The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 2

The Dragonblood Warrior Clan In the blink of an eye, another half year had passed. Training hard and strengthening his body, Linley went through a gentle and warm spring, a scorching summer, and a cold autumn. The white poplar tree next to the empty training field of Wushan will always spread some dried leaves to the ground whenever the wind blows. The leaves slowly rotated, covering the entire training ground.

The sky slowly became dark.

Today, there were a large number of people in the training grounds, nearly three hundred.

“Today's evening training session ends now. "Hillman smiles. “However, before leaving, everyone needs to congratulate first the next children's plant that will leave Wushan and join the army. ”

With the end of autumn comes the season of military recruitment. With the entire continent engaged in an age of warfare, each child is seen as a mighty warrior as a badge of honor. Sure, there were also those who wanted to become a witch, but becoming a witch was a very difficult task. Perhaps only one in ten thousand had the necessary qualifications to become a magician. With very low probability, the average person would not even consider it.

Being a fighter is much easier. After turning sixteen, provided they were at least fighters of the first rank, they could easily enter the army.

"Uncle Hillman, thank you!"

One hundred and twenty-six children, all seventeen years old, respectfully bowed towards Hillman. These young people usually do not attend training. They all become adults, and have their own jobs to do. But since they had all been trained by Hillman since they were toddlers, they all considered Hillman to be their kind-hearted master.

Before joining the army, they all came here to say goodbye to Hillman.

Gazing at this vibrant and vibrant seventeen-year-old age group, Hillman was filled with countless mixed feelings. This was because Hillman knew that all these children were eager to join the army, but after ten years of military service, how many of them would come back to life?

"I hope that at least half of this one hundred and twenty-six will be able to return alive" Hillman prayed inwardly.

Hillman looked at the children, and said in a clear voice, “Child, listen up! You're all men in Wushan city. The people of Wushan city should straighten their chests and welcome every challenge, and not accept fear. Do I understand? "

All the seventeen-year-old youths straightened their chests, their bodies straight. Their eyes were filled with a hot spirit for military life, they all replied in unison, "Understanding!"

"Good!" Hillman stood straight as well. His cold gaze was filled with a military aura.

"Tomorrow, you're all leaving. Tonight, be well prepared. I know how strong you all are. You will all be able to easily enter the army! I, Hillman, will be waiting for you all here to return resplendently to the city of Wushan! ”Hillman said in a bright voice.

The eyes of the young men were shining brightly.

Return home with respect. This is the dream of every young man.

“Now, I order you all, go home immediately and start your preparations. Dump it! ”Hillman said in a cold and fierce voice.

"Yes sir!"

One hundred and twenty-six young men saluted respectfully, and then left. They were followed by the worshipping gazes of the nearly two hundred remaining youths. Tomorrow, they will begin a new journey.

“I have two more years. When I became an adult, I also wanted to join the army. ”

“I really want to live the life of a fun and pounding soldier. If I have to stay here all my life, in the city of Wushan, even if I live forever, it is useless. ”

… .

A group of thirteen-year-old children were chatting with each other. They all long for that joyful life, a life filled with passion. They all want to collect rewards and build a reputation. They want to be adored by the girls and the appreciation of their relatives.

This is their dream!

"Linley, your father, Lord Hogg, has some very important business with you. Don't play games with other kids. Come home with me. "Hillman walked over to Linley's side. Looking at him, Hillman felt very proud.

Linley was very clever. Under the supervision of his father, Hogg, from a young age, he had learned many words and could read most books.

Reading is a very fancy thing. Usually, only the rods of noble houses could be read. The Baruch clan was a very old clan, and held many books.

"Uncle Hillman, I already know. My master's father has reminded me three times. My master's father has never been so urgent about anything. I will not go and play. "Linley grinned, revealing her pearly white teeth, perfect but due to the fact that something was missing.

Linley had already started to grow permanent teeth.

"Enough . You lose one of your front teeth. When you smile, you let the wind in. Hillman laughs. "Go, gohome. ”

… .

In the ancient forecourt of Baruch castle, after the family finished dinner, Linley was playing around with his sister.

"Sister, hug, hug!"

Little Wharton looked at Linley with a pure and simple look of love. Walking unsteadily, he extended a small, fat hand towards Linley, trying to hug him. Linley stood not too far away, quietly waiting for little Wharton to contact him.

"Wharton, you can do it!" Linley.

Looking at her baby sister, Linley's heart was filled with boundless warmth and love.

No mothers, no grandparents. Although he had his father and a family nanny to take care of him, Linley, who had grown up earlier, loved and protected his younger brother greatly. In Linley's eyes, as an older brother, it was his duty to take care of his younger brother.

"Wharton, what did you learn today?" Linley asked, smiling.

Wharton frowned, a very funny expression. After pondering, he happily said, "Today I learned about using cloth!"

"Reg?" Linley's face revealed an uncontrollable smile. "What are you cleaning?"

Relying on his fingers, little Wharton said, “First I used a cloth to wipe the floor, then pot the toilet room, and last I wiped! "He looked excitedly at Linley, waiting for Linley's praise.

"You wipe the room pot, and then wipe the plate?" Linley's eyes were big.

“What, did I do it wrong? I really cleaned it. "In Wharton's petite head, his eyes were filled with an incomprehensible look as he stared at his brother.

"Young master Linley, your father is looking for you. Let me bring young master Wharton. "A brandy-nosed old man walked over. This brandy-nosed old man is the housekeeper of the Baruch clan, Hiri (Xi'li). In the entire manor, aside from the housekeeper, there was not even a girl serving.

Linley no longer had time to chat with Wharton. He immediately handed Wharton over to Grandpa Hiri, and went to the guest hall.

"I wonder why you called me?" Even though he was young, Linley could sense that this time, his father was calling him for something important.

Entering the living room, in one corner there was a table clock higher than Linley's height.

This desk clock can be considered a high quality object. In general, only wealthy or noble families had such clocks. At this moment, Linley's father was sitting next to the fireplace. The fire in the fireplace lit up, constantly crackling and popping.

"imm? Why did you change clothes? "Looking at his father, Linley was filled with astonishment. While at home, his father usually only wore very simple clothes. At dinner, his father was wearing normal clothes. But now, she had switched to a set of extremely noble and beautiful clothes.

Hogg's entire body exuded an ancient and noble aura. That aura was not the kind of money one could buy. It was something cultivated by an ancient noble clan in its heir. A clan that survived for five thousand years. How could ordinary noble clans compare?

Hogg stand. Turning around, when he saw Linley, his eyes lit up.

"Linley, come with me. Let's go to the ancestral hall. Uncle Hiri, you know about the matters of my clan, so you can come as well. "Hogg smiled.

"Encestral hall?" Linley.

The members of the Baruch clan only lived on the front side of the palace. The areas at the end, no one went to clean up. Only the ancestral hall at the back had they visited, once a month, to clean up.

“But this is not the time to sacrifice to our ancestors. Why are we going to the ancestral hall? "Linley has a lot of questions.

Out of the living room, Hogg, Linley, and Uncle Hiri, who were still holding Wharton, followed the blue stone path towards the back castle.

The deep autumn. The night was cold as water.

A cold wind blew, Linley could not help but shiver. But Linley did not make a sound, as he could sense something different today. Following his father, Linley entered the ancestral hall as well.

"Clack's. "The door to the ancestral hall is closed.

With the candles in the hall lit up, the entire hall immediately became extremely bright. Linley could immediately see many spirit tablets placed at the very front of the hall. That group of thick and dense spirit tablets spoke volumes about the age of the Baruch clan.

Hogg quietly stood in front of the spirit tablet, not saying a word.

Linley was very nervous. In the entire hall, aside from the whispering sounds of candles, no sound was heard. The silence was frightening, creating an oppressive feeling in the heart.

Suddenly, Hogg turned around and focused his gaze on Linley. In a heavy voice, he said, "Linley, today, there are many things to do. But first, let me tell you some history of our Baruch clan. ”

Linley could feel his heart pounding in panic.

“History of our clan? Whatisit? ”In his heart, Linley was very curious, but he did not dare to make a sound.

A look of pride appeared on his face, Hogg said in a clear voice, "Linley, our Baruch clan has been around for five thousand years. Even scanning the entire Fenlai Kingdom, I can't believe we can find a second clan that is as old as us. "Hogg's voice contains absolute pride.

Old fashioned. This was a word that was viewed by some noble clans with great importance.

"Linley, have you heard of the legendary Four Supreme Warriors of the Yulan continent?" Turning his head around, Hogg looked at Linley.

Eyes bright, Linley nodded. "I know . According to Uncle Hillman, the legendary Four Supreme Warriors were the Dragonblood Warrior, the Violetflame Warrior, the Tigerstriped Warrior, and the Immortal Warrior. ”

Satisfied, Hogg nodded. With a smile, he said, “True! Now, I'll tell you something. The Four Supreme Warriors actually represented the four ancient clans. And our Baruch clan is an ancient clan that contains the grand bloodline of Dragonblood Warriors! ”
