The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 138's

It's gonna be hard!

If it was within the palace, Linley would have to first find an opportunity to use poison, and then both question and kill Clayde within the confines of the palace.

"Even if I wasn't worried about the matter of being found to be a murderer, after killing Clayde, it would be very difficult to escape from the palace. "In Linley's mind, one possibility after another appeared, then discarded.

Linley finally reached a conclusion …

"Using poison inside the palace and then escaping after that was almost impossible. "Linley threw away this possibility completely. After all, there were too many experts in the palace. Only if he used Dragonform could he cut his way out.

But Linley was unwilling to reveal the secret that he could Dragonform.

“It must be outside the palace. "Linley felt her head hurt.

A place outside the palace, where Clayde would be with him alone. The place must be a place that stands alone. It's very difficult. Clayde is king. If one wanted to meet him, they would go alone to the palace.

Linley could not, after all, send someone to the palace and ask King Clayde to come see him.

Linley had never heard of a situation where the subject would ask the ruler to come meet them. This is clearly impossible. Even if Clayde gave him a face and agreed, Clayde would most likely be suspicious and vigilant.

As soon as Clayde is on his guard, the chances for success will be lowered.

“I must find an opportunity to be with him alone in a place outside the palace. "Despite having been in Fenlai City for so long, Linley had never been in a one-on-one situation with Clayde before.

In general, they would only meet at a banquet.

But Linley could not move at the banquet, in front of the audience of countless people, right?

"Do what?"

Linley started to feel annoyed.

Early December. The temperature of Fenlai City suddenly dropped, and the first snow of this winter also came. The entire Fenlai City was covered in white, and the cold bite of air caused many nobles to hide inside their houses, unwilling to venture outside.

Still wearing loose robes, Linley was strolling through the snow-covered streets, escorted by two guards.

“Crunch. Crunches. "Sounds of footsteps in the snow.

The snow-covered city of Fenlai is very charming. At the gates of the noble palaces on each side of Greenleaf Road were countless icicles. The reflected sunlight glittered from them, making them seem even more beautiful to look at.

The towering, snow-covered pine trees in front of the houses looked extremely beautiful as well.

The scene was beautiful.

But Linley's mood was rotten.

“Clayde was already a soldier of the ninth rank. Although advancing from ninth rank to Saint level was extremely difficult, perhaps one day he would suddenly break through. At that time, it would become even more hopeless. "Linley really didn't want to wait anymore.

The earlier he moves against Clayde, the greater his chances of success.

But he needs a chance.

"Bos, look. Many of the nearby castles have been renovated and redecorated. "Bebe's voice sounded in Linley's mind.

While walking down the street, Linley's mind was elsewhere, so naturally he didn't notice. But after hearing Bebe's words, Linley noticed that the manor along Greenleaf Road was now different from before.

"This is .." said Linley asking.

"Close it . Good Now move it a little to the left. ”A servant from a nearby manor was busy hanging various decorations under the instructions of a man nearby.

"That is ... Yulan flowers!" Linley noticed the decorations hanging next to the door and what patterns they had. The pattern looks like a Yulan flower.

Suddenly, Linley understood what was going on.

"Right! It's already December. Yulan Festival is coming soon. And it will be the 10,000th Yulan Festival! ”Linley knows the importance of this Yulan Festival.

Year 10000 of the Yulan calendar, January 1st. It would probably be the most festive day in the history of the Yulan continent. No wonder every noble clan put up so many decorations.

"Interests!"

One of the steps on the stairs where the maid stood while hanging the decoration suddenly broke. The servant lost his footing, shook, and then fell, first banging the stairs, and then slamming to the ground with his head first, his fresh blood staining the red ground.

The servants nearby were all frightened.

"Are you okay?" They all ran forward to help the man.

"A little ... a little dizzy ..." The injured man said in a weak voice. Fortunately, the ladder was not very high, so the power he used to hit the ground was not very good either. That's the only reason he survived.

“Alright, that's enough for you today. Go home and rest. Kohl [Ke'er], go take care of him. Geez, you're not even that tall, but you managed to destroy yourself badly. "The manager shook his head helplessly.

The waiter named Kohl immediately helped prop up the injured maid and started helping her back to her house.

Seeing this, Linley was stunned.

"God ... Mr Linley?" Only now did the manager notice Linley, and he quickly advanced to salute Linley. This palace was the palace of Duke Bonalt, and Linley had come here before. Naturally, this manager recognized Linley.

"Good morning, Mr. Linley," the manager said as he bowed.

Only now did Linley recover from his stupidity. A joyful smile appeared on his face, he looked at the man and chuckled. “Haha, good morning to you too. Haha, all right, time to go home. ”

Excited, Linley immediately turned around, leading his bodyguards back.

"Hey, why is our master so happy?" The two soldiers started chatting with each other in low voices.

They had seen what a foul mood Linley had been in this morning, so what suddenly caused him to be so excited?

“This method is very simple. Why don't I think about it? Haha! "Linley couldn't help but slap her head. He was so obsessed that his brain deteriorated.

Linley had already come up with a surefire method to bring Clayde to visit him. This method is ... receive injury!

“I'll pretend that when I train battle-qi, I suffered some internal injuries by accident. If I get hurt, from what I've seen so far, Clayde will most likely come visit me. ”

“Regarding the status and wealth granted by the Holy Union, I never cared too much. Once I find out what happened to my mother and kill Clayde, I will use the back channel of the Dawson Conglomerate to escape from the Holy Union territory. "Linley has made a firm decision.

The Holy Union did not hold any attractions for Linley.

Currently, his only family member, little Wharton, lives in the O'Brien Empire. There was nothing in the Sacred Union that prevented Linley from leaving.

Killing Clayde in a way that does not arouse suspicion is impossible. Since this was impossible, the only option Linley had was to accept that he had to make a small sacrifice. For Linley, the Sacred Union did not hold any further attractions, after all.

This Linley House. Hot Water Source Park.

Linley sat cross-legged inside the grassy area, cultivating the Dragonblood-qi battle. Like a violent ocean wave, the Dragonblood's battle-qi exploded, colliding with every single blood vessel in his body.

In fact, an average warrior of the seventh rank would not be able to withstand such training. But Linley was different. He drank the blood of a living dragon. Generally speaking, when dragon blood was applied to the outside of one's body, it would gain incredible endurance. But Linley actually drank it into his stomach, which caused all of his blood vessels to also gain an incredible level of endurance.

"Bragh!"

Linley suddenly vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, and his face paled.

"Relish!" A painful and painful roar shot out from Linley's mouth.

Right now, all the female attendants outside the Hot Springs Garden could faintly hear Linley's low roar, and they all rushed to the door, pressing their ears there to listen carefully.

"Lord Linley ... seems to be in a lot of pain?" One of the skinny officers said doubtfully.

"It seems so . ”A fatter officer nodded.

But none of them dared to enter.

"Mr Linley?" The skinny officer exclaimed.

"Come ... login ..." Linley's voice sounded.

The two officers exchanged glances, then immediately pushed the door open and ran inside. But once they arrived at the grassy area, they were both terrified. There was a huge pool of blood on the ground, and Linley collapsed on the ground, his face pale.

“Help me into my room. "Said Linley in a low voice.

"Yes nih . Yes yes . ”

The two female servants were a bit panicked. Each of them helped hold Linley by the arm, they immediately helped Linley get to his private room.

"My master, should we ask the light-style magi to come?" The skinny female officer asked.

"Not needed . My wounds are internal. Magic will not help. I must quietly recover. "Linley took a deep breath, then took a meditative position on the bed, her eyes closed. "You two can go now. ”

"Yes, sir. ”Both maids bowed respectfully and left.

Both light style and water style recovery spells are reparative, allowing physical wounds to heal. But for the damage done to internal organs, they will not help much.

……

In Linley's room. Only he and Yale were present.

"Third brother, you're not hurt?" Yale's distraught. “If you are not injured, why are you pretending to be injured? And asked to meet with me with great urgency. "Even before he pretended to be injured, Linley had sent someone to ask Yale.

Linley said in a low voice, "Board Yale, this affair has something to do with my revenge. Boss Yale. I can tell you now. Clayde was most likely the one who killed my mother. ”

"The one who killed your mother?" Yale stared. "Sister three, you plan to …?"

"really. Revenge . "Linley did not hide anything from his brother.

"Clayde was a soldier of the ninth rank. How will you take revenge on him? And he was the king of the Kingdom of Fenlai as well. "Yale grew panicked with concern for Linley.

Linley said solemnly, "Don't worry. I already have total confidence in my ability to deal with it. However, after I killed Clayde, then even if the Radiant Church saved me and did not kill me, my life would most likely be made miserable. So I have decided that after I kill Clayde, I will leave the Holy Union immediately. ”

"Leave the Holy Union?" Yale was shocked, but then he quickly understood. "really. You should go. Leave this to me. The trade power of our Dawson Conglomerate is spread across every major city in the Holy Union. It would be very easy for us to smuggle someone out of the Holy Union without anyone being wiser. ”

"Moreover, our Dawson Conglomerate also has a major disguise. "Yale is completely confident.

Linley knew very well how powerful the Dawson Conglomerate was. How could one of the three major trade unions in the Yulan continent be underestimated?

"I know . That's why, Boss Yale, I want you to arrange for someone to wait for me at the hotel at the end of Greenleaf Road. When I get there later, you can help arrange for me to be smuggled out of the Holy Union. ”

Linley was very confident that after killing Clayde, he would be able to easily head to this hotel.

"Don't worry . "Yale nodded.

"Third Brother. "Yale frowned, looking at Linley. "You must be Careful . ”

Linley smiled at Yale. "Boss Yale, you must have faith in me. ”

The news that Linley had been injured quickly spread. The first person to receive this news was not the ruler of the Kingdom of Fenlai; it was the Cardinal of the Radiant Church, Guillermo.

But very quickly, King Clayde and the various nobles of Fenlai received news that Linley had suffered injuries during training. Although injuries caused by training were rather rare, they were unheard of before. In general, only someone who trains too hard and exceeds the maximum limit of his body will suffer such injuries, and sometimes even harm the organs. "The only thing to do now is to wait for King Clayde. "Wearing a loose robe, Linley sat on a chair in his room, his face pale.

Bebe was also standing in the nearby chair.

"Mr Linley. "The female officer from outside ran in.

Linley's eyes couldn't help but light up. But then, Linley immediately re-presented himself as 'weak'. Looking at the attendant, he said calmly, “What's wrong. ”

“Lord Cardinal Guillermo has arrived. "The female officer hurriedly said.

"Oh?" Linley's heart was suddenly gripped with worry.

Although Guillermo's visit had been expected, Linley suddenly thought of something ...what if Guillermo was present when King Clayde also came? Then it would be very difficult for him to act against Clayde.

After all, Guillermo was a magus of the ninth rank. The Bloodrupture Poison was used mainly against the soldiers to weaken their strength, and did not have much of an impact on the magi.

"Linley!" Right at this moment, Guillermo's voice sounded from outside the room.
