Lin Lei involuntarily turned his head towards the hall door.

  Wearing a red long gown, Gilmer's waist was straight, his smile was kind, but his eyes were sharp and firm. Under the escort of two white-robed priests, Gilmer stepped into the hall with big strides.

  "This Gilmer has arrived, hoping Clyde comes a bit later." Lin Lei thought to himself.

  His plan had only one weakness: Clyde would arrive at the same time as a ninth-level magician. After all, hemotoxic poison was ineffective against magicians.

  Lin Lei immediately stood up and stepped forward: "Lord Gilmer."

  "Lin Lei, look at you, your face is so pale, sit down quickly." Gilmer immediately stepped forward two steps to support Lin Lei.

  "Lord Gilmer, it's alright. Although I've injured my internal organs from practicing Dou Qi, I can still move around normally. Unfortunately, at least for a while, I won't be able to practice Dou Qi." Lin Lei sighed and said.

  "You still want to practice at this time?" Gilmer said angrily, "External injuries are easy to heal, but internal injuries are dangerous. If you don't rest well, you'll suffer from it for the rest of your life."

  "Thank you for your concern, Lord Gilmer."

  Lin Lei also had a good impression of Gilmer. Lin Lei looked at the hall door without freedom: "This Clyde, I hope he comes later."

  Yesterday's heavy snow made Fenley City extremely cold, and the road in front of the palace was still very sparse. At this moment, a guard team of over 100 people is protecting a luxurious golden carriage that has just come out of the palace gate.

  "Creak creak ~~"

  The wheels of the carriage pressed into the snow.

  "Ransome, open the car door." Clyde commanded.

  The interior space of the carriage was extremely large, and even if five or six people came in, it wouldn't feel crowded. This Lanselm was exactly Clyde's personal palace attendant, and Lanselm immediately responded with a "Yes, Your Majesty." He immediately lifted the curtain on the carriage door, and suddenly a chill invaded.

  However, neither Lancelot nor Clyde was afraid of the cold. Clyde only wore an inner suit and a coat, while Lancelot wore traditional court attire.

  "This Lin Lei, actually cultivated Dou Qi and injured his internal organs, it's really..." Clyde couldn't help but laugh and sigh.

  Lan Sem murmured in agreement, "That Lin Lei is so accomplished at such a young age. Even with great talent, one still needs to work hard to cultivate their skills. A warrior who can cultivate their Qi to the point of injuring their internal organs... it's clear what level they've reached in their cultivation."

  The human body has very high limits.

  But each time the potential is stimulated, it cannot be too large. The warrior cultivates and works hard, which is good, but also cannot cultivate to the point of overexertion, making the body unbearable.

  "Yes, Lin Lei, his future achievements will be boundless." Clyde also nodded in agreement.

  Lance looked at Clyde's face and was secretly amazed in his heart.

  He was deeply familiar with his master as Clyde's personal courtier. With Clyde's overbearing personality, he rarely treated someone so politely. But for Lin Lei, Clyde had never been impolite from start to finish.

  "What a pity that His Majesty was like that back then. Ah, His Majesty knew he had no hope of entering the sacred realm, which is why he valued Lin Lei so much." Lanzem was well aware of Clyde's secret.

  Although Clyde is a 9th-level strongman, Lanzem knows... unless the Lord of Light descends with divine power to help, Clyde will never set foot in the Sanctuary in his lifetime.

  "Your Majesty, Lord Lin Lei's mansion is approaching," Lanzem said softly.

  Through the car door, I clearly saw the gate of Lin Lei's mansion not far away, and at this time, two robust warriors with tiger backs and bear waists were standing at the gate. These two warriors were elite figures from the Knights Templar of the Holy See.

  "Halt!" The carriage came to a stop.

  Lanceum dismounted first and then respectfully waited for Clyde to get off the carriage.

  "We pay our respects to Your Majesty." The two guards at the gate both bowed and said.

  "Oh, someone arrived before me?" Clyde noticed another luxurious carriage parked on the side, with a group of Radiant Temple Knights standing nearby.

  "Yes, Lord Gilmer has arrived." One of the knights at the gate replied respectfully.

  "Has Lord Gilmer arrived? Good." Clyde turned his head to glance at his team, "You all stay here, Lanzem, come with me." With that, Clyde led his personal attendant into the manor's main gate.

  At this moment, Lin Lei was still talking to Gilmer, and he didn't know that Clyde had already arrived at the door.

  "Isn't this Gilmer leaving yet?" Lin Lei was getting a bit anxious.

  If Gillmer keeps talking to him like this, what's the point of it all. The longer they drag this out, the more troublesome it'll be. Lin Lei felt a surge of anxiety and immediately covered his mouth.

  "Cough, cough!" Lin Lei coughed several times in a row, his pale face flushing red from the exertion.

  "Lin Lei." Gilmer was taken aback.

  He didn't expect Lin Lei's injury to be so severe.

  "Lin Lei, take the medicine I brought for you and make sure to take it well, it has a repairing effect on your internal organs." Gilmer said hastily, "You're not feeling well, so get some rest early. I won't disturb your rest anymore." With that, Gilmer stood up.

  After coughing, Lin Lei's face turned even paler, without a hint of blood color.

  "Sorry, Lord Gilmer." Lin Lei said apologetically.

  "It's alright, you rest well, your body is the most important." Jill murmured a couple of times, then took the two white-robed priests out of the room.

  Naklede led Lanzem and had just stepped into the Lin Lei mansion when he heard a shout from behind: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

  Clyde looked back in puzzlement and saw Merit jumping down from the carriage quickly: "Your Majesty."

  "Merritt, you're here too?" Clyde chuckled and stopped to wait for Merritt.

  Merritt rushed to Clyde's front and flattered: "Lord Lin Lei was injured, how could I not come? Your Majesty, why did you bring Lancel alone and go in? It's not safe!" Merritt advised hastily.

  The king went to a minister's home, and his guards usually followed him in directly.

  Firstly for safety considerations, secondly also to demonstrate the king's power status.

  "No need for that, I just came to see Lin Lei, no need to make a big fuss." Clyde said with a smile, "Besides, in this place of Finlay City, who do you think can threaten me?"

  Clyde's confidence was not unfounded.

  Firstly, ordinary nine-grade strongmen were not something Clyde feared. The only ones who could truly make Clyde fearful were those who had reached the realm of sainthood. But would a saint come to assassinate him, a king? And this was Finlay City - the sacred capital of the Church of Light!

  In the headquarters of the Bright Church, who dares to be presumptuous?

  "Yes, yes, I was too anxious." Merit said hastily.

  "Come on," Clyde said, leading Merit and Ransom inside.

  "Your Majesty, Lord Lin Lei is recuperating in the east wing's solitary courtyard. I'll take you to him." Under the guidance of the lovely maid, Clyde, Merit, and Lanzem headed towards Lin Lei's resting place. However, halfway there, they saw Gilmer accompanied by two white-robed priests.

  "Lord Gilmer." Clyde, Merit, and Lanzham bowed simultaneously.

  "Clyde, you're here too." Gilmer nodded and said, "This time Lin Lei's internal injury shouldn't be light, he was coughing just now. When you go to visit him, don't waste too much of his time. Just a brief visit will do, let him rest well."

  "Understood." Clyde nodded.

  "Well, I'll go first then." Jill murmured and nodded, then led the two white-robed priests to leave.

  Clyde led Merit and Lancelot towards Lin Lei's residence.

  Gilliam's departure also made Lin Lei secretly let out a breath of relief. But before Lin Lei could catch his breath, a maid rushed over to deliver a message.

  "Lord Lin Lei, His Majesty the King has arrived with Prime Minister You." The maid hastily reported.

  "Are you here?"

  Lin Lei's eyes lit up.

  "After waiting for so long, it's finally here." Lin Lei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. "You go out first." Lin Lei immediately had the maid withdraw, and then he sat back down calmly on one side, quietly waiting for Clyde's arrival.

  In just a few seconds, Lin Lei heard footsteps.

  "Lin Lei." Just as Klaide had just walked to the door, his voice rang out. In a few steps, he walked in front of Lin Lei and said with great concern, "Lin Lei, you don't look very well. Quick, sit down, rest, take a good rest."

  Lin Lei was pressed down and sat back by Clyde.

  "Lord Lin Lei." Merit also bowed to Lin Lei.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lady Merit." Lin Lei said weakly.

  Lin Lei's heart was already racing with excitement, and when he first learned of his father's death, Lin Lei had asked Uncle Hilman to take the family heirloom 'War Blade Carnage' to the Aubrey Empire, he had already made up his mind to avenge him at all costs.

  Father, mother!

  My father's death is also related to Clyde. If it wasn't for Clyde letting Patterson's men kidnap his own mother, my father wouldn't have gone to avenge and lost his life. As for my mother, of course, she is also related to this Clyde.

  "Your Majesty, I'm fine. I just suffered a minor internal injury and can't cultivate my Qi anymore. But everyday activities are still no problem." Lin Lei said with a smile.

  "That's good, that's good." Clyde also cracked a smile.

  "Marquis Merit has also arrived this time." Lin Lei suddenly thought of something and exclaimed in surprise, "Right, the good wine Marquis Merit gave me last time I haven't drunk yet. Today Your Majesty and Marquis Merit have both arrived, so let's drink some together."

  Lin Lei said and walked towards the wine cabinet on the side.

  "No need, Lin Lei, you're injured, don't drink." Clyde advised.

  "It's nothing, this wound is just a minor one, and drinking some wine can even help to invigorate the blood vessels." Lin Lei said as he took out four wine cups and a bottle of red wine. "Lanselm, you sit down too. Here, there's no need to be polite."

  For Lansum, Lin Lei is very clear.

  As the personal attendant of Your Majesty, Lanzem's strength is still extremely strong. Although Lin Lei cannot confirm it clearly, in Lin Lei's view, this Lanzem is at least a seventh-level strongman, and may even be an eighth-level strongman.

  "No, I don't drink," Lansam said with a shake of his head.

  As Your Majesty's personal attendant, one must always remain vigilant.

  "Lin Lei, Lanseng doesn't drink, no need to let him drink." Clyde shook his head at Lin Lei, "Lin Lei, Lord Gilmer just bumped into me and said you have a bad cough. Let's get some rest instead of drinking."

  Don't drink alcohol?

  Others didn't know, but Lin Lei was very clear that the hemolytic toxin was in the wine. If Clyde didn't drink the wine, how could he be poisoned?

  "It's nothing, Lord Gilmer is just being overly concerned about me." Lin Lei smiled and poured wine for everyone. "Your Majesty Clyde, this bottle of wine is really good. Lady Merit, come on, let's raise our glasses." Lin Lei said as he raised his own glass.

  Clyde and Merit could only raise their glasses.

  The glasses clinked crisply and then Clyde, Merit and Lin Lei all took a sip.

  "Cough!"

  Lin Lei suddenly started coughing violently, spitting out the wine in his mouth. The cough was so severe that it brought a sickly flush to Lin Lei's face.

  "Lynn Ray, don't drink anymore. You insist on drinking." Clyde said discontentedly and hurried to support Lynn Ray.

  "It's nothing." Lin Lei smiled and reached out to stop Clyde.

  Suddenly, Lin Lei gazed at Clyde and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I have something very important to discuss with you."

  "Is it something important?" Clyde was puzzled by Lin Lei's expression.
