The provincial capital, Basil, is the base camp of the ancient Jax family that sits in the northwest province. In the northwest province, the Jax family can be regarded as the emperor of the earth. At the annual Jax family gathering, children of various collateral families rushed to the provincial capital from all over the country.
Northeast of the provincial capital, the ancient castle that covers an extremely wide area is where the Jax family is located.
On November 14, 10008 in the Magnolia calendar, the Jax family was full of lanterns, and the number of guards at the gate was three times higher than in the past, and family members from all over the world often came over.
"Sister, the clan's castle is much bigger than ours, at least ten times bigger." Keene sighed while looking out through the carriage window.
Inside the carriage were Keane, Erin, and Jenny.
Jenny also looked out through the window, nodded and said, "There are obviously many more masters in the clan than us, but I don't know if Grandpa Grandpa will attend the party this time."
The grandfather Jenny was talking about was McKenzie.
McKenzie may not necessarily attend the family's annual gathering, but McKenzie has appeared once in the past two years. At that time, Jenny, Keane and the others fulfilled their desire to see worshipped heroes.
"Probably, Irene has never met Grandpa Grandpa." Keane held his wife's hand.
The convoy arrived at the gate of the castle in a blink of an eye, and stopped naturally. Jenny, Keane, and Erin also knew the rules and got off the carriage one by one.
"Jenny!" A joyful, frivolous voice sounded.
Jenny couldn't help frowning when he heard this voice, but still squeezed out a smile, and turned to look at the young man with shiny hair that could be used as a mirror at the castle gate: "Cousin Albert."
"Cousin Albert." Keane and Irene also saluted.
Albert, he looks like a dog, and his childhood education also made him have the temperament of an ancient noble. Just by looking at the eyes and the expression on his face, he can tell that this person must be fond of beauty, causing his body to be hollowed out.
But Albert, the eldest son of the current Jax family patriarch, is also the first heir.
The future head of the Jax family. With such an identity, who would dare to underestimate Albert
"Jenny is getting prettier every year, Keane, Irene, don't stand here stupidly, come in." Albert enthusiastically led Jenny's group into the castle.
…
Because the family reunion was on November 15th, many people arrived on the 14th. On the night of the 14th, the entire Jax family's castle was unprecedentedly lively.
"Sister, are you worrying about Albert?"
In Jenny's room, Keane walked in and saw Jenny standing at the window sighing, knowing what Jenny was thinking.
Jenny looked back at his brother, frowned, and said, "Then Albert has always been malicious. Every time he attends family gatherings, he comes to pester him. It's been a tough day these few days."
"Sister." Keen held his sister's hand and said apologetically, "I know my sister is here to stay with me for a longer time, otherwise, my sister would have left with Big Brother Lei long ago."
"Kean." Jenny fondly patted Keane's head, "Kean is taller than my sister."
Keane lowered his head silently.
Jenny has been taking care of Keane since he was a child. Since arriving at the Holy Alliance, their mother has been seriously ill and bedridden, and Jenny has taken care of Keane just like her mother.
The sibling relationship is really deep.
"Jenny, cousin Jenny." Albert's voice sounded again.
Both Keane and Jenny frowned, and there was a trace of unhappiness on their faces. This Albert is really as annoying as a fly.
In a blink of an eye, Albert arrived at the door of the room.
"Jenny, oh, Keane is also here." Albert said with a smile, "Jenny, I held a small banquet in the back hall, Jenny, let's go together, I also prepared several beautiful sets for me. evening dress."
Jenny shook his head: "No, I'm a little dizzy and uncomfortable."
"Why are you feeling unwell, let me take a look?" That Albert actually stepped forward to touch Jenny's forehead, and Jenny immediately took two steps back.
Keane said with a low smile, "Cousin Albert, sister, she is not feeling well, you should let her rest here."
Albert stayed in place for a while, smiled and nodded: "That's good." Then he stared at Keane, "Kean, come out with me, Cousin Jenny, you have a good rest, if you need anything, Despite the orders." Immediately glanced at Keane.
Keane nodded and went out with Albert.
in the garden.
Albert walked with Keane and remained silent, and Keane could only remain silent.
After a long time...
"Kean, how does it feel to be the lord of the county town?" Albert asked abruptly.
Kean was startled, then realized: "It feels okay."
Albert smiled and nodded: "Of course, managing millions of people, Kean, you must know that there are only ten county towns in the entire Northwest Province. The county town lord, this is a fat shortage. Many people are staring at that As for the location, after all, our Jax family is a big family.”
Keane nodded thoughtfully.
The Jax family kept growing, and naturally there were more than one generation. At the beginning, Keene's father, Earl Weed, was lucky enough to get the position of the lord of the county town because of his close relationship with the current family patriarch.
In fact, the position of the city lord of this county town was completely decided by the chief Jax.
After all, the Northwest Province is under the control of the Jax family.
"Kean, you should know that many of my younger brothers and sisters are adults, such as my third brother, who is only a squadron commander of the city guard now. They all want to be county towns. Where's the city owner?" Albert looked at Keane with a half-smile.
Keane understood what Albert meant.
"Not only my younger siblings, but also my uncles. They didn't compete with your father back then, but they never gave up."
Albert looked at Keane: "Kean, I'm very optimistic about you. But you should also know that to get it, you must pay."
Keane was silent.
"Kean, you can take the seat of the city lord, but I, the future patriarch, can also let you down." Seeing that Keene was silent, Albert said in a cold voice.
"Cousin Albert, just say anything if you have any requests." Keane said with a smile.
Albert laughed: "Haha, you are my cousin, of course I won't force you. I just thought, let's kiss each other, for example, let your sister marry me too. What do you think? ?"
Keane was furious.
He has long known Albert's intentions. Jenny is the kind of gentle, beautiful and kind woman. After practising water magic, her temperament becomes more and more charming.
Albert has been watching.
But Albert is now in his thirties and has three wives. Even if her sister married Albert, she was just filling in the house.
What's more, my sister was going with Linley.
"Cousin Albert, I told you in the past that my sister has someone she likes." Keane said helplessly.
"Joke." Albert sneered, "Kean, if your sister has someone she likes, why isn't she married yet? And even if there is someone she likes, just kill it."
Albert thought of Jenny all the time, a beautiful woman and a magician. You must know that after practicing magic, this lifespan will be longer. It is estimated that even at the age of sixty or seventy, Jenny still looks like a thirty-year-old young woman at most. Such a wife, Albert certainly thought.
"Can't kill, the person my sister likes is a ninth-level powerhouse." Keen said with a ruthless heart.
"A ninth-level powerhouse?" Albert raised his eyebrows.
This is troublesome, if he Albert is the contemporary patriarch, he can call the family's strongest guard to kill a ninth-level powerhouse. But he is just an heir, there are very few people who can be called, and his strength is not too strong.
"Kean, don't lie." Albert looked at Keane coldly.
Keane bowed slightly: "Cousin Albert, I definitely didn't lie. My sister likes him, and I have nothing to do. Cousin Albert, I won't bother you, and I will leave first."
Albert snorted coldly and watched Keane leave.
"It's been five years." Albert looked in the direction of Jenny's room. "This time, I won't let Jenny slip away again. What about the ninth-level powerhouse, who dares to come to my Jax family?" There was a wolf-like fierceness in Albert's eyes.
…
On the fifteenth day, Linley went to the station of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the morning, sent someone to Yunfeng Town through the elder token, and told Cessler and the others that he had postponed his return.
After that, Linley stayed quietly at the Nair Hotel.
There are more than a dozen independent courtyards behind the Nair Hotel. These independent courtyards belong to high-level residences, and Linley lives in one of them.
In the courtyard, Linley finished carving a stone sculpture, and then held the Heiyu epee and danced freely in the courtyard.
Beibei and Heilu lay lazily on the ground.
After dancing for a long time, Linley stopped, thinking in his heart: "It's been more than a year since I reached the peak of level 8. In the last month, I always feel like I want to make a breakthrough, but it's always a little bit worse."
For the average person, the eighth-level peak and the ninth-level might not have much difference.
But for the ultimate warrior, the eighth-level peak and the ninth-level are too different. As long as you enter the ninth level, you will step into the sanctuary after dragon transformation.
"Don't be impatient, my cultivation speed is already very fast." Lin Lei's heart was still relatively calm, looking at the south, Lin Lei thought of his brother Wharton again, "When I reach the ninth level, I will set off for the imperial capital and see my brother. I haven't seen Walton for a long, long time."
The two brothers have not seen each other since Wharton left home at the age of six and went to the O'Brien Empire with Grandpa Ciri, the housekeeper.
And now Wharton is twenty-two years old, and he will be twenty-three in more than a month.
"Huh?" Linley suddenly turned to look at the courtyard wall.
The courtyards of the hotel are next to each other, and a courtyard wall separates the two courtyards. At this time, the guests in the courtyard next to Linley are climbing on the courtyard wall, and their heads are facing this way through the wall. wait and see.
This guest was a cute elf girl, her dark eyes were looking towards Linley, and then she locked onto the black-striped clouded leopard lying on the ground.
"Wow, what a big leopard." The girl jumped from the courtyard wall very flexibly, and then ran towards Hei Lu.
"don't touch it." lei stopped.
The girl stopped, smiled at Lin Lei, and said, "Brother, I have never seen such a cute and big black panther. Can you let me touch it?"
This girl has silver hair, and her eyes are very smart. She often has a mischievous smile on her face, but she is dressed as a female warrior.
Linley looked at the silver-haired girl with scrutiny.
Although it is difficult to fully judge a warrior's strength from his appearance, Linley could judge from this girl's aura that this girl was at least a seventh-level warrior, or even higher.
"heilu doesn't like being touched by others," lei said indifferently.
The silver-haired girl couldn't help frowning, and then she wrinkled her nose and snorted: "I don't believe it, my teacher's monsters often touch me." After saying that, the silver-haired girl rushed directly to Hei Lu.
"Roar~~" Hei Lu stood up abruptly, showing his sharp fangs, staring at the silver-haired girl with cold eyes.
The silver-haired girl was so frightened that she immediately took two steps back.
"As I said, Heilu doesn't like being touched. Well, you should go back to your own place." Linley immediately issued an expulsion order.
The silver-haired girl smiled at Lin Lei and said, "I heard from the master that the leopard monsters are very powerful, then eldest brother, your strength must be very strong. Can I ask you for some advice?"
"Ask for advice?" Linley didn't like his life being disrupted by others.
"Introduce myself first, my name is Dan Lan." The silver-haired girl squinted her eyes cutely.
"You can call me Lei, but I don't have time. You'd better go back." Linley still said indifferently, a girl who was at least a seventh-level soldier.
It's not easy.
The silver-haired girl curled her lips helplessly: "Oh, I see." Then she turned around, but she was troubled in her heart: "This lei is really indifferent, it's hard to get close, but I won't give up so easily, I will try my best to kill him. Simple."
This silver-haired girl is Lan Dan.
Just in terms of temperament, Lan Dan has changed a lot. The cold angel at the beginning has now become cute and lively. I have to say she's great at acting.
"Ah, Brother Lei, you are good at stone carving." Lan Dan saw a stone carving completed by Lin Lei, and immediately ran over excitedly, staring at the stone carving excitedly, "My teacher likes stone carving the most, but he doesn't know how to do it. Sculpture." After speaking, Lan Dan looked at the stone sculpture with curiosity.
lei frowned.
This silver-haired girl is really annoying!
