Episode 5 – Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 11 – Lack of Money

Lucas family’s living room, candlelight shining, beautiful maids send a plate of delicious dishes, a group of people to push cups and talk to each other warmly and politely.

Linley had also received noble education since he was a child, he still knew about these, on the surface, he talked politely with one nobleman after another, but Linley’s heart was still rather tired of this.

“Duke Bernard, feel free.”

Linley greeted this Duke Bernard and walked away, Linley walked directly towards the Lucas family’s patriarch, Marquis Jeb, Marquis Jeb saw Linley walk over and understood that there was no hiding from the matter regarding the warblade ‘Slaughter’.

The two of them, Linley and Marquis Jeb, then walked over to the seats at the edge of the living room.

“Marquis Jeb, I believe your nephew has already told you the reason for my visit.”

Linley said humbly.

Marquis Jeb sighed in a low voice, “Linley, I’m already an old man, I really can’t bear to part with this collection.”

“Marquis Jeb, my Baruch family has a history of more than 5,000 years, and I’ve always been proud of the fact that I’m a son of the Baruch family, yet the family legacy has been passed down to the present day, and the legacy treasure, the warblade ‘Slaughter’, has been lost. I can clearly tell you, Marquis Jeb, that our family has been working hard for the sake of the warblade ‘Slaughter’, and a large part of the reason that I have been seriously cultivating since I was a child until now is because of this family’s inherited treasure.”

Although Linley’s voice was calm, the ‘imperative’ contained in his words was obvious.

“I understand, I understand.”

Marquis Jeb tried to squeeze out a smile.

The other family’s inherited treasure, of course they wanted to get it back. Marquis Jeb also understood that if he died without handing over the war knife ‘Slaughter’, then the Lucas family would be pissing off this young man who was only seventeen years old.

Marquis Jeb understood the ‘influence’ of this young man.

Not to mention the Illuminati, even the Dawson Chamber of Commerce could easily ravage their Lucas Family.

“Linley. The warblade ‘Slaughter’ is a very valuable collector’s item, someone once offered me a million gold coins, and I didn’t even bother to sell it.”

Marquis Jeb’s topic instead turned to ‘money’, “Although our Lucas family is ancient, to be honest, our wealth isn’t much.”

Linley was also very clear on this point, according to what Yale had found out, the Lucas family was very old and had a great deal of influence in the Finlay Kingdom. However, its wealth was far inferior to that ‘Karan’ Earth Debus family.

Letting a family that wasn’t too wealthy give away a treasure worth millions of gold coins all of a sudden. This was a bit unrealistic.

“Want money?”

Linley let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

If one wanted money things wouldn’t be difficult.

“Marquis Jeb. In the beginning, you also spent money to purchase the ‘Slaughter’ Warblade. And nowadays, I will naturally pay a figure that will satisfy you. Of course, I also hope that Marquis Jeb doesn’t ask for too much, oh, heh.”

Linley said smilingly.

A smile appeared on Marquis Jeb’s face.

The Warblade ‘Slaughter’ was something that had to be given to the other party, but at the very least, he had to get some gold coins back.

“Linley, you’ve treated my Lucas Family so sincerely, and my Lucas Family has given you face. Although this warblade ‘Slaughter’ is worth millions of gold coins. But as long as you pay six hundred thousand gold coins, then feel free to take this warblade ‘Slaughter’.”

Marquis Jeb said cheerfully.

Six hundred thousand gold coins?

Compared to the value of the Warblade ‘Slaughter’, it was indeed not expensive.

However, nowadays, Linley’s income from relying on stone sculptures only totaled a little over two hundred thousand gold coins. This time, when he had returned from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he had indeed carried a lot of magic crystal cores. But these magic crystal cores were only estimated to be worth over a hundred thousand gold coins. It didn’t add up to enough.

Linley still had valuable items on his person – the Blue Heart Grass and the Holy Realm Purple Striped Black Bear’s Demon Crystal Core!

The Blue Heart Grass, Linley still had over a hundred plants, each worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Not to mention the Sacred Realm Magical Beast Cores. Saint realm magical beast cores were priceless treasures. Prices were much more expensive than ninth level magic crystal cores.

In the past. The price of a Level 9 Magical Crystal Core was 5 million gold coins. It’s still in the books. In reality, a good level nine magic crystal core would cost nearly ten million gold coins!

As for the Holy Realm Magic Crystal Core, I’m afraid that one hundred million gold coins would not be able to buy it.

A priceless treasure!

Of course Linley wouldn’t take out a Holy Realm Magic Crystal Core just because of this. As for the Blueheart Grass, it was also very important to the Dragonblood Warrior Clan, and having one would be treasured.

‘Awakening dream’ stone sculpture!

Linley’s mind suddenly thought of this, for the ‘Dream Awakening’ stone sculpture, Linley’s feelings were complicated, to the point that Linley himself didn’t want to look at it. So Linley had been keeping this stone sculpture in Yale’s custody.

“Sell it.”

Linley suddenly made this decision in his mind, even as a thought flashed through Linley’s mind – “I wonder what Alice, what will she think when she sees this stone sculpture?”

Linley inquired of Drinkwater.

“Linley, it would be good to sell this ‘Waking Dream’ stone sculpture.”

Derinkelwalt replied, “You don’t want to see this ‘Awakening Dream’ stone sculpture, and if you always carry it around with you, it will cause you to think about it often. It is better to sell it directly. And …… it’s also sort of making a name for the ‘Flat Knife School’ that I founded.”

Linley smiled.

“Marquis Jeb, rest assured that six hundred thousand gold coins will be brought shortly. I hope that during this period of time, you won’t sell the ‘Slaughter’ Warblade to anyone else.”

Linley said sincerely.

Marquis Jeb even promised, “Don’t worry Linley, I won’t sell it even if someone else offers two million gold coins.”

If it wasn’t for Linley’s identity, would Marquis Jeb be willing to sell?

Proulx Guild Hall, in the middle of Ostuni Land’s office.

“What, you’re willing to sell that stone sculpture?”

There was shock and ecstasy in Ostoni’s eyes.

Linley nodded slightly, and Yale beside him gave Linley a helpless look.

Yale had grown up with Linley since he was a teenager, and knew Linley’s character very well, Linley was a person who was extremely affectionate towards others, very righteous, and at the same time didn’t like to be indebted to others. This time, Yale was prepared to lend Linley several hundred thousand gold coins.

But according to Linley’s words, “This stone sculpture ‘Waking Dream’, I don’t want to see it again, it’s better to sell it.”

Yale also secretly thought in his heart that if the stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’ was sold, Linley’s reputation would spread, and Linley’s status would rise. This was also a great thing. So Yale didn’t insist on lending Linley gold coins anymore.

“Good, good.”

Ostoni said excitedly, “Linley you can rest assured, this stone sculpture of yours, our guild hall won’t charge a single gold coin as a handling fee.”

“I need to get the gold coins for the auction site within seven days.”

Linley directly stated his request.

Ostuni said confidently, “Don’t worry, from tomorrow onwards, our Proulx Hall will arrange a five-day exhibition and spread the news of this ‘Awakening Dream’ stone sculpture to every tycoon. On the seventh day, we will conduct a public auction.”

Linley nodded.

“Boss Yale. Let’s go.”

Upon formally handing over the stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’ to the Proulx Guild Hall. Linley felt as though there was something missing in his heart, but Linley felt that he was a little more relaxed.

The hall of the Proulx Guild Hall.

Count Juno would come to the Proulx Hall almost every morning, first enjoying the works in the General Exhibition Hall, then enjoying the works in the ‘Masters’ Exhibition Hall’ and the ‘Masters’ Exhibition Hall’. However, when Count Juno entered the Guild Hall, he found ……

“Hehe, why are there quite a few people gathered there in the Masters’ Exhibition Hall?”

Count Juno was a bit strange.

There were always so many exhibits in the Masters’ Exhibition Hall. After a long time. Naturally the number of people looking at it would be less. Unless a certain master had a new work appear. Only then would the master’s exhibition hall be a little more lively.

“Could there be a new work by a master?”

Count Juno’s heart warmed up and he immediately walked towards the master’s exhibition hall.

It was only a little more than eight o’clock in the morning, so it was reasonable that there were very few people in the Proulx Guild Hall, but dozens of people had already gathered in the masters’ exhibition hall. And these dozens of people were all looking in awe at the exhibit in the center of the Master’s Exhibition Hall.

Next to this exhibit, there were eighteen powerful Earth warriors protecting it.

“The attraction is so strong? Which master’s new work?”

Count Juno squeezed his way to the front and took a closer look.

Count Juno’s eyes immediately glazed over, staring at this large stone sculpture in front of him for a split second. Count Juno seemed to see five living people. The one that caused people to fall in love, the cute one, the shy one, the delicate and touching one, and the cold and desperate one.

Count Juno was immersed in that marvelous feeling for a while. He only came to his senses.

“A divine work, a patriarchal work!”

Count Juno immediately exclaimed in his heart.

With Count Juno’s appreciation history of over a hundred years. He naturally felt that this stone sculpture was shocking to the soul, but when Count Juno carefully watched and tasted this work, Count Juno’s eyes lit up, “Isn’t this style of carving that of that genius of the Ernst College of Magic, Linley?”

From the carving style alone, Count Juno could tell the author of the carving.

Count Juno was familiar with Linley because he was the one who had bought the three pieces that Linley had first placed in the Proulx Guild Hall. Afterwards, Linley’s works had been placed in the ‘masters’ exhibition hall’, and one work was worth nearly six thousand gold coins.

The magic genius of Ernst Academy was only seventeen years old.

Count Juno had made him over ten thousand gold coins from his first transaction alone. Naturally Count Juno paid a lot of attention to this Linley.

“Sure enough, it’s him.”

Count Juno looked at the lower left corner of the stone carving and saw that there was indeed the word ‘Linley’.

On the other side of the stone carving, there was an introduction, mainly introducing Linley – “The author of this stone carving, ‘Linley’, is seventeen years old and graduated from the Ernst College of Magic, and now at the age of seventeen Linley is already a level seven dual system magician. Lin Lei is already a level seven dual system magician, he is the absolute number one magical genius on the entire Yulan continent, and even amongst the tens of thousands of years of history on the Yulan continent, Lin Lei is also the second magical genius in history.”

“However, Linley not only has such achievements in the field of magic, his achievements in the field of stone carving are even greater, at the age of seventeen, this ‘Awakening Dream’ stone carving completely has the kind of soul of a Grandmaster’s work, especially since this work is a giant stone carving, the price is even more immeasurable. Adding to the fact that his work is a super magical genius who is only seventeen years old, the value of this ‘Dream Awakening’ stone sculpture can be imagined.”

“We at the Proulx Guild are honored to have received authorization from Linley for this work to be exhibited for five days, and on the 421st, that is, after the exhibition we at the Proulx Guild will conduct a public auction.”

When Count Juno saw this introduction, he understood – “I’m afraid the nobles and tycoons of the Yulan Continent are going to have their hearts set on it.”

Earl Juno also knew very well that this work was definitely not something that could be purchased by a character of his level.

“A level seven dual system magician? Seventeen years old?”

Seeing this introduction, Count Juno also sighed in his heart.

At the same time, Juno’s admiration for this ‘Linley’ grew.

For a person to be able to achieve such accomplishments in two fields at the same time, that was definitely worthy of admiration.

“This stone sculpture, at the level of the work should also catch up to the work of a patriarch. Coupled with the huge size …… especially the stone carving author, or a seventeen year old, or the second magic genius in the history of the entire Yulan Continent. It seems that a heavenly price is going to appear.”

Count Juno already had expectations in his heart.

“April 21st!”

Count Juno was somewhat looking forward to that day.

As time passed, there were more and more people in this ‘Master’s Showroom’, and many of the super rich and powerful people residing in the Holy Capital quickly learned of this matter. ……

Ostoni’s office.

“Please tell His Majesty Wilder that I really can’t make a decision on this matter. If His Majesty he really wants to get this stone sculpture, please also come and buy it on the twenty-first day.”

Ostoni sent a king’s envoy of the kingdom away then.

Only when that envoy left did Ostoni’s face sink.

“Joke, just bidding one million gold coins and wanting to directly purchase this stone sculpture, what a dream, yesterday His Majesty ‘Clyde’ of the Finlay Kingdom even sent someone to bid three million gold coins!”

Only three days into the exhibition, there were already more than a dozen big shots who wanted to purchase this stone sculpture in advance.

“On the twenty-first, I’m afraid that a truly heavenly price will appear.”

Ostoni secretly said in his heart.
