Chapter 276 Temptation and Kinship

Come to the palace prepared for him by the old emperor.

As soon as he entered the door, Lu He was slightly stunned, stopped and stood there, frowning and looking at the scene in the hall.

The hall was brightly lit with candles.

There were more than a dozen women standing in the middle, with a wide age range, some in their teens and some in their twenties.

But they had one thing in common, that is, they were beautiful.

And the life force field on their bodies was much stronger than that of ordinary people. They were all knight attendants who embarked on the extraordinary road.

These women blushed, wearing tight knight clothes or close-fitting leather armor that showed off their figures, or light gauze skirts.

"Lord Sauron, this is a gift specially prepared for you by His Majesty. Don't worry, they are all pure virgins."

The female official smiled and approached Lu He. The two were very close, and a faint fragrance came out immediately.

"These women are specially trained to take care of your daily life in the capital more conveniently. When you are interested, they can also relax you..."

Lu He was speechless.

To be honest, he was tempted all the way.

From the female captain of the knight-level guards, to the plump female official beside him, to the women in the hall.

It is really difficult for ordinary people to resist this kind of temptation, because these women are not just beautiful on the surface.

"Thank your majesty for me. I won't accept the gift. I am still young and my body is still developing. I can't bear it."

Lu He made a joke and walked out of the palace in the latter's stunned expression.

He found Yerrit and others who were being taken to visit the palace by the female captain Sulaya, got on the carriage and drove down the mountain.

Lu He didn't plan to live here. The temptations everywhere were testing him all the time.

He was going to go back to his home.

The Soros family also has industries in the capital, but they are not in the city and are in a remote location.

The capital is mainly divided into three main urban areas.

The location of the palace is called Yunguang District, where most of the residents are nobles and royal families. Looking down from here, the black palace is undulating, with towering spires and high walls like scales.

The Soros family's manor is located in the White Light District, which is mainly for trade and civilians, at the foot of the mountain.

Because the Soros family's roots are in the Highland City, they have not purchased many properties in the capital.

Led by Suraya, the carriage slowly drove along the cantilevered mountain road towards the bottom of the mountain hidden in the clouds.

After reaching the main road, the carriage speeded up.

On both sides of the white road, small buildings gradually appeared in groups, and black two-story and three-story buildings were everywhere.

Lu He looked out the window sideways.

A two-story building passed by on the opposite side, with the second-floor window open, and a middle-aged woman wearing a white headscarf was fiddling with a pot of purple flowers on the windowsill.

There were noisy and noisy scolding on the street downstairs, and several men were entangled and pushing and shouting at each other.

Beyond the residential area, there was a series of three-story buildings, like a large commercial block with dense houses.

Although it was late, most of the shops were still open, and people came in and out of the door from time to time.

Lu He stared at the street view outside the window, and the agreement reached with the old emperor in the study room emerged in his mind.

The agreement was simple. The old emperor would pay Lu He as much as he helped him.

If Lu He could clearly oppose the reform of the constitutional monarchy at the upcoming Imperial Nobles' Council.

No matter what the final result was, the old emperor would allow him to enter the royal treasury to select three treasures.

And if Lu He could defeat the constitutionalists in the parliament by himself and reverse the current unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, then the old emperor would allow him to select ten treasures.

Obviously, the former was the old emperor's hope.

He was not optimistic about Lu He's strength and did not think that Lu He could compete with the Sword of Order, Hosiman.

The old emperor just hoped that a strong man of the same level would stand up against Hosiman, so that there would be a glimmer of hope.

After all, the influence of the Alex royal family among the nobles was still very large, especially among the traditional nobles.

It was just that in this extraordinary world where strength was supreme and great power belonged to oneself, the influence of the strong was obviously greater.

But if Lu He stood up and clearly opposed the constitutionalists, he might really be able to turn the tide.

Lu He knew the old emperor's plan very well.

So he agreed immediately. Anyway, he had been very unhappy with Huo Ximan for a long time, and he would have to fight with him sooner or later.

As for the number of treasures to be selected.

Lu He didn't care much about this. Anyway, as long as he went in, it would be his decision to choose a few.

The carriage passed through the black block, reached the middle of the mountain, and circled the Yunguang District for half a circle. After passing a checkpoint, the front suddenly opened up and came to a square.

Some activities were being held in the square, and it was very lively.

Without stopping, the carriage drove around the square into a straight road opposite and continued to drive down the mountain.

About half an hour later, finally, a small gray-white manor appeared in front.

In front of the manor was a small river, and an arched stone bridge at the entrance connected to the shore and was built on the grass.

There was a black street lamp on the stone arch bridge. Two figures were standing on the bridge and talking quietly. When they saw the carriage, they immediately stopped talking and walked over to greet it.

"Master, welcome home." One of them bowed respectfully to the carriage.

Lu He nodded through the window.

Mark told him that the person who saluted was Keith, the person in charge of the Soros family's industry in the capital.

The other person was Antoine, the housekeeper of the manor. There were also several maids and guards in the manor.

Because they knew he was coming in advance, the manor was cleaned very clean and could be moved in directly, saving a lot of effort.

…

Late at night.

Lu He walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas. Instead of going to bed, he came to the study.

The warm yellow light was swaying slightly.

The table lamp in the study was covered with a layer of white gauze curtains and placed in a cylindrical shape at the four corners of the study.

In the middle of the brown-yellow wooden floor, a long square wooden table was quietly placed in the middle.

There were two chairs on the side, a rattan chair and a sofa chair, both of which were brown-yellow.

Lu He sat down on the sofa chair, picked up a stack of manuscripts on the table, picked up a pen in one hand, and began to constantly revise, check and analyze the data of the experiment he had just done.

Lu He never thought that he would be able to reach the top of the world after obtaining the Eye of Inheritance.

There is endless knowledge in the Eye of Inheritance.

But that is not his. If you want to make it your own, you still need to learn a little bit and practice a little bit.

He does not think that he is gifted and is the kind of son of destiny favored by fate.

Lu He feels that part of the reason for being able to come to this day step by step is due to the Eye of Inheritance.

But his own efforts are also indispensable.

Just like the university library on Earth, it also contains countless knowledge and points out the way to success, but in the end, how many people learn useful things from it.

Only being single-minded, removing distractions, finding the right direction and moving forward courageously are the key factors for success.

Geniuses often have quick thinking, and many problems and troubles are not problems in their hands.

In this way, they have experienced fewer difficulties and obstacles than ordinary people. Their minds are not strong enough. When they encounter difficulties or temptations, they will naturally slack off and stop moving forward.

This is the reason for the tortoise and the hare race. In real life, rabbits are often pulled into the bushes by female rabbits on the roadside.

If he chooses to stay in the palace tonight.

At this moment, he should be playing small games such as galloping, stacking, and counting beans with a dozen beautiful knights.

It must be very refreshing.

But Lu He rejected the temptation, because he knew what he wanted and what he should do since he was a child.

Otherwise, he would not have walked step by step from a poor mountain valley to a big city.

The study room was quiet late at night, with only the rubbing sound of the pen tip and the draft paper.

Lu He kept checking the experimental data from his own practice in his mind and corrected some of the errors and omissions.

Some unclear or doubtful ambiguities were temporarily marked out, waiting for subsequent experimental verification.

A large amount of knowledge and experimental data were constantly running, improving, and deepening in his mind.

Finally, they were deeply engraved in the depths of his soul.

…………

The next morning.

The golden morning sun sprinkled on the foot of the mountain where the manor was located, and the gray-white walls, arch bridges and rivers became golden red.

Two luxurious and exquisite white carriages crossed the arch bridge and slowly stopped at the gate of the manor that had just been opened.

It was still early, and the outer carriage of the carriage was covered with fine dew. The coachman yawned and jumped down from the driver's seat and opened the door of the carriage.

Several gorgeously dressed men and women got off the car. From the temperament between their eyebrows, it can be seen that they are nobles.

"Grandpa, why are we here so early?" A beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen yawned and complained.

The girl had smooth golden hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were like pure sapphires.

She wore a white shirt on her upper body and tight pale white trousers on her lower body, which tightly wrapped her slender legs, revealing the perfect waist and hip lines, and the whole person was full of youthful vitality.

"Nini, if we don't come earlier, we may have to queue up to see your cousin Sauron."

Fenris pointed to a blue carriage coming in the morning mist across the river and smiled bitterly.

The man who spoke was in his twenties. He was a handsome man with the same golden hair and wore a slim white warrior suit.

"Okay, let's go in." The old man in front of the two spoke, exuding a faint majestic temperament.

The girl stuck out her tongue and walked towards the gate of the manor in the first place, looking very cute.

She came to the gate, and before she could announce her name, she was stopped by two guards.

"Who are you? This is the private manor of the Soros family. Please explain your purpose."

The guard's tone was a bit stiff, and Nini, who was used to being held in the palm of her hand, felt offended.

But before she could get angry, her brother Fenris, who knew her temper and personality well, pulled her behind him.

"Hello, we are from the Hitler family. Please help us announce it." Fenris smiled.

"The Hitler family? I haven't heard of it." The guard thought about it in confusion, and then shook his head.

"Sorry, you should go back. The housekeeper has ordered that the manor will not receive any guests today."

Fenris's face suddenly stiffened. This was the first time he met someone who didn't know the Hitler family in the capital.

And what does it mean to not receive any guests?

Could it be that he expected that many people would visit today, and Soro's cousin didn't want to be disturbed, so he deliberately closed the door.

But didn't he know that doing so would offend many big shots who came to visit the capital on purpose?

Regardless of how others would react, at least he felt offended now.

"That's awesome!" The girl couldn't help but complain.

"The Hirat family?" Another guard at the gate looked at them and asked.

"Are you the family of the master's mother, Madam Glee Thoros?"

"Yes, please help inform her."

Hearing the name Glee, the old man standing behind Fenris looked nostalgic.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform her."

The guard nodded, winked at his companion, turned around and walked quickly towards a villa in the manor.

After a while.

Antoine, the butler who received the news, hurried over and said with an apologetic look on his face: "Lord Blaise, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, please follow me."

"It doesn't matter, we didn't inform you in advance." The old man smiled and spoke in a friendly tone.

Following Antoine, the three entered the manor and walked along the gravel path for a few minutes to the reception hall of the villa.

"Please wait a moment, the master is still sleeping."

Antoine's face was more apologetic.

The head of the family had said that unless Huo Ximan came to the door, he should not be woken up even if the old emperor came.

As an old man of the Soros family, he knew the temperament of the heads of previous generations, not to mention that the head of this generation was still an 18-year-old boy, so he would never dare to call the head of the family.

Even if the one standing in front of him was the head of the family's grandfather.

"It doesn't matter, we came too early." The old man looked normal and did not embarrass Antoine.

He had encountered a similar situation before, when he traveled thousands of miles to visit his youngest daughter, Geli, in Highland City.

He was happy when he went there, but he came back after only one day, because he was angry.

The old man and two children sat down in the hall and waited.

This wait lasted for more than an hour, until the pale golden morning sun shone into the hall through the window.

And Nini had fallen asleep on the sofa.

But she slept very lightly, and was suddenly awakened by the footsteps coming from the spiral staircase next to her.

She opened her eyes and raised her head blankly.

What came into view was an extremely eye-catching boy in purple-black pajamas.

The boy had short black hair and a faint golden flame mark between his eyebrows, which made him look a little weird.

A pair of scarlet eyes were clear and deep, reflecting her face like a mirror.

"Cousin Sauron." Nini called subconsciously.

"Well, hello." The other party smiled and then turned his eyes away from her.

Lu He looked at the excited old man on the sofa and the handsome guy next to him who was staring at him motionlessly.

Fragments of memory from the depths of his mind suddenly emerged.

Bryce Hirat, the biological father of the original owner Sauron's mother, in other words, the grandfather of Lu He's body.

After thinking about it, Lu He smiled.
