After returning to the Ernst Magic Academy, Lin Lei simply took a package he often used and directly entered the back mountain of the Ernst Magic Academy. The package contained clothes, magic crystal cards, and a plain sword.

  "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, keep an eye on Third Brother." Yale instructed.

  George and Reno also nodded, they were also a bit worried about Lin Lei.

  "What's up, boss?" Reno said.

  A cold glint flashed in Yale's eyes: "Me?"

  "I'm going to go check, why that blind woman Alice abandoned Old Three. Who is that bastard who dares to steal my brother's woman." Yale said as he stood up, "I'll head to Finlay City now, you guys take good care of Old Three."

  "I know." Reno and George nodded.

  Yale then took a few family guards and left Ernst Magic Academy directly for Fenley City, while Reno and George rushed to the back mountain of Ernst Academy in the snowy weather.

  ******

  Riding a fine horse, Yale led several guards to gallop through the snowy ground and soon they arrived at Finlay City. After entering Finlay City, Yale directly went to his family's residence in Finlay City.

  It was a nine-story high-rise building, Finlay City's famous luxury hotel.

  Behind the hotel, there were some independent small buildings that were not open to outsiders. Yale rushed into one of the red two-story buildings, and five middle-aged men in magnificent attire immediately poured out of the two-story building. The five middle-aged men saw Yale and respectfully said in unison: "Young Master Yale."

  "Walter, where's my uncle?" Yale asked directly.

  Those five middle-aged men, one of whom was named Walter and the only one wearing a black robe, respectfully said: "The Lord has already returned to headquarters seven days ago. For now, I will be in charge of the affairs on the side of the Sacred Alliance."

  Walter was well aware that since his younger brother Yale became a student at Ernst Magic Academy, his position in the family had risen significantly.

  Yale, unlike the average younger brother in the family, is a legitimate child. Even his superior, the second uncle who oversees the entire Holy Alliance affairs, would not neglect Yale.

  "Is there anything I can do for you, Master Yale?" Walter said respectfully.

  Yale hesitated for a moment, then directly ordered: "You go and investigate, on the Familiar Road in Fenley City, there is a 16-year-old girl named Alice. She is also a student of Willing Magic Academy. Recently, she has been with a man. You bring me all the information about Alice and that man."

  "Yes, Master Yale." Huarte smiled faintly again. "Master Yale seems to like this Alice, if I may...".

  "No need." Yale's face turned cold, "I need the information you have, and I need it as soon as possible. As soon as possible, got it?"

  "Yes." Walter also noticed that this Yale young man seemed quite angry this time.

  ……

  That night, the candlelight was dim and faint.

  Yale's face sank. He sat at the dinner table, slowly drinking his wine. His mind was clearly elsewhere.

  The sound of rapid footsteps echoed, and Walter hurried in with a woman who appeared to be in her twenties, her face icy cold. As they entered the dining room, Walter immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Master Yale, the message from Alice and that man has been investigated."

  "Say it," Yale said coldly.

  Walter looked at the cold woman beside him. The woman said respectfully, "Master Yale, Miss Alice has two boyfriends, the first one is named Lin Lebaruk, born in Wushan..."

  "Stop, say the second male lead." Yale frowned.

  "Alice's current boyfriend, named Kalendubis, was born in Finlay City, is 17 years old this year, a student of the Willing Warrior Academy, and a fifth-level warrior! The Dubis family he belongs to is a large family in the Kingdom of Finlay, and Kalendubis is the heir of the Dubis family."

  "Calondrebus, of House Debuss? Yale furrowed his brow, 'A minor house in a kingdom?'"

  "Debus family, a big family in the Kingdom of Finlay, but just an unremarkable small family on the Yulan continent," said Huarte with a slightly flattering tone.

  "Oh, I'm going to discipline this Debus family a bit, can you think of a way?" Yale looked at Watt.

  "This is easy!"

  Walter burst out laughing, "Yale young master, you don't know this, but the Debus family is actually a partner of our Dawson Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Fenley. We do big business in Fenley, we make a lot of money, and they, the Debus family, just make a little bit. After all these years, it's also fattened up the Debus family."

  "Oh, this Debus family, is actually a partner of our Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom of Finlay?" A hint of sarcastic smile appeared on Yale's face.

  Walter nodded, "Yes, Master Yale. You also know that our Dawson Chamber of Commerce is not doing business to monopolize all profits. In the four major empires and dozens of kingdoms, there are some collaborators who can get a share of the benefits."

  Yale nodded.

  He knew that the Dawson family controlled one of the three major merchant guilds on the entire Yulan continent, the Dawson Merchant Guild. Even the four great empires and two great alliances didn't dare to underestimate them. This was also the reason why Yale could enter Ernst Academy through the back door.

  Ernst Magic Academy, behind which is the Luminary Church, publicly declares that the recruitment of students is absolutely fair.

  Being able to enter the Bright Church's back door is not something that an ordinary family can achieve.

  Dawson Chamber of Commerce, the business creed is - everyone makes money together.

  In the four major empires and two major alliances of various kingdoms and principalities, Dawson's Chamber of Commerce will have some collaborators who will slightly occupy a good position.

  Following the Dawson Conglomerate, that's getting on a giant warship. Take a look at the Debus family, the Dawson Conglomerate's business in the Kingdom of Finley is just enough to let the Debus family drink some "soup" and become one of the richest families in the Kingdom of Finley.

  "Yale young master, in the kingdom of Finley, there are many families that want to replace the Debus family's position and become our cooperative partner in the Finley Kingdom region. It's just because the Debus family has been cooperating with us quite well, we haven't given other families a chance yet." Walter said with a smile.

  Yale understands what Huarte means.

  "Finlay Kingdom's middle collaborator, change it for me immediately. That Debus family. Suppress them!" Yale's voice was cold.

  "Yes, sir." Walter immediately responded.

  Just a collaborator of the kingdom, even Huarte, this Dawson Chamber's second-in-command in the Sacred Alliance region, has the right to replace him. Not to mention Yale, the legitimate son of this family.

  "Poor Debus family." thought Walter.

  ******

  Behind the Ernst Magic Academy, a series of heavy snowfalls had covered the entire hill with a layer of silver armor. In the dense forest, there were occasionally some giant rocks. On an open space on the hill, Lin Lei stood quietly in front of a giant rock with his eyes closed.

  Ying Mouse - Beibei - quietly guarded Lin Lei in the snowy field beside.

  George and Reno looked at each other in confusion beside him.

  "George, what is Lin Lei doing? He has been standing in front of the giant stone for a whole day and night. Call him, he doesn't respond. And for a whole day and night, he hasn't eaten or drunk anything. How can this go on?" Leno was getting anxious.

  "Hey, don't worry," George said with a slow shake of his head. "Old Three is a 6th-level magician and also a warrior. His physical quality is extremely strong, and he has the support of the elements of heaven and earth. Even if he doesn't eat or drink for several days and nights, it won't be a problem. Let's just watch for now. I believe Old Three isn't someone who can't withstand a blow."

  Renault nodded slightly.

  They have no idea what state Lin Lei is in now.

  At this time, Delin Kowert was also on the side. However, neither Reno nor George could see that Delin Kowert was looking at Lin Lei. In his heart, he secretly exclaimed: "This Lin Lei seems to have entered a new realm." As a Stone Sculpture Grandmaster-level figure, Delin Kowert had also guessed about Lin Lei's current state.

  Lin Lei looked at the giant stone in front of him. The stone was over two meters high and three or four meters long.

  Staring at the lines and patterns on the boulder itself, the stone pattern of this boulder is very messy. However, in Lin Lei's long gaze, some of the patterns seem to be extracted and naturally gathered in Lin Lei's mind.

  These patterns vaguely resemble five human figures.

  In a daze, the five human figures suddenly transformed into five Alices. Various scenes also emerged in Lin Lei's mind, and the giant stone in his mind was naturally carved away, finally turning into five female stone carvings.

  "George, look! Lao San has moved." Reno exclaimed in surprise.

  Lin Lei took out the broadsword from the package, holding it in his right hand, staring at the huge stone, and then Lin Lei moved as a whole, that broadsword turned into a flash of sword shadow, and the huge stone suddenly became flying debris.

  The soul merges with the earth and blends with the wind.

  Lin Lei's mind could clearly feel the texture of the entire giant stone, and the swinging flat knife was like a floating wind that shaved the giant stone. Each knife seemed to be strictly measured, not too much or too little, precise to the peak.

  The flat knife moves swiftly at times, and at other times it touches lightly with care, leaving a mark that floats away, and at other times it heavily chops off a piece of fragmented stone...

  "Still remember, back then under Bloodthirsty War Boar you looked pitiful."

  In Lin Lei's mind, it was the scene of his first meeting with Alice. The emotions in his heart were completely infused into the flat sword. The snowflakes around Lin Lei began to swirl around him, and his soul merged with the earth and wind like never before, causing the earth and wind elements to surge into Lin Lei's body.

  Lin Lei didn't have any other thoughts, he was now indulging in that feeling.

  Gradually, the leftmost one-fifth of the giant stone was carved into a woman's figure, and the rough outline of the stone sculpture began to take shape. Lin Lei neither ate nor drank, continuing to carve without stopping for a moment. Sometimes he could swing his knife dozens of times in an instant, sometimes carefully carving out a beautiful line in several minutes.

  ……

  Lin Lei, who had completely poured his feelings for Alice into the flat knife, did not notice that he was now in a state that was more focused than ever before since he started learning stone carving.

  In the past, no matter how many times Lin Lei carved, he would never be 100% immersed in it.

  At least in the past, Lin Lei spent many days carving a single stone sculpture. He could stop at any time and wait until next time to continue carving.

  But this time is different, Lin Lei is completely immersed in the kind of swinging past emotions, immersed in the passion of carving. He doesn't even realize that he needs to stop, nor does he realize that he needs to eat and drink. This state of absolute immersion also makes Lin Lei blend with nature in an unprecedented way.

  In a state of absolute fusion with nature, Lin Lei's spiritual power is growing at an unprecedented and terrifying speed...

  Lin Lei's spiritual power is growing at a rate thousands of times faster than ordinary people.

  "Completely and naturally harmonious, reaching a state of 'forgetting oneself', it's truly astonishing." Deling Kwovawte's eyes sparkled.

  Day by day passed, Lin Lei was completely immersed in it, and the earth element and wind element continuously poured into his body, replenishing the energy consumption of his body.

  Before he knew it, Lin Lei had been carving for a whole ten days and nights.

  Pong!

  Snowflakes danced around Lin Lei in all directions, as he stood calmly holding a flat knife, gazing at the gigantic stone carving before him. This stone carving was the one that Lin Lei had put the most effort into, also the largest stone carving he had ever created, and his most successful work.

  This stone carving consists of five female figurines, modeled after Alice.

  Her lovely appearance in danger

  There is also an adorable look of whispering on the balcony.

  With her shy appearance when she was in love for the first time

  There is also her moving appearance when she was in love

  And even at the time of parting, that one strand of ruthless appearance!

  "A year's time, everything seemed like a dream, and now the dream has finally awakened. This piece of work will be called 'Awakening from a Dream'. Lin Lei looked at this stone carving, feeling his heart lighter than ever before. It was as if all the emotions of the past had been poured into this stone carving."

  Stone carving - Dream awakening, thus born!
