Chapter 118 Changes
An hour later, Luo Chen met Count Salek in the Grand Duke's Mansion.
"Tell you good news, all the barbarians who attacked you and Ricardo were caught." As soon as they met, Sarak smiled at Luo Chen.
"So quickly?" Luo Chen was a little surprised. "Have they found out their identities? Why did they suddenly attack Cousin Ricardo?"
"It's a pity that those barbarians were about to be caught, so they all committed suicide early." Salek shook his head.
"Then we should be able to find some clues from their bodies, right?"
"There are clues. Judging from the tattoos and some ornaments on their bodies, these people should belong to a barbarian tribe that is attached to the Les tribe."
"Is it the Luce tribe?" Luo Chen frowned and shook his head immediately. "This is not right. What reason does the Luce tribe have to attack Cousin Ricardo and me, which is not good for them at all. And if it were a group of dead soldiers, then there should not be such an obvious mark on them. Uncle Salek, this may be someone else's blame on the Luce tribe."
A hint of admiration flashed through Salek's eyes and nodded, "You are right. It is precisely because the clues are too obvious that we cannot doubt the head of the Lus Tribe. Chen'er, why not guess who is the most likely sending these barbarians?"
Luo Chen lowered his head and thought for a while, and countless data in his mind passed by, and he instantly analyzed it.
"If I were asked to say something, I think the most likely person to do such a thing should be the Manniu Tribe."
"Oh?" Salek's eyes burst out with shiny light, and he looked at Luo Chen with great interest: "Why did you come to this conclusion?"
"It's very simple. Because the Manniu tribe is about to go to war with our Oran Empire. If we successfully attack the Les tribe, the relationship between the Les tribe and the Oran Empire can be deteriorated. In this way, even if the Les tribe may not help the Manniu tribe invade, at least the Manniu tribe does not have to worry about the Les tribe attacking them behind their backs. It can also make the Les tribe restrain the Northwest Province, making it difficult for the Northwest Province to distribute troops to support the Northern Province."
Salek laughed and exclaimed loudly: "Chen'er, you are indeed a military genius. It's so rare that you can look at problems from such a big strategic level at such a young age."
Luo Chen had no happy expression on his face. He stared at Salek and asked seriously: "Uncle Salek, Ricardo told me that something big happened just now, but he didn't tell me clearly what it was. Now after hearing what you said, is this big thing the Manniu Tribe has invaded the northern provinces? How about my father and the others?"
"No, no, no, don't worry, there has not been a real invasion yet." Salek waved his hand, but sighed. "But according to the spies we placed in the Manniu Tribe, the Manniu Tribe and other barbarian tribes attached to the Manniu Tribe have made preparations before the war and may launch an invasion at any time."
Luo Chen's heart sank: "Do my father know?"
Salek glanced at Luo Chen and smiled slightly: "If you care, you will be confused. Don't worry, your father is called the God of Oran, how could he not even see this? I'm sure your father has already begun to fight against the invasion of the Manniu Tribe. But is the situation in the northern province..."
Salek just frowned slightly, but it made Luo Chen's heart tighten.
Although he just traveled through time and was not a real father and son with Luo Lingtian, while inheriting the memories of Luo Chen before, he also inherited the feelings of Luo Chen and still had a deep relationship with Luo Lingtian.
Perhaps seeing the worry on Luo Chen's face, Salek chuckled and said, "Don't worry, your father's title is not a false reputation. Even if the Manniu tribe invades in full, I believe that he will not gain much advantage in his hands. In addition, I have contacted your father. This is the letter sent by your father through the Furry Falcon last night. It mentions you, you can take a look."
Luo Chen took a letter handed over by Salek, turned it on and found that it was indeed Luo Lingtian's handwriting.
Of course, this kind of letter will not be like the usual family letters. In the letter, Luo Lingtian just agreed to Salek's proposal to let Luo Chen go to the Les tribe, and put forward some suggestions, and then expressed his concern for Luo Chen here.
The whole letter is clean and neat, and it is absolutely not dragging on the slightest way. It is completely Luo Lingtian's style.
After scanning the scene, Luo Chen raised his head and looked at Salek, and said firmly: "Uncle Salek, arrange for me to go to the Les Tribe as soon as possible. If you stabilize the Les Tribe earlier, you can make my father more relaxed in the Manniu Tribe."
"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Salek praised loudly. "But you still can't be anxious about this. This is not an ordinary person who goes to the Lus Tribe to travel, but let you go on a mission on behalf of your father and me. There are many things that need to be prepared in advance. I told you before that it would take half a month to prepare, but now the situation is urgent. I will try to shorten the preparation time and try to let you go in one week. During this week, you should also hurry up to learn relevant knowledge and receive training. In addition, you should still be injured now, so try not to go out during this period, and take a good rest in the mansion, and try to adjust your physical and mental state to the best state when you set off."
Speaking of this, Salek sighed slightly, a hint of shame flashing across his face: "Chen'er, if you ask you to do these things, you won't blame your uncle, right?"
Luo Chen smiled slightly: "How could it be, uncle, you are too worried."

After leaving Salek's study, Luo Chen went straight back to the small courtyard where the three of them lived.
What made him happy was that Lucy recovered a little more than yesterday and was even able to exercise. But what surprised him was that Luo Tianyi disappeared again!
"Lucy, did Tianyi not tell you where he went?"
Lucy shook her head.
Luo Chen caught two maids and asked, and they shook their heads and said they didn't know.
"Is this guy really interested in a handsome guy?" Luo Chen scratched his head, thinking that he must ask carefully after Luo Tianyi comes back.
Because I spent the night in that small cave last night, and I was seriously injured when I was blocking the barbarians, Luo Chen quickly felt extremely tired, so he took a shower in a hurry, fell head-on on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up, he found that it was already afternoon.
As soon as they got up, the two maids brought a bunch of books and materials.
"Young Master Chen, it's just what the master sent to you. You were sleeping just now and didn't bother you." A maid said with a crisp voice.
Luo Chen opened a book and read it. Sure enough, there was another pile of information related to the northern barbarian tribes.
Compared to the information sent last time, this time it is more detailed and in-depth.
Luo Chen turned two pages and simply asked the maid to bring him lunch, then lay on the bed and started reading while eating.
The information sent this time was twice as much as the last time. With Luo Chen's reading speed, after reading for two hours, he only read one-tenth of it.
Just as he was concentrating, there was a sudden noise outside the room and several people suddenly walked in.
Luo Chen looked up in shock and found that the leader was Ricardo, but the people behind him were Xiao Nan, Xiao Ru and Carnas.
Seeing Luo Chen's gaze swept over, Xiao Nan actually smiled at Luo Chen. Although it was ugly, it didn't seem to be very reluctant. At least it was much better than Carnas's smile that was obviously squeezed out.
As for Xiao Ru's eyes being swept away by Luo Chen, her face immediately turned red and her head lowered deeply.
"Hey, my dear cousin Chen, are you resting now?" The smile on Ricardo's face was extremely bright and his attitude was extremely enthusiastic. It was completely different from seeing Luo Chen on the first day.
Luo Chen smiled and put down the book, looked at a few people and asked: Is there anything wrong with coming to see me at this time?"
Ricardo curled his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You said this, can't you come to you if you have nothing to do? But you are really right. This time I have something to come to you. Cousin Chen, I will hold a banquet to entertain you at the Chanel Restaurant tonight. You call Cousin Tianyi and your apprentice... Yes, call Lucy's little girl together."
Luo Chen looked at him in surprise: "Why are you going to hold a banquet again suddenly?"
Ricardo laughed and took Luo Chen's shoulder without hesitation and patted hard: "Of course this is thanking your life-saving grace. If you hadn't tried your best to stop those barbarians, I would have died if I was caught up." After that, Ricardo threw a look at Xiao Nan and others.
Xiao Nan understood, coughed lightly, and said to Luo Chen: "Ricardo is right, I want to thank you for saving Xiao Ru, too." Xiao Nan paused, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Luo Chen, it was my fault when I was in Fenglin Town before. I would like to express my sincere apology to you here."
Luo Chen looked at Xiao Nan in surprise. Will this arrogant and domineering guy actually lower his head and apologize to him?
Looking at Xiao Ru who was standing next to Xiao Nan with a red face and lowered her head, but kept peeking at her, Luo Chen understood.
"It seems to be for this sister."
Luo Tianyi's figure flashed through Luo Chen's mind, and suddenly he felt that he was afraid that he had some common language with Xiao Nan.
"Young Master Xiao, you have to be polite. The past is over. Let's just get to know each other again." Seeing Xiao Ru with a red face and looking forward to Luo Chen's mind flashed through his mind last night, and nodded to Xiao Nan, as he responded to his apology.
Hearing Luo Chen's answer, Xiao Nan immediately felt relieved.
"Brother Luo Chen, then we will not return until we get drunk in Chanel Restaurant tonight?"
Luo Chen smiled bitterly and raised the book in his hand, shook his head: "Cousin Ricardo, Mr. Xiao, it's not that I don't give you face, but it's because Uncle Salek gave the order to stay in the mansion for the past few days and also assigned me a lot of homework to do. Look, it's this kind of books."
Ricardo and others followed Luo Chen's hand and saw a pile of information that was almost a tall person. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I don't know how to read all these, do you?"
Luo Chen nodded with a bitter smile.
"Uncle is really... This is enough to give you a rest?" Ricardo stood up for Luo Chen. "But it won't delay anything even if you have a meal?"
Luo Chen glanced at him and shook his head gently: "Cousin Ricardo, you should know why Uncle Salek assigned me these homework?"
Ricardo was suffocated. Although Salek never told him these things, it was of course very simple if he wanted to know.
Seeing Ricardo's expression, Luo Chen knew that he understood what he meant, so he smiled and said, "So let it go these days. I really don't have time. In addition, my injury has not healed yet, so I'm afraid I can't have fun drinking. When I come back for a while, I will definitely ask you to have a good meal."
Seeing Luo Chen's determination, Ricardo and others had no choice but to give up helplessly.
After chatting with Luo Chen for a while, Ricardo and others said goodbye to Luo Chen, but Xiao Ru stayed.
Looking at Xiao Ru, who was drooping her head, blushing her face, and constantly tamping her fingers, Luo Chen felt a little embarrassed and a little funny. It took him a while to calm down and asked her, "Is there anything else?"
Xiao Ru stopped and took a few breaths of force before she could barely raise her head, but when she saw the smile on Luo Chen's face, she immediately turned her face away like a frightened rabbit.
After a while, she asked softly: "Brother Luo...Brother Luo, do you... teach me martial arts?"
