Episode 7: The Heavens Turned Upside Down Chapter 19: Holding Your Breath
Linley quietly left and returned to his own courtyard.
On the way back to his courtyard from outside the walls of Clyde’s mansion. Linley’s brows had been locked. The news he had just received had already caused Linley to feel that things were in trouble.
“Linley. What have you decided to do?” Derinkelwalt had come out of the Ring of Coiled Dragons.
There was still a distance between Linley’s courtyard and Clyde’s mansion. Derinkelwalt, a peak Saint realm powerhouse from more than five thousand years ago. There was no worry that that Lord Falling Leaf would discover him.
“Me?” Linley clenched his fists. “Endure, I can only endure.”
Delinquent nodded approvingly, Delinquent had watched Linley grow up along the way. To Linley. Derinkelwalt loved him like a grandson.
He also didn’t want Linley to be too impulsive.
“Linley. Don’t worry.”
Derinkelwalt stroked his beard and said confidently, “That what’s-her-name Falling Leaf Land, I’m afraid that he’s just going along with Clyde, he definitely won’t be with Clyde for too long, in the past, Clyde was the king of a kingdom, and his status was much lower than that of Falling Leaf Land. And nowadays, Clyde …… even the kingdom of Finlay has been destroyed, and he is even less important. And according to our understanding. The new holy capital of the Illuminati’s choice. Should not be Hess City. This Falling Leaf won’t stay in and Hess City for too long either.”
Linley nodded.
The old holy capital, ‘Finlay City’, had already been destroyed by the armies of the Wraith Mountain Range. It had become a ruin. The people of the Illuminati would never allow such a thing to happen again. Naturally …… they wouldn’t set this new holy capital in Hess City, the closest place to the border between the two sides.
After all. The king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, ”Di Lin”, had said. The magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range might occupy half of the Holy Alliance’s territory. And now it’s only one-third. If it’s half of the territory. Hess City is also to be included.
The Illuminati’s ‘Hastings’ and the others simply didn’t have the confidence to resist ‘Tilling’, who had reached the divine level.
Although, the Illuminati also had hidden power that they hadn’t brought out. However, once it was brought out, it would really be able to fight against Di Lin. The end would only be the destruction of the Illuminati’s ten thousand years of savings.
Hastings didn’t have the guts to fight.
“Wait.”
Linley took a deep breath. Trying to keep himself calm, now that he knew Clyde’s whereabouts, as long as he didn’t make any mistakes, Clyde wouldn’t be able to escape.
In a tavern not far away across from the mansion that Shaq had purchased. This tavern was also the location where the two servants hired by Linley were often here to spy on Shaq and the others.
On that day.
Wearing a very ordinary sweatshirt with broken sleeves. Linley’s pectoral muscles naturally appeared. The strong and powerful arms are showing its powerful strength. Behind his back was a heavy sword.
Heavy sword warrior! Linley’s dress was very common. Because warriors emphasize physical exercise. Most powerful warriors had strong bodies. There were even more who used heavy swords.
“Boss, two plates of roasted meat. Two bottles of Matador.”
Linley’s low voice rang out.
“Please sit down first, sir.”
That waiter saw Linley’s large half and was incredibly respectful, and Linley directly selected a seat near the inside. And that seat could completely see the scene in front of Clyde’s mansion through the doors and windows.
The attendant immediately pulled back the seat and respectfully allowed Linley to take his seat.
“Please wait a moment, sir.”
The waiter said with a smile. At this time, another waiter had already come up with two bottles of ‘Matador’. Matador was an extremely strong liquor that was the favorite of some powerful warriors.
The waiter stole a glance at the heavy sword on Linley’s shoulder and was secretly shocked, ”Oh, Lord. A heavy sword that thick and that long, looking at the color it shouldn’t be ordinary steel, it’s estimated to weigh several hundred pounds, this gentleman is truly a powerful warrior.”
As waiters in the tavern, they would secretly observe every customer when they were bored, and in the long run. They had developed a keen eye, and the waiter had decided that Linley was a powerful warrior from his relaxed appearance and the style of his heavy sword.
Not far from Linley, the ‘boss’ of the two brothers hired by Linley immediately walked over.
“You bring some roasted meat back to eat with Bebe.”
Linley didn’t wait for the other to speak. He directly commanded. “Yes, my lord.”
The ‘oldest’ of those two brothers didn’t have anything important to do. Immediately, on Linley’s orders, he brought some roasted meat back.
And then Linley sat down in the tavern and quietly drank.
Linley drank slowly, a bottle of wine could last him two or three hours, and he drank slowly. Linley was also paying attention to the front of that Clyde mansion at the same time.
It was nighttime.
At the side of the tavern there were minstrels singing at the top of their voices, and the entire interior of the tavern was noisy as well, with many warriors shouting and making a scene -Because of this catastrophe, the city of Hess was bustling like never before.
Even in this tavern can see a lot of powerful warriors, most of the warriors are very bold, one by one, even compared to the wrist strength.
“Ten thousand gold coins, the winner gets ten thousand gold coins.”
The people who hosted the match beside them all immediately roared loudly.
For quite a few powerful warriors who had fled the land, ten thousand gold coins could only be said to not be a small amount, yet it was not considered to be that huge.
“Come on, this ten thousand gold coins is mine.”
A two-meter-two tall man with a tiger’s back and waist, his arms were strong enough to catch up with the thighs of ordinary people, and he sat down.
“Hmph, I’ll compare myself to you.”
Another red-haired man with a figure similar to Linley’s walked over, and the two of them immediately stretched out their arms, and when they clasped their hands together, the muscles in their arms clearly began to grave up.
One by one, the men holding the large wine glasses next to them called out loudly.
“This kind of day is also quite fun.”
Linley knew that waiting for Falling Leaves and the other ascetics to leave was very boring. Who knew how long Falling Leaves and the others would stay? One day. Two days. Or ten days and a half months? Linley also looked around with interest.
“These two aren’t low in strength, at the very least, they’re at the level of a rank six warrior.”
Linley nodded secretly. Today’s Hess City really was full of experts.
Those two men’s muscles graved up. More than ten thousand pounds of strength was advancing.
“Drink!” The short brown-haired man whose arms had caught up with the thickness of an average person’s thighs shouted violently, his arm sinews twisting up completely like earthworms, making people suspect. These veins could collapse at any moment in general.
The red-haired man also had a red face. It did not budge at all.
“Cackle. Creak~~” The table that the two of them were holding on to with their elbows also began to tremble.
This tavern table and chairs are all made of iron, sturdy. Moreover, the average powerful warrior’s arm wrestling. The precise manipulation of the power can completely achieve the hanging wrist. At this moment, even the power to affect the table. Obviously two people have reached the limit.
“Haha. Come on. Harold!” “Harold, shit. Harder.”
“Penis. Don’t lose for me.”
Some of the drinking warriors around yelled one after another. Gradually, the one called ‘Harold’ had a tall body. The warrior with extremely thick arms had some advantage, and the red-haired warrior was immediately anxious to make a desperate effort.
“Drink!” That Harold bellowed. He fiercely pressed down his opponent’s wrist and slammed it hard on the tabletop. It even smashed concave marks on the steel-made tabletop.
“Haha, I won.”
Harold laughed out loud.
“Fuck, Lao Er dodge, I’ll do it, this stupid big guy still wants to win this ten thousand gold coins, humph.”
A one-eyed red-haired warrior walked over.
The tavern floor was noisy at night. The warriors were roaring loudly, and the minstrels who sang loudly by the side of the tavern were also singing hard for the tavern’s small amount of gold coins.
The bards were also singing hard for the little gold they got from the tavern.
However, in this tavern, there were still three or four people who were very quiet. Some of the surrounding warriors were also very sensible not to disturb. These people who hang out outside, are some eyesight, know which people can be messed with. Who can’t be messed with.
The next morning, Linley had just sat down not long ago.
“Eh?” Linley suddenly caught a glimpse of an acquaintance, Lord Falling Leaves.
The thin, beggar-like Lord Lu Ye was being followed by two barefooted ascetics in sackcloth as he walked out of Clyde’s residence and left.
“Left? But only left the fallen leaves as well as the two ascetics.”
Linley wondered to himself, he knew. This time, there were a large number of ascetics. There were also many experts among them. Only three people had come out now.
“Keep waiting.”
Linley gently drank a mouthful of wine. Continue waiting.
Clyde sent off Falling Leaves and the other three at the entrance with Shaq and the others.
“Father, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
Shaq tapped his head and said, “Father, Lord Linley, he was with us on the ground some days ago, only to leave some days earlier, having set off for the north.”
“Linley.”
Clyde almost shrieked at the sound of that.
This Linley. But it had almost killed him twice.
“What is it, Father?” Shaq said suspiciously. In Shaq’s opinion. It wasn’t that big of a deal. After all, now that the Finlay Kingdom had been destroyed. They, the Finlay royal family, were only famous, so it would be strange for people Linley to continue to be loyal to them.
“He’s with you. Does he know about this place?” Clyde immediately inquired.
“Knows, he even stayed here for the night.”
Shaq said cluelessly.
Clyde’s heart trembled, “This Linley. Must be right here in Hess City.”
Clyde knew that Linley wanted to kill him. It definitely wouldn’t simply leave the ground.
“It’s fine, there’s still such a group of ascetics living here now.”
Clyde consoled himself.
“However. When the ascetics leave, I’ll leave together.”
Clyde made a decision in his mind. Only with these ascetics. He had a sense of security in his heart.
Clyde carefully looked around in all eight directions.
He even had a feeling. Linley was watching him from all around.
A day passed. Two days passed …… Linley, in addition to going back to sleep late at night, usually stayed in this tavern. There was also once an ungrateful person who came to find Lin Lei trouble, and was kicked by Lin Lei from inside the tavern to outside the tavern. No one disturbed Lin Lei anymore.
Six days had passed in a flash.
In these six days. Only Falling Leaves and the two ascetics had left, the other ascetics had stayed.
In the Clydelands mansion.
“Why are you all in such a hurry to leave?” Clyde looked at the three representatives of the ascetic land in front of him. He persuaded them.
One of the old men with long golden hair said indifferently, “Clyde, we must head to the New Holy Capital. I’m sorry for disturbing you by staying here these days, so we’ll leave first.”
These three ascetic representatives simply ignored Clyde’s retention and directly wanted to leave.
“My lords. You guys are going to the New Holy Capital? I also want to go. Why don’t we go together.”
Clyde immediately said, while instructing his son Shaq. “Shaq, quickly prepare your things. Set off immediately.”
Clyde didn’t feel safe at all at the moment.
Alone, a Caesar. Under Linley and that perverted magical beast. Clyde didn’t think Caesar could absolutely protect him.
“With us?” The blonde old man frowned.
This time, they were setting out. Instead of traveling to the New Holy Capital, they actually had a secret mission.
“No, there are strict orders within the Holy See.”
The blonde old man said in a cold voice.
The other two also coldly glanced at Clyde, “If you follow us. The result you can think of yourself.”
Saying this, these three people just left. Leaving only the dumbfounded Clyde.
Clyde did not expect. This group of ascetics actually all refused to take themselves along.
“My lords.”
Clyde chased out the door of the living room, but the fifty or so ascetics had already walked out of the entrance of the mansion one by one, and none of them were good enough to look back at him.
Clyde thought about it. He didn’t dare to follow them, don’t look at how benevolent the Church of Light’s teachings are. However, when the real hand is absolutely no mercy, now Clyde for the Church of Light is not much use. Those ascetics definitely dared to kill him directly.
“Father.”
Shaq came over. Looking at Clyde.
Clyde frowned. Contemplating for a moment. Directly commanded, “Leave through the back door, we’re leaving now. Yes, it’s now, wasting one more minute is dangerous.”
