Nimitz, Kalan's two uncles, Kalan himself, Rowling, and Alice dare not sit down with their absent host. They were just waiting quietly in the main hall.
"When Lord Linley returns, you should remember to be a little more humble. "Nimitz stared coldly at Kalan.
Kalan nodded. "Second Grandpa, I know. ”
In reality, Kalan's heart was still filled with hostility towards Linley. After knowing the reason why he was released from prison, he felt even more furious at Linley!
"I'd rather stay in that prison than have Alice go beg him!" Kalan's heart was filled with anger.
In the past, when Linley and Alice were together, Kalan started to hate Linley. After he took back Alice, he felt a bit arrogant. In his eyes, although Linley was quite formidable, when compared to his Debs clan, Linley was not even close to being on the same level. But after only a few months, Linley's status had completely changed, becoming the brightest star within the Fenlai Kingdom in a single leap. Even His Majesty King Fenlai, and the Cardinal of the Radiant Church, treated Linley with warmth. Even his own father was acting very humble towards Linley. All this filled Kalan's heart with even greater hatred.
They're both young men. Why is he so low?
Especially at this time!
He's in jail. Although she eventually escaped, it required Alice, the woman she loved most, to go beg Linley to release her.
This caused Kalan to feel humiliated. He desperately wanted to not accept Linley's kindness and continue living in that prison. How he wished he could angrily curse Linley, or even kill Linley!
But for the sake of the clan, he, Kalan, had come humbly to this Linley house, and could not even act in the slightest disrespectfully.
Footsteps can be heard.
Kalan immediately put away his anger reflection. Forcing a smile to his face, he made himself seem polite and courteous.
"I'm sorry for making everyone wait. "Linley's clear voice sounded.
Nimitz and the others turned to look. Obviously, Linley had just washed. Her hair was wet, and she was casually wearing a loose robe.
“You can all sit. "Linley sat down comfortably, gesturing casually with one hand.
Nimitz and the others quickly expressed their gratitude, then sat down. Nimitz was the first to smile and said, "Master Linley, the purpose of our visit this time is to say thank you. If it wasn't for you, Kalan most likely wouldn't have been able to get out this fast. Kalan, hurry up and thank God Linley! "
Kalan had to get up again. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he forced himself to act humbly. "Thank you, Mr. Linley. ”
Linley smiled at Kalan. "Pulp. No need to thank me. ”
"Mr . Nimitz. Very briefly, I had to attend to some important affairs. Don't know if you have any other purpose behind this visit? If yes, I hope you can talk about it now. "Linley smiled towards Nimitz.
Actually, Linley just did not want to waste time with these people. The time is meant to be reserved for training.
Nimitz was shocked, but then he quickly adjusted. In a low voice, he said, "Master Linley, our Debs clan has been framed and accused of water jade smuggling. At this point, it is highly likely that our Debs clan will be completely eradicated. Thus, our clan wishes to ask you, Lord Linley, for your help. Once our clan overcomes this critical threat, we will definitely not forget your kindness to us. ”
As he spoke, Nimitz took out a black box from his side.
"Lord Linley, this is a very small gift from us to you as our thanks for your rescue of Kalan. If our clan manages to survive this tribulation, we will once again show our gratitude to you. "Nimitz sincerely held out a black box for Linley to take a look.
“Desir. ”
The little Shadowmouse, Bebe, suddenly rushed in front of Nimitz, and actually directly grabbed the box, then jumped at Linley's feet, planning to open it.
"Bebe!" Linley shouted low.
Bebe raised his head, looking at Linley sadly. He did not open the box, only let out a few 'hmph' sounds, then fell silent.
"Mr . Nimitz, Bebe is rather naughty and mischievous. I'll accept this gift, then, and thank you. "Laughter, Linley put the black box to one side, not even glancing at it.
Nimitz could sense that Linley was getting impatient.
Immediately, Nimitz glanced at his companions meaningfully, then was the first to stand up and bow. "Lord Linley, we won't bother you any further. This case involving our Debs clan will be tried a month from now. I hope that at that time, you can help us, God. ”
Linley casually nodded.
Nimitz and the others left immediately. All that time, neither Alice nor Rowling said a word. Nimitz is the keynote speaker.
Watching the group leave, Linley laughed coldly. "Nimitz, you're old. Do you think that by bringing Alice in, I'll give you more face? "Linley opened the cover to the black box. Inside were magicrystal cards and letters.
"A letter?"
As he toyed with the letter in his hand, a burst of flames suddenly erupted from his palm, burning and turning it into ashes. Linley could not bother reading the letter.
Time passes quickly. September arrives.
This entire past month, Linley had been focused on his training. His strength, agility, and other aspects of his body had improved. The battle of Dragonblood-qi in his dantian had also become purer.
Linley had a feeling that he had reached the final stage of the sixth rank.
As far as his growth in spiritual energy was concerned, even though Linley's rate of progress was extremely fast, even a genius would usually require around twenty years of training to rise from seventh rank to eighth rank. In addition to its rapid progress, its several months of growth are not very visible.
The path of magus was indeed long, difficult.
Inside the Hot Springs Garden, a chisel shadow could be seen, and the human-shaped statue became increasingly clear. Scraps of debris flew in all directions, falling onto the grass. Suddenly, Linley came to a halt, pulling his chisel.
“Wah Finally Finished . "Looking at the statue in front of him, Linley nodded in satisfaction.
The statue in front of him was as tall as someone.
Those two cold and calm eyes specifically gave people the sensation of being watched by a god. The aura emanating from this statue was the aura of the Death God. Under the gaze of this statue, the spectators would subconsciously feel a terrible and cold fear.
“Although this statue is not comparable to 'Awakening From the Dream', it is the most perfect sculpture I can make while under normal circumstances. "Linley was very satisfied with this statue. He had spent an entire month there, carefully, sculpting with ama. Finally, done.
Putting down his straight chisel, Linley was briefly soaked in hot springs, then put on a loose robe and sat on a chair. He was eating breakfast brought by his servant.
"Linley's. "Doehring Cowart flew by his side.
“Kakek Doehring's. "Linley looked at Doehring Cowart.
Laughing, Doehring Cowart said, "Linley, there are two more days before the trial of the Debs clan case. Are you planning to go watch? "
"The court?" Linley.
This month, he was engrossed in his bitter training. Linley completely forgot about everything else, including the case of the Debs clan. If not for Doehring Cowart's reminder, Linley probably wouldn't have remembered it at all.
“Yes, of course I'll go. "A little smile was on Linley's face.
Year 9999 of the Yulan calendar. September 9th. Inside the Blackwater Prison in Fenlai City.
Blackwater Prison was the most famous prison in Fenlai Kingdom, and it was the safest guarded prison. The cases awaiting trial in Blackwater Prison were also the most important cases in Fenlai.
Inside the courtyard of the Blackwater Prison, today there were many nobles gathered. Even His Majesty, King Clayde, had arrived, and was sitting by the side, watching. Naturally, Linley came today as well.
"Mr Linley. "One nobleman after another greeted him warmly.
"Linley, come on, sit with me. "Sitting in front, Clayde pointed towards Linley. Linley smiled at Clayde, then walked over.
Linley sat next to Clayde.
Merritt, her hair shiny, sat in the judge's seat. His waist and back are straight. He really gave the impression of being fair and impartial. “Everything, please sit down. Merritt nodded and smiled towards the noble spectators who had gathered here. In particular, Merritt smiled politely towards Linley and Clayde.
All the glorious spectators sat quietly. Today, more than ten people came from the Debs clan. They all sat together, nervously watching the course of the event.
"Bring Bernard. "Merritt ordered straight away.
Immediately, under escort by two soldiers, Bernard was dragged to court, his hands and feet both shackled.
Merritt glanced at a nearby official, who quickly stepped forward. In a loud voice, he declared, “Duke Patterson, when he was Minister of Finance, acted in many ways against the interests of the kingdom. In particular, he was suspected of colluding with the Debs clan in the smuggling of water jade. The scale of this smuggling operation is greater than it has been since the founding of our Fenlai Kingdom. We have found that the contraband water jade appraisal was over fifty million gold coins! "
In reality, the Debs clan had just started their smuggling program. Although the appraisal was fifty million gold coins, in reality, the Debs clan had only spent several million gold coins so far. From this, one could tell what great profit there was in the smuggling trade.
But just when their smuggling activities had begun, Duke Patterson had died, leading to this being revealed.
The official continued, “Based on our investigation, one of the main organizers of this smuggling activity jumped into the river, while the other two were the brothers Lanseer and Langmuir. ”
Finished, the official sat down.
Merritt looked at Bernard. "Bernard, do you have anything to say for yourself?"
Bernard nodded. "Yes, sir, I know. First of all, it is not our Debs clan that is involved in smuggling. Secondly, the Lanseer brothers have been driven out by our clan a long time ago. Third, the prime mover behind this smuggling operation should be the one you say jumped into the river. There is no link to our Debs clan at all. ”
Merritt nodded and laughed. “The organizer of this smuggling operation is your third brother. And you're saying this has nothing to do with you? "
"Third brother? My third sister is still adventuring in the wild. How did he have the opportunity to get involved in smuggling? ”Bernard continues to insist on this.
"Your third brother's involved in the adventure?" Merritt's face turned cold. "Then let me ask you, is your third brother out on an adventure, then why, even though I ordered your Debs clan to call him back, didn't he come back after a long period of time?"
Bernard said confidently, “My third brother is adventuring in another kingdom. Most likely, he was traveling too far. It's normal for us to take more than a year to find it. ”
Merritt glanced at Bernard, chuckled, then said coldly, "Bring Catson [Ka'te'sen] and the other two. ”
"Catson?" Bernard suspects. Who's Catson and who's the other two? "
Not long after, three extremely frightened youths entered the court, immediately kneeling as they said respectfully, “Salam, God. ”
These three young men were clearly farmers who had seen very little of the previous world.
Merritt said calmly, “Catson, explain what you saw happening. ”
"Yes, God. ”The youth leaders said with great respect. “On June 28th, we three brooches were fishing in the river, but suddenly, we saw a well-dressed noble clutching a dead tree floating near us. This nobleman was covered in blood and had already fainted. ”
Upon hearing these words, Bernard's facial expression changed.
“The day we chased down the smuggler's leader was June 28 as well. When that happened, the leader jumped into the river. Merritt looked at Bernard. "Bernard, do you want to plead guilty?"
“My third brother is adventuring in a distant land. He clearly did not organize smuggling activities. My Debs clan is definitely innocent. Bernard still raised his head high and maintained his innocence.
Merritt laughed coldly, then said, “Bring Kanter [Kan'te] Debs. ”
Hearing the name 'Canter Debs', the faces of Bernard as well as the Debs clan members present all immediately turned white.
