This Lord is Very Scientific-Chapter 123 - 102: 1 Large Wave of Followers

Reception Room.

"I possess a method to resist legendary-level power, and additionally, according to the ’Naseng Collective Agreement,’ it’s stated that legends shouldn’t act lightly, so you can rest assured."

Rica, sensing Lin Ke’s gaze, briefly explained.

Everyone felt relieved, and Lin Ke also breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, on a stack of "contract scrolls" bound by divine power provided by Princess Rica, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement.

Contract scrolls bound by divine power will restrain the signer unless their power surpasses that of the divine power bearer.

The divine power on Princess Rica’s contract scrolls came from the Queen of the Insomnia Emperor, the Mother of Elements and Dragons, also known as the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, her Excellency Boro Shilong with the Water Dragon as her essence.

It is rumored that Her Excellency Boro possesses a level comparable to the King of Gods of the past, at least above level 25.

All the nobles signing the contract with Lin Ke are below level 15 and are unlikely to break through level 20.

And if they surpass level 20, they wouldn’t covet Lin Ke’s possessions.

Of course, breaking through level 20 is something to just think about; even reaching level 15 is challenging for them.

Thus, breaking the contract’s constraints is nearly impossible.

After signing the contract and getting to know each other, Lin Ke also revealed the use of gunpowder, although the formula was not disclosed.

There were also war tools like catapults, crossbow arrows, and others.

The nobles easily understood Lin Ke’s explanation of things other than gunpowder and each expressed their ability to enhance the power of these items.

For instance, the [Inscriber] could enchant, the [Blacksmith] could modify, the [Secret Realm Drawer] could provide protection...

Lin Ke realized that despite the elevation of the Azanen Family to viscount due to Garoce, it couldn’t compare to even other long-established viscounts, let alone counts.

This power is reflected not only in military strength and high-end experts but also in the richness of professional types, adequate basic infrastructure, and resources.

Regarding the types of professionals, currently, apart from Ove, Lin Ke could present only level six [Butler] Billy and level one [Doctor] and [Poison Master] Knicks.

At most, there could be half a [Singer] Sophie and half a [Chemist] Granny Hisai.

In total, not more than ten.

It’s uncertain how many more the other nobles of the Azanen Family possess.

So, after concluding the discussion with Princess Rica and others, Lin Ke met with the previously encountered nobles of Azanen once again.

...

Whether it was the so-called Clan Council or other members of the Azanen clan, their expressions became complex this time.

Lin Ke stated his intentions directly without saying much: "Viscount Garoce will return by year’s end. This is the information I’ve received."

Lin Ke spoke with conviction, making the expressions of the Azanen members even more complex.

"Submit to me, Linke Azen, or be destroyed by me," Lin Ke said his final words, then looked at everyone expressionlessly.

A moment of silence ensued.

The Azanen members had already heard of the turmoil from the south and Lin Ke’s previous words, which, combined with Lin Ke’s six-year-old appearance, made their expressions extremely complex.

They knew the power of certain bloodlines, but they were unaware of which specific bloodline Lin Ke inherited that made him so formidable and intelligent.

At this point, they had to submit, or face death!

"I am willing to pledge allegiance to you, Young Master Lin Ke." Baron Puxin, also known as Baron Sandier, was the first to kneel on one knee.

With his lead, a group of lords and Pioneer Knights also knelt on one knee, declaring their allegiance.

The four barons exchanged glances, sighed, and then also knelt on one knee.

"We pledge allegiance to you, Young Master Lin Ke."

The Azanen’s four barons, eighteen lords, and three Pioneer Knights all pledged allegiance.

Among them were those who admired Lin Ke, feared Ove behind him, and were resigned to the current situation.

There was no choice; even if they could escape during the chaos, no noble in the Black and White Kingdom would accept a disgraced noble who fled in times of danger, and might even scorn such a coward.

Moreover...

"I hereby swear, I shall lead the Azanen to supreme glory!" Lin Ke, having received their allegiance, solemnly vowed.

The gazes of the Azanen members became dazed for a moment: not only did Young Master Lin Ke seem more charismatic and bold than Garoce, but there was also a chance that he could lead the Azanen to even greater heights...

Even the four elderly barons began to change their attitude.

They had unexplainable pride but weren’t foolish.

So, the discussions commenced.

After pledging allegiance to Lin Ke, the Azanen members laid aside their previous self-interested mindset of seeking power and profit.

With Lin Ke’s wisdom, Ove’s strength, and Garoce’s imminent return, they were content to become obedient as before.

Lin Ke also gained some surprises from this.

Despite seeming like a waste, these Azanen nobles harbored significant hidden strength.

In this critical moment, they were all revealed.

For instance, Baron Puxin, although only a level-three professional now, had a household with over ten professionals, the highest level reaching two.

The other barons were similar, with professionals ranging from level one to level three.

Combined with some stored grain, weapons, and equipment, Lin Ke found the power he controlled to be more substantial than imagined.

Moreover, the long-elder dragged away by Butler Billy hadn’t died; in fact, Billy had somehow managed to subdue him thoroughly, and now he was quite obedient.

The entire Azanen, at least on the surface, was now entirely under Lin Ke’s control!

"Everyone, send messengers swiftly." Lin Ke prudently ensured the Azanen members stayed behind, so their territories would surely send support.

The Azanen members all understood Lin Ke’s intention and, regardless of their motives, sent people to rally their forces.

After accounting, soothing, and integrating the forces of the nobles and Azanen, Lin Ke felt a boost in confidence.

Once everyone had gone to rest in guest rooms, Lin Ke received another group of people.

...

"Sir, so your meaning is..."

Lin Ke, looking at the elegant middle-aged gentleman before him, couldn’t help but speak with some excitement in his tone.

The middle-aged man had flowing golden hair, wore the most ordinary cloth outfit, yet exuded an air of lazy luxury and romance. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Yes, dear Mr. Lin Ke, we, or rather most of us, have come with this intention," the middle-aged man responded softly, a smile on his face.

In the reception room, besides the middle-aged gentleman, there were eleven others.

A total of twelve professionals, eleven men and one woman.

The lowest level was five, the highest level was ten.

Remarkably, these professionals intended to attach themselves to the Azanen!

Some wanted a home after wandering for so long, some were drawn by Lin Ke’s potential, others were intimidated by Ove, and some saw the absence of a family head in Azanen as an opportunity...

Hence, they chose to visit on Lin Ke’s birthday.

Originally, there were over twenty people, but some retreated upon seeing the impending chaos for Azanen.

But even with twelve people, Lin Ke was quite satisfied!

These are twelve professionals!

"Everyone, if you could, please introduce yourselves?" Lin Ke looked at them.

The middle-aged man was the first to stand up: "I am Lamiel, a level ten [Minstrel], initially just wanting to witness the young eagle of Azanen, but couldn’t help being awed by the eaglet’s first cry..."

Saying this, Lamiel knelt on one knee, pounding his chest with his right hand: "I, Lamiel, vow to follow Lin Ke Azen and bear witness to the ancient and noble glory of the aristocracy!"
