The aisle of the auction hall was lined with nobles and wealthy people, who had voluntarily parted to make way for a passage. There were two cardinals from the Holy See, Gilmer and Lampson, King Clyde of the Kingdom of Fenley, Maya, the president of the Prucks Guild, Yale Young Master of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and Lin Lei, a magical genius and master sculptor.

  These few people walked in the middle, chatting and laughing with each other as they headed towards the entrance of the Prucks Hall.

  "Lord Gilmer, Lord Lampson."

  "Your Majesty."

  "Master Lin Lei."

  ...while the surrounding nobles and wealthy individuals smiled one by one, humbly greeting them. The Debus family was squeezed into a corner. Alice, with her hat brim pressed low, couldn't help but raise her head, looking from between the crowd at 'Lin Lei' who was being flattered by many nobles and wealthy people.

  Lin Lei is now the most legendary genius.

  A seventeen-year-old seventh-level magician, and in the field of stone carving, he has reached the same level as masters like Prucks, Hopkinson, and Hoover. Such a genius is naturally as dazzling as the brightest star in the sky, making people look up to him. Gradually, the two red-robed high priests, Clyde Your Majesty, Lin Lei, Yale, and others all left.

  All the nobles and wealthy people finally left in order.

  "You're Alice." A clear voice suddenly rang out.

  Several members of the Debus family looked back.

  Only a beautiful blonde girl came over, behind her was an old man with a kind smile. But whether it's the blonde girl or the old man, there is a noble atmosphere that comes from within, and their glances make people feel somewhat inferior.

  Bernard immediately stepped forward and humbly said, "Lord Hugh, this must be Miss Delia. I've long heard that the Delia of the Lane family is stunningly beautiful, but today I see that she's even more lovely than the rumors."

  The influence of the Debus family is limited to the royal family of Finlay, and compared with the superfamily 'Lain Family' of the Yulan Empire, the gap is unknown how much.

  "Oh, head of the Debus family?" Dilia glanced at Bernard.

  Bernard nodded humbly.

  "Is this your son Kalan's fiancée?" Delia glanced at Ailis hiding behind Kalan.

  "He? No, she is not my son Kalan's legitimate wife."

  "Not the legitimate wife?" Delia's face had a cold smile, Delia walked slowly towards Alice, Bernard didn't dare to stop her. When she reached Kalan's side, Kalan still tried to puff out his chest to block her.

  But Delia's icy gaze made Kalan feel a chill in his heart.

  Especially thinking that the other party is the eldest sister of the Laine family, Kalan's heart was even more out of breath. Now the relationship between the Debus family and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce has become very bad, if they offend the Laine family again, it would be easy for the Laine family to deal with the Debus family.

  "Alice." Delia gazed into Alice's eyes.

  Alice lifted her chin and met Delia's gaze with effort, doing her best to remain calm and composed.

  Dilia smiled and said softly, "Aris, I really don't know how Lin Lei could like you?" Aris's face turned pale, but she opened her mouth to say, "This has nothing to do with you!"

  "None of my business?" Delia smiled faintly, "Yes, it's none of my business, but I really pity you for letting Lin Lei go. As a result, you can't even become the legitimate wife of the Debus family. I think you'll regret... Unfortunately, you won't have another chance because someone like you will never intersect with Lin Lei again. From now on, you two are people from different worlds, understand?"

  Delia didn't care about Carla and Alice's ugly faces, instead turning to look at Bernard.

  "Sorry to disturb you," Delia said very politely.

  "Bernard bowed humbly: 'Miss Delia, slow down.'"

  The old man beside Delia glanced at Carla, who looked unwell, and then hummed coldly as he followed Delia away. Bernard, on the other hand, maintained a smile as he saw them off, but once Delia and her servant left, he turned around and glared fiercely at Carla and Alice.

  "Damn it!" Bernard cursed loudly.

  Karl and Alice didn't dare utter a word, and the Debus family returned in an oppressive silence.

  The Lucas family estate in Finlay City.

  "Master Lin Lei, no, don't mention it." Marquis Jeb hurriedly refused Lin Lei. "Really, no need for 600,000 gold coins, Master Lin Lei is really sorry, I really didn't know you had such attainments in the field of stone carving."

  Marquis Jebel, this stubborn old man, looked at Lin Lei with eyes that were almost worshipful.

  The Marquis de Joubert had no other hobbies, his only hobby was collecting.

  As for some master-level figures, it is naturally a heartfelt worship. I'm afraid that even the king of a kingdom in front of him would not be able to make him sincerely worship and admire.

  "Otherwise, it's 180,000 gold coins. Alright, my family originally bought it for 180,000 gold coins, and now we're selling it for 180,000 gold coins again. That's fair too. Master Lin Lei, I really can't take more of your money. If I were to profit from you, Master Lin Lei, I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly."

  Marquis Jeb is this lovely old man stubbornly.

  "Marquis Jeb, when the Lucas family first bought this war sword 'Carnage' from my family, it cost 180,000 gold coins. The 180,000 gold coins from hundreds of years ago are worth a lot more than today's gold coins." Lin Lei didn't want to take advantage of others.

  Marquis Jebel stubbornly stared at Lin Lei.

  "Haha, you guys are really... " Yale laughed so hard he was holding his stomach. "The sellers are desperately lowering prices, as if they can't wait to give it away for free. But the buyers want to pay even more money. This is a scene I've never seen before."

  Lin Lei couldn't help but smile: "Marquis Jeb, how about this? The 180,000 gold coins from hundreds of years ago are equivalent to 360,000 gold coins now. Just 360,000 gold coins. Don't refuse again, or I'll throw down this magic crystal card and leave directly."

  Lin Lei said and took out a magic crystal card from his bosom.

  Marquis Jeb looked at Lin Lei with difficulty and finally nodded: "Alright then."

  Lin Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Marquis Jeb suddenly smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Master Lin Lei, I have a request, I don't know if I should say it."

  "Speak," Lin Lei said with a smile, looking at Marquis Jeb Hou.

  Marquis Jeb immediately waved his hand at the servants, and two servants quickly moved out a standing stone slab from behind.

  "Master Lin Lei, I just wanted you to help me leave a signature, I think, I will keep it forever." Marquis Jeb looked at Lin Lei with expectation.

  Lin Lei smiled and then took out a flat knife from his bosom.

  With a casual wave of his hand, the knife shadow danced, and the stone slab surface suddenly burst into flying debris. In just three breaths, Lin Lei withdrew his flat knife. However, with a light blow against the stone slab, the debris completely flew up, revealing two large characters that seemed to fly and dance - 'Lin Lei'!

  Marquis Zhebu gazed at the two characters, his eyes shining brightly: "What a wonderful and elegant carving technique, what beautiful handwriting! These two characters are worth more than 360,000 gold coins!"

  Lin Lei was so shocked by these words that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

  On the road from Finlay City to Wushan Town, the water fir trees on both sides of the road were neatly arranged. Lin Lei rode a tall horse at high speed on the road, with a huge box on his shoulder that weighed hundreds of pounds. Fortunately, this horse was a good horse given by Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and ordinary horses would not be able to run so fast under such heavy load.

  Behind Lin Lei, there was also a cavalry team of one hundred people.

  This team was given to Lin Lei by Gilmer, the cardinal of the Holy See of Light. According to the Holy See of Light, Lin Lei's safety is extremely important. The last time Lin Lei was hijacked has explained everything. This cavalry squad, even the lowest one has the strength of a fifth-level warrior, and it is a small team in the ace knight team of the Holy See of Light.

  A hundred war horses galloped by, leaving behind a trail of dust and smoke.

  Lin Lei gazed at the increasingly clear Wushan Town in the distance, and scenes of his childhood flashed through his mind: training on the empty land of Wushan Town when he was young, and the terror of seeing a swift dragon for the first time.

  In Lin Lei's eyes in the past, Xun Meng Long was almost invincible. But for today's Lin Lei, Xun Meng Long is nothing at all.

  Rumble...

  The earth shook violently, and over a hundred excellent war horses galloped at high speed, their thunderous hooves audible from far away.

  Many residents of Wushan Town were frightened and hid on the side of the street, with a curious, nervous and fearful mood, looking at this powerful cavalry corps in the distance.

  "What a powerful cavalry team."

  Hillman, who was walking in the middle of Wushan Town Street, couldn't help but turn his head to look back. The neat, fast and powerful horseshoes alone made Hillman's heart shocked. Even in the army, he had rarely seen such high-quality cavalry.

  At least they are fifth-level warriors; how could the cavalry squad of the Knights Templar be inferior?

  That surging momentum alone is enough to make one tremble.

  "Who's that?" Hillman spotted the person at the very front with a single glance.

  "Lin Lei." Hillman's face changed greatly, then he quickly ran towards the Baroque family mansion.

  Lin Lei led the cavalry squad to slow down after entering Wushan Town, and only Lin Lei himself hurried slightly towards his family's residence. Looking at the distant manor wall with mottled marks, scenes of playing in the manor as a child naturally emerged in Lin Lei's mind.

  "Baroque family, my roots!" Lin Lei carried the box of his war knife 'Carnage' with nothing but endless pride in his heart.

  Lin Lei still clearly remembers the first time he set out to go to Ernst College, what his father said to him. Lin Lei believes that what his father said to him, he will probably never forget for a lifetime - "Lin Lei, remember the wishes of our Baroque ancestors over the centuries, 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 in the future. If you can't reclaim it, even if I die, I won't forgive you."

  "Even if I die, I won't forgive you!"

  That sound kept echoing in Lin Lei's mind, and he could feel the weight of his war sword 'Carnage' on his back, a heroic spirit emerged in his heart.

  "Dad, I'm back!"

  "Father, I've returned with the battle sword 'Carnage'!"

  Lin Lei swiftly jumped off the horseback and rushed directly into the courtyard of the mansion.

  "Father!" Lin Lei shouted loudly.

  "I'm back, with the war sword 'Carnage'!" Lin Lei's voice was filled with joy and excitement.

  The ancestors of the family worked hard for hundreds of years, and it was the greatest hope of his father's life. And now he has finally done it for his father!

  "What about 'Massacre'?" a voice rang out.

  Lin Lei turned his head and looked over, it was actually Hillman.

  "Uncle Hillman, where's Father? Hurry up and let him out. Haha, I've finally brought back the war blade 'Carnage'! Really, our Dragon Blood Warrior family heirloom, I've finally brought it back. Quickly tell me where Father is, he'll be extremely happy when he finds out. Tonight, we'll have to drink well, Uncle Hillman don't worry, today I won't decline, I'll definitely drink with you till we're drunk."

  Lin Lei was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and took out the box on his back, holding it and staring at Hillman.

  But... Hillman's face didn't have a hint of joy, instead there was a hint of desolation.

  "Xi, Uncle Hillman?" Lin Lei's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Hillman. "Uncle Hillman, where is my father?"

  Sherman looked at Lin Lei, forcing a smile: "Lin Lei, you've brought back the war sword 'Carnage'? Your father will definitely be thrilled to know that, he definitely will."

  "Where is my father?"

  "Your father, he...he died three months ago." Hillman slowly said, his eyes already moist.

  Lin Lei felt an instant as if countless thunderbolts were rumbling in his ears, and his mind went blank.

  "Clang!"

  Lin Lei's box fell heavily to the ground, the lid flew open, revealing a giant battle knife filled with murderous aura and a hint of blood red color. The icy killing intent and bloody atmosphere suddenly oppressed the entire courtyard.

  "Is he dead?"

  Lin Lei looked at Hillman in disbelief.

  Hillman nodded slightly.

  Suddenly, Lin Lei laughed: "Haha, Uncle Sherman, you must be fooling me. Haha, I've brought back the battle knife 'Carnage'. Look, Uncle Sherman, I've brought back the battle knife 'Carnage', how could my father have died? He still wants to see the battle knife Carnage."

  Lin Lei grasped the war knife 'Carnage' in one hand, and the bloody aura emanating from it even made Hiram feel a lump form in his chest.

  "Uncle Hillman, look! I brought back the war knife 'Carnage' and I'm going to tell my father that I can already transform into a Dragon Blood Warrior!" Lin Lei's hands began to sprout scales, and in just a moment they transformed into dragon claws.

  Two dragon claws grasped Hillman's shoulders, Lin Lei stared at Hillman: "Uncle Hillman, look, I can become a Dragon Blood Warrior now, I've brought back the war knife 'Carnage'! Really, where is my father? Where is my father!!!"

  "I'll let him see the slaughter of the war sword!"

  "I haven't told him yet, I can already become a Dragon Blood Warrior."

  Those dragon claws grasped Hillman, but their owner, Lin Lei, looked at Hillman with pleading eyes.

  "Uncle Hillman, please, I beg of you, tell me, where is my father?" Lin Lei looked at Hillman with pleading eyes, like a poor orphan who had lost everything. Like a drowning man clutching at the last straw, he grasped tightly onto Hillman.

  Hillman shook his head gently: "Lin Lei, your father, he's dead!"

  Lin Lei laughed, laughing so bleakly: "No, it won't happen. I still want to show him the war knife 'Carnage', I still want to tell him that I can already become a Dragon Blood Warrior. Tonight, I'll also have a good drink with him."

  As he spoke, Lin Lei's face was already streaming with tears.

  Hillman looked at Lin Lei, couldn't help but raise his head, and then two lines of tears flowed down.

  "No way, no way!!!"

  Lin Lei's sharp claws grasped Hillman, his eyes staring at Hillman, and even the pupils of his eyes revealed a dark golden color like the spiky iron armor dragon. A more terrifying aura than the war knife "Massacre" spread throughout the courtyard.

  That low, hoarse voice burst forth from his throat - "Tell me, where is my father?"
