Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 21: The Trial

There were six people in total, Nimitz, Karan’s two uncles, Karan, Lorraine, and Alice, and they didn’t dare to sit down with a big grin when their master hadn’t arrived, so they just had to wait quietly in the living room.

“Karan, when Lord Linley arrives, you remember to be a little more humble.”

Nimitz coldly glanced at Karan.

Karan nodded, “Second grandpa, I know.”

In the bottom of his heart, Karan was actually resentful of Linley, especially knowing the reason why he had gotten out of prison, he was even more resentful of Linley instead!

“I’d rather stay in jail than have Alice beg him!”

Karan was furious in his heart.

In the beginning, ever since Alice had been with Linley, Karan had begun to resent Linley. And as he recaptured Alice, there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his heart. In his opinion, although Linley’s strength was good, compared to their Debus family, it was still too far off. However, in just a few months’ time, Linley’s identity had suddenly changed, and he had unexpectedly leapt to become the brightest new star in the entire city of Finlay. Even His Majesty, the King of Finlay Kingdom, and the Cardinal Archbishop of the Holy See had received him so warmly. Even his father had to be humble to others. This made Karan’s heart hate very much.

Also a young man, why was he inferior to the other?

Especially this time!

He was in jail and eventually came out. But it was the person he loved most in his heart, Alice, who had gone to beg Linley. It was Linley who had let him out.

This made Karan feel a sense of humiliation. How he wanted to not accept Linley’s favors and continue to stay in prison. How he wanted to scold Linley, or even kill him.

But for the sake of the family, he, Karan, could only humbly come to Linley’s mansion right now, unable to show even a hint of disrespect in his attitude.

The sound of steps rang out.

Karan immediately discarded the random thoughts in his head, and his face tried to squeeze out a smile, making his attitude look as humble and courteous as possible.

“Sorry to keep everyone waiting.”

Linley’s bright voice rang out.

The six Nimitzes looked over, and at this moment, Linley had clearly just taken a shower. His hair was wet, and his body was even casually dressed in loose robes.

“Sit down, all of you.”

Linley said with a casual wave of his hand as he sat peacefully on the main seat.

Nimitz and the other six immediately expressed their gratitude, and one by one, they all sat down. Nimitz was the first to smile and said, “Lord Linley, we came this time. It’s to thank you, Lord Linley. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been able to come out so quickly, Karan. ”Karan, why don’t you thank Lord Linley.”

Karan had to stand up at this time, mentally suppressing the indignation in his heart and trying to keep his ground posture humble, “Thank you Lord Linley.”

Linley smiled faintly at Karan, “Karan. There’s no need to thank me.”

“Mr. Nimitz, I have important things to do later, I don’t know what you have to do, if there’s something, please say it earlier.”

Linley said with a smile as he looked at Nimitz.

Linley was, in fact, too lazy to waste time with these people, his time was for cultivation.

Nimitz was stunned, but adjusted in the twinkling of an eye. With a low sigh, he said, ”Lord Linley, my Debus family has been slandered as being suspected of smuggling water jade ore. At this point in time, our Debus clan might just be wiped out. That’s why our Debus clan is asking for Lord Linley’s help. Once our family gets through this difficult time, we will certainly not forget Lord Linley’s great kindness.”

“Lord Linley, this is a small gift from us to you for being able to save Karan from prison, and if our family is able to survive this time, we will definitely thank Lord Linley again.”

Nimitz sincerely held this black box and looked at Linley.

“Shoo.”

The shadow rat, Bebe, unexpectedly scurried to Nimitz, unexpectedly snatched the black box directly with his two small paws, directly jumped onto Linley’s lap, and directly wanted to flip open this black box.

“Bebe.”

Linley drank in a low voice.

Bebe raised his head and gave Linley a disgruntled look, so he didn’t flip the box over, hummed a few times, and stopped making a sound.

“Mr. Nimitz, Bebe it’s a bit stubborn, I’ll accept this gift of yours, thank you Mr. Nimitz for your kindness.”

Linley smiled and then casually placed the black box to the side without even glancing at it.

Nimitz could sense that Linley was getting a little impatient.

Immediately, Nimitz gave a wink to the others, and he took the lead and stood up and bowed, “Lord Linley, then we won’t bother you, this case of my Debus family will be heard in a month, and I hope that during this time, your honor will be able to help out.”

Linley nodded casually.

Nimitz several people then all left, from beginning to end Alice, Luo Lin and the others were not saying a word, it was mainly just Nimitz alone who spoke.

As he watched this group of people leave, Linley smiled coldly: ”Nimitz, this old man? Bringing Alice here, thinking I’d give you face?”

Linley flipped open the lid of the black box next to him with one hand, and inside the box was a magic crystal card as well as a letter.

“Letter?”

Linley held the letter in his hand, but suddenly flames emerged from Linley’s earthly hand, directly burning the letter to ashes. This letter, Linley was simply too lazy to read.

In the blink of an eye, it was September.

This month, Lin Lei practiced diligently every day, his body’s flexibility and strength had improved greatly, and the Dragon Blood Dou Qi in his body had also become more and more pure.

Linley had a feeling that he had reached the late stage of level six.

As for the progress of his spiritual power, although Linley’s rate of progress was very fast, but going from a level 7 magician to a level 8 magician, that was a genius, usually required nearly 20 years of work. Even if Linley progressed quickly, in a few months’ time, his progress still wasn’t significant.

The path of magic was indeed long and arduous.

Spring garden, sword shadows waving, a humanoid stone sculpture had become clearer, discarded stones flying up in all directions, landing on top of the grass. Suddenly Linley’s entire body stopped, his flat blade put away.

“Whew, finally finished.”

Looking at the stone sculpture on the ground in front of him, Linley nodded in satisfaction.

This stone sculpture, which had been named the King of Slaying by Linley, had indeed consumed a great deal of Linley’s efforts. Every time, Linley was trying to get himself completely into shape. Carving out the scene of Hisser’s strike perfectly.

The stone sculpture in front of him was comparable in height to a real person.

In particular, the coldness and indifference between the eyes gave one the feeling of seeing God-land. This stone sculpture was what gave people the feeling of a god of killing. Moreover, being stared at by the eyes of this stone sculpture, it gave people a sense of chilling fear.

“This work, although not as good as the Dream Awakening. However, it has also reached the most perfect realm for me under normal circumstances.”

Linley was interested in this piece of artwork. It was still extremely satisfying. After spending nearly a month carving it carefully and thoughtfully, it was finally finished.

Putting down his flat knife, Linley took a dip in the spring water pool before putting on loose clothes and sitting on a chair. Eating the breakfast that the maid had sent up.

“Linley.”

Delinquent Corvette flew out from the side.

“Grandpa Delin.”

Linley looked towards Delinquent Corvette.

Delinquent Corvette smiled, “Linley, there are still two days left before the Debus family case is heard, are you going to go see it?”

“Case trial?”

Linley was stunned.

This month’s life of assiduous cultivation had caused Linley to forget about things outside. Even the Debus family’s case had been forgotten. If it wasn’t for Derinkelwalt mentioning it, Linley was afraid that he wouldn’t even remember.

“Go, of course.”

Linley had a smile on his face. On September 8 of the 9999th year of the Yulan Calendar, in the Blackwater Prison of Finlay City.

The Blackwater Prison was the most famous in the Finlay Kingdom. It was also the most heavily guarded prison. And the Blackwater Mansion was the highest residence in Finlay City where cases were scrutinized.

A large number of nobles had gathered in the courtroom of the Blackwater Mansion today. Even His Majesty King Clyde had come to the side to listen in. And naturally, Linley had also arrived today.

“Lord Linley.”

One by one, the nobles greeted Linley warmly.

“Linley, come. Sit over here.”

Clyde, who was sitting in front of the gallery, beckoned to Linley. Linley smiled at Clyde. And walked over.

The two of them, Linley and Clyde, sat together.

Merit, with her hair combed out, sat on the main hearing seat. Her waist was even straighter. It really did give off a feeling of impartiality. “All of you, please take a seat.”

Merritt nodded and smiled at the many nobles in the gallery, and Merritt also revealed a humble smile especially in the direction of Clyde and Linley.

The many nobles in the gallery land fell silent, the Debus family had also come a dozen or so people today, and those dozen or so people were sitting in unison nervously waiting for the trial to begin.

“Bring Bernard.”

Merrit said directly.

In just a moment, under the escort of two sergeants, Bernard with shackles and chains finally entered the courtroom.

Merit glanced at an official next to him, who consciously stood up and began to say loudly, “During his tenure as Finance Minister, Duke Patterson did many things that betrayed the interests of the kingdom. One of them is even suspected of smuggling water jade ore with the Debus family, the scale of which is so large that it has never been seen since the founding of the Kingdom of Finlay, and the value of the smuggled water jade ore that has been investigated and disposed of is already worth nearly fifty million gold coins!”

In fact, the Debus family smuggling has just begun, said the value of 50 million gold coins, the Debus family actually only spent millions of gold coins. From this, it could be seen that the smuggling profits were huge.

However, this smuggling had only just begun, and because of the death of Padreson’s ground, it led to this matter being leaked out.

The official continued, “After probing, the people who presided over the smuggling were human beings, one of them jumped into the river, and the other two were the two brothers, Rancier and Langmuir.”

After saying that, the official sat down.

Merit looked at Bernard, “Bernard, do you have anything to say?”

Bernard nodded, “Yes, my lord, first of all, the smuggling was was not my Debus family, secondly, the two Rancier brothers were expelled by my Debus family a long time ago. Thirdly, the one who really presided over the smuggling should be the one you called the one who jumped into the river. It has nothing to do with my Debus family.”

Merit nodded and laughed, “The one who presided over the smuggling was your third brother, and you’re still saying it has nothing to do with it?”

“Third brother? My third brother is still out traveling and adventuring, how could he preside over smuggling.”

Bernard still insisted on this point.

“Your third brother is on an adventure?”

Merit’s face turned cold, “Then let me ask you, if your third brother is out adventuring, then I asked your Debus family to recall your third brother, why hasn’t your third brother come back in such a long time?”

Bernard confidently said, “My third brother is traveling in other countries, he may have run too far, it’s normal that he can’t be contacted for a year and a half.”

Merit looked at Bernard and smiled before coldly saying, “Bring the three Katersons up.”

“Katerson?”

Bernard was puzzled in the bottom of his heart, who were these Cartesian three?

In just a moment, three cowering youths walked up, and as soon as they came in, they immediately knelt down and respectfully said, “Greetings, my lord.”

These three youths were clearly the type of civilians who had never seen the world.

Merit blandly said, “Catterson, you will make clear what you will have discovered in the first place.”

“Yes, my lord.”

That youth in the lead respectfully said, “On the day of June 28th, our three brothers were fishing on the river, but suddenly discovered a magnificently dressed noble lord who was holding a piece of withered wood floating along with the river, this noble lord had blood on his body, and he was already nearly unconscious.”

Hearing this, Bernard’s face had changed a bit.

“The day we chased that presiding smuggling chief was exactly June 28th, and it happened that he also jumped into that river.”

Merit looked at Bernard, “Bernard, can you plead guilty?”

“My third brother who went out on a traveling adventure definitely did not preside over smuggling. My Debus family is also absolutely innocent.”

Bernard still said with his head held high at this time.

Merit sneered and said, “Bring Canter Debus up.”

Hearing the name Canter Debus, Bernard as well as the Debus family in the gallery’s face all turned white at once.
