This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 65 - 57 Heshan Delivers
Chapter 65: Chapter 57 Heshan Delivers
Today, the day after the performance.
After a whole night of chatter, Fulon was too lazy to ask Lin Ke about the plot of "Coiled Snake Ring," as Lin Ke wouldn’t tell her anyway.
Moreover... the goods from the city have arrived.
Earlier, she bought a little leopard at a pet store, and that Puxin boy bought a Deep Blue Giant Tiger cub at an auction to please her.
The two were arranged by Lin Ke to be delivered later, fearing that Baron Puxin might harm the procurement team.
And today, just as Lin Ke was seeing off Knicks, who was heading to the countryside to seek experience, he saw the convoy.
"Alright Knicks, maybe after you successfully grasp the profession of [Doctor], you should first treat your tear glands."
Lin Ke waved goodbye to the tearful Knicks at the door.
Knicks, over a meter tall, was wearing bright red clothes with his ears drooping softly behind his head.
You should know that Knicks is a lop-eared rabbit.
"Mr. Lin Ke, I will definitely comprehend these traits as soon as possible." Knicks bowed gentlemanly, having learned this from Butler Billy, though his tear-stained eyes somewhat ruined the poise.
"What’s there to cry about? It’s so close; it’s easy to come back..." John mumbled behind Lin Ke and then couldn’t help but say to Knicks, "Hey, you must come back and see me more often!"
The relationship between John and Knicks is actually quite good.
"Alright, Mr. John."
Knicks, still in tears, wiped the fur moistened by his tears.
He tightened the small backpack on his back and embarked on the path of practicing medicine in five villages.
Perhaps, later on, it won’t just be five villages; maybe he’ll venture into some baron lands of Azanen, who knows?
Lin Ke’s requirement for Knicks was to return within five months and have become [Doctor].
After seeing off Knicks, Lin Ke looked at the head of the convoy opposite him, a burly woman with black hair on her hands.
Then he stood there, waiting for the woman to come to him.
As the future heir of Azanen, unless it was regarding nobles, there was no need for him to greet them personally; he only needed to stand and wait.
Damn noble etiquette again.
"Akel’s shop owner sister, why did you personally deliver it?"
When the woman came before him, Lin Ke greeted her with a noble smile and etiquette.
The sturdy woman in front of him was the same shop manager from "Akel’s Shop."
The woman with short black hair tied at the back of her head, slightly dark skin, and a general’s belly, bowed humbly: "Young Master of Azanen, I greet you on behalf of Count Akel."
Count Akel!
The one who spread "Akel’s Shop" throughout Naseng and attained a count’s status through their level thirteen [Merchant] identity.
In Naseng, there’s an unwritten rule that only those with a level fifteen ability or higher can attain a count’s title.
Of course, this strength could be personal, or family strength, or even the wife’s strength, etc.
Attaining a count’s title with just level thirteen, Count Akel’s financial power truly is formidable.
Lin Ke wouldn’t underestimate anyone just because his teacher is a level twenty.
However...the goodwill of Count Akel, the goodwill of that "Pet Count"...
"Lady, how about joining me for a delicious brunch? Our castle’s lucky flower milk cake is quite tasty." Lin Ke addressed the shop manager in front of him, changing "sister" to "lady."
"My pleasure, young sir with manners."
The shop manager hastily returned a salute, showing that these noble etiquettes troubled more than just Lin Ke alone, from gestures to demeanor.
"John, arrange these little animals properly and have someone prepare some refreshments. Oh, and I want a cup of Gula Milk, no lucky flower added."
Lin Ke instructed John, then led the way towards the castle.
"Yes, young master."
John bowed, nodded with a smile at the female shop manager, and called someone to handle the two pets and prepare the refreshments. Then he returned to guide the shop manager upstairs: "This way, ma’am."
John showed no sign of his reluctance to bid farewell to Knicks from a minute ago. Instead, his actions were filled with enthusiasm and elegance.
It’s what he needed to possess in the future as a butler.
The shop manager followed John upstairs to the study on the top floor, where Lin Ke was sitting in a chair waiting for her.
Who knows when it was, perhaps starting from Ove’s arrival, Lin Ke could naturally come here.
The study, once considered a semi-restricted area where no one could enter, is now entered by Lin Ke daily.
"Lady, please sit." Lin Ke, with interest, watched the seemingly rugged but inwardly delicate shop manager in front of him.
"Yes, Mr. Lin Ke, if it’s okay, you can refer to me by my code name ’Heishan’." The shop manager, codenamed "Heishan," sat quite tensely in the seat before Lin Ke.
"Then, Lady Heishan, what instructions or commands does the honorable Count Akel have for me?"
Upon hearing "Heishan," combined with Lady Heishan’s appearance, Lin Ke thought this code name was quite fitting. However, outwardly, he didn’t show any disrespectful attitude.
"Mr. Lin Ke is the esteemed young master of Azanen; how could the count give instructions or commands?"
Lady Heishan noticed that Lin Ke didn’t react at all to her codename, which only increased the respect in her eyes:
"I’m here on behalf of Count Akel to greet Mr. Lin Ke and congratulate the Azanen Clan on the emergence of a powerhouse exceeding level fifteen."
A powerhouse exceeding level fifteen?
Upon hearing this, Lin Ke immediately understood.
So that’s the case!
Indeed!
Why would a shop manager personally handle such delivery otherwise?
And now Lin Ke understood.
It turns out it’s because of Teacher Ove!
Previously, Ove was enraged in Parrot City because Lin Ke was imprisoned by Puxin boy.
Although Parrot City is just a small border town, it is the nearest city to Azaenn Castle.
One must know that the heartland of Azanen isn’t in the center of the Azanen Domain but at the southernmost part where Azaenn Castle is located.
After all, the Azanen’s strongest fortress is here.
So, when Ove nearly destroyed a city for Lin Ke, the news spread immediately.
An individual beyond level fifteen, having taken young master Lin Ke Azanen as a pupil!
It’s known that King of Azanen is merely a level twelve [Knight].
Individuals above level fifteen are already considered powerful, along with Viscount Garoce who is over level ten.
Many who were unaware only thought that the title of Azanen might experience some shifts.
As for the Parrot City, which was on the brink of destruction, nobody paid any heed.
Even the lowest viscount commands about 1-2 planes.
The destruction of one or two cities doesn’t matter outside one’s territory. Perhaps a bored legend might uphold justice, but who cares?
They are more concerned about who that practitioner is and if teacher Lin Ke Azanen has joined the Azanen Family.
If he has joined, the level of Viscount Azanen’s title might rise again.
And the surrounding territories might have to reevaluate, establishing alliances or taking actions as necessary.
After all...while planes are infinite, plane coordinates are limited.
Having one more individual backed by practitioners of level fifteen or above is intolerable for many viscounts and counts.
This signifies intensified competition.
It might even mean that the plane coordinates the Gula Royal Family was supposed to grant or sell could be rewarded to Azanen...
However, for a [Merchant] like Count Akel, possibly what matters isn’t the skirmish between lords but rather trade and relations.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke smiled slightly.
