Alice felt her heart suddenly shake. A warm feeling suddenly entered his heart, a sensation of gratitude mixed with boundless regret.
"Sister Linley, thank you. Thank you . "Alice couldn't help but repeat herself. Her tears started to sparkle in her eyes. Tears of joy.
Linley smiled. "Back . This afternoon, I will pay a visit to His Majesty in his palace. ”
Linley could feel that now, his heart was very calm when he saw Alice. When she saw Alice, all she saw was a female friend who was on good terms with her. There is no more .
"Good . Thank you . "Alice glanced at Linley once more, then turned her head and left, her mind very complicated.
Initially, Alice was afraid that because in the past, she had hurt Linley, Linley would feel hatred for Kalan, which would cause Linley not to help save Kalan. But Linley's reaction had been completely out of his expectations. Linley was not agitated at all. He's very calm.
Watching Alice return, Linley sat down. Grabbing the fruit, he began to casually eat it. At this moment, Bebe appeared as well.
“Bos, will you help that Alice? If it was me, I would have kicked him a long time ago. Heck, it's enough that you don't just slap him to death with one palm! "Bebe said sadly.
Linley glanced at Bebe. "Bebe, humans are not magical beasts. ”
At this moment, Doehring Cowart flew out of the Coiling Dragon ring. Looking at Linley with a approving look, he said, "Linley, you performed very well. I'm a bit worried that you'll have the child's emotions and drive him away, throwing another rock into the draining well. ”
"Kids' temp?" Linley.
In Doehring Cowart's eyes, such behavior was indeed childlike.
"Religion . Woman, psh. They're everywhere. "Doehring Cowart chuckles.
Linley was silent. He strongly disagrees with Doehring Cowart's view of women, which is somewhat similar to that of Yale and Reynolds.
“Alright, just chat. I need to continue my training. "Linley immediately got up and returned to the Hot Springs Park.
As far as Linley was concerned, Alice was nothing more than a side episode, unable to affect her mood. Right now, the only thing Linley cared about was.
… .
“Your Majesty is studying, working on state affairs. Mr. Linley, please come with me to the study room. "The palace attendant said respectfully.
Linley nodded.
Bebe stood on his shoulders, Linley followed the attendant towards the study. After a while, they finally arrived.
"Your Majesty! Lord Linley has arrived! "The palace attendant called out loudly from outside the door to the study room.
Clayde, who had been engrossed in reading some texts, raised his head. When his tiger-like gaze landed on Linley, his eyes shone excitedly. Laughing loudly, he said, "Linley, hurry, come in. We don't need to stand on so many ceremonies. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty . "Linley laughed faintly as she entered the study. Clayde, in Linley's eyes, was truly a brave, straightforward, and extremely polite man when interacting with Linley, never using his position as a king to try and bully him.
"If it wasn't for my father's death," Linley mused to himself, "Maybe you and I would have been friends. But there will come a day when I will have to kill you. Right now, the only thing lacking from me is opportunity. "Linley never hesitated in his determination to kill Clayde.
Once he had the chance, he would definitely kill him.
Clayde clinked the wine cup with Linley toast, took a sip, then said, "Linley. It is rare that you voluntarily come to visit the palace. What business do you, my Supreme Court Magus, have to discuss with me today? "
Linley laughed.
The Prime Court Magus actually had some responsibilities, but Linley had never done any of them. He allowed other court magi to shoulder many responsibilities, and Clayde never put him under pressure. After all, Linley was only a servant of the Fenlai Kingdom in name. Everything he did .. showed that he, Linley, considered himself to be on Clayde's side.
“It's true I came here today to discuss something. "Linley smiled as she looked at Clayde. "With the Debs clan suspected of smuggling water jade, His Majesty ordered that Kalan and Bernard be arrested, right?"
"It was very . "Clayde frowned as he looked at Linley. "What, you also came to speak on their behalf?"
During this period of time, several nobles came to speak on behalf of the Debs clan. The reason they did this was because the Debs clan had used up their wealth.
"If you really want to save their clan, I can indeed give you face. "Clayde said frankly.
The only thing Clayde really wanted to do was destroy the power structure that his sister Patterson had set up. As for the Debs clan, he would dispose of it as usual. He was actually willing to pardon the Debs clan in exchange for Linley now owed him a favor. After all, even if he forgave the Debs clan, he could also extort it at a hefty price in the process.
"No . "Linley just shook her head. “I have not come to speak on their behalf. ”
"What?" Clayde looked curiously at Linley.
Linley said casually, "Your Majesty, the question of whether the Debs clan is involved in water jade smuggling should naturally be handled in a fair and open manner. ”
"Oh?" Clayde looked at him by asking Linley. "Then Linley, the reason you came today was because …"
Linley laughed. "I thought that it was enough for you to arrest the clan leader, Bernard, because of your suspicion that the Debs clan was involved in water jade smuggling. As for his son, there was no need to catch him. After all, what was the point of seizing a successor? If you take the first, they will still have the second. As long as their clan was not annihilated, one would continue the line. ”
"Linley, you mean say .." Clayde looked at Linley.
Linley looked back at Clayde. "Your Majesty, I hope you can release Kalan. ”
"Oh, let go of Kalan. I heard that you and Kalan …? "Clayde has done a very thorough investigation on Linley. Naturally, he knew about the complicated history between Linley, Kalan, and Alice.
Linley laughed helplessly. “Your Majesty, it's been a long time. ”
"I know . "Linley nodded slightly.
Based on some of the interactions he had with Kalan, Linley had already sensed that Kalan was looking at him with hostility. And ... Linley knew that during the seven-day exhibition of his statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', someone wanted to destroy it.
Destroying a statue was an act that did not benefit anyone.
Aside from Kalan, Linley could not think of anyone else who wanted to destroy 'Awakening From the Dream'.
"Why did you help her?" Clayde continued.
"Your Majesty. Do you believe that a narrow-minded person with limited vision like him is someone I worry about? ”While smiling, Linley looked at Clayde. Clayde blinked, then laughed as well.
"really. In the past, it could be said that you and Kalan were old acquaintances. But now, not only did he not want to befriend you, he even had enmity towards you. His father who keeps trying and befriends you. Compared to his father, Kalan's vision was really very limited. "Clayde laughed loudly.
Clayde patted Linley on the shoulder. "Don't worry. I will instruct Merritt to deal with the case fairly and to investigate everything ama. The Debs will definitely not suffer injustice. But if the Debs clan is truly guilty of water jade smuggling, I will also not let them escape punishment. "" Right. Handle the case fairly. "Linley nodded.
On the way home on the carriage, Bebe lay down on Linley's thigh.
“Wow, Boss, you are so evil. The leader of the Debs clan must be involved in smuggling. Later on, his clan will be finished. Even if Kalan could escape for now, in the future, he would still be in dire straits! "Kata Bebe excited.
Bebe had long wanted to destroy Kalan. Linley shook his head while laughing. “Whether the Debs clan will really be finished or not is difficult to say. For example, they could give most of their clan's wealth directly to King Clayde, and perhaps Clayde would give them a way out. But no matter what, now that they had fallen into Clayde's hands, even if they didn't die, they would lose several layers of skin and flesh. ”
Linley fully understood how dark the world of nobles was. Although on the surface, they talk about dealing with things fairly, it is nothing more than a hoax. "Compared to Clayde, the Debs clan was too weak. "Linley shook her head.
That weak little Kalan was someone that Linley never worried about. Kalan was not even close to being on the same level as Linley. What Linley wanted to overcome was Clayde!
"My lord, we have arrived. "The driver said respectfully.
Linley pushed open the carriage door and stepped out. With a leap, Bebe jumped onto Linley's shoulder again. Just as Linley was about to enter his house, a gatekeeper said respectfully, "God, a guest has just arrived. He is currently in the main hall waiting for you. ”
"A guest? In the main hall? "Linley was suspicious.
Often there would be nobles coming to visit Linley, but without his permission to come, they would all secretly wait outside. Only people of very high status, such as Duke Patterson or King Clayde, or Cardinal Guillermo, headed straight for the main hall, instead of waiting outside.
"Who is that?" Linley could not help but ask.
“There is no clue, but in his hand, he holds the medal of a Cardinal. "The guard said respectfully. As a Knight of the Radiant Church, he was very familiar with the emblems of the Cardinals.
Each cardinal has only one medal. Naturally, some extremely strong recluses had medals as well. The possession of a medal implies a certain status, which states that the position of this person is no less than that of a Cardinal.
"The emblem?" Linley.
Without any hesitation at all, Linley immediately went to the main hall. By the time Linley passed the path and reached the main hall, he was shocked by who he saw.
Inside the main hall was a middle-aged, black-haired man wearing a long and loose robe. Judging from the appearance, he was in his thirties or forties. He gave off a lazy and lazy aura.
When Linley saw this middle-aged man, the middle-aged man seemed to feel it as well. He immediately looked towards Linley, an expression of excitement in his eyes. "Mr Linley, you're coming?"
"Mr Linley?" Linley's mind was filled with questions, but he quickly entered the main hall.
"You .. oh, I remember now. You are the one who bid ten million gold coins. "Linley remembers now. During the auction of the 'Awakening From the Dream' statue, this middle-aged man was the one who bid ten million.
The middle-aged man nodded excitedly. "I don't expect Master Linley to remember me. It makes me very excited. Oh right Let me introduce myself . My name is ... Cesar [Xi'sai]. ”
"Signor?" Linley had never heard of this name before.
"Cesar ?!" Doehring Cowart's voice suddenly sounded in Linley's mind. “I do not imagine that the strange little Cesar would still remain on this plane, on the Yulan continent. ”
Linley.
Grandpa Doehring knows this Cesar? Grandpa Doehring is from a long-lost era! If he knew this man, then how old was this Cesar?
"Linley, this Cesar is really weird. His level of strength increase was extremely fast, and he killed without blinking. When I was alive, he had already entered the Saint level. Although back then, he was only a Saint-level early stage, after five thousand years, based on his level of improvement, he was most likely much stronger now. ”
Linley's heart clenched.
The man in front of him looked only thirty or forty years old, but had actually already become a Saint-level fighter during the Doehring Cowart era. Doehring Cowart only lived for a thousand years before dying, but this Cesar, if accurately calculated, had lived for nearly six thousand years now.
Six thousand year old freak!
"Mr Linley, what's wrong?" Cesar said with concern. “Your face looks a bit unpleasant. ”
"Nothing, Sir. Cesar. Please sit down . "Linley forcibly calmed herself down, but whenever she thought of who this person in front of her was, she couldn't help but be stunned.
A six-thousand-year-old freak, a super-fighter who survived the era of the Pouant Empire to the modern era. He was already a Saint-level warrior back then. And now?
"Mr Linley, I am very amazed by your sculpting skills. Were it not for the fact that Delia, the little girl, begged me, that day I would definitely buy your sculpture. “Cesar pursed his lips as he spoke, but then his eyes lit up. "So, Mr Linley, when will you and that Delia girl get married?"
"Married?"
No matter how shocked Linley had been by Cesar, upon hearing these words, Linley's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he stared at Cesar speechlessly.
