"Alright, I'll make the arrangents."
John also knew that Lin Ke had made a decision, so he certainly wouldn't refuse.
Lin Ke nodded and then exchanged a few words with everyone.
John's affairs in governance, Diana's matters in the court, the research institute led by Laplace, and Vilune's encounters in architecture...
At Lin Ke's level, any knowledge he had co across in his previous life could now be fully recalled.
Even for things he hadn't delved into deeply, he could infer by analogy and ponder them in this life.
For example, with laws, although he didn't know many legal articles in his previous life, he could deduce through daily news and his learned knowledge that he could fully understand the constitution, civil law, criminal law, and more.
So, although it was just a brief exchange, John and the others still gained so insights.
After making arrangents and setting the departure ti for the next day, Lin Ke left.
As they watched Lin Ke's departing figure, everyone was left contemplating.
With Lin Ke in Great Wilderness City, it was like having a stabilizing force; no internal strife or external threat could stir trouble.
Anyone could be replaced, whether it was René Descartes, Ove, Li Guan Mobai, or John, they all could be replaced.
But...
Lin Ke could not be replaced!
...
After leaving, Lin Ke returned ho.
Rica was likely busy at the Forest Hut, John was at the city hall, the Loli Tree and Little Lucky were on the Giant Beast Plane, and the house was empty.
Lin Ke sat for a while and eventually went to the villa next door.
At that mont, Garoce and Antova were watching TV and not planning to sleep.
Antova had also been enlightened, but being quite old, although successfully enlightened, she lacked talent and was currently only a level two [Scholar], possibly not even higher than so students.
However, her health was much improved from before.
As for Garoce, he had always been healthy and used to help Lin Ke conquer sub-planes, but recently he seed to be resting and watching TV at ho with his wife.
"Knock knock knock."
Lin Ke knocked on the door, and they sensed Lin Ke's presence, naturally overjoyed.
"Is Little Lin Ke here?!"
"My son is here!"
Antova and Garoce hurried to open the door, both wearing joyful expressions as they welcod Lin Ke inside.
"Has Lin Ke eaten? If not, I'll have soone cook for you. What do you want to eat? Or do you want to drink Gula Milk? Should I add so lucky grass? You used to love drinking Gula Milk when you were young..."
Antova mumbled as she instructed the servants to work, not giving Lin Ke a chance to refuse.
Although the Great Wilderness City had mostly abolished slavery, there were still many professions such as servants and housekeepers.
Garoce and Antova had never done any housework themselves since they were born, so it was natural for them to hire servants.
"Aunt..." Lin Ke initially wanted to say he no longer needed the milk, having drunk it for nourishnt in his youth, but now he didn't need it.
However, in the end, he didn't refuse.
Garoce sat back on the sofa, smiling foolishly, stroking his two small mustaches on his upper lip, and looking at Lin Ke with satisfaction.
Antova pulled Lin Ke over to sit down, closely observing him, with a slight daze in her eyes: "Little Lin Ke has grown so big, your eyes really look like your mother's..."
But Antova quickly realized her mistake and hurriedly pinched Lin Ke's cheek: "Grown up and not cute, still better when you were little, with chubby cheeks so nice to pinch!"
However, Garoce, who had been smiling foolishly, couldn't help but fall into silence, and Lin Ke sighed slightly without speaking.
"Sigh, Little Lin Ke, don't worry. Rember? Fulon will be amazing later!" Antova patted Lin Ke's head.
There were only a few people in the world who could pat Lin Ke's head and call him Little Lin Ke.
"Yes, Lin Ke, you're my son, so you should do great things." Garoce also spoke at this ti: "Whether it's for your mother or Little Nuomi, we'll all..."
Halfway through, Garoce suddenly stopped, and the scene fell into silence again.
"Did you know?" Lin Ke finally sighed once more.
He had planned to keep it from Garoce and the others, but they had still guessed it.
Little Nuomi had been away from ho for more than a year and logically should have returned.
Given how well Garoce and the others knew Lin Ke, they should have been able to guess that sothing had happened to Little Nuomi.
Antova could no longer hold back, and while crying, she said, "It's all my fault... It's all my fault for letting Little Nuomi go out to gain experience..."
As Little Nuomi's biological mother, Antova was naturally the most distressed.
After comforting her for a while, Antova finally stopped crying.
The three fell into silence once again.
After a long pause, Garoce sighed, patted Lin Ke's shoulder, and looked into his eyes: "We're very anxious, but we know we can't affect you... Lin Ke, you've been independent since childhood, and all these years, I owe you. If you can save, save. If you can't save..."
At this point, Garoce beca speechless.
What if they can't be saved?
They would just have to accept it!
"Little Nuomi and the others are just trapped in Horus. Once we start the war, I can ask the [Astrologer] to find their traces and then rescue mom and Little Nuomi." Lin Ke said in a solemn voice.
Currently, the two regions slightly border each other, but the laws and rules between them haven't been integrated. Even the [Astrologer] Derbius can't find them.
But then again, even if they were found, there was no way to bring them back.
The higher the level, the more obvious it is in a foreign domain.
It's like light in the dark, a firefly's light is weak, but a torch's light is bright. If it's the stars and the moon, they're quite dazzling. Soone like the Insomnia Emperor would be like the sun illuminating the All Heavens Star Realm.
Lin Ke might not be the sun, but given his understanding of laws and his rule embodint, he would probably be quite conspicuous after entering Horus.
This is the sense of existence.
So the only way is to wait for the two Main Planes to rge. Once they're intertwined, fire and stars won't be particularly noticeable.
After listening to Lin Ke, Garoce just patted Lin Ke's shoulder again: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You've already been amazing all these years... Or rather, in the entire history of Azanen, you're the most outstanding, you're our pride."
"Yes, Little Lin Ke..." Antova's eyes were still red: "Relax more, Little Nuomi, that mischievous kid, is clever. Even if she went to Horus, there's nothing to fear."
Antova knew this was a lie, as that was another Main Plane; how could one survive solely on cleverness?
She really missed her daughter, yet she didn't want Lin Ke to be under too much pressure.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Lin Ke's mood was heavy.
Finally, Lin Ke left ho and went to the Great Wilderness Tower.
He quietly sat on the Lava Throne, looking at the round table and chairs before him, and at the night outside, without speaking a word.
Until...
A figure appeared.
