This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 898 - 830: Leading the Era

"Marquis of Giant Sword..."

"Count of Tulip..."

"Princes and Princesses..."

"Kings of Magical Beasts..."

"Various new professions, new ways of thinking, new literary works, newly risen strong individuals..."

"During that era, Lord Lin Ke's words were even more stirring than those of the [Minstrel]. When Lord Lin Ke shouted to charge, everyone was willing to face death. The Great Wall was built under the leadership of a six-year-old child and was defended by this child until dawn arrived."

"This is the Linke Clan, the founding clan of the Lava Clan — Duke Linke, the pride of our entire Naseng!"

Athena's voice was full of pride.

The story she recounted, though not told with great intensity, was thrilling, and Fleivers and Villie listened with bated breath, completely engrossed in the tale. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"And these records in the Memory Stone were captured by Princess Rica at that time."

Athena raised the square object in her hand: "Oh, and this thing called a 'phone' was also invented based on Lord Lin Ke's whimsical ideas."

"So... so amazing..." Fleivers had now become a little admirer of Lin Ke, eyes shining, cheeks flushed, wishing he could join that war against the Magical Beasts on the spot, following Lin Ke into battle.

Villie felt much the same.

He took the phone from Athena, eagerly wanting to see those early images recorded by Duke Linke's wife, Princess Rica.

The scenes filled with passion also inspired Villie.

A young man cannot lack passion, can he?

"And after Duke Linke established Great Wilderness City, the talents of Naseng saw an explosive surge." Handing the phone to Villie, Athena returned to the main topic:

"The Coliseum, Great Library, Heroic Spirit Hall, customs, Great Wilderness University, large malls... countless wonders, cities, and schools sprang up like mushrooms after the rain, leading an entire era."

"Previously, nobles labeled as geniuses turned into ordinary people under the vast population base, while among the masses, innumerable geniuses were born, each of them a peerless prodigy that could have dominated an era in the past."

"If Lord Lin Ke is a star, then they are also stars, though flickering and fleeting. As for you?"

Athena deliberately glanced at their arms and legs: "You're at most fireflies, still undernourished, yet thinking you're strong, not even matching the light of a torch."

"It's like a forest that always had only two tigers, compared to a forest where tigers fought each other until only one remained, they are not the same."

"In Great Wilderness City, the children are surrounded by tigers, only after fighting can one be called a king, while you, having received personal guidance from Lord Lin Ke, can't even match a tiger, only monkeys."

"Do you have the confidence to compete with those tigers who survived among countless others?"

Fleivers' face flushed immediately, and Villie's gaze deepened.

Seeing this, Athena's tone also changed slightly: "If you lack confidence, I'd advise you not to go to Great Wilderness City."

"There, Tiger Kings appear every year, but few can receive guidance from Lord Lin Ke, and even meeting him is difficult."

"You've received Lord Lin Ke's teaching and become his disciples, those young Tiger Kings will be insanely jealous, and it's possible they might tear you apart."

Athena's main purpose was not to dishearten these two, but to motivate them.

Because these two had indeed become dominant figures in Silver Wing City, feeling invincible, and started to become arrogant and complacent.

Losing the drive to improve is not good at all.

"Back then, Guangzi... Teacher Lin Ke, was also one who fought his way up among a group of geniuses..." Villie murmured: "Genius... a group... a group of geniuses..."

Fleivers, with a flushed, ashamed face, softly corrected: "To be precise, it's fighting a bloody path from a group of geniuses of previous generations, or even several generations before..."

Both fell silent suddenly.

"Genius?" Athena blew a whistle lightly: "Hah, like the generation of the Marquis of Giant Sword, uncountable geniuses have been defeated, and as for Lord Lin Ke now, he truly is..."

Before finishing, Fleivers and Villie already knew what she meant.

Lin Ke is incomparable!

If someone were to compare who is a genius with Lin Ke, then everyone might as well commit suicide from age six, as they simply can't measure up.

Seeing it was about enough, Athena stood up, took back the phone from Villie's hand, and waved her hand: "I'm off to spend a night in the slums outside, they say that's where Lord Lin Ke once lived... if you two still want to go and be trampled by those prodigies, then come find me there."

"If not, you can continue to reign here; I believe Lord Lin Ke will respect your wishes... I will depart when the sun rises over the horizon tomorrow morning, consider it yourselves."

With that, Athena powered her legs, and her figure vanished on the spot, leaving the two youths sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The entire hall was silent, with only the sound of their breathing and heartbeats.

Going over there means becoming the bottom of society, being trampled, attacked, and humiliated.

Here means being at the top, with money, power, beauties, entertainment—a king over everything.

How to choose?

After a long while, as night fell.

At a certain moment, Villie and Fleivers almost simultaneously lifted their heads, exchanging a glance.

In the pitch-black night, their eyes reflected the bright moonlight.

Their gaze was fierce and intense.

...

Great Wilderness City, a certain villa.

Antova was watering the Tree of Nature in the courtyard, not far away, Butler Billy was smiling and waiting nearby.

It was noon, a strong figure in worn armor appeared at the villa entrance.

"Antova, I'm back!"

The newcomer was Garoce!

"Master!" "Master."

Butler Billy and Antova greeted Garoce.

At the same time, Butler Billy stepped forward to help Garoce remove his gear.

"It's no good, this armor is too old," Garoce panted slightly: "This armor without the nourishment of sand and blood has become too outdated."

"Master's armor may look old, but it's still as strong as ever," Butler Billy replied with a small smile.

"You..." Garoce shook his head: "Old armor is old, and old can't go to the battlefield anymore! New armor should go to the battlefield, new armor is hundreds of times better than old armor!"

"New or old, both are good," Butler Billy did not argue against Garoce's words.

"Alright, alright." Antova stepped forward, gently taking Garoce's hand: "The old armor bore me a son and daughter, the little armor a grandson, all is well, all is well."

With that, Garoce stroked the mustache above his lip, clicking his tongue without saying more.
