Lin Ke looked at Viscount Mantis with a half-smile.
He was blocking what Viscount Mantis was saying.
Because he definitely couldn't beat Viscount Mantis, so he could only use his young age to block Viscount Mantis' mouth.
"Humph, you Azan are just like us, right?"
Viscount Mantis counterattacked without hesitation.
Everyone knows that there is a 99% chance that Garose will not come back.
If it weren't for Auf's presence, the Azane territory would most likely shrink and break up into several baronies, and then be either consolidated or eliminated by the surrounding nobles.
If there are one or two Azaans who are unwilling to surrender, they may become some "down-and-out nobles" who are eager to restore their former glory, and one or two protagonists in novels may be born.
However, now.
With Lin Ke's future potential and Aofu's current strength, the surrounding nobles did not dare to act rashly, and even pretended to be friendly and came over to congratulate...
So Lin Ke chuckled lightly, but showed a bit of domineering that was not suitable for his age: "No, my teacher joined Azane, he has star-level strength, and you... I'm sorry, Your Excellency Viscount Mantis, you
what do you say that is?"
Viscount Mantis narrowed his eyes when he heard this, but said nothing, and the people next to him also stopped talking.
As a result, the grass became happy again.
Lin Ke once again took out three sets of chess and called it "Azan war chess" as an entertainment item, making the nobles who like novelty play happily.
While the nobles were playing chess, Lin Ke also took this opportunity to call all the lords of Azane, big and small, to the living room.
…
There is still some time before lunch, and Lin Ke needs to make peace with himself before facing the external enemy.
Antova accompanied various nobles below, and John was also below for dispatch.
Lin Ke took Fulon, Butler Billy and John to the reception room.
There are five barons, eighteen lords, and three pioneer knights in the Viscounty of Azane.
As soon as Lin Ke came in, he saw five gray-haired old men sitting in five positions in the center, with calm and leisurely expressions on their faces, and they could stretch and retract freely.
When he had a verbal conflict with Viscount Mantis down below, Lin Ke clearly couldn't even see a single hair from their mouths.
Below are either counts or sons of marquis, or stewards of some big nobles, or some powerful professionals. These old, weak, sick and disabled people below cannot muster the courage to speak.
And now...
When Lin Ke came in, the five people were closing their eyes and concentrating, and the other few sitting in the seats were also silent, looking pampered.
This attitude is extremely obvious.
Only Baron Puxin, Lin Ke, was familiar, so Lin Ke looked over with a smile and stood still at the door.
Baron Puxin suddenly shed a few drops of cold sweat on his face.
On one side was Lin Ke, whom he knew very well how smart he was and how powerful the person behind him was.
On one side is the Azan Noble Council, which can actually decide his life or death.
Even though he had thought about it countless times, Baron Puxin was still a little frightened.
Just as Lin Ke's bright eyes looking at him gradually narrowed into slits, and the corners of his mouth became higher and higher, Baron Puxin finally couldn't bear it any longer.
"Master Lin Ke, come and meet these family elders. They are here to discuss with you how to maintain the position of viscount in our family!"
Baron Puxin was originally a seated person, but his reputation was tarnished due to the Parrot City Incident. At this time, he was only sitting at the end near the door.
"Oh?" Lin Ke looked at the people around him with a half-smile, then turned around and asked Butler Billy softly: "Uncle Billy, who are these people? Besides, I remember that today seems to be my birthday, right? I
I mean, what kind of gifts have these people prepared?"
Butler Billy bent down very respectfully, leaned into Lin Ke's ear, and said softly in a voice that everyone could hear:
"From left to right are Baron Fran, Baron Carmel...and Baron Sandile. Their glory was inherited from Azan's ancestors. I think they are 'thrifty' by nature and can't afford anything.
Come and give it to you as a congratulatory gift."
Good guys, what a bunch of tough roosters?
Lin Ke, who was originally worried about accidental injury, immediately stopped talking.
Lin Ke had written about these barons and lords who were standing or sitting in the book that Billy had given him before. Basically, they were all nobles who had been passed down for several generations.
Everyone was unwilling to make progress and spent their days living in debauchery. As a result, the entire Azane territory almost degenerated into a barony. It was not until Garose came out that things changed slightly.
Not even two years after the change, Garosei fell into the secondary plane and jumped out one by one.
Originally, Lin Ke thought that these people, who came at this critical moment, would donate troops and food to show that they could tide over the difficulties together.
In that case, even if these elders want to intimidate him, a junior, he will admit it.
did not expect……
Sure enough, meat eaters are despicable.
Not all national civilizations have national integrity like the great civilizations of the previous generation.
In most cases, those who do not die in old age are thieves.
Lin Ke immediately chuckled and said loudly: "Uncle Billy, throw these vicious dogs from their seats! When did the master's seat allow dogs to sit?"
As soon as the words came out, the expressions of the nine people on the seats immediately changed.
"Presumptuous!" The old man sitting in the middle slammed the seat and opened his cloudy eyes.
"What a rude boy!"
"Garrosi doesn't dare to talk to me like that!"
"Judge! Judge! Judge him!"
"Disinherit him!"
Several other people shouted angrily, and the lords and pioneer knights standing behind them also had different expressions.
Only Baron Puxin rolled to the ground in reaction, with cold sweat dripping from his face and a frightened expression.
really!
He shouted in his heart: I knew it, I knew it! Don’t let that Aof come! Andrew’s legs! If I had known it, I wouldn’t have come...
He was well aware of the "violent" temper of that Auf, and even more aware of the arrogance of the family elders.
It's like an egg hitting a rock!
It's still the kind of stone made of eggshells and diamonds that have been weathered for a hundred years.
So he hurriedly said: "Master Lin Ke, I am on your side, I am on your side!"
He shivered and took out an old and yellowed parchment from his arms: "Master Lin Ke! This is a letter between me and Ms. Brando! She has always asked me to protect you secretly! We are on the same side!"
Faced with life and death, Baron Puxin simply forgot about any deliberation meeting.
Letter?Protection?
Lin Ke's pupils shrank when he heard this, but he didn't think much and shouted softly: "Go to the back and stand."
As if he had been granted amnesty, Baron Puxin crawled up with his plump body and stood behind Furlong, like an old servant.
Then, Lin Ke's professional power boiled, a thin air film formed, and then he stepped forward.
Skill position streamlined air pressure shield!
The figure of Butler Billy behind him started to move. Following Lin Ke's footsteps, he lifted everyone on the seats and threw them to the center of the living room.
Level six profession [Housekeeper]!
Skill cleanup.
Fulong also had an angry look on his face, pouted and slammed the door of the living room with good sound insulation effect with a "snap".
