Episode 5 – The Sword of the Gods ‘Purple Blood’ Chapter 16 – The Master

“Brother Karan.”

Alice cried out in a low voice, while looking anxiously at the possibility that some people would be proud of being the ‘prototype’ of a Zong Shi stone sculpture. However, this work of Linley’s was different, as long as there was some research into stone carvings, it was entirely possible to savor Linley’s past with Alice from the divine charm contained amongst the five separate humanoid sculptures.

If Alice had just become the wife of a small family, it would have been fine.

However, the one who was going to marry her was the future heir of the Karan Debus Debus family, and the Debus family was also one of the top three great families in the Kingdom of Finlay.

“Take it easy.”

Karan held Alice’s hand.

But Alice could feel that Karan’s hands were full of sweat.

“Father-”

Karan looked to his father, Bernard, and then to his mother. His parents were extremely loving, which was why they were able to willingly take out eight million gold coins out for Karan, after all, eight million gold coins was a huge amount for the Debus family.

“Karan, don’t even think about it, there’s no way the family can come up with more than ten million gold coins out for just one of your fiancées.”

Bernard said with a serious face.

Karan was stunned, and even Alice looked up at Bernard, with worry, and a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Let’s follow our prior decision.”

Bernard ignored Alice’s expectations and indifferently pronounced.

Kahlan’s entire body was fixed for a long time, and next to her, Alice tightly held Kahlan’s hand and stared into Kahlan’s eyes. Alice understood very well what Bernard’s words just now represented, and Alice was very reluctant to accept that result.

Karan glanced at Alice and sighed helplessly, gently shaking his head.

“Big brother Karan, I don’t want it.”

Alice said in a low voice.

Karan shook Alice’s hand. Gently shaking his head, “It won’t work. Alice, I am the heir to the family land, I must consider for the family, I also hope that you can slightly sacrifice for me, I promise, my heart for you will not change.”

Alice was silent.

Heir of the family!

These few simple words, but they doomed Karan to have everything tightly linked to the family’s honor and disgrace. Although Bernard loved his son very much, but no matter what, he would not allow Alice to become Karan’s proper wife.

That’s right, he couldn’t become his wife.

In other words, the children born to Alice in the future would not be full-blooded.

In fact, ever since the stone sculpture ‘Waking Dream’ was seen by many people. The Debus family had asked Karan to give up Alice, even if they were to marry Alice. It was also impossible for Alice to become Karan’s proper wife. However, Karan had always insisted.

Later on, Bernard, who loved Karan, compromised and decided that if he could purchase ‘Dream Wake’ back, then he would reluctantly agree to this matter.

But now it seems that ……

“Big brother Karan.”

Alice looked at Karan, her eyes moist. At the same time, she looked at the surrounding people in the Debus family. However, whether it was Karan, or Bernard, or Karan’s mother, one by one, they all ignored Karan.

At this moment, Alice felt an icy chill in her heart.

Suddenly, she recalled the time she was with Linley, when Linley had cared for her with undivided attention. In the past, she had thought that it was only right for Linley to accommodate her and care for her like that. But this moment she was so eager.

Tilting her head, she looked through the glass to the third floor of the auction hall. But all she could see was blackened glass.

“Ten million gold coins, ten million gold coins, is there any higher?”

The blonde host shouted loudly from the stage.

The man in loose robes casually glanced in all directions. And then directly yelled at that blonde host, “Hey. You don’t want to bullshit there. Hurry up and count down.”

The rich nobles beside them all laughed.

Would the person who hosted the auction listen to what the people below said to do?

According to what those rich nobles knew about this blonde man. He was the one who would render the auction item over and over again, rendering the price of the piece to an extremely high ground.

The blonde host heard that voice, but felt as if his entire being was hypnotized, and said naturally, “Then I’ll start counting down, three, two ……”

“10.1 million gold coins!”

An old voice came out from the second floor box.

Everyone’s gazes gathered towards this box, even the man in the loose robes stared towards this box in surprise. Among the boxes on the second floor, other than the Debus Family, the other families in the boxes were all large families that were known throughout the Yulan Continent.

The wealth of those large families was much more than the Debus family.

“Hehe, there’s really someone who knows what he’s talking about, but just increase it by 100,000 gold coins, it’s too stingy to add a little more, 10.3 million gold coins.”

The man wearing loose robes said casually with a smile.

At this moment, Linley and the others on the third floor of the auction hall noticed the man in the loose-fitting robes. However, from their position, they could only see the side of the man in the loose-fitting robes, and couldn’t see the robed man’s appearance at all.

“En?”

Cardinal Gilmer and Cardinal Lampson of the Church of Light both stood up, and they frowned as they circled around to the other side along the glass window, carefully looking towards the man in loose robes below.

And at this moment – the baggy-robed man seemed to have realized that the two cardinals above were looking at him as much as they were looking at him, and actually raised his head to look at the two cardinals.

“It’s him?”

The two cardinals’ faces abruptly turned white.

Gilmer and Lampson both looked at each other and shook their heads. In fact, the Illuminati had made a decision before the auction, deciding that this time they would spend a large price to auction off the stone sculpture ‘Awakening Dreams’ as a way to make Linley’s relationship with the Illuminati better.

However, Gilmer and Lampson both changed their minds when they saw this man.

“It’s better not to argue with this madman.”

Gilmer said softly.

Lampson also nodded, “I don’t want to mess with this madman.”

Although they called the other party ‘crazy’, the fear was deep in both of their bones. Regarding the terror of the thirty or forty year old man below, Lampson and Gilmer were very clear about it. Especially Lampson ……

Because, such as because of this madman, I’m afraid that Lampson hasn’t had the chance to advance a level. Teach.

There were only five Cardinals in total in the Church of Light. Precisely because this madman killed a Cardinal Archbishop at random, this made it possible for Lampson to have the opportunity to be able to sit in this position. But it was the killing of the Cardinal Archbishop that the Pope of Light was not willing to really confront this madman because of this.

“10.4 million gold coins.”

On the second floor of the box, the old voice once again sounded the man in loose robes looked up and frowned: “You guys are still really troublesome, 11 million gold coins.”

“11 million gold coins, this gentleman has bid 11 million gold coins, is there any higher.”

The blonde host was also excited, he needed to know that the ‘Blood Eyed Maned Lion’ which was the first of the top ten stone sculptures was only 13 million gold coins.

In the middle of the third floor, Gilmer inquired to Lampson in a low voice, “Lampson. Do you know which clan is in that box? How dare you fight with this madman, is it too long to live?”

“Pavilion Director Maia.”

Lampson shouted to Curator Maia who was not far away.

Curator Maia immediately walked over.

“Curator Maia. Do you know which family is being quoted in the middle of the box?”

Lampson inquired, “It seems like the one in charge is a young girl.”

Lampson stood on the third floor and naturally saw the person sitting on the sofa in the second floor through the window.

As for the person with the pale voice, it looked like it was the servant of that girl’s land.

Curator Maia took a look and said with a smile, “Lord Gilmer. Lord Lampson, this girl is a direct descendant of the Lane family of the Yulan Empire. This box was reserved in the name of the Lane Family.”

“The Lane Family?”

Lampson and Gilmer were startled.

The Lane Family, the top five super family in the oldest empire of the entire Yulan Continent, the ‘Yulan Empire’, was able to rank amongst the top five families in the Yulan Empire, and any one of them would be able to easily kill the Debus Family.

And most of the sons and daughters of the Lane family land were in important positions in the Yulan Empire, and had a huge power network in the Yulan Empire.

“Gilmer, the past number one magical genius of our Ernst Magic Academy, ‘Dixie’, seems to belong to the Lane family of the Yulan Empire, right?”

Lampson inquired.

Gilmer was more familiar with the matters of the Ernst Magic Academy.

“Yes, it’s not just Dixie. He also has a sister whose name I can’t remember. This brother and sister were both studying at our Ernst Magic Academy. But a few days ago. Dixie has already applied for graduation.”

Gilmer said directly.

Lampson also nodded.

“It seems that girl is Dixie’s sister.”

Lampson looked towards the box.

In the box booked by the Lane family on the second floor. Delia, wearing a purple suit with a calm face, sat on top of the sofa and looked at the ‘Waking Dream’ stone sculpture below through the window.

“Miss, don’t argue, the one below can’t be messed with.”

The old man said with some concern.

As a super great family of the Yulan Empire, the Lane Family was very clear about the potential forces of the entire Yulan Continent, as well as some super experts. They understood very well that even though they were a super great family, there were some people that could not be offended.

For example, the young man below who seemed to be only in his thirties or forties.

The old man knew very well that although he was already over four hundred years old this year, it was estimated that when he was not yet born, this loose robed man was the same person he was today.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Hugh, can you help me give this note to him?”

Delia took out a pen and handed it to the old man after writing a quick sentence on a piece of paper.

The old man received the note and couldn’t help but stare at the contents.

“Miss, you, how did you ……”

The old man was shocked by the content.

“Don’t care, just give him this note.”

Delia didn’t hesitate for a moment, and the old man hesitated for a moment eventually walking out of the box to the first floor.

“12 million gold coins!”

Delia’s crisp voice rang out from the middle of the box.

The loosely robed man below frowned as a strand of fury began to condense between his brows. And at this time the old man named ‘Hugh’ had already walked over towards the loose-robed man, walked in front of the loose-robed man and bowed respectfully, “My lord, I’m a servant of the Lane family, and this is a letter from my lady to you.”

The loose robed man frowned, before receiving the piece of paper with interest.

“Yo……”

The loose robed man’s eyes lit up as soon as he took a look at the content, before he smiled.

“Good, good, I won’t argue, I won’t argue.”

The piece of paper in the loose robed man’s hand directly turned into flying ash, while the loose robed man himself sat down with a smile on his face, and also raised his head to look at the box on the second floor where Delia was.

At this moment, in the middle of the third floor of the auction hall.

Linley and Yale were both stunned when they heard the crisp ’12 million gold coins’. This voice was all too familiar, Linley had known the owner of this voice since he first entered the Ernst College of Magic, just like the owner of this voice.

“It’s Delia.”

Yale exclaimed in shock.

Linley, on the other hand, immediately got up and walked to the other side of the window, to the position where he could see Delia’s box. Sure enough, Delia, who was wearing a rather serious purple suit, was sitting on a sofa and was staring down at the stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’ on the ground below.

“3, 2……1, bang!”

The blonde host struck the small hammer and shouted out excitedly, “Congratulations to the Lane Family for auctioning off Master Linley’s statue for 12 million gold coins, and I have the honor of announcing that the stone sculpture ‘Dream Awakening’ has become the third highest priced piece amongst the top ten stone sculptures. Only Master Hoover’s ‘Blood Eyed Maned Lion’ and Master Proulx’s ‘Hope’ have surpassed the price of this ‘Dream Awakening’.”

The entire auction hall burst into a clamor, and warm applause rang out.

Linley, on the other hand, was standing in front of the window on the third floor, looking down at Delia, and then turning his eyes to look at Alice in the middle of another box. Both girls were sitting on the sofa, only Delia had a smile on her face, while Alice was pale.
