No matter which world a noble belongs to, generally speaking, they are the first generation to be powerful.
Most of the descendants will become drunkards, and only a very small number of descendants of nobles will look like real nobles.
Regardless of whether they are a handful or a majority, they all have their own arrogance and prejudice deep in their hearts.
Nobility means a noble family, and the meaning of nobility is not status, but a kind of nobility in thought, conduct, technology, etc.
However, the descendants of most people will lose themselves in the world where their predecessors worked hard and feel that they are born noble.
Just like the son of the Marquis on the Ice in front of Lin Ke.
Indiscriminately, she wanted to duel with Lin Ke just because of Rika's mischievous words.
"Okay! Come on, come on, let's get out of the way!" When Princess Lika heard that the son of the Marquis on the Ice was going to duel, she immediately jumped up with excitement: "Who is that... Butler Bibiru, I want to eat sour fruit cake! More
Have some!”
Butler Billy, who was called "Bibi Rui", bowed and said: "No problem, Your Highness." Then he went to make arrangements...
He is not worried about Lin Ke. There will be no danger in public. There are all named nobles here.
However, Furlong was a little worried and wanted to speak but was comforted and stopped by Antova.
Noble duels, to a large extent, represent part of honor.
Although Lin Ke was helpless in his heart, he knew that he could not refuse in this situation, so he said: "Well, sir, I am a second-level [scholar], may I ask who you are?"
Lin Ke obviously didn't remember the name of the Marquis of Ice's son. There were so many people that he couldn't remember it all.
The son of the Marquis on the Ice was not too angry. It seemed that in his heart, "The Son of the Marquis on the Ice" brought him a better feeling than his name.
"I am Laplace." Laplace looked arrogant: "Level 2... is very good. Did it take one year or two years? I am now a mere Level 3 [Mathematician]."
He said the word "merely" with an arrogant look on his face, which made Lin Ke laugh for a while.
but……
【Mathematician】? Someone who specializes in mathematics?
If you want to say this, I won't be tired.
Lin Ke raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "This is not a common profession. Sir, are you sure you want to duel with me?"
"Of course." Laplace proudly raised his hands: "I am also a first-level [Knight]."
After speaking, he raised his head as if waiting for praise from others.
But the people around him were indifferent.
Laplace felt a little annoyed because he knew that at home, whenever he mentioned his talent, he would be greeted with praises and applause.
What he doesn't know is that people here are either rich or noble.
Whoever didn't have outstanding talent and a distinguished background at the beginning, even if he is not as good as the Marquis on Ice, he is still not far behind.
Naturally, no one came to please him, even though he was the only son of the Marquis on Ice.
"Part-time job? Part-time job so early?" Lin Ke was a little surprised.
Auf told him that it is best to work part-time only after the career has not progressed in the future, so as to seek a way around and make a breakthrough in the main career.
Taking a part-time job so early will easily distract your energy and bloodline power. Without enough bloodline power, how can you quickly upgrade your career?
"Hmph, my talent is 'excellent', but it's just a part-time job." Laplace was proud again, and this time the people around him reacted somewhat.
"Excellent talent, and the bloodline continues well on the ice."
"Yes, it's a pity that he seems to have stopped getting married after his wife died."
"He is holding on to his inner pride, the glory of the nobility, and... love."
"It is worthy of respect, although in my opinion, this kind of blood can be sold at a better price if it is combined with marriage."
"Andrew's Legs, don't confuse your [businessmen's] practices with those of the nobles!"
Earl Greatsword and Akli were chatting with casual expressions.
Laplace felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words "his wife is dead", but it was very useful after hearing it.
The glory of their ice family is of course extremely dazzling!
Look, these nobles have acknowledged their glory!
However, besides them, a female voice also came out...
"Is this person a fool? My father said that most people who work part-time before level 10 are fools. Only those with outstanding bloodlines can avoid affecting each other."
"Which idiot said..." Laplace turned his head angrily and was about to scold him, but when he realized that it was Princess Lika who was speaking, his body froze.
"What did you say?" Princess Lika suddenly jumped up from the chair: "What did you say my father is?"
The expressions of the people around him became playful.
The last person who dared to publicly declare that the King of Black and White, Sleepless Emperor, was a fool, seemed to be the pioneer Andrew who created the professional system.
"Your Highness Princess Lika, I made a mistake." Laplace did not lose his sense of proportion. He apologized rationally and sincerely, and then looked at Lin Ke again: "Come on, let's duel!"
This time, Laplace had a little more anger in his eyes.
It's all Lin Ke's fault!
Damn it, blame me! Lin Ke was speechless when he saw Laplace's expression.
This man is sick!
However, Lin Ke didn't want to have a duel with someone on his birthday, which would affect his mood.
So he rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "I accept the duel, but..."
Laplace snorted coldly: "I don't need any magic above level three, and I only use skills twice."
From Laplace's point of view, he could only use the skill four times at the second level. Lin Ke's mere Viscount's bloodline could only be used three times.
Coupled with the enhancement of his body as a [Knight], he can easily defeat Lin Ke.
Lin Ke was thoughtful when he heard the words. Now he could guess a little bit about the strength of his talent.
He had just broken through to level two, and his professional power was enough for him to use the skills in his skill slot ten times.
Now, it is estimated that he can use it about thirteen times.
Of course, Lin Ke didn't want to use force at first, so he said: "You are a [mathematician] and I am a [scholar], why don't we have a battle of brains?"
"Brain power?" Laplace, who was about to stretch his muscles, was startled and didn't understand.
"That's it, how about we compete with each other's wisdom and cleverness?" Lin Ke smiled calmly.
"Do you think I am not as smart as you?" Laplace's eyes became more angry: "The blood of my Ice Family is not as good as your little Azane family?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Lin Ke didn't think anything of it. After all, it was normal for such aristocratic children to have such concepts when they were born.
But some of the nobles of the Azane family around them looked ugly.
Laplace's words offended the entire Azane family.
But it's not like Laplace doesn't know, he just doesn't care.
Indeed, a small viscount family could inherit a viscount territory from the Marquis on the Ice when Laplace came of age. Of course, he looked down on Azan.
Lin Ke secretly took a look at the faces of the people around him, and then said: "I believe the Marquis on Ice is not lacking in intelligence and wisdom."
After finishing speaking, he remained silent and looked at the sky, as if there was something attractive in the sky.
Seeing Lin Ke's appearance, Marquis Bingshang's eyes widened and fire shot out from his eyes: "Okay, come on, let's compete!" He didn't say more because he found that he couldn't outsell the child in front of him.
Lin Ke then looked away from the sky with a smile on his face: "Okay, let's do this. You ask a question, I answer it, and then I ask a question and you answer it..."
Lin Ke briefly talked about the mutual question-and-answer method, and said with a smile: "If two questions are not answered, it will be considered a failure. At the same time, this math question must be answered by the person who asked the question...it must be a math question, how about it?"
Hearing that it must be a mathematical problem, Laplace had already felt immense humiliation.
How dare this Lin Ke?!
How dare he compare his poor, stupid and rustic brain with his noble and wise brain?!
"No! As long as you can tell me a question that I can't answer, I will lose!"
