This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 258: Greedy Competitors



If Lin Ke could comprehend the law for a long enough time, he estimated he could fight across levels.

Fight across levels!

At lower levels, it was still conceivable, but after level ten, it's rare unless one has a Knight Order.

Just as the rotten piece of wood in Lin Ke's hand gave a slight tremor, curious gazes immediately focused on him.

Those gazes started with curiosity, gradually turned into amazement, and then into greed.

The law!

The object in this human's hand unexpectedly enhanced the affinity for the surrounding laws.

Even those not far away could perceive the law fluctuations that were usually hard to sense.

Let alone the human holding the artifact?

But this was the capital "Abyss" of the Gula Kingdom, and the lower levels of the Abyss...

So those gazes became restrained.

If it had been on their territory, they would've snatched it already.

"Human..." However, a Minotaur couldn't help but speak: "I want that thing in your hand... I'll trade with you!"

This Minotaur was towering and massive, with a chest that seemed like two huge slabs of granite, appearing incredibly robust.

Lin Ke opened his eyes and looked over, seeing the intense desire in the Minotaur's eyes aimed at the rotten wood piece in Lin Ke's hand.

"Sorry, no trade." Lin Ke shook his head.

These exotic beings in front of him all had profound auras, with the lowest at level fifteen and the highest at level seventeen.

But even that level seventeen merfolk didn't frighten Lin Ke.

Exotic beings were like that; their strongest power originated from individuals.

And a level ten Lin Ke leading the People's Knight Order into battle could rival a level seventeen strongman.

Besides, thanks to the recent turmoil, Lin Ke was close to breaking through to level eleven.

"I see, well then." The leading Minotaur scratched his head but didn't press the issue.

However, the Minotaur's words seemed to open a valve, prompting people from other factions to tentatively speak up.

"Human, give me that thing; I will protect you in the noble council." A handsome male merfolk spoke.

This merfolk's expression was arrogant, his aura powerful, and water vapor swirled around him, emitting a faint light.

Protect you from death...

Lin Ke glanced at the merfolk, not even bothering to reply.

It was said that the merfolk were the rulers of the deep sea, similar to higher life forms in the Holy Life Alliance.

In ancient times, there was a Mermaid Kingdom, but now the Ocean of Stars and Waves consisted of scattered seabed tribes, unorganized and fragmented.

Often, land forces didn't take the current Ocean of Stars and Waves seriously.

The underwater chaos was intense, with the strong standing alone and the weak gathering in groups, fighting continuously.

Just like Magical Beasts.

And there were only a few races where the entire race had evolved into intelligent beings.

Among which, the most powerful were the merfolk tribes scattered across the seabed.

As a result, many merfolk were born proud, given that they came from an environment where "other beings were idiots."

"Human, do you know who he is?" Another merfolk beside the arrogant one noticed Lin Ke's indifference and immediately rebuked: "He is a descendant of the Star Reef Merfolk, with the blood of stars in his veins!"

Star Reef, the place where the Prince of Stars once grew up, now revered as a holy land.

"Linke Azen, an ordinary human, but I'm currently in the Royal Palace of the Gula Kingdom." Lin Ke replied softly, his gaze lowered, too lazy to look at them.

"Count Linke, I know you." The leading merfolk snorted coldly: "I could permit you to be my servant, and if I'm satisfied, you'll have the chance to be rewarded, to be rewarded with a stargazing opportunity at Star Reef."

The Ocean of Stars and Waves, a place reflecting the entire starry sky.

There, comprehending star-related laws is easier.

For instance, the Moon Goddess and the Prince of Stars were among the best examples.

However, not all of the Ocean of Stars and Waves were the same; there were exceptions, like some reef areas, coral areas, etc., with denser laws and elements.

Comprehending laws in those places would yield twice the result with half the effort.

But...

Lin Ke didn't lack feedback, so why bother?

Even if he did lack...

The Gula Kingdom had comprehension spots for the two ultimate laws of light and darkness, so why look far afield?

A Desert Giant Lizard from the Extreme West Countries also spoke up: "Count Linke, you humans like gold coins, could I buy it with gold coins?"

The Desert Giant Lizard that spoke was covered in earth-yellow scales, emanating a strong smell of sulfur.

They walked upright, resembling Lizardmen but were different; their entire race had evolved into intelligent beings with complete inheritance and even their own kingdom.

"Gold coins? No." Lin Ke had no problem with this straightforward inquiry and declined directly: "Unless you give me a complete separated legendary law or divinity, otherwise no deal."

A legendary law or divinity!

Even if they had it, how could they give it away?

After all, what Lin Ke had was merely for enhancing affinity.

And a complete divinity, once absorbed, could enable one to become a god directly, and a legendary law could let one fully comprehend a law.

Even if they had it, it was impossible to trade.

So, the Desert Giant Lizard could only shake its head in regret and give up.

The Minotaur nearby was the same, and he was even poorer, not being able to afford even gold coins.

"Ha." That merfolk sneered: "Once on the battlefield of the noble council, it won't be yours."

"If you keep chattering, you'll be the first I'll kill." Lin Ke looked at him indifferently.

That merfolk's eyes immediately flared with anger: "How dare you speak to me like that?!"

Lin Ke was already too lazy to bother with him; if this merfolk truly had access to Star Reef anytime, to feel a variety of laws, why would he covet a rotten wood piece?

After sensing the law, Lin Ke handed the rotten wood piece to Garoce.

Garoce had been ignoring those people from the beginning, the pride of the Gula Nobility manifesting strongly in him; Garoce was the epitome of a noble.

"Father, this can help comprehend the law, you should try it." Lin Ke himself could also comprehend the law now.

But Garoce could as well, given that at level fifteen, he could sense weak laws, using it would be even more effective in Garoce's hands.

"Alright." Garoce took it calmly, ignoring the surrounding gazes. His title was earned in battle; if he dared lance even the Moon Goddess, let alone a mere merfolk.

However, not long after, they were summoned.

Including Lin Ke, they went to the large hall they had just been in, where there were only a few people.

There were the Ratman King of the Holy Life Alliance, the Prince of Stars from the Ocean of Stars and Waves, a councilor from the Eternal Freeze Court, and... the Eldest Prince of the Gula Kingdom!
