Episode 1 – Rings of the Coiled Dragon Chapter 20 – Earth System Magic (Up)

The excitement in Linley’s heart was like a volcano erupting, and he was thrilled and excited all at once.

“Grandpa Delin, you can really teach me to learn magic?”

Linley looked at old Delin with an excitement that was hard to contain.

When Derlin Corvette saw Linley like this, his white beard curled, “Linley, your Grandpa Derlin is a Holy Realm Magician, even if you don’t have good talent, I can still let you learn magic. Of course …… if the talent is low, your achievements will also be low.”

Derrin Corvette’s words would definitely be shocked if heard by other magicians.

Among the circle of magicians, talent that was the most important, without talent one could not become a magician. This was recognized by many!

However, Derinkelwalt dared to say that even if the talent was not good, he would still be able to cultivate a magician out of it. This might be bragging if someone else said it, but the one who said it was a Saint Domain Magus from more than five thousand years ago!

“Low talent, low achievement?”

Linley’s heart shook slightly.

The reason he himself wanted to become a Magus was so that he could recreate the glory of the Baruch family, and even if he couldn’t reach that level, being able to fulfill the wish of the successive patriarchs of the Baruch family over the centuries – to bring back the treasure of the family’s legacy – being able to achieve that would be enough.

But to do all that, strength was important.

“Linley, don’t worry, your magical talent hasn’t been tested yet, who knows if it’s high or low? Maybe your talent will be very good.”

Derrin Corvette stroked his white beard and smiled.

Grandpa Delin’s composure also caused Linley’s heart to settle.

“Grandpa Delin, how will the magical talent be tested?”

Linley couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“Testing for magical talent is quite simple.”

Derlin Corvette’s words had just left his mouth when suddenly – only to hear footsteps outside the door, Linley couldn’t help but panic when he heard them, and hurriedly whispered to Derlin Corvette, “Grandpa Derlin, quickly hide, someone’s coming.”

It would be terrible if this Saint Realm Magus of the Puan Empire from more than five thousand years ago was discovered.

Derlin Corvette, however, smiled faintly and didn’t move at all.

“Grandpa Delin-”

Linley was a little anxious.

“Creak.”

The door to the bedroom room opened, only to see the butler, Shiri, glance towards the room and see that Linley had actually woken up, and couldn’t help but smile, “Young Master Linley, I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon. Young Master Linley, are you feeling better now?”

Linley immediately squeezed out a small smile and nodded, “Thank you Grandpa Healy for caring, I’m much better now.”

Linley’s heart was in a great hurry, and he couldn’t help but look a few times in Delinquent’s direction, where Delinquent was still standing with a smile, “What’s going on with this Grandpa Delin? Alas, it’s going to be discovered, and it’s going to be troublesome to explain.”

“Young Master Linley, it’s time for lunch, since you’re all awake, let’s go eat together.”

Butler Hiri said with a smile.

“Oh, got it.”

Linley glanced in Delinquent’s direction again, his heart wondering, “What’s going on, looking at Grandpa Hiri, it’s as if he can’t see Grandpa Delin at all.”

The butler, Shiri, saw that Linley had looked towards an empty place beside the bed several times and couldn’t help but inquire in confusion, “Young Master Linley, what are you looking at beside the bed for? Did something fall down? I’ll help you get it.”

“Nope, nothing.”

Immediately, Linley climbed up from the bed in a single bound, “Grandpa Healy, let’s go eat lunch.”

Although the butler, Hiri, felt that Linley’s reaction was a little strange, he didn’t think much of it, so he nodded with a smile. Linley put on his clothes and shoes, and still looked uneasily towards Derinkelwalt. And with a smile at Linley at this time, Derinkelwalt directly moved and disappeared out of thin air within Linley’s field of vision.

“Into the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.”

Linley felt very clearly this time that there was a soul spirit in the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.

Unlike in the past, after recognizing his master with a drop of blood, Linley’s knowledge of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon had clearly risen a level.

“Linley, there’s no need to speak, I can hear you if you speak directly to me in your heart. You are the master of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, and I am the soul of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, we can easily communicate in our minds.”

Drinkwater’s voice rang out in the center of Linley’s mind.

This surprised Linley.

“Grandpa Delin?”

Linley attempted to speak mentally.

“I hear you.”

Delinquent Corvette’s voice also sounded in Linley’s mind.

Linley immediately felt a surge of joy in his heart, but he was so focused on communicating with Derin Corvette that he didn’t pay attention to his feet and tripped over the threshold. The butler at the front, Hiri, dropped his head and said with a smile, “Young Master Linley, walk carefully.”

“Got it, Grandpa Hiri.”

Linley replied with a smile.

In his mind, he excitedly chatted with Derinkelwalt sentence by sentence while Linley walked into the living room and sat down. Today’s lunch was still relatively sumptuous, and there was also a fragrant roasted sheep, and when Hogg saw Linley arrive, he smiled and said, “Linley, sit down.”

With that, Huo Ge personally tore off a roasted leg of lamb for Linley and handed it to him.

“Thank you father.”

Linley’s heart was a little surprised, it was economically difficult in the family, so the usual meals were very ordinary. Today there was actually a roasted lamb.

Linley didn’t know …… that in the process of a large number of stones descending on the town of Wushan, not only people, but also many livestock were smashed to death, and today not only the Baruch family, but also some civilian homes were very hard to eat also more extravagant.

“Grandpa Delin, just now how did Grandpa Shiri not see you?”

Linley inquired to Delinquent in his heart.

“Linley, I have to tell you, other than you, other people can’t see me at all. This is because the current me exists in the form of a soul, and souls are void …… eyes can’t see them at all. And you are the owner of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, which is what allows you to see me.”

Derinkelwalt replied delicately.

Linley’s mind drifted off.

Previously, Grandpa Delin had said that he himself had died long ago, and that what existed now was merely a soul.

“Grandpa Delin, then won’t you be able to appear by my side at any time in the future?”

Lin De said with joy in his heart.

As soon as Linde’s words fell, Linley saw the white-haired, white-bearded old man with moon white robes appear quite suddenly beside him, none other than Derlin Corvette. And at this moment, Hogg, his butler Hilly, and his younger brother Walden were all eating their lunch and talking, and hadn’t felt Derinkelwalt’s appearance in the slightest.

“Wow…”

It was one thing to hear it, but seeing with his own eyes that a group of people at the dinner table couldn’t detect Grandpa Derin’s presence, Linley was still amazed at the bottom of his heart.

“It’s not like everyone can’t sense my presence, as long as they’re comparable to me on the soul level, they can sense my presence. Of course …… as long as I hide in the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, others will definitely not be able to discover it.”

Delinquent’s voice resounded in Linley’s mind.

“A soul level comparable to you, Grandpa Delin?”

Linley ate with his mouth as he exchanged words with Delinquent Corvette in his mind.

“One whose soul level is comparable to mine should be a Saint realm powerhouse, and only a Saint realm powerhouse can barely sense my existence. The prerequisite is …… that I appear outside of the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, and if I enter inside the Ring of the Coiled Dragon, it’s impossible for them to discover me.”

Drinkwater said with a smile.

Linley nodded in his heart, while grabbing the roasted leg of lamb with one hand and eating it with a large mouthful.

“Linley, eat slower.”

Seeing how fast Linley was going, Hogg couldn’t help but say with a smile.

Linley smiled at his father, but ate extra fast. In a moment a large roasted leg of lamb was eaten cleanly, Linley comfortably burped, then wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin, stood up straight away and said, “Father, Grandpa Shiri, I’m done eating, I feel my head is still a little dizzy, so I’ll go back and rest first. Walden, goodbye.”

Linley was the first to finish eating.

“Head still a little dizzy? Then hurry back and rest.”

Hogg said in a hurry.

The scene that had happened in the morning had shaken Hogg to the core. At that moment, he had even thought that Linley would be smashed to death, and after this experience, Hogg’s attitude towards Linley was significantly better.

“Brother, goodbye.”

The tiger-headed little Walden waved at Linley with his little hands full of oil.
