Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 26: Designs

It was difficult!

If it was to enter the middle of the royal palace, Linley would have to find a chance to poison him. And in the middle of the royal palace one had to force Clyde and kill Clyde.

“Even if one didn’t seek to not reveal one’s identity, one could kill Clyde. Trying to escape the royal palace is difficult.”

Linley’s mind kept ringing with one possibility of things happening.

In the end, Linley decided – “It would be nearly impossible to poison the royal palace and still try to escape.”

Linley dismissed this method, after all, there were still a relatively large number of experts in the royal palace, and unless one performed a state of dragonization, one would be able to kill one’s way out.

But the secret of dragonization, Linley didn’t want to expose it.

“Only outside the royal palace.”

Linley had a bit of a headache.

Outside of the royal palace, how could Clyde be with himself and have to be alone in a place. No matter what, that Clyde was the king after all. Even if one had things to see the other party, one was still going to the royal palace to pay his respects.

One couldn’t send someone to speak to Clyde and have Clyde come to see him!

Linley hadn’t heard of a subject sending someone to make the king see him. This was clearly at odds with reason, even if Clyde gave himself face and really came over. Even if Clyde gave himself face and actually came over, I’m afraid that Clyde would be suspicious and wary at the bottom of his heart.

Once vigilant, then the success rate of one’s poisoning would be low.

“To find a chance to be alone with Clyde, and also not in the middle of the royal palace.”

After coming to Finlay City for so long, Linley hadn’t realized that he and Clyde had ever been alone together.

It was usually some kind of banquet. Only then would Clyde meet with him.

But Linley, he couldn’t lay his hands on Clyde at a banquet, in public.

“What to do?”

Linley was a little troubled.

Entering December, the temperature in Finlay City plummeted, and the first snowfall of this winter descended. The entire city of Finlay was a silver white, and the cold air had caused many nobles to hide in their homes, too lazy to go out.

Still wearing a loose robe, Linley strolled through the snowy streets under the protection of two guards.

“Cackling and creaking stepped on the snow and made a sound.

After the snow, Finlay City was exceptionally enchanting, and on both sides of Greenleaf Road, there was a single ice prism above the courtyard gates of the nobles’ residences. The light of the sunrise refracted on the ice prism, making the ice prism more and more eye-catching.

In front of the residence of a row of towering pine tree branches is a snow white, very beautiful.

The scenery was beautiful.

But Linley’s mood was not good.

“That Clyde is already a rank nine powerhouse. Although it’s hard to get from level nine to holy domain, maybe one day Clyde will break through. I’ll be even more hopeless by then.”

Linley really couldn’t afford to wait.

The sooner he dealt with Clyde, the greater his grasp would be.

However, he needed a chance.

“Boss, look, most of the mansions next to us have been refurbished, and there are many decorative items.”

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

Linley was walking along the road, and naturally didn’t notice it when his mind was distracted. After Bebe said this, Linley also noticed that the mansions on both sides of Greenleaf Road were all different from the past.

“This is ……”

Linley was somewhat puzzled.

“Hang on, yeah. Move it towards the left.”

The servants of a nearby mansion were hanging some decorations in front of the mansion’s door, and there was another person directing them next to them.

“That’s, a magnolia!”

Linley noticed that the pattern of the decorations hanging in front of that mansion’s door was precisely that of a magnolia flower.

It only dawned on Linley this was the time.

“Right, it’s already December, not many days until the Magnolia Festival. And it’s the Ten Thousand Year Magnolia Festival!”

Linley also knew how important this festival was.

January 1st of the 10,000th year of the Yulan Calendar was, I’m afraid, the most boisterous day in the Yulan Continent. No wonder every noble family residence was undergoing renovations and decorations.

“Ka-ching!”

The first rung of the ladder under the feet of a servant who was hanging ornaments unexpectedly broke, and that servant stepped on the ground, and the whole person couldn’t help but fall down. First, he collided with the ladder, and then his head hit the rocks on the ground, and blood immediately dyed the ground red.

The servants next to him immediately panicked.

“Is everything alright.”

One by one, the individuals immediately picked up this injured person.

“A little, a little dizzy.”

The injured person’s voice was weak. Fortunately, the ladder was not too high. The impact of him falling down and hitting the ground wasn’t too strong, which saved his life.

“Alright. You can go back and rest for today. Cole, you go take care of him. Really, so high up. All fell like this.”

That steward shook his head and said helplessly.

The servant named Cole immediately picked up the injured man and brought him over towards the residence.

Linley looked at this scene, but froze.

“Lin, Lord Linley?”

That steward only noticed Linley at this time and immediately walked up to salute Linley. This mansion was Duke Bernard’s mansion, and Linley had been here before, so this steward naturally recognized Linley.

“Good morning, Lord Linley.” The steward’s bowed.

It was only at this time that Linley fully sobered up, an excited smile appearing on his face, and seeing the person in front of him, he immediately smiled and said, “Hehe, good morning to you as well. Haha, come on, let’s go back.”

Linley excitedly turned around immediately and led the guards back.

“Hehe, why is the lord so happy?”

The two guards whispered to each other.

They had seen that Linley was at a loss today, so why had he suddenly become so excited?

“Such a simple solution, why didn’t I think of it! Haha ……”

Linley couldn’t help but slap himself on the head and curse, he was indeed blinded by his own thoughts.

At this moment, Linley was already certain that Clyde would come to see him. The way to do that was – to get injured!

“I’ll just pretend that I accidentally injured the inside of my body when I was cultivating my fighting qi. I’m injured, and with the way Clyde treats me, nine times out of ten, he’ll personally come to my door to greet me.”

As long as it was on one’s own mansion. Then it would naturally be much simpler and easier for one to design Clyde.

“I don’t care about the status or wealth of the Holy Alliance land. When I know the news of my mother, after killing Clyde. Directly escape the Holy Alliance’s sphere of influence through the channels of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.”

Linley was resolute in his heart.

The Holy Alliance was not attractive to Linley at all.

Nowadays, his only relative, his younger brother Little Walton, was also staying in the O’Brien Empire. This Sacred Alliance didn’t have the slightest hold on him either.

He wanted to kill Clyde. And still want his identity not to be exposed. It was almost impossible, so Linley could only make a small sacrifice. Anyway, for Linley, the Holy Alliance wasn’t very attractive.

Linley’s mansion, in the middle of the spring garden.

Linley was sitting cross-legged on the grass, practicing his Dragonblood Fighting Qi, his body’s Dragonblood Fighting Qi surging and rushing like waves, impacting all parts of his meridians.

In fact, the average seventh level warrior wouldn’t be able to withstand such cultivation. But Linley was different from them, Linley was drinking living dragon’s blood, and normally dragon’s blood was poured over the surface of the body. It would then make the body’s defense incredibly powerful. And the fact that Linley had swallowed dragon blood into his body also made the meridians tough to an astonishing degree.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of Linley’s mouth, and his face went white.

“Ah agonizingly low sounds came out of Linley’s throat.

At this moment, the maidservants and guards outside the spring garden gate also vaguely heard Linley’s low voice, and they pressed themselves against the courtyard gate and gazed carefully.

“Lord Linley, it seems like he’s in pain?”

One of the thinner attendants said suspiciously.

“It seems so.”

The other plumpier attendant maid nodded her head as well.

But they didn’t dare to barge in at all.

“Lord Linley?”

The thinner maid shouted out.

“Enter, enter.”

Linley’s voice rang out.

Those two maids looked at each other and immediately pushed open the courtyard door and ran in. However, when they ran to the location of the grass, they were shocked. There was a large pool of blood on the ground, and Linley was lying on the ground with a pale face.

“Help me back to my room.”

Linley said in a low voice.

“Aye. Yes.”

The two maids were a little flustered, one holding onto one of Linley’s arms, and immediately helped Linley into the middle of Linley’s solitary bedroom.

“My lord, would you like to hire a light system magician?”

The thinner maid hurriedly inquired.

“No need, I’m injured within my body, magicians are useless. I can only meditate and recuperate.”

Linley took a deep breath, then sat down on his knees on the bed and closed his eyes, “You two go out first.”

“Yes. My lord.”

The two maids respectfully left.

Regardless of whether it was the light system, or the water system and other various systems of healing magic, it was all a kind of restorative magic that allowed injuries to be repaired. There was nothing that could be done about injuries to the internal organs of the body.

In Linley’s room. There was only Linley and Yale.

“Old Three, you’re not injured?”

Yale said suspiciously. “Why are you pretending to be injured when you’re not? And looking for me so eagerly.”

Linley had sent someone to find Linley before he pretended to be injured.

Linley whispered, “Boss Yale, this matter concerns my great revenge. Boss Yale. I can tell you that that Clyde is most likely my mother-killer.”

“Mother-killer?”

Yale glared, “Senior, you want to?”

“Yeah. Revenge.”

Linley didn’t hide it from his good brother.

“That Clyde is a rank nine powerhouse, how are you going to take revenge? And he’s also the king of the Finlay Kingdom.”

Yale said in a panic, a little worried about Linley.

Linley said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’m already completely sure of how to deal with him. But once I kill Clyde, that’s when the Illuminati will be able to spare me from death, but the days will definitely be hard. That’s why I’ve decided to leave the Holy Alliance immediately after killing Clyde.”

“Leave the Holy Alliance?”

Yale froze, but in an instant he understood, “Yes, it’s time to leave. You leave this matter to me. My Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s commercial power has coverage in all the major cities of the Sacred Alliance, so to escape from the Sacred Alliance unknowingly is incredibly easy.”

“And we, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, also have masters of disguise and makeup and so on.”

Yale was full of confidence.

Linley also knew that the Dawson Chamber of Commerce was huge, one of the three major chambers of commerce on the Yulan Continent, was it a joke?

“I know, so Boss Yale, I’m asking you to send someone to wait for me at that hotel at the end of Greenleaf Road, and then as soon as I’m over there, you’ll help arrange for me to leave the Sacred Alliance.”

Linley was very confident that after he killed Clyde, he could definitely get to that hotel with ease.

“Don’t worry.”

Yale nodded.

“Lao San.”

Yale frowned as he looked at Linley, “You have to be careful yourself.”

Lin Meng smiled at Yale, “Boss Yale, you have to have faith in me.”

News of Linley’s injury spread quickly, and the first person to get the news wasn’t the King of the Finlay Kingdom, but Cardinal Gilmer of the Illuminati.

But soon, King Clyde, and many other nobles followed suit, knowing the news that Linley had been injured practicing. Cultivation injuries, although relatively rare, still existed. Generally, it was the kind of practice that was too hard, beyond the limits of the body’s ability to withstand, would lead to the collapse of the body, even to the point of injuring the internal organs of the body. “Now it’s time for Clyde to come.”

Linley sat on a chair in his bedroom wearing a loose robe with a pale face.

Bebe was also squatting on a chair on the ground to the side.

“Lord Linley.”

A maid outside ran over.

Linley couldn’t help but have his eyes light up, but immediately afterward Linley put on that frail appearance, looked at the maid as she came over, and blandly said, “What is it?”

“Lord Cardinal Gilmer is here.”

That maid hurriedly said.

“Oh?”

A wave of worry suddenly welled up in Linley’s heart.

Gilmer’s arrival was something he was expecting, but Linley suddenly thought …… that if Gilmer was here, and at this time Clyde came over. Then it would be troublesome for himself to deal with Clyde.

After all, Gilmer was a ninth level Grand Magus, and that Bloodshed Poison Poison Powder was something that weakened a warrior’s strength, it didn’t have much of an effect on a magician.

“Linley!”

At this time, Gilmer’s voice had sounded outside the door.
