The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 87's

After returning to the Ernst Institute, Linley had just gotten his backpack from his room, then headed straight for the mountain behind the Ernst Institute. Inside the backpack, there were only her clothes, her magic card, and a straight chisel.

“Bro Second, Bro Fourth, keep an eye on Bro Third. "Yale instructed.

George and Reynolds both nodded. They were also worried about Linley.

"Boss, what are you going to do?" Ask Reynolds.

Yale's eyes flickered with a frozen look. "I?"

“I will investigate and see why Alice, the blind girl, decided to betray Third Bro. And I'll see what little dares to steal my brother's woman. "As he spoke, Yale stood up. “I'm heading to Fenlai City now. You guys helped me take care of Third Bro. ”

"course . "Reynolds and George nodded.

And then, Yale left, taking with him the guards of his clan, heading straight out of the Ernst Institute to Fenlai City. As for Reynolds and George, in the middle of this freezing winter night, they rushed to the mountain behind the Ernst Institute.

……

Riding a fine stallion, Yale led his guards storming across the snowy plains. Soon, they returned to Fenlai City. Upon entering the city, Yale headed straight for one of his clan headquarters in Fenlai City.

This is a nine-story building, a famous hotel in Fenlai City.

Behind the hotel, there are a number of small buildings that are not open to the public. Yale directly stormed into the smaller two-story-tall red building. As he did, five extraordinarily dressed middle-aged men came out. Upon seeing Yale, they all respectfully exclaimed, "Youth Master Yale!"

"Walt [Hua'te], where's my Second Uncle?" Yale asked directly.

Among the five middle-aged men, there was one named Walt. He was the only one of them wearing a long black robe. Walt respectfully replied, “His master returned to our main headquarters seven days ago. For now, the affairs in the Holy Union are under my management. ”

Walt knew very well that ever since this second young master became a disciple of the Ernst Institute, his position in the clan hierarchy had skyrocketed.

Yale was unlike any of the ordinary clan members, as Yale was in a direct lineage. Even Walt's supreme supervisor, the 'Second Uncle' in charge of all the affairs of the Holy Union, would not dare to be disrespectful to Yale.

"Young Master Yale, if you have anything that needs to be dealt with, please let me know. "Walk said with respect.

Yale was silent for a moment, then gave direct instruction. “Go and do an investigation for me. On the Dry Road of Fenlai City, there was a girl named Alice. He must be sixteen this year. He is also a student at the Wellen Institute. Recently, she was with a man. Give me all the information about this man. ”

"Yes, young master Yale. "Walt smiled a little. "Young Master Yale, do you like this Alice? If you do, then I can … "

"Not needed . "Yale's face is cold and dark. “What I need is information, as fast as you can provide. Be understood? ”

"Yes nih . “Walt can sense that this young master of Yale seems to be really angry this time around.

… .

That night too. Flickering candle.

Yale was sitting at the table, pouring himself a cup of wine, his face displeased. But clearly, his mind was elsewhere and not on wine.

Suddenly, urgent footsteps could be heard. Walt suddenly rushed in, along with a woman in her 20s who looked ice-cold. Upon entering the room, Walt bowed respectfully. "Youth Master Yale, we have clearly investigated this Alice and her male friend. ”

“Speak. "Yale said coldly.

Walt looked at the cold woman, who bowed respectfully. "Youth Master Yale, that Alice has two male friends. The first was Linley Baruch, who was born in Wushan Township … "

"Stop . Discuss the second. "Yale frowned.

“Alice's boyfriend is currently named Kalan Debs. He was born in the city of Fenlai, and is currently seventeen years old. He was a student at Wellen Warrior Academy, a soldier of the fifth rank! This Debs clan was the main clan in the Fenlai Kingdom, and Kalan Debs would be the direct successor of the clan leader. ”

"Kalan Debs ... the Debs clan?" Yale frowned. "Only a small clan within the kingdom?"

Walt, who was trying to ingratiate himself with Yale, said, "In the Kingdom of Fenlai, the Debs clan can be considered as the main clan. But of course, in the Yulan continent as a whole, it could only be considered a very mediocre little clan. ”

"Oh. I want to severely punish this Debs clan. What would you recommend? "Yale looked at Walt.

"That's easy!"

Walt started laughing. "Young Yale Master, you don't know this, but this Debs clan is actually our Dawson Conglomerate partner in Fenlai. In the Kingdom of Fenlai, the Dawson Conglomerate made a lot of money, while their Debs clan earned a portion of our memo. After all these years, the memos fattened the Debs clan. ”

"Oh, this Debs clan is actually our Conglomerate partner in the Kingdom of Fenlai?" A smile appeared on Yale's face.

Walt nodded. "Yes, young master Yale. You should know very well that our Dawson Conglomerate does not seek to derive all the benefits of any single trade. In the Four Great Kingdoms and in the various empires, we always have partners. Naturally, we should give them some benefits as well. ”

Yale nodded.

He knows this very well. The Dawson Clan controlled the Dawson Conglomerate, which was one of the three titanic trade unions on the Yulan continent. Even the Four Great Kingdoms and the two alliances did not dare to look down on them. This was the reason why Yale was able to enroll in the Ernst Institute.

Behind the Ernst Institute was the Radiant Church. On the surface, they claim that the registration standards are fair and open.

How could an ordinary clan manage to get someone through the back door of the Radiant Church?

The recognition of the Dawson Conglomerate is this: “When there is money made, everyone gets a share. ”

In the Four Great Kingdoms, two alliances, and various other kingdoms and dukes, the Dawson Conglomerate would always have some trading partners, and would allow them to profit as well.

To be able to work side by side with the Dawson Conglomerate was akin to rising to the top of a massive money-making war machine. In the Kingdom of Fenlai, the Debs only got a small portion of what the Dawson Conglomerate made, but that was enough to make them extremely rich by the standards of the Fenlai Kingdom.

"Youth Master Yale, there have always been many clans in the Fenlai Kingdom who are demanding to replace the Debs clan as our local partners here. The only reason we are still working with the Debs clan is because they have become quite good partners, which is why we have not given another clan a chance. "Walt smile.

Yale understood Walt's intentions.

“Replace our local partners in Fenlai Kingdom immediately. As for the Debs clan? Pressuring them! ”Yale sounds are ice cold.

This is nothing more than a matter of partners in a small kingdom. Even Walt, who was only the second commander of the Dawson Conglomerate in Fenlai, had the authority to make this decision. Moreover, Yale, a clan member who was in the main family branch.

"Klan Debs Poor. "Walt quietly said to himself.

… .

On the mountain behind the Ernst Institute, snow covered everything with a layer of silvery-white clothing. Inside the dense trees, there were several large stones. In an empty spot on the mountain, Linley stood silently, eyes closed, on top of one of the giant boulders.

The Shadowmouse, Bebe, next to him, stood in the snow, silently protecting Linley.

George and Reynolds looked at each other with concern.

"George. What is Linley doing? He stood there on that rock for a whole day and night now. When we called him, he had no answer. And he hasn't eaten or drunk anything. If this continues .. "Reynolds starts to panic.

George slowly shook his head. “Don't be impatient. The Third Bro was a magus of the sixth rank, and a warrior. His body is strong and tough. It had been fortified by the absorption of the natural elemental essence. Even if he went a few days without food or water, it should not be a problem. Let's watch him now. I believe that Third Bro is not the type of person who cannot recover from setbacks. ”

Reynolds nodded slightly.

None of them knew what Linley's current condition was like.

In fact, Doehring Cowart was there, beside Linley as well. Only Reynolds and George could not see it. Doehring Cowart silently watched Linley. In his heart, he was secretly shocked. "This Linley person seems to have entered a higher mental world. "As a grandmaster sculptor, Doehring Cowart could guess what kind of country Linley was entering.

Linley was staring at the stone. This stone was over two meters tall and three meters wide.

He stared at the line on the rock. The rocky lines and rough patterns covering this stone are all very complex. But as Linley continued to stare at him, a number of lines and patterns seemed to drift from the boulder and reappear in Linley's mind.

These lines and patterns form five human images.

Suddenly, the five images transformed themselves into Alice. All sorts of scenes appeared in Linley's mind as well. In the eyes of his mind, this huge stone suddenly transformed himself various statues. In the end, it turned into five female statues.

"George, look! Third Bro is moving! ”Say Reynolds surprised.

From inside his backpack, Linley took out his straight chisel. Holding it in his right hand, staring at the stone, Linley suddenly started moving. The straight chisel turned into a blur, and soon, excess rocks and debris started flying from the rock.

His soul has become one with the earth, has become one with the wind.

Linley's soul could clearly sense every single crack, every single row of huge stones was. He held the chisel straight as if it was like the wind, blowing out pieces of excess rock from the rock. Each piece of his chisel looked perfect in motion, not too much, not too little, accurate to the point of perfection.

Sometimes, a straight chisel will move slowly, while at other times, it will move very quickly. Sometimes, it left traces and lines as it flowed through the stone; at other times, it would instantly decapitate the entire stone.

“I still remember how you looked that year, a pitiful look when you were attacked by the Bloodthirsty Pig. ”

The perfect mental image of that scene and Alice formed in Linley's mind. All his emotions and feelings were concentrated into his chisel. The snow started to settle and coalesce around Linley, and just like that, Linley felt his soul merge with the earth and with the wind like never before, because the earth elemental essence and wind elemental essence quickly began to enter Linley's body.

Linley thought nothing else. Right now, he was focusing on the feelings that had already passed.

Slowly, the leftmost 20% of the statue began to turn into the image of a woman. The basic structure of the statue began to take shape. Linley did not eat or drink, continuing to carve incessantly. Occasionally, he held his chisel several times in a row. Other times, he would spend a few minutes carefully carving out a perfect single line.

… .

Linley, having completely encapsulated himself and his feelings for Alice in his straight chisel, was, completely unaware that this was the first time he had entered such a state since he first started learning to carve.

In the past, regardless of whether it was the early days or the later days, Linley would not be completely, 100% included in the engraving.

At the very least, he would spend several days carving the statue. He could stop at any time and continue next time.

But this time it's different. Linley was completely immersed in the feelings of the past, and was completely put into a passionate carving. He didn't even think of stopping, couldn't even see that he hadn't eaten or drank anything. This kind of total immersion and concentration caused Linley to become one with nature because he had never been before.

A sort of absolute oneness with nature caused Linley's spiritual energy to increase at a frightening, previously invisible speed.

Right now, Linley's spiritual energy growth was increasing a thousand times faster than an ordinary person.

“She has truly become one with nature, and has reached the level of forgetting herself. What a surprise. "The Eye of Doehring Cowart.

One day after another passed, with Linley completely absorbed in his work. The earth elemental essence and wind elemental essence were still continuously flowing into his body, replenishing the energy he had lost.

Like the blink of an eye, ten days passed, with Linley engrossed in sculpting the entire time.

"Well!"

With Linley in the middle, the snow suddenly spun outwards in all directions. Chisel straight in hand, Linley silently stared at the gigantic statue in front of him. Linley had put all his effort into making this statue. This was the largest sculpture he had ever made, and it was also the most successful.

The statue consists of five images of a woman. In all five pictures, the woman is the same. Alice.

There was one who showed a sad expression when he faced danger.

There was one who showed an adorable expression on her face as she quietly chatted on the balcony.

There was one who showed an embarrassed expression on her face when they started dating.

There is one that shows how charming he looks when they are in the throes of their love for each other.

And there was one that showed a hint of heartless feeling on his face when they broke up!

“In a year's time, everything has passed, as if it were nothing more than a dream. But now, that dream is over. Let this statue, then, be called 'Awakening From the Dream'. "Staring at his statue, Linley felt his spirit was more peaceful now than before. It was as if all his previous emotions had been entrusted in this statue.

'Rise From Dreams'. This statue has been brought into the world!
