Chapter 9: The Engagement
"Lord Deciduous Leaves. "Gilmer saw that Lin Lei was so rude, and hurriedly apologized to the 'falling leaves'. "Lord Fallen Leaves, this Lin Lei is only seventeen years old this year. I hope Lord Fallen Leaves will forgive him for his disrespect. ”
Gilmer is well aware of the influence of 'Fallen Leaves' in the Holy See of Light, and this Lord of Fallen Leaves can be regarded as the spiritual leader of the ascetic land, that is, the Pope of Light. It is also impossible to forcibly order the fallen leaves to do anything.
Fallen Leaf's wrinkled right hand, which was like a chicken's paw, gently touched his messy beard. Looking at the back of the distant forest mine with interest: "Disrespectful? No, no, you can't say disrespectful." It can only be said that this kid is very decisive. ”
Gilmer was stunned.
He didn't expect Lord Fallen Leaves to have a bad impression of Lin Lei at the beginning. Now it seems that I appreciate Lin Lei.
"Gilmer. Fallen Leaf looked at Gilmer.
"Lord Fallen Leaves, please command. Gilmer said respectfully.
Falling Leaves smiled and said: "This Lin Lei is full of murderous intent in his heart, and he is decisive, I think." A person like him will never hesitate to do things or kill people. Such people. It is most suitable to be a sharp sword for our Holy See of Light. ”
Gilmer understood what it meant.
Although the doctrine of the Holy See of Light is to exhort people to do good. However, the Holy See of Light is also ruthless in its treatment of infidels. This requires ruthlessness, which is why the Inquisition was formed in the first place.
"Maybe in the future, this young man named Lin Lei will become the first inquisitor of the Inquisition in Xindi. Fallen Leaf said softly.
Gilmer couldn't help but look at the back of the departing Lin Lei.
Presiding Inquisition?
Gilmer knew very well that the 'inquisition' of the Inquisition could be regarded as the second person in the Holy See, and to some extent even considered the status of the 'inquisition' of the Inquisition to be equal to that of the Pope of Light.
Pope of Light. He is the supreme head of the Holy See.
And the Inquisition 'Presiding Judge'. It is in the darkness of the Holy See of Light. The leader of the Supreme Armed Forces!
"Lord Fallen Leaves, would you like to guide him?" Gilmer asked again.
Fallen leaves still shook their heads.
"Why?" Gilmer was a little confused, why was he reluctant to guide him if he admired the other party?
Luo Ye shook his head and said, "My cultivation method is not suitable for him, and the path I take requires a pure heart. yearn for the light to practice, and he ...... Walking on the ground should be the path of killing. ”
Gilmer nodded.
"Gilmer. You don't have to choose a teacher for him, the real strongman. They all rely on their own understanding to find a path that belongs to them, and others teach them. It is always someone else who understands it. ”
Falling Leaves looked at Gilmer, "You are now a ninth-level Grand Wizard. But why haven't I been instructing you? That's why. Even if I tell you that I realize, I feel.
You still can't succeed, because only when you go through things again and again, can your mind be transformed again and again, and you can realize the deepest mysteries, that you can finally succeed. ”
"Remember. On your own. Fallen leaves said with a smile.
Gilmer nodded.
He didn't set foot in the sanctuary. He couldn't understand the difference between the Sanctuary and the ninth level, although he sometimes wondered if the 'fallen leaves' were deliberately cherishing himself. But at this moment, the fallen leaves sincerely look at and sound. Convinced him of the fallen leaves.
"Perhaps, it's really on your own. ”
Gilmer has also been a ninth-level Grand Mage for a long time. He is also eager to break through.
After all, the ninth level is the same as the Holy Domain. It is the gap between the earth and the heavens and the earth.
Lin Lei Di Mansion, Spring Garden.
By the hot spring pool, Lin Lei was sitting cross-legged and quiet.
"Bubbling~" Lin Lei's body kept coming from various strange sounds, and Lin Lei's bones and muscles were constantly squirming and trembling. Beads of sweat slowly seep through every pore throughout the body.
Cultivating the Dragon Blood Secret Codex, the effect is more than ten times better than the ordinary Dou Qi Secret Codex.
The cultivation requirements of the Dragon Blood Secret Book are so demanding. It should have such an effect.
"Human cultivation. Why are they all so troublesome, and there are all kinds of vindictive secrets. Or are you going to have different physiques?" Bei Bei lay next to Lin Leidi, glanced at Lin Lei with his little head, and his heart was full of doubts.
As a magical beast, it is also very simple when cultivating. It is to directly absorb the dark elements of the outside world. Blends into all parts of the body. Merge into the Crystal Nucleus.
There is no mystery, just very ordinary absorption.
Lin Lei has always maintained this quiet life. I spend most of my time cultivating every day, and several cultivation methods just work together effectively to make my body able to bear it.
More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye.
"Whew!"
Lin Lei was holding the 'Purple Blood' Divine Sword. Practice the basic moves again and again.
What angle out of the sword is the most, fast.
How to control the tremor of purple blood to counteract the obstruction of the air as much as possible, so that the speed of the sword can reach faster.
Boring sword out again and again.
Every time Lin Lei manually. It's a purple streamer.
It's fast. It's heart-wrenching.
But Lin Lei was still not satisfied, he pursued the limit again and again. With the wind magician's perception of the wind element. Strive to make 'Purple Blood' more elegant. Faster.
"Your Excellency!" The sound of a waiter was heard outside the spring garden.
Lin Lei paused, and then with a move in his hand, the purple blood divine sword in his hand disappeared. Others didn't notice that Lin Leidi's purple-blooded soft sword was already wrapped around his waist.
Even ordinary people will think that this is a purple belt.
"Come on. Lin Lei said out loud at this time.
Suddenly, a pretty maid ran in quickly, glanced at Lin Lei with a hint of admiration, and immediately bowed her head and said respectfully: "My lord, the Debs family sent someone to send an invitation. As he spoke, he picked up the invitation.
Lin Lei looked at the invitation.
The main color of the invitation card is red. The edges are surrounded by gold. The two big words 'invitation' are on the cover.
"Invitations?"
Lin Lei took it. Then I opened it, and what I saw was really what I thought.
"On June 18th, Carlan is going to hold an engagement ceremony with Rowling and Alice, who is this Rowling?" Lin Lei looked at the content of the invitation. His brows furrowed.
"You can step down. Lin Lei said indifferently.
"Yes. My lord. The maid said respectfully. Then he left the spring garden.
"Boss. The Debs Ground family. Is that Alice getting engaged?" Bei Bei jumped onto Lin Lei's shoulder, and then stretched out his head to look at the invitation.
"Huh. Rowling, who is Rowling?" Bei Bei looked at Lin Lei suspiciously.
Drinkwater also appeared on the side. Glancing at the invitation, a smile appeared on his face.
"Grandpa Delin. Ray looked at Drinkwater.
"Who do you wonder who this Rowling is?" Drinkwater is an old man. It was understood in an instant. "It's simple. Your stone sculpture 'waking up' has made many people familiar with the appearance of 'Alice', although they don't know Alice, but once in the engagement ceremony. Those people saw Alice. Definitely recognizable. Alice is your prototype of the stone carving. The feelings contained in your 'waking up' can be felt by anyone who has studied stone carving. Also because of this. The Debs family would never let Alice become Kalan's Zhengqin. And this Rowling, I'm afraid it's Kalandi Zhengqin. ”
Lin Lei was stunned, [.]
Alice. Isn't it Kalandi Zhengqin?
On the Magnolia continent. Zhengqin has a very high status. The other wives were much lower in status.
"Just because of me?" Lin Lei's mood became complicated for a moment.
Alice was unable to become a Kalandi Zhengqin because of her stone carving.
"Lin Lei, are you still going to this engagement ceremony?" Drinkwater asked.
"Go. Of course go. Lin Lei's eyes instantly became firm, and then he smiled, "Bernard has invited me several times. This time, I sent an invitation again, how could I not go?"
Lin Lei then looked at the blue sky, and the silky white clouds in the sky were floating.
A long time ago, I used to sit on the grass with Alice and look at the blue sky.
June 18th.
According to the priests of the Holy See of Light, it was a very good day. The Debs family chose this day for their engagement.
On this day, the door of the Debs family was full of traffic and people came and went.
A noble lord. Rich people. And beautiful noblewomen. Pretty aristocratic lady. Handsome aristocratic youth. this day. In the whole city of Fenlai, it can be said that the Debs family is the place where the nobles gather the most.
"Lord Marquis Linlei. To-"
The voice of the Debs family attendant became a little higher-pitched. Dressed in a black gentleman's outfit, Lin Lei stepped into the hall of the Debs family's mansion.
Many nobles in the hall stopped talking almost at the same time and turned their heads to look at Lin Lei.
Lin Lei looked around the hall, with a slight smile on his face, Lin Leidi's demeanor completely echoed the gorgeous bearing of the nobles.
"Lord Lin Lei, welcome to you. ”
Bernard, who had been talking with the guests, immediately walked towards Lin Lei. Next to Bernard was a gorgeously dressed Kalan. Karan is the protagonist today!
"Mr. Bernard. Lin Lei smiled slightly, "Congratulations on your son's engagement." And it's two beautiful ladies at a time. ”
"Tune, tune. Bernard said enthusiastically.
Karan also said respectfully: "Lord Lin Lei." Welcome. I hope you enjoyed today. ”
Lin Lei glanced at Kalan. Just nodded and looked at Bernard without saying much: "Mr. Bernard, you can receive other guests, I'll go to the side first."
The hall of the Debs family is really huge. Hundreds of nobles and tycoons gathered here and it was not crowded at all. The ladies and ladies of the nobility dressed beautifully and fashionably. Like a proud peacock happily shuttling through the crowd.
Especially after the arrival of Lin Lei. Many aristocratic ladies couldn't help but get close to Lin Lei.
"Lord Lin Lei, you are really amazing, I have been studying stone carving for three years, but I can't even carve the appearance of the basic land. A noble girl with beautiful long brown hair was talking enthusiastically to Lin Lei. "Lord Lin Lei. You're truly amazing. I'm just a little bit older than me. is already close to the level of masters such as Prux and Hopkinson, Lord Lin Lei. Can you guide me a little bit?"
The aristocratic girl said with her big pretty eyes. looked at Lin Lei expectantly.
"To carve a stone carving, you need to have enough wrist strength. A weak and beautiful girl like you. In fact, you can learn oil painting. Lin Lei said with a light smile.
Lin Lei said helplessly.
Maybe many aristocratic ladies know that Lin Lei is not married yet. And he was alone, so many aristocratic ladies came to pester Lin Lei.
And the parents of those noble ladies were happy to see this scene.
Because almost all the nobles of the kingdom of Finlay understand. If anyone can make Lin Lei their family's son-in-law, then this family will definitely take off!
Who is Lin Lei?
Now he is the first magician of the court, and almost all the nobles know it. Lin Lei is just a name in the Finlay Kingdom, and he will definitely become a big man in the Bright Sect in the future. Future Status. It may even surpass the king of the kingdom of Finlay!
"Lin Lei. A hearty voice rang out.
Lin Lei turned around and looked: "Your Majesty." ”
The surrounding noble ladies immediately saluted respectfully. One by one didn't dare to get too entangled, Lin Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked towards Clyde and was with the king. At least those noble ladies don't dare to mess around.
"Lin Lei, do you have a favorite land?" Clyde whispered in his ear as Clyde approached Ray.
Lin Lei couldn't help but glance at Clyde helplessly: "Your Majesty." You don't have to tease me. ”
"Haha......" Clyde couldn't help but laugh.
Suddenly-
The voices in the entire hall were silent, and Clyde also turned around and looked at the door of the hall, his eyes lit up and said, "Huh." It seems that the heroine is out. ”
Lin Lei also looked over.
I saw Ka Lan holding a beautiful woman in his left and right hands. Both women were dressed in gorgeous dresses. The long blonde hair also had shiny ornaments.
One is Rowling. One is Alice.
"Alice. ”
Lin Lei's gaze stayed on Alice's body. This is the most beautiful way Alice has dressed up, but this time it was Karan who was holding Alice's hand.
"Oh, my goddess! Isn't this the 'goddess' in the stone carving of Master Lin Lei?" Suddenly, an aristocratic exclamation rang out.
The whole hall suddenly remembered the noisy chatter.
Except for a very few people who know Alice's appearance. Most of the nobles on the field didn't know Alice's appearance, but they had seen the stone sculpture 'wake up', and even many people regarded the stone sculpture 'waking up' as their dream goddess.
And at this moment, what they thought was the 'goddess of dreams' appeared at this engagement ceremony.
