"My lord, you want me to carve a set of statues based on you?!"
Lin Lei looked at the person with a face full of astonishment. Although he could not detect the depth of the opponent's strength, he felt an indescribable sense of awe from the deepest part of his soul. He knew that this person was definitely a strong man.
"good."
Jiang Chen stepped forward with a smile, fearing Lin Lei's shoulder, and said: "As long as the stone sculpture carved by Master Lin Lei can satisfy me, I can give you a treasure as a reward. One treasure will mean you have reached the god level. I will also consider it a very precious treasure!”
"Um?!"
Lin Lei's face was full of surprise. Although he was still far away from the god level now, with the soul of a strong man from the holy realm by his side, he could naturally understand the horror of the god level.
"How about it?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Master Xiao Lin Lei, are you interested?"
"this... ... ... "
Hearing this, Lin Lei hesitated for a while. At this moment, a voice came from his mind: "Promise him, no matter what kind of reward the other party will give, the other party's strength is unfathomable, even I can't compare in my heyday. , right now, you don’t have the ability to resist the other party.”
"Grandpa Delin..."
Lin Lei's heart was filled with boundless turmoil. You must know that the Grandpa Delin he spoke of, whose full name was Delin Kevot, was a magician in the realm of the Holy Realm during his lifetime. Moreover, he was not an ordinary Saint in the early stage. Although he has been dead for many years and his strength is no longer there, his eyesight has not deteriorated. From this, we can imagine how terrifying the person in front of him must be to make Delinkovart so nervous and frightened.
Protected by the Lord God's Ring, even a god-level powerhouse cannot detect the hidden soul aura. However, Jiang Chen is not an ordinary god-level powerhouse. Even if he is seriously injured now, he is no exception. At the moment, he can spare He glanced at Delinkovart with interest.
"not good!"
At this moment, Drinkwater felt an unprecedented fear. He felt as if he was being targeted by an unimaginably powerful being. Once the other party took action... No, there was no need to take action. , as long as the other party has a thought, he may be driven to pieces.
Will Jiang Chen take action
The answer is of course no!
What kind of existence he is, a supreme existence that can be on an equal footing with Hongmeng who opened up the world of Panlong. Even if he is seriously injured, his strength is reduced, and he is in a low period, he is not comparable to ordinary practitioners. He is just a strong man in the holy realm. ... ... ... Well, it should be said that it is just a holy soul. In his eyes, it is nothing more than an ant.
A person can easily crush an ant to death, but who would be so bored as to crush an ant to death
Ignoring Delinkovart, who was so frightened that his soul almost collapsed, Jiang Chen smiled at Lin Lei and said: "I know that Master Lin Lei has some scruples, but I am not the one who imposes his will on others. If Master Lin Lei is not willing, , I won’t force it, after all, what I want is a fair deal.”
"Lord Jiang Chen!"
Lin Lei hurriedly said: "It's not that I don't want to."
Jiang Chen was overjoyed: "So, Master Xiao Linlei is willing!"
"I... ... ."
Forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Lin Lei had a determined look on his face and said in a deep voice: "I am naturally willing to be valued by Mr. Jiang Chen, but..." At this point, he paused slightly before adding: " A group of stone sculptures must take a lot of time to carve, and it is difficult to complete in a short time.”
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I'll give you plenty of time. After all, you need quality products." As he spoke, he patted Lin Lei on the shoulder again and walked out of the hall.
"Being able to carve is really a useful skill. It's just a set of stone carvings. The reward is actually a good thing that even the Lord calls a 'treasure'. A treasure that can be valued and given by that Lord. Hold it in your hand. I’m afraid even a pig can become a god-level powerhouse.”
"And this Lin Lei became a seventh-level dual-system magician at the age of seventeen. His talent is obviously not bad. It seems that soon, another god-level strongman will be born on the mainland."
Xisai looked at Linley with envy in his eyes. Although he had always been very confident in his talent, it still took him more than six thousand years to break through to the god level. And this confused little guy in front of him was afraid that In the near future, he will be able to catch up with or even surpass himself. Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to make friends. He smiled and said hello: "Hello, Master Lin Lei, my name is Xisai."
"Xise?"
Linley had never heard of this name, but some people had.
"Xisse?!"
Delinkovat's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Lei's mind: "I really didn't expect that this little pervert Xisai would still stay in the material plane of Magnolia Continent."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lei couldn't help but be startled.
Grandpa Delin knows this Xisai? Grandpa Delin, what era did he come from? If he knew him, how old was the Xisai in front of him
"Lin Lei, this Xisai is a very perverted guy. He practices very quickly and kills people without batting an eyelid. When I was alive, Xisai had already entered the Holy Realm. Although he was just entering the Holy Realm for the first time at that time, he is now five thousand Many years have passed, and with the speed of his cultivation, his strength may have become even more astonishing, the pinnacle of the Holy Realm? Or... God-level realm?!"
lei's heart couldn't help but twitch violently.
The middle-aged man in front of him, who looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old, was actually a strong man in the Holy Realm when Delincovot was alive. Drinkwater only lived for more than a thousand years before he died, but this Xisei, if calculated carefully, was at least about six thousand years old.
A six thousand year old pervert!
And he is also an old pervert who has probably reached the level of a god!
"Master Lin Lei, what's wrong with you?"
Xisai asked with concern on his face, "You don't seem to look good."
"Nothing, Mr. Xisay, what can I do for you?"
Lin Lei tried his best to keep himself calm, but when he thought of the other party's identity, Lin Lei couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. A 6,000-year-old old man, a strong man who has lived since the Pu'ang Empire until now. He entered the holy realm back then. What about now
"Nothing, I just want to make some friends with Master Lin Lei!"
Xisai stepped forward, hugged Lin Lei, with a hint of ruthlessness on his face, and said something that made Lin Lei's heart twitch for a whole day: "Compared with that adult, I am no older than you." The difference is not that big, you can call me Brother Xisai, and if you need anything in the future, just ask me for help!"
"this... ... ... "
Lin Lei couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "It's not so good..." Although he is respected as a master sculptor and has experienced a lot of ups and downs, in essence, he is still a seventeen-year-old year old boy.
"What's wrong?"
Xisai smiled and said: "If you can be valued by adults, I believe that you are definitely not a thing in the pool. In the future, your achievements will be limitless. It may be my blessing to be able to call you a brother."
"grown ups?"
Linley suddenly realized in his heart that the master Xisai was talking about was probably Jiang Chen, the person he had traded with before. Thinking of this, he was even more horrified than before, that a strong person like Xisai who had probably reached the god level could be killed. If you call him an adult, what kind of existence should Jiang Chen be
Seemingly seeing the horror in Lin Lei's heart, Xisai immediately smiled and said: "That lord is not something you can predict right now. What you have to do now is to carve for that lord well. Believe me, that lord will give you the best." Your reward will definitely surprise you so much that you’ll wake up laughing in your dreams!”
"Yeah?"
Lin Lei tried his best to calm down: "I will work hard. I will definitely try my best to carve the most perfect work as possible."
"I believe in Master Xiao Linlei's strength."
At this time, Jiang Chen, who had retrieved "Dream Awakening", came over and said with a smile: "However, it is not easy to carve it for me. Little Master Lin Lei, you can deal with your own personal matters first. , I will come to look for you again in a month, and it will not be too late to start carving then."
As he spoke, he took Xisai away directly. In a daze, the two of them disappeared without a trace.
"First... go home!"
Lin Lei's face was full of horror, and his heart was even more horrified. He knew that he might have met an unimaginably powerful being this time. At that moment, he left and redeemed the ancestral sword "Slaughter", and he hurriedly panicked. Returning home, he had to settle his personal affairs as soon as possible before he could concentrate on completing the carving for the gentleman. In this matter, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Jiang Chen and Xi Sai stood at the top of the Imperial City Tower, looking at the retreating team, speechless for a long time.
"Sir, you seem to think highly of Master Lin Lei?"
Xisai asked cautiously.
"Um."
Without hiding anything, Jiang Chen immediately smiled and said, "His future achievements will be beyond your imagination."
"No way."
Xisai's face was full of confusion: "Although he has some talent, there have been many talented people throughout the ages."
"You will understand later."
Jiang Chen sighed: "It's just that becoming stronger requires paying a price. Soon, he will usher in a huge change, a huge change that will change his life!"
Just as Jiang Chen said, just when Lin Lei happily returned to his hometown with his ancestral sword, what greeted him was not his father's joy and relief, but... a cold tablet.
His father is dead!
Kneeling in front of his father's memorial tablet, he opened the last letter his father left for him with trembling hands:
"Linley: When you open this letter, I may have been dead for a long, long time.
I am endlessly sorry for you and Wharton, but there is no way I can compensate you. I just want you to be able to spend as much time as possible in peace, so I let you Uncle Hillman. This letter will be handed over to you when you reach level seven warrior. "
Seeing this, Lin Lei couldn't help but feel sad. Give yourself some peace and quiet? I'm afraid my father didn't expect that he would become a seventh-level magician so quickly. After all, at normal speed, it would take a long time for the average person to practice from level six to level seven.
"Lin Lei, I have always kept a secret in my heart. Your mother did not die in childbirth because of giving birth to Wharton."
Suddenly, Lin Lei was shocked, because since he was a child, Lin Lei knew that his mother died in childbirth due to childbirth, but now it seems that this... is just a lie.
"Back then, your mother was pregnant again. She and I were very happy. However, the medical conditions in Wushan Town were too poor. Your mother and I set out for Fenlai City. In Fenlai City, your mother gave birth to the baby safely. Wharton, little Wharton is very cute. Your mother and I are very happy. Not long after little Wharton was born, your mother and I took little Wharton to the Temple of Light to pray for Wharton. That day, your mother and I were very happy. We were so happy, and then we left the Temple of Light and stayed one night in a hotel in Finlay City."
"That night, a group of mysterious people came to the hotel and snatched your mother away. I was outnumbered and could only save Wharton, but I also saw that one of the murderers had the birthmark of Starscream on his arm."
Seeing this, Lin Lei felt as if he had gone back to that night more than ten years ago: under the siege and robbery by a group of mysterious people, his outnumbered father could only save Wharton. He could only watch helplessly, but was unable to save his beloved wife.
"I know that that group of people are not ordinary people. The weakest ones are all fourth-level warriors, and the strongest one is stronger than me. Fortunately, those people only wanted your mother, otherwise I would have been killed long ago. Being able to dispatch such a team , is not a small figure in Fenlai City. I dare not say anything. I brought little Wharton back, and I just said that your mother died in childbirth. And this secret is known to the housekeeper Xili and your Uncle Hillman. .”
When Linley saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: among that group of people, the strongest one was stronger than his father, but they didn't care about his father, they just took away his mother, but what on earth was his mother worth
"I can't tell you this. For more than ten years, I have kept this secret deep in my heart. I dare not tell it to the outside world... I can't even find out whether your mother is alive or dead alone, and what group of people are there? Who is it? I dare not find out."
His father's words also made Lin Lei feel distressed.
"I am the heir to the Dragon Blood Warrior family. At least I must raise you up. I can't let the Baruch family cut off its roots. I endure it year after year, but I can't sleep every night. Is your mother alive? It’s death, this has been torturing me. I endured it...I endured it for eleven years!”
"Lin Lei, you make me very proud. First you became a student at the No. 1 Magic Academy in Magnolia Continent, and then you became a genius at Ernst Magic Academy. I have full confidence in you. Even the concentration of dragon-blood warrior blood in Wharton's body All met the requirements. I am very proud that both of my sons are so outstanding. I am worthy of the ancestors of the Baruch family! But even at this time, I dare not inquire about your mother's affairs, because Wharton still needs a lot of money. To pay expensive tuition.”
"I endured it for eleven years. When you handed me the large number of magic crystal cores you obtained from the Warcraft Mountains, I knew that day... I could finally let go of everything and inquire about your mother's life and death. Although Your mother hasn't come back these eleven years, and your mother is probably dead, but I don't want to give up, even if she dies, I will avenge her."
Linley's hands trembled when he saw this. He understood that in the past, because his father had to be responsible for his younger brother's expensive tuition fees, he never dared to investigate his mother's affairs regardless of life or death. But his magic crystal core worth nearly 80,000 gold coins completely relieved his father's burden.
"I was finally able to investigate. I changed my appearance and identity and lurked in Fenlai City. I started to trace what happened back then."
"But it took too long. I only knew that there was a birthmark of Starscream on my arm. I searched for nearly a year and finally found the person with the birthmark of Starscream. I continued to check along this line, and gradually 's... I finally know the people behind this group of people."
"The leader behind this group of people is none other than Duke Paterson, the younger brother of His Majesty King Clyde, one of the royal families of the Kingdom of Finlay!"
