This Lord is Very Scientific

Lin Ke and his party returned, and Rica came back shortly after.

"This time my father did such a great job!" Rica returned excitedly and, after closing the door, started to exclaim, "Let me tell you, Lin Ke, I just said one sentence, why fifty people, and the Prince of Stars was actually dissatisfied,

then my father got angry, and the laws of the entire hall shattered, that Prince of Stars was crushed to less than stardust..."

Lin Ke listened quietly to Rica, showing a smile.

After Rica finished speaking, Lin Ke suddenly grabbed Rica's hand and embraced her.

The room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Thank you, Rica." Lin Ke gently stroked Rica's hair. Rica, whose body had been stiff lying in Lin Ke's arms, relaxed after hearing this.

"What are you saying, Little Lin Ke." Rica raised her head, her clear, cute green eyes looking at Lin Ke, and then slowly approached him, her fresh red lips lightly tapping Lin Ke's mouth. "Really good taste, hehe."

Lin Ke's body stiffened for a moment and then he kissed her deeply.

Rica's pupils were slightly shocked, while Lin Ke began to enjoy that kind of feeling.

Lin Ke was already eighteen years old, perhaps due to hormones or something else at work, he really enjoyed this feeling now.

After a long while, the lips parted.

"What are you doing!" Rica dared not look at Lin Ke, her eyelids lowered, her face was red.

"Thank you so much, Rica, I mean it." Lin Ke said earnestly.

If it weren't for Rica, he figured he would be just as much valued as Garoce at most, definitely not achieving the level of favoritism from the Insomnia Emperor.

Moreover, Rica had also put in the effort.

The key point is, Lin Ke could sense that Rica wanted to take care of his self-esteem, so she would deliberately play it innocent, reminding him of both big and small matters "unintentionally".

"Alright, alright, go be your Minstrel now." Rica nudged him.

Lin Ke scratched his head, chuckled twice and then transformed into Minstrel Buck, took his guitar and walked out of the inn.

He planned to go to the Flame Tavern today to gather intel from the Minotaur Baluto.

Originally, he had the plan to investigate the Holy Life Alliance, especially now that he learned certain information, he couldn't help but go now.

The Minotaur race was the one in charge of the Holy Life Alliance's faction in this aristocratic council, and they were sure to have some control over the information concerning the alliance.

He wanted to investigate thoroughly which Wild Boar Tribe was participating in this noble council and whether they had a Shaman in their ranks.

Lin Ke transformed into Minstrel Buck and headed straight to the Flame Tavern on that floor.

...

Arriving at the tavern, business wasn't great, after all, it wasn't evening yet.

"Boss, malt beer."

Lin Ke tossed over a silver coin, "Give me ten cups first, I'll drink slowly."

The boss chuckled twice, accepted the silver coin, poured a beer, and handed it over.

The boss was well aware that people like this usually came to gather information, but as long as he could make money, he didn't mind much.

Lin Ke drank cup after cup, his body emitting a faint aura of a practitioner to deter the bar's thieves, pickpockets, or drunks who wanted to cause trouble.

The noise gradually grew, but Lin Ke didn't mind and continued drinking.

Soon, Lin Ke glanced back and saw two tall Minotaurs entering Flame Tavern.

Minotaurs!

The Minotaur leader from today, and the Minotaur Baluto he met in the Scarlet Wilderness yesterday.

Lin Ke smiled, got up, went to the staircase corner, and deliberately showed a side face for the two Minotaurs to see, then went upstairs.

The two Minotaurs saw it, of course.

They pushed aside those blocking their way, the practitioners' aura making others dare not act rashly or shout.

The boss realized that these two Minotaurs were looking for Lin Ke and did not stop them.

The two Minotaurs reached upstairs and saw the room corresponding to the stairwell, where Minstrel Buck stood by the bed, looking out the window.

The two Minotaurs exchanged glances and walked in.

"Bang!"

As they entered, the door closed as if blown by the wind.

"Do you want to form an alliance with me?"

Lin Ke's voice was gloomy and sorrowful.

So direct?

The Minotaur leader was startled at first, then nodded and replied, "…Yes, may I ask which noble of the Gula Kingdom you are under?"

Lin Ke turned around, pointed to the bed that hadn't been touched, "Sit."

Then Lin Ke waved his hand, a thin pressure-shield as thin as a cicada's wings instantly covered the entire room and started to tremble slightly, emitting extremely weak sound waves, canceling out the sounds in the room.

With an increase in level, Lin Ke was more adept at controlling and manipulating skills.

Now, no sound could go out, allowing for secure communication.

"I need all information on the Wild Boar Tribes of the Holy Life Alliance..." Lin Ke said lightly.

"All information?" The Minotaur leader's huge eyes widened, "You want me to betray my tribe?!"

As he spoke, the Minotaur leader slapped the back of the other Minotaur Baluto's head: "Is this the ally you mentioned?"

Baluto, having his head slapped by the Minotaur, had little reaction, just a bit dazed, "Aren't you a rich man? A wealthy noble? Didn't you say to form an alliance?"

Simple-minded Baluto... Lin Ke chuckled, feeling a bit of goodwill towards this Minotaur: "Indeed an alliance, but doesn't forming an alliance require exchanging information?"

"But why should we tell you?!" Baluto was also a bit angry, "The Wild Boar Race is one of our main members!"

Main members?!

Lin Ke's eyes glinted sharply, the Minotaur leader slapped Baluto again, "What are you saying!"

The Minotaur leader looked toward Lin Ke, his aura turning dangerous: "What a pity, I thought humans from the top of the Scarlet Wilderness could be collaborators..."

He gradually walked over, magic power beginning to surge through his body.

Level seventeen powerhouse!

The Minotaur's plan was simple; how could someone with malicious intents to probe for information be an ally?

As the leader this time, even if pushed to jump from the first layer of the abyss, even if starving, he would...

"One of the nobles behind me is Count Linke." Lin Ke elegantly sat in a chair, speaking without a blush or heartbeat, as if Count Linke was some kind of big shot.

However, the Minotaur leader did indeed stopped.

He looked at Lin Ke with suspicion, hesitatingly said, "Do you...know His Highness Linke?"

"As close as brothers," Lin Ke smiled, "I'm investigating the Wild Boars, and it's related to Count Linke."

Saying this, he carefully observed the expressions of these two Minotaurs, but there was almost no change, showing no signs of nervousness.

"Fine, since it's related to Count Linke, then let's form an alliance!"

"Additionally, we do have a Shaman in our team!"
