Chapter 17: Homecoming
The passage of the sales hall was lined with rich nobles, and these nobles and rich people came out of a separate passage, the two cardinal archbishops of the Holy See of Light, Gilmer and Lampson, as well as the king of the Kingdom of Finlay, Clyde, the chief curator of the Prux Guild, Mia, the young master of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and the magical genius stone carving master Lin Lei.
The men walked in the center, laughing and talking to each other, and walked towards the outside of the Purus Hall.
"Lord Gilmer, Lord Lampson. β
"Your Majesty. β
"Master Lin Lei. β
......
And the surrounding nobles and rich people smiled one by one and greeted them humbly. And several members of the Debs family were squeezed into the middle. Alice, who had a low brim of her hat, couldn't help but raise her head and look at 'Lin Lei', who was complimented by many nobles and wealthy people.
Today's Lin Lei is the most legendary genius.
Seventeen-year-old seventh-level magician, and in the field of stone carving, he has reached the same level as Prux, Hopkinson, Hoover and other masters. Such a genius is naturally as bright as the brightest star in the sky. Gradually, the two cardinals, His Majesty Clyde, Lin Lei, Yale and others left.
All the nobles and tycoons left one by one.
"You're Alice. A crisp voice sounded suddenly.
Several members of the Debs family looked behind them.
I saw a beautiful blonde girl approaching, and behind her was an old man with a kind smile. But whether it is this blonde girl or the old man, there is an aristocratic atmosphere that comes from the bones, and the anticipation makes people feel a little inferior.
When Bernard saw it, he immediately stepped forward and said humbly: "Lord Hugh, this is Miss Delia." I've heard of Miss Delia of the Lane family for a long time, and when I see it today, it's even more beautiful than the legend. β
The influence of the Debs family is limited to the families of the Finlay Kingdom, compared to the super family of the Magnolia Empire, the 'Lane Family'. I don't know how much bigger the gap is.
"Oh, the patriarch of the Debs family?" Delia glanced at Bernard.
Bernard nodded humbly.
"This is your son Kalandi's fiancΓ©e, right?" Delia glanced at Alice who was hiding behind Karan.
Bernard immediately laughed and said, "She? no, she is not the wife of my son Karan. β
"Not a wife?" a sneer appeared on Delia's face, Delia slowly walked towards Alice, Bernard didn't dare to stop him, and when he walked in front of Karan, Karan tried to hold his chest up and try to block the other party.
But Delia's cold gaze made Karan feel cold.
Especially thinking that the other party is the eldest lady of the Lane family, Ka Lan has no confidence at all. Now the relationship between the Debs family and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce is already very bad, if you offend the Ryan family again. The Ryan family wanted to deal with him, and the Debs family was simply easy.
"Alice. Delia stared into Alice's eyes.
Alice lifted her chin. Try to make eye contact with Delia, trying her best to keep herself calm and not cowardly.
Delia smiled. said softly: "Alice, I really don't know how Lin Lei fell in love with you?" Alice's face couldn't help but turn pale, but she said, "It's none of your business!"
"It's none of my business?" Delia smiled faintly, "yes." It's none of my business, but I'm really sorry for you, I would let Lin Lei go, but in the end, I couldn't even be the wife of the Debs family. I think you'll regret it...... It's a pity that you won't have a chance again. Because a character like you will no longer have anything to do with Lin Lei. You will be people of two worlds in the future. Got it?"
Delia ignored Karan and Alice's ugly faces. Look at Bernard in turn.
"Sorry to interrupt. Delia said very politely.
Bernard immediately bowed humbly: "Miss Delia walks slowly." β
The old man beside Delia. He glanced at the ugly face of Delia, then snorted coldly and walked away after Delia. Bernard, on the other hand, kept smiling and watched the other party leave, and only when Delia's master and servant left, did Bernard turn around and glare at Karan and Alice fiercely.
"Bastard!" Bernard reprimanded.
Karan and Alice didn't dare to say a word, and the Debs family went all the way back in an unspeakable depression.
In the Lucas family mansion in Finlay City.
"Master Lin Lei, no, no. Marquis Jebu hurriedly rejected Lin Lei at this time, "I really don't need 600,000 gold coins, Master Lin Lei is really sorry, I really didn't know that you had such attainments in the field of stone carving." β
Marquis Jeb, a stubborn old man, looked at Lin Lei's gaze at this time, it was simply an idol gaze.
Marquis Jeb has no other hobbies, his only hobby is collecting.
And for some master-level figures, it is naturally from the bottom of my heart. I am afraid that even the king of a kingdom is in front of him, and it is impossible for him to worship and admire him from the bottom of his heart.
"Otherwise, 180,000, okay. My family had 180,000 gold coins
Now sell it for another 180,000. That's fair too. Master Lin Lei, I am really your money, earn Master Lin Lei's money, I can't sleep peacefully. β
Marquis Jeb, this lovely old man, is very stubborn.
"Marquis Jeb, when your Lucas family bought this war knife 'slaughter' from my family, it also cost 180,000 gold coins. The 180,000 gold coins of hundreds of years ago were worth a lot more than today's gold coins. "Lin Lei doesn't want to take advantage of others.
β
Marquis Jebu looked at Lin Lei stubbornly.
"Haha, you guys, you guys are really ......" Yale next to him laughed and clutched his stomach, "The seller is desperately trying to lower the price, and he can't wait to give it to others for nothing." But those who buy things have to give more money. It's the first time I've seen this scene. β
Lin Lei smiled helplessly: "Marquis Jebu, let's do it, hundreds of years ago, 180,000 gold coins, can catch up with today's 360,000 gold coins." Just 360,000 gold coins. Don't refuse again, or I'll throw down this magic crystal card and leave. β
Lin Lei said and took out the magic crystal card from his arms.
Marquis Jebu glanced at Lin Lei in embarrassment, and finally nodded: "Okay then." β
Lin Lei couldn't help laughing.
Marquis Jebu suddenly laughed a little embarrassedly: "Master Lin Lei, I have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not. β
"Say it. Lin Lei looked at Marquis Jeb with a smile.
Marquis Jebu immediately waved at his subordinates, and the two subordinates quickly moved a stone slab that stood upright from behind.
"Master Lin Lei, I just wanted you to help leave an autograph, I think. I'll keep it forever. Marquis Jeb looked at Lin Lei expectantly.
Lin Lei smiled, and then took out a flat knife from his arms.
With a casual wave of his hand, the shadow of the knife waved, and the surface of the stone slab suddenly flew with stone fragments, and in just three breaths, Lin Lei withdrew the flat knife. However, he blew lightly on the stone slab, so the stone fragments were completely thrown up, revealing two big characters dancing on the ground-
'Lin Lei'!
Marquis Jeb looked at these two words, and his eyes lit up: "What a graceful carving method, such beautiful handwriting." These two words are worth more than 360,000 gold coins. β
Hear this. Lin Lei couldn't laugh or cry.
On the road from Finlay City to the town of Osan there are metasequoia trees lined up neatly on both sides of the road. Lin Lei rode a tall horse and galloped on the road at great speed, and he also carried a huge box on his shoulder, which weighed hundreds of pounds, fortunately this horse was a good horse given by the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. An ordinary horse would not have been able to run so fast with such a load.
Behind Lin Lei, there is a cavalry team of 100 people.
This team was given to Lin Lei by Cardinal Gilmer of the Holy See of Light, and according to the Holy See of Light, Lin Lei's safety is very important. The last time Lin Lei was hijacked has said it all. This cavalry squad, the lowest one is strong enough for a fifth-level warrior, but it is a squad in the Ace Knights of the Bright Sect.
A hundred horses galloped. Leave smoke and dust all the way.
Lin Lei looked at Wushan Town in the distance, which was getting clearer and clearer. I can't help but think of the scenes of growing up since I was a child. When I was a child, I was training in the open space of Osan Town, and I was terrified when I saw a velociraptor for the first time when I was a child.
The past is in the eyes of Lin Lei. Velociraptors are simply invincible. But for today's Lin Lei, the velociraptor is nothing at all.
"Boom~~"
The earth shook, and more than a hundred excellent war horses galloped at great speed, and the vibration sound could be felt from afar.
Many of the residents of Osan Town hid on the edge of the street in fear, and one by one they looked at the powerful cavalry in the distance with curiosity, apprehension, and fear.
"What a strong cavalry team. β
Hillman, who was walking on the streets of Osan Town, couldn't help but turn around and look, and the neat, fast, and powerful sound of horses' hooves alone shocked Hillman's heart. Even in the army, he had never seen such a quality cavalry several times.
The lowest level is a fifth-level warrior, how can the quality of the cavalry squad of the Ace Knights of the Bright Sect be poor?
The galloping momentum alone makes people tremble.
"Who's that?" Hillman glanced at the person at the front.
"Lin Lei. Hillman's face couldn't help but change drastically, and then he quickly ran towards the Baruch family mansion.
The cavalry team led by Lin Lei slowed down after entering Wushan Town, and only Lin Lei rushed towards his family slightly faster. Looking at the courtyard wall of the mansion with mottled traces in the distance, Lin Lei naturally remembered scenes of playing in the mansion when he was a child.
"Baruch family, my roots!" Lin Lei carried the box of 'slaughter' with his sword on his back, and all he had in his heart was endless pride.
Lin Lei still vividly remembers what his father said to him when he first set off for Ernst Academy. Lin Lei believes that what his father said to him, I am afraid that he will not be able to forget it for the rest of his life-
"Lin Lei, remember the wishes of the ancestors of our Baruch family for hundreds of years, and remember the shame of our Baruch family!"
"You will be at least a sixth-level magician after graduation, as long as you cultivate seriously and diligently, it is not necessary to become a seventh-level magician
If you can't take it back, even if I die, I won't forgive you. β
"Even if I die, I won't forgive you!"
......
The voice kept echoing in Lin Lei's mind, and he could feel the weight of the 'slaughter' of the war knife on his back, and a sense of pride appeared in Lin Lei's heart.
"Father, I'm back!"
"Father, I'm back with a sword 'slaughter'!"
Lin Lei jumped off the horse and rushed directly into the courtyard of the mansion.
"Father!" Lin Lei shouted loudly.
"I'm back, I'm back with a knife 'slaughter'. Lin Lei's voice was full of joy and excitement.
The ancestors of the family have worked hard for hundreds of years. The greatest hope of my father's life. And now I have finally done it for my father!
"Knife 'slaughter'?" a voice rang out.
Lin Lei turned around and saw that it was Hillman.
"Uncle Hillman, where is my father? Haha, I finally brought back the war knife 'slaughter', really, the inheritance treasure of our dragon-blooded warrior family, I finally brought it back. Tell me where my father is, and he will be very, very happy to find out. I'm afraid I'm going to have a good drink tonight. Uncle Hillman, don't worry, I won't shirk today. I must have a good drink with you, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk. β
Lin Lei was very excited. He also took out the box on his back and looked at Hillman while holding the box.
But......
There was not a hint of joy on Hillman's face, but a hint of gloom.
"Hey, Uncle Hillman?" Lin Lei frowned. Looking at Hillman, "Uncle Hillman, what about my father?"
Hillman looked at Lin Lei and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Lin Lei, did you bring back the war knife 'slaughter'? Your father will be very happy to know it, and he will definitely be." β
"What about my father?"
"Your father. He. He died three months ago. Hillman took a deep breath and spoke slowly. As he spoke, his eyes were already moist.
Lin Lei felt as if countless thunderbolts were roaring in his ears for a moment, and his mind went blank.
"Bang dang!"
The box in Lin Lei's hand fell heavily to the ground. The lid of the box shook, revealing a giant war knife with a hint of blood-red that was full of murderous aura, and the cold murderous and bloody aura instantly suppressed the entire courtyard.
"Dead?"
Lin Lei looked at Hillman in disbelief.
Hillman nodded slightly.
Suddenly, Lin Lei smiled: "Haha, Uncle Hillman, you must have lied to me, haha, I brought back the war knife 'slaughter', you see, Uncle Hillman, I brought back the war knife 'slaughter', how could my father die, he still has to watch the war knife slaughter." β
Lin Lei grabbed the war knife and 'slaughtered', and the bloody aura even made Hillman feel suffocated in his heart.
"Uncle Hillman, you see, I've brought back all the swords 'slaughter', and I'm going to tell my father that I can become a dragon-blooded warrior. The scales of Lin Lei's hands began to emerge, and in just a moment, they turned into dragon claws.
The two dragon claws grabbed Hillman's shoulders, and Lin Lei stared at Hillman: "Uncle Hillman, you see, I can become a dragon-blooded warrior, and I have brought back the war knife 'slaughter'." Really, my father, my father!!"
"I'm going to show him the knife slaughter!"
"I haven't told him yet, I'm ready to become a dragon-blooded warrior. β
The dragon claws gripped Hillman, but the owner of the dragon claws, 'Lin Lei', looked at Hillman pleadingly.
"Uncle Hillman, I beg you, tell me, where the hell is my father?" Lin Lei looked at Hillman pleadingly, like a poor orphan who had lost everything. Like a drowning man, clutching at the last straw and clutching at Hillman.
Hillman shook his head lightly: "Lin Lei, your father, he's dead!"
Lin Lei smiled, smiling so desolately: "No, no, I still have to show him the war knife 'slaughter', and I also have to tell him that I can already become a dragon blood warrior, and I have to drink with him tonight." β
As he spoke, Lin Lei was already in tears.
Hillman looked at Lin Lei and couldn't help but raise his head, and then two lines of tears flowed down.
"No, no, no!!"
Lin Lei's sharp claws grabbed Hillman, those eyes looked at Hillman, and even the pupils of his eyes glowed with a cold dark gold like the spiny-backed ironclad dragon, and a more terrifying aura than the 'slaughter' of the war knife filled the entire courtyard.
The low, hoarse voice burst out of his throatβ
"Tell me, where is my father?"
