"The Fourth Bro isn't dead?" Stunned, Linley said these words, but then he immediately came to himself. "Did you just say that Reynolds wasn't dead?"
Right now, Linley's heart was pounding. Shock, excitement, worry, disbelief, excitement, fear .. All sorts of emotions were mixed in Linley's chest. Right now, the only thing Linley could do was gaze expectantly at the military officer of the Spiritault Empire in front of him.
Holding his throat, Hugh frantically said in fear, “That's true. He's not dead. He really didn't die. ”
"Hugh, when you reported your military success, didn't you say that the senior captain you captured is dead?" The commander of the nearby legion army, Chastre, frowned.
Lying to a Saint is stupid. Chastre thinks that Hugh may have concocted a lie out of fear.
Linley looked at Hugh as well. He really hopes Hugh doesn't lie.
"Speak now . "Linley looked at Hugh. Everyone in the army camp was now muddled staring at Hugh. Hugh straightened his body, then hurriedly explained, "Master Linley, I really don't lie. Back then, when I found the body of the senior captain, that of Reynolds, I brought the body myself. But after that, I discovered that this 'corpse' suddenly moved. Only then did I realize that he was not dead! "
Linley's heart stiffened.
An awkward expression appeared on Hugh's face. "Mr Linley, this Reynolds is very handsome, and he is a noble and precious magus. Based on the magic he used when my comrades and I chased after him, it was most likely that he was a magus of the seventh rank. The handsome young magus of the seventh rank was extremely valuable in the slave market. ”
Hearing this, Linley immediately understood.
The surrounding military officers all understood as well. In wartime, there were often many slaves sold to slave trade organizations. Soldiers were often on good terms with these organizations, and a handsome young magus of the seventh rank would definitely become a valuable commodity.
The magus of the seventh rank was a tall and mighty figure.
Making magus like this into a slave was something that some noble ladies really liked. They would be willing to pay a large sum of money to buy such a slave. The price that would be obtained from selling magus of the seventh rank would probably be far greater than the prize money Hugh would receive from the army.
"Did you say ... that you sold Reynolds to a slave trade organization?" Ask Linley.
"really. "Say Hugh was terrified. He now knew that Reynolds was Mr. Linley's close friend.
"How badly was Reynolds hurt?" Said Linley concerned. From the reports he heard, Reynolds suffered life-threatening injuries. Linley was worried about him.
Hugh said with certainty, “Master Linley, don't worry. When I took Reynolds back, I immediately invited the healer to come treat him. And then, after he was sold to the slave trade organization, those slave traders would definitely not let such a precious commodity die. ”
Valuable commodity?
In his heart, Linley was worried about his friend. Reynolds has fallen to the point of being a slave?
"Let's go . You will come with me to find that slave trade organization. You should know where it is, right? "Linley grabbed Hugh by his clothes, and Hugh hurriedly said," Yes, this humble one remembers him very clearly. ”
The nearest Chastre snapped, "Hugh, from today onwards, you should accompany Mr. Linley. Whatever Master Linley wants you to do, you must obey. "Chastre looked at Linley and said apologetically," Mr. Linley, our deepest apology. I hope you won't be too angry with us. ”
Chastre really had no other choice.
In general, in times of war, neither side would dare to involve the family and friends of Saints. After all, if a Saint went berserk, it would be extremely frightening.
In the historical record, there were more than a few cases of a Saint rampaging and killing tens of thousands of soldiers.
However, in general, Saints are tall and mighty people who stand on the upheaval. As long as you don't offend them, they won't bend over to cause trouble with ordinary people.
Linley glanced at Chastre, then grabbed Hugh. "Let's go . "He suddenly rose into the air, and then flew with Bebe towards the south …
Watching Linley fly, the entire military camp heaved a sigh of relief. Facing such a powerful Saint, all the soldiers present really had nothing they could do.
"Commander, go now and manage your subordinates. I am worried that the Golden Flame Legion will take this opportunity to launch a sneak attack. ”Looking at how chaotic and lackluster the military camp was, Chastre could only feel worried. After all, their troops were already in a state of chaos, and the spirit of the army was already suppressed by Linley.
Chastre's prediction was correct. Not too long after, the Golden Flame Legion once again began their ferocious attacks.
Within the border city within the Rohault Empire. Hugh in hand, Linley descended into a seemingly mediocre estate, which had a number of beautifully dressed guards inside.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly the wind blew out of nowhere. Linley, now in human form again, appeared on the ground with Hugh in his grip. Linley was no longer as sad and angry as he was at the beginning, as he prepared to avenge his brother's death. He's much calmer, now.
No matter what, at least his Fourth Bro was still alive.
“Old White [Huai'te]! Old White's! ”Hugh immediately started yelling at the top of his lungs as soon as he landed.
"Who are you?" Old White did not come out, but quickly, more than ten guards appeared in a circle around them, all of whom had their weapons at the ready, ready to attack at any moment. It was only then that a silver-haired old man wearing a men's suit appeared from the side door. Seeing Hugh, the silver-haired old man laughed out loud. "Oh, so that's my dear Hugh. Why are you in a hurry, to directly charge? ”
"Hugh, who is this?" The old man named 'White' had extremely sharp eyes. He instantly knew that this man wearing a black robe was extremely outstanding. After returning to human form, Linley had not changed clothes, and his pants were torn and torn.
Linley frowned, glancing coldly at this Old White.
"Old White, this is Mr. Linley!" Hugh said hurriedly.
"Mr Linley?" Old White was startled, and then a look of shock appeared on his face. "Could this be the Dragonblood Warrior of the O'Brien Empire, Lord Linley?"
Hugh hurriedly nodded. "I was flown here by Master Linley. ”
"Old White ..." Linley looked at Old White.
"Mr Linley. "Old White is very humble.
Linley straight to the point. "Old White, about a month ago, Hugh brought a young magus of the seventh rank and sold it to you, I believe. ”
Old White glanced at Hugh, then nodded towards Linley. "That's right . ”
“Magus of that seventh rank, his name is Reynolds! He is my chestmate, Linley! "This Linley's voice was very calm, but his eyes stared coldly at Old White.
Old White's eyes instantly turned around like cow eyes. "Mas ... Mr. Linley's bosom friend ?!" Old White Eyes were filled with shock, terror, and disbelief.
Although this slave trade organization was quite powerful and had some connections to the four major assassin guilds, no matter how powerful they were, they would not dare to offend a Saint, let alone a peak stage Saint like Linley!
"Hugh, you ..." Old White looked at Hugh angrily.
Hugh sold the Reynolds to their organization. Their organization dared to sell almost everyone, even the disciples from the big clans, but why would Hugh sell them a close friend of a Saint?
A bitter smile appeared on Hugh's face.
He doesn't know either. If he knew, would he dare to offend Reynolds? Now, Hugh's life is in Linley's hands.
"Old White. "Linley speaks.
Old White's reaction speed was extremely fast. He hurriedly said to Linley, "Master Linley, don't worry. Because it's Bp. Reynolds is your friend, Mr. Linley, our organization will definitely not do anything to Mr. Linley. Reynolds. I will immediately send someone to inform our headquarters … "
"What's the problem? Where is Reynolds? "Ask Linley.
"This ... this ..." There was a hint of fear on Old White's face. After all, Reynolds had been sold as a slave almost a month ago.
Linley could sense something was wrong, and he immediately barked, "Speak!"
Old White had a feeling of terror in his heart. If a Saint like Linley grew angry at him, it was truly possible that their entire organization would be wiped off the map. He hurriedly said, "Mr Linley, when Mister. Reynolds was brought here, first we arranged for his wound to be treated, and then roughly ten days later, we sent him away with a large group of slaves in one shipment. From my understanding, Mr. Reynolds may have arrived at our headquarters. ”
"Headquarters?" Linley frowned.
Hugh was confused, too. "Old White, what's going on? Isn't your organization usually selling slaves directly in the slave market? Why did you send Sir. Reynolds to your base? "
Old White hurriedly said, “We did sell ordinary slaves in the slave market, yes, but Sir. Reynolds is different. He was a magus of the seventh rank! He has a very big risk. If we sell Mr. Reynolds to the customer, and then Mr. Reynolds will use magic spells and kill customers, then our organization will have to pay a huge fine. ”
Linley looked at Old White.
“Because of that, for powerful people like Mr. Reynolds and other dangerous, high-quality slaves, they were all sent to the headquarters, where they would be trained for three months. They will be trained and taught to never dare to disobey orders and obey their masters. Only then will we send it to the customer. "Old White explained.
Linley's face changed.
Train them so they don't dare to break? Dutifully obeying his master's orders? The person being trained was an expert like Reynolds .. Linley could really imagine how sinister and terrifying this 'training' was.
“Where is your headquarters? Take me there . "Linley's face changed and he immediately shouted.
Old White hesitated for a moment, but seeing the frightening look in Linley's eyes, he immediately nodded. "Yes, Mr. Linley, I will immediately guide you to our headquarters. ”
“Our headquarters is deep within the Rohault Empire and far from the border. Given the winding road, it was a trip of three thousand kilometers from here. "Say Old White.
“My boss can fly you there. "Bebe nearby said unhappily. Bebe was also worried about Reynolds. After all, when they were at the Ernst Institute, Bebe would often have fun together and play around with Reynolds.
Old White hurriedly nodded. He did not dare to say a word.
"Mr Linley, there's no need for me to go with you, right?" The nearby Hugh was filled with terror.
Linley turned to look at Hugh. Right now, Reynolds is probably being tortured by people at the headquarters of the slave trade organization. Thinking of this, Linley could not help but feel a hint of anger.
"Dash!" Blurry paws swept away. Hugh gripped his throat in fear, but fresh blood still flowed out of his throat. A few moments later, Hugh fell to the floor.
Floating in the air, Bebe glanced at Hugh dissatisfiedly. “You , you think you will be able to save your worthless skin? Are you stupid or what? When you killed Reynolds Corps soldiers, you thought it was quite fun, didn't you? Well, today, when I, Bebe, kill you, I find it very pleasant too. ”
Seeing this scene play out, Old White's body trembled slightly.
“Old people, don't be afraid. As long as you obediently follow the orders of my Boss, I, Bebe, will definitely not persecute you. Bebe smiled widely, revealing his sharp fangs.
Old White had heard about how, during Linley's duel with Haydson, two Saint-level magical beasts Linley had appeared, and, one of them seemed to be a mouse-type magical beast and one that easily trampled on Haydson. Staring at the hovering Bebe, Old White began to suspect that this Bebe was most likely an extremely frightening magical beast.
Frightened, Old White could only force herself to smile at Bebe.
Linley snatched Old White then soared into the air, flying towards the southeast. "Old White, lead the way for me!" The frightened Old White cleared his throat a few times, stared at the ground below, then began directing Linley towards their headquarters.
