“Milord.” Just at this moment, an attendant ran over from outside. “Milord, Lord Cardinal Guillermo of the Radiant Church has arrived.”
“Guillermo?”
Linley’s body trembled, and then he immediately headed for the door, going out to personally welcome Guillermo.
Within the main hall.
“Linley, I hear that recently, your life has been leisurely and carefree. Every day, either you are training, resting in the hot springs, or engaging in stonesculpting. This sort of life really makes one envious of you.” Guillermo said with a laugh to Linley.
Linley nodded and laughed as well.
“But Linley.” Guillermo said solemnly, “I must remind you that although your sculptures are worth money, the thing which truly determines a person’s status is power! Just look at that nearby Debs clan. Don’t they have money? But in terms of status, they are inferior to you.”
Linley understood this rationale as well.
True, money was a useful thing.
But when one’s power reached a certain level, the uses of money would grow fewer and fewer. For example, to a Saint-level combatant, money was nothing more than a worldly possession. This was also why the Dawson Conglomerate had been willing to offer a hundred million gold coins to acquire Linley and have him join them.
To these trading unions, the support of a super-combatant was simply too vital.
“Lord Guillermo, I thank you for your reminder.” Linley said with a smile.
Linley didn’t say, of course, that it was stonesculpting that was the true reason behind him becoming a seventeen year old dual-element magus of the seventh rank.
“I’m just making small talk. After all, when you need to rest, you should.” Guillermo glanced at one of the Vicars behind him, who immediately opened the package he had been carrying on his back. After opening the silver-white package, a stone case was revealed within.
The Vicar then placed this stone case between Linley and Guillermo.
“Lord Guillermo, this is?” Linley already had an idea as to what this was.
Guillermo laughed with self-satisfaction. “Linley. Open it up yourself.”
Linley slowly opened the stone case, lifting up the lid. Within the stone case, there were two tomes made from silk thread. Both of these two tomes appeared to be colored a dark gold color.”
“This is?…” Linley looked towards Guillermo.
“Linley, didn’t I previously say that I was going to give to you books regarding magical incantations for wind-style and earth-style spells? That’s what these two tomes are.” Guillermo laughed.
Linley couldn’t help but feel excited.
Magical incantations and the proper method by which one cast the spell were both very important. Otherwise, even if one had enough spiritual energy and mageforce, one still wouldn’t be able to cast more powerful spells.
Linley immediately withdrew one of the two books and opened it up.
“Wind-style!” Upon reading the first page, Linley saw that the first page was a general summary regarding this tome.
After the summary, it began to describe one wind-style spell after another. This tome explained everything in great detail, and also clearly explained what to focus on for every single spell.
Linley flipped directly to the section on spells of the seventh rank.
Linley felt astonishment as he read about one powerful, intricately designed spell after another. Linley had to admit, the bygone people who had invented these spells in the past were, without a doubt, absolute geniuses.
“Spell of the ninth rank – Windshadow Technique. It was derived from a combination of the ‘Supersonic’ spell and the ‘Airwings’ spell. It possesses the special effects given by the Airwings spell, great speed, and great agility. It can be described as perfect…”
Seeing the deep, in-depth explanation of the Windshadow spell within this tome, Linley felt all the more excited.
A brand new world of magic was beginning to open up in front of him.
In the future, with his prowess in earth-style and wind-style magic, as well as the power of a Dragonblood Warrior, his future offensive potential would be enough to cause anyone to shudder in their heart.
Seeing how Linley had become totally absorbed with these magical tomes, Guillermo didn’t make a sound as he quietly left by himself.
….
Within the Hot Springs Garden.
Linley was seated cross-legged on the grass, all of his muscles and bones quivering as that special Dragonblood battle-qi was permeating every part of his body with its force, causing Linley’s entire body to experience a constant strengthening.
“Boss, Patterson will be arriving tonight. You still are in the mood to train?” Bebe mumbled, lying next to Linley.
Linley opened his eyes and looked at Bebe.
“In the mood?”
Linley felt bitter in his heart. Early this morning, that Duke Patterson had sent word via messenger that tonight, he wanted to come have a one-on-one visit with Linley. As the Minister of Finance, naturally Duke Patterson felt the need to have good relations with all the other important nobles. These past few days, he had been handling and worrying over the issue of illegally mining and smuggling water jade, which was why he hadn’t had the time to visit Linley yet.
“I’m not in the mood, no, but I must train. Only when I have enough strength will I have confidence.” Linley said to himself.
Per his current plans.
Within the next half year, he would kill Patterson as well as find out who the person behind Patterson was.
After finding out who the person behind Patterson was, Linley would, before the next anniversary of his father’s death, find out what happened to his mother, or kill the person behind Patterson.
“Swish! Swish!”
“Ahhhh!” Outside the Hot Springs Garden, a miserable scream.
With a leap, Linley jumped atop the man-made hill within the Hot Springs Garden. Standing on the top of the hill, he could clearly see that the bodies of those ten or so Knights of the Radiant Church had begun to decay. They screamed in agony nonstop as their blood began to stain the ground.
At the same time, from every direction, a dense black fog began to billow at high speed towards the Hot Springs Garden. Wherever this black fog passed, everything, be it animal or human, would begin to corrode, then die.
Linley looked up into the sky.
The sky above him, as well, was now covered with that dense black fog. The surrounding black fog swept towards him at high speed.
“Someone’s here.”
Linley could sense that within that dense black fog, there were several black blurs that were charging towards him at high speed.
At this moment, there was nowhere for Linley to flee!
“Haaaargh!”
At a high speed, Linley descended from the man-made and, as though he were a fish, jumped into the hot springs pool.
“Milord.” Just at this moment, an attendant ran over from outside. “Milord, Lord Cardinal Guillermo of the Radiant Church has arrived.”“Guillermo?”Linley’s body trembled, and then he immediately headed for the door, going out to personally welcome Guillermo.Within the main hall.“Linley, I hear that recently, your life has been leisurely and carefree.
