The Sovereign Dragon Ring

The Sovereign Dragon Ring
Episode 51



Time kept going, and in the blink of an eye, it was now the end of May.


For the past two months, every day, Linley spent some of his free time in a meditative state, and the rest practiced practicing stone-making or reading. The Ernst Institute Library held a large number of books in it, and through reading these books, Linley was able to increase the breadth of his knowledge.


29 May Morning


Linley, Yale, George, and Reynolds stood in the square in front of the Proulx Gallery. The nearest car contained three wooden crates. During these past two months, Linley had actually managed to produce nine new sculptures, but since this was the first time he had sent the artwork to the gallery, it was only the first time, Linley just wanted to feel how everything worked and thus only brought three.


"Bring those three boxes," Yale directed.


Some servants from the Yale clan began to lift and move the crates.


"Third brother, come with me. “Yale is obviously very familiar with this street, and she goes straight to the side of the Proulx Gallery. The Proulx Gallery took up an enormous space, and to the side of the main entrance, several hundred meters away, there was a mediocre door, with a middle-aged man dressed in warrior clothes standing in front of him.


When the middle-aged man saw Yale step towards him, his eyes lit up and he immediately rushed over. Smiling, he saluted and said, "Youth Yale master, welcome!"


Yale smiled and nodded. "I imagine you already know why I'm here. This is my good friend, Linley. These three statues are his. Where's your servant? Ask them to bring a statue inside. ”


"Wait a minute . "The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.


Immediately, several movers emerged from the corridor, and the middle-aged man smiled towards Linley. "Young Master Linley, as per the rules of our Proulx Gallery, you must leave your proof of identification. All you need to do is let us record the identification details of your Ernst Institute students. ”


The identification of students at the Ernst Institute is more than enough evidence.


Linley withdrew his student's identity.


Receiving the identification paper from Linley, the middle-aged man glanced at them, and his eyes instantly lit up. Surprised, he raised his gaze back to Linley. "Fifth grade?" Linley's class was very visible on the identification paper. For someone so young to reach the magus rank of the fifth rank was indeed quite shocking.


Yale could not help but say proudly, "This brother of mine is one of the last two geniuses of the Ernst Institute. Last year, when she was only fourteen, at the year-end exam, she earned the magus title of fifth rank. ”


One of the two main geniuses of the Ernst Institute?


In his heart, the middle-aged man knew quite clearly that the future prospects for this young man standing in front of him, Linley, were limitless. His attitude soon became much more obedient. After recording the details of Linley's biography, he made a mark on each of the three chests.


"Young master Linley, everything is handled. All you have to do, Young Master, is come back in a month and collect your renumeration. "The middle-aged man smiled.


"In a month? I don't have time next month. Can we delay it to three months because of that? "Ask Linley. Linley planned to go to the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts in a week or two, and on this trip, he planned to spend two months or so there.


"Not in a hurry. As long as your statue finds a buyer, you can return at any time to collect your fees. "The middle-aged man nodded.


Yale frowned. "Hrm? What is happening . I remember that in the past, before receiving the statue, you had to first check the contents of the crate. Why don't you do the inspection this time? ”


The middle-aged man said, “The reason we checked the inside of the crate was to prevent unscrupulous people from sending us some already broken statues. If we are unable to detect the damage, they may claim that the damage was caused by the gallery and try to blackmail us. But since these three special statues have been sent by young master Linley and you, young master Yale, I have no problem. I'm sure that someone like you, the young master of Yale, wouldn't do such an act. ”


The middle-aged man knew exactly what he was doing.


Expand Proulx Gallery? The amount of money he could possibly squeeze might not even be enough to count as pocket money for him. And the creator of these statues, Linley, is known as one of the two great geniuses of the Ernst Institute. How could people like them lower themselves to such basic actions?


… .


Day turned into night. On the main street of East Fenlai City, Fragrant Pavilion Avenue. The third floor of Jade Water Heaven. Linley and the other three had their own rooms.


The nights in Fenlai City are always very busy.


But the nights inside the Jade Water Heaven were even more crowded, having reached the peak of the bustle. The women's coquettish laughter could be heard nonstop, while the men's wailing laughter was also constantly heard. Inside the private room, the four brooches were drinking while conversing, and beside each side was a gentle and beautiful girl.


“Second brother, third brother, I'll sleep, and fourth sister too. The two of you .. "His arms encircle a girl with long green hair, Yale's breath smells of liquor.


“That's enough, boss Yale. Stop talking, okay? "Linley cut out Yale's words.


Yale and Reynolds exchanged glances, then looked at Linley and George with contemptuous gazes. And then Yale and Reynolds, each with an arm around the waist of their respective friends, left a private room. For two years now, Linley and the gang had already come here frequently.


In general, Yale and Reynolds would have fun, while Linley and George drank the most and chatted with the girls.


"Young master Linley, we've known each other for two years now, but you …. "The green-haired girl sitting next to Linley said in an unhappy voice.


Linley could not help but feel a headache coming.


“Ira [Ai'la], if you are tired, you can go back and rest. I guarantee that when the time comes, you will not receive a single copper coin that is less than you deserve. "Linley had no choice but to say coldly, causing the girl named Ira to no longer dare to speak." It was rare to see someone come to the Jade Water Paradise but only drink.


A white light shone from the Coiling Dragon Ring, and transformed himself into Doehring Cowart.


Doehring Cowart, face suffused with a smile, looked at Linley. Jokingly, he said, 'Hey, Linley. Why do you have such a rotten face with a girl in front of you? Unfortunately, I, the venerable Grand Magus Saint-level, am now only a disembodied spirit. I cannot touch a woman, even if I want to. And you, you punk, act in such a way? "


“Kakek Doehring's. "Linley frowned sadly as she mentally said to Doehring Cowart.


Doehring Cowart pursed his lips. “You've never felt a woman. If yes, you will not act like one. ”


Linley raised his head and gazed out the window, no longer noticing that the depraved old Doehring Cowart. The cold outside air blew on his face, helping Linley to calm down.


"The Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. Like what, in it? ”


In a week or two, Linley would depart on his way. Within the Ernst Institute, Linley had heard many legends regarding the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, as well as many heard from Doehring Cowart. However, Linley never went alone. Thus, Linley only had his own imagination to rely on when trying to imagine the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.


“In a week, let's go. ”


Gazing outside the window, looking at the boundless night sky, Linley made up his mind.
