The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 114

In the Yulan continent, only an Imperial Emperor had the authority to grant his brothers the title of 'Prince'.

The status of an Imperial 'Prince' was roughly equivalent to that of a 'King' in one of the kingdoms. At most, a King could bestow the title of 'Duke' on his brothers. That's limit.

'The 'Grand Dukes' who ruled over the Duchies were actually no more than Dukes as well.

Empire . Principality. Duchy. The rankings are getting lower at every level.

Duke Patterson's?

King Fenlai's younger brother?

Linley knew very well that the Boleyn clan, the royal clan of the Fenlai kingdom, was a very powerful clan. The two Boleyn brothers were extremely powerful warriors. King Clayde was known as the pride of Fenlai, precisely because he was also a fighter of the ninth rank.

As for Patterson, although he could not match his elder brother, he was also a warrior of the seventh rank. At the very least, he was considered a strong person.

"Duke Patterson?" Linley's heart was filled with a hint of killing intent.

Linley continued reading. “Applying as a waitress, I snuck into Duke Patterson's house. After experiencing countless dangers and using some special methods, I was able to kidnap the leader of that mysterious group, a warrior of the seventh rank. After I used some special interrogation methods, he finally admitted .. that his actions were done at the direction of Duke Patterson. But according to what this man said, after they kidnapped your mother Lina, she was sent away under Duke Patterson's orders through a different army. Clearly, behind Duke Patterson as well, there was another figure who controlled things. ”

“Before I could complete the interrogation, the disappearance of the soldier of the seventh rank aroused Duke Patterson's suspicions. Although I had made preparations, during killing some experts and escaping from Fenlai City, I was also severely injured. Carefully I sneaked home. Other than your Uncle Hillman, I don't let anyone else know. I know that my injury is too severe, and I won't have much time left. That's why I ended up leaving this letter for you. ”

"Linley, your father is not a good father. I've always been too cold and severe with you. I'm not apologizing to you; I'm just hoping that you'll be level-headed. Now that you have the power of the seventh rank, you will most likely have the ability to conduct investigations. But you have to be careful, careful, careful. Neither me nor your mother, Lina, would want you dead because of us. ”

"Linley, I'm leaving now. As of now, you are the leader of our Baruch clan. I entrust the clan and everything within it to you. ”

“At this time, how eager I was to see the warlord, 'Slayers', with my own eyes. But I know now that this is just wild hope. Linley ... worked hard. The clan now depends on you and the little Wharton. In your father's life, the thing he's most proud of is you, and little Wharton. Two amazing sons. ”

On the signature, there's a blood stain.

Fire erupted from Linley's hands.

"Hiss ..." In the blink of an eye, this letter was burned to ashes.

Hillman, standing to the side, looked at Linley.

Linley had just burned his father's last covenant to ashes. But Hillman was not angry; in fact, he quietly nodded in agreement. Although this letter was an inheritance, it also contained many secrets. If it fell into the wrong hands, it would be a great disaster.

Linley turned to look at Hillman. "Uncle Hillman. I'd like to entrust you with something. ”

"Continue . "Hillman looked at Linley.

Hillman had already decided to help Linley get his revenge.

Linley spread out his hands, took out the 'Slaughterer' warblade, then turned to look at Hillman. "Uncle Hillman, this warlord, the 'Slayers', is the ancestral heirloom of our Baruch clan. I hope you can give this war, 'Slaughterer', to my brother Wharton in the O'Brien Empire. I'd like you to personally send it! "

“O'brien Empire? Then here ... "Hillman started to worry about Linley.

Linley said seriously, "Uncle Hillman, don't worry. As a magus of two elements of the seventh rank, even the Radiant Church considers me extremely high. Even King Clayde, the ruler of Fenlai, was very polite to me. My safety is not something you need to pay attention to. ”

Hillman was a fighter. He did not fully understand what a seventeen-year-old elemental two magus of the seventh rank really meant.

In fact, he didn't even know that Linley was now a major sculptor nearing the level of Proulx and Hope Jensen, with an extremely high status.

"If that's the case, then ..." Hillman frowned.

“After you give up this war, 'Slayers', to my younger brother, help Grandpa Hiri and stay by my younger brother's side. Everything that is here, I can and will handle myself. "Linley's voice was deep, and carried a hint of ice.

In the entire Holy Union, he was alone now. He doesn't have any family here anymore. What should he be afraid of?

Linley had already decided to avenge his father, as well as find out what happened to his mother. Is his mother alive or dead? In the depths of his heart, Linley still wished that his mother was still alive. Although the chances were very slim, Linley was unwilling to give up.

"Stay in the O'Brien Empire?" Hillman was silent for a moment. After all, he had a family here in Wushan city.

But for him, as a warrior of the sixth rank, wherever in this world he went, he would be able to make a living for himself.

“Uncle Hillman, you can take your whole family with you. In addition, take this magicrystal card with you. This magicrystal card had yet to be printed, and had a million gold coins in it. Take this magicrystal card with you, all the way to the O'Brien Empire. ”

From within his clothes, Linley pulled out a single magicrystal card and handed it to Hillman.

"One million gold coins?" Hillman looked at Linley in surprise.

One million gold coins is absolute wealth. When Hogg was alive, for the sake of a few thousand gold coins, he had to sell the possessions of his clan. Even if he sold the entire ancestral home, he might not be able to earn more than a hundred thousand gold coins. But now, in the blink of an eye, Linley handed over a magicrystal card with a million gold coins on it.

"Linley, you ... Where did you get this money?" Hillman had to ask.

“Uncle Hillman, you don't need to ask. In the future, you will know. "Linley's heart, at this moment, was filled with sadness and anger. He was not wanting to brag about his achievements as a sculptor.

Hillman nodded slightly.

"Linley, wait a minute. "Hillman once again ran to the private room, then came back out with an urn, handing it to Linley.

"This? …" Linley's gaze couldn't leave the urn. He seemed to have guessed what the contents of this urn were.

Linley received the cremation urn. He felt it was heavy. Very heavy .

……

The wind howled. Not too far from the town of Wushan, there was a grave filled with many tombs. However, at this moment, an extremely luxurious tombstone had just been erected. The short-haired Linley was currently quietly sitting cross-legged in front of him.

Linley had spent a full night erecting this tombstone. Based on Linley's current ability level, carrying a few stones was a child's game. And, given that Linley had already reached the level of a master in sculpting, he could naturally carve the stone into a luxurious and luxurious tombstone.

The wind howled. Linley just sat there quietly.

"Linley's. "Hillman carries the 'Slayers' warblade on his back in this case. He appeared in front of Linley.

Linley did not open his eyes. He simply said, “Uncle Hillman, I have entrusted the 'Slayers' warblade to you. I entrust my younger brother, Wharton, to you and Grandpa Hiri as well. Safe on the way there. I'm not gonna send you away. ”

Hillman looked at the back of Linley, still sitting cross-legged. Then he saw the tombstone again. Finally, he nodded, then quietly left.

Hillman left.

He had left, bringing the 'Slayers' warblade with him.

From today on, with the ancient ancestral castle of the Baruch clan, there was nothing left but Linley and the servants.

Suddenly ... Linley opened his eyes. He looked at the tombstone.

"Dad. I swear to you that I'll make them pay a heavy price. "Linley immediately turned around and left. The Shadowmouse, Bebe, was still standing on Linley's shoulder, but he seemed to be afraid to make a sound at all.

"Lord Hogg is dead? This ... this .. "A group of Wushan residents is currently mourning the passing of Hogg.

“He's an amazing nobleman. How could he die like this? Who knows what the future of Wushan will be? For years, Lord Hogg maintained a low tax rate. Sometimes, he even had to pay from the bag to the kingdom. Where would one possibly find another such outstanding noble? ”All Wushan townspeople remember and thank Hogg for his kindness.

Currently, in front of Baruch's palace, pieces of white burial cloth were hung. Linley was wearing a set of mourning clothes as well. He quietly knelt before the memorial spirit tablet erected in front of the main hall. The little Shadowmouse, Bebe, was also kneeling next to Linley, not making a sound. It was as if he could feel the pain Linley was suffering from.

Seven days of ritual child mourning.

Though the dutiful sorrow is too late.

This is the first day of mourning.

"Mr Linley, Mr. Guillermo is currently waiting for you. "The captain of the Radiant Church Knight squad said softly at Linley's side.

Linley turned his head, glancing at him coldly. The captain could not help but feel his heart tremble.

“Seven days of mourning filial rituals. In these seven days, I will not pay attention to anyone or anything. "Said Linley coldly, and then he fell silent again.

The captain could not help but feel helpless.

But he knew what Linley was feeling at this moment. His father just died. For his son to obey the ritual of child mourning is the law of the heavens and the principle of the earth; a matter of course. The knight captain immediately left the main hall, then instructed his subordinates to head to Fenlai City and report Linley's current situation to the Radiant Church.

"Young master Linley, don't be so sad. ”

The citizens of Wushan town came with a steady stream to prostrate in front of the Hogg memorial spirit tablet. They all remembered the kindness Hogg showed when he was alive.

Linley did not speak. He just bowed his thanks to every visiting citizen.

… .

The news quickly reached the Radiant Church, but Cardinal Lampson and Cardinal Guillermo were not too surprised.

"Linley's father has died?" Guillermo nodded slightly. "It's no wonder when Linley became a magus of two elements of the seventh rank, when I sent people to inquire about Linley's father, we couldn't find anything. So he's dead. ”

The Radiant Church has a total of five Cardinals. Linley's problems were largely addressed by Cardinal Guillermo and Cardinal Lampson.

"Guillermo, let's quickly prepare a few things, then go and pay respect to Linley's father. "Saran Lampson's.

Guillermo nodded as well.

Actually, based on Hogg's own status, how could a Cardinal of the Radiant Church pay homage to him? But Hogg was Linley's father, after all, and Linley's future prospects were endless. He was already designated as an important cornerstone of the future of the Radiant Church by the church.

"Good . It's dark now. Then .... let's go early in the morning, tomorrow. ”

After Hogg's death became publicly known, due to the fact that the Kingdom of Fenlai had established Linley as a very important figure, news of his death quickly reached the Fenlai royal palace. The speed at which they received this news was only slightly slower than the Radiant Church.

"Linley's father died?"

Clayde nodded to himself as well. When Linley had become a dual-element magus of the seventh rank, he had also sent people to inquire about Linley's father, and he had even told Linley that his father had gone missing. As it turned out, Linley's father had actually died after all.

"Tomorrow morning, I will pay my respects. "Clayde reached the same decision.

Aside from Clayde, many of the most important people in Fenlai City received this news from the royal palace. Many of them glorified Master Linley, while others wanted to befriend him. Every single one of them decided to go the next morning to that remote area, Wushan city, to pay their respects to Linley's father.

While all this was happening, Linley remained inside his ancestral home in the town of Wushan, quietly observing the mourning ceremony.
