There had been no trace of Linley in more than three years. It was impossible for the Heidens to relate this affair to Linley. Moreover, even if he thought of Linley, he would not think that Linley had the ability to kill six experts of the ninth rank.
Unfortunately…
Heidens had no idea that Linley had grown, growing at a faster pace than he feared.
In a secluded restaurant in the provincial capital of Basil.
Linley sat alone, with Bebe being his only friend. They drink occasionally.
“Come. "Linley called the waiter.
"Is there anything you need, sir?" The waiter was very polite.
Linley casually threw away the three gold pieces. "Let me ask you. If I am satisfied with your answer, these three pieces of gold are yours. ”The annual salary of this waiter is only about four gold pieces. His eyes immediately lit up with greed.
"Sir, please ask. I know a few things in this province. "The servant said confidently.
In a place like this restaurant, all kinds of people would come and visit. The waiter will hear a lot and know a lot as well.
"I want to ask, is there an old man named 'Perry' in this city of Basil? Her hair was white, and she should look somewhat dignified. "Linley whispered in the servant's ear.
The waiter immediately let out a confident laugh, and then, very carefully, lowered his voice in response. "You must be referring to Count Perry. ”
"Count Perry?"
Linley's eyes lit up.
The waiter nodded. “In the provincial capital of Basil, there is only one noble named Perry who is quite famous. And this Perry is, indeed, an old man, so old that his hair is white. Not wrong anymore. ”
"Oh. "Linley nodded. "Do you know where Count Perry's manor house is?"
The waiter nodded. "Of course . Count Perry lives on Huating Road, the third residence from the right. ”
“If you come with me, I will add three more gold coins. "Say Linley.
After all, Linley was worried that he might get lost by himself. Better take the waiter with him. This way, at least he would not get lost completely.
Watching Linley take out another three gold coins, the servant immediately became excited. "Good . Sir, please wait a minute. I'll talk to the boss first. ”
If he did nothing that day, at worst he would be deducted from his one-day salary. But by following Linley, he would be paid three gold coins.
The provincial capital of Basil. Huating Street.
Linley stared from afar at an ancient looking manor. Judging from its rotting walls and wrapped in vines, this castle is at least several centuries old.
"Count Perry, a very nice person?"
Linley sneered.
'The 'excellent friend' this servant described was the overseer of the affairs of the Radiant Church in the Northwest Administrative Province. The O'Brien Empire was very antagonistic towards foreign religions. If Perry is found, he will definitely be found guilty of a serious crime, punished by confiscating his belongings and his clan exterminated.
Memorizing that address, Linley immediately turned around and left.
But what Linley did not notice was a man looking at him in wonder from a distance. "here? He actually showed up here? ”The man was amazed.
"Md. It's been three years. I didn't expect to find him here. Looks like I will receive that five thousand gold coins prize. “The man was very happy.
Walking on the streets, Linley did not see any ordinary commoners who were not particularly strong. Naturally, he would not pay attention to ordinary warriors who were only of the third rank.
Inside the courtyard of the residence behind his hotel.
Zassler sat under a large tree in the courtyard. Seeing Linley enter, he laughed. "How did it go? Did you find Perry's guy? "
"discovered it. He is even a Count. His position is not too low. "Say Linley.
A person who is capable of being the overseer of affairs for a province is definitely not an incapable person. He could be a rich king or a powerful noble.
“Haha, very good. Then tonight, let's .. visit. Zassler laughed sinisterly, his eyes emitting a hint of green light.
Linley nodded calmly.
“Rebecca, Leena. "Linley raised her head to look at the two twins who had just walked from the main hall. “Tonight, you two should stay here. Don't go anywhere. ”
"understandable. "Rebecca and Leena both nodded.
Zassler laughed at the twins. “Do as I have taught you, and enter a meditative trance. In a few days, I will start starting the 'Necromantic Initiation Rite' for both of you. ”
After being with them for some time, Zassler decided that these two twins were perfect for studying Necromantic Magic.
In fact, the seven normal magic elements (earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, darkness) all had quite high requirements with regards to spiritual energy. But the high-level arts of Orculital Magic, Life Magic, and Necromantic Magic, had extremely high requirements when it came to souls.
Of these three types of magic, Necromantic Magic has the highest requirements with regards to spiritual purity and soul analysis. Relatively speaking, it did not have many requirements with regards to the affinity of the elemental essence.
"Necromantic Initiation Rite?"
Rebecca and Leena were both excited. Throughout this time, they hoped to take revenge for their parents, but they had no power. But after studying Necromantic Magic, they would have sufficient strength.
That night .
"Haeru. Protect Rebecca and Leena. "Linley instructed.
To deal with a small figure like Perry was a very simple task. Linley and Zassler would be more than enough. With Bebe present as well, there would be no chance of failing at all.
"Be careful . "Said Rebecca and Leena.
Zassler laughed strangely. "At Basil, aside from McKenzie, there's no one that Linley or I need to worry about. ”
"Let's go . "Said Linley calmly.
Both dressed in black, Linley and Zassler very quickly slipped out of the courtyard. The black-haired Bebe also quietly followed the two, with no one being the wiser.
In the dark night, Linley, Zassler, and Bebe walked in the alley.
Gazing at this ancient building, Zassler and Linley exchanged glances.
“Zassler, you have to be sure. "Linley had never seen Count Perry before.
"Don't worry. "Zassler's lips curled up in a dark smile.
Linley led Zassler forward as they leapt straight through the wall. With regards to how residences were generally laid out, Linley and Zassler both had a good general idea. Usually in the front is the main hall, while the second building in the back is where the owner will sleep.
But Zassler stopped in front of the second building as he began muttering magic spells.
A few moments later …
Grey smoke began to slowly drift towards the building. In a short period of time, the entire second building was covered by a gray fog. The mist continued to spread until it covered every building in the residence. Watching this happen, Linley was confused.
Linley took a sniff of the gray fog. When he did, he felt dizzy for a moment, but then immediately recovered.
"What are you doing?" Said Linley softly.
"I'm just making weaker people sleep here. After reaching the seventh rank, one could use battle-qi to ward off this fog. Perry is a fighter of the eighth rank. “Zassler knows exactly how strong Perry is.
"Who is this?!"
An angry roar could be heard, as an old man and three middle-aged men ran out of the room. The leader stared coldly at Linley and Zassler. But due to the gray fog, as well as the fact that it was late at night, they could not see the appearance of Linley or Zassler.
"Lord Count's. ”Three more voices sounded from the courtyard, as two middle-aged men and a young man ran over.
The prince had seven experts in his residence; five of the seventh rank, two of the eighth rank.
"Who are you?" Count Perry barked.
"Heh heh heh. Oh, Perry's. You've forgotten me? ”Zassler slowly walked forward, while two strong, golden-haired zombies appeared out of nowhere.
The mist began to thin, and Count Perry could now see it clearly.
"That's you . "The count of Perry's eyes glared from its sockets. He knows exactly how strong Zassler is. Even five or six experts of the ninth rank would not be able to do anything to him.
Seeing Zassler appear, Perry understands that most likely, Lampson and his men are indeed deadlocked.
"And you?" Count Perry looked at Linley. Suddenly, he began.
Linley's appearance had long since been distributed to every single one of the Radiant Church's overseers in a foreign location. Compared to three years ago, Linley's hair was now a little longer, yes, but his face didn't change much.
"You are Linley?" Perry was a little surprised.
Linley smiled and nodded. “Count Perry, good eyesight. Zassler and I have a few things that we would like to discuss with you on this wonderful night. Zassler, let's move. ”
"Kill. "Zassler barked immediately.
Two golden-haired zombies suddenly turned into rays of golden light, attacking the other six men. A sudden scream of agony could be heard, as the zombies killed the three of them in the blink of an eye, causing the other three to turn pale with fear.
"ABout. "The young man was slashed with a sword on the body of the golden-feathered zombie, but the only effect was that his hand was broken from the impact. The golden-haired zombies prided themselves on their defensive abilities.
"Groooooowls. "With a low growl, the golden-haired zombie handed the young man's head with a single blow.
"Bang!"
A middle-aged man kicked a nearby rock viciously, sending a large piece of rock towards the golden-furred zombie. But the zombies just accused him, as fast as lightning. Those pieces of stone continued to fly at high speed in the zombies. "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" One stone after another crashed into the golden-furred zombie, and it did not get in the way at all.
Each stone contained thousands of pounds of strength, but unfortunately, they did nothing to the golden-furred zombies.
"Slashwas. ”
A black blur flashed, and the middle-aged man fell to the floor in astonishment.
"You're too slow, you idiot. "Bebe snarled towards the golden-haired zombie, then jumped back onto Linley's shoulder.
The speed of the golden-haired zombie could be considered the speed of a normal fighter of the ninth rank. But compared to Bebe, there was a huge difference. After all, Bebe and Haeru were magical beasts of the ninth rank that specialized in speed.
The six of them had been killed by two golden-feathered zombies and Bebe in the blink of an eye. After all, that zombie was the undead of the ninth rank. Those people had no chance against them.
Perry quietly maintained his composure the entire time.
When he was chosen as the overseer for this region by the Radiant Church, he had mentally prepared for such a day. Merely, what he expected was that he would be killed by the forces of the O'Brien Empire. He did not expect that it would be Linley and Zassler who killed him.
"Linley, you're the one who killed Lampson's men and saved Zassler?" Perry asked. Before he died, Perry wanted to indulge his curiosity.
"Indeed . "Jawab Linley brief.
Perry nodded and laughed. "You really live up to the name of being one of the descendants of the Dragonblood Warrior clan. In three years, your strength has grown so much. Hope you don't expect to get anything from me. I'm not going to answer your question. ”A little holy light appeared on Perry's face.
"Do you think it will be useful to you?" Zassler grinned.
"Capture her. "Zassler orders coldly.
Two golden-haired zombies attack Perry at high speed, capturing him without giving him a chance to dodge.
"Linley, help me stay alert for a while. I'll 'Soulscour' him. Zassler instructed Linley.
Linley.
Soulscour's? Linley had never heard of anyone who could 'Soulscour' someone. Even the Radiant Church did not have the ability to search and explore one's soul. But necromancers, as practitioners of the most soul-involving type of magic, naturally know far more about the soul than all other types of magi.
"Soulscour?" Hearing this word, Perry was also shocked. "Cannot be. "He had never heard of the 'Soulscour' technique'.
"Ha ha . Even if you die now, it's too late. ”
Zassler walked in front of Perry. His five wrinkled fingers, like chicken claws gripped Perry's head, while at the same time, Zassler's eyes suddenly turned a deep green color.
"Uhhhh .. ahhhhh …. ”The body of Perry began to tremble violently, while at the same time, he began to let out groans of pain.
