Chapter 47: The Whereabouts of the Knife "Slaughter" (Chapter 7k)
...
Holy Alliance, Kingdom of Finlay.
Finlay City.
The Lucas family.
At this time, Jeb Lucas, the patriarch of the Lucas family, was entertaining a middle-aged man in a blue robe.
"Marquis Jeb, in fact, I came here today, in addition to the matter of black iron ore, there is one more thing I want to ask."
The blue-robed middle-aged man opened his mouth with a smile, his expression unfazed.
"Oh? Mr. Birmer, please. ”
Marquis Jeb smiled and said in a casual tone.
Although this Birmer does not have the title of nobleman, he is one of the heads of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in Finlay City. Even the nobles of the Finlay Kingdom generally don't offend him. After all, who wouldn't have a hard time with gold...
The blue-robed middle-aged man said with a smile, "I heard that Marquis Jebu likes to collect, and there are many precious collectibles. Among them is a collection of war knives, called 'Slaughter', I don't know if it's real. ”
Although it was an inquiry, the middle-aged man in the blue robe had obviously determined it a long time ago, and his tone was very affirmative.
"Knife 'slaughter'..."
Marquis Jeb was stunned for a moment, he never thought that the blue-robed middle-aged man would ask about this.
The matter of "slaughtering" and "selling" the war knife is only known to a few core members of the family. After all, this matter has something to do with the powerhouses of the Holy Domain, and this is extremely useful information, how can it be told to everyone.
This is a secret that will only be told after the family has a crisis.
"There is indeed such a sword."
The Marquis of Jeb did not hide it.
After all, the matter of collecting war knives to "slaughter" has always been something he showed off before. It's easy for those who are interested to find out.
"Huh."
The blue-robed middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's the case, I wonder if Marquis Jebu has the idea of selling the war knife 'slaughter'?" We, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, can make a high price. ”
"Buy a knife 'slaughter'?"
Marquis Jeb didn't expect the blue-robed middle-aged man to say this, but his expression remained unchanged and was very direct, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Birmer." This knife 'Slaughter' is my favorite collector's item, and it is impossible to sell. ”
"Marquis Jeb..."
The blue-robed middle-aged man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Marquis Jeb, "Don't talk about this matter anymore, it's impossible for me to sell the war knife 'slaughter'." ”
He didn't want to offend the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't want to get along with the gold coin, which didn't mean that he was afraid of a person in charge of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. After all, he himself was also a marquis of the Kingdom of Finlay and had a high status. The descendants of the family also hold important positions in the kingdom, which is different from ordinary families.
Even the Debs family, which is known as one of the three major families of the Finlay Kingdom, is actually nothing to them.
This is the essence of the aristocratic family.
Seeing Marquis Jeb's attitude, the blue-robed middle-aged man didn't want to say anything more. Although he couldn't buy the battle knife "Slaughter", after all, the whereabouts of the battle "Slaughter" have been determined, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Young Master Yale.
...
Finlay City, Division of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
"The Lucas family?"
Yale heard the report of the blue-robed middle-aged man, and his brows furrowed, "The Marquis of Finlay City? ”
"Yes, Young Master Yale, this Jeb Lucas is the Marquis, but now that he is old, he no longer holds the position. But the influence is not small, and there are many people in the family who hold high positions in the Finlay Kingdom. ”
Birmer said respectfully, "I talked to this Jeb Lucas, and it is difficult to buy a war knife 'slaughter'. After all, the Lucas family is not short of money. ”
"I see, you go down first."
Yale spoke.
"Yes, Master Yale."
Birmer answered, and then left directly.
When Birmer left, Yale couldn't help but rub his forehead, "Marquis, it's still this kind of real power marquis, it's a bit troublesome..."
The Lucas family is different from ordinary families, even the Dawson Chamber of Commerce cannot affect the Lucas family. After all, the reason why the Lucas family is strong is not because of business, but because the family members hold high positions in the Finlay Kingdom.
Even if Yale is the successor of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, he is not qualified to rashly provoke such a powerful aristocratic family. Unless the Dawson Chamber of Commerce is used to force the Lucas family.
Not to mention whether it can succeed or not, in this way, the reputation of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce in Finlay City will definitely be affected.
"Let's talk to the third child first, with the current identity of the third child, the Lucas family may not dare to refuse."
Yale said to himself. Lin Lei is now a seventh-level magician, the first in Ernst Academy, the second in history, and the lowest in the future is also a ninth-level archmage, even if the Lucas family is powerful, in the face of such a strong person, they can only bow their heads.
This is the state of the world.
......
In Finlay East City, in a mansion on Green Leaf Road, Lin Lei was staying in the living room with Yale at the moment talking about the 'slaughter' of the war knife.
After listening to Yale's words, Lin Lei frowned slightly, "Then I'll go visit the patriarch of the Lucas family tonight." ”
For the "slaughter" of the war knife, Lin Lei is bound to win.
Whether it was for the glory of the family or his father's entrustment, Lin Lei did not dare to forget.
"Boss, let's just go and grab it back."
Bei Bei transmitted the voice directly in Lin Lei's mind.
"You, stop being mischievous..."
When Lin Lei heard Beibei's words, he also smiled helplessly.
They do have the strength to snatch the sword and "slaughter" now, but Lin Lei himself will not rob others for no reason. What's more, the other party's collection of war knives "slaughter" was not snatched from the Baruch family.
If the other party snatched it, Lin Lei didn't mind snatching it back.
Bei Bei was touched by Lin Lei's head, and then continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
...
At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and the blue-robed middle-aged man Bo Mo walked in with a smile on his face, "Young Master Yale, the minister of the Finlay Kingdom, 'Kellivan', is outside, and he wants to meet Young Master Lin Lei." ”
"Kelivan? Who is he? ”
Yale frowned.
Since Lin Lei became a seventh-level magician, it has caused a lot of sensation in the entire Finlay City. Countless people want to visit Lin Lei, but with Lin Lei's current status, ordinary people can't see Lin Lei.
Birmer smiled, "Young Master Yale, this Kelivan is a member of the Lucas family, and the patriarch of the Lucas family, Marquis Jeb, is the uncle of this Lucas. ”
Previously, he followed Yale's order to investigate the whereabouts of the knife "Slaughter", which was here in the Lucas family. It's just that the patriarch of the Lucas family doesn't want to sell it to them.
Now that this Kelivan has appeared, it may be a good thing for the purchase of the war knife "Slaughter".
A moment later, a man with curly blond hair walked into the hall smiling.
Seeing Lin Lei and Yale, the blond-haired curly-haired man immediately saluted humbly, "Kelivan, I've seen Young Master Yale, I've seen Young Master Lin Lei." ”
"Kellyvan, what are you looking for my brother?"
Yale asked rudely directly.
Kelivan didn't care about Yale's attitude at all, looked at Lin Lei, and said with a smile, "This time, I came here with His Majesty's invitation to Young Master Lin Lei, and I want to invite Young Master Lin Lei to be the court magician of the Finlay Kingdom." Of course, Young Master Lin Lei can also make other requests, His Majesty just hopes that Young Master Lin Lei can stay in our Finlay Kingdom. ”
Obviously, the King of the Kingdom of Finlay, Clyde, obviously knew about the Holy See of Light inviting Lin Lei. Rather than letting Lin Lei go to the Holy See of Light, he naturally preferred Lin Lei to stay in the Finlay Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Finlay belongs to the Holy Alliance, and the kings of the kingdoms are all subject to the Holy See of Light, and even the Holy See of Light can easily depose the king of a kingdom. Therefore, it is also very important for the royal family of the kingdom to have a strong support.
"Kellyvan."
Lin Lei didn't respond to Kelivan's words, and went straight to the topic, "You're from the Lucas family, right?" ”
Compared to any court magician, he couldn't attract Lin Lei's attention at all now.
"Yes."
Although he didn't know why Lin Lei suddenly asked this, Keliwen still spoke humbly, "The patriarch of the family is my uncle. ”
"I'm from the Baruch family."
Lin Lei looked at Kelivan and said directly, "My Baruch family has a inheritance treasure called the War Knife 'Slaughter'. However, hundreds of years ago, the sword left my family. I now hope to be able to retrieve this sword, 'Slaughter'. And as far as I know, the inheritance treasure of our family is now in your Lucas family. ”
When Lin Lei said this, he didn't continue to talk about it.
Hearing this, Kelivan's brow furrowed, and then there was some silence.
As one of the core members of the family, he also knows about the "slaughter" of the war knife. After all, this is one of the most important things for the Lucas family right now.
If the "slaughter" of the war knife is still in the family, as Lin Lei, he will also have a chance to take it back.
But now, the "slaughter" of the war knife is not in the family at all. Even now, in the face of the legendary Sanctuary powerhouse and Lin Lei, the family will not choose to "slaughter" the war knife to Lin Lei.
After all, the Baruch family was only one of the powerhouses of the Sanctuary in their ancestors. Now, at the end of the day, it's just a down-and-out aristocrat. Even if Lin Lei is highly talented, it is nothing to face the powerhouses of the Holy Domain.
"Young Master Lin Lei, I'm sorry about the 'slaughter' of the war knife. Not to mention Young Master Lin Lei, even if it is His Majesty the King, it is impossible to get the war knife from my uncle's hand to 'slaughter'. ”
Kelivin's expression sank a little and he spoke.
Clyde, the king of the Finlay Kingdom, is a ninth-level powerhouse and the number one master of the Finlay Kingdom. Kellyvan moved out of Clyde, apparently telling Lin Lei that it was impossible to get the knife and "slaughter".
Hearing Kelivan's words, Yale's brows furrowed directly, and he didn't understand why Kelivan could say that.
You know, in the kingdom of Finlay, there is no family that really dares to disobey Clyde's will. Is this Kellivan crazy?
Lin Lei's face also sank a little, "Keliwen, this war knife 'slaughter', after all, is a treasure that has been inherited by our family for more than 5,000 years, and its importance to our family can be imagined. For outsiders, it's just a collector's item, but for our family, it's a shame to lose the treasure of the family legacy. ”
Keliwen bowed slightly, "Young Master Lin Lei, I'm sorry. It's more complicated than you think. All I can say is that it is impossible for you to get your sword and 'slaughter'. ”
Seeing that Lin Lei and Yale's faces were a little dark, coupled with Yale's identity and Lin Lei's influence at this time, Keliven finally gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Lin Lei, it's not that the Lucas family wants to go against you, it's just..."
After taking a few breaths, Kelivin finally whispered, "The 'slaughter' of the war knife is not in the Lucas family anymore. ”
"What?"
Yale stood up first and said directly, "Impossible. I've inquired about it, and the knife 'slaughter' has always been with your Lucas family. ”
Yale has a lot of trust in the Dawson Chamber of Commerce's capabilities.
Lin Lei also looked at Keliwen suspiciously. He knew that Yale wouldn't lie to himself, but Kelivan's appearance really didn't look like a lie. In particular, it is indeed unlikely that the Lucas family will fight with themselves because of the "slaughter" of the sword.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is now valued by the Holy See of Light, and if he really asks the Holy See of Light for something, he is very willing to do it if he wants to come to the Holy See of Light.
Keliwen bowed slightly, and then said, "Young Master Lin Lei, I didn't deceive you about this matter. If you really want to know the specific reason, you can only go to my uncle. ”
Yale and Lin Lei glanced at each other, and finally Lin Lei opened his mouth and said, "In this case, you go back and talk to your uncle first." Let's just say I'm going to visit the Lucas family myself tonight. ”
Keliven exhaled and showed some helpless smiles, "The Lucas family welcomes the arrival of Young Master Lin Lei. However, I still hope that Young Master Lin Lei will be mentally prepared. ”
With that, Kelivan took his leave and left.
And Lin Lei and Yale's faces were a little solemn.
"Third child, are you saying that Kelivan's words are true or false?"
Yale asked directly.
In his opinion, the third child has now become a seventh-level magician, becoming the second super genius in the history of the Magnolia Continent, even if it is the four empires and the two alliances, they all attach great importance to the third child.
How dare the Lucas family refuse the third child?
"Maybe it's true..."
Lin Lei's heart sank a little.
If it was true that the Lucas family did not want to hand over the war knife to "slaughter", he was not particularly worried. After all, it's really not possible, and through the Bright Holy See, you can also get back the war knife and "slaughter". Although he didn't want to owe the Bright Holy See favors, he didn't mind doing it for the sake of the family's glory.
Even, even through Clyde, the king of the Finlay Kingdom, can get back the war knife and "slaughter".
However, this Keliven actually said that Clyde couldn't get this knife to "slaughter", and I'm afraid this matter is more troublesome.
"How is that possible..."
Yale frowned, "We've been checking for so long, and we're sure that this knife 'slaughter' must be in the Lucas family." ”
"Forget it, Yale Boss, we'll find out in the evening."
Lin Lei said. But his eyes are looking out, hoping that there will be no surprises.
......
At night.
The living room of the Lucas family's ancient mansion was very tastefully furnished, and the dozen or so people staying in the living room were all people of great status in the Finlay Kingdom. The lowest rank of these people is also an earl, and they are here to wait for Lin Lei.
Kelivin was by Jeb Lucas's side.
"Uncle, this Lin Lei can't get the sword 'slaughter', I'm afraid he won't stop."
Kelivan thought of Lin Lei's attitude during the day, and then whispered.
Marquis Jebb's appearance has not changed much from ten years ago, and when he heard Kellyvin's words, he waved his hand indifferently, "Although this Lin Lei is very genius, it doesn't affect anything." ”
The other core members of the family only knew that the family had dedicated the war knife "slaughter" to a Sanctuary Lord, but few people knew who it was.
The only one who really knows what is going on is still the Marquis of Jebel himself.
That's Lord Fang Yun, the most powerful Sacred Domain powerhouse recently! No matter how powerful Lin Lei is, what can he do? Not to mention Lin Lei, even if the Bright Sect comes, I'm afraid I won't dare to do anything.
Of course, Marquis Jebu didn't want to have any contradictions with Lin Lei. After all, Lin Lei's potential was too great, so he still solemnly held a banquet.
"Master Yale has arrived!"
"Young Master Lin Lei has arrived!"
Soon, the servant at the door shouted loudly.
Everyone looked at the doorway.
Marquis Jebu also smiled and stood up, "Let's go, meet this second genius in the Magnolia Continent." ”
......
In the living room of the Lucas family, the candlelight was shining, the beautiful maid brought a plate of delicious dishes, and a group of people pushed and changed glasses, talking with each other warmly and politely.
Lin Lei has been educated by the nobility since he was a child, and he still knows about this, and he talks to other people on the surface, but he is a little bored in his heart.
"Boss Yale, I'll go find Marquis Jeb first."
After getting rid of one of the interlocutors, Lin Lei spoke to Yale.
Yale nodded.
After that, Lin Lei walked directly towards Marquis Jeb and Kelivan.
Marquis Jeb saw Lin Lei coming, and then also branched out of Kelivin, "Lin Lei, I really didn't expect that you would come to the Lucas family in person, this is the honor of the Lucas family." ”
Lin Lei didn't say much else, and went straight to the topic, "Marquis Jeb, the purpose of my coming here tonight, Kelivan has already told you." ”
Marquis Jebu didn't answer Lin Lei directly, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go to the side hall to talk." ”
Regarding Lord Fang Yun's affairs, Jeb will not say it casually. But if he really can't get rid of Lin Lei, he doesn't mind taking it out to scare Lin Lei away. I believe that Lin Lei knows very well the meaning of the four words "Fangyun in the South China Sea".
Lin Lei was slightly silent, and then followed directly.
With his current strength, plus Beibei, even if this Jeb has any traps, he is sure to get rid of them.
...
The side hall is very elegant, and compared with the bustle of the living room, the side hall is much quieter, which makes it easy to relax.
"Sit down."
Marquis Jeb said with a smile.
After Lin Lei sat down, he looked at Marquis Jeb, "Now Marquis Jeb, can you give me an explanation?" ”
Marquis Jeb took a sip of water, smiled, reassured the teacup, and looked at Lin Lei, "Lin Lei, you can come over today, I think Kellivan should tell you that the war knife 'slaughter' is not in the Lucas family." ”
Lin Lei nodded and didn't speak.
"Hehe..."
Marquis Jeb smiled, "I know, you don't believe it. It's true, though. It is true that the knife 'slaughter' is not in the Lucas family. ”
Without waiting for Lin Lei to continue to ask, Marquis Jebu stared at Lin Lei in a casual tone, "Ten years ago, I was gone." Nine years ago, to be exact. ”
Lin Lei's brows furrowed, "Nine years ago..."
"Lin Lei, this Jebu doesn't look like he's telling a lie."
Drinkwater's voice rang in Ray's head. He is a Sacred Realm Soul, and he is still somewhat accurate in distinguishing the truth from falsehood of a person's words.
After all, if a person tells a lie, whether it is the expression or some small reaction of the body, it is different.
Lin Lei secretly answered, but his heart sank a little, after checking for so long, could he really find the wrong one.
"Marquis Jeb, I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to tell me the whereabouts of the War Knife 'Slaughter'."
Lin Lei looked at Jeb and asked directly.
Since even Yale can only find out that the "slaughter" of the war knife is in the hands of the Lucas family, then I am afraid that the only person who wants to know the whereabouts of the "slaughter" of the war knife is this Marquis Jeb.
Jeb smiled, "Lin Lei, actually... I advise you to abandon the knife 'slaughter'. ”
"Don't think about it."
Without waiting for Lin Lei's face to change, Marquis Jebu explained the reason, "Because don't talk about you, even if you are a strong person in the Holy See of Light, even I suspect that even if you are the Pope of Light, it is impossible to get the sword to 'slaughter'." ”
He knew the importance of the treasure of inheritance to a family, especially Lin Lei, who had been brilliant in the past, and valued these even more. Moreover, Lin Lei is valued by the two alliances of the four empires, and there is a great possibility of rising in the future, and he also wants to befriend Lin Lei, so he will talk to Lin Lei more.
Otherwise, there was no need for him to say anything about the others.
...
Hearing this, Lin Lei was stunned.
It's impossible for the Pope of the Holy See of Light to get it?
How is this possible?
Although he didn't want to admit it, but before this, he did think about borrowing the name of the Bright Sect to get back the war knife to "slaughter".
The Bright Sect is in charge of the entire Holy Alliance, and it is one of the six strongest forces in the Magnolia Continent, how can there be something that the Bright Sect can't do?
"Marquis Jeb..."
Lin Lei's brows furrowed a little.
"Hey..."
Marquis Jebu couldn't help but sigh and looked at Lin Lei, "Actually, this matter is also my fault. ”
Having said that, Marquis Jeb's tone did not mean any regret.
"Huh?"
Lin Lei was a little puzzled.
"I'm sure you've heard the name of Lord Fang Yun of the South China Sea, right?"
Marquis Jebu looked at Lin Lei with a smile.
Lin Lei frowned, Mr. Fang Yun? What does this have to do with Mr. Fang Yun?
Marquis Jebu let Lin Lei drink tea, and then explained, "Actually, nine years ago, the war knife 'slaughter' was indeed in my hands. It was only nine years ago that I received an important guest, and this guest took a fancy to the saber 'slaughter'..."
Soon, the Marquis of Jeb recounted his experience.
The Marquis of Jeb's face was filled with a lot of pride, and this event would be the most important stroke of his life.
After listening to Marquis Jeb's description, Lin Lei's whole person was a little sluggish.
The words of Marquis Jebu only echoed in his mind, Mr. Fang Yun...
It was actually Mr. Fang Yun who bought the knife "Slaughter".
"Boss!"
Beibei's voice sounded in Lin Lei's mind.
Lin Lei came back to his senses and exhaled deeply, finally understanding the meaning of what Marquis Jeb said before.
Indeed, if the "slaughter" of the war knife was in the hands of Mr. Fang Yun, the Bright Sect would indeed not dare to ask for it. After all, the Dark Curia Pope that Mr. Fang Yun could force to apologize to, and search for the Tiger Stripes Secret Archive throughout the Magnolia Continent; That could easily force the Bright Sect to back down.
Although he hadn't officially met Mr. Fang Yun yet, Lin Lei had never doubted Mr. Fang Yun's strength.
"Boss, it's the sanctuary of those two people in Doham!"
Bei Bei continued to transmit his voice, and his tone was also very surprised.
"Hmm."
Lin Lei replied. Although it was extremely unexpected, I was secretly relieved in my heart. Mr. Fang Yun is very powerful, but with the two brothers of Doham, he still has some opportunities.
On the contrary, if it is other Sanctuary powerhouses that you don't know, that's the real trouble.
...
When Marquis Jebu saw Lin Lei's appearance, he thought that Lin Lei had flinched, and then persuaded him, "Lin Lei, this matter is also my reason. Well, I'm willing to return the gold I bought from the Sword 'Slaughter', how about it? ”
For Lin Lei, he still wants to make friends.
After a pause, Marquis Jeb continued, "But as for the saber 'slaughter', I really can't help it. ”
He didn't think that Lin Lei would go to Fang Yun to ask for a knife to "slaughter". Perhaps on the Magnolia Continent, few people dared to go to Fang Yun to ask for a knife to "slaughter".
Lin Lei came back to his senses, exhaled deeply, and stood up, "No need, since you know the whereabouts of the 'slaughter' of the war knife, you won't bother Marquis Jebu." ”
After speaking, Lin Lei left directly.
The only thought in his mind right now was to go to the Stone Carved Valley of the Demon Beast Mountain Range again as soon as possible, to wait for Mr. Fang Yun to come back.
......
Warcraft Mountains,
Stone-carved valley.
After Lin Lei left the Lucas family, he went directly to the Demon Beast Mountain Range the next day and came to the Stone Sculpture Valley.
"Knife 'slaughter'?"
Doham raised his eyebrows, thought of Lin Lei's identity, showed a smile, and nodded, "It's indeed in the hands of adults." ”
Although Lin Lei is a descendant of the Baruch family, they only learned about this two years ago, and at that time, Lin Lei did not say that he was looking for a war knife to "slaughter", so they naturally did not say anything.
Seeing that Doham admitted, Lin Lei's heart relaxed a little, and he was a little worried that the "slaughter" of the war knife was not here.
"Actually, these stone carvings are all carved by adults with 'slaughter' knives."
Doham laughed.
"The war knife 'slaughter' carved?!"
Lin Lei was shocked.
There are many tools for engraving, but they are all specialized tools. And the war knife "slaughter" is an offensive weapon, not to mention the difficulty of carving with this kind of war knife, even if it can be controlled, many details cannot be carved.
But these stone carvings are almost "perfect"!
"How is that possible!"
Drinkwater's voice also sounded in Lin Lei's mind, and his tone was full of shock.
Can you carve it like this with a sword? It's almost impossible.
...
Doham didn't care about Lin Lei's shock, after all, when he saw the adults carving with his own eyes, he was even more shocked than Lin Lei.
"Lin Lei, it's been a long time since my lord carved. If you want to find the sword 'slaughter', but wait for the adults to come back in the Valley of the Stone. ”
Doham said directly, "However, I'm not sure if the Lord will give you back the 'slaughter' of the sword. ”
Although adults also appreciate Lin Lei, he is not sure whether he really cares about Lin Lei's thoughts. Because in his opinion, except for Lin Lei's talent and special bloodline, there is no place worth taking a closer look at by adults.
Even, in Doham's opinion, even if the four ultimate warriors reappear, they may not necessarily make adults care.
"Thank you, Big Brother Doham."
Lin Lei nodded.
He was naturally worried in his heart, but he would not give up directly. He's going to try, even at a cost.
"Alright, don't worry."
Seeing Lin Lei's concern, Doham patted Lin Lei's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it when the adults come back, during this time, let's cultivate well." ”
