Chapter 277 Not Optimistic

Lu He is a person who values ​​family affection.

Although he has no relatives on Earth, he is the only one left since his grandfather passed away.

There are a few relatives on his mother's side, but it's better not to talk about them, because basically there is no contact, and they rarely care about Lu He, which is no different from having no relatives.

Lu He looked at the gray-haired old Earl Bryce, and gradually evoked the few memories deep in his mind.

When the original owner was a child, he met him briefly once or twice with his mother Glee. When he grew up, he met him when his father died in the war last time and the old Earl Bryce came to Highland City to pay his respects.

However, the original owner had a very good impression of him. He loved and cared about the original owner very much and was a qualified elder.

Although Lu He devoured the original owner's memory, he was not affected by the original owner's emotions.

But since he inherited the original owner's body and blood, he naturally inherited his cause and effect.

Therefore, the family affection of the original owner in front of him is also something he has always cherished, and he still needs to pay more attention to it.

"In a blink of an eye, Sauron, you are so big, you have changed so much." The old Earl Bryce sighed.

It really was a blink of an eye. It was only half a year since the last meeting, and Zoro still looked immature.

Now when they meet again, he has changed drastically, and his appearance and temperament are like a different person.

"I developed faster." Lu He explained.

Nini looked strange. There was nothing wrong with Zoro's cousin's answer, it was normal, but she just felt weird.

"Is your family bloodline fully awakened?" The old earl stared at Lu He with a smile in his eyes.

Lu He nodded without explaining too much. The old earl should be referring to his change in strength.

However, a large part of his current strength does come from the third-level bloodline inherited in his body, and only a small part comes from the knight training system.

The old earl smiled and looked at Zoro in front of him. The worry that had been hanging in his heart was finally put down.

When he heard that Zoro was promoted to a sky knight and made a great reputation in the Dawn Forest.

He didn't believe it.

After all, he had just seen Zoro at the funeral, and he was just a child with strong limbs and a simple mind at that time.

But such a big change happened in just half a year, which was unreasonable and unbelievable to him.

Now after meeting, the old earl got the answer in his heart from the pair of scarlet eyes.

It's just... he developed too fast.

He was not unaware of the bloodline of the Soros family, but because of Grandpa Soron, he knew it very well.

Then the old earl pulled Lu He to talk about some interesting things in the past, and finally he was completely relieved.

"Soron, this is your cousin, Nini, and Fenris. You met him when you were a child. Do you remember him?"

The old earl pointed to the girl who looked like a lady and sat on the sofa next to him.

"Cousin Soron~" Nini's voice was very sweet.

"Cousin, cousin, hello."

Lu He smiled and nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, and greeted the two of them separately.

The cousin had never seen it, and the original owner of the cousin had no impression of it, but just knew that there was such a person.

"Cousin Sauron..." Fenris looked at Lu He with a twinkling look, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask something.

Fenris was tall, with short hair and a shiny wheat complexion, looking particularly strong and powerful.

He was only two or three years older than himself, but Lu He found that he was already a high-level knight attendant, and was about to break through the critical point, which was considered a genius at this age.

"Cousin Fenris, it seems that your physical strength is about to be promoted to the knight level, right?" Lu He asked with a smile.

The latter was slightly stunned and nodded subconsciously.

"I suggest that you don't rush to break through for the time being, first lay a good foundation at the attendant level, especially after polishing the physical body to the extreme, then try to break through, so that the effect will be better."

The stronger the physical body, the more benefits the life transition will bring when it is promoted to the knight level.

He relied on blood to break the limit of the physical body before he was promoted to the knight level, and fully tapped the potential of the physical body.

However, Lu He did not suggest that he break the limit of the physical body, as it was a bit too difficult for him to do so.

Fenris nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

He looked at the teenager in front of him, who was already Sauron's cousin who was a Sky Knight at such a young age.

He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't say he was jealous, nor did he say he admired him. He was more likely to be envious.

Before the news that Sauron's cousin became a Sky Knight reached the capital, Fenris was quite confident and proud.

Because he was known as one of the top ten knights of the younger generation in the capital.

Although he was only ranked ninth, in the capital where nobles gathered and powerful forces were everywhere, ninth was already very impressive.

But...

Fenris looked up at Sauron.

While he was still complacent, his cousin had already become a true genius who was out of the category of the younger generation.

Some people even compared him with Speaker Hosiman of the Sword of Order.

You know, Speaker Hosiman is a well-known strong man in the entire Western Continent, with extremely powerful strength.

And his cousin can actually be compared with such a person.

At such an age, with such strength, and he is also an influential imperial earl.

So my cousin has already become one of the big men with great influence on the situation in the New Moon Empire.

His words and deeds, the actions of the people around him, even inadvertently, will bring about waves of undercurrents.

"Zoron, are you coming to the royal capital this time for the upcoming noble council?" the old earl asked with a frown.

"The old emperor keeps inviting you, and it's hard to refuse such hospitality." Lu He nodded without concealing his purpose.

"You shouldn't take a trip into this muddy water." There was a trace of worry in the old earl's eyes.

"Unlike in the past, the situation in the Royal Capital has been extremely complicated recently. In the face of this change that has not happened in a thousand years, conservatives, reformers, and speculators... all want a share of the pie."

"Although you are a Heavenly Knight, in many cases it is not force that can solve everything, not to mention..."

The old earl looked at Lu He and expressed his worries.

"You want to say Hosiman, right?" He only said half of the words, but Lu He knew what he wanted to say.

The old man in front of him has short gray hair, deep eyes, and a few wrinkles appear on his face when he speaks.

The words were full of concern for Lu He.

"Hosemann represents the reformist faction, which is mainly composed of emerging aristocrats and capitalists. They already occupy more than half of the seats in the aristocratic parliament. The royal family has no chance of winning."

The old count sighed. In fact, he was not very concerned about the results of this political change. The Hitler family had already completed the transformation, and if the change was successful, it might be even better.

What he cares about is the grandson in front of him.

Because of the massacre of nobles, Sauron had already had a conflict with Hosiman and left a very bad impression on the latter.

But it's not a big deal. After all, everything happens for a reason. If you apologize and admit your mistake, the matter will be over.

But now Sauron not only got involved in this change, but also stood on the opposite side of Horseman.

This is no small matter.

Because political hostility is sometimes even more cruel and bloody than military confrontation.

"Don't worry, I don't want to participate in this constitutional monarchy reform." Lu He comforted with a smile.

"I just felt unhappy with that Hossiman and wanted to find a reason to beat him up."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, the folds on the old count's face were about to open and relax, but the second half of the sentence made them squeeze together again.

"Zoron, you..." The old earl looked at Lu He, not knowing what to say at all.

Nini's eyes widened and she once again looked carefully at her thin cousin.

It seems that he can't believe that he just said that.

Fenris was also looking at Lu He blankly, with a hint of complexity and shock in his eyes.

Lu He smiled silently.

He didn't expect that so many people didn't think highly of him, including the old emperor who had pinned their hopes on him.

You must know that except for the unknown blood prince, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a man with a three-kill record.

It seems that Speaker Hosiman is not simple.

…………

In the evening, there was only a little afterglow left by the setting sun.

Lu He personally sent the old count back to his mansion, declined his repeated invitations, and turned to leave.

He did not return immediately by carriage, but walked alone on the dim street.

Mark followed far behind in a carriage.

Sometimes Lu He just wants to take a walk. Before he changed his career as a wizard, he liked to wander like this aimlessly.

Because every time you walk with your mind free, you will feel much more relaxed and your mood will be much better.

The old count's mansion is located on the edge of Yunguang District and Baiguang District. It is relatively remote and has not many people.

Under the dim sky, only a few businesses on the street were still open. A group of children were playing a roulette game on the roadside, making cheerful noises.

After walking for a while, and just as he was about to get back on the carriage, he heard a rush of footsteps behind him.

Nini is trotting towards this side.

The cute girl quickly ran to Lu He, bent down and gasped for air.

"Cousin Zoro, I saw you walking here from afar while I was standing upstairs, so I ran over immediately." Nini said with a smile after she recovered her breath, blinked her eyes.

"Do you think the king is bored?"

She rolled her eyes, stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and took Lu He's arm generously, "I'll take you to a fun place."

In fact, she felt bored. Her grandfather would not allow her to go out alone at this time of day. Finally, a cousin who she had never met before but was very awesome came over.

So I want to seize the opportunity to take it out to show off.

"What's a good place?" Lu Hezhu asked. He turned around and glanced at the old Earl's mansion in the distance.

In the mist of the night, the old count and the handsome cousin were vaguely waving to them in front of the door.

"You'll know if you follow me." Nini acted mysteriously, dragging Lu He into the carriage behind her.

Under her command, the carriage rushed towards the white light area.

Half an hour later.

Amidst the loud music, four women in black suspenders twisted crazily on the stage.

A large number of men and women below raised their arms and cheered and shouted. From time to time, flowers or banknotes were thrown onto the stage.

This is a bar with a large area, and the customers inside are all young men and women who are not very old.

There was also a band on the stage, standing in a corner and frantically playing various weird instruments.

There are three oval bar counters on the wall in front of the door. The bartenders inside are all handsome and beautiful young men and women, and they are mixing various drinks for the guests at the bar in a fancy way.

Lu He was leaning in front of the innermost bar, looking at the lively crowd on the dance floor.

He was still trying to figure out how mysterious the mysterious place Nini was talking about was. It turned out to be a bar.

But it was normal. This kind of music bar was much more advanced than the traditional bars where mercenaries gathered.

As a teenage girl, and a lady of the upper class who was usually under strict discipline, the music bar was indeed quite mysterious to Nini.

Lu He observed the crowd for a long time.

From their dress and demeanor, it was obvious that most of the guests here had good family conditions.

The wine list on the table also proved this point. Any glass of unknown wine cost one silver coin.

And you have to pay to enter the venue. It was Nini who paid for him just now. It was charged per person, one gold coin per person.

The descendants of the rich and powerful usually lead the entertainment trend of a society.

This world is no exception. Only the children of the nobles or wealthy merchants have the time and money to do these things. People in the middle and lower classes focus their energy on life.

Leaning on the white bar, Lu He lazily drank the pink bubbling wine in his hand.

In this kind of place, his age and dress match those around him.

It's just that he looks a little different with a calm face and a condescending attitude to look at the stage.

"Perhaps reform is in line with public opinion."

He looked at Nini, who was shouting and twisting with a few good friends on the dance floor, and suddenly whispered to himself.

Today, the old earl talked to him a lot, from the economy to politics of the empire, from the upper aristocracy to the lower class.

The meaning behind his words is that reform is the mainstream and the natural choice for this society to adapt to the times.

Lu He didn't feel much, but it seemed to make sense from the development stage of the earth in the previous life.

And at this moment, from the behavior of these future upper-class people in the Crescent Empire, it proved that reform is indeed the general trend.

"But... what does this have to do with me!?"

Lu He took a sip of the wine glass on the table, and suddenly a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, handsome guy? Alone?"

At this time, a long-haired beauty with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes came over.

She held a glass of transparent white wine and glanced at Lu He coquettishly.

The beauty was wearing a deep V long skirt, and her white lace underwear was boldly exposed on her chest. As she walked, the outline hidden inside could be vaguely seen, but it seemed invisible.

It was looming, very naughty.

Lu He glanced at the other party in surprise. This was the first time someone called him a handsome guy.

"Sorry, we don't make an appointment." He smiled, his EQ was slightly online, and he politely refused.

Suddenly, the peach blossom eyed beauty looked a little stunned, a little shocked, and seemed a little angry, anyway, it was very exciting.

The beauty looked at him deeply, turned her head and walked away.

In the corner of the bar, there were two girls whose temperament was completely inconsistent with the surrounding environment.

They were in a separate transparent glass wall room, similar to a booth.

The sound insulation inside was good, and the glass wall was one-sided, so you could only see the outside from the inside.

One of them was wearing a black corseted miniskirt, which showed off her tall and beautiful figure. She was also pretty, and she was considered a little beauty.

The other one was drunk and wore a black tight vest, which showed her snow-white ravines and tight waist.

A head of black shoulder-length hair was a little messy and scattered on the table with the owner's head, covering her rosy face. The delicate light gold gem earrings were faintly revealed in the hair above.

"Shirley doesn't look successful?" The girl in the miniskirt said with a little surprise on her face.

"Really? It's impossible!" The black-haired girl immediately stood up from the table, not believing her companion's words.

"She was wearing such a sexy outfit today, how could that young man resist her temptation!?"

The three of them often came to this bar. Although the environment here was a bit noisy, the bartending level inside was very high.

And it can also relax the mood.

If there is any trouble or pressure, they will come here to gather and relax and vent.
