Episode 3 – The Devil Beast Mountain Range Chapter 26 – Purple in the Night Wind (Next)
In the late afternoon, the four brothers of Dormitory 1987 walked along the quiet roadway of Ernst College, casually gossiping about the events of the past two months.
“So tough?”
Reno was shocked just as soon as he lifted Linley’s short shirt, and couldn’t help but hold his breath when he saw the hideous wounds on Linley’s abdominal muscles like earthworms. George beside him was also silent for a moment, only Yale grinned, “Haha, you guys have seen too little, haven’t you, when I was a kid I’ve seen ones even more vicious than this.”
“Boss Yale, really?”
Reno said in amazement.
Yale smiled proudly and said, “Of course it’s true, and I’ve seen a lot of it, like killing prisoners, and watching real people fight with magical beasts empty-handed. When a real person kills a magical beast, there’s a group of rich people around to watch, and it’s a bloody scene.”
Linley listened to what Yale said, and in his heart, he could completely imagine that scene.
“It’s still the academy that’s good.”
George sighed.
Linley also nodded his head in agreement, nowadays in the evening, on the quiet roads of the academy one could often see pairs of men and women walking together, either holding hands with each other or sitting together on magical beasts, relaxing in the middle of the academy.
“Right, Boss Yale, aren’t you going to accompany your girlfriend at night, why don’t you go today?”
Reno suddenly said.
Yale was full of concern and said, “Girlfriend? Today, my brother came back from the Beast Mountain Range after nine deaths, and I’m still accompanying my girlfriend? Reynolds ah, remember, brother as hand and foot, that woman is clothes. It’s just for fun.”
Reno immediately had a look of contempt.
“Linley!”
Suddenly a surprised voice came from the distance.
Linley and the other four couldn’t help but turn their heads to look, only to see a tall, beautiful woman with long, flowing golden hair cheerfully run over, running in front of Linley and saying in surprise, “Linley, you’re back from the magical beast mountain range, it’s really great, you’ve been gone for two months this time, I’ve been worried to death, did you hurt anywhere?”
“Delia, I’m fine.”
Linley replied with a smile.
Delia was also someone Linley had known since he had first entered the Ernst Academy, and the two of them had a very good relationship, and when he was with Delia, Linley felt like he could completely relax without the slightest mental burden. It was as if he was with his three good brothers.
“Delia, uncle’s carriage is still outside, don’t waste time.”
An icy voice rang out.
Linley raised his head to look, only to see that the young man in the academy robes was standing in the distance, precisely Delia’s older brother, one of the two great geniuses of the Ernst Academy, ‘Dixie’, the academy robes on Dixie’s body were very neat and tidy, without a single stain. The entire person’s pair of eyes were also clear.
“Oh.”
Delia answered with some disappointment, then looked at Linley, “Linley, father told my brother and I to go back, the carriage is still waiting outside, so I’ll leave first.”
“Okay, Delia, come back and we’ll talk again.”
Linley said with a smile.
“En, bye.”
Delia was clearly disappointed that she didn’t have the time to chat with Linley for a little longer, and Dixie walked over in the distance, just glancing at Delia before Delia walked towards Dixie. Instead, Dixie looked towards Linley: “Linley, I heard that you entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range for the trial, congratulations on your successful trial.”
Linley was stunned.
This Dixie was actually talking to himself?
Dixie’s indifference was very well known in all of Ernst College. People in general felt pressure when they were with Dixie, especially when those clear eyes stared at someone, that kind of psychological pressure could make the other person feel broken.
“Oh, thanks.”
Linley replied.
Dixie nodded slightly before leading her sister Delia towards the entrance of the academy. ……
The next morning, in the middle of the Holy Capital’s ‘Finlay City’ Proulx Guild Hall.
“Ah, Linley, please have a seat.”
Ostoni said warmly, “Yale, you few sit down and rest as well.”
Ostoni took a closer look at Linley and marveled, “Linley, I have to say, you are truly a genius, a super genius! A youngster of only fifteen years old, able to become a genius student of the number one magic academy in the entire Yulan continent. Not only that, but your skill level in stone carving has reached an extremely high realm.”
“What you have achieved is nothing short of a miracle.”
“Not to mention becoming a magical genius, even in the circle of stone carving masters, in this day and age, those who are able to be invited by the Ernst Academy to set up an independent exhibition room in the Proulx Hall are usually over forty years old, and you are the youngest among them. Even in history, there are only two supreme geniuses that can be compared to you. But what makes you different from them is …… that you are not only a stone sculpture genius, but also a magic genius. Oooh …… genius ah.”
With these words of praise, Ostoni made Linley a little embarrassed.
“Ostoni, don’t waste your time, hurry up and get this done, our four brothers still have to go out and have fun.”
Yale urged.
Only then did Ostoni look like he was in a daze, and hurriedly took out a silver magic crystal card from a folder next to him, and handed it to Linley with a smile, “Linley, this silver magic crystal card is specially customized for us at the Proulx Guild by the Four Nations Gold Bank, the silver magic crystal card represents you as a stone carving expert, and in the future, all gold coins from the sale of stone carvings, we’ll pass them directly into your magic crystal card. ”
“Right now this silver magic crystal card is an ownerless card, so you can first identify it with your fingerprints. You can use it in the future.”
Ostuni handed the magic crystal card to Linley and inquired quietly, “Linley, I wonder if you brought a stone sculpture over this time?”
Linley nodded slightly, “Brought, three pieces in total.”
The smile on Ostoni’s face suddenly grew even wider. ……
At night, amongst the elegant rooms of Aqua Paradise, only Linley and George were drinking and laughing with two women, while Reno and Yale had long since entered the room with their arms around their beauties.
“The Boss and the Fourth, but really.”
Linley drank a glass of wine and said to George, who was talking animatedly with the girl next to him, “Old Two, I’m a little dizzy, go out and blow off some steam.”
“Okay.”
George answered, and then continued chatting away with the girl next to him.
Linley, on the other hand, went downstairs and left Aqua Paradise, and as soon as he stepped out of the noisy Aqua Paradise and was then blown by the cool wind of the late night, Linley felt his mind clear. Compared to Aqua Paradise, the outside was obviously much more tranquil, so Linley casually strolled along the roads of this Finlay City.
The night breeze was cool and pleasant.
There were also some noble mansions along the streets of Dry Strand Road, but compared to Greenleaf Road, some of the mansions on Dry Strand Road were obviously a level lower, and on the balcony of a small two-story building, Alice was in front of the balcony feeling the coolness of the night breeze.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Alice couldn’t help but think of Linley who had saved his life.
In a split second of life and death, in her moment of despair, it was Linley who had come down from the sky to directly kill the Bloodthirsty War Hog and save her life. At that moment of despair, the shock of Linley descending from the sky was undoubtedly great for her, and even left an imprint in her mind that was hard to erase.
“Big brother Linley is just a bit more silent, but he’s quite handsome when he talks about magic.”
Alice couldn’t help but have a small smile on her face as she thought about it.
Suddenly Alice found that in the street in front of the downstairs there was actually a silhouette, that silhouette was very familiar, after carefully recognizing it, Alice’s face revealed a look of surprise, and she hurriedly waved her hand and shouted, “Big Brother Linley, Big Brother Linley!”
Linley, who was enjoying the tranquility of the night and strolling down the street, couldn’t help but look up in confusion when he heard someone shouting at him.
On the balcony of the small building in the distance, the figure in purple was so conspicuous, if a genie under the moonlight, the purple clothes slowly fluttering under the night wind, and similarly fluttering was the long, flowing hair. In a trance, Linley seemed to smell the scent of Alice’s hair again.
That flavor, it was that charming.
“Alice.”
Linley couldn’t help but walk towards that small building.
