The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episodes 109

Inside Bernard's private reading room, the leader of the Debs clan.

"What's? You failing? ”Bernard stared at the red-robed woman. “Even if you fail, why can't you continue to make further efforts? Since when did the Bloodrose organization give up so easily? "

Bernard was very dissatisfied.

When he went to ask Sabre's organization for help, he was rejected. He manages to enlist Bloodrose's services, but Bloodrose is only willing to agree to destroy the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream'. As for killing Linley, the price they demanded was too high, as high as the price for the murder of a Cardinal! At such a high price, the Debs clan could not afford to pay.

Per Bloodrose's words, killing Linley would cause them to simultaneously offend the Radiant Church as well as the Dawson Conglomerate.

Moreover…

Currently, Linley was the main sculptor. A master sculptor had a high social status, and many people with honorable rank and sculptor masters. Killing Linley meant killing a master sculptor, which would result in a degree of hatred towards Bloodrose among the sculpture fans.

This was why the fee they demanded to kill Linley was actually equivalent to the cost of killing a Cardinal.

“We are no longer willing to accept this task. We are willing to return any compensation you provide to us. Said the woman in red robes, her face cold.

"Can you tell me why?" Bernard doesn't know what's going on.

Destruction of the statue should not be too difficult. How could they give up after failing at just one time?

"If we tell you the reason, then we will no longer refund the fee you gave us. Do you agree? "The red-robed woman said calmly.

Assassination organizations are also a type of information broker. They are willing to sell information as well.

"conducted. "As the leader of the Debs clan, Bernard could be generous.

The red-robed lady said gently, “I can tell you this. Among the admirers of the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', there was someone who definitely did not want to be offended by our organization. And this person is also not someone who can make your Debs clan offended. ”

"Good . My report is done. '' With a smile, the red-robed woman immediately departed.

Bernard was furious.

This red-robed lady was not even willing to reveal the identity of this person that Bloodrose did not want to offend. But Bernard understood one thing: A person capable of causing fear towards Bloodrose is definitely an extraordinary person. Reports about such a person must also be very expensive.

……

Year 9999 of the Yulan calendar, April 21. Inside the special auction room in the Proulx Gallery.

This auction hall was divided into three levels. The first level had ordinary seats, while the second level had a stand-alone booth that only the great nobles and the very rich people were qualified to enter. The price to enter those booths was extremely high. As for the third level, it was only a hall, very large, also decorated very luxuriously.

At this moment, hundreds of seats in the first level began to fill up, even though the price of each seat here was a hundred gold coins. As for the ten or so private booths in the second level, based on the location of the seats, the price varied from one thousand to ten thousand gold coins.

But the third level? It is not open to the public at all.

The fame of this statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', is very echoed now. Many people who were currently in the auction hall were some of the wealthiest and strongest noble families in the Yulan continent. But it was precisely because there were only a few chairs while there were so many nobles present, these standard chairs, which were each worth a hundred gold coins, were all worth, sold by outside scalpers for ridiculous amounts of money.

The Debs clan, as a local clan, has a special relationship with the Proulx Gallery, and can obtain a seat in the private booth with the poorest position.

In fact, aside from the Debs clan, all the others present in the second level booth belonged to very famous and wealthy clans throughout the Yulan continent. They were much more powerful than the Debs, for example ..Dawson clan of the Dawson Conglomerate. They are only at the second level. But of course, the representatives of the Dawson clan here were not members in direct lineage and succession.

"Alice, walk inside. ”

This time, six people came from the Debs clan. Alice walked between Kalan and Kalan's mother, and even wore a hat pressed on her head. Very quickly, the six of them reached the second level.

Within this second level was the largest clan in the Yulan continent.

Upon seeing who was in the second-floor hallway, Bernard, the leader of the Debs clan, immediately began to politely greet everyone present. Here, the Debs clan meant absolutely nothing. It was like the evaluation Yale had once given them personally; they were 'minor clans'.

In the eyes of these clans whose influence spread throughout the Yulan continent, if the clan's sphere of influence was limited to a single kingdom, then the clan was nothing more than a small clan.

Six people from the Debs clan entered their booth.

"There will come a day when my Debs clan will be like those clans. No; we will become stronger. "Kalan said to himself.

For the Debs clan, during this journey, failure was not an option.

No matter what, it was better to have this statue located inside their own house, rather than an outsider's house. In any case, in June, Kalan will hold his engagement ceremony with Alice, and at that time, many people will know that Alice is a member of the Debs clan. But even though 'failure is not an option', in fact, their financial ability to succeed is also a big deal.

“Kakak Kalan's. "Alice sat next to Kalan.

In a place like this, surrounded by an extremely powerful clan, Alice also felt somewhat constrained and depressed. After all, in this place, even the Debs clan only counted a little, let alone small nobles like Alice and her clan.

"Don't worry. Inside this booth, the people below will not be able to see you at all. That Linley had really gone too far. He actually ... ”Every time Kalan thinks of the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', he will explode with anger. Anyone with an understanding of the statue would be able to guess that Linley and Alice had a shared romantic history.

After all, if they did not share a period of true love, how could Linley have produced such a godly work of art?

If Kalan were to really marry Alice, there would most likely be many people secretly speculating about what kind of relationship Alice and Linley would be. For someone of Kalan's social status, how could he bear such shame?

……

The third level of the auction hall.

"Haha, Director Maia, which one is Linley?" Laughter and laughter exploded.

Leaning on his staff, Director Maia went to greet the man, while Linley and Yale both immediately went to greet him as well. "Your Majesty!"

The one who came was the king of the Kingdom of Fenlai. He was the pride of the kingdom; the Golden Lion, King of Clayde. Being the king of Fenlai as well as a great warrior of the ninth rank was indeed something to be admired.

Linley carefully examined this Clayde.

This king was built extremely muscularly, and his long, golden head surrounded him wildly, emitting the aura of a lion with immense explosive power. His entire being naturally exuded a domineering aura that made the quail's heart terrified.

Clayde looked at Linley. "If my guess is correct, this one must be Master Linley. ”

"Your Majesty, please, call me Linley. "Linley immediately said.

As a matter of fact, Linley felt extremely helpless. Ever since the statue of 'Awakening From the Dream' had been put on display, many people, upon seeing Linley, would humbly address him as 'Mr Linley'. This is not a pretended courtesy. Even Marquis Jebs of the Lucas clan, who was completely unwilling to part with the 'Slaughterer' warblade, was still filled with full admiration for Linley.

"Pretty good . "Clayde is very blunt. “And this must be Yale, right? Yale, how's your father doing? ”

“My father is fine. Unfortunately, he was currently not in the Sacred Union, as if he was, he would definitely come alone. "Say Yale was polite.

Clayde slightly nodded.

"Director Maia, who else is coming today?" Clayde exclaimed casually.

Director Maia smiled. “Let's wait a minute. I hope that Cardinal Lampson [Lan'pu'sen] and Cardinal Guillermo will arrive as well. ”

In general, the third level is only used to welcome guests held respectfully by the Proulx Gallery.

The third floor window is made with a special type of glass. The people outside could not see inside, but those inside could see clearly outside. This type of glass was specially designed and produced by alchemists, and it was very expensive. Most places could not afford such materials.

"Mr Guillermo and Lampson have arrived. "Director Maia's position allowed her to see the passageway outside.

Linley, Yale, and even King Clayde all went to greet these two men with great warmth and enthusiasm. In a group, they went to greet these two Cardinals of the Radiant Church. Cardinal Guillermo and Linley had met once before, while Cardinal Lampson was rather fat. When he laughed, his eyes turned into a thin slit. She looks so adorable.

"Linley's. Doesn't it? "Lampson immediately gave Linley a big, warm hug.

"Mr Lampson. "Said Linley respectfully.

And then, the seven people on the third floor, being Cardinal Lampson, Cardinals Guillermo, Maia, Yale, Austoni, King Clayde, and Linley all sat together, peering out of the window at the spectacle below.

From their point of view, they could even look into what was happening in the booth on the second floor.

“Third Brother, see. "Yale nudged Linley's arm lightly and nodded below.

Following Yale's gaze, Linley looked up as well. Suddenly, he discovers that inside one of the second level booths, Kalan and Alice are both present. Currently, Alice and Kalan were holding hands while sitting together on the sofa, engaging in conversation.

"I didn't think he was coming. "Yale said softly to Linley.

Linley just smiled calmly.

"Linley, what are you talking about?" The fat Cardinal Lampson laughed at Linley.

"Nothing . "Linley shook her head.

Guillermo patted Clayde on the shoulder. "Clayde, I must say, the management of your Fenlaimu Kingdom is extraordinary. You actually managed to produce an incredible talent like Linley. Before this, I really had no idea that this genius magus, Linley, had also reached an incredible level of achievement in the art of carving stones. ”

Yale, Linley, Clayde, Guillermo, Lampson, and Director Maia continued to engage in idle conversations while watching the activities below.

All the seats on the first floor of the auction hall were now filled.

On the main platform, a statue of 'Awakening From the Dream' was placed, covered with a piece of cloth. On the platform, a beautiful servant girl stood on either side of the statue, while a golden-haired man walked onto the platform with a smile. Looking around himself, he said in a bright voice, "Girls, I would like to welcome you all at this auction to Master Linley's statue, 'Awakening From the Dream'. ”

This middle-aged man behaved very casually. Slowly, he said, “Every guest who comes today has a great reputation. In particular, our Gallery is fortunate enough to be able to invite Mr. Cardinal Guillermo to attend as well. "This middle-aged man slightly bowed to the third level.

Instantly, everyone below rose to their feet, filling the auction hall with the sound of their applause.

“We also have Lord Cardinal Lampson present. ”Other festive applause.

"Your Majesty, the ruler of our Fenlai Kingdom, has arrived as well. ”

"In addition, the genius magius and genius sculptor, Master Linley, were present today. ”

These auctions uttered one name after another, and every time he did, there was a storm of applause. To these nobles, a Cardinal of the Radiant Church, the ruler of the Kingdom, and a genius of a level that the Yulan continent rarely saw in its entire history, were all worthy of admiration.

"Mr Linley?"

Inside her cubicle, Alice stared out the window to the third floor, but unfortunately, all she could see was black glass.

But at the third level.

Linley could clearly see Alice's face.
