The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 116's

"Patterson!"

Linley silently uttered this name to himself. His mother had been taken away by Patterson's forces many years ago, and now, eleven years later, his father had been wounded and killed by Patterson's forces as well during his investigation of his mother's whereabouts.

This killing intent in Linley's heart was hidden, like lava at the base of a primed volcano. But one day, it will erupt.

"Boss, let me kill this Patterson for you. "Kneeling next to Linley, the little Shadowmouse spoke mentally.

"Don't move. "Linley shouted back mentally.

Linley remained kneeling inside the main hall, while one noble after another came inside, paying their respects to Linley's father.

……

That night's banquet, Linley was not present for a moment. He remained kneeling within the hall, observing the rites of filial mourning.

Many nobles eventually left the town of Wushan in the afternoon, rushing back to Fenlai City. But there were still some left behind in the town of Wushan.

For example, Cardinal Guillermo. Finally, Delia.

… .

The ritual child mourning should last for seven days.

That night, Linley ate some random food, then returned to his room, preparing to start his training.

"Linley, are you planning to take revenge for your father?" The white-robed Doehring Cowart appeared by his side.

Linley glanced at Doehring Cowart. “Grandfather Doehring, I really must take revenge for my father's death. Although I knew that it was Duke Patterson who sent people to chase and kill my father, in addition to avenging me, I also needed to investigate what happened to my mother, she said, and find out if he's alive or dead. ”

Killing Patterson was easy.

But killing him in a way that would prevent anyone from knowing was more difficult. After all, after killing Patterson, Linley had to keep looking for his mother.

Doehring Cowart nodded slightly. “You can make your own decisions in your personal affairs. It's just, I hope you won't act rashly. After all, your current strength is still too weak, compared to the actual top-tier fighters. Even Patterson ..all his soldiers combined are powers you can't handle. ”

Linley nodded slightly.

Patterson is Clayde's younger brother. How could he not have so many subordinates?

“I hope that in less than a year, I should be able to reach the seventh rank as a warrior. I can't waste any more time. "Linley sat cross-legged on the ground. The battle-qi dragonblood in his body once again began to circulate throughout his body, and all of his muscles and bones began to tremble.

Linley could feel his muscles and bones slowly rising in strength, as the tiny Dragonblood cells also began to merge with his muscles and bones, increasing their endurance and toughness.

Once the first person started training according to the Secret Dragonblood Manual, the step of improvement was extremely fast.

In this state of training, Linley did not notice the passage of time at all.

About eleven o'clock at night.

"Kneak!" "Kneak!" "Kneak!"

The knock on the door. At the same time, a familiar voice. "Linley's. It's Delia. Can I come in?"

Linley.

“Wah "Linley sighed deeply. All of his trembling muscles returned to normal, and the Dragonblood-qi battle in his body was once again drawn into his Dantian realm. Linley looked towards the door. In her mind, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did Delia come here to talk to me so late at night?"

As he wondered to himself, Linley replied, "Come in. ”

Pushing the door open, Delia stepped in.

Upon seeing Delia, Linley's eyes couldn't help but brighten. At this moment, Delia's golden hair was tied in a simple manner. A few hanging tassels made her young purple dress look even more graceful. Linley had to admit .. Delia was a very alluring person.

Especially considering that he was in the main lineage for the Leon clan of the Yulan Empire. Delia had an aura of nobility that Alice could not match.

"Linley, are you okay?" Delia asked in a soft voice as she walked over to Linley's bed and sat down. He looked at Linley with concern.

Linley could not help but feel the warmth in his heart. Smiling, he said, “I'm fine. ”

Delia nodded. “In Fenlai City, I heard about your father's death. I'm a little worried. But ... You're really tough as I've always felt. ”

"Thank you . ”

Linley continued, "Delia, is there something you want to discuss, it's late at night?"

"You are a fool . "After him, Doehring Cowart secretly cursed Linley.

A Beautiful Girl came by this late night to talk to you and cheer you up. And you really ask her what she wants?

Delia laughed, a little nervous. But then he calmed down as usual. “What, if I don't want something, I can't come to chat with you? I've known you since our first year together at the Ernst Institute. Since when did you decide to keep me at such a distance? "

“No, that's not what I meant. "Linley hurriedly said.

Delia could not help but laugh in excitement, but then she let out a long sigh. "Linley, there really is something I want to talk to you about, which is why I came so late at night. ”

"Continue . "Linley couldn't help but start to mentally guess what Delia would say.

Delia said helplessly, "Linley, you should know that this is the year 9999 of the Yulan calendar. In eight more months, it will be the year 10000 of the Yulan calendar. The first day of the year, the entire Yulan continent celebrates the Yulan Festival. You can imagine how important an event the celebration of the 10,000th Yulan Festival is. ”

Linley nodded.

But Linley did not understand why Delia was saying these things.

“Although the entire Yulan continent holds the Yulan festival with great importance, our Yulan Empire considers it higher. Delia continued.

"My clan has sent an order. For this Yulan Festival, I have to go home. For this Yulan Festival, our Yulan Empire will hold celebrations throughout the empire. Naturally, we main descendants of the Leon clan must return to participate. "Delia looked at Linley. "Linley, the Yulan Empire is very far from the Sacred Alliance. This round trip will most likely take a year or two. Tomorrow, I must go and return to my homeland. ”

Linley understood the meaning of Delia.

In other words, in this next year or so, he would probably not have the chance to meet Delia again.

Staring at Linley, Delia bit her lips, then suddenly said, "Linley. Before I leave, can I hold you? ”

"Hugs?" Linley. He looked at Delia.

Linley knew very well how Delia felt towards him. But because the two of them interacted too often, since their first year of studying together at the Ernst Institute, in Linley's mind, Delia had become a close confidant woman. And especially after the affair with Alice, Linley's heart had been frozen and locked.

Seeing the look in Delia's eyes, Linley nodded.

A smile appeared on Delia's face, and she immediately reached out, hugged Linley's neck, then pulled herself firmly into Linley's body. Delia pressed her face gently onto Linley's face as well.

Linley seemed to be able to feel the breath with them …

He could also smell an alluring scent on Delia's body. In particular, when their faces touched, he could feel the warmth of his skin.

"Linley's. Thank you . "Delia muttered into Linley's ears.

Linley made no sound.

Releasing it, Delia slowly got up, her eyes still locked on Linley. Half-standing, Delia stopped. There was only two inches of distance between his eyes and Linley.

Suddenly, Delia bowed.

Delia's lips coincidentally landed and swept over Linley, causing Linley to become stunned.

Delia did not give Linley a chance to react, as she then quickly stood up. Taking one last look at Linley, he quickly ran out of Linley's bedroom.

"Boss, you've just been forcefully kissed!" From the opposite side of the blanket, Bebe appeared her small head, staring at Linley.

"You . Back to sleep. "Linley shouted mentally at Bebe.

Bebe took out a few unsatisfied squeaks before returning to the blanket. But Linley was still staring at the closed door where Delia had left. His nose was still filled with the fragrance aura of Delia's perfume. His face seemed to still feel the warmth of Delia's face.

Rubbing his lips, Linley felt a soft, warm feeling in his heart. The feeling was very similar to the feeling he had that night, when he hid with Alice on his balcony and talked all night.

"May …"

Shaking his head, Linley threw away all these foreign thoughts.

"Linley's. "Doehring Cowart looked at Linley with interest. "When you were young and first entered the Ernst Institute, and first saw this Delia girl, didn't I tell you, right then and there, that this is beauty in the making? I told you from the beginning to go after him. Not feeling sorry yet? ”

Linley frowned as he looked at Doehring Cowart.

“Alright, I'll stop talking now. "With a twist of his beard, Doehring Cowart turned into a beam of light and retreated into the Coiling Dragon ring.

Linley did not think of this anymore. Once again sitting cross-legged, he entered a trance of meditation to filter out the mageforce.

Early the next day, Delia led a delegation from the Leon clan away from the city of Wushan, but Linley did not send her away. He continued to kneel there in the main hall, maintaining his vigilance and observing the dutiful mourning ceremony.

In the blink of an eye, seven days of child mourning had passed.

In the town of Wushan, aside from the Linley brooch, there were only two main characters left: Cardinal Lampson and Cardinal Guillermo.

As Cardinals of the Radiant Church, Lampson and Guillermo had nothing to attend to. After all, most of the small matters could be dealt with by their subordinates, making their lives very relaxed. These few days, they spent time strolling around the town of Wushan, while occasionally going to the Mountain. Wushan.

Morning Wushan Townspeople were all watching on each side of the road.

Delegates from the Radiant Church and from the Dawson Conglomerate began to leave.

"Boss Yale, Second Bro, Fourth Bro. There's something I need to talk to Lord Guillermo's side about. "Linley told his brooch, and then left the Dawson Conglomerate carriage, then entered the carriage of Lord Cardinal Guillermo. ”

Lampson was on the train. The two Cardinals and Linley shared a carriage among themselves.

But this chariot has been specially designed for the Cardinals of the Radiant Church. That's very broad. There was enough room for the three of them to lie down and sleep, if they wanted to.

"Linley, have you made up your mind?" Guillermo laughed as he looked at Linley.

Previously, Linley had told Guillermo that he needed to discuss the matter of joining the Radiant Church with his father. But now, his father is dead. Naturally, there was no one else for Linley to discuss this with. Now, he must have an answer for them.

"Mr Guillermo, Mr. Lampson. I am still young . I hope .... to temporarily assist His Majesty, King Clayde. For now, I think it would be best if I did not take a formal position within the Radiant Church. If in the future, the Radiant Church needs me, I can sign up to your services at any time. "Say Linley.

Both Guillermo and Lampson laughed.

Serve King Clayde? Clayde was the ruler of the Kingdom of Fenlai, while the capital of Fenlai, was also the Holy Capital of the Holy Union. Moreover, the ruler of Fenlai was under the direct authority of the Radiant Church.

For Linley to serve King Clayde was the same thing as declaring his loyalty to the Radiant Church.

"Very good . "Lampson was the first to start laughing. "Linley, this is a very wise decision. ”

But neither Lampson nor Guillermo knew that the reason Linley came to this decision was because he wanted to investigate the whereabouts of his mother. Only by inserting himself into the national affairs of the Fenlai Kingdom would he have more chances to deal with Duke Patterson in the future.

Guillermo laughed too. “Then from now on, you can be considered a member of our Radiant Church. Oh right you don't have spells for earth and wind style spells of the seventh, eighth, or ninth rank, or forbidden spells, right? "

"Yes . "Linley nodded. “I can only develop spells for the Soaring Technique through analyzing magical theories. ”

Guillermo said with satisfaction, “It is not too difficult to foresee the spell for the Soaring Technique, but it is still quite impressive that you can extrapolate it from the Floating Technique spell. Linley, don't worry. After we return to the Church, we will send people to cast all spells for spells of the seventh rank and higher for you. ”
