The Sovereign Dragon Ring

The Sovereign Dragon Ring
Episode 122



The main hall of the Debs clan was in an uproar.


"This ... this …"


Many nobles were completely shocked to see Alice. Linley's extremely high level of sculpting ability, unfortunately, was the cause as they could easily recognize Alice as the inspiration for 'Awakening From the Dream'.


Linley had already surpassed the level of 'skill'; through his sculptures, he was actually able to bring out the charm and alluring qualities of this woman. All of these nobles, at first glance, can be absolutely certain that Alice is the 'goddess' of their dreams.


Many nobles looked at Alice, then turned to look at Linley.


Be quiet!


Suddenly, the entire main hall became deafeningly silent, as if all the nobles present suddenly understood something, while also understanding that now was not the time to discuss this.


But this silence .. made Alice even more embarrassed and panicked.


From the corner of her eyes, Alice glanced at Linley. Linley, who was standing right next to King Fenlai. Still as calm as usual. He just silently looked at her.


Towards Linley …


Alice's emotions towards her were extremely complex. There's regret. There's hatred. Hating the fact that Linley's statue had prevented her from becoming the main wife, and also because it made her feel extremely embarrassed now. But at the same time, the statue had also made her completely understand how Linley felt towards her.


Kalan also felt very awkward.


"Everyone, let me introduce you. "Bernard's voice sounded, his face smiling. “My son Kalan is now officially engaged to Miss Rowling and Miss Alice. ”


As he spoke, Bernard walked over to Kalan's side. Pointing at Rowling, she said, "This is Miss Rowling, the main wife of my son Kalan. And this is Miss Alice. ”


Instantly, the main hall was filled with quiet murmurs. Many times, someone would sneak a look at Linley.


"Everything, let's start the banquet!" Bernard laughed cheerfully.


All the nobles in the main hall entered the banquet area. During the banquet, the members of the Debs clan were very friendly and warm to everyone. Nevertheless, there were still many nobles who would continue to glance at Alice, then glance at Linley.


Holding a glass of wine, Linley walked to a secluded corner in the main hall, leisurely sitting on the sofa.


“Bos, I can hear so many people chatting about you. "Bebe jumped at Linley's feet.


Linley gently sipped the wine in his glass. "Let them talk if they want to. I'm fine with that. Just ... Alice is most likely suffering. ”


Right now, towards Alice, Linley's emotions were calm and peaceful.


Only now did he understand how much influence this statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', had on Alice's life.


Sitting in that corner, Linley silently watched Kalan, Alice, and Rowling move from table to table, meeting with the guests. He was secretly drinking his own wine.


"Lord Linley, why are you here drinking wine with your loneliness?" A beautiful young lady with jade hair and snow-white skin walked over, sitting naturally next to Linley while extending her wine glass towards him.


Linley clinked his glasses with him.


“My name is Sasha [Shasha]. Before the banquet starts, I wish I had the chance to chat with you, Mr. Linley. But it looks like you attracted quite a lot of attention from the girls. I don't have a chance at all. "Sasha laughing.


Linley looked at Sasha.


Sasha was very tall and slender, and her laughter was rich and vibrant. His eyes also held a bewitching, intoxicating gaze. Compared to those noble young ladies, this kind of woman had a more feminine charm.


"Girls? Could it be that you are not a girl, Sasha? "Ask Linley with a 'curious taste' engrossed.


Sasha took a sip of wine, then laughed. "A girl? I've been married for eight years now. How can I be a girl? "


Linley could not help but be surprised.


"But .. My husband died on our wedding day. "Sasha glanced at Linley as she spoke in a soft voice.


"Uh …. "Linley looked at Sasha in amazement.


Seeing the look on Linley's face, Sasha couldn't help but start laughing in a charming laugh, and then she raised her glass and took another sip of red wine. Smiling, he said to Linley, "Master Linley. You really .. too cute. ”


Linley could not help but laugh as well.


Sasha is a really interesting person.


"Saisha. What are you doing here? ”Duke Patterson walks while laughing.


Sasha glanced at Duke Patterson. Pretending to be angry, he said, "Master Duke, I just started chatting with Mr. Linley. Fine . Please talk to him. "As he spoke, he winked at Linley, then left.


Duke Patterson stared at Sasha's silhouette for a moment before sitting next to Linley.


"Linley, what do you think?" Duke Patterson told Linley.


"What do I think about what?"


"Sasha, of course. "Duke Patterson looked at Linley suggestively. "Linley, among the nobility, Sasha was a beautiful woman pursued by many. Look at Sasha's figure, her eyes, her little mouth. Oh … "


Linley could only laugh.


"Let me tell you, Sasha should be very interested in you. If you take advantage of this opportunity, you should be able to bring it into your hands. "Patterson patted Linley on the shoulder.


Linley glanced at Patterson. "Not interested . ”


Patterson looked at Linley in surprise.


"Linley's. "Patterson lowered his voice as he spoke to Linley. “Tonight, after this party is over, don't rush. There's something I want to discuss with you. ”


Linley.


Such a secret?


"You wouldn't not give me a face, would you?" Patterson pretended to be angry.


Linley glanced at Patterson, musing to himself, "I want to see what you're doing. "Linley kinda wanted the chance to get a little bit ... closer .. to Patterson too.


"Mr Duke, don't worry. Tonight, I'll wait a little while for you. "Linley smiled as she replied.


Eight o'clock that night. Many nobles had already left, but Linley was in no hurry. He still remembers his appointment with Patterson.


"I want to see what you're doing. ”


Linley waited quietly in the main hall.


"Linley, I'm leaving now. "Clayde said to Linley as he left. The people in the main hall were getting fewer and fewer. Being somewhat impatient, Linley left the main hall, stepping onto the outer balcony to enjoy the cool night breeze.


Right at this moment, a servant quietly walked up to him.


"Mr Linley. The Lord Duke invites you to take a walk. "The servant said slowly.


"As a secret like this?" Linley was a little surprised.


"Leading . "On the surface, Linley looked calm. Bebe remained curled up inside this Linley robe. The waiter took Linley into a very dark and secluded passageway. Judging from the appearance of the road, this was a place where people rarely came.


The servant said respectfully, "Lord Linley, this is in accordance with Lord Duke's instructions. No one's seen you, Mr. Linley. ”


"Oh?"


Linley furrowed his brows. But Linley was not afraid. He continued to follow the servant forward, as the two of them walked through the dark and secluded passageway, then passed through a small group of trees. A secret door was opened, and they arrived at a small building.


"So the Debs clan has a secret place like this. "Say Linley to himself.


If one was unable to fly, it would be extremely difficult to find this small hidden building.


The servant led Linley straight into the main hall.


"Lord Duke, Lord Linley is here. "The servant called out respectfully as they reached the door of the main hall.


"Haha, is Linley here?" Dressed in a long black robe, Duke Patterson stepped out of the main hall. Looking at Linley, rays of excitement appeared in the eyes like Duke Patterson's hawk, and he hurriedly walked over. "Linley, come in, quick. ”


The servant respectfully said, "Master Duke, I'll leave then. ”


"Yes, you can go. “Patterson said casually.


The waiter respectfully bowed and turned to leave. But then, the smiling Duke Patterson suddenly shot out his right arm at high speed, sharply piercing through the servant like a knife, from his back to his chest.


"Aah!" The servant incredulously turned his head and looked at Duke Patterson. He really could not understand why the powerful Duke Patterson would bow down to kill someone like him!


Unfortunately, with his heart completely destroyed, in just a few seconds, light blurred from his eyes.


"Lord Duke, this means …?" Linley, to the side, still managed to maintain his composure.


Duke Patterson was a warrior of the seventh rank. For him to kill a servant who had the most being a first or second level warrior was indeed very easy.


From inside his clothes, Duke Patterson took out a handkerchief, using it to clean the blood from his hands. And then, he casually threw it on the ground.


"Linley's. It's okay . I just don't want anyone to know that you and I met. "Duke Patterson chuckles.


Linley looked suspiciously at Duke Patterson. "You don't want anyone to know?"


Duke Patterson nodded confidently. "Don't worry at all. This secret meeting place was arranged by Bernard as per my instructions. Bernard only knew that I would use this place, but he had no idea who I was meeting with. The only servant who knew that we had met was dead now. Thus, no one will know that we have met. ”


Linley made his decision. He stepped into the main hall.


"Duke Patterson's. This seems pretty important. "Linley smiled at Duke Patterson.


Patterson nodded. "Of course . And, I've set the bait. In the eyes of others, I have returned to my land long ago. Aside from Bernard and my housekeeper, I'm afraid you're the only one who knows I'm here. ”


"Feeds?"


"Duke Patterson, what exactly do you want to do, for you to meet with me here so secretly?" Linley asked curiously.


Duke Patterson looked around, then closed the door to the main hall.


"Come on. Let's talk inside. "Pulling Linley's hand, Duke Patterson headed for the room in the main hall. After entering the room, Duke Patterson activated the mechanism. With a grinding sound, the stone walls began to move, revealing a stone passageway.


So inside this secret little building, there was a secret underground chamber as well.


"Linley's. Please come in . "Patterson smiled at Linley.


Linley nodded and stepped in.


The inside of the basement was pitch-black. Patterson lit three candles, then turned to smile at Linley.


“There's nothing to it. Neither my Duke's nobles nor your nobles are a match. There are too many spies in both places. It is not safe . "Duke Patterson took a deep breath.


Linley also knew that his estate was under the constant supervision of the Radiant Church as well as Clayde.


Because this house was given to him by Clayde. The servants also belonged to Clayde. It was quite normal for a place filled with Clayde spies. At the same time, his escort corps belonged to the Radiant Church. To be honest, Linley's actions within his manor were under constant, constant scrutiny from both sides.


"Duke Patterson's. Today, our topic of conversation seems to be quite important. Please, tell me what this is all about. "Linley smiled.


Patterson pulled the magicrystal card from his clothes. "Linley's. There are ten million gold coins on this card. ”


"Ten million gold coins?" Linley waited for Patterson's explanation.


Patterson said helplessly, "Linley, I'll tell you the truth. After my older brother tasked me with the position of Minister of Finance for the kingdom, I had used my authority to accumulate wealth for myself. Up until now, my activities had been perfectly hidden, but this time, the smuggling activities I had with other clans were simply too great. Based on what my sources tell me, my sister .. might already know. ”


Patterson still held it, as he did not reveal that the clan in question was the Debs clan.


“The contraband was on a scale too large? But does this have anything to do with me? "Linley laughed when she saw Patterson.


Patterson hurriedly said, “Of course this has something to do with you. Even though I was King Clayde's younger brother, I knew very well that when he made his move, he never showed any mercy at all. I need to find a way back. After all, over these years, I have done too many things. Once this affair was revealed, many other affairs would be dug up as well. ”


"So .. I want you to speak on my behalf with young master Yale of the Dawson Conglomerate. I know that you're good friends with Yale. ”Smiles appear on Patterson's face.


"Yale?" Linley began to understand Patterson's intentions.


Patterson said helplessly, “In the future, when this event happened, no local power was able to save me from Fenlai City. But the Dawson Conglomerate is definitely one of them. The Kingdom of Fenlai did not dare to offend the Dawson Conglomerate! At the same time, the Radiant Church will not be at odds against the Dawson Conglomerate for a petty corruption scandal. ”


"As long as the Dawson Conglomerate is willing to act, they can easily save me. However, I spoke to the Dawson Conglomerate, and they were unwilling to offend King Clayde on my behalf. "Patterson looked expectantly at Linley.


"Linley, Yale is the son of the Chairman of the Dawson Conglomerate. His words are very influential. Moreover, the Dawson Conglomerate appreciates you quite highly as well. As long as you are willing to help me, there will definitely be no problem. "Duke Patterson pleaded. "If you don't help me, I'll most likely die. I beg you, please help. No one will know that you and I have spoken. ”


"As long as you are willing to save me, these ten million gold coins are yours, Linley. I beg you . Patterson's words were very sincere. His eyes were filled with hope!


Linley laughed.


"Nobody will know?" Linley's smile incandescent.


"really. No one will know. “Patterson quickly nodded. An expression of excitement had already appeared in his eyes.


Suddenly, Linley's body started to change at high speed. Draconic black scales began to emerge from his body, while one black horn grew from his forehead. Both of his hands turned into draconic claws. His pupils also changed from their original color to the dark golden color of the Wyrm Razorback Armor.


"You .." Duke Patterson's face changed. Knowing something was amiss, he hurriedly woke up his own battle-qi, and all of his body muscles began to tighten.


"Swaying sounds!"


The iron-whip tail like Linley slashed through the air with a terrifying howl. Given the timing and speed of Duke Patterson's reaction, he was unable to dodge it, and it landed a ferocious punch on his body.


"FLAG!"


Patterson, a warrior of the seventh rank, was sent flying. Blood was everywhere.


But then in the next moment, a whip-like tail wrapped around Patterson. A bone clattering sound could be heard as Patterson's entire body was tightly bound, preventing him from moving in the slightest. Patterson struggled as much as he could, but his arm was unable to break away from his bond.


Linley controlled the draconic tail to pull Patterson into himself.


Linley was now under full Dragonform. His cold, merciless, dark golden eyes stared straight into Patterson's eyes. A hint of a cruel smile played out about the corner of Linley's lips. "You said.... . No one will know? Ha ha . Thats perfect. I've waited a long time for this opportunity. ”


"You ... you ..." Patterson was really scared dumb by this sudden development.
