his breath, and even Aofu couldn't help but stare at Lin Ke's operation with wide eyes.
In mid-air, the air pressure sheet gradually rolled up, and finally turned into a sheet the size of two fingers, looking like a large pen.
It's not like Lin Ke never thought about using air pressure to create a pen directly, but the tip of such a pen would not be sharp at all and would not be able to engrave characters.
When Lin Ke successfully rolled up the air pressure pen, both Ao Fu and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Excellent control." Auff praised from the side: "Then, we need to control the intensity and the ability to continue output."
Lin Ke nodded and carefully controlled the air pressure pen to carve words on the log in his hand.
In the end, he became more and more skillful in the operation, and with sawdust flying, he finished carving three sets of chess pieces in a short time.
But I was very tired.
The magic power consumption is not large, but his spirit is simply too tired in that tense state.
"It's done, teacher, let's go." Lin Ke picked up a pair of chess with satisfaction, and Ao Fu also took two pieces and flew towards the castle.
The characters engraved on the chess pieces are basically the same.
The king versus the king, the elephant transforms into an ox, the cannon transforms into a crossbow, and the horse transforms into a demon to represent the ancient magician, and the rest remains basically unchanged.
Although Auf was very curious about chess, he didn't ask too many questions.
Because the task Lin Ke gave him was to treat him as a lonely star-level [scholar] who was hot-tempered and irritable and kept away from strangers, and he would naturally understand it when the time came.
As for Off's character issue... a rational person is certainly likable.
But crazy people who are irritable and irritable will make people fear them.
Before Garrose came back, Lin Ke had to ensure that Azan looked to outsiders like a hedgehog with delicious meat, rather than fat meat with delicious meat.
