“Enough talk about those three freaks. The person I am about to have you meet is only inferior to those three. If you can become his disciple, it will be of great benefit to you as you attempt to increase your power in magic.” Guillermo said.
Linley laughed inside.
As far as someone who was only inferior to those three freaks…wasn’t his own Grandpa Doehring someone who was at the peak of the Saint-level?
“What is the name of this Ascetic?” Linley asked.
“His name is…Fallen Leaf.”
Within one of the slums of Fenlai City. Only now did Linley realize that within Fenlai City, one of the largest, most prosperous cities in the Yulan continent, there was such an impoverished, desolate place. It was far worse off than even his own hometown of Wushan township.
At this moment, Linley and Guillermo were walking shoulder-to-shoulder within a foul, dirty alley.
“Lord Guillermo, the Lord Fallen Leaf that you spoke of lives here?” Linley couldn’t believe it.
“Right.” Guillermo nodded. “Linley, remember, this Lord Fallen Leaf detests those nobles who think themselves better than others. Thus, you must be modest and courteous, even towards these poor people.”
Linley glanced at the poor people lining the streets.
Not too far away, he saw a seven or eight year old child, malnourished to the point of being skin and bones, who wore a foul, oily black rag as his clothes. This child was staring at Linley with fear in his eyes.
Due to his skinniness, his sunken eyes seemed particularly large.
Those innocent eyes made Linley’s heart tremble.
Linley didn’t do anything, just continued to walk forward alongside Guillermo. On the road, Linley saw one poor child after another. None of them wore any proper clothes, and all of them were extremely poor.
“Here we are.” Guillermo suddenly said.
Linley couldn’t help but turn his head to look.
They were standing in front of a casually erected metal frame-like dwelling. An old man who looked like a beggar sat in the middle of the building. The old man was so skinny that it made one’s heart quiver, and all the skin on his body was sagging down. His hands were like the claws of a chicken, only skin and bone.
This old fellow was looking at Linley with curiosity.
“Lord Fallen Leaf.” Guillermo said respectfully.
“He really is Lord Fallen Leaf?” Linley wasn’t sure in his heart, but seeing Guillermo behave in such a manner, he was forced to believe it.
But could this old man in front of him, who looked like a beggar that could be blown down by a good gust of wind, really be the high Saint-level combatant, Lord ‘Fallen Leaf’?
“Guillermo, this is the one you mentioned to me, the so-called kid with talent?” The old beggar asked.
“Yes, Lord Fallen Leaf.” Guillermo said respectfully.
“Grandpa Fallen Leaf, Grandpa Fallen Leaf, quick, help save my mother. She was beaten and injured by someone!” A youthful voice rang out, then a girl came running in, carrying her skinny mother on her back.
The old beggar immediately turned around and stretched his right hand out.
Surrounded by a holy light, that heavily wounded woman began to heal at an astonishing speed.
The old beggar turned back to look at Linley. “I will only teach those with kind hearts and pure souls. But you…your heart is filled with an excessive desire to kill. I will not teach you.”
Guillermo couldn’t help but be astonished by these words.
“An excessive desire to kill?” A hint of a smile appeared on Linley’s face.
The need to seek vengeance on behalf of his parents had caused unspeakable pain and torment to Linley. Every minute, he desired to kill Patterson, but he continued to force himself to be calm and to not be rash. But this sort of constant self-repression did indeed cause Linley’s killing urge to only grow greater and greater.
“Then, Lord Fallen Leaf, I take my leave.” Linley bowed slightly, then turned and left.
The old beggar had originally wanted to say a few extra words. Upon seeing Linley turn and leave so cleanly and bluntly, he couldn’t help but be startled. But then, a hint of a smile appeared on his face
