This Lord is Very Scientific

The Tulip had speculated.

This time, Lin Ke would vie for the title of Grand Duke.

After all, Ove was a legend, and Lin Ke himself had created newspapers, lotteries, Azanen paper, and other things, besides having destroyed the entire Lava Swamp when he was young.

Becoming a Duke was effortless, and a Grand Duke was within reach too.

Moreover, the Tulip was a very emotional person; he had a natural love for flowers and trees, and he was inherently kind-hearted,

so he really liked some of Lin Ke's ideas and admired Lin Ke's past declaration to "Lead the Charge."

Of course, befriending Lin Ke was also beneficial for the Count of Tulip's family.

Duke!

So far, the Gula Kingdom had only eight Grand Dukes and nineteen Dukes!

Being a Duke meant having at least level twenty Starlight-level strength!

And to be a Grand Duke, one not only needed legendary battle power but also required the family leader to have significant influence or contribution to the Gula Kingdom.

Such a person, even others in the Tulip family strongly supported establishing good relations with.

Even though Ove was gone now, Lin Ke would at least become a Duke, and if he wished, even a Grand Duke, especially with so many Kings of Magical Beasts in the family!

Still worth befriending!

Even if Lin Ke were only a Count, the Count of Tulip would not despise or resent him; after all, he greatly appreciated Lin Ke himself.

Watching the person he admired, currently staring at him with an alarming gaze, the Count of Tulip could only wonder: "Count Lin Ke, what's wrong?"

"My teacher was killed by a Wild Boar Great Shaman." Lin Ke suppressed his anger and sorrow and asked the Count of Tulip, "Please tell me, Sir Tulip, tell me everything about this noble council."

Lin Ke knew that the Count of Tulip was on good terms with the Green Leaf Grand Duke, who was ancient and powerful and knew many insider secrets.

"Count Lin Ke, if the one who killed Sir Ove was a Legendary-level Wild Boar Great Shaman, I can think of only three possibilities." The Count of Tulip pondered for a moment, then held up three fingers towards Lin Ke.

At this time, the group had already stopped, and the People's Knight Order and the Count of Tulip's men were standing guard outside to prevent eavesdropping or intrusion.

"The first possibility is that you have a grievance with the Sun God of the Holy Life Alliance, and He dispatched a Legendary from the Wild Boar population under His command to assassinate." The Count of Tulip looked into Lin Ke's eyes:

"The Holy Life Alliance has countless foundations, and no one knows how many legends the Sun God secretly harbors, which is why our Gula Kingdom is still the second power in Naseng to this day."

Although the Gula Kingdom had supremely powerful figures like the Insomnia Emperor, its mid and lower-level strength was extremely lacking.

The number of legends, ten to twenty-level strong individuals, and even the total number of professionals were less than the Holy Life Alliance.

"We really don't have any contact with the Sun God." Nearby, Garoce shook his head: "He has no reason to sacrifice a powerful and ancient Wild Boar Great Shaman for just a Lin Ke and Ove."

Indeed!

The abilities of that Wild Boar Great Shaman were extremely bizarre, enough even to assassinate some twenty-four or twenty-five level legends.

If it weren't for Lin Ke's system warning causing a sudden assault that disrupted the Wild Boar Great Shaman's setup, perhaps the whole group, including Ove, would have perished in that eerie gray fog.

But upon investigation, it might still be discovered.

To waste such a powerful legend for Lin Ke and Ove?

There was no fundamental interest conflict between the Sun God and Lin Ke, and Lin Ke rarely concerned himself with Holy Life Alliance matters, so this possibility was unlikely.

"I also think it wouldn't be the Sun God... the second possibility, hmm... is that Lord..."

The Count of Tulip hesitated repeatedly, then pointed to the distant Magic Tower.

It was a completely black, several hundred meters tall Magic Tower, covered with golden patterns.

Serenity Magic Tower, the Moon Goddess' Magic Tower!

The Count of Tulip didn't dare to speak the Moon Goddess' name, so after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "That lord has a grudge with Count Lin Ke, which is something many people know; everyone would think of Her first for this matter, but also feel She wouldn't do such a thing... She is on the third level!"

The Count of Tulip gambled!

What he spoke of was speculation, but because these speculations targeted a Dominator, he was still very afraid.

But he could gain Lin Ke's friendship, and that was worth it!

"The Moon Goddess and the Eldest Prince?" Lin Ke squinted: "Are you saying... they have subordinate planes with the Wild Boar population in them?"

"That I am not sure of..." The Count of Tulip paced back and forth on the spot, then suddenly struck his head: "Oh right, speaking of planes, the Eighth Prince once had a subordinate plane where the main race was the Wild Boar! And that plane was eventually gifted by the Eighth Prince to the Eldest Prince!"

Such secrets were generally unknown to ordinary nobles; the Count of Tulip knew this only from frequently chatting with the Count of Green Leaf.

And Lin Ke, at this moment, was already furious.

Eldest Prince!

Again, it's the Eldest Prince!

Lin Ke now forced himself to calm down. Before things became clear, if he acted rashly, he would likely harm all his remaining loved ones, for after all, that was the Child of Insomnia!

And if after the truth came to light he couldn't seek revenge, he would sever all ties with his loved ones and then wield the Staff of Annihilation to create havoc.

"However, Count Lin Ke, there's also a third possibility you can't ignore."

The Count of Tulip, with a steadier temperament, continued, "Among the tribes that split from the Holy Life Alliance in the past, there was a tribe composed of Wild Boars. They established a city in the distant Great Desert to rest and recuperate."

Wild Boar Tribe?

Lin Ke knew that a significant event had happened in the Holy Life Alliance during the Mythical Era, and naturally, he recalled how many races had separated to survive on their own at that time.

But this possibility was also mostly ruled out by Lin Ke since he had no interaction with the Wild Boar forces; there was no reason to kill him.

So...

"Eldest Prince?"

Lin Ke's eyes glinted, then he closed them.

His fingernails were already embedded in his flesh, but Lin Ke felt nothing but a burning rage.

He hated.

He was too weak in the past, and still is!

At eighteen, level ten was already considered pretty good.

But the Eldest Prince was legendary, powerful even among legends.

However, this time it depended on the Gula Royal Family, on the nobles, on how the Insomnia Emperor handled it.

If the death of a legend was not properly dealt with...

"Additionally... I heard that the Prince of Stars from the Ocean of Stars and Waves also seems to have Wild Boars under his command... uh, Count Lin Ke, you know..."

The Count of Tulip hesitantly revealed another secret.

Lin Ke suddenly felt a bit of confidence.

The Moon Goddess, once the Princess of the Moon of the Ocean of Stars and Waves...
