This Lord is Very Scientific

"Mother, you should go rest."

Lin Ke comforted Fulon for a moment, then went up to the roof to meet with Ove.

"So that's how it is..." After hearing Lin Ke's account, Ove agreed, considering how mysterious bloodlines can be.

"That great person's power is indeed similar to your father's... your father..." Speaking of Lin Ke's father, Ove sighed, "His power is very weak, but he has a presence so intense that I can't even look at him directly... well, how should I put it, it's his spirit?"

Ove looked into Lin Ke's eyes and smiled, "Your eyes are very much like your father's, bright and lively, but you look delicate like that little girl Fulon..."

Lin Ke rarely heard comments about his appearance, mostly because people usually praised and remembered his inner qualities rather than outward ones.

"My... So, what kind of spirit did Garoce have?" Lin Ke found it hard to utter the word "father."

He had no emotional connection with Garoce; it was widely accepted in his previous life that "the debt of upbringing is greater than the debt of giving birth."

It was always Fulon and Antova who raised him, and he had misunderstood Antova since childhood.

So from a young age, he felt that Garoce hadn't done his duty, placing his only son in danger.

However, as someone who had been through it, he understood Garoce's helplessness.

He owed the Deep Blue Clan 280,000 gold coins and had no choice but to venture into the lower planes to earn a living.

It's like...

If you owe hundreds of thousands in loans, how can you not go out and work?

Give your child a childhood? Give them beautiful memories? A harmonious family?

Then the whole family would starve to death.

So when Lin Ke learned from Antova about Garoce's debts, he had already come to terms with it and understood Garoce better.

"Your father Garoce... Just looking into his eyes fills you with endless courage, it's quite unforgettable."

Ove seemed to recall his encounters with Garoce and couldn't help but pat Lin Ke's head, "When you charged at the legend before, I thought I saw Garoce!"

Lin Ke could feel that there was indeed a story between Ove and Garoce.

"Alright, Little Lin Ke, you should go rest first, your ancestor is guiding themselves here through your bloodline, which consumes a lot of Spiritual Power."

Speaking of Lin Ke's "ancestor," Ove sighed, "With your ancestor here, our Azanen is much safer."

When Ove mentioned Azanen using "our," it seemed like he'd picked it up from Lolita.

Yet it made Lin Ke feel warm inside, albeit a little guilty.

After all, Ove already knew about these things, but because they were important secrets, Ove had sealed those memories.

It was the only way to ensure security.

"I'll take my leave, teacher..."

Lin Ke took his leave and prepared to go back and rest.

But as he reached the door, he saw a sneaky figure.

The figure was hiding on his balcony, with an unfamiliar presence of a professional.

A mere level-one professional, daring to steal... Lin Ke sneered internally and began considering whether Azanen had been neglecting security management due to overemphasis on warfare.

Lin Ke set up an air pressure shield, grasped an emerging air pressure blade, and slowly approached.

The figure curled up in a corner of the balcony, seemingly aware of Lin Ke's approach, slightly revealing its head.

In an instant, Lin Ke leaped forward, holding the air pressure blade in both hands, stabbing down from above while pressing the figure with the air pressure shield.

The figure let out a high-pitched scream, "Oh no! By the gold coins, what are you doing, Lord Lin Ke!"

Oh, shit!

Lin Ke hastily created a shield in midair; the air pressure blade and shield collided, canceling each other out.

Landing to the side, Lin Ke looked at the person beside him, both shocked and angry, "Granny Hisai, what are you doing!?"

The figure turned out to be Granny Hisai!

Granny Hisai crouched with her hunched back, her right hand repeatedly patting her chest, clearly startled by the move.

However, after Lin Ke asked his question, Granny Hisai seemed to remember her purpose for coming and hurriedly put a finger to her lips, shushing Lin Ke, "Lord Lin Ke, keep it down! I came here secretly!"

Lin Ke: (ㅍ_ㅍ)

Then why did you scream just now!

To think, Granny Hisai's scream was quite loud earlier—someone who didn't know might have thought something happened to Lin Ke!

"Granny Hisai, why are you here? I remember you don't like coming out."

Lin Ke couldn't help but pull Granny Hisai in to sit and then ask.

Granny Hisai had no strings attached, and she loved chemistry.

Since Lin Ke pointed her in a direction and provided several hundred gold coins' worth of materials each month...

Granny Hisai had expressed she never wanted to leave Ove's realm of Thunder Power—that she wanted to experiment with powders and minerals there until she died.

Why had she come out after just a few months, and talking about secrets?

"No, it's like this, Lord Lin Ke." Granny Hisai stealthily leaned over to Lin Ke's side—despite her hunchback, she was just tall enough to reach Lin Ke's ear, given that he was still a child.

Granny Hisai glanced around the empty room with vigilance before whispering, "Lord Lin Ke, I might be your grandmother!"

What the hell, is there some benefit in claiming this?

Lin Ke was speechless, "What are you talking about, Granny Hisai, I've told you some powders shouldn't be tasted randomly, they'll impair your mind to the point of brain damage!"

Granny Hisai widened her eyes, "How can you talk to your grandmother like that!"

I mean, come on... Lin Ke held his head, feeling both amused and at a loss for words.

Seeing Lin Ke's reaction, Granny Hisai got anxious and quickly said, "Lord Lin Ke, uh... grandson, remember Swain from before? I summoned him!"

Who's grandson are you calling...

Things were getting more and more outrageous.

Lin Ke had no choice but to ask patiently, "How do you know it was you who summoned him?"

When he became Swain, why didn't he feel any summoning from Granny Hisai?

"Easy, because wasn't I exploring that so-called 'chemistry' as my grandson requested? Then today, that so-called 'Soul Space' big rock of mine gained a new gold ore; I went to touch it, and guess what?"

Granny Hisai's face lit up with excitement, her facial wrinkles spreading out like a chrysanthemum in bloom.

Lin Ke gradually pieced it together, remembering that Granny Hisai hadn't taken up a profession before!

Now, Granny Hisai had actually directly become a level-one professional?!

Seeing Lin Ke's surprise, Granny Hisai grew even prouder, "Got it? Because I became a professional, our ancestral Azanen came back just for us!"

Such confidence...

Lin Ke once more recounted to Granny Hisai the real reason for their ancestor "Swain's" arrival, and only then did she reluctantly believe it.

However, Lin Ke was still pleased, because even though Granny Hisai didn't become the [Chemist] he envisioned, she had found a new profession.

And that is...
