Lin Lei looked at the group of people who came to rescue him, led by the black-robed old man and accompanied by the 'ascetic' beside him, both of whom were extremely powerful. Otherwise, the 'arbiter' of the Dark Church would not have fled without a fight.

  The black-robed elder gave people a cold feeling.

  "Deputy Judge? The Glorious Court has been passed down for so many years, and the internal system still hasn't changed. This Deputy Judge should be under the 'Religious Tribunal'." Deling Kwovar's voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind, "In comparison, that ascetic is even more terrifying."

  Ascetic?

  Lin Lei couldn't help but cast his gaze towards that 'ascetic'.

  The old man, dressed in a hemp robe and barefoot with long hair, had an ancient and simple aura. When this 'ascetic' came towards Lin Lei, Lin Lei even felt a refreshing breeze.

  "A true strongman." Lin Lei thought to himself.

  That old man in black robes looked at Lin Lei, a rare smile on his face: "Lin Lei, you might as well come with us back to the Holy City first. Once we're back in the Holy City, those people won't dare disturb you again."

  Finlay City, the Holy See of the Sacred Alliance. The Radiant Church in Finlay City is not only a powerful force in the light, but also a hidden power lurking in the darkness that is absolutely astonishing. Neither the Dark Church nor the Four Great Empires dare to make trouble in the Holy See.

  Finlay East City, in a mansion on Green Leaf Road, Lin Lei is currently discussing the war knife "Slaughter" with Yale in the living room.

  "Old Three, I've already sent someone to ask around. The head of the Lucas family is not willing to sell the war knife 'Carnage' at all. According to him, their family doesn't lack money." Yale frowned and said, "I think if you personally take action, it should be better. Of course, on the premise that they know your identity."

  Yulan Continent's second most talented magician in history, and possibly a future Saint Domain Magister. A talent like this would likely be given some respect, even by the stubborn head of the Lucas family.

  "Then I'll go visit the head of the Lucas family tonight." Lin Lei was determined to get the war knife 'Carnage'.

  The treasure of family inheritance, can it be passed on outside? Moreover, this is also the greatest wish of my father and the wish of our ancestors for generations.

  When Lin Lei left home to go to Ernst Magic Academy, his father's words still echoed in his ears - "Lin Lei, remember the wishes of our ancestors for hundreds of years, remember the shame of our Baroque family!"

  "After graduation, you are at least a 6th-level magician. As long as you study hard and diligently, it's not difficult to become a 7th-level magician. Plus, you're a dual-system magician! A 7th-level dual-system magician is absolutely a big shot in the Kingdom of Fenlay. You will have every opportunity to reclaim your family's heirloom treasure. If you can't reclaim it, even if I die, I won't forgive you."

  "Even if I die, I won't forgive you." The words were like a heavy hammer striking Lin Lei's heart.

  Lin Lei did not dare to forget, as long as he had the ability, no matter what price he paid, he would bring back the war knife 'Carnage' for himself. This was not only for family reasons, but also for his father's sake.

  "No matter what, I must get it back." Lin Lei made a decision in his heart.

  If gentle doesn't work, then let's try forceful.

  Of course, it's better for family heirlooms to be returned openly and honestly. Try to make the other party willing to hand them over voluntarily.

  "Boss, why don't we just make a move and rob them directly?" Beibei's voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind.

  Lin Lei looked at Beibei curled up on his thigh and couldn't help but pat its little head: "Don't be naughty." Beibei wrinkled its small nose, hummed a sound, and lay back down on Lin Lei's thigh with its eyes closed to sleep.

  At this time, footsteps sounded outside, and a middle-aged man in blue robes walked in and said respectfully: "Young Master Yale, 'Kerry Wen', the minister of Fenley Kingdom, is outside. He wants to see Young Master Lin Lei."

  "Kelly Wen, what's going on?" Yale frowned and said.

  The Duke of the General Kingdom, Yale is too lazy to care about it.

  "Young master, haven't you been paying attention to the Lucas family lately? This Kelly Wen is also a member of the Lucas family." The middle-aged man in blue robes said with a smile, "Now the head of the Lucas family is actually Kelly Wen's uncle."

  Yale's eyes lit up: "Quickly, let him in."

  "Lao San, it seems that the difficulty of getting back your family's heirloom has decreased significantly." Yale smiled at Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei was also somewhat happy in her heart.

  Lin Lei also looked towards the entrance, and after a moment, he saw a blond-haired man smiling as he stepped into the hall. Seeing Lin Lei and Yale, the blond-haired man immediately bowed humbly and said: "Kelly Wen, nice to meet you, Master Yale, nice to meet you, Master Lin Lei."

  "What brings you here looking for my brother?" Yale asked bluntly.

  Kelly smiled and said, "This time I came to bring an invitation from His Majesty to Mr. Lin Lei, do you want to become the court magician of the Kingdom of Fenley? His Majesty can also grant you a marquis title, or even grant you a large territory."

  Lin Lei smiled.

  He remembered that the red-robed cardinal of the Holy See had once given him a condition - he could be in any kingdom under the banner of the Sacred Alliance, and even directly become a duke. He didn't need to do anything, and he could enjoy all this.

  "Kellywen, I can tell you that during my time at Ernst Academy, the Cardinal of the Luminous Church personally invited my brother, and the conditions he offered were much better than yours!" Yale said with a sneer.

  Kelly smiled and continued: "Good terms, Your Majesty means that Mr. Lin Lei can stay in our Fenlai Kingdom."

  In the Sacred Alliance, the rights of the six major kingdoms are also different. If the Kingdom of Fenley gains Lin Lei's support, the status of the royal family of Fenley in the Sacred Alliance will become even more stable.

  After all... The Holy See of Light is qualified to abolish a kingdom's king, and can even directly destroy a royal family! The authority of the Holy See far surpasses that of the imperial power.

  The royal family has a strong reliance on this, which is also very important.

  "Kelly Wen." Lin Lei finally spoke up.

  Kelly Wen bowed slightly and listened intently.

  "You're from the Lucas family, aren't you?" Lin Lei directly got to the point.

  Kelly nodded slightly proudly and said: "Yes, the head of the family is indeed my uncle."

  "I am of the Baruk family." Lin Lei looked at Kelly Wen, "My Baruk family has a heirloom called the war knife 'Carnage', but it left my family hundreds of years ago. I now hope to retrieve this war knife 'Carnage'. And as far as I know, our family's heirloom is currently in your Lucas family."

  Lin Lei said this and stopped talking.

  Kelly's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

  "War Blade 'Carnage', the weapon of the first Dragon Blood Warrior?" Kellywen looked at Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei nodded slightly.

  Kelly hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young Master Lin Lei, to be honest, the person with the most authority in our family is my uncle. He's already old and doesn't hold any positions anymore. His greatest hobby is collecting, and this war knife 'Carnage' is one of his favorite items to show off to outsiders. This treasure worth nearly a million gold coins is also the most precious collection in our family. You could say that it's my uncle's lifeblood, so getting him to let go... won't be easy."

  Lin Lei furrowed his brow.

  The war knife 'Carnage' was originally sold for 180,000 gold coins. Although the purchasing power of gold coins hundreds of years ago is much higher than now. But in comparison, it's equivalent to about 400,000 gold coins at most. Yet the other party said one million gold coins.

  It seems... the price at which our family's 'shameful' ancestor sold it out was too low.

  "Kerry, this war knife 'Carnage' has been passed down in our family for over 5,000 years. Its importance to us is immeasurable. To outsiders, it's just a collectible, but to us, losing the family heirloom is a shame." Lin Lei's face darkened.

  "A family's shame, I must wash it away. For this war sword 'Carnage', I will spare no expense. My meaning, do you understand?" Lin Lei stared at Kellywen.

  Kelly felt something was off too.

  The history of the Baruk family, he had naturally heard of it. After all, there was this collectible in his house.

  For a glorious family that once spanned the entire continent, the importance of inheriting the family heirloom can be imagined. The Baroque family was too weak in the past and they didn't care. But now with Lin Lei suddenly appearing... Not to mention the future Lin Lei, even the current Lin Lei would have no problem dealing with their family.

  As long as Lin Lei tells the Guangming Church that he wants to take back his war knife 'Tu Lu', to wash away the shame of his family, the Lucas family will probably obediently hand it over.

  But if it involves the Holy See of Light, then it's serious.

  "I understand what Mr. Lin Lei means, I understand." Kelly felt a little guilty in her heart.

  Lin Lei smiled at Kelly Wen: "I hope you Lucas family can understand my difficulties, as a member of the family, I have no choice. Kelly, you go back and tell your uncle first, I will visit him in person tonight."

  "We Lucas family welcome Mr. Lin Lei's arrival." Kelly was already thinking about how to persuade that stubborn old man.

  Watching Kelly Wen leave, Lin Lei felt a sense of superiority in his heart.

  Although he had no position, his reputation was outside, and just a few words with Kelly Wen made the minister of this kingdom worried. All of this is because of his own status, and his status is also caused by his strength.

  That night.

  The living room of the Lucas family's old mansion was tastefully decorated, and the dozen or so people in it were all high-ranking individuals from the Kingdom of Fenlai. The lowest title among them was that of a count, and they were all here waiting for Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei, a new star in the Kingdom of Finland.

  Although Lin Lei is now only seventeen years old and has no title, even the Duke of the Kingdom dare not underestimate him.

  After all, these people can only make waves in the Kingdom of Fenley no matter how high their status is. But Lin Lei? He's a figure valued by the Four Great Empires and the Two Great Alliances. Perhaps decades later, Lin Lei will become the Cardinal of the Holy See, with a status higher than that of the King of the kingdom.

  It's very important to build a good relationship with them while they are still not in a high position.

  Among these dozen or so people, only Jeb Marquess, the head of the Lucas family, felt uncomfortable in his heart. He was old and had no other hobbies, and he liked this personal weapon of the first Dragon Blood Warrior the most, and he had always been proud of it.

  But... now the descendants of the other family have come and want this treasure back.

  "Mr. Lin Lei, please."

  "Mr. Yale, please."

  The voice of the servant outside the door entered the living room, instantly making the dozen or so nobles in the living room smile and look towards the door. Even Jeb, the Earl who was uncomfortable in his heart, squeezed out a smile to greet him.

  Lin Lei was called 'Mr.' for the first time and felt a bit unaccustomed to it. At this moment, he also saw the silver-haired old man with neatly combed hair walking over with a smile, saying very politely: "It's our great pleasure to welcome Lin Lei and Yale to my Lucas family, I'm Jeb as the head of the family, deeply honored."

  Lin Lei's face involuntarily revealed a hint of a smile.

  It seems like something is going on!
