After more than ten days of sailing, the ship headed north, and the entrance of the Lancang Canal entered the inland and went upstream.

The Lancang Canal was built two hundred years ago. It runs through the Roland Empire from east to west. It can reach the imperial capital directly by going upstream.

Finally leaving the East China Sea and entering the inland, Chen Daolin's days began to become busy.

Every time this big ship goes, local officials come to receive it.

After all, there were two big figures on the boat. Whether it was Panin, the future star of the Garonin family, or Lucius, the son of the East China Sea Governor, they were all children of a wealthy family.

The officials warmly welcomed the places along the way, and received many gifts. Although Lucius had a verbal disease, he could still deal with the things in these scenes.

However, Panning, who lived in seclusion, was not willing to leave the cabin. Even if local officials sent people to greet him, the middle-aged man in the family around him would be rewarded.

With these delays, the trip slowed down.

Governor Fritz has been an official for many years, so he naturally has his own connections and factional colleagues. When people greet Lucius along the way, they were very polite to the young magician.

Especially when they learned that Chen Daolin was actually Lucius's magic teacher, these people had different attitudes: in the empire, it was always a very respectful thing to be able to recruit magicians. Lucius's respectful and polite attitude towards Chen Daolin also made people not dare to neglect Chen Daolin, a young man.

The section of the Lancang Canal was built by generations of emperors of the Empire. It was finally possible to create this eastern and western artery.

After sailing inland for more than ten days, the scenery on both sides of the river suddenly changed, presenting a vast plain area.

Standing on the boat and looking into the distance, you can see the scattered fields in the distance, the flow of farmland, windmills, and canal irrigation...

Chen Daolin and Hook stood on the deck and looked at the scenery. They saw this vast and rich land from afar. Chen Daolin suddenly saw Hook beside him with a different expression. The man squinted his eyes and looked in the distance. His lips moved slightly, as if he was muttering to himself. Tears vaguely appeared in his eyes.

Chen Daolin was curious: "What's wrong?"

Hook sighed softly, withdrew his gaze from afar, and looked very solemn: "We... have arrived at the Rolling Plain."

Looking at Chen Daolin's confused expression, Hook smiled softly: "Well, the official statement should be Cote Province."

Chen Daolin heard Hook's voice strange and asked, "Is there anything unusual about this place?"

Hook took a deep breath, and a faint reverence appeared in his expression. He whispered in a tone of remembrance: "Sir... the river under our feet is the emerald river, also called the Luolin River. The plain you see now is the Emerald Plain, also called the Luolin Plain. This place is the great legendary Wuxun family of the Empire and the birthplace of the Luolin family."

The Rollin Family?

This name is unfamiliar to Chen Daolin.

"Is this Luolin family very famous?" Chen Daolin said with a smile.

"Of course!" Hu Kezheng pointed: "About three hundred years ago, the empire had experienced a serious crisis. Due to the invasion of foreign races in the northwest and internal rebellion, the empire was on the verge of collapse. At that time, God blessed me, Roland, and a group of heroes emerged, saving the empire's national power. The most outstanding one was a general of the Luolin family!

This General Luolin fought south and north and turned the tide, and eventually made countless military achievements, achieving the status of the military nobles of the Luolin family.

The most commendable thing is the late stage of the war, on the eve of the most important decisive battle. His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, in order to encourage General Luolin who was about to fight, they rode their horses by the river. The emperor pointed at the land on the south bank of the river with a horse whip and made a vow to General Luolin: If you can return to victory this time, I will use the river as the boundary. The plains south of the river will be given to you forever! In the future, the rivers here and this plain will be changed to the name of your family! This is used to demonstrate the extraordinaryness of the Luolin family and its outstanding contribution to the empire!

Later, General Luo Lin really won a great victory and became the marshal of the empire and a generation of famous generals and heroes!

Since then, the river has been renamed the Luolin River, and this plain has been renamed the Luolin Plain. This land and this river have nurtured the Luolin family for three hundred years, and countless outstanding imperial talents and generals have emerged. The glory of the Luolin family has always been above the crown of the empire!”

After hearing this, Chen Daolin nodded and sighed: "That's very powerful... I don't know how the Luolin family is doing now?"

"Now?" Hook said this and smiled softly: "Sir, it seems that you really need to study the general history of my Roland Empire. If this common sense is asked from you, it would be a joke if someone else would have made fun of it."

"Huh? If you say that, is there anything special about the Luolin family?"

Hook looked stern and said slowly: "Sir... the great tulip family comes from Rollin!"

tulip?

Once anything involves tulips, Chen Daolin will be particularly careful.

"The first Duke of Tulip, Du Wei, was a member of the Luolin family before he became famous. He was the eldest son of the patriarch of the Luolin family at that time. In the past, Count Raymond, the patriarch of the Luolin family, was also a famous general of the Empire. He was once the leading general of the Imperial Navy, and later he was the deputy minister of the Imperial Military Affairs. Du Wei was the eldest son of Count Raymond.

Unfortunately, the Luolin family was later involved in a tragic coup in the empire at that time. In order to seize the throne, a serious military coup broke out in the imperial capital. However, the Luolin family unfortunately stood in the wrong team. The prince died in a failed coup at that time, and the Luolin family was implicated and was once deprived of their titles or even fiefdom. The century-old noble family was almost uprooted.

But at that time, Du Wei was an odd number. During the coup, Du Wei broke up with his father, openly separated from his family, and stood on the other side. Later, the coup ended, Du Wei benefited from the coup. Because he strongly supported Prince Chen, who later successfully took office, he was named the Grand Duke of Tulips.

Therefore, although the Luolin family was defeated, Du Wei became the Duke of the Empire.

Afterwards, Duke Tulip repeatedly created miracles, fought against the northwest to pacify warlords, and swept the grassland aliens through Kilimaro Mountain... After a series of merits, he finally obtained a special amnesty from the imperial royal family, pardoned the crime of the coup in the Luolin family, and the fiefdom and title of the Luolin family were restored.

Later, Duke Tulip was at its peak and became the undisputed first wealthy family in the empire. Among the Luolin family, Du Wei's younger brother was Du Wei's younger brother.

Do you think that if you have a brother like Duke Tulip, the new patriarch of the Rollin family, will you still worry about your future?

Later in our war with the orcs, the Luolin family followed the Tulip family closely and made contributions during the war. Then, after Du Wei married the empress of the empire and became the prince of the country, he was in power for decades, and the Luolin family has always stood firmly by the Tulip family.

Therefore, the Luolin family and the Tulip family are essentially the same lineage. In terms of blood, the Tulip family is basically derived from the Luolin family!

Now, although a hundred years have passed since Du Wei's legendary era, the Tulip Family is still the pillar of the empire, and the Luolin Family, both in terms of blood and relationship, is close to the Tulip Family. They were originally brothers.

Now, because Miss Messiah's father, the previous generation of Tulip Duke, lived in seclusion before Miss Messiah, in fact, many of the affairs of the Tulip family were invited to take charge of the contemporary Count of the Rolling family. Miss Messiah also called Count Rolling the uncle, and the two sides were intimate.

Although the previous generation of Tulip Dukes is not in court and Miss Messiah has not held any public office because she is young, the patriarch of the Rollin family is the current Imperial Military Minister and also the Imperial Navy Minister!

Until Miss Messiah truly became an adult and fulfilled her duties as a duke, the Rollings family had always been the most trustworthy support to protect her."

Speaking of this, Hook whispered: "Do you know the full name of Du Wei? His full name is: Du Wei. Rolling. Rudolph!

At the earliest, his name was Du Wei Luolin. It was only after he founded the Tulip Family that he changed his name to give himself a Rudolph's surname. However, in order to commemorate his origin in the Rollin family, he also placed the surname Luolin in the middle of his name to show that he had never forgotten his roots."

After hearing these words, Chen Daolin couldn't help but sigh.

The Luolin family is indeed very amazing. It turns out that the Tulip family comes from the Luolin family... No wonder Huke spoke in such a respectful tone when he mentioned them.

At this moment, there were not many ships coming and going on the wide river. Even if there were occasional small boats, I saw this sea boat coming from afar and saw the flag clearly, and immediately leaned aside and moved away from the middle river.

In the afternoon, the boat was moored at a riverside town pier along the way.

There were a few guards lined up on the dock to greet him, and there were many gorgeously dressed nobles.

"It's the people from the Rollin family who are here." Hook took a look on the boat and immediately recognized it.

"Rolin's family?" Chen Daolin smiled and said, "We are going to live on the shore tonight, right? It seems that it is another social event."

"I'm afraid it's more than one night." Huke smiled: "Sir, I'm going to pick us up to the castle of the Luolin family. But that's not surprising. As Master Lucius, since he passed by the fiefdom of the Luolin family, he would have to go to the old castle of the Luolin family to visit the elders. This etiquette is indispensable, especially..."

"What especially?" Chen Daolin said with a smile.

"Huh? Sir, you don't know about this?" Hook said curiously: "That's true. You have been buried in magic research all day long. No one has ever told you when you were in the Governor's Mansion in Hirok City."

He looked at the welcoming teams standing on the dock on the shore and laughed in a low voice: "Sir, have you forgotten that one of the important things that Mr. Lucius went to the imperial capital this time was to fulfill a marriage contract! The person who made a marriage contract with Governor Fritz was the current patriarch of the Rolling family, Count Berryon Rolling. According to the agreement, the fiancée that Mr. Lucius wanted to marry this time was the granddaughter of the Rolling family Count Berryon Rolling."

Is there such a thing?

Chen Daolin widened his eyes.

"Now, Count Berryon is in charge of the military headquarters in the imperial capital, so he is naturally not in the old house plain of the fiefdom. However, I heard that the countess is recuperating in his hometown, so since Master Lucius came to the door, it is natural that he would not be able to pass by without worshiping him. It is natural for him to come to see his future wife's grandmother. As for you, you must have to leave this time. And... I heard that the lady from the Luolin family is also in the old house. This time, we might have to pick up the lady and go to the imperial capital to get married together."

Sure enough, before Hook finished speaking, Chen Daolin saw Lucius wearing a new one and walked out of the cabin.

The son of the governor wore a gorgeous new dress, his hair was meticulously combed, and his leather boots were polished shiny, looking very fresh. He was surrounded by the captain of the Fritz family's guards and the in charge of the family.

He came over and smiled shyly at Chen Daolin and saluted. Chen Daolin knew that he was inconvenient to speak, so he took the initiative to say, "Okay, go see your future wife? Don't waste time with me anymore. Be cheer up and go quickly."

Seeing Lucius and his men off the boat to greet and socialize with the people sent by the Rollin family, Chen Daolin didn't want to join in the fun and rested on the boat for a while.

A moment later, someone from the Luolin family boarded a ship to meet Chen Daolin and invited the magician to go to the Luolin family's ancestral home together.

What surprised Chen Daolin was that the invitation from the visitor actually included Panning.

However, Chen Daolin felt relieved after thinking about it: the Garonin family where Panin is in charge of the imperial city guards. The patriarch of the Luolin family is the Imperial Military Minister. It is also an ordinary etiquette to invite Panin to visit his home.

With Panning, to be honest, Chen Daolin didn't want to go. Even if he went there, he would just attend a banquet, eat and drink, etc. Chen Daolin would rather stay on the boat and be free. If he was really bored, he could take Barossa to the town on the shore and wander around...

But he was about to make up a reason to decline, but before he could say it, a little bit appeared on his face. The manager sent by the Luolin family was a cunning man. When he saw Chen Daolin's face was strange, he immediately added: "Your Mage, our wife heard that you are the magic teacher of Master Lucius. She highly praised you and asked me to invite you to visit. She also told me not to neglect you. If you don't go, I'm afraid I..."

Chen Daolin looked at the manager who had gray hair in front of him, and couldn't bear to make the old man embarrassed, so he sighed: "Okay, I'll go...but, I won't be in the same car as Panning."

The old manager smiled slightly: "You can rest assured that my Luolin family will not have less frames."

Chen Daolin smiled slightly, then called out Barossa, Xia Xia, and werewolf Chuck, who were also with him. Only Hook, but for some reason, refused to go to the Rollin Castle together.

Chen Daolin had no choice but to go with him.

However, the Daglish came over and volunteered to serve as Chen Daolin's servant. As for this guy, Chen Daolin had always been by his side, so Chen Daolin was fine, so he let him follow him.

This guy is from a scholar from the imperial capital. I think he is familiar with social engagements between these nobles and wealthy families. It is useful to keep it with him.

After getting on the carriage, Daglish took the initiative to whisper to Chen Daolin: "Sir, haven't you noticed it? Mr. Hook's expression is a bit strange."

"Oh?" Chen Daolin's heart moved. He remembered that Hook refused to walk with him no matter what, and he couldn't help but look at Daglish: "What do you know?"

"This..." Daglish laughed in a low voice: "I don't know anything, but I accidentally saw Mr. Hook standing at the bow of the boat last night, looking at the direction of the Rolling Plain, drinking alone, and seemingly shed a few tears."

Is there such a thing?

Chen Daolin suddenly remembered what Hook said. He left the Tulip Family for a private reason he refused to say... Could it be that he had something to do with the Luolin Family?`
