The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 120's

During the recent assassination attempt, Linley's side suffered the loss of eighteen Radiant Church Knights, four female servants, and two male aides. As a result, the Radiant Church further strengthened and enlarged the security detail within the plantation.

On the same night of the murder, inside the palace.

"Linley, are you okay?" King Clayde asked with concern.

"I'm just a little hurt, Your Majesty. "Linley's arm was wrapped in medical gauze.

Actually, Linley was not injured at all during this attack, but he did not want others to know exactly how strong he was. Thus, he lightly injured himself intentionally, using his straight chisel to injure himself.

For Linley, who had previously suffered the pain of an early Dragonform transformation, this kind of pain was nothing.

"As long as you're okay, Linley. ”Duke Patterson, who was next to King Clayde, laughed.

Linley looked at Duke Patterson.

Tonight was supposed to be the night for the meeting between Linley and Duke Patterson, but due to the assassination attempt, the two of them no longer had the chance to have a private conversation tonight.

"Second brother, we better not bother Linley any further. Let's let him rest well. "Clayde looked up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty . "Patterson glanced at Linley, and then followed King Clayde.

Linley felt as if there was a hint of helplessness in the look Patterson had given him. Clearly, as per Patterson's original plan, there were a few things he wanted to discuss with Linley personally during the scheduled one-on-one meeting.

But obviously, this is no longer the right time.

In the next few days, the plantation returned to normal.

"Boss, today's May 18th, right?" Bebe, who was enjoying lunch with Linley, suddenly spoke mentally to Linley.

"really. Whatisit? "Linley looked at Bebe.

Bebe puckered his little nose. Turning his mouth, he mentally said, "Boss, did you forget? The Bernard, the leader of the Debs clan, told us that June 18th would be the date of his son's engagement ceremony. He invites you to attend as well. It's now May 18th. You only have one month left. ”

"Wedding?"

Linley.

A month from now, Alice and Kalan will be engaged.

“It's none of my business. "Linley quickly returned to her usual calm demeanor, lowered her head and continued to eat.

Bebe's bead little eyes rolled around three times, and then he used his little claws to rub his chin. A look of suspicion on his face, he said, "Could it be that I, Bebe, am wrong? It shouldn't be. I'm pretty awesome anyway. My assessment is very good. In his heart, the Boss certainly cared about this affair. If it was me, Bebe, I would have smashed that little Kalan skull with one leg. ”

"Mr Linley. ”

One of the guardian knights entered the main hall. "Mr Linley. Cardinal Guillermo has arrived. ”

"Guillermo?" Linley hesitated for a moment, then he immediately put down his equipment and went to the door.

Throughout the hierarchy of the Radiant Church, the person who was most familiar with Linley and had the best relationship with was probably Cardinal Guillermo. When someone treated Linley politely like Guillermo did, Linley would naturally not act in such a high and arrogant manner, as if he thought himself better.

"Linley, there's something I have to tell you. "After seeing Linley, Guillermo began to chuckle with joy as he spoke.

Linley looked at Guillermo questioningly. "What's that?"

Beaming, Guillermo said, "Linley, are you aware that within our Radiant Church, we have a special group of people known as ... Hermits?"

"Yes, right . "Linley nodded.

Previously, when he was kidnapped by the experts of the Cult of Shadows, it was the Vice-Arbitrator of the Ecclesiastical Tribunal as well as an ascetic and several Executives who had frightened the opponent. It was only then that he was able to return to the city of Fenlai.

“In our Radiant Church, there are many people who are obsessed with magic or fighting skills who have entered the ranks of Hermits. In other words, the Knights of the Radiant Temple, as well as the Ecclesiastical Court, did not have as many experts among their ranks as the Hermits did. ”

Guillermo beamed as he patted Linley on the shoulder. “What I will say is that you have a chance to become a legendary Hermit disciple. ”

"A legendary hermit?" Linley frowned.

Guillermo smiled faintly. “This legendary man is considered to be at the highest level, even among recluses. He also has a very high status within our Radiant Church. As for his strength, even if we look at the Yulan continent as a whole, there might only be three natural freaks who can surpass his power. ”

"Three weird natures?" Linley immediately grew curious. "Lord Guillermo, who are these three strange creatures you're talking about?"

While chatting, the two of them walked back to the main hall.

Guillermo did not answer directly. He glanced at Vicar next to him, and Vicar directly escorted everyone present, then obediently stepped out, closing the door.

In the entire main hall, only Linley, Guillermo, and Bebe were now present.

"Linley, in the future, it's possible that you'll meet these people, so it's no big deal if I tell you about them now. "Said Guillermo, showing a mysterious atmosphere.

Linley looked at Guillermo curiously.

Guillermo sighed. “Here in the Yulan continent, there are three individuals who have surpassed the existences of Saint level fighters. The three 'freaks of nature' that I'm talking about, are exactly three freaks. ”

“Those who rose past the level of Saints? That would make them Gods? "Linley's surprised.

"really. You can call them Gods. "Guillermo nodded.

Linley immediately raised his ears to listen closely.

Guillermo slowly said, “In the entire Yulan continent, there are only three such freaks. The first freak was the 'Great Priest of the Living Temple' of the Yulan Empire. Many people simply refer to it as the 'Great Priest'. At least, I don't know how old the High Priest is. He lived too long. ”

Linley nodded.

“This second freak has lived a very long time. He was the true ruler of the third most dangerous place in the Yulan continent, the Forest of Darkness. This freak was supposed to be a magical beast in nature, but he had reached the level of being able to transform into a human. Linley, you should already know that when a magical beast reaches Saint-level, it can change its body enough to speak in human language, but it cannot transform into human form. You can imagine for yourself how terrifying a magical beast that could turn into a human. ”

Linley nodded slightly.

"And the third?" Ask Linley.

Guillermo sighed. “This third person is also someone I respect a lot. He was the founding Emperor of the O'Brien Empire, the most militarily powerful empire in the Yulan continent. People call him 'War God O'Brien'. ”

"O'Brien?" Linley memorized this name.

Given that the O'Brien Empire was named after this person, one could imagine how amazing he was.

“Five thousand years ago, the God of War quickly became famous, defeating one Saint-level warrior one after another. In that era, there were many super warriors, such as the Four Supreme Warriors, who appeared during that period of time. "Guillermo smiled at Linley.

Linley thought back to his own ancestor, Baruch.

The first leader of the Baruch clan had appeared almost exactly five thousand years ago as well.

"Right then, the Four Supreme Warriors were extremely powerful, but their brilliance was completely defeated by the God of War. The War God defeated one powerful Saint-level fighter one after another, and in the end, even engaged in a great battle with the High Priest, in the air above the Yulan River. During their battle, the shockwave itself killed over ten thousand people. In the end, both the O'Brien Empire and the Yulan Empire ceded a large amount of territory, allowing it to form into three independent empires that served as a buffer zone between these two great Empires. “Guillermo sighed emotionally.

"Linley, in the minds of many, the High Priest was the most powerful human alive. But the God of War could really fight to a dead end with the High Priest. But how many years has the God of War lived? This is why so many people are amazed at him. Who knows the level of power of the War God right now, after five thousand years of training. "Guillermo sighed with praise.

Linley silently nodded as well.

“This War God. He fought with the High Priest to a dead end? ”Doehring Cowart's voice sounded in Linley's mind. "How is that possible?"

Back in the Doehring Cowart era, the brilliance of the High Priest faded everyone in the world.

In Doehring Cowart's heart, the High Priest was invincible and invincible.

“Grandfather Doehring, every era will see super combatants appear. If you, Grandpa Doehring, had not died back then and continued to train, maybe one day you would also pass the Saint level and become an expert on the same level as the High Priest. "Said Linley mentally.

Doehring Cowart let out a low sigh and no longer spoke.

"Just talk about those three freaks. The person I will meet is only lower than the three. If you can become his disciple, it will be of great benefit to you as you seek to increase your power in Magic. "Kata Guillermo's.

Linley laughed inside.

As far as someone who was only inferior to the three freaks was .. wasn't his own grandfather someone who was at Saint-level pinnacle?

"What is the name of this Hermit?" Ask Linley.

"Name .. Fallen Leaf. ”

In one of the slums of Fenlai City. Only now did Linley realize that within Fenlai City, one of the largest, most prosperous cities in the Yulan continent, there was a poor and secluded place. It was much worse than his own hometown in the city of Wushan.

At this moment, Linley and Guillermo were walking shoulder to shoulder in a dirty, dirty alley.

"Lord Guillermo, the Fallen Leaf Lord you spoke of lives here?" Linley could not believe it.

"really. "Guillermo nodded. "Linley, remember, this Fallen Leaf Lord hates nobles who consider themselves better than others. So, you have to be simple and polite, even towards these poor people. ”

Linley glanced at the poor people who were marching on the streets.

Not too far away, he saw a seven or eight-year-old, malnourished to the point of his skin and bones, who wore a greasy, dirty black cloth as his clothes. This child looked at Linley with fear in his eyes.

Due to his thin skin, his sunken eyes looked extremely large.

Those innocent eyes made Linley's heart tremble.

Linley did nothing, continued walking forward with Guillermo. On the road, Linley saw one poor child after another. None of them wore decent clothes, and all of them were extremely poor.

"Here we are. “Guillermo suddenly said.

Linley could not help but turn to look.

They stood in front of the dwelling like a casually erected metal skeleton. An old man who looked like a beggar was sitting in the middle of the building. The old man was so thin that it made his heart shake, and all the skin on his body was limp. His hands were like chicken claws, only skin and bones.

This old man looked at Linley curiously.

"The Lord Fallen Leaf. "Say Guillermo with respect.

"He really is the Fallen Leaf Lord?" Linley was unsure in his heart, but seeing Guillermo behave in such a way, he was forced to believe.

But could this old man in front of him, who looked like a beggar who could be exhaled by strong winds, really become a Saint level fighter, Lord 'Fallen Leaf'?

"Guillermo, this is what you mentioned to me, called a gifted boy?" Ask the old beggar.

"Yes, Lord Fallen Leaf. "Say Guillermo with respect.

“Fallen Leaf grandfather, Fallen Leaf Grandpa, hurry, help save my mother. He was beaten and wounded by someone! ”A young voice rang out, then a girl ran in, carrying her skinny mother on her back.

The old beggar immediately turned around and extended his right hand.

Surrounded by a holy light, the severely injured woman began to recover at an astonishing speed.

The old beggar turned to look at Linley. “I will only teach those who are kind hearted and pure soul. But you ... Your heart is filled with excessive killing intent. I'm not going to teach you. ”

Guillermo could only be dumbfounded by these words.

"Excessive desire to kill?" A slight smile appeared on Linley's face.

The need to take revenge on behalf of his parents had caused unspeakable pain and torment to Linley. Every minute, he wanted to kill Patterson, but he kept forcing himself to be calm and not rash. But this kind of constant self-repression did indeed cause Linley's killing intent to grow even greater.

“Then, Mr. Fallen Leaf, I'm gone. "Linley bowed slightly, then turned around and left.

The old beggar had originally wanted to say a few additional words. After seeing Linley turn around and leave so clean and forthright, he couldn't help but be surprised. But then, a slight smile appeared on his face.
