The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episodes 158

Doehring Cowart was temporarily speechless by Linley's question.

"Linley, I have to tell you, if a weapon has only a small amount of adamantine mixture into it, the durability of the weapon will increase to a very high level. If a weapon was made entirely of adamantine, even if you gave it to a Saint-level fighter and let him try to destroy it, he would not be able to scratch it, no matter how long he tried. ”

Doehring Cowart is very resigned.

Linley clearly did not fully appreciate how valuable the adamantine was.

"Then, Grandpa Doehring, can I use this adamantine to forge 'heavy swords'?" After listening to Doehring Cowart previously explain the benefits of using heavy weapons, Linley wanted to obtain a heavy sword by himself. Originally, Linley was planning to spend money and buy a good one. But now that he had this 'adamantine', of course he had to use it well.

Currently, Linley was not short of money.

"Forging a heavy sword with adamantine? A heavy sword was rather large, and it would most likely require this piece of adamantine to be mixed with some other metal. But of course, I myself know nothing about blacksmithing. However, I have heard that forging weapons from adamantine is very difficult. Adamantine is tough. Most weapons experts were unable to melt and re-tidy it. "Doehring Cowart chuckles.

Linley nodded to himself.

Adamantine was a material that even God-level fighters considered difficult to destroy. But since adamantine could be forged into a weapon, there must of course be a special technique to it. Only, the technique might be too difficult.

"course . "Linley nodded.

…

Linley and Second Prince Shaq continued to accelerate north, and the further north they went, the less rare the magical beast became. After traveling another three or four hundred kilometers without a single magical beast appearing, they reached an area where the local towns and cities had no dead people.

But these villages and towns were extremely sparsely populated. Most likely, people were afraid of danger and had moved north as well.

"Haha, good, it looks like the Hess Kingdom has not fallen. "Shaq laughed loudly. “It's been a few days. We can finally rest. ”

Shaq looked at Linley.

Sitting on his horse, Linley looked as sturdy and unshakable as an old oak tree, not wavering in the slightest, looking extremely stable. His face was calm, and he was silent, giving him a reliable and discreet aura. Towards Linley, Shaq had always felt a hint of fear. Although he was several years older than Linley, he had always respectfully referred to Linley as 'Master Linley'.

"Mr Linley, look. It was a military camp up ahead. "Shaq and Linley went up side by side.

Linley nodded.

The Radiant Church had clearly decided to create a defensive line here at the border of the Hess Kingdom. Looking at the countless military camps that were marching on the border, one could tell how many soldiers had been deployed here.

“Two kingdoms and five nobles are missing. That's about one-third of the territory of the Holy Union. I hope the Radiant Church does not want to retreat any further. "Linley laughs. Linley and the knights made their way through the guarded gap, and were quickly allowed to enter.

This guarded pass was to defend against magical beasts.

Naturally, no human would be denied entry.

"Second Prince, will we rest here?" Linley looked very calm.

“Hess City is one of the agreed places that my dad and I occupy. We still had about three hundred kilometers before arriving at Hess City. If we hurry, we should be able to get there at night. “Kata Shaq off guard.

"Hess City!"

Linley memorized this name. "Clayde's. Hess City will be where you die. ”

……

They continue their journey. Linley, Shaq, and the thirty mounted knights kicked a trail of dust behind them. By the time Linley and Shaq saw the city of Hess, the sun had just set, throwing a red light onto the earth.

“Hess City, capital of the Kingdom of Hess. It was only slightly smaller than Fenlai City. "Seeing the silhouette of the great city wall, Linley couldn't help but be amazed.

How much power does it take to build a giant wall?

Arriving at the gate to Hess City, Linley and his troops found their way forbidden.

"Down!" A gatekeeper of Hess City commanded in a loud voice.

"Why should we go down?" Shaq shouted back angrily.

The gatekeeper saw that Shaq's group was clearly an extraordinary group, and thus answered the question. "His Majesty has ordered that horses not be ridden within the confines of the City of Hess. Everyone, the current Hess City was filled with people. There is not enough room to ride a horse. It's better if you all go down. ”

"Let's get off. "Linley smiled at Shaq.

Shaq nodded.

Linley and Shaq could both imagine that many people had fled here from the two ruined kingdoms and the six ruined duchies. Most likely many people living near the City of Hess also fled here. Both kingdoms and six dukes had a combined population of hundreds of millions.

Even if 90% had died, millions would have survived. And of course, there were no sightings of magical beasts within hundreds of kilometers of the Hess Kingdom, so almost everyone who lived in the area survived.

"So many people . ”

Stepping into Hess City, Linley and Shaq and the knights were all shocked. Hess City usually could only accommodate at most one million people. But by Linley's calculations, there were currently at least several million people within the city, as every road was clogged. Even in the city of Fenlai, Linley had never seen anything like this.

“Go find a hotel first, then come back here to pick me up. ”Shaq immediately ordered his men to book a hotel suite.

"Lord Linley, let's have dinner first. "Say Shaq said with a laugh, and of course Linley would not refuse. Shaq immediately led Linley and the others to a nearby restaurant. The bottom floor of the restaurant is full, but there is still a dining room available upstairs.

"Three rooms. "Say Shaq generously.

But when they sat down and Shaq saw the price on the menu, he was somewhat flabbergasted. Shaq grabbed the nearest servant and shouted furiously, “Do you consider me an idiot? At a price like this, a plate of dishes would cost several thousand gold coins. You are trying to deceive me! "

Although this restaurant was a high-end restaurant, Shaq, as a prince, naturally visited many high-end restaurants.

For a restaurant of this class, a hundred gold coins a table was generally more than enough.

"My lord, if you don't want to eat, you can go. "The waiter looked very confident. “Currently, Hess City is filled with many people, including countless nobles who fled here with their valuables. All of them demand high quality service and are willing to pay for it. ”

Shaq was immediately stunned by these words.

"Hmphs. ”

Shaq snorted, but still gave the order in the end. After Shaq and Linley finished eating their food …

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince. “People who went looking for a hotel are back.

"And? Did you find a place? "Ask Shaq.

The guard shook his head. “All rooms in major hotels have been booked. Even though we only went to the five big hotels, we already knew this would not work. There are too many people trying to make reservations. Your Majesty, we arrived late in Hess City. The clan members belonging to the five dukes and the Hanmu Kingdom arrived faster than us. ”

Shaq nodded.

"Sit down and eat first. "Shaq turned to look at the other guard, who was short blonde. “You're full? If you do, help me find a house and buy it. I hope the price here at Hess City will be quite high, but no matter how pricy it is, just buy it. But remember; do not buy something that is too flashy and too big. This noble house will only be a temporary lodging place for me and my royal father. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. "The guard admitted, and then went to find the manor's house.

Linley quietly drank his wine, watching everything.

“Lord house? I wonder which manor. When Clayde comes, he will most likely head to that house as well. "By finding out where Clayde would stay, all he needed to do was wait. When there's a chance, he'll send Clayde to his death.

……

Hess city. Very common house on Keyan Road.

Under normal conditions, a castle in Hess City like this that was not located in the center of the city would generally be worth two or three hundred thousand gold coins. But Prince Shaq had to pay a million gold coins just to buy it. A large number of nobles and kings had entered Hess City, causing inflation to skyrocket.

That night .

Linley also stayed in this house for the time being.

“Clayde was, after he came, supposed to stay in one of these two or three rooms. "Linley was walking in the middle of the house, carefully examining the internal layout. He made preparations to kill Clayde in the future.

The night breeze was cool and refreshing, but Linley ignored it, only paying attention to the location and layout of each part of this manor.

"Lord Linley, why haven't you rested yet?" The charming concubine said to Linley in a soft voice, standing in the doorway to her room.

“It turns out being in my room is too stuffy. I thought I was gonna get some fresh air. "Linley answered casually.

“I also feel a bit stuffy. "The concubine walked out of her room towards Linley. His coquettish gaze only made Linley feel worried, and he immediately said, "Then Royal Consort, you should get some fresh air. I'll go back to my room and rest now. "After he spoke, Linley immediately left.

Watching Linley leave, the empress could not help but let out a hint of displeasure.

…

The next morning .

"Second Prince, Empress, Princess. I have a few things to take care of, so I'll leave now. "Linley said goodbye.

"Lord Linley, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wait for my royal father to return first, then decide. “Shaq immediately tried to convince him to stay.

Linley laughed coldly inside. "Wait for your royal father? If Clayde sees that I live here, I may have to openly attack and kill him. The chances of killing him openly were lower than killing him. "Linley already had quite a few setbacks.

This time, Linley wanted to be absolutely certain of success.

“This time, I have to endure and be patient. I will wait for the moment when Clayde and Kaiser are not together. When Clayde's alone, I'm gonna kill him. That's gonna work. "Linley knew that as long as Kaiser was there, he wouldn't be able to kill Clayde so quickly.

But as long as Kaiser was absent, he would definitely succeed.

"Then where did you go, Mr Linley?" Ask Shaq.

"I plan to leave Hess City and continue north. As for where exactly, I'm not sure yet. "Linley airwaves. "Good . Second Prince, Royal Empress, Princess. I said goodbye. ”

Bowing slightly, Linley led Bebe away from the palace.

……

That very night, Linley moved into a small courtyard on the same street as Shaq's house. The house Shaq bought took up a lot of space, convenient enough to accommodate thirty people. But the house Linley bought was very small, only enough for three or four people.

This small courtyard still cost Linley 50,000 gold coins. In normal times, a few thousand coins would suffice.

"Ah Da, Ah Er, did you see anyone new to the house?" Linley sat at the dining table as he asked these two people.

"No . ”

Linley had casually taken these two people off the streets to be employed by him. Currently, in Hess City, there were many commoners as well as nobles. After fleeing here, those commoners had no food to eat and no place to stay. All they could do was beg or do some rough work. Thus, it was easy for Linley to find people working for him. The salary of two gold coins each day, including food and food, was an opportunity that these poor refugees would fight for.

Linley saw that these two men seemed to be the reliable kind, and had chosen them.

"In the evening, you can sleep, but during the day, take good care. As long as there are strangers entering the manor, especially in large numbers, you should let me know. Pay special attention to men who have only one hand. "Linley repeated her instructions.

There is no need to be on guard at night, as the gates to Hess City are forbidden to close at night.

And Linley was sure that with two people watching during the day, as long as Clayde's people arrived, he would definitely know about it. Shaq and his people believed that Linley had actually left the city, but in reality, Linley continued his watch from the courtyard very close to them.

"Clayde, I'll stay here as long as it takes. Let's see how long you got here. "Linley stared coldly.

Seeing the look on Linley's face, the two brothers shuddered.

"Go. "Linley's Government.

"Yes, sir. ”
