Episode 5 – Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 10 – Status

Linley looked towards the group of people who had rescued him, the black-robed old man at the head and the ‘ascetic’ next to him were both extremely strong. Otherwise, that ‘adjudicator’ of the Dark Cleric wouldn’t have just fled without even fighting.

The black-robed old man at the head gave off a gloomy feeling.

“Deputy Magistrate? This Illuminati has been passed down for so many years, and the internal system still hasn’t changed. This Deputy Inquisitor should be under the ‘Inquisition’.”

Drinkwater’s voice resounded in Linley’s mind, “In comparison, that ascetic is even more terrifying.”

An ascetic?

Linley couldn’t help but cast his gaze towards that ‘ascetic’.

The linen-clad, barefooted old man with long hair possessed an air of ancient simplicity, and when the ‘ascetic cultivator’ looked towards Linley, Linley even had the feeling of a spring breeze.

“A truly strong person.”

Linley said in his heart.

That black-robed old man looked towards Linley and squeezed out a rare smile on his face, “Linley, why don’t you just join us and return to the Sacred Capital first, and when you do, those people won’t dare to bother you.”

Finlay City, the Holy Capital of the Holy Alliance. The power that the Light Cleric had lurked in Finlay City, not only in the open, but also in the dark, was absolutely amazing. Whether it was the Dark Clerical Church or the four empires, I’m afraid that none of them would dare to make trouble in the Holy Capital.

In the middle of a mansion on Greenleaf Road in Finlay’s East City, Linley was currently talking to Yale in the living room about the matter of the Warblade ‘Slaughter’.

“Old Three, I’ve already sent someone to inquire, and that Lucas family’s patriarch isn’t willing to sell the Warblade ‘Slaughter’ at all, and according to him, their family isn’t short of money at all.”

Yale frowned and said, “I think. It should be better if you come out in person. Of course the prerequisite is that they know your identity.”

The second magical genius in the history of the Yulan Continent, in the future, it might even be a Holy Domain Magician, such a talented person, I’m afraid that even if the patriarch of the Lucas Family was stubborn, he would still give some face to the ground.

“Then I’ll pay a visit to this Lucas Family patriarch tonight.”

Linley was determined to get his hands on the battle knife ‘Slaughter’.

The family’s inherited treasure, how could it be passed down outside? What’s more, it was also his father’s greatest wish, the wish of the family’s generations of ancestors.

When Linley had left home for the Ernst Magic Academy, his father’s words were still ringing in his ears – ”Linley. Remember the wishes of our Baruch family forefathers over the centuries. Remember the shame of our Baruch family!”

“You’ll be at least a rank six magician after you graduate, and as long as you train seriously and hard, it won’t be hard to become a rank seven magician. Plus you are a dual system magician! A level seven dual system magician is definitely a big shot in the Finlay Kingdom, you’ll have complete certainty of reclaiming the family’s inherited treasure in the future, and if you fail to do so, even if I die. I will also not forgive you.” ……

“I even if I die. I will also not forgive you.”

Father was like a heavy hammer hitting Linley’s heart.

Linley didn’t dare to forget that as long as he had the ability, no matter what the cost, he himself had to bring back the Warblade ‘Slaughter’. This wasn’t just because of the family land, but also because of his own father.

“No matter what, it must be brought back.”

Linley made a decision in his heart.

If the soft ones didn’t work, then the hard ones would.

Of course, the family’s inherited treasures. It was better to come back openly and honestly. Try to be able to make the other party voluntarily hand it over.

“Boss. Why don’t we just step in. Just rob it directly.”

Bebe’s voice rang out in Linley’s mind.

Linley looked at Bebe curled up on his lap and couldn’t help but slap its little head, “Don’t you make trouble.”

Beibei couldn’t help but wrinkle his little nose. Humming, he lay down on Linley’s lap again and closed his eyes to sleep.

At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and a blue-robed middle-aged man walked in and respectfully said, “Young Master Yale, the minister of the Finlay Kingdom, ‘Kelvin’, is outside, and he wishes to meet Young Master Linley.”

“Kelivan, what kind of person?”

Yale said with a frown.

Yale was too lazy to pay attention to any ministers of the kingdom in general.

“Young master, aren’t you concerned about the Lucas family during this time? This Kelvin is also a part of the Lucas family.”

The blue-robed middle-aged man said with a smile, “Nowadays, the patriarch of the Lucas Family is none other than Kelivan’s eldest uncle.”

Yale’s eyes lit up, “Quickly let him in.”

“Old Three, it seems like getting back your family’s inherited treasure is going to be a lot less difficult.”

Yale looked at Linley with a smile.

Linley was also somewhat happy in his heart.

Linley also looked towards the doorway, and a moment later, he saw a man with curly blonde hair step into the hall with a smile. Seeing the two of them, Linley and Yale, the blonde curly-haired man immediately bowed humbly, “Kelvin, meet Young Master Yale, meet Young Master Linley.”

“Kelvin, what are you doing here looking for my brother?”

Yale asked rudely and directly.

Kelivan didn’t mind at all, smiling, “This time I’ve come with His Majesty’s invitation to Young Master Linley, Young Master Linley, I wonder if you’re willing to become a court magician of the Kingdom of Finlay, and His Majesty can also bestow upon you the title of Marquis, and even grant you a large territory.”

Linley smiled.

He remembered that the cardinal archbishop of the Church of Light’s land had once given him the conditions of his land – he could be in any of the kingdoms under the Holy Alliance, and could even be directly knighted as a ducal title. There was no need to do anything to enjoy all this.

“Kelvin, I can tell you that when I was at the Ernst Academy, the Lord Cardinal of the Illuminati Land personally invited my brother, giving conditions that were much higher than yours!”

Yale teased.

Kelivan smiled and continued, “The conditions are good, His Majesty’s intention is to have Young Master Linley stay in our Finlay Kingdom.”

The rights of the six kingdoms in the Sacred Alliance were also different, and if the Finlay Kingdom received Linley’s support, in the future, the position of the Finlay Kingdom’s royal family in the Sacred Alliance would become more and more secure.

After all,……

The Holy See was qualified to abolish the king of a kingdom, and could even directly destroy a royal family! The authority of the Holy See far exceeded the royal power.

It was also important for the royal family to have a strong reliance.

“Kelvin.”

Linley finally spoke.

Kelivan immediately bowed slightly, with a look of careful listening.

“You’re from the Lucas family, aren’t you.”

Linley directly turned to the topic.

Kelivan nodded his head and said with a slight hint of pride, “Yes, the patriarch of the family land is none other than my great uncle.”

“I’m from the Baruch family.”

Linley looked at Kelivan, “My Baruch clan has an inherited treasure. Named the warblade ‘Slaughter’, yet this warblade left my family hundreds of years ago. I now wish to retrieve this warblade ‘Slaughter’. And as far as I know, our family’s inherited treasure is now in your Lucas family.”

Linley said this and stopped continuing.

Kelvin’s brows couldn’t help but furrow.

“Warblade ‘Slaughter’, the weapon of the first Dragonblood Warrior?”

Kelvin looked at Linley.

Linley nodded slightly.

Kelvin pondered for a moment and said, “Young Master Linley, honestly, the one with the most power in the family is my eldest uncle, and eldest uncle he’s already old. Doesn’t hold any positions anymore either. His greatest hobby is collecting. This battle sword, ‘Slaughter’, is a collectible that he often shows off to outsiders. This treasure is worth nearly a million gold coins, and is one of the most precious collectibles in our family. It can be said that this collectible is my eldest uncle’s lifeblood, and it …… is very difficult to get him to let go of it.”

Linley frowned.

The warblade ‘Slaughter’ had only been sold for 180,000 gold coins in the first place, although the purchasing power of gold coins hundreds of years ago was quite a bit higher than it was now. But in comparison, it was at most equivalent to nearly 400,000 gold coins now. And the other party said one million gold coins.

It seems that ……

The price sold by that ‘disgraced’ ancestor of his own family back then was low.

“Kelvin. This warblade ‘Slaughter’. After all, it is a treasure that has been passed down by our family for more than 5,000 years, and its importance to our family can be imagined. For outsiders, it’s just a collector’s item, but for our family, the loss of the family’s heritage treasure is a disgrace.”

Linley’s face sank.

“The shame of the family land, I am definitely going to wash it away. For the sake of this warblade ‘Slaughter’, I will do whatever it takes. What I mean. Do you understand?”

Linley stared at Kelvin.

Kelivan also felt a little bad.

The history of the Baruch family. He had naturally heard of it. After all, he had this collection in his family.

For a glorious family that had once crisscrossed the entire continent. The importance of the family’s inherited treasure could be imagined. The Baruch family of the past was so weak that they could care less. But now that Linley had come out of nowhere,…… not to mention the Linley of the future. Even if it was Linley now, it wouldn’t be hard to deal with their family.

As long as Lin Lei told the Illuminati that he wanted to take back the war knife ‘Slaughter’ and wash away the family’s shame, I’m afraid that the Lucas family would have to obediently give up the sword. I’m afraid that the Lucas family will have to be obedient.

But once the matter involved the Illuminati, it would be serious.

“I understand what young master Linley means, I understand.”

Kelvin was a little weak in his heart.

Linley smiled as he looked at Kelvin: “I hope that you, the Lucas family, can understand my bitterness, as a son of the family, I can’t help it, Kelvin, you go back and talk to your eldest uncle first, I’ll be paying a visit in person this evening.”

“We of the Lucas Family welcome you, Young Master Linley.”

Kelivan was already thinking in his mind about how to persuade that old stubborn uncle.

As he watched Kelvin leave, Linley’s heart felt a sense of superiority.

Although he didn’t have any position yet, his reputation was well known, and just speaking a few words to this Kelivin had made this minister of the kingdom’s heart worry. All of this was because of his position, and his position was a result of his strength. ……

That evening.

The living room of the Lucas family’s ancient mansion was decorated in a very tasteful manner, and the dozen or so people who stayed in the living room were none of the extremely powerful people in the Finlay Kingdom. The lowest rank of these people was a count, and they were here just to wait for Linley.

Linley, a rising star of the Finlay Kingdom.

Even though today’s Linley was only seventeen years old, even though he didn’t have any titles, it was the dukes of the kingdom who didn’t dare to take him lightly.

After all, even if they had status, they could only make waves in the middle of the Finlay Kingdom, but Linley? That was a figure who was valued by the four great empires and the two great alliances. Perhaps in a few decades, if Linley became a Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See, his status would be even higher than the king of the kingdom.

Taking advantage of the other party’s status not being too high to draw a good relationship, that was naturally very important.

And among these dozen people, the only one who is very uncomfortable in the heart of the Lucas family’s patriarch, Marquis Jeb, who is old and has no other hobbies, and his favorite is this personal weapon of the first Dragon Blood Warrior, which he has always been proud of.

But …… now the scion of the other family has come and wants this treasure.

“Mr. Linley, please.”

“Mr. Yale, please.”

The voices of the attendants outside the door entered the living room, instantly causing the dozen or so nobles in the living room to look towards the door with smiles on their faces, that is, even Earl Jeb, who was uncomfortable in his heart, squeezed out a hint of a smile to welcome him.

It was the first time Linley had been called ‘sir’ himself, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it. And he saw at this time that this silver-haired old man with combed hair smilingly walked over and said very politely, “Very welcome to the two of you, Linley and Yale, who have come to my Lucas family, I, Jeb, as the family’s patriarch, am deeply honored.”

Linley couldn’t help but have a small smile on his face.

It seemed that this thing had a chance! ——–
