Episode 5 – Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 9 – Kidnapping

In the parlor.

“I’m really sorry, Curator Maia.”

Linley said humbly, “I really don’t want to auction or exhibit this stone sculpture for the time being, but I can assure you that if I want to sell this stone sculpture in the future, or if I want to exhibit it, I’ll definitely ask for the help of your Proulx Guild Hall.”

Curator Maia leaned on his crutches and looked at Linley with a smile, “Oh, don’t mind. My coming here this time, wanting your work to be exhibited at our guild hall is secondary, the most important thing is still to meet the rare genius of our stone carving world that we’ve seen in billions of years.”

And at this time, the person in charge of the hotel walked in.

That person in charge smiled apologetically at Chief Pavilion Master Maia before looking at Linley and Yale, “Young Master Yale, Young Master Linley, a contingent from the Rhine Empire has already arrived outside the hotel, and they wish to meet Young Master Linley.”

“Haha.”

Curator Maia laughed and got up, “It seems like you’re very busy right now, Linley, then I won’t disturb you, I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Pavilion Leader Maia left the parlor with his own men.

Linley looked at the person in charge of the hotel, “Please help block this, I don’t want to see the people from the four empires and the Dark Alliance right now.”

Linley very simply rejected anyone who came to solicit him. Linley was very clear that if he were to meet with the people of the Four Great Empires or the Dark Alliance right now, it might cause strong resentment on the side of the Illuminati.

After all, once they met, even if he hadn’t promised the other party. But the people of the Illuminati weren’t there after all, so they would naturally be suspicious.

Furthermore, the forces on the side of the Illuminati were strong throughout the Yulan Continent, no weaker than any empire. There was no need for Linley to necessarily join one of the other empires or the Dark Alliance.

Three days later, in the carriage traveling to Finlay City, there was only Linley and Yale in the carriage, while Reynolds and George continued to stay in the academy.

“Old Three. You are indeed wise, these past two or three days the four great empires and the Dark Alliance have surprisingly all had people wanting to meet with you.”

Yale said with a smile, the people who had come to meet with Linley were the people in charge of some of the affairs of the four great empires and the Dark Alliance in the Holy Alliance.

Those people weren’t big names, after all, a seventeen year old level seven dual system magician, it would still take a relatively long time for this news to reach the four empires and the Dark Alliance. After all, they were too far away from each other.

Those in charge of the other forces in the Holy Alliance. They had also made their own decisions to come and see Linley.

Unfortunately, they were all turned away by Linley.

“Yale, the one that collected my Baruch family’s inherited treasures, the family called the Lucaslands, is it really difficult if I want to retrieve the warblade ‘Slaughter’ from their hands?”

Linley had set out for Finlay City this time precisely for this matter.

Yale nodded, “Right, I was in a hurry to tell you at first and didn’t pay too much attention to this family. Now it seems that this Lucas family is not ordinary na.”

Linley nodded slightly.

Collecting their family’s inherited treasures hundreds of years ago. At the very least, it meant that this family wasn’t an upstart.

“The Lucas family is also considered an older family, boasting a history of nearly a thousand years. Although its wealth is only average among the entire Finlay Kingdom, its influence among the nobles is very great. The most important thing is …… that the patriarch of the Lucas family is a very stubborn old man, and is extremely fond of collecting. Your family’s inherited treasure, but the first dragon blood warrior’s personal weapon. Although the Dragon Blood Warrior has not appeared for over a thousand years, this weapon is after all of extraordinary significance, and your family’s this weapon, the value of at least several hundred thousand gold coins.”

“But even if there are gold coins, with the stubbornness of the Lucas family patriarch, I’m afraid it’s still hard to get it.”

Yale said with a sigh.

Some people. It wasn’t the gold coins alone that were useful.

“Linley, if I ask my second uncle to help out and use our Chamber of Commerce’s network of connections. Put a little pressure on that old codger, and this won’t be so difficult.”

Yale proposed.

Linley knew that Yale meant well, but Linley really didn’t like asking others to help.

“I’ll try first, if I really can’t, then I’ll ask you for help, Boss Yale.”

Linley said with a smile.

Suddenly Linley felt a commotion next to his butt, and then Bebe’s small body emerged from the side. Bebe opened those drowsy eyes and looked at Yale. And then looked at Linley. At the same time, his soul communicated, “Boss, this carriage is so slow. I’ve been sleeping for a while, why haven’t I arrived at Finlay City yet.”

Linley picked up Bebe in a hug, “Alright, stop it, we should be there in a little while.”

Suddenly – “Ah!”

Several screams, and the carriage came to an abrupt halt.

Linley and Yale, who were sitting inside the carriage, also felt the carriage shake, and Yale’s face changed, “Not good.”

“Please also ask Linley and Young Master Yale to come out for a moment first.”

A slightly shrill voice came from outside.

Linley and Yale looked at each other, the other party was able to trap them without them even realizing it, this strength was much stronger than theirs, and they walked out of the carriage without much resistance.

As soon as they stepped out of the carriage, Linley and Yale’s faces changed.

At this moment, the two level 7 warrior guards had already fallen off their horses, their blood flowing all over the ground. Even the horseman had fallen. The seventh level warriors had been killed without much resistance, the strength of the other party was obvious.

“Young masters Yale and Linley, we mean no harm. We just wanted to invite Linley to have a seat at our place. As for young master Yale, we naturally won’t harm you.”

There were three men in green standing not far away at the moment, and a scarred man at the head was speaking.

Although Yale was annoyed by the death of the seventh level warrior, he didn’t snap. After all, he recognized the gap between each other’s strengths.

The scarred man looked at Linley with a smile, ”Linley, don’t resist, even the famous henchman can easily capture you, let alone me. Now all you have to do is obediently follow us, I wonder if you’re volunteering? Or will you let us use force?”

Linley glanced at Yale next to him, Linley really didn’t want to involve Yale.

“Old Three, don’t go with them.”

Yale said eagerly.

Linley understood in his heart that these three powerhouses were afraid that they were either from the Dark Alliance or one of the four great empires, and with the strength of the other side. I’m afraid that it would be difficult to please even if he and ‘Bebe’ went all out. What’s more, the other party was definitely looking for him to join them, so at least he wouldn’t harm himself.

“Fine, I’ll go with you guys.”

Linley nodded.

The scarred man couldn’t help but smile, “That’s good, Young Master Yale, I hope you forget what just happened.”

With that, the scarred man made a color towards the two men next to him. The two men in green quickly scurried to Linley’s side.

“Go.”

The scarred man snapped. Linley then held Bebe in his arms, and with the two green-clothed men holding him hostage, he began to head in a southeastern direction.

“Boss, should I kill these two guys, these two guys next to you, I’m sure I can kill them, but that scarred man’s, I’m not sure.”

Bebe said in a soul transmission.

Linley knew that Bebe’s perception was very accurate.

And he had deduced that the two beside himself were feared to be rank eight warriors. And that scarred man at the head of the group was most likely a rank nine powerhouse. To be able to send out a rank nine strongman and two rank eight strongmen was not something an ordinary force could afford to send out.

“Bebe, don’t be impulsive.”

Linley stopped.

“Why are there so many experts now?”

Linley was helpless in his heart.

Delinquent Corvette appeared next to him and glanced at Linley with a smile, “Your status and position are all different now, the experts you come into contact with are naturally different, I’ve told you long ago that in the Yulan Continent, reaching the seventh level is considered to be stepping into the forest of the powerful. In any of the four empires, Saint Domain powerhouses may be rare, but there are still dozens of rank nine powerhouses. It’s not a big deal to send one out for you.”

An empire, or an alliance was hundreds of millions of people.

There were only a few dozen rank nine powerhouses among hundreds of millions of people, almost one rank nine powerhouse among ten million people. In fact, rank nine powerhouses were still extremely rare and uncommon. “Where are they going now?”

Linley asked Derinkelwalt suspiciously.

“If I’m right. These three should be from the Dark Alliance, or the Dark Order. They should now be wanting to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range first, and then travel directly to the south within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Rush to the Dark Alliance region.”

Drinkwater replied confidently.

Linley agreed after some thought.

While the four great empires and the two great alliances had garrisoned armies between them, there were no garrisoned armies within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. After all, to those magical beasts, ordinary armies were simply food.

The Demonic Beast Mountain Range was a fierce place for ordinary warriors.

However, for a ninth level powerhouse, two eighth level powerhouses were nothing more than food. But for a level 9 strongman and two level 8 strongmen, it was simply a straight path. As long as these three people didn’t enter the core area of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there wouldn’t be any danger.

The place where the battle took place just now. Yale glanced at the dead three. With a sigh he headed to Finlay City on foot, and he had just left. A black-robed man suddenly appeared in the same spot, and the black-robed man glanced in the direction that Linley had been held hostage and left, immediately taking out a specially made black harp from his arms.

“Yo~” a strangely piercing sound from the harp this sound was so strange that if there were four people standing in the four directions of the harp, the sound heard by the one standing in the direction of Finlay City would be over a thousand times louder than the sound of the person standing on the opposite side.

This harp, almost all the sound sound waves are bound in one direction, moreover, this harp transmits not by sound, but by a special kind of vibration. ……

Linley held Bebe and very obediently followed these three people all the way, and this scarred man was also very satisfied with Linley’s cooperation.

But when they were still two or three miles away from the Devil Beast Mountain Range, the scarred man’s face changed.

“Whew.”

The scarred man retreated to Linley’s side almost instantly before looking around coldly, “Come out.”

Instantly, six tightly-clothed black-clothed men appeared, these six black-clothed men appeared, the scarred man didn’t care, his gaze was instead locked in the distance, only to see a black-robed old man, a linen-clothed old man from a short distance away also walking over.

“Linley is a member of our Holy Alliance, a member of our Holy Alliance, and you, a member of the Dark Church, ‘The Ruler’, dares to snatch it, isn’t that too much of a disregard for our Light Church?”

The black-robed old man said in a cold voice.

The scarred man laughed, “I didn’t expect that I would provoke you, Deputy Magister, to personally come out, oh, and invite an ‘ascetic’ over, as well as all the ‘deacons’ of the Inquisition. It seems like you guys think highly of this Linley.”

Although the scarred man knew that the other party was strong, he wasn’t worried in the slightest.

“I just wanted to invite Linley to visit our Dark Alliance, so since you all made a move to stop it, forget it.”

The scarred man looked at the black-robed old man, “Deputy Magistrate, I want a word from you, how about if I let Linley go, and you let me and two of my men from my land go?”

The black-robed old man knew very well that the scarred man in front of him was the ‘adjudicator’ of the Dark Order, so strong that even he would have great difficulty in killing him. However, he himself had invited an ascetic from within the divine temple this time, so it wouldn’t be difficult to kill the other party.

But …… Linley was still in the other party’s hands.

“Fine, I promise on my honor that you and your two men can leave, but you must leave Linley behind.”

The black-robed old man also didn’t want to just fight with the other party.

“Fine, I’ll leave.”

The scarred man simply left, and at the same time greeted Linley enthusiastically, “Linley, if there’s time and opportunity in the future, you can always go to our Dark Alliance. Haha …… Our Dark Alliance welcomes you at any time.”

With that, the scarred man and his two henchmen accelerated steeply, leaving three phantoms behind, and the three of them disappeared.
