Late at night, in Lin Lei's bedroom.
Muscle and bone vibrations continued to emanate from Lin Lei's body, his skin surface undulating and bulging at times, sweat beads seeping out of every pore on his body, while his face remained eerily calm.
At this moment, Lin Lei is cultivating the "Dragon Blood Secret Classic".
Lin Lei's first mobilization of the Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline allowed him to directly enter the sixth-level warrior realm. According to the records of the "Dragon Blood Warrior" scriptures, at the beginning of cultivation, the Dragon Blood Warrior bloodline in the body is very dense, and progress is extremely rapid.
The further back you go, the harder it is to make progress.
Especially after reaching level 9, it takes a breakthrough to reach the holy realm. The time spent may be longer than the sum of all past training times.
"Now the Radiant Church values me, and with the identity of Shi Du Master, my status is extraordinary. However, my own strength is not strong enough. They treat me well, mostly seeing my potential. I want to avenge myself, but my own power is not enough."
Lin Lei was well aware that his strength was still insufficient, after all, he couldn't just transform into a dragon and become a 'Dragon Blood Warrior' to kill people.
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Lei did not want to transform into the 'Dragon Blood Warrior' form. Because once others discovered that he could transform into a Dragon Blood Warrior, the consequences would be dangerous. After all, the Dragon Blood Warriors were too conspicuous.
Once a Dragon Blood Warrior sets foot in the Sacred Realm, they are absolutely a top-tier strongman of the Sacred Realm.
"Boss, isn't it too tiring?" Beibei lay on the bed watching Lin Lei cultivate.
Not only Beibei, but also Deling Kwokwai appeared beside him. Deling Kwokwai was also aware of Lin Lei's state of mind. His father's sudden death, plus the sudden discovery that his mother did not die in childbirth, but was kidnapped. These two things suddenly befell Lin Lei.
This blow is much heavier than Alice's unrequited love.
Dellin Kworte felt the endless hatred and killing intent deep within Lin Lei's heart. Dellin Kworte was very clear that if the hatred in Lin Lei's heart could not be properly vented, he would likely become a killing maniac in the future.
"I hope Lin Lei avenges himself soon, otherwise the longer he stays in this state of mind, the greater his mental changes will be." Delin Kowert also had some concerns in her heart.
The next morning.
In the Baroque family, there were many servants who were busy preparing various food materials. Lin Lei, who had been practicing for a night, walked out of his bedroom and looked at the busy figures of these servants.
"Lin Lei, today's guests are probably all big shots. Are you just going to deal with them like this?" Dirk Kowert appeared beside Lin Lei.
Lin Lei and Deling Kworte both guessed that the dignitaries of the Church of Light, as well as some of the great nobles of Fenley City, would soon learn of Lin Lei's father's death. Those people would likely come to pay their respects to Lin Lei's father. Naturally, Lin Lei would need to receive these people.
Lin Lei's prepared food materials are pretty good, but the chef is not. They're just two decent cooks in Wushan Town.
"You're having the two cooks of this small town entertain those big shots?" Derrin Kowert said with a smile.
"Let them taste the dishes of our countryside, it's already not bad," Lin Lei said and went to have breakfast. After finishing breakfast, Lin Lei continued to kneel in the living room to mourn. At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the sound of horseshoes echoed outside the Baroque family mansion.
A luxurious fleet of cars stopped outside the mansion gate.
"Old Three!" A familiar voice rang out.
Kneeling in the middle of the living room, Lin Lei turned his head to look towards the gate and saw Yale, Reno, and George rushing in. Having suffered two heavy blows in a short period of time, Lin Lei's gloomy mood was understandable. But seeing these three brothers who had grown up together at Ernst Magic Academy since childhood, Lin Lei couldn't help but have a hint of a smile on his face.
Yale, George and Reno entered the living room and all knelt down on the central cushion to kowtow.
"Lao San, I received the news of your father's passing last night and immediately brought Lao Er and Lao Si back. I guessed that many nobles would come today, so I also brought several master chefs from Fenlai City who rushed over overnight." Yale said in a low voice.
"Thank you." Lin Lei also sensed the urgency of his three brothers.
Summoning the great chef, preparing the car team, Renault and George probably still rushed to Finlay City from Ernst Magic Academy, and finally arrived with Yale in the middle of the night.
"Hey Lao San, don't be too sad." George also gently patted Lin Lei's shoulder.
Lei also stood beside Lin Lei: "Lin Lei, no matter what time it is, you still have us three brothers. No matter what happens, don't be knocked down, be strong."
Lin Lei glanced at Renault and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Even the usually mischievous Leno said such words, and Lin Lei felt warmth in his heart. After all, no matter what time it was, he still had three good brothers.
"Thank you." Lin Lei glanced at Yale, "Yale, the matter of entertaining those nobles will be left to your care. I have no experience with such things."
Yale nodded: "Don't worry, I've brought many people over. This reception work will definitely be done well."
The usually quiet Wushan Town is no longer quiet today, the residents of Wushan Town are gathering in twos and threes, discussing the luxurious motorcade that just passed by.
"This morning, there were over a hundred horses in that cavalry, and the carriages were also very luxurious. Those majestic knights... I've never seen such a luxurious cavalry in my life." An old man exclaimed as he looked at the cavalry outside the gate of the Baroque family.
The residents next door also nodded in admiration.
In an ordinary small town, they usually don't have the opportunity to see such a luxurious motorcade. Just the other day when Lin Lei came back, the cavalry team he brought with him was the talk of the town for a long time.
"You said, is Young Master Lin Lei a high-ranking noble outside?" A woman speculated, "Two days ago, I saw Young Master Lin Lei return with a powerful cavalry troop."
The whole morning in Wushan Town was filled with people constantly discussing something.
However, at around eleven in the morning - the ground began to shake, and the residents of Wushan Town all felt that dense and neat horseshoe sound. The density of this horseshoe sound far exceeded the previous team brought by Yale.
Wearing shiny armor, a powerful cavalry team galloped forward. Behind them were two extremely luxurious carriages, pulled by four fine horses, and the drivers of these carriages were all extremely strong warriors.
Behind these two carriages were several more carriages loaded with all sorts of gifts, and behind them was a cavalry troop from the guard.
The residents of Wushan Town looked up one by one.
The majestic momentum of the Knights Templar of the Holy See made all the residents of Wushan Town feel that those cavalry were coming over like a mountain, and every resident felt their hearts trembling. One by one, the luxurious carriages made them dizzy with wonder.
"What kind of people are these?" The residents of Wushan Town were all shocked and puzzled in their hearts.
The carriage also stopped in front of the Baroque family mansion.
The Baruch family also had a number of people who were specifically responsible for these carriages and horses.
"His Eminence Cardinal Gilmer, His Eminence Cardinal Lampson, arriving——"
That loud voice came from inside the Baroque family mansion, which caused a commotion among the residents of Wushan Town outside.
It's actually the Red Archbishop!
The Cardinals of the Holy See, in the eyes of ordinary people in the Sacred Alliance, are high and unattainable figures. In their hearts, the Cardinals are like stars in the night sky, dazzling but unreachable. But today, two Cardinals have come to a small place like Wushan Town.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"... The sound of horseshoes echoed again, and soon after the Red Robed Archbishop's convoy had just entered, another large-scale convoy came over, this convoy was even more luxurious than the Red Robed Archbishop's convoy. Beautiful maidservants, palace attendants with skin as white as women's...
That golden luxurious carriage.
The gallant knights all showed off their superb riding skills, and the neat and uniform hoofbeats were like drumbeats that resonated in the hearts of the Wushan Town residents.
The residents of Wushan Town went crazy.
"These, these big shots?" Many residents have never seen those big shots in their lifetime.
As the carriage stopped in front of the Baroque family mansion, a voice came from inside the Baroque family - "His Majesty Clyde, King of the Kingdom of Finley, has arrived."
"Your Majesty!"
The residents of Wushan Town looked at each other one by one.
For the residents of a kingdom, the king is like the brightest sun in the sky, controlling their very existence. But the king who should have been in the palace unexpectedly came to the small town of Wushan.
The sound of horseshoes continued.
One after another, teams of carriages arrived, and team after team drew up before the gates of the Barruc family mansion.
"His Excellency, Duke of Berna, Kingdom of Finlay, has arrived——"
"His Excellency, Marquis Jeb of the Kingdom of Finlay,"
"Earl Juno of the Kingdom of Finlay, to——"
"Miss Delia of the Laine family from the Yulan Empire, has arrived——"
"His Excellency Bernhard of House Debus, Duke of Kingdom of Finlay,"
Those sounds came out one after another, leaving the residents of Wushan Town completely stunned. What's going on? Why have so many big shots from high society gathered in this ordinary town of Wushan today? The residents of Wushan Town also guessed it.
Wushan Town, if there's anything big happening, it's just that Hogg is dead.
Could a mere noble from a small town like Kehok be enough to summon the king of a kingdom, and even the cardinal of the Radiant Church? The residents couldn't help but think back to the grand scene just a few days ago when Lin Lei led his cavalry troops back.
"All this is probably related to Young Master Lin Lei."
Although these ordinary residents are unclear about Lin Lei's affairs, they can also guess.
In the living room of the Baroque family mansion, Lin Lei knelt on one side.
Cardinal, Your Majesty the King, Duke, Marquis, Earl and other nobles either bowed or knelt down sincerely. Although Cardinal Gilmer and others only bowed, those who could make them bow were all big shots.
Today, however, he bowed his head in respect for the deceased Hagrid.
"Lin Lei, don't be too sad," Jill murmured softly beside Lin Lei.
"Thank you!" Lin Lei slightly bowed his head in gratitude.
"Lin Lei, your father's death is truly regrettable." Clyde also comforted Lin Lei.
See you later.
"Lin Lei, don't be too sad." A clear voice rang out.
Lin Lei looked up and saw Dilia wearing a simple outfit, looking at him with concern all over her face.
"Thank you." Lin Lei said softly.
Delia nodded slightly and was also led to the side by the servant, one after another, the nobles came to pay their respects to Lin Lei's father. Even Bernard, the head of the Debus family, came to pay his respects to Lin Lei's father.
"Master Lin Lei, don't be too sad," Bernard said politely.
Lin Lei still thanked him with a bow: "Thank you!"
"His Excellency, Duke Paderson of the Kingdom of Finlay, has arrived——" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.
Lin Lei's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
His father's death is related to Patterson. However, Lin Lei also knew that his father had changed his appearance and infiltrated the Duke's mansion, and it was likely that Patterson still did not know that Lin Lei's father was the one who was severely injured by him and eventually died.
Paderson looked very much like Clyde, with the same golden long hair and a pair of eyes as spirited as those of a falcon, with a straight waist and an air of nobility.
Paderson came into the living room and bowed respectfully in front of Hog's spirit tablet.
"Master Lin Lei, don't be too sad," Patterson said sincerely as he walked up to Lin Lei's side.
Lin Lei looked up at Patterson with a glance, looking into Patterson's friendly and sincere eyes, still politely said: "Thank you!" On the surface, it was impossible to see any difference in how Lin Lei treated Patterson compared to others.
