Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 4: Night Talks

“Padson!”

Linley silently recited this name, his own mother back then was was sent by Paderson to take him captive, and a dozen years later, his own father was also sent by Paderson to hunt him down and kill him because he was looking into his mother’s affairs, and eventually died of serious injuries.

The killing opportunity in Linley’s heart had been lurking like the boiling magma at the bottom of a volcano, but one day it would erupt.

“Boss, I’ll kill this Padson on your behalf.”

The little shadow mouse lying next to Linley’s soul transmitted a voice.

“Don’t move.”

Linley’s soul transmission droned.

Linley himself was still kneeling in the middle of the living room, and one by one, the nobles outside the door walked in one after another to pay their respects to Linley’s father.

Linley hadn’t attended a single banquet that day, he had been kneeling in the living room to observe his father’s mourning.

Many of the nobles left Wushan Town in the evening and went back to Finlay City, but there were still some nobles who stayed in Wushan Town.

For example, Cardinal Gilmer, for example, Delia …… needs a full seven days to observe her filial piety.

That night, Linley casually ate some food before returning to his bedroom to prepare to continue cultivating.

“Linley, how are you going to avenge your father?”

Derinkelwalt, who was still dressed in moon white robes, appeared beside him.

Linley glanced at Delinquent, “Grandpa Delin, I will definitely avenge my father’s murder. Although I now know that it was this Duke Patterson who sent people after my father, I now, in addition to taking revenge, also need to find out the news of my mother in the first place, whether she is alive or dead ……”

Killing Patterson was simple.

But killing Patterson was going to be difficult if no one else could detect it. After all, Linley had to continue to inquire about his mother’s news in addition to killing Padeson.

Drinkwater nodded slightly, “You make your own decisions about your affairs. It’s just that I hope you don’t get hot-headed in the heat of the moment. After all, your current strength is still too weak compared to the truly powerful, it’s Paderson, all of his men combined are still stronger than you.”

Linley nodded slightly.

Patterson was Clyde’s own brother, would he have fewer men under him?

“It’s estimated that in less than a year, I’ll be able to cultivate from a rank six warrior to a rank seven warrior, I can’t afford to waste time.”

Linley sat cross-legged on the bed, the Dragonblood Fighting Qi in his body beginning to penetrate all over his body again, and both his sinews and muscles began to tremble and bulge.

Linley’s sinews and muscles slowly strengthened at a rate that could be felt, and the very subtle dragonblood warrior bloodline fused with the sinews and muscles. Enhancing the sturdiness as well as the toughness of the sinews and muscles.

The Dragon’s Blood Secret Code had only begun to be cultivated, but the progress was indeed very fast.

Under this kind of cultivation. Linley couldn’t feel the passage of time in the slightest.

Around eleven o’clock in the night.

“Dang!”

“Knock!”

“Knock!” …… The sound of a knock on the door rang out, and at the same time, a familiar voice rang out, “Linley. I’m Delia, can I come in?”

Linley was stunned.

“Whew.”

Linley took a deep breath, the muscles and tendons that had originally been bulging and trembling returning to normal, the Dragonblood Fighting Qi in his body returning to his lower abdominal dantian once more. Linley looked in the direction of the door to his room, and in his heart, he couldn’t help but be a little puzzled: “What is Delia doing here late at night?”

Thinking in his heart, Linley said directly on his lips, “Come in.”

Pushing open the door to the room, Delia walked in.

Seeing Delia. Linley couldn’t help but have his eyes light up. At the moment, Delia’s long golden hair was simply coiled up. There were just a few tassels hanging down, and that lavender dress added a touch of elegance. Linley had to admit …… that Delia was indeed very charming.

Especially as a direct descendant of the Lane family. Delia clearly had a more noble temperament than Alice.

“Linley, are you alright?”

Delia inquired softly, and sat down as soon as she walked over to Linley’s bed. Concernedly, she looked at Linley. Linley couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart and said with a smile, “It’s fine.”

Delia nodded, “I was a little worried when I heard the news about your father in Finlay City. But …… you really are as strong as I thought in my heart.”

“Thank you.”

Linley said immediately afterward, “Delia, is there something going on at this late hour?”

“Idiot.”

Derinkelwalt beside him cursed Linley.

A girl had come to talk to you in the middle of the night to comfort you. But you talk like this.

Delia gave a slightly nervous smile before returning to her usual self-composed state, “Why, can’t I talk to you if there’s nothing to talk about? After all, I’ve known you since we were first years at the Ernst Magic Academy. When did you become so distant from me.”

“No, no.”

Linley said evenly.

Delia couldn’t help but smile, and then Delia let out a long sigh and said, “Linley, coming over so late today, I do have one thing I want to tell you.”

“Speak.”

Linley couldn’t help but guess what Delia was going to say in his heart.

Delia said helplessly, “As you know, Linley, it’s already the 9999th year of the Yulan Calendar, and there’s still eight months to go before the 10,000th year of the Yulan Calendar. The first day of every year is the biggest festival in the entire Yulan Continent, the ‘Yulan Festival’, and the importance of the Yulan Festival, which is in the 10,000th year of the Yulan Calendar, is once again imaginable.”

Linley nodded.

It was just that Linley didn’t understand why Delia was saying this.

“Although the entire Yulan Continent attaches great importance to the ‘Yulan Festival’, our Yulan Empire is the one that attaches the most importance to it.”

Delia continued.

Linley also understood that, after all, the first year of the Yulan Calendar was the year in which the Yulan Empire unified the entire Yulan Continent. The ‘Yulan Festival’ in the 10,000th year of the Yulan Calendar was indeed an extremely important big day for the Yulan Empire.

“My family has also given orders that I must rush back to my family for this Magnolia Festival. This Yulan Festival, my Yulan Empire will be celebrating with the entire nation, and naturally, as a direct descendant of the Lane Family, I can’t be an exception.”

Delia looked at Linley, “Linley, the Yulan Empire is too far away from the Holy Alliance, I’m afraid that it will take more than a year or nearly two years for this coming and going, whereas tomorrow I will immediately set off to go back to my homeland.”

Linley understood what Delia meant.

That was to say, for more than a year in the future, Delia and himself wouldn’t be able to see each other, I’m afraid.

Delia looked at Linley and bit her lip before saying, “Linley. Can I hug you before I leave?”

“A hug?”

Linley was stunned and looked at Delia.

Linley was very clear about Delia’s feelings towards himself. It was only because the two had been in contact with each other so much, having known each other since first year at the Ernst Magic Academy. In Linley’s mind, Delia could be considered a confidante. Especially after what happened to Alice, Linley’s heart could be said to have frozen.

Looking at Delia’s gaze, Linley nodded.

A smile appeared on Delia’s face, and she immediately reached out and wrapped her arms around Linley’s neck, leaning her body forward to stay close to Linley’s body. Delia’s face was also gently pressed against Linley’s.

Linley could even feel each other’s breathing.

He could also smell the charming fragrance of Delia’s body. Especially when the two faces touched, the temperature of each other’s skin passed …… which caused Linley to feel a peculiarly strange sensation.

“Linley. Thank you.”

Delia murmured in Linley’s ear.

Linley didn’t make a sound.

Delia slowly straightened her body, only her eyes still gazing into Linley’s eyes. But when she was halfway straightened up. Delia was frozen in place. When her and Linley’s eyes were only five centimeters apart from each other, they froze.

Suddenly, Delia leaned over.

Delia’s lips were right on Linley’s, and Linley froze.

Delia didn’t give Linley any time to react at all, and quickly got up. After glancing at Linley, she quickly ran out of Linley’s bedroom.

“Boss, you’ve been forcibly kissed!”

Bebe, who had emerged from the quilt next to him with a small head, was staring at Linley.

“You go to sleep.”

Linley’s soul transmission chided.

Bebe muttered a few times in dissatisfaction before shrinking back under the covers. And Linley looked at the door to Delia’s departing bedroom room. But between his nostrils, he could still vaguely smell the scent of Delia’s body, and the skin on his face seemed to remember the faint warmth of Delia’s face from just now.

He touched his lips. Linley felt a warmth in his heart, like the kind of warmth he had felt when he was chatting with Alice on the two-story balcony late at night.

“Delia …….”

Shaking his head, Linley dismissed his wild thoughts.

“Linley.”

Drinkwater looked at Linley with interest. “Back when you were a kid before you went to the Ernst Magic Academy, the first time you saw that little Delia girl, I said that she was a beauty. I let you kid chase after her, and now, you regret it, don’t you?”

Linley frowned and glanced at Delinquent Corvette.

“Well, I won’t say it either.”

Derinkelwalt’s white beard twitched, and his entire person turned into a white stream of light and entered the Ring of the Coiled Dragon.

Linley then stopped thinking about it and sat down on his bed again with his knees crossed, beginning a meditative exercise of his spiritual power.

The next morning, Delia led the Lane family’s men and horses out of Wushan Town, and Linley didn’t see them off, he still knelt in the living room to observe his filial piety.

In the blink of an eye, Linley’s seven days of mourning had already passed.

In addition to Yale and a few of Linley’s good brothers, there were only two big names left in the entire town of Wushan–Gilmer and Lampson.

As cardinals, Gilmer and Rampson didn’t usually have much to do, after all, they had their men to take care of all the small trivial matters. Their days were naturally easy, and in the past few days, they were also frequently touring around Usan Town, and from time to time, they even entered the middle of Usan Mountain.

In the morning, the residents of Wu Shan Town were watching from both sides of the streets.

The Illuminati’s men and women, as well as the Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s men and women, were beginning to advance.

“Boss Yale, second, fourth, I have something to talk to Lord Gilmer and the others about.”

Linley spoke to his good brothers, and then directly left the Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s carriage before entering Lord Cardinal Gilmer’s carriage.

Lampson also entered it, and the two Lord Cardinals and Linley then shared a carriage.

However, this carriage was specially made for the Cardinal Archbishop, and the interior space was so large that the three of them even had enough space to lie down and sleep.

“Linley, have you made a decision?”

Gilmer looked at Linley with a smile.

At first, Linley had told Gilmer that he needed to discuss with his father about whether or not to become a member of the Illuminati, but now that Hogg was dead. Linley naturally had no one to discuss it with, and now he should also tell the other party the answer.

“Lord Gilmer, Lord Lampson, I’m still young nowadays, I think …… that for the time being, let me assist His Majesty Clyde, and it won’t be necessary to enter the Holy See to serve. When the Holy See needs me in the future, I can be drafted at any time.”

Linley said.

Gilmer and Lampson both laughed.

His Majesty Clyde? Clyde was the king of the Kingdom of Finlay, and the Kingdom of Finlay’s kingdom, ‘Finlay City’, was at the same time the Holy Capital of the Illuminati. And the Kingdom of Finlay was required to listen to the orders of the Illuminati.

For Linley to assist Clyde was equivalent to serving the Illuminati.

“Very well.”

Lampson was the first to smile, “Linley, this is a very wise decision.”

Neither Lampson nor Gilmore knew that the most important reason why Linley had made this choice was to inquire about his mother. He would only have more opportunities to deal with Duke Patterson in the future if he got involved in affairs amongst the Kingdom of Finlay.

Gilmer also smiled and said, ”You are now considered a part of our Illuminati.

By the way, you still don’t have the Earth System, Wind System level 7, 8, 9, and forbidden magic spells, right? “”Yes.””

Linley nodded, “I just had speculated on the magic incantation for the Flight spell from the principles of magic.”

Gilmer said with satisfaction, “Flight magic incantation deduction isn’t too difficult, but you being able to deduce it from the floating technique can be considered pretty good. Linley, don’t worry, when I return to the Holy See I’ll quickly send someone to send you all the level 7 and later level 7 magic spells of the Earth and Wind systems.”
