The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 140's

Linley carefully glanced at the room, saying in a low voice, "Your Majesty, for a moment. Let me order the people who are outside. "As he spoke, Linley walked out the door, then barked at the two guards outside. "Both of you, back off. Without my direct order, do not allow anyone to enter this page. ”

"Yes, Mr. Linley. ”

The two guards saluted respectfully, then left. Now, the only ones left in this self-contained courtyard were Linley, Clayde, Merritt, and Ransome.

"Creaac. "Linley quietly closed the door.

"Linley, what kind of secret is this, that you even shut the door?" Clayde laughs.

Linley glanced at Clayde, laughing coldly in his heart. He himself knew that Clayde had already been poisoned by the Bloodrupture poison. Since the Bloodrupture poison did not actually cause any damage to the body, only preventing generations of battle-qi, only after one attempted to produce battle-qi would they find that they had been poisoned.

“This affair is very important. "Linley's face was serious.

At this moment, the Ransome subtly moved closer to Clayde. As the king's personal bodyguard, Ransome began to feel that this environment was rather dangerous. At the same time, Ransome also felt that because Clayde was a warrior of the ninth rank, and he Ransome was a warrior of the eighth rank, with all rights, and he was a warrior of the eighth rank, no one here is capable of being a threat to them.

But people can never be too careful.

"Your Majesty. "Linley looked at Clayde seriously. “My mother left this world when I was young. ”

Clayde. She had investigated Linley's background, and had discovered that Linley's mother had died in childbirth, while giving birth to Linley's younger brother, Wharton.

“I have no memory of receiving motherly love, just about the assertiveness of my father. My father was very cruel to me in terms of warrior training as well as all the education that nobles were expected to have. My father's requirements for me were very high and very strict. ”

Linley looked at Clayde as he spoke slowly.

Clayde was confused. He did not understand what all this had to do with the so-called 'important issue' that Linley had mentioned. But as the ruler of the kingdom, Clayde showed the king's calm demeanor and did not interrupt.

"Your Majesty, I hope you know that my clan, the Baruch clan, is also the Dragonblood Warrior clan. "A slightly proud look was on Linley's face.

"Religion . One of the Four Great Warrior clans, the Dragonblood Warrior clan. This is a famous ancient lineage. Clayde sighed with praise.

Linley shook his head. “We are only famous in the past. My clan has fallen to such an extent that even our ancestral heirlooms have been lost for hundreds of years. Each and every generation of Baruch clan leaders wanted to reclaim this heirloom for centuries, but this never happened. Your Majesty, when I was accepted by the Ernst Institute and left home, did you know what my father said the day I left? "

"What did he say?" Clayde looked at Linley.

"My father said, if in the future I do not bring back the heirloom of our clan ancestors, even in his death, he will not forgive me!" Linley's body trembled slightly.

Clayde, Merritt, and even Ransome all stared in astonishment. Can a father really say such a thing to his son? "Your father is too far away. "Say Clayde.

"No . ”

Linley shook his head solemnly. “I understand my father's wishes. My Dragonblood Warrior Clan has been oppressed for centuries, without a single truly powerful person appearing in all that time. My father understood that I would be the strongest person my clan had produced for centuries. Hundreds of years of hope and desire are all on my shoulders. Tell me, how could my father allow me to fail? ”Clayde started to understand.

"My father's lifelong wish was to bring the 'Slayers' warblade back to the clan. "Linley's voice grew fierce. “In Ernst Institute, I dare not slack off in the slightest. I was trained like crazy. I always remember my father's wishes, my father's instructions! ”

Clayde and the others began to understand Linley's motivation.

“Half a year ago, after I auctioned 'Awakening From the Dream', I went home, and back then, I brought the 'Slayers' warblade with me. "Linley's voice rose to a higher sound color.

Clayde, Ransome, and Merritt were stunned.

Because they all knew that on that trip, Linley had discovered that his father was dead.

“But when I happily returned home, I was greeted by the news of my father's death. Before he died, he had no chance to see the warblade, nor did I have the chance to see my father one last time. Years of hard work, my dream to make my father happy .. unfortunately .. "All the muscles in Linley's face twitched, and his facial expression was very scary to look at.

Clayde and the others could all understand how Linley was feeling.

"Linley, don't be so heartbroken" Clayde urged.

Linley sneered. "But do you know why or how my father died?"

Clayde, Merritt, and Ransome were all shocked.

"My father was killed, Your Majesty, by your brother, Duke Patterson !!!!" Linley's eyes started to turn red.

"What ?!" Clayde stood up in shock. By his side, Merritt and Ransome were both stunned as well.

"Because of that .. I killed Patterson!" Linley's voice was very creepy.

At this point, Ransome was the first to sense that something was terribly wrong in this room. He vigilantly inched closer to Clayde, guarding against Linley's actions. But suddenly, right at this moment, Ransome felt a gust of wind from behind. Ransome, a warrior of the eighth rank, knew that he would not have time to turn his head, so his only option was to swing his arms behind him to defend.

"Interests!"

An extremely painful feeling .. and then, Ransome could no longer sense the existence of her arm. Only now did Ransome notice, from the corner of her eye ….

A mouse-like magical beast, nearly half a meter tall, stood beside him. In addition to noticing the jaws of the blood-soaked rat, Ransome also noticed its sharp claws moving very quickly towards him. At such a close distance, the Ransome had no chance of avoiding it at all.

That's too fast!

"Snick's. ”

Sharp claws cleave the throat of Ransome. Ransome stared in surprise, but gradually, life faded from her eyes.

He really could not understand where this half meter long rodent-type magical beast came from. The first thing he did when entering the room was to scan carefully. He only noticed a small Shadowmouse on the ground that was the size of a man's palm.

Could a palm-sized Shadowmouse be a threat?

And thus, caught completely off guard, this warrior of the eighth rank, Ransome, was easily killed by Shadowmouse, Bebe. Actually, his death was not very unfair. Given Bebe's current strength, even if Ransome was able to fight him openly and fairly, he would still probably not be able to hold on for too long.

"Ransom. "Clayde and Merritt were both shocked.

A majestic warrior of the eighth rank was killed in one action. The two stared in shock at the Shadowmouse. In front of their eyes, Bebe's body shrank, returned to a fist-sized state, then leaped back onto Linley's shoulder.

"Bebe. It was done well . "Linley rubbed Bebe's little head.

Bebe closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling.

Linley turned his head to once again look at Clayde. The cold expression in his eyes made Clayde feel extremely agitated.

"Linley, what do you think you're doing?" Clayde barked coldly. At the same time, he began to activate battle-qi in his body. But at that moment, Clayde suddenly felt that the wide open veins in his body were suddenly stopped by something.

Based on the dense battle-qi that Clayde possessed as a fighter of the ninth rank, in the past his battle-qi flow was as strong and powerful as the devastating waves of the ocean waves. But now, he was only able to forcibly activate a small amount of battle-qi, and sometimes his flow would be completely destroyed. Right now, the amount of battle-qi available to Clayde was probably only one percent of what was normally available to him.

"Your Majesty, don't scream and don't fight. If you refuse, you die. "Said Linley calmly.

Clayde instantly realized what kind of situation he was in now.

Right now, just based on his muscle strength, he might be able to compete with a warrior of the seventh rank. But that little Shadowmouse on Linley's shoulder was able to kill even a warrior of the eighth rank like a Ransome in an instant.

Clayde did not doubt in the slightest that Linley and his little Shadowmouse had the power to kill him in an instant.

"Linley, how dare you! You dare to try to kill His Majesty? ”Reaching in fear, Merritt shouted.

"Shut your mouth . "Linley threw a frozen glance at Merritt.

Merritt's muscle strength isn't that strong. Now that he was completely unable to activate his battle-qi, he could probably be comparable at most to normal warriors of the fourth rank.

Merritt quickly understood the situation as well. Not daring to shout at Linley, he still tried to persuade him. "Linley, you have a great future and a lot of potential. In the future, you will become a high-level official within the Radiant Church, and perhaps one day you will even become the next Holy Emperor. Why should you destroy your future prospects? Linley, I believe that Your Majesty will not blame you for killing Patterson. He brought havoc upon himself when he acted against your father. "When he spoke, Merritt glanced at Clayde.

Clayde nodded as well. "Linley, I'm willing to pretend nothing happened today. As for Patterson, he's dead. ”

"Linley, Your Majesty has spoken. Don't act too rashly. "Merritt hurriedly said.

"Shut your mouth!" Linley suddenly extended his arm.

Like an iron claw, Linley's right hand stretched out and grabbed Merritt by the throat, suddenly lifting him in midair.

"ah! Uh! Uh! "Merritt looked at Linley, terrified, gurgling out his plea.

"Linley's. "Clayde called immediately.

But with a cold laugh, Linley flexed his fingers, and then let his hand relax.

"Crunch!" With a snapping sound, Merritt fell to the floor. He grabbed his throat, only barely managing to let out a 'ah' 'ah' sound'. In the moments before his death, he still could not believe what had happened. He came to visit today with King Clayde, but this was the result.

When he died, Merritt's life began to light up before his eyes. The last thing she thought about .. was a woman.

"If I knew that I would die at Linley's hands, then ... that day .. I shouldn't have let Alice slip through my fingers. "This is the last thought Merritt ever had.

Linley smiled coldly at Clayde.

"Linley, why are you acting against me? I seem to treat you very well. "Clayde looked at Linley, but at this moment, Clayde was hoping for himself:" Snow Lion, take someone, quickly, quickly! "As a soldier of the ninth rank, Clayde had a companion of his own beast.

The Snow Lion was an Ice Snow Lion, an eighth level magical beast that came from far to the north. In general, it will remain in the palace.

Due to the contract binding the souls that bound them, the minds of the Snow Lion and Clayde were linked. Thus, the Snow Lion soon learned that Clayde had been the victim of an ambush. Clayde knows very well that now ..His priority is to delay, delay as long as he can!

“True, you have treated me well! But what about my mom? "Linley stared at Clayde's death.

If not for the fact that in the past, Clayde had ordered the kidnapping of Linley's mother, Linley's father would have stayed alive, and his mother would have been at home as well. His parents are alive! But due to Clayde's actions, he loses both of his parents.

"Mother? Didn't your mother die in childbirth? "Clayde doesn't understand.

"Dead in childbirth?" Linley laughed loudly, his voice wild. And then he looked at Clayde coldly. “That's just the cover story we made. Clayde, after my mother gave birth to my younger brother, my father and he went to the Radiant Temple to pray. But that night, after returning to their hotel, they were attacked and my mother was arrested. ”

"Clayde, could it be that you forgot that twelve years ago, you ordered Patterson to kidnap my mother's abductor?" Linley looked at Clayde coldly. “Do not deny it. Patterson told me everything. ”

"That's .. that's your mother ?!" Clayde was really surprised.

"What, you remember now?" Linley's eyes boiled with anger. "Tell me . What happened to my mother? Tell me, is he alive, or is he dead? ”

Clayde said calmly, “Your mother, I handed it to someone else. You can't afford to offend that guy. I can't either. ”

"Other people?" Linley did not understand at all.

But at the same time, Linley felt a thread of hope in his heart. Someone who even Clayde could not afford to offend had kidnapped his mother. There must be an important reason behind it. Maybe ... his mother is still alive.

Clayde laughed coldly. "But I can tell you one thing. Your mother is dead. Without question, he is dead! "

"No.." Linley stared.

"You don't believe me?" Even though he was in this kind of situation, Clayde started laughing
