Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 5: Knighthoods
The Ernst Magic Academy, for level 7 and higher magic spells is not open at all.
If you wanted to learn higher ones, you could only choose to defect to a certain party.
“Thank you, Lord Gilmer, Lord Lampson.”
Linley said gratefully.
Linley’s mind also couldn’t help but recall the descriptions he had read in books about some of the powerful magics of the wind system, and the higher up the wind system magic went, the more terrifying the power became. Especially the single attack magic, it could even be said to be the first of its kind.
Such as the forbidden magic ‘Sublime Blade’, such as the ninth level magic ‘Vacuum Extinction’.
“Linley, like this, when we return to Finlay City, I’ll immediately send someone to tell Clyde. Clyde will directly knighthood you and grant you a mansion in the near future.”
Gilmer said with a smile.
Linley nodded.
“Linley.”
Beside him, Lampson patted Linley’s shoulder affectionately, “You don’t need to worry about some of the things in the official world, all you need to do is quietly cultivate, I’d love to see another Saint Realm powerhouse come out of our Illuminati within fifty years.”
Fifty years?
Linley had the certainty in his heart that he would become a Saint Domain Dragonblood Warrior within fifty years. As for becoming a Saint Realm Magus in fifty years, it would be far too difficult.
“Work hard.”
Gilmer also enthusiastically patted Linley on the shoulder. …… A luxurious carriage ran along the country road, the sequoia trees beside it rapidly receding towards the back. In front of and behind the carriage were rows and rows of valiant knights. This luxurious caravan had already arrived at Finlay City at noon.
In Finlay City, in the middle of the living room of the Debus family’s mansion.
“Alice, are you able to forgive me?”
Karan said as he held Alice’s hand and gazed at Alice.
Alice carried a trace of helplessness. Gently nodded her head.
What could she do?
“Lorraine she’ll be here soon.”
Alice said softly, “I’ll go back first.”
No matter what, Alice and Karan were still not a couple, even if they were engaged they were not considered a couple. Only after the big wedding would the two be considered a real couple. And before the big wedding, Alice still needed to avoid the ground. Every day was a return to her own home.
“Lorraine?”
Karan couldn’t help but frown when he heard this name.
Rolene, was his Karan’s proper wife.
Because of the fame of the stone sculpture ‘Dream Wake’, it also made the woman carved by ‘Dream Wake’ go deep into the hearts of many people. Once Karan was engaged, I’m afraid that many people would recognize Alice. The Debus family had already chosen a proper wife for Karan in a short period of time.
“Karan.”
A cheerful voice rang out. Only to see a blonde girl with a long vertical braid run over cheerfully. This girl looked very pure and possessed that aristocratic aura as well. Especially those big poofy eyes were even more adorable.
“Lorraine. You came.”
Karan tried to squeeze out a smile.
Karan also had to admit that Rolene was a very cute girl. Being with Rolynn.
I’m afraid no one would refuse. It’s just that the real love of his heart was Alice.
“Where’s Uncle Bernard.”
Rolene’s big eyes kept looking around.
“Father he went out on an errand, I guess he’ll be back in a while.”
Karan replied.
Karan knew very well what his father had gone to do, because of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce’s suppression, making the Debus family in the Kingdom of Finlay all kinds of business almost all fell into collapse, every day in the loss, so loss, a year and a half is okay. But if the time is long. The family’s base is also too thick to bear.
Moreover, the family can’t just sit around and eat nothing. After all, the other families in the Kingdom of Finlay are also eyeing the ground.
So …… his father Bernard made a very threatening decision. Smuggling water jade stone mine.
Water jade, is a relatively precious crystal stone, generally used to set in the magic staff. For water magicians is very favorable. And water jade. In the Finlay Kingdom, the underground reserves are relatively large. And the Finlay Kingdom also relied on ‘Water Jade’ to earn a staggering amount of wealth.
Because of the preciousness of water jade, naturally, many people started to smuggle water jade.
However, the smuggling of Jadeite is abhorred by His Majesty King Clyde, for the smuggling merchants caught, Clyde is always directly executed. But because of the smuggling of water jade ore profit is too big, full of five or six times the profit, so big profit, enough to make these businessmen desperate.
In the past, the Debs family did not need to take risks, but now can not be.
The legitimate business path was completely blocked by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and the Debus family could only choose to smuggle!
“There shouldn’t be any accidents.”
Karan secretly said in his heart, “The person he chose to cooperate with, father, is now the Kingdom’s Minister of Finance, His Majesty’s own brother, Duke Patterson. To cooperate with him, the possibility of something going wrong should be very low.”
Paderson, was none other than the finance minister of the Finlay Kingdom.
As the one who managed the finances of a kingdom, it was natural for Clyde to have his newest appointee yet hold the position of finance minister.
“Uncle Bernard is back.”
Rolynn’s crisp voice rang out.
Karan also looked up.
Only to see Bernard walk in through the door with a smile on his face, and seeing Rolynn, he smiled and said, “Rolynn, you’re here, aren’t you? Have you had dinner yet?”
“Not yet.”
Lorraine replied.
Bernard nodded, “We’ll have dinner with your brother Karan tonight, en, I still have things to talk about with your brother Karan, so you’ll first in go chat with Alice. Later on, I’ll let your brother Karan come to accompany you.”
Bernard said and then gave a wink to Karan.
Karan obediently followed behind Bernard, and the two of them entered the secret room.
The stone door was closed and the candle was lit.
“Father, how is it?”
Karan anxiously inquired.
Bernard had a self-satisfied smile on his face, “I’ve carefully discussed with Duke Patterson, and he has agreed to us. But for this business, the profit is split fifty-fifty.”
“Fifty-fifty?”
Karan glared, “Father, this Duke Patterson’s appetite is too big, smuggling Water Jade Ore this matter, the funds are all from our family, even the men and horses are all from us. He is just arranging some channels and arranging safe routes for smuggling.”
It wasn’t that Karan didn’t understand the importance of channels.
But their Debus family spends too much money on the ground, and Padson doesn’t spend a single gold coin, just moves to close it and gets a huge fortune.
“A fifty-fifty split is still acceptable.”
Bernard said with a faint smile, “This Duke Patterson is not just arranging channels, but most importantly, by doing so, he is betraying the Kingdom of Finlay and betraying his brother. If Clyde knew that it was Padson who was his own brother, I’m afraid Clyde wouldn’t even be soft.”
Karan nodded slightly.
The other party a Duke. And a Chancellor of the Exchequer. It was understandable to risk so much to arrange the channel and get half of the profit. …… Bernard walked out of the secret room with Karan. Returned to the living room. And at this time Rolynn was chatting with Alice.
“By the way, Karan. I just learned from Patterson that in three more days, His Majesty the King will personally bestow a knighthood on Linley in the middle of the royal palace.”
Bernard commanded, “You go prepare a gift for me, I’m going to give it to Linley in a few days.”
Karan nodded.
And not far away, Alice, who was talking to Rolynn, couldn’t help but glance towards here.
“Big brother Linley, to be knighted?”
Alice murmured in her heart.
In the middle of the great hall of the royal palace in Finlay City.
Dozens of noble ministers stood in an orderly fashion beneath the great hall, while Clyde towered above them.
Looking down on the crowd below.
“Everyone. I have a big event to announce today.”
Clyde smiled brightly and said aloud. Some of the ministers who had secretly gotten the news were well aware of what Clyde was going to say. Clyde glanced towards the attendant next to him. That court attendant immediately shouted aloud, “Summon Linley Baruch, into the hall.”
The voice spread out, and after a moment – dressed in a black and gold mage robe, Linley strolled into the middle of the great hall. All of the nobles and ministers in the entire hall turned their gazes towards Linley.
“Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Linley bowed and said respectfully.
Clyde looked at Linley as if a flower had bloomed on his face with a smile, “Linley, I’m very pleased that you’ve been able to serve the kingdom. I will now make you the first court magician of the Kingdom of Finlay, and bestow upon you the title of Marquis.”
“Gentlemen, any comments?”
Clyde swept a glance below.
The noble ministers of the land below all looked enviously at Linley, but none of them raised any objections.
“My lord, thank you, Your Majesty.”
Linley immediately bowed and thanked him.
In fact, according to Cardinal Gilmer’s words, the Illuminati was perfectly capable of making Linley a duke. It was just that Linley thought that would be far too shocking. After all, he hadn’t had a knighthood at all in the past. It wouldn’t be good to elevate too much at once.
So take a step back and become a marquis first.
“Linley you are the first court magician and a marquis. Naturally, you can no longer live in the Dawson Chamber’s place. I’ve arranged a very secluded mansion for you. It’s on Greenleaf Road not far from the royal palace.”
Clyde said with a smile.
Linley immediately thanked him again.
In fact, regarding titles, mansions, and whatnot, Clyde had already talked to Linley last night, and today, in the great hall of the royal palace, it was merely a public announcement.
When leaving the great hall, Linley also talked to these ministers.
The highest echelons of the Kingdom of Finlay consisted of a handful of people such as the head of the army, the right minister, the left minister, the finance minister, and the inspection minister. These few people were in charge of almost every kind of matter within the entire Kingdom of Finlay.
Most of these people’s titles were dukes, and the lowest one, the Minister of Supervision, was also a marquis.
On the Greenleaf Road.
Linley sat on the carriage, eyes closed in meditation.
“Lord Linley, it’s here.”
A servant’s voice came from outside the carriage.
Linley opened his eyes, and then he lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. And Bebe directly jumped up from the carriage on top of Linley’s shoulders.
“Wow, what a large mansion.”
Bebe’s eyes were glowing as he looked at the mansion in front of him.
Linley also looked carefully at this mansion given by His Majesty the King, this mansion did indeed cover an extremely wide area, the gate alone was ten meters wide, and through the open gate Linley could see a number of male and female servants inside, as well as a number of knights from the divine temple.
“Not bad.”
Linley nodded and stepped inside.
“My lord.”
The attendant at the gate bowed respectfully, and instantly the maidservants and manservants in the mansion’s front yard all stopped in unison and bowed to Linley.
It was important to make a good impression on their master for the first time, and the servants here were aware of their master’s excellence.
“Master Linley, congratulations, congratulations.”
Suddenly a familiar voice came from the side.
Linley turned his head to look, “Mr. Bernard.”
The person who came was none other than the Debus family’s patriarch, Bernard, who looked at Linley with a smile, “Master Linley, it’s really quite a coincidence that my family’s mansion is also on Greenleaf Road, it’s just one house away from you here. It will be much simpler to travel to and from in the future.”
“Oh.”
Linley also remembered that when he had first saved Alice, Karan and the others and sent them to the Karan family, the Karan family seemed to be not far away.
“But your mansion, Master Linley, is much larger than my family’s. Your mansion used to be where His Majesty himself lived.”
Bernard said respectfully.
Linley also felt that this mansion was astonishingly large, much larger than even his own ancestral home. To have such a large mansion in Finlay City, where every inch of land was gold, it wasn’t something that could be achieved by simply having money. This turned out to be the place where His Majesty Clyde himself resided, no wonder.
“Mr. Bernard, I’ll be heading back first, we’ll talk again sometime later.”
With a humble smile, Linley turned his head and stepped into the middle of the mansion.
And at this time, at the entrance to the Debus family, the three of them, Kahlan, Lorraine, and Alice, were standing together looking at the place from afar.
