The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 182

"Move, now!" The old servant, Lambert, reacted quickly as well, immediately urging them to leave.

Completely confused and confused, Jenne and Keane are dragged by Lambert and Linley away from this area. After all, given that people had just been killed on the streets, the city guards would be arriving soon.

Linley was not afraid of the guards, but dealing with the guards while also escorting Jenne was a very annoying task.

Aside from Linley and his group, many other people around them were fleeing and fleeing wildly as well.

It was night time, and it was supposed to be the most crowded time for this main road in Blackrock City, but in the blink of an eye, this part of the road became completely deserted. No one was within a hundred meters of the two corpses.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Sitting next to a window inside a private room in a hotel, two men stared at the scene below. One of them had long red hair, with a face that was as if carved with a knife. But at this moment, he had a sinister look on his face as he listened to his closest subordinates ask him.

“I do not expect the two siblings from this village to have a very strong maid. "The red-haired man said coldly.

"Captain, that guy even has a black panther. Beetles were all high-class magical beasts. For people like us to deal with such a powerful warrior. "A burly man beside the captain said in a soft voice.

The red-haired man was also frustrated.

As per the orders of the Senior Madam, they came to kill these two siblings. Per their intelligence, only this old servant with two hicks threatened. But he was only a warrior of the sixth rank. In O'Brien Empire, which was filled with experts, a warrior of the sixth rank was nothing.

Perhaps in some villages, a warrior of the sixth rank was extremely strong. But the leader of this troop that had been sent out on the orders of senior madame was himself a warrior of the seventh rank.

"Black panther .. why haven't I seen this type of panther before?" The red-haired man frowned. As a level seven expert, he knew quite a bit about magical beasts.

Panther-type magical beasts include Golden Tattooed Panther, Blackstripe Panther, and others.

But this black panther with wavy black stripes was something he had never seen before.

"The brown-haired man was clearly the master of this black panther. At least, he was a warrior of the eighth rank. "The red-haired man thought back to the scene of Linley suddenly snatching an arrow from the air, and as he did so, he shivered.

The arrow moves at a very high speed.

To be able to react and immediately move in front of Jenne and Keane, and then snatch those two arrows from the air was something that not even most warriors of the eighth rank could do.

"Captain?" The burly man next to her asked slowly.

The red-haired man turned to look at him. In a cold voice, he said, “Hmph. The brown-haired man was very strong. For this mission, we cannot fight them directly. Arrange for some people to watch over them secretly. I refuse to believe that experts will not eat or sleep. He couldn't always be with those two siblings. ”

"Once the brown-haired man and the two are separated, immediately tell our men to kill both of them. "The red-haired man issued his order.

"Yes, Captain!" The burly man nodded and immediately left the room.

The red-haired man looked back, once again staring down through the window. The two bodies were still lying on the road with arrows piercing their throats. The city guards posted earlier were rushing over.

……

On the second floor of an ordinary hotel in Blackstone City, Linley, Jenne, Keane, and Lambert were seated in private rooms. Even Bebe had his own chair. As for Haeru, he lay on the ground, his eyes satisfied half-closed.

At the moment, Jenne and Keane's faces were still a bit pale.

“Just now. "Keane's eyes are still filled with terror.

Ever since he was young, Keane had been living in the village. The most violent struggle he had ever seen was only a few youths who were involved in serious fights with each other. How could he experience something like what he had just seen?

Although on the street here, they suffered from bandit attacks, the bandits fought against the mercenaries, and had yet to hurt them. But this time, the opponent had come for his life and the life of his sister.

Jenne's eyes were filled with a hint of fear as well.

“Jenne, Keane, don't be afraid. "Linley laughed as she comforted them.

For Linley, a small event like this could not even affect his mood at all. In the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, he was constantly on guard as ferocious beasts were hiding for him.

And thus, within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Linley learned how to keep his heart as calm as water, no matter what. How could a small event like this bother him?

“Young master, young lady. "Lambert is entertaining too. "We're fine now. Don'worry. Fortunately, we have Lord Ley with us today. Otherwise, everything would be terrible. Young master, young miss, you really should thank Lord Ley. ”

Only now did Jenne and Keane recover from their panic.

"Sister Ley, we really owe our thanks this time. "Keane said with gratitude, and his eyes shone. "Sister Ley, just now, you waved and snatched the two arrows from the air, and then with another wave. “Keane is a kid. In his excitement, he completely forgot his fear.

Jenne looked thankfully at Linley as well. “Thank you, brother Ley. ”

Towards Linley, Jenne felt gratitude from the bottom of her heart.

It was the first time he saw Linley, Jenne felt that he was an expert, a powerful mysterious, extraordinary person who commanded a mighty magical beast as well.

In particular, when Linley had agreed to escort and protect them, he had only taken one gold coin. Although Linley said that he would round up another 9999 when Keane became the city's governor, Jenne, being an eighteen-year-old adult, knew when someone was acting out of kindness.

“No need thank you. I've agreed to protect you. It's nothing more than what I should have done. "Linley frowned. “What happened? As soon as you entered Blackrock City, people tried to kill you? Who really offended you? ”

Keane was immediately confused.

Jenne was confused too. "I'm .. I haven't offended anyone. ”

"Then who's hostile to you two?" Linley continued to ask.

Jenne was silent for a moment, then said, “True, if we talk about hostility, maybe the only one hostile to us is my aunt. ”Just at this moment, the old waiter, Lambert, immediately cut off their conversation. Laughing at Linley, he said, "We have no enemies. Her aunt was just at odds with them, that's all. Mr. Ley, there's no need to worry about these annoying things. Let's all eat. ”

Linley glanced at Lambert, then laughed and nodded. "All right, let's all eat. ”

But Linley did not say these things openly.

……

That very night, the two siblings, Lambert, and Linley each retired to their own rooms. They have booked a private villa that stands alone.

Darkness descends.

Linley's room was completely dark. Linley sat cross-legged on his bed, his heart completely calm as he silently aligned with the pulse of the world and the flow of wind.

Sometimes, when Linley had some insight, he would get up and casually swing his heavy sword.

…

"squeaking. ”Wearing her nightgown and her long hair unraveling, Jenne walks towards her old butler's room, Lambert. "Grandfather Lambert, are you asleep?"

The door opened very quickly.

"Miss, hurry, come in. "Lambert immediately opened the door for Jenne, then closed it after Jenne entered her room.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Ask Lambert.

Jenne looked at Lambert. "Grandfather Lambert, tell me. Why would someone want to kill me and my brother? Is that my aunt? "

"Why do you think that?" Lambert's heart trembled.

Jenne said stubbornly, “Grandfather Lambert, don't treat me like a child. On the day my younger brother and I left the village, I thought we would return happily when we took over the position of city governor. But now, I understand. Auntie and her people didn't allow us to take over the position. The people who tried to kill us are now clearly acting on his behalf. I can't think of anyone else. ”

Lambert looked at Jenne and let out a long sigh.

"OK, miss. I'll admit, your suspicions are correct. "Said Lambert resigned.

Jenne starting.

"So it's really .." murmured Jenne.

Jenne saw Lambert. "Grandfather Lambert, why didn't you tell me and my little brother from the beginning?"

"Related . "Lambert shook his head. “What's the point? Even on her deathbed, your mother could not let go of this grievance. He insisted that you and your little brother go take over the position of governor. I know that with your temperament, you will not go against your dying Mother's wishes. ”

"really. I will carry it out, even if it sacrifices my life. "Jenne nodded stubbornly.

“Because this is the case, it is better to let the two of you travel happily. In addition, I am also trying to find a way to protect you both. If we do not meet Lord Ley, I will come up with other ideas here in Blackrock City, thus allowing the two of you to reach Cerre City safely. "Lambert said honestly.

Living in the village, Jenne and Keane's lives are completely unhappy.

The nobles of the village all wanted Jenne's beauty, while Keane was also frequently bullied. Even if Jenne and Keane knew how dangerous this trip was, they would still make this trip.

After all, once Keane became governor, his destiny would change completely.

"Grandfather Lambert, will this journey be very dangerous?" Jenne had a very complex expression on her face.

Lambert let out a long breath. "Initially, I didn't think it would be too dangerous, but now, it seems like your aunt really decided to become a demon. He's set up assassins as far away as Blackrock City. Most likely, the road to Cerre City would be extremely dangerous. ”

"Then, Grandpa Lambert, why don't you explain clearly to big brother Ley?" Jenne looked at Lambert.

"We can't. "Lambert shook his head. "After your father died, your aunt completely took complete control of Cerre City. He had several experts under his control. If you openly ask your big brother Ley to fight against the forces that control the prefecture city, I'm afraid he won't do it for the sake of you and your big brother. Anyway, it's very dangerous. ”

The real power that controlled the prefecture city had an astonishing amount of power.

Such a power should have several fighters of the eighth rank. Of course, a fighter of rank nine was not very likely. Even someone would be astounding. After all, warriors of the ninth rank usually served the managing clan of the entire Administrative Province, or the Emperor himself. To serve the prefectural city governor.

However, assassins did not have to rely solely on brute strength. Poison, traps ... All of this is possible.

"Very dangerous?" Jenne paused for a moment. “Lambert grandfather, rest up. "When she spoke, Jenne left Lambert's room.

But after leaving Lambert's room, Jenne did not immediately return to her room. Instead ... he headed towards Linley.

“Tap, tap, tap. "Three knocks on the door.

"Please enter . "Linley's voice rang out, while a lantern was lit inside the room.

Jenne pushed the door open and entered.

Linley left his bed and sat down in his chair. Smiling, she said, “Nona Jenne, it's too late. Is there something you need? "

“Sister Ley. "Jenne sits. Taking a deep breath, he gathered all his courage and said to Linley, "Sister Ley, I have to tell you something. ”

"What's that?" Linley looked at Jenne.

Jenne said apologetically, "Actually, Keane and I have been living in the village all this time, and it's been a long time since we've seen our father. We are not at all familiar with Cerre City, and we may not be successful in our efforts to take over the post of city governor. ”

Jenne is really a very compassionate girl. Knowing how dangerous it was, he decided that he did not want Linley to suffer from this risk with them.

"Oh. "Linley just said this in response.

But in his heart, Linley sighed to himself. This Jenne is really a pure and innocent girl.

Seeing Linley's reaction, Jenne thought that Linley did not understand. He hastily explained, “Ley's brother, initially, with regard to taking over the governorship, I thought that whether we would succeed, or we would fail and go home. But it doesn't seem like it's going to be that simple. There are people out to kill us, and most likely, they were sent by our aunt. In the future, he will probably resort to more sinister means against us. If you stay by our side, it will be dangerous for you as well. ”
