Episode 3 – The Devil Beast Mountain Range Chapter 25 – Purple in the Night Wind (Up)

The capital city of the Divine Alliance’s Finlay Kingdom, ‘Finlay City’, Greenleaf Road, many luxurious mansions gathered here, and in front of one of them, there were a dozen or so people gathered together.

“We, the Debus family, thank you Linley for your help, if it wasn’t for you this time, I’m afraid that this child, Karan, would really have to suffer a great loss.”

A silver-haired old man with shiny combed hair smiled and said to Linley, beside this silver-haired old man was Karan, Alice, Tony, and Nia were also beside him, and behind them was a group of servants from the Debus family.

The silver-haired old man turned around and nodded to one of the servants behind him, and that servant took out a yellow pouch from his bosom.

The silver haired old man took the yellow pouch and handed it to Linley and said with a smile, “This is a hundred gold coins, although it’s not much, it also represents the intentions of our Debus family, I hope that you can accept it, Linley.”

“No need, I’m just raising my hand.”

Linley said politely, “I’ll leave first then.”

The silver-haired old man didn’t insist, smilingly watching Linley leave.

“Tony, you three should go home as well, your parents must be extremely worried as well.”

The silver-haired old man said with a smile, and that Alice, Nia, and Tony, after saying goodbye to Karan, one by one, all headed towards their own homes.

When Karan stepped into the living room with the silver-haired old man, the silver-haired old man’s face instantly turned cold and said in a chilling voice, “Kneel down!”

Karan immediately ‘thumped’ his knee on the ground and directly knelt down, saying, “Second Grandpa, I was wrong, this time I didn’t check out the dangers of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range before venturing into the Demonic Beast Mountain Range with my three good friends, please chastise Second Grandpa.”

“Hmph, taking the risk?”

The silver-haired old man’s cold gaze swept a glance at Kahlan, “Kahlan, you’re already an adult and the future heir of our Debus Family, how could you make such a retarded mistake? How can the dangers of the Devil Beast Mountain Range be beyond your imagination? Taking an unauthorized risk without reporting to the family, hmph, it’s better to leave your punishment to your father to decide, I just have to remind you, if you still do things so brainlessly, the family will be ruined even if you are handed over in the future.”

Karan lowered his head to listen, not daring to speak.

The Debus family, in the entire Finlay Kingdom is also ranked in the top three, the reason why the Debus family is powerful is not because of what high position, but because the Debus family, is the entire Yulan continent, one of the three major chambers of commerce of the ”Dawson Chamber of Commerce” in the Finlay Kingdom of the collaborators.

The Dawson Chamber of Commerce, rich as a nation, had business all over the entire Yulan Continent.

The financial power and force of any of the three major chambers of commerce on the Yulan Continent was terrifying. Even in the Finlay Kingdom, there were many families that wanted to cooperate with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, being able to cooperate with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce was like getting on a giant chariot.

The Debus family, to be able to pull on the relationship with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, that is also very remarkable.

After all, the attitude towards the three major chambers of commerce is that the two major alliances, the four major empires are also pulling together the main.

Leaving Finlay City, Linley embarked on his journey to the Ernst Academy, Bebe was also looking around on Linley’s shoulder, and Drinkwater was also walking alongside Linley.

“Grandpa Delin, have you ever felt that this world is a little scary.”

Linley said in soul communication.

Derrin Corvette nodded, but didn’t say much, only listening quietly.

“I didn’t feel anything when I went to Finlay City in the past, but this time when I came back from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I found out a lot, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range that kind of cruelty, that kind of selection of the best of the best is naked, it’s bloody, and there’s no disguise whatsoever.”

“However, the nobles, magicians, and powerful warriors in Finlay City are all well-dressed and treat people courteously. The entire Finlay City seems so prosperous, yet the hierarchy of Finlay City is so strict and cold.”

“Even in the law, the rights of the nobles greatly exceed those of the commoners. Although Finlay City is prosperous, and there is constant laughter. But the rules lurking inside are much more cumbersome than the Magic Beast Mountain Range. In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there is no distinction between nobility and inferiority, there is only a distinction between strength and weakness.”

Linley gradually recognized this world at this time.

In this world, the great nobles were at the upper end and the commoners were exploited. No matter how much of a gentleman the nobles behaved and how hypocritical they acted, yet they couldn’t hide the hierarchical nature of the entire world. The only way to have status was to become a great warrior, or a great magician.

If you don’t work hard, you are eliminated.

“Human society, which is more complicated than the world in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, they are the ones who put the brutal competition in the Magical Beast Mountain Range in a gorgeous veneer. But sometimes, this magnificent veneer is very useful.”

Linley had a trace of disdain for those hypocritical nobles from the bottom of his heart.

From the cruelty of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to seeing the prosperity of Finlay City, this strong contrast had also caused Linley’s state of mind to change.

“You fear competition?”

Drinkwater suddenly said.

Linley grinned, “Fear? No, I love it. If there’s no competition in the world and all the days are mediocre, what’s the point, I like competition, I like exciting competition. Dancing on the tip of a knife, such days have passion.”

“Squeak,” Bebe beside him also barked twice cheerfully. ……

Stepped into the Ernst Academy.

Having entered the Devil Beast Mountain Range once and recognizing the sinister nature of human nature, Linley cherished that brotherly bond in the academy more and more, walking to the dormitory door but hearing voices coming from within – “Boss Yale, Linley hasn’t come back yet now, it won’t be dangerous for him to enter the Devil Beast Mountain Range, will it? ”

“Oldest four, shut the hell up, Oldest will definitely return safely, come on, let’s go eat-”

Yale raised his head and saw the silhouette in front of the courtyard door, his whole body froze, next to him, George and Reynolds also froze for a while, and then Yale, George and Reynolds all rushed over excitedly.

“Haha, Old Three, you’re finally back.”

Yale was the first to rush over and gave Linley a bear hug.

Reno also shouted loudly, “Wow, Linley, Boss Yale and George have been chanting about you every day, and worrying about you, so I’m sure I believe you’ll come back safely.”

“Old Four.”

George glared, “You were just worried that the oldest three would be in danger.”

“Me?”

Reno looked puzzled, “Did I say that?”

Linley looked at these three good brothers, his heart instantly warmed. Yale immediately said with a wave of his hand in bravado, “Alright, you two don’t need to talk nonsense, Oldest Three came back safely from the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, this is a great joy, let’s go, let’s go celebrate.”

“Old Two, Old Four.”

Linley said with a smile as well, “Let’s go, let’s have a good drink today, my treat.”

“Yikes.”

Reno glared, “Your treat?”

Yale laughed out loud, “Yes, Lao San’s treat, don’t forget, the other day the Proulx Guild sent over the invitation letter, those three pieces of Lao San’s were sold for more than four thousand gold coins, it’s time to rip him off.”

“An invitation letter from the Proulx Guild Hall?”

Linley was stunned.

Only then did Yale hasten to say, “Old Three, your stone carvings sold for a high price, and the Proulx Guild Hall has fully recognized your carving standards, so you’ve been invited to set up an independent exhibition room in the Proulx Guild Hall’s ‘Masters’ Exhibition Hall’, ah, I’ll go and take the invitation letter to you.”

Yale said and ran towards the interior of the dormitory.

Reynolds, on the other hand, said mysteriously to Linley, “Linley, you don’t know, ever since the Proulx Guild Hall’s people came over to the academy, the matter of you being invited to set up an independent exhibition room in the Proulx Guild Hall has spread throughout the entire academy, you’re a famous person.”

“Spread throughout the academy?”

Linley was a little bewildered, he himself had only just learned about it.

“Yes, I’m afraid that in the entire academy, you’re the last to know about this.”

George said smilingly as well.

“Linley, this is the invitation letter from that Proulx Guild.”

Yale ran out from within the dormitory holding a gold-encrusted white envelope.
