There were a lot of people in the war gambling den.
However, Lin Ke didn't know many people in the imperial capital.
"It's you again?!" A girl with light green hair similar to Donna's stood in the crowd with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at Linke, frowning. "Where's that little colored stick?" He didn't come with you?! "
Lin Ke nodded to the tall knight standing behind her, "If you really want to, I can tell you where he lives. It will be more convenient for you to find him there, but last time when you went to the bar street to find a proper place to eat, you didn't come to this gambling den street to find a place to earn money, right?"
"Bullshit!" The girl swore, "I'm here to get the money. I bet on myself. After winning, I will take the money I earn. It's clean. Why, are you not convinced?"
Lin Ke frowned and suddenly lost the desire to continue chatting with her. "Very good. I wish you less compensation and more profit. See you later."
"Hey, you still haven't said your name, are you here to participate in the entrance exams as well?!" The girl shouted from behind Linke, "I will keep my word. If I meet you in the arena, I will beat you into a pig's head!"
Lin Ke was annoyed in his heart, but he did not reply. Instead, he turned around and left.
Lilisse turned her head and gave the girl a deep look. It seemed that she wouldn't show any mercy if she met her in the ring.
After Lin Ke had walked far away, the tall knight who had been standing silently behind the girl suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Hilda, why did you pretend to be so unreasonable?"
"Hmph, he's just an eyesore and a coward. He doesn't even dare to retort when I say it like that, how unpromising," Hilda said with a somewhat complicated expression. "It's a pity for his good appearance, and also for those two girls who look very comfortable."
The Knight suddenly laughed, "So it turns out that Hilda has fallen for him. To be honest, I don't think there's anything wrong with him. If you are interested, I will send someone to investigate for you."
Hilda immediately retorted with a slightly reddened face, "Uncle Bo Te, what are you talking about? How could I possibly like this kind of guy? He went to the bar to play around and even came to the gambling den to play. One look and he's clearly an unprofessional noble young master!"
However, he did not intend to reject the Knight's idea of helping her look into the matter.
"A young noble like you who doesn't work properly wouldn't be able to reach Rank 4 at such a young age. You should be clear about the circumstances, how much did you pay to become a Rank 4?" Without enough talent and perseverance, he won't be able to go far on the road of cultivation, "the tall knight called Bo Te smiled and said," I think you can really pay attention to his performance in the second round. After all, if you enter the War God Academy, he'll be your big opponent. "
Hilda did not reply. She raised her head and looked at the place where Lin Ke and the rest had disappeared, lost in thought.

After receiving the gold coins, Link's mood improved a lot.
After all, even in the eyes of a noble like the Murters' family, this amount of money was not small.
When he returned to the Chamber of Commerce, it was already completely dark. When he returned to his room, Harris and the door handle had some work to do, so he left the others in the meeting hall.
After a moment of silence, the kitten girl, Merry, tactfully ran off to make tea.
"Elder cousin, do you know of the Dis clan?" Linke asked suddenly.
"The Dis clan?!" Hubert's eyes widened. "Why did you suddenly ask about this?!"
Hubert fell into deep thought for a long time, but finally said something serious, "A few decades ago, Dis was a family name that could be considered revered in the entire Warlord Empire, because their old master once existed as a minister of industry. His family was once a noble family in the Empire, and although his family was high above them, he suddenly and completely disappeared from this world overnight. Yes, he disappeared!"
"Including the disappearance of all members of the direct line of descent of the clan. The clan's encampment has been reduced to rubble and the clan's territory has become a famous lake, which is like a divine punishment! However, the strange thing is that after the incident happened, no one from the Imperial Family or even the aristocracy of the wargod empire stood out to investigate. It was as if everyone had instantly reached some kind of strange tacit understanding with each other, and this incident that should have caused the entire empire to shake up just like that, just left it at that! "
Hubert paused for a moment to calm his heart before continuing, "After that came all sorts of rumors. Some said that the Dis family angered the great War God and met with calamity, some said that the Dis family was actually the empire's biggest traitor being cleansed by the imperial family, and some said …" They say the Dis family touched the bottom line of War God Academy, and their family was destroyed in one night … "
"They touched the bottom line of War God Academy?" Lin Ke slightly frowned, "The War God Academy has such great power, to actually be able to destroy the empire's highest level noble family in one night?!"
I don't know, "Hubert shook his head without hesitation." Perhaps only the true upper echelons will be able to know the details of the matter, but after that, there has been some change in the attitude of the aristocrats towards the academy, these are all stories passed down among the seniors in the academy, and no one really knows the specifics. What we all know is, War God Academy is really not as simple as they seem to be, at least, all the teachers are experts of the Dragon Strength realm.
"And faintly, we can also hear from their mouths that there is an even more mysterious group above them," He let out a long breath, obviously this topic put a lot of pressure on him, "Furthermore, the true members of the royal family don't behave so lawlessly in the academy. Do you remember the day we saw the royal family travel in the distant palace? Even though I haven't really met this prince, but some rumors said that there's no difference between her and the other ordinary students. When she gets to the entrance of the academy, she has to get out of the car and walk, as if she's violating the academy's rules, and she has to receive punishment. "
"War God Academy …" Whether the destruction of the Dis Family was related to the War God Academy or not, the fact that it could be related to such a big event was in itself a sign of approval. Not to mention that it was the cradle of the Empire's strongest warriors, so how could the powerhouses from here not contribute to their alma mater?
"Master, the young master Feyas who came with us to the imperial city is looking for you," the kitten girl, Merrie, timidly stuck her head out the door and said.
Lin Ke couldn't help but laugh. "Bring him here."
After a while, Phias had arrived. This time, he was the only one who came, and the old man who always followed him did not follow.
"Hey, Cohen, our Wind City has really gained a lot of face this time," Pheas waved the booklet in his hand, it should be a product of the war gambling den, "Lily is ranked second among the star seeded contestants, it's the first time it's been in the Wind City for a hundred years!"
Lin Ke was stunned. He opened the booklet and found the most eye-catching part of the first few pages. The second of the five star seeded contestants had the name Lilisse Mona written on it! At the back, there was a line of small words, 'Wind City's Moutes'.
"Haha, it really is amazing! Lilisse," Lin Ke smiled and handed the booklet to Lilisse, but the latter only glanced at it indifferently before handing it to Xue'er, "Wind City's Moutes' family. Hehe, I wonder how this booklet will look when it reaches the family. Interesting. Right, did you pass the first round, Phias?"
Hearing this, Phias' face became pale, "My luck can be considered bad, I actually ran into a top genius, who has already reached the peak of the third stage of Xiong Li. I am lucky that I wasn't heavily injured after this battle."
"Don't worry," Lin Ke patted his shoulder and said, "Go back and train well. When next year comes around, you might already be at the Fourth Stage of Bear Strength. The first round will be completely over! Even if we can't enter in the end, who says that experts can't come out from the outside world? My grandfather isn't a student of War God Academy. "
Sigh, you don't have to comfort me, I can still think things through. But, Cohen, you, Lilisse, and Xue'er, you three have to work hard. Don't let people outside look down on us, and let them know that we can also produce top geniuses! "I'm leaving, packing up and planning to return to the Wind City tomorrow. The atmosphere in the capital is quite warm, but we're still not used to it. Instead, we miss the Feng Tian'er. Let's go!"
"Have a safe journey." Rincewind was beginning to like Feyas' free and easy character. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to let things go.
Phias waved his hand without looking back, and in a moment he was far away.
For some inexplicable reason, Lin Ke thought of the Imperial examinations in his previous life. People would often only pay attention to the glory of the name on the Golden Ranking, while there would also be some who would pay attention to the backimages of those whose names had been left behind.
Everywhere was the sky, the only difference was the human heart.
"Cohen, this is a newly published book of the war gambling den, it's much thinner than the previous ones," Xue'er pointed at the name on the book, "There are still dozens of third stage Xiong Li's remaining, but there are only nine fourth stage Xiong Li's including the two of you, so it's worth studying."
"Oh?" There are only eighteen people on the fourth level of Xiong Li, and after the first two matches, there will only be nine left. In other words, we can make up four pairs, and there's still one lucky person who won't make it in the air, "Don't let me and Lilisse fight against each other, everything else is still better, hmm, the star seeded contestant Martin, Lilisse, Hilda, Luther, Sauron, hm? "Hilda, Hilda, isn't that the guy with green hair?"
"Are you talking about me?" Donna walked into the hall, grinning.
