Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 17: Requests
The palace’s first magic residence, the spring garden.
The earth-colored light was shrouding the grass in the spring garden, and it was precisely the earth magic – gravity magic, and at the moment, Linley was wearing pants alone and practicing on the grass with his naked upper body.
The muscle lines on his naked upper body were as natural as flowing water, without a trace of excess flesh. The nearly fourfold gravitational force caused not only the surface of Linley’s body, but even the meridians and blood vessels within his body to need to withstand four times the gravitational force.
Fortunately, Linley had gone through a dragon blood metamorphosis, and his entire physique had reached a new level.
Linley’s legs formed a bow-and-arrow stance, and his hands were raised flat towards his sides, each holding a huge stone lock. Both of these stone locks had a gravity of a hundred pounds. And at four times the gravitational force, the two stone locks combined had a gravity of nearly a thousand pounds.
Legs taut as steel, Linley’s upper torso stood straight up, staring straight ahead and not moving.
Static training, a very effective method.
Beads of sweat, drop by drop, seeped out from Linley’s body surface, beads of sweat quickly dripping from Linley’s temples. But Linley still persisted ……
Even after being named the so-called First Magus of the Palace, Linley was still in the midst of constant cultivation almost every day. The guards stood solemnly, and there were also two maids of honor outside always ready to wait for Linley’s call. The gate to the Spring Garden, however, was closed.
When Linley was practicing, it was most taboo for others to enter.
Once upon a time, when His Majesty Clyde, the king of the Finlay Kingdom, had arrived, that court attendant had rushed into the spring garden despite the guards of the spring garden stopping him, and had told Linley to go see His Majesty. Linley, however, had directly ordered that the courtier be given twenty military clubs. The physically weak courtier was actually killed alive.
And later, His Majesty Clyde did not blame Linley in the slightest. Instead, he reprimanded his men that they must abide by Linley’s rules in the Spring Garden.
“Lord Linley trains so desperately, a whole day. It’s either warrior training or magic meditation training. I’m afraid I only have the daily stone carving time to rest and rest.”
A maid whispered. The other maid also nodded, “I haven’t seen nobles who are so desperate to train. When I was in my old home, the warrior instructor in our old home was only practicing for four hours a day.”
The Knights of the Illuminati Lands who were escorting beside them also admired Linley in their hearts. Generally geniuses. When enveloped by a halo. It was possible to fall down. The Illuminati cultivated some genius characters every year, but those characters weren’t as dazzling as Linley, but after their status increased, they were completely attracted to the world of flowers and fell down.
“Lord Linley goes on like this. I’m afraid he’ll become the youngest Earthly Ninth Level powerhouse ever, the youngest Saint Domain powerhouse.”
One of the escorting knights whispered.
The other knights nodded as well.
These people were extremely admiring of Linley’s diligence in cultivation.
It was just …… “Lord Linley, is just a little too harsh.”
A maid whispered with some dissatisfaction, in their hearts, Linley was handsome, young, strict with himself, and powerful. There was a future!
Such a person was practically perfect, just too strict with others. Even when treating them as maidservants. He doesn’t know how to be gentle and affectionate either. There was a stone carving break, unfortunately. They didn t realize …… that Linley was at the time of the stone sculpture carving. It was the time when spiritual strength grew the fastest. Linley’s strength was no longer increasing at all times!
Inside the spring garden.
“Whew.”
An hour of warrior training was over. Linley ran the Dragonblood Warrior Fighting Qi in his body. Fatigue was disappearing rapidly as Linley took a flat blade from the table on the ground next to him, while a huge stone was being placed at the other end of the grass. These were all used by Linley to perform carvings.
Looking at the boulders in front of him, according to the lines of the texture of the boulders themselves, Linley’s mind naturally sketched them out, and in a few moments they turned into the sculpted likeness of a brave warrior.
The corners of Linley’s mouth had a hint of a smile, and the flat blade in his hand was immediately swung out.
The blade flew rhythmically fast and slow, the stone debris was also constantly thrown, Lin Lei was confident, each knife had 100% confidence, the force of each knife was just right.
A beautiful feeling!
Linley’s soul merged into the fluctuations of the earth element, sensing the textures within the boulder. Linley’s soul also merged into the wind element, the force of each slash reaching peak precision.
Naturally!
Linley’s soul was immersed in nature, and nature was like a mother nurturing Linley’s soul, causing it to thrive and grow stronger and stronger.
“Whew.”
Exhaling, Linley put away his flat blade.
After spending two hours, at this moment, the entire boulder had formed into a stone carving embryo, as for the detailed carving, Linley was prepared to wait until tomorrow to continue, the amount of time that Linley put into stone carving each day was limited.
One must optimally deploy the various modes of cultivation to maximize the efficiency of one’s strength!
Cultivation began at five in the morning, and it was now eight. It was precisely the time for Linley to eat breakfast.
After releasing his flat blade, Linley took off his pants and jumped into the hot springs. Lying in the middle of the hot springs, feeling the hot springs wash over the muscles in all parts of his body, Linley squinted his eyes comfortably, rarely allowing himself to stop for a little while.
“Come in.”
Linley suddenly shouted out.
And the two maids who had been waiting quietly outside the garden gate of the spring garden immediately came in with round disks, among which were all sorts of delicacies, as well as fruits, and so on.
“Lord Linley.”
The two maids placed the disk on the table next to them, and then respectfully waited for Linley’s orders.
Even as they stood respectfully by the side, the two maids couldn’t help but glance towards Linley from time to time, as Linley’s strong, naked male body had a great deal of appeal to them.
“You guys can step back first.”
Linley said blandly.
“Yes, Lord Linley.”
The two maids immediately left respectfully.
From start to finish, Linley didn’t even glance at the two maids.
Immediately, Linley walked out of the hot spring pool, and after changing into a dry set of undergarments and outerwear, Linley sat down on a chair and ate breakfast.
“Shoo.”
A dark shadow jumped over from the grass in the distance, it was none other than Bebe. Just now, when Linley was cultivating and sculpting, Bebe was sleeping.
“Boss. Breakfast ah, ah, this big piece of roast meat is mine.”
Bebe instantly stared at a large piece of magical beast roast meat.
Linley smiled.
“Grandpa Delin, to deal with that Clyde, is there really nothing we can do at all?”
Linley said to Delinquent Corvette in his heart. Delinquent Corvette flew out of the Ring of Coiled Dragons. Sitting down on a chair on the ground next to him. Smiling, he looked at Linley, “Linley. Clyde is a rank nine powerhouse, the gap between you and him is just too great, even with full dragonization, you’re only at the beginning of rank eight. Oh, you’re under normal circumstances nowadays. You’ve already entered the late stage of rank six, and you’re considered a mid to late stage of rank eight when you’re fully dragonized. But it’s still far from Clyde’s opponent.”
Linley’s heart was resentful. Now he knew that the one who had instructed Patterson to send people to capture his mother was Clyde. But against Clyde, he had no way at all.
“One can only continue to cultivate.”
Linley couldn’t help but clench his fists so tightly that even the ground fork in his hand twisted as he held it.
Dragonblood warriors cultivated very well in the initial stages, Linley had now reached the late sixth level, and at this rate, there was hope of stepping into the seventh level within half a year. Once he stepped into the seventh level. Then, fully dragonized, he would be able to step into the ninth level initial stage.
“Lord Linley.”
The voice of the maid outside came over.
“Come in.”
Linley said blandly.
Only then did the maid run in. Respectfully, she said, “Lord Linley, there’s a young lady named Alice outside seeking an audience.”
“Alice?”
Linley’s eyelids lifted. Looking toward the maid. “Take her to the parlor. I’ll be right over.”
Linley stood up and said.
“Yes, Lord Linley.”
The maidservants didn’t dare to be the slightest bit playful in front of Linley. They were all clear. Linley was very strict with his subordinates. Zi Shang, holding the water cup, the entire person looked a little rushed. Having her come to beg Linley was really too difficult for her. But she had no choice.
Footsteps sounded-Alice’s body trembled, and she immediately turned her head to look.
Linley, who was wearing loose robes, smiled as he walked in from the inner hall, and when he saw Alice looking over, he immediately nodded and smiled, “Alice, long time no see.”
With that, Linley sat down on the main seat.
Alice clearly felt that Linley’s aura nowadays was completely different from a year ago. The Linley of a year ago was still very young.
But nowadays, Linley’s aura of calmness and elegance could be felt just by talking and laughing. This kind of temperament was something that could only be found when one was in a high position and had the will to do what one wanted.
“Big brother Linley.”
Alice tried to make her voice seem calm, but even so, her voice was slightly trembling.
“Would you like some fruit? I remember you like green fruits the most.”
Linley glanced at the distant ground maid.
The maid soon brought up a tray of fruit.
“Thanks.”
Alice picked up a piece of green fruit and gently bit into it. At this time, Alice couldn’t help but recall the scene when she had eaten the green fruit with Linley, and it was Linley who had fed her at that time.
Alice couldn’t help but look up at Linley, who was currently looking at her with a smile.
“Big brother Linley.”
Alice put down the green fruit and looked towards Linley, “There’s something I want to ask you for a favor.”
“Ask me for a favor?”
Linley’s heart was guessing as to what Alice had come for this time.
“Speak.”
Linley said directly.
Alice took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Linley: “Big brother Linley, you know about Karan and their family, I think that Karan and the others are innocent. I hope that you, big brother Linley, that you can help, talk to his majesty and help clear the Debus family’s name. I know that His Majesty is very much giving you face.”
Linley couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
Cleared of wrongdoing?
Other people didn’t know, but the one who had killed Padeson wasn’t clear himself? When he himself had killed Padeson, Padeson had personally said something about smuggling. Nine times out of ten, it was related to this Debus family!
“Cleared of wrongdoing? What makes you think they are innocent? Alice, what do you know about the Debus family?”
Linley looked at Alice.
Alice was stunned.
She had summoned up the courage to say those words just now for a long time, but now that she was being asked such a rhetorical question by Linley, she had a feeling – Linley didn’t want to help!
She had the feeling that she wanted to cry, and it was hard on her heart.
Alice stood up and said to Linley with a bow, ”Big brother Linley I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have come today. I know that I hurt you too deeply back then, and now I want you to save the Debus family, I really went overboard. It’s fine if you don’t save, I won’t blame you.”
In Alice’s mind, Linley and Karan should be considered love rivals, and it was great that Linley hadn’t fallen on his sword.
Linley looked at Alice, but his heart was calm.
The failure of his first love was just a dream that had woken up for today’s Linley. The current Linley had already experienced the battle in the Misty Valley, the Dragon Blood Metamorphosis, and the death of his father. Now he was even on the dark path of revenge!
On the path of vengeance, Linley had to be stoic, cold, and merciless, without the slightest bit of slacking off. Today’s Linley, his heart was many times tougher than in the past, and he had matured by an unknown amount. It simply wasn’t what the tender Linley had been a year ago. Nor was it the Linley that Alice had thought in her heart.
The more you experience, the more mature you become! Linley had experienced too much!
“Big brother Linley, I’ll go back first.”
Alice stood up immediately, but she couldn’t hold back her tears anymore.
“Alice.”
Linley stood up and reached out to press down on Alice’s shoulders.
Alice turned her head in surprise to look at Linley, but Linley stared at her and solemnly said, “Alice, you know too little, and whether or not the Debus family is innocent is not something you can subjectively deduce. However, since you’ve made up your mind to come and beg me, I won’t stand idly by. Just …… whether I can save it or not, that’s hard to say.”
