In this assassination, 18 soldiers of the Holy See of Light died on Linley's side, as well as four maids and two male waiters. After this incident, the Holy See of Light immediately increased the protection of this mansion.
On the night of the assassination, in the living room of the mansion.
"Linley, are you alright?" King Clyde asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, this is just a minor injury." Linley's arm was still wrapped in gauze.
In fact, Linley wasn't injured this time, but Linley didn't want people to think he was so powerful. So I created some skin injuries myself. Just slashed the arm with a flat knife.
For Lin Lei, who had experienced the pain of his first dragon transformation, this was nothing at all.
"Linley, you'll be fine." Duke Paderson, who was beside Clyde, also said with a smile.
Linley looked at Duke Paderson.
This evening should be the meeting between Linley and Duke Paderson. But because of this assassination, the two were unable to speak in private.
"Second brother, let's not disturb Linley, let him rest." Clyde turned his head and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Paderson glanced at Linley before leaving with Clyde.
Linley felt a hint of helplessness in the glance that Paderson looked at when he left. Apparently in the plan, Paderson was going to meet Linley alone at night, and there should be some things to discuss. But now the opportunity is clearly not right.
…
In the next few days, the mansion was quiet again.
"Boss, today is May 18." Beibei, who was having lunch with Linley, suddenly said to Linley's soul.
"yes, what's wrong?" lei looked at bebe.
Bei Bei's little nose wrinkled, she curled her lips and said, "Boss, have you forgotten? Didn't Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family tell you that June 18 is his son's engagement day? He also invited You go to participate. It's May 18 now, and there's only one month left."
"got engaged?"
Linley was startled.
In a month, Alice will be engaged to Karan.
"It's none of my business." Linley regained his composure in an instant, then lowered his head and continued to eat lunch.
Bei Bei's slender eyes rolled two or three times, and then he touched his chin with his small paw, looking puzzled: "Could it be that I, Bei Bei, saw it wrong? It's so accurate. The boss should definitely mind, if it were me, I would have smashed that little brother of Kalan with one paw."
"Lord Linley."
A knight from the Knights came in from outside the living room, "Lord Linley, Lord Gilmore, the red-clothed archbishop, is here."
"Gilmore?" Linley paused for a moment, then put down the tableware and walked straight out the door.
Among the Holy See of Light, Lin Lei was most familiar with and had the best relationship with the Archbishop of Gilmer in red. People treated him so politely, naturally Linley wouldn't be arrogant and think that he was really better than others.
…
"Lin Lei, I have a happy news to tell you." Gilmore said cheerfully and directly when he saw Lin Lei's face.
Linley looked at Gilmer in confusion: "What's the happy event?"
Gilmore said with a smile, "Lin Lei, do you know that there is a special group of people in our Holy See of Light—the ascetic?"
"know." lei nodded.
The last time I was captured and escorted by a master of the Dark Holy See, it was the vice-president of the Inquisition and an ascetic who led a group of deacons to scare the other party away. Only then did he return to Finlay City.
"In the Holy See of Light, many characters who are obsessed with magic or Martial Dao have joined the ranks of the ascetic. It can be said that whether it is the knights of the temple, the Inquisition, etc., the masters are far inferior to the ascetic. of."
Gilmore smiled and patted Linley on the shoulder, "What I want to tell you is that you have a great hope of becoming a disciple of a legendary ascetic."
"legendary ascetic?" lei frowned.
Gilmer said with a light smile: "This legendary ascetic is also the top figure among the ascetic group. He also has a very high status in our Temple of Light. And his strength, I am afraid to look at the entire Yulan Continent, Only those three perverts can completely surpass him."
"Three perverts?" Linley immediately became curious, "Lord Gilmore, who are the three perverts you're talking about?"
The two of them had already returned to the living room.
Gilmer didn't answer immediately, but made a color to a priest in white next to him. The priest in white immediately kicked everyone out, and he obediently closed the living room door and left.
In the entire living room, there were only Linley, Gilmore, and Beibei, the little shadow mouse.
"Linley, in the future you may also come into contact with these people, and it's fine for me to tell you." Gilmer pretended to be mysterious.
lei looked at gilmer curiously.
Gilmer sighed: "In the entire Magnolia Continent, there are three existences that completely transcend the Sanctuary. The metamorphosis I am talking about is these three metamorphosis."
"Existing beyond the sanctuary, isn't that a god?" Linley said in shock.
"Yes, it can be called a god." Gilmer nodded.
Linley immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Gilmer said slowly: "Of the three perverted characters in the entire Yulan, the first perverted character is the 'high priest of the Temple of Life' of the Yulan Empire, and many people directly call it the 'high priest'. The age of the high priest, At least I don't know. He lived too long."
lei nodded.
"The second perverted character has an extremely long lifespan. He is the true master of the third fiercest land in the Yulan Continent, the Forest of Darkness. This perverted character is said to belong to the monster family, but he has already reached the point where he can change into a human form. Linley , you should know that even if a beast reaches the level of the sanctuary, it can change in size at most, and it is only human words, and it is impossible to become a human form. A beast can be cultivated to become a human form, and his horror and imagination are trembling. ."
Linley nodded slightly.
He heard Delink Cowart talk about these two characters. When Delink Cowart was alive, these two characters were invincible.
"Where's the third person?" Linley asked.
Gilmer sighed: "The third person is also a person I admire very much. He is the founding emperor of the most powerful military power in the entire Yulan continent, the 'O'Brien Empire', known as the 'O'Brien' of the 'Martial God'. ."
"O'Brien?" Linley remembered the name immediately.
O'Brien Empire, named after this man, can imagine his amazingness.
"More than 5,000 years ago, the Valkyrie rose rapidly and defeated one powerhouse after another. In that era, there were many superpowers, such as the four ultimate warriors, which were also born in that era." Gilmer laughed. looked at lei.
lei thought of his ancestor 'baruch'.
The first-generation patriarch of the Baruch family was born more than 5,000 years ago.
"Although the four ultimate warriors at the time were powerful, the radiance was completely covered up by the Valkyrie, who defeated one after another sanctuary powerhouse. In the end, they even had a decisive battle with the high priest on the 'Magnolia River'. , because this war affected more than 10,000 people who died. In the end, both the Magnolia Empire and the O’Brien Empire abandoned that large area, and finally formed three kingdoms as a buffer between the two empires.” Gilmer sighed. .
"Lin Lei, in many people's minds, the high priest is the strongest human being. But the god of war was able to compete with the high priest. And how long did it take for the god of war to cultivate? This is what many people admire him. I don't know about five thousand years. It's over, what is the cultivation level of the god of war?" Gilmore said with admiration.
Linley also nodded to himself.
"Martial God, tie with the High Priest?" Dering Cowart's voice sounded in Linley's mind, "How is that possible?"
The era in which Drincowart lived was the era when the high priest's light was completely illuminated.
In Dering Cowart's mind, the High Priest is too strong. Simply unmatched.
"Grandpa Delin, strong men appear in every era. If you, Grandpa Delin, didn't die and continued to practice, maybe one day you would be able to break through the sanctuary and become a master on par with the high priest." Linley said in his heart.
Dering Cowart let out a low sigh, then said no more.
"Don't talk about those three perverts. The people I'm going to take you to meet soon are second only to those three perverts. If you can become his disciple, it will be very helpful for your breakthrough in magic. Great benefit," Gilmer said.
Linley laughed secretly in his heart.
Second only to the three perverted characters, his own grandpa Delin, wasn't he also the peak of the sanctuary back then
"this legendary ascetic, what's his name?" lei asked.
"His name is... Fallen Leaves."
…
Among the slums in Fenlai City, Linley still didn't know that there was such a desolate and backward place in 'Fenlai City', one of the top mega cities in the Magnolia Continent. Even his own rural town is far inferior.
At this moment, Linley and Gilmer were walking side by side in this dirty alley.
"Lord Gilmore, the Lord Leaves you said is right here?" Linley couldn't believe it.
"Yes." Gilmer nodded and said, "Lin Lei, remember, Lord Ye Ye hates the nobles who think they are superior to others, so you must be humble, that is, you must be humble and polite to those poor people."
Linley looked at some poor people next to him.
Not far from the side, a skinny boy of seven or eight years old was wearing a torn sackcloth, the sackcloth was oily black. This little boy was looking at Linley curiously and fearfully with those big eyes wide open.
Because he was too thin, his eyes became bigger and bigger.
Linley's heart trembled with that innocent look.
Linley didn't do much, just kept moving forward beside Gilmer. Along the way, lei saw many poor children. Most of these children are very thin.
"It's here," Gilmer said suddenly.
Linley couldn't help but turn his head to look.
I saw a house made of iron sheets in front of me. An old man who looked like a beggar was sitting in front of the house. The old man was so thin that his heart trembled. The skin of his whole body seemed to be folded up. Bone and a layer of skin were removed.
Just such an old guy, looking at Linley with great interest.
"Lord Fallen Leaves." Gilmore said respectfully.
"Is he really Lord Fallen Leaves?" Linley couldn't be sure in his heart, but seeing Gilmore doing this, he had no choice but to believe it.
But this old man in front of him, like a beggar old man who can be blown by a gust of wind, is really the top powerhouse in the sanctuary, Lord Fallen Leaf
"Gilmer, is this the talented kid you're talking about?" the old beggar asked.
"Yes, Lord Leaf." Gilmore said respectfully.
"Grandpa Lei Ye, Grandpa Lei Lei, save my mother, she was injured." Only a childish voice was heard, and a little girl was walking step by step with her emaciated mother on her back.
The old beggar immediately walked over and stretched out his right hand.
The holy light shone, and the woman who had been seriously injured recovered at an astonishing speed.
The old beggar turned his head and looked at Linley: "I will only teach those who are kind-hearted and pure in soul. And you... the killing intent is too heavy, I won't teach you."
Gilmer was taken aback when he heard this.
"The killing intent is too heavy?" Linley had a smile on his face.
The feud between father and mother made Linley suffer unspeakably every day. He wanted to kill Paderson all the time. But he must be calm and not impulsive. This coercive repression made Linley's killing intent continue to grow.
"Lord Leaves, then I'll take my leave." Linley bowed slightly, turned his head and left.
The old beggar who wanted to say a few more words couldn't help but startled when he saw Linley leaving so quickly, and then a smile appeared on his face.
