At the main gate of the Bouvier family, Barrett, who learned of Li Lin's visit, strode out of the main house.
"Hahaha... Li Lin, Li Lin, why didn't you let your servants inform me before you came to visit?"
Li Lin, who was standing at the door, heard the voice before he saw the person.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Barrett appeared in Li Lin's sight with a smile on his face.
He was accompanied by Lestara and his followers, but there was no sign of Kashina and Sona.
Barrett, dressed in military uniform, walked up to Li Lin and patted him on the shoulder. "Please come in quickly. I have already told the servants to prepare refreshments."
The courtyard of the Bouvier family is not small. After all, they are the right-hand man of the Light Shield royal family and one of the king's most trusted families. The entire mansion is much larger than the Blue Smoke Manor of the Philos family.
Li Lin greeted Barrett and Lestara respectively, then followed them up the white marble steps, passed through the ancient and heavy double doors, and entered the reception room of the main house.
The decoration of the Bouvier Mansion is not as luxurious as that of the Gilaman's house. The overall style is simple and plain.
The walls, made of a combination of white marble and forbidden magic stone, were lightly painted, not appearing too bright or monotonous. Exquisite carpets were laid on the smooth marble floor with distinct patterns, on which was engraved the emblem of the Bouvier family.
There aren't many decorative items in the hall, except for the large painting facing the main door, which looks quite old and valuable. All the candlesticks, tables, chairs, sofas and other furniture are custom-made, but the raw materials used are far inferior to those of the Dawn Castle.
There is no rule in Demacia that nobles cannot spend more on food, clothing, and other expenses than the royal family. The reason why the Bouvier family did this was that Barrett and Lestara donated most of the family's money to improve people's livelihood.
To be honest, Li Lin still admires Barrett and Lestara very much.
When the overall living standard was only that of the Middle Ages, a powerful nobleman would actually prioritize the people rather than the family inheritance.
Based on this alone, Li Lin can conclude that no noble in the entire Rune Land can compare to them.
At Barrett's hospitality, Li Lin sat opposite the loving couple, and tea and snacks were soon served.
After a few simple pleasantries, Li Lin quickly got straight to the point: "Master Barrett, I'm here today to ask for your help."
Barrett actually saw through his thoughts, waved his hand and smiled, and said cheerfully: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely help."
Li Lin hesitated for a moment and glanced at the servants in the room.
Barrett immediately understood, "You all go down first."
Even Lestra nodded to Li Lin, then said something to her husband, walked out of the living room from the corridor on the other side, and closed the door.
"There's no one here with us now." Barrett took a sip of tea from his cup. "What's the important matter?"
"I think Demacia has been infiltrated by Noxian forces."
Upon hearing Li Lin's words, Barrett choked on his tea and almost dropped the cup. "Ahem... just tell me this, but don't say it in front of other people."
"I'm not talking nonsense. I have a basis for my words."
Looking at Li Lin's confident expression, Barrett was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
He paused for a moment, realizing there was something wrong with his tone, so he changed his words and added, "I mean... which aspect of it is being infiltrated?"
Li Lin's face was serious as he uttered the name Barrett was thinking of: "The Demon Hunter Society."
As the words gradually fell, the huge hall fell into silence.
Barrett silently put the teacup back on the table, thought for a while, and then turned his gaze to Li Lin again with caution in his eyes.
"Captain Eldred does have a deep grudge against magic and may be an obstacle to the reform of the Forbidden Magic Code, but you cannot accuse him of colluding with Noxus simply because His Royal Highness has spoken negatively of him."
He stared at Li Lin seriously. "What's more, he's half a member of the Mianwei family. Without solid evidence, we must not let anyone else hear this except the two of us."
Although Barrett's tone was serious, the warnings he gave were all for Li Lin's own good, which warmed his heart.
"Of course, I'm not making this up, nor am I referring to Captain Eldred. I'm simply referring to some members of the Demon Hunter Society."
Li Lin deliberately ignored Eldred's involvement in the matter. His clothes changed rapidly, and a ball of nano-matter emerged, transforming into a suspended projector, which displayed the footage of Qin being filmed.
"You see, after we sealed the dread demon Fiddlesticks, we returned to Hengfeng Village. The spirit of Ander and Natalie's daughter, Jean, lingered in the village."
Li Lin quickly described what happened when he met Qin, and then the scene in front of him changed, and soon showed what was happening in their yard.
When Barrett noticed the spirits of a sheep and a wolf appearing on the roof, he gasped and asked in fear, "Is that the legendary... Kindred, the Eternal Hunters?"
Li Lin nodded in response, "Yes, but don't worry, Kindred only takes the souls of those whose lifespans have ended. Normal people will be fine even if they see them."
Barrett's mouth twitched, and he looked back at him deeply, not knowing what to say.
Not only was the Twilight Astral Zuo Yin willing to follow him, he even fell in love with him. Even the Winged Protector of Demacia was willing to return to Demacia after listening to his persuasion.
