"The Lord Fallen Leaf. "Seeing how disrespectful Linley was, Guillermo hurriedly apologized," Lord Fallen Leaf, this Linley was only seventeen this year. Lord Fallen Leaf, please forgive his disrespect. ”
Guillermo knew very well just how much influence this Fallen Leaf had within the Radiant Church. This Fallen Leaf Lord could be considered the spiritual leader of the entire ascetic branch. Even the Holy Emperor himself did not have the ability to force him to go against his own will.
Using his thin, chicken-like right hand, the Fallen Leaf stroked his disheveled beard. Curiously, he watched Linley return. "roughly? No no no . He's not polite. It can only be said that this child acted very decisively and unshakably. ”
Guillermo.
He did not expect that this Fallen Leaf Lord, who originally had a bad impression of Linley, would now praise him.
“Guillermo. “Fallen Leaf views Guillermo.
"Lord Fallen Leaf, I await your instructions. "Say Guillermo with respect.
Smiling, Fallen Leaf said, "This Linley's heart is filled with killing intent, and he is firm and unshakable. I think a person like him would never hesitate in his actions, whether it was in murder or anything else. This kind of person was perfect for being the sharp sword of the Radiant Church. ”
Guillermo understood what the Fallen Leaf meant.
Although the Radiant Church urged people to follow their better nature, against the followers of other religions, the Radiant Church was cruel and merciless. Naturally, this would require a ruthless and merciless person. This is why the Ecclesiastical Church Tribunal was originally formed.
"Maybe in the future, this child, Linley, will become the new Praetor of the Ecclesiastical Court. '' Fallen Leaf said softly.
Guillermo could not help but turn to look back at Linley.
Becoming a Praetor of the Ecclesiastical Court?
Guillermo knew very well that the Praetor of the Ecclesiastical Court could be considered the second highest ranked person in the Radiant Church. In fact, from some point of view, it could be considered that the position of the Praetor of the Ecclesiastical Court was equivalent to that of the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor, on the surface, was the leader of the Radiant Church who held the most power.
But the Ecclesiastical Praetor Tribunal is the dark side of the Radiant Church, the leader of the most powerful military force within the Church!
"Lord Fallen Leaf, are you willing to guide him?" Guillermo suddenly asked.
But Fallen Leaf still shook her head.
"Why?" Guillermo. Since Fallen Leaf valued Linley, why would he not be willing to train him?
Fallen Leaf shook her head. “My training method is not suitable for him. My way requires a pure heart, and is suitable for someone whose heart faces light. But for him .. The path he went through was a path of slaughter. ”
Guillermo.
“Guillermo, there is no need for you to find another master for him. A truly strong person will depend on himself to find the most suitable path for himself. After all, the teachings of others are based on their own ways. ”
Fallen Leaf looked at Guillermo. "You are the Arch Magus of the ninth rank. So, why did I never instruct you? Precisely for this reason. Even if I tell you about what I have understood and my insight, you will still not succeed, because only after countless personal experiences will your soul change, that allows you to understand the deeper levels of mystery. Only then will you succeed. ”
"Remember. Rely yourself. Fallen Leaf smiled.
Guillermo.
He had yet to enter Saint level, so there was no way for him to understand what the difference was between Saint Level and ninth rank. Although at times, he wondered if the Fallen Leaf had deliberately withheld precious guidance from him, after seeing the sincere gaze of the Fallen Leaf and hearing her pure voice, he trusted her.
“Maybe I really have to rely on myself. ”
Guillermo had been held in the ninth rank as a magus for a long time, now. He was eager to make a breakthrough.
After all, between ninth rank and Saint level, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
In Linley's house. Hot Water Source Park.
Beside the hot spring pool, Linley quietly sat in a trance of meditation.
"Trembling, trembling. "Linley's entire body constantly let out strange sounds, as his bones and muscles continued to shudder. Sweat kept flowing in his body.
Training according to the Secret Dragonblood Manual was ten times more effective than using ordinary battle-qi training methods.
But this is only natural. After all, the requirements for one to be able to use the Secret Dragonblood Manual were also very strict.
“Why is training for humans so difficult? You even need all kinds of secret manuals that require different body types. "Lying next to Linley, little chief Bebe turned to look at Linley, his mind full of questions.
He was a magical beast, and his training was very simple. He would directly absorb the darkness-style elemental essence from the outside world, pulling it into his body and into his magic core.
There's no secret. It's just a very natural absorption process.
… .
Linley continued to live a quiet life like this, spending most of his time each day in training.
Using several high-quality training methods at the same time, he boosted his body's capacity for punishment to the maximum.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
"Swaying sounds!"
Holding the Bloodviolet Godsword in his hand, Linley tested one attack after another.
Which angle allowed the sword to strike the fastest?
How to control the vibration of Bloodviolet to reduce the resistance from the natural air friction, and make the sword move faster?
Many times, he painstakingly practiced attacking with his sword.
Every time Linley made his move, a brilliant violent flash would appear.
The speed of this punch was enough to make one's quail heart.
But Linley was still not satisfied. He was constantly pursuing improvement, perfection. Using his understanding of the wind elemental essence given to him by his wind magic, he trained hard to make Bloodviolet move faster and smoother.
"My lord!" A voice called out from outside the Hot Springs Garden.
Linley stopped. With a movement of his hand, the Bloodviolet Godsword in his hand disappeared. No one could see that this Bloodviolet sword had wrapped around Linley's waist now.
Even if a normal person paid attention to his belt, they would only think it was a purple belt.
"Come in. "It was only now that Linley spoke.
Instantly, a beautiful maid came running at high speed. A look of adoration on his face, he looked at Linley, and then immediately lowered his head and said respectfully, "My master, the Debs clan has sent someone there with an invitation card. "As he spoke, he offered the invitation card to Linley.
Linley looked at the invitation card.
The invitation card is red, while the decoration is gold. The words 'invitation cards' were written above with bright and thick characters.
"Invitation card?"
Linley received the invitation card, and then opened it. Indeed, the contents of the card were exactly as he thought.
“On June 18, Kalan, Rowling, and Alice will be performing their engagement ceremony. Who is this Rowling? "Staring at the invitation card, Linley frowned.
"Yes, sir. "The officer said respectfully, then he left the Hot Springs Garden.
"Boss, was it the Debs clan that arranged the engagement ceremony for Alice?" Bebe jumped onto Linley's shoulder, then stretched his head out to peek at the card.
"Uh, Rowling? Who's Rowling? "Bebe looked at Linley suspiciously.
Doehring Cowart also appeared next to Linley. Looking at the invitation letter, a slight smile appeared on his face.
“Kakek Doehring's. "Linley turned to look at Doehring Cowart.
"Are you wondering who Rowling is?" Doehring Cowart really is someone who only gets crafts because of age. He understood immediately. "It was easy . Your statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', made many people familiar with Alice's appearance. Although they did not know who Alice was, after the engagement ceremony was published, many people would see Alice. At that time, they will definitely recognize it as a print for your creation 'Awakening From the Dream'. The love story contained within your sculpture is clearly visible to anyone who has ever analyzed stoneculpting. And it was precisely for this reason that the Debs clan was clearly unwilling to let Alice become Kalan's main wife. This Rowling will most likely be the wife of the headmaster Kalan. ”
Linley.
Alice. Wouldn't it be the wife of the headmaster of Kalan's?
In the Yulan continent, the headmaster's wife held a high status in the household, while the second wife held a much lower status.
"Because of me?" Instantly, Linley's emotions grew complicated.
Because of her statue, Alice can no longer be the wife of the headmaster Kalan.
"Linley, do you mean to go to this engagement ceremony?" Ask Doehring Cowart.
"Yes nih . Of course . "Linley's eyes hardened, and then she laughed. “Bernard has invited me several times now. This time, he specifically sent out an invitation card. How can I refuse? "
Linley looked at the blue sky, where a wisp of silk-like clouds floated.
In the past, he had been sitting on the grass with Alice and was staring at the blue sky like this.
June 18th.
According to the pastors of the Radiant Church, this was a very favorable day. Thus, the Debs clan chose to hold an engagement ceremony on this day.
Today, the front of the house of the Debs clan was crowded with carriages and people.
Great nobility, rich king, beautiful noble woman, dazzling young noble woman, handsome noble youth, it could be said that the castle of the Debs clan had more nobles present than anywhere else in Fenlai City.
"Lord Marquis Linley has arrived!"
The receiving voice for the Debs clan surged two octaves as Linley, dressed in black male clothing, stepped into the main hall of the Debs clan.
Almost all the nobles in the main hall stopped their conversation and turned to look at Linley.
Linley glanced at the room, a small smile on his lips. This attitude of Linley was completely in keeping with the majestic presence of the upper nobles.
"Mr Linley, welcome!"
Bernard, who had previously chatted with a few other guests, quickly walked towards Linley. Kalan, who was the lead role for the show, came also on Bernard's side.
"Mr . Bernard. "Linley smiled. “Congratulations on your son's engagement, to two beautiful women, no less. ”
"Thank you thank you . "Say Bernard warmly.
Kalan also said respectfully, "Mr Linley, welcome to our home. Hope you enjoy today. ”
Linley glanced at Kalan, but only nodded. Without speaking to him, Linley looked back at Bernard. "Lord Bernard, please take care of your other guests. I'll just find a place to stand. ”
…
The main hall of the Debs clan was very large. Hundreds of nobles and kings were in it, but they did not feel the slightest bit claustrophobic. The rich noble lady and the rich young noble lady were all beautifully dressed, walking through the crowd like a proud peacock.
Especially after Linley arrived. Many rich young noblewomen 'unknowingly' were getting closer to him.
"Lord Linley, you are so amazing. I've been practicing making stones for three years now, but I haven't even been able to sculpt the basic shapes yet. "A young noblewoman with a head of beautiful brown hair said warmly to Linley. "Lord Linley, you are truly extraordinary. You are only a little older than us, but you are already approaching the level of Proulx and Hope Jensen. Lord Linley, can you help teach me? "
This noble young lady looked expectantly at Linley with her big and beautiful eyes.
“Stonesculpting requires sufficient wrist strength. For a gentle and beautiful woman like you, it is actually better if you are just learning to paint. "Said Linley with a shallow smile.
As he spoke, Linley felt helpless.
Perhaps it was because all these young noblewomen all knew that Linley was not married yet, but they all came to disturb Linley, one after another.
And of course, the parents of these young noble ladies were very happy just to sit and watch.
Because almost all the nobles within the Fenlai Kingdom knew that if one could become in-laws with Linley, their clan would rise as high as a leap!
What was Linley like?
He was already the Prime Minister of Magus, but actually all the nobles knew that he was only serving the Kingdom of Fenlai on behalf of. In the future, he would definitely become an important figure within the Radiant Church. In the future, his position might be higher than even the ruler of Fenlai!
"Linley's. "Sunny sounds are heard.
Linley turned. "Your Majesty. ”
The noble young ladies around him all bowed, no longer daring to snare him. Only now did Linley secretly sigh as he headed towards Clayde. When he was with the king, at least those noble young ladies would not dare to disturb him.
"Linley, see the person you like?" Clayde whispered seductively into Linley's ear as Linley approached.
Linley could not help but throw a helpless look at Clayde. "Your Majesty, there's no need to tease me like this, right?"
"Haha ..." Clayde could not help but laugh out loud.
Suddenly, the entire main hall fell silent. Clayde also turned his head to stare at the door to the main hall, his eyes shining. "Hey. There's a leading lady for tonight. ”
Linley turned to look as well.
Kalan held the hands of a beautiful woman on each side. These two women wore beautiful full-length dresses, while the exquisite jewelry in their golden hair was brightly sparkling.
One of them is Rowling. The other is Alice.
"Alice. ”
Linley's gaze rested for a moment on Alice. Alice is made prettier today than ever before. But this time, the one who held his hand was Kalan.
"Yes God! Isn't this the 'goddess' that Master Linley carved into 'Awakening From Dreams'? ”Suddenly, a noble let out a startled cry.
The main hall was instantly filled with boisterous discussions.
Other than some who already knew what Alice looked like, most of the people present did not know what Alice looked like. But they had seen the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream'. Many people have even pointed to the woman in 'Awakening From the Dream' as the goddess of their dreams.
But at this moment, the 'goddess of their dreams' suddenly appeared before them at this engagement ceremony.
