The age of great voyages

Chapter 268 Goodbye Mother and Domineering Father
Looking back, the other three were all there. Just now the emperor seemed to have received the four of them at the same time. The space inside is unusual, as if it was made of countless overlapping spaces, allowing the emperor to receive different ministers at the same time.

The female officer waited for him to come out and glanced at him. Lin Chen felt a hint of surprise in her eyes. He flicked his sleeves and took out something like an imperial edict and said:

"His Majesty decreed that Jonah Clifford be granted the title of Baron Seablue, and he will be entrusted with the land of Seablue Plane."

"Your Majesty ordered that Edward Leonard be made the Baron of Chishi and confer the land of Chishi Plane."

Yes, it is the imperial decree, and this thing has also been moved here.

After reading three chapters in one breath, the female officer raised her head and glanced at Lin Chen, took out a scroll that seemed to be more refined and said:

"Your Majesty ordered that Lin Chen be made the Earl of the Great Wilderness, and be entrusted with the Great Wilderness Plane."

As soon as the words fell, the other three people were extremely shocked and envious. Even the female officer's attitude changed a little, and she was slightly less cold compared to just now.

Baron Jonah immediately congratulated him:

"Congratulations, Your Excellency Lin Chen!"

The same was true for little Edward, only Calido was still as hostile as ever, thanked the lady officer blankly, turned and left.

Now the imperial decree is only issued to them to let them know, but before they know it, another official decree has already been announced through the official channels of the empire, according to the level of the decree. There is also a new earl, and it is estimated that the news has already spread throughout the imperial capital.

Just like traditional aristocratic titles, there are five levels: duke, marquis, count, son and male. Baron and viscount are the lower nobles, and earls and above are considered high nobles. Especially in the Babylonian Empire, titles are canonized according to their own strength, that is to say Lin Chen's strength was already comparable to other great nobles in the eyes of the empire.

Moreover, this is the result of Lin Chen hiding part of his strength.

At least he hid half of the two thousand legendary dragon mages who were quietly promoted after the war, and he would hide the number of subsequent recruitments, only revealing the normal five recruitments a month.

It's a pity that everything that should be exposed in a big battle is exposed, and there is no way to hide more strength, so let's keep a low profile in the days to come.

Lin Chen considered recuperating for more than ten years first, developing the territory first, and accumulating the world spirits again. The previous consumption of so much damage the world spirits. Fortunately, there is a tree of life, and it has been promoted to the ancient tree, which can maximize Limit and heal the damage of the world spirit, otherwise it will be replaced by an ordinary world spirit. This kind of depletion of the world's original power that has been reduced by two levels in one breath is enough to cause permanent trauma to the world spirit.

Coming out of the Imperial Palace, they exchanged contact information with Jonah and Little Edward on the square in front of the Imperial Palace. They agreed to contact each other when they had time, and then they left separately. They had just become imperial nobles, and everyone was very busy.

An exquisite but low-key and not luxurious carriage was pulled by four white flying horses and landed not far from Lin Chen, who was considering whether to visit the imperial capital first or go to the Tower of the Highest. He raised his head subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat. Inexplicably throbbing in his heart, he stared at the door of the carriage, and the door curtain strung together with jewels was pulled open, from which came out a blurred but extremely familiar figure buried in his memory.

Lin Chen stood motionless in place. It wasn't until the figure came in front of him that he subconsciously said the word.

".mother!"

This is a beautiful woman who looks somewhat similar to Lin Chen. She is exactly the same as in Lin Chen's memory. Maybe she has been in a wealthy family for these years, and her every move is more dignified and beautiful, with a noble and gentle temperament. She came to Lin Chen and looked up. Looking at him, the voice trembled and reached out to touch his face, tears welled up in his eyes:

"My Chen'er, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Familiar appearance, familiar voice, the endless complaints in Lin Chen's heart disappeared instantly with this sound, he squatted in front of her and let her hold her head and cry.

I don't know how long it took before my mother's crying gradually became quieter. She wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and took him by the hand to walk towards the carriage:
"Chen'er, go back with Mother, and tell Mother about your experiences over the past few years."

His mother's hand was still so warm, and he obediently let her pull her into the carriage, which was a space of its own, luxuriously decorated like a palace, served by several handsome maids, it seemed that she was doing well here.

In the car, his mother took his hand and kept asking him.

Lin Chen also answered one by one. Of course, all the answers were processed. It is better that she does not know some things.

The mother and child have not finished for decades, and there are endless words to ask endless questions. Unknowingly, I don’t know how long it has passed, the carriage stopped suddenly, and a maid standing at the door opened the curtain and whispered:
"Madam, we have arrived."

His mother pulled him out of the carriage, and found that the carriage had come to a huge building complex that stretched for tens of miles. It should be in a garden. The courtyard was full of unknown flowers. From a distance, the stars were scattered and colorful. This flower is probably extremely valuable, and its light fragrance is refreshing and refreshing.

The courtyard is magnificently decorated, the attic pavilions are antique, the rockery is full of mountains, lifelike, a very clear stream surrounds the rockery, and there is a small forest on the other side with many ornamental trees planted in it, which is very beautiful.

However, Lin Chen only looked away for a few seconds, and his face sank, because his good mood was ruined by a man walking out of the garden arch not far away.

The ancient magical power came to them with strides, and the mother gave a slight salute and called her husband, he gave a "hmm", his eyes swept around Lin Chen, with a satisfied expression on his face, he said to his mother:

"Your son is good. I'll come to your place for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he turned around and left. With this gesture, Lin Chen had veins popping out on his forehead, and he had the urge to hit him.

At this time, a white-haired old man who followed the ancient supernatural power came up with a smile, saluted his mother and Lin Chen impeccably, and said:
"Madam, the master has ordered that the Jasmine Garden on Ancient God Island be rewarded to you. You can move there some time."

When the mother heard this, there was a trace of surprise in her eyes and she said:

"Butler, why is this?"

The old man had white hair tied up with a hemp rope. His whole body was extremely refreshing. Every move he made complied with a certain etiquette. He bent slightly and answered:

"This is the master's decision."

She wanted to ask again, but the old housekeeper didn't say much, just asked his wife to ask the master, and then left.

Although the mother was full of doubts, but the son was not in the mood to think too much at this time, and quickly put these things behind her, dragged Lin Chen into the house, and asked the maid to prepare the dishes.

Afterwards, mother and son chatted, mostly with her asking questions and answering him. Lin Chen once again felt the long-lost maternal love and forgot all his worries for a while.

But the time passed so fast that he didn't even realize it was night. It wasn't until the sound of powerful footsteps from the ancient magic power came from outside the door that he suddenly realized that it was night.

To this father, Lin Chen didn't know what to say. From a man's point of view, he had nothing to say, but from a son's point of view, he was full of complaints, but he couldn't say anything because he beat him. but.

Judging from the mother's few words and seeing him twice during this period, this is a very domineering man, he says what he says, even if he is his son, he will beat him if he gets angry. Didn't say anything, just looked at him indifferently.

But Gu Shentong didn't care about his attitude at all. He finished the meal as if no one else was around. As soon as the bowl and chopsticks were put down, the mother also put down the bowl and chopsticks. Before she finished eating the rice in the bowl, she quickly got up and got a wet towel from the maid to prepare it. He cleans the oil from his mouth.

But he stopped him by stretching out his hand, held his mother's hand and let her sit aside and said:
"You don't need to do this kind of thing in the future, and move to Ancient God Island after a while."

Looking up at Lin Chen, he said in an undeniable tone:
"You will also move there when the time comes."

Lin Chen replied with the same expressionless expression:

"Your Majesty has rewarded me with the Earl's Mansion, and I live there."

Gu Shentong looked at him with a hint of a smile:
"Tomorrow His Majesty will send someone to tell you that the Earl's Mansion has been taken back."

Lin Chen: Nima!
"I'm rich, and I'll buy a house in the imperial capital to live in."

"No one will sell it to you."

"cut!"

The ancient magical power didn't pay attention to his doubts at all, and just continued:

"I will go back to the ancient god island tomorrow, and I will worship my ancestors and enter the temple in a month. All the elders want to see you. In addition, I have made arrangements to study at a high school next year. It happens that Princess Lingji is studying there. Your mission is to pursue Lingji. Princess Ji, if you succeed, you will be included in the line of successors of my Ancient God Clan."

"I'm not interested. My territory hasn't been settled yet. I want to go back."

"What's so good about the broken territory, inheriting the patriarch of my ancient god clan is ten thousand times stronger than your broken territory."

"The broken territory was also established by me with one hand and one foot. What does your ancient gods have to do with me?"

When Lin Chen said this, the unexpected ancient supernatural power did not immediately refute. He looked up at Lin Chen seriously, and suddenly smiled evilly:
"You may not know that there are hundreds of wives in this seat, and your mother is just one of them. Not only does she have no official status, she has not even entered the ancestral hall of my ancient god family, and she will not be able to be buried in the ancestral land after death. Are you Her son is more expensive than a mother, and she is now qualified to be included in the ancient god ancestral temple, and I will give her an official title, are you sure you want to go your own way?"

Lin Chen remained silent. In just one day, he had already realized that his mother had not been living a good life these past few years.

Marrying into a top wealthy family like the Ancient God Clan, an ordinary woman like her from the distant Void Realm has no support from her tribe and no son by her side. She will definitely not be able to live well alone, and her status can be imagined. .

Faced with this situation, he couldn't say anything later.

Gu Shentong didn't continue to say more ugly things, but just said to him:
"Think about it for yourself and give me an answer tomorrow. Get out now. I will sleep here tonight."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, and an irresistible force surged in. Before his eyes, Ichika found that he had been moved from the room to the door. Several maids at the door saw that one of the women in a green skirt said softly:

"Master, Madam has arranged a room for you, please come with me."

Lin Chen stood at the door and gritted his teeth for a long time, but finally turned around bitterly.

Damn Xipi, if he couldn't beat him, he would definitely rush in and throw that man out.

In the room, as he had imagined, after an action movie that was not suitable for children, Gu Shentong said to the woman in his arms:
"Do you still blame me for taking you away forcibly despite your objection?"

The woman didn't speak, but Gu Shentong smiled freely:
"I know you're still blaming me for abandoning him, but it's also for his own good. You mother and child have nothing to rely on. Do you think he can survive until now?"

"I know, but..."

"It's a good thing that he is up to the challenge. He is indeed the seed of my ancient supernatural powers. Now he is the earl canonized by His Majesty, and his strength has also been affirmed by the elders in the battle not long ago. Take him back to Ancient God Island in a few days and prepare By recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan, you can also have a formal name."

"Husband."

"Don't talk, Husband hasn't seen you for a long time, let me take a good look."

In a certain room, Lin Chen was sitting cross-legged on a large bed tens of square meters, staring at an antique blue lamp in front of him in a daze. At this moment, there was no anger on his face, and he was just contemplating.

As that bastard dad said, he has no choice, and relying on the ancient gods can save him countless troubles, but he just feels a little uncomfortable.

There was one thing that surprised him. He had always thought that his father's family was called the Gu clan. It turned out that his real name was the Gushen clan, and his surname was Gushen, not just Gu.

Once this person figured it out, the next thing was logical. After staying with his mother for a few days, he moved to the Ancient God Island with his mother.

The so-called Ancient God Island does not refer to a certain island, but to the name of a floating island surrounding the Supreme Tower. This is also the core of the ancestral land of the Ancient God clan.

The Supreme Tower is the center and ruling core of this void domain. It is a huge tower suspended in the sky. It has five floors, with the lowest being the first floor and the highest being the fifth floor. Each floor has an indefinite number of people who are powerful. The floating islands wrapped in the energy shield rotate around the Supreme Tower. The higher you go up, the fewer the floating islands are and the larger the area.

The Ancient God Island of the Ancient God Clan is located on the second floor of the Supreme Tower. There are only 72 floating islands in this circle. The first floor has a total of 36 floating islands, while the third floor has 99 floating islands. The so-called [-] top wealthy families refer to the powerful families whose ancestral headquarters are located on these floating islands.

It is said that if any powerful family in this void wants to become the top rich family in this void, they must find a way to settle on a floating island on the lowest floor of the Tower of the Highest, or challenge a family on a floating island to replace them. Can be called the top giants.

Of course, the floating islands on the Tower of the Highest have not been completely occupied, there are still vacancies on each floor, and there is still room, so as long as the latecomers have a way to enter a certain floating island, there is no need to challenge other floating islands. top giants.

The highest floor occupied by the Supreme Tower today is the third floor, which is the floating island of the six void lords. The fourth floor and the highest fifth floor have not been occupied by any force.

And further down on the first floor of the Tower of the Highest, there is a huge foundation where there are many buildings. Many powerful forces cannot enter the floating island, so they choose to occupy a place here. Basically, all Void Lords will have A piece of land.
