The Sovereign Dragon Ring
Episode 266's



Emperor Johann could not help but frown at Linley's attitude. No matter what, he was still the Emperor of the O'Brien Empire.


"Emperor Johann!" Linley's voice grew deeper, and his eyes pierced Emperor Johann.


Emperor Johann suddenly sensed that he was sinking into a cold and dark abyss. Linley's gaze made it somewhat difficult for him to breathe. Emperor Johann's throat clenched, and he managed to say, “Master Linley, what does this mean? Do you not trust us? "


By her side, Delia maintained her silence.


Linley looked at Emperor Johann. In a deep voice, he said, “Emperor Johann, not because I don't believe you. Reynolds is a close friend of mine. Suddenly, you told me that he died in battle? Tell me ... how could I not want to try and figure out the truth of the matter? "


"The truth of the matter?"


Emperor Johann stood up straight and said angrily, "Master Linley, could it be that we are not telling the truth? Let Us tell you once more, Reynolds is chased and killed by the forces of the Rohault Empire into the walls of Neil City, where he dies in battle. No questions about this! "


"Neil City?" Linley's eyes couldn't help but narrow. "Emperor Johann, if Reynolds had escaped to Neil City's walls, how could many of Neil City's soldiers not be able to save Reynolds?"


Emperor Johann hesitated, but then said firmly, “At that time, we were not there. However, according to what We have learned, just as Reynolds arrived at Neil City's wall, he was killed before the city's soldiers had a chance to save him. ”


His fourth brother has died!


Linley did not want to believe that. When he had interrogated Emperor Johann, the scenes and memories of the time he had spent with his Fourth Bro came floating uncontrollably into his mind, causing the extremely bad feeling Linley had in his heart to grow stronger.


Emperor Johann could sense that Linley's mood was changing. The aura of the surroundings became extremely oppressive. Giant beads of sweat appeared on Emperor Johann's forehead, but he just stared at Linley.


No matter what, he could not open his mouth and spill the truth. He must insist that Reynolds' death has been lost in battle, and the town's Neil warriors have no chance of saving him.


Linley closed his eyes, forcing a demonic feeling in his heart. He sighed.


When his eyes opened, his eyes shone like lightning. Under Linley's gaze, Emperor Johann felt an overwhelming psychological pressure. As an ordinary warrior, how could his spiritual energy compare to an Arch Magus of the ninth rank like Linley?


"Emperor Johann, you have to understand, maybe what you told me was true. But can you guarantee that the person who brought you this information is also telling the truth? "Linley's voice was very low.


Emperor Johann nodded without hesitation, saying resolutely, "Linley, you must trust Us. ”


Linley glanced at Emperor Johann, then said calmly, "Emperor Johann, I'm in no mood today. I'm going home. Let my little brother and Nina know. ”


Despite his sweaty forehead, Emperor Johann was still smiling. "Mr Linley, We can completely understand your feelings. Mr. Linley, go home and rest. We will definitely tell Wharton and Nina. ”


Linley nodded, then left the imperial palace with Delia.


Watching Linley leave, Emperor Johann finally heaved a sigh of relief. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he quietly said to himself, "Gosh, lying in front of Linley is really scary. If Linley had released his anger, there was no one here who could stop him. ”


After calming down, Emperor Johann once again summoned his majestic smile to his face and returned to the main hall.


Linley and Delia walked shoulder to shoulder on Boulder Street. On his way back from the imperial palace, Linley had been silent the entire time. Next to her, Delia could feel how much pain Linley was in


After a while, Delia said softly, "Linley. ”


Linley was startled out of his daydream with this voice. After escaping from his memories for a moment, he looked at Delia. "What's wrong?" Delia said in a soft and comforting voice, "Are you thinking about Reynolds?"


Linley nodded gently. “Delia, in my heart, Boss Yale, Second Bro, and Fourth Bro are like true brothers to me. I never even considered the possibility that Fourth Bro would die in battle. "Although she was calm when saying these words, Delia noticed that Linley's eyes had reddened.


Despite being a tenacious person, Linley's eyes were moist. One could imagine how much pain he was.


Even if he did not actively think about past events, the memories of his youth swam to him unhindered. He still remembered how the four of them drank together and played together, laughing merrily. He still remembered how, in their dormitory, they were chatting about the girls in the Institute. At the time, both Reynolds and Yale were very excited. Thinking back to Reynolds' sloppy, lazy demeanor, Linley could not help but feel even more miserable.


They've arrived at Count Wharton's house.


"Sir. "The gatekeeper said respectfully.


After staring at the estate, Linley then turned his head towards Delia. "Delia, you can come back now. ”


"Where are you going?" Delia asked questioningly. In a hurry, he said, "Linley, please don't do anything. "Delia knew that given Linley's current condition, it was possible that he could cause some sort of disaster.


Linley shook his head. "No, I'm just going to Reynolds' house .. Dunstan clan!"


The Dunstan clan was also one of the oldest clans of the O'Brien Empire. In the army, the Dunstan clan had an enormous influence.


The Dunstan clan was located not far from the imperial palace.


Using the Windshadow spell, Linley surged gracefully like the wind itself through the streets of the city. Before most people even had a chance to notice Linley, he would have already moved a hundred meters past them.


"Buddy, I told you to be careful and not to upset Madam. Jeeze .. "Two guards of the Dunstan clan are talking to each other. One of them laughed at the other.


The other guard took care of her face, which had bright red fingerprints on it.


“I didn't do anything to upset him! It's just that, when Madam arrived, I didn't move far enough, so Madam yelled at me and slapped me. Fucking man . Very unfair . ”


“Do not complain about fair or unfair. Young master Reynolds has just died in battle. Whoever made the Madam angry is now asking for death. ”


The two guards chatted leisurely, but suddenly, with a gust of wind, a human figure appeared before the gate towards the palace of the Dunstan clan.


The two guards were surprised.


"May I ask who you are, sir?" One of the guards said.


"Mr Linley?" The two guards exchanged glances, astonished in their eyes.


What kind of person is Linley? He was one of the most powerful experts in the entire Yulan continent, on a level with Holy Emperor or Haydson.


The two guards immediately bowed deeply.


"Mr Linley, please wait a moment. I'll go make a report soon. "One of the guards immediately ran at high speed inside the palace. Linley quietly waited outside the gate, standing as straight and as stiff as a spear.


Shortly after, three middle-aged men ran at high speed. The third leader was the leader of the Dunstan clan, and Reynolds' father: Neon [Ni'en] Dunstan.


Neon Dunstan, upon learning that Linley had come, immediately ran to greet him.


They knew that today was Wharton's grand wedding day with Nina. But due to Reynolds' death, the Dunstan clan was greatly distressed, which is why the Dunstan clan did not attend Wharton and Nina's wedding banquet.


"Is this Master Linley?"


Neon Dunstan was spying on Linley from afar. Linley was an important figure of the world. Neon could sense a glimpse of Linley's amazing presence.


It's a kind of spiritual pressure.


When experts were trained to a certain level, their spirits and souls would change. Saint-level experts, even if their clothes were in tatters, would generally appear much more noble than most nobles.


Linley turned his head and saw Neon and the other two arrive.


As his electric gaze swept across the three men, they all sighed deeply before warmly saying the words of welcome. The clan leader, Neon, was the first to speak. "Mr Linley, if there's something you need, you can send someone for us. I'll come to talk to you. There is no need to trouble you to come alone, Mr. Linley. ”


Linley did not mince words, immediately heading to the Dunstan clan's estate. He passed through the three people and headed straight inside.


Neon Dunstan and the others were puzzled, but they soon followed suit.


Given Linley's understanding of the wind, he only needed a thought to activate the Windscout spell, allowing him to 'see' everything within a few kilometers. As Linley walked into the main hall of the Dunstan clan, he saw that many people were already crowding there. They are all men.


“Greetings to Master Linley. "All the men bowed respectfully to him.


Linley was forced to smile, then said, "Everyone, there's no need to be so polite. I imagine everyone here knows why I came today. ”


Neon Dunstan and the others exchanged glances. They were all stunned for quite a while.


“Reynolds is dead. "Linley's gaze swept over the surrounding people, his voice deepening. “Reynolds is one of my best friends. We're as close as real brothers! ”


This Linley voice filled the entire hall with a stifling aura.


“Right now, all I want to know is, how exactly did Fourth Bro die? Was it really because the so-called 'reason' of the Neil City soldiers could not save him in time, resulting in him dying in battle! "Linley's gaze stopped on Neon Dunstan.


Neon Dunstan took a deep breath. "Linley, Reynolds is my son. I was in so much pain over his death. But there's nothing to it. In war, people will die. The Dunstan Clan couldn't kick up a huge commotion and commotion just because my son died. The Dunstan clan was a military clan. The initial reason why we decided long ago to have every single son serve for ten years in the military was to ensure that they were all mentally prepared to die in service to their country. If they could not get angry like steel, how could they be useful? "


"I understand this . ”


Linley looked calmly at Neon Dunstan. “Sacrificing a life for the sake of one's homeland is nothing to be ashamed of. But ... For some reason, I feel the death of Reynolds in front of Neil City's walls is something I find hard to believe. Could Neil City not have any experts? Isn't it easy for them to just jump down the city walls and save them? "


"Uncle Neon!" Linley stared fixedly at Neon Dunstan. "You must understand . My brother is dead. If he had died in splendor in battle, I would only feel proud of him! But if he dies of a meaningless death, or dies for some other reason, then I definitely have to know everything there is to know about what happened to my dear brother! ”


“If his death involves some other person who deliberately caused my sister to die? Then I will make them die too !!! "Linley's eyes were like daggers.


Neon and the others all felt their hearts tremble.


"Uncle Neon!" The manner in which Linley had handled it had caused Neo's heart to tremble as well.


"Tell me . Your child . My brother . Did he die an unjust death, a meaningless death? "Linley looked at Neon Dunstan, waiting for his answer.


An extremely complicated look was on Neon Dunstan's face, but he stared directly at Linley and replied firmly, "Mr Linley, thank you very much. However, my son died brilliantly in battle. His death was not an unjust death !!! ”


Linley swept across everyone's faces with his gaze.


"Then I say goodbye. "Linley turned around and immediately left the Dunstan clan.


Watching Linley leave, Neon Dunstan and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. Neon Dunstan immediately ordered in a bright voice, "Everything, back to your usual business. ”


After speaking, Neon Dunstan immediately left the main room and returned to his study.


"Reynolds .. forgive your father!" As he walked, Neon's eyes turned red.


Given the influence and power that the Dunstan clan had within the military, they certainly knew exactly what had happened. Neo's son had been fighting with the enemy for some time on Neil's City wall before being killed. But Prince Julin personally ordered that no one open the city gates and save them.


His death was unfair!


Neo's heart was filled with bitter tears. "Mr Linley might kill Prince Julin to avenge you. But His Majesty the Emperor was very fond of Prince Julin. Although he would not dare to take revenge against Lord Linley, he would definitely do so against the Dunstan clan. ”


There's nothing to it!


If someone dies, he dies. They must act for the living!
