The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 186's

Redsand City was a small town, and there were only a few tens of thousands of people inside.

When Linley's group left the boat, they headed straight for the prefectural city of Cerre. On the way there, they stopped at Redsand City, preparing for a short lunch.

In a private room on the second floor of a hotel, Jenne and Keane both smiled happily.

"Haha, tonight, we will reach Cerre City. At that time, we will have fewer problems. “Keane chuckles.

Jenne nodded as well. "Once we reach Cerre, our aunt probably won't openly move against us, right?"

"Jenne, Keane, things aren't going to be as easy as you think. "Linley laughed calmly. “Once we reach Cerre, it will actually be more dangerous. Your so-called aunt is not as timid and fearful as you think. ”

When women decide to be venomous, they can be quite scary.

During his three years in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Linley had encountered all sorts of cruel and ruthless people. Her aunt Jenne was actually able to kill Keane inside Cerre City, and in a way that did not involve her at all.

"really?" Keane's a little scared now. After all, he was a fourteen-year-old boy.

Linley laughed. "But don't worry too much. There is no need for us to hurry to Cerre City this afternoon. Let's take a break at Redsand City. Tomorrow morning, we'll be out. ”

"Tomorrow morning?" Jenne and Keane both looked at Linley.

"If my prophecy is correct, the ones who must have been placed by your aunt in the river have found that we lowered one port early. They should be able to calculate that we will arrive at Cerre City around midnight. Thus ... there is an 80% to 90% chance that they will be waiting for us there, tonight. ”

Linley could easily deduce such a simple strategy.

As long as one could think of things from the other person's point of view, one could easily lead them by the nose.

“Let's rest and recover our strength. Tomorrow morning, we leave. "Linley laughed loudly. “No hurry now. Let's have a good lunch. ”

Jenne and Keane revealed a slight smile on their faces.

…

Indeed, just as Linley had predicted, Apothecary Holmer and his group had headed straight for Cerre City. Madame Wade's people in Cerre City had received this information as well.

The city wall of Cerre.

Madame Wade leaned against the perimeter wall, staring out of the city. Behind him were his two brothers as well as Apothecary Holmer. As for the city guards, they were all scattered at his command.

"Mr . Holmer, I have to trouble you to wait here tonight for a bit. "Mrs Wade turned to look at Holmer, smiling.

Apothecary Holmer knows his own limits.

He is not personally that strong. The most powerful weapon available to him was his poison. Of course, he did not want to offend this evil person in front of him, who was a true power in the city of Cerre.

“Mrs Wade, don't worry. Those brothers would definitely not live until in the city of Cerre. ”

Holmer is very confident. “Even if they have a companion who is ranked ninth, hmph. As long as he hasn't reached Saint-level, I'm confident in my ability to deal with him. But of course .. he can't yet know who I am. ”

If a fighter of the ninth rank recognized him and activated his battle-qi, the battle-qi would be enough to easily repel the poison.

"Mr . Holmer, for many years, you've lived here in Cerre City. You are not someone who likes to show yourself, either. How many people might see you? What's more, I've heard that you, Mr. Holmer, have the ability to change your appearance? ”Mrs Wade laughed as she looked at Holmer.

Holmer laughed happily. Grazing his beard, he said, “Haha. Mrs Wade, change my appearance? You praise me too much. All I did was use medicinal herbs to change the color of my skin and hair. And then a little makeup ..even people who know me, as long as they don't examine me closely, won't be able to recognize me. ”

Madame Wade smiled as she nodded. "Then I left everything in your hands, sir. Holmers. Tonight, I will stay at a nearby hotel and wait for your good news. ”

Holmer laughed confidently.

…

But as time went on, Mrs Wade, who was in the hotel nearest to the city wall, started to get confused. Because soon, the city gates will be closed for tonight.

The Cerre City rule was that at exactly ten o'clock, the gates would be closed.

But Jenne and Keane's group still haven't arrived. According to Madame Wade's information, Jenne's group has arrived in Redsand City at lunchtime. Even if they were to travel slowly, they should have gotten here by now.

Ten o'clock arrives.

The enormous city gate began to slowly close as a large number of guards pushed them. Apothecary Holmer, who had meticulously prepared for this battle, descended from the wall with a stomach full of anger. Madame Wade also walked out of the hotel.

"Mrs Wade, what's going on?" Holmer's really upset right now.

After receiving the news, he ran back from the port to the city. The long, bumpy ride was very sad for this 300-year-old Holmer.

And then, he stood there on the wall for half a night, with a cold wind blowing towards him the entire time.

And now, the city gate is closed. But no one came.

“Who knows what happened to that group of people. I'm afraid they might rest in Redsand City. Mr . Holmer, why don't you rest here at the hotel tonight? Let's see what tomorrow brings. ”Monya Wade is not happy either.

“That's the only option we have right now. ”Holmer is very dissatisfied.

…

The next dawn, just as the city gates opened, Holmer began to quietly await their arrival. At 9 a.m., Holmer was really upset.

Holmer rushed down from the city walls and stormed straight into the second floor of the hotel.

“Mrs Wade. If they don't come to us, I'll go to them. "Say Holmer directly. "Give me some men, at least one of whom recognizes the two siblings. ”

Madame Wade agreed to this idea. "Good . Then I must trouble you, Sir. Holmer, to make this trip. ”

“This time, I really have to give these people a sense of my strength. "Holmer said slowly, his eyes filled with murderous gazes.

After buying a train in Redsand City, Jenne and Keane enter the train, with the old waiter, Lambert, becoming the driver. As for Linley, he rode on the back of the Blackcloud Panther, Haeru.

Haeru's height was over two meters and was extremely wide. The fur is also very soft and smooth.

Riding the Blackcloud Panther, Linley could not feel the bump on the road either. The journey was much more comfortable than a horse or a carriage. Moreover, the Blackcloud Panther running up the mountain was as easy as running on the prairie.

Linley glanced at him. “Don't be impatient. It's only ten o'clock. We will most likely arrive at Cerre City at eleven. ”

The Blackcloud Panther riding Linley was simply amazing. Everyone on the street who saw Linley all stepped aside early on to allow Linley the right way.

"Giddyup, giddyup!"

From far away, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Immediately, the three mounted knights could be seen in the distance, but as soon as they saw Linley, the three of them were frightened and came to a halt.

“Panther is huge. "One of the knights sighed, staring at Linley's black beetle rising.

"Stop staring. Let's move . "Other knight's words.

Right at this moment, a stallion ran past them. This stallion was ridden by a kind-looking old hunchback with pure white hair. The old man's horse's speed was quite slow, and it moved quickly forward.

“Haha, look at him. He was very old, but still riding a horse. Haha .. ”One of the knights laughed out loud.

"Let's go . We have business to attend to. ”

The three knights laughed calmly, continuing their journey. Right at this moment, the hunchbacked old man raised his head to glance at Linley's group. This hunchback immediately understood.

As per the agreement they had arranged earlier, if they encountered a target, the knights would say, “Haha, look at him. He was very old, but still riding a horse. ”More, Holmer also knew that the mysterious expert had a black panther as a pet.

…

"Those three knights had no knight at all. Keane, who had seen all this through the window, said sadly as soon as the three knights left.

But Linley frowned as he stared at the hunchback.

The hunchback rode the horse in a way that really inspired concern. Just from his appearance, one could tell that he was very old. Although the horse did not move too fast, the hunchback continued to sway on the horse's back, as if he could fall at any moment. His legs also did not seem to be too strongly clamped on the horse's back.

Right at this moment, a carriage appeared from behind the old hunchback as well.

“F * ck off, you fart old. "One of the knights cursed loudly. The hunchback immediately whipped his horse, moving it to the side of the road.

"Geeh!"

When the horse was about ten meters away from Linley's group, the old hunchback swayed again and fell off his horse.

"Old grandfather fell!" Keane, seeing this from the window, immediately pushed open the door to get out and help.

But when the old man fell, waves of light blue colored gas emanated from his body. The light blue gas was very thin and light, so much so that if one did not specifically look for it, it would be very difficult to tell the difference.

A wind happened to blow from the east, and it blew the gas straight towards Linley. But of course, the first people affected by the poisonous gas were the people on the train that had just passed by.

"blobs. ”

One by one the knights fell from their horses to the ground, fresh blood coming out of their noses.

"Hmm?" Linley also felt that something on his body looked off, and his head felt a little dizzy.

"Not good . The poison "Applied to the wind, Linley could clearly sense that a light blue poisonous gas was drifting towards him. Now, Linley had already taken those two breaths.

The battle-qi Dragonblood in Linley's body immediately rose up, absorbing all the poisonous gas in Linley's body, with nothing to harm at all.

This toxic gas is a poison specifically designed for use against humans, based on human biology.

But Holmer could never have imagined that Linley was so different, biologically, from ordinary people. Inside his veins was the bloodline of the Dragonblood Warriors, an ancestral lineage that was many times more exalted than the lineage of magical beasts. In the past, even the magicite core of the Razorback Wyrm Armor had been absorbed and consumed by only a small amount of Dragonblood that was in Linley's veins at that time.

A normal person could not imagine or understand the special abilities and attributes of each of the Four Supreme Warriors.

This kind of poisonous gas could not injure a Dragonblood Warrior at all.

"Winds. ”

Based on the mastery of the wind elemental essence given to him by becoming a wind-style magus, Linley immediately controlled the surrounding air to blow the wind backwards. The poisonous gas immediately blew back to the east. Now, the army of knights who were between Holmer and Linley's 'bendback' were all dead.

The poisonous gas blew back towards Holmer, but he did not dodge. He was not afraid of his own poison. But what he was afraid of .. was Linley.

"Giddyup, giddyup!" Holmer suddenly became quite agile, jumping back onto his horse and then sending it running east as fast as possible.

"Haeru. "Said Linley in a cold voice.

"Swoooh. ”

The Blackcloud Panther's speed was extremely fast, many times faster than an ordinary stallion.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed several hundred meters, and completely passed through Holmer, landing in front of him. All that was seen during this movement was a black blur.

Seeing Linley suddenly appear in front of him, Holmer immediately became panicked.

“My friend, I was paid by someone else to do this. If you're willing to forgive me, I'll give you as much gold as you want. “Although Holmer was over three hundred years old, he was not willing to die yet.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Linley still felt afraid.

Fortunately, he managed to react in time and blow the poisonous gas before entering the carriage.

"Toxic gas? Are you a necromancer? "Linley looked at Holmer.

"Necromancers?" Holmer was surprised, then shook his head. "No . I'm a pharmacist. My friend, I am quite rich. Ten thousand gold coins? Twenty thousand? Or maybe a hundred thousand? ”At a time like this, Holmer is still trying to save money.

But Linley could not even be bothered to talk to her.

“Haeru, handle that. ”

Linley jumped the black panther, heading back to the carriage. As for Blackcloud Panther, he revealed his sharp fangs, and then pounced straight towards Holmer.

"ah! One million! Ten million! Ah !!!! ”Before Holmer even finished calling, he had been flattened by a single blow from Blackcloud Panther's massive claws.
