Scryer Records
Since he had promised Cesar, Linley naturally began to ponder as to what method he could use to investigate Cecily’s situation. However, despite the fact that he was now a red-robed elder, he didn’t have the authority to arbitrarily enter the residence of the clan leader. After having ordered people to bring Dylin and Tarosse over here, Linley began to investigate and see what he could find.
“Magnolia [Ma’ge’nuo’li’ya]!”
Linley quickly strode forward to greet her.
Magnolia. A red-robed elder of the Bagshaw clan. She was the one and only female red-robed elder of the three which Bakwill had brought during the previous battle. Magnolia turned, her violet eyes carrying a hint of a smile. “Mr. Linley, is there something you need?”
“Magnolia, there’s something I want to ask about.” Linley said hurriedly.
“Go ahead.” Magnolia was very courteous.
“Last time, Sequeira was infuriated and wanted to kill my friend. It should have been for the sake of his wife. Do you know the current situation of young master Sequeira’s wife?” Linley asked directly.
Magnolia furrowed her forehead, then shook her head. “I’m not sure about that. Sequeira and his wife both live in the clan leader’s estate. I normally find it hard to go in there as well. I imagine that those who know of this situation are most likely the servants and the housekeepers of the clan leader’s estate. Just those few.”
Linley frowned.
The clan leader’s estate was the most tightly restricted area in the entire Bagshaw clan. The people who lived there consisted of Bakwill as well as his two sons. Those servants who lived there normally never came out.
To investigate would be very hard.
“If you have the chance, you can just go ask Sequeira or the lord clan leader directly.” Magnolia advised.
“Alright. Got it. Sorry for bothering you.”
Linley immediately left.
Ask Sequeira or Bakwill? Of course Linley knew that was the best way! But Linley also knew that upon asking, Sequeira or Bakwill would definitely know that he was asking on behalf of Cesar, at which point, what would Sequeira and the others think?
At the very least, they would feel quite uncomfortable.
Unless absolutely necessarily, Linley didn’t want to act to make others irritated.
After walking around for a bit, he asked quite a few people with high status, but he still didn’t know anything about Cecily’s current situation. Disappointed, Linley thus could only first return home. By the time he returned to his own estate, Linley saw Cesar at the gates.
“Linley, how did it go?” Cesar hurriedly asked.
“Cecily lives in the clan leader’s estate. Even I’m not allowed to just barge in there. Don’t be hasty. I’ll ask again in a while.” Linley shook his head regretfully.
A look of disappointment flashed past Cesar’s eyes, and then he forced out a smile. “I’m in no rush, in no rush!”
Linley sighed in his heart.
“Right. Tarosse and Dylin are here.” Cesar said. “They came?” Linley immediately walked inside, and the nearby Cesar hurriedly said, “Linley, you can’t blame them. You know how bad the situation was. They didn’t want to sacrifice themselves for nothing.”
“I understand.”
In his heart, Linley didn’t blame Tarosse or Dylin too much.
Only, Linley was puzzled. Based on his understanding of Tarosse and Dylin, when that sort of dangerous situation had occurred, those two should have been the first to stand forward. But both of them actually retreated, naturally causing Linley to be filled with disbelief.
Although there was nothing wrong with their decision, from an emotional standpoint, it was still rather hard to accept.
Walking past the corridor, he passed through the courtyard door. Linley saw Dylin and Tarosse, currently seated.
“Boss!” Bebe stood up, then muttered disdainfully from the corner of his lips, “These two came.”
Linley just glanced at Bebe. Although he wasn’t happy, there was no need for them to stomp on their face like that.
Dylin and Tarosse both immediately stood up as well. The two of them were rather embarrassed. But Linley laughed as he walked over. “Dylin, Tarosse, sit and chat, sit!” Linley himself was the first to sit.
Dylin and Tarosse exchanged a glance.
“Linley, about today, it was our fault.” Dylin took the lead to speak. Shaking his head, he said helplessly, “I’m sorry. At the time, we both thought that resistance just meant death, and so…” Tarosse nodded as well.
When a person felt guilty, they would be timid when speaking. This was how Dylin and Tarosse were right now.
“I don’t blame you.” Linley laughed. “After all, in the end, Cesar’s still fine.” Linley could tell that Dylin and Tarosse both felt ashamed. Since they were capable of feeling shame, there was no need for him to say anything else.
Tarosse and Dylin both felt relieved.
“Linley!” Tarosse couldn’t help but feel puzzled, and so he asked, “I heard that you, by yourself, killed many island guards, and that you even defeated a red-robed elder?”
“That was luck.” Linley said.
Tarosse and Dylin looked at each other. They lived here on Miluo Island, and knew how powerful the red-robed elders were. Each red-robed elder had the power of a Seven Star Fiend! But this God in front of them, Linley, had actually defeated a Seven Star Fiend!
Back when they were in the Yulan continent, Linley was only just a Demigod.
“Linley, you…are you a God or a Highgod?” Dylin asked again.
It wasn’t Dylin’s fault for asking this. Linley’s performance had simply been too astonishing.
“No need to discuss this. You can just consider me a Six Star Fiend.” Linley shook his head. “Tarosse, Dylin, I want to ask you about something. I hear that the victors of a hundred battles in the Arena can enter the secret area in the western part of the island. Do you know what is inside the secret area?”
The red-robed elders were qualified to enter the secret area of Miluo Island as well.
What exactly did the secret area of Miluo Island have? Linley was puzzled as well.
“The secret area?” Dylin and Tarosse were both surprised and puzzled.
“Ask Tarosse. I’m not sure.” Dylin shook his head.
“Weren’t you a victor of a hundred battles in the God Arena?” Linley didn’t understand. Dylin explained, “After entering the secret area, you also need to undergo a test within the secret area. Only if you are considered to be qualified will you be allowed to go in for a viewing. I was refused outside the door.”
Linley was startled.
