Within the official reception area for the Huadeli Hotel, two rank seven Radiant Temple Knights stood on each side of the main hallway, while Linley and the other three entered the formal reception area from the other entrance. Their footsteps on the marble floor were smooth, so smooth that it could serve as a mirror, producing a clear ringing sound.
When Linley, Yale, and the others stepped into the reception area, the seven people already inside the reception area turned to look at them.
“A Cardinal, three Priests, and three Knights of the Radiant Temple. "Linley could immediately tell the status of everyone, and could also instantly sense that these seven people were extremely powerful. Based on what Linley already knew ….
In the Radiant Church, the position of the Cardinals was second only to the Holy Emperor himself. To become a Cardinal, one needed to not only possess sufficient fame, but also possess the power of the Arch Magus of the ninth rank.
"An Arch Magus of the ninth rank?" Linley could not help but carefully scrutinize this Cardinal in front of him.
This cardinal seemed to be a middle-aged man, with a head full of curly silver hair. His nose was tall and sharp, while a slight smile appeared on his lips. He looks quite friendly.
"Hello, Linley. And you, young Yale. "Cardinal smiled as she got up. "Let me make a brief introduction. These three Vatars are my assistants, while these three Radiant Temple Knights belong to the 'Glory' division'. They were respectively Commander Marcus [Ma'ku'si] and his two Deputy Commandos. As for myself ... you can just call me Guillermo [Ji'er'mo]. ”
Cardinal Guillermo.
Linley had previously heard that the Holy Union had a total of eight regiments of ace knights. One of them was the 'Glory' division'. Each of these Eight Ace Regiments was extremely powerful and possessed outstanding offensive abilities.
"Mr Guillermo, Mr. Marcus. All the other rulers were present. Maybe I asked why you came? "Said Linley humbly, while at the same time, Linley began to examine Marcus.
Marcus was a bald man who looked extremely strong. Sitting there, the impression it gave was of a mountain that was silent, unshakable by outside forces. In this delegation of seven people from the Radiant Church, Marcus and Guillermo held the highest rank. Marcus, in his capacity as Commander of one of the Eight Ace Regiments, was most likely no weaker than Guillermo, and his personal status was roughly on the same level as well.
Marcus' lips opened, and his deep, heavy voice rang. “I heard Guillermo say that our Sacred Union has produced incredible genius. The magus of two seventeen-year-old elements of the seventh rank. I wonder what this genius is like. Today, now I have the opportunity to see for myself .. haha. ”
Based on Marcus' experience, at a glance, he could naturally tell that Linley was a warrior as well.
"Son, what rank are you as a soldier?" Marcus asked directly.
Guillermo was just sitting there 'compliantly', seemingly completely unhappy with Marcus' disorder.
Linley simply said, "This year, I have just reached the sixth rank as a soldier. ”
"Oh. "Marcus' eyes sparkle. “A seventeen-year-old soldier of the sixth rank. That was already very impressive. I, Marcus, am rarely amazed at anyone, but I must admit that you are truly a genius. Not only have you become a very talented magus, you are also a great warrior. ”
Linley smiled humbly.
The two Knights sitting on each side of Marcus also looked shocked on their faces.
Guillermo chuckles. “Enough, Marcus. Yes, it was quite impressive that Linley was a warrior of the sixth rank at the age of seventeen, but let's be honest, let's be honest, we can find one or two of them in almost every single warrior academy. His true value still lay in his talent as a magus. ”
The training difficulty for a warrior was somewhat lower than magus to begin with.
For those who train hard and exercise since they are young, and (if they come from a good family) are trained in battle-qi from a young age, becoming a warrior of the sixth rank at the age of seventeen was not very difficult.
"Linley, as a member of our Holy Union who possesses such extraordinary abilities, you make me, a Cardinal of the Radiant Temple, feel very proud. I'd like to ask you, have you considered joining the Holy Union? I think, based on your natural abilities, if you join us, I can guarantee that you will soon receive the rank of Vicar of the Radiant Temple. In the future, being a Cardinal should not be a problem. "Guillermo made his offer directly on the table.
Super genius number two in all of history. There should have been a better than 90% chance that Linley would end up being a Saint-level Grand Magus. The 10% chance only existed because there was a possibility that due to suffering some sort of mental setback, Linley would decide to stop improving.
A potential Saint-level fighter. Even if Linley did not train very hard, becoming an Arch Magus of the ninth rank should be guaranteed. Talent like this should be absorbed.
"Lord Guillermo, to me, this news is a bit too sudden. "A simple shy smile had appeared on Linley's face. “I'm only seventeen this year. I haven't thought much about this. High rank and great power also symbolize the heavy responsibility I am currently afraid of. Can I ... wait a few years? "
Linley.
Guillermo frowned.
The number two genius in the entire history of the Yulan continent, someone who would most likely become a Saint-level warrior in the future. Even if they could not make use of it, they would not let the enemy take advantage of it either.
"Linley, I know that you are young, but you are a member of the Holy Union, and you are a genius. As a genius, you have to get used to and accept the fact that your dazzling intelligence will carry you a burden, rather than try and resist it. "Guillermo reprimanded him well.
“In addition, you can become a Vicar under the authority of my ward. You can guarantee that you will have the freedom to do whatever you want. As long as you do not act against the interests of the Radiant Temple, I will definitely not interfere with your freedom to act. Can you accept this? "
"In addition, you can also join any single kingdom owned by the Holy Union, and we can even guarantee that you will receive the Dukedom. “Guillermo, it must be said, acts with great sincerity.
Linley was silent for a while.
The three Guillermo Vicars assistants started to frown, but Guillermo continued to smile, watching Linley with a hopeful look.
This gaze alone made it extremely difficult to resist.
Next to Linley, Yale, Reynolds, and George were all silent. At a time like this, even Yale did not dare to make a sound. This is the Cardinal of the Radiant Church!
Linley thought incessantly, while Doehring Cowart began advising Linley as soon as they entered this room.
The Four Great Kingdoms and the two great alliances were constantly striving to gain advantage in an extremely cruel and ruthless manner. 'If I can't have it, I can't let my enemies have it either. “This is a fairly common viewing angle.
“Mr Guillermo. "Linley finally spoke.
Guillermo's eyes sparkled. Smiling, he said to Linley, "You've decided?"
Linley nodded. “Mr Guillermo, I grew up in the Kingdom of Fenlai since I was a child, so of course, I am a member of the Sacred Union. I can guarantee that as long as the Holy Union does not turn its back on me, I will definitely not betray the Holy Union either. I will definitely not join any foreign powers, no matter who they are. ”
"What do you want to say?" Guillermo looked at Linley with a question.
Linley continued, "What I want to say is, at the moment, I don't want to make any hasty decisions. Please allow me to discuss this matter with my father, and then I will tell you my choice. What I can guarantee is .. I will definitely not join the Four Great Kingdoms, or the Dark Alliance. ”
Smiling, Guillermo slightly nodded. "really. Such an important decision should be discussed with your father. I'll wait for your reply. ”
As he spoke, Guillermo got up. Three Vicars by his side, as well as Marcus and his two Vice Commanders, also stood up. “Because we have reached an agreement, then I will not bother you any further. The sincerity of the Radiant Temple is true and genuine, and so is our patience. I'm just hoping that you, Linley, won't end up making me wait ten or twenty years for your decision. Haha .. ”When he spoke, Guillermo started laughing.
Linley and the other three stood up as well, watching Guillermo and the others leave.
Only after the delegation from the Radiant Temple left did Linley and the brooch finally calm down.
“Wah I'm scared half to death now. I didn't even dare to breathe hard. "Reynolds took a deep breath.
George nodded as well. “Although the Cardinal was being very friendly towards us, I still felt that my heart could not calm down. ”
Yale started laughing. "of course. After all, he was a Cardinal, one of the most powerful people in the entire Holy Union. Hey, Third Brother, what are you thinking? The Radiant Church was not easy to fend off. After all, we are in the territory of the Holy Union and are under their control. ”
"No hurry, no hurry. "Linley laughs. “When you see the strength of others, you also need to look at your own strength. Although I cannot compare to them, as long as I do not give up on the other five groups, the Radiant Church will not move against me. After all, I did say I would talk about it with my father. As long as I don't directly meet with my father, then I can drag this out longer, right? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Yale. "Yale, I'd like to ask you a favor. ”
“Speak. "Yale looked at Linley.
Linley said in a low voice, "This is a bit embarrassing to say. One of the ancestral heirlooms of the Baruch clan, the weapon of our first clan leader, the 'Slayers', should be in the hands of one of the noble clans of the greater Fenlai Kingdom. I hope you can help me investigate who currently has the 'Slayers' warblade. ”
“Ancestral heirloom? This is absolutely must be found. Third Brother, do you want me to directly get it for you? ”Yale directly said.
Linley laughed. "Boss Yale, if you can help me find him, it will be more than enough. What's more, right now, money is not a problem for me. "Naturally, Linley hated because of others.
……
Two days later . Early morning.
Part of Linley's room was covered with a layer of earth-colored light. This earth-colored light did not cover a very large area, it was only possible for a circle with a circumference of two or three meters. Anyone who stepped into the area would feel an overwhelming force of gravity.
Earth style magic – Supergravity Fields!
After reaching the seventh rank as a magus, Linley's Supergravity Field strength was now much stronger than before. The strength of the local gravitational field within the circle is that gravity is four times normal. Under four times normal gravity, even the blood vessels in one's body would suffer severe damage, to say nothing of the entire body.
Linley did not use earth magic to counteract the strength of this gravitational field. Instead, he used the physical strength of his own body to withstand that terrifying gravity. Right now, his entire body was upside down, and he was holding himself with his fingers, constantly using the strength of his fingers and the strength of his wrist.
“… 725. 726. ”
"drops. Drops. "Grain of sweat kept rolling from Linley's temple, falling to the ground.
The door to the room suddenly opened, and Yale excitedly walked into the room. "Hey, Third Brother, I have news about the search for the 'Slayers' you entrusted me with. “As he spoke, Yale accidentally entered the area of Supergravity Field.
"Yale!" Slapping the floor with his palm, Linley immediately flipped himself upright and immediately pulled Yale out of the Supergravity Field.
"Huff ... puff ..." Yale gasps. Staring at Linley in shock, he said, "Third Bro, you made a Supergravity Field in your bedroom? I got caught by him. That feeling right now is truly terrible. It felt like my heart would stop. ”
Fortunately, the time he spent on the field was very small, because otherwise, Yale's body would naturally suffer negative consequences.
"Right, Boss Yale, didn't you just say something about 'Slayers'?" Linley's attention was completely centered on the mention of his ancestral heirloom. Throughout his father's life, his father's greatest desire was the restoration of ancestral heirlooms that had been passed down five thousand years ago.
Yale nodded slightly. "Oh. I just received word that your clan's warblade, 'Slaughterer', is in the hands of the great clan in Fenlai City itself. The clan was called .... uh .. "Yale could not help but frown, as he momentarily could not remember the name of the clan.
“Hey, Third Brother, Boss Yale, Director Maia came alone again. "Reynolds' voice called out from behind the door.
