Chapter 1: The Dusty Past
Hillman's clothes on his shoulders, which were grabbed by Lin Lei's dragon claws, were punctured, and the bright red blood slowly seeped out, staining the clothes red.
But Hillman didn't seem to realize it.
Hillman stared at Lin Lei and said in a deep voice, "Lin Lei, you calm down first." ”
"Tell me. Lin Lei stared at Lin Lei.
Hillman said solemnly: "The cavalry team behind is coming over soon, don't let others know about your family's affairs for the time being." You come with me first. Hillman broke free of Lin Lei's claws, grabbed Lin Lei's arm covered with black dragon scales, and wanted to drag Lin Lei in the direction of the sect, but this drag did not move.
"Lin Lei. Hillman turned around, a little angry.
"Uncle Hillman, I know what is important. ”
Lin Lei's face was as heavy as water, but he took a deep breath, and the dragon scales covered by his arms were once again included in his body. The whole person returned to his normal appearance. When he squatted down and held the knife 'slaughter' in his arms again, Lin Lei heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.
The cavalry of the Holy See of Light had finally arrived.
Lin Lei looked back and glanced indifferently, but he didn't care about them, and said directly to Hillman: "Uncle Hillman, you lead the way ahead." ”
"Good. ”
Hillman also felt a little better when he saw that Lin Lei could calm down, and immediately took Lin Lei in the direction of the sect. And Lin Lei is still calm, at this moment, I am afraid that except for Lin Lei himself, others can't imagine the deep pain hidden under Lin Lei's calm surface.
Neither 'Bebe' nor Drinkwater said anything.
They had a connection with Lin Lei's soul, and naturally felt Lin Lei's unprecedented pain and sadness.
The wind rose and rolled up the dead leaves on the stone pavement that had existed for an unknown number of years.
"Squeak-"
Hillman pushed open the door of the sect hall and then looked at Lin Lei, who walked into it with a calm face holding the sword 'slaughter'. But his gaze stayed on the rows of spiritual positions in the sect hall, and with Lin Lei's current eyesight, he could clearly see the latest and most front rank.
There are only a few words on the obverse: 'Hogg & Baruch'.
Lin Lei, who still had a hint of illusion, felt dizzy in his brain, but he still stood firm. Then Lin Lei stepped forward with the war knife 'Slaughter', and finally placed the giant war knife 'Slaughter' on the stone table where the spiritual seat was placed.
Lin Lei looked at the spirit position, a quiet smile appeared on his face, and said softly, "Father, I'm back." ”
"I know that your greatest wish in this life is to recover the treasure of your family's inheritance, and even to restore the glory of our Dragon-Blood Warrior family. Lin Lei seemed to be worried about alarming someone. He spoke very softly, very carefully.
Lin Lei stared at this spiritual position: "I didn't disappoint you. I've brought back my Baruch family, the sword 'slaughter', the treasure of my dragon-blooded warrior family. ”
"Now. I'll bring back the sword 'Slaughter', and soon, I'll bring my Dragonblood clan back to glory." I will let the people of the entire Magnolia Continent know the glory of the Dragonblood Warrior Family, and I will also let your name be known by the entire Magnolia Continent. ”
"I swear, I'll do it all. ”
Lin Lei's face suddenly had a hint of anger, "Of course, before this, I want to avenge you." ”
No doubt. His father, Hogg, must have been killed.
Otherwise, with the strength of his father's sixth-level warrior. In addition, he is in the prime of life, and he will not be killed by ordinary diseases at all. If it is the place of illness and death. Uncle Hillman is not going to hide it at all. With Lin Leidi's intuition, his father's death was by no means ordinary.
"Kill your people. I'm going to let him die!! too."
Lin Lei's eyes seemed to have a trace of the indifferent dark gold of the thorn-backed iron armor dragon, a dark gold that made people's hearts tremble.
Lin Lei suddenly turned his head and looked at Hillman: "Uncle Hillman, tell me, how did my father die? Also, where is my father buried? And you said that your father has been dead for more than three months, why haven't you told me." Hillman opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
"Lin Lei, you calm down first. Hillman said slowly.
Calm down?
How to calm down?
"How I longed to be able to see my father 'slaughter' with his own eyes, how I longed for my father to see that he could also become a dragon-blooded warrior, how much I wanted to see my father's smile, that happy smile after seeing the 'slaughter' of the sword, and how proud I saw myself become a 'dragon-blooded warrior......'! None of this is possible. ”
Lin Lei felt that his heart was like a knife.
At this time, Hillman also wants to calm him down!
Lin Lei wanted to lash out at Hillman, but he held back. Take a deep breath and swallow all the unwillingness and anger into your stomach. Lin Lei stared at Hillman: "Uncle Hillman, tell me everything that happened, I want to know everything." ”
"Your father died, three months ago. But before your father died, he asked me...... Unless you reach the strength of a seventh-level warrior, you can't tell him the cause of his death. Hillman said solemnly.
"Rank 7 warrior?"
"Yes. Hillman nodded lightly, "That's why I went to your academy to look for you, but I didn't tell you about your father's death." According to your father's wishes before he died, he wants you to try to cultivate peacefully without knowing the news of his death. ”
Hillman looked at Lin Lei: "Lin Lei, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but because this is your father's last wish, and I can't disobey it." Unless you reach the strength of a seventh-level warrior, I will be able to tell you everything. ”
Lin Lei understood.
Rank 7 warrior?
Lin Lei took out a leather notebook from his bosom and handed it to Hillman.
"Is this?" Hillman took in a daze.
"Magician-level proof. Lin Lei's face was calm.
Every magician is awarded this Wizard's Certificate from the very beginning of their ranking. With each level, there will be a record on it.
Hillman opened the book, and there were seven dazzling stars on the land.
"Seventh-level, seventh-level dual-lineage magician?" Hillman was stunned. Looking at Lin Lei in disbelief.
How old is Lin Lei?
Seventeen years old.
What does it mean to be a seventeen-year-old dual-lineage magician? Hillman didn't know, but he knew. In the entire Finlay Kingdom, the most powerful mage is also the eighth level mage. But it was an old man in his hundreds.
Hillman still remembers when he was in the army, when a seventh-level magician arrived, that kind of grandeur, that kind of majesty.
But Xiao Lin Lei, who watched him grow up, turned out to be a seventh-level dual-system magician in a blink of an eye.
"Is this, is this true?" Hillman asked a very stupid question, and Hillman knew that the magician's proof would never be fake.
"Uncle Hillman. You can tell me the truth now. Lin Lei stared at Hillman.
Hillman nodded, and walked towards the secret room behind the hall. After only a while, he came out, walked up to Lin Lei and took out a letter from his arms. handed it to Lin Lei and said softly: "This is the letter that your father left before he died. You know it when you see it. ”
Lin Lei's slightly trembling hands stretched out and took the letter.
There was no handwriting on the envelope.
When I opened the envelope, there were two pages inside.
"Lin Lei: When you open this letter, I may have been dead for a long, long time.
I am extremely sorry for you and Wharton, but I can't make it up to you. I just want you to be able to spend as much time as possible in peace, so I'll let you Uncle Hillman. I'll give you this letter when you reach level 7 warriors. "See here. Lin Lei's heart was sour.
Let yourself be calm for a while, I'm afraid my father wouldn't have imagined that he would become a seventh-level magician so quickly. After all, at a normal pace, from level six to level seven. It's going to take a long time.
"Lin Lei, I have always kept a secret in my heart, your mother did not die because of Wharton's childbirth. ”
Father's words shocked Lin Lei's heart.
Since he was a child, Lin Lei knew that his mother died because of Wharton's dystocia. But now it seems that it was just a lie.
"When your mother was pregnant again, she and I were very happy, but the medical conditions in our Wushan Town were too poor, I set off with your mother to Finlay City, in Finlay City, your mother gave birth to little Wharton safely, little Wharton is very cute, your mother and I are very happy, not long after Wharton was born, I and your mother took little Wharton to the Temple of Light to pray for Wharton. Your mother and I were very happy that day, and then we left the Temple of Light and stayed overnight at the hotel in Finlay. ”
"That night, a group of mysterious people came to the hotel and snatched your mother directly. I was outnumbered and only saved Wharton, but I also saw that one of the killers had a red spider birthmark on his arm. ”
Seeing this, Lin Lei felt as if he had returned to that night more than ten years ago.
Under the siege and robbery of a group of mysterious people, the outnumbered father can only save Wharton, and can only watch his powerlessness to save his beloved wife.
"I know, that group of people is not ordinary people, the weakest are all fourth-level warriors, and the strongest one is stronger than me, fortunately, the purpose of those people is only your mother, otherwise I would have been killed a long time ago. Being able to dispatch such a team is not a small person in Finlay City. I didn't dare to say anything, I came back with little Wharton, and I just said that your mother died in childbirth. And this secret is known to both the butler Ciri and your Uncle Hillman. ”
When Lin Lei saw this, he was puzzled.
Of those people, the strongest was stronger than his father. But they didn't care about their father, they just snatched their mother. But where is the mother worthy of the other party's snatching?
"I can't tell you this, I've kept this secret deep in my heart for more than ten years. I don't dare to say it...... I can't even go alone to find out if your mother is alive or dead, and who is that group? ”
Father's words also made Lin Lei's heart ache.
"I am the heir of the Dragon-Blood Warrior family, and at least I must raise you up. I can't let the Baruch family break their roots. I endure it year after year, but I can't sleep late every night, and whether your mother lives or dies has tormented me all the time. I endured it...... I've endured it for eleven years!"
"Lin Lei, you make me very proud. First became a student of the No. 1 Magic Academy in the Magnolia Continent, and then became a genius of the Ernst Academy of Magic, I have great confidence in you. Even the concentration of the blood warrior's bloodline in Wharton's body has reached the requirement. I am proud that my two sons are so good, that I am worthy of the ancestors of the Baruch family! But even at this time, I dare not inquire about your mother, for Wharton still needs a lot of money to pay for the expensive tuition. ”
"I've endured it for eleven years, and when you handed me the large amount of magic crystal nuclei you obtained from the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I knew that day...... I can finally let go of everything to inquire about your mother's life and death, although your mother has not come back for the past eleven years, and your mother is dead, but I don't want to give up, even if I die, I have to avenge her. ”
When Lin Lei saw this, his hands trembled.
Lin Lei understood that in the past, his father was responsible for his younger brother's expensive tuition, so he never dared to investigate his mother's affairs regardless of life and death. But his magic crystal nucleus, which was worth nearly 80,000 gold coins, made his father completely unburdened.
"I can finally investigate, I have changed my appearance and changed my identity to lurk in the city of Finlay. I began to track down the events of that year. ”
"But it's been too long, I only know that there is a red spider birthmark on my arm, and I have been investigating for nearly a year, and finally found the person with the red spider birthmark. I continued to check along this line, and gradually ...... I finally got to know the people behind this group of people. ”
"The person behind this group of people is none other than the younger brother of His Majesty King Clyde in the royal family of the current Finlay Kingdom, the Duke of Padson. ”
